Chapter 51: Jiaowei Heyan (I), the escaped little man
Heavy nine festivals, cinnamon sticky branches, clouds in autumn. On both sides of Suzaku Street in Shengjing, hibiscus and acacia are growing, and under the trees there are children clapping their hands and circling, each holding a different gadget made of caramel in their hands.
"County Lord, you see, it's a newly marketed frost persimmon."
She looked at the girl's fingertips, and a layer of cyan makeup cloth was spread on the car. The middle is separated by a wooden board, and one side is filled with red persimmons, which is beautiful and beautiful, revealing a sense of joy.
On one side is the frosted persimmon, the golden gelatinous flesh is exposed, crystal clear like a half-hearted sugar egg.
"County Lord, it's still early, let's buy some and try it."
When Xie Yunrong is there, he will also gather these snacks according to the season. However, she was very lazy, and only put some thought into choosing the fruit.
All that's left is to string the persimmons and hang them in the sun to let them dry naturally.
Strange to say, the persimmons made in this way are soft and sweet, the meat is soft and sticky, and there is no astringency. She eats three or five at a time, and she doesn't feel tired.
She didn't have much to eat for breakfast, so she didn't think much about it and nodded her head. Kiyono's eyebrows were crooked, he shouted to stop the coachman, jumped out of the carriage and jumped to buy persimmons.
However, this was a bit of a delay. Duanmu Xihua lifted the curtain and saw the carriage of King Nan'an in front of him getting farther and farther away until it disappeared into a dot.
In the distance, a group of people gathered, and the girl was surrounded in the middle, it seemed that something was wrong. After much thought, she got out of the car and walked over.
Kiyono looked anxious when he saw her. I didn't care about anything, so I waved and shouted.
"Miss, my money bag has been stolen."
Touching her waist, she breathed a sigh of relief. He raised the purse in his hand towards the girl, and a soothing smile appeared on his face.
Getting closer, Duanmu Yuhua first looked around at the crowd around him, only to find that most of them were watching the excitement, and some of them still had malicious lights in their eyes, full of hatred.
No, she thought, with such an attitude towards a weak woman. Even the kind-looking old man he had seen in the carriage just now looked at them through gritted teeth.
"You ladies and sons of aristocratic families, all dressed like dogs, do all the things that exploit the people."
It's not their fault, Duanmu Yuhua doesn't know. A few days ago, Wei Zhixian went out shopping to buy clothes and other things. Turning her head to see the vendor in this stall, she recognized at a glance that it was the old man who sold sugar gourds to Jiang Lanhe that night.
Wei Zhixian squinted her eyes, with Lu Weizhen and the Jiang family protecting that woman, she couldn't do anything, but the sullenness in her heart these days has not disappeared.
She can't handle Duanmu Xihua like that, but this person is just a cloth cloth. It was just a glance at her, and the maid responded very cleverly.
She didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to let the old man go away, so as not to annoy people in front of her.
However, Wei Zhixian didn't know. Because the stall here is located in the most prosperous area where people come and go, the business is very good, and it has always been a place for traders to compete for.
The old man got up early in the morning and greedy for the land he occupied, so why should he say that he would leave.
But Wei Zhixian didn't care about this, the old man's resistance made her very angry.
She didn't say anything more, the guards had been with her master for a long time, so they naturally knew her intentions. What's more, the Wei family is prosperous, and they are all hungry for profit, and they have the potential to be a tiger.
They knocked down the grass and crushed the ground so hard that the flesh was rotten and crumbled. Then he carried the old man and threw him far away into the alley, and at the end he warned him again and again that he was not allowed to appear here again.
You see, the lives of the people are as light as grass in the eyes of these noble children. Just because he is not happy, he can destroy his life path.
There were a lot of stall owners around, although they all saw it, but Wei Zhixian was followed by a group of guards. They dare not speak out in anger, let alone offer to help.
This time, Kiyono didn't come up with any money, and she looked like a noble lady again. This reminded them of what happened last time, and everyone rushed over.
After all, if Kiyono was followed by the guards, they wouldn't dare to say anything.
Duanmu Xihua untied the purse around his waist and took out a piece of silver. The hustle and bustle of the surrounding people suddenly fell silent, and their eyes looked directly at her hands.
She paused, scanned the crowd carefully, and probably knew what was going on this time.
