Hearing his voice, Shang Qiao's body paused and stiffened a little.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and asked softly, "Someone you know?" ”

"I don't know." Shang Qiao's voice was cold, and the expression on his face was even more cold without the slightest emotion. Nangong Mo seemed to see the child who was walking alone on the road to fight with others because of the misfortune of his mother and sister. Although Shang Qiao has become a lot more active these days, those who know him know that this child is not as cheerful and well-behaved as he is in front of Nangong Mo. treats ordinary people, on the contrary, they are very alienated and indifferent.

When the young man heard this, his face immediately sank, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous, you rebel ......." ”

"What is it?" Shang Qiao turned his head and glared coldly at the man in front of him. The young man looked at the girl in gorgeous clothes beside him, opened his mouth but said nothing. Although the girl was short-tempered, she was not a fool, she looked sideways at the young man and then at Shang Qiao, and said, "Brother Huang, is he the child who followed the woman as my aunt said?" ”

The young man's face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice, "Wei'er, I've made you laugh." ”

The girl in Chinese clothes smiled: "How come? My aunt has sued me for these things, and it's not your fault, Brother Huang, I won't care about it. But... This kid is the bloodline of the Huang family, Brother Huang should take him back. ”

Qu Lianxing, who was standing beside Nangong Mo, raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. It seems that this young lady is not impulsive, and she is useless. Just looking at the way she looked at Shang Qiao, Qu Lianxing, who had not only been in the Qinglou but also in the back house of a rich family, could guess her intentions.

Sure enough, the young man looked at the girl in gorgeous clothes with great gratitude, "Wei'er, you are really a kind and virtuous girl. ”

A trace of anger flashed in Shang Qiao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and became invisible. Lala Nangong Mo's sleeve said, "Master, let's go back." ”

Nangong Mo glanced at the two men and women lightly, nodded and said, "Let's go." "This was originally Shang Qiao's business, and since Shang Qiao didn't want to pay attention to her, he wouldn't have much to deal with for him. Nangong Mo motioned for Qu Lianxing to send the old man back, and then pulled Shang Qiao to turn around and leave. Twenty taels is by no means a decimal number, there are so many onlookers on the scene, it is she who fights with the girl in gorgeous clothes, if she finally harms an old man and suffers from the seedlings, then it is theirs.

"Stop!" Seeing that the two of them ignored themselves like this, the anger on the young man's face became even stronger, "That's how your mother taught you?" I don't know if I say hello to my father? ”

It's okay not to mention my mother, Shang Qiao began to tremble as soon as he heard this word and was held by Nangong Mo. Finally broke free of Nangong Mo's hand, quickly turned around and rushed towards the young man. The young man was stunned, but he didn't react to what Shang Qiao wanted to do. Nangong Mo secretly said that it was not good, and his figure appeared behind Shang Qiao in a flash, and one hand clasped his right hand and twisted it behind him. Unbeknownst to everyone, he took a glittering dagger from his hand. No matter how Shang Qiao wanted to take revenge on this man, it definitely couldn't include personally killing this person on the street. Killing his father with his own hands is definitely not something that Shang Qiao at this age can afford. Nangong Mo doesn't care about the life of a scumbag, but he can't let the life of this scumbag ruin Shang Qiao's next life.

"Master! Master, let me go! Shang Qiao was obviously stimulated to lose his mind, and kept struggling in Nangong Mo's arms.

Seeing this, the young man naturally understood that Shang Qiao's action of rushing towards him before, he was afraid that the comer was not good. He was even more angry, his face turned pale, and his fingers pointing at Shang Qiao were trembling, "Son! What else do you want to ......?"

A cold gaze stopped him from wanting to speak, Nangong Mo suppressed the apprentice who wanted to struggle with one hand, and indifferently ordered: "Since it is someone Ah Qiao knows, let's talk in another place." ”

The young man and the girl in Chinese clothes were not stupid, in addition to the anger and jealousy at the beginning, they naturally saw that the identity of Nangong Mo and his party was not ordinary. Not to mention anything else, just look at Shang Qiao's outfit, although it is not gorgeous and rich, but the fabric workmanship is all on the top and so on. He knew what it was when Shang Qiao's mother and son were kicked out of the house, and it had changed a lot in just a few years. Apparently they were lucky enough to meet a good family and were taken in. Just now, he vaguely heard Shang Qiao calling the blue-clothed woman master... Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little more contemptuous. He's a scholar, what can a woman teach that kid?

