"Young Master, you...you know me, and I know you too, right? When I saw you, I felt very familiar with you. Was that your name I just called? Oh my God..."
Long Pingzhang finally got excited, and grabbed Duan Tingxuan's hand, shaking it repeatedly, saying, "I... I can't remember who I am or where I came from. Fortunately, Uncle Chu and Xiu'er took care of me these days, otherwise I don't know where I would be. If you know my origins, can you tell me everything?"
Oh my god! I actually encountered the most common melodramatic amnesia plot in novels? Su Nuannuan watched this scene from the side and was completely speechless.
Duan Tingxuan was also speechless. He stared blankly at Long Pingzhang. Looking at the other party's eager eyes, he didn't know what to say for a moment. The atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange silence.
"You guys...are you going to take Brother Niu away?"
The first one to speak was the beautiful girl. Although Duan Tingxuan said that Brother Niu's name seemed to be Pingzhang, in her heart, this person was her Brother Niu, the Brother Niu who was about to marry her. The girl's instinct made her feel a sense of crisis. She wanted to drag Brother Niu away quickly, but except for asking a weak question, her body could not move at all.
Long Pingzhang finally came to his senses and pointed at the girl beside him and said, "This is Xiu'er. She and Chu Bo met me when they went into the mountains to collect herbs and saved me. They spent all their savings to hire a doctor and buy me medicine." At this point, his face flushed slightly and he said a little embarrassedly, "We...we are getting married next month."
"no."
Duan Tingxuan blurted out: Long Pingzhang is a Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations twice. Although he is not from a noble family, his family is also a powerful family. He is truly a child of destiny. It is said that his family has arranged a marriage for him. The other party is also from a famous family. They are waiting for him to leave his post in Jiangnan and return to Beijing to report on his work before getting married. Now he has a fiancée, and they are going to get married next month. How can this be possible?
"Why not?"
Long Pingzhang's face was full of confusion. He was just a brother now. He had no idea how terrible his origins were. It was not an exaggeration to say that he and this beautiful village girl were worlds apart.
Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan looked at each other and sighed deeply. "Let's go into the inn first and talk about it."
"That inn? I just want to sit there for a while, so they won't... charge money, right?"
Long Pingzhang looked at Duan Tingxuan warily. His words almost made the young marquis cry. He quickly said, "No. Even if they charge money, I will pay for it. Don't worry."
Isn't this another love tragedy? Time Travel Master, please don't test me like this. You know I can't stand this, and I like to meddle in other people's business. You can't let such a sad plot happen in front of me. I can't help it. The key is, this kind of thing. It seems that it's useless for me to help it.
While Su Nuannuan was mumbling in her heart, Duan Tingxuan had already briefly described Long Pingzhang's origins. Sure enough. Not only Xiu'er, but Long Pingzhang himself was shocked: Born into a wealthy family, a Jinshi in two imperial examinations, and a third-rank Jiangnan Dao censor at the age of 25, how could he have such a tough life? He originally thought that he was at most a rich young master.
Xiu'er was so frightened that she could not speak. Songjiang Prefecture was considered a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, but there were not many families in the surrounding villages near her home who could afford to send people to school. A scholar was an existence that everyone looked up to. It was said that the last juren was more than a hundred years ago, and now suddenly a jinshi who passed the double list fell from the sky and became a high-ranking official who was many levels higher than the county magistrate. How many people, let alone herself, even the famous ladies in Songjiang Prefecture could marry up to such a person?
In an instant, the beautiful girl lowered her head. From Su Nuannuan's perspective, she could see that she quickly wiped away a tear. Then she raised her head, took a deep breath, and smiled brightly at Long Pingzhang: "Brother Niu, no... that's wrong. Now I should call you Lord Long. That... now it seems that our marriage is just a joke. It doesn't matter. I won't blame you. I'm only happy for you. This is God's care. We met Master Duan here and learned about your life experience. Fortunately... fortunately we know it now, otherwise if we knew it later, the big mistake would have been made, and it would only increase our sadness and embarrassment. That... you should go back with Master Duan. Maybe when you see your family, you can recover your previous memories. You don't have to feel guilty. If you really feel embarrassed, return the money we spent on your treatment, and we will be even now."
"How much? I'll pay it back for him."
What else can I say at this time? The young marquis was about to end this trouble for Long Pingzhang, but was stepped on hard by his wife. He grimaced in pain, turned around and looked at Su Nuannuan with an innocent face, muttering: "Nuannuan, what are you doing? Did I say something wrong or do something wrong again?"
"It's better to let Lord Long decide this matter himself. Why are you so anxious to interfere?" Su Nuannuan snorted coldly, but Duan Tingxuan said blankly: "But Pingzhang has no money now."
Su Nuannuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her husband sharply, so the young marquis became depressed and whispered, "I was just thinking about helping Pingzhang solve this problem as soon as possible. They are not the same kind of people at all. Even if you feel unfair, you can't just match them up. Besides, Pingzhang is already engaged at home. I'm afraid Miss Xiu'er can't get used to that kind of aristocratic life. It's better to give her a little more money so that she and her father can live a life without worries. This can also be regarded as a thank you for saving their lives."
As he was talking, Siping had already taken out a five thousand tael note from his parcel. Young Marquis, can you bring less money when you go to the south of the Yangtze River? But you can't show it in the past.
Xiu'er didn't know many words, but at least she knew the word Wu Qian. She was immediately shocked and waved her hands quickly, saying, "No... not so much. The total cost of hiring a doctor and getting medicine was less than a hundred taels of silver."
"Take it." Duan Tingxuan also felt that this girl was a good person, but it was a pity that she and Long Pingzhang were destined not to be together. Yin said gently: "To me, Pingzhang's life is worth more than five thousand taels. This is just my friend. If he goes home, his parents don't know how to thank you."
Xiu'er bit her lip, shook her head and murmured, "No, I can't have so much, no... so much..."
"If I...if I go home, will I not be able to marry Xiu'er?" Long Pingzhang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked. Seeing Duan Tingxuan stunned and then slowly nodded, he said decisively: "Then...then I won't go back. You...just pretend that you have never seen me and that I am dead. Xiu'er, let's go..."
