The house is also sold, and Wang Xiguang is empty of money and money!" Bing Kuan: "Evil comes with evil!" Huang Li: "I'm just wondering, Wang Xiguang stole so much money, Master Qi doesn't know?"

How much income per year?He must be confused!You ask him how much he spends a year?How much do you spend in January?He couldn't explain it either.Earning money is endless, spending money is endless, wealth comes like a landslide and tsunami, and wealth goes like a sea of ​​embankments bursting, and the whole life is a mess! " Bingkuan: "I want to be confused, can I be confused? I can count the money I earn with my eyes closed, and I know how to live. It's useless!" Xiao Hu: "You, Uncle Bingkuan! Your wealth comes in like a child pees, and your money goes away like dry stool!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Huang Li laughed so hard that he sprayed the watermelon all over the floor.At this time, Bingkuan saw Mr. Zheng, who was carrying a horse on his back, enter the gate, looking around and walking in, Bingkuan hurriedly opened the small window: "What are you doing?" Mr. Zheng: "Does Master Bai Qi live here?" Bing Kuan: "That's right!" Old Zheng: "Yeah!" Turning around and walking towards the front hall.Seeing this, Bingkuan hurriedly opened the door: "Hey! You don't recognize your life? Come in, come in, come in- come!"

Let's go, let's go, you haven't figured out which way the door of this big house opens, don't coax here!" Mr. Zheng threw the piggybag to the ground: "What are you doing! Why is it hindering you when I ask Master Seven? The people in your mansion have shallow eyesight and look down on us poor people!"

Bingkuan: "Is there someone like you? Go straight in and stare!" Mr. Zheng: "Master Seven doesn't look down on me, what are you!" Bing Kuan: "Be polite, Master Qi knows who you are?!" Mr. Zheng raised his foot suddenly: "Did you see it, did you see it?! Master Qi bought Neiliansheng's shoes for me!" Bingkuan: "Take a rest! Seventh master will buy you shoes, you are beautiful! Look at your dick!" Old Zheng was furious: "You are swearing!" Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped Bingkuan on the mouth, and Huang Li waited to come up to try to persuade him to fight.

Bingkuan yelled, "Master Huang, he hit people!" Mr. Zheng: "I told him that he wouldn't listen! Hit him?! I even tore out a lock of Mr. Qi's hair, and I beat him?! He is nothing!" Bingkuan was startled, and suddenly lost his temper, he looked at Old Man Zheng in amazement: "Wait! Master Seven's lock of hair was pulled off by you?" Old fart Zheng: "What's up with you!" Bing Kuan smiled: "I know about this, it's you who dare to love!" Huang Li: "Report to him!" Bing Kuan hurried out the door. Mr. Zheng raised his foot again: "Look at these shoes, Mr. Qi bought them! It's been three years since I'm not willing to wear them, so I just put them on today!"

Go to the north room of the upper courtyard. Jing Qi stood at the door: "Who is it? He asked for money, can you give him some money?" Bingkuan: "No! He said he was...he was...he was the one who pulled a lock of your hair!" Jing Qi wondered: "He, why is he here!" Then he turned around and shouted: "Hey, the kid who pulled my hair is here!" Jiuhong, Huaihua, Xiangxiu, Yuting, and Lianxin all gathered around: "Call in!" "Call us to have a look!" "I haven't seen anyone who dares to beat Qi Ye!"... After Bing Kuan left, Jing Qi walked to the door of the North House, and everyone stood on the porch, as if waiting to see some rare and exotic animals.Not too much time, Xiao Hu brought Mr. Zheng over here.As soon as we met, Mr. Zheng said timidly, "Seventh Master, how are you, old man!"

Jing Qi smiled and touched her bald head: "Okay, you're fine? There's another fight, and today you want to pull my hair, but it's not that easy. I've shaved off my bald head!" Everyone laughed. Old Zheng panicked: "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't know, I only found out when I bought the shoes!" Jing Qi smiled: "What's your name?" "Old Zheng fart!" Jing Qi was taken aback: "What?" Old Zheng shouted loudly: "Old Zheng!" Everyone laughed, and the girls bent over laughing. Mr. Zheng didn't care: "I'll send Master Qi some country food." As he spoke, he opened the piggy bank, revealing a little peanut and jujube.

Jing Qi: "Yes, thank you, go down to receive the reward, and leave after eating!" Old Zheng suddenly said with a heavy expression, "Master Seven, I'm not leaving, I'm here to join you! My hometown couldn't survive anymore, there was a catastrophe, and countless people died. "I couldn't help wiping my tears. Jing Qi: "How did you get this?" Zheng Laopi sighed: "These years are full of donations and taxes. Counting the country people is suffering! Except for those who can't walk, they all escaped to beg for food!" Zheng Laopi said, squatting on the ground Crying: "Our two little girls are starving to death... woo woo..."

