Chapter 17 The Gentleman
In the blink of an eye, the autumn leaves fell and dyed yellow.
Hongying just remembered that Xiangye's birthday was just around the corner.
She remembered that a few days ago, she saw the bustling scene on the streets of Kyoto, so she couldn't stay any longer, and in the name of congratulating her grandfather on his birthday and choosing gifts, she fooled Sima Ting and others to help her get out of the house and play on the streets.
Chu Luo was very dissatisfied with the girl's family running all over the street, so she forced Hongying to put on her beard and mix up Uncle Xiaoxiaomei, so she agreed to accompany her out of the house.
On this day, the sky was slightly overcast and breezy, but it did not affect the interest of the shoppers.
Hongying has already bought a handful of sugar gourds and eats them with relish.
Chu Luo despised her very much, and said: "It's a shame that you are an old uncle who actually eats sugar gourds, don't tell others that I know you!" ”
Hong Ying rolled her eyes: "I don't want to change from a young man to this uncle who everyone shouts at, I don't know who came up with this bad idea." ”
She said, looking enviously at Sima Yue's energetic and capable chivalrous clothes, pulling out perfect curves!
Sima Yan praised it: "Don't talk about the little sister's temperament, her figure is quite good!" Like a woman! ”
Sima Yue pulled up his shirt viciously, and said viciously: "Girl, I was originally a woman!" ”
There was a cry of ghosts and wolves, and the surrounding civilians scattered and fled.
Hong Ying continued to look at Sima Yue's delicate figure with envy, and then looked at her own standard short uncle's figure, and she was a little broken.
Chu Luo didn't forget to be sarcastic, and said, "Don't look at it, you won't grow up if you look at it again." ”
"The figure said to me, you are still too young, alas!" Hongying continued to gnaw on the sugar gourd decadently.
Chu Luo looked at her in a bad mood, and said, "It's just enough to shorten the distance between the two hearts!" ”
……
There was a moment of silence, and when the two came back to their senses, they found that they had been separated from Sima Ting and the others, and were squeezed to the city gate along the flow of people.
Inside and outside the city, there are completely two kinds of scenes, the people in the city are bustling, rich and prosperous, and the people outside the city are ragged, piled up in rows begging for alms.
Hong Ying's sharp eyes saw the begging figure squatting outside the city gate, and without thinking about it, she took Chu Luo's hand and walked towards the door.
The softness and coldness of Hongying's palm deeply stimulated Chu Luo's nerves, and he didn't reject it, letting her hold it like this, the different feeling of being stabbed on the back of his hand penetrated deep into his heart, and it was tingling.
"Ah Niu, why are you here?"
The thin man in ragged clothes is the person that Hongying often bullies: Ah Niu.
Ah Niu looked at her strangely, and couldn't remember when he met such a well-dressed person, he glared at Hongying, and said suspiciously: "This uncle, have pity on me, I haven't eaten for several days!" ”
"Ah Niu, it's me, I'm Hongying!" Hong Ying was in a hurry, let go of Chu Luo's hand, and tore off her beard.
Chu Luo's hand couldn't feel the awkward touch that made him feel a little lost, so he just stared at the bull.
"You're Hongying, you're really Hongying." Ah Niu was a little excited, and was about to stretch out his hand, but found that his hand was dark and dirty, and hurriedly shrank back.
Hong Ying didn't care about this, she took his hand and asked, "What happened?" How can you beg here? ”
Chu Luo's eyes almost wanted to pierce the hands of the two of them that had skin-to-skin contact, he couldn't help but shake off Ah Niu's hand and said to Hong Ying: "A few days ago, the Yongding River outside the capital had an autumn tide, flooding several towns and villages, and my grandfather has been running around for this matter for the past few days!" ”
Hong Ying's heart trembled, although the place in the countryside was not rich, but she had also stayed for ten years, and she had a different kind of local hatred there, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard such news at first glance.
Chu Luo was very considerate and let her lean on her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, once the flood passes, these people will be able to return to their hometowns!" ”
Hong Ying nodded and asked Chu Luo, "How many silver taels do you have?" ”
Chu Luo frowned: "One hundred taels." ”
"Lend me."
Chu Luo knew that she wanted to help the victims, so she didn't say anything, so she took out the silver ticket and handed it over.
Hongying handed the silver ticket to Ah Niu, Ah Niu didn't dare to take it, she said directly: "You took this silver ticket and exchanged it for some food with the villagers, you must be hungry." ”
Chu Luo pulled back the silver ticket, Hong Ying glared at him, but he said happily: "If you give him this silver ticket, it won't be long before it will be taken away by the gangsters in the city, and he still can't eat, so it's better for us to buy food and give it out one by one." ”
"You're still good enough!" Hongying nodded in praise of him, but asked, "But there are also one or two hundred people in the disaster, how can we move and eat?" ”
"Look at me."
Chu Luo smiled incomprehensibly, entered the city, took Hongying to a steamed bun shop, and said to the boss: "Pack a thousand steamed buns and send them to the city gate." ”
The boss saw that he was richly dressed and not like an ordinary son-in-law, so he said, "Wait a minute." ”
Chu Luo handed over the silver ticket and said, "Let the guy do it quickly, and send as many as you have now." ”
The boss took a closer look at the silver ticket, nodded and greeted the guy and said, "Close, we won't do side business today, there is a big deal!" ”
After that, he also hurried to steam steamed buns
The boss of the steamed bun shop looked at the money, and acted very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to transport more than 100 steamed buns, which were distributed by Hong Ying and Chu Luo one by one.
