Chapter 026: A Failed Day Trip to the Capital
It was already the middle of the red sun, and it was the time for lunch, and a group of women took a sedan chair to eat in a nearby restaurant.
As soon as the person sat down, before the dishes were finished, he heard someone downstairs, as if a group of people were arguing: "Quickly clear out all the private rooms upstairs, our master wants to charter the field." ”
"Guest officer, this can't be done, there are still guests on this floor, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" The man snorted coldly, and then kicked the shopkeeper open, "Do you know what the identity of our master is?" Are you afraid that you are impatient? ”
The shopkeeper had never encountered this kind of splashing, so he got up and replied, "What does I care about his identity?" It's all at the feet of the Son of Heaven, isn't there a king's law? ”
As soon as the man heard this, he was about to raise his fist and beat someone, and many of his accomplices rushed in at the door, all of them were big-shouldered and round-waisted practitioners, and scared away the diners of a restaurant. Fortunately, the courtiers in the store rushed over, he has also been doing this for decades, what kind of guests have not seen in Beijing, seeing this person's clothes, he knew that he could not afford to be offended, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "The guest officer is angry, this kid has just come not long ago, he has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and please forgive me." ”
The man took a sip of the shopkeeper and called Chao Feng: "Listen, go and clear the upstairs immediately, otherwise you will smash your shop!" ”
Chao Feng nodded and coped, and lowered his voice to inquire: "I don't know the name of this lord of your family?" ”
"You are blind, our Cao Ye is the nephew of Lord Shoufu, don't you serve well, believe it or not, let you go to the prison of the Criminal Department?"
When Chao Feng heard this, his eyes rolled, as if he was about to faint, but fortunately, the shopkeeper behind him helped him.
Wang Yuanxi is a person, when he is the first assistant of the court, one person is above ten thousand people. With this powerful uncle, Cao Rupan has always bullied men and women in the capital, and he can stop children from crying at night. The people of Pingtou avoided it like a plague, and the princes and magnates had to bow their heads and flatter when they saw it.
Hearing this, the three ladies upstairs all looked frightened, and the third lady Lang was the least daring, so panicked to climb Aunt Ming's arm, wishing that there was a hole to drill into.
Although the two sisters Feng Yongying didn't know what was going on, they knew that something was wrong when they saw everyone sitting on pins and needles.
Aunt Ming was the first to react and hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly, we can't afford to offend this person." ”
Everyone hurriedly packed up their things, lowered their footsteps and went down the stairs, and it happened that a person came in at the door, wearing a unicorn pattern silk round neck, with a fat body, and walking like a ball bouncing on the ground. It is said that fat people are white, but this person is pale, and it seems that there is a dredging at the moment, obviously excessive wine.
The group knew that he was Cao Rupan when they saw this, and they all held their breath when they passed by him, and they couldn't lower their heads any longer.
That Cao Rupan was a man among thousands of flowers, and he glanced at Yongning and his party casually, although he couldn't see his face, but just by Aunt Ming's graceful figure, he knew that this was a rare beauty.
Yongning walked ahead, and suddenly heard Aunt Ming screaming, and looked back in shock, it turned out that she was dragged out by Cao Rupan. Seeing this disciple with a lewd smile on his face, even if he was resolute in the inner house, Aunt Ming was instantly frightened.
Cao Rupan's saliva was about to stay: "Yo, beauty, where are you going?" ”
"You let go of me! Let me go! "Aunt Ming kept struggling, but fortunately, Cao Rupan was an empty shelf, and she couldn't help her for the time being.
"It's quite stubborn, stay and serve the master, the master will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold, and ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future!"
Aunt Ming only felt disgusting when she heard this, and she fluttered more and more, Cao Rupan's patience gradually lost, and she increased her strength to drag her into her arms.
There were a few left on the side, and the Lang clan was so frightened that they cried, and the two forces of the Daming clan trembled, and they were almost unstable. The Feng Yongying sisters hugged each other, like a pair of turtles with shrunken heads.
Yongning: "......"
still has to rely on her hero to save the beauty.
Yongning gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said to Cao Rupan in a mournful voice: "Official, we just came back from the Huimin Pharmacy in the suburbs of Beijing, and we are in a hurry to go home." ”
After saying that, she coughed a few more times, and her face turned red.
