Chapter 13 The Gentlemen of the Capital
Dong Xiaowan was still awakened by the noise when she was still drowsy.
"Whimpered" like a kitten, tucked the quilt over his head, lay on the pillow and continued to sleep.
If Xiaomei hadn't slapped her ass hard with a pillow, Dong Xiaowan would never have woken up.
A spirit bounced up from the bed, teeth and claws hating to eat Xiaomei alive.
A good lazy sleep ruined her.
After rubbing her eyes, she found that there were three big living people standing in front of the bed, all of them holding their arms and looking at her with a serious face.
Dong Xiaowan quietly withdrew the fangs that she was about to bite.
Only Xiaomei's expression was a little softer, and she leaned into Dong Xiaowan's ear and said, "Miss, you can't wake up no matter how you scream when you sleep like a pig, the two sons have been waiting for you for almost half an hour." ”
As if her young lady had embarrassed her, she kept covering her face, not daring to look at the faces of the two sons Tie Qing.
Seeing that Dong Xiaowan finally woke up, Feng Yanzhi and Chu Shancheng walked out with their arms in their arms.
Shengsheng delayed Dong Xiaowan for half an hour, I am afraid that everyone in the capital knows that the original Xiaoge Lao has returned to Beijing.
For Chu Shancheng, a guilty body, it is not a good thing.
Dong Xiaowan didn't dare to delay, everything was simple, she simply washed her face, drew her eyebrows, painted her lips, and her hair was simple, and she got off the boat with the three sons in three minutes with her baggage.
At the northern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Beijing, the harbor is open and ships come and go frequently.
A group of slender men shouted trumpets and pulled some ore through the river. On both sides of the river, there are also many vendors selling goods to fill the estuary. There are not only small fishing boats fishing in the depths of the river, but also large boats like Dong Xiaowan moored at the port, and more than a dozen large boats are side by side at the front of the port. At a glance, the high sails are flamboyant and very magnificent.
Dong Xiaowan and Xiaomei are both seeing such a lush scene for the first time, although Dong Xiaowan is not cheering happily next to Xiaomei like Xiaomei, but her eyes are full of novelty that can't be seen, and her eyes are full of joy.
"Miss, Miss!" Xiaomei squatted in front of a stall selling small turtles and greeted Dong Xiaowan.
"Look, the little turtle is so cute!"
Dong Xiaowan couldn't resist the temptation to squat down and play with the turtle.
As soon as Xiaomei poked, the turtle's head and claws were all retracted into the shell, looking pitiful, and there were bubbles in the mouth.
Dong Xiaowan also stretched out his hand and touched its little paws, and after all its limbs were retracted, Dong Xiaowan picked up the turtle again, turned it over and looked at what it looked like underneath.
Chu Shancheng couldn't stand it anymore.
Two hands reached under Dong Xiaowan's elbows, and carried her to the side of the road, away from the vendors.
Xiaomei also followed behind and shouted, "Miss, don't leave me, wait, wait for me!" ”
can't play with the little turtle, and now Dong Xiaowan is squatting on the road.
Dong Xiaowan was angry and stayed in the middle of the road.
Chu Shancheng had no choice but to squat down, without force, he slapped his palm on the top of Dong Xiaowan's hair, and it was like a bow.
"Hurry up, we have to rush to Mama Huang this morning!" There was even a hint of impatience in his voice.
Dong Xiaowan naturally heard it, holding her knees with both hands, squatting and moving to the side.
Although she was angry, she also knew that she couldn't get in the middle of the road and interfere with others' walking. And most importantly, why pat your head! Don't you know if the head is tall?!
Chu Shancheng lost his patience, stood up, and looked at Dong Xiaowan, who was as round as a stingy bag.
"I'll count one, two, three, if you don't get up again, I'll take Xiaomei away by myself, you can find a way to go by yourself."
Pulled the bewildered little Mei behind him.
