The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 364
Master Qi blinked his eyes, only felt that his words were very similar to someone, and asked: "What is the name of this doctor Qi Shengtang?"

"This doctor claims to be surnamed Chen, and people call him Doctor Chen. Someone has seen a handwriting written by him, signed by Chen Youjun." Master Jing said.

Master Qi is happy now, and the pores of his whole body are full of joy.Originally, he thought that after bringing his daughter out like this, he would not only cut off the relationship with Gong Xiangru, but also cut off the relationship with Chen Youjun.Unexpectedly, Chen Youjun was so reluctant to chase him here. It was not in vain that he had mentioned to Chen Youjun where his hometown was.

In the teahouse where Master Qi and Master Jing drank tea and chatted, a couple sat across the row of tables.Because of their unremarkable attire, no one could recognize their identities. They only knew their accents, as if they were from other places. Moreover, their eyes seemed to be looking at Master Qi from time to time.Linglong, who was standing beside them, was sweating over the obvious voyeuristic behavior of her master and wife.

It should be said that the Gong family has always been upright in doing such sneaky things, so of course they do it differently.Mrs. Gong hesitated for a while, and said to her master: "I really lost my mind and turned into tofu, so I came here with you."

"What's wrong with coming here?" Gong Hongwen said, with a look of disapproval, "We two rarely go out to play. It's rare that our son and daughter are not here, so we can go out to relax."

Take a break?It's freezing cold, everywhere is ice and snow, standing in the wild and looking at the scenery makes your nose turn red from the cold, no matter how temperamental Mrs. Gong is, it's unbearable.

If the husband hadn't said it, they, as fathers and mothers, would have done very little for their children on weekdays.Especially the son's marriage, if it is delayed again and again, it will be ashamed to face the ancestors.Hearing that Mr. Qi suddenly resigned and returned home, it was obvious that he was avoiding the palace family and their son. After thinking about it, Gong Hongwen decided to go for his son who was not good at words, and find out what Mr. Qi was thinking. That is to say, lead the red line for the son.

Originally, parents don't need to intervene too much, it is enough to let the matchmaker do such a thing.However, this matter does not seem to be that simple. A matchmaker who does not understand the ins and outs of the matter will not be able to explain clearly. Gong Hongwen thought that he could only find an opportunity to talk face-to-face with Master Qi.

Thinking about it again, it's been a long time since I traveled alone with my wife. Qi Town is a famous cultural town, and there are many scholars here. I haven't been an official, but I have produced many famous poets and painters.Gong Hongwen, who also likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, has long been yearned for by the well-known local literati circle in Qizhen.I just took this opportunity to come here to pay a visit.

Mrs. Gong frowned worriedly, worried that if her son knew about their actions, would she dislike them for unnecessary actions, and asked, "Do you think Xiangru really likes the girl from the Qi family?"

"Why don't you like him? He's my son." This is almost every old man's confident mantra, Gong Hongwen swore, "The child of the Qi family often came and went to our house when he was young, and you and I watched her grow up. Even better than our family's Jinxi. I like them all, don't you like them?"

This is obviously not the answer.What's the use of their parents' liking, and it's not the son's own liking.Mrs. Gong is an open-minded parent who doesn't want to restrict her son's freedom of marriage, especially after learning from her daughter's sacrifice for the family, she has always felt guilty.

Gong Hongwen held the teacup to taste the same flower and fruit tea as Mr. Qi drank. He felt that the tea tasted strong, mellow in the mouth, endless aftertaste, but not at all greasy. A line of poem: Thousands of households are fragrant with flowers and fruits, and the shengyu are indiscriminate around the neighbors.

All around were literati, hearing Master Gong's elegant and neat lines, as if he was praising the local customs, they couldn't help but cast their gazes over there.

Madam Gong was frightened, she quickly pulled Gong Hongwen's cuffs and lowered her head together.

Gong Hongwen quickly comforted his wife: It's okay, it's okay.

Their palace family has always lived in seclusion, so they may not be recognized by others.

Seeing that Mr. Qi was with Mr. Jing and others, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged couple who came to Qi Town from other places. After two glances, it seemed that something was familiar, but he couldn't remember the details, so he could only squint his eyes.

When Master Jing was suspicious, he asked him: "Could it be that he is from the capital, so you look familiar?"

"Maybe." Master Qi slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing no comment.

Seeing his appearance, he might not be able to tell the identity of the other party for a while. Master Jing was curious, but he didn't ask him again, but just mentioned another matter to him: "The master of our county government said he wanted to visit you. But I don't know Are you free, ask someone to let me ask you, when is the right time?"

Hearing what he said, Mr. Qi said frankly: "I have retired and returned to my hometown. What is there to visit?"

"You don't know, the master of our county government is young and wants to make a difference. Unfortunately, his family is originally poor. Besides, there are not many officials in our place. He has almost no contacts in the officialdom. He has been an official for a hundred years. To the greatest extent, you are the only one in the capital. If he doesn't look for you, who can he look for?" Master Jing came one by one, "Even if you retire and return home, there are always a few better ones in the capital. Colleagues?"

Master Qi raised his glass and drank depressedly. With his temperament, it cannot be said that he has no friends in Beijing, but Master Jing should also know what kind of friends he can make with this temperament. At most, he can only make some friends with him. Those who are in almost the same situation are all disliked by their bosses, and it is not beneficial to work hard in one position all year round.

What good can the county master do if he finds him?

"It's not that I don't help the county magistrate, it's just that if I can really get along in the capital, how can I sue my old man and return home?"

Hearing Master Qi's words, Master Jing suddenly realized that at Master Qi's age, he was indeed not at the point of being forced to return home. Moreover, when Master Qi came back this time, didn't the rumors spread that Master Qi was killed by the emperor before he came back? Are you looking for a promotion?Master Jing was puzzled: "I heard people say that you have been promoted, and you have been promoted two levels in a row. What's going on? Could it be that His Majesty was promoted secretly?"

I don't hear much about the court's shady scene, but I know that the emperor has many tricks to punish people. Maybe one day he will suddenly be unhappy, or the emperor actually planned it in his heart, and the promotion of a person is actually beaten. The abacus is to cut off the head.

Master Qi waved his hands at Master Jing's words, we can't frame the emperor at will.The emperor really wants to promote other officials, but Mr. Qi lacks interest in the promotion, and has long lost interest in the intrigues in the court.Master Qi said: "I've been pondering over and over again, this life, it's still safe to go back to my hometown. So, you asked me to ask the magistrate to find someone, no matter how I think about it, I think it's doing a lot of harm."
