Chapter 111
Li Yunqing had just drunk a cup of tea when she heard a commotion downstairs, and her footsteps were walking on the wooden floor, making an obvious thumping sound. (See, see, again)
The doors of the other private rooms on the second floor where they were all opened, and there was a sound of footsteps, as if they had all gone out to see the excitement.
Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows, gently put down the cup, glanced at Cao Ba, and the two decided to go out to have a look.
As soon as I walked out of the private room, I saw that the railing on the second floor was almost full of people, all of whom were excited, looking at the things downstairs fixedly.
Li Yunqing and Cao Ba also walked over, looked down, and saw a woman surrounded by countless servants, coming in steps.
The woman is twenty-eight years old, with apricot eyes and red lips, graceful posture, high eyebrows, and a domineering color. A long skirt with gold thread embroidery outlines Miaoman's figure, and the cloud smoke brocade between the arms is as light as a fairy, and it is beautiful to be born step by step. Her long hair was curled up, decorated with a crystal clear white jade hairpin, and the tassels were shiny and shiny, just like her person.
The posture is average, but the whole person is the glow of a local tyrant.
Countless servants waited for the eldest lady with trepidation, and there were people who rolled out the red carpet and sprinkled colorful petals on the way she walked, and five heads clasped the ground to welcome her as she walked.
Such an amazing picture made even Li Yunqing, who grew up in the imperial city since childhood, feel dumbfounded.
"This is Wu Huguo's daughter, Wu Wu's country." Cao Ba hung on the railing and shrugged his nose disapprehantly.
Li Yunqing's clear eyes moved slightly, there was a trace of coldness in her eyes, and her casual gaze fell on this beautiful woman who was in trouble, and the corners of her lips pulled up a touch of sarcasm.
Who would have thought that in this southwestern region, which is famous for its poverty, there would be a group of "soil emperors" who are extremely poor and extravagant.
It's really a poor place, there are people who are so rich.
Looking at Wu Qiuguo's guy, he is worth a lot of money, and he is almost worth five dresses made by the lady in the palace.
I saw that Wu Wuguo was elegantly and dignified with his skirt and walked slowly to the stage.
The stage of the restaurant is generally used to let the artist play the piano and dance, but at the moment it is full of flowers, and there is an ingenious rattan chair in the middle, clustered among the flowers, Wu Wuguo sits down like this, like a fairy in the flowers.
The corners of her red lips pulled up a reserved smile, pinched a flower from the side, gently put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, making an elegant and enjoyable appearance.
"Miss, your flower tea." A woman dressed in a pale pink dress, like a close-fitting maid, leaned over with a flattering face, held a crystal cup full of flower tea above her head, and respectfully handed it to Wu Guoguo.
Wu Wuguo's beautiful eyes glanced at the maid lightly, smiled, pinched the orchid finger, picked it up with a thousand manners, sniffed it gently, and finally said the first sentence: "What kind of flower is this flower?" ”
Wu Guoguo's voice was pinched and soft, but he could feel the background of her hoarse voice, which was still very harsh in his ears.
When the maid heard this, like her master, she laughed proudly, pinched her voice and said in a weird voice: "Miss Hui's words, this flower is the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which has just been sent from the Tianshan Mountain. ”
"Oh?" Wu Guoguo raised his willow eyebrows, put his nose close to the cup, closed his eyes slightly, and then touched the tip of his nose with his fingertips, as if he was surprised, and said, "Yes, it's cool." ”
A large number of people around looked at them in an extremely disgusting show, but said against their will.
"Wow, is this Miss Wu Wuguo, it's really beautiful."
"Yes, yes, if I can marry Miss Woe Guo, I will definitely die of joy."
"Just you? Will Miss Woe Country take a look at you? The toad wants to eat swan meat. ”
A burst of praise from the people around made Wu Qiuguo a little more complacent, straightened his waist, gracefully handed the teacup to the maid, and gave her a look.
The maid nodded flatteringly, and then said to the onlookers under the stage: "There are rewards for everything!" ”
Naturally, there was a burst of thanks.
Wu Qiuguo folded his hands on his knees, and said with a smile: "I think everyone knows that Miss Ben is sixteen years old this year, but she is not married yet. So my father wanted to open a ring for Miss Ben to recruit relatives, and invite the world's sons and knights to participate, and there would be a reward of one hundred taels of silver no matter whether she won or lost. ”
When the onlookers heard that it was Wu Wuguo recruiting relatives, they were all lacking in interest, after all, who wanted to marry a fragile vase and go back to put it? Can't be harsh a little bit, who can stand this?
But when they heard the last sentence, their eyes lit up.
One hundred taels!
That's their food expenses for two or three years!
Don't go, don't go!
So when he spoke, he immediately caused a commotion.
"I want to participate! I want to participate! ”
"I've admired Miss Woe Guo for a long time, and I want to participate too!"
