Lu Chengyong placed his wife and girl properly and went out. It only took a moment to see that the mad horse was galloping over, with its hooves like iron, foaming at the mouth, and being very furious.

An old woman couldn't dodge and fell to the ground, her hands and feet were so weak that she couldn't get up again. Although others have the heart to help, but when they see that crazy horse is menacing, where do they have the courage?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Chengyong stepped forward, tied up a horse step, stood firmly on the ground, and blocked the old woman behind him. At that moment, Crazy Horse rushed to the front with a carriage in tow. The horse was going crazy, seeing that someone was in the way, he was very furious, and when he was about to raise his hooves, he was about to trample on Lu Chengyong. Lu Chengyong dodged and dodged, grabbed the reins with his left hand, and swung out a punch with his right hand, hitting the horse's head hard. His fists are tempered every day in the army, and they are like golden melons and copper hammers when handed out. He was very strong, and he was afraid that he would not have a hundred catties of strength with one punch, so he smashed it on the horse's head like a hammer. That crazy horse is nothing more than flesh and blood, how can he bear it? Immediately he was knocked down on his back, and the side of his fat body was about to fall to the side of the road, and even the carriage was about to roll over on its side.

At this moment, I heard a woman's scream suddenly come from the car. Lu Chengyong didn't expect that there were still passengers in the car, so he didn't have time to think about it, he tightened the reins with one hand, grabbed the wheels with the other, stood firmly, shouted loudly, and pulled the carriage stiffly. The horse had been crazy for a long time, but it had gradually quieted down, and it was hit hard by Lu Chengyong, and he withered on the ground and did not move.

The onlookers on the side were stunned, their faces were colorless, and when they saw that the danger had receded, they clapped their hands and applauded, and praised in unison: "What a man, such might!" ”

Xia Chunchao squeezed out from the side of the road and rushed to her husband, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen like rotten peaches, her heart was anxious, painful and angry, and her lips trembled for a long time before she said, "You ...... How dare you be! If there is a good thing for a while, you ...... You call me ......" At this point, he was choked up and couldn't speak, and tears rolled down.

Lu Chengyong dusted off his shirt and said with a smile: "It's okay, you see that I'm not here well." Don't cry, you're rubbing your eyes. As he spoke, he took Xia Chunchao's handkerchief to wipe her face, and seeing that there were many people here, he hugged his wife's fragrant shoulder and was about to leave.

At this time, all the servants of the woman's family in the car rushed over, and when they inquired about what happened, they came up and said angrily: "Wu Na man, you broke our horse, can't you just go away?!" ”

When Lu Chengyong heard the sound, he turned around and looked around, only to see five or six people in green cloth short clothes, standing around the carriage station, glaring at him. Behind them came a green-clothed maid and a servant woman in a jacket, and the two of them panicked and said, "Miss has always been weak, and I am afraid that she will be frightened this time." "So he got into the car.

Lu Chengyong saw that the people in this case were well dressed, and took a closer look at the carriage with exquisite materials and gorgeous decorations, and the jujube red horses lying on the ground were also fat and strong, and they were of famous breeds. The woman sitting in the car was not from a small family.

He looked at it once, and saw that this servant was fierce and evil, and his intentions were not good, and he remembered the previous danger, and his heart was on fire, and he reprimanded him to his face: "What is the reason why you are running rampant and trampling on passers-by?!" If I hadn't given up my life to stop it, how many lives would I have trampled on this way?! The horse went berserk, didn't I hold the reins and stabilize the car, the carriage overturned for a while, and your young lady was dead?! You don't know how to thank you, but you come to ask me about your sins, how can this be true! ”

The servants shouted in unison: "This horse of my family is a famous breed from the Western Regions, and it is easy to raise it to such a fat and strong person with all kinds of good materials on weekdays. But here you are arguing with reason, intending to get away with sin, there is nothing so cheap in the world! If you go with me to see the master, if you don't compensate for this horse, I won't let you get away today!" He shouted again, and then said, "If you hadn't pulled the reins and knocked over the horse, the cart wouldn't have had to overturn." You frightened my young lady, and this matter can't be ended lightly! ”

