The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Scruples

Hua Ruiming joked: "Miss Shi San changed her name to Shi Yamei for Qingyan. Knowing that we in Qingyan love plum blossoms, our names must contain the word "mei". What an obvious thought. Right, Qingyan."

At the mention of his name, Li Cheng laughed so hard that he fell on the table and it took him a while to straighten up.

He said intermittently: "This, this is true. It is said that Miss Shi San wanted to change her name to Shi Shuying at first. Hahaha... This name is the same as Qingyan's yard... In the end, she was chosen by her elder brother Shi Shuying. It was corrected after being forced to do so.”

　　Shi Shangshu's wife, Ping, gave birth to seven children for him. Only Shi San, the third oldest, was a daughter, and the other six were all sons.

Shi Yamei's original name was Shi Hexin. Both Shangshu Shi and Mrs. Ping were slaves to their daughters, and her six brothers doted on her.

Miss Su San has been favored by thousands of people throughout her life in the Su Mansion, and she is truly the apple of her eye.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the 14th year of Changping, during the New Year's Eve banquet at the British Duke's Mansion, Miss Shi San accompanied Mrs. Ping to the Duke's Mansion for the banquet.

Being fascinated by Lu Ziqin who was following Lu Dingning to receive guests, she couldn't take her eyes away. After returning from the Duke's Mansion, Miss Shi San began to inquire about Lu Ziqin's preferences.

Knowing that Lu Ziqin liked plum blossoms, Miss Shi San cut down the peach trees in her garden and planted them into plum trees.

Any object that Lu Ziqin has used, Miss Shi San will always try her best to get the same model and put it in her yard.

  Shi Shangshu and Mrs. Ping both came from martial arts backgrounds and were always informal in their discipline of their children. As long as the children did not touch their bottom line, they would never interfere.

In Mrs. Ping's eyes, her daughter's behavior is just a reflection of her younger daughter's temperament, which will fade away in a few years.

 After all, what boy is not passionate? What girl is not pregnant? She also came from her youth.

Therefore, Mrs. Ping always turned a blind eye to Miss Shi San's mischievous behavior. She pretended not to know many things and let her daughter do whatever she wanted.

Miss Shi San found out that the courtyard where Lu Ziqin lived was called Shuying, and she insisted on changing her name to Shi Shuying.

Shi He, the eldest son of Shangshu Shi, really couldn't stand it and took Miss Shi San under guard to prevent her from acting recklessly.

Miss Shi San made a fuss in the house, but Mr. Shi did not give in. Miss Shi San couldn't resist her eldest brother, so she had to settle for the next best thing and demanded that her name must contain the word plum in her name, otherwise she would not be able to eat or drink.

Brother Shi couldn't bear to see his sister go on a hunger strike and harm herself, so he had no choice but to agree.

 So, Miss Shi San successfully changed her name to Shi Yamei.

This incident spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the capital, making many people stunned.

 For a time, rumors spread that Miss Shi San was interested in the British Duke Liu Lang.

For this reason, Lu Ziqin took a detour when he saw Miss Shi San. Unless absolutely necessary, I would never go to anyone's house for a banquet.

 Mrs. Ye teased Lu Ziqin because of this and asked if he wanted to go to Shi Mansion to propose marriage?

Lu Ziqin would like to ask Mrs. Ye not to cause trouble.

Of course, Mrs. Ye is not the only one who makes fun of Lu Ziqin. The young people in front of her are always happy when they talk about it.

 After the fifth prince laughed for a while, he calmed down and asked, "Ziqin, how are you?"

Lu Ziqin raised his head and looked at the fifth prince and said, "The fifth prince has been very free recently? How about I go to the palace tomorrow to report to the emperor? I recently read the general history of the previous dynasty and thought this book was very good..."

The fifth prince waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously: "Come on, come on. Ziqin, you are so boring. If you are celebrating the New Year, why should you read the general history of the previous dynasties!"

 What we just said, we just said casually, we shouldn't take it seriously. Okay, this matter has been overturned. It has been overturned. None of you can mention it again. I will be in trouble with anyone who mentions it. "

 The fifth prince has spoken, and the others will naturally obey.

Jiang Huanzhi smiled and said, "It's rare for Ziqin to come out. Come on, let's play a game?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Okay!"

Jiang Huanzhi stood up and walked to the chess table, followed by Lu Ziqin.

Hua Ruiming pulled down the corner of his mouth in disgust and said, "You two are playing chess, what should we do?"

 The fifth prince stood up and said, "When these two meet, they play chess, which is very boring. Come on, let's go play hut."

Li Cheng stood up and the three of them went to throw pots.

 Lv Ziqin played a game of chess with Li Cheng, had lunch at Renhe Store, and drank two cups of tea. Chengyun came in and reminded, "Sir, it's almost time."

A few people saw off the fifth prince first, and then left.

When Lu Ziqin boarded the car, Hua Ruiming asked, "Ziqin, will you return to the Duke's residence tomorrow?"

Jiang Huanzhi kicked Hua Ruiming and scolded with a smile: "You guy, how poor are you? How much money do you need?"

