Chapter 49: POV: Meet in the Alley
Zhou Jun did a big thing, but he felt complacent, and followed Su He out of the mansion, in the end, he was a young man, and asked Su Dao proudly: "Brother Su, do you think I can talk well today?" ”
"Okay, yes!" Su Hele praised loudly: "Sure enough, it's Brother Liu's apprentice, I'm not as good as it!" ”
"Big brother praise, praise falsely!" Zhou Jun excused himself a few words, and then asked: "I listened to the master's intention to take Mao Yilu's old thief to knife, but the old thief is Wei Zhongxian's lackey and the governor of Yingtian, how should we fight him?" ”
Although Zhou Jun didn't particularly understand the official position of the Ming Dynasty, he still knew about a high-ranking official like the Governor of Yingtian. Although he followed his master all the way through the mountains and mountains, and the bridges were stacked when encountering water, he was extremely majestic, but he was all in the poor countryside, and he dealt with some low-level bureaucrats.www.biquge.info And this Ying Tian Governor should be the most powerful person in the entire Ming Empire's Southern Zhili Region, but it is not so easy to deal with. The governor, "patrolling the world, raising the army and the people", it can be seen that he is a feudal official who grasps the military and political power, and he has soldiers in his hands. Although Nanzhili wants to mobilize troops on a large scale and cannot bypass the internal and external garrisons and garrison eunuchs in Nanjing, there is a thousand households in Suzhou, and it is not too difficult to mobilize hundreds of soldiers to disperse the scholars.
Although Zhou Jun knew that the governor would not dare to make a black hand against these two thousand soldiers, he was still a little worried.
"Oh, don't worry, Brother Liu is the Wenqu star who came into the world, it is expected that there will be a success, and there will be success, where is a Ying Tian Governor can compare?" Su He seems to be carried away by the achievements along the way, indeed, along the way, many local officials who used to be high-minded and high-spirited have to treat this large group of scholars with courtesy, for fear of being humiliated by the angry scholars, which makes the students feel both fresh and excited. But the current opponent is, after all, a court official, a prince, can they achieve the final victory?
Zhou Jun was a little worried.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Where is that master right now?" I was busy assigning tasks to others, and I followed my eldest brother to the mansion to persuade Shi Zhifu, but I didn't know where the master went. ”
"Your master got the hundreds of catties of saltpeter you bought yesterday, and now he has rented a dyeing workshop in Xujiafang, Nancheng, and brought a few guys, and he is doing some invention." After Su He said this, he yawned tiredly: "Your master let out the words, Wei Zhongxian will inevitably be defeated before the end of October in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and if the old thief does not die, he will personally go to the capital to fight to the death with the old thief, either the old thief will die, or he will follow the example of the six gentlemen of Donglin and die in the Beijing Division, this is said ruthlessly and decisively, and it is estimated that the entire Suzhou Mansion will soon spread." At present, the court will not distinguish the winner or loser for a day, and Mao Yilu will not dare to take the initiative to provoke us for a day. If it's okay tonight, come along. Su He smiled: "It is said that this sister loves pretty, bustard loves money, brother dragon and phoenix, pink face and red lips, it is the favorite of this sister!" ”
Zhou Jun's face immediately turned red when he heard this, even though he had been a young singer and mingled with prostitutes, he was a chick in terms of men and women, but he just excused himself and said: "This is not good, I should go to the dyeing workshop to see what the master commands." After saying this, he mounted his white horse, and regardless of whether he could gallop or not, he beat the horse and left.
Liu Xu is very generous to Zhou Jun, not to mention that this young white horse is unusual, and the harness equipped is also of the highest quality. The saddle is decorated with silver and hung with tassels of red silk, and the mattress is decorated with white satin, which is filled with high-quality Songjiang cotton, and the stirrups of white copper sparkle in the sunlight, making Zhou Jun's whole person seem to have walked out of the light. Zhou Jun gently waved the ivory horsewhip, which was made of pure white leather, which was light and powerful, and it was wielded vigorously, and it also carried a tassel made of white horsemane, which Zhou Jun couldn't put down.