Jing Qi turned around and said, "Look, Xiangxiu, do you remember that year when you fled famine and went to the city? It was the same!" Xiangxiu sympathized: "Country people are afraid of disaster years!" Old Zheng: "After so many years of war and chaos, I haven't had a peaceful life. Anyone who comes over will grab one--" Jing Qi: "Then you stay here. Xiao Hu, tell him to replace Chen San'er in the horse house. Chen San'er is getting old, just look at the gate and so on." Old Zheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you Seventh Master, my family of eight thank you Seventh Master!"

Feng Liu: "Man, don't choke!" Mr. Zheng stuffed the last bite into his mouth and stood up. Feng Liu looked at Mr. Zheng gobbling his fart, and couldn't help saying: "Are you full!" Mr. Zheng: "Forget it, let's do it!" Feng Liu: "Don't tell me, master Qi knows you haven't eaten enough, so I won't be scolded?! Why don't you just add another catty and roll all the meat for you."

Jiali's small courtyard. north house.Binglian holds the child and looks at Jiuhong strangely. Jiuhong: "Master Seven told me to take Qiqi over there, he misses his granddaughter." Bing Lian: "Grandma just went to look for Master Seven..." Jiuhong: "Yes, I asked her why she didn't bring the child over to have a look, so she asked me to pick it up." Bing Lian was puzzled: "Why didn't Grandma herself..." Jiuhong interrupted Binglian's words: "Honghua, quickly take the child!" Ice Sheet: "I'll send it!" Jiuhong: "No! Call Lianxin to send it back later!" Jiuhong couldn't help but hugged the child to Honghua, and pushed Honghua out of the room.

Jiuhong said hurriedly: "Take me to the small courtyard where I used to live, the house is empty, please nurse, let's go!" Watching Yang Yizeng and Chen Yuezhi get into the car and drive away, Jiuhong breathed a sigh of relief... The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan. Just as Jiuhong was about to enter the room, the door opened, and Jiali came out, gave Jiuhong a sideways look, and left without hesitation. Xiangxiu sent to the door: "Auntie, go slowly!" Jiuhong and Honghua entered the door. In the main room, Jing Qi was smoking a cigarette alone.Jiuhong came over: "Is there something wrong with her?" Jing Qi: "It seems that about He Luofu, she knows something!" Jiuhong: "How did she know?" Jing Qi: "She insists on going to Hunan to find Luo Fu. I can only say that there is a place in the army, and she can't just run around like a fly without a head!" Jiuhong: "How long can we keep this secret? Sooner or later, I have to tell her!" Jing Qi: "I'm worried here too! How can I be a widow at such a young age?!" The north room of Jiali's small courtyard. Jiali and Binglian stood in the middle of the room.Jiali's eyes were burning: "When did you take her away?!" Bing Lian said timidly, "Not long!" Jiali raised her hand and slapped the ice sheet on the mouth: "Who told you to ask her to take it away?!" Binglian said with a mournful face, "I'm also muttering in my heart!" "Confused!" Jiali hurriedly turned and ran out the door. The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan. Jiali opened the door and walked in, staring at Jiuhong dead.Jiuhong looked at Jiali nonchalantly. Only Jing Qi was surprised: "Why are you back again?" Jiali ignored the scenery chair, walked up to Jiuhong step by step, and looked at him with hatred.Jiuhong avoided Jiali's gaze and turned her head to look elsewhere. Carrie: "Where's my baby?" Jing Qi was surprised: "What child?" Jiali asked Jiuhong angrily: "Where did you take my child?" Seeing Jiuhong looked around as if she didn't hear, Jiali cried out, "My child?" ! --" Jing Qi hurriedly stood up and looked at Jiu Hong: "You hugged her child? " Jiuhong thought for a while, then calmly said: "I hugged it!" Jiali said angrily, "Give it back to me!" Jiuhong: "My grandson, I can hug him whenever I want!" Jiali said angrily, "Where did you hide?" Jiuhong: "I can't tell you that!" Jiali rushed into the Xili room suddenly, Honghua was frightened and panicked, she hurriedly lowered her head and slipped out.Seeing that there was no child, Jiali turned around and was about to leave the house when Jiuhong stepped in: "Don't look for it, it's not here!" Jiali was full of hatred: "What on earth do you want?!" "I'm worried about leaving this child with you! I'm raising it! I..." Before Jiuhong finished speaking, Jiali suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jiuhong's shoulders, shaking desperately, "You give me back my child! Give me back my child." child!" Jing Qi rushed in and separated the two with force: "What are you doing! What are you doing! Let go! If you have something to say, talk it out!" Jiali: "Dad! She secretly took my child away and asked her to return my child!" Jiuhong walked towards the bed: "Don't even think about it! You don't even want to touch this child in the future!" Jiali rushed forward frantically, but Jing Qi hugged her tightly and dragged her away. Jia Li: "I'll fight with you!" Jiuhong sat down on the bed calmly. Jiali said fiercely: "Yang Jiuhong! You wait! When He Luofu comes back, he will not spare you!" Jiuhong also said fiercely: "Grandma! Don't dream! He Luofu is already dead!" Jing Qi shouted sharply: "Jiuhong!" Jiali was stunned, she looked at Jing Qi, and then looked back at Jiu Hong in horror.Jing Qi lowered her head in frustration.Jiuhong smiled bitterly and said: "You don't believe it! After so many days, has he ever come to write a letter? Did you hear back from the letter you sent? If you don't believe me, ask the uncle, he has already followed up the letter, and he is hiding it from you!" "Dad—is it true?" Jiali turned her face to look at Jing Qi and asked with a trembling voice. Jing Qi patted Jia Li's shoulder lightly and sighed, unable to say anything. Jiali yelled in despair: "What's the matter! What's the matter!" Covering her face, she ran out of the house crying. Jing Qi looked back at Jiu Hong, full of complaints and puzzlement.Jiuhong tried her best to conceal her pain and uneasiness, stood up and sat down again.Jing Qi walked slowly to the bed: "What are you doing? Return the child to her!" Jiuhong gritted her teeth: "I don't! I want to ask her to try it too. What is it like for a daughter to grow up and deny her mother?" Guang Jingqi sighed: "Why bother, Jiuhong!I know your heart is broken, but Jiali is your own daughter!

