Chapter 24
Hearing He Lianjun's question, Yu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, her dark eyes staring straight at him.
It was obvious that He Lianjun only asked this question, but Yu Qingzhi realized that it seemed to be related to whether she should leave or stay.
——Only if you want to integrate with him, you will investigate his past. If you are indifferent to his past, you will probably leave.
She pursed her lips, her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and after a long time she said in a gentle voice: "I am willing to stay, but I will not ask about your past. Maybe one day we will be willing to be honest with each other, but it is definitely not now.
"
She did not make a choice, but left the choice to the future.
This answer was beyond He Lianjun's expectation.
"Are you really not curious at all?" He raised his eyebrows with interest in his eyes.
He was very curious about where the Qian Jin Baotai Pill in Yu Qingzhi's hand came from.
Not only the pregnancy-preserving pills, but also the marinade package sold to Hu Lu and the incense recipe given to Wanyue, one by one, if you think about it carefully, they all seem to be unusual.
However, if Yu Qingzhi didn't ask, he didn't ask either.
Amused by his appearance, Yu Qingzhi raised the corners of her lips, "Some secrets have to be dug out by yourself to have fun."
He Lianjun chuckled.
Qingzhi was smarter than he thought, not to mention that he had never concealed his familiarity with Zhu Tianci from Yu Qingzhi.
The huge stone in her heart was resolved by Yu Qingzhi's few words. He Lianjun raised his hand and stroked the hair on her ear, saying: "If you don't ask, I won't ask either. If you want to stay, I will treat you well. Even if you want to leave in the future,
I will also protect you."
"With your words, I won't leave." Yu Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.
In the court today, the person he brought to follow Aunt Li was definitely not found out today. He Lianjun must have been playing this game since he told him that he was being followed.
With someone who cares about her protecting her, why would she leave?
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Yu Qingzhi took the initiative to hold his hand and walked back. The two of them got closer unknowingly, and the vague alienation disappeared without a trace after this analysis of their hearts.
When they came back, they were pretentious and forgot to buy vegetables. Yu Qingzhi had to make a mushroom box with marinated bacon and shiitake mushrooms, and fried a plate of tiger skin tofu.
Just as he was about to put away the pot, Uncle Li heard from Erni about the arrest of Aunt Li and Mrs. Zhou. He tearfully sent some river shrimps over and kept saying his gratitude.
Erni came with him. Erni's eyes turned red when she saw Yu Qingzhi, and she knelt down and cried: "Sister Qingzhi, I'm sorry for you! I helped you find out about the Lu family looking for the embroiderer, but...
...It was leaked out by others, so Mrs. Zhou took advantage of the opportunity and deliberately led you to Mrs. Lu..."
The little girl was crying and out of breath. Yu Qingzhi looked distressed and quickly helped her up, patted the dust on her knees and said: "You don't have to apologize to me, I know this is not your fault, let alone if
Without your help, I would not have made friends like Mrs. Lu, let alone let Acheng enter Shangshan Academy. If we were to reward based on merit, you would still be the benefactor of our He family."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li quickly waved his hands: "My benefactor doesn't dare to think about it. The most important thing is that I didn't cause you any trouble. I just caught these river shrimps. Don't dislike it. Just think of it as an apology."
"I was worried about having no food to cook, and Uncle Li just sent me these shrimps!"
Yu Qingzhi took over the conversation with a smile, fried the river shrimps, and divided some for Uncle Li to take back. Then he put them in a food box with the steamed rice and returned to town with He Lianjun.
She didn't feel much in Qingshui Village and Yujia Village. It wasn't until she went to the town that Yu Qingzhi realized that the place was full of people discussing matters above the court.
A few people recognized her and came forward to say a few auspicious words and comfort her.
These kindnesses from strangers warmed Yu Qingzhi's heart and held He Lianjun's hand tighter.
The Chenshui Incense Shop was closed today, so Yu Qingzhi sent the meal to He Ji Embroidery Shop. From a distance, she saw Zhu Tianci accompanying He Wanyue, patiently explaining to the embroiderers what happened today.
"Boss Zhu is indeed a good person." Yu Qingzhi looked in the direction of Zhu Tianci with a smile.
"It's a pity that my heart is dark." He Lianjun glanced at the girl next to him and clenched his hand.
Sensing He Lianjun's little move, Yu Qingzhi glanced at him, with a smile in her eyes, and teased him: "If you are close to vermillion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be dark. I can't have learned it from you, right?"
After saying that, without waiting for his reply, he sent the food to the store.
There were a few of those embroidery ladies who had second thoughts at first, but now that they saw Mrs. Zhou from the Zhou family embroidery workshop being arrested, they all calmed down because He Ji embroidery shop was more secure.
At this moment, I saw Yu Qingzhi coming to deliver the meal, and they all left knowingly.
Yu Qingzhi handed the rice to He Wanyue, turned around and glanced, not seeing Erni handing over the handkerchief, so she asked He Wanyue.
"I heard that Sister Erni said that she had something to do at home and would not come here anymore. However, she also learned how to make a backpack. I asked Sister Erni to wrap up two taels of silver for her. It was considered the most benevolent thing." He Wanyue served the dishes.
Said aside.
"You are meticulous in your work and your dealings with people are more transparent than mine." Yu Qingzhi praised.
They were serving dishes inside, while Zhu Tianci and He Lianjun were arguing with each other outside. One wanted to stay and eat, while the other bluntly said that there wasn't much food to cook today and asked him to go back and eat.
While he was talking, He Lancheng hurried back and shouted before he even entered the house: "Sister-in-law, sister, it's not good! The backpack you made for me was stolen!"
"How can you be so rude in a panic?" He Lianjun raised his hand and pressed He Lancheng's head, stopping him at the door.
