Chapter 129: Beaten
Xiao Anyu took Si Xi out of the carriage and prepared to take a walk, he had been in the capital for so long, and it was the first time he had accompanied Si Xi to take a walk. The prosperity of the capital is not comparable to that of a small town, with street vendors shouting and shouting, a dazzling array of goods, and people coming and going on the street. There are large and small shops, restaurants, restaurants and the like on both sides of the street, and the Sixi is dazzling to see, and the stall owner will look at the rouge gouache in front of the stall owner, and the stall owner will look at the bead hairpin jewelry in front of the stall owner. After seeing the sugar gourd vendors, they began to be coquettish completely, and soon their carriage was full of all kinds of goods.
Si Xi watched happily in front, and then it was to buy, buy, buy, Xiao Anyu followed with a smile in the back, but this scene was seen by two men on the second floor of a teahouse. A blue robe, the upper layer of well-made fabric, looks Zhouzheng, at first glance, he is a dignitary, but his eyes fell on Xiao Anyu, the man next to him was handsome, but unfortunately his eyes were not right, but his eyes fell on Sixi, and there was resentment and hatred in his eyes carefully, this person was Li Yaoting. When I came back from Jiangnan, I happened to meet the man in front of me, and after talking, I learned that this man was Chen Yue, the son of the prime minister's nephew's housekeeper who had been trying to get on the line, so he carefully flattered him all the way, and Chen Yue also enjoyed this kind of flattery, thinking that he was the son of a housekeeper, and he flattered others in the capital, and now someone flattered him, so you can imagine what it was like in his heart, and he slowly had a good impression of Li Yaoting. When they were about to separate, Li Yaoting also invited Chen Yue to his home as a guest, and the two instantly became friends.
Li Yaoting also went to Beijing with Chen Yue naturally, relying on Chen Yue's relationship, Li Yaoting also found an errand in the teahouse of the prime minister's nephew, although it was far from what the family expected before, but it was also in the eyes of the big man, Li Weimao's family was still relatively satisfied, because of this relationship, the Li family's business was rolled out again, even bigger than before. And the prime minister also made a lot of efforts for the family because his nephew was sensible recently, especially in terms of money, which was twice as much as before, and he was also impressed. In short, this is a happy and smooth thing for everyone, and Chen Yue also became friends with Li Yaoting at the behest of his father, and the two often had fun and called each other brothers.
And now that Li Yaoting saw Si Xi, he remembered that he was scolded by this fool when he was in Jiangnan, he thought he was a scholar, and he always thought that he was superior, even if he was now a brother and brother with Chen Yue, but from his heart, he didn't look down on this kind of family slave, but now he can't take the imperial examination and has to be a false snake, and being scolded by Si Xi made him completely hate her, and he couldn't take revenge when the situation was unbearable, but now, hum. Thinking about it in his heart, he turned his head and saw Chen Yue also staring outside, thinking that he was also confused by the appearance of that fool, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "Brother Chen, where do you see the scenery so unblinking?" ”
When Li Yaoting said this, Chen Yue came back to his senses, but he still didn't look back, and looked down directly, "Yaoting, you don't know, there was news before that the second son of the Xiao family came back, but he hasn't seen him out of the mansion except for going to the county king's mansion, and now he is bringing a woman, which is really strange." ”
After hearing this, Li Yaoting asked, "The second son of the Xiao family?" Chen Yue glanced back at him, and said with a smile:
"Yaoting, you have been in the capital for too short a time, there are countless princes from all walks of life at the feet of this son of heaven, the previous head of the Xiao family is the first emperor's concubine, and there are many people who have been taught by him, and the current prime minister has been instructed by him, and has great prestige in the court. Later, because of his age, he returned to his hometown, and when he left, the court was intricately related, and he sorted out all the relationships and the handles of the main officials clearly, and promised the first emperor that the three generations of the Xiao family were not allowed to enter the court as officials, and the first emperor rewarded him with the post of Taishi, gave him a mansion, and stayed in the imperial city to live for a long time. After Xiao Taishi returned to heaven for a hundred years, although the title of Taishi could not be inherited, the Xiao family still received official food, and now there are still Xiao Taishi's protégés in the court, and most of them still have to sell the face of the Xiao family. The second son of the Xiao family is the son-in-law of the Xiao family, named Xiao Anyu, seven years ago, it is said that he has not returned from a study tour, and he has guessed whether he is not alive, and he can't imagine that he is back now. There is also a fiancée of his in the capital, and I firmly believe that he can come back and wait for him to be unmarried, and now the capital is going to be lively. ”
Li Yaoting was shocked, where did he think that Xiao Anyu was so big, if he knew, how could they be willing to seek the near and far in the first place, why did he have to fight him because of that stupid sister in the first place, not to mention that they still have a friendship with classmates. It's just that all this is if, and now he has mixed tastes in his heart, and then he looked at Chen Yue's eyes, woke up suddenly, took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"Speaking of which, I still have an in-law relationship with this second son of Xiao, that woman is my sister, I love him, I eloped with him without the consent of my family, I went to Jiangnan to look for them, but the result was ......" and then did not say any more.
