Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 635: The Child Has Something on His Mind [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 36k more]

"Liu Lang, have some tea."

Xu Zaijing stretched out his hand and smiled.

Liang Han nodded, looked at the huge sword placed in the room, picked up the teacup and started drinking.

After taking a sip of tea, Liang Han nodded with his eyes lighting up. When he was about to say something, the cotton curtain at the door was lifted.

Qingyun stepped into the house, glanced at Qingcao standing next to Xu Zaijing, and said with a bow, "Sir, there was a message from the front yard that the Yu family sent someone back."

"Okay! Let's go and take a look."

As Xu Zaijing spoke, he looked at Qingcao who looked a little nervous.

"Let's go!" Liang Han stood up and said with a smile.

Putting on cloaks to keep warm and holding hand warmers, everyone left the house together.
Walking on the way to the front yard,
Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Liu Lang, why did you think of sending the person to Brother Yu first?"

Liang Han raised his chin proudly and said, "Brother Jing, I have been in Bianjing for so long, and I have heard and seen a lot of things!"

"Who knows if that guy is a fake for profit? Let him go to Doctor Xiao Yu for a visit. It would be more appropriate anyway."

Xu Zaijing nodded: "Brother Yu has been an arrest envoy and has superb medical skills. Liu Lang is interested!"

Hearing this,

Liang Han smiled and cupped his hands.

After passing through the corridor and the door, everyone arrived at the main hall in the front yard.

inside the house,

Xu Zaijing looked at Yu Huguang, who was smiling triumphantly, and handed the hand warmer to Qingyun, bowing and smiling, "Brother Yu, thank you for your help today!"

Yu Huguang smiled and said in a serious tone, "Wulang, if you keep talking like this, don't come to me if you have any problems in the future!"

Xu Zaijing quickly smiled and said, "I won't dare to do that next time."

"Hahaha!"

As the two were talking, Liang Han, who was standing beside them, bowed and called someone.

Then, Xu Zaijing looked back at the green grass and then at Yu Huguang.

Yu Huguang's smile faded slightly, and he nodded gently, saying, "Don't worry, Wulang. When I examined the young man's pulse, I deliberately asked a few questions, and there was no sign of him lying."

Glancing at Qingcao, Yu Huguang's mouth twitched and he said, "She looks a bit like this girl."

"Okay, that's the best!" Xu Zaijing nodded repeatedly and said, "Green grass."

"Ah?" Qingcao was stunned.

"Let's go and take a look at the next room!" Xu Zaijing said with a smile.

"Yes, son!"

Qingcao bowed, then bowed to Liang Han and Yu Huguang, and walked towards the courtyard outside the hall.

When the grass leaves the house,
The smile on Yu Huguang's face disappeared, and he looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Wu Lang, I see that kid has something on his mind."

Xu Zaijing was stunned, and looked at Yu Huguang in surprise and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Yu, you are this!"

"What's the matter, Goro, do you know?"

"Brother Yu, I know."

Seeing Liang Han's curious look, Xu Zaijing shook his head and said, "Liu Lang, this is a personal matter. I can't say it out loud."

Liang Han raised his eyebrows with a hint of regret.

In the courtyard room,
The bright sunlight at noon shines through the window paper, making the room very bright.

There was a brazier in the middle of the room. The charcoal in the brazier was not much burning, and it was obvious that it had not been lit for very long.

Perhaps because he drank the medicine, the boy looked much better than in the morning. He stared at the patterns engraved on the brazier in a trance, and his thoughts went back to the time when his sister left home more than ten years ago.

"Sister, don't go!"

"Sister, I won't be naughty anymore, don't leave!"

"Mother, brother, I will be obedient. Please don't sell me out!"

The boy's memory of his sister is still him grabbing her sleeves and crying heart-wrenchingly.

Even though I tasted the snot from crying and my throat was sore for many days, I couldn't get my sister to stay.

"Crack."

There were footsteps outside the door.

Hearing the noise, the young boy Yuan Feixing looked up towards the door. Looking at the figure on the window paper at the door, his eyes were filled with a complex expression of nervousness and anticipation.

outside the house,

Qingcao wanted to push the door open, but his hand stopped in front of the door, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Looking back at the hall of the Xu family behind him, Qingcao took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed the door in front of him hard.

"Squeak!"

The door was opened.

Looking at the boy sitting on the chair, Qingcao's eyes were a little strange at first. After looking carefully at the boy's eyebrows, the boy's appearance gradually overlapped with the crying child in his memory.

And the look Yuan Feixing gave his sister was more of a strange one, after all, girls change a lot when they grow up.

The sister in his memory was still a dark and thin girl not much taller than him.

But now, his sister is more than a head taller than him!

