Chapter 201 Expedition to Longxi(1/2)

Just as the boy was about to come forward to argue, Qin Hao impatiently opened the curtain and whipped the two of them with the whip in his hand. With two crisp cracks, the two fell to the ground and screams pierced the night sky.

Soon, a group of strong men gathered around and cursed. When the boy saw this, he pointed at the emblem of the Qin family on the carriage and cursed.

"If you blind your eyes, even if the Qin family's young master is here, how dare you make a mistake!"

The strong men looked at each other one by one, and then an old man with some gray hair came, cupped his hands and said: "I didn't know that the noble man is coming, and I am waiting for you at a distance, but I hope to atone for my sins."

Qin Hao put his hands behind his back, stood on the carriage and looked down at the old man: "A good friend of mine was punished by an elder in the family and sent to the village. He was a little anxious just now. These two coins can be regarded as compensation for the two brothers.

.”

In feudal society, nobles did not need to apologize to the common people.

There were two bangs, the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground. The two men, who were still lying on the ground screaming, instantly crawled forward, each holding a piece of silver, and looked at Qin Hao in surprise.

One ingot of silver weighed five taels, which was enough for them to buy several acres of fertile farmland. They even regretted not taking more hits.

The other strong men also looked at the two being beaten with envy, but the old man frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "But I don't know who the friend this noble man mentioned is?"

"Cheng Shaoshang, the fourth wife of the Cheng family, must have been sent here not long ago."

The old man's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Madam Cheng Si. I will lead the way for you."

Looking at the back of Qin Hao's carriage driving away, he was secretly glad that fortunately, he had just arrived and he had not yet complied with Ge's request to treat Mrs. Cheng Si harshly. He secretly complained in his heart as to why Ge had left this hot potato to him.

"Brother Gouzi, when you get rich, don't forget us poor brothers."

"Yes, Brother Leizi has made such a huge fortune, why does he have to treat us to a big bar?"

"By the way, what is this young man's background? And what kind of official is Da Si Nong? Is he bigger than our county master?"

"Idiot, don't look at this young man's magnanimity. Can the county master raise him? Da Sinong ranks among the ninth ministers, and the taxes we pay every year are all managed by others."

"Dear me, it turns out that I am an official in charge of the treasury. Brother Mao Zi knows a lot."

"That's right. After all, brother, I also went to a private school for a few years."

The gorgeous carriage arrived at a dilapidated courtyard in Zhuangzi, attracting many people to watch, and the women around them began to talk about it.

"My dear, this carriage is much more elegant than the Cheng family's. It's quite a big deal."

"Sure enough, this noble man also associates with noble people. This time, Fourth Lady Cheng was sent to our village by her elders. There are noble people coming to see her. Let's not neglect her in the future."

"Yes, they can crush us to death with just a few fingers, but we can't afford to offend them."

In the room, there was only a dim oil lamp shining sporadic light, which could only illuminate an area in front of the bed. Cheng Shaoshang lay on the bed with a pale face, his face covered in cold sweat.

Lianfang was about to apply medicine to Cheng Shaoshang when he suddenly saw the door of the room being pushed open and subconsciously covered Cheng Shaoshang with the quilt.

"Qin, Mr. Qin, why are you here?" Lianfang stared blankly at Qin Hao approaching, his eyes full of disbelief.

Qin Hao did not answer, but walked to the bed and took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Cheng Shaoshang's face.

Cheng Shaoshang squeezed out a smile: "How did you find this place?"

"When you recover from your injuries, I will take you to your father's place." Qin Hao did not answer, but said calmly.

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes flashed with anticipation, but then he said darkly: "My eldest mother and my second aunt will not let me go."

Qin Hao gently rubbed her head: "You don't have to worry about this. I will arrange it. Now you just have to take care of your injuries and leave the rest to me."

Women in ancient times were generally more precocious. Lianfang stood aside awkwardly when she heard this. If she hadn't been worried about being alone in the same room with a man and a woman after she left, she would have wanted to leave.

Cheng Shaoshang's bright eyes flashed with the light of candlelight. He closed his eyes gently and pressed one cheek against the hard bed: "Well, it's great to have you here."

Qin Hao stood up and said to the boy: "What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly unload the things from the carriage?"

"Ah, No." When the young man came in a bit troubled, the lady told him not to leave for a moment, but when he saw Qin Hao's slightly threatening eyes, he had no choice but to go and move things.

After the boy left, Cheng Shaoshang murmured: "Your mother must think I'm not good enough for you, right?"

"What do you think?" Qin Hao asked.

Cheng Shaoshang pursed his lips and said, "I am worthy of anyone."

After saying that, I couldn't help but chuckle. Lianfang had already turned away and couldn't bear to look at her. My young lady is really...

As far as Qin Hao's family status is concerned, the Cheng family can no longer be described as reaching for the top, it is simply trying to catch the moon in the sky.

Not long after, the boy came in with a bunch of things, including daily necessities and some medicinal supplements.

Qin Hao took a box of ointment and handed it to Lian Fang: "This is the best trauma medicine in the military. I will change the medicine for your lady once a day. The skin trauma should be healed in three to five days."

"No." Lianfang quickly took it.

Upon seeing this, Qin Hao stood up and said to Cheng Shaoshang: "You take a good rest and I will come see you in a few days."

When he turned around, the hem of his clothes was grabbed by Cheng Shaoshang, and then he raised his chubby little hand: "Lagou, you are not allowed to go back on what you said today."

