Chapter 9: Childe Musou (2)
Rouge took two guards and left the house happily.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many street vendors have begun to prepare lantern anagrams and the like, and the rouge is dazzling.
Rouge was dressed in brocade clothes and took two guards to be a little abrupt on the street.
Peizhou is a small border city, most of the people live in good health, compared with other places, it is only better security, but it is by no means rich, because the Zhao family is boundless spoiled, and the food and clothing are no different from the young lady in the capital.
Those who have not been out of the house for a long time are like canaries in a cage that have broken free from their shackles and flown to the boundless sky.
The sugar gourd on the side of the road aroused the gluttony in Rouge's stomach, and the little mouth swallowed saliva involuntarily, it was really cute, and the guards around him saw this, adhering to Zhao Changqing's teaching, Miss Rouge wanted to have what she wanted.
The guard stepped forward and paid for all the sugar gourds from the sugar gourd vendor, and with the stick in the sugar gourd, Rouge ate a sugar gourd, and ordered the guards to distribute the rest to a group of children not far away, and walked forward happily.
The guards were extremely touched in their hearts: our young lady is so kind, so compassionate. But our rouge just wants to, carrying a sugar gourd, a little ostentatious, not elegant enough.
After walking forward, I saw a crowd of people surrounding a girl, who collapsed on the ground, I don't know if she was dead or fainted, and her clothes were covered with blood.
Rouge walked forward and heard the whispers of the people around her: "This girl is afraid that she is dead, and even if she is not dead, she will not live long." ”
"yes, yes, it's so pitiful, it's so small."
"If you want to blame her bad life, her dead ghost father likes to gamble, and his luck is not good, every time he loses money, he goes home and gets angry with his wife and children, his son just can't stand it, and secretly ran to join the army, originally thought that he would take her mother to enjoy happiness in the future, but I didn't expect, alas, I didn't expect her mother to be lost to the casino by his father and sold to the army as a military prostitute."
"It's really pitiful, I heard that her father still wants to marry her in the dark, that is, the son of the housekeeper of the Chu family, the uncle of the Chu family who died a few days ago, seems to have died of tuberculosis, and wants to marry a dark marriage, find a girl to serve in the underworld, her father saw the wealth and stabbed her with a knife."
"Ah, how can there be such a father, this little girl is really bad."
"I don't know if she's still alive, if she dies, even if she follows her father's wishes, don't die."
Hearing this, Rouge was full of sympathy for the little girl lying on the ground, and then became very angry, in Peizhou, which was in charge of his maternal grandfather and uncle, there would be such a loss of conscience, even if the people were not rich, they would never be so poor that they would marry their living daughters to the dead.
At Rouge's motion, two guards squeezed forward and picked the girl out. An obscene-looking man next to him grabbed Zhao Heng (the guard) by the arm, not wanting Zhao Heng to take the girl away, Zhao Xi saw this, stretched out his hand and pinched it hard next door to the man, the man was in pain, let go of his hand, and Zhao Heng took the opportunity to take the girl away.
When the man saw this, he was about to step forward, but Zhao Xi stood in front of the man. The guards of the Zhao family were all tall and brave, and at this moment, they stood in front of the man, making them even more short. The man didn't dare to fight hard, and shouted loudly: "Someone, help, rob someone, kill someone, kill someone." ”
Sprinkled up, so that Zhao Xi couldn't parry, and was about to make a move to shut him up, a group of people came to surround Rouge and Zhao Heng, Zhao Xi saw this, and didn't care about the man, and quickly took action to solve the man and knocked him to the ground.
Zhao Heng understands medical skills, Rouge asked Zhao Heng to see if the girl is still saved, Zhao Heng took the pulse, and found that the girl just lost too much blood and fainted, the wound on the girl's back is not fatal, but if the bleeding is not stopped in time, I am afraid she will not survive.
After Rouge heard this, her face was very bad, and at this moment, a group of people came and surrounded her and Zhao Heng, and Zhao Xi quickly rushed over.
Seeing that the group of people was not good, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but sweat for the rouge.
A man came out from behind the group of people, well-dressed, and saw that several people in Rouge were well-dressed, guessing which son this was, and thinking about it carefully, Peizhou didn't seem to have this son.
The man nodded slightly, and saw the three of Rouge clearly, Rouge was the master, and asked Rouge a little arrogantly: "I am Chu Chengda, the housekeeper of Chu Mansion, which young master is the son, and why do you want to meddle in things?" ”
After Zhao Xi heard this, he wanted to step forward to report his name, but was stopped by Zhao Heng, and whispered in Zhao Xi's ear, listen to Miss, don't be impulsive.
Zhao Xi thought about it, although Miss is playful, she is by no means ignorant of proportion, she just listens to Miss's instructions and doesn't let others hurt Miss.
The lewd man who had just been restrained by Zhao Xi saw Chu Chengda coming, got up from the ground, limped towards him, and complained as he walked, "Master, you have to be the master of the little one, they robbed my daughter and injured me, you see." Speaking of this, he didn't forget to roll up his clothes and announce Zhao Xi's crime.
Rouge frowned, pointed to the girl in Zhao Heng's arms and said, "I am the son of the Zhao family, I just heard someone say that you want to marry this girl to your dead son, is there such a thing?" ”
After Chu Chengda heard this, he filtered through his mind the son of the Zhao family, Zhao Zijun, the son of General Weiyuan's family, he had seen it himself, and he had not heard that there were other sons in the Zhao family, so he couldn't help but say contemptuously: "What's the matter, isn't it?" I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you will not be able to afford the consequences. ”
Rouge didn't want to pay attention to Chu Chengda and them, raised his legs and walked forward, only to see the people around him holding sticks, looking at Rouge fiercely, as if Rouge took another step forward and was about to break her legs.
Rouge lingered in his heart: This Chu family is really bold, I feel that my family has married a county lord, it is amazing, my aunt is still a princess, and my uncle Princess Shang has never acted like this, it seems that family education is really important. While thinking about it, looking at Chu Chengda's face with even more disdain: "What do you want?" ”
"As long as Zhao Gongzi returns the girl to us, apologizes to me, and gives the person you injured five hundred taels of silver, I will be merciful and spare you, otherwise."
"Otherwise? Otherwise, you will kill me? You are too greedy, and the living expenses of ordinary people are only fifty taels of silver a year. ”
When the people around them heard this, they shook their heads and sighed, worried about rouge and them.
"Since you are so ignorant, come and bring them back to Chu Mansion for me."
"Wait, it's okay for me to go back to Chu Mansion with you, but this girl can't, she is seriously injured, she must see a doctor, Zhao Xi and I will go with you."
"Don't even think about it, take it all with me."
"Are you sure you can offend the Zhao Mansion?"
Chu Chengda saw Rouge's expression, and he was afraid that Rouge was really the young master of a big family, and he was afraid of causing trouble, so he agreed.
Rouge instructed Zhao Heng to take the girl back to Zhao Mansion for treatment, and then tell his uncle Zhou Rongyin about his today, so he took Zhao Xi to follow Chu Chengda to Chu Mansion.
After they left, a boy walked out of the crowd, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and straight, looking in the direction where the rouge people left, and curled the corners of his mouth.
