"Oh, it's Madam Rong." Madam Qiao exclaimed in surprise and delight: "This must be our new top scholar, Master Rong."
She looked him up and down and nodded with satisfaction.
"Did you see this red rope fall into Master Rong's hands just now?" she asked hypocritically.
Qin Nanjing's mouth twitched, and she responded appropriately: "Maybe your daughter didn't hold the gold firmly..."
She pulled Rong Yubai to her other side.
Seeing this defensive action, Mrs. Qiao smiled awkwardly, "Mrs. Rong, please go first."
Qin Nanjing nodded slightly, took Rong Chaoxi's hand and went to the Moon Temple.
Mrs. Qiao followed half a step behind and talked to Qin Nanjing.
Qiao Jiaojiao pushed Yan Zhu to the back, followed Rong Yubai, and kept asking questions.
Rong Yubai responded politely one by one.
"Brother, hug me." Rong Yubai could still bear it, but Rong Chaoxi couldn't.
Rong Yubai picked her up and the little girl faced Qiao Jiaojiao.
"Sister, your chest doesn't hurt anymore?" Rong Chaoxi asked in a milky voice.
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned when she heard this.
Meeting Rong Chaoxi's cunning eyes, she subconsciously covered her chest and took a half step back.
Last year, she deliberately approached Gu Lin, and the memory of being teased by Rong Chaoxi and Rong Xuqing came flooding back.
I almost forgot, this little guy is not just a little cutie.
The group worshipped the Moon God, calculated their marriage plans, and interpreted the fortune sticks one after another.
Mrs. Qiao and the master who interpreted the fortune looked at each other and nodded.
"This young man's marriage line is weak..." The fortune-telling master stroked his beard and sighed meaningfully.
Qin Nanjing's heart suddenly tightened. It was just as Chaoxi said!
"However, the fortune tells us that if you find a girl born on the third day of the second month of the Yiyou year at the hour of Chen, you can break your fate of a life of loneliness."
The fortune teller spoke so seriously that Qin Nanjing remembered this birthday firmly, thinking about going back to check on the noble ladies in the capital...
Suddenly I realized something was wrong: Why does this birthday seem familiar?
The next moment, the fortune teller said, "This girl's birth date and time are indeed compatible with this young man's. If they are to marry, they will enjoy prosperity and happiness for the family."
Qin Nanjing's face darkened when he heard this.
No wonder it looks so familiar, isn’t this Qiao Sisi’s birthday!
It’s also Qiao Jiaojiao’s.
Mrs. Qiao looked at the signature in her hand in disbelief, the joy on her face was beyond words.
"Madam Rong, I never thought we would be together. I guess it was the Moon Goddess who brought the red thread into the hands of the two children..."
Qiao Jiaojiao also looked at Rong Yubai shyly again and again.
Rong Yubai: “…”
Qin Nanjing: "..."
Yan Zhu: “…”
"Ma'am, do they think we're stupid?"
Too many coincidences are deliberate, Yan Zhu is well aware of this.
Besides, they were obviously doing it on purpose.
Qin Nanjing looked at the two people who were immersed in the "fate talk" with a speechless look.
He had come here with high hopes to seek marriage, but after the mother and daughter of the Qiao family got involved, Qin Nanjing felt that it would be better to let her son go with the flow.
Perhaps because of Qin Nanjing's perfunctory attitude, the Qiao mother and daughter disappeared during lunch.
"When we came here, we saw a peach forest. It's the season when the flowers are in bloom. Let's go and take a look..." Qin Nanjing smiled, added incense money to the temple, and then walked down the mountain with a few people.
There were not many people coming to the peach forest, only groups of three or four women in the flower forest.
The peach blossoms are light and deep, like evenly-done makeup.
Rong Chaoxi made a wreath and put it on Qin Nanjing's head. Suddenly, a cry for help came from a distance.
"I'll go and take a look..." Rong Yubai said.
"I want to go too." Rong Chaoxi stretched out his hand.
Rong Yubai held Chaoxi in his arms and followed the sound into the depths of the peach forest.
A deep pit appeared in front of us, and the sound came from inside.
As soon as he got closer, Rong Chaoxi quickly raised his hands to block Rong Yubai's eyes, "Brother, you can't look at her. She's trying to scam you!"
The person in the pit was Qiao Jiaojiao, who had not been seen for half an hour.
There was water in the pit, and Qiao Jiaojiao was now soaked all over. Her thin spring shirt was clinging to her body, revealing her porcelain-white skin, making her entire figure vaguely visible.
The puddle should be used by farmers to store water for nearby farmland. It is not deep, but the inner wall is smooth, and it is difficult to climb out if you fall into it.
I don't know how Qiao Jiaojiao got into this situation? Where did her mother and maids go?
"Master Rong, please save me..." Her voice was trembling, weak and gentle.
Although there was some mud on her face, her delicate makeup and gorgeous hair were not messed up at all.
Her rosy face and peach blossom makeup, coupled with her slightly red eyes, really make people feel pity for her.
But she met a few straight men.
Rong Yubai's quick glance was blocked by Rong Chaoxi, so he didn't see clearly.
He simply turned around and said, "Tang Yi, Zhou Ba, rescue the people."
“Ah…?” Tang Yizhouba glanced into the pit and covered his eyes.
"No, sir, that young lady looks...it's not appropriate for us to save her..."
If someone saw this, he would have to marry her!
Neither of them wanted to save anyone.
"I'll go call the lady over..." Only with the presence of female relatives can the young lady's reputation be preserved.
"No, no, I'll do it, I'll do it..." Before Tang could lift his foot, Rong Chaoxi clapped his hands excitedly.
After confirming that there was no one around, the little guy waved his hands to the left and right and said softly, "Get her up."
Just as he finished speaking, a sparse sound suddenly rang out, like leaves rubbing against each other, or a long snake crawling.
Qiao Jiaojiao instantly revealed a look of fear, "Snake! There seems to be a snake, Master Rong, please save me..."
Hearing the sound, it didn't seem like a snake. Tang Yi and Zhou Ba immediately looked around vigilantly, "Master, let's go quickly. It seems like there are a lot of snakes coming over here?"
"Master Rong, please save me..." As the voice got closer, Rong Yubai didn't seem to want to care about her, so Qiao Jiaojiao stopped pretending to be weak.
He dug his long nails into the soil and used his hands and feet to try to climb out of the deep pit.
But the edge had been compacted and smoothed, and without a grip, she couldn't get up at all.
She was crawling out in panic, begging Rong Yubai to save her, looking so miserable.
Rong Yubai knew that it was Chaoxi who made the sound, and he was not panicked.
He lifted the little guy in his arms and said slowly, "Miss Qiao, please wait a moment. We will go find some people to come over."
At this moment, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out.
They all had frowns and looked ferocious, and it was obvious that they were a group of gangsters in the underworld.
"Who are you?" Tang Yi stood in front of Rong Yubai.
The leading man ignored them and observed the three people while muttering softly, "A fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid, this isn't the way to do it..."
"He's a guard, so he's dressed normally, not like this..."
Finally, he turned his gaze to Zhou Ba, "Are you Zhou Ba?"
"Are you here for me?" Zhou Ba opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Someone paid money to buy your life, today is the day you die!" As he said this, the big man was about to wave his hand and lead his men to charge.
"etc!"
"etc!"
Two "wait" interrupted him.
