After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 110 Unexpected Connection

Peng Yuqi was very angry.

Jin Zhenfu insisted on traveling with the Zhou family in order to have more time to get close to the Zhou family.In comparison, although Haixiya is backed by Tao Shilang and the Zhou family in the Ministry of Revenue, it is not as important as the direct daughter of the Zhou family. At worst, they will just make friends again when they arrive in Chang'an.

Jin Zhenfu's thoughts are easy to understand. Peng Yuqi can completely understand and is not surprised.What really made her angry was that the other party gave the order before telling her to stay in Baoji for a few more days. However, her servant ignored her order to prepare people to leave tomorrow and stopped packing her luggage as the other party wanted.

There are many people in the team who were Mrs. Peng's dowry during her lifetime - these people were originally servants of the Jin family. There are also many people who were sent by the Jin family in advance to wait on Miss Biao. The personal guards sent by Peng Tongzhi all live in the outer courtyard. Peng Yuqi sent out some of his confidants yesterday, and now among the people who stayed, the majority were willing to obey Jin Zhenfu's orders.This caused Jin Zhenfu to kill him first and then to show off, but Peng Yuqi was helpless against him.Unless she planned to fall out with this uncle, there was really no way she could categorically reject his order.

But she had been doted on by her parents since she was a child, and she had long been accustomed to making decisions. Jin Zhenfu's actions had touched her bottom line, and she felt that she could hardly bear it any longer.At this time, she really needs Zhou Wenjun, her best friend, to help her - at least to use the power of the daughter of the Zhou family to help her regain control in front of her servants.Otherwise, when she moves into the Jin family, the people serving around her may turn against her at any time. Then wouldn't she be at the mercy of the Jin family? !

For this, she could only apologize to Haitang.She knew that it was impossible for the Hai family to wait in Baoji for Zhou Wenjun to recover from his injury.Hai Xiya still has to go to Chang'an to take up his post. If he delays for a long time and cannot arrive before the twelfth lunar month, he is afraid that it will delay the preparation work before the year and affect the large-scale trial planting of new grains after next spring.

Haitang would naturally not be angry with her.It's nice to have friends to play with on the road, but it's already the middle of winter, and it's windy and snowy from time to time. Who wants to ride a horse outside to eat the northwest wind?If she hides in the carriage, she is more accustomed to doing her own thing, rather than chatting and playing Shuanglu with other girls.Anyway, we have made friends, and we can just get together again when we come to Chang'an in the future.

Haitang was so tolerant and considerate, which made Peng Yuqi feel even more guilty: "Where will you live when you arrive in Chang'an? Shall I write to you?"

Haitang had heard her grandmother Ma tell her the address, but she had never been there, so she could only give a general location: "I heard it was near the Chenghuang Temple. I had to go there to know how to get there. How about Sister Peng tell me that the Jin family is here Where? When I find out that you are in Chang'an, I will send a letter to the Jin family. Sister Peng says hello to his family, I think they will forward my letter to you. "

Peng Yuqi nodded: "My grandma's house is not far from the Chenghuang Temple, so it must be quite convenient to travel there. Just write me a letter and I will post it for you." She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the detailed address of Jin's house. , and handed it to Haitang.The two agreed to meet in Chang'an and then separated.

Haitang went to pack her luggage, while Peng Yuqi locked herself in the room, not knowing what she was thinking.When the Hai family set off the next day, she appeared in the front yard to say goodbye to her friends.

Jin Zhenfu has been staying with his niece, with a seemingly friendly smile on his face, but his eyes are fixed on Haijiao in the Hai family's team. Even Hai Changan, who is more than ten years older but handsome, is wary of it. I went up, for fear that Peng Yuqi would say another word to her husband.

Both Hai Chang'an and Hai Jiao noticed Jin Zhenfu's vigilance. After understanding his thoughts, they were both a little bit dumbfounded.After Hai Changan rode out of the city, he approached Hai Jiao with a smile and asked him: "Second uncle thinks Miss Peng is very nice and treats you kindly. Do you really have no idea?"

Hai Jiao glanced at Hai Chang'an angrily: "Second uncle, stop joking, don't you think it's chaotic enough? Why should we outsiders get involved in the affairs between in-laws?!"

