At noon, Xuchang City Gate.

A carriage was stopped by the doorman, and the doorman was about to go over to check according to the rules, the curtains of the car window were opened, and a beautiful and cold face appeared in the window, and asked the doorman who was about to come forward calmly: "Does my car driver also need to be checked?" ”

The doorman was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped back and saluted: "The villain has seen Mrs. Cai!" ”

Cai Yan nodded and lowered the curtain casually, while the doorman hurriedly ordered the doormen to let them go. This was just a routine inspection at that time, and Lu Ren and his family were the privileged class at that time, so they didn't have to pay attention to these trivial things.

Soon Cai Yan's car was allowed to enter the city, but several newcomer doormen came up and asked the doorman: "Boss, there's nothing special about the car, why don't you check it?" ”

Menbo Qu pointed to knock on the door of each of these novices, and said, "Blind your dog's eyes!" The Mrs. Cai who appeared just now is Cai Zhaoji, our Lu servant's wife. Lu Servant shot the car driver in the mansion, what did he do? ”

A few novices were stunned, but some people immediately hesitated: "Lu Servant's official is so big, and I heard that the family is very rich, why is Madame's car so ordinary?" It is not an exaggeration to say that it is shabby. ”

"You know!" Uncle Menbo knocked on the past again: "Lu Servant is also from a poor family like us, and he is still frugal after becoming an official and having money. Not to mention the lady's car, it is Lu Servant's own car, and there is nothing beautiful except for being sturdy...... It's not like you've never seen it. ”

While talking here, Cai Yan's car stopped after passing the city gate hole, and then a woman jumped out of the carriage, but this woman was not Cai Yan, but the maid Zhang next to Cai Yan. However, strictly speaking, Zhang cannot be regarded as a maid, but should be regarded as Cai Yan's pen and ink assistant when sorting out documents. However, there was no such word at the time, and it would not be so fine for this type of women.

Look at Zhang again, and walked to the side of the doorman. asked: "My wife asked me to inquire, did Lu Servant shoot out of the city through the city gate here today?" ”

Menbo was stunned and responded, "No." However, when Lu Servant Shot came back from patrolling outside the city yesterday, he entered the city from this side of the city gate, and according to Lu Servant's habit, he should rest in the palace for the next three days. ”

"Thank you!" After Zhang thanked him, he presented a small money bag: "It's just a few small coins, buy some wine for the brothers." ”

The doorman quickly thanked him and took it again. There is nothing embarrassing or taboo about this, after all, according to the opinion at the time, this was a reward from the upper officials. Then again, Lu Ren often had to stop at the city gate stables when he returned to the city. Occasionally, I have to change horses, feed water and weeds, and sometimes ask the doorman to help do something, so it is also appropriate to give a little tip.

Zhang returned to the car, and the driver left. Menbo called a man and took money from Menbo to buy wine. A few newcomers didn't seem to have anything to do, so they grabbed the doorman and started gossiping: "This Mrs. Cai is so beautiful!" It's simply the best in the world, but I seem to have heard that Lu Servant doesn't like him? ”

Menbo had another brain breakdown: "Don't talk nonsense!" If this is heard by Lu Servant, believe it or not, Lu Servant will pick your skin? In fact, this is the case, the bewitching woman who followed Lu Servant some time ago. You've all seen it, right? ”

The novices nodded in unison.

"Do you know who that bewitching woman is?"

They all shook their heads in unison.

"You don't know? It's no wonder that you have only recently arrived in Xudu. Let me tell you, that bewitching woman is Minchan. ”

The newbies were in an uproar.

This uncle was also idle, and the fire of gossip began to burn: "Who is Minchan?" I won't say more. However, Diao Chan was originally Situ Wang Yun's righteous daughter, and Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang, Mrs. Cai's father, were killed by Wang Yun, and there was a father's enmity between Mrs. Cai and Diao Chan, so they did not agree with each other.

"So when Lu Servant returned to Xu Du from Meng Village. Mrs. Cai did not follow Lu Servant to go back to Xu Capital to live. However, some time ago, Minchan accidentally scratched her face, knowing that she had no face to stay by Lu Servant's side, so she was sent to Xuzhou by Lu Servant. It's not. As soon as Minchan left, Mrs. Cai came back to live with Lu Fujiao. ”

All the novices suddenly saw a lot of gossip that followed, and these gossips were nothing more than comments on beautiful women. In this regard, the gatekeeper who was responsible for collecting the poll tax at the city gate did not bother to say ...... This kind of thing is too common, anyway, the doorman on duty didn't leave his post, and the people who were resting on the side had nothing to do except chat and fart.

But said that after Cai Yan's car entered the city, he looked at Zhang's who had been watching out with the curtain of the car, and after thinking about it, he said to Zhang: "If you want to go to the market, go there, and go back to your house before dark." ”

"That lady, you ......"