Jing Qi: "The flowers are growing well! You are really talented, Jin Er!" Jin Er: "Heirloom!" "Are you in your thirties this year?" "Thirty-two." "You don't want to marry a wife either?" Jing Qi walked up to Jin Er and stopped. "How can I not miss it, who will follow me when I look like this!" Jin Er said helplessly. "I'll give you a sting!" "That's great!" "Don't you think you're ugly?" "I still dare to dislike other people's appearance, as long as they are a woman." Jing Qi said to Huai Hua: "Choose one for him among the girls?" Huaihua: "Okay, let's do less evil! It doesn't matter if you can find one anywhere, you have to be willing." Jing Qi looked at Jin Er: "I said Jin Er, you are a skeleton, can you do it?...I mean, can you do it!" Jin Er: "Okay, be tough!" Xiangxiu secretly laughed beside her.Huai Hua gave Jing Qi a hand, complaining, "What are you asking? In front of a girl!" Jing Qi: "What are you afraid of? I have to understand, if he doesn't work well, I won't delay other girls!" street. Mr. Zheng was still driving the old-fashioned carriage, shaking his whip and eating a roll of flatbread with meat.Jing Qi, who was sitting in front of the car, stared straight at him as he calmly ate up the flatbread, and couldn't help saying: "One catty of flatbread, four mouthfuls? What kind of meal is this?" Mr. Zheng: "Breakfast!" "Do you still eat at noon?" "Eat one or two!" "You have to take two or three catties a day?" "Five catties!" Jing Qi was surprised: "Good guy, even if the countryside is not desolate, if you eat like this, you won't be able to get enough food." Old fart Zheng: "My son can eat better than me." "Old Zheng fart!" "Hey!" "It's not good to name it, why call it Old Zheng?" "I have a habit of farting since I was a child, and I can't fart well. It's all listless. My mother gave me such an ugly name." Jing Qi suddenly turned up and let out a loud fart.Pedestrians on the road looked at the car strangely. Zheng Laopi looked at Jing Qi in great surprise: "Is this your fart?" Jing Qi: "Yes!" Old Zheng sighed in admiration: "What a guy! Your fart has shocked half the street. If your family luck is so good, you are a lucky person to hear this fart. People are more angry than people, I can't do it!" The car passed a tavern, Mr. Zheng patted the mule lightly: "Walk slowly." He hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran into the tavern.When Mr. Zheng entered, he already had the money in his hand, and the clerk also came forward with a drink or two, took the money with one hand and poured the wine into his mouth with the other.Old Zheng shouted again: "A note!" The man grabbed a note from the plate on the desk and threw it into his mouth. Old Zheng turned around and left the tavern again. He ran a few steps to catch up with the carriage and jumped on it.Jing Qi, who turned his face to look at all this, was secretly amazed, and appreciatively asked, "Have you had a drink?" "Drink a cup!" Zheng Laopi was very satisfied.Just as Jing Qi was about to say something, he suddenly saw Yu Ting on the road and hurriedly pulled the reins: "Woo-oo-stop!" The car stopped. Yuting also saw Jing Qi and hurried over.Jing Qi asked, "Aren't you going to the garden today?" Yu Ting: "Go, I have something important to discuss with you today!" Jing Qi: "Get in the car, come with me!" Yu Ting got into the car: "I want to move out of your place!" Jing Qi was taken aback: "What are you doing? You live well!" Yuting: "I bought a new house." Jing Qi: "Yes! You are rich, don't spend it recklessly, you own a large share of our second room!" Yu Ting: "Listen to me, I want to start a family, and I can't live alone." Jing Qi was very surprised: "That's right. Who are you looking for? Tell me quickly?!" Yu Ting: "I don't like anyone!" Jing Qi asked strangely, "Then who are you going to marry?" Yuting said very seriously, "Wan Xiaoju!" Jing Qi was discouraged all of a sudden: "Sister, you don't want my life! I have been there twice in person, no way! Didn't I tell you!" Yu Ting: "I know it won't work! I don't need to ask anyone, can I marry his photo?" Jing Qi didn't care at all: "Then no one cares about you if you tie eight times!" Yu Ting: "Then it's settled!" Jing Qi: "What and what?! Are you telling the truth?" Yu Ting: "Who's kidding with you! I'm thirty-six years old. As a woman, I have to marry once, and it's worth living in this world. I can't look down on anyone in this world..." Jing Qi listened dumbfoundedly. "I don't want to marry anyone except Wan Xiaoju, since he doesn't want to... I'll marry his picture." Jing Qi: "You are really infatuated. But... what is this called... What are you going to do? What are you going to do? How do you end up here?" Yu Ting: "Get married formally, you officiate, send me to the new house, pray to heaven and earth, enter the bridal chamber, be the deacon of the bridal sedan chair, and get married, all of which are indispensable." Jing Qi was full of bewilderment and uneasiness, looking at Yuting who was full of sincerity, she really couldn't think of what to say: "This is a big deal, not a joke!" Yu Ting: "Can you help me with this?" Jing Qi was really anxious: "How can I help? Ah, how can I help?!" Yu Ting: "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, I will marry the photo and follow the photo, I will guard him for the rest of my life, and I will never marry again!" Jing Qi was irritated and helpless: "Fresh! How can I tell my family?" Yu Ting: "Say what you want!" Jing Qi: "This is no longer a joke!" Yu Ting: "Whoever likes to laugh, whoever makes a joke, everyone will go their own way!" In the play garden.night. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, Wan Xiaoju was performing "Hongniguan".

