If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 134: Asking the world, what is love...

As expected.

The next moment, the landlady walked over with a charming attitude, first smiled at Ding Xiu, and then glanced at Zuo Qianhu with a resentful look.

"Hey, Master Qianhu, why are you free to come here today?"

Zuo Qianhu coughed dryly and showed a stiff smile to the landlady: "I made an appointment with a friend to come over for a drink. By the way, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ding."

"Long blessing, Mr. Ding!" the proprietress said with a side-blessing salute.

Ding Xiu smiled: "The boss lady doesn't need to be polite."

At this time, the landlady ordered the waiter: "We have distinguished guests coming, why don't you prepare some good wine and food?"

"Yes!"

The guy responded quickly.

After the food and wine were served, the landlady came forward and toasted the two of them a glass of wine respectively.

After a while, two more middle-aged men walked in. They looked a bit like people from the martial arts world.

"Hey, gentlemen, please take a seat."

The landlady warmly greeted them and asked them to sit down.

As soon as we sat down, one of the men said carelessly: "Madam boss, please bring some good wine and good food to the table!"

The landlady replied with a smile: "Okay..." Then she shouted in a long voice: "Xiao Heizi, hurry up and prepare some wine and food for you two."

"okay!"

During this period, the two men put their heads together and muttered something.

After a while, the guy called Xiao Heizi brought wine and two plates of freshly cut cooked meat and put them on the table, and said: "You two are drinking wine first, and there are also dishes being prepared."

The man in black clothes glanced at the landlady and said, "Beauty, come and have a few drinks with us two."

On weekdays, there will always be customers who make such requests, and the landlady has her own way of dealing with them. The most common thing is to come up and offer a glass of wine.

But today, he responded readily, walked up to the table with a smile, and poured three glasses of wine.

"I would like to propose a toast to you two gentlemen."

"Hahaha, the boss lady is really a wonderful person!"

Another man in a gray short coat laughed heartily a few times, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, Zuo Qianhu frowned and glanced at the landlady, his expression obviously not good-looking.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Brother Zuo and the tavern proprietress... are we old acquaintances?"

Zuo Qianhu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Her name is Ajin, she is the wife of a friend of mine."

"Oh? So this pub is run by your friend?"

Zuo Qianhu shook his head: "He is no longer alive..."

This time, Ding Xiu did not ask further questions.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Qianhu took the initiative to explain: "That friend was my childhood friend. We were both military households, and we later joined the army together.

A few years ago, he unfortunately died in battle... Before he died, he held my hand and asked me to say sorry for Ah Jin, saying that he was not lucky enough to spend his whole life with Ah Jin..."

When he said this, Zuo Qianhu didn't say anything further, but Ding Xiu guessed what happened next.

Although he didn't know if Zuo Qianhu had known A Jin before, but judging from the current situation, perhaps Zuo Qianhu had fallen in love with A Jin.

Ah Jin also liked him, otherwise he wouldn't have shown a resentful look.

Perhaps there was a hurdle in Zuo Qianhu's heart that he couldn't overcome. He cared about brotherhood, so he didn't dare to face A Jin's feelings.

The advent of what love is……

On the other side, Ah Jin didn't know whether it was intentional or not. He was drinking with the two men and chatting happily with them, letting out a sweet laugh from time to time.

Perhaps because of this, the two guys were distracted. The guy in black clothes started to say some explicit words, and even started to dishonestly try to reach into Ah Jin's clothes with one hand.

Fortunately, Ah Jin just wanted to make Qianhu angry, so he wouldn't really be taken advantage of by these two guys.

When he saw that the other party had gone too far, he stood up in time and said: "Okay, you two drink slowly, I have to go and greet other guests."

Unexpectedly, the man in black looked very angry, slammed the table and shouted: "There are only a few people in this shop, who are you greeting? Sit down and drink with us two brothers."

Ah Jin subconsciously glanced at Zuo Qianhu, still smiling: "You two gentlemen, I really can't drink anymore. I'm really sorry."

Having said this, he turned around to leave.

As a result, the man in the short coat reached over and pulled her skirt. A Jin was not careful and almost fell to the ground.

"presumptuous!"

Zuo Qianhu finally couldn't bear it anymore and strode forward.

Ding Xiu picked up the wine glass and took a slow sip, waiting to watch the show.