This is the first time Zhou Jun let the white horse run, and the white horse seems to have a mind to show off, screamed, and ran in small steps, getting faster and faster. Zhou Jun thought that the white horse would be very bumpy when running at full speed, but he didn't think that the white horse walked very smoothly, as if it was sliding on the ice, Zhou Jun only heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and the white horse had already run out more than ten feet. At this moment, they have walked out of Fuqian Street, and in front of them is the downtown area, full of small merchants and vendors who set up stalls to sell fruits, and the voices of the people are noisy and full of voices. Zhou Jun intended to let the white horse slow down, but the white horse didn't listen to him, just blindly accelerated and ran, seeing that there was a stall selling fresh fish in front of him, the stall owner was wearing a green cloth shirt and was bargaining with the guests, spitting and spitting, pointing fingers, looking like a big loss, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw a white galloping horse galloping quickly, the speed was like lightning, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ahh ”
"Not good, not good!" Zhou Jun saw that he was about to hit someone, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and even forgot the reins of the horse. He closed his eyes, ready for the expected collision, but felt as if he was flying through the clouds, and quickly opened his eyes to check, only to find that the white horse had jumped up and jumped over the stall.
"Good white horse, good white horse!" Zhou Jun heard the onlookers next to him shouting loudly, and some of them shouted: "White horse Jun, Xiao Langjun riding a white horse is even more handsome!" ”
Zhou Jun knew that this jump was completely Bai Ma's own doing, how could he have anything to do, his face was feverish, he just wanted to leave here quickly, and he was about to leave from an alley as soon as he clamped the horse's belly.
He was turning around, but he heard an exclamation of "oops" from the alley, Zhou Jun immediately pulled the reins, only to hear the neighing of the white horse, the front hooves were raised high, and he almost stepped on a young man in Tsing Yi who fell to the ground.
Zhou Jun hurriedly dismounted, he fixed his eyes and saw that this little guy was twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a green cloth and a small round hat on his head, a pair of small blue leather boots on his feet, and a soap-colored silk ribbon tied around his waist, like a Lang Zhong who went out for treatment, but her appearance was quite good, a pair of eyes, like water and the moon, Gu Pan seemed to have no heart, her complexion was snow-white, obviously she had never been exposed to much sun, she had been pampered since she was a child, her pair of ears were hidden behind a black hair and could not be seen, but the whole face was delicate and lovely, is not much better than the famous prostitutes in Qinglou that Zhou Jun has seen. Zhou Jun couldn't help but smile and said: "Look at you dressed as a langzhong, but you look even more attractive than the rabbit master, I think you are a runaway lady!" ”
"You man!" The girl didn't seem to expect that her disguise would be seen through, and she couldn't help but be shocked and angry: "You went into trouble first, and almost hurt me without saying anything, and then you made a slander and slandered me as a woman, which is really not a son of man!" ”
She spoke very well, which reminded Zhou Jun of the sound of pearls falling on the white jade plate, one, two, the sound of the collision of pearls and jade was both noble and beautiful, and people were reluctant to stop when they heard it. Zhou Jun stretched out his hand and wanted to pull the girl up: "Just kidding with you, I'll pull you up!" ”
"Who wants you to pull!" The girl looked at Zhou Jun's outstretched hand, which was as white as jade and upright and beautiful, like a white jade statue of a Bodhisattva, a touch of fire burned the clouds on her face, she glared at Zhou Jun fiercely, got up by herself, and reached out to pat the dust on her clothes, obviously a person who loves cleanliness very much.
"Little sister, you say that you are not a woman, but you don't dare to have physical contact with me, isn't this self-deception?" Although Zhou Jun threw away his armor in front of a veteran like Su He, he still had no trouble dealing with a girl.
"Who's afraid?" This girl's personality looks very stubborn, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately stretched out her hand, grabbed Zhou Jun's hand fiercely, and clenched it hard. She seemed to be working hard, and her face was a little red, but her strength was really not great, and Zhou Jun had practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she didn't feel anything at all.
But Zhou Jun deliberately made a painful look: "The heroine has so much strength, the heroine spares her life!" His expression was exaggerated, his eyes were round, and his mouth was crooked, as if he was in pain.
