Chapter 11 Night Pedestrians

Qiao Youqing walked to an intact wooden table, dragged out a long wooden bench by himself, and sat down calmly before slowly saying, "Wang Ninggongzi, I'm afraid you misunderstood, right?" When has I ever been arrogant? If you want to be arrogant, who can compare to your prince? ”

At this time, the back hall of the small wine shop trembled out of the two of them, and when they looked at the costumes, they knew that it was the wine shop manager and the shopkeeper, Wang Ning was worried that there was nowhere to get angry, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Look at what you see, get away!" ”

Qiao Youqing hurriedly said: "Slow! Anyway, I'm also a guest, and I don't even greet tea, so that's how you treat you? ”

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at Wang Ning cautiously, and then at Qiao Youqing. Wang Ning is used to being arrogant, although they don't know Qiao Youqing, but they can secretly see the fight just now, this is a master. And looking at his aura, Wang Ning didn't seem to dare to be too presumptuous when facing him, and they didn't know who to listen to for a while.

Wang Ning waved his hand, dragged a stool and sat down, shouting, "Why don't you hurry up?" Lao Tzu is also thirsty! ”

Qiao Youqing smiled slightly and said: "Look at it, the Zhao family is a scholarly family, and you are a person who reads, just your appearance as a market hooligan, it is really insulting!" ”

Wang Ning wanted to refute, but he couldn't find words for a long time, and after glancing at Qiao Youqing, he had to 'hum', put down one leg on the stool, learned Qiao Youqing's sitting posture, and pretended to say: "It's not your turn to preach, do you think I won't?" I'm just showing another side of me, how can I say that I also studied in the Zhao Family School back then. The surname is Joe, how many days have you been here? Just trying to snatch my daughter-in-law? ”

Qiao Youqing laughed and said, "Prince of the Wang family, are you misunderstanding again?" First of all, Miss Huiyi is not your daughter-in-law, and your family affairs are set by the elders. Secondly, it also depends on whether Miss Huiyi is willing or not, right? If you persecute her with the 'order of your parents', do you think she will be happy? Do you want someone you like to be depressed for the rest of your life? In addition, what belongs to you, no one else can take it away no matter what; If it doesn't belong to you, what's the point of you forcibly stealing it? ”

At this time, the housekeeper and the shopkeeper made a pot of tea and brought a plate of refreshments, and now they understood that the feelings of these two sons were 'fighting' for the girl of the Zhao family, especially the shopkeeper, who instantly cast a 'admiration' look, and even the fiancΓ©e of their young owner Wang Ning dared to rob it......

"That...... Shaodong, this son...... Would you like a good pot of wine? The steward asked.

Wang Ning was about to speak, but Qiao Youqing preemptively said: "Forget it, the wine must be drunk at the right time, the place and the place, and the others; Here and now, this situation, including people, is not very suitable! ”

Wang Ning waved his hand, sent the two away, and said, "The surname is Qiao, I'm too lazy to talk to you, what do you want?" ”

Qiao Youqing said: "It's very simple, you like Miss Huiyi, and I also have a good impression of her; But it's up to her, she's in charge of her own affairs, and none of us have the right to make any decisions for her! So, you know what I mean, right? ”

Wang Ning snorted again and said, "Okay, surnamed Qiao, then let's go and see, each with his own ability." ”

Qiao Youqing took out the money bag and was about to call the shopkeeper and the manager, Wang Ning pouted and said, "Excuse me, there is no shortage of your sons in this store......"

Qiao You smiled heartily, shook his wrist, threw out a few coppers with a 'whoosh', and said, "Thank you for the 'hospitality' of the prince of the Wang family, but Qiao Mou has always had his own principles!" ”

"Don't send it!" Wang Ning didn't reply.

After Qiao Youqing left, the shopkeeper took the tools to clean up the broken table. It's just that he couldn't pick out a few coppers that infested the table, and finally took a knife to pry it out little by little. Wang Ning stood up, looked back and forth at his dress, then straightened his clothes, flicked his sleeves, and asked the shopkeeper and Xiaoer, "Look, do I look like a scholar?" ”

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper twitched his expression, and said in his heart: "Just your virtue, like a ghost, if you want to say that Qiao Gongzi looks similar!" But they did not dare to say it with ten of their guts. Instead, he said with a smile on his face: "Like, if you change your clothes, put on a pair of Western glasses, and take a fan or a book, it will be more perfect?" ”

Wang Ning bared his teeth and smiled, and said, "Well, in fact, I also thought about it, okay, it's okay, you guys go get busy first." ”

The next day, after Qiao Youqing and Zhao Huiyi met, they hurriedly said goodbye. Qiao Youqing received the news that Qiao Shijie would rush from Chengdu to Chongqing in a few days, and as for what Qiao Youqing saw and heard along the way, Rong will talk about it later.

At night that night, it suddenly rained, and listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Zhao Huiyi had a lot of thoughts. At this farewell, she suddenly felt that the world was 'empty', neither walking, nor sitting, and I don't know where he was at this time? Have you avoided this sudden night rain? I wonder when he'll come back?

Come back? No! This is not his home, how can he say 'come back'? After tossing and turning all night, it was really difficult to sleep, and it was not easy to stay up this sad and sultry night. The next day, Zhao Huiyi wandered alone on the street they walked together, and when she walked to the wind and rain covered bridge again, she couldn't help but think of the poem Qiao Youqing wrote casually.