"Brother, you are here too." He Lancheng chuckled, then smelled a scent, and his saliva flowed three feet high. He looked at the room eagerly, "What delicious food did sister-in-law cook today? I don't know, brother, I'm here
I’ve been taking exams all morning in the academy, and now I’m dizzy and hungry!”
He Lancheng looked so pitiful. If He Lianjun didn't let him go, Yu Qingzhi wouldn't be able to spare him, so He Lianjun had no choice but to let him go.
He turned around and faced Zhu Tianci, who also imitated He Lancheng and looked pitiful. This time, before Zhu Tianci could speak, He Lianjun gave him a kick.
"I'll invite you next time."
There was not enough food for their family of four.
Zhu Tianci was not annoyed when he didn't get anything to eat. He smiled and cursed and turned to leave. Hu Lu, who was just a block away, took advantage of the opportunity and gave him a lot of braised pork.
His braised pork was almost the same as Yu Qingzhi's. Even Zhu Tianci couldn't tell the difference after hearing it, but it actually caught the eye of Boss Zhu.
"Shopkeeper Hu is really good at business. If he keeps going like this, he will be able to rent a shop in the alley in less than a year." He Lancheng sat at the table, watched this scene in his eyes, and praised.
Yu Qingzhi took the opportunity to teach: "Although opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, opportunities will never come to you. Only by seizing the opportunity like Shopkeeper Hu can you accomplish great things."
"Sister-in-law is right, Ah Cheng has learned a lesson!" He Lancheng was filled with gratitude, "I just don't know when I will find my backpack, which was made by my sister myself."
"No need to look for it, we have already found that bag." He Wanyue frowned and told him what happened in the courtroom.
As for the backpack, Wen Jinbao stole it while they were taking the exam and gave it to Chief Lu Shan as evidence.
"They are so brave! Do they still have laws and rules in their eyes?" Helan gritted his teeth angrily. If he hadn't been in front of his sister-in-law, he would have almost thrown his chopsticks.
"Fortunately, your elder brother arrived in time and brought them to justice, so you don't have to be too angry. Now no one dares to set foot in Zhoujia embroidery workshop, which can be considered their retribution." Yu Qingzhi saw that his little eyes were red with anger, and hurriedly gave him
He took a piece of tiger skin tofu to comfort him.
He Lancheng took a hard bite of the fried river shrimp, swallowed the crispy shrimp skin mixed with the tender, juicy shrimp meat into his stomach, and said, "What is this little retribution? If the Zhoujia Embroidery Workshop cannot continue to operate, it is not the unlucky one."
Those embroiderers? Master said that if you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world. Although we have never heard of it, but we want to help those embroiderers, it should be more than enough, right?"
Unexpectedly, he could think about this at such a young age, and Yu Qingzhi was filled with surprise.
She hadn't even thought of taking over the Zhou family's embroiderer.
After giving He Lancheng another piece of mushroom meat box, Yu Qingzhi asked: "Are you willing to help them?"
He Lancheng blushed, smiled sheepishly, and spoke of his selfishness.
"I'm not just trying to help them. Just now I saw that our He family's embroidery shop is doing well. If we can take those embroiderers for our own use, won't we be able to make the embroidery shop even bigger? Then my sister and I will
My sister-in-law doesn’t need to hold a candle to embroider, it’s also good for the eyes.”
"Then do as you say." Yu Qingzhi made a decision immediately.
He Wanyue, who had been eating silently aside, frowned and asked: "But our Hakka shop is so big, how can we accommodate so many embroiderers?"
"Then let them compete. We will only accept the ones who embroider well." Yu Qingzhi said, biting a piece of mushroom meat and core in her mouth, swallowing it and then said, "The Zhou family embroidery workshop is in a good location and has a big shop. Mrs. Zhou and Wen
If something happens to Jinbao again, it will definitely be sold at a low price. I don’t know who will buy it at that time. If it is still an embroidery workshop, those embroiderers will have a place."
As for the Hejia Embroidery Shop, there is only so much they can do to help. They have not yet reached the point where they are in poverty.
In He Ji Embroidery Village, Yu Qingzhi and the He family had a happy meal and even planned their future blueprint, but on the other side of Luming County, the home of Detective Wang was in a state of gloom and mist.
Aunt Li's daughter Yingniang was holding on to Captain Wang and crying, her charming and affectionate eyes soaked with tears.
She sobbed and said: "Husband, I am just a mother, do you want me to watch her go to jail? You also know that she is just competitive and has no bad intentions."
"She was the one who gave Mrs. Lu the medicine!" King Wang was filled with anger and couldn't get excited when he saw Ying Niang, whom he loved most in the past.
Hearing the impatience in his tone, Ying Niang lowered her head and swallowed: "Isn't Mrs. Lu okay? I think this is what Yu Qingzhi wants to target my mother. She knows our relationship with you, but she still does it in front of you.
Send my mother to jail in front of you, what is this if not a provocation to you?"
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Wang Yuan glared at her, "The person who ordered your mother's arrest was the county magistrate. Do you want me to go to the county magistrate and ask for an explanation?"
In Luming County, the county magistrate is a high-ranking official. When he mentioned this, Ying Niang did not dare to answer.
But after falling silent, Wang Yuan felt in his heart that what Ying Niang said was right.
When Yu Qingzhi did this, it was clear that he wanted to lose face!
Thinking of being suppressed and provoked by her over and over again, anger gradually appeared on Wang Yuan's face.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, she just doesn't give me face!"
When Ying Niang saw something going on, she immediately provoked, "Not only the one named Yu, but also Boss Zhu is not a good person! Before they came, you and the county magistrate were the biggest in our Luming County, but now you are behind them."
.”
"Bang!"
Wang Yuan slapped his palm on the table, "We must let them know who is the boss!"
