I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 55

Yan Ruyu looked at the standing and kneeling people with great interest, and was very interested. The girl who had been on his mind for more than a year turned out to be an interesting person, so how could he not want to.

Zhijin shook her head gently: "Since I have already returned it to you, I will not take it back. But if you are willing to follow me, I can hire you."

"Hire me?" Qi Zhen was surprised. Everyone in this world is looking for profit, even pennies and pennies, but this girl didn't want the contract of prostitution, but wanted to hire herself.He was just a lowly person who had been betrayed several times, but unexpectedly met such a person in his lifetime.How could he make her look at him differently? Qi Zhen was very excited, and nodded heavily, "I am willing, I am willing."

Zhijin nodded in satisfaction, and ordered Yueban to find a place to discuss with Qi Zhen.

"Miss, please stay..." Seeing that she was about to leave, Yan Ruyu hurriedly asked to stay, "Miss is righteous, do you want me to entertain you?"

Zhijin looked at the man who was really like jade, and shook her head slightly, "There is a difference between men and women, please leave." Saying this, she left slightly blessed.

It's a pity that Yan Ruyu couldn't recover from standing there for a long time. I heard that she was engaged to Qin Jin.

"What is Ruyu looking so fascinated by?" Princess Yu looked over, only seeing Zhijin's back. It turned out that her son had enlightened, but she didn't know whose girl it was.

Here Zhijin and others entered an inn and asked for a room. Qi Zhen bowed down again, thanking Zhijin for saving his life.

"My sister is kind enough to save you." Xie Zhihang couldn't help muttering about the 100 taels of silver.

Qi Zhen nodded yes.However, Zhijin asked with a smile: "I don't know how profitable the Defeng Restaurant that Brother Qi was in charge of before?"

Just as Qi Zhen was about to speak, Yue Hui cut in quickly, "Miss, I don't know, this Defeng restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the capital, and the shopkeeper Qi is even a celebrity, but it's a bit surprising that he has ended up in such a situation today. "

Zhijin was overjoyed, the purpose of her coming out this time was to buy someone, and it was a good thing that she accidentally saved Qi Zhen now.She has always wanted to put the money in her hands back, buy some property, and avoid sitting on the mountain. Now that there is such a person who can be used for herself, it would be a waste if she doesn't use it.

Xie Zhihang, who has always complained a bit, is also a smart kid, and now he has figured it out, looking at Zhijin with sparkling eyes, full of admiration.

She is really a child, Zhijin shook her head helplessly, asked Qi Zhen to sit down, and then ordered Yue Ban to invite the doctor, then Qi Zhen said: "I am a boudoir girl, and it is inconvenient to show up for some things, I wonder if Big Brother Qi is willing to help me run away?" Running errands?"

Qi Zhen stood up with support, with respectful eyes: "The kindness of saving life is unforgettable. If you have an order, you can just say it directly. It is not easy to get my cheap life back. From now on, I will serve you."

"Well, since I appoint you, I will trust you." Xie Zhijin took out 2000 taels of silver bill and handed it to Qi Zhen, "Take out 100 taels to treat the injury, and the rest will help me make money. Of course, it is for business. In addition, help me buy some reliable servants, four maids, and four wives."

"Sister!" Xie Zhihang was a little dissatisfied, they just met this person, how could my sister trust him so much, and gave him the 2000 taels of silver.

Yue Ban was also worried and looked at her anxiously.

Xie Zhijin gave him a reassuring look, then turned to face Qi Zhen's surprised and disbelieving face, and said firmly, "I believe in Brother Qi's character and intelligence."

Qi Zhen was very grateful. After living for so many years, he would be so trusted by others. He got up and knelt down on the ground, and swore in a hoarse voice: "I, Qi Zhen, swear to God, I will definitely serve the girl in the future. If I am sorry for the girl Doing so will be condemned by God.”

This is a heavy oath, Yue Banye and Xie Zhihang are also surprised.But when they thought about Qi Zhen's reputation in the capital, they couldn't help admiring them, and felt relieved.

