Chapter 272: question and answer

"You guys are so vicious, my husband just made a joke, and he was ruthless, woo woo..."

The woman cried miserably, as if she had suffered a lot, and threatened to ask the law enforcement team of the black market to deal with it. In the black market, outsiders are not allowed to disturb the order without authorization, otherwise they will be severely punished.

"???? Little lady, your voice sounds very familiar to me. We seem to know each other. We are old acquaintances..."

Ruan Pingzhi took out his folding fan from his sleeve pocket and waved it, "It's indeed our fault, but it's just a joke, it's harmless, why bother?"

People around??? frequently nodded in agreement, that is, if you meet an acquaintance in the black market, it is fate.

"??? This young man, do we really know each other? But I don't remember you."

The woman wiped her tears with a veil in the hole of the mask. It looked very funny. After a while, she took it out, and the white veil was stained with pitch black. Li Haitang almost laughed out loud. This is a smoky makeup. ?

"? It's normal that you don't remember. After all, the girls in Yihonglou receive so many customers every day, it takes a good memory to..."

Ruan Pingzhi bared his teeth and smiled, and the people around fell silent. It took a long time for everyone to understand that Ruan Pingzhi was calling the woman a contemptuous brothel, which was more serious than saying that Li Haitang had two husbands.

"??you…"

The woman almost lost her temper and kept crying, but Ruan Pingzhi replied calmly, "This is just a joke."

Do not do unto others as you would have them do to you, everyone can't say anything, but Li Haitang gave her a thumbs up, she was relieved, everyone said that scholars are gentle, pedantic, and don't know how to adapt, but her cousin is different, which makes her feel good about him. His impression got better.

I just don't know what the Ruan Mansion in the capital is like. Going back to recognize relatives is the last wish left by the Ruan family, and Li Haitang bite the bullet and has to fulfill it.

Right now, my cousin is doing well. If she helps him a little bit, the road back to Beijing will be smoother in the future.

There was still a long queue ahead, Ruan Pingzhi clenched his fists and looked nervous. He heard that those who were rejected would find it difficult to find opportunities in the future. He stayed in Licheng and delayed for a month. He really didn't want to return empty-handed.

"Well, I don't know if I can find my aunt. Her letter is vague, so I'm afraid I'll have to inquire." The border town is so big that it's hard to find someone in the subordinate villages. Fortunately, my aunt's surname is Ruan, which is not common. What Ruan Pingzhi is worried about is that his aunt Ruan has kept her name incognito. According to her cousin's birth year, she is also 15 or 16 years old this year. For a girl of this age, it is easy to deal with unmarried women.

Once married, it is even more difficult to find someone.

The daughter of a noble family who was supposed to grow up in Kyoto, because her aunt eloped, became a village girl in the village, one in the sky and the other in the underground.

When my aunt left home, she took some treasures with her. After so many years, there should be nothing left.

Occasionally, Ruan Pingzhi would think of this little cousin, whether his appearance followed his aunt's. He was still very young when his aunt left home, so he didn't have much memory.

However, the grandmother has a portrait of my aunt in her hand, which is very beautiful. If the cousin can have a bit of color like his aunt, he can bring people to the capital, find a nanny to teach etiquette, and find a good marriage.

Thinking of his own sister, Ruan Mianmian, who wants the wind to get the wind, wants the rain to get the rain, is pampered to heaven, and is a well-known daughter in Kyoto. As for the cousin, if she got married, she might be married to a mud leg, and she is worrying about the family's livelihood.

"Brother Ruan, find your cousin, if she is married, why don't you take her away?"

Li Haitang blinked, and before the other party knew her identity, she was busy making clichés.

Mother has not been in touch with Kyoto for more than ten years. Is it because my grandmother is not in good health and wants to see them?

It always feels a little strange to only let Ruan Pingzhi come to inquire, and not even let the servants contribute.

"It's definitely going to be taken away. At least half of the Ruan family's blood can't be left in the backcountry, right?"

Ruan Pingzhi shouldn't have told others about the scandal of the Ruan family, but when he asked for help, he always wanted to tell the truth and make the other party trust him, so he knew everything without saying anything.

Before he went out, his grandmother called him over and told a lot of secrets.

My aunt eloped back then, not with a poor scholar, but...

It's hard to say these things now, in short, his cousin is not a daughter with mud legs, but a real lady of the family.

Li Haitang lowered her eyes, her mother Ruan had contacted the capital more than ten years ago, so she didn't know there was her younger brother Li Jinhu.

Ruan, it's a bit complicated for this son, after all, she is a son of adultery, her blood and tears and shame.

But, so what? No matter what, Li Jinhu is Li Haitang's relative, and this cannot be changed.

Li Haitang was quite worried about his younger brother. After learning the truth, he quickly accepted the fact, fearing that something bad would be left in his younger brother's heart.

Ruan Shi and Li Dahe have the status of husband and wife, and there are many things between them that are hard to say. To blame, it was her own father who was not responsible.

Li Haitang thought a lot, and there were some things that she didn't have to avoid deliberately, and she had to face them sooner or later.

If he doesn't recognize Ruan Pingzhi, he can find out if he goes to the border town to inquire, so it's better to save the trouble and recognize him on his own initiative.

The line was shortening little by little. The people who came out of the house in front all sighed. It seemed that they hadn't succeeded. After waiting and waiting, it was Li Haitang's turn to enter the door, while Xiao Lingchuan was asked to wait outside the door.

The aroma of herbs floats in the inner room. When entering the door, there is a screen of landscapes, flowers and birds. Behind the screen, there is a table of eight immortals. There are several calligraphy and paintings on the wall, all of which are from famous masters. swaying from side to side...

"? Come here, what do you want?"

An ethereal voice rang out, no male or female could be distinguished, there was no wave, it sounded quite indifferent, without any emotional color, I heard that the rules here are strange, presumably the person who applied the medicine had a weird temperament, that's why we arranged such a A unique interview, those who are not pleasing to the eye, will not be given a chance.

"??? Naturally, it's the secret recipe for having children."

Li Haitang lowered her head and answered cautiously, but her heart was in a state of uncertainty and she had no idea.

For the so-called secret recipe, the medicinal materials must be very precious. In this case, it is better to hold an auction, and the highest bidder will get it. There is no need to talk about it so much.

The other party must not be short of money, and they are here to amuse people when they are idle.

"If you use this child's son in exchange for you not having another child in the future, will you agree to this condition?"

Of course she didn't agree, Li Haitang didn't want to lie, she was afraid that if she agreed, the other party would force her to drink some medicine. The black market is too evil, she refused very decisively, and explained the reason, and she came to help herself, and she herself has no idea about having children, and it is best to have sons to inherit the incense, and she doesn't force it if she doesn't have one.
