Chapter 12: The Burning Lantern Festival (2)
The princess feels busy and tired this month, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired. The Shu Wangfu in a broad sense includes the feudal prince's mansion and the county prince's mansion concentrated in the CD mansion, and is a huge organization of nearly 10,000 people inside and outside. According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, the palace will stage various traditional New Year's programs during the Lantern Festival every year, such as the morning ceremony on the day of the New Year's Day, the ancestral sacrifice and so on. Although the prince's Qushui Liuyu Poetry and Painting Art Competition is not a traditional program, this program is also very important because of the prince's own preferences. All these things need to be asked by her, and she needs to approve the money. Coupled with the fact that she couldn't sleep at night, she felt more and more tired in recent days. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve today, she was rarely busy, and heard Cao Yicheng say that the Huangcheng Dam was setting off fireworks, so she ordered to set up a lantern. Cao Yicheng knew that the princess had been a little dizzy recently, and he hated the palace lamps dangling in front of him the most, so he ordered a table and two chairs to be simply placed by the window on the second floor of the Duanli Gate Tower. After the princess and her party went up the city ladder, Cao Yicheng ordered the palace lamp to be removed and let the princess sit quietly upstairs for a while. arranged these things, Cao Yicheng asked the little eunuch to rush to the prince's mansion to deliver a letter, telling the princess to enjoy the lanterns in the Duanli Gate Tower, which means that the prince will come to accompany your mother if he has nothing to do, and do his filial piety.
Zhu Pingjin drank a little numb at noon, and slept soundly in the afternoon, until this little eunuch came to report that he woke up, and his head was still dizzy. So Zhu Pingjin quickly rinsed his mouth, changed into clean clothes, removed the smell of alcohol on his body, and only took Cao Sanbao and a few eunuchs and guards to Duanli Gate.
Luo Yuhong used her killing move, Nine Yin White Bone Claw, the moment she was sexually harassed, accurately leaving traces on the perverted face behind her. Luo Yuhong then turned around and saw a short and fat street ruffian covering his left face and howling loudly, and seven or eight small street ruffians surrounded him at a loss. Humpty Dumpty Street Ruffian glanced through his fingers, as if there were few people around the little girl, so he pointed his sword at him and shouted, "Hit Lao Tzu!" So a few small street ruffians rolled up their sleeves and surrounded them, trapping Luo Yuhong and the three people in the core.
Looking at this posture, Luo Yuhong said in his heart that something was going to happen today, so he had to quickly find a way to get out. I had the intention of asking Xiaohong to enter the palace to report the news, and I was worried that during the time when Xiaohong walked away, what would happen if these hooligans really came over. She was hesitating, only to see the little kid next to her throw down something, stand up in front of her, and yell: "Who dares to move my sister, step on the master first!" ”
A few small street ruffians laughed together when they saw a half-sized boy standing up to protect their relatives, and they laughed together. The puppy street ruffian also came over with a smile, and slapped his palm in the kid's face after two feet, "Get out, big fart, kid." Lao Tzu is not interested in you, go back to report to your father, slow down, be careful Lao Tzu beats you! As for your sister, stay here and play with your eldest brother......"
Before Humpty Dumpty's words fell, the half-sized man in front of him suddenly launched, and a most direct stride punch hit the face of Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty Street ruffian was caught off guard, and his eyes were hit with a heavy punch, and he suddenly felt that Venus was flashing, his eyes burst, and he couldn't help but retreat again and again, and he stumbled to the ground. Seeing that the boss was attacked by the kid, a small street ruffian hurriedly ran over to help the boss up, and the fists and feet of the other street ruffians all beckoned to the boy.
Luo Yuhong's heart was suddenly anxious, but she heard Xiaohong shouting behind her: "Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to bully our young master?" Don't you want to die? ”
The enthusiasm of Chinese people to watch the excitement has never faded from ancient times to the present. Hearing that someone was fighting, a circle of people immediately stretched their necks and surrounded them, which was more lively than the fireworks stand just now.
