Chapter 650: Mr. Xi’s down-to-earth and sincere personality (Part 2)
Xi Jiu: "?"
Xi Jiu: "???"
Xi Jiu: "??????"
The man, who usually had no expression, showed a rare look of shock and confusion on his face.
He didn't seem to understand what Ruan Qi was saying.
An orthopedic surgeon who uses a sledgehammer to hit people's bones, his ancestors were actually blacksmiths?
Is this reasonable?
Ruan Qi knew what Xi Jiu was thinking, and she gritted her teeth and explained, "Master Li's father was a blacksmith, and Master Li has been working with him in front of the furnace since he was a child. But as time went on, his father felt that blacksmithing was unpromising, so he asked Master Li to change his profession. After Master Li became my disciple, my great master noticed that he was extremely strong, so he asked him to specialize in orthopedics."
"Although blacksmithing and orthopedic surgery are quite different professions, they both involve wielding a hammer. So, they're... somewhat related?"
Ruan Qi didn't have any confidence in what she said.
Xi Jiu lost all his temper after hearing this.
He looked at the plaque of the Li family's ancestral massage parlor again, and felt that he was still too young and short-sighted, and didn't know to what extent things in this world could be wrong.
Seeing that Xi Jiu's reaction was becoming more and more disillusioned with the world, Ruan Qi gave up struggling in despair.
She desperately pulled Xi Jiu across the three gates of the courtyard. As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they heard a loud and powerful voice—
"King bomb!"
"No, you go out!"
"Three with one, do you want it?"
"don't want!"
"Four with two, want it?"
"I don't want it! Keep going!"
"A three, I win! Pay me, pay me!"
"How come you won again? Old Mrs. Bai, are you cheating? You've won five times in a row!"
"Old Li, what are you talking about? You don't understand the game yourself, but you accuse me of cheating? Do you believe me? I'll prick you with a silver needle!"
"Come on! I, Li Jingang, have been practicing orthopedics for so many years, how could I be afraid of your little silver needle? Disciple, go quickly and find my imperial hammer! Today I want to fight Old Lady Bai to see who is the better!"
"The imperial hammer? Pah! You're almost seventy years old, how can you swing it? If your old arms and legs get broken, are you going to put them in a cast yourself?"
"Hey yo, you dare to call me old? I'm going to fight you!"
In the huge yard, two old men and women wearing old men's shirts and large flowery skirts began to smash playing cards at each other's heads.
Another old man sitting at the table was holding melon seeds in his hand and watching the two people fighting with a smile.
Old Li's apprentice tried hard to stop the fight, but was then spitted in the face by his master and uncle.
Ruan Qi walked in: "..."
She turned her head with difficulty and looked at Xi Jiu beside her.
Xi Jiu raised his eyebrows, his face full of expression saying, "Is this a legitimate master?"
"..." Ruan Qi covered his heart with his hands, suffocating, and felt that he urgently needed an oxygen tank.
The people in the yard were so busy that they didn't notice that there were two more people at the door.
At this moment, the door of the side room suddenly opened.
Nie Beilou, dressed in a dark red robe and with a gloomy face, walked out of the house.
"What are you arguing about?!"
Nie Beilou shouted loudly.
The few people who were quarreling fiercely immediately turned from big tigers into little quails, standing there timidly, as quiet as chickens.
Nie Beilou glanced at the poker cards scattered on the floor, his face filled with anger: "How can you be so humiliating in front of outsiders? Do you have any manners?"
outsider?
Old man Li and his companions were stunned for a moment before they noticed Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Their eyes instantly fell on Xi Jiu.
"This is..."
"Uncle Li, this is my boyfriend." Ruan Qi took Xi Jiu's hand and introduced him to the others with a smile, "His name is Xi Jiu. Jiujiu, that's Uncle Li swinging the sledgehammer. The one next to him is Uncle Bai, and the one sitting there eating melon seeds is Uncle Feng. The young man with saliva sprayed all over his face is Uncle Li's apprentice, Brother Xu Hai."
Xi Jiu listened to Ruan Qi's introduction, his eyes swept across the faces of several elders one by one, and his heart moved slightly.
If he was not mistaken, the uncle Feng who was sitting and eating melon seeds should be called Feng Zhao, the president of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
The old lady Bai, the uncle Bai who had an argument with Uncle Li, seemed to have appeared as an expert in a Chinese medicine and health program on CTS.
As for the young man whom Ruan Qi called Senior Brother Xu Hai, he seemed to have seen him listed as the deputy director when he accompanied his family to the orthopedics department of the First Hospital in the Imperial Capital for treatment.
These people in the yard look ordinary, but they are actually famous figures in the medical field.
Xi Jiu once again realized the strength of Master Ruan Qi.
He let go of Ruan Qi's hand, took a step forward, and bowed respectfully to the elders.
"Hello, seniors. My name is Xi Jiu, and I'm Xiao Qi's fiancé."
Uncle Li and the others looked at each other.
The entire sect has long known that Ruan Qi has a boyfriend, and they also know the relationship between this boyfriend and the Xi family.
Uncle Li and the others originally thought that Xi Jiu, as the head of the Xi family, would not necessarily be able to put down his airs as a superior even if he came to visit the sect as Ruan Qi's boyfriend.
But I didn't expect that this guy is actually quite smart.
The gazes of the elders towards Xi Jiu suddenly became much gentler.
Mrs. Bai adjusted her hair, and her fierce look instantly changed into a kind and gentle one. She said to Xi Jiu with a smile, "So you are Xiao Qi's fiancé. Come in, come in. I didn't notice you just now. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Upon hearing this, Xi Jiu shook his head and said sincerely, "These seniors are truly sincere."
Old Mrs. Bai immediately smiled.
"Oh, this kid is really good at talking and is so honest. No wonder Xiao Qi likes you."
Ruan Qi's master's sect is like her second family. As a man who has managed to keep his life safe under the hands of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xi Jiu is well aware of how to please her family.
He doesn't talk much, but his tone is sincere and his words and actions are steady. He answers every question asked by his elders seriously, without any impatience or arrogance.
Old Lady Bai and her companions were captured by him without any suspense.
Nie Beilou, who was standing not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but sneer.
He shook his sleeves, walked to Ruan Qi with his hands behind his back, and raised his chin in Xi Jiu's direction: "Your fiancé is suitable for entering the entertainment industry to act."
Ruan Qi looked at her boyfriend, who was crazy about establishing a down-to-earth and sincere personality, and nodded in agreement.
Jiujiu’s acting is indeed good.
It's down-to-earth and sincere, with a hint of tea fragrance.
If this happened in the entertainment industry, he would be the winner of the three Golden Horse Awards.
…
Xi Jiu exchanged pleasantries with several elders for a while before being interrupted by Nie Beilou.
Nie Beilou took the two of them back to the side room, where Ruan Qi's uncle Chu Yujiang was sitting on the Arhat bed.
Chu Yujiang saw Ruan Qi and glanced at her face, frowning slightly. "Didn't you sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you have a nightmare again?"
Ruan Qi pursed her lips and hummed.