Lu Chengyong heard this evil slave reversing right and wrong, and he was furious. Before he could speak, he heard Xia Chunchao sneering on the side: "Since your young lady is so expensive, why did the horse drag the car and run crazy for a long time, and I didn't see you come out to guard?" I must have waited until my father-in-law came out and stopped the car, and then I saw you come forward. If we don't stop the car, won't you just let the horse pull your young lady around the city? I know that you slaves, follow the young lady out and see that something is wrong, lest it be difficult to go back. But even so, you can't rely on people! Is it so easy to grab one at random? ”

Seeing that Xia Chunchao was poked in front of him, his face flushed slightly, and he said angrily: "We are talking to your man, what are you talking to a woman here?" It's just a sidewalk! Xia Chunchao said coldly: "Everything in the world can't lift a single word, you can't say me, do you intend to use this word to pressure me?" Everyone is here to see, who is reasonable and who is not, you can know at a glance! ”

These little family members, relying on the prestige of the main family on weekdays, are used to being unscrupulous. At this moment, she was suddenly scolded by a woman, where could she swallow this breath, and immediately shouted: "It's the opposite, this kind of diao woman, dare to let go of Diao on the street, embarrass the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and take her to the yamen!" As he spoke, he came up and started his work.

Lu Chengyong saw that they were coming to arrest people, so he casually pulled Xia Chunchao behind him, crossed his hands forward, pushed and handed them over, and threw three or four people out when he boarded. He has been on the battlefield for a long time and is proficient in martial arts, how can this class of villains who only bully men and women on weekdays be able to resist it? He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and he only used three points of strength when he started, but Rao was like this, and the person fell to the ground, his nose and face were swollen, and he cried and called his mother, and he couldn't get up again.

At this moment, the spectators on the side of the road, seeing that this person was arsoning with horses and committing murder, and wanted to blackmail the righteous man, they couldn't help but be moved by righteous indignation and reprimanded him one after another. One of them, recognizing their mansion, said in a strange manner: "Who is my Dao, it was originally from the Marquis Situ's family, and others could not have such great prestige." If this son doesn't have a big backer and is delivered to the government, I don't know how many miles the mourning stick will suffer. ”

After such an argument, a maid suddenly got out of the carriage, walked up to him, and whispered orders to the family of the leader. The man was embarrassed for a while, and it took a long time to say to Lu Chengyong: "That splash man, my young lady said, thank you for saving your life, I don't have the same knowledge as you, you go quickly!" Lu Chengyong shouted angrily: "You are running rampant, lying falsely, and you want to hurt my wife, can you stop like this?!" The man said, "Do you know that the daughter of Marquis Situ is sitting in this car?" Let you go, you won't go, don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink! Xia Chunchao didn't want to have a lot of trouble with this person, so he pulled her husband's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Let's go, ignore them." Lu Chengyong was not afraid of the Marquis's Mansion, but after listening to his wife's words, he didn't want to disobey, so he immediately snorted coldly and took his wife away.

When Xia Chunchao was leaving, he unconsciously turned around and glanced at it, but saw that a gap was opened in the curtain of the carriage, and half of his face seemed to be revealed inside, and the beard was gone. She just thought she was dazzled, and before she could think about it, she went with her husband.

When the servants saw the three men departing, they dispersed the crowd of onlookers, re-picked up their horses, got into their chariots, shouted, and drove away.

The maid got into the car, sat next to her young lady, and said, "This horse is so good, why is it suddenly irritable?" If I hadn't just been stopped by that son, I don't know what to do. That boy is also really brave, such a crazy horse, even dare to come up and resist. Such courage is really beyond the reach of the world. Seeing this before, the young master was so frightened that he got out of the car, which was really unbelievable. It's even more funny that this slave in our family is not in front of him when he is crazy. The man stopped the horse, but I am afraid that he will break the horse, and disturb the young lady, and it will be difficult to explain to the master when he goes back, so he will wait for people! ”

It turned out that the person sitting in this car was the daughter of the Marquis Situ family, Situ Yanran, who was mentioned at the beginning. Today's Qingming, she went out with her parents to sweep the tomb, because the Marquis and Mrs. Situ had something to do on the way, so she sent her nephew home with her, but she didn't expect such an accident to happen on the way. The entourage and the young master saw that the horse was frightened, for fear of hurting themselves, they all hid far away, and let the crazy horse drag the car away, but fortunately Lu Chengyong stopped him.

Situ Yanran listened to the maid's water chestnut chanting in her ears, lowered her head and thought silently.

