Chapter 184: The Eagle Falls on the Pig
Wei Zhixing sat silently in front of the couch, and when Miaoyu thought that he would sit so dry for a day and a night, the man suddenly stood up, put a silver ticket on his body on the couch, his face had returned to normal, and said to Luo Ping without joy or sorrow: "Take care of her, don't let her go back to the yamen, I can handle it myself." ”
Such a crisp and neat was beyond Luo Ping's expectations, and he said suspiciously: "You're not afraid that I'll be bad for her?" "Just now, it was still a heart-wrenching look of a beloved woman being robbed, but in a moment, she turned back into a heart of stone? Aren't you afraid of robbing her of her woman again?
Wei Zhixing tried hard to pull a smile, but he couldn't see half of the joy and worry in it, but a little more lonely, and said silently: "If it's not good for her or the plot is not treacherous, why do you bother to come here to find an antidote?" ”
Wei Zhixing didn't want to see Luo Ping. On the one hand, when he was investigating and knowing who Luo Ping's uncle was, he looked down on his uncle in his heart, a useless person who flattered him, although he did not disturb the dynasty, but he filled in some blockages from time to time; On the other hand, after seeing Luo Ping give the hairpin of "Phoenix Three Nods" to Mingyue, Mingyue didn't know the ins and outs, but Wei Zhixing knew that this hairpin, nine times out of ten, he deliberately gave it to Mingyue, such a scheming and cunning person is simply a scum among men.
Wei Zhixing obviously forgot, when it comes to cunning, Luo Ping and him are just half a catty against eight taels, and the old eagle falls on the pig, and he can't see his own black when he sees others black.
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left, appearing so inexplicably, and leaving so inexplicably, that the second monk of Miaoyu was puzzled, and said that he was "affectionate"? Wouldn't it be a useless effort to "help" Mingyue, first rubbing powder on her face, and then wiping blood on her wrist?
Miaoyu was secretly annoyed, and the sudden extra huge amount of silver tickets couldn't arouse her interest.
Luo Ping put the towel in the water and cleaned it, wrung it half-dry and half-wet, and carefully wiped it on Mingyue's face, as if peeling off a thin layer of egg green, moving inch by inch---- here are the eyebrows that are curved like willows, here are the eyelashes of cicadas like wings, here is the skin that can be broken by elasticity, and here is the lips that are as plump as peaks......
The man wiped them one by one, and the white powder was all smeared on the scarf, but the man was not surprised at all, just looked at the girl's face, and gradually returned to its original color, although it was still the same pale, but it was much better than the previous whiteness.
After wiping it clean, Luo Ping looked at the girl's face in a daze, his eyes rested on the girl's condensed eyebrows, unconsciously raised his fingers, learned from Wei Zhixing's appearance, and carefully smoothed the thick Sichuan characters with his hands, but like Wei Zhixing, he couldn't smooth it out after a few strokes.
Luo Ping pondered for a while, put his lips close to the girl's ear, and whispered: "Song'er has found it, and you can see him when you are asleep." ”
The girl's deep breathing gradually evened out, and the Sichuan character gradually unfolded.
Luo Ping suddenly smiled and said, "She's not worried, she's not worried!! "Huan De looks like a child who has won his beloved candy for the New Year, there is joy, and there seems to be a faint joy to defeat Wei Zhixing.
Miaoyu awkwardly took the towel in Luo Ping's hand and said abruptly: "You, do you see it?" ”
Luo Ping pouted and said: "Don't be clever in the future, the surname Wei is older than the old fox, just now he had powder on his fingers, and he deliberately sniffed under the wing of his nose, fortunately it is just ordinary rouge gouache, if you are found to be the slightest bit wrong, you will have become a lonely soul in the mass grave by now." ”
The towel in Miaoyu's hand fell into the water with a "snap", hitting layers of splashes, although the water was still warm, splashing on the back of his hand, but it was a cold air that penetrated the bones.
Miaoyu gasped and looked at Luo Ping vigilantly, Luo Ping had already gently held Mingyue in his arms, and his head and face were still tightly wrapped in the quilt when he came, making it difficult to see his head and face, and then walked away.
Miaoyu was sent to the lobby, and then to the entrance of Yixiang Courtyard, the originally noisy lobby was also silent, empty, and very different from the previous hustle and bustle.
The scholars had disappeared, and the red peony sat on the steps of the stairs like a withered flower, and saw Luo Ping leaving with a petite person in his arms, muttering that he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but the man didn't even look at her, strode past her, and went straight to the gate.
Red Peony looked at the direction of the gate in a daze, looked at the man's firm back, and was silent for a long time.
Miaoyu sent Luo Ping away, and wanted to go back to the house directly, but when she saw Hongshao's lonely appearance, she couldn't help but stop, and said with disdain: "I told you a long time ago, don't learn from Xie Zhichun, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog." Do you want to be the wife of Jiang Dacai? I think you still have to find a way to redeem yourself with the savings of the past few years, and go home to find an honest person to live! ”
Hongshao, who had always been tense with her, was unexpectedly not stabbed, but a little disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Miaoyu in amazement and said, "Sister Yu, is it he who is holding in Luo Gongzi's arms?" What are you looking for? ”
Miaoyu frowned, she wasn't sure how to answer, say no, Luo Ping was obviously interested in her; said yes, but it is ambiguous, making it difficult to see clearly.
