A Qi

Aunt Mei had waited for this little ancestor here, and hurriedly led him to apologize to the distinguished guest of Huang Ya, "Master, Mr. Ling is here, let him play a little tune to relieve your fatigue, please tell me."

"Aunt Mei, you are not giving my Sun some face."

"Grandfather, where are you talking about? Anyone who comes to my Changchun courtyard, I promise to serve you comfortably."

"I didn't come here to listen to the actor playing a little tune." With a slap of both palms, two servants in the crowd carried a box and put it on the ground with a bang. Aunt Mei looked straight at the ingots of gold ingots.There are a few thousand taels to say the least, which is really generous.

"Aunt Mei, look, I don't know if my sincerity is worthy of you, the head of the Changchun Academy, to accompany me for a night."

Aunt Mei is an exquisite person. Although she is greedy for the gold ingot in the box right now, she also knows that Hua Ling is not an ordinary person. It is the limit to let him go out to play music and accompany drinks. The courtyard is messed up.Dazed for a while, smiling like a flower, her bright red lips opened and closed, and quickly smoothed things over, "Grandfather, you also know that it's hard to buy us Hua Ling, and it's already a risk for my Aunt Mei to let him come out to accompany guests." You're so brave, it's against the rules to spend the night with you."

"What a broken rule, I'm going to order him today!" Pointing at An Rong, he shouted at Aunt Mei.

An Rong has always been on the sidelines, and his aloof temperament is really not like the people in this romantic place, but he doesn't know that the colder his temperament is, the more possessive he is aroused by this old and rough guest, and he wants to get him.

Regardless, he stretched out his short, fat hand and touched the back of An Rong's hand. An Rong pulled away directly, with too much force, that Sun Huangya staggered a few steps back and almost fell down. Now he was completely angry. Sun Huangya was not happy after pushing and resisting, and now the young lady in the restaurant is still posing with him, burning with anger, raising a thick slap and wanting to slap An Rong's face.

It was too late to say it, but Ah Qi came to his senses and pushed him hard, Sun Guike landed on his ass, looking ridiculous.Aunt Mei was also dumbfounded. She didn't know how to end it, and she felt sorry for the ingot that she got in vain.

Aunt Mei pretended to be surprised and pityed, "Oh, hurry up, help Grandpa up." Pulling the handkerchief, she felt like throwing herself on him.

"Go away, bitch!" Pushing Aunt Mei away, she stared at Ah Qi fiercely.

Aunt Mei also saw that the nobleman's anger would not calm down for a while, and she had to find an outlet for him, so she spotted Ah Qi, who made him mess up when nothing happened.

"Grandfather, calm down. This disobedient tortoise-slave bumped into you. I will definitely punish him in a while. If you still feel angry, you can simply take him back to the house, vent your anger, and beat him up." My Aunt Mei will take care of her when she dies."

Ah Qi lost his soul, and sat on the ground limply. There was so much noise around him that he couldn't hear anything. He seemed to have forgotten what he did just now. The only thing in his ear was Aunt Mei's words—— My Aunt Mei will take care of her death.

He wants to make a lot of money. Today, he squeezed to the front to shine shoes for people and learn how to bark like a dog. He is all for money. How could it become like this.With just one last thought, Ah Qi raised his face and looked at the man in red. He just frowned slightly, took the handkerchief from Chunrui, and carefully wiped the hand that just touched Sun Guike. , wiped it around, threw down the veil, and left without looking at Ah Qi from the beginning to the end.The last hope was shattered...

How that incident ended, Ah Qi didn't want to think about it. He was beaten up in front of everyone by the people ordered by the madam, which was regarded as an explanation to Sun Huangya.

The injuries on Ah Qi's body were only a little better, but now he was beaten to the point of being paralyzed on the bed, and this time it was worse than last time.He didn't get the ingot, but he suffered such a severe beating, and the cold and heartless eyes of the man before he left, Ah Qi couldn't overlap with the warm young man who gave him the honey fruit in his memory.

Later Ah Qi figured it out, that person was so high above him that he couldn't reach him.Don't say that I just got beaten for him, even if I died for him, I'm afraid that person would not think highly of Ah Qi.From now on, just stay away from him.

It was Qiu Guan who came to bring him food every day. Ah Qi was very grateful to this little girl. In his ordinary life without love, fortunately there was someone who cared about him.

"Ah Qi, why are you always being beaten?"

Ah Qi lay on the bed, listening to the young girl's childish voice, smiled wryly: "Maybe God doesn't have eyes."

"Qiu Guan, you came here at the beginning of the year, right?" The voice was weak, without much strength.

"Ah."

"Why did you think of coming to this place?"

"My family is poor, and my father sold me here. He originally wanted to sell me to the Nightless City. Be a maid here."

