Chapter 54: It Was In Sight
Yu Wenzheng helped Yu Zijin into the flower hall, seeing her face that was becoming more and more ruddy and bright because of her pregnancy, she was itching to pinch it, and when she looked up and saw Huo Yanting enter the door, she instantly changed her expression and said, "Are you busy with the business?" Why did you come here at this time? "I don't have the eyesight to see it!
He was drunk and gentle, but he was tired and tired outside-Huo Yanting didn't bother to pay attention to him, and made tea and drank it by himself, "Zijin, have you asked her?" ”
Yu Zijin slowly walked to the opposite side of Huo Yanting's table and sat down, and said with a smile: "I've asked, but Sister Peiyue hasn't answered me yet, thinking that she will give me news in a while, Brother Yanting, you just wait to drink Yizijing's tea!" ”
Regarding Ouyang Peiyue's attitude, Huo Yanting was noncommittal, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, and was about to report to Yu Wenzheng about the mutual market, when his gaze suddenly stopped.
Yu Zijin was straightening her arms and curling the silk, and a pair of green jade carved jade bracelets on her slender wrists were extraordinary, graceful and elegant, feeling Huo Yanting's gaze, she raised her head in a daze, "Brother Yanting, what's wrong?" ”
Yuwen Zheng teased with his cheeks: "He probably took a fancy to your bracelet, the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, so let's do it, three thousand gold, sell you!" ”
"Don't!" Yu Zijin pretended to be distressed and protected his wrist, and looked at Yu Wenzheng with disdain, "You money fan! This was given to me by Sister Peiyue, so I won't sell it! ”
After saying this, Huo Yanting's face changed.
Sensing that something was wrong, Yu Zijin and Yu Wenzheng stopped joking, took off a bracelet and looked at it repeatedly, Yu Zijin asked Huo Yanting: "Brother Yanting, is there anything wrong?" ”
Huo Yanting smiled, the smile was as cold as ice, and he even laughed out loud.
No wonder he felt so familiar when he saw Ruoling's girl, no wonder he hadn't told her name, but she knew that he was Huo Yanting, no wonder she could always avoid him at a critical moment.
He took the jade bracelet from Yu Zijin's hand, his eyes were like fire, and the strength of his hand almost pinched the green jade into powder.
Ouyang Peiyue?
Woman, you deceived me so hard!
Yu Wenzheng watched his changes, his heart was leisurely, he picked up the pen and paper on the desk and handed it to Yu Zijin, "Draw a small portrait of Ouyang Peiyue." ”
Yu Zijin suddenly opened his eyes, thought of what had happened in these days, and immediately started to write.
The eyebrows are flowing, charming and natural.
Huo Yanting only glanced at the portrait and clenched it in his hand, not to mention his bad face, looking at his reaction, Yu Zijin and Yu Wenzheng also guessed what happened, and before they could speak, Huo Yanting had already stepped out of the door angrily.
He was going to find the woman, to find her, to make sure that he had stolen his seed and dared to hide from him, and that he was playing with monkeys?
Yuwen Pengju was leading a person into the door, and Huo Yanting, who was unprepared and walking with the dragon, pretended to be full, he was angry and had nowhere to go, and he was about to shout angrily that the person had no eyes, but he was taken aback when he saw the face of the person who hit him.
"Ruoling?"
Ruo Ling was caught off guard and was about to ask for guilt, when he saw that it was Huo Yanting, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, Huo Yanting noticed that she was extremely embarrassed at the moment, her face was full of injuries, and there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth, so she only pulled the corner of his clothes and cried and shouted: "Master Huo, go and save my young lady, go and save her!" ”
"What's wrong with your young lady? What about children? Huo Yanting's complexion changed greatly when he heard this.
"A few uncles have been instigating the son to deal with the young lady in order to grab the main power, a few days ago, I don't know how they bought off the stable mother, and knew that the young lady had a child out of wedlock, so the young lady and the little son were put under house arrest, and I was also knocked unconscious by them and locked up in the firewood room, the young lady and the ......" Ruoling was incoherent for a while, and then anxiously remembered to say the point: "Childe, go and save them...... They...... They are at the wharf in the west of the city, and today they will sink the young lady and the little boy into the pond! ”
"What?" Huo Yanting's voice had not yet fallen, and the wind had already rushed to the outside of the house.
Yu Zijin and Yu Wenzheng had already heard the voice and came to the door, Yu Zijin was shocked and pulled Yu Wenzheng's sleeve tightly, "Ah Zheng, what should I do?" ”
Yuwen Zheng hurriedly patted Yu Zijin's back to comfort her, and instructed Yuwen Pengyu: "Order someone to prepare a sedan chair!" ”
"Yes!"
The water is turbulent, the gulls are frightening, and the wharf is crowded at noon, and hundreds of people are standing on the shore.
Ouyang Peiyue, the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, can be said to be the most popular shopping mall woman in western Sichuan in recent years, she provoked a big business as a woman when her parents died and her younger brother was weak, and the Ouyang family was prosperous, which can be called a women's inspirational legend, but who would have thought that such a woman would be corrupt in virtue and fornication with others, and gave birth to a wild seed?
As soon as the news came out of Ouyang's house at noon today, the people in half of the city were shocked by the thunder, but in half an hour, they followed the sinking pond team of Ouyang's family to the west wharf of the city to watch the excitement.
When a person is in the clouds, the world will look up, and when a person falls from the clouds, the world will lift his feet, ready to crush him into the mud when he falls.
Now, Ouyang Peiyue is the man in the mud.
