Chapter 256 Hong Qibin and Hong Qinghui
On the surface, it was Hong Qibin who brought Hong Qinghui to the capital.

The actual situation is that Hong Qinghui had no intention of coming to the capital at first.

In their hometown, although Hong Qinghui and Hong Qibin were related to each other one level apart, they were from the same clan and lived close to each other. They had been together since childhood and often visited each other when they grew up. Therefore, Hong Qinghui always respected Hong Qibin as his brother.

However, in fact, in Hong Qibin's heart, he hated Hong Qinghui.I wish that a thunderbolt would immediately strike down from the sky and "chopping" Hong Qinghui to death on the spot!

One of the main reasons is that Hong Qinghui has a face that can not only charm people to death, but also dogs!
When they were young, Hong Qinghui and Hong Qibin once went to visit a senior student.

There is a big black dog in the senior's house.

Every time Hong Qibin passed by his senior's door, the big black dog would bark unfriendly "bark woof" at him. As a last resort, if there was nothing particularly urgent, Hong Qibin would take a detour.

But that day, Hong Qibin had something to ask of the senior and asked Hong Qinghui to accompany him.

Before leaving, Hong Qibin secretly hid two delicious rice dumplings made of meat and leftover rice in his sleeves, but there was medicine in the rice dumplings!

Arriving at the door of the senior's house, Hong Qibin secretly threw out a rice dumpling while Hong Qinghui wasn't paying attention.

The big black dog smelled the fragrance, stopped barking, and came closer to smell and look.

At this time, Hong Qibin and Hong Qinghui wanted to sneak in while the big black dog wasn't paying attention.

Unexpectedly, the black dog suddenly raised its head when they approached!
Hong Qibin was so frightened that he quickly stopped and turned around to run away, but was pulled by Hong Qinghui. Hong Qinghui whispered,
"Brother, you can't run! We can't run away from it!"

Hong Qibin had no choice but to stop.

At this time, Hong Qinghui whistled softly in his mouth, and the whistle was melodious and sweet. After staring at Hong Qinghui for a while, the big black dog's eyes were no longer sharp and alert, but slowly relaxed, and then it wagged its tail, and then lazily Lying on the ground!

Hong Qibin was greatly surprised. He knew that a dog wagging its tail means being friendly, and lying on the ground means it will not attack!
This dog is also good at looks!

If Hong Peiju hadn't repeatedly asked Hong Qibin to bring Hong Qinghui to the capital, Hong Qibin couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to endure his deep jealousy and hatred for Hong Qinghui!
In his hometown, Hong Qibin always felt that he was good-looking and extraordinary.

Therefore, after failing the imperial examination twice, I realized that I was not the material to study.

Hong Qibin wanted to rely on his good looks and the local influence of the Hong family to get a good marriage. After all, his uncle was the Marquis of the capital!

The local commerce is developed and there are many wealthy businessmen. Having such a marriage can ensure that you have enough food and clothing.

Hong Qibin fell in love with a wealthy girl named Guan.The Guan family is engaged in the paper and inkstone business and has rich financial resources. The family only has one son and one daughter, and the parents regard their daughter as the apple of their eye.

Hong Qubin thought that even if there was no hope for the imperial examination, he could rely on the Guan family's money to donate to a small official in the future. Even if he became a county magistrate or chief registrar in the county, he would be able to influence the local affairs.

Although it can't be said to be majestic, it still feels like a duck in water.You will have no worries about food and drink throughout your life.

Hong Qibin asked the patriarch to propose marriage to the Guan family.The patriarch happily agreed for the sake of Hong Peiju.

However, three generations of the Guan family have been businessmen, and they are shrewd and tactful. Naturally, they have to inquire deeply about the circumstances of the marriage.

After some consideration, the Guan family set their sights on Hong Qinghui.

For one thing, Hong Qinghui's appearance is even more handsome.

Secondly, although Hong Qinghui's parents are running a small business, their family wealth is still much richer than that of Hong Qibin.

Because Hong Qubin's father was a scholar who had failed many times. Apart from being able to teach a few children to read and make some income, he could barely cope with life and had no other income.

Compared with the Guan family, it is not an exaggeration to say that the family has nothing but four walls.It is also far inferior to the Hong Qinghui family.

The Guan family used some money to establish a relationship with the head of the Hong family, and then the head of the family asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Hong Qinghui family.

Here, Hong Qibin knew that he had been tricked by the clan leader, but he did not dare to fall out with the clan leader.I just hate Hong Qinghui in my heart!

He even wanted to kill Hong Qinghui'er at that time. In this case, the Guan family daughter would have no other choice and would naturally choose him.

However, Hong Qibin did not take action after all.

Hong Qibin was depressed all day long. Hong Qibin's father and Hong Peiju were half-brothers. At this time, he felt sorry for his son, so he wrote a letter to Hong Peiju who was far away in the capital, hoping that Hong Peiju could take care of his nephew.

While waiting for the reply, Hong Qibin gained some hope and suppressed his hatred.

Hong Peiju quickly sent a letter back, agreeing that Hong Qibin would come to the capital to find a way out, but only if Hong Qibin also brought Hong Qinghui with him.

