Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing returned to Jiangnan in a slow carriage.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng caught up with them on horseback and brought news that Zhu Mu had been kidnapped.
It turned out that many years ago, Zhu Ting had built a secret room for Hua Manlou's family. The secret room was used to store the national treasure of the Hanhai Kingdom, the Jade Buddha.
Twenty years ago, Hua Manlou's eyes were injured by the Iron Shoe Thief who stole the Jade Buddha from the Hua Family.
Now, the people who kidnapped Zhu Mu also wanted the Jade Buddha. They wanted Zhu Ting to tell them the location of the secret room.
Now, Zhu Ting had arrived at the Hua Family. Lu Xiaofeng received Zhu Ting's letter asking for help.
Instead, Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing missed the message because they left first. They just happened to be on their way back to Jiangnan with Lu Xiaofeng.
When they arrived at the Hua Family and met up with Zhu Fu, they knew that Zhu Mu's life was not in danger. Zhu Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.
When the Hua Family was in trouble, many of Hanafu's friends came to help. They were all famous and promising leaders of various sects. The Hua Family hosted a banquet to welcome them. Among them, there was a godly doctor called Song Shenyi. He was also a famous person in Jianghu.
When he heard that it was Zhu Qingqing who cured Hua Manlou, he praised Zhu Qingqing's medical skills. He asked Zhu Qingqing, "Niece, how did you cure him? Can you tell me?"
Although Zhu Qingqing was worried about Zhu Mu's safety, it was not something that could be solved in a short time. Since Song Shenyi asked, she naturally told him.
When he returned to his room, he saw Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng together.
When Lu Xiaofeng saw that Zhu Qingqing had returned, he was about to leave when Zhu Qingqing stopped him. "Uncle Lu, there's something I don't understand. Can you help me analyze it?"
Lu Xiaofeng said, "As long as you don't call me Uncle Lu, I can even help you ten times."
"Puchi!"
Along the way, Lu Xiaofeng felt awkward when he heard Zhu Qingqing call Hua Manlou, Qidong, "Big Brother" and call him Uncle Lu. However, Zhu Qingqing insisted that he was her father's friend and only called him Uncle Lu. Nowadays, he did not ask Zhu Qingqing to call him Big Brother or anything. Otherwise, it would be hard to argue with Old Zhu. He only asked her to call him by his name, Xiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng, or anything else. When he heard her call him Uncle Lu, he felt that he was very old.
"Okay, Lu Xiaofeng, Hero Lu, I want to ask, has this Song Shenyi always appeared in Jianghu with this appearance? Or does he often change his appearance? "
Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "What do you mean by often changing his appearance?"
"This Divine Doctor Song should be wearing a condom. Although Gao Ming's disguise is top notch, after wearing a condom, one can cry and laugh, but after all, it's not real skin and won't sweat. Moreover, it won't show on his face. "
Zhu Qingqing glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and saw him nod. She said, "Song Shenyi and I discussed Big Brother Qidong's eye injury and discussed the treatment. Song Shenyi is a medical person and was often excited, but his face did not change and he did not sweat at all. His excitement was not faked, so he must be wearing a condom. However, if he is … a friend, then why doesn't he see people with his real appearance? "
After listening to him, Lu Xiaofeng looked pensive.
After that, Lu Xiaofeng found an excuse to get close to Song Shenyi and remove his condom. Hua Manlou recognized him as the person who blinded him when he was a child.
It turned out that he was the Iron Shoe Bandit, and Hanafu had killed his brother back then. He wanted to steal the Jade Buddha so that his daughter could become the concubine of the Immensity Sea King.
In order to make him reveal Zhu Mu's location, he deliberately spread the news that he had caught the Iron Shoe Bandit and locked him in the woodshed.
Sure enough, he attracted someone to save him, but it was a dancer. It turned out that his daughter was the dancer who danced at the banquet for the sect leaders. In order to make Zhu Qingqing and the others release his daughter, the Iron Shoe Bandit revealed Zhu Mu's location.
When Zhu Mu was rescued, Hanafu and Zhu Fu discussed the marriage of Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing together. It just so happened that all the guests were there. It was a big scene.
In a hurry, Zhu Qingqing had not prepared a dowry, but Hanafu said that he did not care. After all, Zhu Qingqing had cured Hua Manlou's eyes. Moreover, in the jianghu, a person with excellent medical skills was someone who everyone wanted to please. All the sect leaders expressed their willingness to add to her dowry.
Shangguan Xueer extorted a lot of wealth from Huo Xiu and also gave a generous gift to Zhu Qingqing. She winked at each other and said, "You're so capable. You decided on a husband when you were eleven, and you married him when you were fifteen."
The two girls looked at each other and snickered. For a moment, they kept whispering to each other.
After Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing got married, they were naturally a loving couple.
Lu Xiaofeng still meddled in other people's affairs in the jianghu. He fell in love with various beauties, but in the end, he did not get married.
The relationship between the people of the jianghu and Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing could be said to be close or not. If Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing were in trouble, everyone would come to help. If their friends were in trouble, Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing would also do their best to help.
But in the end, Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing were people who did not like fighting in the jianghu. When no one came to find them, they just stayed at home. Their actions were like the couplet pasted on the door of their house: Unmoved by honor or disgrace, leisurely looking at the flowers blooming and withering in front of the courtyard; The clouds linger unintentionally, drifting with the clouds beyond the sky.
Hua Manlou and Zhu Qingqing were not very famous in the jianghu, but among the common people, they had reached the point where tens of thousands of people had started to worship them.
