Chapter 41: A good story
The oblique wind swept the rain alley, and the flowers fell unharmed yesterday? Ask the sky silently, afraid of seeing Li Daitao's stiffness.
There are many tricks in the autumn, and Xueyin ranks on the gold list. The jade wat is close at hand, and there are a lot of rampant hidden dangers.
Boss Wang also seemed to have noticed Chen Gongzi, but he just swept him diagonally with the corner of his eye, pretended not to see it, held his head high proudly, showed a smug smile on his face, twisted the willow waist, and walked over like a willow in the breeze.
Chen Gongzi thought to himself, could it be that he was dazzled? Then he turned his head to look at her back, and was sure that it was her.
Think back then, how many men didn't want to touch the amorous proprietress of Mingcuifang? But how many people would dare to do this? Just because she has the support of the prefect behind her, as we all know, she is the concubine of the prefect Zhao.
Could it be that Lord Zhao saved her? Soon, Chen Gongzi passed the news of meeting Boss Wang on the street to Sister Shui Yunjian Xue.
"How is this possible? How could someone on death row walk down the street, could it be her ghost? ”
"Where are the ghosts in broad daylight! Sister Xue shouldn't have forgotten who her concubine is, right? Chen Gongzi said.
"Sister Xue, who are you talking about who can still appear on the street after being convicted of a capital crime?" Sister Xue was talking to Murong Ningyan suspiciously, when she was heard by Li Gongzi, who suddenly appeared.
"I heard Chen Gongzi say that he saw Boss Wang of Mingcuifang on the street the day before yesterday, how could there be such a thing?" Murong Ningyan was thinking in her heart: Could it be that she found a substitute ghost?
"This Brother Chen, who is Boss Wang's concubine you are talking about?" Li Gongzi stepped forward to ask Chen Gongzi.
Who knew that when Chen Gongzi saw Li Gongzi, he showed disgust as if he had seen a fly, turned his head to the side, pretended not to hear, and ignored him at all.
"Chen Gongzi, it was Li who was wrong that day, how offended I was, please forgive me! I would like to ask you to drink alcohol to make amends for your sins another day, today's matter is related to Miss Murong Ningyan, and I also ask Brother Chen to explain it in detail. ”
When Chen Gongzi heard that this matter was related to Miss Ning Yan, he replied coldly: "In this entire Jinling City, who doesn't know that Wang Mingcui's concubine is the prefect Zhao?" Could it be that Li Gongzi is from another country? ”
Li Gongzi arched his hand at Chen Gongzi and said, "Thank you Brother Chen for telling me!" ”
"Sister Xue, Miss Murong Ningyan, this matter is not in a hurry, let Li go and investigate, everyone, farewell!" After Li Gongzi finished speaking, he turned over and rode away.
Soon, Li Gongzi got the news, it turned out that the county magistrate impartially enforced the law that day, and put Wang Mingcui, who bought murder and deserved it, and put him on death row together, but he didn't know that as soon as he was sentenced on the front foot, someone on the back foot found a scapegoat and fished Wang Mingcui out of death row.
What Chen Gongzi saw on the street was not a ghost, but Wang Mingcui who was at large.
Outrageous? A small prefect can be so bold.
Soon, Lord Cui of Dali Temple was ordered to personally investigate the case thoroughly.
The poor scapegoat on death row finally saw the light of day again, she didn't know why she was working in the fields, why she became a death row prisoner inexplicably, and why she was suddenly acquitted, was it just a dream?
The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Wang Mingcui was immediately beheaded, and Governor Zhao was also dismissed and investigated, and everything returned to his original appearance and position.
"Sister Xue, do you know who this Li Gongzi is? It shouldn't be easy for him to easily eliminate the people who are away from justice and let the prefect be dismissed, right? ”
"I also wonder, there are few people in Jinling City that I don't understand, but I really don't know the life experience of this Li Gongzi, I have never seen this person before, people! I just can't stand the thought, isn't it? Speak of the devil! ”
Murong Ningyan looked at Sister Xue's eyes, and sure enough, she saw Li Gongzi walking quickly towards this side.
"Sister Xue, Miss Ningyan, tomorrow Li will invite the two of you to enjoy the light and get together in Zuiyunxuan, Li Mou was very offensive to Gongzi Chen that day, and I also asked Sister Xue to help me invite Gongzi Chen, firstly, it can be regarded as making amends, and secondly, I want to thank Miss Murong Ningyan for his report."
"Thank you Li Gongzi, Sister Xue is responsible for doing it!"
The next day, Sister Xue really invited Chen Gongzi and went to Zuiyunxuan with Murong Ningyan to go to Li Gongzi's appointment.
A group of four people walked on the stairs of Zuiyunxuan, and Murong Ningyan was suddenly attracted by the two people in the window position.
Isn't that Han Gongzi and Wu Lijuan? Why are they here?
Seeing that Murong Ningyan didn't follow, Li Gongzi followed her line of sight and asked with concern, "Yan'er, what's wrong?" Have you met an acquaintance? ”
Wu Lijuan also saw Murong Ningyan, so she stepped forward to say hello: "Hey, Sister Yan'er, who is this son?" ”
"Lijuan, you and Han Gongzi are having dinner here? This is Li Gongzi! Murong Ningyan made introductions respectively: "This is Han Gongzi, this is Miss Wu Lijuan, the daughter of Wu County Order, and she is also my good sister!" ”
Li Gongzi also stepped forward to greet warmly: "Fortunately, I will be happy!" Smoke girl, since these two are your friends, why don't you all join us! ”
Han Gongzi looked embarrassed and said, "That's not good!" ”
"Nothing bad, Master Han, Miss Wu, please!" Li Gongzi looked polite.
