Chapter 40: Encounter on the Street Again
A carriage was parked outside the prefect's yamen, and the people in the yamen seemed to have expected it, and immediately opened the middle gate, and the high threshold was removed, and the prefect Li Fangming personally led a group of subordinates to stand beside the road and greet people.
The carriage entered the gate and came to a stop outside the gate. The young man who was driving the carriage jumped down first, then the curtain at the door was raised, and the people in the carriage stepped out of the carriage with a short body.
Li Fangming hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Li Fangming will see the prince of the world." I don't know if the prince has arrived today, and the lower officials have lost their distance, and they still look at Haihan. ”
The man was dressed in a narrow-sleeved purple robe, wearing a fox fur, and standing in front of everyone with a long jade body, making people feel powerful without saying a word.
People who have seen the prince of Yuan Wang are saying how handsome and handsome this prince is, and they can't help but make people curious. But I really met him face to face, but I couldn't raise my head because of the cold power around me, who dared to seriously look at whether he was really as handsome as rumored.
Prince Yuan glanced at Li Fangming: "Lord Li doesn't need to be polite. After speaking, he walked inward, and the faint golden dragon embroidery on the corner of his clothes was revealed in his actions, and he was lifelike like fluttering his wings.
In that dynasty, only the royal family and the Yuan Wangfu could use the dragon pattern, which shows that the Yuan Wangfu has a transcendent status. No matter how powerful the Li family is, they have never been able to shake the Yuan Wangfu in the slightest. Although the princes of the past dynasties were all idle princes who were uninhibited and did not care about court affairs, they were still a piece of the emperor's heart, but they were helpless.
Passed down to this generation, it seems that even God has to stand on the side of the emperor, Yuan Wangye is a romantic and amorous lover, Xie Jingxiu, the eldest son of Yuan Wangfu, has no intention of inheriting the palace, although the concubine Xie Jingyu is also a rare young talent, but he is not qualified to ask for the prince. Yuanwangfu hung like this, and no one knew what would happen in the end.
In any case, whether these high-ranking officials and nobles are developed or downtrodden has nothing to do with them, they just need to respect them.
Li Fangming hurriedly followed, led the way in front, and said: "The prince is tired, and the lower officials have already asked people to prepare thin wine and hot dishes to catch the wind and wash the dust for the prince." Prince, you see ......"
Xie Jingxiu said: "No need, take me to see the old prince." ”
Li Fangming didn't say much, and immediately responded, and took Xie Jingxiu towards the elegant courtyard where the patriarch and prince lived.
The other officials only greeted Yimen, and then dispersed, and Li Fangming took Xie Jingxiu towards the backyard. Before he reached the residence of the patriarch and the prince, he saw a child about eight years old coming out of the garden, followed by several servants, and shouted anxiously: "Second young master, don't run, fall carefully!" Wait for us! ”
Li Luo shouted while hiding from someone: "You are all bad people sent by my mother to take care of me!" I don't care, I'm looking for my mother! I'm going to ask her why I'm not allowed to see Miss Feng! ”
Erjiu, who had been following Xie Jingxiu, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the words of Miss Feng.
Isn't it the "Feng girl" they met on the road?
When Li Fangming saw it, he couldn't help but be angry, and he was afraid that Li Luotang would suddenly provoke this evil god, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said angrily: "Luo'er, what are you doing?!" Your mother punished you for copying books in the house and forbade you to go out, who let you out! You're all eating dry food?! Quickly bring the second young master back! ”
As soon as Li Luo saw Li Fangming, he pounced on him as soon as his footsteps turned, and the bear hugged Li Fangming's waist. Li Luo knew that Li Fangming had always hurt him, so he looked at Li Fangming with his head tilted and his eyes flashed, and said with a pout: "Father, my mother bullied me, you have to be the master for me." ”
If it was before, Li Fangming would have softened his heart towards such a cute little son of Yuxue, but at this time, there was "that" prince standing behind him, and he could feel the cold breath emanating from his body a few steps away, and he couldn't stop the chill with several layers of cotton robes on his body.
Li Fangming grabbed Li Luo's collar, handed him over to the subordinates who were chasing him, and said with a straight face: "Take the second young master back!" Don't let him mess around anymore! ”
Li Luo made a fuss and shouted: "My mother promised me to propose to Miss Feng, and you promised me to marry Miss Feng back to me as a daughter-in-law!" You lied to me, big liar! While shouting, he was coaxed and dragged away by his subordinates.
Erjiu's mouth opened into a circle, but he didn't expect that the fierce Feng girl would not even let go of an eight-year-old child.
He glanced at his own prince, this lord still looked cold, didn't care about anything, and even had a bored look, it was this appearance that made him look repulsive, but it attracted the ladies of the capital to secretly agree.
That's it, he has few roots in this life, and it is happier to keep such a talking thing and go back to gossip with Lao Qi.