Seeing Zuo Qianhu coming over, Ah Jin's eyes turned red and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

How could she think of humiliating herself like this?
Isn't it just to anger this enemy?
Speaking of which, she had known Zuo Qianhu earlier than Zuo Qianhu's Fa Xiao, but by some mistake, she ended up marrying Zuo Qianhu's Fa Xiao.

When she learned that her husband had died on the battlefield, she was devastated and even wanted to commit suicide for a time.

After all, the husband is the breadwinner of the family.

Fortunately, Zuo Qianhu was a loyal person. He got a lot of charity money for the hair boy, secretly added some more himself, and encouraged A Jin to renovate his house and turn it into a tavern.

Although the location is a bit out of the way, you don’t have to pay rent for your own house and life is convenient.

At the beginning, some scoundrels and gangsters bullied A Jin because she was a widow. They either deliberately defaulted on the wine debt, or deliberately teased or even touched her.

Fortunately, Zuo Qianhu secretly helped, and the tavern finally stabilized. Although it didn't make much money, it was more than enough to support the family.

A few years passed before she knew it, and Ah Jin's heart had already begun to stir. In fact, she could see that Zuo Qianhu was not without feelings for her.

It's just that he's escaping.

And Ah Jin was too embarrassed to take the initiative to speak about such a thing. Besides, she was afraid that after she took the initiative to express her feelings, Zuo Qianhu would simply hide from her.

Therefore, the two of them kept procrastinating.

It's obvious that both of them know each other's thoughts, but they just can't untie that knot.

"Hey, who are you?"

Seeing someone standing up for Ah Jin, the two men couldn't help but look ferocious, and shouted at Zuo Qianhu in unison.

The man in black opened his robe intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a knife at his waist.

The implication is, you kid, drink your wine and stop meddling in the uncle’s business.

Zuo Qianhu was too lazy to answer the other party and said to Ah Jin: "Go and do your business and ignore them."

Ah Jin said angrily: "You don't have to worry about my affairs."

Unexpectedly, when the other party heard this, they became even more complacent. One of them raised his finger and pointed at the tip of Zuo Qianhu's nose and shouted: "Did you hear that? My beauty asked you to mind your own business."

"You know better, get out of here, otherwise don't blame me for having no eyesight."

Zuo Qianhu glanced at the other party and said coldly: "You want to try it?"

"Hoho? Damn it, do you dare to pretend to be a hero in front of me?"

The man in black cursed and punched Zuo Qianhu hard in the face.

"Bang!" A dull voice sounded in the store.

Zuo Qianhu did not dodge, but also waved his fist and punched the opponent forcefully.

"what……"

There was another scream like a slaughtering pig in the store.

I saw the man take a few steps back, put his hand in front of his abdomen, and pressed hard with the other hand. He bent his waist, his face was pale, and his head was covered with big beads of sweat. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

The other man looked shocked, and then roared angrily: "You're looking for death!"

While he was talking, he actually pulled out his sword and struck him with one blow.

Ah Jin couldn't help but turn pale, and rushed towards Zuo Qianhu, shouting at the same time: "Be careful!"

"boom!"

Her worries were completely unnecessary.

Zuo Qianhu turned to one side and kicked the guy away.

Then with a sullen face, he shouted at Ah Jin: "Can you please stop making trouble?"

Ah Jin cried, "Don't you understand why I'm making trouble?"

"I……"

Zuo Qianhu didn't know how to answer the call.

At this time, Ding Xiu finally stepped forward, pointed at the two guys and said, "Master Zuo, put aside your children's personal affairs for now, and arrest these two guys first. They are wanted criminals by the court."

"What?" Zuo Qianhu was surprised.

At this moment, the two guys struggled to their feet and rushed towards the door, obviously guilty of committing crimes.

In fact, Ding Xiu did not know these two people.

The only reason to blame is that these two guys whispered a few words in a low voice at the beginning. Although it was very quiet, it could not be hidden from Ding Xiu's ears.

"Want to escape?"

Zuo Qianhu grabbed a long bench and threw it at it. At the same time, he rushed to the door like a whirlwind and kicked the man in short coat away again.

These two guys are indeed great thieves. They have good qinggong and are good at disguise. It is really difficult for ordinary officials to catch them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be drinking in the capital so arrogantly.

Unfortunately, they were not lucky enough to meet Ding Xiu and Zuo Qianhu drinking here.

It can only be said that the skynet is restored, and it is sparse but not leaking.

Later, Zuo Qianhu carried the two guys out of the tavern like chickens, preparing to hand them over to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling the streets.