This is an era when men are in power, in Ouyang Peiyue's control of the huge wealth of Wanguan's family wealth as a woman, and the most popular spring breeze has already provoked men to ridicule, women are jealous, and now she has fallen into the clouds, not only her usual enemies, but even some ignorant people began to point and insult loudly, and the words scolded by some psychologically distorted and bitter street women are even more difficult to hear.
In this regard, Ouyang Peiyue only turned a deaf ear, her hands and feet were tied to the stake and hung on the river, a pair of eyes looked at the young children crying on the wooden board beside her with a pair of vicissitudes of life, she didn't like to cry, tears are the weapon of the weak, she has always wanted to be strong, but at this moment it is the pain of tears for her mother.
She thought that she had taken care of everything and would soon be able to take her children to live a happy life, but it turned out that people were not as good as heaven.
It's her who underestimates people's hearts.
Ouyang Xu stood beside the uncles who supported him with some weakness, not daring to look at his sister's eyes, he said with no confidence: "Sister, who is the father of this wild seed?" You just say it, and your uncles and grandfathers will probably be able to let you go. ”
Ouyang Peiyue closed her eyes and didn't speak, she may have lost her strength because her lips were dry and she didn't have the strength to do so, or she might have been cold to this younger brother and didn't want to speak.
This made several Ouyang uncles who were hungry for profit show off their might, only saying that she had fornicated with others without saying a word, and forced Ouyang Xu to execute quickly.
The person who had been confronting them on the other side didn't follow, and with a flick of the long whip had already greeted Ouyang Xu, she puffed up her fat and round tender face and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing, I see who dares to touch my sister-in-law, Miss Ben will beat him to death!" ”
The five girls of the Huo family have been chaotic and different from ordinary people since they were children, they only have food and wine and everything that can be called beautiful in their eyes, and everything else is regarded as dung, since they first saw Ouyang Peiyue when they were four years old, they only recognized her as a sister-in-law. Today, she came to the dock to pick up the goods for her father, but when she heard about the Ouyang family, she directly threw away the errand and whipped and ran over.
Ouyang Xu was whipped heavily, he covered the red marks on his hands and glared at the round-looking girl with angry eyes, "You, a fat man with a lack of mind, dare to touch my son?" ”
Although the five girls have peugeot facial features, they have been greedy since they were children, and they have become obese compared to girls of the same age, not only with round eyes and round faces, but also with limbs like lotus roots.
Maybe the fifth girl is a little stupid in the eyes of outsiders, but it doesn't prevent her from knowing that this nickname is not good, so she hates others calling her like this, so she immediately beckoned the whip in her hand again, and said while shaking it: "My eldest brother said, I am Hongmeng Weikai, not lack of mind, you are a rich son, you are such an insulting man, Miss Ben will teach you a good lesson for your parents!" ”
The eldest brother also said that whoever dared to call her like this would take the whip and shoot him to death, and he would be responsible!
The whip was sharp, and there was no mercy at all, Ouyang Xu suffered several injuries, and hurriedly called dozens of Ding to separate the five girls from a distance, he was furious, and he had no temperament in his heart, and looked at Ouyang Peiyue angrily and said: "Eldest sister, do you say it or not, don't blame your younger brother for ruthlessly killing his relatives?" ”
Ouyang Peiyue sneered, when did you have affection? When is righteousness?
"Good!" Ouyang Xu waved his hand, gritted his teeth and was ruthless, "Come on, do it!" ”
A few family members began to untie the hemp rope connecting the shore, and seeing that the wooden plank that bound Ouyang Peiyue's mother and son was about to loosen on the river, a majestic figure walked onto the dock at this time.
"Ben Gongzi see who dares to move!"
The angry and cold voice made Jiang Feng feel a little colder, and Ouyang Peiyue's pale and fragile face had hope, and she looked at the person happily.
Huo Yanting walked steadily and unhurriedly towards the river, the wind from the water blew up his wide robe and jade sleeves, the black hair rolled on his straight back, his stern eyes stared at the mother and son who were half hanging on the river, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the jade fan were white, and they kept gurgling.
"Big brother, you're finally here, they're going to drown your sister-in-law!" The five girls greeted them resentfully.
Huo Yanting patted his sister's shoulder and walked forward.
Ouyang Xu looked at Huo Yanting unexpectedly, because of Old Lady Ouyang, he had always been suspicious of Huo Yanting, and only said: "Master Huo, this is the housework of the Ouyang family, you better go back, don't hinder me from cleaning up the door and dealing with the evil obstacles!" ”
"Yes, don't delay us in handling household chores!" Several uncles also followed.
Huo Yanting said coldly: "My son's wife and children, why do you need to deal with it?" ”
These words made everyone a little confused, Ouyang Peiyue had an affair with someone and had a child out of wedlock, when did this child become Huo Yanting's? Didn't the two of them break off their marriage a long time ago?
Ouyang Xu was surprised and turned disdainful, only when Huo Yanting was worried about the Ouyang family's property and deliberately sold it to Ouyang Peiyue, the two of them worked together to harm him every day, and his heart became even more resentful and disdainful, "You don't talk nonsense here, how can this kid have anything to do with you?" When my grandmother was alive, she had already announced that the Ouyang family and the Huo family had broken off their marriage contract, and you and I had nothing to do with each other! If you want to take advantage of this and have other plans, I advise you, dream! ”
Huo Yanting frowned coldly, and said indifferently: "This son's marriage contract can be dissolved if she says it will be dissolved?" ”
