Ruan Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the malicious eyes of the people around him, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that the matter is over.

According to the previous agreement of the three, the troops were divided into two groups, and finally they met at Tianxiang Tower.

Li Haitang was about to leave Licheng, and the only thing Li Haitang missed the most was the seafood in Licheng.

Not long after the couple arrived at Tianxiang Tower, Ruan Pingzhi came in later, because they couldn't see each other's faces in the black market, so they had to rely on the jade pendant as a token to recognize each other.

"here."

I have been here once, Li Haitang is familiar with the shopkeeper, and asked to arrange a private room on the second floor, with the door closed, there is a private space, suitable for talking.

"Brother, sister, Ruan is very grateful."

Ruan Pingzhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the jade pendant hanging at the door. On the way here, he was still worried that if the couple took away the prescription and traded it, they could exchange it for a large sum of money, and there was no need to fulfill the agreement.

At first, the other party agreed to help. He guessed that it might be out of his own honesty, and besides, he had an unusual background, so he was definitely not a person that ordinary people can get in touch with.

Ruan Pingzhi was a little complacent. After coming out of the black market, he was clear-headed and gradually calmed down. They only had a verbal agreement, and they had never met each other. Even if they took away his medicine, he couldn't find a place to reason.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

Meeting by chance, the other party was so honest, Ruan Pingzhi's hanging heart fell to the ground, and he was a little moved.

"Of course we are."

Seeing the real face of the other party, Li Haitang almost shed tears. He is gentle and handsome, with a bookish air all over his body. If you only look at the face, it is the younger Ruan Shi, which is too similar.

Food was served quickly in Tianxiang Building, and it was heard that Miracle Doctor Li had arrived. The shopkeeper greeted the chef and stopped all work to serve the Miracle Doctor.

In just over a quarter of an hour, all kinds of seafood were brought to the table, introduced by the buddy, and there was the last stewed fish in an iron pot, which took a little longer.

"So, it's troublesome."

Li Haitang grabbed a handful of copper coins for the clerk, and closed the door himself, then turned around and said to Ruan Pingzhi, "Brother Ruan, or should I be called cousin?"

When Nian Ruan was alive, she hardly mentioned her natal family. She was a lady from a great family, and she ended up living in seclusion in the village, washing, cooking, and doing housework with those rough women. She didn't know how she got here.

"cousin?"

Ruan Pingzhi repeated the same sentence, and it took him a while to understand the meaning of the words. He shivered, threw the teacup away, stood up abruptly, and said with wide eyes, "Could it be...could it be you..."

"It's just what you think, so it's a coincidence."

Li Haitang's face was serious, she didn't seem to be joking at all, to prove that she didn't come up to climb high branches, she untied the lanyard around her neck and took off the jade pendant.

Before Ruan's death, Li Haitang changed the red string to the original owner's token for fear of wear and tear.

There is a Ruan character on it, which is the jade pendant that only the direct descendants of the Ruan family in Kyoto can have, it can't be wrong!

"Cousin, this... this..."

Ruan Pingzhi carefully identified the jade pendant, which is really surprising. He went to Licheng to seek a son, and strayed into the black market. He never expected to have an adventure.

It's only a few hours, to get the prescription and find the cousin, double happiness.

After the Duanyang Festival, he went all the way north from Kyoto, traveling in the mountains and rivers, and kept participating in poetry confabulations. He spent the longest time in Licheng.

Ruan Pingzhi originally planned that if he couldn't find anyone to help him today, he would find a caravan and set off early tomorrow morning.

In October of the lunar calendar, heavy snow fell in the border town, and it was icy cold. He couldn't stand the severe cold, and had to go back to Beijing for a reunion before the year before. The time to find someone was fully calculated, only two months.

"Cousin, why did you come to Licheng? Is my aunt here?"

The cousins ​​met each other, and there were too many things to say, but he didn't know where to start. Ruan Pingzhi could only focus on the key points and ask important questions first.

"Mother has been gone for a year."

Li Haitang was disappointed, this year, time flew by, she could hardly feel the passage of time, it passed by in a blink of an eye.

Ruan Pingzhi was not very surprised. The Ruan family is the daughter of a noble family, how can he adapt to the life of a farm family? Before he came, he had thought about this problem. Aunt was afraid that she would die of depression, but she didn't want to, so she actually said it as a prophecy.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment. The guy knocked on the door and served the last dish, which was big fish stewed in an iron pot.

During the conversation between the siblings, Xiao Lingchuan had already peeled a few shrimps, and then used a toothpick to remove the fishy thread on their backs, and put them in his wife's bowl.

At this moment, it was time for dinner, and the guests downstairs were chatting and laughing.

"Cousin, let's chat while eating."

Li Haitang greeted Ruan Pingzhi, and praised him repeatedly with shrimp dipped in the seafood sauce made from Tianxiang powder.

Seeing this, Ruan Pingzhi also started to put down his chopsticks. It was hard to find my cousin, she was already married, and even married to a big guy with no winks.

After all, he was also a famous uncle, but he couldn't get a toast from the other party.

However, Ruan Pingzhi no longer cared about the minutiae when his stomach sang empty city tricks, and frequently lowered his chopsticks to comfort his empty stomach.

The food and wine in Tianxianglou is worthy of being the best in Licheng, and it is indeed outstanding.

The three of them had a meal, and the atmosphere was better than that night with Zhang Ruyi and his wife. Unknowingly, Li Haitang's appetite increased and he ate a lot.

After drinking and eating, Li Haitang took a sip of tea before talking about his life for many years.

She is not the original owner, so many details have long been forgotten. The most impressive thing happened in the last year.

"I also have a younger brother, Li Jinhu, who is currently studying at Lushan Academy in Lucheng."

Speaking of this year, although it has been said quickly, the changes have been earth-shaking.

She will never forget what the Li family did when she was placed under house arrest in a small courtyard.

Mrs. Li wanted to sell her for money, and the whole family hoped to make a fortune by selling her, and they wanted to ruin her for an old man who buried half his body in the ground.

Not only that, there is a hidden vicious cousin Li Qiuju by her side, who plots against her and makes her a death contract slave of the Qin family.

If he hadn't met the savage husband, Li Haitang could imagine how miserable his life was.

"The Li family, you are really deceiving!"

The scholar is gentle and can't swear too harsh words. After hearing this, Ruan Pingzhi trembled with anger and his face turned red.

He was enjoying life in the capital, but he didn't know that his little cousin was living such a life in Beidi, and that the Li family actually bullied their Ruan family, so audacious!

"Old lady Li doesn't know the identity of mother, that's why she dares to act presumptuously."

Li Haitang pondered, even if she guessed that the Ruan family had no one to rely on for so many years, Mrs. Li wouldn't notice it, would she?

That person has always been bullying and afraid of hard work, watching people order dishes.

"Auntie, why bother!"

Although the Ruan family announced that the Ruan family had passed away, it was impossible for the Ruan family to let go of their old love. For so many years, they never saw their aunt bowing their heads. Every New Year's Eve, my grandmother's emotions will be affected. Everyone in the family knows that my grandmother misses her daughter, but she can't save face and find someone.