Cai Yan shook his head: "The books from Meng Village were not sent to Xu Du so quickly, and you and I have nothing to do these days." On the contrary, you always stay in the study and rarely come out to walk around, and now it's time to walk around and take a break. ”

"That'...... Thank you ma'am. ”

Cai Yan nodded, took another bag of money and handed it to Zhang: "If you see something you like or want to eat, just buy it." Although we are frugal, we don't have to be too ourselves. Also, with this bamboo card, the people of Xu Duzhong will know that you are a person from the husband's mansion, and no one will dare to bully you. If you don't know the way, you can hold this sign and ask the patrol sergeant to take you back. ”

Zhang answered, took the money bag and the bamboo card and got out of the car. Cai Yan looked at Zhang from the car window, and smiled faintly on his face. Women generally want to have a companion by their side, especially when they don't have a husband by their side. When Wan'er was away from Lu Ren, she had a little Lu Lan by her side, but Cai Yan didn't. Later, Cai Yan took in Zhang, and Zhang's was basically equivalent to Xiao Lulan beside Cai Yan.

Not to mention that Cai Yan drove back to his home, but only that Zhang went shopping in the market in Xuchang. Liking shopping is almost a natural thing for women, and Zhang's is no exception.

However, under the planning and operation of Lu Ren, Xuchang's bazaar is indeed very remarkable. And although this Zhang family is knowledgeable and courteous, it can be seen that it is a typical lady, but he has never seen such a lively scene. So I walked around the east and west, bought snacks and gadgets from time to time, and was quite interested in shopping.

In addition, the people in the bazaar saw the bamboo sign hanging on Zhang's waist, and they were polite to Zhang. There really wasn't anyone who dared to come forward and provoke Zhang...... Lu Ren's current name is not a joke, if a ruffian or something like that dares to go over and provoke the girls in Lu Ren's mansion, he will wait to be beaten into a pig's head.

To tell the truth, once Lu Lan went out shopping, there was really an eyeless guy who wanted to take advantage of Lu Lan when he saw that Xiao Lu Lan was so smart, but after Lu Lan's scream, the guy who didn't open his eyes was almost killed by the people in the bazaar. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Xiao Lulan's beauty and cuteness. After all, generally speaking, no one wants to see a beautiful and cute little girl being bullied by a ruffian, and seeing a little girl in trouble. There will always be a lot of people willing to step up and help.

But that time the siege was cleared...... The person who took the lead in beating the guy who couldn't open his eyes was actually Cao Pi, who was only about fourteen years old now! Cao Pi also came out to hang out that day, and he happened to run into that incident. In addition, Cao Pi and Xiao Lulan are also acquaintances. Strictly speaking, several children in Cao Cao's mansion basically know Lu Lan, because Cai Yan will go to Cao Cao's mansion from time to time to teach Cao Cao's children poetry, lyrics, songs, and piano skills, and before Zhang's came, Cai Yan borrowed little Lu Lan from Wan'er to help, and it was strange that Cao Cao's children who came and went didn't know Lu Lan.

In a word. At that time, there was the support of Pi Gongzi, and the person who helped the boxer was even more unscrupulous, and beat the blind person who wanted to take advantage of Lu Lan to be born as a Buddha and two Buddhas. And after that, where would anyone dare to bully those girls who came out to run errands or hang out in Lu Ren's mansion? It's Lu Lan. The gossip in Xuchang City is rumored that Cao Pi has a crush on Lu Lan.

However, Cao Pi and Lu Lan are really about the same age, and Lu Lan is fifteen this year. Cao Pi XIV. And Cao Pi, this kid, never seems to mind the love between sisters and brothers, for example, in the original history, when Cao Pi snatched Zhen Mi. Cao Pi is only eighteen years old, but Zhen Mi is already twenty-three years old, about five years older than Cao Pi......

It was nothing more than saying that Zhang's shopping in the market was safe and happy. But as he walked around, Zhang turned a corner, and when he raised his eyes again, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows furrowed, and after taking a few steps back, he wanted to turn around and leave.

Zhang did this because he saw a few people, and the leader of these people was a scribe son about twenty years old, and Zhang obviously knew this scribe son, but he did not want to meet this scribe son, so he retreated and prepared to leave.

But just this effort, the scribe son also unexpectedly saw the Zhang family. was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, caught up with Zhang in a few steps, and reached forward and grabbed the corner of Zhang's sleeve. Zhang couldn't tear it apart, so he could only stop, and said to the scribe son: "Let go!" ”

The scribe was about to speak, but he noticed that many people had come up to him with unkind faces. As mentioned above, if you dare to do anything to the girls in Lu Ren's Mansion on this piece of land, you are basically waiting to be beaten. And after Zhang walked around the bazaar, people have long known that Zhang is a girl in the Lu Mansion. Now that I saw someone bullying Zhang, they were all ready to beat people one by one.

The scribe was also startled when he saw this posture, and hurriedly loosened the corners of Zhang's sleeves and bowed to the people who came up: "Don't misunderstand, everyone! This girl is an old man in the countryside, but she didn't expect to meet her unexpectedly in Xudu. In addition, Zai Xia had some misunderstandings with this girl at the beginning, and Zai Xia just wanted to clarify with her, so he had to forcibly hold her. ”

After speaking, the scribe son hurriedly looked at Zhang's family, and there was a plea for help in his eyes. Zhang's face was quite hateful, and his brows were even more wrinkled. But after looking at the people who came up, he knew that if he didn't explain, the scribe would definitely be crushed by the people who came up...... In the end, Zhang sighed and said to the people who came up:

"What he said is true, please don't misunderstand ......" (to be continued......