Jing Qi: "I can't persuade you, and I won't persuade you either! Anyone who wants to persuade him will go!" Jing Shuang, Jing Ye, Jing Sheng, Jing Tang, Manager Hu, and Master Zhao Wu are all there. Jing Shuang: "Then you are the officiant?" Jingye gloated: "This is good! It's lively! Wan Xiaoju married a daughter-in-law in a daze!" Jing Qi: "Stop making noises here!" Jingye: "Who is making a fuss, what am I making a fuss about! Is there such a thing? Married to a photo?! The next day it will be spread all over the city of Beijing, the door of the Bai family's mansion is married to a photo, crazy!" Jing Yi: "Is she really mentally ill?" Jing Qi: "No!"

Jingsheng: "In ancient times, there were no photos!" Jingtang: "Whoever he likes to tie up with, anyway, I won't go!" Jingye: "I can't go! What do you say there? Congratulations, you and the photo will grow old together!" Jing Sheng: "Then there must be something wrong with us!" Jing Qi: "Okay, okay! I can't discuss anything with you, but there is one thing, it doesn't matter if you don't go, each person has to give a gift, it's only once in a lifetime!" Jingye: "Send! Send——I'll give her a rattle, and she will give birth to a big fat boy in the coming year!" Jing Qi glared, "I think you're crazy!" Jingye: "Anyway, either she has it or I have it." Jing Qi: "You guys! I don't know how difficult it is to be a woman! If she didn't really like Wan Xiaoju, would she be able to do this? This is love, hey, love! This is driving her to a dead end, she I just made a show for you to see!" Everyone was dumbfounded. Jing Qi: "Don't stare, there are too few women like this in the world, it's rare!" Yuting's new home is in the west living room. Jing Qi and Yu Ting sat on the sofa with the same Western-style furniture. Jing Qi: "I've thought about it, don't invite a single guest, why invite them here? They're not here to look at the rarity! How many people really know your affection? There's no need to ask them to have fun! You want me to Officiant, let's do this!" Yu Ting shed tears silently: "Seventh brother! You really love me, I know me, thank you!" Jing Qi: "I invited a troupe of drummers, it's their theater troupe's cultural and martial arts arena. There are also guests, and they are also friends of the troupe." Yu Ting: "Aren't they laughing at me?" Jing Qi: "When Qi Futian and the others heard about this, they all admired it very much, saying that it is rare that there are such infatuated people in the world, and they have brought credit to us actors!"

