The wealthy man who wears books

"Lao Qi and daughter-in-law thank you for your wife's scriptures. At this moment, the two of us are safe and sound, and we haven't even burned a single hair!"

The voice behind the stone wall was indeed the Seventh Young Master Zhong Xin.

Everyone in the courtyard was dumbfounded for a moment. Who would have expected that after such a menacing fire, the voices of living people could still be heard in the ashes of the ruined fire scene.

Especially at this time when it was late at night, the moonlight was desolate, black and ash floated everywhere, and Zhong Xin's voice was indifferent and cold, and suddenly it sounded a little creepy.

He Yiru who was sitting on the futon swayed, as if frightened.But after a while, she slowly sat down again, and said excitedly towards the fire scene:

"Amitabha, I didn't expect that you and your wife escaped a catastrophe. I think it's really useful for me to eat fast and chant Buddha on a daily basis, praying for you. If that's the case, you should hurry out of there. During this time, you must drink a lot of water." A glass of good wine, I was overwhelmed."

Through the thin smoke, Zhong Xin's face could be vaguely seen on the stone wall.

"Madam said this right from Lao Qi's heart. If Madam hadn't been so devoted to Buddha and protected Lao Qi all these years, I would have met the King of Hades a long time ago with my fate. You don't need to drink the shocking wine, but Lao Qi is the best at cooking ginseng tea, but he must cook a bowl for his wife himself as a thank you. Now, please ask my wife to let them help me put something on the ashes Go up, otherwise the bottom will be very hot, and it will be inconvenient to come out."

He Yiru's eyes were filled with deep fear, but he nodded helplessly at this moment. Under such circumstances, he had to ask people to quickly put insulated bricks and stones in the fire site, which continued directly under the stone wall.

After getting through a simple brick and stone road out of the fire site, another big rock suddenly rolled down from the wall, and the entire opening of the hole can allow people to climb out.

Zhong Xin jumped out from inside first, and then followed Qin Huai carefully below, not letting him jump off, but holding him across his body, and then walked out.

Both of them were not wearing long gowns at this time, they were only wearing their middle clothes, the stone room must have been scorched by the blazing fire outside, so the interior must be extremely hot, so both of their middle clothes seemed to be soaked in water, they were thoroughly soaked, On the contrary, the strong and slender figures of the two young men can be seen at a glance.

Qin Huai gritted his teeth and crawled out from inside. When Zhong Xin hugged him, he naturally wanted to get down to the ground immediately.After all, there were all kinds of people from the Zhong family standing in front of him, and he was a young man anyway, so there was no reason for him to be hugged like this.

So he made a move to get off Zhong Xin's body, but as soon as he twisted his body, he subconsciously "hissed" in his mouth, and his whole face instantly became distorted.

Zhong Xin saw what he was thinking, and instead of letting him down, he hugged him even tighter, holding the hand underneath him even harder.

"Sister-in-law, don't be brave..."

When these words came out of his mouth, it was as low as a breeze blowing on his face, no one heard except Qin Huai.

Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat, his body went limp, and he completely collapsed on Zhong Xin's body, allowing him to hug him, and walked out of the scene of fire.

Just now, although he only tried it a little bit, he knew that his whole body, apart from the soreness, started from the waist, or the buttocks or legs, all became sore, numb and swollen. It's like losing the hip bone, it's like being given some terrible punishment, how can it be punished.

Sure enough, the words that the old seven whispered in a low voice are very reasonable, and I can't show my physical strength.

Because in Zhong Xin's words, all kinds of unspeakable past in that stone room last night are hidden.And all of the "rampage, filing in, ups and downs, and perseverance" in it have received the greatest feedback from Qin Huai's body now.

At this moment, Qin Huai felt that he seemed to understand an absolute truth, no matter how self-controlled, stable, even honest and kind a man is, at certain times, there is a possibility of turning into a beast or even a beast.

And often the more men who usually suppress themselves, once they have a chance to explode, the energy they accumulate will be more ferocious and terrifying.It's like a flood blocked by a dam. Once it passes through the barrier, the waves will be overwhelming, and the waves will be fierce.

And last night, Qin Huai was on the small bed in the dark room, in the boundless sweltering heat, he took the initiative to open his embankment, and was rushed into the deep valley again and again by the flood.

Of course, for Qin Huai, he also admitted that although he used his body to embrace a man, he himself was also a pure and pure man.So in the process of Lao Qi transforming from a man into a beast, in fact, like him, he became another beast, constantly asking for and motivating him, come, come again, come again.