After a while, the water chestnut said again: "That son is really heroic, although he has a scar on his face, he is a little scary at first glance. If you look closely, it's very impressive. Such a person is called a real man. On weekdays, those white-faced talents, Wei Wei Rui, can't even say a word in front of us, which really makes people angry. Situ Yanran is a beautiful lady, and when she heard her personal maid praise a foreign man like this, she couldn't help but blush her cheeks slightly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "A girl's family, what nonsense in her mouth, and she is not ashamed to judge a man's character." "She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she is weak to speak, even if she is this harsh reprimand, she does not have any strength.

The water chestnut was naturally not afraid, grinned, and then said: "The lady standing next to him seems to be his wife, she is born well, and she speaks very well in front of people." The two stood together and looked very compatible. When Situ Yanran heard this, she felt a little unhappy in her heart, and said, "You are talking nonsense again, how do you know that it is your wife?" Water chestnut said: "She calls that son a husband, not a wife, but what is it?" Situ Yanran said angrily: "You know that Mrs., can't you be a concubine?" Water chestnut thought for a while and said, "How can such a good-looking person be a concubine with a silver silk mustache?" Situ Yanran glanced at her and said, "You know again?" The water chestnut is not clear, so I will not say more.

After a while, the car had arrived in front of the Hou Mansion, and a group of servants had already prepared a soft sedan chair and were waiting in front of the door.

When the water chestnut got out of the car, several mothers-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help their young lady down and send her to the soft sedan chair. A young man dressed in a brocade robe and embroidered ribbon on the side hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "My sister is frightened, is there an obstacle?" Situ Yanran didn't look at him directly, and got into the sedan chair, and the woman who was waiting for him folded the curtain and got up and left. The latter had no choice but to follow him. Situ Yanran was impatient, called the water chestnut to him, and gave a few orders.

The water chestnut answered, and turned back to the man: "Third young master, the young lady is about to enter the inner house." Although you are a relative, you are also a gentleman, how can you follow into the second door? When the old man comes to the house later, aren't you afraid of being angry? You have the kung fu to follow Miss, it is better to go back and read those articles by heart, beware of the master asking you! The person who was called the third young master, seeing that he was reprimanded and reprimanded by a girl in person, although he was full of anger in his heart, he also knew that this was Miss Marquis's personal maid, and he didn't dare to offend, so he laughed again and again and retreated.

The water chestnut drank the man away and followed the sedan chair again.

Situ Yanran sat on the sedan chair, listened to the two of them in her ears, and said secretly in her heart: "This cousin speaks softly, he is cowardly, and he makes people angry when he looks at it, where is the half-manly spirit?" My father values him, and I can't say anything. After being troubled like this for a while, he suddenly remembered the person he had met on the street, and secretly thought to himself: "My future husband, if he can get half of that person's courage, he will not be able to live up to himself." At the thought of this, she felt ashamed and her cheeks were hot.

It turned out that this Situ Yanran was the daughter of Situ Zhong, Marquis of Xinling. Because her mother was pregnant with the spirit of the times, and she gave birth at an advanced age, this girl was congenitally deficient and frail and sickly since she was a child, so she was quite loved by her father. On weekdays, you have to give one to ten, and there is no disobedience.

However, the Situ family was passed down to Situ Zhong's generation, and its potential was prematurely aging. And because when the emperor personally conquered, the regent acted in rebellion, this Situ Zhong had a very personal relationship with the regent, although he had the merit of exposing it, but it was suspected by the above and was not reused for many years. Today, although it is the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food, it has long been a river and the sun is falling. Therefore, all the people in Beijing who are a little bit motivated are unwilling to marry them. Situ Yanran's brothers and sisters are all married to Qingliu families, and when she is about to die, Situ Zhong has other plans. blocked all the matchmakers who came to the door, but chose a distant nephew from his wife's family, put him at home to take care of him, and funded him to study. This person has a good understanding, and he is very diligent in his homework, and now he has also been examined. is the person who talked to Situ Yanran with a smile before, his real name is Xu Zhongyu, because he ranks third in the family, his family calls him "Third Young Master".

Situ Zhong's abacus played very well, but Situ Yanran couldn't look at Xu Zhongyu, and the father and daughter each had a thought.

Situ Yanran thought about it in her heart, and wondered: Seeing that he is dressed normally, I am afraid that he is a flat-headed commoner, how could his father agree to such a thing? As soon as this thought turned, he sighed and stopped thinking about him.