The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division is the yamen responsible for patrolling thieves in the capital, hunting down fugitives, banning fires, etc. In short, it is responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital.

After Zuo Qianhu left, Ding Xiu greeted Ah Jin, whose eyes were red, and asked her to sit down at the table.

"Before, I heard Brother Zuo briefly talk about what happened between you two...Based on my intuition, you two actually have feelings for each other..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Jin seemed a little shy, but his eyes were bright and he asked excitedly: "Did he say anything to you?"

Ding Xiu smiled and shook his head: "Actually, this is the first time that Brother Zuo and I have met alone. Before, I was a little confused as to why we met here for a drink. It wasn't until he came in that I realized it."

"Oh, I see……"

"Before, Brother Zuo briefly talked about what happened between you two. I think maybe it's because he can't untie the knot in his heart. He is indeed a bit old-fashioned."

Ah Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are right, he is just a piece of wood..."

"No!" Ding Xiu shook his head: "Actually, I think he may care more than you, but he thinks more than you."

Ah Jin sighed: "Maybe, the more a person thinks about it, the more hesitant he becomes. I'm just an ordinary woman, I don't have that many ideas.

I feel that as long as I can spend a lifetime with the person I love, even if I am a little poorer, it is better than having good food and clothing. "

Ding Xiu couldn't help but smile and said: "You are quite thoughtful, but for most people, this is indeed a dream.

In fact, many people do not expect much wealth. They just want peace and a happy life as a family. "

"Yes, this is indeed the life that many ordinary people look forward to. As a woman, I don't have as many ambitions as you men. I just want a stable life."

"But Ah Jin, you have to understand that if there are not such passionate men fighting on the battlefield and killing foreign enemies, how can the people be safe?"

The two chatted for a while, and Zuo Qianhu came back.

"Is it done?"

Zuo Qianhu nodded: "Well, leave it to the brothers who patrol the streets."

While talking, he sat down and glanced at A Jin subconsciously.

"You two, let's talk." Ah Jin stood up and wanted to leave.

At this time, Ding Xiu smiled and said, "I wonder if drinking is allowed in the yard?"

Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, then responded: "There is only a small patio in the back, but it is still okay to set up a small table."

"Brother Zuo, how about we go to the backyard and drink slowly?"

Zuo Qianhu seemed to have some suspicion, looked at Ding Xiu, then smiled and said: "That's fine, the backyard is quiet, let's just get drunk today!"

So, Xiao Heizi quickly moved a small table to the small patio at the back and brought the food and wine over.

Ah Jin also came over and filled the two of them with wine.

Ding Xiu knew it well and smiled at Ah Jin: "Why don't you sit down and have a couple of drinks too."

Hearing this, Ah Jin couldn't help but glance towards Zuo Qianhu.

"Ahem..." Zuo Qianhu coughed dryly and said to A Jin: "Since Brother Ding invites you, please sit down and have a drink."

Ah Jin smiled brightly, sat down with a look of joy on his face, poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the glass and said, "I would like to propose a glass to you two."

After a few glasses of wine, Ding Xiu said to Zuo Qianhu: "Before, Ah Jin briefly talked about the situation between you and her.

I think that since we are in love with each other, why should we care about worldly opinions?
Brother Zuo, you are not married, and Ah Jin's filial piety period has long expired. If you care about Ah Jin, you should give her a happy life, instead of suffering each other like now..."

After some enlightenment from Ding Xiu, Zuo Qianhu's knot in his heart was slowly untied.

In fact, many things are clear to bystanders and confusing to the authorities. Once the fog is cleared, everything will be easily solved.

Seeing Ai Lang's attitude softening, Ah Jin was naturally extremely excited and offered Ding Xiu three glasses of wine.

Then, his big watery eyes glanced at Zuo Qianhu subconsciously, with a rosy face, like a girl who had just fallen in love.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing such a situation, Ding Xiu was also very happy. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Come here, I would like to toast you two. I wish you two to come and get married as soon as possible. Don't forget to invite me to drink a few glasses of wedding wine when the time comes."

Before Zuo Qianhu could say anything, Ah Jin quickly picked up the wine glass and said, fearing that the guy would regret it, "I'm sure... Hey, Mu Mu, what are you doing standing still? Let's toast Master Ding together."

Zuo Qianhu smiled helplessly and finally picked up the wine glass.

This also meant that he acquiesced to Ding Xiu's statement.

Of course, Ah Jin was the happiest, drinking one cup after another until he got drunk...