Hai Changan smiled and said: "I'm not talking nonsense. Lao Peng is a very good person and has a good family tradition. The children he teaches are reliable. However, the current head of the Jin family is not very good and has no snobbery. In the right place, even if you want to work hard, you can't get on the right track, and you will lose the good foundation laid by the older generation. It's a pity that Lao Peng is a good man who is grateful and nostalgic. What if he was persuaded by the Jin family to marry off his only daughter? Ruining a child's life? It's better to give you an advantage. At least my second uncle knows that you are an honest person, not a waste with high ambitions and low hands! "

Hai Jiao remembered that Hai Changan had lived in Chang'an and Ganzhou City for a long time, and he should know something about the Peng and Jin families, so he asked: "Second uncle knows the Jin family? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"A snobbish person who is respectful at first and arrogant at the other, why are you talking about him? It's disappointing!" Hai Chang'an said disapprovingly, "His old man is a real man, but it's a pity that he married unvirtuously and the misfortune spread for three generations. Peng Tongzhi was also grateful that his mother-in-law did not blame him because of him. They broke the engagement and broke the contract when their family was in trouble, but they didn’t know that it was the old man of the Jin family who was in charge. Even though he was away on a military expedition, he wrote several letters home just to instruct him on this matter. Otherwise, Mrs. Jin would have been there long ago. I have chosen another family for my daughter. Unfortunately, the old man of the Jin family left early, and Mrs. Peng, the only daughter of Father Xiao, also died this year. Nowadays, there are not many honest people left in the Jin family, and it is a mess. Old Peng is staying in Ganzhou After a long time, I didn’t know what the situation of the Yue family was now, so I sent my daughter there. I don’t know what bad things the child will encounter in the Jin family!"

Hai Changan still remembers how Jin Zhenfu pretended to be friendly to make friends with him when his father was alive. After his father passed away, he was adopted by Hai Xiya, who had a low official position. Jin Zhenfu was still a teenager. He immediately showed an expression of disgust and alienation, and even pretended not to recognize him when meeting him on the street.

At that time, Hai Changan understood for the first time in his life what "snobbery" meant, and from then on he had no hope for this so-called friend.What's even more ridiculous is that he and Jin Zhenfu stayed in the Baoji Inn for two days. The other party even greeted him, talked and laughed, but he didn't recognize him as an old acquaintance from the beginning to the end. It was like hearing the name Xiya for the first time.The Jinhai family have been neighbors in Chang'an City for more than ten years...

Although the two houses are not adjacent to each other and belong to different health clinics, they always interact with each other several times a year on the street.The eldest brother, Hai Dingcheng, was similar in age to Jin Zhenfu and had gone to school together, but they had no further contact.The Hai family had only left Chang'an City for more than ten years, and Jin Zhenfu had completely forgotten about them. When they reunited, he treated them as strangers. He tried every means to get closer, but he forgot about the real connection between the two families.Hai Changan wanted to laugh, but in his heart he felt even more unhappy about the Jin family.

Hai Jiao learned from Hai Changan that there was such a connection between his family and Jin Zhenfu's family, and was greatly surprised: "Why didn't grandpa and grandma say they knew his family? Jin Zhenfu acted like they were new acquaintances." Pai, are they following the trend?"

Hai Changan smiled: "I guess I didn't recognize him at first. Jin Zhenfu only said that he was Peng Tongzhi's brother-in-law and Miss Peng's biological uncle. He didn't say anything about his life and origins. Who would have thought so much? After more than ten years, everyone else has become fat. After walking around for two times, he looked like a loser again. He was no longer as thin as he was when he was a boy. How could he be recognized? When I thought about it later, my parents saw that he acted so snobbishly and didn't want to have a close relationship. Anyway, our Hai family and The Jin family can't be said to have any friendship, at most they can only be regarded as acquaintances. Why bother to socialize when there is no need to deal with them in the future? "

When we don’t have any dealings with each other in the future?
Hai Jiao thought of the sudden deepening of friendship between his sister and Peng Yuqi, and thought that this was not necessarily the case.
