Zhang Yue put the pastry in the old man who sold sugar, followed the hooligans to chase, Zhang Yue followed for a while and did not see a few hooligans, was looking around, he heard the woman's shouting from the alley next to him, Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped into the alley, and saw that the woman was pressed to the ground, her hands and feet were held down by several men, and the big yellow teeth pressed the girl, and the girl's clothes had been torn open.

Zhang Yue felt that the blood in her whole body rushed to her brain, and when she saw a long bamboo pole for drying clothes next to the alley, she picked up the bamboo pole and rushed over, "Stop, you beasts!" As he spoke, he hit the bamboo pole.

Seeing this, Big Yellow Tooth and several men dodged one after another, but the alley was narrow and narrow, and they couldn't dodge, Zhang Yue's bamboo pole specialized in hitting the head, neck, shoulders and other soft places and sore spots, and after a while, several people were beaten by Zhang Yue with a bamboo pole and their faces were covered with blood, Big Yellow Tooth and others knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, Zhang Yue didn't seem to hear it, and beat for a while, seeing that several people were already injured, he stopped his hand and scolded angrily, "Get out!" A few people ran away.

Zhang Yue saw a few people walking away and threw away the bamboo pole. He ran over, took off his coat, put it on the girl, and then picked up the girl, and called, "Don't be afraid, girl, they have all run away." ”

The girl's eyes were full of tears, still frightened, and suddenly realized that the front of her clothes was open, and she was seen by the man in front of her, and quickly covered her chest in horror.

Zhang Yue knew that the girl had misunderstood, so she held the girl's shoulder and whispered, "Girl, don't misunderstand, I am actually a woman." As he spoke, he took the girl's hand and put it in his arms.

The girl withdrew her hand in surprise, and her emotions slowly calmed down, "You, too, are women?!" ”

Zhang Yue comforted her, "Yes, so don't be afraid, hurry up and put on your clothes." How did those people find you? ”

The girl put on her clothes again, and her mood was much more stable, and she replied, "After I was separated from you, I wanted to go to some antique shops to pick up ancient jade, but the swindler actually brought a few people to chase me and dragged me into this alley, which scared me to death. Thanks to you, girl, I don't know what your name is? ”

Zhang Yue said, "My name is Zhang Yue, and I live in Beijing, I don't think you are from the Central Plains?" ”

The girl said, "My name is Gu Li, I am from Hami, and I went to Beijing with my father this time to do business. ”

"Oh, I told you to hurry home just now, why did you go to find Gu Yu by yourself? Or do you want to give it to someone you think is important? ”

"Well, I, I'm going to give it to my sweetheart, he likes the Central Plains culture very much, especially Guyu, I have liked him since I was a child, but I have never dared to say it."

Gu Li pursed her lips and said firmly, "This time my father said that he would take me to Daming together, and I agreed without hesitation, just to buy an ancient jade from the Central Plains and give it to him when I go back to express my heart to him." ”。

Zhang Yue looked at Gu Li's serious appearance, and suddenly felt a little moved, is this love? It's silly but cute, "You're frightened, will you go back to your accommodation today?" ”

Gu Li shook her head, "No, I haven't found Gu Yu yet." ”

Zhang Yue blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "I'll help you choose, but I'm really busy these days, ten days later, you wait for me at the door of the antique shop Brewing Guxuan on Dongping Street in the capital, I have been to this shop once, there are some real things, maybe we can get lucky and find a piece of ancient jade." I'll be on time for my appointment. ”

Gu Li said in surprise, "Really?!" Would you like to help me. ”

Zhang Yue pointed to Gu Li's placket and said with a smile, "You have met me honestly, I can't be responsible for you, can I not help you!" ”

Gu Li seemed to understand and said, "What kind of frank meeting? I don't understand the language of your Han Chinese, but I believe you! ”

Zhang Yue instructed Gu Li a few more words, Zhang Yue originally planned to send Gu Li back to her residence, but Gu Li politely declined, and the two separated. Zhang Yue returned to the mouth of the candy seller Hutong before, retrieved the osmanthus cake, and saw that the old man who sold the sugar had been waiting for him to come back, and he was a little moved in his heart, so he bought the few remaining sugar men of the old man. specially gave the old man who sold the candy some money, and the old man thanked him and left.

When Zhang Yue returned to the Li Mansion, the sky was already a little dark, and a carriage was parked in front of the Li Mansion, and the carriage was quite luxuriously decorated. Zhang Yue thought to himself, it seems that the senior brother has another guest to visit. Zhang Yue didn't have time to think about it, just entered the gate, a few people came in front of him, and when he got closer, it was Li Dongyang who came out with Ji Rumo, followed by his entourage. Zhang Yue shouted excitedly, "Master Ji, you came to senior brother to appreciate the painting again?" ”

Ji Rumo stopped, a trace of joy quickly flashed in his eyes, nodded towards Zhang Yue and said, "There are some things to discuss with Dongyang today, and I heard Dongyang say that Xiao Wu is not in the house, and I thought that I would not have a chance to meet today." ”

Li Dongyang looked at Zhang Yue's abrupt body and frowned, "Xiao Wu, where did you run today?" How do you get disgraced? ”

"Senior brother, today's story is wonderful, I met a hooligan bullying a girl from a good family on the street, so I saw injustice and pulled out a knife to help..."

Li Dongyang exclaimed, "You got into a fight with someone else?!" ”

Zhang Yue explained, "Senior brother can't do it if he doesn't make a move, that hooligan is too bullying!" ”

Li Dongyang shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Yue saw Ji Rumo looking at him funny, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Rumo, I haven't given you any money last time I bought your painting, I haven't been home recently, and I don't have so much money in my hand. ”

A yin and yang weird voice came from behind Ji Rumo, "My son-in-law's paintings are worth a thousand gold, and you will be interested in a few boxes of broken pastries!" Hum! ”

Zhang Yue followed the sound and saw that the person standing behind Ji Rumo was Xiao Jing, his attendant in the academy, "Aren't you Ah Jing who accompanied Rumo to the academy before?" Long time no see! You didn't come last time, it was that Mu Bin who came, I thought your job was smashed and you were fired? ”

"You-" Xiao Jingqi's face turned green.

"Ah Jing!" Ji Rumo stopped Xiao Jing.

"Little Wu, how do you treat Gong Xiao... Xiao Ye speaks! So rude! Li Dongyang also lightly scolded Zhang Yue.

Ji Rumo looked at the pastry in Zhang Yue's hand, "Then thank you Xiao Wu." Zhang Yue hurriedly handed it over. Ji Rumo took it and turned around and handed it to Xiao Jing, Ji Rumo turned to Li Dongyang and said, "Dongyang, don't bother today." ”

Li Dongyang bowed and saluted, "Send Ji Gongzi." ”

Ji Rumo nodded slightly, took Xiao Jing out of the house and got into the carriage and left.

Zhang Yue looked at the back of the carriage and Li Dongyang's humble appearance, and asked curiously, "Senior brother, what kind of son is Rumo?" Why are you so whispering to him. It will damage the prestige of our talented people in the capital! ”

Li Dongyang patted Zhang Yue's head with his hand, "You, you don't choose what to say for a day, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, come in, your sister-in-law is waiting for you to eat." After that, the rate went to the house. Zhang Yue touched his head, with some doubts about Rumo's identity in his heart, and also entered the mansion with his senior brother.

The afterglow of the setting sun in the distance reflected the clouds in the red sky, weaving into a beautiful brocade that adorned the sky and the earth.