Yue Hui came back with the doctor soon, Zhijin and Qi Zhen made a hasty appointment to reunite, and took Zhihang away.

After returning to Xie's mansion, it was already nightfall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a servant girl rushing over, "My lord, the old lady can't do it anymore."

The old lady is dead?

Xie Zhijin reacted for a while before realizing that Mrs. Xie was dying. She had no feelings for this grandmother whom she had never met, but Xie Zhihang did not.

Before Xie Zhijin entered Xie's mansion, Mrs. Xie was the only one who treated him well, and Qiao's biological mother never cared about him.In the past ten years, if Mrs. Xie hadn't been protecting him, Xie Zhihang himself would not have been sure how many times he had died.

"Grandmother has always been in good health, why is it suddenly not working?" Xie Zhihang was still a child at heart, and tears fell down at that time, pulling Xie Zhijin and saying: "Sister, let's go see grandma."

Xie Zhijin had no choice but to follow.When they arrived, Xie Yuanzhou, Qiao Shi, Zhao Shi, Xie Zhimian, Xie Zhisong and others had already arrived, kneeling in front of Mrs. Xie's bed, weeping.

The two of them came last, Xie Zhihang cried and rushed over, "Grandma, what's wrong with you, you were fine yesterday, what happened today?"

Xie Yuanzhou was originally heartbroken because of his mother's illness, but seeing the siblings suddenly became angry, he stood up and kicked Xie Zhihang: "You unfilial son, your grandmother is seriously ill and wants to go out to play, see if I don't beat you!" kill you!"

"Stop..." Mrs. Xie, who was already in a coma, opened her eyes with a sigh of relief, and looked weakly at her grandson who was beaten by Xie Yuanzhou and didn't dare to utter a word, "Zhihang, come here..."

"Nizi! Don't get over here." Xie Yuanzhou couldn't bear his mother's sadness, but he still kicked Xie Zhihang in the abdomen. Xie Zhihang was kneeling and crawling towards the bed, but Xie Yuanzhou kicked his head hard on the side of the bed.

"Zhihang!" Xie Zhijin was furious, this Xie Yuanzhou is really hateful, and she didn't shy away from it in front of the old man. She rushed to support Xie Zhihang, and seeing that his forehead was bleeding, she couldn't help being annoyed, "Zhihang is also your son, isn't it? Is this how the Xie family treats their heirs?"

Xie Zhisong, Xie Zhimian and the others on the side only cared about the good show. They naturally knew how much their father hated the siblings. They gloated and watched, but knelt there and pretended to cry.

Xie Zhimian wiped his eyes, looked at Xie Zhijin with resentment and said, "Grandmother is already like this, so why bother my sister?"

Xie Zhisong also poked his neck at the side and scolded angrily: "It's fine that big sister doesn't like us on weekdays. On such a day, can't grandma be clean?"

What a loving father and filial son.

Xie Zhijin sneered in her heart, this Xie Mansion is really powerful.On the contrary, the younger brothers and sisters who came from the concubine spoke harsh words to the older sisters and brothers who came from the concubine, and showed no respect.This Xie family is their world, so they are naturally not afraid of things getting out.It's just that she and Xie Zhihang don't look like members of the Xie family anymore.

Zhihang didn't refute, and crawled to the bed crying, holding Mrs. Xie's hand, crying: "Grandmother, what's wrong with you, don't scare Zhihang, Zhihang can't live without you, grandma."

Mrs. Xie opened her heavy eyelids, held his hand tightly, slipped a key into his palm secretly, and said: "Good boy, from now on grandma is gone, you have to protect yourself..."

Hearing this, Xie Yuanzhou was a little displeased with his mother's words, and frowned, "Mother..."

Mrs. Xie, who was lying on the bed, sighed secretly in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Okay, you all go out, Zhijin stays."

"Mother!" Xie Yuanzhou was surprised, and couldn't help exclaiming, why did mother leave this bastard alone?Could it be that all those private houses of her old man were left to this bastard?