Waiting until Zhong Xin and the two walked in front of the crowd, Ju Sheng, with tears in his eyes, let out a choked cry.

"Seventh brother, sister-in-law! It scared me, you hide in there, you don't know how scary the fire outside is, I'm really worried that you will be killed in that fire..."

In the end, the thin young man couldn't control it, and tears flowed down his face.

Just as Zhong Xin wanted to comfort him, he suddenly saw his arms tied behind his back, frowned slightly, turned his head to He Yiru and said:

"But I don't know why my wife tied up Jusheng. Could it be that she suspected that he set the fire? If that's the case, my wife can rest assured, just because Lao Qi knows who the person who set the fire was, how could it be him! "

When He Yiru walked over from the scene of fire with Qin Huai in his arms, the expression on his face was already a little uncontrollable. If it wasn't for the presence of everyone present, he would have wanted to leave here as soon as possible.Hearing what he said at this moment, Gordon felt in his heart, and hurriedly said to the people around him:

"Since Lao Qi knows the truth here, you should release Jusheng first. I said just now that even though he is tied up, I just don't want to let any suspicious person go. I didn't say that he must be arsonist." The real murderer. According to me, it is late at night, and you and your wife have just experienced such a major event. If you are still in shock, you might as well relax your mind earlier, and we will leave first, and come back to discuss these things tomorrow. How is it?"

At this moment, she just wanted to go back and contact Zhong Jiu, and discuss how to deal with Zhong Xin, so as she spoke, she helped the woman beside her by the shoulder, as if to leave.

Zhong Xin smiled faintly, turned his head to look at the fire scene full of sores, and suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Such a sudden fire burned so strangely, and Grandma Seven and I survived so miraculously. Could it be that my wife and everyone are not curious at all, who set this vicious fire, and how did we get together? Is it safe and sound?"

He Yiru will not pretend to be calm anymore, and this time has already lost his sense of proportion.Because Zhong believed in these words, he clearly wanted to reveal the truth and point out to the Zhong family who was the one who set the fire.

She intentionally evaded this danger, so she wanted to find an excuse to stop Zhong Xin, but unexpectedly, Zhong Xin had already spoken again.

"Ma'am, although the houses in the East Kua Courtyard are on fire, the main room in front is still very safe. Why don't we go to the main room to rest first, and wait for Lao Qi to make ginseng tea for the wife, and then Tell everyone the truth about what happened in Bochun Garden, the second wife and the third wife are also invited, and the whole family, all have a taste of Lao Qi's tea making skills, and also come to listen to this scene Behind the fire, is there any shady secret."

Everyone was stunned when they heard his words, they only felt that there seemed to be a terrifying mystery hidden in these few words, they immediately whispered to each other, and they couldn't restrain their excitement.

Why is riding a tiger at such a difficult time? If you want to insist on leaving, it is extremely unreasonable. After all, you are the highest authority in the Zhong family. At this time, you are involved in such a terrible fire, and now the victim wants to tell the truth in front of the whole family , How can I choose not to listen?

Thoughts were churning in her heart, and she barely supported herself by relying on years of skill, but her eyes searched among the crowd, and finally collided with Xiang'er's panicked eyes.

He Yiru nodded eagerly to her, and motioned to her with his eyes, telling her to quickly choose the opportunity to run out.After all, in today's big play, Xiang'er sang the beginning and Zhong Jiu sang the cutscene, but now, they have become a pair of characters who should have died in the play, and they are going to play the leading role for themselves.

The fear in Xiang'er's heart at this moment is not inferior to that of the eldest lady. After all, from poisoning the crabs to serving the soup with medicine to the young mistress, all of these are enough to drink a pot by herself.At this time, seeing He Yiru's hint to himself, he understood it, and dodged in the crowd very carefully, only wanting to find an opportunity, so he ran away quickly.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Xin seemed to have the ability to read minds, so he said to Ju Sheng at this moment:

"My young mistress and I will accompany my wife to the main room. Together with Xiang'er, I will lead someone to move my tea maker to the living room. It's cold in autumn night. Let's sit around the stove and drink tea. Let's listen to this scene together." The cause of the fire."

Ju Sheng caught his eye and knew what he wanted, so he followed Xiang'er closely and said, "Sister, just let me go!"

