Chapter 20: Saving the Scholar Halfway
It's best that her cousin is disgusted with Su Xinruo from now on, in that case, she can monopolize her cousin alone...... Coupled with the old lady behind her back, how could she not be in trouble?
"What? You say she goes out frequently to steal men? Liu Kunhao stood up angrily, and suddenly pushed Huang Sumei next to him away, staring at Huang Sumei tightly with a pair of eyes, as if she was Su Xinruo, as if she was stealing a man, "Are you serious?" Is there any evidence? “
Liu Kunhao is a traditional man, and it is a very embarrassing thing to steal a man in the Jin Kingdom. A few days ago, he also gossiped with his colleagues, saying that another colleague was impeached, because one of his concubines was stealing men outside, and he was discovered, which made the whole capital know, and said that if he can't manage his own family, how can he manage other people? So that colleague had no choice but to return to his hometown...... In fact, he himself was disgraced and stayed among his colleagues.
If Su Xinruo really steals a man, where will he put this face? Absolutely not.
Huang Sumei was taken aback by Liu Kunhao's sudden anger, she immediately put on a smile and gently grabbed Liu Kunhao and said, "Cousin...... Husband...... My cousin is just worried, think about it, what about that person, she doesn't look bad, and she has never been taught by her mother, she has been showing her face outside since she was a child, and she is different from our scholarly young lady, she ...... She goes out so frequently, isn't it just to attract bees and butterflies? Even if she wasn't a thief this time, but she was swaggering in public like this, she thought she was still a girl from the Su family, she was now married, she was already a member of the Liu family, and she didn't keep her duty. “
Hearing Huang Sumei's words, he was absolutely right about his cousin, Su Xinruo has already married into the Liu Mansion, there is nothing necessary, how can he grow old? It's only been a few days, I went to my mother's house once, and I went out to see what Zhuangzi, just as his cousin said, didn't Su Xinruo deliberately go outside to show off? also went to Zhuangzi in the countryside, this is really showing his face...... No, he wants to arrest Su Xinruo back. Thinking of this, he immediately tidied up his clothes and said, "Cousin, you're right, if she really steals a man, it will be my entire Liu Mansion that will be disgraced, and I can't raise my head among my colleagues, I'll go and arrest her right now, I want my mother to teach her more, how to be a good daughter-in-law!" As soon as he had finished speaking, the man went to the door.
"Huh? Cousin ......" Huang Sumei was stunned for a moment, she was originally talking and arranging Su Xinruo, but now how did she become her husband and follow Su Xinruo...... She quickly stood up and wanted to hold Liu Kunhao, but unfortunately Liu Kunhao had already left her room.
Huang Sumei looked at Liu Kunhao's back, and couldn't help but stomp her feet, looking like she couldn't regret it, why did she say this? Even if you really want to say such a thing, you have to wait until tomorrow, today is finally the time for my cousin to take a break, I thought I could be with my cousin today, who knows a few words, my cousin is angry and goes to Su Xinruo...... She really regretted it, she didn't mention such a question if she knew it......
It is said that Su Xinruo took her subordinates and maids and walked towards her Zhuangzi in a majestic manner, naturally, she had already informed the steward of Zhuangzi before going.
The Zhuangzi at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the eastern suburbs of the capital is far away from Liu's mansion, and it takes at least two hours to walk by carriage, and naturally, the speed of this carriage is not very fast. If there is an emergency, hurry up, and it is estimated that it will be there in half an hour.
Naturally, the people she brought out this time were all her own people, even the people who drove the car were brought from her mother's house, so to speak, except for the mark on the car, it was the mark of Liu Mansion, and everything else had nothing to do with Liu Mansion.
Su Xinruo was closing her eyes and recuperating, she was thinking about what problems she would encounter when she went to Zhuangzi, how to deal with them, and what means to use to suppress those people? Just as she was about to think, the carriage suddenly stopped, and she opened her eyes. Turning his head to look at the green butterfly next to him.
Green Butterfly immediately understood Su Xinruo's intentions, and she walked outside...... Soon, Green Butterfly came back, with a tangled expression, and reported to Su Xinruo, "Miss, a dying person was found on the ground outside, and he seemed to be angry, it looked like a scholar who had entered Beijing to take the exam, maybe he was sick or hungry and fainted......" Green Butterfly actually felt that the scholar was hungry and faint, so her expression was a little strange.
"Since he is a scholar who has entered Beijing to take the examination, it is not easy for them, so you should tell them to take him to the carriage behind him, and take him to the Zhuangzi, and then see if the time comes, let the tenants take care of him, heal his injuries, and let him take the examination properly."
Su Xinruo felt that it was really not easy for people to rush for the exam, she had seen those who rushed to take the exam from far away places in her previous life, they sometimes had to set off three months in advance, and they might encounter robbers and scammers along the way...... Wait, it's not easy to help him for ten years, and it's just a gesture to help him.
Su Xinruo suddenly felt funny, he went out twice, and the first time he went to Su Mansion, he met the fourth prince Long Yuan and saved him. The second time I went out, I met a scholar, and she felt that this world was really unpredictable.
