Fortunate Young Gentleman

Zhongfu.

Zhao Zhijie sat down at the table, looked at Zhong Mingli, and asked, "Why, the distinguished guest came to the door, and he didn't even get a cup of hot tea?"

"Dignified guest?" Zhong Mingli looked at him, snorted coldly, and said, "Over the years, you have not made any progress in other areas, but you have become thicker and thicker."

"In that case, Zhao takes his leave." Zhao Zhijie stood up and said, "Go check the identity of your uncle..."

Zhong Mingli was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Have you found out?"

"Is this important?" Zhao Zhijie glanced at him and said, "Let's go. At least we can have a cup of hot tea at home..."

"Tea!"

Zhong Mingli looked at the maid waiting at the side and said, "Bring out the pot of good tea in my study!"

The tea was steaming and exuding a refreshing fragrance. Zhong Mingli looked at him and asked, "Did you find it?"

Zhao Zhijie sat down again, glanced at him indifferently, and asked: "Over the years, you have not made much progress in other areas, and your mind has become more and more confused... You don't even know his identity, where he lives, or whether he is married. Knowing that, you dare to marry Xiaoyi to him? "

"Is he already married?" Zhong Mingli's expression changed, he stood up suddenly and asked loudly.

"That's not true."

Zhao Zhijie shook his head, looked at him, and said, "Some time ago, there was a missing person case under my jurisdiction. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. But I didn't know that it was lost to your Zhong family."

Zhong Mingli breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "It's fine that we're not married yet."

Zhao Zhijie took a sip of tea, shook his head again, and said, "I just heard this morning. Some time ago, a young girl came to the county government office every day to inquire about him. You might as well take a guess, she is your uncle's wife. Sister or sister?"

Zhong Mingli slammed the table and said angrily: "Can you finish it in one go?"

Zhao Zhijie took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I have sent people to conduct a detailed investigation. Tang Ning, a native of Sujia Village, was supposed to take the state examination in September this year. Two months ago, when he went to the state city to register, He disappeared inexplicably and has not been heard from since. If you hadn't hidden your uncle so well and didn't even reveal his name, you wouldn't have found him until today..."

Zhong Mingli looked at him and asked, "His surname is Tang, why is he from Sujia Village?"

Zhao Zhijie put a few pieces of paper on the table and said: "His household registration is in Sujia Village. He was an abandoned child picked up by a farmer in Sujia Village seventeen years ago..."

Zhao Zhijie looked at him and added: "The farmer also has a daughter who grew up with him..."

He put down the tea cup, thought for a while, and said, "Let me guess, the two of them grew up together and must have been childhood sweethearts..."

"The farmer and his wife raised him up. After they passed away, the woman raised silkworms and spun silk, washed clothes for wealthy families, and provided him with education..."

"Although they were not married, it is said that the farmer and his wife raised him as an uncle from the beginning..."

…

"Are you done?" Zhong Mingli finished reading the household registration information in his hand, looked at Zhao Zhijie, and said, "Let's go now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked out the door and said, "Qing'er, take the tea away."

Zhao Zhijie looked at him and asked, "There's no need to burn bridges like this, right?"

Zhong Mingli looked at him and asked, "Are you here to see me having fun today?"

"You really guessed it right." Zhao Zhiye nodded, looked around again, and asked: "Where's Yuxian, why didn't you come out today? We haven't seen each other for a long time..."

"Why are you meeting! You called Yuxian too?" Zhong Mingli stood up and said angrily: "Qing'er, see you off!"

Zhao Zhijie frowned and said: "Zhong Mingli, you can't be like this, back then..."

"Back then, you had the nerve to mention that year!" Zhong Mingli raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "If it hadn't been for you..."

"If it hadn't been for me, would you have captured your wife in three days?"

Zhao Zhijie looked at him, shook his head and said: "Zhong Mingli, your biggest shortcoming is your mother-in-law and mother-in-law. You are undecided and have a vague attitude. It was the same then and it is the same now. If you had been more decisive, could Xiaoyi be forced to marry by Governor Dong? "

Zhong Mingli was speechless.

"If someone is not welcome, there is no point in staying here shamelessly..." Zhao Zhijie glanced at Zhong Mingli, picked up a wooden box on the table, and said, "This tea is good, I took it..."

Zhao Zhijie walked out of the room, Zhong Mingli ignored him, felt sorry for his tea leaves for a while, sat down again, rubbed his brows, and said with a headache: "Childhood sweethearts..."

…

Tangning noticed that the familiar feeling between him and Zhong Yi had returned.

She walked all the way back without letting go of his arm.

She turned to look at Tangning and asked, "Do you want Yaoyao to teach you martial arts?"

Tangning nodded and asked, "Is her martial arts powerful?"

"I don't know..." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "However, since we were young, as long as she was around, no one would dare to bully us..."

Tang Ning didn't know how powerful martial arts in this world were, but the scene of Tang Yaoyao jumping onto the courtyard wall with a single leap still deeply shocked him.

If you learn this trick, it will be easy to climb over eaves and climb over walls to pick flowers.

"I'm free anyway, so I might as well learn one more move from her to strengthen my body... Besides, learning some Kung Fu is a good way to be prepared, maybe it will be useful someday." Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "However, I can only practice during the day, not at night, otherwise I'll be hungry in the middle of the night..."

Zhong Yi looked at him and smiled, "It's okay, if you're hungry, I'll cook for you..."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Then it's settled..."

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "It's settled..."

Zhong Yi had a faint smile on his face. When he walked to the door of Zhong's house, he seemed to have made a decision. He took a deep breath, suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said, "Actually, I..."

Before she finished her words, there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind them.

Then there was a woman's slightly trembling voice.

"Brother Xiao Ning..."

Tang Ning turned around and saw the woman she had just met standing a few steps behind them.

The woman was wearing a cloth skirt with patches on the hem. Her face was pale, a sickly pale, with sweat on her forehead. It seemed that she had been running all the way here. Her breathing was a little rapid. She stood there, staring at Tang Ning blankly.

Tang Ning looked at the woman and asked in confusion, "Are you calling me?"

His voice was also trembling a little, because when he saw the woman, he felt a sense of familiarity from the depths of his soul, and when he saw her pale face, he couldn't help but feel a strong pity.

"There is a small scar on your left arm. You accidentally burned it three months ago." The woman looked at her, stretched out her left hand, pointed to a certain position on her wrist, and said with a smile.

Tang Ning's body shook slightly.

He rolled up the sleeve of his left hand. Above his wrist, where the woman's finger was pointing, there was a burn scar the size of a grain of rice.

The scar was very small. He accidentally discovered it when he was taking a shower a few days ago.

As if realizing something, Zhong Yi's face began to turn slightly pale.

The woman looked at him and continued, "There is a shallow scar the size of a copper coin on your right arm. You have had it since childhood."

Tang Ning did not continue to roll up his sleeves. The scar was almost at his shoulder. Although it was very shallow, it was still clearly visible.

Zhong Yi saw the answer from Tang Ning's face. She slowly let go of Tang Ning's hand and her face became even paler.

Tang Ning looked at the woman: "Girl, you..."

The woman looked at him, took a deep breath, smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Ning, I finally found you..."

After she said this, she breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground.

Tang Ning hurried forward, supported her, and said anxiously: "Girl, girl..."
