Chapter 197 The name on the tombstone (Get married!)

   Chapter 197 The name on the tombstone (Get married!)

The development of this engagement banquet was so lively that no one expected it. I am afraid that if they were killed, they would not be able to think that someone would dare to do things in the Quan family’s field, and pointed the finger at Qing Yu, the prospective daughter-in-law of the Quan family in the future. , Quan Jingting’s daughter-in-law.

And once this movement was made, it became so big. It was absolutely amazing. Just the information on the falling pieces of paper, I am afraid this Qingyu will have to come off the stage. What kind of family is the Quan family, and the daughter-in-law here is still there. After making such a fuss before entering the door, I’m afraid Quan Feng and Su Luoying felt uncomfortable at this moment.

   Quan Yulin listened to Xiao Xiao’s words, got up in the fog and stared at the woman on the stage, “What do you mean? What do you mean she changed the girl Jing Ting likes? Can you clarify?”

   “Yes, what’s the matter?”

   “What does this girl mean? Could it be that her brain is broken?” The person below began to whisper.

  But some of them knew Xiao Xiao. Looking at her appearance, they began to discuss with the people around them, “This girl is Xiao Lin’s daughter. Did the Xiao family get stimulated after an accident?”

   “Really? It’s really Xiao Lin’s daughter.”

Facing the whispers of the people around, Xiao Xiao looked at Quan Yulin who was below him, “Miss Quan is so smart, haven’t you seen it these few days, is there anything wrong with this Qingyu? She and you liked her in the past. Is it the same?”

Quan Yulin stepped forward and walked onto the stage. Qingyu and Zhang Xue stood together. She looked up and down at the woman on the stage. Indeed, Qingyu has indeed changed a lot during this time, but Xiao Xiao What he said was a little too unbelievable.

   Two different people, no matter how much they change, they cannot be exactly the same.

   “This person is a lunatic, drag her down!” Qing Jianye ordered the people around him.

  Rongye looked at Xiao Xiao on the stage and said loudly, “Don’t move, Miss Xiao is standing on top, so naturally she wants to finish listening to her.”

  Rongye’s identity is here, and his relationship with Quan Jingting is also known to everyone. His words naturally represent Quan Jingting’s meaning. On such occasions, Quan Shao did not stand up to defend his fiancee.

   seems to be enough to explain the problem.

Xiao Xiao turned to look at Qingyu, with cold eyes in his eyes, “Don’t you dare to say it? What the **** is going on with your face? Before you came back from country H, before your car accident, your real face would be ignored. It doesn’t look like this, but after your car accident, after you came back, it changed inexplicably, didn’t you want to replace her?”

   “Xiao Xiao, what are you talking about, I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.” Qingyu took a step back and leaned in front of Zhang Xue.

   She knows what she should be like now to easily arouse the sympathy of others. That woman is already dead, and no one can expose her. From beginning to end, she has appeared in the imperial capital as a pure girl.

only one.

  Xiong Ni threw away the things in her hands. No one in Dijing knew her anyway. Going out now was considered a warm-up. She lowered her head and wiped off the makeup on her face with a wet tissue, revealing her original face.

   This will make it impossible to take care of so much. Xiao Xiao is too pitiful to stand there alone. She needs a comrade-in-arms, and that comrade-in-arms is her Xiong Ni.

   “I’ll tell everyone what happened.” She got up and walked forward.

   Seeing Xiong Ni walking slowly from behind, Lin Feng and Hei Ya’s faces moved slightly. Isn’t this one of the two missing sisters from the cake shop? How could they appear here?

How is this going.

  Su Luoying looked curiously at Xiong Ni who came out, and the eyes of the surrounding guests all fell on Xiong Ni without exception.

  Xiao Xiao saw Xiong Ni, and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily. She thought that Xiong Ni and Concubine Wen had moved out of Dijing, but she didn’t say goodbye to her, and she was still sad. She didn’t expect this person to appear here.

Stepping on her high heels and standing on the stage, Xiong Ni looked at the person below her angrily, raised her finger and pointed at Qingyu beside her, “Everyone knows that Qingyu lost her memory after returning from country H, and she forgot everything in the past. I can’t remember at all.”

   “Yes, Qingyu’s amnesia is something that the entire Imperial Capital knows about.” Quan Yulin followed her words.

