Chapter 11: The Road Meets Dong Wan

These people who are good friends with Qin Ziqing are not much different in age, and now we will introduce their identities by age.

Liu Lingjun is the longest, eighteen years old, and was born in a family of eunuchs. His grandfather was the crown prince and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. His uncle is Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Although his father did not become an official, he was also a person, and his talent was quite famous in the Jiangnan area. He was personally taught by his father since he was a child, and he had the same chic demeanor as his father. In Yangzhou, it is the most popular among boudoir women.

The second is Dong Ling. The Dong family had only moved in with his father a few years earlier. Dong's father is currently in the history of Yangzhou Caoyun, and he is a fat poor, and how many merchants are stammering with the Cao family. His sister Dong Wan is Su Yingxue's friend. This Dong Ling is a little sleek, and his poems, books and articles are also rough, he is good friends with the four of them here, and he also has friends with those market hooligans in private. Brother Ziyun's matter, Qin Ziqing asked him to help, and it was only when he solved it.

Zhao Mingting, age 17. Slightly smaller than Qin Ziqing. The family is engaged in the business of Cao Yun, and there are contacts between major merchants. The cargo ships outside Yangzhou City, not to mention the official family, nine out of ten ships belong to his family.

Du Feiyu, 16 years old. His father used to be a military general, and when he was born during the Tartar invasion, his father died on the battlefield and became a posthumous son. Although the court received a lot of beneficiaries, but the orphans and widows were bullied by the clansmen, Du's mother was angry, quietly sold the property, packed up the gold and silver, and came to Yangzhou to settle down. Because of the bullying she suffered in those years, Du's mother wanted her son to become a military general like his father, and he couldn't be bullied anymore.

It is said that the five of them got together in the restaurant, and Du Feiyu was frustrated after fighting with Qin Ziqing, but he didn't care. A few people chatted and talked very happily. Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

Du Feiyu said impatiently: "We have almost eaten here, what is there in this hut, let's go out of the city to play." ”

Liu Lingjun slowly got up, looked at Qin Ziqing and Du Feiyu and said, "It's almost time, you should also fight for the victory." ”

Qin Ziqing listened, raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Lingjun, only to see his meaningful smile.

Du Feiyu said happily: "Exactly." "I called the shopkeeper to come and settle the bill.

Dong Ling and Zhao Mingting could only reluctantly follow out.

Several people rode their horses and ran all the way to the east gate of the city. Precisely:

Bo Zi Yingfa Young Lang,

Riding lightly and whipping the horse,

Passers-by turned their heads to look,

How many idiots send love.

The first day of the first lunar month is when everyone is leisurely, and many daughters in the boudoir are accompanied by maids to come out to enjoy the fun. At this time, Dong Wan was also among them.

The maid Qingyun pointed to the figure riding away and said, "Girl, girl, look, it's the young master." ”

Dong Wan had already seen her brother's big red robe, which was very dazzling in the crowd. However, her gaze only followed the tall figure in front of her.

Qingyun saw that the girl looked at the five figures with unswerving eyes, and shouted loudly: "Young Master Dong, Young Master Dong!" He shouted and waved.

Dong Wan was a little surprised that the girl would make a sound, but when she saw the stopped horse, she didn't stop it. He took the maid and walked towards the five.

Dong Ling turned around and saw that it was his own sister-in-law, so he drove his horse over.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"We have something to do outside the city, what do you call me for?"

Dong Ling asked, but he didn't see the girl answer, just looking behind him with a pair of eyes. He has been in the Fengyue field for a long time, and even when he realizes that there must be someone like his sister among the four people behind him. If any of these four people are worthy of their own sisters, they are all good. Why don't you be a favor, let them know each other, and know who the girl is happy with.

"These are all my brother's friends, come." As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and introduced his sister to them.

Dong Wan was also formal, dignified and generous, and politely courteous to everyone. Several people hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute. As soon as Qin Ziqing heard Dong Ling say that this was his sister Dong Wan, he looked at her twice, I don't know why this person who was praised as a talented woman wanted to give Su Yingxue a book like that.

I saw the woman in front of me, her eyebrows were like autumn waves, her eyes were like spring apricots, her lips were bright and her teeth were bright, and her beauty was like a beautiful beauty.

Qin Ziqing looked away, this woman is indeed beautiful in the world, if you talk about beauty alone, Su Yingxue is unreachable, and she acts boldly, so she came to meet and get acquainted with a few unrelated men in broad daylight, which is rare at the moment.

Liu Lingjun just returned the salute and got on the horse, as if he was impatient. Qin Ziqing saw him go away and rode a horse to follow.

It's just that Zhao Mingting and Du Feiyu froze in place, and Zhao Mingting gave a salute first, "Our two friends are in a hurry to go out of the city, forgive me, girl." ”

Dong Wan looked at the figure in the distance, the disappointment was all hidden, and replied with a smile: "Su Rili always heard my brother say that several sons are extremely talented, I have been curious for a long time, and when I see them today, several sons have different styles, but they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and the Toad Palace is just around the corner." ”

Zhao Mingting was overjoyed when he heard this: "The girl praises me falsely, and I deserve it." He was hesitating whether to invite her out of the city together, but he saw her turn to Dong Ling and said:

"My brother and they have something to do, so my sister won't bother."

