Chapter 254: Righteous Rescue
For a few days in a row, a group of scoundrels were like naming in the yamen, very punctual, and when they saw Pan Jinlian and them closing the courtyard gate, they said unpleasant obscenities loudly outside the courtyard gate, and Jinlian and the others could only let them make a loud noise outside without making a sound.

Now Jin Lian remembered her grandfather's wisdom, he knew that his mother was too beautiful, like a branch of snow valley orchid, lest he fall into the dust and spoil this orchid, so he didn't let his mother easily meet strangers, let alone let her show up on the street, just to avoid trouble.
He knows that his proud disciple Ge Xiucai has a top-notch character, and he and his mother are childhood sweethearts, with the same heart, from appearance to heart, they all make people feel that they are a match made in heaven. But he knows this society too well, Ge Xiucai's family is too poor, and his good talent and good character can't help him become an official and make a fortune. And Ge Xiucai is powerless, and his future future can only be to be a poor private school gentleman who is just starving to death, and he can't protect his mother.
Although his father Pan Shishan is illiterate, his family background is passable, and his character is like Ge Xiucai. What's more, my father is burly, powerful, and very responsible, so it is safe to entrust his daughter to such a person. So my grandfather chose his father to be his son-in-law, and gave up Ge Xiucai, so that their family had lived a stable life for ten years.
My grandfather can be regarded as far-sighted, but he can only keep the family of three living a peaceful life for ten years. Just because her mother went to the temple to make incense, she was favored by Zhang Shanren and used a poisonous plan, which made their family ruined. My father's bones are still gone, my mother is depressed because of self-blame, and Pan Jinlian has been unlucky.
"Alas, it's also to blame that I wanted to go to see the Lantern Festival that day, but I didn't see it well, but I caused so much trouble for myself. ”
"But can you blame me for this? I want to see the lantern that I have been longing for for a long time, it is just an ordinary wish of a person, not an excessive luxury, even such an ordinary little thing will cause trouble; alas, it is all to blame Wu Dalang for not being productive, and when he encounters such a thing, he only knows how to hide, and he does not dare to stand up to protect me, what is the use of such a husband?"
Why do you always say that beauty is inherently sinful? This is just an excuse for the bad things that men in the world have done.
A woman is beautiful, not like a flower blooming on a precious flower, she should be cared for by a man, let her grow on the branches, bathe in the sun and rain every day, water and irrigate, the flowers are more vivid, and give off strange brilliance. But these stinky men, they pluck the flowers from the branches, put them under their noses and smell them, then crush them, throw them away, and step on them a few times without pity, is this the fate of beauties?
It has been a month since I saw the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is clear that these prodigal sons come here every morning, and after an hour of trouble, they will disperse. Pan Jinlian could only ask Wu Dalang to steam less cooking cakes every day, and wait for this group of prodigal sons to disperse before selling cooking cakes.
The mental torture was painful, and Jin Lian felt that she was almost on the verge of collapse, and only asked for a divine soldier from heaven to save her from her suffering. I didn't expect to listen to the voices outside the hospital, it seems that a few more have been added, and a rough and atmospheric voice is unfamiliar, probably new today.
This person said: "How can this Wu Dalang be able to marry such a beautiful woman?"
"Big brother, the younger brother has found out clearly, this little woman is the maid of the famous Zhang Shan family in this county. Zhang Shanren's daughter died, and the little woman also became a stand-in for the young lady, and led the cultivation to be a nun in the family temple for three years, but Zhang Shanren paid the dowry and let her out. ”
"What, Zhang Shanren, that bastard, only has to go in and out, but he will pay the dowry, I'm afraid that Wu Dalang will be a living bastard. ”
Hearing the words outside, Jin Lian could no longer do anything but weep. What's even more terrifying is that the coarse and arrogant person actually instigated the rest of the prodigal sons: "Brothers, today we will break in, and ask this little lady to compensate our brothers for drinking and laughing, that Zhang Shanren bastard can be fishy, we just ask her to eat and drink with her, what is it?"
Pan Jinlian had already held the scissors that she usually used to do needlework in her hands, and if they dared to break into the door, Jinlian would end up with herself, so as not to be humiliated. At the critical moment, Zhang Laohan, who heard it next door, walked out with a cane in his hand, and saw that there was a familiar one among them: "Brother Li, come here!"
This old man Zhang, when he was young, was also a good man who was good at fighting and holding unevenness, and had excellent martial arts, but now he is old and frail, alone, living in a dilapidated courtyard next to Wu Dalang's house. Wu Dalang usually sent him some food, but at this time, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he came out to deal with these prodigal sons.
One of the young men walked over: "Master Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Which of you knows that Wu Dalang has a sworn brother?"
