Chapter 104
He waited for Zhang Xiaohua to settle down before asking with a grin, "Xiaohua, are you very familiar with this Qiu Tong?"
Zhang Xiaohua said, "Of course, it was Big Sister Qiu Tong who told me to go to Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Of course we're very familiar with each other."
"Then how old is Qiu Tong?
Where is she from?
Is there anyone else in her family?
Also, is she ….. is she married? "Li Jinfeng asked a long list of questions in a row.
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and mumbled, "We are familiar with each other, but … we've only met two or three times. I'm really not too sure about the questions you're asking. Why don't I help you ask Big Sister Qiu Tong the next time I see her?"
Li Jinfeng put his index finger in the middle of his mouth and made a "shh ~" sound, saying, "It's too embarrassing to ask her these things in person. When you have time, you can find a chance to slowly ask her. However, you have to be careful not to let her know that it's me who wants to ask, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and asked, "Why?
It's what you want to know in the first place. Why do you have to be so secretive? "
Li Jinfeng clasped his hands behind his back and looked out the window, saying, "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the continent of the river, a gentle and graceful lady is a good match for a gentleman.
Xiaohua ah, you're still young. When you grow up, you'll know for yourself. "
Zhang Xiaohua was confused and asked, "Where did this saying come from?
Why haven't I heard of it before? "
Li Jinfeng smiled and said, "Xiaohua, there are so many books in this world that we can barely read ten percent of them in our entire lives. That's why there's no end to learning, but there's a limit to my heart. Only by reading more and reading more books can I keep up with the pace of the times. This saying is from a legendary song in a book. When you have the chance to read it, you'll naturally know the specific meaning. Even if I tell you now, you won't understand."
Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips, but she agreed with him in her heart. She had only learned for a few days, but Li Jinfeng had been studying for decades. Of course, his knowledge and experience could not be compared to hers. At this stage, whatever he said was the truth. There was no way she could argue with him. They were not on the same level after all.
The two of them chatted for a while. Li Jinfeng would intentionally or unintentionally ask Zhang Xiaohua about Qiu Tong. Unfortunately, ever since Zhang Xiaohua arrived at Huan Xi Manor, she had not seen Qiu Tong once. All she knew were some trivial things that she heard from others. Even so, these were still very interesting to Li Jinfeng. Later on, Li Jinfeng suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, you've only been in Ping Yang City for a few days. How did you suddenly get to know Qiu Tong?
I've been in Ping Yang City for much longer than you. Why didn't I have this opportunity? "
Zhang Xiaohua recounted how she met Qiu Tong. Li Jinfeng sighed and said, "You even got such a good opportunity. If only it were me. I would definitely be able to bring that thief to Qiu Tong."
Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips again and said, "If it were you, where would my rice bowl be?
A guy who only has the opposite sex but no friends.
You even have to scheme against someone's livelihood.
Moreover, with your character, how can you catch a thief? If it weren't for me that day, you wouldn't have known that your money pouch had been stolen. "
When Li Jinfeng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He said, "In that case, Qiu Tong and I both met a thief. It was also because of you that our money pouches didn't go missing. It seems that Qiu Tong and I are really fated."
Looking at Li Jinfeng's extremely narcissistic look, Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes. At this point, even if Zhang Xiaohua thought with her heels, she knew that Li Jinfeng was very interested in Qiu Tong. However, this was the first time Zhang Xiaohua had seen someone like Li Jinfeng who forcefully pulled fate together. It was probably the first time in Ping Yang City as well.
If this was also fate, then Yue Lao's red string was too worthless.
At night, Zhang Xiaohu returned. Zhang Xiaohua told him about what happened today. Zhang Xiaohu was very happy and felt as if a rock had been lifted from his heart. Previously, the Third Master Qu had promised Huan Xi Manor. However, as long as Zhang Xiaohua didn't receive news from the manor, he naturally wouldn't feel at ease.
He had also met Qiu Tong before. She was the one who brought Zhang Xiaohua to Huan Xi Manor. Zhang Xiaohu still believed Qiu Tong's words very much.
