Chapter Fifty-Four: The Strange Groom
In the crowd of jurors, the drunken face saw that the public trial was over, and disappeared on the street with Qingqian and Rin Lian like ghosts. Everywhere I passed, the wind was gusting. The people who were passed by turned back inexplicably, full of doubts. On a hot day, how could there suddenly be such a cold wind? It's like a person falling into an ice cave. However, this anomaly is only fleeting. For a while, the walking people turned back one after another, drenched in cold sweat. Creepy and scared, this is the first time they have encountered something weird. When they asked their companions, they all felt the same way, and immediately went to the temple to worship the gods together.
Strange things have happened frequently in Wuling City recently, and the merchants in the east are a restaurant that is open until the third watch. When they were closing, they were greeted by guests. When the men stepped forward to stop them and politely said that they were closing, they found that they had hateful faces and were cold. After entering the restaurant, the fire in the restaurant is tilted, and the invisible becomes much smaller.
The shopkeeper led the cooks, entertained them, and sent them out. However, they were also generous when they arrived, and when they left in the early morning, they were rewarded with an ingot of thirty taels of silver. The display cabinet was overjoyed, but the strange thing was that after daylight, those ingots of silver turned into yin money. The shopkeeper who wanted to cry without tears shouted bad luck and didn't dare to open until late at night. Such strange things happen frequently, but no one has been killed for the time being. Therefore, the government only made secret visits, and the people did not dare to publicize it. This incident was recognized by everyone as a ghost, but there was no evidence, and for a while, there was no explanation.
Ling Feng and Yu Xin, Hu Yun, Ling Yun and others came out together, and the carriage was ready. The lawsuit was won, and everyone was in a good mood. They were happily talking and laughing, not noticing that there was anything wrong with the carriage they were in. Ling Xiaotian rode back alone, and Ling Feng didn't dare to persuade him when he saw that he ignored him. Lowering the curtain, the carriage slowly headed for the way back to Ling's house.
"Ling Gongzi, I usually see that you are not good at words. I didn't see that you were above the lobby, defeating the crowd, and this courage and quick wit made us admire. Hee-hee..., I used to look away, thinking that you were a useless boy, I'm sorry!" Hu Yun sincerely apologized
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Hehe..., this is all your credit. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare say a word if I was alone. You know, I usually stutter when I see people, if you don't believe me, you can ask my sister. ”
Ling Feng Niu's boast was high, and seeing Yu Xin's eyes full of disbelief, he hurriedly pulled out Xin to act as a shield. Ling Feng knew that among the sisters of the Ling family, he and Ling Xue were the closest. Moreover, only Ling Xue treated him like a younger brother, without a trace of selfishness. However, he believed the wrong person this time, and Ling Xue had no intention of helping him at all. Instead, he colluded with them to fix him.
Ling Xue said innocently: "Really? I usually see that you often accompany your uncle to meet some dignitaries and nobles, why are you so modest now? Although, you are usually very weak, but today you finally got ahead. ”
Ling Feng covered his face with his hand, and at this time, he wanted to bury his head under the cushion. Ling Xue is not helping herself, but yin herself. Everyone saw him covering his face without shame, especially the embarrassed eyes. Yu Xin and Hu Yun hid their faces and smiled, and for a while, the car was full of laughter. The carriage quickly leaped down the street, and the people around saw that it was the Ling family's carriage, and they all talked about the court.
"Ling Feng, Ling Feng ......" Mengyan chased, calling non-stop.
Ling Feng heard a familiar voice and lifted the curtain with his hand. Yu Xin and Hu Yun knew that things were going on, so they hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands, not daring to look directly. The moment the curtain was lifted, the carriage slowly stopped. Ling Feng saw that it was Wang Yun, and for a while, he was a little lost. Rubbing his eyes, the facts still haven't changed, and he was bored on the spot for a while. It's obviously Mengyan's voice, how did it become Yan Lan?
Seeing that it was Yan Lan, Ling Xue said goodbye to her father and Ling Feng, happily got out of the carriage, and went shopping with him. The carriage paused for a moment, and continued to fly forward at a rapid pace.
Ling Feng's wind in the lobby made everyone in Wuling City praise him. Mengyan took Yuzhen and bought embroidery on the street. Listening to them praise Ling Feng like a god, Meng Yan was both curious and secretly regretted that she shouldn't be absent today. Mengyan secretly eavesdropped, her face turned red, her sweetheart was sought after by everyone, and her face also had light. The people on the side were talking, and the matter between him and Lu Yu also spread.
"I heard that tomorrow is the day of the duel between Gongzi Lu and Gongzi Ling, do you know why they are dueling?"
"I don't know, it seems to be ......., maybe Ling Gongzi can't get used to Lu Gongzi's arrogance! A few days ago, he also wanted to bully my niece, and almost made her a yellow flower girl, so she was ruined. Alas, compared to Ling Gongzi's personality, this Lu Gongzi is really a villain. ”
"No, Ling Gongzi often helps others, and like his mother, he often gives to us poor people. It's like the living overlord, changing the law every day and asking us for protection money. Alas, the current life is not easy! It is difficult to be a good person, that Nangong Jingchen is so virtuous, it is not that she was half-killed by the slut of Dongmen Peiling. But now it's back, evil has evil retribution, and God has long eyes. ”
"Why, Third Prince Ling, is so indifferent to Nangong Jingchen? Aren't they husband and wife? Alas, he's really a wretch. ”
"You don't know this, I heard that Ling Hao had an affair with Mrs. Meng. That Miss Dream may be his daughter. ”
"Really?"
