Chapter 9: The Guests of Xie Yuan
This year's Wancheng in Layue is particularly cold. On the one hand, it is due to the heavy snowfall at the beginning of the month, and on the other hand, it is also because the winter has really become colder and colder over the years.
However, the depression of the weather did not stop the recent high mood and excitement of Wancheng people. People who had nothing to do in the winter gathered and excitedly discussed something that had nothing to do with them.
On this day, a delicate and small carriage came to Xie Yuanmen, Yangwen Street, Wancheng, the horse was obviously not a local horse in Jingzhou, with a tall posture, a high head, and a proud demeanor as if it was the noble daughter of the prince in the kingdom of horses. The whole body of the car was painted with dark red paint, and the wheels, windows, and wheels were carefully carved everywhere, apparently by the hands of famous artists.
As soon as the car stopped, a petite, cute and pleasing little girl around thirteen or fourteen years old jumped and lifted the thick curtain, rushed down like a collision, and drove away the young man waiting in front of the car. ”
The curtain of the car was slowly lifted, and a young woman of her age, with a willow face and a graceful posture, held her hand and stepped out of the car, and she smiled and said to the man: "There is a labor boy." ”
Fang Gongzi listened to her words, like a person in the wilderness in the cold winter suddenly walked into spring, and his unhappy face, which was originally "pushed away", instantly became extremely brilliant: "I can serve the Lu girl, I am willing!" ”
"I was glad to hear that you were coming back. I think about it, only my family can live in this other courtyard in this Wan City for the time being. ”
"Xie Yuan......" She looked at the red door and chuckled: "Fang Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, the little woman has a humble status, and she ...... here." ”
"Huh? Fang Dabai? Why are you here? A voice sounded suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but look over there.
I saw a man not far away carrying a wine jug upside down, stumbling up, he laughed debauchedly: "Fang Dabai, go, go, go!" I heard that the people of the Liu family and the Zheng family are fighting on South Street again, haha, there is a good show to watch again! Fast! Let's go! ”
"Nimmo! From today onwards, I will break off my friendship with you! Fang Gongzi shouted angrily.
"Break up?" Ning Mo was surprised, "Fang Dabai, why is this?" Eh, who is this? ”
"Fang Xuanzhong, get rid of him for me! Fast! Fang Gongzi said angrily.
In a burst of angry scolding and noise, Fang Gongzi invited the landing girl into Xie Garden.
"Makes you laugh. I will never be friends with such people in the future! Fang Gongzi swore an oath.
She smiled, not seeming to believe his words too much, and she asked an unrelated question: "Here, why is it called Xie Yuan?" ”
"Huh? This was originally built by a family surnamed Xie, and later changed hands several times and came into the hands of my Fang family. Its name has not changed, it is called Xie Yuan. ”
She nodded, looking at her dwellings step by step.
"Lu Gongzi, don't you know, Ning Mo is ......"
"By the way, I just heard, what did the two families of Liu and Zheng fight? What's going on? ”
Fang Gongzi's face showed a happy look: "Lu Gongzi just came back from Jingshi, and I don't know what happened in Jingzhou recently. This Liu Zheng family actually tore their faces because of the champion, a few acres of barren land in the remote place of Shunyang! The Zheng family sued the Liu family to the county government, and the little son of the Zheng family also let out the words: Once his Zheng family's people see Liu's people, they will beat them once! ”
"In the past few days, they have fought several times. That Zheng Sheng is really Zheng Pingzhi's son, and he takes the lead every time he fights, and he is very brave! ”
Then, his eyebrows fluttered to describe the scene of the group fight.
Miss Lu smiled and waited for him to finish, nodded silently, and then continued to walk forward.
Fang Gongzi's heart was cold, and he felt that what he had just said was bad, so he hurriedly rushed forward: "Lu Gongzi, it's still early today, so let's talk about it or two." ”
"Sorry, I'm tired." She said with an apologetic face, "These days, the little woman is tired of traveling and driving, and she really doesn't dare to obey her fate. ”
"Good, good, good. That doesn't bother. He left the garden with a dejected expression. When he got to the street, he looked left and right: "Ning Mo!" Where is he? It's this person who is disturbing a certain big thing! Somebody, somebody, somebody, and somebody! Break up! ”
……
"Childe, it's very nice here! It's better than when I was in Luoyang! The little maid said with a smile.
"Okay so what?" She said with a gloomy expression, "No matter how good the house is, I'm just a commoner's daughter now." ”
"Master, he ......" The little maid suddenly remembered something, and her face quickly drooped, "What should we do?" ”
"Go home. Let's go home, I'm going home to be with my father. She muttered.
"But what will we do when we get home?" The little maid said hurriedly.
She thought blankly and said softly, "I don't know." ”
"Childe, I think Fang Gongzi is quite interesting, don't you say?" The little girl lifted her.
Miss Lu shook her head and chuckled: "I think that Ning Gongzi is also more open-minded than him." Whatever his intentions are today? ”
"That Nimmo?" The little maid felt that her mind could not be rounded. She had no choice but to change the topic again, "The two families in Wancheng are fighting, and the county government doesn't care?" Also, the little son of the Zheng family actually did it himself......"
"His name is Zheng Sheng? Is it Zheng Sheng of Zheng Zi Paper, the Library, and the Auction? She has lived in Luoyang for a long time, although she rarely goes out, but she has also heard of Zheng Sheng.
"Well, it should be him, right? There should be only this one Zheng Shizi in Jingzhou, right? And it's Zheng Shizi named Zheng Sheng, and there is only that person. ”
"Since that's the case, since that's the case." She said it twice, but the thoughts in her heart flashed out of nowhere.
……
"Is the dispute between the Zheng family and the Liu family really for those few acres of thin fields?" She asked, smiling, putting down the cup.
As if his mind was immersed in an ethereal dream, Fang Gongzi's mind was dizzy, and he explained to his "goddess": "Who said it wasn't? Because of this incident, Liu Ke fell into the name of injustice. It also has a great impact on Liu Youcheng's prestige. ”
"But the Zheng clan is not only in trouble with the Liu clan, their caravan was robbed by the people of Shi Jingzhou, and people died. It is very likely that the Shi family and the Liu family are teaming up to deal with the Zheng family. Whether the Zheng family can survive this hurdle, no one can say! Fang Gongzi said as if he was confident.
"I see." She said softly.
"However, that Zheng family kid really has the courage to not be afraid of **!" Fang Gongzi's tone was full of appreciation for Zheng Sheng.
"The two of them still have to go to court?"
"Yes, just tomorrow, does Lu Gongzi want to go over and see it?"
"Don't bother with the housekeeper." Miss Lu politely refused.
Wait for the boy to leave with regrets.
The little maid Jade couldn't wait to ask, "Childe, let's go to the court?" ”
"Go. Let's go and meet the famous Zheng Xiaoshizi in Luoyang. ”