For the next few days, although Zhang Xiaohua was still lying on the kang bed to recuperate, she felt as if a cat was scratching her heart. She didn't want to stay on the kang bed anymore and kept thinking about returning to the manor. She wasn't even in the mood to read the books that Li Jinfeng brought her. Zhang Xiaohu was also a little frustrated. After all, the cultivation of internal energy was not as easy to see the results as practicing fist techniques. He had been studying internal energy for such a long time, but he still hadn't reached the threshold. Naturally, he couldn't calm down.
Therefore, when the two brothers were in the room, they couldn't help but stare at each other. After a period of boredom, Zhang Xiaohua asked Zhang Xiaohu, "Second Brother, why don't I go back to Huan Xi Manor first? After staying in the escort agency for a few months, I haven't even left this room much. I'm tired of it. No matter what, I know some people in the manor. It's also a big place, like our Guozhuang House. Anyway, I can move now, so I'm not afraid of hurting my bones again.
I can't move anymore. "Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and nodded," That's good. It's not interesting to see you being absent-minded here. Tomorrow, I'll find the doctor in the medical hall to take a final look and then send you back.
That's right, I heard you say that the carriage company has carriages. After the doctor is done, we'll find that carriage company and get a carriage to send you back. "
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Second Brother, I heard from my roommate, Ma Jing, that this carriage doesn't seem cheap. I think I'd better walk back myself. After all, I haven't moved for a long time. It's good to walk. That's right, this is my monthly salary for working in Huan Xi Manor. Take it first and give it to Father and Mother when you have time."
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohua took out the money that she had been carrying for several months and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu. She continued, "The main purpose of coming to the escort agency this time was to see you and give this money to you. In the end, I ended up staying here for several months. It's really fate that makes fools of people."
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the money in his younger brother's small hands and felt sour in his heart. He didn't know what to say. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth, "Xiaohua, take this money first. It's inconvenient to be outside compared to being at home. You're alone in the manor and I'm not by your side. There are many places where you need money. You should also buy more things for yourself. Father and Mother at home want you to be healthy and live a good life. You can only take care of yourself first and then consider giving it to them."
Zhang Xiaohua insisted on putting the money into Zhang Xiaohu's hands, saying, "It's alright, Second Brother. I don't leave the manor. Everything is ready-made there. I don't need to buy food or clothes myself. What else do I need to buy?
Besides, this is the first time I've received my monthly allowance. It's very important and has a very important meaning. I must give it to Father and Mother. They've worked very hard to raise me. This money is a symbol of my growth and is also my filial piety to them. "
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "This Li Jinfeng is really not bad. He's taught you to be refined and refined. When you speak, there are many reasons. Mm, since you've said so, I'll take it first. When there's a chance, I'll have someone else bring it back.
However, you've just recovered from a serious illness, so it's best that you don't tire yourself out. I've already received my monthly allowance from the escort agency for several months. I'll pay for you to take that carriage back. "
However, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't willing and tried to refuse. Zhang Xiaohu felt sorry for his younger brother and persisted. Even when they were about to go to sleep, there was still no result.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Xiaohua had Zhang Xiaohu bring her to the medical hall and let the old physician take a look. The physician carefully looked at her and then wrapped her in a bandage. He smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohua, "The bones are growing very neatly and have recovered very well. Moreover, the recovery time was unexpectedly short. It seems that you've been stifled for a long time. From today onwards, you can move your right hand freely. However, you mustn't use too much strength at first. For the time being, it's just a normal extension and contraction. Remember, don't use your right hand to lift heavy objects. When you're working, try your best to use your left hand. Oh right, try your best to use your right hand when you're eating.
Zhang Xiaohua anxiously asked, "Then when can I practice boxing?"
The physician looked at Zhang Xiaohua's expectant gaze and then looked at Zhang Xiaohu. He kindly said, "Mm, you can move your right hand first. After a few days when this bandage is removed, you can try to practice boxing. However, you must remember that practicing boxing is only to strengthen your body. Being competitive is not the purpose of practicing boxing. In the future, you must try your best not to compete with others or cause trouble."