Baicao Hall had just opened for business that day, and a Japanese in his thirties, Tian Muqingyi, took his wife Michiko and ten-year-old daughter Tian Yulan, and walked into the old house of the Bai family. Tian Mu's family walked slowly in the hall, watching, Tian Mu said something to his wife and daughter from time to time. A group of shopkeepers watched attentively and saw them walking behind the drug buyer from time to time, hurriedly walked over, and came to Tian Mu: "Sir, what do you want to buy?" Tian Mu: "Excuse me, is Mr. Bai Jingqi in?" Dude: "Our chairman is not here. What can you do?" Tian Mu: "I want to meet him, where can I find him?" Guy: "I'll give you a call and ask, what's your last name?" Tian Shui: "You just say that I'm from Japan, and I'm here for a special visit!" The man was surprised: "Yes! Please wait a moment!" The man hurriedly walked to the back, and Tian Mu pointed to his wife and daughter again. The front hall of the new house is the living room outside the north house. Xiao Hu and Jing Qi walked into the living room, Tian Mu and others hurriedly stood up.Jing Qi looked at them and found that Tian Yulan was holding a knife in the cup. Jing Qi politely said, "Please sit down, may I ask your surname!" Tian Mu didn't sit down and didn't answer, but asked instead: "Are you Mr. Bai Jingqi?" Jing Qi: "Exactly!" Tian Mu: "Do you remember that thirty years ago, that is, the year of Gengzi in your country, the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, and 1900 AD, you met a Japanese friend in Baicao Hall!" Jing Qi understood and nodded, "I remember! Of course I remember!" Tian Mu: "I am his son Tian Mu Qingyi." He turned around and introduced, "My wife Michiko; my daughter, I gave her a Chinese name, Tian Yulan!" Jing Qi looked at it in surprise: "Tian Yulan? Good, good!" Tian Mu looked at Yulan: "Yulan." Yulan hurriedly stepped forward, handing the sword to Jing Qi with both hands. Jing Qi took the sword. "I saw it as soon as I entered the door!" Jing Qi pulled out half of the treasured knife at once, looked at it, but saw that the scabbard was brand new and the blade was bright.Jing Qi sighed: "Thirty years!" Putting the knife into its sheath, she said excitedly, "Rare guest! Honored guest! I'm neglecting you, please go to the upper courtyard, please!" Jing Qi led the way first, followed by Tian Mu and others. The new house is located in the north house of the upper house. Jingye walked out from Donglijian with a Japanese saber and handed it to Tian Mu. Tian Mu took the knife and pulled out half of it to look at it.The sword is as good as ever.Tian Mu sheathed the knife: "There is a saying in China, if you don't fight, you can't make a deal. I call you uncle, and Jingye is the big brother. My father has always missed you very much." Jing Qi: "The two of us have sworn that China and Japan will never go to war again, and we will be friends! Why doesn't he come? " Tian Mu: "It's been five years since I passed away." Jing Qi: "It's a pity. He promised me to go to Japan and help me open a Baicao restaurant in Japan." Tian Mu: "Let me fulfill this last wish. I am studying Western medicine, but my father has been studying Chinese medicine. He also forced our family to learn Chinese. He can also sing Chinese operas!" Jing Qi smiled: "That's what I taught him, look at that black hole, right?" Tian Mu also smiled: "That's right! I can sing when I have nothing to do, but I know this sentence. He wanted me to learn Chinese medicine. Before he died, he told me to come to China to find you and learn Chinese medicine from you. I brought my whole family here. ." Jing Qi: "What's your plan this time?" Tian Mu: "I want to open a hospital and study the method of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat diseases." Jing Qi shook her head: "Although both Chinese and