Chapter 52: The Viper

Guan Ping didn't go far, and he rode a majestic high-headed horse.

Jiang Runyan's carriage and horse were in front, and he opened the sedan curtain all the way to look at him. He was in front, his clothes were fierce, but for some reason he suddenly slowed down, Jiang Runyan's heart was hot, and he looked at his almost perfect side face, and there were countless reveries for a while-he was looking at him blankly, but he only slipped past her.

He wasn't waiting for her.

If you don't pay attention to one person, others won't be so careful about the details. Jiang Runyan felt that he understood his expression, because his expression was always indifferent, even when he smiled, the smile only reached the bottom of his eyes and never entered his heart - such a person didn't stop for her, she had nothing to say, but he should never stop for others!

Jiang Runyan's eyes slightly saw the word [Sheng] on the carriage behind him, so he turned his head and closed his eyes.

For a while, it seemed to be back at the palace banquet a few years ago. Guan Ping was born as a civil official, and at the banquet in the palace that day, the corrupt old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were the only ones who were well-written and handsome--but still so gentle, her skirt was too long, he took advantage of the hand, and the girl's mind was the most difficult to guess, he was just an ordinary official, not a high-ranking governor.

And she has always been the lord of the county, but he will not stop there.

Jiang Runyan opened her eyes again, she remembered everything her mother taught her, and she remembered her toughness.

Her mother had the blood of the Tuoba people in her veins, snatching and killing, and she had it too. But the difference is that she still has Han blood on her body, and she will not be as high as her mother, and she can't even keep a man.

She will do whatever she wants.

β€”β€”

"The Governor?"

Sheng Mingzhu stretched out his head slightly, and realized that Guan Ping, who had already left, tilted his head and squinted his eyes slightly, "Didn't you leave early in the morning with Your Majesty?" Why are you still here? ”

"Nostalgic for the scenery here, I walked more slowly." Guan Ping replied.

Sheng Mingzhu put his head into the sedan chair, drank the freshly brewed jujube tea from the golden branch, and sighed comfortably, "Sister Song, I really don't understand what you scholars are thinking in your minds, it's bare here, can you appreciate any flowers?" ”

Song Yu poked the tea lightly, raised his eyes slightly, and chuckled, "The scenery is naturally beautiful." ”

The scenery is decorated with beauty, but the beauty is put into the heart by others. Song Yu looked at Sheng Mingzhu, she was holding the bowl of jujube tea, and there was a stove that Jin Zhi had just used to make tea next to her.

It's late autumn now, and it's not very hot. But he was afraid that a few girls would be smoked, so Jin Zhi hung up the sedan curtain with a golden hook, so that a small stream of wind could blow in, and he happened to be able to see the scene outside.

Xu is hot, there is a slight red on her face, Xu is a cup of hot tea relieved the difficulties of a day in class, there is a smile scattered at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, just like a red flower that is about to bloom on this wilderness driveway, who doesn't want to take it off and pin it on his waist?

It's a pity that it didn't bloom in the end, and he had a delicate face, but he just wanted to eat and drink every day.

The script is in vain.

Song Yu didn't prepare to remind her, first, it was just her own guess. Guan Ping is different from their daughters' families in the end, and they are many years older, so he is afraid of embarrassment.

Second, Guan Ping's identity is really embarrassing, and he looks very good, if Mingzhu has nothing in his heart, what she said has really become a bad fate.

"I'll never learn you to scream at the wilderness." Sheng Mingzhu leaned against the window, and a breeze gently slid by. The sideburns on the side of her ears were blown scattered, but the person seemed a little gentle, "But on such a wide road, it is indeed very comfortable to be able to ride a horse and gallop freely." ”

Looking at Guan Ping again, her eyesight was surprisingly good.

The governor should now be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, twelve or thirteen years older than her.

"Do you say that the second brother is good-looking or that the governor is good-looking?" Sheng Mingzhu said, Song Yu glared at her, but didn't answer her, she was like a benefactor in the alley building, commenting on the beauty of the two oirans.

"Before I entered Beijing, I only heard the voice of a girl in Beijing asking to marry the second brother.

Song Yu glanced at her, "Is the governor waiting?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu shook his head, "It's different." The second brother is the love of other women, you see who dares to provoke the governor. A big peony with thorns in the fragrance of the country......" Song Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Guan Ping also turned his head when he heard what seemed to be a joke here.