"Then I have to be respectful, it's better to obey my fate!"
"Gongzi Li, you go up first, I'll say a few words to Sister Wu, and then we'll arrive."
"Good! Don't keep us waiting too long! ”
After a few people went upstairs, Murong Ningyan took Wu Lijuan's hand and whispered, "What's the situation?" My sister and Han Gongzi got along? ”
Wu Lijuan lowered her head with a shy, and said softly: "As my sister saw!" ”
When Murong Ningyan heard this, he clapped his hands excitedly: "Great! Tell me how you two got together? ”
"After I returned home with my kite that day, I was reprimanded by my father, saying that one of my daughters could spend the night outside, and I began to say that I was with my sister and you, but my father didn't believe it, and then I had to tell my father the truth about everything that happened that day."
"Then the county magistrate asked Han Gongzi to propose marriage?"
"Sister Yan'er, it's not like this, the day after I returned home, a matchmaker came to the door to propose, sister, do you know who it is? It was Han Gongzi. ”
"But how did he know about your home?"
"Han Gongzi later said that after he saw me and separated from you that day, he was worried that I would do stupid things again, so he followed me all the way to the house, saying that he fell in love with me at first sight!" Wu Lijuan was already pink and peachy at this time.
"It's really good, so Sister Lijuan also likes Han Gongzi!"
Wu Lijuan said with a shy face: "Through contact, Lijuan feels that Han Gongzi is courageous, brave and strategic, and he will definitely not be an idle person in the future, the most important thing is to be with him, there is a feeling of heartbeat!" ”
"Uh-huh, two people feel the most important thing when they are together! When are you scheduled to get married? Don't forget to let me know! ”
"How can it be so fast, my father is conditional."
"Conditional?"
"Although my father saw that Han Gongzi had a good character and was kind to me, he thought she was just a cloth dress, saying when he would get fame and would come back to marry."
"What does this test have to do with marriage?"
"Miss Yan'er, why don't you get old, the food is going to be cold!" Li Gongzi saw that Murong Ningyan hadn't gone up for a long time, and he couldn't sit still and came to urge him.
"It's a hot day, and you can only eat it when it's cold."
"That is, what are you whispering, and you are afraid that we will hear it? Let's talk while eating! If you, the protagonist, are not present, we dare not move the chopsticks, haha! Sister Xue also coaxed.
"Alright, let's go up here!" Murong Ningyan took Wu Lijuan's hand and went upstairs together.
After three rounds of drinking, the three sons were all full of red faces, and the words gradually increased, only to hear Li Gongzi say with a little drunkenness: "Miss Yan'er, I just heard you downstairs who came to marry you after gaining fame?" ”
Hearing this, Han Gongzi, Wu Lijuan, and Murong Ningyan looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
It was Han Gongzi who took the lead in breaking this embarrassment, and said bluntly: "Li Gongzi, you are mistaken, I know you like Ning Yan girl, don't worry!" It's not to marry her, it's Lijuan. ”
"Haha! Can you see this? Is it that obvious? When Li Gongzi heard this, he immediately laughed heartily.
"Of course! You follow others every day, who doesn't know the sons and daughters who go to the water and clouds! ”
"In that case, the person who wants to marry Miss Wu is Han Gongzi!" Li Gongzi was embarrassed to see Murong Ningyan, so he turned the topic back to Han Gongzi.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's Han, no, because it's just a cloth clothes, I was asked by the county magistrate when to get famous, and when I was willing to marry my baby daughter to me, it's really sad!"
"Seeing that the autumn exam is about to start, seeing that Han Gongzi talks well, his fame should not be a problem, it must not be too late!"
"To be honest, I'm not worried that I won't pass the exam, but I'm worried that I won't have the money to bribe the examiner and be impersonated, which will be a big event for my life."
"There is such a mediocre thing in the imperial court today?"
"Ahem! Look at this Li Gongzi, he seems to be an outsider who doesn't listen to things outside the window and only cares about reading the books of sages and sages, never cares about the affairs of the world, and turns a deaf ear to the well-known things. Chen Gongzi remembered the events on the streets that day.
Li Gongzi said with an embarrassed face: "It's Li who is lonely and unheard, which makes everyone laugh!" Then he said: "However, Li has a relative who happens to be in the ministry and is upright, Han Gongzi, you just have to rest assured and boldly take the exam, and I will help you find out when the time comes." ”
"If that's the case, Han Mou has met a nobleman, come, Lijuan, let's toast Li Gongzi together!"
Murong Ningyan saw Wu Lijuan and Han Gongzi's husband singing with her wife, and knew that the all-night long conversation with Miss Wu that night played a great role, it seemed that her heart knot was completely opened, and she was in a good mood, so she quipped: "Han Gongzi, you don't regret eating with us now, right?" ”
"Of course, I will be lucky! When Han gets married, I will definitely respect everyone here! ”
Back at Shuiyunjian, Sister Xue finally said the words that she had endured for a long time: "Miss Yan'er, Gongzi Li has a soft spot for you, shouldn't you come to propose marriage immediately?" That's what I'm doing. ”
"Sister Xue, what are you talking about? How can there be such a thing! ”
"Why not, Li Gongzi, he has long liked you, this is also a matter of time, I can't stop it, I just want to let you stay with me for a while, to be honest, I really can't bear to dig up your cash cow!"
"Sister Xue, don't worry! No matter how much he Li Gongzi likes Yan'er, Yan'er will not go with him, because Yan'er has a sweetheart. ”
"Oh? Where did Yan'er's sweetheart go? He knows how you will behave when you sing with me? ”