He Yiru's expression changed suddenly, but he saw Zhong Xin walking in front of him with Qin Huai in his arms, and said in a deep voice:

"Madam, please first, at this moment, the Zhong family regards you as the leader. The secrets that Lao Qi wants to tell, if you are not there to make decisions, it will be boring to talk about, so why don't you just tell the officials directly?" .”

He Yiru bit her lip lightly, looked at Zhong Xin quietly for a while, finally nodded, and said:

"Forget it, your skill in making tea was originally only the boss's good fortune. Since you said that today, let me test how much skill you have!"

In Zhong Xin's ears, he actually smiled slightly and didn't reply.

At this moment, everyone in the upper and lower ranks suddenly discovered that the Seventh Young Master, who had always been cautious and timid, seemed to have changed into a different person unknowingly after he walked out of the scene of fire.Not only did his waist become straight, but his face, which always had a respectful and humble expression, seemed to have changed into another expression.In the indifference, but inexplicably brought out a palpitating coldness.

Ever since he moved to Dongkuayuan, Qin Huai rarely returned to the main house, and at this moment when he revisited the old place, he felt inexplicably kind.

Putting aside the shadow that Zhong Ren left for me here, after all, the first time I met Lao Qi was in this room, with a basin of warm footwashing water kicking off the prelude.

Zhong Xin put Qin Huai on a rattan chair, and asked the girl to take a cushion and put it under him.

He Yiru sat in the middle of the grand teacher's chair, which was Zhong Rensuchang's favorite place to sit. She looked around at the luxurious decoration of the room, and at Lao Qi who was taking good care of Qin Huai, and sighed softly. He took a breath and seemed to be talking to himself:

"Boss, you can rest assured at the spring. Lao Qi is taking good care of your widow and eldest young mistress now. Even when you were alive, it probably couldn't compare to it."

Although she spoke lightly, everyone present could hear clearly. Zhong Xin and Qin Huai looked at each other, and Qin Huai saw a sneer in Zhong Xin's eyes.

At this time, the wives of the second bedroom and the third bedroom have already been invited. Although the two of them are listless because of the loss of their children, they heard that there was a fire in Pochunyuan, the two of the seventh young masters survived the fire, and the seventh young master was going to open the door of Zhong's house in public. For such a strange thing as a secret, both of them came here, wanting to get a glimpse of it.

After the two of them were seated, Ju Sheng and Xiang Er led the people to set up the fire and utensils in the center of the hall. For a while, everyone looked at the water vapor slowly evaporating in the air and fell silent involuntarily.

Zhong Xin patted Qin Huai's hand lightly, without making a sound, but slowly turned his gaze to the copper furnace on the fire, and finally walked over step by step.

"Madam, the fire is booming right now, Lao Qi's ginseng tea can start to be stewed slowly, the only thing is, it will take some time to stew this tea to get the taste, I just hope my wife will wait patiently Go to the meeting. You must know that when the elder brother was here, he liked the heat of the tea the most. He only said that the longer I cook, the stronger the taste of the tea, and the stronger the effect of the ginseng."

He Yiru nodded, frowned, and said coldly:

"It's a pity that the boss has drunk the ginseng tea you stewed for nearly ten years, but he still hasn't regained his health. On the contrary, you, the tea stewer, are very strong!"

Zhong Xin was adding ginseng powder and tea leaves to the teapot. Hearing what she said, he stopped his hands and slowly raised his head. On that handsome face, suddenly there was an indescribable coldness and sarcasm.

"My wife is very right. Although my eldest brother was nourished every day during his lifetime, he still had a thin body like a coffin. Not only did he have no strength to restrain a chicken, but if he walked in a hurry, he would have to lean against the wall to breathe for a while. It's really weak. And the big brother is not only physically weak, but as a man, what's even more tragic is that he guards such a stunning beauty, but he can't be a real man. The most painful thing in life is nothing more than Therefore, it is no wonder that elder brother took the medicine desperately to replenish his body, and even died in Huangquan."

Everyone's voices in the living room seemed to quiet down instantly.

He Yiru listened to the tone of his mouth, it could be said that he was mocking Zhong Ren to the utmost, and his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily:

"At this moment, what are you talking about and doing, if the ginseng tea you cook every day is effective, why does he need to use some indiscriminate tonic? It's not because you didn't serve him properly, but he was delayed! "

Zhong Xin suddenly raised the tea bowl in his hand, and smiled coldly at He Yiru.

"After all, a wife is a wife, so she can speak to the point. The elder brother has been so weak all these years that he can't even be a man. The reason is not because of the tea!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room gasped.
