Chapter Twenty-Six: The Crazy Woman of Gusu
It was past noon, in front of the city gate of Gusu Mansion, Ouyang Zhi hugged his fists at Dong Ce and said: "Brother Dong, if you don't have your generous help along the way, I, Ouyang Zhi, am afraid that I will be in the wilderness, I don't thank you, if there is still something important, I really want to talk to Brother Dong for a few more days!" ”
Dong Ce returned the salute and said: "Brother Ouyang is polite, you have to be more careful when you go to Jiaxing Mansion, don't be deceived again, if Brother Ouyang has the opportunity to go to Jinling Mansion, you might as well go to the Qinhuai Riverside Art Garden to find it." ”
"Ouyang remembered! Leave! Ouyang Zhi bowed heavily, then turned around and walked towards the post station.
After Dong Ce saw Ouyang Zhi enter the post station, he walked towards the city gate, and Liu Fu led the carriage to catch up with him for two steps, and said curiously: "Young boy, there is Ouyang Gongzi here all the way, the little one is not easy to ask, the little one has always wanted to know what you saved Ouyang Gongzi, and then gave him ten taels of entanglement, now we don't have much money, if we continue like this, we have to beg along the road to go back." ”
Dong Ce watched the cityscape of Gusu Mansion, and said with a light smile without looking back: "You can't see death and not save it, since you save it, but you can't give up a few taels of silver, it's better not to save it." ”
"Having said that, you gave half of the coil as soon as you gave it, and now we only have ten taels! Later, you have to go to Cao's house, why don't you bring some gifts, and you can't be light! Liu Fu said depressedly.
Working in a rich family, Liu Fu is very aware of the importance of courtesy, although people don't take these gifts seriously at all, but empty-handed will seem uneducated, which will be looked down upon by others, although their Dong family is in the middle of the road, but Liu Fu really doesn't want to be gossiped.
Dong Ce smiled slightly and said: "What kind of identity person to meet, what kind of etiquette to bring, this point is very particular, it is not necessarily valuable!" ”
"So you've got it in mind?" Liu Fu said curiously.
"Nonsense." Dong Ce said, turned around and walked towards a jade shop, and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have a good brocade box?" ”
Liu Fu was about to tie up the carriage to keep up with the young man, but when he heard this, he blushed so much that he quickly pretended not to see it, it was too embarrassing, he was a servant in a wealthy family, and he used to squander dozens of taels and hundreds of taels with the young man...... It's hard to get used to!
When Liu Fu was entangled, suddenly the carriage behind him shook violently, which scared Liu Fu a spirit, and when he was about to turn his head to look, his shoulder was suddenly patted, and when he turned around, he saw that the young man was not angry and said: "Why are you stunned, let's go." ”
"Ah...... Oh! Liu Fu paused, and then didn't bother to pay attention to why the carriage was shaking, and tightened the reins of the horse to catch up with the young son.
But before the two of them could get out of the way, suddenly, a group of sturdy men in uniform white shirts surrounded them.
Dong Ce frowned and looked coldly at this group of big men.
"What's the situation?" Liu Fu was panicked, shrank behind Dong Ce and pulled his sleeve and said, "Young boy, what's wrong?" They're not going to rob us, are they? ”
"In broad daylight, forgive them and don't dare." Dong Ce snorted coldly.
"But the riot in Huating Mansion seems to be in the daytime!" Liu Fu whispered.
Dong Ce couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, he really couldn't refute it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the matter with my master and servant?" Although Dong Ce said this, he didn't look at them, but glanced at those passers-by very strangely, and saw that they were all strange, and he didn't even have the mood to watch, let alone flee in panic, which couldn't help but make him very puzzled.
"Leave the man in your car!" A man said in a deep voice.
"The man in the car?" Dong Ce was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Liu Fu, while Liu Fu looked at the young man even more puzzled, the master and servant looked at each other for a moment, and then walked to the carriage almost at the same time, lifted the curtain and glanced at it.
"Woo, young boy, what's it, it stinks." Liu Fu pinched his nose and said.
Dong Ce stretched out his hand and fanned the tip of his nose, looked in with a frown, and his face turned black in an instant.
After a few big strides from the front of the car to the back of the car, Dong Ce lifted the curtain, and after a while he got into the carriage, he withdrew with a woman in a goose yellow dress, turned around and threw the woman to the side of the street, and then looked back at the puddle of disgusting vomit on the baggage in the car, which was slowly flowing onto the carriage, and the pungent smell made Dong Ce want to die.
"Oops, it hurts, who's it?" A drunken coquettish voice came from behind Dong Ce.
Dong Ce turned around in annoyance, and saw the woman who was thrown out by him squinting her eyes, rubbing her buttocks, and staggering to her feet, muttering inarticulately: "Who, who fell me?" Here, get the hell out of here...... You, aren't you? Come over to me, call your mother, call out, uh...... I, I'm going to ask your mother, how did you teach you? Do you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? It's really uneducated......"
"Cao Niangzi, are you okay?" A group of big men suddenly surrounded this woman and asked with concern.
The woman didn't open her eyes, her hands pushed wildly, pushed away all the old men around her, and staggered directly at Dong Ce.
"Where's the crazy woman?" Dong Ce dodged to the side to avoid the drunken woman, spit on the side of the road angrily, and said, "Ah Fu, let's go." ”
"Ah...... Ah yes, young boy. "Liu Fu has wanted to slip away for a long time, and now he has to dare to wait, pull the reins of the horse and prepare to run.