An inscrutable smile appeared on Xiong Ni’s face, and she pointedly pointed at the person beside her, “Let me tell you, the real Qingyu had a car accident, and when she was half-dead, the Qing family took my sister from the H country. When I came back, I pretended to be Qingyu. At that time, something happened to my sister and she lost her memory. The Qing family used the fact that she was Qingyu to deceive her. The amnesiac Qingyu you saw some time ago was my sister. ”

   Now the people below are even more confused, it’s all messed up, people’s head hurts when they hear it.

  Su Luoying looked at Xiong Ni on the stage, she had seen this person before, wasn’t she the proprietress of the cake shop next to Qingyu flower shop.

“My sister was born with a good skin and looks beautiful. Destiny made her and Quan Shao know each other and fell in love with each other. The two were about to get married. At this time, the real Qingyu woke up, she was jealous, and the Qing family also Out of jealousy, I made her half-finished face look like my sister, and replaced my sister. It’s such a drama.” Xiong Ni said so impassively that she almost got excited.

   Naya, who was at the bottom of her head, silently compared her thumbs movement, praise, I didn’t expect Xiong Ni to have such a skill, it’s really amazing.

   Quan Jingting looked at Xiong Ni emerging from the side, his eyes were deep, Lin Feng walked behind him and dropped a sentence in the man’s ear.

   “So, the girl that brother Quan liked back then wasn’t Qingyu at all? Was it another woman?” After all, Quan Yulin had already reflected that who belonged to the Quan family.

  The expression on the face of the old man Qing has changed, what happened to Cheng Yaojin who was killed halfway, and where did this girl’s film come from.

“Yes, Shao Quan likes my sister, but my sister has been killed by this woman. She has plastic surgery to look like my sister, and she wants to take everything from my sister.” Xiong Ni’s performance can become a After the movie.

   Xiao Xiao was taken aback by this wave of her actions. It’s okay to kill Xiong Ni halfway. When did Lian Yue become her sister? It doesn’t seem to make sense.

  Qingyan looked at Qingyu who was blushing on the stage, closed his eyes, he knew it would be like this for a long time, but there are many things that have to be paid for if they are done.

Everyone was in an uproar, what is going on with the Qing family? It’s really ridiculous that such a ridiculous thing can be done. Find an irrelevant person to replace his daughter. The person was taken away, and the face of his daughter was changed and put on top.

   This doesn’t seem to be something that a normal person’s brain circuit can do.

  The cup in Mr. Quan’s hand slammed heavily on the table, making a crisp sound, which startled the people around him.

   “Nonsense, what a mess! Quan Feng, please clarify for me, the door of my Quan’s house is not so easy to enter!” The old man said angrily.

  Su Luoying only felt a pain in her head. No wonder Qingyu had changed so strangely during this period of time. It turned out to be the reason.

   Now it’s clear.

   “Jing Ting, you already knew she wasn’t the girl you liked, right?” Su Luoying looked at her son, who was languidly and casually.

   That is, he knew from the beginning that the man had been exchanged.

  The man didn’t see Yu clearly from the beginning to the end, but she could feel the strong contempt and disdain.

  Qingyu broke free from her mother’s hand and took a step forward, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, “Quan Jingting, you are planning to give up all the time, so you made up such a scene with these women to insult me?!”

   With such a change, the scene became the scene of being questioned by a woman who was always in chaos and abandoned.

  The man’s eyes fell on her, his tone was indifferent, with absolute disdain, “Are you worthy?”

The sentence “Are you worthy” shows what Quan Jingting’s attitude is, and the people below know what he means. From the very beginning, Young Master Quan didn’t look at this woman, not even taking a glance from the corner of his eye. I don’t care about it at all, that’s the reason for the feelings.

  Xiao Xiao looked at Qingyu, then released the last killer, “Everyone present, have you ever been to my flower shop, please raise your hand.”

   There are also girls of the same age as them. Naturally, there are people who have been to Qingyu flower shop. They soon saw this side of Naya’s table, and the two girls stood up.

   These are the two daughters of a distant cousin of Su Luoying, who happened to be studying in the imperial capital. This trip came here instead of the family.

   “Did you see that there are two cats in our flower shop?” Xiao Xiao asked.