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. What was the point of practicing boxing if he wasn't going to fight?
However, he still nodded as if he didn't fully understand.
Zhang Xiaohua happily followed Zhang Xiaohu back. As he walked, he eagerly wanted to move his arm. Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Although the physician has already allowed you to move, there should be a limit. Don't move so much. Try to move as little as possible first. Wait a while before practicing your boxing.
Oh right, I think that Young Master Li's words make sense. Why don't you read more books? Maybe practicing is more interesting? "Zhang Xiaohu still tried to persuade Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly walked quietly and replied disapprovingly, "Practicing is boring. Although those books look interesting, if you study them every day, it's boring. I still want to practice boxing and practice internal strength."
Zhang Xiaohu said, "Ai, what internal strength? Let's not talk about how you don't know where you can learn internal strength techniques. I've been practicing this internal strength technique for so long and haven't made any progress. Practicing martial arts is too difficult."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Second Brother, didn't you always say that as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle? Why are you saying such discouraging words now?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "That depends on what kind of iron it is. Ai, let's not talk about it anymore. Maybe when the time comes, you'll know how difficult it is.
If I say it now, you won't believe me.
However, since you insist on practicing martial arts, then you must do it step by step. Slowly move your right hand. When the time is right, then you can start practicing boxing. "
As the two talked, they returned to the small room. At this time, there was someone waiting in front of Zhang Xiaohu's room. When he saw Zhang Xiaohu return, he hurriedly said, "Zhang Xiaohu, where did you run off to?
Sixth Master Li is anxiously looking for you. "
It seemed that the person was in a hurry. Zhang Xiaohu didn't have time to say anything to Zhang Xiaohua. He only told him not to go back to the villa and to wait for him to come back.
Zhang Xiaohua wanted to leave by himself, but when he saw his Second Brother's glare, he obediently waited in the room.
Just as he was bored waiting, he heard someone shout from outside, "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, where are you?"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this familiar voice, he happily jumped down from the kang bed. Before he left the room, he loudly replied, "I'm here, Brother Ma, I'm here."
It turned out that the person outside was Zhang Xiaohua's roommate, Ma Jing.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua hadn't seen this roommate of his for several months. He even threw some of the resentment in his heart to the back of his mind and rushed out of the room.
When he reached the door, Ma Jing also followed the sound and came over. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua come out of the room, he was very happy. He went forward to hold Zhang Xiaohua's right hand. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua was already used to using his left hand, so naturally, he reached out his left hand. Ma Jing was stunned and quickly changed his hand. When Zhang Xiaohua understood, the scene of him scratching his feet immediately appeared in his mind. However, it was too late. His left hand had already been enthusiastically grabbed by Ma Jing's hand. His right hand also very naturally patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know whether to withdraw his hand or his shoulder. He only heard Ma Jing enthusiastically say, "Brother, long time no see. I missed you a lot. How did your voice become so nice?
You actually chased after me. You have a bit of my style in the past. "
Zhang Xiaohua withdrew his hand and wanted to let Ma Jing into the room, but Ma Jing held his hand tightly. Without waiting for him to speak, he continued, "Brother, did you know that day? I was thinking about going back to the manor to lead the way for you, so I went back before it was midnight. When I didn't see you at the entrance of the manor, I thought you went back to your room. However, I didn't see you at the entrance of the manor either, so I felt strange. You said that if you didn't go back, I wouldn't have to go back so early. Xiaotao … Oh, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the manor for a while. Otherwise, you won't be able to find a place to stay when you come back at night.
Moreover, you still didn't come back the next day, so I missed you even more. Ai, Brother Xi is also right. Although we're roommates, you can't let me do all your work alone. In any case, you should let others share some of your work, right?
Without you, I'm so tired. I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon. However, I heard from Brother Xi that your hand was injured. I'm going to faint. You can't let me do all your work, right?
