Chapter 304: The City Lord of Chuyang
This strong man has a full beard, a pair of big eyes, dark skin, eight feet tall, and calluses on his hands.
Seeing the thin "family members" in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in the strong man's eyes, and he looked at the horse lane: "I am Li Sheng, the general who guards the city of Chuyang City, there are some problems with your documents, the goods are temporarily detained, and the owner will go with this general?" ”
Chu Nian in the carriage raised his eyebrows slightly, a defender of the city dared to claim to be a general? Aren't all of you here all big officials? Inevitably, he sneered in his heart, and the beautiful eyes were shining, Chu Niancai lifted the curtain with his bare hands, and got out of the carriage with the help of the dark three who also pretended to be a family member on the side.
When the general saw Chu Nian who got out of the car, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw the woman in front of him in a willow posture, with long and white hands, a fringed skirt, revealing white fragrant shoulders in summer, a slender neck, long black hair on his head, and a little pity that the veil covered his face, but he could still see a trace of peerless beauty in those affectionate eyes.
Being looked at with such naked eyes, the beauty seemed a little embarrassed, the cuffs covered the faint lips that were already covered by the veil, and the beautiful eyes didn't know where to go, that shy look, I really felt pity......
The soldier on the side coughed lightly, and the general woke up like a dream, glared at the soldier, and then raised a rough smile and said: "It's really remarkable that a woman can go out to do business, but, in charge, you have to go to the city lord's mansion with this general, and talk to our city lord about this matter." ”
The naked obscenity in those eyes could hardly be concealed, and several "family members" on the side showed disgust, and Li Lang was about to say something, but his voice was stopped by the weak willow-like unparalleled county lord at this moment.
"Okay, then ask the general to lead the way, but after the goods are detained, can my family go to the city to find a place to live first?"
The general didn't even look at Li Lang and the others, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Go ahead, after you are in charge of the paperwork, I will naturally go back to you." ”
Several officials looked at Chu Nian worriedly, Li Langzhong wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Dark San, who looked at the Wushuang County Lord who was about to leave with the general and said: "Lady, come back early, the master said that there are still a large number of goods waiting for the lady, by the way, lady, the five hundred taels of goods are ......."
"Five hundred taels of goods?" A few officials on the side were stunned for a moment, and then saw Chu Nian look at the dark three with disgust and said: "You don't have to say more, our batch of goods is only worth one hundred taels, where is there five hundred taels, general, don't look at it, take the slave family back." ”
The general's eyes were originally shining because of the words of the dark three, but at this moment, he saw that the beauty beside him was looking at him innocently with a pair of affectionate eyes, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and a trace of regret rose in his heart, but he sighed helplessly, and then looked ahead and said, "Come with me." ”
After Chu Nian left with the general, everyone walked towards the city under the leadership of Dark San, and Li Langzhong followed Dark Third with his eyes still full of worry.
"This ...... Sir, if the county lord goes to the city lord's mansion alone, will there be anything wrong? The soldiers looked at it and it was obvious that something was wrong. ”
Dark San looked back at him funny, "Li Langzhong, don't worry, the county lord won't do things that you are not sure of." ”
"No, it's mainly His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who knows about ......"
Speaking of Ming Xiu, Dark San couldn't help but think of Ming Xiu's eyes full of warning when he parted, and shuddered before he hurriedly said: "If you don't say it, Your Highness won't know that the lady will do such a thing, if you say it, I'm afraid that we will all follow the fun." ”
Li Langzhong hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and shook his head repeatedly, not daring to speak.
At the same time, Chu Nian had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the general, and when he entered the mansion, the general glanced at Chu Nian with regret on his face, turned around and left, and the servants of the City Lord's Mansion took Chu Nian into the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, there was no one in the house, and the servant arranged for Chu Nian to sit down, and made warm tea, and then said, "Lady, wait a minute, the city lord will arrive later." ”
When Chu Nian nodded, the servant cautiously closed the door and walked out.
At this moment, there was no one around, Chu Nian made time to look around, the furnishings around were not too rich, a few low-key-looking tables and chairs, extremely tasteful paintings, a few porcelain bottles, it was not a rare thing to look at, and the tea set in Chu Nian's hand looked like it was good.
She stared intently for a moment before taking a sip of the teacup and frowning.
It's just the lowest kind of black tea, and she's never heard of anyone entertaining guests with such a thing, not even the nouveau riche in Kyoto.
But the taste of the owner of this house is too contradictory.
At this stall, the door creaked open, and a thin man came in, this man was wearing gold and silver, but he looked extremely generous, very young, about the same age as Chu Nian, looking at Chu Nian arrogantly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Chu Nian's inquiring gaze, he didn't forget to put on the score, looked back and closed the door tightly, and then paced in, but instead of sitting on the main seat, he sat on the guest seat beside Chu Nian.
