Chapter 225: Into the City
It happened so fast.
When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that Fang Hanniang had been hugged into her arms by a handsome man in brocade clothes and jade crowns, and Mingyue was kicked extremely hard, first knocking over someone else's table, and then bounced to the ground, covered in vegetable soup and water, very embarrassed.
Fang Hanniang was in a hurry, she gently pushed Ji Jinxing with her hand: "Have you been burned?" ”
Ji Jinxing let go of Fang Hanniang, stood aside, and said indifferently with an unchanged face: "It's okay." ”
Fang Hanniang didn't believe his words, she turned behind him, and saw the back that was wet with hot tea, she didn't dare to touch it if she wanted to, and her anxious tears were about to come out, she shouted to the shopkeeper: "Is there cold water?" Go get cold water! ”
"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper responded hurriedly and went to the back kitchen to serve cold water.
Mr. Lin was terrified, if that cup of hot tea was spilled on the face of the eldest lady of the Fang family, if nothing else, the master of the Fang family would definitely not be able to let them go. The prestige that they have accumulated over the years of walking the rivers and lakes has been ruined.
"Thank you for saving this son." Mr. Lin stood up and thanked him, and his tone was very sincere.
His eyes were vicious, and he could naturally see that the son in front of him was extraordinary, and he was dressed like a young master of a noble family.
Ji Jinxing nodded slightly, which was in response to Mr. Lin's words.
Qing He hurried in with a few guards, saw Ji Jinxing's wet back at a glance, and said in surprise: "Master, are you okay?" ”
It happened that the shopkeeper came out with a copper basin, and the copper basin was full of cold water. Fang Hanniang hurriedly said: "Qinghe, your master may be burned, you quickly find a place and rinse him with cold water first." ”
As soon as he heard this voice, Qing He heard it, and he was also very surprised, it turned out to be Miss Fang?! Miss Fang actually came to the capital?
He looked around left and right, and scolded with his mouth: "Yu Qi, you stinky boy!" ”
Yu Qi is the code name of that secret guard.
The secret guard shrunk his neck in secret, thinking, Lord Qinghe, the master just said that I should watch Miss Fang's safety, but he didn't say that I should watch her and not let her come to the capital.
But no matter what's wrong now, he didn't worry about his master's burns, he looked at Ji Jinxing: "Master? ”
Ji Jinxing had a handsome face and didn't say anything, still carrying a long sword in his hand and was about to go out.
Fang Hanniang wanted to shout to stop him, but she didn't expect someone to shout out first.
"Childe stays!"
A weak cry rang out.
Ji Jinxing was stunned, and continued to walk out with an unchanged expression.
Qing He, as Ji Jinxing's personal guard, stopped his steps, looked at the sound, and found that it was a graceful-looking girl, looking at them sadly, and beside her, there was a maid who was embarrassed with vegetable soup and soup.
"Childe, you kicked and injured the maid who is like a sister to me, is that it?!" The girl's voice was desolate, and she cried out mournfully, "Do you see that our master and servant are alone and lonely, so they can't be bullied?" ”
Fang Hanniang was uncomfortable because of Ji Jinxing's indifference, and when she heard Lu Huaiqing shouting like this, she said coldly: "Self-inflicted, and have the face to shout injustice?" If Mingyue hadn't wanted to splash the hot tea on my face, why would I have been kicked away by that son! ”
"Miss......" Mingyue just shouted with tears in her eyes, and she coughed violently, looking even more embarrassed.
Lu Huaiqing was stunned by Fang Hanniang's words, and her face showed a little embarrassment: "No matter what, you can't kick so hard...... Mingyue is at fault, but it's not that wrong, right? ”
Although Qing He didn't see what happened just now, with his intelligence, he guessed it as soon as he contacted him, and he looked at Lu Huaiqing with a straight face: "It turned out that your maid injured my master." Do you know who my master is? If you hurt my master, your maid will not be enough to make amends. ”
These words greatly made Lu Huaiqing's heart secretly excited, she breathed slightly short, but shouted with a mighty and unyielding attitude: "What about the dignitaries?!" Isn't the maid human? Can your master's noble status hurt my maid like this?! ”
looks weak and pitiful, but strong, independent, and not afraid of power, which makes people can't help but feel broken by her integrity and strength.
But who is Qinghe? Qinghe has been by Ji Jinxing's side for so many years, what kind of person has he never seen? He didn't eat Lu Huaiqing's set, but just smiled slightly: "This girl, you don't always have to think about putting yourself in a weak position to win the sympathy of others, it's useless." Your maid intended to attack my master, and my master kicked her away, just to protect herself. If you take this matter to the Jinluan Palace, you can't stand it. My master doesn't trouble you, it's already magnanimous, so don't know what to do. ”
Lu Huaiqing, who said this, was speechless.
After Qinghe finished speaking, he arched his fist towards Fang Hanniang: "Miss Fang, I still have business to do, so I will leave first." There is a fate to meet again in the capital. ”
Fang Hanniang nodded: "We will definitely see you again." He asks you to bother with his back. ”
Qing He nodded: "It's a matter of duty." ”
Qing He turned around and walked out quickly to chase Ji Jinxing.