Li Fangming saw that the cold prince did not express any dissatisfaction with Li Luo's matter, and of course he didn't look happy, so he couldn't help wiping his forehead and continued to lead Xie Jingxiu to the courtyard of the patriarch.
Lao Qi and Lao Jiu had already come back first, and told the patriarch the prince about the incident in the morning.
The patriarch stroked his beautiful beard, and the fairy wind smiled bonely: "This is also a kind of fate." He still likes Miss Feng very much in his heart, but the two of Feng Yunfei and Feng Yunning must not be messed with. The Yuan Wangfu has been neutral for so many years, how can it get involved with the traitorous ministers at this time? I can't make Fang Xiang's old puppet angry to death.
As soon as the elder prince's words fell, Li Fangming had already walked in with Xie Jingxiu.
Li Fangming made a report and retreated in amusement, Xie Jingxiu walked to the rocking chair where the patriarch was lying, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Grandfather, I'll pick you up, and we'll leave in the afternoon." ”
The patriarch squinted his eyes and looked at this business-looking grandson, but he didn't say anything.
I only heard his good grandson who made him love and hate again: "I only took a month's leave, and it took half a month to rush from the capital, and it took another half a month to rush back to the capital, and it was just right to cancel the vacation when I went back." ”
The patriarch said hatefully: "You still ask for leave? How good is your little?! You don't want a good Yuan Wangfu, you have to be an official! Yuanwangfu is less than you eat and less you wear?! ”
Xie Jingxiu is the son of the Yuan Palace, and the official he is naturally not a small broken official, but the old prince does not look down on him.
Xie Jingxiu didn't reason with him, but he looked at him like he was looking at an unreasonable old man, so angry that the old prince's beard was straight.
Xie Jingxiu took off the fox fur and walked towards the house, and Erjiu hurriedly stepped forward to take it and hugged it in his arms.
"Seventh, ninth." Seventy-nine and twenty-two people heard Xie Jingxiu call them, and hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order.
Xie Jingxiu said: "I don't care what you guys are doing in Huaiqian secretly, I'll give you an hour and pack up your things." An hour later, we departed for Beijing. ”
The old seven and nine responded together, so angry that the old prince pounded the chair again and again: "Whose subordinates are you!" ”
Xie Jingxiu's figure had already entered the room, and the old seven and nine didn't dare to look at the old prince, so they went to do things in a gloomy manner. It's not anyone's problem, the problem is that none of them dare not listen to the words of the prince!
Xiao Yu persuaded the Fang clan to agree and leave, pacified the Fang clan, and then rushed to Huaiqian City.
He was very confident in what Fang Clan said, in fact, every action he envisaged was based on the premise that he and Fang Clan would be able to leave Huaiqian and go to the capital.
But that's the biggest problem.
He could sneak out, but even if he was lucky enough to get to the capital, he wouldn't be able to enter the city gate at all. The household registration management of the dynasty was very strict, and the city gate also had to pass through guò with a "pass", otherwise the displaced people who moved to the city would have entered the city earlier.
Thinking about it, with his current identity, there is only one way to get out of the Feng family: marry.
Oh, my God...... Xiao Yu let out a weak groan, and fell on the thick cushion in the carriage.
Who are you marrying?
Xiao Yu hugged the soft pillow and began to think seriously about this problem.
The carriage had safely entered the city gates and was driving on the roadways of the city. But Xiao Yu still didn't come up with a clue.
There was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, and then the carriage shook violently and tilted twice before stopping.
Bai Ling muttered, "What's going on again?" He lifted the curtain and looked out.
But I saw a bunch of people not far in front of me, and after a while, someone shouted: "Dead man, hit dead man!" These official children are really lawless! Dare to run on the street! ”
Someone else shouted, "Call the doctor!" Quick, quick, get this kid to the hospital. ”
"It's useless, it's useless to tell the horse to kick, it's useless. Poor to see, so much blood has been shed. ”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he hurriedly got out of the car and walked forward. Bai Ling understood, picked up Mi Li and the medical box and trotted to follow, and buckled Mi Li to his girl's head as he ran.
Really, the girl always doesn't remember to cover her face, and she really can't get married if she goes on like this! Although it is probably difficult to get married now...... But there's hope, isn't there?! Maybe you can marry a Xiucai who has no fame, or the son of a landlord's family, as long as you are good to the girl, it is still good, maybe it is easier than marrying into a high-ranking family, at least there will not be so many concubines to worry about-Bai Ling silently calculated in his heart. Her ideal uncle has been reduced from a child of a family to a child of a petty official family, and then to Xiucai, and even the son of a landlord's family, which really broke a girl's heart.
"Let me go, I'm a doctor." Xiao Yu said in a loud voice, pushing away the crowd and walking inside.
The people inside listened to this slightly muffled but still crisp voice, and thought that a young man was coming, and they all got out of the way. When he saw that it was actually a woman who came over, there was a cry in the crowd.
The voices of these onlookers cheering have not changed for thousands of years. Xiao Yu thought a little helplessly, while keeping squeezing his hands and feet into the innermost.