Most of the people who came here came from rough backgrounds. Ah Qi had expected it long ago, but listening to her calmly narrate the past, her faint expression did not look like a 15-year-old child at all. She can feel it herself.

The little girl pursed her lips, and it took a long time before she continued, "You look like my second brother, and you have the same temperament."

After speaking, he ran away, and there was a bowl of hot porridge on the table, with a piece of white flour steamed bun on it, and the hot air rushed up, and Ah Qi felt like a cloud of warm smoke fainted in his heart.

Soon it was the fifteenth day of August, which was the day when Ah Qi and his family agreed to meet and give money.Ah Qi took out the wooden box hidden next to the pillow. There used to be a few strings of copper coins in it. These days, he also earned a lot of tipping money, and he managed to scrape together five taels.

Struggling to get up, turning over helplessly accompanied by huge pain, the kind that moves the whole body with a single hair, and struggled for a long time calmly, with sweat on the forehead and back, and finally had to give up, with eyes wide open He looked helplessly at the beams of the roof.

After a long time, Qiu Guan came to deliver food to him, Ah Qi saw some hope.

"Qiu Guan, quickly help me up."

"Your injuries are not healed yet, where are you going now when you get up?"

"Someone is coming to my family... I have to go to the agreed place to give them money."

"You tell me the location, and I'll send it to you."

"You don't know my brother."

Qiu Guan stopped talking, in fact, this girl was reluctant to run around while Ah Qi was injured, Ah Qi was very grateful for her kindness.

In the end, it was Qiu Guan who supported him, and almost all the weight of Ah Qi's body fell on Qiu Guan. Every step he took was very difficult, and his body was sweating again.

It took about an hour to walk cautiously and feebly before arriving at the agreed place.This place is not very close to Pingkangli, and it can be regarded as the most prosperous street in Guangling City. There are many teahouses and taverns, and street vendors are constantly yelling... The reason why Ah Qi chose this place was because he was afraid of meeting acquaintances and shaking his head. It happened that he was doing odd jobs in a brothel.He didn't want his family to know that he had always lied to them that he was an apprentice in the blacksmith's shop in Guangling City.

From a distance, he saw his elder brother standing under the teahouse looking around, his expression full of impatience.

Ah Qi quickened his pace a little, Qiu Guan supported him more carefully, for fear that he would fall.

"Big brother."

Turning around, unexpectedly there was another angry and resentful face, forehead twisted into the shape of "Chuan", gnashing teeth.

"I thought you were dead!"

This choked person's words don't look like a family member who hasn't seen for a long time, Qiuguan is young, and he can see that he is famous, and Ah Qi has a bad relationship with his elder brother.

"A while ago... I fell down, and my whole body hurts these days. I have been lying on the bed, and now I walked a little slower when I came here."

"After staying in this city for a long time, my body has become expensive. It's really hypocritical that so many things can happen after a fall."

Qiu Guan couldn't listen anymore, so he went to another place alone, away from the oppressive atmosphere for a while.

"What about the money?"

Ah Qi took out the small wooden box from his bosom, his elder brother's eyes were stunned, his eyes were full of greed, he hurriedly opened the wooden box, but only saw a few strings of copper coins and some broken silver, the total amount was only five taels , was furious in his heart, and thought, this kid must have hidden the money, and he didn't give it all to him.

"That's all, you sent the beggar. What about the other money, where did you hide it?" As he spoke, he went up and searched his clothes, inside and out, but he couldn't find the rest of the money, he was anxious , directly pushed Ah Qi to the ground.

Originally, he was still injured, but after such a vigorous push, Ah Qi felt his whole body hurt like a frame falling apart, and he couldn't even get up.Qiu Guan saw this from a distance, and rushed over quickly, and it took a lot of effort to help Ah Qi up.

When his elder brother saw this little girl appearing out of nowhere, he was even angrier. He felt that Ah Qi was trying to deceive him, not to mention hiding the money, and even brought a helper over.The eldest brother is like a father, if you don't teach him a lesson today, there will be no place for him as a big brother in his eyes in the future.

Seeing his elder brother rolling up his sleeves and gesticulating to hit Ah Qi with his hands, Qiu Guan's little girl looked like crazy at the moment, desperately protecting Ah Qi.But men and women, adults and children, the power gap between the two is too great, and the little girl was pushed aside in a short while.However, Qiu Guan showed unrelenting strength, rushed up and grabbed his elder brother's arm and took a bite. In an instant, there were two rows of small tooth marks on the arm, and blood was still oozing.

"Smelly girl, I will beat you together today."

Gradually, there was a large circle of people here, but no one came up to persuade the fight, they were all watching the excitement and it was not a big deal.

