Chapter 17 Absurd
Qin Ruizhi's head hurt so much that double images could be seen on a square booklet. She signed her name on it randomly, dropped her pen, and stumbled away. She even forgot that she came here on horseback.

Pei Xingheng looked at Qin Ruizhi's back, filled with joy. He looked at the booklet signed with Qin Ruizhi's name again and again. When Qin Ruizhi's back disappeared from sight, he put the booklet down, took out the short knife and cut the book. Split the folds.

When the seemingly square bookfold was opened, it turned out to be a piece of white paper, with Qin Ruizhi's name just written on the lower left corner of the white paper.

Pei Xingheng folded the white paper in half a few times, carefully put it into his arms, and waved to his personal attendant, "Guangshan..."

Pei Guangshan was serving porridge at the porridge shed not far away. When he heard the young master calling, he hurriedly handed the boy to his companion, rubbed his hands, and trotted to Pei Xingheng, "Master, what are your orders?"

Pei Xingheng took off the seal from the embroidered bag on his waist, handed it to Pei Guangshan, and said: "Guangshan, take my seal to the accountant and pay 5000 taels of silver to the eldest daughter of the Yan family. This is the gift that the Pei family gave to the Yan family at that time. .By the way, I would like to tell Mrs. Yan that I have followed her instructions and I hope she can keep her promise."

"Yes, little one, let's go now."

Pei Guangshan took the seal and was about to leave. Pei Xingheng pointed at the horse not far away and said, "Guangshan, that's Gaofu's horse. You can ride it back first, and treat it as the interest on the debt that Miss Qin has pledged to me."

"Yes!" Pei Guangshan rode Qin Ruizhi's horse back to Pei Mansion.

Pei Xingheng stood up, flexed his muscles with satisfaction, and felt comfortable. The eldest young master of the Pei family was ready to condescend and personally distribute porridge to the refugees.

Chai Pei walked slowly and leisurely, and when he saw the proud look on his face, he couldn't help but persuade him nicely: "Mr. Pei, I accept your kindness and allow me to stay in Pei Mansion temporarily. In this way, I also have a few heartfelt words to say to you. "

Pei Xingheng was busy rolling up his sleeves, "But it doesn't matter."

Chai Pei said: "Qin Ruizhi is a very special person. She dared to trick Su Pan into returning to Beijing secretly. She also dared to go to the Su Mansion in person to extort Mr. Su 1 taels of silver. She also went deep into the tiger's den and went to the Yan Mansion, forcing Mrs. Yan to come to the door to apologize in person. . With all this, no matter who she was, she would have died several times, but she was still safe and sound."

"Brother Chai, are you talking too much about Qin Ruizhi? From my perspective, she is just lucky. If not for her luck, she happened to meet you at Whirlpool Ridge, and she would have died there a long time ago. Besides, Mr. Su has a lot of , only by not having the same experience as a woman can she survive until now."

Pei Xingheng was noncommittal and felt that Chai Pei's worries were too unfounded.

"Mr. Pei, you requested Mrs. Yan, so you did things for her. However, Prime Minister Su is Prime Minister Su, and the Yan family is just an in-law to the Su family. Even if the Yan family intends to fulfill their promise, Mr. Su may not be able to fulfill your wish. Chai Pei cupped his hands and said, "That's it. It's entirely up to Mr. Pei to make the decision."

Pei Xingheng certainly understood what Chai Pei said, but the Pei family was now riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.

At first, they just wanted to climb the high tree of Prime Minister Su, so when the Su family came to borrow money, they readily offered 1 taels of silver without asking for anything in return. They just wanted Mr. Su to write a letter of recommendation and recommend the Pei family to go there. Guangli Tong Trading Company was opened in Kyoto.

Pei Chengyu went to Kyoto with Mr. Su's letter of recommendation, but a letter of recommendation alone could not make everything go smoothly, so Pei Xingheng needed the Yan family as a bridge to bring the Pei family and Prime Minister Su closer.

With an arrow on the string, there is no way forward and no way back. We can only take one step at a time.

Pei Xingheng was so angry and upset that he had no intention of serving porridge, so he returned to Pei's house first.

After sitting alone in the study for a long time, with the sun shining brightly and a lamp lit in the courtyard, Pei Xingheng picked up the letter home from his father. In the letter, he wrote that the establishment of Guanglitong Trading Company had encountered many obstacles and that he had spent thousands of dollars to manage it. Still no results, he needs to stay in Kyoto for half a year and is in urgent need of monetary support. I hope Pei Xingheng can take care of his family business in Puzhou.

Pei Xingheng put down the letter and wrote the loan deed on the white paper: Ruizhi, the daughter of the Qin family, borrowed 5000 taels of silver from Pei Xingheng, with an interest of 500 taels per month, and ordered it to be returned on time for a period of three months.

The signature in the lower left corner has already been signed with Qin Ruizhi's name.

................................................

………………………………………… Qin Ruizhi walked in despair, not wanting to reach the bank of Pushui River. Looking at the rushing river, she suddenly had an absurd idea: jump off and swim back to Xiangzhou. .

But what about returning to Xiangzhou?
Go and fight Gu Bingyi and ask him why he doted on his concubine and killed his wife, allowed his concubine to have her mother disemboweled to take out her son, and then killed her uncle to silence him?

If there is no result, if Fangu Bingyi still has some conscience, he will not cover up the murderer of her mother, and she will not be forced to flee to Xiangzhou, and then change her name to Yi and live a difficult life.

Gu Bingyi would only regard her as a stain and chop her to death mercilessly with a knife.

Can't go, definitely can't go.

Live well, return to Kyoto alive, and let Gu Bingyi pay for his debt with blood.

Qin Ruizhi is a very good identity disguiser. She has a group of high-ranking relatives in Kyoto, so she can justifiably return to Kyoto and start plotting.

You should go back to Gaofu and find Gao Zhiying and his wife to discuss returning to Kyoto.

................................................

The sun sets in the west, and the only ray of glow on the horizon is swallowed up by the night. Darkness covers the earth, from light black to intense black.

Qin Ruizhi lost his horse and had no choice but to walk back to the city. The distance from the Pushui River back to Gaofu was not short, and he walked for several hours.

After walking for a long time, I was angry and anxious, and felt very upset. I really don't know how she could be so confused and waste several hours walking to this damn place.

Fortunately, she was lucky. On the way, she met an old couple who went to the city to sell vegetables and gave them a lift back to the city.

It was late at night.

Just as I turned into the alley, I saw a person standing in front of me from a distance, holding a lamp in his hand, which cast a dim light in the dark night.

By the light, Qin Ruizhi recognized the man as Gao Lingchu.

He shouted in the dark night: "Achu!!"

Gao Lingchu's nerves were shaken, his face showed joy, and he ran over with a lantern, "Sister, you are finally back. I have been waiting here for two hours. If you don't come back, I'm afraid I will really have to guard you all night. .”

Qin Ruizhi looked behind her and found that Gao Lingchu was alone.

It was too dangerous for a girl to stand alone at the entrance of the alley.

"Achu, are you the only one?"

Gao Lingchu held Qin Ruizhi's arm and walked back slowly, while replying: "Originally, Xiaonian was waiting with me, but Azhou is back. She has been running more frequently at Yan's house recently, and her mother is very angry. , I am afraid that A Zhou will be punished, so I asked Xiaonian to go back first. If A Zhou is punished severely, come and inform me so that I can help you to beg for mercy and avoid some punishment. "
