Chapter 035: What is the situation in the world?
Wang Ningzhi is 16 years old this year, old and well-informed. When I heard that a fritter was sold for one or two pieces of silver, I immediately became angry: "Piff, you dare to ask for a price and bully young children." Do you dare to cheat my Langyu Wang's money? ”
Wang Huizhi next to him hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, why be angry, people didn't force you to buy it." If you want to eat, you can buy it, if it's too expensive, why bother! Come, two taels of silver, and give me two too! Then he took the fritters handed by Shanbo and ate them in a big bite, saying yes while eating.
Ning Zhi watched the fifth brother eat deliciously, and secretly swallowed his saliva, but he was embarrassed to speak.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the big boats by the river, and countless maids, women, and eunuchs ran down from the boats and stood on both sides of the road. Ma Duo knew that Xin'an County was mainly disembarking, and hurriedly led everyone to stand by the river and wait.
The lord of Xin'an, accompanied by Linhai Taishou and Lantian Marquis Wang Shu, stepped off the boat.
Wang Shu, the word Huaizu, the Marquis of Jue Lantian, known as Wang Lantian, belongs to the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Langyu Wang family has the same ancestor and different ancestry.
Wang Shu lost his father at a young age, kept the covenant peacefully, and only after 30 years did he embark on a career under the cultivation of Situ Wang Dao, and now he is the assassin of Yangzhou, assisting Sima Yu, the king of Langyu, to deal with the government of the court, and Wang Biaozhi of the Wang clan of Langyu is the right-hand man of the palace.
On this trip, Wang Shu came to congratulate the Ma family on behalf of the Langyu Palace, and at the same time accompanied the lord of Xin'an County to visit Huiji County.
The lord of Xin'an is tall, half a head taller than Wang Shu, with a goose egg face, white and yellowish skin, thick and long eyebrows, a pair of large and divine peach blossom eyes, erratic eyes, a firm nose, a slightly larger nose, freckles are vaguely visible on both sides, slightly thicker lips, and he speaks loudly. There are two high mountains standing on his chest, and the waves are rough when he walks.
Judging by her physiognomy, this is a woman with strong desires that are difficult to satisfy.
When everyone saw the county lord get off the boat, they hurriedly saluted. With the support of the maid, the county lord of Xin'an scanned the audience with her eyes, and even the soldiers standing guard around her. It's all a bunch of bad guys, and there's not a single character worth watching.
Wang Shu coughed lightly next to him, which means that you asked everyone to get up, and they were still kneeling on the ground!
Only then did the county lord of Xin'an come to his senses, "Everyone! ”
The crowd was still slowly getting up. Marven was the first to stand up because he was young and fast. Suddenly, he was the only one standing by the river, like a flock of chickens.
The county lord of Xin'an immediately noticed him, and his eyes lit up. I saw that this man was about twenty years old, with a long figure, a white helmet and white armor covered with a robe, a sword at his waist, and a long bow on his back. Looking at the appearance, the face is like a powder, the sword eyebrows are starry, the lips are red and the teeth are white, demure and elegant, warm and masculine, wise and martial, what a handsome little man, a mighty hero! Raced over Xiliang Jinma Chao, not lost to Changshan Zhao Zilong.
"Who is this person, such a sunny and handsome beautiful man! Qiantang is really a place of outstanding people, why didn't I find her just now? The county lord of Xin'an stared at Ma Wencai and almost asked.
But it was rude to ask someone's name and surname, and the county lord was embarrassed to speak, and he was secretly anxious in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a cry of "quack, quack" in the distance, and it turned out that two wild geese that migrated south were tired of flying and stopped by the river to drink water and rest. With a black mouth, a long neck, a black back and a white belly, and red soles, she is very cute. After drinking the water, the two geese also feathered each other, crossed their necks and chirped, like kissing, and their expressions were very intimate.
The county lord of Xin'an suddenly had an idea, pointed to the wild goose in the distance and said, "Who of you is willing to shoot it for me?" There are big rewards. ”。
The county mainly shoots geese, but among the people, only Marven carries a bow and arrow, and only he can shoot, so everyone's eyes are on him.
Ma Wencai bent down and replied, "Wencai is not talented, I am willing to give it a try." ”
Everyone hurriedly dodged a clearing, and Marven bent his bow and arrows, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind, hugging the moon in his arms.
The two geese were unusually alert, and seemed to sense that danger was coming, and they flew up with a quack.
"Bang", the bowstring sounded, the arrow was like a meteor, and a wild goose just flew less than two feet high and fell to the ground.
Everyone applauded in unison, praising Xiao Langjun's superb archery skills. Countless little stars flickered in the eyes of the county lord of Xin'an, full of worship.
"Okay, Xiao Langjun's archery skills are superb, and the characters are even more handsome. This kind of talent can only be matched by the county lord and princess. I wonder who he is? ”
The last sentence made everyone stunned and stunned. What, with the county lord, doesn't this mean that the county lord has taken a fancy to others? You're here to congratulate, not to rob your relatives.
Ma Yunhai saw that things were not good, so he hurriedly walked out of the crowd and said: "This is a dog Wencai, and he is the one who married on September 18." ”
"It's a pity." The county lord of Xin'an muttered, and everyone didn't hear it clearly.
At this moment, the wild goose, which had already fled, flew back again, first circling and dancing around its companion on the ground, and then falling to the ground and wandering, as if it did not know that its companion was dead, and pecked at its companion with its beak, as if to tell it to get up and go together. Seeing its companion motionless, perhaps it also realized that something was wrong, and raised its head and chirped into the sky, and the cry was extremely miserable.
Zhu Yingtai, who saw all this, had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "What a ruthless thief, what does Dayan have to do with him, shoot him for no reason!" How can I bear it! ”
Xie Daoyun, who was playing with his younger brother on the side, had anger in his eyes, glared at Ma Wencai viciously, and hated this guy from the bottom of his heart.
When everyone heard the cry of the wild geese, they were all sighing. After all, the county lord of Xin'an is a woman, and she has already cried, but she pointed at Marven and shouted reluctantly: "Whoever asked you to shoot it, I want you to save it!" ”
It was obvious that you made the family shoot just now, and now you let the family save it, isn't this vexatious! No one dares to care about it, but she is the daughter of King Langyu, who dares to provoke her!
Just when everyone was at a loss, the wild goose reluctantly spread its wings and flew up, and everyone thought that it was finally leaving, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, it flew into the air, whined twice, suddenly tightened its wings, and fell headlong.
"Ah, it doesn't want to live anymore, it wants to die of martyrdom." Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"There is only one couple in the wild goose's life, and once he dies, the other is never the only one."
Looking at the rapidly falling figure of the wild goose, some people were crying, and some people covered their eyes.
Xie Daoyun's face was surprised and unbearable, he couldn't imagine that the wild goose was so infatuated and loyal. It's a pity that manpower can't do anything, and can only watch the tragedy happen.
Zhu Yingtai really couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he unconsciously buried his face in Shanbo's arms, covered his eyes with his hands, but kept asking, "How is it?" How's it going? Is it dead? ”
The tragedy of the wild goose's refusal to be an only child and her willingness to die for her partner also infected the county lord of Xin'an, and she was so anxious that she shouted: "Ma Wencai, Ma Wencai, save it!" ”
Seeing the wild geese fall like meteors, it was less than five feet high from the ground at this time, and the ground was full of jagged rocks, and if you touched it, you would die.