Her appearance and temperament made him unable to recognize her.

Before in Xiaoliangshan, there was a wealthy man in the county who claimed to be a relative of Xiaxue's sister from the same village as Wei's family. He helped them adopt a son and gave them a lot of silver and money.

Yuan Feixing had once seen the eldest daughter of that wealthy family in the crowd.

He originally thought that the clothes and jewelry worn by the eldest daughter of that wealthy family were luxurious enough. But today, even though he didn't understand, he could tell at a glance that those clothes and jewelry could not compare with those of the sister in front of him.

I heard from my mother and my brother and his wife that my sister works as a maid in a wealthy family, but why does she look more pampered than the legitimate daughter?

Looking at the dazed boy in front of him, Qingcao said softly, "Little brother."

"sister"

After the brother and sister looked at each other, the closeness of their blood relationship gradually dissipated the years of strangeness between them.

"You've grown so tall!" Qingcao said with a smile, but as she smiled, tears appeared in her eyes for some reason.

The young man on the chair wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said with a smile: "Sister, you look so beautiful now! Like, like a fairy!"

Qingcao smiled with tears in her eyes.

As he spoke, the young man was about to stand up from the chair, but when he was halfway up, he sat back down weakly.

Seeing this, Qingcao hurriedly stepped forward, and with concern in his eyes, he pressed his brother down on the chair: "Don't move! Let me take a good look at you!"

"Oh!" The young man nodded in response.

After looking at the green grass around him, the boy smiled and said, "Sister, my mother said before that when she was young, she was the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. I didn't believe it before and thought it was just nonsense."

"Now that I see you, I know what my mother said is true!"

Hearing this, Qingcao smiled.

After looking at his brother for a moment, Qingcao's smile disappeared. Looking at the weak look of the boy, he said distressedly: "You must have suffered a lot along the way?"

The young man pursed his lips and said, "It's not bad. It's mainly because my travel expenses were stolen by a thief. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known."

The pain in Qingcao's eyes gradually disappeared. He tapped his brother's forehead angrily and said, "You are really capable! You dare to leave without saying goodbye and come all the way from your hometown to Bianjing!"

"If something happens to you on the way, what will I, my mother, my brother and his wife do?" The young man lowered his head and said, "Sister, my marriage has been arranged, but he eloped with someone else! How can I stay in the village with dignity?"

"If I don't leave the village, will those people point fingers at me and make fun of me?"

Qingcao took a deep breath and said, "She was betrothed to be a wife and she ran away to be a concubine! The marriage has been decided. What does it have to do with you if she ran away? It is their family that is embarrassed! If she ran away, we can just find another one!"

The young man looked at the brazier in the house and whispered, "But! But there are always people who say that I am incompetent and cannot compare to the people in that family!"

After a moment's silence, Qingcao said, "Take good care of yourself, and go home as soon as you are well!"

The young man turned sideways, frowned, and said weakly: "I'm not going back!"

"Now that my sister-in-law is the housekeeper, I am redundant at home! Why don't I come to Bian Jing to join you, sister, and earn money by myself!" the young man continued.

Looking at his sister who was shaking her head, the young man frowned and said, "Sister, if you don't agree, I will go find the Sixth Master Liang who saved me. I will not stay in Bianjing anymore and I will join the army!"

"You! Why did you cry and shout to be obedient and not be naughty when I left that year?" Qingcao asked.

"No matter what you say, I won't go back!"

Just as Qingcao was about to continue talking, Huaxiang, carrying a tray, came into the room, looked at the siblings in the room, and said with a smile, "It's time to eat."

"Where is the young master?" Qingcao asked.

"Young Master and Liang Jia Liulang went out to eat together." Hua Xiang said, looking at Qingcao and Yuan Feixing, and said, "As expected, they are siblings. They look so alike!"

Looking at Hua Xiang who came into the room, Yuan Feixing smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

After putting down the tray, Hua Xiang said a few more words to Qing Cao before leaving.

Qingcao and her brother sat at the table in the room. Looking at the food on the table, Qingcao handed the chopsticks to Yuan Feixing and said, "Eat."

"Oh! Sniff! This rice porridge smells so good!" Yuan Feixing said with a smile.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Yuan Feixing said with a proud look on his face: "Sister, I have to say that your brother is lucky! First, I fainted and was rescued from the wild roadside to the city wall, and then someone sent me broth after I woke up, otherwise..."

"Snapped."

The chopsticks in Qingcao's hand were slammed heavily on the table.

Yuan Feixing immediately stopped talking and said hesitantly: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Qingcao frowned and said with his chest heaving, "You are lucky? Do you know why people saved you under the city wall?"

"Uh, be kind."