"We don't know. ”
"Wu Dalang has a righteous brother named Wu Song, who is more than seven feet long, has good kung fu, and is more powerful. ”
"Ah, this man has heard of it. ”
This rough man said: "Wu Song, I know that this person is also a good man, a few years ago, in order to fight the grievances, there was a fight with the catcher in the yamen, and the catcher was knocked to the ground with two punches, thinking that he had killed someone, and ran out to avoid trouble." ”
"That's Wu Song is afraid of a lawsuit, and now he knows that the person is not dead, so he will no longer pursue it, he brought a letter and said that he will rush back soon. If you are not afraid of death, you will smash the courtyard door and enter, but when the time comes, will it be hard to see your head or Wu Song's fist?"
The rough man said: "Boss, you see that we don't know that Wu Song is Wu Dalang's righteous brother, and we are so offended. In this case, please ask my husband to say a few more kind words when Wu Erlang comes back, and I will control our brothers, and I will not harass Wu Dalang again. ”
With a shout, the fox group of dogs scattered as birds and beasts. Pan Jinlian hurriedly opened the door, invited Zhang Laohan to enter the house to sit, and thanked him for resolving a disaster for himself today.
Zhang Laohan sat down, drank the magnolia incense tablets soaked in the golden lotus, and said with a smile: "Where is the credit of the old man? Wu Dalang does have such a righteous brother, and he is also a good man in Qinghe County. Didn't Da Lang tell you? If he was here, how could he dare to insult the lady with such foul language?"
Wu Dalang hurriedly handed over a few cooking cakes to Zhang Laohan to make lunch, and Zhang Laohan carried the cooking cakes, shook his head and sighed and left.
Pan Jinlian stared at Wu Dalang and asked him, "Why didn't I know you had a sworn brother?"
Wu Dalang said: "I have a brother, but I am a great person. ”
Pan Jinlian was angry in her heart, and snatched him and said, "With your virtue, your brother is not much better? Why are you hiding it from me." ”
Wu Dalang muttered: "My brother was hungry and cold, wandering on the streets, I took him in, he saved his life, and he became a brother with me in order to thank me." ”
Later, he beat someone by mistake, thinking that he had killed someone, and he was afraid of a lawsuit, so he left for more than a year, and there was no news. My brother is more than seven feet long, and he is good-looking, and he stands there and stamps his feet, and there will be a pit in the ground. When he was there, how could anyone dare to make irresponsible remarks about me?"
Pan Jinlian didn't seem to believe it, Wu Dalang said: "I knew that you didn't believe it, I didn't tell you that's the reason, do you believe what Zhang Laohan said?"
It was the first time that Pan Jinlian had heard that Wu Dalang had a righteous brother, and he was such a good person. Zhang Laohan said Wu Song's name in his mouth, so that the prodigal sons who were full of obscene words actually politely asked Zhang Laohan to say a lot of good words, and the appearance of being condescending and respectful was really despicable. Moreover, Wu Song's name actually frightened this gang of ruffians and hooligans, and promised not to harass them again.
Pan Jinlian heard for the first time that there was such a great man in the world, such a good man, not by money and power, but by his own fame, he could scare off a group of ruffians and hooligans, and such a great man actually became a family with himself. It's really gratifying, knowing that Zhang Laohan's words are just a temporary expedient measure, but Pan Jinlian prefers to believe that it is true, that is, Wu Song is about to come back to see his brother and sister-in-law in the near future, and I hope that the sooner the better, the sooner the better.
Since Zhang Laohan helped Pan Jinlian and the others scare off the gang of ruffians and hooligans, peace has returned to the small courtyard. Jin Lian always thought in her heart, thanks to this righteous brother who had never met before, mentioning his name, there would be such an effect, then he was really a protector.
In order to recover the loss of some time ago, Wu Dalang made two more baskets of cooking cakes every day, went out early in the morning, and only went home after selling the cooking cakes after dark. Pan Jinlian stood alone in this small courtyard full of smoke and fire in a daze, she knew that today was the third day of the third month of March, young boys and girls in the cardamom years, there was such a day a year, under the blue sky and white clouds, in the green willows and saffron, beside the Qingxi River, to appreciate the sweet, hazy, indescribable, unclear, first-time heterosexual love between men and women. The young ladies and young women who are locked up in the courtyard of the deep house can also go out, breathe in the fresh and free emptiness of the wilderness, speak loudly, laugh loudly, and no one scolds them for not abiding by women's morals, because there is only one day a year.
But Jin Lian did not have this luck and qualifications, because watching the lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and everything that happened afterwards made her palpitated. If it weren't for the righteous Zhang Laohan who retreated from the scoundrel, she was a weak woman, and a more unhelpful Wu Dalang, they would have been in a catastrophe long ago, would she still have the opportunity to go green in March in the future?
When Jin Lian was flustered, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard door, which bastard would be making trouble this time? This time, Jin Lian would use chicken feathers as an arrow, and use the name of her righteous brother who had never met to scare and scare these soft eggs who had never seen the world.
When she opened the door, Pan Jinlian was very surprised, because she was the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion and the most loyal lackey of Zhang Shanren.
