Chapter 23: Robbery
Approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets are extremely prosperous.
However, in Ye Zhaopei's view, the more important reason for the prosperity of the streets is that Jiang Zhi has governed this eastern country very well, so the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
She had completely fallen into the blind worship of Jiang Zhi, and she didn't realize it. Perhaps, even if she realized, nothing would change.
Ye Zhaopei walked over slowly according to the instructions of the men, and across the distance, he saw a small stall, the woman standing in front of the stall was delicate, just looking at the side face, you could see the beauty of Allure.
She is Shui Lingyuan.
In this way, Yun Mang's vision is very good.
Ye Zhaopei was about to step forward, but after a distance, he saw a rather thin man, leading five strong men to take the lead towards Shui Lingyuan.
Ye Zhaopei frowned, thinking, why are there so many gangsters in Ledu now, and they are all women who love to flirt? It seems that she, as the queen, should indeed govern. How to govern it? Ye Zhaopei's character cultivated in Huoshan told her that it was very simple, just take a beating.
However, the current Ye Zhaopei is more inclined to take a good look at what Shui Lingyuan will do when facing these gangsters.
In this way, he is also standing in the position of a friend to choose the other half of Yun Mang's life.
Ye Zhaopei took a fancy to a tea stall with a very good viewing angle on the side, ordered a bowl of tea casually, and sat and watched the play.
The shopkeeper who brought her tea saw that she had been staring over there, smiled, and took the initiative to say, "This girl, that one is Shui Lingyuan." ”
Ye Zhaopei nodded slightly: "What about the man?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "That's the only son of a wealthy local businessman, named Wei Zhaokong. ”
Ye Zhaopei let out an "oh" and said, "Tell me again." ”
After being silent for a moment, Ye Zhaopei took off a jade pendant and put it on the table: "This, you can sell it for a good price." ”
The shopkeeper picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and sat down beside her.
According to the store's account, this Wei Zhaokong is eighteen years old, which is a suitable age for marriage, but because he has been pampered since he was a child, he is also a willful master. He said that he wanted to choose his own wife, and at the moment, he had been staring at Shui Lingyuan for some time.
Shui Lingyuan was born beautiful and had a gentle temperament, which is Wei Zhaokong's favorite type.
The shopkeeper analyzed that at the moment, this Wei Zhaokong led five strong men, and he was ready to show his manhood. He probably learned it from his father.
The old man of the Wei family used this method to find five or six beautiful stepmothers for Wei Zhaokong.
Ye Zhaopei nodded slightly: "Then what do you think of Shui Lingyuan?" ”
The shopkeeper said honestly: "After all, she is the granddaughter of the famous painter Shui Wuyuan, so she naturally has nothing to say about her temperament." There are a lot of men who like her, as far as I've seen, it seems that there is one of them who is an adult on duty in the palace, and his name seems to be Yun Mang. ”
Ye Zhaopei didn't say anything.
"Lingyuan." Wei Zhaokong stood in front of the stall, deliberately put on a cold expression, and called her.
"Do you want to buy rouge gouache?" Shui Lingyuan asked without raising her head.
"Lingyuan, it's me." Wei Zhaokong softened his voice, lowered his eyes and stared at her motionlessly.
Shui Lingyuan quickly lifted her eyelids, glanced at him, showed a somewhat helpless expression, and turned away: "Master Wei, if you don't buy rouge gouache, then don't hinder me from doing business." ”
Wei Zhaokong: "Lingyuan, don't be so indifferent to me. Look at me. ”
Shui Lingyuan didn't speak.
Wei Zhaokong thought about it, took out a large bag of silver taels from his sleeve, and put it on her stall with a "ding" sound.
Shui Lingyuan frowned and looked at him: "Master Wei, what are you going to do here?" ”
Wei Zhaokong said with a smile: "Don't let another woman show her head outside." Lingyuan, you come with me, marry me, you will have money to spend in the future, and you don't have to work so hard yourself. ”
"I don't think I'm working hard right now." Shui Lingyuan was still frowning.
"But I don't think a woman should be like this outside, she has to sell things to make money, you see, there are so many men who pass by here every day, they will stare at you, don't you think it's ......?"
Wei Zhaokong said this, even Ye Zhaopei wanted to beat him when he heard it.
And Shui Lingyuan was obviously very tired of his speech, and before he could finish speaking, she interrupted him and said, "Master Wei, if you like me, I thank you, but please also respect my hobby." I love perfumery and I like to make money with my own hands, I don't need anyone's charity and sympathy. ”
She picked up the money bag and threw it to Wei Zhaokong: "Give this back to you, even if you want to buy my things, I won't sell them to you." Grandpa used to tell me that the Tao is not the same, I agree with it, your concept is different from mine, even if you have more money, I will not marry you. ”
Wei Zhaokong was shocked by her actions, holding the money bag, unable to speak for a long time.