The two girls below    looked at each other and confirmed, “Yes, they are two cats that have been corroded by sulfuric acid.”

  This is also a feature of the flower shop. The two cats can be seen through the glass and are often brought lazily in the shop. One of them is the one in Quan Jingting’s house.

“You all know that Qingyu put it in the flower shop, and it’s also her cat, but this one on stage has severe allergies since he was a child, and can’t touch the fur of animals. If you don’t believe me, I’m just right I brought the two cats here, let’s see if she dares to hold the cat and stand for ten minutes.” Xiao Xiao looked at Qingyu.

  Qingyu took two steps back without making a sound. She didn’t expect that Xiao Xiao, a slut, had a back-up move, and her face couldn’t be beaten to death.

  Quan Jingting raised his eyes and looked around, the situation was still calm, the man was in little interest, his slender figure went down, and he walked to the old man step by step.

   Up to now, she still hasn’t come.

   “Okay, things have turned out like this, I think this marriage is okay, our Quan family can’t marry such a woman to enter the door.” The old man spoke first.

  Eizhu can’t produce good bamboo shoots. This girl from the Qing family is still the same as the Qing family. After listening to it for so long, the old man can be considered to understand, but the girl that Jing Ting likes can’t be found.

  The girl has a good appearance, a weak temperament, and a dignified atmosphere. She can hold up the Quan family. The old man gave her a little family because she was Qingshui’s granddaughter, and he felt uncomfortable.

   Who would have thought, this is what happened.

“Master, you can’t decide like that, we Qingyu is an innocent girl, now everyone knows that she is going to be the daughter-in-law of the Quan family, you can’t just throw her away without any reason. “Zhang Xue looked at the old man and said.

   “Huh, if you want reasons, aren’t all the people standing on this stage all reasons!” The old man said with his expression unchanged.

Qingshui stood up, with an attitude of not giving in at all, “Brother Quan, it’s unreasonable for you to do this, the marriage of the two children has been decided, you can’t just wipe this marriage because of the nonsense of two people who don’t understand. Go, let’s clear the house, it’s not so easy to bully!”

Qingshui’s words were full of anger, and he completely regarded Xiao Xiao and Xiong Ni as those who came to cause trouble. His face was not red or his heart skipped a beat when he said a word. It was not clear that he could not find evidence. In the end, it was just the right Jing Ting is just the reason for the chaos and abandonment.

“Master Qing, since we Jing Ting also said that the Qing Yu on the stage was not his favorite, then the marriage will naturally be over, and if what these two young ladies said is true, we may have to pursue it. The matter of your impostors.” Su Luoying looked at the old man opposite.

This year, the Quan family is unfavorable for their fleeting years, Quan Jingchen’s marriage has been smashed, and it is hard to wait for Quan Jingting, and it is like this again. Fortunately, this is an engagement, if it is really a marriage, marrying such a daughter-in-law , but there will be some uproar in the future.

“The marriage contract that the Qingquan family made twenty-three years ago is known to all the people of the Imperial Capital. Now that the marriage is openly repented, it is still on such an occasion, because of some false accusations, I am afraid it is not justified.” Qing Jianye stood in The position beside Shimizu opened his mouth.

   Quanfeng looked at the people across from him, “It’s not Qingyu who made a marriage plan with our Jingting.”

   “It was decided with the Qing family. Since my brother’s granddaughter has died, it is natural for my family to take over.” Qingshui’s eyebrows were cold.

   Today’s marriage has been decided, and the Quan family can’t go back on anything they say.

Rongye got up and walked slowly to Quan Jingting’s side, with a sarcastic smile on his face, “Master Qing, my people are not bad, I can find out a lot of things in just a few days. , Whether this Qingyu is of inferior quality, I think I should have the ability to find out, whether the words of the two people standing on the stage are true or false.”

   “Besides, I haven’t heard of anyone rushing to send their daughter-in-law off. If others don’t look down on it, don’t embarrass each other, right?”

Quan Jingting is willing to come here today because he wants to wait for his precious little ancestor to come over, but this person didn’t wait. He is already in a very bad mood at this moment, and the Qing family is still playing rogues here. This is not forcing him. It’s not a sensible thing to do.

   “I think outsiders should stop talking, Rong Shao is indeed very capable.” Qing Jianye stared at Rong Ye and said something.