Fortunately, Brother Xi still has some humanity and didn't let me do all of it. However, compared to before, it's also more tiring. Look at how thin I've become. This is the aftereffect of that time. "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Ma, it's really been hard on you. Little brother apologizes. In the future, little brother will admire Brother Ma more."
After saying this, he took the opportunity to pull out his left hand. However, as soon as he pulled it out, Ma Jing held it even more passionately. Ma Jing said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, you can see it too?
However, don't admire Brother Xi. Brother Xi only has this shortcoming of taking pleasure in helping others. "
Zhang Xiaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only stretch out his left hand and let Ma Jing hold it. However, he secretly swore in his heart, "In a while, I must wash my hands eight to ten times. Moreover, I must practice my body movements well. Next time, I definitely won't let Ma Jing get close to me."
Then, Ma Jing talked about the trivial matters of the life of the people in the villa, as well as the trivial quarrels. It was a pity that Zhang Xiaohua only wanted to wash her hands. He was just playing the lute to a cow and casting pearls before swine. Finally, Ma Jing made a concluding statement, "Fortunately, after you were injured for a month, my closest comrade and roommate, Liu Er, came back and saved me from the sea of labor. Oh right, you haven't seen Liu Er yet, right? Come here, let me introduce you."
After saying this, he pulled Zhang Xiaohua's hand and stepped aside, revealing a short and honest figure behind him. Ma Jing's figure was not tall, but this fat man was actually shorter than Ma Jing. It was no wonder that Ma Jing blocked him and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't see him. However, this person's height was not as tall as Ma Jing, but his body was almost twice as fat as Ma Jing. Thinking about the food in Huan Xi Villa, Zhang Xiaohua somewhat understood.
Zhang Xiaohua quickly took the opportunity to pull her hand out and saluted the short and fat Liu Er, saying, "Liu Er Ge, I've heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't meet you until today."
That Liu Er also returned the salute and said in a very low voice, "Zhang Xiaohua, how are you? Have you recovered from your injury?"
Zhang Xiaohua said, "Thank you for your concern, Liu Er Ge. I'm much better now."
Then, Zhang Xiaohua said to the two of them, "Two big brothers, please come in and sit."
Ma Jing stopped walking and looked at the sky, saying, "Xiaohua, it's already late. We didn't come here to see you."
Zhang Xiaohua was disappointed and said, "Why are you leaving so soon?
Why don't you sit and chat for a while? When my second brother comes back, I'll go with you. Anyway, my injury has recovered and I'm discussing with my second brother about going back to the villa. "
Ma Jing continued, "Yes, I didn't come here to see you. I came out to do some business and bring you back to the villa while I'm at it."
Ma Jing emphasized the word "see". When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she suddenly understood. Ai, this Ma Jing's habits never changed.
Zhang Xiaohua said, "How about this, Ma Ge, Liu Er Ge, you two go into the house first. I'll go find my second brother and let him know. I'll go with you two immediately."
When the two heard this, they entered the house.
However, when the two of them entered the house and Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the small courtyard, she realized that she didn't know where to look for Zhang Xiaohu. There were many people in the escort agency and the place was big. Zhang Xiaohua wasn't so stupid as to think that everyone in the agency would know Zhang Xiaohu. She had a vague impression of the martial arts center, but today, Zhang Xiaohu had been called away by Sixth Master Li. She didn't know where the guards were, so she could only return to the house for the time being.
When she returned to the house, Ma Jing asked, "How come you're done talking to your second brother so quickly?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Not yet. I don't know where my second brother went either. I'd better pack up first or write him a note later."
Ma Jing was stunned and said, "You know how to write?
I remember that you don't know how to read. "
Zhang Xiaohua said proudly, "Ma Ge, a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. Moreover, we haven't seen each other for more than three months. Don't tell me I can't write?"
Ma Jing said enviously, "Xiaohua, you're not lying to your brother, right? No matter how I look at you, you don't look like someone who can write in three months."
Zhang Xiaohua said as she packed up, "Alright then. After I pack up, I'll perform for you. Let's see if I can write or not."