Chu Nian looked at him from beginning to end quietly, and then symbolically bent his eyes and said, "This gentleman also has a problem with the paperwork?" I wonder what kind of goods are being seized? Have you ever seen the city lord before? Isn't the lord of the castle easy to talk to? ”
The young man was startled by Chu Nian, who was pretending to be stupid, and even forgot that he was wearing gold and silver, coughed lightly, and pretended to mutter: "I am Li Xiang, the city lord of this Yang City." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Chu Nian looking at the young man in front of him in disbelief, and the inquiry in his eyes could hardly be concealed, the young man's weak face twitched for a moment, and then saw Chu Nian get up instantly and said: "The little girl doesn't know that this Lang Jun is the city lord, how offended, and I hope the city lord will forgive me, it's really the city lord who is too young......"
"Young and promising?"
Without waiting for Chu Nian to finish speaking, the young man was already narcissistic and took the next sentence, brushed the ink hair on his shoulders in a pretentious manner, and then laughed, and said: "This lady is laughing, the city lord is just accidentally inheriting his father's business, and the lady does not have to depreciate her identity, it is really not good, it is also excellent to leave it to the city lord as a twelfth lady." ”
Chu Nian secretly raised his eyebrows, he finally knew where this young man was, he married twelve ladies at a young age, and the only one in the world who could be more romantic than him was the emperor who had to marry three thousand beauties in the harem.
She half-lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered gently as if she was shy, "The city lord said and laughed, the little girl is already married, and I hope the city lord will not ridicule." ”
"Oh? Get married? Does the other party have money from my city lord's mansion? Or is it that the status is stronger than that of my Li family? I can tell you that my Li family has been appreciated by Prince Lu, and the city lord has been proclaimed for three generations. ”
The city lord's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and seeing that Chu Nian seemed to be unmoved, he got up and slowly approached Chu Nian, and suddenly a pungent fragrance came to his face.
Chu Nian took a step back without a trace, and then pretended to be shy: "City Lord...... Dead weight. ”
The city lord seemed to be extremely excited about Chu Nian's shyness, and the more Chu Nian retreated, the closer he leaned, until Chu Nian's body leaned against the table behind him, he had to get closer again, and his dishonest hand even touched Chu Nian's wrist.
"Little lady, let me tell you a practical one, if I say that there is a problem with your paperwork today, your goods worth five hundred taels will not be able to be taken back, do you understand?"
Chu Nian pretended to be panicked, and originally wanted to break free from the city lord's control, but he stopped struggling halfway, and looked at the ugly face that was close at hand with a pair of big eyes glowing with a bit of moisture, "City, city lord, by all means, that's all our family's belongings." ”
Li Xiang approached Chu Nian, his nose moved slightly, "Little lady, the smell on her body is very good, I don't know, what kind of flowers are fragrant?" ”
"City, city lord...... Yes! When that filthy hand was about to touch Chu Nian's slender waist, he felt a pain in his wrist, and then, the pain increased, and Li Xiang fell to the ground in a hurry.
The beauty bent down and looked at Li Xiang, who was rolling on the ground in pain, with an eager face, "City Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Xiang didn't know what was wrong with him at the moment, and he was embarrassed to lose his temper when he saw the concerned appearance of the beauty in front of him, so he stood up with the pain, and said in a pretentious manner: "It's an old problem, don't worry about it, and stay in the house first, and I'll talk to you about the paperwork in detail another day." ”
Chu Nian's eyes were at a loss, at this stall, Li Xiang had already called someone in, and what came in were two strong soldiers defending the city, Li Xiang covered his inexplicably painful wrist and said: "You, go and take this little lady to the backyard, find a better yard, you, go find the doctor." ”
The two guards received the order, one of them turned around and ran out, and the other stepped forward to grab Chu Nian's wrist, as if he was not surprised by this matter.
Seeing Chu Nian's painful expression, Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Slow down, don't hurt my beauty, and besides, you give me day and night to protect me, and you must not let the beauty go on any errands." ”
How can such a superb beauty be let go? Someone had to take a good look at it, and although the wrist hurt terribly, the city lord still hadn't forgotten the touch of the soft little hand that had just been touched by his hand, and his heart was intoxicated.
It's probably pain and happiness.
Chu Nian was taken to the side courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, which was deep and quiet, and there didn't seem to be a few people, and occasionally a few maids passed by, and they were also in a hurry with a defensive look.
She was taken to a corner yard, which seemed to be very well kept, and the flowers and trees in the yard were beautiful.
Out of the house came a beautiful woman in a plain white dress, this beauty with willow eyebrows and goose egg face, but her face was pale, and her body was thin as if she could not resist the wind, and when the guard saw this woman, he said, "You, take her in to wash, and wait for the city lord." ”
The woman raised her head and saw Chu Nian, her beautiful eyes were inexplicably dyed with a little sympathy, but in the end, she had to sigh helplessly and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
