Chapter 392 393 Road Encounters

The middle-aged man in the leather hat looked up and saw the convoy. He climbed up from the ditch overjoyed, stood by the roadside and waited for the convoy to approach, accompanied by a smiling face and shouted at Jixiang: "Little brother, please help me with the car. Lift it out."

   "Okay." Jixiang readily responded, stopped the car and jumped out and shouted to the people behind: "Come and help some people."

   Several coachmen in mino coats got out of the car and walked towards Jixiang, and the woman who led the horse took the girl to avoid the car in front.

Seeing the excitement ahead, Yang Yang clamored to go down to have a look. Zhou Jia put on a hat and hugged him and got out of the car. Xiao Bai also wanted to follow him, but was grabbed by Li Yu, "Little thing, the ground is full of mud, If you go down, don't even think about coming up, go to Linzi to be self-reliant." Xiaobai glared at Li Yu and yelled a few times, lying in the car, daring not to make trouble.

   Jixiang brought a few coachmen to help lift the car. After lifting it, the man in the leather hat saluted and thanked everyone, and everyone helped lift the box that fell into the ditch to the car.

  The man saw Zhou Jia who was holding the child with an extraordinary bearing, stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "Thank you sir, my surname is Fan, Fan Wenzheng, may I ask what your surname is, sir?"

   Zhou Jia saw that the man was about forty years old, with a kind face and gentle temperament, not like someone with ulterior motives. He handed Yangyang to Jixiang and carried him back to the car. He smiled at him: "Mr. Fan is polite, and your surname is Zhou, Zhou Jia."

The    man's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked in surprise, "Is Mr. Zhou, the prefect of Yunzhou?"

   Zhou Jia glanced at him and nodded with a smile. The man greeted Zhou Jia with a long bow and salute, "Meet Mr. Zhou, the next official is the magistrate of Zhengxian County in Liangzhou returning to Beijing to report on his work. He has long heard the name of the Lord, and when he saw it today, he was indeed very tolerant."

   Zhou Jia helped him up and said, "Lord Fan is very polite, just in time, I'm going back to Beijing too. I wonder if Mr. Fan would like to accompany him?"

  Fan Wenzheng bowed and said, "Don't dare to ask your ears, I'm just as I wish."

   "Master Fan is too polite, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, please." Zhou Jia smiled.

   Everyone got into the car separately. Zhou Jia sat on the rafters and took off his mud-stained boots. Yang Yang obediently handed a bamboo stick, "Daddy, scrape the mud for you."

   Li Yu glanced at Zhou Jia with a smile, "Xiao Xi, have you met an acquaintance?"

   "Where..." Zhou Jia smiled and told what happened, then returned to the car, and everyone started to hurry.

After   Hai Shi, a group of talents rushed to an inn, Li Yu took Yang Yang, and Zhou Jia supported Mr. Wen to the inn.

  After staying, Fan Wenzheng took a girl downstairs to the lobby. When Li Yu saw the girl, she had bright eyes, white teeth, and generous teeth, fair skin, tall stature, and she was as charming as a peony in plain clothes.

   After saluting Li Yu, Fan Wenzheng pointed at the girl and said, "Mrs. Li, this is the little girl Mingfang," then turned to Fan Mingfang and said, "Mingfang, greet Mrs."

  Miss Fan gracefully walked up to Li Yu, bowed her knees and said, "Mingfang has seen Mrs."

   Li Yu asked Xinghua to give the greeting gift, and said with a smile, "Miss Fan doesn't need to be too polite, everyone who is away can do it as they please."

   "Thank you, Madam." Fan Mingfang stood up and smiled at Li Yu, standing aside to wait for Fan Wenzheng to greet Mr. Wen.

  Yangyang glanced at Fan Mingfang with a smile and walked up to her, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

  Fan Mingfang squatted down with a blushing face, looked at Yangyang, smiled and said softly, "Little brother, you are also very good-looking."

  Li Yu watched Luoluo squatting there generously, and Fan Mingfang, who was talking to Yangyang, was thoughtful.

  Li Yu looked at their hospitality, and the shopkeeper came out and shouted, "Everyone, the food is ready."

  After eating in the lobby, everyone said goodbye politely and went back to their rooms to rest. After returning to the room, Zhou Jia told Li Yu that the Fan family was from Kyoto, and Fan Wenzheng's father was Xiuzhuan of the Hanlin Academy. He had a stroke and hemiplegia a year ago and was idle at home. Mrs. Fan Wenzheng brought her son home to take care of the illness, and her daughter contracted the cold. Only after the year returned to Beijing with Fan Wenzheng.

Li Yu and Fan Wenfang had contacted several times, and felt that this girl was knowledgeable and reasonable, and her appearance and personality were first-class. Li Yu felt that this girl was the best candidate for a sister-in-law. Know if this girl and Li Qing see eye to eye.

   On the road that day, Li Yu discussed with Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, what do you think of Fan Wenzheng as a person?"

   "It looks good," Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled, "What? You want to marry her daughter to Ah Qing as a daughter-in-law?"

Li Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I've been in contact with that girl a few times, and I think she's pretty good in every way. I have this idea, but most people get married long ago, so I rashly ask them how embarrassing they are. Ah! Besides, I don't know if she and Ah Qing can meet each other's eyes!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu confidently, "Why can't Miss Fan look down on our Ah Qing? We Ah Qing are both good-looking and worthy of Miss Fan. Wait for me. Go and find out if the Miss Fan family is engaged, if not, I will mention A Qing's situation to him, and if he is willing to return to the capital, let them see each other."

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jiahu's short look, pursed his lips and smiled, and warned: "Don't be busy first, and have a suitable opportunity to learn about it sideways. There is still a month's journey, so there is always a chance to find out."

   Zhou Jia nodded and said to Li Yu with a smile: "You rest first, I'll go to see Mr. Yang'er and Xiao Loach are there!"

Li Yu leaned on the bed lazily, "Xiaoxi, I don't think Mr. has eaten much tonight. Go ask Mr. what you want to eat, and ask Mrs. Liu to find the innkeeper and borrow the inn's stove for Mr. Re-do."

"Okay." Zhou Jiaying went down to the room where Mr. Wen lived next door, and saw him leaning on the head of the bed and telling stories to several children, Yangyang and Xiaojiba were knocking on his back, Xiaoloach and Maizi were beating his legs, and Edamame hugged him. Xiaobai sat there obediently.

   Zhou Jia looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Oh! Where are so many good children?"

   The little loach shouted shyly: "Master, you are here!"

  Yangyang stepped forward and pulled Zhou Jia, "Dad, Master, he is not feeling well."

   Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Wen worriedly, "Sir, Xiaoyu said you didn't eat much tonight, is the food not to your taste?"

"Don't worry, I'm just a little tired and have no appetite," Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia lovingly and touched the heads of several children's bags with a smile, "Good boy, go to sleep! I have to hurry tomorrow morning! "

  The little loach nodded and replied, "Yes, the old man also rests early."

  Yangyang waved at a few children, Zhou Jia went out to see them go downstairs to the room, then turned to Mr. Wen and said, "Sir, I'll make you a bowl of tea noodles, what do you think?"

  Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia's worried eyes, and felt warm in his heart, "Go! Eat less, you won't be able to get rid of it if you eat too much."

   Zhou Jia served Mr. Wen to eat tea noodles, and Zhou Jiacai took Yang Yang back to the house to rest. The next morning, when it was just dawn, everyone started to hurry again.