Slowly, word by word, he spit out "one"
Dong Xiaowan turned her head and ignored him, and wanted to threaten me as an independent woman in the new era!
"Two"
Dong Xiaowan sat on the ground directly regardless of her image, holding her arms and ignoring him.
"Three"
Dong Xiaowan was still unmoved.
Chu Shancheng, the old man of the small pavilion who can stop children crying at night, did not establish his majesty for the first time, and bowed down in front of a woman.
Pointing at Dong Xiaowan and speechless, this woman is too stubborn and unreasonable!
violently slapped Feng Yanzhi, who was still talking to the female stall owner next to him, and slapped him the back.
"You go and buy the turtle over there." He lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "And the sugar man next to him will also buy one." ”
took the things Feng Yanzhi bought, hugged it and stuffed it into Dong Xiaowan's arms, "Hurry up, otherwise I will really pull Xiaomei and leave by myself." ”
For Chu Shancheng, if he wanted to put aside his ordinary, he would have left Dong Xiaowan and left by himself, and he would not even look back.
Now I don't know what's going on, I wonder if it's really because the emperor has belittled him, and his personality has become cowardly?
I feel very disdainful of myself in my heart, and it is really embarrassing to be defeated in front of a woman today.
Dong Xiaowan got both the turtle and the sugar man, and she was already happy, patted the dust on her buttocks, and got up from the ground.
I thought that Chu Shancheng just had a dead face, which was still quite cute.
But think about it, it turns out that the children of the capital, if they don't know how to coax girls, how can they be the first in the capital for so long, and they must have some personality charm.
Dong Xiaowan licked the candy man, very happy, her eyes narrowed, and she smiled like a crescent moon.
Chu Shancheng walked in front, looking back at Dong Xiaowan's strange and shameless childish appearance, and was even more worried about himself. Now such an ordinary woman, can't she resist it now?
Chu Shancheng, what's wrong with you?!!
To talk about the origin of Chu Shancheng's name in the capital,
It all started when he was five years old.
Chu Shancheng's grandfather, Gu Weijun, is an invincible veteran general who has been following the emperor in the south and the north before. Speaking in the court, anyone will shake three buckets.
But she gave birth to a delicate and willful daughter, and took a fancy to Chu Shimao, a concubine of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department. What is good about this Chu World Trade Center? Not only is the portal lower than theirs, but the weak body seems to fall down as soon as the wind blows.
The most important thing is that Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a notoriously cunning and flamboyant.
The old Gu family resolutely doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of family.
However, his daughter Gu Liuliu took a fancy to Gu Shimao's clever mouth and could recite poems, saying that he had the talent of the champion. Not only did he run away from home despite the opposition of this old man, but he also secretly had a son of Chu Shancheng.
The old man Gu Weijun saw his grandson's face before letting Chu Shimao enter the house. On the day of the wedding, Chu Shimao's father was imprisoned for participating in the rebellion of the three princes.
Only Chu Shimao was spared because of his relationship with the Gu family.
Because of the rebellion of the three princes, it was Gu Weijun who was the first to be exposed, but Gu Weijun didn't know that Chu Shimao's father, that is, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department at that time, was also implicated.
Since then, Chu Shimao has hated the Gu family.
Devoted to the imperial examination, he took refuge in the second prince at that time, wanting to get rid of the relationship between the Gu family and him.
Later, the second prince became the crown prince, and Chu Shimao assisted him wholeheartedly, escorting him all the way to become the current emperor, and the emperor also promoted him to be the first assistant of the cabinet.
Chu Shimao gained momentum, and the Gu family was not as important as him, the head of the cabinet, in the court because of the military generals. Chu Shimao often targeted the Gu family, and sent the children and grandchildren of the Gu family to fight all over the country.
He always spoke coldly to Gu Liuliu. Gu Liuliu was often in a dilemma in the struggle between the two families, and after a long time, he suffered from severe bipolar disorder and often lost his temper.
Only when her son Chu Shancheng is by her side will she regain her beautiful and dignified appearance.