Everyone was extremely excited, seeing Wu Wuguo's shy smile, their hearts were even more proud, thinking that she Wu Wuguo was the daughter of the governor, and she looked like she was the dream lover of men in the world.
There is no doubt about it.
Wu Guoguo pretended to be shy and half-squinted, and glanced at the little maid.
The maid understood, and hurriedly took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "Come on, come on, if you want to participate, hurry up here to register!" ”
Before the words fell, a group of people rushed to register.
The people in the private room on the second floor also walked down one after another, scrambling to register, afraid that they would not be able to win it.
Only Li Yunqing and Cao Ba stood on the second floor and did not move.
Li Yunqing looked down coldly, shook his head, and just turned around to go back to the private room, he heard the bottom say, "Hey, why don't you two come to register?" ”
It was a crisp female voice, probably the maid beside Wu Qiuguo.
The pink-clothed maid's domineering opening caused Wu Fuguo to also look up, and when he saw two people who were not moving like a mountain, he was displeased.
She recruited relatives from Wu Woguo, and these two people were indifferent? That's impossible! Unless they are blind and she is so beautiful, how can any man not want to marry her?
Li Yunqing still turned her back to them and didn't speak, just paused because of that step, then chuckled at the corner of her lips and walked into the private room slowly.
"You!" The maid gritted her teeth angrily, and Wu Qiuguo's face suddenly showed an extremely cold look, and she glanced at Cao Ba next to her resentfully, as if threatening him, if he didn't go down to register, he would be stripped of his skin and bones.
It's a pity that Cao Ba was afraid of her, she pulled her lips speechlessly, spread her hands innocently at Wu Qiuguo, turned around disapprerovingly, and followed Li Yunqing into the private room.
Wu Qiuguo gritted his teeth, angry, and almost didn't crush the flowers next to his hand, and his whole body was full of cold breath.
"Miss"
The maid whispered tremblingly on the side.
Wu Qiuguo swept over with a cold eye, the maid's eyes were full of panic, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she only heard Wu Qiuguo sneer: "I don't want these two people to see tomorrow's sun again, understand?" ”
"Understood." The maid nodded categorically, and said with a flattering smile, "Miss Mo Qi, those two people are probably blind, I'll go find someone to get rid of them." ”
"Hmm." Wu Qiuguo smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his hand with great grace, and let the servants support her, and the dignity left step by step.
A large group of maids and cats behind her cleaned up the stalls, and with the departure of Wu Qiuguo, all the stalls and flowers were taken away one by one.
As soon as she left, the others scattered away, not daring to talk about this ancestor at all, and could only read the other party's disdain from their eyes.
Cao Ba walked into the private room, Li Yunqing held a cup of tea, looked at him and smiled: "Why don't you register?" ”
Cao Ba glanced at her speechlessly, sat down, and looked unwilling, "I'll tell you, if you have any plans, go by yourself, don't pit me."
He didn't want to see that Wu Qiuguo again.
That contrived gesture is really an eyesore.
Li Yunqing shook his head innocently: "How can I cheat you, but I just want you to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and then pretend to marry Wu Qiuguo, sneak into the governor's mansion to get incriminating evidence." ”
Li Yunqing said it was not simple, but Cao Ba refused with a face, and there was no room for negotiation: "Don't!" ”
He didn't want to marry that woman, it was impossible to kill him!
"Alas" Li Yunqing sighed faintly, in fact, she also knew in her heart that Cao Ba would not agree, but she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
She's always liked to outwit and don't do it if she can.
"Then where do I go to find someone who looks good, has good martial arts, and can help us?" Li Yunqing spread her hands helplessly.
Cao Ba rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
If you don't have the right candidate, you can't pit your own people.
That's right!
Cao Ba suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at Li Yunqing playfully, and said, "You go, aren't you just a person who looks good and can do Gu magic?" ”
Lee Yunqing: ""
It's not impossible for her to go, but she doesn't really want to.
After all, she is a woman, and it is really weird to let her marry another woman
Li Yunqing wiped her face indiscriminately, and glanced at Cao Ba with disgust: "Useless guy." ”
Cao Ba: ""
"Well, I'll think again." Li Yunqing rubbed her hair and glanced outside casually, the street was still bustling with traffic, and Wu Qiuguo's flowery sedan chair just walked over.
Flower petals were scattered all the way, and the people were accustomed to it, and the children even picked up the petals to play, and even beggars picked up the petals to eat, probably because they were hungry.
Li Yunqing narrowed her eyes, overflowing with a touch of coldness.
She especially wants to one day be able to let all the people live a life of peace and clothing, peace and prosperity, that is the result of her hard work.
And these people who squandered the blood and sweat of the people will be punished as they deserve.
But Cao Ba looked at the sky with a complicated expression, and estimated that at this time, the ghost of the Northern Night Monarch should have arrived, right?
Ordinary carriages are naturally not so fast, but Bei Yejun is as fast as lightning, and he can cross three cities in just one day with a little effort.
"Alas"