Although Hong Peiju said in the letter that "brothers working together can break through metal" and so on.But Hong Qibin scoffed.

Hong Qibin and Hong Peiju are in the same boat to a certain extent.For example, when it comes to family ties and interests, they will choose interests without hesitation!

Hong Qibin didn't believe Hong Peiju's "nonsense" at all.

Hong Qibin initially thought that Hong Peiju had taken a fancy to Hong Qinghui'er's family wealth, but then he thought again that even though Hong Qinghui's family wealth was rich, it was far from wealthy, and this amount of money would not catch Hong Peiju's eyes.

Could it be that Hong Peiju's father-in-law has a girl of the right age who wants to be betrothed to Hong Qinghui?

If that was the case, where did his uncle put himself?
Hong Qinghui must not be allowed to go to the capital with him!

After Ning Xiaotao took Ji Jun's antidote pill, he followed Ji Jun's instructions and was about to slowly reach out to the little snake.

At this time, Ji Min suddenly said softly, "Wait a minute!"

Ning Xiaotao and Ji Jun looked at Ji Nian in confusion, and Ji Nian whispered,

"Cousin, do you think this snake only attacks men?"

Ji Jun stared at the little snake for a moment and nodded when he heard the words.

Ji Min said again,
"In this case, you want Ning Xiaotao to be used as bait, but if he is bitten, it would be fine if our antidote pills are effective. If not, wouldn't it hurt Mr. Ning's life?"

Ji Jun was shocked when he heard Ji Min's words, it was true!

Ji Jun was deeply afraid that she was too confident in her antidote pill.But nothing in the world is perfect. If the snake is extremely venomous and the antidote pills are ineffective, even if Ning Xiaotao doesn't blame himself, how can he feel at ease in the future?
"In your opinion?"

Ji Min quietly whispered a few words into Ji Jun's ear, and Ji Jun suddenly beamed and said,
"That's great! Ni'er is very thoughtful!"

Jijun saw a feather duster in the vase, so he asked Shaoyao to pull off a few chicken feathers on it. Then, he wrapped the chicken feathers with silk and wrapped them on a thin bamboo stick, which looked like a small drumstick.

Ji Jun knew that Ning Xiaotao was dizzy at this time, but she didn't bother to explain and said to Ning Xiaotao,

"If you believe me, please drop blood on this cloth!"

Ning Xiaotao really didn't know why, but since he chose to believe Ji Jun, he no longer hesitated, bit his finger and dripped blood onto the bamboo stick wrapped in cloth.

Ning Xiaotao thought that he might use this instead of his hands to "beat" the snake. If so, it would be much safer than catching the snake directly with his bare hands.

Ji Jun asked Shaoyao to take another detoxification pill, and then asked Shaoyao to fold the handkerchief into double layers and wrap it around his hands.

Ji Jun visually observed that the snake was not big, and the teeth were not too long, probably less than one centimeter, and the thickness of the handkerchief was at least half a centimeter.

In this way, even if you are bitten by a snake, even if you are bitten, there will be a certain degree of protection through a thicker veil.

Moreover, Ji Jun thought that many venomous snakes do not have poisonous teeth, but the venom secreted by the glands between the teeth is poisonous. It enters the blood along the skin broken by the fangs, causing injury or death to the person or animal bitten.

Some medicinal powder has been sprinkled on the peony veil, which should be able to neutralize some of the venom!
Ji Jun didn't dare to think about "keeping alive" at this moment, he just hoped that the little snake wouldn't hurt anyone!
Even though she hated Nangong Yan, even if Nangong Yan had used vicious methods to deal with her, Nangong Yan was not innocent when she was bitten, but at this moment, she could not watch Ning Xiaotao "feeding the tiger with her body".

First, it can be seen that there is no dispute between Ji Min and Ning Xiaotao.

Secondly, Ning Xiaotao was planning to take action just now, which shows that this person is quite responsible as a man.It is much cleaner than Hong Peiju who takes concubines and does favors with her daughter!

"Why are you waiting so long! You want Miss Nangong to die quickly! If you don't rescue Miss Nangong, my sister will report to the Queen and let your whole family be buried with her!"

A sharp voice came from behind Ji Jun.

Ji Jun turned his head and looked, yo!do not know!Where did the cats and dogs appear?
Ji Min took a look and whispered,
"Juqu Qingshan's concubine Juqu Bisheng."

Ji Jun cursed secretly in his heart, there is no time to show off his bad feet!No wonder those novels about palace fights and house fights always say, "A child born from an aunt cannot be put on the stage!"

Ji Jun had no time to pay attention at the moment, thinking that this snake was small and slippery. What if he missed a hit and it ran from Nangong Yan to someone else?
Unexpectedly, the green rope of Juqu began to make noise again.
"Are you okay? If not, don't be brave! How many heads do you have if you hurt Miss Nangong?"

Ji Jun knew that this was not the time to vent his anger, so he still ignored it.

Shaoyao's hands were wrapped in thick handkerchiefs, and she held up the bamboo stick wrapped in cloth and slowly stretched it towards the little snake...