"Kiyono, can you clash with them verbally?"
The girl bit her lip and shook her head, she was going to take her hairpin first. Who knew that these people were unrelenting, and they never gave her a chance to argue.
She patted the girl on the shoulder, knowing that she had been wronged, and took back the silver she had just taken out in her hand.
"We don't want persimmons, let's go."
"Alas, you sons of the family are the most capable of oppressing the people. This persimmon, you touched it, you ate it, and you didn't buy it. ”
"I didn't..."
Kiyono wanted to argue, but Duanmu Yuhua shook his head, pressed her hand, and signaled that he knew.
"Uncle, although I don't know why you hate the children of the family so much. They may be acting incorrectly, but you may not be honest in what you do. ”
"Now that you've reaped the benefits, don't get any more inches. I don't care about the money we throw away today. ”
When the old man heard this, his face turned red, and the faces of the people around him were not good-looking, so they bowed their heads and said nothing.
"What do you mean by that, does it have anything to do with the fact that you lost your money and didn't give me money to buy my things?"
The smile on the girl's face was even more kind, and a pair of amber eyes were sparkling, distant and quiet.
"Is the old man going to care to the end? It just so happens that I also want to see where justice is. In this case, I will send a guard to report to the officer. Don't move around here, and wait for the government to come and make a decision. ”
"You are rich and powerful, and those officials will naturally not help us."
"Okay, okay, you don't want to die, dare to say anything."
The middle-aged man in a stall next to him grabbed the old man who was still trying to distinguish him, glanced at him, and then whispered a few words in his ear.
The old man looked at Duanmu Xihua, his face was shocked, and he looked a little panicked and at a loss.
"That's it."
He muttered a few words, pushed the cart full of persimmons, and limped away with his head down.
"Let's go."
The two walked towards the carriage, and the crowd slowly dispersed. Kiyono seems to know that something is wrong, and this group of people should be in a group.
But the matter has come to this point, and it is not good to look back, she only follows in silence. Seeing the girl's solemn expression, Kiyono choked.
"I'm sorry, Lord Shire."
"What do you say?"
She just didn't expect that Sheng Jing's current atmosphere would reach such a point. Dare to gather in broad daylight to do things like chickens and dogs.
If you say why you are merciful this time?
One is that she really doesn't want to reproduce what is wrong at this juncture, they are obviously outnumbered, and even if they tell the truth, they will be denied and denied. If you go to the official mansion, Jiaowei He will be late for the banquet.
The second is because she saw a woman in the crowd shaking her head all the time, looking at the crying child in her arms, she felt compassion.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, I don't blame you for this incident, but I taught you a lot of grievances."
She turned to the girl behind her, and was about to say a few words of comfort. A boy in a dark coat ran straight over and bumped into her, and the two fell to the ground and rolled a few times.
"County Lord, are you alright?"
Kiyono exclaimed and hurriedly trotted over.
She was stunned for a while, and opened her eyes to meet a pair of elegant eyes.
"Help me."
The man's current situation was very embarrassing, and there were several cuts on his face, which seemed to have been whipped by a leather whip. There were a few strands of hair on his forehead that were blown away by the wind, there was no crown or hairpin, and the long hair poured down like black jade to his waist.
Even so, it can't hide his graceful and elegant bearing. Such as a tree, planted between the green mountains and green waters, to get the essence of heaven and earth.
It is like Kunlun jade, falling in the southeast corner, exuding a faint brilliance. The son of the other is beautiful.
"You've got to let go of me first."
"Okay."
He chuckled lowly, warm and light. He held his chest with one hand and slowly got up, as if he had been injured.
Youth Zhou's body is dyed with black weaving. The black brocade robe, the cuffs and hem are embroidered with two magnolias, the magnolia is not gorgeous, not delicate, and adds a graceful appearance.
He wears a piece of black jade around his waist, and the black jade is facing the faint autumn sun - the whole body is crystal clear, and he knows that it is the best jade at a glance.
The wind stirred his green silk like a black satin spread.
Before she could ask any more questions, several strong men with leather whips came panting. The strong man at the head had a scar on his face that went deep into the flesh and bones, extending from the tail of his eyes to his lips.
He laughed, looking extremely hideous.
"This young lady, he is the son of our Yueren Building, and he hasn't been adjusted yet."