Song Yu couldn't help but crown a big peony with a national color and fragrance when he saw his face, so he covered his face with a handkerchief, and moved his head back a little, "I'll go to the back to blow the wind......" The sedan chair used by the family is very spacious, and there are car drivers in front and behind.

"Thank you Governor for helping me cheat today." Sheng Mingzhu is not ashamed to talk about this.

I don't know how much of a joke she made with her rotten pen and ink, but Guan Ping was really powerful, and looked at him curiously with wide eyes, "How can you make a painting so quickly?" Mr. Guan is so angry. ”

was stared at by a beauty with wide eyes and looked at it with admiration, and the big peony with a beautiful national color and fragrance also floated a little.

"I used to learn it occasionally."

Sheng Mingzhu's nose wrinkled, and she looked up and down again.

The plane of the tube does not change color, and the side face is still perfect, "Why do you look at me like this?" ”

"Does Mr. Guan know why the county lord is embarrassing me today?" She felt like she was completely behind the scenes today.

As she was leaving, she could hear it clearly, and the lord of the county had asked him to see the scenery in the garden. However, the goddess has no intention of wanting to be king, and the county lord of Jiang Da was rejected by others, so she can't find someone to vent this evil breath...... Maybe it's because she happened to hear it there today.

Sheng Mingzhu stretched his head out again and said, "Mr. Guan, what do you think of Jiang Runyan?" ”

He fell silent, and the horse's hooves slowed down. Sheng Mingzhu thought he was pondering, and after a while, he turned his head and looked here, "Which daughter is she?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu: ......

Her face was wooden for a while, and she felt that he was pretending to be a little big.

But after a while, as if he really didn't know, Sheng Mingzhu smacked his tongue a little, "The one who just talked to you today, but what about the beautiful and fragrant beauty, everyone else says that she is the first beauty of Dawei, and I am tempted to look at it." Governor, you can't even remember people's names? ”

Guan Ping nodded knowingly.

He knew the Lord of Jiang County. But Jiang Runyan didn't know his name, but he didn't want to explain it to her in detail.

"Maybe this first beauty is a little unworthy of the name." Guan Pingdao looked at Sheng Mingzhu again, with a light smile in his eyes, as if he was hiding something, "If it's really the first beauty, I think I should be able to remember it." ”

Sheng Mingzhu smacked her tongue again, she felt that this Guan Dubai had a good face, and she really didn't understand the amorous feelings.

But it's good to think about it. Jiang Runyan said that he would be the queen in the future, and he was also a bad fate, and he held the teacup again, "I can't remember it, I can't remember it." An eyeball looked at Guan Ping again, "Mr. Guan, beauty is like poisonous wine, don't be contaminated if you have nothing to do." ”

She is eccentric and eccentric, although Guan Ping is thick-skinned.

But in the end, she has a ghost in her heart, and there are some doubts about whether she knows something. She felt thirsty, and she had already touched the cup from the case at will, but somehow, it was not the touch of porcelain in the palm of her hand, it was a little slippery and greasy, and it felt cold.

Sheng Mingzhu raised his hand puzzled, but saw that a small turquoise snake had been wrapped around his wrist. With his mouth wide open, he was spitting snake hyacinth at her, and he hurriedly shook it off.

But on a small sedan chair, there were many snakes crawling out of nowhere, and their fangs had not yet been pulled out, and now they were looking at her with their heads poked out.

Although Sheng Mingzhu said that she was bold and was a woman in the end, she was now surrounded by a group of snakes shaking her head, and almost fell on the futon on the side when she was physically exhausted, and her eyes looked at the turquoise snake closest to her.

"Don't move!"

The man's deep voice was like a life-saving straw at the moment, and fine sweat appeared on Sheng Mingzhu's forehead. didn't dare to move, Song Yu and the others were about to come in from behind, but they were slammed by Sheng Mingzhu, "Don't come here!" ”

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of something.

Song Yu was puzzled, "Mingzhu, what's wrong?" ”

It was too late, but the little turquoise snake had already poked its head out and sent out an offensive tendency, as if it couldn't hold it anymore. Sheng Mingzhu was busy covering her face with her arms, Guan Ping jumped up, and soon hugged her waist, and smoothly brought the person to the ground, Sheng Mingzhu didn't react, and was still afraid, a little trembling.

Guan Ping gently touched her sideburns, "It's okay." ”

She was really scared, like a pom-pom that couldn't climb down a tree for the first time, and was hugged down by him, and hooked his shirt with his paws. Guan Ping saw that she was still shaking, and her arm was wrapped around his waist again, "It's okay." Mingzhuβ€”β€”" The delicate posture of the person in his arms was close, and Guan Ping was distressed, but his eyes became colder and colder.