Western medicine cure diseases, the methods of treatment are opposite. Western medicine treats the symptoms, while Chinese medicine treats the root cause. How can they be combined?" Tian Mu: "Combined, isn't it a temporary solution as well as a root cause?" West Hall.Jiuhong was chatting with Michiko, Jiuhong held four-year-old He Qi in her arms, and Tian Yulan stood in front of He Qi to tease her. Jiuhong gently pushed He Qi to Yulan, and said: "Chess, go play with sister!" Yulan took He Qi out. Michiko: "Is this your granddaughter?" Jiuhong: "Granddaughter!" Michiko: "Are her parents there? Would you like to meet?" Jiuhong said embarrassingly, "Ah - all of them are gone." Michiko: "Ah, see you later!" Jiuhong: "His father died in the army during the Northern Expedition." Michiko said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry!" main hall.Tian Mu looked at Jing Qi expectantly: "I have brought the funds this time, and I hope to be able to invest in Baicao Hall." Jing Qi was stunned for a moment, but didn't answer, and hurriedly put cigarettes into the cigarette pot in a disguised manner.Jingye watched them attentively from the sidelines. Tian Mu saw Jing Qi's hesitation: "In the future, we can expand the semicolon to Japan and Southeast Asia." Jingye said excitedly: "That's good, let's bloom everywhere! If again..." Jing Qi said displeasedly: "Jingye!" Jingye hurriedly stopped talking, not daring to say any more. Jing Qi: "I'm afraid it won't work. The Baicao Hall is the property of the three of us, and I can't say it alone!" Tian Mu: "Can we discuss it together? Only with a large capital investment can we develop greatly and make a lot of money!" Jingye was eager to try, wanted to say something, but didn't dare to say it. Jing Qi: "The Bai family's ancestral rules don't allow foreign shares." Tian Mu: "But after the eleventh year of Guangxu, the Bai family only took half of the shares." Jing Qi looked at Tian Mu in amazement: "You really know it like the back of your hand! But it was a last resort. In the seventeenth year of Guangxu's reign, it was all taken back, which is also following the ancestor's precept!" Tian Mu: "Is there no other way to accommodate?" Jing Qi: "I'm afraid not!" Tian Mu: "Uncle might as well talk about the conditions." Jing Qi resolutely: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore!" Jingye couldn't hold back anymore: "Brother, you can invest in other semicolons!" Tian Mu was very interested: "What semicolon?" Jing Qi was surprised, frowned and stared at Jingye, Jingye didn't seem to notice: "The semicolons are all opened by the heads of the houses themselves, and they are not under the management of the public!" Tian Mu: "Are there any rooms?" Jingye: "Yes! I opened a Zhongcaotang in Zhushikou, which is also the old name of the Bai family!" Tian Mu: "This Zhongcaotang is the elder brother's own decision?" Dedicated: "Of course!" Tian Mu: "Can I go to your account to have a look?" Dedicated: "Yes, yes!" Jing Qi hurriedly stopped him: "Don't go in such a hurry, we'll talk about this later." Jingye: "Go and see what you are afraid of first!" Jing Qi couldn't get angry in front of the guests, so she had no choice but to suppress the fire: "I have ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner." Tian Mu had already stood up, a little impatiently: "Don't bother, let's go and have a look first!" Dedicated and active: "Let's go, let's go!" Jing Qi reprimanded Jingye: "Dedicated, do you know how to be polite! Keep the guests for dinner first, and talk about things tomorrow." Jingye: "Etiquette can't be wrong, I'll invite him to eat outside after watching it!" Jing Qi sat back on the chair discouraged. West Hall.Seeing that Michiko also stood up, Jiuhong said: "You guys go to yours, let's talk here, I'll keep them for dinner." Jing Qi watched