Miss has always been very cautious when riding horses before, but today she is showing extraordinary courage.
"Liu'er, don't go..." Father Jiang chased after her, feeling extremely guilty.
He hadn't chased after her for more than a few steps when his daughter's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Liu'er, Liu'er..." Madam Jiang came looking for her daughter. Watching her daughter's departing figure, she was furious. "Alas, sir, how could you be so foolish..."
She had only spoken a few words to Madam Xu, so why did her husband make his daughter leave in anger?
"I'm getting senile, and I didn't mean to." Father Jiang truly regretted it; he shouldn't have said those things to Tang Yi, and he had made a fool of himself.
It's even more inappropriate to suggest that the daughter should go back with Tang Yi for the New Year.
...On the way home, the cold wind kept blowing.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba, driving the carriage from the front, were shivering and huddled up in the cold.
They gradually drove off Huaiyuan Street.
Qiu Yan, Gu Qian, and their second uncle were all inside the carriage.
Gu Qian leaned against the corner of the carriage, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
Qiu Dafu sat there in a daze, his mind filled with the word "scholar".
His mood returned to what it was before: the depression of loving someone he couldn't have.
He felt lost and listless.
"Second Uncle," Qiu Yan interrupted her second uncle's thoughts. "Good things come to those who wait, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Second Uncle knows."
"Wait..." A voice from behind interrupted the uncle and nephew's conversation.
Gu Qian lifted the carriage curtain and looked behind the carriage, only to see a beggar who had appeared behind the carriage at some point and was chasing after them from a distance.
This guy must be desperate for money.
He said, "Ling Qi, give him some money and send him away."
Qiu Yan glanced behind the carriage and said helplessly, "That damned Northern Qi army, they've torn apart so many families and turned so many people into beggars... Gu Qian, what did you do with those Northern Qi prisoners?"
"Kill him," Gu Qian blurted out.
These Northern Qi soldiers bullied men and women, causing many deaths among the people of Huaiyuan and plundering a great deal of gold and silver, behaving no differently from bandits.
Gu Qian hated robbers the most. If he didn't kill them, why keep them around for the New Year?
But, won't doing this scare Yan Yan?
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan remained unfazed and said, "You did the right thing. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."
Qiu Dafu remained silent, only turning around to glance behind the carriage, shaking his head, and then turning back around.
Ling Qi stopped the carriage, reached into his pocket, took out a money pouch, and tossed a few copper coins to the beggar behind him, saying, "Take this and buy some food."
Then continue driving.
But the beggar picked up the coin and continued chasing after the beggar, calling out, "Wait for me..."
Ling Qi frowned. "This beggar runs pretty fast."
Ling Ba glanced behind him and said, "Perhaps the Northern Qi army robbed our family of all their money, which is why they are chasing after us. Let's give them some more money."
Ling Qi nodded, then reached into his purse again and tossed a silver ingot to the beggar in the distance. "Stop chasing us."
The beggar bent down to pick up the silver ingot, then stood up and continued chasing. "Wait for me..."
Ling Qi was lost again, and the beggar chased after her again... until...
My purse is empty.
Ling Qi was getting impatient. "Is this ever going to end?" They really think they're gods of wealth.
He raised his whip, ready to gallop, but then heard Qiu Dafu say, "Ling Qi, stop the carriage."
Ling Qi stopped the carriage, then looked at the beggar with displeasure.
"Second Uncle, this beggar is very greedy. I gave him all the money I had, but he still won't leave me alone."
“He’s not a beggar.” He was a soldier of the Northern Qi army. Qiu Dafu couldn’t bring himself to say the last sentence.