Ah Niu had a full stomach, and followed behind the two of them, handing out buns in an orderly manner.
The more and more people gathered, Sima Ting and others also heard the news, Sima Yue said with a smile: "I only heard that there are two living Bodhisattvas in the east of the city, and I came to see who is so rich, I never thought it was you." ”
"We are bodhisattvas, there are more and more victims, I am afraid that the steamed buns are not enough, we are already penniless, why do you have to give a little?" Hongying winked at them,
Sima Ting donated one hundred taels first, Sima Yan donated one hundred and fifty taels, Sima Yue Nunu said dissatisfiedly: "You don't want to raise prices!" ”
Saying so, Sima Yue still donated a sky-high price of three hundred taels!
They also brought such a little silver taels with them, Sima Yue felt that this saved the victims for a while, and the victims would not survive, so she proposed that Chu Luo go back to advise Xiangye and let him open the treasury for soup kitchen.
Chu Luo felt that this was a good idea, as long as they survived the disaster, the victims could return to their hometowns safely.
Not all the children of wealthy families are as compassionate as them, not all the children of the Bodhisattva are pretentious, when the disciples of the Bodhisattva give alms of steamed buns, the disciples of the Bodhisattva like to come forward and stir.
Lin Bingchen, the third son of the Lin family, the first wealthy family in Kyoto, made an appointment with the children of the gentlemen to ride a horse for an outing, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw a mighty figure and blocked the city gate.
Lin Bingchen's horse raised its head high, ignoring the people under his feet, and galloped all the way to the city gate.
He raised his voice and shouted, "Who dares to block Young Master Ben's way? ”
Chu Luo frowned, looking at Lin Bingchen's playboy appearance with his robe crooked, he was slightly displeased, and he didn't want to pay attention to him.
Instead, Sima Ting stood up and said, "Who are you?" How dare you deliberately set a horse in the city and injure people's lives? ”
Lin Bingchen laughed and said: "Young Master Ben is the first in Kyoto: Lin Bingchen, the third young master of the Lin family, when he sees Young Master Ben, he doesn't give way quickly, otherwise he will blame Young Master Ben for being ruthless!" ”
"What a Lin family, what an arrogant gentleman!" Sima Ting just smiled, and his smile made Lin Bingchen have an ominous premonition.
Hong Ying likes to watch the excitement the most, she hurriedly took a step back, and giggled: "I heard that the Lin family is the number one wealthy family, I'm so afraid!" ”
"That's right, this kind of gentleman is most afraid that others are not afraid of him!" Sima Yue also teased.
The crowd laughed, and even the people of the city gathered and stared at how these good Samaritans had died.
"You guys!" Lin Bingchen was completely enraged, raised his horsewhip at Sima Ting, and threw it out fiercely.
The corners of Sima Ting's lips hooked up a smile, his left foot stepped forward, his right hand firmly caught his long whip, and violently pulled Lin Bingchen off the horse's back, and as soon as his hand was released, Lin Bingchen rolled to the ground in embarrassment.
Sima Yan is naturally as far away as he can hide at this time, he is not as good as the eldest brother and third sister, as long as he shouts slogans and lets them charge into battle to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
In the past, he was the only one in the camp of this shameless villain, but this time there was one more Hong Ying, who looked bad, and hid behind Chu Luo, cheering: "Brother Ting, come on!" Smashed Lin Bingchen into a turtle bastard! ”
Sima Yan has a kind of affection for Hong Ying, and secretly sighs why he didn't know Hong Ying, a confidante earlier? also shouted: "The turtle king bastard is too cheap for him, why do you have to rape and kill a hundred times, a hundred times!" ”
"Well, by the way, chop up the root of his sin, so that he can't be humane!" Hongying's shout silenced even the devouring victims.
Quiet, silent, very quiet, so quiet that you can only hear Lin Bingchen's wailing and scolding voice: "You bastards, how dare you do this to Young Master Ben, hey...... And what are you stupid people doing stupidly, Young Master Ben raised you for nothing, kill them for Young Master Ben, hey......"
Among them, there is a gentleman who knows Sima Ting, and said cautiously: "The person who threw you away in front is Sima Ting, the grandson of General Sima, Sima Ting, let's withdraw quickly." ”
Sima Yue naturally didn't want this fight to be fought, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "You recognize the wrong person, he is not my brother, oh, he is not Sima Ting, come, let's fight." ”
As soon as she came out, many people gasped, and even a gentleman like Lin Bingchen thought of her identity and was so frightened that they wanted to run for their lives.
Sima Yue is a figure that even his Lin family's big backer, Pingnan Wang Jinhuai, is not afraid of!
There is even more young master who stood up, helped him up, and said: "Time is not waiting, if I guess correctly, they are the young master of the Sima family and the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the person who hid behind Chu Luo and dressed as a man, I am afraid that she is a 'desperate beauty' who was in the limelight some time ago, she even dared to beat Jin Xiangxiang, let alone our group of people?" If we don't leave, I'm afraid we will really respond to what she said, and we won't be humane......"
