Chapter 167 The Man Who Came to the Door
The next day, an unexpected person came to the Cui family in Huaihua Lane.
Jing Wei asked along the way and found Huaihua Lane.
Fengxing Trading Company also has his share. In addition to being responsible for escorting the convoys, the company will also look for him when there is something going on. So these days, except for a half-day break the next day, the rest of his time is firmly tied to his own warehouse.
So he hadn't seen Cui Qingyi for more than ten days.
Originally, he should have left Dongping County with the business yesterday, but he thought that after all these years of traveling far and wide, he finally met someone he loved, and it would be a pity to miss him/her, so he let the people from the business go first and stayed behind.
The owner of the trading company was his sworn brother. When he heard that his brother had fallen in love with a woman in this small county town at first sight, although he did not understand, he still expressed his support.
"Since she's so popular with you, she must be a very good girl. So you should stay for two days and make arrangements with her before catching up with her."
Jing Wei smiled and nodded: "She is indeed a good girl."
The fact that he was able to open a girls' school and pass on his skills to more people speaks volumes.
Jing Wei received a lot of ambiguous looks along the way. When the aunties sitting under the locust tree at the door heard that he was going to Cui's house, they looked at him so hard that they almost stared holes into him.
Jing Wei was very glad that he shaved before going out today, otherwise he could hardly imagine what a bad image he would have in the eyes of these people.
But Jing Wei could feel that Cui Qingyi was quite popular in Huaihua Lane. Although these aunts and sisters were gossipy, they were obviously wary of him.
After finally dealing with the questioning of these aunts, Jing Wei finally found the door of the Cui family. Before he knocked, the door of the house opposite opened.
Qiao Yishi was just about to open the gate and drive the carriage out when Konjac came over last night and said that they were going to take a look at the fields outside the city today.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a strange man lingering in front of the Cui family's door, and Qiao Yishi became alert instantly.
Cui Qingyi and Konjac kept their past a secret and didn't reveal a single word to the Qiao family, but Qiao Yishi learned a lot from Cui Qingyi.
Cui Qingyi was very clear about Konjac's desire to protect herself, but Cui Qingyi always felt that humans were complex and contradictory animals.
As the saying goes, a couple can be as close as they are to each other. When their relationship is sweet and harmonious, everything is easy to talk about. But they are afraid that their hearts may change. At that time, even the smallest things that were hidden before marriage may cause a rift in their relationship.
Sometimes people's hearts are so dirty that they have no bottom line. Cui Qingyi has been married and divorced before. Even though it was not her fault at all, this era will blame all the responsibility on her.
Even the people around her will be criticized because of this matter. Rather than letting the matter between her and Konjac be brought up in the future and upset the Qiao family, it is better to let Qiao Yishi know in advance.
If Qiao Yishi had other ideas, she could prepare in advance.
Fortunately, Qiao Yishi's performance did not disappoint her.
In fact, compared to the reputation of the two, Qiao Yishi was more worried that Cui Qingyi's short-sighted ex-husband's family would suddenly come to their senses and come back to harass Cui Qingyi. According to how much Konjac cared about Cui Qingyi, if Cui Qingyi still had feelings for that man, Konjac would definitely follow him.
Where will he find such a good wife then?
Therefore, when he saw Jing Wei, Qiao Yishi immediately sounded the alarm in his heart.
Could it be that the family is chasing us?
Jing Wei has traveled far and wide, experienced countless battles, and has a keen sense of danger.
He knew at first sight that this person was hostile to him. Could this person also be Miss Cui's admirer?
I have to say that the brains of these two people are more or less different from ordinary people.
Qiao Yishi spoke first, his tone not so friendly: "Who are you looking for? If you have nothing to do, don't sneak around in front of other people's doors."
The implication is that if there is nothing wrong, just leave quickly.
Jing Wei raised his eyebrows. He had never been associated with the word sneaky in his life. He had been glorious in the past.
Although he is now just the head of an escort agency, few people dare to speak to him in this tone.
But he came here today to express his feelings to Miss Cui and did not want to conflict with irrelevant people.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Jing Wei ignored Qiao Yishi and knocked on the door.
At this time, the Cui family had just finished breakfast and was preparing to go out.
When they heard the knock on the door, they both thought it was Qiao Yishi, and Konjac ran to open the door.
Neither of them noticed that Black Tooth, who was leisurely waiting for his owner to put a sling on him, followed Konjac out.
This is a sign of a stranger.
Seeing Konjac open the door, Qiao Yishi stepped forward to stand in front of her, and Heiya quietly followed behind the two of them. Although it was not as good as Shufeng, it inherited the appearance of the wolf clan to the greatest extent.
But it wasn't until the two brothers separated that Black Fang's personality traits were fully revealed.
Like Wangcai, it doesn't like to use roars to intimidate its opponents. More often, it prefers to use its sharp teeth to make the enemy retreat.
Following behind the master is not because of cowardice, but to ensure the hit.
Jing Wei knew Wangcai, but he didn't expect that the Cui family actually had another big dog. And just looking at this guy's slightly hunched back, you could tell that he was not a simple character.
Although helpless, but also afraid of causing more misunderstandings, Jing Wei could only quickly explain his intentions:
"Miss Cui, are you here? I'm Jing Wei, the escort leader of Fengxing Trading Company. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Konjac had only met Jing Wei briefly before at the Girls' School. At that time, the man still had a beard and looked unkempt, which was quite different from his current appearance.
But when he mentioned Fengxing Trading Company Konjac, I knew who he was. I didn't know why he came suddenly, but this man had brought Mao Lin and Mao Ya back before and also hired a doctor for them.
Konjac felt that the people of Fengxing Trading Company were not bad. They came here so early in the morning, so it must be something very important. Could it be that they wanted to discuss business with him?
She opened the door and said, "Captain of the Imperial Guard, come in."
Qiao Yishi...
Cui Qingyi was putting a sling on Wangcai when Konjac spoke loudly to remind her that a guest was coming:
"Miss, the head of the Fengxing Trading Company's Beijing escort team is here."
Cui Qingyi looked up and saw a strange man following behind Konjac and Qiao Yishi.
Her first reaction was that she didn't know him, but after looking at the way he walked and hearing what Konjac said, Cui Qingyi finally remembered who he was.
"Captain of the Imperial Guard, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Cui Qingyi quickly recalled that she had already paid back the money this man spent on hiring a doctor for Mao Lin, so there should be no unsettled accounts between them.
Three pairs of eyes in the yard were staring at him, and no matter how fearless Jing Wei was, he felt a little embarrassed.
He looked up at Cui Qingyi and cleared his throat twice: "Miss Cui, may I have a word with you?"
Konjac Qiao Yishi...didn't really want to avoid it.
Cui Qingyi didn't think much about it, just thinking that this person had some secret business to discuss. After all, many people who wanted to cooperate in the teahouse business had come to their family recently.
The Cui family's study was specially cleaned out in preparation for the empress dowager's birthday gift. After the birthday gift was sent out, the room was directly used as a study by Cui Qingyi.
Perhaps he was a little nervous. After waiting for the two ministers to sit down, Jing Wei noticed the big dog leaning against Cui Qingyi's legs with its eyes fixed on him.