"Ahh

Song Yu in the car also saw it, and couldn't help but retreat in fright. Jin Zhi also hurriedly picked up the spirit bead, and the coachman quickly stopped the car and let the two young ladies get down. Sheng Mingzhu also woke up a little from the panic just now, and was busy trying to pick up her sister and Song Yu, but was pulled by Guan Ping.

Song Yu got out of the car and hugged the spirit bead tightly, and his legs were weak for a while, and he didn't dare to move.

The subordinates took out another box and tried to put the snake up, but Guan Ping's hands quickly came up, and he only whispered, "The snake is poisonous, use something to block it." ”

Sheng Mingzhu shuddered involuntarily.

β€”β€”

After that, all the little snakes were packed in a small cage, carried by Tsing Yi, and said, "Dudu, all here." ”

Song Yu helped Sheng Mingzhu to sit aside, and she could see that she was not lightly frightened just now. His eyebrows were slightly calm, and he looked at Tsing Yi again, "My lord is a Jinyi guard, and I am well-informed." Should you know this snake? ”

Tsing Yi looked at the snakes in the cage, "Each one is poisonous." Especially the blue-green one, called the seven-step snake, saw blood to seal the throat. ”

Sheng Mingzhu trembled violently, she had been just trembling just now, but now she couldn't hold back her tears, and she almost died first.

Song Yu was distressed, so he comforted softly, "Don't be afraid." ”

For a while, I hated the person behind her very much, she was not an ignorant lady, how could there be so many poisonous snakes on the official road for no reason.

Not to mention how much effort it takes to catch it, it takes a lot of silver to buy it all.

"My arm hurts", Sheng Mingzhu shook her head and stretched out her arm again, which was red, which she accidentally fell and bruised just now. She has delicate skin, and now she looks shocking.

Sheng Mingzhu didn't want to cry, but she was a little afraid, and she was comforted softly, and her arm hurt, so she couldn't help rubbing her eyes. Guan Ping watched from the sidelines, she either looked up with a little face like a squeamish bag, or looked up at others arrogantly, and occasionally the pitiful was also a pretense when begging for someone.

There has never been a time like this.

His eyes drooped slightly, and he gave another order to Tsing Yi to the side, and soon he left with a column of brocade guards.

"You can't sit in this sedan chair anymore, and the governor will send you back to your house in a while."

Sheng Mingzhu couldn't stop sobbing, and Song Yu looked at Guan Ping, "Will it delay the affairs of the governor?" We can go home on our own. ”

"The responsibility of the East Factory. I will also investigate the matter to the end. ”

Guan Ping didn't know what he thought, and his eyes were calm. Soon, when he saw Sheng Mingzhu, his eyes changed again, and he gave Jin Zhi a bottle of medicine, "Go back to the house and give it to her, wash it first." ”

The bottle is golden and has the inscription Ouchi. Jin Zhi is busy with the baby's income.

"Don't be afraid."

He only whispered a word.

Lingzhu patted herself, "I'm not afraid anymore." ”

Sheng Mingzhu cried for a long time, and felt very ashamed, "Who is crying this." I have a wrist injury, and I can't pick up a pen tomorrow, how can I complete my husband's task, how can I acquire knowledge in the academy? He looked at Song Yu's eyes on the side, as if asking if she was serious.

Sheng Mingzhu pursed her lips, "Don't you allow me to fly diligently?" ”

Seeing that she was joking so energetically, Song Yu's eyebrows loosened, and she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. Seeing Guan Ping's eyes looking at Sheng Mingzhu again, his expression froze, and he looked to the side again-

When he arrived in the city, Guan Ping had already quietly left in order to avoid suspicion, and gave Sheng Mingzhu the token of the East Factory when he left, "You can do whatever you want." ”

On the carriage, Jin Zhi cleaned the wound of his young lady with water, and the medicine powder was a good item. Only one layer was on, and it didn't hurt soon, with some light itching and blazing sensation.

"Stop, I'm not going home."

Coming out of the predicament just now, Sheng Mingzhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and commanded. He said to Jin Zhi again, "You send Sister Song back to the house first?" ”

Song Yu frowned slightly, looking at Sheng Mingzhu puzzled.

"I'm going to the Liuguo Mansion."

Song Yu also suspected that it was Liu Feirong, after all, she was the only one who passed by the Sheng family's carriage just now. And there seems to be only one person who has such a grudge to kill someone, "Mingzhu, don't worry, you have no evidence now." went to be bitten by her. ”

She is an acute child, and Song Yu is only afraid that something will happen.

