Chapter 942
She smiled, “Welcome to Kyoto.”
Opened his arms and hugged Georgie.
Bella Qiao was also happy, both because she had a clue so soon and because meeting Jenny was already a happy event.
Biden Lu was in the office at the moment, unable to greet them, so it was good that he had already called ahead.
They expressed their understanding and only waited for him to return from work before discussing the matter together.
After entering the house, Aunt Liu had already prepared a delicious meal.
She had heard of Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao, the last time Jenny had returned from Lin City, she hadn’t missed out on bringing local produce, and Aunt Liu had always been impressed by those things.
At this time, I felt even more handsome and beautiful men and women, quality and high, really are as beautiful as Mr. and Mrs. ah.
The group went into the dining room for dinner, but today both Little Competeze and Ann had classes, so neither was home, so it was a good time to fall quiet.
After dinner, Jenny took them for a stroll around Kyoto, which Gu Siqian was no stranger to as he hadn’t been in the country much because of the Gu family.
Rather, Bella Qiao, who was in China for the first time, was curious about every place.
The three of them walked along, and before long, they were downstairs in Gu’s building.
Jenny smiled, “How was it?When we get to your house, do you want to invite us up to sit down?”
Although Gu Si Qian has now taken over most of Gu’s business, this Gu building, he still doesn’t visit often.
Because of his mother, he still carries a hatred for the Gu family.
Although Gu Changhai had been trying to please him in recent years, that kind of hatred could not be eliminated in a day or two.
Therefore, when he heard Jenny’s words this time, he only glanced at them faintly and said, “If you want to go by yourself, aren’t you familiar with this place?”
Jenny saw that he seemed indignant, lightly laughing, “Tsk, I’m familiar with no you familiar with ah, okay, you do not want to go, forget it.I don’t mind, but I’m mainly thinking that Bella Qiao is here, how come she’s the future mistress of the place, isn’t it normal to inspect her territory?”
It was only after she said that that Gu Si Qian thought of this layer.
He even turned to look at Bella Qiao.
How could Bella Qiao not know what was in his heart, he had a grudge, so naturally he couldn’t push him much.
So with a gentle smile, “Let’s call it a day, we have a lot of places to go, so we’re not wasting time.”
Jenny Jing looked at the couple singing along and sighed helplessly.
“You guys are just treating me like air, but you can spill dog food.”
Bella Qiao pursed her lips and smiled.
The three of them strolled around until six in the afternoon, when the car arrived downstairs at Lu’s.
Jenny calls Biden Lu and asks if he’s off work, and if so, just to pick him up and take him back with her.
Biden Lu did not delay, and came down within minutes of receiving the call.
After getting into the car, the group didn’t rush back to the villa, but instead booked a spot at the nearby Tauranga and ate outside.
Once seated, Jenny ordered the food and waited for the time to be served, the four of them chatted about the purpose of their visit to China this time.
“That Master Qiu you were talking about before, Jenny checked yesterday, I’m sure you’re clear on the details, it just so happens that today I called my grandmother and she said that she had met this Master Qiu once, quite a bit, and was willing to introduce him for us, and I can accompany you to him then.”
Biden Lu said in a soft voice, and Bella Qiao’s eyes lit up.
“Really?That’s great.”
This afternoon in the car, Jenny had already told them about the information he had found out yesterday.
Knowing that this old man was no ordinary person, he was worried about whether people would be willing to help them if they rashly came to the door.
It’s a good thing now, with Mrs. Lu’s introduction, we must get twice the results with half the effort.
Biden Lu chuckled lightly, “Don’t be too optimistic yet, as far as I know, that old man Qiu, since his great granddaughter disappeared his temperament has changed drastically, not as easy to talk to as before, even with grandmother’s referral, it is unknown whether he would be willing to give up this piece of jade or not.”
Gu Si Qian’s eyebrows were lightly locked, “Whether he’s willing or not, I have to get the stuff.”
Biden Lu nodded, “We’ll see then, it’s really a good idea to think of something together.”
A few people chatted and the food came up, so they also stopped talking and turned to the food.
After the meal, the four of them went home together by car, Liu Auntie had already packed out the guest room, and all the living things had been prepared.
Because of the late hour, tomorrow morning to depart again, Gu Siqian did not go to visit the old lady and the old man, only a phone call to visit, in addition to the introduction of their thanks, and then went to bed.
The next day, Biden Lu arranged the company’s affairs and accompanied them to Ping City with Jenny Jing.
Located in the southern part of China, Pingcheng is a frontier city with a highly developed tourism industry.
The village where Master Qiu was located was just below Pingcheng, in a place called Wanjia Village.