Recently, the border is not very peaceful, many people are displaced, refugees pour into Beizhili, all are stopped in the suburbs of Beijing, after a long time there was an outbreak of plague, countless deaths, so that the people in the city panic, Huimin Pharmacy is responsible for distributing medicines, the supply exceeds demand, and all the corpses are carried out.
Cao Rupan saw that Yongning was coughing, and immediately remembered this incident, his face suddenly turned into horror, and he hurriedly pulled back from Aunt Ming, rubbed his clothes twice, and took a few steps back at the same time: "You! You guys! ”
This is from the suburbs of Beijing, or has been to Huimin Pharmacy, if he Cao Rupan had known, he would not have avoided her three streets?
Aunt Ming is also smart, reacted, coughed a few times in a row, and pretended to be weak.
"What a bad luck!" It's no joke to be infected with the plague, Cao Rupan's face turned whiter with fright, and no matter how rare the beauty in front of him was, it became a pile of dung, how could he still have the mind to find flowers and ask willows, and he slipped into the sedan chair and went home, ready to invite a doctor.
Seeing that Cao Rupan and his gang were scattered, Yongning went up to help Aunt Ming, who was almost out of strength.
Aunt Ming has long lost her face, and it is estimated that she has loved beauty all her life, and she has never resented her beauty so much as she does today. Like a lost child, she intermittently muttered to Yongning: "I want to go back!" Send me back! ”
Yongning sent her to the sedan chair, and everyone returned to the Feng Mansion in silence.
Aunt Ming is a passer-by, and she has turned around a lot along the way. When everyone in the Hanging Flower Gate was about to disperse, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and instructed with some embarrassment: "This matter is so dangerous today, don't talk about it, after all, it doesn't sound good, and it will make the old lady worried." ”
Everyone promised on their faces, but they all knew in private that Aunt Ming was protecting her face, after all, she was molested on the street, and it was too ugly to say it.

The lantern was lit early in the pavilion, and Lang sat on the small circle chair in the room, staring straight out, but he couldn't find the focus. The maids only knew that the third lady had been in a state of confusion since she returned, and had already lit benzoin in the room.
Lang waited and waited, and finally waited for the third master, Feng Zhenglian, to come back. As soon as she saw Feng Zhenglian, she seemed to have found the backbone of her heart in an instant, and rushed into his arms in three steps and two steps, crying.
"What's wrong, Yunyun?" Feng Zheng called her name in a row. The couple are childhood sweethearts, and Lang has liked to listen to him call himself like this since he was a child, as if there is endless tenderness and sweetness between his lips and teeth.
"I'm scared!" Lang was frightened during the day.
Feng Zhenglian knew that she had always been timid, so he asked her softly like a child, "What happened?" ”
Lang cried and told Feng Zhenglian what had happened before. Feng Zheng's face was as cold as frost after hearing this, he was an official in the court, how could he not know that Wang Yuanxi's family could not be able to do things that lost their conscience. When his simple and helpless wife met the cow ghost snake god-like Cao Rupan, he felt scared when he thought about it.
"Don't be afraid," Feng Zhenglian comforted Lang, "Isn't it okay now, my husband is here." ”
Lang rubbed his head into his arms: "It's good to have you, husband, otherwise the concubine doesn't know what to do." ”
"Don't worry, I'm here no matter what, don't be afraid! When you were a child, you were afraid of the dark and didn't dare to walk at night, but I also held your hand in front of you and walked step by step. ”
Lang remembered the past, he was very nostalgic, and sighed: "So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, from Yunyun's sister to his wife, the concubine seems to be inseparable from her husband." ”
Feng Zhenglian smiled and pulled her towards the courtyard. There happened to be a tree planted there, and a vine climbed on it, and the two were close to each other.
He said, "You don't think we look like this." ”
"You've got me, I've got you!" Lang's smile was like a flower, "No one can leave anyone!" ”
Yes, no one can live without anyone. Feng Zhenglian sighed in his heart, he felt that the company with the Lang family over the years had quickly become a habit.
The two leaned on each other and were silent for a long time.
"Sir!"
A guy came over and broke the peace. Feng Zhenglian turned his head, saw that he was holding a letter in his hand, and said to the Lang family: "You go in first." ”
Seeing Feng Zhenglian's face become serious, Lang blinked curiously, thinking that maybe it was his official business, so he walked back to the house step by step.
Feng Zhenglian opened the letter, looked at the white and black letters, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted together like knots.