Seeing Jiang Huanzhi's kick, Hua Ruiming hurriedly stepped aside and replied with a smile: "It's not like you don't know that I never have enough money to spend. There is a way to make money, why don't you take advantage of it?" Make some money?”

Jiang Huanzhi shook his head speechlessly, "If you go to Qunfang Tower a few times, the money will be enough."

Hua Ruiming didn't take it seriously and retorted: "How do you understand the joy of a spring night? It's just a few dollars, it's worth it! How about you come with me to experience it?"

Jiang Huanzhi was too lazy to pay attention to Hua Ruiming, so he reached out and took the reins from the boy's hand, "No, I am not very lucky, so I can't enjoy your blessing."

Hua Ruiming laughed and said: "Huanzhi, what about that, you can't do it, right? By the way, it seems you haven't married yet..."

Jiang Huanzhi was not angry either. He got on his horse and said, "Whether I can do it or not, don't worry about Wende. As for Wende, it's better to take it easy. After all, the day is long, so don't let it go wrong!"

 After saying that, Jiang Huanzhi cupped his hands to Lu Ziqin in the carriage and said, "Qingyan, goodbye."

 Lv Ziqin returned the greeting with his hands raised: "Goodbye."

Jiang Huanzhi turned to Li Cheng and said, "Let's go."

Li Cheng cupped his hands towards Lu Ziqin and said, "Qingyan, see you later."

 “Goodbye!” Lu Ziqin cupped his hands.

Lu Ziqin lowered the curtain and ordered: "Go back."

Hua Ruiming stood on the side and asked hurriedly: "Qingyan, you haven't replied to me yet, will you reply tomorrow?"

 Lv Ziqin said calmly: "Go back!"

Hua Ruiming smiled at Lu Ziqin's carriage and said, "Qingyan, we are brothers enough!"

After saying that, Hua Ruiming turned around and boarded the carriage and ordered: "Go to Qunfang Tower, no, Ruyi Tower is closer, so go to Ruyi Tower first."

 He has to buy all the teahouses and restaurants at the beginning and take advantage of the opportunity to earn more money.

Lu Ziqin returned to Chengguo Duke's Mansion. Ruji had already returned and reported all the information from the investigation one by one.

 At the end, he said: "The young man has little talent and little knowledge, and he failed to find out the medicine that the other party added."

Lu Ziqin said: "It's okay, let's go down."

"Sir, the third lady is here." Ruxuan came in and reported.

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Okay, please come in Ming Jin."

Ruxuan stepped back, and after a while, Ye Mingjin came in with his maid Hong'er.

After the two parties met, Lu Ziqin asked Ye Mingjin to sit down in the reception area and poured him tea with his own hands. Asked: "Why are Jin'er here? Are you looking for Brother Sixth?"

Ye Mingjin looked at Lu Ziqin and asked in a low voice: "Will brother Ziqin return to the British government tomorrow?"

Lu Ziqin paused his hand and asked, "What? Did you also let people place bets?"

Ye Mingjin avoided looking at Lu Ziqin, and said with a guilty conscience: "Brother Ziqin knows about the bet?"

Lu Ziqin's face darkened and he asked, "How do you know these things when you are at home all day long?"

Seeing Lu Ziqin's face, Ye Mingjin lowered his head and whispered: "In the past two years, every time we have a New Year's dinner, someone starts the game. I know what's so strange about it?"

Lu Ziqin was dumbfounded and asked: "Ming Jin is short of money?" After saying that, Lu Ziqin took out a stack of banknotes and put them in front of Ye Mingjin, "Well, you can accept these banknotes."

Ye Mingjin shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, I'm at home all day long. I have food and clothing at home, so I can't spend any money.

I can't even spend all the monthly allowance, so there will be no shortage of money. Well, I thought it was fun to place bets, so I asked Hong'er to place bets. "

 “Huh? Have you asked Hong'er to place a bet?” Lu Ziqin asked.

Ye Mingjin hurriedly corrected him: "It's not this year. I haven't placed any bets this year. I placed them in previous years."

“In previous years? When did you start playing?” Lu Ziqin asked.

Ye Mingjin was annoyed that she had spilled the beans. She raised her head and looked at Lu Ziqin nervously. When she saw Lu Ziqin staring at her, she quickly looked away. He whispered: "It hasn't been a few years, it just started last year. I heard from cousin Shu that I went to buy last year's New Year wine. Hehe, those people are so stupid. Brother Ziqin is not even in the capital, and he still dares to start. "

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Mingjin who was giggling, and raised his hand to give her a chestnut, "You are still laughing, why don't you learn to be good, but learn to gamble?"

Ye Mingjin raised his hands to cover his head and muttered in a low voice: "Grandpa said gambling is a good way to make people happy."

Lu Ziqin looked at Ye Mingjin in shock and asked, "Does grandpa also know about this?"

Ye Mingjin said: "Of course, my grandfather gave me the money for my bet. If I win, I will give half of the money to my grandfather."

Lu Ziqin was speechless and asked: "Do you want me to give you money to bet like my grandfather?"

Ye Mingjin shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, I have money. Brother Ziqin just needs to tell me whether you will return to the British government tomorrow or not."