Qin Hao stretched out his little thumb and stamped it with her: "Are you satisfied now?"

Cheng Shaoshang laughed out loud, but because the movement was too big, the wound was affected, causing a stinging pain on his buttocks, and his smiling face instantly turned into a mask of pain.

"Lianfang will give your lady the medicine, I'm leaving." Qin Hao said and turned around and left the room.

Cheng Shaoshang looked at Qin Hao's leaving back, looking a little dazed. Suddenly he felt a burning pain in his buttocks, and couldn't help but scream: "Lian Fang, please be gentle."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Miss, I am already very light. Is it because the medicine is too powerful?" Lianfang argued.

Cheng Shaoshang gritted his teeth when he heard this: "The medicine sent by the Qin family brother is naturally the best."

Lianfang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

On the other side, back at Qin Mansion, Qin Hao was called to Qin Yuanshi's room, and Qin Yuanshi was staring at him angrily.

Qin Hao stepped forward with a playful smile: "Mom, who made you angry again this late at night? Son, help you vent your anger."

Then a finger stopped at the tip of his nose. Qin Hao turned his face in embarrassment and rubbed his nose.

Qin Yuan was angry and funny: "You are such a bastard, you dare to say that you have no interest in the fourth lady of the Cheng family. If people find out about your late night outing, I don't know how much criticism it will cause!"

"Mother..." As soon as Qin Hao opened his mouth, Mrs. Qin Yuan couldn't wait to interrupt.

"Hao'er, do you still remember that my mother reminded you back then? You also promised my mother that you have no interest in the fourth lady of the Cheng family, so I agreed to your association!"

Qin Hao was a little embarrassed, it was indeed him who said this.

"Mom, five years ago, the child did not have that interest in Madam Cheng Si, but now that the child has grown up, I hope that the mother will fulfill her wish."

Qin Yuan became anxious when she heard this: "Hao'er, it's not that my mother can't help you, but the fact is that the Cheng family is not a good match. Your father also knows about this. Just listen to my mother's advice and don't talk to her again.

Then Mrs. Cheng Si got in touch."

"Mother, the child is now twelve years old. He is no longer a child. He knows what he is doing. Although the old lady of the Cheng family and the second brother Ge Shi have little knowledge, the men of the Cheng family have their own strengths. The first brother has outstanding military exploits, and the second brother has outstanding achievements.

He is very knowledgeable, and Sanfang is teaching at Bailu Mountain Academy, and he will be able to shine in the future."

When Qin Hao saw that Qin Yuan wanted to interrupt, he rushed to continue: "A supportive Yue family will naturally help the child in the future, but it is not a constraint. There are so many people in the family, there will be some scum, mother.

Have you ever thought about it, if your child marries a noble girl in the future, and her incompetent family members ask me to recommend him as an official, will the child agree or not?"

"This..." Qin Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Qin Hao didn't give her any time to react: "If you don't agree, it will definitely affect the harmony between the two families. If you agree, if the person you recommend makes a mistake in the future, the child will also be punished."

The recommendation system of the Han Dynasty was also binding. Those who made recommendations could be rewarded, but if the recommender was corrupt and violated the law, he would also be held accountable.

"The child is now working as a companion in the palace. He has a good relationship with several princes and will definitely be used in important ways in the future. If a man is a man, what's the point of fame and wealth if he can't leave it in the hands of a woman?"

Qin Yuan couldn't find a rebuttal argument, so she could only say angrily: "Okay, your wings have become stiff, I can't control you anymore, let your father discipline you!"

As a result, Mrs. Qin Yuan told her husband about the situation, but Qin Fang persuaded her in turn: "I didn't expect Hao'er to have such ambition, but I underestimated him."

"But, the Cheng family..." Mrs. Qin Yuan was anxious. She really looked down on Mrs. Cheng and the Ge family.

Qin Fang quickly reassured: "We came here when we were teenagers. The more you break them up, the more they will feel that they are a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, and the more inseparable they will be. Why not find a chance for them to calm down for a while?

Anyway, they haven’t reached the age to talk about marriage yet.”

"This method is good, but how can we separate them?" Qin Yuan's eyes lit up and she thought this was a good idea.

Qin Fang smiled and said, "Hao'er already told me when he left that he wanted to send Mrs. Cheng Si to her father so that she would not suffer from Ge's troubles again. They would not be able to see each other for at least three to five years.

Madam, are you relieved now?"

"Since Master has known this for a long time, why didn't you tell me?" Qin Yuan complained.

"Well, I forgot to inform my wife when I was doing official business. It's all my husband's fault."

Qin Fang comforted him by saying that although he also felt that the Cheng family was not a good match, he still wanted to fulfill his son's wishes. In his opinion, this was just his son's young admiration. When he grows up, he might fall in love with another little girl.

There is no need for them to be the bad guy.

A few days later, Qin Hao came to Chengjiazhuangzi outside the city again. Cheng Shaoshang's wound was almost healed and he could get out of bed and walk normally.

When Cheng Shaoshang saw Qin Hao, his slightly baby-fat face revealed a pair of shallow dimples. When Qin Hao came closer, he twitched his nose like a puppy against him: "It smells so good. What delicious food have you brought?"

"

Qin Hao tapped her forehead: "Why would I bring food with me?"

When the accompanying boy brought up a beggar's chicken, Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but drooled. He tore off a chicken leg and started to chew on it. He also pulled off the chicken wings and handed them to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao also started to nibble, and soon the two of them had finished the whole beggar's chicken.
