"Oh my God! What is she doing? ”

Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting at the round table drinking tea and chatting with her sister, stood up and walked forward quickly after hearing the sudden exclamations of her two nieces on the other side of the railing, raised her eyes and saw Xia Shuanghan dancing with whips in the private room on the other side of the river.

"Yan'er, what's going on, didn't you say that the reason why you invited Zhongyi Xiangjun here today is just to let her help you strengthen your courage? But why, why did she run over there to fight people now? ”

"Mother, Shuang Han is by no means such a person who indiscriminately uses violence against each other indiscriminately, although I don't know why she suddenly made a move, but I believe that this incident will definitely not be her fault."

With a firm trust on her face, she turned to Mrs. Zhang, who was holding her arm in disbelief with a panicked face, and Zhang Yunyan, whose eyes shone with determination, said: "It's very simple to know what is going on, we just need to rush over now." ”

"Okay, I'd like to see if she has any reason to casually beat someone at the important juncture when you see your husband." Mrs. Zhang, who was not full of trust in Xia Shuanghan like her own daughter, and only thought of going to the other side of the river to ask Xia Shuanghan for her guilt, took a step forward even when she lifted her skirt and led her way out of the private room and downstairs.

In the private room on the other side of the river, Xia Shuanghan, who had already beaten the four men in front of him to cry for his father and mother, temporarily lowered the whip in his hand, turned his head to Xie Zhuoting on his side and said: "Zhuo Ting, in your own private room, in order to press the dragon boat race, you should prepare a pen and paper to predict the outcome of the competition in advance, right?" Now I want you to go next door and bring me a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

"Okay, Sister Shuanghan, I'll go now." In the past three-pillar incense time, Xie Zhuoting, who had been holding his back against the gate to prevent the four men in front of him from escaping, had this sentence written on his energetic face - "Sister Shuanghan fought well!" It's really enjoyable! ”

Then, he turned around and opened the door and ran out, and quickly ran back with a tray containing pen, ink, paper and inkstone according to Xia Shuanghan's request.

took the tray and raised his chin, signaled Xie Zhuoting to close the door again, so as to stop those who were watching the excitement outside the door Xia Shuanghan, grabbed the wolf in the tray and dipped it in the inkstone, and then took a piece of snow-white rice paper and spread it on the empty tabletop, and wrote the words "confession" with a snake.

"Zhuo Ting, what are the surnames of these guys, who believes that you know very well, right? How to write their names, tell me quickly. ”

"Okay, they are called ......" Xie Zhuoting, who pressed her back against the gate again, could see from Xia Shuanghan's series of actions that she was cleaning up the aftermath of this matter, so as to relieve all worries, and couldn't help grinning.

On a confession written on the back of the paper, the following content is written: On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the year of Bingyin, a restaurant on the bank of the Jiuqu River, so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so, because in broad daylight, with extremely vulgar words that could not bear to be listened to, maliciously insulted, insulted and criticized the loyal townsman Xia Shuanghan, as well as the young lady Zhang Yunyan of the Ministry of Servants, was whipped and scolded by Xia Shuanghan, who was the object of criticism, and at the same time was taught a lesson by Xie Zhuoting, who was upset for his friends.

After some flesh and skin pain, the four of them repented and were ashamed, so they decided to change their past mistakes and learn the lesson of blood and tears this time with practical actions. The specific method is as follows: The four people who were beaten immediately signed and wrote this paper to admit their guilt, and they will never pursue any responsibility of Zhongyi Xiangjun, Miss Zhang, and Gongzi Xie in any way because of today's incident.

"Alright." Xia Shuanghan, who dropped the last word on the rice paper and put down the brush in her hand, pulled Qi Jing, who was closest to her, and said: "The main criminal, let's start signing and drawing from you now!" ”

Qi Jing, who was rudely pulled to the table by Xia Shuanghan, had a faint pain in his calf, and looked down and read through the contents of the paper with doubts and fear. After he took the last line of the iron and silver hook on the confession -- this confession was by no means a confession, but the true voice of the four of us and the others -- in his eyes, he could not help but feel bitter with regret when he understood what he would get once he signed and drew the confession.

"What, do you think I'll be responsible for paying you for the soup and medicine if I beat someone? It's a beautiful idea! I don't have time to worry about this matter, and I will entangle with you in the future, and even go to Jingzhao Yin's yamen to go to court. Roughly rubbing the back of the man next to him, Xia Shuang, who shoved the brush into his hand, smiled and threatened: "Hurry up, if you dare to play tricks on the matter of signing and drawing, be careful that I will serve with a whip again!" ”

"......" trembled and held the brush in his whipped right hand, although he was unwilling but had no ability to resist Qi Jing, he hung his head helplessly and obediently signed and drawn.

"Whether it is Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing, who love the loyal and righteous townsmen like treasures, or her father Xia Hanlin, who is quite favored by the saints, or her childhood sweetheart Liu Zhuangyuan, I can't afford to mess with these people, so in the face of her who is so tough and far more powerful than me, I still obediently consider myself unlucky, don't try to retaliate with pebbles."