Mrs. Xie closed her eyes tiredly, "Go out."

Mother's order must not be violated, Xie Yuanzhou gave Zhijin a hard look before going out, and beckoned his children to go out.

Xie Zhimian's eyes rolled around, looking back and forth between Zhijin and Mrs. Xie, the resentment and dissatisfaction in his eyes were clearly revealed.

"They also go out and close the door." Mrs. Xie said to Madam Wu who was waiting by her side.

Nanny Wu is the dowry of Mrs. Xie. She has served Mrs. Xie for many years, kicked out all the little girls, and guarded the door by herself.

"Zhijin." Mrs. Xie opened her eyes, and there was not much expression in her cloudy eyes.The illness came suddenly, but it was like spinning.I was in good health before, but I suddenly fainted this morning. The doctor just shook his head after seeing it.

"Yes, grandma." Zhijin looked calm, not sad.To this grandmother it was as if she was just looking at a stranger.Of course, because the old lady took good care of Xie Zhihang in the past, she would not anger the old lady by revenge.

Mrs. Xie sighed leisurely, "Such a good child, how wonderful it would be if it were the daughter of my Xie family."

Xie Zhijin was shocked, and looked at Mrs. Xie in shock, her heart beating restlessly.

Isn't she a child of the Xie family?

Xie Zhijin was surprised, but she saw the answer in Mrs. Xie's determined eyes.She is really not a child of the Xie family.

Her body went limp, and she slumped on the ground decadently, as if everything had been answered.

No wonder I was thrown away when I was just born, because her existence was a shame to the Xie family. How could Xie Yuanzhou court officials tolerate the existence of such a stain on her.

He was so lucky that he didn't die, and because of some fate, Xie Yuanzhou had to recognize Xie's family.It's no wonder he's willing to be kind to himself.

Thoughts tossed, Zhijin suddenly felt relieved.No wonder Xie Yuanzhou was so resentful towards Mrs. Qiao that he even put her under house arrest in the inner courtyard.The most important thing for a man is his face, how can he not hate being cuckolded by his wife.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuanzhou's series of behaviors also had a basis, and Xie Zhijin looked up at Mrs. Xie again and understood that the old lady refused to see her for more than a year, probably because of this.

Mrs. Xie has lived at this age and has seen through many things. When she saw the girl in front of her, she thought it through in a flash, and then she said: "I don't have much time, I just hope that you can protect Zhihang in the future. He It is the flesh and blood of the Xie family."

Zhijin looked at her, and asked suspiciously: "It's easy for my father to ignore me and even hate me. Why is he doing the same to Zhihang?"

Mrs. Xie felt uncomfortable, coughed a few times, and continued: "Your father always thought that none of your siblings were his children. But I know that Zhihang is your father's child. But he doesn't believe it..."

Zhijin understood, and smiled bitterly, "Zhihang is my younger brother, and I will definitely treat him well, but my strength is meager, I'm afraid..."

"Alas." Mrs. Xie was extremely tired, and waved her hand, "Go out." She seemed unwilling to say any more.

Xie Zhihang is Xie Zhijin's younger brother, it is impossible for Xie Zhijin to ignore him.Is this Mrs. Xie calling her here just to tell her that she is a bastard, so don't feel resentful towards Xie Yuanzhou?
She still wanted to ask some more about her life experience, but Mrs. Xie had already closed her eyes.

Nanny Wu opened the door and said respectfully, "Please, girl."

Two days later, Qi Zhen delivered the servant girl he bought, and before everything was settled, someone came to tell that Mrs. Xie had passed away.

Xie Yuanzhou was worried at home because of his mother's death.The wives and children also keep their filial piety at home and are not allowed to go out at will.

Half a month later, Xie Yuanzhou called off the marriage for Xie Zhijin on the grounds of keeping his filial piety, and on the grounds that the eminent monk of the Reclining Buddha Temple asserted that the Qin and Xie families were not suitable for marriage.

The head of the Qin family, Qin Yang, angrily accepted the divorce.