"What do you want to do?" The girl in Huayi glared at them vigilantly, and said loudly: "Don't want to bully others, don't want to do anything because there are many of you, we also have people." ”

Qu Lianxing looked around speechlessly and asked, "Does this girl mean this little guy when she says that there are many people?" "The other party is a man and a woman, although they are a man and two women on their side, but the little guy is only eleven years old, okay? Where are they taking advantage of?

The young man's gaze turned around Nangong Mo and Qu Lianxing, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl and arched his hand to the two of them: "Since that's the case, just listen to the two girls." ”

Nangong Mo nodded, pulled Shang Qiao to turn around and walked outside. Soon the group came to a lake not far from the night market but it seemed exceptionally clean, at this time the night was dark, and the people on the street also went to the night market to enjoy the lights, and the lake was quiet and dark. Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no curfew in the city tonight, but occasionally one or two people can be seen walking by the lake with lanterns, but it only makes the whole lake seem more and more quiet and dark.

Standing under the willow tree by the lake, Nangong Mocai let go of Shang Qiao's hand and said lightly: "What good is it for you to be so impulsive?" If you really hate him so much, you will kill him for the help of your teacher. ”

Shang Qiao bit his lip and didn't speak.

The young man who came behind happened to hear Nangong Mo's last half of the sentence, and his face suddenly turned a little pale. It's just that Shang Qiao's gaze is more really angry, "Rebel son, you actually want to kill your father?!" Such a big rebellion......"

"Shut up!" Shang Qiao was cold

"Shut up!" Shang Qiao said with a cold face: "Your surname is Huang and my surname is Shang, what qualifications do you have to claim to be my father?" My father is a brute, are you a brute? ”

"You... You..."

"Ah Qiao, how can you talk to Brother Huang like this?" Behind, a girl in a gorgeous dress came in a hurry with someone. She didn't say anything big, they did go out with people. Behind the girl were four or five men who looked like housekeepers. The girl in Chinese clothes walked up to the young man and looked at Shang Qiao with a disapproving expression, "It was your mother who did something wrong and was divorced, how can you blame your father?" Ah Qiao, you can go with us, you are the descendant of the Huang family, and it is always not good to be out. ”

Shang Qiao glanced at the girl disdainfully, "Is this the wronged boss you hooked up with, or is it that the high-spirited Huang Xiucai finally couldn't bear the poverty and sold himself?" This kind of arrogant and scheming woman can't even compare to a single hair of my master. Don't spend money to buy a man, there is indeed no son of a good family who is willing to sacrifice himself to accommodate him. ”

"Ah Qiao." Nangong Mo supported his forehead, how could Ah Qiao learn to be so poisonous at a young age, who taught him badly? Nangong Mo couldn't help but reflect, could it be that they usually set a bad example for their children?

"You... You... Where's your mother? That's what she taught you? Huang Xiucai was so angry that he trembled.

"She's dead, and so is my sister." Shang Qiao said expressionlessly.

Huang Xiucai couldn't help but be stunned, although he acquiesced when his mother drove the mother and son out of the door, he never thought that they would die. Maybe it's because he doesn't want to go, after all... A weak woman with two young children is homeless, and it is a miracle to be able to live well, right?

When people are alive, they will only dislike each other's boring, but they don't want to think that the merchant lady back then was also the beloved daughter of Mr. Academy, and she was also a delicate woman who asked for marriage from hundreds of schools in ten miles and eight towns. If it weren't for his family, for a mother-in-law who couldn't do anything but study, and didn't do anything but complain, how could Shang Qiao's mother become a boring country woman? Now that he knows that the person is gone, Huang Xiucai remembers how happy he was when he and his sister first met and got married. I couldn't help but feel a little more guilty and guilty, "Since your mother is gone, you can go back with us." After the father and... Will take good care of you. ”

"Who is rare." Shang Qiao sneered sarcastically. Blown by the cold wind by the lake, Shang Qiao also calmed down at this time. looked at Huang Xiucai's eyes, turned around and took Nangong Mo's hand and said, "Master, I don't want to see them, let's go back." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "That's it?" She knew in her heart how deep the resentment accumulated in Shang Qiao's heart was, and said that Shang Qiao let Huang Xiucai go so lightly, why did she not believe it so much?

