Chapter 172: The Four Yuan Brothers

Xiao Cui and Begonia are in a stalemate with the two guards of the city, two are going to close the door, two are going to open the door, and the city gate is always half empty.

A bull's head suddenly squeezed in from the crack, startling the four of them, and the cow "mooed" twice, unable to advance or retreat.

Mingyue was so anxious that she raised her whip and whipped the cow's buttocks, the cow was in pain, and screamed "moo", and squeezed in to the city gate.

According to Mingyue's assumption, the ox broke through the city gate first and continued to rush towards the city, so that it would get rid of the small soldiers defending the city, and it would take no time or tongue at all, let alone silver.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality slapped Mingyue hard, because the cow was free when he squeezed into the city gate, but he played a bullish temper with Mingyue, and he lay on the ground and didn't leave.

At this time, Mingyue happened to be standing between the two small soldiers, easily held by a bright steel knife on her neck, and her previous momentum was like a balloon that had leaked air, and she couldn't be arrogant anymore.

There were five hundred crows flying over Mingyue's head at the same time, which was really embarrassing.

Seeing that Mingyue was in distress, Haitang hurriedly raised the bronze plaque on his body and said, "Stop!" I'm really here to find my man, my man is really Wei Yan. ”

If it was said that the owl decoration on the bronze medal in the past, the soldiers guarding the city did not recognize it, but after the incident that had just passed the city, he naturally understood that this owl was the symbol of the Wei family, and he naturally did not dare to do arrogant things again.

Begonia was surprisingly victorious, Xiaocui was not to be outdone, straightened her chest, took off a jade pendant given to her by Wei Lai on her dress, and bluffed: "I also came to find my man, my man is Wei Lai." ”

The jade color was worth nothing at first glance, and the little soldier didn't dare to squeak, his eyes glared at Mingyue and said, "What are you doing here?" Also came to find your man? There are no guards around Lord Wei! ”

In the eyes of the fat-headed soldier, Mingyue is a little peasant girl, and she has climbed the sky to become rich and noble, just like begonias and Xiaocui, casually seducing a guard and the like, but Wei Zhixing went out simply, only taking Wei Yan and Wei Lai, and no one else.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bing looked unkind, as if he wanted to find out something flaw from Mingyue, to be exact, it should be to find out what is not a flaw.

Mingyue's face was even more unnatural, what are you doing by yourself, looking for a man? It seems that he can't come up with a reason to convince himself, but a voice in his head desperately tells himself that he wants to see him, as long as it is not dangerous.

Mingyue lowered her heart, took out the dragon bird dagger in her arms with a hard head, shook it in front of the little soldier, and nodded calmly.

The two soldiers only glanced at it, and saw that there was not even a decorative gem on the dagger, and their expressions were quite disapproving.

Mingyue was helpless, no wonder the little soldier didn't know this treasure dagger, didn't he seem to be blind at the beginning, he mistakenly let the pearl be covered with dust, and regarded the dragon bird treasure dagger as an ordinary commodity that could be bought on the roadside, who knew that it was worth a fortune.

Mingyue handed the dagger to Begonia, and continued to rummage through other things on her body that could be proven, and found that in addition to this dagger, the only thing that connected the relationship between the two was the purse that was not sent.

Mingyue was ruthless, like an begonia, stretched out her purse in front of Xiao Bing and said, "This is my man's, my man is Wei Zhixing!! ”

Sure enough, when the two little soldiers saw the purse embroidered with owl patterns, they were stunned at first, and then as if they had heard the biggest joke in their lives, they laughed breathlessly and said: "Little girl, can you treat our brothers as melon seeds?" Which of the things used by Lord Wei is not valuable? The woman that Lord Wei has a crush on, which one is not everyone's boudoir embroidery? In the afternoon, I entered the city, and the momentum of the front and back hugs, saying that it was almost the princess who went out on patrol, and as soon as I entered the city, I inquired about Lord Wei, who was wearing a god ice jade that could only be seen in legends, and there was also an owl engraved on it, and the eyes were all inlaid with female snails......"

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, lightning and thunder flashed in her head, and she only heard those few words "The princess is on patrol" and "Shenbing Jue Jade", it turns out that the owl's brand, in addition to copper, silver, gold, and jade, should be the most noble symbol of the Wei family, and the material is a rare Shenbing Jue Jade in the world.

So, Wei Zhixing hurriedly returned to the county seat, has something to do with that woman? Who is she? Can Wei Zhixing brave the wind and snow before the Chinese New Year's Eve, leave himself, and return in a hurry? Isn't it Wei Zhixing's sister? Looking at Wei Zhixing's ashamed and shackled eyes looking at him before leaving, nine times out of ten it is not, so who is she?

A strand of bitterness gradually returns to the throat from the bottom of the heart, and cannot be suppressed. Mingyue's eyes were slightly red, she raised her eyes to look at the sky, and forcibly pulled back the bitterness, and there was a kind of fear in her heart of this Chaoyang County, but she didn't want to go in to find out.

