The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 300

The three thatched houses are connected together. The furnishings inside are not as simple as those outside. They have bamboo curtains, bamboo mats, cabinets, beds, tables and chairs.

"gentlemen……"

When the bamboo curtain was lifted, he saw an old man lying on a bed covered with bedding in the dim inner room. He had white hair and beard and a stern face. When he saw Qin Qingdong show his face, he became even angrier.

"Why, are you willing to set foot on this cheap land?"

Qin Qingdong came to Huchuang and bowed deeply, "Sir, in the past, it was you who didn't want to see me. You refused to accept anything I sent you and threw it all away. Why are you blaming me now?"

The old man's chest was heaving rapidly. He became even more angry after hearing this. He looked around and couldn't find anything suitable, so he grabbed a torn book and threw it at Qin Qingdong.

"I see that you are becoming more and more arrogant now."

Qin Qingdong was inconvenienced as he had one hand hanging, but he grabbed the remaining copy with his other hand.

I cried out, "Sir, what's wrong with me? I have always listened to your teachings, and the spankings you gave me in the past were not in vain."

After saying this, he walked over and sat down on the only drum stool in front of the Huchuang.

Seeing his former teacher now lying in bed sick and unable to fight, he plucked up his courage, looked around, and sighed, "Why are you arguing with your disciples? Leaving the capital would be fine, but now you are in the capital... It's better than this wild mountain. You only have Uncle Wang by your side, and both of you are over 70 years old. Not to mention that he can take care of you, even if you two depend on each other, you are too old to do anything."

Qin Qingdong was helpless.

Mr. Jiang, whose full name was Jiang Qu and whose nickname was Mr. Liu Zhi, was the mentor who first taught him, Pei Che, Pei An, and Xiao Bei. He had studied in the Qin family's private school for five years, but later he was too old to control those naughty boys, so he had to resign.

Although he resigned, several families still took care of him.

But Jiang Qu was aloof and arrogant by nature. He had been a widower since he was young, but he never remarried and he never even had a maid or servant around him.

He lived a clean and honest life, but was also lonely.

However, he had many disciples all over the place, and most of them respected him. They visited him on festivals and birthdays. Although his life was a bit hard, he could still get by.

until--

Something happened to his favorite student, Pei Che.

It is said that he privately sought out Pei Jian, the Duke of Zhenguo, to argue with him, and insulted Pei Jian during the meal, saying that the family was in turmoil and that the legitimate and illegitimate children were killing each other. No one knows how Pei Jian reacted.

From that day on, whenever there were visitors from the Qin, Xiao, and Pei families, or if they came to send gifts, Jiang Qu pointed at Wang Bo and threw them all out. He also refused to see Pei An, Xiao Bei, and Qin Qingdong.

But the children were sentimental, except for Xiao Bei, Pei An and Qin Qingdong, they would come to visit during every festival. Even though Xiao Bei was far away in Jiangzhou and it was inconvenient for him to go back and forth, he would sneak over to visit whenever he entered the capital.

He was not allowed to see Jiang Qu, so he asked about the daily life of the two elders, Wang Bo.

Only after hearing the old man’s words of hope, did he leave some money.

Jiang Qu knew that Pei Che's path to imperial examinations had been cut short and his life had been ruined by an ignorant woman. He was extremely disappointed, especially when Pei Jian failed to hold that vicious woman accountable, and became even more disheartened.

He simply took Uncle Wang and moved to the old county.

Last year, Jiang Qu's health deteriorated. As he was getting old, he wanted to return to his hometown. He drove away his young servants, returned to the capital with Wang Bo, bought this dilapidated thatched house, and lived there casually.

No disciples were alarmed.

Qin Qingdong only received the news yesterday at noon. Jin Fuyun told him privately when she and her sister-in-law went to Qin's house to visit his old lady.

"Mr. Liu Zhi is back in Beijing, do you know if Xi is back?"

He was very surprised and shook his head blankly. Jin Fuyun sighed, "I was also going to burn incense outside the capital. My carriage happened to break down near that village, so Yu Cheng asked someone to repair it. I thought the weather was good, so I took my maids and guards and walked towards the village. That's when I met Uncle Wang."

These words stopped Qin Qingdong from asking about the murder committed by Zhu San.

"Is it really Uncle Wang?"

Jin Fuyun nodded with a smile, "I was also Mr. Liu Zhi's female student when I was young. Although I couldn't be taught by him all the time, it was Mr. Liu Zhi and I who opened my eyes to the world. I remember them clearly as master and servant."

This is why Qin Qingdong left the city early in the morning.

He originally wanted to call Pei An, but when they blocked him at the official residence, Pei An had already gone to report for duty, so he only grabbed A Lu and decided to go all out and let A Lu go with him to find out the way.

At this moment, sitting in front of my mentor, I feel mixed emotions.

"Sir, would you please come to Beijing and live there permanently with me?"

Jiang Qu closed his vicissitudes eyes, but he couldn't hide his old age. "You came alone?" Qin Qingdong knew that his voice was sick, so he quickly said, "Pei Si is now working in the Hanlin Academy. I wanted to ask him to come and visit you this morning, but I was a step too late. He went to report for duty. Don't worry, I will tell him when I go back in the evening. By the way, Xiao Si is also here to take the special examination this year. He is staying in the mansion for a while. He came to visit you together..."

"What are you looking for? I'm not dead yet."

Jiang Qu said in a stern voice, but at his old age, such majestic words added too much sorrow.

"Sir, you blame us for not helping Che'er. Over the years, not to mention others, Pei Si has always been thinking about his third brother. It's just that Che'er is aloof and arrogant. When he encountered something like this, he left the house early and his whereabouts are hard to find."

"Humph! I have been alive for nearly eighty years, and I have rarely seen such a tragedy."

Qin Qingdong looked at the stubborn Mr. Jiang and wanted to say that Xiao would not have a good ending now, but he glanced coldly at the Pipa Boy standing by the bamboo curtain.

So I swallowed the words of explanation.

"Sir, Brother Che is doing well now."

"Forget it! I'm about to be buried, why am I still angry with you, Youan come here." After Song Youan came to him, he said to Qin Qingdong, "Youan is now in the Jiaofang Division, you are high up, I don't ask you to take care of him, I just want you not to look down on him in the future."

Qin Qingdong bared his teeth, "Why, is this the disciple that Master accepted later?"

"Don't worry about these things. You two met today, so I have to tell you a few things. You were born rich, but he is trapped in the mud now, and it's not easy for him to survive." At the end of his speech, the skinny old hand grabbed Song Youan, and he sighed before he could speak, and his words could not form a complete sentence.

Song Youan gently put his hand into the quilt, leaned over and whispered to comfort Jiang Qu, "Sir, don't worry about me. I can survive anywhere."

The old man's eyes were cloudy and filled with water.

"Whatever, you are also a strong kid."

Song Youan stood up and said, "Thank you for not disrespecting me and letting me in for a while. The second young master of the Qin family is unattainable, and Youan has never had the intention of getting close to him. But today, sir, you should listen to the second young master and go into the city to recuperate."

Jiang Qu shook his head and refused.

"I am old. This place is beautiful and quiet. The hustle and bustle of the city disturbs me."

He wants to wait here...

Waiting for this life to end.