Lv Ziqin rolled his eyes at Ye Mingjin and said, "During your filial piety period, just stay at home with me. Go back and copy the ten-sided scripture."

Ye Mingjin didn't find out about Xin'er and was punished, so he had to go back to the backyard in despair.

After leaving Zizhuxuan, Ye Mingjin told Hong'er: "Go to Qian's Mansion and tell Cousin Shu that Brother Ziqin will come back."

Hong'er asked in surprise: "Sixth Master didn't say he would come back? How did the young lady know?"

Ye Mingjin said: "You guessed it, I went back to copy the scriptures, you go back quickly. If the concierge asks, just say you went to Qian Mansion to help me get some patterns."

"Oh? Okay, I understand." Hong'er bowed her knees and responded.

After Ye Mingjin left, Lu Ziqin said to Ruxuan: "You go and prepare some New Year's gifts. We will go to Ci'en Temple later to ask Master Minghui for a cup of tea. By the way, we will arrange the incense ceremony on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Be low-key and let's leave through the back door. ”

Ruxuan leaned over and asked, "Sir, how long will it take?"

 Lv Ziqin replied: "Please apply for the final certificate!"

Ru Yan came in and reported: "Sir, the Duke of Guo has sent someone to convey a message, asking me to go back and have breakfast with the Duke of Guo tomorrow morning."

Lu Ziqin sighed. He wanted to avoid it, but it was still a step too late. "I know, I will go back on time."

 Rumo quit and replied.

Ruxuan stood on the side and asked: "Sir, are you still going to Ci'en Temple?"

Lu Ziqin thought for a while and said: "According to the plan, we will return to the British Government from Ci'en Temple tomorrow morning."

 Ruxuan bowed and responded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

Hua Xu was sitting at the top of the Hua Mansion, looking at Deng Jiayu in the center of the room, where his limbs were twitching and curled up in pain. His face was full of horror. He raised his hand and ordered: "Carry it down."

 Two servants came in and dragged Deng Jiayu out.

Hua Xu said to Dr. Hu, "Thank you, Dr. Hu."

Physician Hu bowed and said, "I'll do my best! I'm going down first."

Hua Xu nodded and ordered people to serve Dr. Hu well.

After Dr. Hu left, Hua Xu looked at Chen Song and asked in panic: "Isn't he like this a useless person?"

Chen Song held the tea cup tightly and said in a deep voice: "It's almost the same. If you don't use force, it's no different from ordinary people. Once you use force, it will look like this."

Hua Xu thought about Deng Jiayu's painful appearance and trembled with lingering fear. She looked at Chen Liang and asked, "How long will it take for him to recover like this?"

Chen Liang leaned over and replied: "It will take three days to lie down to recover. Within three days, my limbs will be as weak as when I was first poisoned."

Hua Xu walked around the room, pinching his chin worriedly, and murmuring as he walked: "When will Hua Zhe use poison or is there someone with poison around him? This person must not be kept! We haven't found out his identity yet. Traces?"

Chen Song shook his head and said: "I received a reply from the south this morning. Hua Zhe has not returned to his old house. Where can he escape with a group of wounded people?"

Hua Xu walked to the desk, stopped, suddenly thought of something, slammed the table, and said loudly: "Let the Guiyun Pavilion everywhere conduct a thorough investigation. Even if they search all over Daxing, they must find the person."

Chen Song nodded knowingly, "Yes, if we don't get rid of this person, there will be endless troubles. Pass the order and have Huang Xiao, Su Min and others be investigated strictly."

After listening to Chen Song's words, Hua Xu pursed his lips. He really understood himself and nodded: "Yes, let everyone investigate Huang Xiao and Su Min. If there is resistance, form a formation on the spot."

After Chen Liang stepped back, Hua Xu said with a smile: "These two people who changed their names have been hiding for ten years. Unexpectedly, it finally made it easier for us. If the name is changed well, we can find any excuse to attack."

Chen Song was not as cheerful as Hua Xu, and said thoughtfully: "Deng Jiayu can fall into his hands, we can't take it lightly."

Hua Xu waved his hand indifferently, "Because of his identity, I couldn't check him without restraint in the Long Shadow Guard.

You also know that even if ten years have passed, some people's hearts have not returned.

Since he is not Hua Zhe or Su Jie, then what should I have to worry about?

I don't believe that there is such a big Dragon Shadow Guard with as many masters as clouds. I can't do anything to them? "

Chen Song thought about it and said, "Let people check first and find out their whereabouts."

The servant came in and reported: "Sir, my wife sent Banqin beside me to ask, will you go to the New Year's Eve banquet held by the British government tomorrow? If you want to go, have the gifts been prepared? Do you need your wife to prepare it for you?" "

Hua Xu looked at Chen Song and said, "We have wine every year, so we can socialize and socialize. It's not too annoying."

Chen Song said calmly: "Yes, such an occasion is not as relaxing as going to court. But you have to go when you have to, right?"

Hua Xu sighed and said helplessly to the servant: "Tell Madam that I will go. As for the gifts, Madam will have to worry about it."