Shui Lingyuan knew that it was not suitable to set up a stall today, so she began to pack up her things and planned to go back.
And gradually there are more people around who are watching the show, originally Wei Zhaokong estimated that this time he would fail and fail, and it was a big deal to come again next time, but it was these spectators who caused a not so good result.
"Oh, isn't this Wei Gongzi? What's the matter, you're looking for the water girl again? An uncle said.
"It's Wei Gongzi, how many times has this been here, isn't it true love, can you come so diligently?" There is an aunt who says.
"Look at this posture, are you suffering a loss again?" This time it was a woman who spoke, but the tone was full of ridicule.
Wei Zhaokong's face was a little ugly.
Shui Lingyuan glared at the woman who spoke: "Wei Gongzi looks up to me, come to visit my stall, what do you mean by these words?" ”
The woman snorted and said, "Do you know that Wei Gongzi likes you, so don't you lose face by throwing the money bag in front of others like this?" ”
Shui Lingyuan said: "If you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, if I accept his money bag today, it will not give him face, and it will be irresponsible." ”
Ye Zhaopei couldn't help but praise - Yun Mang's vision is indeed very good, and Shui Lingyuan, a little girl, is indeed very worthy of being liked.
And the woman over there couldn't find the words to refute for a while when she heard her say this.
But it was Wei Zhaokong, probably because of the child's character cultivated since childhood, he originally had no special reaction in the face of Shui Lingyuan's refusal, but when everyone was watching, that meager self-esteem began to stir up, and it could not be relieved, so it had to explode.
"Lingyuan." Wei Zhaokong suddenly shouted.
Shui Lingyuan looked at him, Wei Zhaokong had a cold face, and asked her, "Are you going to never marry me in this life?" ”
Shui Lingyuan sighed: "Master Wei, if I marry you, neither you nor I will be satisfied, and we will only experience a lot of pain......"
"But you're not going to marry me anyway, are you?" Wei Zhaokong's expression became more and more dangerous.
Shui Lingyuan just nodded, and before he could speak, Wei Zhaokong flew up and kicked Shui Lingyuan's stall fiercely. The people around him were taken aback by his kick.
"Wei Gongzi? What are you doing here? Shui Lingyuan frowned at him.
Wei Zhaokong didn't answer, but said to the five subordinates behind him: "Give me the water girl and invite her back to the house!" ”
Everyone is not stupid, he said "please", but in fact he just wanted to snatch Shui Lingyuan back to the house. But Wei Zhaokong's family is rich and not easy to mess with, even if some people feel that Shui Lingyuan is wronged, it is not easy to help.
Shui Lingyuan frowned: "Young Master Wei! This is Ledu! There's also a gentleman above! You don't have a king! ”
Wei Zhaokong snorted, ignored her, and just urged: "Hurry up, go catch her!" ”
But the men behind him did not step forward, but the people around him let out one exclamation after another. Wei Zhaokong felt strange in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw that none of his five subordinates were left, and they were all lying in a row on the street.
A woman stood behind him expressionlessly, looking like she was shaking her hands, but her expression was extremely cold.
Wei Zhaokong didn't recognize that this woman was the beautiful sword that shocked the entire Great Qi Dynasty back then, that is, Ye Zhaopei, the famous queen in the palace today. Because he didn't recognize it, Wei Zhaokong's tone was also extremely impatient: "Who are you?" What are you here to do? ”
The surrounding spectators showed sympathetic expressions.
Not only did he not recognize it, but he didn't see it just now. The five seemingly sturdy subordinates were thrown out of the rear at random by the woman, one by one. This kind of strange power, even a man, may not be able to obtain it after a lifetime of training, but such a seemingly delicate woman can do it at will.
Or, she's a demon; Or, she's the Beauty Sword.
Although the people of Ledu said that it was rare to see a beautiful sword, they still heard a lot of rumors about her. For the speculation of this woman's identity, some of the people who watched the excitement around were more inclined to the latter, she was a beauty sword.
If Wei Zhaokong had offended the beauty sword in the past, it would have been killed, but at the moment, everyone knew that this beauty sword had been established as the queen by the king, and if he offended the beauty sword, it would also have offended the Jiang royal family.
That gentleman is not a character to mess with.
However, Ye Zhaopei didn't kill him, nor did he throw him away like throwing those subordinates, but just glanced at him, and said coldly: "I ask you a question." ”
Wei Zhaokong frowned, and asked her angrily, "What questions do you want to ask?" ”
Ye Zhaopei said: "Do you think face is important, or is life important?" ”
Wei Zhaokong was a little puzzled: "What are you asking for?" ”
Ye Zhaopei pointed to Shui Lingyuan on the side: "She, I'm covered." ”
Wei Zhaokong was stunned.
Shui Lingyuan was also stunned.
Ye Zhaopei's face was expressionless: "Are you sure you want to rob her to go home?" ”