Shang Qiao smiled: "The apprentice will study hard, and he will come back well... Give them back. As for now, as long as he knows that they are destined to be unsuccessful, Ah Qiao is happy. "Why did Huang Xiucai suddenly appear in Chenzhou? Shang Qiao thought about it but understood. Since Master moved to Chenzhou with them, things have been even more important. A few days ago, he personally saw Mr. Qin personally write a recruitment order and announce it to the Quartet. All scholars who have the fame of talent can go to the local government office to participate in the selection, and as long as they are selected, they can be granted temporary official positions. If no mistakes have been made within three months, they can be transferred to official positions. And people with higher ideals will naturally come to the Lingzhou Mansion in person, because this is where the county lord of Xingcheng personally sits. As long as it gets the attention of the county lord of Xingcheng or the prince of Qin, it is just around the corner. Obviously, Huang Xiucai, who was originally quite famous in his hometown, looked down on those inconspicuous sesame petty officials awarded by the county government. I don't know how the eldest lady of a rich family came to Lingzhou.

Hearing this, Qu Lianxing looked at the man opposite with some sympathy. Offended the beloved apprentice of the lord of Xingcheng County, and still want to rise to prominence?

Nangong Mo didn't care either, he raised his hand with a smile and brushed away the hair that covered his face for the apprentice and said, "Don't take these things too seriously, they will affect your heart." ”

"I know." Shang Qiao said, "The apprentice just thinks about it by the way." ”

"Good, go back and wait for Jun Mo to come back, and let him wait for you to go to the army to play."

"Master is so good." Shang Qiao's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his head rubbed against Nangong Mo's palm like a well-behaved cat. I can't see that Fang Cai is still full of anger, showing his teeth and claws.

"Wait! You... You are ......" Huang Xiucai's mind flashed, and he couldn't help but shout.

Originally, he was just amazed by the beauty of these two women, and secretly guessed their identities. But when he heard Nangong Mo say the word Jun Mo and the army, the conjecture that was originally in his mind that he wanted to break through the ground was finally affirmed, and he pointed at Nangong Mo and exclaimed: "You are... Are you the Lord of Star City?! ”

The girl in Chinese clothes who followed him was also startled, looked at Nangong Mo and said, "Brother Huang, what did you say?" How could she be the Lord of Star City? Although she hadn't seen the county lord, she had also heard of which county lord didn't have servants hugging him when he traveled? In addition to being pretty, these two women are not as pompous as her.

That Huang Xiucai doesn't know anything like her, and in order to be able to pass the guò recruitment order and select these days, she has wasted a lot of effort to find out the news. Now Lingzhou City, including Jinzhou and Yuezhou, is the wife of General Wei, and the head of Xingcheng County. It is said that the lord of Xingcheng was born to everyone and has a beautiful appearance. Now the most important people who follow her are two young people, a man and a woman. The man is only known as Qin, but he does not know his name and origin. And the woman's surname is Lianxing, it is said that she was rescued by the county lord from the Lingzhou rebellion, and her appearance is also gorgeous. Doesn't it fit the image of the two women in front of you?

Looking at the young man standing beside Nangong Mo, Huang Xiucai opened his mouth and wanted to squeeze out a smile but couldn't squeeze it out for a long time, let alone know what to say. But the girl named Wei'er next to him looked at him worriedly, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Under the weather? ”

"I... It's nothing. Huang Xiucai said with difficulty.