Dong Ling had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, so he didn't keep it anymore, and only explained a few words to his subordinates, so that he could take good care of his own girl, there were many people in the city today, so he was not rushed. The family received the order. The maid Qingyun took out her hat and put it on for the girl. Dong Wan gave a salute and stepped back without saying anything.

Dong Ling and the three of them got on the horse again, and Zhao Mingting said with a smile: "Brother Dong has such a good sister, why don't you mention it in Su Rili?" ”

Dong Ling glanced at him, and clearly thought about his sister-in-law, and only said: "I'm afraid of being worried about wolves." ”

Zhao Mingting was told about the central matter, so he had to say strongly: "How does Brother Dong know that he is worried about the wolf?" Maybe it's a good match? ”

"There are few men in this world, and most of them are the mountain wolves, who lose one after another. My sister-in-law is a Mingming-like character, I naturally have to look at each other slowly, so as not to secretly invest in the pearl and harm my sister's life. ”

Zhao Mingting sneered: "It should be like this." If I had such a girl, I would have to worry a little more. ”

The two of them talked with their own thoughts, and they had long forgotten that Du Feiyu was on one side. Now he sat crooked on horseback, his eyes were confused, and he followed them in despair. It wasn't until he got out of the city gate that Zhao Mingting found out that something was wrong. A lively teenager who is usually lively and jumpy, he hasn't spoken for so long. When I looked back and saw him like this, I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, this stupid boy, I am afraid that I was also fascinated by the girl of the Dong family. Not to mention that he has an extra rival in love, I'm afraid that this little stubborn donkey will block his way.

Dong Ling naturally noticed it. Among the four of them, Du Feiyu's family background is a little more ordinary. It's just that Du Feiyu is a simple person, he doesn't have so much thought, if his sister marries him, he will definitely not be wronged by him. It's just that according to the current situation, he doesn't want Du Feiyu to come in. However, it is not necessary to act in his power.

Now that he had already thought about it, he shouted: "Brother Feiyu, why did you become such a lost soul in just such a moment?" Saying that, he made a careful look and stared at Du Feiyu, "Didn't you have a crush on a girl from which family?" Is it possible to get lovesickness? ”

Du Feiyu was told the central matter, and his face suddenly turned red. He hadn't done anything yet, but when he saw the girl from the Dong family, he felt that he was fascinated, and in his heart, he was like Dong Wan just now. He was spied on, and his heart was embarrassed, and he hurriedly denied it: "What is it, I just drank a little too much wine, and when the wind blew, I was a little groggy." I, I'm going back to rest, you guys go, tell Brother Ziqing that I'll ask him for advice in the future. With that, he hurriedly drove his horse back to the city.

Dong Ling still doesn't know what this bastard boy is thinking, but every time his sister goes out, she is guarded by the family, and there are two secret guards he sent to guard, and nothing will happen. continued to look for Liu Lingjun and the others.

It's just that Zhao Mingting suffered, and he was worried that Du Feiyu would retire to meet Dong Wan first, and he could only accompany his brother in a hurry. Later, he couldn't hold it back, and felt that it was good to test Dong Ling.

"Brother Dong chooses a son-in-law for Miss Dong, I don't know if I have eyebrows? What kind of people do you want to give it to? What are the requirements? ”

Dong Ling naturally knew what he meant, "Actually, when it comes to this, my sister originally had a big idea, if she chooses a son-in-law for her, you have to enter her eyes first, she thinks it is good, and my father and I can consider this person's family situation." ”

"Then I wonder if Miss Dong has ever said what kind of person she will choose?"

"You have to be eight feet tall and graceful. As a person, she once said that you must have the air of a gentleman, behave properly, be loyal to her, be wise and decisive, and not act recklessly and be rude. Lin Lin always said a lot, I can't remember clearly, anyway, this person has to be selected by her first before I have the right to speak. ”

Zhao Mingting listened to what Dong Ling said, and felt that things were not good, his family had lived in Yangzhou for generations, and the Jiangnan people were slightly thinner and smaller than the northerners. Although, to be fair, he wasn't low, he was the shortest of the five. Speaking of gentlemanly demeanor and good behavior, his family is a tyrant in Cao Yun, but he is afraid that Dong Wan will be looked down upon if he knows about it. In a moment, Zhao Mingting only felt cold sweat on his forehead. He replied embarrassedly, "Sister Ling really has an idea. But thinking about it, I was unwilling, "This New Year, the city is so lively, Ling Mei is walking alone, and there is no elder to accompany her?" ”

"My sister-in-law doesn't like her parents to interfere too much in her affairs, besides, she comes from a family to protect her, so she can't suffer."

"So, Sister Ling often goes out alone?"

"That's right, but all the places where my father took office have been seen by her, even the neighboring cities, they must be seen. More time than I've been out. That's why he assigned her the secret guard early to keep her safe.