"Yes, the one who sent you out of the city was kind-hearted! Why did the imperial guards send you meat soup? It was because the young master spent hundreds of strings of silver and invited several imperial guards at the city gates to drink vermicelli, tofu and meat soup for several days!"

"Just to keep an eye on you!"

Looking at his silent brother, Qingcao continued, "If it weren't for these, who would ask you for no reason?"

"If no one had found you outside the city and brought you to the wall, would you still be sitting here talking with me?"

Looking up at his sister with tears in her eyes, Yuan Feixing said in a low voice with a guilty look on his face: "Sister, please stop crying. Isn't it okay if I am wrong?"

"I can earn money to pay back the money Young Master Xu spent!"

Qingcao picked up the chopsticks and said calmly: "Okay! Since you want to stay in Bianjing, then stay! When you are well, I will ask Brother Qingyun to find you a job, and you can slowly pay off your debts first!"

"Oh!"

in the afternoon,

Not far south of Panlou Main Street,
Street side,

There is a vacant branch of a temple.

There was a shed in the courtyard, under which there were donkeys, horses and other livestock, most of whom were eating grass in a wooden trough with their heads down. There were also several flatbed carriages and horse-drawn carriages parked nearby.

A few rickshaw drivers who had no work were sitting on the shafts of their rickshaws, basking in the sun and chatting intermittently.

There are side rooms in the yard, and the sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games can be heard from the rooms from time to time.

A burly man with a red face from drinking lifted the curtain and staggered out.

suddenly,

Amid the sound of horse hooves, two fine horses ran into the yard from outside.

"Xilulu!"

The two fine horses raised their hooves slightly and neighed.

The drunken man leaned against the wall, glared and shouted, "Who are you doing? How dare you rein in your horse in our yard? Do you know where this is?"

Amid the screams, the drivers who were basking in the sun nearby also stood up and walked towards this side.

The knights riding the two fine horses ignored the man and looked towards the house not far away.

"Where is old man Tian Xing?" one of the young knights shouted loudly.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the drunken man, emboldened by the alcohol, immediately walked towards the two knights angrily, cursing, "You thief, I am with you."

Before I finished speaking,

The drunk burly man was pulled aside by the hair by the people behind him.

A young man in brocade came over quickly with his hands folded, and said with a smile, "Young Master, are you the fishing cart of the Sixth Young Master?"

"Mr. Tian Xing has good eyesight. My young master wants to ask you something today." Diao Che did not dismount, but just pulled the reins.

The drunk man who was so aggressive just now sobered up suddenly after hearing the conversation. He swallowed his saliva and shrank aside.

"Young master, if you ask me, I will tell you everything I know!" said Tian Xinglao with a bow, and then looked at Qingyun who was beside the fishing cart.

"Two days ago, a coachman with white hair and beard took the women of the aristocratic Kang family out of the city. I wonder who he is?" Diao Che asked.

Hearing this, the young man who was called the old man but not very old frowned and thought for a moment, then he hesitantly bowed and said, "Young Master, I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

“Hmm?” Diao Che frowned.

"To be honest, the driver is an elder among the villains." The young man bowed.

Diao Che nodded: "Good! Your elder has done what I mentioned to you before."

"Ah?" Not only Tian Xinglao was surprised. The other guys in the ox-cart shop in the yard also started talking to each other.

West Fruit Lane,

The Kang Family Residence,

In the reception hall,

Jin Chui, the lady next to Mrs. Wu, stood up with a smile when she heard the footsteps behind the screen.

Soon, Mrs. Kang, accompanied by a maid, came out from behind the screen.

"Greetings, Madam Wang!" Mother Jin said with a smile and a slight bow.

"You're too polite, Madam Jin. Please take a seat!" said Mrs. Kang with a smile.

Previously, Old Lady Wang took charge and directly dealt with Qi Mama's family around Lady Kang Wang. Now, she is only surrounded by the nanny sent by Old Lady Wang.

"I dare not!" Mother Jin said with a smile, "I came to your house rashly, mainly to thank you, Madam."

Hearing this, Kang Wang said in confusion, "I wonder why Madam Jin said that?"

Mother Jin smiled and said, "I had a distant relative who came to Beijing to seek refuge, but he lost contact on the way! Today I learned that he lost his money on the way and fainted from hunger outside the city."

"Yesterday, when I returned to Beijing, I saw my relative fainted on the roadside. I was kind enough to give him a string of copper coins, which allowed my relative to buy food and survive."

"Oh!" Mrs. Kang nodded with a look of sudden realization.

Afterwards, Kang Wang looked at Jin Mama thoughtfully, and thinking of Jin Mama's host, Madam Wu, she tilted her head and said, "Go, ask Zhao'er's daughter to come to the front hall to meet the guests."