The four men who all thought so in their hearts obeyed Xia Shuanghan's order with interest, and after dropping their names, they dipped their right thumbs in the inkstone, and then pressed a handprint next to their names. Then, when the last person pressed the fingerprints, she finally took her daughter to squeeze down the stone arch bridge, and Mrs. Zhang, who rushed over from across the river, raised her hand and knocked on the door of the private room.

"Zhuo Ting, open the door." Holding the half-dried confession in his hand, he forced the four men in front of him to retreat to Xia Shuanghan, who was standing by the wall, with his eyes, and handed over the rice paper in his hand before Mrs. Zhang stepped into the private room and asked questions. "If Mrs. Zhang has anything to say, please read this confession first."

With a puzzled look in her eyes, Mrs. Zhang, who took the list of papers, turned pale with a white face, and her lips trembled slightly: "This ...... Are all of the above accounts true? For a while, I couldn't accept my chosen future son-in-law, but in fact, she was a two-faced Mrs. Zhang, who was in front of her and behind her back, and stumbled slightly with two feet weak.

"Madam, if you have any doubts, you can ask Zhuo Ting to repeat all the conversations between the four of them. After all, the private room set by the Xie family is next door to this room. Therefore, all the foul language that the four of them said on the side of the railing were all listened to by Zhuo Ting. ”

"No...... Stop! Mrs. Zhang, who stood firm under the support of her daughter and the girl, and had already accepted Xia Shuanghan's explanation for why she wanted to beat people, said: "I can't let those foul words pollute Yan'er's ears or even hurt her heart. ”

Mrs. Zhang, who showed a resolute and strong look on her face and her eyes breathing fire, turned to Qi Jing and the four of them who were standing against the wall, and said angrily in a cold and calm tone: "You four, you will disappear from my face immediately, I will never see you again in the future!" ”

The four people standing against the wall looked at each other until they heard Xia Shuanghan's "You can go", and they limped out of the private room with each other's whip-scarred bodies.

"Zhuo Ting, go, keep an eye on the point, let them pay for the losses in the store before leaving." Xia Shuanghan, who has never borne any costs since he was a child, will not lose money for those broken teacups and teapots for them.

"Okay, Sister Frost!"

Xie Zhuoting, who immediately patted his chest and showed a reliable look on his face, turned around and walked out of the house and walked downstairs with the four people who were limping in front of him, and sighed silently in his heart: "Sister Shuanghan, this is the correct way to beat people, which is like me, every time I beat someone outside before, I was not only chased by the injured and their families to ask for the cost of soup and medicine, but also reprimanded by my family members unreasonably." Only by occupying the moral high ground like Sister Shuanghan, and at the same time not having to pay a copper plate, can you really let yourself get a sense of pleasure in the beating of people. ”

"Yan'er, don't hurry up and thank the loyal townsman." Because of the departure of the five people, in the private room, which became a lot empty in an instant, pulled over her daughter who was stunned and looked at the confession and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang, who was full of emotion in her heart, said: "If there is no loyal and righteous countryman today, no matter how angry my mother and I are, I can't help you out of this evil breath!" ”

"Frost ...... I ......" Even if she didn't hear those insulting words, judging from Xia Shuanghan and Xie Zhuoting's anger to the fact that she was beating people, Zhang Yunyan, who could completely deduce what kind of vicious and obscene words it was, instantly turned red.

"I said, are you moved by my righteous help, or are you wronged by their malicious insults?" In order to prevent the confession from being wet with Zhang Yunyan's tears, Xia Shuanghan hurriedly pulled it out of her hand, and while folding the paper and putting it into her arms, she comforted her friend with words.

"If you are moved by my righteous help, then you don't have to cry, since I have made you a friend, it is naturally impossible to watch you jump into the fire pit. If you are wronged by their malicious insults, then you don't have to cry, hold your head high and cheer up, and then find a husband who is a thousand times and ten thousand times better than him, that is the best response to them. ”

"Frost!"

"Wow" threw herself into Xia Shuanghan's arms and cried, not only with the two emotions that she had just said, but also with a strong sense of frustration and disappointment, Zhang Yunyan just wanted to cry and vent all her emotions.

"I obviously came happily with full expectations, but I ended up meeting such a Sven scum, I was angry, and at the same time I was even more sad, could it be that I will never find a good man to rely on in my life?"

"Nonsense! Our Yun Yan is so good, that eyeless bastard can't look down on you, that's his loss! Xia Shuanghan, who raised his hand and gently patted her friend's back for a moment, then pushed her up from his arms and said, "Don't cry!" We didn't book this private room, and now that the people who booked the private room have left, how can you still cry your nose here leisurely? ”

"Frost and cold, you are always so beautiful, after you say this, I can't even cry anymore." After receiving the handkerchief handed to her by her personal maid, Zhang Yunyan, who immediately burst into tears and smiled, quickly went downstairs with her friend and mother.