Not to mention the routine operations in bridge repair and paving, and not to mention that Zhu Qingqing's medical class had raised the current medical standards by several levels.
Zhu Qingqing came up with the idea, and Zhu Ting and Shangguan Xueer made it more labor-saving and produced more textile machines. Hua Manlou funded the establishment of the textile factory, which made the price and quality of Jiangnan's various fabrics far better than others. But Zhu Qingqing promoted this technique free of charge and bought large quantities of fabrics. She let them board the coal-burning ships that Zhu Ting spent three years to make and sell them overseas.
She also brought back high-yield grain from overseas to solve the problem of insufficient food.
The jianghu was still exciting, but the common people did not care.
They only thought about how to live, how to live better.
The Emperor in the imperial palace also issued a decree to reward the Hua couple. Hua Manlou and Zhu QingQing thanked the decree, but they still did what they had to do.
However, in this life, Zhu Qingqing only lived to forty-five years old. At forty-four years old, Zhu Qingqing's body suddenly took a turn for the worse. Neither her medical skills nor her inner strength could save her. Lingering in bed for a year, Zhu Qingqing felt that the time had come and said goodbye to her family and friends one by one.
In the end, Zhu Qingqing said to Hua Manlou, "Brother Qidong, tell me, I came to this world. It's a great fortune for me, but is it a good fortune for it? My coming to this world can make it better. "
Hua Manlou held Zhu Qingqing's hand and said, "Of course it's better. Your arrival is a blessing for me, and it is also a blessing for it. In thirty years, Jiangnan has become richer, and the Ming Dynasty has become stronger. Ten thousand countries have come. Listen, look, which commoner in this world is not grateful to you … "
Hua Manlou did not continue, because the listener had already left.
I thought that it was because I left before you, but who knew that you left first.
That's good, that's good. This way, you don't have to be alone in this world.
You and I agreed that if someone else went first, you would not commit suicide. It was a promise that I was much older than you, in case you took it too hard. Who knew that it would bind me.
It's so cold to be alone. This world seems to have lost its color.
It's so uncomfortable. I regret it. I shouldn't have made this promise.
However, Brother Qidong will definitely do everything he says to you.
It was a new life. Qingqing decided to study medicine well in this life. She only hoped that the situation in her previous life would not happen again.
However, in this life, Qingqing's mother passed away when she was one year old.
Before she passed away, she named her Qingqing. Her father's surname was Zhang. Hence, Qingqing was called Zhang Qingqing.
Zhang Fu remarried when Zhang Qingqing was five. It was not that Zhang Fu was deeply in love. It was not easy for a farmer to marry, and it was even more difficult for a widower with a daughter to remarry.
Hence, Zhang Fu sold Zhang Qingqing. Who did he sell her to? Who would want a five-year-old girl who did not know how to do things? Naturally, it was a brothel.
Zhang Qingqing …
Zhang Qingqing did not know what to say. Who would come first, tomorrow or tomorrow?
Could you expect the miracle doctor to die of illness? Could you expect a father to sell his daughter?
Live long enough and you will see.
In this life, Zhang Qingqing did not practice medicine as she wished. Instead, she learned to dance. It was an erotic dance.
Sigh, life is so difficult.
Fortunately, Zhang Qingqing was beautiful and had fair skin. She was also smart when it came to dancing. The brothel owner did not let her receive customers early.
Instead, she had a private room with her and even gave her an errand girl as long as she focused on training. She thought that when her period came, she could spend the whole city and earn mountains of gold and silver for her.
Although Zhang Qingqing was valued by the brothel owner and could practice martial arts in private, she was still too young. Her meridians were not fully developed, so she did not dare to practice her inner strength. She could only do breathing exercises, hoping that she would have more strength when she ran away. She missed the inner strength that she naturally had in her previous life. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why she died early in her previous life.
Moreover, there were gains and losses. Although she was valued by the brothel owner, she was also watched closely. Before she could step out of the inner courtyard, she was blocked.
After several probing, the procuress came to Zhang Qingqing: "Girl, after you came here, Mama didn't let you suffer for a day. Your father is a tenant farmer. He doesn't have half a mu of land. He sold you here to marry a new wife. He is not a person who cares about others. What good is it for you to follow him? "
As she spoke, she opened the wardrobe and took out an aqua green satin dress. "Look, look, this is made of satin. There are even embroidered stitches of flowers on it. It's all yours. Look, this wardrobe is all yours. Do you think you would have this in your house?"
Then she opened the eight treasure boxes on the dressing table. "Look, look, this gold, this silver, this jade. Have you seen them in other places?"
As she said, she put a hairpin in Zhang Qingqing's hair. "Girl, you look like this. You were born to use these men's money. You were born to eat this bowl of rice."
Zhang Qingqing rolled her eyes in her heart. But people under the eaves had to lower their heads.
She whispered, "Mother is right. I just want to see the outside. I was used to running around in the countryside. I was really confined."
The brothel owner thought that the little girl really liked to be lively. However, it was impossible for her to go out. She would not let her go out in this life. Did she really just want to see the outside world? Or did she want to run away? She spent a lot of money to raise this thing. If she did not make enough money, how could she be worthy of such a big investment?
"Silly girl, you don't know how hot it is outside. You are born with a good foundation. You can't spoil it. Otherwise, how can you look when you grow up? What do you want outside? Mother will buy it for you. "
Zhang Qingqing could only follow the brothel owner's words and said that she wanted a stick of sugar-coated haws.
Therefore, "both sides" of the conversation were satisfied. Zhang Qingqing became obedient. At this point, she got a stick of sugar-coated haws every month.