Sheng Mingzhu's eyes were slightly cold, "Who said I have no evidence." She was so scared just now that she didn't think about anything, but now she has calmed down and her mind is back.

"A month ago, Liu Cun knew that Lord Liu was seriously ill. The imperial doctor used poisonous snake gall as a medicine, and the Liu family bought all the snakes that replenished the snake, but Liu Cunzhi didn't eat it in his mouth, but they all ran to the carriage. Liu Feirong has an enmity with her, and Sheng Mingzhu is naturally concerned.

Song Yu looked at her with fierce eyes, but she was still worried in her heart, "Mingzhu, if the Liu family intends to harm others, they will not leave a handle." Even if you are careful, Liu Feirong is not stupid. Let's take a long-term view of this, shall we? ”

Sheng Mingzhu listened to it this time, but he still didn't go back to his home, and went to the yamen of Gyeonggi Prefecture. The knife and pen clerk inside wanted to stop it, but in his hand it was the token of the governor of the East Factory.

"Mingzhu, what are you going to do?" Song Yu watched her rummag.

"Didn't Sister Song tell me about the daughter of the county magistrate before? A county magistrate's family is ruined, and there should be a record. She doesn't want to be just one Liu Feirong, what kind of good goods can she be if she can raise a Liu family like Liu Feirong and Liu Feichi, brothers and sisters.

Song Yu always came out of the scholarly family, and he had some regulations for the placement of the dossier, and he quickly found out.

"Is there anything else? The scandal of the Liu family? Sheng Mingzhu asked again.

Song Yu nodded, the Liu family has fallen to the point where it is now, and there are naturally a lot of ugly things. There are a lot of lives in the hands of Aunt Zheng. Sheng Mingzhu lowered his head to look for it, and after a long time, he suddenly remembered that he still had a token in his hand, so he said to the little official, "You will find out for me about the Liu family over the years." ”

It's natural to have someone inside to get things done.

[In the winter of the 39th year of the Great Wei Dynasty, Chengping Zhixian took the whole family to Beijing to report on his work - the middle paragraph was erased, and the official name of Chengping Zhixian was cut off. All the family's land and property were compensated to the Liu family] Sheng Mingzhu himself also had privileges, and he knew that the Liu family would send people to Gyeonggi Mansion to eliminate some unfavorable things for his family.

But she didn't believe that Gyeonggi was not complete here.

Then he looked at the little official again, softly and arrogantly, "Do you know what I call the governor? ”

The man didn't speak, but quickly brought a bunch of scrolls, each of which was a human life, stained with blood.

There is an insurmountable gap between the aristocratic family and the common people, and the aristocracy enjoys a luxurious life, naturally there are those who drive it, and there are also those who are persecuted.

Sheng Mingzhu knew that every household might have some disgraceful things, and there was also that rat. The Liu family came out of Aunt Zheng's family, burning, killing and looting, how could they still be like nobles, just like bandits, robbing other people's cloth villages, and helping Liu Feichi to seize the people's daughters-

"If this pile of piles were put on ordinary people, it would already be a capital crime." Song Yu said.

Sheng Mingzhu picked up a pen and paper on the side, and a few words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing. Lingzhu and Song Yu saw it on the side, and knew what she was writing, so they also picked up the pen from the side and quickly wrote, and the three of them just excerpted it, less than a stick of incense.

After she finished writing, she gave Jin Zhi, "You go and send it to Mr. Yulou's storyteller." "I tore down a few more pages that I thought were the most exciting.

Sheng Mingzhu looked at the things in her hand, she didn't want to trouble the Liu family this time. It's just that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, her life is safe, and the Liu family can also be said to be a play between children. She has never been a kind-hearted person, Liu Feirong wants her to die but doesn't succeed, she will never give her a second chance.

Song Yu rubbed his sore wrist, "Mingzhu, doing this is really evil, but if the Liu family is looking for trouble for you?" ”

The little official didn't know how it felt for a while to let Jin Zhi publicize the ugly things of the Liu family. Not only Liu Feirong has harmed many people, but all large and small families have been contaminated with human life, but in the eyes of many families, grass people are humble and ants.

"Trouble me, I'm going to trouble her", Sheng Mingzhu walked out, "The night is long and I have many dreams." She is now proud, and naturally she is not prepared. I'm afraid I'll think I'm dead. "She just wants to make a big deal about it, and if she doesn't make a big scene, she has to come to the door to pump her face, and Sheng Mingzhu is not afraid in her heart.

