Chapter 22: The Fox Fake the Tiger

"Pomegranate is my maid, you dare to beat her, beware that the two people I brought today can't get out of my He Yinju!" Gu Xiangyi said, shaking off Gu Ruoyi's hand.

was intimidated by her like this, Gu Ruoyi trembled angrily, and turned around to fight her again, but she was used to being pampered, and she was not Gu Xiangyi's opponent, so she kicked her to the ground in three or two strokes.

"You!" Gu Ruoyi wiped a handful of dust on her face with her sleeve, pointed at her and scolded: "You also call me a sister, but you dare to do it with me today, see if my mother doesn't peel your skin!"

"Even if you let her come, I'll be there at all times. Gu Xiangyi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

The door closed, Gu Ruoyi's master and servant were blocked out, and the harsh scolding entered the room, which could be heard in the entire backyard.

Pomegranate was very worried, and persuaded: "The girl shouldn't have done anything with the third girl today, it's nothing for the slave and maid to be beaten, but the third girl turned around and told the eldest lady, and the eldest lady should find a stumbling block for the girl again." ”

"It doesn't matter if she wants to bully me and I beat her daughter, could it be that when she was submissive, she treated me well?" Gu Xiangyi turned her wrist disapplausively: "You are by my side, even you can't protect you, what else can you do?"

Pomegranate was very moved when she listened, admiring the girl's bravery, but also a little confused and worried about the future.

Gu Ruoyi, who returned to Huanxiang Garden, was like a sprinkler, hugging Fu Zhirong and crying, tears rubbing her body, even Fu's mother, had a deep disgust.

"Your aunt's mother-in-charge specially sent her to He Yinju, what does it mean, you still don't understand? If it weren't for this, I would have escorted her to clean her up!" Fu Zhirong glared at her daughter with hatred: "Now that your aunt is backing, what is she afraid of? Don't go up to her, you don't have to be beaten again." ”

Gu Ruoyi's eyes widened in disbelief, she even forgot to sob, and looked at Fu Shi in surprise: "Mother, my daughter has been beaten! Let that little beat, this is a shame!"

"Don't cry!" Fu Zhirong helplessly wiped her face with a handkerchief: "I raised you so much that I was reluctant to touch you, where did she get the ability to beat my daughter? Go and let Mother Zhou give medicine to your knee, teach that cheap seed with me, don't mix it." ”

Hearing this, Gu Ruoyi felt better, slowly got up from Fu's body, and choked up: "Today, the second son of the Yi family saw me but ignored me, and I don't know if it was because he saw that." ”

This is purely because she thinks too much, even if there is no Gu Xiangyi, Yi Jingxiao will not look at her more.

"Prince Jingde is indeed a good husband candidate, but I see that he is not interesting to you, what do you think?" Fu Zhirong asked her daughter tentatively.

Gu Ruoyi pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "My mother was happy with my father when she was young, and my grandfather's family was willing to spend a lot of money to buy you the opportunity to marry into the Gu family, why didn't I do it? There must be a way." ”

After a dull day, Gu Xiangyi tasted the sweetness, and the next day took the pomegranate to the street again.

Distraction is secondary, Gu Xiangyi wants to prepare for the revenge of the Ning family, and now she has no connections and financial resources, and she doesn't know anything about external affairs, this situation is obviously not good.

So what she has to do now is to recuperate, pay attention to every move in the capital, and can't let herself fail to seize the opportunity when she should make a move.

Without the obstruction of the Gu family's gatehouse, the master and servant came out very smoothly. I first went to the teahouse to have some refreshments, and then went to the jewelry shop to go around and bought a vegetarian hairpin for the pomegranate.

The noise on the street suddenly started, Gu Xiangyi followed the sound and looked over, and saw that a carriage was stopped in the middle of the street, the red horse looked a little uneasy, and there were some people around, and the noise could be heard far away.

"Pomegranate, let's go over and see. Gu Xiangyi said, then walked forward and squeezed into the crowd.

I wanted to persuade my girl not to get involved in the affairs between these nobles, but before Pomegranate could speak, the girl had already stepped forward, so she had to follow.

The man's deep and resistant voice came from the crowd: "I promise you to eat and drink spicy food, it is not enough to be my wife as you, but the concubine can, I will talk to He Shilang when I go back, and he will definitely agree." ”

The girl in the carriage was very scared, and the maid stood beside the carriage and looked around, and her eyes were red in a hurry: "You can let my girl come over, this person is too talkative, and the girl's reputation can't stand to be discussed!"

Helan Xi is just an unpopular concubine at home, I am afraid that if that person talks about the bridge with her father, his father will turn around and allow her to be a concubine.

is not taken seriously and does not attract pain, but there is still a father who is selfish and bent on climbing to the officialdom, sacrificing a dispensable daughter in exchange for a good future, so who would not want to?

He Shilang's grade is not high, and Gu Xiangyi is not impressed by him.

The man who stopped the carriage smiled lewdly and said in a loud voice: "Isn't fame just for discussion? When your girl enters the door of my Meng family, see which one with the longest tongue dares to discuss! But if your girl is unwilling, then let them talk about it, I don't care." ”

It's really infuriating to be such a scoundrel.

