Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Little County King
Yu Xiaocao saw that in the crowd of Chinese clothes, someone looked over and hurriedly covered his little brother's mouth. Who knows what kind of temper these officials have, if they collide, they can't eat and walk around.
Next to the young man in Chinese costumes, an old man with a white face and no beard, his eyes flashed, and he bowed his head and said something to the young man. The boy grabbed the reins and looked over from a distance.
Only then did Yu Xiaocao see the appearance of the young man clearly: those eyes as clear and dazzling as obsidian, shining with a compelling heroic aura. Beneath the seemingly calm eye waves, there is a sharp gaze like a falcon. With that handsome face with a deep contour like a carving, it shows a compelling momentum. For a moment, Yu Xiaocao felt in a trance that he looked like a tiger pounced on his prey, not a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
But...... Just looking at this face, how do you seem to have seen it somewhere? Maybe...... I watched a lot of stars in my previous life, and beautiful men all have commonalities......
"Second sister, I remember him!" Little Stone broke her hand and whispered. The people around him looked at him with incredible eyes.
Yu Xiaocao smiled dryly, secretly shook his head at the little guy, and nodded to the official who turned his head to look at him: "The child is talking nonsense, Tong Yan Wuji, hehe, Tong Yan Wuji......"
The handsome and noble young man had already ridden his horse and came this way. Around him, he was still surrounded by the crowd, or protected.
Finished! Is it too late to run? Yu Xiaocao's big eyes searched for a way to escape. It's a pity that just now, in order to let the little brother see more clearly, the two of them squeezed into the innermost. The crowd in the three layers behind him, let alone running, even if he squeezed out, it took a lot of effort.
Fang Xun, the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was entrusted with an important task by the Holy Lord to protect the safety of King Yangjun. At this time, he followed the prince of the county who was personally crowned by the emperor. He was surprised to find the two siblings in the crowd.
His sister's big flexible eyes made him feel familiar. Yes, a month ago, at the door of the woodware shop in Tanggu Town, I seemed to have met this sister and brother. My sister's calmness that is neither humble nor arrogant, beyond her age, left a slight impression on him.
The horse under the crotch of the king of Yangjun stopped two steps away from the Yu Xiaocao sisters and brothers. Zhu Junyang stared at the fair and delicate little face, and the big eyes that seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if he had fallen into a memory.
He was silent on the horse, his mouth was pursed into a tight line, and he looked at the Yu Xiaocao sister and brother without the slightest expression on his face.
Yu Xiaocao was flustered by him for a while-whether it was to kill or to give an attitude, don't stare at us like this, we are not peerless beauties.
"Mr. Fu, are you sure they are the king's saviors?" Zhu Junyang finally spoke.
In the months since the accident, he has been detained at home by his mother to recuperate. The date of the departure in September was also postponed by more than a month.
He has also been thinking about finding a life-saver, but there are many fishing villages near the accident site, and he doesn't want to look for someone in a big way. After all, it was not a glorious thing for him to insist on going to sea for a sea trial that day, and was almost killed by the waves.
can know that he doesn't repay the favor, but he Zhu Junyang can't do it. If the chief manager hadn't seen it and reminded him, he would have passed by his savior.
"Second sister, he is the one who was caught from the sea when we were rushing to the sea. If you look at the red mole on his ear, I'm very impressed. The ignorant are fearless, and Xiao Shi is still talking to Yu Xiaocao about his discovery with great interest.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhu Junyang's cold face. The red mole on his right ear was often teased as a rouge mole when he was a child, and it was also said that he was born by a woman in his previous life. Looking at it casually, it really looks like he has earrings, and he has always been ashamed. After being named the king of the county, few people dared to talk about the red mole in front of him.
Yu Xiaocao noticed the displeasure of the noble son in front of him, and wanted to seal his little brother's mouth. This bear child! Is the appearance of a noble person something we can discuss?
King Yangjun, who was in the embarrassing period of youth, was in a tsundere mood, and he didn't care about repaying his kindness, so he turned the horse's head and went back. From behind, his back was straight and his body was tense.
"Give them some silver!" The tsundere little county king suddenly stopped again. Thinking that the sisters and brothers were dressed in shabby, they were not much better than those called Hanako in Beijing, and they gave instructions to Manager Fu dryly.
Chief Fu bowed his head slightly, and returned with the order. He looked around and ordered the servant to bring his sister and brother to him, but before he could say anything. A tall figure broke through the obstacles of the official, stopped the sister and brother behind him, and knelt in front of him with a puff.
"The two children were ignorant and collided with the nobles. If you can't raise your godfather, please let my two children go, Yu Hai is willing to replace him. β
It turned out that Yu Hai finished selling fish, and when he heard that a nobleman went to sea, he also came to join in the fun. He saw the scene just now. Licking the calf deeply, the love of the son made him rush over desperately.