"The wind and rain are especially meaningful, and the shadows of the clouds and trees in the ancient town are scarce......

"Miss Zhao, Xiaosheng is so polite......"

Just when she was smiling at the corner of her mouth, immersed in the warm happiness of that scene, she suddenly heard a shrill voice behind her. It felt like pinching your voice, singing rather than singing, and dragging a long tail note. Looking back, she was stunned at first, and then laughed, which was very different from her usual ladylike image.

Now Wang Ning was happy in her heart, usually Zhao Huiyi ignored him every time she saw him, and she looked like she couldn't avoid it, but today she not only laughed, but also laughed so disregarding her image.

The main reason is that Zhao Huiyi associated Wang Ning's outfit with the usual 'gentleman', which seems to be really funny. I have been bored and panicked for the past two days, and someone said that it was okay to talk, so he immediately asked: "It turned out to be Wang Gongzi, I don't know what Wang Gongzi is making trouble about?" ”

Wang Ning was dressed as a scholar, with a folding fan pinned to his waist, a thread-bound book in his hand, and a pair of Western glass glasses hanging down, and a little further down was almost to the tip of his nose. He thought for a moment, as if to organize the wording, before replying, "Girl...... Cough...... Miss Zhao didn't know anything, in fact, Xiaosheng had always been a Sven, but she was forced to pretend to be a scoundrel...... Pretending to be ......"

Zhao Huiyi smiled lightly and said, "Gentleman ......"

Wang Ning smiled and said, "Well, yes, yes, I was about to say that, but I didn't think of you...... Miss Zhao, you speak up first! ”

Zhao Huiyi put away her smile and said seriously: "Okay, you better speak normally, to be honest, who made you do this?" ”

"No ......" seemed to be afraid that Zhao Huiyi would be angry, Wang Ning hurriedly changed his words and said: "Actually, it's me, I heard that Huiyi, you appreciate 'cultural people' more, your family is a scholarly family, and only 'cultural people' are worthy of you!" If it's too rude, it's really insulting. ”

Zhao Huiyi asked, "Who told you these words?" ”

"It's not ......" Wang Ning just wanted to deny it, but when he saw Zhao Huiyi's sharp gaze, he held back the words that came to his mouth.

"It's the ...... with the surname Joe"

"Qiao Youqing, what does he mean?"

"I don't know ...... either"

"What did you all say that day?" Zhao Huiyi was a little annoyed, she didn't understand why Qiao Youqing would give this 'gentleman' a trick? Does he want to obey his parents' orders and marry this Wang Ning who she has no feelings for?

Wang Ning said: "Actually, I wanted to teach him a lesson that day, but I didn't expect him to have good kung fu, although he was still a little worse than me, but I, who was generous and kind-hearted, couldn't bear to bully him." Probably he was also afraid of being beaten, so he proposed to make peace, and told me not to try to snatch you. I reprimanded him righteously and rhetorically: It's your thing, others can't take it away, it's not yours, it's useless to grab it, Huiyi's affairs should be her own decision, and no one has the right to make decisions for her. Later, the surname Qiao said, that's good, we all rely on our abilities and compete fairly, whoever wins Huiyi is whoever. ”

Zhao Huiyi was angry when she heard this, and said angrily: "What are you and me? Also competitive! Who gave you the power? ”

After Zhao Huiyi finished speaking, she turned around angrily and left, Wang Ning called her, only to hear her shout: "Don't follow me, you nasty men!" ”

Wang Ning muttered in frustration: "This broken mouth, don't talk nonsense if you can't speak, it's messed up now......"

It is said that Qiao Youqing set off from the ancient town that day and passed through Qianjiang County; This Qianjiang county can be regarded as having gone through vicissitudes, it has been renamed several times since the Ming and Qing dynasties alone, and the Ming Dynasty set up 'guarding thousands of households' when garrisoning, and the county office is set up side by side, and both civil and military are governed. In the first year of Kangxi, thousands of households were changed to 'Qianpeng Camp', and the five surrounding Tusi were also under the jurisdiction of the surrounding five Tusi, Yongzheng changed the county to 'Wan' in the fourth year, Yongzheng was promoted to 'Qianpeng Zhili Wan' in the twelfth year, Yongzheng in the thirteenth year, Youyang Tusi 'changed the soil and returned to the stream', placed 'Youyang Zhili Prefecture', abolished Qianpeng Zhili Wan, and restored the county name and belonged to Youyang Zhili Prefecture.

In addition to purchasing the necessary items on the road, Qiao Youqing did not stop in the county seat, and when he arrived at the periphery of the Wuling Mountains, it was already dusk, and the sunset would pull a unique silhouette of one person and one horse. I'm afraid that if I can't wait to get out of the Wuling Mountain Boundary, it will be dark.

Qiao Youqing hurried up, wanting to rush to the next post station before dark. In other words, it is also called 'Tangpu', the post station is still the previous name, after the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed the post road as 'Guanma Road', and what we now call 'Ma Road' is referred to as this abbreviation. Since ancient times, China has used horses and carriages as means of transportation, and it is appropriate to call these wide roads roads. Some admirers have to confuse the word "road" with the origin of "road" in Yizhi, even if the development of transportation is based on the method of building roads in Mardan, it is not called "road", but "road".