"Give...... Give me...... Stop, that...... That, that evil ...... Evil Eyed Guy, you ...... You give me ...... I ......" The woman's voice was still shouting behind, how could Dong Ce take care of such a crazy woman, and strode without looking back.
However, he wants to calm down, but he has to be agreed, although none of the big men in the group did not make a move, but this crazy woman suddenly rushed out a few steps, a flutter, and hung directly on Dong Ce's back.
"it!" Dong Ce was suddenly attacked, and he smelled a pungent wine commotion, and the anger burned directly to the heavenly spirit cover.
But before Dong Ce could fall off this woman, he only felt that his face was hot, and a hot and smooth skin was rubbed on his cheek a few times, and then a thick smell of wine went straight to the tip of his nose, making Dong Ce a little drunk!
"Ahh Suddenly, Dong Ce exclaimed, and with a lightning shot, he grabbed the mouth of the crazy woman who bit his ear, and the strength of his hand suddenly increased, making the woman whine and forced to let go.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Ce grabbed the shoulder of the crazy woman with his other hand and threw her whole person directly forward.
"Poof!" Flying dust together, Cao Luorong was lying on the ground, the fine dust was so conspicuous in the sun, her mouth was bloody, her jade face was full of shock, a pair of Danfeng eyes were round, looking at Dong Ce's angular face blankly, it seemed that it felt like a long time had passed, and suddenly rolled her eyes, and she fainted.
"Cao Niangzi!" The group of big men didn't wake up until this moment, and rushed towards Dong Ce and Cao Luorong with shouting.
"What? What else do you want to do? Dong Ce showed his fierce face for the first time, looking directly at the group of big men surrounding him.
"What are you doing, look at what you've done, you threw Cao Niangzi and vomited blood!" A man pointed to Cao Luorong, who had fainted.
"it!" Dong Ce sneered, pointed to his bleeding earlobes and said coldly: "Then the damn is my blood, look at what it has become!" What's the matter, you still want to come hard, okay, who will go first, or together? ”
After Dong Ce finished speaking, his arm shook, and a slender seal carving knife like a pen was grabbed in his hand, and his eyes stared coldly at this group of men.
"Don't panic!" A man said, lowered his voice and said to the rest of the men: "The princess has an order, we can only do it to those who are trying to mistreat Cao Niangzi, too many people are watching this matter, if you attack this guy, it will damage the reputation of King Xian, forget it!" ”
"You're in luck!" The man who first accosted Dong Ce snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to Dong Ce anymore. However, he didn't expect Dong Ce to be even more annoyed when he heard this, and sneered: "What do you mean by counting me, okay, then I'll shout now, you palace guards are indiscriminate, bullying us ordinary people on the street!" ”
"You!" This big man didn't expect Dong Ce to threaten them in turn.
"What do you want?" The man who was quite calm looked at Dong Ce and said.
"The dog was released by you, and now it bites someone, so you should all be responsible!" Dong Ce said coldly.
As soon as they heard this, all the men were beating wildly on their foreheads, but before they could attack, the calm man nodded and said, "No problem, there are ten taels here, it's enough." As he spoke, he threw a piece of silver to Dong Ce.
Dong Ce stretched out his hand to catch it, threw it to Liu Fu, and said, "Let's go." ”
If you see it, you will accept it, Dong Ce doesn't want to be too entangled, so that everyone can't get off the stage, then the other party is really hard, even if he doesn't die, he will have to shed his skin, there is no need for that.
A quarter of an hour later, in a pharmacy in the north city of Gusu Mansion, Liu Fu looked at the young boy who was being bandaged by the doctor with an uncomfortable face, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, young boy, why are we so unlucky this year?" First the lord was imprisoned, and then the merchant ship was hijacked, and now you just came to Gusu Mansion for a walk, and as a result, you were bitten, I think if we can go back alive, we still don't come out, okay? ”
Liu Fu's heart couldn't calm down until this moment, especially when he heard that those people were from the prince's mansion, he was almost scared.
"Indeed, there have been enough unlucky ones this year." Dong Ce used to be an atheist, so he naturally didn't believe in fate, even in this world, he was only half-convinced, and now, he can't help but believe in evil, he is so dignified, he can be bitten by someone when he walks on the street, I'm afraid no one will believe this Nima.
Dong Ce leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said: "Find an inn to rest for a day, my back is smelly now, I can't wash it if I don't wash it, you will wash the carriage later, and by the way, I will also wash the clothes in the baggage, I don't have the strength to visit the Cao family today." ”
"Hey." Liu Fu answered, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Young boy, I heard that group of men call that crazy woman just now, what is Cao Niangzi, do you think it should be ......?" Speaking of this, Liu Fu shut up very interestingly, and stared at the young man in a daze.
As soon as Dong Ce heard the crazy woman, his mind suddenly jumped, and he said angrily: "There are at least one hundred and eighty families surnamed Cao in Gusu Mansion, and the Cao family we went to is not a scholar family, how can it have anything to do with the palace, even if it is, anyway, Lao Tzu is here to withdraw from the marriage, why be afraid?" Whoever wants to marry this kind of woman is simply a blood mold that has been poured for eight lifetimes, and the bones of the ancestors have been repaired. ”
"That's too." After Liu Fu heard this, he felt a lot more relieved when he thought about it carefully, yes or no, it really has nothing to do with them, he Liu Fu still doesn't believe it, our Dong family has become like this, is your Cao family still willing to marry their daughter? I'm afraid I wish we had divorced!
