Chapter 33: Heartlessness

"I'm fine," Shi Zhongzhu asked, "Ah Hua, are you looking for me?" ”

Wen Wenhua blushed and handed over a bottle: "Here, this medicine is for bruises, can you try it?" ”

"Good!" Shi Zhongzhu took the medicine bottle, and saw that Gentle Flower had no intention of leaving, and suddenly realized: "By the way, Ah Hua, how much is your medicine?" I'll go get it to you. ”

"No... No, even if I gave you this medicine! As she spoke, her face turned redder and redder for some reason.

"How does this work?" Shi Zhongzhu didn't notice the change in Gentle Flower's face.

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Jingxuan had already walked over: "Zhongzhu, Ah Hua said that it was given to you, so naturally he won't ask for money."

Besides, with my relationship with Ah Hua, shouldn't she come to send a bottle of medicine to my person? ”

Wen Wenhua didn't refute, just looked at Zhou Jingxuan and smiled, and then told Shi Zhongzhu a few words before turning around and leaving.

Here Zhou Jingxuan was proud for a long time: I didn't expect that I had just come and captured the heart of a girl, it seems that this is the right place.

That day, I heard the guests talking about it: The talented women and beauties selected by the imperial court from all over the world have been coming to the city one after another in the past few days......!

It turns out that the current emperor, Emperor Qinglong, has always loved beauty more than he loves Jiangshan, so the Internal Affairs Office will hold a general election every five years.

In August of this year, it is time to select beauties in the palace and fill the harem.

Although it has reached the autumn equinox, the aftermath of the scorching heat still lingers in the air of this bustling capital, with a bit of depressing suffocation.

Although the air is irritable, it does not stop people's curious nature.

The streets of the capital are very festive these days, and this big internal draft is a great opportunity for carp to jump into the dragon gate, which one doesn't want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? Who doesn't want to glorify the portal?

Even if you don't have that numerology, maybe you can still see the beauty on this street?

As soon as he rested, Zhou Jingxuan pulled Shi Zhongzhu and went to the street to see the excitement.

Although it was afternoon, the streets were already bustling and overcrowded.

For today, another carriage carrying a beautiful woman entered the city. The commander-in-chief, Qianhe, is leading his men to maintain order on the streets.

Just as this group of carriages was about to walk in front of Zhou Jingxuan and them. A figure rushed out of the spur, pushed away the barrier and came to the carriage, and shouted: "Sister! Where are you? ”

Zhou Jingxuan recognized this person as Jin Yongan, wearing a gray robe, and was rushing forward anxiously.

Before they could react, the spears of several soldiers were already on his neck.

Jin Yongan didn't care about it, and still shouted: "Sister, sister! Come home with my brother! ”

Several carriages, which had been walking well, were disturbed by this, and they all stopped.

This team of people is the beautiful woman who was sent to the palace in Changzhou, and the leader of the team is the county commander of Changzhou Linghu Peng, who is a shrewd man of thirty or forty years old.

The journey was smooth, he was complacent, thinking that as long as he entered the capital, even if he completed the task, maybe he could still get the emperor's favor!

I didn't expect to be stopped as soon as I arrived in the capital, this trip to the capital is really off to a bad start!

His hands trembled so hard that he almost tore off the lock of beard that made him so proud.

After taking a deep breath to stabilize and reconcile his emotions, he got out of the carriage: "Who are you?" Why did you stop the chariot of the judge?

Also, the women in my car are all voluntarily entering the capital, and there is no coercion, what is the purpose of you doing this? ”

Jin Yongan had already been pressed to his knees by the soldiers, and his delicate handsome face turned red because of nervousness or excitement: "This adult, the grass people's sister is young and ignorant, and she can't help but say a few flattering words, so she secretly ran out and said that she wanted to enter the palace!"

The grass people met her all the way to the capital, hoping that the adults would be gracious, and let her go back for the sake of her young and ignorant! ”

Sweet talk? Cajole? No way!

Ling Hupeng only hesitated for a moment, and then became angry: "You are talking nonsense! This official never does such a bully! ”

Besides, if you want to run for election, can anyone enter Beijing if they want to run for election? It's all sent by the noble family, and I haven't heard of any of them, but they were coerced.

Ling Hupeng turned to the soldiers: "Can you tolerate this drunkard talking nonsense at the feet of this Son of Heaven?" ”

Just as a few soldiers were about to drag this person away, they heard a coquettish voice: "Slow! ”

Out of a carriage was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, as elegant as a pink carving.

I saw that she was slightly blessed by Linghu County, and then walked to Jin Yongan. A pair of big black eyes have long been misty, and they are more and more moving: "Brother! ”

Jin Yongan broke free from the soldier and stepped forward to hold his sister tightly in his arms: "Xin'er, go home with my brother!" ”

Maybe it was her brother who hugged her too tightly and made her uncomfortable, and the girl who called Xin'er pushed it a few times before pushing Jin Yongan away.

Looking at the haggard brother in front of him, two lines of tears had already burst out of his eyes: "Brother, for the sake of her mother's ......, Xin'er has only this way to go!" Brother, can you forgive Xin'er? ”

"Not good!" Jin Yongan was heartbroken and wanted to pull his sister, but Shi Zhongzhu next to him hurriedly came over and grabbed him: "Jin Yongan!" Calm down! ”

Jin Yongan couldn't break free from his companion, so he had to roar sadly: "Xin'er, as long as you step into that palace gate, your life will be over!" Xin'er, listen to my brother, let's go back first and then figure out a way, okay? ”

Xin'er cried heartbreakingly, but she didn't make a sound.

Jin Yongan was anxious: "If you are disobedient, I will not recognize you as a sister!" ”

He turned to Shi Zhongzhu, who had been pulling him, and begged angrily: "Brother Shi, please let me go quickly!"

Shi Zhongzhu is no matter how Jin Yongan struggles, he just won't let go.

"Good! In that case, let's break off from now on! After Xin'er bit her lip and said this, her heart was already bleeding.

She forcibly saluted Ling Hupeng again: "Please let Linghu go for the sake of the people's daughter, let him go?"

Along the way, this girl named Zhao Xinyue was knowledgeable, well-behaved and quiet, which made Ling Hu Peng very satisfied. Seeing her pleading for Brother Ling today, her heart suddenly softened: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, the old man agrees!"

After Zhao Xinyue thanked her softly, she didn't look at her brother and walked straight towards the carriage.

Seeing his sister go away ruthlessly, Jin Yongan was helpless and helpless, and couldn't help kneeling on the ground and crying like a child:

"Mother, the child is not filial! The child didn't protect his sister! The child is sorry for the mother's spirit in the sky, the child is the sinner of the Jin family! ”

Shi Zhongzhu kept pleading with the soldiers on the side, and pulled Jin Yongan off the road.

The soldiers let them go.

Seeing Jin Yongan crying hoarsely, Shi Zhongzhu ignored the strange eyes of others, sat quietly beside Jin Yongan, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him not to be sad, maybe things were not as bad as he imagined.
