Chapter 12: Meet the Beauty Again
At dusk, a shallow moon hung obliquely on the branches, and the night gradually shrouded the entire Qinghe Town, with lights shining on the four fields of the city, and the stars illuminating passers-by. The bustle and hustle and bustle of the day faded away, leaving only the peace and tranquility of the night.
Chu Xiaofeng saw the last patient away, and asked Wang Ergou to take him to Longfu. Although Qinghe Town is a small town, it is still very unfamiliar to him, a foreigner, and he secretly scolded himself for negligence and forgot to ask the way to Lao Malone Mansion.
"Brother Xiao, there is something that the younger brother doesn't know whether to talk about or not?" Wang Ergou saw that Chu Xiaofeng was just following him, and felt very bored, so he took the initiative to find a conversation.
"Well, you say." Chu Xiaofeng replied softly, but did not look up at him. He didn't know that at this time, Chu Xiaofeng's mind was all on the words he said during the day, and he was seriously pondering the five elements of hooliganism he said: ruthless enough, fierce enough, cheap enough, scoundrel enough, and slippery enough.
"You now have the ability to practice medicine, and the state government seems to have a special respect for you. In time, you will definitely be able to mix and flourish in this Qinghe Town, but why do you have to learn these indiscriminate things from me, isn't this self-destructive? Wang Ergou said cautiously. He really doesn't understand that although people like himself don't worry about eating and drinking, their reputation has long been bad to the bone marrow, but as long as there is a craft, who wants to live such a contemptible life.
"Hehe, look how good you are, you can get a lot of silver when you turn around the street, isn't it easy and comfortable." Chu Xiaofeng smiled when he heard this, and quipped.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao laughed, we little hooligans dare to bully honest people, like those who have status and power, it's not that they will be beaten or scolded." Wang Ergou opened his mouth, touched his head, and said with a wry smile. Even if the street artist is poor, at least his dignity is still there, but what about himself? Everything has long been lost.
"Seriously, I'm starting to like the rogue business now, you think, number one, walk casually, don't worry about all that red tape. Second, speak freely, and don't care about those who care. Third, do things as you want and ignore the three outlines and five constants. Isn't that comfortable, you say? Chu Xiaofeng's face showed a relaxed comfort, perhaps, everyone can have this kind of freedom in a thousand years.
"What Brother Haha Xiao said is that based on this alone, I, Wang Ergou, will identify you as a big brother." Wang Ergou listened to Chu Xiaofeng's words, and suddenly felt that it was still good to be a hooligan, which was as unbearable as his father said, and he admired Chu Xiaofeng more and more in his heart. Secretly said: This master not only surpasses ordinary people in strength, but even this idea is superior.
How could he know that Chu Xiaofeng and he learned to be a hooligan in order to wash away his nobility and become the most shameless ruffian in the world, so as to escape the search and pursuit of Taishi Pang and others. Even if Master Pang was as cunning as a fox and unparalleled in wisdom, he would never have thought that the noble and intelligent Third Highness had become an ugly rascal that everyone hated.
The two talked and laughed all the way and soon came to the door of Longfu, but saw that the high wall was towering, the Zhu door was closed, a pair of huge copper rings were hung in the center of the two doors, and the copper nails the size of bells were neatly arranged in five rows at the lintel, which was full of luxury. In front of the gate, two golden bronze lions with a height of nearly two meters are mighty and domineering, lying on both sides of the gate, and the white steps are clean, showing the owner's taste and elegance.
"I didn't expect that this Longren is really rich, and the momentum of this mansion is no worse than the residence of the nobles in Beijing, and it is even more luxurious." Chu Xiaofeng never expected that the mansion outside a small town would have such a magnificent scale, which was really breathtaking.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao doesn't know, this Longyuan is in the silk business, and his assets are huge, comparable to princes and nobles, and his silk shop, Longfeng Pavilion, is blooming everywhere, everywhere." Seeing that Chu Xiaofeng was so surprised, Wang Ergou hurriedly stepped forward to explain. As an indigenous resident of Qinghe Town, how can he show off his knowledge in front of outsiders.
"What! He is actually the owner of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion? Hearing Wang Ergou say this, Chu Xiaofeng was even more surprised in his heart, he had already heard of this Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, not to mention far away, most of the silk cloth used in the palace was from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, and even heard from his father that the dragon robe worn by the new monarch when he succeeded to the throne was from the hands of the craftsmen of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", Wang Ergou pulled the knocker under Chu Xiaofeng's signal, there was a soft "creak", the door was slowly opened, and a little guy in green clothes poked his head out and looked around, but saw Wang Ergou looking at himself with a smile.
"What are you doing here, you!" The little guy didn't ask any questions, looked at Wang Ergou vigilantly, and scolded sharply. As the saying goes, the prime minister's third-grade official in front of the door, the family of Longfu is also the master who looks up at people, besides, he is not an honest man like Lao Ma.
"I'm tired, my brother came to the house for a banquet." Wang Ergou said with a smile.
"Your brother? Phew! Lazy toad wants to eat swan meat! The little guy in Tsing Yi looked disdainful, looked at Chu Xiaofeng behind Wang Ergou, and saw that he was plainly dressed and had an ugly face, and suddenly felt disgust and contempt. Bang" slammed the door shut.
"Brother Xiao, look" Wang Ergou spread his hands helplessly.
"Let's go." Chu Xiaofeng frowned, and sighed softly, presumably tonight's banquet was unblessed, and looking at the arrogant appearance of that little guy, he would definitely not let himself in.
"Ugly bastard, why are you here?" The two of them had just walked a few steps, and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind them, Chu Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and the voice turned out to be the little girl Qing'er that day.