Zhang Xue saw the situation and started to cry while holding her daughter to cry, “My daughter, why is your life so hard? You almost lost your life in a car accident. Now, I met another bad-hearted man.”

  Mrs. Qing has always been dignified and noble in the eyes of outsiders, but today, she is almost the same as a village woman playing and rolling on the ground, which is really shocking.

“Mrs. Qing, I think you should pay more attention to your manners. Your Qing family made a mistake in this matter first. If you can find someone to pretend to be your daughter, you can even change your face. You can do such incredible things. Don’t say she’s not the woman we Jing Ting likes, even if she is, she can’t enter the door of our Quan family today, we don’t need such a daughter-in-law in our Quan family.” Su Luoying said every word.

   “So the Quan family is going to regret their marriage?” Shimizu looked at the Quan family opposite.

   Quan Jingchen and Quan Jingting disdain to say a word to such a person. In their eyes, it is dirty to talk to such a person.

“You don’t have to be stubborn, Jing Ting doesn’t like it, you can’t do anything about it, you can get my sister-in-law back for me as soon as possible, otherwise I’ll send you to court!” Quan Yulin stared at Qingyu and said .

   “Quan Jingting, you can’t treat me like this, how much I have suffered for you since I was a child, you can’t treat me like this.” Qingyu reached out to pull his sleeve but was avoided by the man.

   “You can’t treat me like this! Quan Jingting, I’m your fiancée. The marriage contract between the two families has been settled. You can’t regret the marriage. I can’t beat a fake who came out halfway!”

   This sentence is considered a roar. Everyone knows that what Xiao Xiao and Xiong Ni said are correct.

   There are really two Qingyu.

“The daughter-in-law appointed by Jing Ting in our family, if she lives to this day, she must be outstanding in beauty and virtue. It won’t be like this. You Qingyu is not worthy of my grandson!” The old man stared at Qingyu and said the cruelest words .

   “Mr. Qing, you don’t need to be entangled anymore. The Qing family made such a scandal today. I think you should reflect on your own mistakes.” Quan Jingchen said to the old man Qing and Qing Jianye.

“It’s all excuses, these are all your excuses! Who can prove that what the two of them said is true, no one can prove it! No one!” Qingyu pointed at Xiao Xiao and Xiong Ni with trembling fingertips, her face presumptuous smile.

   A dead woman, she does not believe that she can climb out of the grave.

   “I can prove it!” A female voice came from the door.

   Qingling and calm voice, there is no lack of girl’s tenderness, and there is no lack of calm and self-controlled momentum.

   Lin Feng, who had just walked to Quan Jingting and was about to speak, closed his mouth, well, he didn’t need to come over to report anything, this person came in by himself.

Time stopped for a moment. There was no sound in the hall. Everyone turned their heads and saw a woman wearing a beige trench coat and long leather boots walking in slowly from the door. She is tall and tall, with long hair scattered behind her head, and a pair of black sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, blocking half of her face.

Stepping on the red carpet, she walked slowly from the other side. Concubine Wen followed behind her, wearing clothes of the same color, but without sunglasses. The identities of her and Xiong Ni were estimated to have been lost after they disappeared together with Lian Yue. The person who was being scolded by Quan Jingting felt something was wrong.

  Anyway, they still don’t know that the boss is from IE, so it’s right to accompany Lian Yue to support the scene.

   Quan Jingting stood in the middle, and when he saw the woman walking in, his eyes flickered, like fireworks that had been blown up, his whole face was extremely bright.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the woman who appeared out of thin air. Lian Yue walked up to Quan Jingting, raised her hand and took off her sunglasses. Her enchanting face was exposed in the air, and was watched by the people around her. thoroughly.

“what”

“how so?”

   Surrounding Ran sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at the face that was the same as the woman on the stage, the two looked exactly the same, what happened, how could it be like this.

  The Qing family stared wide-eyed and looked at Lian Yue opposite. This woman had obviously fallen into the sea and drowned. How could she have appeared here? Qing Yan’s face was filled with disbelief but joy.

  She didn’t die, so Qingyu’s sins would be less.

   “I said, today is a good day, we are getting engaged today, but this day is set by me, why didn’t you wait for me to come?” Lian Yue looked at the man in front of her with a smile on her face.

