Chapter 29
Xiaoyao Tea House.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Yuan Liu, Chen Jia came to the teahouse and handed the document to Shi Youyao.
"Is this true?" Shi Youyao looked at the document carefully. She still didn't believe it. "With this document, don't you need to hand over the one thousand two hundred taels of silver?"
"That's natural. With the official seal on it, can it still be faked?" Chen Jia said with a smile, "I said there is always a way. Now, don't worry."
"Thank you very much."
"We are all friends. It's just a matter of effort. There's no need to be so polite," Chen Jia said.
"You are really capable!" Shi Youyao praised, "Then how do you know the people in the government?"
"Me, don't laugh at me. I just often caused trouble. I was caught by the government and thrown into a cell. I was imprisoned for a few days without any major fault. Then, I was released again. Just like that, over and over again.
Once you get acquainted with people in the government, everyone will become friends," Chen Jia said with a proud smile, "Actually, have you noticed that there is nothing wrong with being in jail often, and you can also make friends who are officials.
"
"Then you are great! According to what you said, you can go to the capital to cause trouble next time. In this way, maybe you can get to know the current Holy Emperor." Shi Youyao said deliberately.
"What you said makes sense." When Chen Jia heard this, he knew that she was deliberately sarcastic. "If you didn't say it, I really wouldn't have thought of it."
"Come on, just stay at home. That's it. You've worked hard and helped me a lot. Tomorrow night, when my face is less swollen, I'll treat you to a meal at Zuixian Restaurant.
Come on, let’s say thank you.”
"No need," Chen Jia declined. "I just ran an errand and said a few words. There is no need to be so polite."
"What, do you think the quality of Zuixian Restaurant is too low?" Shi Youyao pretended to be angry and said, "Still you don't want to eat with me?"
"No, no, I don't mean that," Chen Jia said, "Since you are so kind, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
The next evening, Zhongwumen.
Chen Jia found a place to take a shower, changed his clothes, and sprayed a little less perfume on his body. He was making final touches in the mirror when the door opened and Zhen Sifei came in from the outside.
"Eldest brother, why did you dress yourself up so handsomely today?" He looked at Chen Jia carefully and said with a malicious smile, "Eldest brother, I think something is wrong with you today. Are you going to go again?
Have a date?"
"Why, you can see this?" Chen Jia said while combing his hair.
"Elder brother, are you planning to have a tryst with the proprietress of Xiaoyao Tea House?" Zhen Sifei asked a little doubtfully, "How quickly did you get involved?"
Chen Jia did not answer his question, but said: "Sifei, let me ask you a question."
"What's the problem?"
"How do you tell whether a girl has a crush on you?" Chen Jia asked him with a smile, "Tell me about it."
"How do I know this? Let alone a wife, I don't even have a partner."
"You can't judge if you haven't dealt with the subject before?"
"Then I think the most obvious sign is sleeping together. If a woman sleeps with a man, it means she likes that man." Zhen Sifei scratched her head and said.
"Pa" Zhen Sifei was hit hard on the forehead, "Sleep, sleep, sleep! I said why are you so filthy? What are you thinking about in your head all day long? You know what nonsense?
What is emotion?"
"I didn't say anything, but you insisted on letting me say it. I said it, but you hit me," Zhen Sifei covered her head with her hands and muttered in a low voice, "Are you still being unreasonable?"
"Let me tell you, sleeping on the same kang may not necessarily mean true love. The client and the prostitute also sleep together. Is there any love between them?" Chen Jia said, "Telling you this is simply playing the piano to a cow and not getting along.
You're so nagging, go and practice hard, I'm going out."
At night, Zuixian Restaurant.
This restaurant is quite large and is divided into two floors. The first floor is the lobby and the second floor is the private rooms.
Not only is their environment tidy and hygienic, but their service is enthusiastic and economical. Therefore, the restaurant business has always been very good.
The hall on the first floor was filled with several tables of guests.
Chen Jia walked in and saw that Shi Youyao had already arrived and was sitting at a table near the inner wall. She had her back to the door and looked back from time to time.
Chen Jia came to the opposite side of her and sat down with his back against the wall.
Shi Youyao wore a short black jacket with a white velvet collar, a brown skirt, and black leather shoes tonight. Looking at her face, she saw that her face was much less swollen. She lightly painted her eyebrows and applied some light rouge.
, under the light, it looks particularly charming.
At the same time, she exudes a woman's light body fragrance, which is refreshing.
"I'm sorry, there is something that needs to be taken care of in the martial arts school. I'm late." Chen Jia said.
"It's okay, it's not too late, I just arrived," Shi Youyao looked at him and said, "What kind of food do you like?"
"It doesn't matter. I am originally a child from a poor family. As long as I can fill my stomach," Chen Jia said, "Just order two dishes as you see fit. Don't overdo it, as it will be a waste if you can't finish it."
Shi Youyao ordered four dishes, then smiled and said, "Are you, Master Chen, also a child from a poor family?"
"Yes, and you?"
"Me too, maybe my situation is worse than yours," Shi Youyao sighed, "Our family originally came from Changchun County, Changchun Prefecture, Jilin Province, from a rural area. I have an older brother, and my mother had difficulty in giving birth to me.
After his death, my father could not support us two brothers and sisters by himself. At that time, the conditions of his family were slightly better, and our two families were also considered distant relatives. In order to survive, they sent me to their home when I was very young.
I became a child bride. Later, my father also passed away and my brother’s whereabouts were unknown. When I grew up, I would not be happy when I saw how Tai Sui looked when I was sick. However, their family used coercion and inducement, saying that I had spent all my life on them.
My family has a lot of money, and we can't spend it in vain. If we have to lose the money, the amount of money including principal and interest is staggering, and I can't afford to lose it. Later, they forced me to get married to that sick Tai Sui."
"It turns out that you are also a miserable person." Chen Jia said.
"Although he and I are married, until now, we have slept in separate rooms and beds, and there is no real relationship between us as husband and wife. In this regard, Wei Taisui has done quite well.
He never forced me. Several times, I tried to escape, but his brother Wang Yaqiao sent people to capture me. I could never escape. Later, I thought this might be my life, and I planned to just live in confusion.
Forget it for this life." At this point, Shi Youyao's eyes flashed with tears and she felt sad.
"Wang Yaqiao?" Chen Jia asked, "Is he the leader of the Ax Gang in Lingyuan County?"
"Yes."
"Marriage is free, what right does he have to arrest you?" Chen Jia said, "Next time I have a chance, I will meet him."
"You'd better not meet him. He's very powerful and unreasonable."
"Why, are you afraid that I am no match for him?"
"Although I heard that your leg skills are so good that you rarely have any opponents, Wang Yaqiao is also very difficult to mess with." Shi Youyao said, "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured."
"He is not easy to mess with, so am I, Chen Jia, easy to mess with? Except for my brother Zhang Tianhe, I, Chen Jia, have never paid attention to anyone," Chen Jia said with a smile, "You don't have to worry, one day,
I must let him remember it for a long time."
"If you really meet one day, bear with it if you can, and don't fight him unless it's an emergency." Shi Youyao said, "His unique skill, 'Three Life-Chasing Axes,' can be fired continuously by both his left and right hands, and no one can dodge it."
Get by."
By this time, the waiter had already brought all the dishes they had ordered and set the tableware.
Only tea, no wine.