Miaoyu thought for a while before replying: "Red Peony, although you and I are nervous on weekdays, but we are all people who have fallen into the red dust, I will persuade each other with good words, this old saying is good, good horses don't eat back grass, Luo Gongzi is pleased with you, but you have firmly refused, and Jiang Gongzi is close to a good thing, even if you can't do the main room, being a concubine is also considered to be good, don't be half-hearted and wavering, be careful to anger Jiang Gongzi, and leave a bamboo basket to draw water." ”
It's okay not to persuade her, this persuasion of red peony's eyes is directly red, I'm afraid that I'm afraid, it's too late to regret, I have been a bamboo basket to draw water, for the sake of the person she likes, she has spent many years of body and silver, and now, the person who is happy has not yet redeemed himself and married the door, it seems that he has begun to empathize with him, and he has become the most ridiculous handle.
Red Peony swallowed the bitter water back, tried to squeeze out a smile, and returned to her previous polite and unforgiving appearance: "I still say that my sister has great ability?!" As a result, I couldn't even keep Luo Gongzi, who I refused, tsk......tsk"
Miaoyu was so angry that she was so kind, but she was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, Miaoyu reached into her arms, shook the silver ticket of a thousand taels of gold in front of the red peony, and also said disdainfully: "Wasn't my sister old and dizzy before?" Missing such a good Locke Boy?! You didn't have to serve each other to get a bounty of a thousand taels. According to the rules of Yixiangyuan, my Miaoyu will get a hundred taels of gold, and I can redeem myself immediately, and tomorrow I can go to the county government to set up a female household, buy hundreds of hectares of fertile land, hire seven or eight people, and live a quiet life from now on. This is also thanks to my sister for rejecting such a good nobleman. ”
Red Peony's eyes were full of lust, and he said viciously: "What if you have good land, servants, and subordinates, you don't even have a man to rely on." ”
Miaoyu hugged her shoulders, still looking very indifferent and said: "There is good land, there is silver, there are servants, there are no men, it is better than no good land, no silver, no servants, be careful everywhere, when you are a talented woman, and a bunch of women grab a man, always worry about being taken off to be happy, sister, the talent is exhausted, the beauty will be late, how long can you imitate Xie Zhichun's talent?" Besides, just now, Jiang Gongzi's talent lost to Luo Gongzi, this Jiang Gongzi won't be like his sister, imitating the talent of which family, right? ”
Without waiting for Red Peony to answer, Miaoyu had already diligently gone to the old bustard to discuss the redemption of her body.
......
This day is not destined to be a peaceful day, and the city is full of hunting and running, searching everywhere for the two babies who suddenly disappeared.
A group of hungry catchers returned to the direction of the county office, and one of them pointed to the Donglai Inn opposite the county government and said: "Second brother, let's not search this Donglai Inn for the second time!" ”
Wang Er slapped the back of Xiao Zhukuai's head with his palm, and said angrily: "You melon seeds!" This Donglai Inn is opposite the Yamen, if you were a gangster, would you hide here? Even if he's as stupid as you, will he continue to live here after being searched? ”
The beaten little catcher grinned in pain, and replied with a smile: "It's still the second brother's clever plan, look, where else do we have to search?" ”
Wang Er looked at the gradually dim sky, pointed to the direction of the city and said: "Now the city is full of soldiers, and the thieves are also flustered, and they will not dare to live in the store anymore. ”
More than a dozen people poured towards the city gate like dumplings.
At this time, the Donglai Inn, which they ignored, Liu was anxious, anxiously waiting for the news of Xiaocui and others who went out to find someone.
The helpless Liu wanted to discuss with Mingyue, and went to the yamen to find Mingyue, and the officials guarding the door disappeared collectively, replaced by more than a dozen black-clothed and silver-armored guards, who scared Liu back with a knife.
Liu's heart was bitter, so he had to go back to the inn, Mingyang greeted him with a bitter face, took Liu's hand, and said worriedly: "Mother, Song'er has no news yet?" ”
Liu shook his head sadly, and when he saw his daughter's face was dish, he remembered that he hadn't eaten a drop of rice from noon to now, so he groped out a small string of copper plates from his arms, and asked the little second brother for six or seven steamed buns, one for himself and Mingyang, and the rest for Xiaocui, begonias and celebrities to come back before eating.
The two squatted at the door, even eating and waiting for everyone's news.
Waiting for the willows to rise in the moon, the shopkeeper and the guest officers had already gone back to their rooms and fell asleep.
Mingyang has also fallen asleep, still holding on to wait with Liu, Liu patted his daughter's back, and after a while Mingyang fell asleep, Liu carefully picked up his daughter, returned to the room, put Mingyang on the bed, and then closed the door tightly, and came out for the second time to continue to wait for news.
Just as he was about to push open the door of the inn, he heard a disgruntled man's argument outside the door that was only one floor apart, and the voice was as muffled as possible, and if he hadn't come closer, he wouldn't have heard it at all.
