Chapter 43: The Bodyguard
Haoyi stood up and looked at Yun Yi with an aggrieved face, and put his arm around her shoulder, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”
Yun Yi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Third brother, you have to make the decision for me!" ”
Haoyi frowned slightly, her younger sister has been spoiled by the emperor and the queen mother since she was a child, looking at the entire palace, who dares to bully her, she really can't count her fingers, relying on the support of the queen mother, she has always been the only one who bullies others. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although info is a bit unreasonable, it's not spicy, and there is always a sense of proportion in doing things.
Therefore, seeing her teary-eyed appearance at the moment, all Haoyi could think of was that the emperor gave her another marriage.
"Which nobleman did my father marry you this time?"
"Hmph, my father doesn't love me at all, last time I went to Nanyun Kingdom to make peace, and this time I asked me to marry to the Xiyuan Dynasty, there are so many princesses in the Wu Dynasty, my father can't tell anyone to marry, but he wants to marry me. I knew it with my toes, it must have been the queen's bad idea in front of my father, and I couldn't see me arrogant in the palace. ”
Hearing this, Hao Yi pressed Yun Yi to the stool and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to her, "Drink some water and dissipate your anger." ”
Yun Yi said a lot of words, felt a little dry, took two sips, put the teacup on the table with a snap, and continued to complain to Hao Yi, "Third brother, what do you say I should do!" I don't want to get married, I don't want to leave you and the imperial grandmother! ”
Hao Yi sat opposite Yun Yi and swore solemnly, "Don't worry, as long as the third brother is here, I will definitely not let you marry far away." The third brother assures you that the imperial grandmother and I will let you marry the one you love happily. ”
After hearing this, Yun Yi hugged Haoyi with joy, "Third brother, I know that you are the best." You and the Imperial Grandmother are the best people in the world to Yi'er. ”
Yunyi let go of Haoyi, looked at him and said, "Third brother, I figured it out, I won't marry in my life, and I'll always be by your side and the imperial grandmother, and I'll be lonely for the rest of my life." ”
Haoyi patted her head, "What do you think!" That's because you haven't met someone you like, if you really do, your brain is messed up, how can there be a place for me and the imperial grandmother in your heart. ”
Yun Yi pursed his lips and smiled, "No!" I'm not a person who values color over friends. ”
Haoyi shook his head helplessly, because of Yunyi's marriage, his heart was full of sorrow.
"By the way, third brother, last time you took the imperial grandmother out of the palace to play, the imperial grandmother said that the world outside the palace walls is very lively, third brother, you can also take me to sneak out of the palace."
"If you let your father know, you will be criticized."
"Secretly!"
"No way!" Hao Yi refused.
Yun Yi pouted, looked at Hao Yi with displeasure on his face, shook Hao Yi's arm and said coquettishly, "Third brother, please, Yi'er has been stuffed in the palace all day long, I have never seen the world outside the palace walls since I was a child, you let me open my eyes, I promise, just once, once~!"
Haoyi couldn't resist Yunyi's coquettishness, and replied helplessly, "Okay, good!" But you must promise me that you will not wander around! ”
Yun Yi smiled and nodded desperately, "I promise!" Then he put his head on Haoyi's shoulder, "I know that the third brother is the best person in the world, who can marry the third brother, he must be very happy!" In the future, I will also draw a scoop according to the gourd and find a husband who loves me like the third brother. ”
Hao Yi said, "Who said it, don't get married, accompany me and the imperial grandmother to be lonely for the rest of your life!" ”
Yun Yi grinned.
When she arrived, Zhi Yan came in a pale pink peach blossom pattern gauze robe, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, and said respectfully, "Third prince, it's time for lunch." ”
Haoyi glanced at Zhi Yan slantedly, still a little uncomfortable with Zhi Yan's identity, from the top brand of the drunken Qinglou to his personal attendant, she had already regained her freedom, why did she have to spoil herself so much?
After Yun Yi saw Zhiyan, he walked up to her and looked at her carefully, "Raise your head and let Princess Ben take a look." ”
Zhi Yan bowed her head lightly and raised her head slightly.
Seeing this, Yun Yi smiled, "What a beauty who captivates the country and the city, third brother, is she the concubine you want to marry?" What's it called, oh, I remember, Peach Leaf? Right! ”
Haoyi pulled Yunyi over, "Don't talk nonsense! Let's dine with the third brother. ”
Zhiyan's heart tightened inexplicably, Ye Taozhen? Concubine? Who is she? Haoyi married her because the emperor's order could not be violated or was he willing? Whatever the reason, Zhiyan's heart was gloomy and heavy.
Is it worth exchanging his life and freedom for his sincerity?
******
On the outskirts of the West Side.
Innis and Qingli sat on the big rock by the stream for a while.
Yueshi was still digesting the deeds that she had just learned about Lin Qingshi from the storyteller and Xiao Er in the tea fragrance building.
It is said that Lin Qingshi, the second lieutenant of the dynasty, was a hero with two sleeves and a clean breeze and a high wind and bright festival, and since the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, he has done his best to serve the Wu Dynasty and won the appreciation of Emperor Wude. After the death of Emperor Wude, Emperor Wuzu succeeded to the throne and was also loyal to the Wu Dynasty. Now because of the concept of the reform of the tax system and Emperor Wuzu, a word of anger, provoked the anger of the Holy Dragon Yan, Emperor Wuzu was angry, he dismissed him, the Queen Mother read his age and virtue, and did his best for the court for half his life, with merit to offset the fault, exempted from punishment, let him return to his hometown in fine clothes, and do his best to raise his honor.