Yue Ren Lou, as the name suggests, took the name of "Yue Ren Song". Although the song of the Yue people talks about the same-sex love between men, it is also poignant and moving - the mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and the king does not know.
But Yuerenlou is not so elegant, and there are no longer a few good men in several countries. The largest men's style hall in Beixiang is the Yueren Building.
The behind-the-scenes boss of Yuerenlou is the son-in-law of the current Fu family, Fu Xingxuan. Duanmu Yuhua also knows this, and in order to save this man, it is not enough to specify money.
"I want this man, and you go and tell your master. If he has any questions, just come to Nan'an Wangfu to find me. ”
Nan'an Palace, it seems that this person is the lord of Changning. But on the master's side, it's not so easy to talk, Scar Man thought about it.
"Even if you say so, we can't tell the truth from the fake in this identity, in case we go to the Nan'an Palace, I don't see you, or you are in debt."
"Why don't you do that, Mademoiselle, leave us a pledge. In this way, the master will return it when he sees you in the Nan'an Palace. If we don't see it, we might as well have an explanation. ”
The strong man swept around her, and finally his eyes settled on Qingye.
"Why don't you just want the girl in front of you?"
"No way!"
"Miss, I'll go."
"Kiyono."
The girl rolled her eyes and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Trust me, Lord Shire."
The girl's gaze was firm, and she nodded.
Qingye's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, looking at several strong men, especially the man with the scar, there was no fear and hatred on his face, and his smile became sweeter and sweeter.
"This boy looks injured, I'll help him get into the car with Miss first, do you think it's okay?"
He hesitated for a moment, but he thought that two weak women who were powerless would not give birth to any moths.
"Hmm."
The two of them supported the young man, and when they were about to reach the carriage, the strong man suddenly spoke, which was quite obscene.
"He's not injured, Miss is just catching up with good things, we just gave him medicine."
Well? What medicine.
The young man's face gradually turned crimson, and he let out a slight gasp. Only a pair of eyes were still cold and self-contained, but the green tendons on the clenched fists bulged, showing his current patience.
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Duanmu Xihua: "......"
She raised her eyebrows, how could she not be worried about this? Just when he was holding her, he felt an abnormal body temperature on this person's body. Combined with the rhetoric of those big men just now, eight or nine is not far from ten.
"Hey, Uncle Yi, he's so heavy, come and help him."
Kiyono gave the groom a look, and the girl's gaze was quite oppressive, thinking of the situation of the few people now. He got up and lifted the curtain and helped the young man to the car.
"County Lord, sit down."
Kiyono pushed the coachman inside and took the reins with both hands. The car drove past a few big men and ran all the way to the front.
"Damn, I was tricked, chase."
Inside the carriage, the coachman fell to the ground, the young man covered his chest and gasped slightly on one side, Duanmu Xihua lifted the curtain and looked outside, the only good news was to throw off the people chasing behind.
But you can't take this person to Jiaowei He's banquet, he also got love drugs, it's really terrible, how good is this. She was anxious, but suddenly thought that this place was not far from the Drunken Moon Tower.
Turn around from the intersection in front of you, turn around and go to Baihuajing Lane, although you may be late for the Jiaowei Feast, but you can't care about it so much.
"Qingye, let's go to the Drunken Moon Tower and ask Aunt Nanxu for help."
"Okay, county lord."
"Aunt Nansu......"
The young man on the side shouted out, his tone soft.
"Well, do you know that?"
Not only did he know her, she was his mother. However, there was no time to say anything, and the effect of the medicine came flooding in.
"Hmm, it's hot."
The young man's wheezing voice was mixed with a little moaning, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The next second he bit his wrist, trying to stay awake.
"I have written down the girl's kindness today, and he will repay it one day."
"It's okay, don't talk yet, save your strength."
You must hold on, Duanmu Yuhua said in his heart. As if he could see what she was thinking, even if he was forced to the brink of collapse by the medicine, the young man was still elegant and graceful, and his tone was light.
"Under the surname Zhou, the small print is declining. Girl. ”
"It doesn't matter, you calm down first and take care of yourself."
The young man still insisted.
"The girl told me, and I stopped asking."
"My surname is Duanmu, a pearl of small characters."
He nodded.
"Offended, Miss Pearl."
