Lu Tingxiu didn't fancy these vain, anyway, he didn't stay in Liangzhou for long, so what if people laughed at a few words, it was just the ability to talk about it.

It was still early before the birthday banquet, and the two walked out of the inn and chatted along the river embankment.

"What do you keep watching me do?" With an ugly face, looking at Lu Tingxiu's smiling eyes, Xia Qiu felt strange in his heart, "Is it that if I'm ugly, you don't like it?" ”

Lu Tingxiu couldn't help but smile, "It's rare that you're so ugly, I want to take a second look." ”

Xia Qiu glanced at him, "It is said that the older a person gets, the uglier he becomes, so when I get old, I will naturally be ugly, and then you dare not want me?" ”

"You're old, I'm old, let's be half a pound and eight taels, and no one dislikes anyone."

Even if he has a conscience, Xia Qiu couldn't help but laugh. What a pleasant thing it would be if I could be with him for the rest of my life.

Blowing the willow wind, the two walked forward arm in arm, and saw that the embankment in front of them was crowded with people, as well as the figure of the official.

When I got closer, I happened to see the official errand fishing out of the river for a female corpse, and her body began to swell after soaking overnight.

When I got close to the crowd, I saw that the female corpse was disheveled, her clothes were violently torn and tattered, revealing large pectoral muscles, and various bruises and scars were all over her body. She was lying on her back on the ground, her face bruised, her eyes cracked and her pupils dilated.

Xia Qiu recognized her face, it was the little woman who was molested yesterday.

She didn't expect that the reunion would be in this way.

"I don't know if it's that beast that spoils people like this." The onlookers whispered, "Poor, this has no name and can only seek relief from short-sightedness." ”

"It seems to be a tofu seller in Liuxiang in the south of the city, it looks beautiful, and it is also called tofu Shih Tzu."

"It's her, I heard that her husband died half a year ago, her in-laws are bedridden all year round, and there are two young children at home, so the family is counting on the tofu factory to live. Now that people are dead, how can they live if they leave their families behind? ”

Xia Qiu turned his face away and continued to walk through the crowd.

is such a big Liangzhou, but people's lives are so small, she still hasn't escaped the destruction of those people. How desperate she must have been, she will ruthlessly abandon her child and jump into the river to die.

Xia Qiu couldn't help but think of his younger brother and Wu Tongxing's gang of villains. She turned her face sideways and looked at the silent Lu Tingxiu, "You said that if the post road is cultivated, will the rampant of those people be more restrained?" ”

Lu Tingxiu couldn't bear her loss, "Maybe." ”

No wonder the people of Lin County love him so much, at least this kind of thing will not happen in Lin County again. Even if it happens, he will repay the Lord with justice.

Hufu, the threshold is high and the door is deep, the door of the house is full of lights, and the blowing and blowing are not lively.

It's just a fiftieth birthday, and the guests in front of the house are like clouds, and all the officials are present, and even several county orders under their jurisdiction have come to celebrate their birthdays, not to mention the gentry and merchants, and the big mahogany boxes keep being carried inside.

Xia Qiu deliberately calculated, plus there are no less than 20 people in Hu Zhifu's birthday every year, as well as various happy events such as his children and grandchildren, Zhang Luo has to come once in ten days and half a month, how many people have to collect people's fat and people's ointment.

What's more, there are not a few officials in Liangzhou City.

Look, people are pulling horses and horses, and Lu Tingxiu is painting by himself.

I don't know how he feels, anyway, Xia Qiu is quite embarrassed, this dare is to eat and drink.

Seeing that it was a painting, the steward registered in front of the house was stunned, and shouted for a while: "Linxian County Order, a pair of Danqing calligraphy and paintings." ”

It's too lonely, you must know that the one in front of him is a golden silk nanmu chair.

This is a birthday, it is clearly a big competition on the scene of gift-giving, and the gift registration on the spot was read out loud, except for Lord Lu, who is so poor that he has two sleeves, others really dare not be sloppy in the matter of gift-giving.

If you offend the prefect, you won't have a good time in the future.

In the eyes of everyone, Xia Qiu couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into, but Lu Tingxiu was calm and old-fashioned, and took her to step into the Hu Mansion with her head up.

Hu Zhifu was big, and he didn't come out to greet the guests, and all the people with heads and faces in the front yard appeared on the stage, and everyone was smiling and laughing.

Even in the crowd, Lu Tingxiu's appearance and temperament are quite eye-catching, like standing out from the crowd, and soon many people came up to greet him. The woman was shy, but her eyes couldn't stop glancing at him.

It's just that he frowned before he got into his heart. Such a gentle and elegant person, Rao is a fairy in the sky to be worthy of him, how can he have a fiancée, and he is so ugly.

Soon, the news of the county's fiancée's scandal spread among the guests.

No matter how high or low the status is, as long as it is not a good match and there is a huge difference in appearance, it can always arouse people's gossip curiosity.

Hua Ting recognized Xia Qiu at a glance in the crowd, he couldn't sleep yesterday because he was worried about Xia Qiu's safety, but now when he saw her ugly, everyone was angry, and he suddenly laughed like a fat man of two hundred and fifty pounds.

It's just that he soon couldn't laugh again.

Why is she looking ugly today? Could it be that yesterday's conversation in the wing room let her know.

Jin Hua once reminded him that Xia Qiu's hearing was different from ordinary people. He had paid enough attention to it, but he didn't expect to be known to her.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that the fig leaf was being ripped off, Hua Ting wanted to say something, but couldn't find an opportunity.

From time to time, someone accosted Lu Tingxiu, and Xia Qiu was suddenly squeezed down, a glass of wine was spilled on the skirt, and the skirt was dyed with wine.

"Oops, I'm so embarrassed." The girl apologized again and again, "Your clothes are wet, what can I do?" ”

Xia Qiu glanced at her, quite a sign girl, "It's okay, I'll just handle it myself." ”

She turned around and walked towards the Hu Mansion, asked a few simple questions, and then walked through the courtyard gate to the pool in the distance.

The girl glanced at Liao Gongzi not far away, and then chased after her in the backyard.

The blue wave pond is planted with lotus flowers, and there are many people who come to celebrate their birthdays to enjoy the scenery, and they are in groups together, and there are even those who make poems on a whim.

Xia Qiu looked for a low-lying place and wanted to wash the wine stains on her skirt, but she didn't know that someone was approaching.

The person standing behind him suddenly stretched out his hand towards Xia Qiu, "Oh, are you okay with this girl?" ”

As soon as her hand touched Xia Qiu's body, she suddenly turned to one side, and the girl didn't stand firm and plunged into the lake......

Xia Qiu said with a panicked expression: "Someone, help, someone has fallen into the water." ”

Unexpectedly, the gentlemen still played this kind of childish trick, Xia Qiu was really speechless, and kept shouting to save people.

The pool was full of silt, and all the guests came to the banquet for fear of soiling their clothes and being rude, and for a time no one dared to jump into the pool to save people.

There are still smart people, so they directly take the penny and poke it into the pool water, so that the girl who fell into the water can catch it. When the girl was pulled ashore, I saw that she was covered in mud and smelled of rotting and fat.

"Thank you for your help, otherwise this girl's life would have hung in the balance." Xia Qiu hurriedly thanked her, and did not forget to pinch her to rescue her.

The girl choked on a lot of water, and Xia Qiu punched her twice in the stomach, forcing the water in her stomach out.

After rescuing, the curiosity to help save people asked, "Girl, who is she?" ”