After that, Lin Qingshi went to the suburbs of the capital to live the life of ordinary people. Zeen has been a genius since he was a child, he studied martial arts in the temple, studied medicine and Buddhism, and was also quite famous in the XC district of the capital.
For example, Zhao Han, the son of the prefect, has always been domineering, relying on his father's power in the jurisdiction, clothes to reach out for food to open his mouth, never spend money on eating and drinking, and 'prostitution' is even more absurd to have no discipline, whether it is a Qinglou woman or an ordinary woman, she spends nothing, eats and wipes it all, and turns her face and denies it when she lifts her trouser legs. For this reason, the people complained, and many ordinary women could not bear the cold treatment of their neighbors because of their humiliation, or committed suicide, or hastily found someone to marry.
Zeen couldn't stand by, and accidentally met him in the restaurant to eat, quietly drugged him in his meal to stun him, and threw him into the deep mountains and old forests to feed the mosquitoes, while teaming up with many victims who were humiliated by him to sue the county government. Zhao Han, who stayed on the mountain for two days and two nights, took the initiative to admit his guilt and accept legal punishment in order to survive.
Now Zeen ran to the center of the capital, and I heard that it was to escape from marriage! Listen, how new it is! Throughout the ages, the status of men being inferior to women and the atmosphere of men having three wives and four concubines have always been that women are unwilling to marry and run away from marriage. Now there are men who do not want to marry and run away from marriage.
Before Lin Qingshi was dismissed, he had already found a good family for Zeen, and he was the youngest daughter of Peng Xi, who supervised Yu Shi Pengde. Since Lin Qingshi was dismissed, Lin Qingshi explained the marriage to Peng De three times and twice, and Peng De excused himself in every possible way on an auspicious day. Clear-eyed people can also see that Peng De, the old fox city, is deep, and the trees are scattered, and he feels that it is too aggrieved to marry his beloved daughter to Zeen, regardless of Peng Xi's reputation and wishes, he unilaterally canceled the marriage of the two families.
The dissolution of the marriage was a relief for Zeon. It's not that I don't like her, but I can't do anything to give her happiness and I don't want to delay her. So she rejected her on many excuses such as not looking down on her at all, not having the virtuous and virtuous virtues that a woman should have, not having the grace of everyone's ladies, and not knowing anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Nowadays, the two families are not in the right household, the values of the two are not at the same level, and the two are bound together by a marriage contract, and they are destined to be wronged creditors.
But for Peng Xi, that's not the case at all! Ever since she had seen Zeon, she was determined not to marry him. After Peng De advocated the cancellation of the marriage contract between the two families, Peng Xi held a grudge and packed up his baggage to elope with Zeen.
Zeen wiped his face helplessly, looked at Peng Xi in a daze, and persuaded him with good words, regardless of sending him back to Peng Mansion, he fled the capital like an outlaw. And Peng Xi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after knowing Zeen's feat, he embarked on a journey to find Zeon with his baggage.
Not to mention that these clues are somewhat true, but these clues are enough for Innis to make Zeon obey her!
Qingli sat for a while, feeling very bored, holding the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and pointing to the tiled house not far away, "Innis, should we go in?" ”
Innis was silent for a while, "Don't go in!" Let's go back! ”
Qingli stood up, raised his voice and said, "No! We have worked so hard to get from the capital to this suburb, and we have returned in vain? ”
"It's not without gain!"
"What are you investigating Zenn for?" Qingli asked listlessly, suddenly remembered something, and showed an ambiguous smile, "You don't like him, do you?" ”
Innis gave him a blank look, "Ruibao Pawnshop needs a talent like him!" ”
"Aren't you quite capable?"
"I've had a time when I'm out of skill! Zeon is very intelligent, has a lot of ideas, and is very organized and principled. ”
Qingli muttered sullenly, envying these children who read poetry and books and were born wealthy from the bottom of my heart, he is a grassroots, no knowledge, not smart enough, not high in understanding, poor family background, what do you want, live for 20 years, and achieve nothing! When I think about it, I feel more aggrieved than Wang Ba!
Innis glanced at the sullen Qingli, "What's wrong?" ”
Qingli tilted his head arrogantly, "Hmph, it's okay!" He muttered to himself, "I don't want you to look down on me!" ”
Hearing this, innis said helplessly, "Do you really have nothing else but to steal?" ”
"I've been stealing for a living since I was 6 years old, what else can I do but steal? I've developed a skill in stealing and got acquainted with a lot of people, but now it's useless at all, it's really pitiful. The more Qingli spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Innis pondered for a while, and realized that he was still somewhat useful, "If I offer you a job with food and lodging, you can ......"
Before the words were finished, Qingli nodded busily and interjected, "I do!" ”
innis blinked uncertainly, "I haven't said what it is!" ”
"I say yes!" Qing Li put on an expression of 'trust you' and smiled innocently.
Innis sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to say that he was simple and good, or that he was reliable enough to be trusted by him.
"The pawnshop needs a bodyguard, I ask you to be a bodyguard, I will provide you with accommodation and food, and give you monthly money every month."
Qingli nodded desperately and said happily, "I can!" I'm definitely up to the job. ”
"Don't say yes so fast! I have a premise! ”
"You say! I promise to do it! Qingli said with a grin.
Innis beckoned to Chingle, who listened to Innis's words and nodded from time to time.
After speaking, Innis said, "If you have completed this task, you can come to the pawnshop to find me." ”
Qingli grinned and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down for a day at most!" ”
Innis bowed her head slightly, looked at the sunset that had already set, and smiled happily, Zeen, do this, I don't believe you are not convinced!
