Chapter 259: Discrimination
When it got dark, Morning Light was ready to leave for the city.
Cheng Kuan and Xiao Zhao did not stay, and after saying goodbye to Cheng's parents, they followed back to the city.
The carriage drove on the dirt road between the villages, and the village was very quiet at night, and at the foot of the dark mountains, the moonlight was unusually soft, and the quiet village was guarded peacefully. Bright lights shine through the windows of each house, and those lights are warm and dim, like stars in the moonlit night.
Chenguang felt that the color of the lights of the ten thousand houses in the dark night was very beautiful, she rested her chin on the window frame of the carriage, looking at the night scenery of the countryside, the mood that had been worried about the chaos of the three tribes suddenly calmed down, and the cool air made her feel strong again.
However, the sudden shouting and scolding broke the silence she liked and startled her. A woman's voice, which was unusually sharp and harsh in the quiet of the night, scolded aloud:
"Shameless little fox, my son who dares to seduce, you are just a lowly phoenix man, and you dare to come to our house to find a bargain, and you want to climb high branches! Phew! See if I don't beat you shameless slut! ”
Probably beaten, the girl kept crying, just crying, no justification, no refutation, not loud crying, giving people a feeling of patience, sounding very pitiful.
"Mother! Mother! Don't beat Xiaomei, it's not Xiaomei's fault, I want to beat you and beat me, I asked Xiaomei to come out! Mother, don't fight! The young man anxiously protected his girl, frowning and shouting loudly.
"Brother Ajiang, why did you call her out? Who is she? Another young girl's voice sounded with jealousy, and she questioned in a loud voice.
Sitting in the carriage in the morning light raised his eyebrows, he could actually encounter such a wonderful thing when he returned to the city at night, a man and two women!
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Cheng Kuan, who was driving outside, shouted: "Little sister! ”
He threw down his whip and rushed over.
"Brother!" The girl who was beaten finally spoke up and ran to Cheng Kuan crying.
Chenguang was startled, and poked his head out of the carriage to see, not far ahead, on the dark village road, a group of people holding torches surrounded a young man, and that young man was the son of Li Zheng whom Chenguang had seen during the day, named Zhao Jiang.
Surrounding Zhao Jiang were Li Zheng and a few middle-aged villagers from Shanzheng Village, a fat woman was probably Zhao Jiang's mother, and a small village flower, who was the one who was called "Brother Ajiang" before.
Cheng Mei had already run outside the encirclement and was protected by Cheng Kuan, and Cheng Kuan's wife, Xiao Zhao, also got out of the car, took Cheng Mei's hand, and looked at Li Zheng and the group vigilantly.
"Little sister, aren't you uncomfortable resting at home, when did you come out, why are you here?" Cheng Kuan asked softly, and glanced at Zhao Jiang again, he also felt bad in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it, he asked vigilantly, "What's going on?" ”
In fact, everyone is from the past, and looking at this situation, you know that the child must be caught privately at night, Cheng Kuan probably didn't believe that his well-behaved sister would do such a thing, so he asked.
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Lizheng snorted indignantly from her nose and said angrily:
"You're just in time, you're her brother, I'll tell you! Take care of your little prodigal hoof, I know that you Feng Ming people are casual, and the men and women don't care, but we are a responsible family, our Ajiang is a responsible boy, and it is your family's business for your girls to make a fuss everywhere, don't come to harm our family! Our family Ah Jiang is an honest child, and he will only marry a girl who does his duty, let this of your family stay away from our Ah Jiang, don't take him badly! ”
This is too vicious for a girl.
Cheng Mei shrank beside Xiao Zhao, biting her lip, crying breathlessly.
Cheng Kuan was angry, but because his sister had done such a thing as a tryst with a man, he felt that he was at a loss and couldn't say a word.
Zhao Jiang frowned and said loudly: "Dad, mother, I want to marry Xiaomei!" ”
He roared like this, startling everyone.
Mrs. Lizheng panicked and shouted loudly:
"Ah Jiang, you're crazy, you've made this little goblin obsessed, you, you, you want to be angry with me, aren't you!"
"Daddy! Mother! I want to marry Xiaomei! Zhao Jiang said solemnly, he walked over, pulled the crying Cheng Mei over, and said loudly and firmly to his parents, "Dad! Mother! I just want Xiaomei! Except for Xiaomei, I won't marry anyone! ”
Originally, Zhao Lizheng caught his son and Feng Ming's girl in a private meeting and was not too angry, his family is a boy, and he doesn't suffer a loss when he is with a girl, but now I heard Zhao Jiang say that he was serious about marrying Cheng Mei, this time Zhao Lizheng couldn't bear it, he was furious, slapped Zhao Jiang in the face, and roared:
"You kid, I don't reason with you, you're getting more and more dizzy! She's just a lowly Feng Ming, you're a Nanyue, you can only marry a Nanyue! ”
Zhao Jiang was slapped in the face, not to be outdone, his voice was louder than his father, and he shouted:
"What's wrong with the Phoenix Underworld? Feng Mingren is not a human being? Feng Ming people are also raised by their fathers and mothers, what is the difference between them and us, why are they divided into three, six, nine and so on? Now this is no longer the Nanyue Kingdom, this is the Feng Ming Kingdom, everyone is the Feng Ming people, why don't you understand, Dad? You said that the Feng Ming people are cheap, aren't you afraid of being heard and reported to the government that our family was wiped out by the Nine Clans? Now even the imperial court has issued an official document saying that it supports the marriage of the three ethnic groups, even if I am from Nanyue, why can't I marry Feng Mingren? I just want to marry Xiaomei, except for Xiaomei, I won't marry anyone! ”
"Phew! You kid don't use the court to press me? What kind of court is the current court, a woman covers the sky, and the court that a woman can cover the sky will end sooner or later! You wait and see, it won't be long before the Chiyang Kingdom will come to clean up, and then there will be these phoenix people! What do you know about a yellow-mouthed boy, Lao Tzu said, you are a South Vietnamese, you must marry a South Vietnamese! ”
"Daddy!" Zhao Jiang was anxious and angry.
Zhao Lizheng looked disdainful, and was just about to open his mouth to order someone to tie Zhao Jiang back, when a dark shadow came over and called in a deep voice:
"Zhao Lizheng."
Zhao Lizheng was startled, raised the torch and shone it on the man's face, and this photo turned out to be Zhao County's order.
However, he was not worried that what he had just said was heard, Zhao Zhixue was also born in Shanzheng Village, a relative neighbor for decades, and when it came to seniority, Zhao Zhixue had to call him an eldest brother. Zhao Lizheng didn't take Zhao Zhixue to heart, and said with a shy belly and a smile:
"Yo, Zhao County Order, it's so late, I haven't gone back yet, is it retained by my in-laws?"
He looked down on Zhao Zhixue in his heart, and in order to keep his official position, he surrendered to the enemy, and married his daughter to the rude and despicable Feng Mingren, which was shameless.
If it was ordinary, Zhao Zhixue would turn a blind eye to his own relatives, but today, this scene happened in front of His Royal Highness Lord Feng, Zhao Li was saying those words under the nose of His Royal Highness Lord Feng, His Royal Highness Lord Feng might think that he was not strict in governance, and even the village where he was born actually had people with backbones.
He endured his anger and said with a cold face:
"Zhao Jiang, His Royal Highness Lord Feng summoned you over, be careful of the rules, don't lose your head."
