Ruins of the past

Hao Yongtai felt that the atmosphere between Chu Qiguang and Ding Daoxiao seemed a bit subtle, but he was worried that Chu Qiguang would suffer a loss, so he wanted to say something to adjust the atmosphere. Unfortunately, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and was not good at speaking. He didn't know what to say at the moment. good.

While Hao Yongtai was distressed, Hao Xiangtong walked into the hall with a smile, stood directly between the two of them, and greeted Ding Daoxiao: "Brother Ding, why are you here? We haven't seen each other for a while. "

As he spoke, Hao Xiangtong dragged Chu Qiguang away: "Chu Qiguang, who in Qingyang County doesn't know that Brother Ding is eager for justice and righteous, so you should have a better attitude."

Hao Xiangtong said to Ding Daoxiao again: "Brother Ding, don't mind. This stupid boy is just stupid. He didn't even ask for the money I gave him a few days ago. He can't speak beyond his head. He just says whatever comes to his mind."

Ding Daoxiao smiled peacefully and said: "Xiangtong, do you think your brother Ding is such a stingy person? We are all half family members, and we have to take care of each other in the future. We don't need to be so open-minded when talking."

He looked at Chu Qiguang again and said haha: "I like people who have something to say. If you need help in the future, come to me at any time. I'm optimistic about you."

Ding Daoxiao had a cheerful expression on his face, but his heart was filled with murderous intent: 'This guy is really good at stirring up trouble and making trouble... If he can't get his men, he must be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble. ’

Chu Qiguang on the other side also looked at Ding Daoxiao with a smile. He had suppressed the emotions in his heart and said enthusiastically: "Brother Ding, don't blame me. I just can't speak. I apologize to you here."

While handing over his hand, Chu Qiguang felt a chill in his heart: 'It was Ergou's memory that made trouble for me again just now. This Ding Daoxiao is really a worry for me, I must kill him. ’

The two exchanged pleasantries and soon became brothers, as if they had known each other for many years.

Hao Xiangtong on the side breathed a sigh of relief. She had been waiting outside the hall and wanted to come in when her father left. As soon as she came in, she saw Chu Qiguang and Ding Daoxiao looking tit-for-tat.

At this moment, she looked at Chu Qiguang and complained secretly: "This idiot... It's not easy to mess with anyone. Don't you know that he can kill him with just one finger?" Fortunately, I stopped you. Really... I won't be bullied to death for being so stupid. ’

Ding Daoxiao quickly made an excuse to leave, leaving only Chu Qiguang, Hao Yongtai, and Hao Xiangtong enjoying the banquet together.

During the dinner, Hao Yongtai told his sister about the method Chu Qiguang came up with. He praised him while talking, which made Hao Xiangtong secretly surprised: "This Chu Qiguang is also familiar with the county government's money and grain account books and document procedures?" This is usually not possible without a family background, right? But he is obviously just a farmer...could someone teach him behind the scenes? ’

After the banquet, Hao Yongtai wanted to take a rest and then practice martial arts, while Hao Xiangtong sent Chu Qiguang out. They walked to the pavilions and pavilions, talking as they walked.

Hao Xiangtong said: "Silly boy, when are you going to continue telling me stories?"

Chu Qiguang frowned, thinking that Hao Xiangtong was really rude. No wonder he was kidnapped to the grassland in the future. He must have offended many people with his words.

‘If I didn’t see you as a Taoist seed, I wouldn’t bother to care about you. Chu Qiguang coaxed with a smile on his face: "I've been too busy these days. When I finish the matter of equalizing taxes and servitude, I will definitely tell you more when I have some free time. Then I will break out and tell you. Talk all day long.”

Hao Xiangtong's heart moved when he heard this. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Chu Qiguang and thought: 'Don't you want to be with him all day? This fool... didn't do it on purpose? ’

But she really couldn't see any lewd, lustful or admiring expression on Chu Qiguang's face. She could only tilt her head and say: "Who wants to listen to you for a whole day? You have so much time, and I still want to get tired of hearing it." It’s over.”

'That's great. Chu Qiguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Hao Xiangtong turn his head with an impatient look on his face, he quickly said: "I know the road ahead. If you don't bother Miss Hao, you can send her away. You can hurry up and do your own thing." Go ahead."

Seeing Chu Qiguang saying hello and leaving in a hurry, Hao Xiangtong snorted: "Why does this fool leave just after saying a few words to me? What does he mean?" ’

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. On the way back to his room, Hao Xiangtong ordered the maid: "Dong'er, go to the Taoist temple and buy me a month's worth of body refining ointment. I will be practicing martial arts in seclusion this month."

Hao Xiangtong's maid was surprised: "Huh?"

"Ah what?" Hao Xiangtong snorted: "When I reach the second level of martial arts, I will beat up all the men who are in the first level."

…

Chu Qiguang walked out of the Hao family's door and thought in his heart: "If the Wu family, Hao family, and Ding family really do what I say, with their energy in Qingyang County and their reputation as teachers, they can stir up trouble." It won’t surprise anyone no matter how big the storm is.”

"Sigh, in fact, whether it is measuring acres of land or equalizing taxes, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. But although the policy is good, the people who implement it will consider the interests of their own families and fight in the name of promoting national policies. "

"Measuring acres of land was used to deal with Mr. Wu Ge, and equalizing demon wages was used to dismantle He Zhixian."

"State and family affairs are mixed together. It's strange that they can be handled well."

Chu Qiguang finally shook his head: "This is all a problem of the system."

After he returned to the courtyard, Qiao Zhi was the first to greet him and asked him how the situation was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Qiguang touched the cat's head, Qiao Zhi walked around him, sniffing his nose, and then said with a suspicious look on his face: "Huh? You have a problem!!"

"What happened? Was I drugged?" Chu Qiguang was slightly surprised and asked, "Is there someone following me?"

Qiao Zhi circled around Chu Qiguang and said with a solemn expression, "Why do you smell like a woman?"

Chu Qiguang: "?"

Qiao Zhi sniffed hard again, licked Chu Qiguang's clothes, and finally shouted: "It smells like rouge and gouache! Didn't you go to see Hao Wen and Hao Yongtai? Didn't you talk to them about things? Is it checked?"

"Goulan?" Chen Gang and the two younger brothers he brought here today immediately raised their heads, looking at Chu Qiguang curiously and excitedly.

Chu Qiguang waved his hand and said: "What a mess, this should be the smell of rouge and gouache on Hao Xiangtong's body. I met her today and said a few words to her."
