CHAPTER XIV

Guest Seal Month

Bidding farewell to Hou Lei, Li Jinzhong and Wei Tieshan traveled lightly and hurried towards Shuntianfu. For two consecutive days, passing through Gaoyang County, Rongcheng County came to Dingxing County in the evening of the second day. At this moment, the sun is setting, shining on the large wheat fields, and the breeze brings up the waves of wheat, constituting a beautiful pastoral scenery. Li Jinzhong and Wei Tieshan rode their horses and walked slowly on the field path, admiring the beautiful and picturesque pastoral scenery, and the fatigue of the two-day journey was suddenly reduced a lot. At this time, on the field in front of them, several peasant girls were sitting and talking with their bare pink feet, revealing their white calves, and from time to time let out a burst of laughter like silver bells. Li Jinzhong turned over and dismounted, walked up and coughed lightly. The girls turned their heads, and Li Jinzhong bowed politely and said: "Boy Li Jinzhong, he is from Suning County, and I want to ask if I am passing by here, how far is it from here to Dingxing County." At this time, a slightly dark-skinned girl replied: "Oh, two miles ahead, it is the county seat of Dingxing." Li Jinzhong said: "Thank you girl, I don't know if the girl knows that there is a Hou family in the county." He has a son who has been replaced by Hou Bal" As soon as he heard this, all the girls laughed at the same time, and the girl smiled: "People really can't say it, as soon as they say it, someone will come to find it" and then said to Li Jinzhong: "This guest can be regarded as the right person, then Hou Er is the fiancé of one of our sisters" After that, there was a burst of laughter, and all the girls looked at the girl sitting at the end at the same time, and Li Jinzhong also looked over at the moment. How do you know this hope, and it planted the seeds of Li Jinzhong's most sad feelings in his life.

When Li Jinzhong looked at this girl, the whole world seemed to freeze instantly. The feelings between people are delicate and complex, no matter what the other person looks like, what kind of body shape they are, the first time they see it, they will imprint a trace in their consciousness, and the depth and shallowness of the trace, whether they are real or false, will determine the role that this person will play in your future life. And at this moment, this girl was not imprinted in Li Jinzhong's heart, but it pierced his heart like lightning and made him lose himself. This girl has delicate facial features, a delicate face, skin better than snow, long black hair hanging down like flowing clouds, and her cheeks are blushing by the laughter of the women, making her charming and moving.

Li Jinzhong's demented expression made the girl even red at the base of her neck, and I don't know which girl smiled and said, "Yo, this guest, saliva is flowing out." The women immediately burst into laughter again. But Li Jinzhong didn't seem to hear anything, and at this time, Wei Tieshan, who was beside Li Jinzhong, moved his hand and pulled Li Jinzhong's clothes and whispered: "You're not a fucking shame, I've never seen a beautiful woman!" Li Jinzhong suddenly came back to his senses, realized his gaffe, smiled at the girl embarrassedly, and then was about to say something, Wei Tieshan grabbed in front of him and hugged his fists and said loudly: "Girl, this kid forgot to take medicine when he went out, and now he is sick, don't pay attention to him, how does this Hou family go" The girls heard Wei Tieshan speak, and suddenly got together, chattering didn't know what to say, and then the dark-skinned girl said: "You ask him, that's his future in-law's family, very familiar." After that, all the women dispersed in a hurry, leaving behind Li Jinzhong with a confused face, a girl with a bewildered face, and Wei Tieshan with a black line.

At this time, Li Jinzhong had already recovered a little, stepped forward and arched his hand, and then said tremblingly: "Girl, I think" Wei Tieshan covered his face helplessly. Without waiting for Li Jinzhong to stammer, he bumped into him and said, "Girl, can you please take us to Xiahou's house?" We are friends with the second brother, bring him something and give him a few words by the way. When the girl heard this, she raised her head and lowered her head, and said, "Okay, please come with me." So Wei Tieshan dragged the depressed Li Jinzhong to follow the girl towards Dingxing County. Along the way, Li Jinzhong looked at the girl's back stupidly, and the girl seemed to feel the hot gaze behind her, so she didn't dare to turn back and walked with her head bored. Wei Tieshan felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so he spoke: "By the way, girl, please lead the way, I don't know the girl's name." The girl didn't look back and said, "The little girl's surname is Ke, and her nickname is Yinyue." Wei Tieshan said: "It turned out to be a guest girl." After saying this, Wei Tieshan didn't know what to say, so he had to walk with his head bored. After a cup of tea, the three of them came to the door of a large family, and Ke Yinyue finally turned around to the two for the first time and said, "This is the Hou family." Although he was talking to the two of them, Ke Yinyue just stared at Wei Tieshan directly, and didn't dare to look at Li Jinzhong at all. Wei Tieshan hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Miss Ke for leading the way." Ke Yinyue made a gesture and said: "Big brother don't be polite, the little girl has retired." With that, he left in a hurry. Li Jinzhong watched Yin Yue off the guest, and it wasn't until he was missing that Li Jinzhong turned around and sighed. Only then did he realize that Wei Tieshan was looking at him with strange eyes.

When Ke Yinyue left, Li Jinzhong returned to normal, walked in front of Wei Tieshan, stretched out his palm and shook it in front of Wei Tieshan, and said, "What are you staring at me?" What's on my face? Wei Tieshan slammed open Li Jinzhong's hand and put on an expression of discovering a new continent and said, "You have flowers on your face." Li Jinzhong said: "What? Wei Tieshan slapped his head and said, "Peach blossoms have grown on your face." Li Jinzhong said angrily: "You rammer, except for suppressing people with force, you won't order anything else." Wei Tieshan was also angry suddenly, and clenched his fists so loudly that he said: "Come on, come on, our old iron is a rough man, so he will only use force to suppress people." Li Jinzhong saw that Wei Tieshan had bad intentions, so he laughed twice and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, don't make trouble, let's get down to business first." So he came to the gate of the Hou family and knocked on the door. After a while, an old man's voice came out of the door, "Who are you looking for?" Li Jinzhong said loudly when he heard this: "Under Li Jinzhong, he is a friend of Brother Hou Lei, and today I came to give Hou Er a message for Brother Hou Lei and bring something by the way." The old man inside didn't make a sound, but heard the bolt of the door, and after a while, the door opened, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out and said: "It's a friend of the eldest young master, please go to the living room to serve tea first, and the old slave will go to the study to call the second young master." With that, he led the two into the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion is not big, but it is very chic, the big courtyard Li entering the door, the rockery pavilion, the flowers and trees are potted, and the living room is hung with calligraphy and paintings everywhere. is a scholarly family, but who would have thought that this is actually the home of Hou Lei, the head of the Ma Gang, the largest gang in Cangzhou. The two entered the living room, and the two maids brought tea and pastries to the two. The two sat down for less than a cup of tea, and saw two people coming in a hurry outside the hall, at the head was a scholar with an elegant temperament, and behind the scholar was the old man who had just opened the door for Li Jinzhong. At this time, the old man said to the scholar: "Second young master, these are the two friends of the eldest young master." The scholar glanced at the two of them, and after seeing the burden that Li Jinzhong put in his hand, he immediately exerted his strength and said, "I have seen two distinguished guests in Xiahou Bar. ”