"You know, I'm afraid!" The girl seemed to be very kind-hearted, and opened her hand easily, only to realize that something was wrong, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Why do you still call me a heroine?" ”
Zhou Jun also rubbed his wrist, which was a little red, and said proudly: "Normal men have an Adam's apple, and your throat is flat, how can you say that you are a man?" ”
"I was born with a small Adam's apple, some of them are, but I can't see it, and I see that your Adam's apple is not big, how can you say about me?"
"There are holes in your earlobes, obviously ear piercings left by earrings, although Jiangnan Shi likes women's clothes, but it seems that he doesn't wear earrings!"
"Oops, not good!" The girl hurriedly touched her ears with her hands, but found that the ears were blocked by her long hair, how could Zhou Jun see it? She said angrily, "You are a deceitful man! ”
"It is not a matter of deception, it is just to expose the truth. It's you-" Zhou Jun put on a fierce expression: "Aren't you everyone's fugitive slave?" I can't say that I want to go with me to see the official, and I can still get some reward! When she said this, Zhou Jun had been observing the girl's expression attentively, her mood was very complicated, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted the girl to be a fugitive slave or not. If it is, he can directly snatch her, anyway, Jiangnan is so big that he can't find himself, if not, it means that this girl has a noble status, and it will be very difficult to get close to her.
The girl didn't show any fear of seeing the official: "Seeing the official? When you see an official, you will see an official, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will suffer a big loss, and you will have to complain to me! ”
is not afraid of seeing officials, which means that this girl often sees officials, and ordinary people avoid officials, where do they dare to see officials? Only the children of the official eunuchs or the families of the honorable relatives often see the officials, and know that these old men are actually no different from ordinary people, so they will not be afraid of seeing officials. This shows that the girl in front of her is noble, and she can't be bluffed with empty words and white teeth.
"Oh, I want to take you to see the official, but it's a pity that the prefect of your Suzhou Mansion was intimidated by me and didn't dare to go out, and you can't see him when you go to see him!" Zhou Jun didn't know why, he bragged about his most proud experience today, maybe men are so eager to show themselves in front of women.
Where is the girl willing to believe it, she pouted, and her pink lips were like the most delicate flowers: "You are full of lies, Master Shi is a big official from the fourth grade, how can you be frightened by you, a yellow-mouthed child?" If you change the Songjiang genius and Wenqu Xing, Liu Xu and Liu Gongzi are almost the same! ”
She said these words from the very beginning, and she also knew the rank of the court officials, showing a good family education. And when she talked about Liu Xu, her eyes were full of yearning, which made Zhou Jun feel a little uncomfortable. However, he immediately reacted, the master was so kind to him, how could he be dissatisfied with the master? And this little girl's admiration is the most unreliable, there is still today, it may be gone tomorrow, why should he eat this flying vinegar?
Thinking so, he said proudly: "To tell you the truth, I am Zhou Jun, the first apprentice of Liu Gongzi, and I handle the daily life and confidential documents of the master along the way!" ”
"You?" The girl squinted at him, then looked at his horse, and looked suspiciously: "Although I don't know you, I guess you are a rich and noble son from another place, it may be true that your family is rich and powerful, but how can it be the first apprentice of Liu Gongzi!" ”
Zhou Jun has a feeling of being challenged, he has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and there are not a few provocations he has encountered, and he has never been really angry, but he feels difficult to control his temper in front of the girl in front of him. He stretched out his hand and provoked the girl: "Since you are so powerful, and you don't believe me, then I have to go to Shizun now, do you dare to ride a white horse with me?" ”
He didn't expect that the girl in front of him was obviously a child of an official eunuch's family, how could she destroy the defense of etiquette and religion and ride with him?
"Hmph, just ride, if you can't see Liu Gongzi, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" As soon as the girl stepped on the stirrups, her thin body flew onto the horse's back. Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, then showed a bright smile like the sunshine in June, and also straddled the saddle and got on the horse.
The sound of the white horse's hooves gradually faded away, and the silver bells on the saddle sheath rang and played a beautiful song.