Chen Yue also sighed cooperatively and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, where is the enmity between brother and sister, find a chance to be a brother, let's have a good chat." ”
"Thank you so much, Brother Chen."
When Si Xi returned to the house, for the first time, he didn't stick to Xiao Anyu, but went to see what he bought. Xiao Anyu smiled knowingly and took the opportunity to go to the study, called Xiao Da, gave a few instructions, and read the book in the study.
After a while, the porter came to report, Wu Zihao, the eldest son of the military department, asked to see him, Xiao Anyu nodded, and only after a quarter of an hour did he get up and go to the living room. A slightly frivolous man was drinking tea in the living room, and when he saw Xiao Anyu coming, he hurriedly got up: "Second son Xiao, don't come unharmed!" ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but they didn't get to the point, and Xiao Anyu didn't want to accompany them. At this time, a little maid beside Sixi ran crying with whip marks on her face, Xiao Anyu stood up and didn't say hello, and walked quickly towards Sixi's yard, and before she arrived, she heard a female voice shouting: "Slut, you still dare to hide, see if I don't scratch your face!" ”
Xiao Anyu sped up his pace, and what he saw was that several little maids surrounded Si Xi, and a woman dressed as a small maid was whipping at Si Xi, and the whip still had barbs. The little maids around her went up to be whips for Si Xi instead, so she was basically not injured so far, but she was a little stunned by excessive fright. And those little maids, their clothes are torn, and some of them even have a little blood oozing out of their backs, which is so pitiful.
Xiao Anyu shouted, "Stop!" Then he snatched the woman's whip and threw it out, and the woman was pushed out and thrown to the ground by the force. Xiao Anyu stepped forward to hug Si Xi, looked at a few little maids approvingly, and ordered: "Go down and treat the wound, and then find the housekeeper to receive the reward." ”
And the woman on the ground is Xiao Anyu's original fiancée, that is, Wu Yuhan, the youngest daughter of the military department, who had an affair with his eldest son Wu Zihao. This is Wu Zihao, the eldest son of the Ministry of War, who hurriedly came out to play a round: "Brother Xiao, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, the girl who acted recklessly, I don't know if this girl is hurt?" ”
Wu Yuhan stared at Xiao Anyu with a hurt expression, "I'll wait for you for seven years, and you will bring a woman back?" Are you worthy of me, we still have a marriage contract, I thought you died outside, I was determined not to marry for the rest of my life, is this how you repay me? ”
Xiao Anyu held back his anger and laughed mockingly, "Keeping the festival? Do you deserve it? ”
Wu Zihao saw that the matter was revealed, and it was not easy to end if it dragged on, "Brother Xiao, my sister has suffered from hysteria because you have not returned for many years, don't take it to heart, I will take her back and say goodbye." He pulled Wu Yuhan and left.
Si Xi had a short lucidity when Xiao Anyu was hugging, and quickly recalled what she had done before, she really wanted to slap herself a few times, but before she had time to sort out the direction after that, her brain was confused again, Xiao Anyu looked down at Si Xi, only to see her frowning as if she was thinking about something, and then she looked confused, he sighed, and at the same time he was scared in his heart, if it wasn't for the desperate protection of those little maids today, without them to report the news, would his Xi'er be bullied by that slut, The whip marks on those maids will all be injected on her body, and the consequences will be unbearable just thinking about it, how can the person he holds in his hands be bullied by others at will! He also used the greatest restraint to not kill the slut on the spot, it seems that Xiao Da needs to plan in advance.
Comforting the person in his arms softly, Si Xi blinked his eyes and saw him clearly, hugged him and began to cry, tears and snot came together, Xiao Anyu was also distressed in his heart, and he decided to make their brothers and sisters pay the price first after the plan was advanced, and he was really a soft persimmon, so he was a bully.
Three days later, news spread in the capital that the eldest son and youngest daughter of the military department Shangshu staged an incest drama in the garden, and were bumped into by the wife of the military department Shangshu and the wife of the imperial historian, and both of them were severely beaten. According to the family in the house, in fact, their house has known their relationship for a long time, and the two have been trysts since a few years ago when the eldest prince was not married. The young lady was afraid of being known, so the two planned not to retreat from their marriage to Xiao Anyu, so that they could continue their cheating tryst.
This news is like growing wings, for half a day, even the nursery rhymes of the children on the street are singing the story of their brothers and sisters, and the upright military department Shangshu returned to the house with everyone's eyes watching the play, and learned about it from the housekeeper, and was angry at that time. Then the matter did not end with him falling ill, the next day in the court, the emperor angrily reprimanded him for his lax discipline, asked to go home and think about it behind closed doors, when to figure out when in the court, the position of the secretary of the military department was temporarily held by his subordinates.
Later, Wu Yuhan was sent to the temple to become a monk, and since then he has been accompanied by the ancient Buddha for the rest of his life, and the eldest son Wu Zihao has misbehaved and was sent back to his home to think. The two never saw each other in their lives, and later heard that Wu Zihao had secretly run out to find Wu Yuhan, and after being discovered, he directly broke his leg and lay in bed all year round.
