Chapter 1705 Opportunity (3)

When Qingshu returned home, he heard Kikyo say that Feng Yuehua sent someone to explain that the Rikka came. Since sending Aunt Xing away, the relationship between Gu Lin and Feng Yuehua has also eased.

Duan Xiaojin suddenly came over in the evening that day.

Qingshu thought he was for yesterday, but he didn't expect it was not.

Duan Xiaojin asked for something: "Sister-in-law, my father suddenly said this morning that he dreamed of his grandfather and grandmother last night, and then told us that he wanted to go back to his hometown. We advised him for a long time but he didn't change his mind."

Qingshu understood as soon as he heard this. It was probably because yesterday's words that made the master think about leaving the capital. It was impossible for the aunt to change her mind, and the only way to keep Duan Xiaojin's marriage was to leave the capital.

Qingshu said: "The master has been away from home for many years, and it is normal for him to go back to visit his parents' graves."

When I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestor Duan Xiaojin, I wouldn't stop him. He said, "Sister-in-law, the weather is so cold, so my parents' health should not be far away. I advise him that he would not be willing to go back again in the spring next year. Sister-in-law, my father listens to you the most, please help me persuade me!"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "You should know the master's character better than me. It's useless to persuade anyone to persuade him, so do I."

Duan Xiaojin explained: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want my father to go back to Taifeng County, but I just want him to go back after the spring is coming. And there is not much going on after the spring is coming, so I can ask for leave to send them back to my hometown."

Qingshu still refused. She thought it would be good for Aunt Duan to leave the capital for a while, otherwise Duan Xiaojin and Zhuang Wanqi would have to part with each other. If they really divorced, Duan Xiaojin would definitely not marry a good wife like Zhuang Wanqi.

Duan Xiaojin didn't expect that he would refuse and left disappointed.

Hong Gu said in confusion: "Madam, Mr. Duan is the same parents as my master, why is there such a big difference?"

His master is smart, wise and decisive, while the second master is indecisive and filial, and his adoptive mother leads him. It’s a pity for the second wife to marry him.

Qingshu shook his head slightly and said, "Long gave birth to nine sons, and nine sons are different. Not to mention him and the master, just say that Brother Fu and Yaoyao have completely different personalities."

Duan Xiaojin was abandoned when she was a child and then turned over by many people. In the end, she fell into the hands of the pervert of the Luo family and almost lost her life. This caused him to feel extremely insecure. Master Duan and Aunt Duan gave him a family, especially Master Duan felt so painful as his biological son, and he wanted to do his best to treat them well. Unfortunately, this was something she and Jingen realized later, and it was too late to help him correct it.

Master Duan is a person who will do his best. Since he decided to return to Taifeng County, no one could stop him. Aunt Duan cried for a day and didn't let him change his mind.

Although Aunt Duan was unwilling to go back to Taifeng County, she was not at ease when Master Duan went back alone, so she had to decide to go with him in the end.

Duan Xiaojin was worried, but he couldn't escort the person home by himself. There were only three servants in the family, and these three were still from Zhuang Wanqi's dowry, one did rough work, the other did pulp and wash work, and the other was Zhuang Wanqi's personal maid.

On the evening of the same day, Duan Xiaojin and Zhuang Wanqi said: "Wanqi, I want to invite two people to escort their father and mother back to Taifeng County. What do you think?"

Zhuang Wanqi naturally had no objection and said softly: "It's good that my husband decides."

Duan Xiaojin hesitated and said, "I gave all the money in my hand. Can you give me fifty taels of silver, my wife?"

Zhuang Wanqi looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "I only have more than ten taels of silver in my hand, and these silvers will have to be supported until you get your salary next month!"

These words are all excuses. Qingshu bought a 16-year-old betrothal gift for Xiaojin, and Qingshu bought all the good things. Zhuang Wanqi later got married. In addition to the dowry bought by Mrs. Gu and her parents, she was actually very rich. It was just that Aunt Duan's behavior made her feel very disappointed, so she held the money in her hands and was unwilling to take it out.

Duan Xiaojin smiled bitterly and said, "If it doesn't, I'll think of another way."

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Wanqi said, "However, I will use the jade bracelet given to me by my sister-in-law tomorrow, and I should be able to make it a hundred and eighty taels of silver."

Duan Xiaojin refused without thinking and said, "No, how can you be your dowry? Dad will leave Beijing the next day. I will find a friend tomorrow to respond to the emergency."

Is a hero who earned a penny? If it was just a family's food, drink, defecation, and urination, he would basically make enough money. However, Master Duan and Aunt Duan often had to take medicine when they were sick, which was a huge expense. Qingshu used to be supplemented, but Qingshu had no care since he got married, so he was under great pressure. Sometimes he thought it would be a good thing to have no children, otherwise he would feel that he could not bear it.

Zhuang Wanqi hesitated and said, "Husband, yesterday I went to Fu Mansion to apologize to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law told me that this opportunity is rare and I will never miss it."

She also felt that this opportunity was excellent. Giving up like this not only let her uncle down, but it may also be difficult for her husband to go further in the future.

When Duan Xiaojin saw her, he asked seriously: "Do you want me to go to Fuzhou?"

Zhuang Wanqi said with a nod, "Husband, I don't think your brother will let you take risks. Husband, I think you can go."

Duan Xiaojin said in a depressed voice: "But my mother won't agree."

If Zhuang Wanqi hadn't had this idea before, because even if Aunt Duan convinced Duan Xiaojin, she would not be able to go in the end. But now it is different. After Aunt Duan left the capital, she would not be able to control them: "Don't my parents go back to Taifeng County tomorrow? Let's go to Fuzhou when they leave."

Duan Xiaojin was shocked and said, "You want to go to Fuzhou with me?"

Zhuang Wanqi said: "Of course I want to follow you to Fuzhou. My mother kept talking about her grandson. I think she might be pregnant soon after going to Fuzhou and changing the environment."

"Fuzhou is very dangerous, you can't go."

Zhuang Wanqi naturally thought about this: "No, I live in Fuzhou City, and no matter how brave the thieves are, they will not be able to touch the city."

After pausing, he said again: "Husband, my brother has treated you well over the years. If you go to Fuzhou to help him, you can do your best for him."

Duan Xiaojin shook his head and said, "There are so talented people around me, I can't use mine."

Seeing that this made no sense, Zhuang Wanqi changed the statement: "Husband, my parents are in poor health and often take medicine. We are struggling to live, and it will be even more difficult to have children."

Duan Xiaojin was silent.

Zhuang Wanqi said: "Husband, my elder brother is now the general of Fujian. As long as you make contributions, you can be promoted. At that time, the salary will be too high, so we won't have to live so tight anymore."

"You allow me to consider it."

Zhuang Wanqi stopped talking after hearing this. As long as there was no mother-in-law disturbing her, she would be confident that she could convince Duan Xiaojin.