Things are like this, it is impossible to return to the private room of Linjiang Immortal and continue to watch the dragon boat race as if nothing happened.

So, after taking a look at her daughter's depressed and sad expression, Mrs. Zhang, who decided to let Xia Shuanghan and Balia enlighten Zhang Yunyan, made up her mind - Yan'er, you follow them to relax, and when the sun turns west, my mother will let the coachman come over to pick you up.

Sitting in a carriage with two friends and his younger brother, Xia Shuanghan, who was staggering to his house, accidentally saw Liu Zirun, who was struggling to squeeze through the crowd on the side of the crowded street to buy rock sugar gourds for his sister through the half-open window.

"Yun Yan still hasn't completely let go of Zirun to this day, and Zirun has never made a new family relationship since she quit her family, so is it possible for the two of them to start again?"

With such a question in his heart, Xia Shuanghan, who felt that it was not too much to find out if there was such a possibility between the two friends, found Liu Zirun at dusk on the second day.

"Senior brother." On Suzaku Street at dusk, Xia Shuanghan, who was riding in a carriage, waited for Liu Zirun, who was on duty from the household.

"Frosty?" Liu Zirun, who was riding on horseback and going to his house against the afterglow of the setting sun, couldn't help but smile with novelty and rarity after seeing Xia Shuanghan sitting in the carriage: "What's wrong with you today, you actually got in the carriage?" Isn't it, you accidentally twisted your foot, so you can't ride a horse, right? ”

"No, I'm in good health, come up for a while, I have something I want to ask you." Put down the carriage curtain raised in his hand, and waited for his hair to climb into the carriage for Xia Shuanghan, until Liu Zirun sat down, and the carriage slowly drove towards the east of the city, then he spoke: "You also know that I am a straight intestine when I am young, and I will not talk in a twisted way, so I will directly ask an abrupt question, I hope you don't get angry." ”

"Look at what you said, which of us is with whom? It's not like we've only known each other for a day or two, so you don't have to say these kind words. ”

Facing the hearty smile of Fa Xiao, Xia Shuanghan, who was ready to pave the way for the upcoming conversation, said: "I want to ask you, when you broke off the marriage contract with Miss Zhang's family, what was it because you were dissatisfied with her, so you didn't feel that it was a pity to lose that family business?" ”

"It's been so long, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

I really didn't expect that Fa Xiao invited himself to the carriage, and Liu Zirun, who was mysteriously talking about such a thing, widened his eyes slightly and said truthfully: "When I first started to talk about marriage, I didn't have any special good feelings or obvious bad feelings for her, that is, so-so, not good, not bad!" The main reason why she broke off the marriage contract with her later was because of the nonsense and unreasonable temper of the eldest lady she showed in the process of attacking you. ”

Since returning to Beijing from Guanwai last year, Xia Shuanghan, who has learned that Zhang Yunyan regretted her wayward words and deeds, will not care about her behavior that has attacked her. Hearing a hint of possibility from Fa Xiaocai's answer, she just asked: "Then if she is no longer the ignorant eldest lady she was at the beginning, and she has long been insulated from the words nonsense and unreasonableness, will you still reject her?" ”

"Then it shouldn't be, all I want is a wife who knows how to be considerate, knows how to care about people, and is also knowledgeable, gentle and generous." Liu Zirun, who was slightly paused at this point, shook his head and said, "What are you talking about now?" Miss Zhang has Miss Zhang's own life, and I also have my own life to live, and since the time when I broke off the marriage contract with her, I have been destined to have no intersection in this life. ”

"Really? In my opinion, that's a possibility. Grinning and showing a comfortable smile, he felt that Zhang Yunyan could fully meet the requirements of Liu Zirun to choose a mate, and immediately made up his mind to inform Zhang Yunyan of today's conversation as soon as possible. As for whether the two of them can get together in the end, it depends on their own intentions.

The rattling carriage sent the two people in the carriage back to the east of the city, and after saying goodbye to Liu Zirun, who was riding back on the horse at the fork in the road, Xia Shuanghan also quickly returned to her and Lu Shaoyun's small home.

"You deliberately got into the carriage today, just to help someone else get married? When I saw you on Suzaku Street just now, I thought you were there to pick me up! As a result, who knows it's not, this really disappoints me! Lu Shaoyun, who was returning home on horseback after Xia Shuanghan's carriage, asked jokingly after entering the house: "Shuanghan, if you don't go another day, you will also pick up your husband and me, right?" ”

"When it's freezing and snow is falling in winter, even if you ask me not to pick you up, I'll definitely go." With a helpless and indulgent smile, Xia Shuanghan saw a hint of coquettishness on her husband's face and said, "At that time, I will also prepare a brazier with silver charcoal for you, as well as a hot hand warmer." Of course, if you need a snack or a cup of fragrant milk tea, then I can also prepare it for you. ”

"Frost! You're really my help. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for! Lu Shaoyun, who stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his wife, lowered his head and kissed Xia Shuanghan's left and right cheeks. (To be continued.) )