The Liu family now has only one concubine in the palace, and according to my father, she has long been the last member of the family.

Sheng Mingzhu paused, "This time the poisonous snake was put on my car, and it almost hurt Sister Song." My heart is filled with remorse. ”

If there is a next time, such a villain's methods are always unguardable, and Sheng Mingzhu is too lazy to deal with it.

Song Yu couldn't hold back when she saw her anger, so she could only let people go back and inform the Song family. and sent back the spirit beads that were looking at the two of them.

β€”β€”

The carriage turned around and rushed to the Liuguo Mansion, and Guan Ping came out from behind.

The little official grimaced, "My lord." ”

"Do what you have to do", he looked back again, "Forget it, she picked out the ones just now, you can find some more." Mr. Storyteller is telling a story, and he can't always have something fresh from others, and it's not good to be biased. ”

The little official's face became even more bitter, he thought that the governor was coming to clean up the mess, but he didn't expect him to be more ruthless than Miss Sheng.

Tsing Yi sighed on the side, "There are few noble ladies like Miss Shanda." ”

Gray Yi nodded proudly, and felt that he still had to be reserved, "It's worse than the governor." ”

Tsing Yi said, "The girl's family is okay." Gray Yi kept nodding in his heart, but he listened to Tsing Yi again, "But there are indeed shortcomings, compared to the Governor ......."

The gray-clothed face was pulled down, and suddenly became angry, "Where is it insufficient, what is insufficient!" ”

turned his back and quickly chased after Sheng Mingzhu, and Tsing Yi listened to the cold voice of the comforting commander floated over, "When you were fourteen years old, were you better than a little girl?" ”

Tsing Yi: ...... He's just following the words of the Great Commander, being a competent dog, is he wrong?

β€”β€”

At that time, Liu Feirong was in her room and had just changed out of her academy clothes.

changed into goose-yellow clothes again, "Does the girl still want to go out at night?" The maid who served her held the bronze mirror for her, and looked at her young lady with great interest in holding the snail Dai to draw her eyebrows, knowing that she was in a good mood today, so she boldly asked.

Liu Feirong didn't know what she thought, her lips couldn't help but escape a chuckle, and even her eyebrows were slightly crooked.

She has always had a bad temper, and usually at this time she should lose her temper when her eyebrows are crooked, but now she just gently wiped it with her fingertips, and her mouth was still humming a light tune. After a crescent moon eyebrow shape is drawn, "Why don't you go out, I haven't been out for a few days, so I naturally want to go shopping." ”

"Let's go to the Yulou today, right? The storyteller there is good. ”

She spoke briskly, and after a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Second brother may go at this time, I should enjoy it with him." ”

After finishing the makeup, Liu Feirong was about to go out.

Because it was Song Yu knocking on the door, the concierge of the Liu family didn't know Sheng Mingzhu's appearance, so he easily let a few people enter. Gray Yi was originally a brocade guard, and he was very familiar with the backyards of each house, and his appearance was cold and severe, so the people of Liufu did not dare to stop him.

When you enter the backyard, you are like no one.

Liu Zhiran had just returned from the household duty, and the black gauze hat on his head had just been taken off, and it was still hot. He was a little stunned when he saw a slightly cold beautiful face passing in front of his eyes, and the person Xu also felt that he was familiar, so he looked back at him as well, but it was only for a moment, and soon she looked away.

"Sheng ......"

Liu Zhiran was a little at a loss, but he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. Not even his feet obeyed, and followed her forward.

Liu Feirong went out at this time and happened to be loaded with a few menacing people. She thought that the poisonous snake hiding at the bottom of the carriage should have bitten Sheng Mingzhu to death, but now she saw that she was still wearing the clothes of today's academy, as well as Song Yu and others, and for a while, she trembled her lips and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The corners of Sheng Mingzhu's lips raised slightly, "It turns out that Miss Liu is also afraid?" ”

Liu Feirong only hung her head, not daring to look at her, and found Liu Zhiran again, even though she didn't like this brother before, but because she was full of fear at the moment, she couldn't help but go up and grab his sleeve.

Liu Feirong trembled, and Liu Zhiran didn't know what was wrong with her. In the end, it was his biological brother and sister, he couldn't push it away, "Miss Sheng San, is something wrong?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu smiled coldly, but never looked at him, "Liu Feirong, don't you dare to look at me?" ”