Street ruffians will not be deterred by a little girl who looks like a maid, otherwise they will not be mixed in the streets of this CD Mansion in the future. The Humpty Dumpty street ruffian had already been helped to his feet, and when he heard this, he just grinned and squinted his eyes and shouted: "Whose subordinate is so dragged?" He patted his chest, turned around and shouted to the crowd of onlookers, "Do you know who you are?" Yes, that's right! Lao Tzu is the imperial city tyrant on this imperial city dam! We don't have other skills, we have the same, dare to fight! Humpty Dumpty Street ruffian gave a thumbs up to himself and spoke to the onlookers one by one: "In this Imperial City Dam, who does my father dare not fight?" Not to mention that it is mixed on the street, it is the errand in the yamen, the guards in the palace, Lao Tzu is correct! A few years ago, under the roots of the imperial city here, Lao Tzu went down with a stick, a palace guard, ah! Humpty Dumpty Street Ruffian pointed at his head with one hand, and smashed it down with the other hand as if he had pinched a big stick, "Just hit it here!" Did you see that? Just hit it here! The guards of the palace screamed miserably, and immediately blood flowed all over his face, his brains splashed everywhere, and he immediately kicked his legs and couldn't survive! ”
"Wow!" The crowd of onlookers exclaimed when they heard this.
Seeing the audience's good response, Humpty Dumpty Street Ruffian was so excited that his saliva splashed: "Killing a small palace guard, of course, can't show Lao Tzu's ability!" Lao Tzu wants to fight Liu Fatzi, the guard commander of the palace! That Liu Fat Man collected money and received Lao Tzu's territory, and Lao Tzu was going to kill him! At that time, Lao Tzu stared at the fat man Liu and kept chasing him. Lao Tzu caught up with it, it's a stick! ”
There was a person in the circle who was anxious to hear it and shouted: "Did you kill you?" ”
Humpty Dumpty Street ruffian stomped his feet and said, "Lao Tzu was in a hurry at the time, so he shot early." This stick hit the fat man on the back, but didn't hit the skull. Everyone knows that the meat on the fat man Liu is so thick, and it is all fat. Lao Tzu went down with a stick, and Liu Fatzi screamed and ran. When Lao Tzu was about to hit the second bat, the fat man Liu had already run into the palace. Lao Tzu was afraid of arrows on the city tower, so he had to retreat. ”
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Cheap that fat man!" ”
Others shouted: Hero! Hero! Heroes!
Seeing that the reaction of the people was so good, the Humpty Dumpty Street Ruffian laughed a few times, waved to the crowd of onlookers, and raised half of his face to approach the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone take a look." That little girl's skin is still very crooked, Lao Tzu doesn't mess with her, she dares to provoke us first. What do you say? ”
Xiaohong's eyes were already red with anger, and she retorted loudly: "Obviously, this hooligan bullied my young lady first!" ”
"Mingming?" What is the "Mingming" method? It is clear that it is a strong argument with poor reasoning. Seeing that the three of them were about to fall to the downside, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a tall and handsome scholar stood out. The scholar, dressed in a moon-white robe, first bowed to Luo Yuhong and Xiaohong, and then looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Xiaosheng reads the sages every day, understands the principles of heaven, and receives the teachings of the saints. Chinese New Year's Eve is a night of joy for everyone, a day of family reunion, and it is not a time for life. Xiaosheng is not talented, how about judging justice for the two of you? ”
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Su Xiucai has never judged things fairly, and everyone can trust them!" ”
Luo Yuhong looked at this Xiucai who took the initiative to stand up and uphold justice, and felt that he was elegant and handsome in appearance, and he could speak elegantly and decently, especially with a pair of clear and soft eyes, and he suddenly had a very close feeling in his heart, so he blessed and said: "Thank you, Mr. for presiding over justice!" But with what Mr. said, this girl believed him. ”
The Humpty Dumpty street ruffian over there also spoke: "Su Xiucai, my grandfather can be trusted!" ”
Then Su Xiucai got the words from both sides, and bowed to Luo Yuhong again, and then spoke: "Xiao Sheng dares to ask the little lady, has this man ever bullied you?" ”
This show was clearly in words, and Luo Yuhong hurriedly replied: "Exactly!" Just when the fireworks stand was over and everyone was gone, the street ruffian actually ......" So, Luo Yuhong explained in detail what happened just now.