"What's going on up ahead?" Erjiu sat in the car and waved his whip boringly, "Why is it blocked like this?" ”
The old prince and the prince were sitting in the car he was driving, and the body of this car was carved with the logo of the Yuan Wangfu, which was a signboard and was ready to rush back to the capital with such a swagger. Several other guards had another car, and there was a column of guards waiting outside Huaiqian City. They were supposed to meet before dark, but now they were stuck in the city, unable to move.
Lao Qi, who was driving another carriage, said: "I'll take a look." He jumped down as he spoke.
Xiao Yu finally squeezed into the crowd, and the first thing he saw was a tall black horse, which was standing idly on the side of the road at this time, nibbling on the vegetables on the overturned vegetable stall on the side of the road.
At the feet of the black horse squatted a man in brocade, who should be the owner of the horse that hit the man, and not far away lay a teenage peasant boy, his face covered with blood, falling to the ground crying and crying out in pain.
Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to check, the young man's forehead seemed to be scratched, a big hole was broken, and the blood was bleeding nonstop, which looked very scary.
"Little brother, don't cover it, let me take a look." Xiao Yu was afraid of startling him, so he gently pulled his hand while saying softly.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Whose family is this girl?" This girl, you better stop looking at it, what's the use of you watching it? If you want to do good deeds, you might as well send some money to his family. ”
The young man looked at the person squatting in front of him with teary eyes, and the panic in his heart could not be concealed. He came into the city alone to sell vegetables, and he thought that after selling the vegetables, he could take out a few copper plates and buy some maltose to go back to his younger brothers and sisters to sweeten their mouths, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. He wanted to protect the vegetables, which were all grown by the family, but the vegetables were not protected properly, and he was also injured.
The others all stood aside and pointed, looking at him with a look of pity that frightened him, as if they were looking at a dead man.
The girl in front of him didn't look at him like that. She covered her face with a beautiful light veil, as if she was a young lady from a big family, but she did not dislike the dirt on his body, squatted beside him, and gently pulled him with those beautiful and warm hands.
"Sister, am I going to die? They all said I was going to die. Woo...... I don't want to die...... I'm scared......" The young man looked at Xiao Yu in horror, and he didn't even dare to cry out loud.
Xiao Yu softened his voice and said comfortingly: "Good boy, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." It's just a minor injury, let me see. I'm a doctor, and I'll cure you. It's okay. ”
Xiao Yu carefully examined the young man's wound, it was the small artery that led to the laceration of the skin and soft tissue on the forehead, so there would be so much blood. However, just looking at Yan zhòng, as long as the damaged blood vessels are directly sewn up, it will not affect the blood supply to the head. He was worried about something else.
Xiao Yu pressed the blood vessels to temporarily stop the bleeding, and asked softly: "Little brother, let me ask you, did the horse kick you just now?" ”
The young man thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, no. ”
"Did you hit the wall? Does it hurt in your head? Dizzy or not? ”
The young man's eyes looked to the side slightly, Xiao Yu followed his gaze, and there was an iron scale lying quietly on the ground not far away, and there were still some blood stains on the edge of the weighing pan.
"The horse came, I protected the vegetable stall, but I didn't, I panicked, fell, and let the weighing pan scratch ......," the boy whispered.
Xiao Yu smiled: "Okay, I know." You'll be fine, don't worry. Nothing at all. ”
The boy's dim eyes lit up. The girl in front of him obviously looked about the same age as him, but she seemed to be more stable and reliable than adults. Every word of "it's okay" that came out of her mouth was like the warm sun in winter, gradually dispelling the gloomy fear in his heart.
It's very strange, just now he felt that he was almost dying, as if he had seen the bull head and horse face asking for his life, but now he seemed to feel that the strength and heat had returned to his body.
It's just a few words.
"Sister, are you a fairy...... the young man blinked his eyes and muttered. Only immortals have such skills, as long as they blow a breath, they can make the injured person better, and there is no need to be afraid of being taken away by the little ghost of the Yama Palace......
Xiao Yu looked left and right, trying to find a clean place to treat the boy's wounds. But I heard an exclamation from behind me: "Miss Feng? ”
Lao Jiu and Lao Qi got out of the car together and came to check, but they didn't expect to meet his savior here. Seeing the injured young man lying next to Xiao Yu, the two immediately understood.
Lao Jiu stepped forward first and squatted beside Xiao Yu: "Miss Feng, is there anything you want to help with?" ”
Xiao Yu didn't remember who he was, he just looked familiar, but it was naturally good to have someone willing to help right now.
"I want to find a clean place nearby......"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a painful gasp in his ears, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Xiao Yu turned his head to look, but saw that the brocade-clothed man who had been squatting on the horse's leg with his chest just now suddenly fell to the ground in pain, his fat body almost clumped into a ball, clutching his throat and inhaling vigorously.
The author has something to say: The prince is crazy and handsome, and there is a wood!