This place was called Wanjia Village, which didn’t mean that everyone here was surnamed Wan, but rather that it used to be very prosperous and developed, with the largest population of 10,000 households, which was considered a lot of people in those days when the economy wasn’t developed.
Later, when the economy developed in the city and the young people left the countryside, fewer people were left in the village, and today, with the growing depression, it means that some of the people who have no means of livelihood are willing to stay in their hometowns and live on some handicrafts and some tourism.
It was still early in the day when the four arrived at Wanjia Village, and under the leadership of the locals, they arrived at the villa where Master Qiu was staying.
As the only family in this village with a villa, the Kew family wasn’t hard to find.
It’s a red-tiled, white-walled building in front of you, but the doors are locked, and there’s no one else around, behind a mountain.
Kusken stepped forward and fastened the door.
“Is anyone there?”
No one inside responded.
He buckled a few more times, but it was as if no one lived inside, not to mention responding.
He turned to the impromptu local guide and asked, “Are you sure Master Kew is home?”
The guide was a simple middle-aged man, scratching his head somewhat blankly, “I guess he’s in, he’s old, his eyes are bad, and he doesn’t usually go out, he should be at home at this time of the day.”
I said, not giving up, I knocked on the door myself and shouted some more in the local language.
After a half a dozen chimes, there was finally an echo from inside.
It was a voice that, though old and husky, was neutral.
“Stop knocking!Knock on the ghost. Knock!”
As the words were spoken, the door was opened from the inside.
Chapter 943
An old man with white hair and crutches appeared in front of the crowd.
Nearly ninety years old, even if he was in good health, he was already very old, and all I could see was the man in front of me with a slightly rickety back, a face covered in deep wrinkles, and a pair of cloudy, sharp eyes looking up at them.
“What’s wrong?What can I do for you?”
That local guide immediately explained, “Master, these are some noble people from the city who have come to see you for something, you talk to them, I’ll leave first.”
Afterwards, as if afraid of the plague possessing him, he immediately left.
Master Qiu didn’t care, only squinting his aged eyes, sharply examining them.
“Who are you guys?What can I do for you?”
Biden Lu took a step forward and said in a warm voice, “Master, I am Cen Xiu Feng’s grandson, she told you before, we will come to visit you today.”
Master Qiu frowned at once.
Half a dozen times before snickering, “Got it, came for that piece of shit, right!OK, come on in.”
He stepped back and let them in, but several people got the distinct impression that he wasn’t very happy about it and his tone wasn’t very good.
Several people looked at each other darkly and stepped into the house.
Jenny walked at the end and closed the door smoothly, before following Master Qiu into the living room.
“Your grandmother told me about you, I know you’re here for that jade, but I’m not afraid to tell you honestly, that thing isn’t jade at all, and I know all the rumors out there that it has some kind of ability to raise the dead and live forever.”
At that, he gave a mocking snort.
“What immortality?It’s okay to deceive you inexperienced young children, but when you reach my age you’ll understand that it’s all a lie, what kind of treasures in this world have I never seen?I’ve seen the immortality pill alone more than ten times. Which one works?But it’s all just a figment of the imagination of mortals who are greedy for the prosperity of this world.”
Jenny was busy agreeing.
“Master is highly insightful, just from your words, I can tell that you are not worldly, you are an extraordinary person.”
Master Qiu turned to look at her and smirked again.
“Don’t try to put a high hat on me, little girl, you think I’m going to give you my stuff if you say a few nice things?”
Jenny Jing’s face stiffened.
Gu Si Qian was calm and composed, saying, “Since the old man knows the purpose of our visit, I won’t beat around the bush with you, so you may as well be straightforward, what will it take to give us the things?”
Unexpectedly, Master Qiu just shook his head and waved his hand.
“No give.”
“What?”
Jenny Jing’s face changed, and so did Bella Qiao’s.
Several people frowned in unison.
Biden Lu explained, “Master Qiu, this is useless in your hands, but truth be told, we are relying on it to save our lives, and please, for grandmother’s sake, lift up your hand.”
Master Qiu sat down on an old wooden chair and looked at him with a bad smile.
“What do you mean, high and mighty?I know your old lady, but that was when I was young, and we haven’t seen each other for years, and now she’s the mother of the family.
As for you, what do I care if you live or die?Why should I save you?There are so many people dying every day in this world, if I had to rely on me to save their lives, wouldn’t I be busy and tired?”
He spoke in a tone that was quite gloomy.
As if it was because it was about Georgie’s life, it backfired on him.
Gu Si Qian’s eyebrows sank.
If Bella Qiao hadn’t been there to hold him back, he would have immediately lifted the table and grabbed something.
