Chapter 70: Stunned
The willow branches are down, the shadow of the lake is full, the wind blows, the waves are sparkling, and the reflection twists regularly, which is beautiful.
Reflection lakeside.
There are groups of scholars who talk about the past and the present, showing their talents; There are beauties dancing to attract everyone's attention; There are even more noble children in fresh clothes and angry horses, whistling by majestically.
"Do you say that Zhao Jia, the son of Zhao Guo, will come here every day to wander?"
The veiled woman lightly opened her lips, her voice was smart and curious, and her big eyes showed a look of anticipation.
This masked woman is none other than the eldest princess of Chu, Mifu.
"Princess, Lan'er has investigated clearly, Gongzijia does come here every day to play and talk to those scholars by the lake."
When Qi Fu heard this, she said with some puzzlement: "Those down-and-out scholars here, what is there that is worthy of Gongzi Jia's repeated visits?" ”
When Mifu said this, it was not without purpose.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of the people who are really capable are from extraordinary backgrounds, and among the down-and-out scholars, although there have indeed been great achievers, they are only a few after all.
What's more, the vast majority of the so-called down-and-out scholars here are pretended, and many people can't even know each other completely, so they are swaggering and deceiving here, wanting to be valued by high-ranking officials and nobles.
After a long time, people's impression of the down-and-out scholars here is not good.
"Lan'er doesn't know either, if the princess is interested, she might as well come forward and ask in person after seeing Jia Gongzi."
Just when the master and servant were discussing in a low voice, Lan'er's eyes suddenly lit up.
She quietly tugged at the sleeve of Mifu's shirt and said softly, "Princess, Gongzi Jia is here, right over there." ”
Qi Fu raised her beautiful eyes and looked in the direction that Lan'er was pointing, and really saw a young man in white clothes, slowly walking towards this side.
"It's handsome, but I don't know what the guts are."
Qi Fu looked at Zhao Jia, who was dignified, a little cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her eyes looked into the distance.
Over there, there were the Yingdu gentlemen who had been appointed by Mifu in advance, all of whom were carrying strong and strong slaves.
"Drive!"
Several Yingdu got the signal from Qi Fu, and immediately rode towards Zhao Jia's side, all with a look of arrogance on their faces.
The person Lan'er invited at the beginning was just a ruffian hooligan, and Zhao Jia naturally dared to offend.
But now, these people are all famous gentlemen in Yingdu, most of them are the sons of nobles, and their status is extraordinary.
Zhao Jiayuan came to envoy Chu State, and it was best not to offend these local snakes.
Qi Fu wanted to see if Zhao Jia would not hesitate to help in the face of these people like last time.
The horses ridden by several gentlemen were all good horses.
The state of Chu is located in the south, and war horses are already very scarce, and good horses are even more difficult to find, and they are also a symbol of status.
If you are an interested person, when you see these gentlemen rampage, even if you are unhappy, you will definitely avoid their edge.
Zhao Jia, Li Si and others, seeing those people in fresh clothes and angry horses, rushed towards themselves and others without hesitation, and they were also unhappy.
"Retreat."
Although Zhao Jia was annoyed in his heart, he could also see that those people had extraordinary identities, and he lived in Chu State, but he didn't want to conflict with those people.
Therefore, Zhao Jia pulled Li Si's arm and quickly retreated, getting out of the way, and narrowly avoided being hit by the war horse.
"Good dogs don't get in the way, count them as acquaintances!"
The gentleman at the head of the group, seeing Zhao Jia behaving like this, a slight color flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly covered up.
He turned his head to face Zhao Jia and the others, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and the provocation was very strong.
"Look for death!"
The border city dressed in black, but a cold light flashed in his eyes when he saw this, and his right hand subconsciously held the hilt of the sword.
But soon, Bian Cheng felt his right hand on top of his other hand.
"Don't be like those fools."
Bian Cheng looked at Zhao Jiana's ancient and unwavering face, and his anger seemed to have been diluted a lot, and he bowed slightly, and then let go of his right hand holding the hilt of the sword.
A few gentlemen rode over, and the domestic servants they brought also ran past Zhao Jia and the others one after another.
Zhao Jia didn't care about these people, but looked at Qi Fu and Lan'er intentionally or unintentionally.
"Princess, he seems to recognize me."
Seeing this, Lan'er hurriedly turned her head and said to Qi Fu.
Qi Fu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, since the other party recognizes you, I don't expect to sit idly by, this princess just looks at his performance." ”
After Qi Fu finished speaking, she quietly distanced herself from Lan'er.
"Yo, what a delicate beauty!"
After coming to Lan'er's side, those Yingdu were all squirming, and they jumped off their horses one after another, their eyes full of banter.
"You, what are you going to do!"
Lan'er knew that these people didn't dare to do anything to themselves, but the play still had to be played, and she immediately showed a frightened look on her face, and said with some horror.
"Smack!"
The leader shook his whip violently, and there was a roaring sound in the air, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Beauty, can you have a drink with me?"
The leader of the gentleman wriggled his ass and said with a squint.
Zhao Jia, who was standing not far away, saw what happened to Lan'er, and glanced at Li Si beside him, with a strange look on his face.
The last farce directed and acted by Lan'er was actually planned by Li Si.
But today is different, because the eldest princess of Chu Guo Qi Fu came here in person, if she dares to play some tricks, if the matter is really exposed, it will backfire.
Zhao Jia didn't expect that Li Si didn't do that, but the other party became addicted to acting, and wanted to test himself.
"Childe, don't move, just watch the play quietly."
Li Si approached Zhao Jia slightly, and said in a low voice, with a slight smile on his face.
Zhao Jia smiled and nodded, already understanding what Li Si meant.
"Help, help, help!"
Seeing a few gentlemen surrounding her, Xiaolan pretended to be scared and shouted loudly, and the sadness of her voice made the listener sad.
Many people who heard the cries for help saw clearly that it was a few freshly dressed and angry horses making trouble, although they were not angry in their hearts, but they did not dare to come forward.
At this time, the eldest princess of Chu Guo, Mi Fu, had already quietly stayed away from everyone and stayed under the willow tree to watch the play quietly.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Zhao Jia from time to time, wanting to see how the other party reacted.
It's a pity that no matter how Xiaolan called for help, Zhao Jia was always indifferent, but watched with interest.
"Could it be that this princess mistook Zhao Jia, it turns out that this guy also bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and doesn't dare to grudge with these Yingdu?"
Just when Qi Fu was disappointed in her heart, she suddenly saw a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man squeezing to Lan'er's side with great effort and protecting her behind.
This person is dressed plainly, and the bookish atmosphere exuded from his body makes people feel that the other party is a scholar.
He stared at a few of them, his face furious.
"In broad daylight, under the bright sky, how dare you bully a woman from a good family!"