Begonia saw that Mingyue was unhappy, pulled out the dragon bird dagger in his hand, and cut down the big ring knife edge of the fat soldier, the dagger was like lightning, like a broken bamboo, and the big knife was broken in two, falling to the ground, making a crisp sound of choking waves, bluffing the hearts of the two soldiers, and before the fire started, the begonia had already taken the lead in anger, and the willow eyebrows were raised, and his face was like ice: "What are you doing so much?" How can ordinary people easily ignore the affairs of adults?! If you don't let you go, Guan Bao let you eat my husband's poison! ”

Begonia was about to take it out of her arms, Xiaobing was obviously frightened by the momentum of her waving hand and breaking the knife, looked at each other, and did not dare to make any more branches, and watched Mingyue and the three of them get on the ox cart, stabbed lightly on the cow's buttocks, and the ox cart went away, comparable to a divine horse.

At this time, Mingyue's mood was very different from when she had just rushed into the city, such as knocking over the five-flavor bottle, which was very delicious and complicated.

When the three of them entered the city, they did not rush to the county post to find the Wei master's servant, but stayed in a simple inn opposite.

Mingyue entered the inn, but it was full, and she discussed with the shopkeeper for a long time, and finally because she played the name of Li Chengyue and Li Zhukuai, she temporarily vacated a room for the three of Mingyue.

The man who made room for Mingyue was a man surnamed Yuan who looked quite kind, and they were a group of four brothers, escorting his sick old father to come here, ready to go into the mountains to pick thousand-year-old ginseng.

Because his father coughed up two mouthfuls of blood from time to time, and his face covered most of his face like a long leprosy, he couldn't see his true face clearly, which made the shopkeeper very disgusted, and he was very unkind to the four brothers, if it weren't for the sake of twice as many rooms, he would have driven the group of five out of the inn long ago.

In order not to affect the other guests, the father only showed up in the first two days, and after that, the cat did not come out of the house, and even the meals and the thatched house were solved in his own house.

The arrival of the three masters and servants of Mingyue is also known as Li Chengyue's friend of Li Zhukuai, and the shopkeeper happily drove the four brothers into the firewood room, leaving only his father's room.

The four Yuan brothers don't think it's a pestle, as long as they don't drive their father out, they obey the shopkeeper's words, and go into the mountains to pick ginseng most of the time during the day, and when they don't go out to pick ginseng, they will rush to help the shopkeeper do some water

, collecting firewood and other work within his ability, I don't care at all.

Although Mingyue can't get used to the shopkeeper's bullying of honest people, she is the direct beneficiary, there is no shopkeeper's "bully", and the three of them live in the firewood room.

Early the next morning, Mingyue got up early, had breakfast in the lobby, specially ordered a lot of steamed buns, and invited the Yuan brothers to eat together.

The door curtain was lifted, and the shopkeeper walked straight to the table where Mingyue was sitting with Li Chengyue. Seeing Li Chengyue, the Yuan brothers' faces changed, a flash of panic flashed, and they looked at each other, and one of them had a ruthless look on his face and put his hand into his arms.

The eldest brother pressed the younger brother's hand, his fingers cocked, and pointed to the direction of the "daddy" room upstairs, several people took a deep breath, and their faces returned to the self-restraint of the peasant man, and stood up slightly, hugged his fist at Mingyue, and said with a little childish farewell: "Girl, daddy is still starving, and my son doesn't dare to enjoy it alone, I will wait for the house to serve and eat, and thank the girl for the buns and soup." ”

The four brothers gave a perfunctory salute and turned back upstairs.

Mingyue nodded clearly, and watched the four of them leave, then turned her eyes to Li Chengyue.

Looking at the shopkeeper on Li Chengyue's side, he understood that this shopkeeper was a smart one, and he was afraid that he would pull the banner to make a tiger skin, this was to report to Li Chengyue, if he had a close relationship with Li Chengyue, he would ask for personal favors, and it would be smooth sailing to open an inn at the yamen in the future; If he didn't know him, he happened to send himself to Li Chengyue, and let this catcher come to help him punish himself.

Li Chengyue smiled at Mingyue with a gentle face and said, "Why did Miss Mingyue come to the county seat empty?" Don't live in the county post, but live in an inn? ”

Mingyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled and saluted Li Chengyue and said: "Li Zhukuai, thanks to the care of Lord Cheng and Li Zhukuai, my mother can be wronged, and the New Year is approaching, prepare some New Year's goods to visit your lord and you." ”

Li Chengyue smiled with a smile on his face, and scratched his beardless chin embarrassedly and said, "What is this!" Your mother was wronged, after this big change, has your mother been better these days? ”

Mingyue nodded in response, although Liu's mood was not good, but the overall was not bad, eating, drinking, and sleeping had recovered almost as before, but this marriage was bumpy and bumpy, which made Liu's sigh every time.

Li Chengyue was enthusiastic, waiting for Mingyue to have breakfast, and wanted to accompany Mingyue back to the county post to meet Cheng Hongluo.

Such enthusiasm made Mingyue embarrassed, and she said that she was sending a festival salute to Lord Xie Cheng and Li Zhukuai, but she came empty-handed, and she didn't even have a piece of candy.

Mingyue hurriedly glanced at Begonia, and she slowed down to eat tea, delaying time, and waited for Begonia to buy three gifts of wine, tea and sugar, and then went to the opposite county post with Li Chengyue.
