Chapter 239 Reunion
“Brother, is Yue Heng the scholar you said last time that you protected for three days in the ruined temple?”
When walking out of the tea room, Tang Jiao was curious and excited. He asked politely: "You didn't tell me the story in detail at that time. Tell me carefully!"
Fu Qingzhou glared at her: "Qingsongzi gave you such a dangerous thing, but you didn't tell me Me?”
Tang Jiao was stunned.
"Brother..."
She whispered: "Master said that you... said that you are too smart and cannot let you know what I have on me, otherwise you will make a lot of mess in this world. Something about..."
Fu Qingzhou almost lost his temper.
"Then you dare to take it out in front of others?"
He sighed: "Do you know the crime of having a jade? Even if this thing can't be used by others, it is still a treasure. What to do if you are targeted? ”
"I was wrong..." Tang Jiao said aggrievedly: "Master said we should show our confidence when appropriate, otherwise others will always think that we are easy to bully... and there is nothing else on me worth fifty thousand taels."
Fu Qingzhou curled his lips, but had nothing to say.
Don’t tell me, Situ Chong really deceived them as their enemies at first... But the moment the Xuanxing Shentie was photographed, everything changed.
Inducement, deterrence, counterattack, concession, show of goodwill.
A little drama that seemed over the top but was actually well-founded turned a "priceless" transaction into a simple matter.
"Jiaojiao, tell me the truth."
Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes: "When did Qingsongzi accept you as his apprentice? Did you secretly become his disciple before I came down from the mountain? Why? It’s only been a few days and you’ve learned so much?”
Tang Jiao smiled: “Brother, what are you talking about? I just became a teacher before going down the mountain. Master actually didn’t teach me much. , you taught me all these years."
Fu Qingzhou stared: "Me?"
"Yes"
Tang Jiao blinked and said: "In the past two years or so, we have been copying books and chatting at the same time. Brother, you have said a lot, a lot..."
Fu Qingzhou was speechless.
Looking back, it was indeed the case. At that time, the two of them were copying books across the table. Most of the time, he was talking and Tang Jiao was listening. When he got bored copying, he would just talk randomly.
Seeing a good bow technique, she said she didn’t know how it compares to Huang Zhong and Hua Rong. Tang Jiao asked out of curiosity, who is Huang Zhong and who is Hua Rong? He began to talk about storytelling, including the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, and also made blind comments about the actions in it...
For example, there were so many such things that he couldn't even count them.
In this way, Tang Jiao must have learned a lot of messy stuff from her without knowing it...
Fu Qingzhou laughed and covered his face.
"Then what's going on with this magic iron?"
He brought the topic back: "Qingsongzi couldn't give you this just to scare people, right?"< br>
"No." Tang Jiao lowered her voice and said: "Master said that he watched the stars at night, calculated all the things in the world, and finally came to the conclusion that we must have a piece of divine iron around us!"< br>
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, doubtful.
Since when did this old Taoist priest engage in such nonsense...
While talking, the two of them had already passed through the backyard of the pawn shop, opened the small door, and returned to the lobby of the pawn shop. .
As soon as he opened the door, Fu Qingzhou immediately stayed on the spot and his eyes widened.
At the same time, Yue Heng, who was beaten to a bruised and swollen face with blood on the floor of the pawn shop, was getting up with a sigh. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and looked over.
The two of them stared at each other, stunned at the same time.
“Brother Yue?!”
“Brother Fu!”
The two of them spoke at the same time, both of them were surprised.
Fu Qingzhou hurriedly stepped forward to support Yue Heng, but saw that the brother-in-law's face tightened, clearly showing an expression of pain, and he gritted his teeth and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"What's wrong? Where is the injury?"
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.
Yue Heng smiled bitterly and looked down at his legs.
I saw that the trouser leg of the right leg was torn. Although there was no bleeding, it was bruised and swollen. Judging from the size of the swelling and the degree of congestion, I am afraid it was not just a flesh injury. "Oh, Xiaosheng's legs..."
Yue Heng sighed: "After a few days of recovery, I was injured again..."
"What's going on?"
Fu Qingzhou was slightly angry: "Who hurt you like this?" ?”
He turned his head and glanced at the people in the pawn shop.
The court officials and guests all turned their heads silently.
"Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with them." Yue Heng patted Fu Qingzhou's shoulder and forced out a smile: "It has nothing to do with them. The person who beat me has gone... But Brother Fu, why are you here?"
Fu Qingzhou did not answer, but turned to look at the pawn shop counter.
Situ Chong returned to the lobby a step slower than them, stood behind the counter again, and nodded at him.
"Mr. Situ."
Tang Jiao understood what her elder brother meant and said softly: "Please arrange a carriage and some medicine for us."
"It should be so." Situ Chong nodded.
Fu Qingzhou suddenly said: "Get a few more jugs of good wine."
......
The carriage was slowly moving forward on the street, with Tang Jiao, a cute little girl, in front. Driving a car attracts many passersby’s attention.
"I see, Brother Fu, you are here to do something... Oh, it hurts, it hurts!"
In the carriage, while Yue Heng was talking, his face was suddenly distorted and his body became stiff with pain.
That was Fu Qingzhou applying medicine to his leg injury.
"Your leg bone is cracked."
He frowned and said: "It was just right last time, but this time I was injured again. If not treated properly, it will leave hidden dangers for a lifetime."
Yue Heng smiled bitterly and said: "Oh, it's just that Xiaosheng is too ignorant of human feelings. I don't even know when I offended Mr. Lan..."
"If there are no people around you who can protect you from now on, you should drink less."
Fu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly: "If I hadn't come here, you would have been tortured to death."
Yue Heng was slightly shocked after hearing this: "Brother Fu, you...you want to stand up for me, Xiaosheng? No, no, how did you know that I was drinking at that time..."
Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly.
“Don’t worry about these.”
He took the medicine and whispered: "Now that I'm here, I will definitely help you settle this matter - tell me first, what result do you want?"
"What result?" Yue Heng was startled.
He did not go into details about how Fu Qingzhou knew these things, nor asked why the pawnshop was willing to arrange medicine for carriage injuries, nor why Fu Qingzhou wanted to help him...
This scholar , as big-hearted as ever.
He scratched his head and said: "What else can happen? That Mr. Lan is a son of a noble family. If I really offend him, I will leave Hengfeng City quickly. It's a pity that I don't have any money at the moment. Maybe I’ll have to pawn the token of love that Chu Chu gave me...”
Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes.
Dude! That's a token of love given to you! Are you going to be a pawn? !
“That’s not possible.”
He chuckled: “Someone else beat my brother, how could I just let it go?”
Yue Heng was shocked: “ Don't, Brother Fu! It's not worth offending a disciple of a noble family for a small life! You don't know that the Xishan Lan family is one of the four great families in Dayan, and there are many people from them in the court, even..."
"Stop." Fu Qingzhou interrupted him: "Even if it's not for myself... I promised others to help you."
"Others?"
Yue Heng was confused again. : "Who is it?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll talk about it endlessly." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "The man asked me to mediate the relationship between Mr. Lan and you, but he didn't say... How to reconcile it?”