helplessly, Tian Mu and Jingye went out, Zhan Yuan, Tian Yulan, and He Qi were chasing, running, and yelling in the courtyard. The second hall of the new house.night. Huang Li was patrolling the house with the dog and the chair in his arms, and Jing Qiha sipped: "Light up the lights in each house—be careful with the candles!" Jingye walked out from the third hall, and when he saw the scenery chair, he hurried back.Jing Qi found out and asked, "Who?!" Jingye hurriedly stopped and turned around and said, "Dad, it's me." Jing Qi said coldly: "Come here!" Jingye hurried over.Jing Gao asked, "What did you say to the Japanese?" Jingye: "He wants to buy shares." Jing Qi: "Do you know the origin and background of this person?" Jingye: "Isn't it your friend's son?!" Jing Qi: "Thirty years. Do you know what he is here for? The Japanese are making a lot of noise outside the border, do you know that?" Dedicated: "I know." Jing Qi: "You have to be careful when dealing with the Japanese." Dedicated: "Yes!" Jing Qi: "It's okay to talk about other things. If you leak a piece of our ancestral secret recipe to him, I'll take your skin off! Get lost!" Let Jing Qi speak.In the late autumn of the second year of Tian Mu's visit, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was raging outside the customs, finally launched the "September 18th Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries.The bad news spread to Beijing. The wind is howling, the dust is flying, and the fallen leaves are flying and rolling all over the street; the rickshaw puller is pulling the cart and walking in the headwind; the newsboy is shouting: "The little Japanese has occupied Shenyang City."... People panic.The Baizhai, especially the people in charge of the Baicao Department, were even more worried about the fate of Mr. Xu who went to the customs to handle medicinal materials. Two days later, Mr. Xu came back!Jing Qi immediately sent a message, and everyone gathered in the office of Baicao Hall. Baicao Office Office. Jing Yi, Jing Shuang, Jing Gao, Jing Huo, Jingye, Jingtang, Jingyi, Jingsheng, Zhao Wuye, Tu Erye, and Datouer filled the room, all staring nervously at Mr. Xu who just came back. Mr. Xu: "...nearly dead! Nearly dead! All along the way, there are Japanese soldiers guarding them, whether they are outposts or watchtowers. The most stringent investigation is the medicine. I am afraid that the medicine made for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces will be buried alive if found out. I have seen it myself. I saw it, and buried three old medicinal herbs... Oh, those are serious business people! " Jing Qi was concerned: "Is it okay to transport it to Guanli?" Mr. Xu: "He doesn't care where you ship it! Even if you get to Shanhaiguan, you can't get it in!" Jing Yi: "You can't just watch hundreds of thousands of dollars of medicinal materials being destroyed outside the customs, right?" Guang Jingsheng: "Master Xu and Master Tu can't get in, let alone us!" " Jingye: "Who dares to touch the Japanese! Good guy, buried alive!" Jing Qi: "I have to go to someone and find a way to get the medicinal materials back!" Tu Erye: "I'm not refusing, it's okay to go again, but my family must go alone, no matter what happens, I have a responsibility!" Jing Qi: "Of course. What do you think? Who is going to go on this trip?" No one spoke, some spit, coughed, read newspapers... Jing Qi was a little angry: "Hmph! As I said earlier, it's all in the nest. It's as if my family beats my own family to keep up with Xian'er. The outsiders are all scumbags! Dedicated, you go!" Jingye stood up in fright: "Ouch! Dad, don't tell me how far I go with this leg. It's hard to walk from the east room to the west room!" Jing Qi: "I don't feel relieved if you want to go!" Dedicated: "That's just right!" Jingsheng: "Uncle Qi! I really