Chapter 476: Grace and self-respect
Zhou Meixing deviated her face, but her speed was half a beat slower, and she was still slapped in the face by Prince Kun's secret guard.
She was stunned, forgot to fight back, and forgot to continue to avoid.
Prince Kun's secret guard was not unequivocal, and immediately continued to wave his hand, "Smack!" Syllable! Syllable! "Slap her.
When the fifth blow was hit, Zhou Duoniu, Zhou Shishan, and Prince Zhao's two secret guards rushed over from the side at the same time.
Among them, Prince Zhao's two secret guards took action to restrain Prince Kun's secret guard.
The brothers Zhou Duoniu and Zhou Shishan took the opportunity to retaliate, "Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ...... slammed Prince Kun's secret guard nearly ten times.
After inciting, the two of them turned their heads and glared at Prince Kun fiercely, and then approached Zhou Meixing together.
"Mei Xing, come, rub some medicine." Zhou Shishan said as he took out a small bottle of ointment from his arms, dipped a small piece of it with his index finger, and gently rubbed it on Zhou Meixing's face.
"Mei Xing, when this guy rushed at you just now, you had no time to dodge, why did you think of dodging when he slapped you?" Da Niu had a straight face, pointed at Prince Kun's secret guard, and questioned Zhou Meixing in a deep voice.
"Hongxing and the master are a little ahead of me, I thought they would help me stop him." Zhou Meixing had already come back to her senses at this time, she glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi and Hongxing, and said with a very aggrieved expression.
"Mei Xing, what do you mean? Are you blaming the master and Hongxing for not helping you stop Prince Kun's secret guard? Qingtao, who was on the side, got angry when she heard this, looked at Zhou Meixing, and asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't blame them, I just didn't expect that they would actually watch Liang Kun's secret guards come to beat me, and they didn't come forward to help me stop them." Zhou Meixing pursed her lips and said a little unconvinced.
Qingtao was almost laughed at by her words.
"It's funny, it's not that the master and Hongxing want you to scold His Royal Highness Prince Kun, since you dare to speak out and scold His Royal Highness Prince Kun for 'talking nonsense', according to the rules, you should have been slapped in the mouth, why did the master and Hongxing come forward to help you?"
"Besides, what is your identity? What is the identity of the master? ”
"As a subordinate, after you provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, you didn't think about reflection first, and relied on your martial arts to protect yourself, but you first thought about waiting for the master to come forward to protect you, you are treating the master as your subordinate!" When he said the last sentence, Qingtao deliberately accentuated his tone.
Zhou Meixing couldn't stand it.
Her eyes widened and she retorted loudly to Qingtao: "Qingtao, how can you talk like this?" When did I take my master as my subordinate? Do you know where I come from? ”
"There are two people in my family who died because of their master and her stepmother, one of them is my grandfather, but we repay our grievances with virtue, and in turn recognize her as our master, can you do this? Can your family do this? ”
"As for me scolding Prince Kun for 'talking nonsense', it's really a little wrong, but I can't be blamed entirely for this matter, if it weren't for His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, who Liang Kun slandered first, where would I scold him?"
"Could it be that I, as a citizen of the Chu State, saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our Chu State was slandered, shouldn't I stand up and defend it?"
"Also, I only have a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, and it is impossible for me to be the opponent of Liang Kun, the secret guard, but Hongxing and the master have served Xianlu, opened the second vein of Rendu, and become the top master of martial arts."
"If they come forward to help me, it's very easy, when Liang Kun, the secret guard, rushes over, isn't it normal to expect Hongxing and the master to help me stop me?"
"Zhou Meixing, you-"
"Qingtao, don't say it!" When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, she interrupted Qingtao's words with a serious expression.
She kind of heard it.
This week, Meixing has been talking about Zhou Yuangeng's three brothers saving Chu Yunniang, and she secretly holds herself in love!
It's ridiculous.
If it weren't for her own help, what would Zhou Meixing be like now, didn't she have any points in her heart?
She looked at Zhou Meixing with awe-inspiring eyes, and said word by word: "Zhou Meixing, since your grandfather took the initiative to sacrifice his life to save my stepmother's feat in the first place, in exchange for the fact that you are still trying to repay me with kindness, then, now in front of everyone present, I and you, let's settle the account!" ”
"Back then, Qi was in Chu, and by the end of autumn, the weather was getting colder, and I judged that Chu temporarily recruited a lot of new soldiers to join the army, and in winter, the cotton clothes and quilts to protect against the cold must be insufficient, and they may buy new cotton clothes and quilts from the people."
"So, I proposed that my stepmother and Aunt Liu, the mother of Brother Duoqin, go to the town together to buy cotton and cloth and come back, and make cotton clothes so that they can be sold at that time."
"Unexpectedly, on the way to the town, they were intercepted by Zhou Lili, a gangster in the village, and his three cousins."
"It's Grandpa Zhou Yuangeng, your grandfather, and another grandfather of your family, who saw that the road was uneven, and took the initiative to help my stepmother and the aunt of the Liu family, and escaped from the clutches of Zhou Lili and the four."
"Your grandfather and another grandfather of your family were killed by Zhou Lili and four people, and Grandpa Zhou Yuangeng was also seriously injured and almost died."
"And after I learned about this, I immediately took the initiative to divide most of the grain of my stepmother's family and send it to Zhou Yuangeng's grandfather's house and your other two families, and then, together with my Uncle Zheng Bang and my Uncle Tuesday, I tried to find a way to arrest Zhou Lili and his three cousins, so that they were all punished as they deserved."
"Subsequently, I mobilized Prince Kun and returned the silver to the king, and I got a total of one hundred taels of silver, all of which were given to the three of you."
"In the following years, I personally have been contributing money to sponsor the younger generations of your three families to go to school, my stepmother and my stepfather, according to them, will take out three hundred taels of silver every year to help each of your three families."
Speaking of this, she looked at Zhou Dayong and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle Tuesday, you are my stepmother's brother-in-law, you should know best what my stepmother and stepfather do, you tell me, do my stepmother and my stepfather take out three hundred taels of silver every year to help Zhou Meixing and their three families with one hundred taels each?" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Dayong nodded heavily.
What Zhou Meixing said just now not only chilled Xiao Qiongzhi's heart, but also his heart.
He knew everything that happened back then.
Xiao Qiongzhi and Chu Yunniang treated Zhou Meixing and their three families well, and he knew very well.
Moreover, Zhou Meixing usually seems to be full of reverence for Xiao Qiongzhi, and she is also very polite to Chu Yunniang, Zhou Dazhi and him.
He really never dreamed that Zhou Meixing was such a selfish person, and she was so insatiable.
"So, Brother Duoniu, Brother Shishan, you are the grandson of Grandpa Zhou Yuangeng, tell me, do my stepmother and my stepfather take out three hundred taels of silver every year to help each of your three families?"