All of this fell into the eyes of An Rong who was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse drinking tea.It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Liang Rufeng and Yi Xun took An Rong to drink tea in the best-selling teahouse on Tongfu Street to reminisce about the old days. The three of them sat in the quietest private room on the second floor. In the private box, you can clearly see the people coming and going on the street below.

At this moment, Liang and Yi were talking, but An Rong's eyes were attracted by the farce on the road. The man was dressed in coarse linen and had already collapsed on the road in a state of embarrassment. He was covering his left arm with his hand. Maybe his left arm was injured. His appearance seemed to be extremely forbearing, he didn't know who the man standing and yelling was, but he recognized the little girl standing in front of Ah Qi, she was Qiu Guan from the restaurant.

The two people at the banquet also looked down at him, and Yi Xun raised the corners of his lips and joked, "Could it be that the younger sister wants to elope with a wild man, the older brother chases after him, and the younger sister protects her lover?"

"Hahaha Brother Yi, you have observed carefully."

Only An Rong said lightly, "No, I know that person." An Rong has become acquainted with the two of them these days, and no longer calls himself a slave, but usually calls himself "I". Which three rich and handsome noble sons are they?

"Oh?"

"In our restaurant, there is a turtle slave and a maid."

"Brother Liang, do you want to go down and take a look?"

This Yi Xun is a full-fledged dude, relying on his father's name, he is used to domineering in Guangling City, and now he has such a good opportunity to show his face, so why don't you hurry up and show it twice? Our Mr. Yi is gone.

"Okay."

The three of them went downstairs together, and a path was opened among the crowd. They were born nobles, and compared with ordinary people, they had more extraordinary bearing. The ordinary people's eyes were sharp, and they automatically gave way to these princes and nobles.

Qiuguan's little girl was still pushing and shoving with his elder brother, and now Ah Qi was not supported by others, so he couldn't get up at all, and just stayed where he was, and when he was in a hurry, he saw the three people.An Rong wore a moon-white dress today, she was personable, her brows and eyes were less charming than usual, and she was more elegant and handsome, like a man in a landscape painting.At that time, Ah Qi only had the words "beautiful city and country" pop up in Ah Qi's mind. It turned out that he was so good-looking in plain clothes.

Ah Qi just glanced at that person, then hurriedly lowered his head, he didn't really want to see that person, let alone let him see his miserable appearance.

His elder brother looked at the three people standing in front of him, they were not ordinary people, whether it was the material of the clothes or the clean and beautiful faces, they would not be ordinary people.The arrogance and arrogance just now disappeared consciously, and he stood there without daring to say a word.

Seeing that he had lost his momentum, Qiu Guan quickly helped Ah Qi up.Now Ah Qi could no longer pretend to be invisible, and greeted him briefly, "Young Master Ling", An Rong nodded as a signal.

Yi Xun felt that since Hua Ling knew this person, and Hua Ling was Liang Rufeng's favorite, he simply sold this young master Ling as a favor.

"what happened?"

As soon as Yi Xun opened his mouth, Ah Qi's eldest brother was startled. He didn't expect that his family affairs would provoke these three masters. Just now, Ah Qi called that man a young master. Obviously, they knew each other. It is even more important to realize this level. I was quite frightened.

Ah Qi bowed his head and said nothing, Qiu Guan also remained silent, but his eldest brother explained tremblingly that it was a family matter, and he came from his hometown to visit his younger brother.

"Is what he said true?" The voice was gentle and clear. In this crowded street, like a stream of clear springs, it poured into Ah Qi's heart. His face was moved for a moment. Those things that were afraid of him before seemed to follow. This simple sentence was gradually scattered in the wind.After all, you are a poor person struggling in the sea of ​​suffering. As long as others treat you a little bit better, your heart will immediately feel warm.

"Ah."

Hearing Ah Qi's reply, his elder brother's heart was hanging, and he quickly followed, smiling at the three fathers, "Look, I'm really his brother, I just came to the city to see my brother . ” A full-fledged villain.

His elder brother couldn't guess the identities of these three people, he only knew that they were not ordinary people. Seeing that Ah Qi still knew them, he couldn't help feeling that this kid was doing well in Guangling City, and now he was out of control. He started talking to himself, regardless of whether those three people ignored him or not.

"Our seven, in the blacksmith's shop, help others cast iron..."

"Brother, let's go."

Suddenly interrupted him, his elder brother was obviously not happy, An Rong's expression was a little gloomy, Liang Rufeng and Yi Xun didn't react at all, originally noble sons like them didn't bother to listen to what a common man was talking about.

"How did you go, the three fathers are still here..."

His elder brother didn't give up, and he still wanted to forcibly seek a relationship with someone.Ah Qi ignored his elder brother, looked directly at An Rong, said softly, "Thank you", and left.