Sure enough, not far away, Qing'er was bouncing towards this side, and the two luxurious red sedan chairs behind her slowly followed, and five or six guards holding the hilt of the knife walked quickly.
"Brother Xiao, let's go quickly." Seeing the two sedan chairs, Wang Ergou hurriedly pulled Chu Xiaofeng's sleeve and said in a panic.
"Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xiaofeng was a little inexplicable, he was still waiting to see the beauty, why did this Wang Ergou seem so panicked, could it be that the person in the sedan chair was his enemy?
"It's not Brother Xiao, this is the sedan chair of the state capital, let's leave quickly." Wang Ergou looked anxiously in the direction of the sedan chair, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, and his heart was even more anxious. A little hooligan like him is most afraid of officials on weekdays, and it can be said that as long as he sees officials, he will panic.
"Hehe, it turned out to be you little girl, I'm here for the banquet." Chu Xiaofeng ignored Wang Ergou, who was pulling him by his side, and said with a smile to Qing'er, who had already come to him.
"Humph! I said you're a big liar, but Miss still doesn't believe it. Look, you're with the number one ruffian in Qinghe Town right now! It's really like to gather people in groups! Qing'er pinched her waist with both hands, looking like a little adult, and scolded Chu Xiaofeng, that delicate appearance made Chu Xiaofeng cry and laugh.
"Qing'er, don't mess around." The sound of the warbler is pleasant, crisp as a spirit, the sedan chair landed, a graceful figure walked slowly, Chu Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly lit up, staring directly at the stunning beauty in front of him, everything around him became a delusion, as if all the scenery in the world had gathered into the beauty in front of him.
"It turned out to be sir." Seeing Chu Xiaofeng staring at himself intently, the beauty frowned slightly, and said unhappily. secretly said in his heart: This person is too rude, how can he stare at others.
With a "snap", Qing'er saw that Chu Xiaofeng looked at her young lady motionlessly as if her soul had left her body, jumped up and knocked Chu Xiaofeng on the forehead.
"Oops! You little girl" Chu Xiaofeng was knocked by Qing'er, and suddenly came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.
"Zhen'er, are those two your friends?" Just when Chu Xiaofeng was about to step forward to "catch up" with the beauty, a majestic voice came, and he saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old walking slowly, the man was tall, his face was serious, and he was dressed in a black costume flying in the wind, which set off the grace of this person. He is the food and clothing parent official of this Qinghe Town-Xu Daoyuan.
"Back to Daddy, no, it's just a passer-by who has had a one-sided relationship." The beauty bowed slightly to the middle-aged man and said softly.
"Humph! I said, how could my Xu Daoyuan's daughter know such a market splash! Xu Daoyuan glanced at Chu Xiaofeng and Wang Ergou in disgust, and snorted coldly. After speaking, he walked directly around the two of them to the Long Mansion, and five or six catchers behind him hurriedly followed.
"Don't blame me, sir, my father, he" Chu Xiaofeng just wanted to say a few words for the two of them, but the beauty sighed lightly and said lightly.
"It's okay, the young lady is beautiful and virtuous, I won't be as knowledgeable as that old man." Chu Xiaofeng saw that the beauty was so beautiful, and he swallowed all the words he wanted to say into his stomach, and said with a smile.
"Ugly monster, who do you say is the old man? Beware of my lord spanking you! Qing'er heard Chu Xiaofeng say this, she was very dissatisfied in her heart, and pouted and said.
"Alright, Qing'er, let's go." Seeing that her father was staring at this side, the beauty didn't dare to delay any longer, pulled up Qing'er and nodded lightly at Chu Xiaofeng, and hurriedly walked over.
"Beautiful, so beautiful." Looking at the beauty's back, Chu Xiaofeng muttered to himself. It turned out to be the daughter of the lord of the state capital here, I said how could it be so dignified and beautiful, the more I thought about it, the more Chu Xiaofeng felt that the beauty in front of him was so perfect.
"Brother Xiao, I've come back to my senses." Seeing that the adults of the state mansion and his party had already entered the Long Mansion, Chu Xiaofeng was still looking at the gate of the Long Mansion blankly, and Wang Ergou couldn't help but say loudly.
"Ahem, let's go back." Chu Xiaofeng suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw Wang Ergou looking at him ambiguously, his old face turned red, and he coughed dryly twice and said.
"Brother Xiao doesn't know, this Xu Zhenzhen is the number one beauty in our Qinghe Town, and the people who propose marriage are going to line up by the Xianghe River, but our state capital, the big people have big hearts, and let out the words, their daughters will not marry if they are not princes." Wang Ergou smacked his mouth and said, such a beauty, a man will be tempted.
"Xu Zhenzhen? Good name. Qinghe has a beautiful woman, peerless and beautiful, looking at the city, and then looking at the country. Chu Xiaofeng unconsciously appeared in his mind Xu Zhenzhen's appearance again, and said slowly with his eyes closed. People are not romantic teenagers, not to mention that he is still a teenager who is just beginning to fall in love.
"Hehe, just because you, an ugly ghost, also want to get involved with Sister Xu, it's really wishful thinking!" Just as Chu Xiaofeng was slowly reminiscing about the bits and pieces of meeting the beauty just now, a mocking voice sounded in his ears.
"Huh? Guo Qingzheng! Chu Xiaofeng followed the prestige, and saw Guo Qingzheng standing in front of a sedan chair glaring at him viciously. Chu Xiaofeng was a little speechless, this woman's hearing is too good, she can actually hear a few words she whispers to herself, and looking at her expression, it seems that she owes her something.