The post station slowly resumed its liveliness, and the guests at the table who were knocked over by Mingyue pulled Lu Huaiqing unrelentingly to make her compensate for the loss, and her original little broken silver was less.
Lu Huaiqing gritted her teeth and looked at Fang Hanniang.
Fang Hanniang was in no mood to play any more verbal lawsuits with Lu Huaiqing, she got up, and her mood was a little low: "Let's hurry up and enter the city." ”
Mr. Lin nodded.
Of course, this time they didn't pick up Lu Huaiqing, which can be regarded as parting ways.
In less than two hours, the dart team arrived at the root of the tall and straight city wall of Xijing, and the powerful "Xijing" plaque was hung above the city gate, and the momentum was extraordinary.
It's just that for some reason, there was a long queue in front of the city gate.
Fang Hanniang's convoy also lined up at the back of the line.
Mr. Lin pulled the reins on the window of the car and said, "Miss Fang, just now our dart master went over to see it in advance, and a notice was posted next to the city gate, saying that there was a fugitive in Xijing in the past few days, and the four major city gates are under martial law, and you need to check when you enter and leave the city, and you may have to trouble you to get off the car for a while." ”
Fang Hanniang lifted the curtain, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's troublesome for Mr. Lin to take care of the dart, it's really hard for Mr. Lin to dart all the way." ”
But I was thinking in my heart, but I saw Ji Jinxing carrying a sword in his hand, and Qing He also said that "business is in my body", and I don't know if he is chasing a fugitive.
"Where." Mr. Lin said apologetically, "I was at that post station just now, if it wasn't for that son's rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable." It's also our carelessness, day and night, I didn't expect that there was a problem with the people around us. ”
At the mention of Ji Jinxing, Fang Hanniang was silent for a while.
Mr. Lin could see that Fang Hanniang probably knew that son. He is not a person who likes to inquire, and when he saw Fang Hanniang like this, he didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic.
Although it was almost dusk, it was really a little boring to wait in the carriage like this, Fang Hanniang simply got out of the carriage with Jasmine and stood in the line and waited.
The speed at which the line moved forward was not slow, but there were still many people who were upset and angry in line, and they cursed.
Those vulgar words are used to Mr. Lin's dart, but it doesn't hurt to listen to them. He listened to it for a while, and he was still thinking in his heart, these grandsons scolded the street so weakly.
As a result, I came back to my senses later, and there was a delicate Miss Fang lining up there.
Mr. Lin looked at Fang Hanniang with a hat on the side worriedly, and said with a dry smile: "If Miss Fang is not used to it, why don't you go back to the car to rest first?" ……”
As a result, Fang Hanniang didn't understand the concern in Mr. Lin's words at all, and naturally said: "Standing for a while, there's nothing unaccustomed, thank you Mr. Lin for worrying, it's okay, I'm not so delicate." ”
Mr. Lin silently closed his mouth and remembered one thing.
It is rumored that this eldest lady of the Fang family has lived in the countryside since she was a child, and it seems that it is not all unrealistic rumors at the moment, and it is impossible for this eldest lady to listen to those scolding street words......
After a while, seeing that Fang Hanniang and them were about to arrive, several young men and girls on horses suddenly burst out from the side of the team, causing a commotion.
Several of them held the reins at the city gates.
The girl at the head was dressed in a heroic fiery red riding suit, which was particularly eye-catching. She held a horsewhip inlaid with jade in her hand, sat on a tall jujube red horse, whipped the whip on the ground, and said with a smile: "What, does the county lord still have to dismount and be inspected?" ”
A small official in a military uniform said with a smile: "How come, the little county lord naturally doesn't need to dismount to check." As he spoke, he motioned for a few minions to get out of the way so that the girl could pass.
The girl snorted coldly, and took the lead in hitting the horse into the city, and the rest of the young girls also followed the little county lord into the city with a smile.
Fang Hanniang saw that the little county lord was very familiar, she had always had an excellent memory, and when she recalled it slightly, she remembered that once, when she went to You Mansion with Jiao's family to celebrate Mrs. You's birthday, she almost met a rampaging girl on the road, and almost made Jiao's fall in the carriage.
Isn't that her?
Fang Hanniang groaned slightly, judging from these two times, the little county lord didn't seem to be a lord to mess with, if he saw it in the future, there was no harm in being careful.
finally checked Fang Hanniang's place, but there was a small wave.
The city gate official saw that Fang Hanniang was wearing a hat and suspected fraud, so he asked Fang Hanniang to take off the hat.
In fact, there are many ladies and ladies who have entered the city, and most of them wear hats on their heads when they go out. The city gate officials basically checked the carriage roughly and let it pass, and when they arrived at Fang Hanniang, who did the city gate officials think would stand in line by themselves? Since it's not a lady from a big family, wearing a hat, isn't there a ghost?
Jasmine hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the silver ingot, and said softly: "My lord, the fugitive is a seven-foot-long man, and my young lady knows from the figure that it is not the fugitive, right?" Please also be accommodating. ”