"Yes, Miss!" Green Butterfly nodded, walked out with a smile, and gave Su Xinruo's request to Cheng Ming, this Cheng Ming was the manager that Su Xinruo specially asked for from his brother Su Jianyu.
Cheng Ming is in his forties, and he has always followed Su Jianyu to do things, and he is shrewd and reliable, so Su Jianyu promoted him and asked him to help him take charge.
Cheng Ming directly asked people to help the scholar-like man to the carriage, and just wiped his face with a wet towel, and he woke up.
After drinking a few sips of water, eating the pancakes handed over by Cheng Ming, and eating three pieces in one go, he recovered his spirits.
"Thank you big brothers for saving me!" The scholar politely saluted Cheng Ming and the others in the carriage, "Xiaosheng Cao Wenfeng, a native of Jiangdong, is a scholar who came to the capital to take the exam, but he lost his burden a few days ago...... Fainted on the ground, thank you for the life-saving grace of the big brothers! I don't know what Big Brother is called? When he said this, his face was full of sincerity.
Cheng Ming looked at the scholar in front of him, although his face was wiped clean, but his body was dusty, about twenty years old, with a delicate face, his eyes were clear and distinct, and the essence of the inadvertent revelation made people dare not underestimate it. Under a pair of sword eyebrows, there is a pair of slender eyes, a tall nose, and moderately thick red lips with a faint smile at this time, and the whole person gives people the feeling that he is the kind of gentle and elegant reader, a humble gentleman.
His temperament is a bit similar to Liu Kunhao, but Liu Kunhao has the arrogance of a family disciple, which makes people feel that he is difficult to get close to.
But the scholar in front of him makes people feel kind, like a boy next door. It's just that he has nothing to do, and the clothes on his body seem to be torn, as he said, he may not have eaten enough and drunk water for several days......
"No need to thank us! My name is Cheng Ming! Cheng Ming waved his hand, "If you want to thank us, thank our master, it was our master who asked us to take you to the carriage!" “
"I don't know who the master of the eldest brother is?" Cao Wenfeng asked.
"Our master's name is General Su Yi's daughter!" Cheng Ming didn't say Su Xinruo's name, the girl's name, and wouldn't tell a stranger. However, because Cheng Ming saw Cao Wenfeng's appearance and clear eyes, he was polite, and he immediately liked this young man.
He has been a steward under Su Jianyu for so many years, and his vision has always been very unique, and he can see at a glance that the scholar named Cao Wenfeng in front of him is very promising, and he also wants to be close to him, so he doesn't mind telling him everything about his master.
Besides, his master saved him, which can be regarded as good karma.
"By the way, where are you going?" Cao Wenfeng stuck out his head and looked outside the carriage, which was a remote path with trees on both sides of the road, and there were no people living at all. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet these people, he would have fainted on the road with hunger...... Maybe you can just get sunburned.
Cao Wenfeng naturally knew who Su Yi was, Su Yi was a general, and he could be regarded as a model for children from poor families like them.
Su Yi started from scratch and became a general, which is an inspirational model for them poor people.
He raised his eyes and looked at the carriage in front of him, and at a glance, he knew that it was the carriage of the ladies of the rich and noble families, and it was estimated that the master of this big brother Cheng Ming was the person in the carriage in front.
However, since Su Yi's daughter, he naturally knows that her name is Su Xinruo. It's just that the sign on the carriage in front of it still has this Liu character written on it...... Could it be her husband's family?
"We're going to the eastern suburbs of the capital at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. Where is the master, there is a piece of Zhuangzi, and now he is planning to take it back! Cheng Ming replied with a slight frown.
"Oh? Looking at Brother Cheng's appearance, it seems that there is something inside? Cao Wenfeng looked at Cheng Ming's appearance suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, and he was afraid that he would be too abrupt, so his tone was very sincere, "Brother Cheng, you saved Xiaosheng Cao Wenfeng, Cao Wenfeng must be for your filial piety, Cao asked these things so abruptly, I just want to know if I can help you......"
"Little Brother Cao really has a heart...... Cheng Ming said to Cao Wenfeng, he said that the steward of this Zhuangzi is a person from the other side, and the person over there is a relationship with his master, but he is hostile.
I am going with my master to take back the initiative of this Zhuangzi......
After Cao Wenfeng listened, he and Cheng Ming began to discuss...... After listening to Cao Wenfeng's words, Cheng Ming looked at the man named Cao Wenfeng in front of him with surprised eyes: ordinary scholars, the scholars in the countryside he knew, were all people who didn't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages...... Basically, the so-called grains are not divided, and many people don't understand how to deal with things, and they are not tactful......
But the person in front of him spoke in a measured manner and understood a lot, and he proposed several solutions, and also listed the effects of each plan...... It's really a talent. It sounded like he didn't look like a scholar at all, but a businessman...... But what kind of family has cultivated people with both merchant talent and scholarly temperament?
Cheng Ming's doubts, Cao Wenfeng didn't know, Cao Wenfeng said that he wouldn't follow the carriage to Phoenix Mountain, his baggage was lost, his identity, documents, etc. were lost, and he had to rush to the capital to find a recommendation...... Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the exam.