The people around were afraid of the background of the man who spoke, even if they were angry with the woman in the carriage, they didn't dare to say more, and there were many men who were sipping melon seeds and holding soju to shout two sentences in bad spirits: "Girl of the He family, you are here, can you still be treated badly when you enter the Meng family as a concubine?"

"That is, with your identity, other people's families can't enter even if they can't enter, and if you don't do it, can you still be the head lady?"

The sound of discussion muffled the soft sobbing in the carriage, and Gu Xiangyi frowned, angry at this matter.

With so many people present, one person spat and was afraid that the two girls of the He family would not survive, and that group of people knew who was right and who was wrong, but they all helped the bad people to be evil, and forced the innocent girl to die.

This is not the most untenable for her, when she saw the man's face in a circle, Gu Xiangyi squeezed Pomegranate's hand.

Meng Shaoyuan, the only son of Meng Fanlin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, has done a lot of bullying men and women in this capital, and his reputation in the mouth of the people is as bad as dust in the air, and the girl's family that he looks at is almost ruined even if he doesn't follow him, and no one dares to marry.

Strange Dao Shi heard him speak familiarly, it turned out to be an acquaintance!

Ning Yuanjiang couldn't get used to his style, others took into account Meng Fanlin's face, and didn't dare to say anything about Meng Shaoyuan's actions, but Ning Yuanjiang was not used to his problem. Once I met him bullying a girl from a good family on the street, he slapped him directly, squeezing Meng Shaoyuan's mouth crookedly, and it took more than half a month to barely get better.

This incident made Meng Fanlin have a grudge against the Ning family, and when the emperor sent him to encircle and suppress the Ning family, he naturally made a lot of efforts.

Gu Xiangyi in the crowd was not conspicuous for a while, she stared at Meng Shaoyuan coldly, and the hatred in her heart was monstrous.

The footsteps had already stepped out, and Gu Xiangyi was just about to speak for the girl in the carriage, but a man walked out of the opposite side first: "The son of the commander of the dignified Imperial Forest Army actually forced a good girl to be a concubine in broad daylight, is this how Commander Meng taught his son!"

Following the voice, Gu Xiangyi's eyes shrank.

Another acquaintance.

Ji Tang in the crowd gives people a feeling of 'stones like jade, pine like jade, Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world', treating people gently and elegantly, impartially, and having poetry and books in his belly, he is smart and studious, and combines the connotation of jade and the temperament of pine.

Ning Chu's martial arts were taught by Ning Yuanjiang himself, while Wen was taught by Mr. Ji in Ji's house, and Ji Tang was the same age as Ning Chu. Later, Mr. Ji died, and the Ji family fell down for a while, and only the Ning family was willing to pull Ji Tang and opened a academy for him, in which some students could be taught.

At this moment, Ji Tang is as dignified as before, but the haggard between his eyebrows and eyes is also obvious, it can be seen that he has not rested well every night recently, the whole person is thin and almost out of shape, and the cotton robe seems to be empty on his body.

Meng Shaoyuan looked over unhappily, and saw that it was Ji Tang, a famous genius in the capital, who was very angry, and shouted: "What's the matter, Ji Daxue still wants to teach me a lesson?"

Ji Tang was silent, but his eyes were staring at him.

With a sneer, Meng Shaoyuan threw the knife at his feet, pointed at his Tianlinggai and said: "My father's men died two days ago, and the murderer stabbed the knife into his skull, if you have the backbone, you can come too, don't talk nonsense here!"

He is a warrior who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is arrogant, can he still be frightened by a weak scholar? Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were very provocative, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker.

When Gu Xiangyi was planning to relieve Ji Tang, a scene that everyone never expected appeared.

Ji Tang bent down to pick up the dagger, looked at Meng Shaoyuan coldly, and walked towards him.

At this time, not only Meng Shaoyuan, but even Gu Xiangyi was slightly stunned. In her heart, Ji Tang has always been a scholar, she once laughed at him for not being able to resist big things on his shoulders, writing poems and reading books is a lifelong act, but seeing him with a knife today, Gu Xiangyi felt as if he had reacquainted himself.

The two men were about the same size, one was very strong and the other was very thin. Walking in front of Meng Shaoyuan, Ji Tang didn't even blink, raised the knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife hit the top of Meng Shaoyuan's head, and fell suddenly.

Before that, Meng Shaoyuan just wanted to embarrass him, even if he was not a powerless scholar, who would dare to kill the son of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army on the street? Unless he didn't want to live.

But at this moment, he had to be afraid, seeing that Ji Tang was so haggard, what if people kept grinding themselves, they just didn't want to live?

The moment the knife touched the top of his head, Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly squatted on the ground, covered his head with both hands and shouted: "You are crazy! You dare to kill me!"

"Did I kill you?" Ji Tang smiled coldly and threw the knife next to him: "I think how tough you are, it's just a fox and a fake tiger, your father can be reused in front of the emperor, what does it have to do with you?