"Daddy!" Yu Xiaocao's eyes were red. All along, she has not been without complaints about this cheap father. It's not that a big man can't earn money, so that his wife and children can live like that. A man who can't protect his wife and daughter is not a good man.
Today's cheap father's actions completely changed her opinion of him. Not all fathers can do this for the sake of their young children to be able to risk their lives. In Xiaocao's heart, Dad's weight increased a few points.
Manager Fu also has a little respect for Yu Hai, a loving father. He picked up the tall and sturdy man with his own hands, Bai Shengsheng had a smile on his face, and said softly in a slightly shrill voice: "I don't know if the benefactor still remembers the Sprinkle family?" β
Sprinkle home? Isn't this the self-proclaimed name of a eunuch? The white-faced and beardless old man in front of him turned out to be a eunuch in the palace. Yu Xiaocao, who relaxed when she heard the word "benefactor", looked at the demeanor of the chief eunuch curiously and vaguely.
I wonder if this chief manager will be like the chief eunuch in "Dragon Gate Inn", with peerless martial arts? I can only say, little straw shoes, you have the truth! Think about it, how could the little county king, who was entrusted with the important task of going to sea by the saint, not be accompanied by a few masters?
Yu Hai stood up, and his body was even more erect. He looked at the chief manager of Yanfu carefully, lowered his head and thought about it again, before nodding slightly and said, "As a fisherman, no matter who encounters the scene of the day, he will help." The title of 'benefactor' is really undeserved. β
My dad is good! In front of the chief eunuch and a group of nobles, he did not show any timidity, and what he said was quite level. Yu Xiaocao looked at her father with a little admiration.
Manager Fu nodded with a smile and said, "Maybe for the benefactor, it's just a gesture." But after all, the benefactor saved the life of our county king, which is equivalent to saving the lives of the Sprinkle family and the entire county king's mansion. Please be worshipped! β
Don't say it's so good, who doesn't like you to worship it, come with something affordable, okay? Yu Xiaocao looked at the chief manager of Ouchi with sparkling eyes, and was so anxious that there seemed to be twenty-five mice in his heartβa hundred claws scratching his heart.
How could Yu Hai let the head of the family bow down? People worship the emperor and their relatives, which onion is he? He hurriedly helped Mr. Fu and said repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" β
Mr. Fu gently shook off the hand he had helped over, and bent down solemnly. After expressing his gratitude, he gestured to the little eunuch behind him and continued:
"Today's incident was accidental, and I didn't have time to prepare a thank-you gift. It's just a gift, not a tribute, but also ask the benefactor to smile. When our little county king returns from the West, the Sprinkle family will visit him in person, and then prepare a table to thank his benefactor. β
I saw that he took a heavy burden from the hands of the little eunuch, handed it to Yu Hai with both hands, and did not allow him to have a chance to refuse, and said: "The boat is about to leave, and the Sprinkle family is leaving!" β
When Yu Hai was about to catch up and return the burden, several officials politely stopped him. They don't care what benefactors they don't care about, it is their duty to protect nobles and prevent all dangers from sprouting.
"Dad, let me see what gift the chief manager gave us?" Yu Xiaocao, who was led back to the crowd by his father, couldn't wait to take over the burden in his father's hands. Drink! The weight was not light, she almost didn't hold it.
Yu Haigang just had time to say, "Wealth is not exposed!" I saw the old man Yu Tou and Yu Dashan, and they came over with a long face.
Yu Dashan looked at his honest face, with a sad look, and his eyes were full of horror and anger: "The sea, you son and daughter are too capable of causing trouble." Those are all big officials and nobles in the capital, and there are also princes or something, can we mess with them? And you! You rush up like this regardless of it, if you anger the nobles, come to sit down or something, our family will be tired of you! β
When Yu Xiaocao heard this, she was not happy: "Uncle? What's wrong with us? Was it murder, or was it arson? The nobles in Beijing are also reasonable, okay? Didn't they just call us over and ask for a question? Why are we tired of you? β
Yu Dashan stared at the same hanging eyes as Zhang's, and said unhappily: "The sea, look at what you are used to the child?" How do you talk to your elders? There are a lot of nobles and people, and I don't have the same knowledge as you. If you get annoyed, you'll be punished by the Nine Clans or something. Aren't our old Yu family tired of you? β
"Zhu Jiu Clan? That's a great sin of rebellion! Who believes that the two of us children are rebellious? Uncle, you've heard a lot of books! Yu Xiaocao was amused by his ignorance. In such a situation just now, it is at most a crime of disrespect, what kind of nine clans are punished? Uncle, you're thinking too much.
Yu Hai looked at his father and eldest brother, not knowing what kind of mood to treat them. Just now, the two of them dragged themselves to death, preventing him from rushing in to save the child. That's his dearest flesh and blood, risking his own life, and he has to save it.
He glanced at his eldest brother in a deep manner, and said to his father, who had been silent, "Dad, it's not the grass and stones that annoy the nobles, it's the people who recognize their sister and brother and call them over to ask questions." β
