Chapter 13 Blending in
Chu Qing's attention was originally focused on the grand banquet that Chu Yunfei was going to prepare.
If this 'traveling doctor' had not appeared, he would have only needed to send a letter to Chu Yunfei.
But now that this variable has appeared, he has to change his purpose. While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard this news.
And the melon has fallen on his own head.
"So, she said something like that?"
Chu Qing burst out laughing.
Miss Wu is called Wu Qianhuan, the only daughter of Wu Ganqi, the Lord of Tianwu City.
Little Chu Qing is two years old and is a spoiled girl who has been loved by everyone since she was a child.
The friendship between the two of them can be traced back to a long, long time ago... so long ago that Wu Qianhuan, with her bare butt and pigtails, chased him around the streets to help him do evil.
It is commonly known as childhood sweethearts.
The Chu family is the number one family in Tianwu City, and they often share honor and disgrace with Wu Ganqi.
After all, in this world where people are eaten without leaving any bones, how can Wu Ganqi withstand the storms from all directions without other help?
Therefore, the two families have always been on good terms.
Wu Qianhuan is two years younger than Chu Qing, and in her impression, the little girl is very annoying.
When she was little, she liked to run behind him. Whatever he did, she would do the same.
This made Chu Qing hate her very much, but she couldn't get rid of this follower.
After she started practicing martial arts, Chu Qing hated her even more.
Because her aptitude and comprehension were far superior to Chu Qing's, she could suppress her at first by relying on the fact that she had practiced two years longer than her, but later she couldn't do it anymore. They were just kids fighting without any restraint, and Chu Qing was always beaten black and blue by her.
Later...the two families got married.
To the original owner, this marriage was not only incomprehensible but also a bolt from the blue.
But now Chu Qing understands that Chu Yunfei's move has paved a smooth road for Chu Qing's future.
Chu Tian can inherit everything from the Chu family, and his future has already been determined.
Chu Fan entered the Taiyi Sect, so with his qualifications, there was naturally nothing to worry about...but the future of his youngest son, who was neither good at literature nor martial arts, was worrying.
When Chu Yunfei was alive, he could have always been a playboy in the Chu family.
But what will happen after the family business is handed over to Chu Tian?
Many things will change, Chu Tian will also get married, what will the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law be like?
If they were not close to each other, and if Chu Tian did not have his old father to suppress him every day, no matter how much Chu Tian loved his younger brother, a rift would inevitably arise over time.
Once Chu Tian dislikes him, Chu Qing's good days will be completely over.
In order to avoid this from happening, Chu Yunfei found another way out for Chu Qing.
The fact that he had the nerve to ask Wu Ganqi for marriage was enough to show that he had good intentions.
This move can not only make the relationship between the two families closer, but also, Wu Qianhuan is Wu Ganqi's only daughter after all. A hundred years after Wu Ganqi's death, won't this huge Tianwu City belong to Wu Qianhuan?
As her husband, no matter how useless Chu Qing is, his future will not be too bad.
In addition, Chu Qing has the Chu family behind him.
Even though Wu Qianhuan disliked Chu Qing after marriage, she didn't dare to go too far.
There is always some hope for the future.
The original owner did not understand these things, so he felt even more depressed. He felt that his father did not know his lofty ambitions, and he had the idea of running away from home.
Of course, how much of this is due to the fear that after marrying Wu Qianhuan, he would be bullied and beaten by this yellow-haired girl every day is a matter of opinion.
That's what happened after all.
But I didn’t expect that this incident seemed to have a significant impact on Wu Qianhuan.
He also said something about the shame of the Truman family, which should be etched in our hearts... "Could the little girl be pretending? According to my memory of her, this girl is arrogant and will not approve of this marriage."
Chu Qing had already found out the information he wanted at this time, so he casually threw down the tea money.
After leaving the teahouse, he forgot about Wu Qianhuan's matter.
I strolled along the avenue, thinking about my plan in my mind, and bought a few fresh peaches from a roadside stall. While eating them, I thought:
“If it’s him, I can basically guess what he’s going to do tomorrow.
"However, the Evil Mirror Platform failed this time. The next time it attacks, it will be even harder to guard against... Who is the one behind the scenes who wants Chu Yunfei to die? Does this old man have any idea?
“It looks like there’s a lot to do tomorrow.
"Well, there will be many cooks and the waiter from Zhiweilou and Cuizhuxuan going to help out in the Chu family's kitchen tomorrow. The kitchen is close to the backyard, so maybe I can take the opportunity to sneak in and do something."
After he had made up his mind, he acted more slowly and steadily.
I casually visited a few shops, bought some things, and finally booked a room at the Bafang Inn.
There was no conversation that night, and Chu Qing got up before dawn the next day.
He also changed into a nightgown.
While it was still dark, he left under the cover of darkness and in just a few moments he arrived at an alley.
Then I heard footsteps coming one after another, and an urgent voice said:
“Hurry up, the Chu family is having a banquet today, and the buffet must be set up at dawn.
"The Chu family is very famous. If we complete this order, everyone will get a reward. We can't miss the opportunity."
They are from Zhiweilou.
And there are quite a lot of people. In addition to the cooks, there are also many waiters.
Following behind the second brother was a porter carrying a shoulder pole.
Some of these porters were carrying firewood. The Chu family was going to have a buffet for three days and three nights, so firewood was naturally indispensable.
Others were carrying wine. The most famous wine at Zhiweilou was Xianrenzui.
It is a must-have for every banquet in Tianwu City. The Chu family wants a lot this time, so there are many porters.
This was within Chu Qing's expectations.
He quietly watched the group of people walking through the narrow alley. Their bodies tilted and they swooped down from the top of the wall, like wild geese flying in the sky. They suddenly turned around and slowed down their diving momentum. They actually rose more than half a foot in the air. They landed on the ground silently and stood right behind a porter.
He reached out and grasped the porter's shoulder, and before he could react, he pressed his acupoints and dragged him into an alley on the side.
Carefully put down the carrying pole and the Immortal Wine inside.
Chu Qing was nimble and deft, and she stripped the porter's clothes off with great skill. In the blink of an eye, she had them on herself.
Then they tied the porter's hands behind his back and stuffed something into his mouth.
The effectiveness of acupressure will gradually fade away, and when the internal force dissipates, the acupoints will naturally become unblocked.
This was another preparation Chu Qing made to prevent him from escaping too early.
After settling the man down, Chu Qing stuffed another two taels of silver into his waistband.
After all, I took someone else's shoulder pole and robbed his clothes, so my business for today is ruined.
After all, you have to eat, so you have to give some compensation.
The reason why he stuffed it into the waistband of his pants was because he was worried that someone would find it and become greedy for money, causing unnecessary trouble.
After doing all this, Chu Qing picked up the shoulder pole and staggered forward. Using his lightness skills, he caught up with the group of people in front silently.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and no one noticed anything unusual.