  Quan Jingting lowered his head and looked at the woman who was a bit shorter than him. His knuckled fingers held her slender palm and embraced her, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

  Lian Yue pressed against his shoulder, but her eyes were slightly red, and there were faint tears.

She had already given up. The ends of the earth are irrelevant. Quan Jingting is qualified to have a better one. People like him should find a gentle and generous wife for a lifetime. They can stand together in the sun and enjoy the envy of everyone. look.

  Everything, she couldn’t do it, but until now, Lian Yue realized that she couldn’t pass the test in her heart.

  Perhaps for him, he can restrain his sharp claws, turn into a gentle and graceful appearance, and become the most suitable wife for Quan Jingting in the eyes of outsiders.

  Xiong Ni rushed down and stood next to Concubine Wen, and whispered, “I don’t know why the boss came here.”

   Shouldn’t you have informed her in advance, this incident was just right, why was it suddenly interrupted, if she made up some unscrupulous story and the boss appeared, wouldn’t this be a slap in the face?

   “It was decided temporarily, so I didn’t say anything.” Concubine Wen herself was stunned.

  Lian Yue was called out by Qin Shanglin last night and didn’t know what to say. After coming back, the boss locked himself in the room for half an hour, and he came to Dijing when he came out.

   On the way, Yue didn’t even say a word, and I don’t know what the husband and the boss said.

  Lian Yue’s appearance has confirmed Xiao Lin’s words, that Qingyu on stage is not the woman that Shao Quan likes, but she is really a jerk. Now that the Lord is back, shouldn’t he have to make way.

   Seeing how Young Master Quan was holding her, he knew that this was really on the top of his heart.

   “Impossible! Impossible, how did you come back? Why did you appear here??” Qing Yu looked at Lian Yue almost in a panic, that face appeared again.

   “You’re really fake, I said how could your Qing family do such a thing? Impostor, do you think our brother Quan is a fool?” Quan Yulin took Qing Yu’s wrist.

  The conscience of this woman is really bad, so she can do such a thing.

   “Since the girl Jing Ting likes has returned, the engagement banquet should also continue. If Mr. Qing is willing to stay and watch the ceremony, we are naturally welcome.” Quan Nian’s heart came out with this tone.

  This girl he liked at the beginning, the only grudge was that she was Shimizu’s granddaughter, but not now, his Quan family naturally welcomed her happily.

   “No need.” Quan Jingting said, looking around, “other people’s place is not worthy of her.”

   His wife, whatever it is, is naturally the best.

Lian Yue took two steps and looked at Qingyu on the stage. This was the first time she had seen this woman who had undergone plastic surgery so close to her. She had to say that the agency was really not capable. Small, able to make her face so similar to herself.

“Mr. Quan won’t forget what I said just now. Our Qingyu is Quan Jingting’s fiancee. Why, the Quan family is going to violate the old covenant of the year?” Qing Jianye stared at Quan Nian without giving in at all. .

   “Yes, are you going to violate the old covenant? What do you think of our Qing family? Our Qing family is not so easy to bully!” Zhang Xue roared along with her husband’s words.

  The Qing family killed the old testament of those years and will not let it go.

   This lively show was big enough, and the people in the audience began to whisper, the Qing family was not kind enough.

Lian Yue let go of Quan Jingting’s hand, took a step forward, and stood in front of Qing Jianye, “Why did Mr. Qing bring me back from country H a year ago, and where did he bring me? Let’s leave it alone for the time being, I will settle this account with you, I, Lian Yue, have never been someone who can be used at will, and I can always find out what medicine you sell in your gourd.”

Qing Jianye was a little frightened by the gleam in the woman’s eyes. When she was in the Qing family, she was able to restrain her anger. Except for the terrible eyes, but now, the ferocity in her bones seemed to be fully exposed. .

   His eyes were not angry and arrogant, like Quan Jingting.

The man behind   ’s eyes fell on her, full of doting.

   “But today, I’m not here to tell you this, but to take back what belongs to me.”

   “Your stuff? What?” Qing Jianye had a cold face.

  Lian Yue pointed at the person beside him, “He.”

   Quan Jingting smiled and held her fingertips, listening to the woman’s declaration of sovereignty, her heart seemed to be floating in the air.