want to go, but you know, my shop has not been open for a long time, so I can't leave it!" Jingyi: "You can't leave? Whose shop has just opened!" Jingsheng: "Then you go!" Jingyi: "When I encountered this incident, I was told to go. Why don't you think about me when it's a good thing!" Jing Si: "What are you talking about, huh?! Did you tell me to go? My police department is on duty, and I can't leave even one step!" Everyone stopped talking.In the silence, Second Master Tu and Mr. Xu looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.Jing Yi caught a glimpse and said loudly, "I'll go!" Jing Qi: "Okay, brother! Can this stall on the cabinet leave you? Let me go! I know this road too!" The young man suddenly stopped enthusiastically: "No, no! You are your age!" "Isn't it only a hundred thousand silver! Don't ask for money or life!" "Let's go, my brothers, where can I excuse you! ""You must go, but bring a few more people with you!"... Jing Qi shouted angrily: "You little bastards, get out of here!" All of them were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.Jing Qi suddenly waved a long pipe at them and said, "Get out! Get out!" Jingye limped away first, followed by Jingsheng, Jingtang, and Jingyi. Jing Yi: "Lao Qi, you can't go, the house is a big mess, and once you leave, there will be no one in the house!" Jing Qi: "Then what? Do you have any better ideas?" Jing Shuang, who had been silent all this time, murmured: "Lao Qi, I'm such a wimp, I can't handle diplomacy, and when I meet the Japanese, I will even have diarrhea!" Jing Qi: "Second brother, what I said just now was not aimed at you! It's settled, I'll go! Don't forget to collect the body for me when you die outside!" In the new house, there is a room on the west side of the north house in the courtyard.night. Jiuhong: "You want to go out to the northeast?" Jing Qi: "Who will go if I don't! How come such a bunch of things are born! None of them are successful!" Jiuhong: "You can't go!" 红花打来洗脚水，九红伺候着景琦脱鞋脱袜。景琦洗着脚："我不去？说得轻巧！你去！" "我去！"九红十分认真。 景琦以为她在说笑："行了，我够烦了，你还在这儿打哈哈儿！" 九红："这种要紧的时候，我跟你打什么哈哈儿！你想想，现在家里这个样儿，跟军阀混战差不多，各自都要占山为王。有你在家还能震唬得住，你一走非乱了套不可！" 景琦："那也只能等回来再说。" 九红："你都过了五十了，自打重病那一场，哩哩啦啦小病就没断，你吃不了这个苦了。" 景琦："吃不了也得吃，十几万银子事小，药材接济不上，生意还做不做？！" 九红："其实最叫人不放心的是你那脾气！出了关就是日本人的天下，万一你遇上日本人找麻烦，十有八九，你就回不来了。" 景琦确实心服口服，低头不语了。 九红："所以，我去！" 景琦不耐烦地："就算我不适合，也轮不着你！" 九红平静地："一是家里有我没我无所谓；二是我比你们家那些爷心都细，保准儿不会出错儿；三是我这一年多跟美智子学了不少日本话，见了日本人我对付得了！" 景琦这才抬头仔细看九红："你这是说真事儿呢？" 九红："我想了一天了，你也不用再为难，就我去吧！" 景琦泄气地："话是这么说，真要叫你去，我们白家这些爷们儿脸往哪儿搁？算了，睡觉！"景琦擦了脚往床里坐。 九红忙推挡着："去去！过东屋睡去，我今儿不留你，还好多事儿要办呢！" 景琦下地穿鞋："该睡觉了，你还有什么事儿？" 九红："你甭管！哎呀，快走吧！" 景琦奇怪地望着九红。 新宅上房院北屋东里间。 景琦抱着槐花躺在床上。槐花听罢景琦对九红要出关的感慨，醋意地："胡闹！一个女人家出去抛头露面，像什么话！" 景琦："说说而已，你还当真了！" 槐花："不过你不能去，这倒是实话。" 景琦："只能我去，也不过个把月的时候，我就是不放心家里。" 槐花撒娇地："你还是别去吧！我不愿一个人儿留家里，要不，你带我一块儿去吧！" 景琦："算了吧，别再给我添累赘了！"说着，景琦翻身压在了槐花身上。 东里间门外。正在睡觉的香秀被男人低沉地吼声一阵惊醒，忙坐起，睡意蒙俄地茫然四顾。东里间又传出景琦"啊啊"的叫声，香秀忙站起走到门口又猛地站住了，只听里面传出景琦杀人一样的嚎叫声。 香秀回过身嗔怪地笑着，皱起眉头，自言自语地："老是弄得那么大声儿！"她突然躺回卧榻，一拉被子蒙住头。里屋又传出喘息声。 香秀在被子里咯咯地笑着，只见被子一起一伏地颤动。 The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan.early morning. 香秀开门接过老妈子递过的水壶又进了屋，莲心端水而过。 东里间门口外，红花走来，在门外叫："七老爷！姨奶奶请您过去一趟！" 景琦很快走出来："小点儿声，小姨奶奶还睡着呐！一大早儿叫我干什么？" 红花笑着："您去了就知道了！"景琦和红花走向西里间。 红花打起帘子，景琦走进屋一下子愣住了，惊讶地望着。出现在面前的竟是脸朝里的一个男人，头戴皮帽子，穿着马裤、马靴。 景琦正不知所措，男人转过身，竟是九红。九红不无得意地："吓了你一跳吧？以为我把了野男人进屋了吧？" 景琦上下打量着九红，慢慢走上前："这是要干什么？" 九红："女扮男装闯关东！" 景琦点着头："还真是个英俊小生！" 九红突然用日语说道："我们这批药材是北平百草厅采购的，每年都要办一次，请你们放行吧！" 景琦看傻了，也听傻了。 九红："怎么样？这回可以放心叫我去了吧！" 景琦："你是巾帼不让须眉呀！你一定要去就去吧，喳喳喳！羞煞我们家的老爷们儿！" "哈哈！爷爷，你投降了！"九红高兴地摘下皮帽，扣在景琦头上，露出了一头长长的散着的黑发。 景琦："一路上千万得小心，万一出了事儿……" 九红："不许给我念丧！可有一样你得答应我！" 景琦："说吧，我有什么不能答应的？！" 九红："我得带槐花去！" 景琦惊讶地："为什么？" 九红："遇见点儿什么事儿，好有个商量的人！" 景琦："她懂什么？" 九红："总比丫头强！" 景琦："涂二爷他们都去，你跟他们商量嘛！" 九红："也得有个女人，两人相互照应着点儿！" 景琦摆着手："哎，不行不行，太危险了！" 九红用手指戳着是传的脑门儿："说话不算数！刚才怎么说的？ 刚才怎么说的？她危险，我就不危险？别太偏心了，才一个多月就熬不住了？ " 景琦："什么话！你真要用得着，就带她去！我怕她帮不了你的忙，倒给你添累赘！" 九红："当然用得着！" 景琦："这有什么？你说怎么着就怎么着吧！"