He sank into a deep breath, and only half a dozen times did he bring down the fire in his heart, saying in a deep voice, “The old man does not need to say these sarcastic words to provoke people, what are your demands, you may as well put them directly, if they can be met, Gu Mou will never refuse.”
Biden Lu also said, “I’m also willing to agree to one of Master Qiu’s conditions, but I will never refuse to do anything within my power.”
Master Qiu squinted at them deeply, then looked at Jenny and Bella Qiao.
“What about you guys?”
Jenny was stunned.
Bella Qiao was also stunned, a few glances at each other, Jenny Jing smiled, “Naturally, everything is only the old man’s request first, if you have any instructions, just say it, we will definitely do it.”
Master Qiu stroked the beard on his chin and seemed pleased with her attitude.
He considered for a moment, “I’ll tell you what, I’ve got a lot of laundry back there, and I think you two dolls look like hardworking people, so why don’t you go ahead and wash those clothes for me.”
All four of them were startled, why hadn’t they expected him to make this request.
Biden Lu and Gu Si Qian’s face are not too good, that’s their daughter-in-law, usually even their own clothes, they didn’t even bother to let them wash their own clothes, now actually want to help others wash their clothes?
However, before the two could object, they were interrupted by Jenny and Bella Qiao in unison.
“Okay, no problem, we’re on our way.”
Saying that, they held hands and walked to the backyard under the leadership of Master Qiu.
Jenny Jing originally thought that he was an old man’s clothes, how many could there be, besides, washing clothes was not a difficult task, put it in the washing machine to stir, and then hang it out to dry, wouldn’t it be finished?
It’s nothing at all for the sake of Georgie’s illness.
However, it was only in the backyard that I realized where the clothes weren’t much?
It’s obviously a lot!
I saw that there were probably dozens of pounds of clothes piled up in the open space in the backyard, and those clothes were so dirty it was as if they had been worn for months, and from a distance I could smell a sour smell emanating from them.
A few people frowned, and the old man pointed at the pile of clothes and said, “Just those, here, just finish washing them before the sun sets today.”
Biden Lu and Gu Si Qian’s faces became increasingly ugly, Jenny Jing said in a row, “No problem, may I ask where the washing machine is?”
As if Qiu heard a joke, his eyes widened and he burst out laughing sarcastically.
“The washing machine?Girl child, you are joking with me, we are in the countryside, where do we have that stuff, besides, those are my clothes made of the most precious fabric, can you afford to compensate if the washing machine is spoiled for me?”
Jenny Jing’s face changed.
“You mean, washing by hand?”
“Sure, no hand washing, do you wash with your feet?”
Biden Lu couldn’t help but speak up, but Jenny Jing held him back.
She took a deep breath and smiled stiffly, “No problem, don’t worry, we’ll have it washed before the sun sets this afternoon.”
Master Qiu saw that she had a good attitude, which made him nod his head in satisfaction, and looked at Gu Siqian and Biden Lu beside him.
Chapter 944
“Eh, I say, people’s two dolls know how to work, you also don’t idle, that roof above mine has been leaking for days, do you know how to fix the roof?Go help me fix the roof.”
Biden Lu’s face was as cold as ice, Jenny Jing took his sleeve and tugged on it, smiling, “Don’t worry old man, the roof will be repaired.”
The old man gave her a deep look before he left satisfied.
After he left, Gu Si Qian said in a deep voice, “I think this bad old man is tired of living, Ah Qiao, you guys don’t care about those dirty clothes, I don’t believe that when the knife is put on his neck, he will dare not hand over his things!”
Said the big somewhat sharpened knife.
Jenny looked at him and rolled his eyes.
“Fourth Young Master Gu, I’m sorry to tell you, but I’m afraid your set of rules won’t work for Master Qiu.”
Biden Lu frowned, “Why?”
Jenny sighed.
“He’s lived for a long time, and when he was younger he traveled extensively in the antique business, what kind of battles have he never seen?Besides, since grandmother has called him, it’s not like he doesn’t know who we are, and if he knows but still dares to make things difficult for us, naturally he doesn’t care about this anymore.
Now we are the ones who are asking for something, and he has it, so if he won’t tell you, I guess even if you guys do kill him, he may not tell you.
You guys don’t care if he lives or dies, you always have to care about Georgie’s life, it’s not good for us to have a falling out, so just hold on for now, the good news is it’s just roof repair and laundry, it’s nothing, and you can just get your stuff in your hands.”
After hearing her explain, Biden Lu and Gu Si Qian also came back to their senses.