Qingshui walked over two steps, the crutch in his hand slammed on the ground heavily, making a sound that was neither light nor heavy, this marriage, his Qing family absolutely cannot let it go, and Duan Duan did not let a woman of unknown origin rob his granddaughter’s husband. .

   He hasn’t been bullied like this yet.

   “Little girl, no matter where you come from, you know your shame as a person. I’m afraid it doesn’t make sense for you to come out and rob someone else’s fiancé.” Qingshui stared at Lian Yue and said confidently.

   Hearing this, Xiong Ni’s temper suddenly came up, and she was about to rush out. Concubine Wen grabbed her and said, “What are you doing?”

   “Don’t pull me, I’ll smash that old rascal.”

   Concubine Wen leaned into her ear, “Look at what the boss is doing, she didn’t speak, you are not allowed to move.”

  Xiao Xiao stepped down and walked to Xiong Ni and Concubine Wen. She hadn’t come out of the joy of Lian Yue’s return. It was really good. No one died, everything was fine.

   “Should you two explain to me what’s going on?”

   Concubine Wen smiled, just because Xiao Xiao was angry with their boss, she was their friend, “I’ll tell you later, but now I can’t tell for a while.”

   “Qing Lao, what you said is a bit too much. It was your daughter who had plastic surgery to look like someone else. How could it be hers?”

   “Okay, I don’t want to talk about you. Today’s marriage, your Quan family is going to destroy the old covenant!” Qingshui shouted loudly.

   Quanfeng also got a headache from such unreasonable people. There are still people like this in this world.

“My brother Quan Jingting decided that it wasn’t your family’s Qingyu. According to what you said, in the future, anyone with the surname Qing, who has a daughter, will bring her daughter to come to my brother, my Quan family. The threshold of this is going to be trampled on.” Quan Jingchen looked at the person opposite him in a relaxed manner.

“you”

“I heard that twenty-three years ago, Mr. Quan brought Quan Jingting to set up Qingfeng’s granddaughter with three media and six hires, and handed one of the pair of heirloom jade rings from the Su family in Qingcheng to the Qing family who was still in the baby. The baby girl in the middle is used as a token, and this marriage is decided, am I right?” Lian Yue suddenly looked at Mr. Quan and asked.

   After the old man nodded, she looked at Qing Jianye, “Since you said this marriage is yours, then take out the security that Quan Jingting gave you, and the Quan family will recognize this marriage.”

   Old Master Qing squinted at her, “What do you mean?”

   “But the Qing family can’t get it?” Lian Yue looked at the old man Qing.

This matter is known in the circle of the older generation of Emperor Jing. It is not a secret. Everyone knows that the children of Qingjianguo were burned to death in the fire along with Liu Ye, but nothing was left. What happened to Qingshui? There may be this safety buckle.

   Quan Jingchen looked at Lian Yue, his eyes narrowed slightly, this girl is probably not simple.

   “Of course you can’t take it out.” Lian Yue raised her hand and loosened her fingers. A round safety buckle fell from her palm and moved slightly in mid-air. The connected red thread was held on her index finger.

   “Because of this thing, on me.”

Su Luoying stared at the safety button that appeared. No one knew better than her that it was her dowry. She followed her from Qingcheng to the Imperial Capital, and then gave one to Quan Jingting and the other as a The token of engagement was handed over by Quan Jingting to Qingjian’s baby.

   There was a fire, but nothing was left.

   Quan Jingting saw the thing in her hand, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Lian Yue turned to look at Quan Nian with a respectful tone, “Father, forgive me for not introducing myself to you, my name is Lian Yue, but I think in your impressions, or on the tombstone you set up for me, my My name is Qingyue.”

   The precious daughter of Qing Jian’s country, the name has not been decided for four months after birth, Liu Ye gave her daughter one by herself, taking the character Yue, called Qing Yue,

   Before he could register his household registration, he died in the sea of ​​​​fire. In the end, it was decided by Quan Nian. The tombstone was engraved with the name of Liu Ye, Qing Yue.

In the past two days, all websites have been under strict inspection, and the book review area has also been closed. I don’t know when it will be opened. So far, Master Quan has been blocked for seven chapters. After the revision, the review has not passed. What strange,.

   (end of this chapter)