Wei'er comforted softly: "Brother Huang, don't worry. There must be no problem with my father's help in dredging, you are so talented that you will definitely be able to make a splash. ”

Speaking of which, the fate of Huang Xiucai and this girl is also a very simple thing. Wei'er's surname is Li, and her family is a wealthy businessman in Yuezhou. The status of merchants in this world is always the lowest, don't say that they are just ordinary rich merchants, even the Zhu family, who is rich and rivals the country, is not inferior in front of other families? Naturally, a person who is an official will not be willing to marry the daughter of a businessman as a regular wife, and even ordinary scholars with a future and backbone will not be willing. This time, Nangong Mo's recruitment order made Master Li see a glimmer of hope, regardless of those who are above the top, there are also many outstanding talents among the lower-level talents. And now there is no need to go to the past, and the life of these scholars is not easy. If there is the financial support of their Li family at this time, it is still possible to choose a promising Chenglong fast son-in-law.

It happened that at this time, when Li Weier went out to offer incense, she met Huang Xiucai, who also accompanied her mother to the temple to pray for blessings, and Master Li thought twice that this was indeed a suitable son-in-law candidate. First, Huang Xiucai is not too old, and he is only twenty-seven years old this year. Huang Xiucai is twenty-two years old, which is very good at this age in a place like Yuezhou, where the culture is not prosperous. After all, how many people can be on the gold list at the age of twelve or thirteen, fifteen or sixteen years old, and seventeen or eighteen years old? Don't you see, many people are in their seventies and eighties, and they are still trembling into the examination room just for a meritorious name?

Therefore, Master Li thinks that Huang Xiu is a very worthy of investment. The family is poor, and there is no one else in the family except an old mother, a concubine and the children born to the concubine. What's more, he doesn't have much to choose from. In this part of Yuezhou, those who are more talented than Huang Xiucai are either old enough to marry and have children, or their family backgrounds are still unusable, and their father-in-law is not a pillar of support. Those who need people to support are either a lot of drags at home or their talent is far inferior to Huang Xiucai, or they are crooked melons and cracked dates, and Li Weier can't look down on them. If it's neither, and they have a high temper, they don't look down on them full of copper stench. In this world, there are really people who don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice.

So, when Master Li acquiesced and the old lady of the Huang family was happy, the Li family and the Huang family quickly made a family appointment. Master Li plans to find a way to spend some money to donate an official position to Huang Xiucai first, and then let them get married. Although Li Weier is a little arrogant and arrogant, she also grew up in the back yard of a huge away from home. And she doesn't have Shang Qiao's mother's good temperament, it is very simple to take a Huang Xiucai who only reads sage books, and it is very simple to have an old lady Huang who has a son who doesn't know anything and a concubine she bought. Even Shang Qiao's mother and son, who were abandoned and kicked out of the house before, she had inquired. Even if Huang Xiucai wanted to recognize her son one day, how she should deal with it was taught by her mother face-to-face. That's why Fang Cai has a pleasant face towards Shang Qiao.

The more Li Weier said that Huang Xiucai's face became more ugly, and she offended the county lord of Star City and wanted to be a blockbuster? At least don't think about it in Lingzhou.

Shang Qiao didn't bother to look at Huang Xiucai's changing face, and pulled Nangong Mo's sleeve and said, "Master, let's go back." Ah Qiao is hungry. ”

Nangong Mo touched his little head and smiled, "Okay, let's go." ”

Seeing that they were leaving, Huang Xiucai finally couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "County Lord, please stay." ”

Qu Lianxing's face turned cold, and he stepped forward to block in front of him. A dagger was placed on his neck, "What do you want to do?" "Although the martial arts are not good, but it also has to divide people. Dealing with Huang Xiucai, Qu Lianxing can be regarded as a master.

Huang Xiucai hurriedly said: "This... Miss Qu, it's all a misunderstanding, and Ah Qiao... I am his father. This qiē is all a misunderstanding......"

Qu Lianxing sneered: "Misunderstanding? This girl didn't see any misunderstanding. Since Ah Qiao doesn't want to deal with you now, I advise you to be honest and shrunk your tail. ”

Seeing Shang Qiao and Nangong Mo turn around to leave, Huang Xiucai couldn't help but shout: "Huang Qiao, you stop for me!" ”

------Off topic------

Ahem, in fact, Wa didn't plan to bully Miss Wei'er. Although the temper is not very good and there is something like that, it is tragic enough to meet a father. After adding ink to her on the spot, Mo Mo will not worry about her. Of course, if the girl doesn't really want to die, she wants to disfigure. Knowing Momo's identity, it's brain-dead to die like that.