Bella Qiao also nodded, “Yeah, well it’s a good thing we’re not being asked to kill and set fires, we’re asking for something and it’s never a good idea for someone to give us something for free, so why don’t we just listen to him first and see what he says later.”
It was only then that the two men nodded, and each was instructed to give some instructions, before they split up.
With so many clothes, it’s naturally inconvenient to wash them in the yard.
So, with directions from their village neighbours, Bella and Jenny moved their clothes to the river, which is where they began to wash them.
Jenny used to have a hard time, but by and large life was fine, not reduced to having to hand wash so many clothes.
So, this was the first time she had ever, in one go, washed so many clothes.
Most importantly, the clothes had been worn for I don’t know how long, and they were crusty with so much dirt that it was a good thing they were all dark, so you couldn’t see it without looking closely, or they would be even harder to wash.
She joked and sighed as she washed.
“Bella Qiao ah, but now a pair of hands signed with billions of orders to help you wash clothes ah, and two pairs of tens of billions of hands to help you repair the roof, you must fight a little, get better soon, otherwise not say sorry yourself, you are sorry us ah.”
Bella Qiao puffed out a laugh.
“Gotta, why don’t you take a break and I’ll wash myself?”
Jenny raised his eyebrows.
“Are you sure you can do all this laundry by yourself before the sun goes down?”
Bella Qiao answered honestly, “It’s not finished washing.”
“That’s not it?”
She smiled gently, “But don’t be discouraged, although Master Qiu is giving us a hard time, but from my intuition, he’s not an evil person, as long as we go along with him, he’ll definitely hand over the things later.”
Bella Qiao was silent.
For a moment, barely smiling, “Jenny, thank you.”
Jenny Jing was stunned, noticed her look and smiled, “What’s the matter, don’t think too much, we’re friends, helping each other is the right thing to do.”
Georgie nodded, “Yeah, I understand.”
Although she said so, she knew in her heart that this time, she and Gu Siqian owed Jenny and Biden Lu a really big debt of gratitude.
After all, it’s nothing for you to ask these two guys, to give you a business deal, it’s their home turf, they’re veterans.
But now it is, leaving them to beg low and low, even to help with hand washing and roofing.
It’s not enough to repay this kind of favor.
She dropped her eyes slightly and tightened her fingers on the dress, half-heartedly, before taking a deep breath and washing up hard.
It took until the sun was about to go down to wash the four full buckets of laundry.
Biden Lu and Gu Si Qian also mended the roof and came over to pick them up when they saw that they were late returning.
Once they came over, they found both men lying weakly on the boulders by the river, and when they saw them approaching, Jenny waved at them.
“Eh, this way!”
They came running quickly, and Jenny pointed to the four buckets of clothes, “You guys can carry them, we’re out of energy.”
Only then did Biden Lu notice that after half a day of washing clothes, Jenny Jing’s delicate white fingers were now blistered white.
Wrinkle after wrinkle on the skin from the soaking water, not a frown of distress.
Jenny noticed his gaze and hid his hand, laughing again, “It’s fine, I’ll make up for it after a short rest.”
Gu Si Qian looked deeply at her and said, “Jenny, I’ll take down this favor.”
Jenny Jing squinted with a wry smile, “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind as well, you two can’t be excused if you need help in the future.”
“Sure.”
Seeing that they were almost rested, the two men took two buckets of clothes each and headed back together.
On the way, Bella Qiao asked, “Do you think Master Qiu will give us the stuff now that we’re back?”
Gu Si Qian sneered, “He has to give it or not.”
Biden Lu also agreed with the nod, “Yes, although based on the fact that we were the ones who begged, we accomplished what he said, but this matter can’t be completely left up to him, the so-called courtesy before arms, there has to be a limit to the embarrassment, if we are really led by his nose, it would be a mistake.”
Jenny nodded approvingly.
The group returned to Master Qiu’s villa and were about to call him out to inspect the goods, but found no one home.
When I came out and asked, I realized that he had gone out temporarily.
The four frowned.
Jenny looked to Biden Lu, “What now?”
Biden Lu chanted for a while, “Wait, he’s an old man, he can’t run far, he has to come back somehow, he might have gone out on a temporary errand, wait a bit.”
All three of them nodded at the news.
The group sat in the living room and waited up.
This wait, however, went right up to ten o’clock at night.
It’s dark and quiet outside, and if we wait any longer, it will be past midnight, but we haven’t even seen Master Qiu’s shadow.
They just felt out of place.
Gu Si Qian’s face was very ugly, plating steps back and forth in the living room, half a sound, angry voice: “If this bad old man dares to run, catch him I’ll break his legs first.”
Jenny frowned and looked at him.