After Luo Yuhong finished speaking, Su Xiucai was noncommittal, just smiled slightly, and said: "Xiao Sheng asked the little lady again, the injury on this man's face, but the little lady's hand?" ”
Luo Yuhong nodded and replied, "Not bad." Since that street ruffian came to bully me first, I can't let him bully me for nothing! ”
Then Su Xiucai asked again: "The little lady said that the man bullied you, but what conclusive evidence did you have?" It's all neighbors, who has ever seen it with their own eyes? ”
The crowd shook their heads, saying they didn't see it, and even half of the children shook their heads secretly. Could it be that the scholars are also street ruffians? Luo Yuhong felt bad in her heart.
Then Su Xiucai straightened her waist and said to Luo Yuhong with a righteous face: "This is the little lady, you are wrong!" You say that this hero is inferior to you, but you claim to have your back on the hero, and you clearly did not see it with your own eyes. Excuse me, how do you know if it's a hero? Isn't that a contradiction? You say that this good man is inferior to you, but no one in your companions, the surrounding neighbors, claims to have seen it, how do you know that it was a good man? Even if there are really people who are inferior to you, there are people coming and going on this imperial city dam, and how do you know that it is not done by other disciples? In a hurry, you reflexively shot and injured people, scratching the face of the hero. Although there are extenuating circumstances, but as the saying goes, 'people live face, tree live skin', you scratched people's skin alive, and this Chinese New Year's Eve scolded people in front of so many people, so how will people walk on the street in the future? All the neighbors come to talk about it, isn't this the reason? ”
That's it! The voice of the masses of the people shook the heavens and the earth.
Luo Yuhong has completely understood, Xiaohong has also understood, only half of the eldest child is still shouting stupidly: "Obviously that hooligan bullied my sister first!" ”
Luo Yuhong said coldly to the handsome and dashing scholar: "What do you mean?" ”
Then Su Xiucai approached with concern and said, "Little lady, you can't take care of this matter, even if the lawsuit goes to the yamen, you will lose." In the middle of the night, you are weak and weak, so you might as well take some money and send it away, and hurry home so that your innocence will not be tarnished. ”
Luo Yuhong said: "Sir, go and ask, how much money can be avoided from disasters?" ”
After getting the letter, Su Xiucai hurriedly walked to the Humpty Dumpty Street ruffian, and the two muttered, and Su Xiucai came over and replied: "That good man has to ask for three hundred taels, Xiaosheng persuaded him for a long time, and then he was cut into one hundred taels, and it can't be less." ”
Luo Yuhong had the heart to give money, and estimated that it was impossible for Xiaohong to carry so much money with her, and was thinking about how to answer, Xiaohong next to her came out and spoke first: "Phew! Are you stupid for us? Who can't tell that you are in the gang of hooligans? If you have the ability, just go straight to the door and grab it! ”
was scolded as a dog, then Su Xiucai suddenly stopped and said, "You little girl, do you know what book Ben Xiucai reads?" It's a book of sages! scolding Ben Xiucai is scolding Confucius and Mencius! Do you know who gave Ben Xiucai's fame? It's a dignified provincial government to learn the Tao! scolding Ben Xiucai is scolding the court! While speaking, Su Xiucai glanced at several people squeezing into the circle, two of whom were still wearing public soap clothes, and immediately made up his mind: "You little girl, you dare to insult me Xiucai on the street." According to the laws of my Ming court, you are going to have a lawsuit! As he spoke, he stretched out his arm to pull Xiaohong.
Unexpectedly, this Xiaohong was not very old, but she was not frightened by the lawsuit at all, but laughed out loud: "A big fart showman, what he said seems to be big!" Do you know who our young lady is, tell you to scare you to death immediately! Our young lady is the sweetheart of the prince of the palace, and when she passes the door in a few days, she will be the princess of our Shu land! ”
Suddenly hearing Xiaohong reveal her identity, Luo Yuhong had no time to stop it. She thought to herself, this is a big problem.