Everyone sat around curiously, and at noon there were fewer people who came out to buy things. These hawkers are usually like this, and when there are many people, they each do their own business. When there were few people, they would each get together and bite the root of their tongues. However, today they went out without looking at the calendar, and when they talked about Lu Yu's not, Mengyan had already entered a state of outburst. However, she was a lady and endured her temper. Picking out hairpin ornaments at the stall, in fact, listening to them continue. As a result, they actually talked about their mother, which was obviously insulting. Meng Yan was so angry that she was about to go berserk, and turned around to repair them. As a result, he saw the carriage of the Ling Mansion. Mengyan shook her hand happily while calling.
"Excuse me, is Ling Feng on it?"
The man who drove the carriage drove the carriage and plundered it quickly. Mengyan's call was hidden by the wheels of the carriage. When Mengyan opened her mouth and was about to continue calling, she saw that the old man who was driving the car suddenly looked back and glared at her fiercely. Meng Yan was stunned, the old man who drove the carriage had a dark face and a gloomy body. The look of death made Mengyan and Yuzhen take a few steps back.
Ling Feng heard someone calling out to him and was about to reach out to check. Yu Xin actually understood it a long time ago, and knew that it was Mengyan who was calling. Yu Xin was jealous in her heart, and deliberately stopped Ling Feng and said, "Ling Gongzi, you wait, I'll help you go outside and have a look." ”
Seeing her so enthusiastic, Ling Feng immediately accepted it happily. Hu Yun understood Yu Xin's intentions, this Mengyan was entangled with Ling Feng, and she would have no chance. Yu Xin likes Ling Feng's things, everyone knows it, and fools can see it. However, the two of them did not break the window, and the others were not too nosy. Hu Yun looked at Ling Feng curiously, he could have two beautiful women like flowers and jade at the same time, where was his charm? Looking at him stupidly, he couldn't find anything different. Hu Yun looked at Ling Feng in a daze, and Ling Feng looked at Hu Yun as a nymphomaniac.
Mengyan was stunned when she saw a beautiful head sticking out of the carriage window. Isn't that Yu Xin's goblin? Why is Ling Feng always with her? Could it be that he likes Yu Xin and Hu Yun, not me? Mengyan was in turmoil. Her own heart is indeed very chaotic and likes Ling Feng, but Ling Feng always snubs her. Although Lu Yu is attentive, the feeling he gives himself is a sincere sense of existence. Faced with choices, women are always confused.
"Is there something wrong?" Yu Xin asked tepidly
Mengyan shook her head, and Yu Xin saw that she had nothing to say, so she asked the groom to continue to drive the car. The carriage quickly disappeared at the end of the street, and Meng Yan looked at Ling Feng, who was full of confidantes around her, and tears burst out of her eyes.
Mengyan, who was in a bad mood, saw that these people were still bewitching the crowd, and immediately became angry and said, "You guys shut up all for me!"
A lion's roar banned all the surrounding dozens of feet. Those gossiping vendors, after seeing Mengyan's face clearly, suddenly ran away like a ghost. You know, if you run slowly, you will suffer. They were speaking ill of Mrs. Meng, who was Mengyan's mother. If they dare to offend her, if they stay and are caught, they will inevitably have to go to court.
When Mengyan saw them falling apart, she ran away, angry and red-faced. At this time, Lu Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, hurriedly led people to arrest all of them, arrested them, and tied them to Meng Yan and knelt in front of her. The moment Mengyan saw Lu Yu, she was very moved. She doesn't need fame, she doesn't need wealth. I only want one, and when I need him, he will appear in front of me. When he is injured, he can rely on himself. Mengyan and Ling Feng were childhood sweethearts, but the love she felt on Ling Feng became less and less, but it was Qin Yanjin, who was killed halfway, who was sincere to herself.
Mengyan took a step and threw herself into Lu Yu's arms, tears streaming down her face. The endless grievances in my heart, at this time, like a dam bursting, crying a lot. Lu Yu's heart was full of joy, who doesn't like to be able to win the heart of a beautiful woman? However, he expressed his wrong feelings.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, are these people bullying you! I'll stand up for you. Come on, bring them all back to me! Lock them up for ten days and half a month. Let them remember it for a long time, and the next time they bully people, they will have no more peaceful days. Lu Yu said to them fiercely
"My lord, I have been wronged!"
"Your Excellency spares your life!"
"My lord, let's go around the boys! We don't dare anymore, I have an eighty-year-old mother above, and a wife and children to raise, and I hope the adults will forgive me. ”
"My lord, please forgive me for the small land!"
Meng Yan wiped her tears and scolded them: "I don't plan to embarrass you, but you'd better take care of your mouths in the future." My mother is a person who doesn't like gossip and I can pretend I don't know, but if she does. Watch your mouths! Really, you don't do business, you get together and mess around. ”
They knelt on the ground one after another, bowed to Mengyan three times, and said, "Thank you!
Lu Yu glared at them and said, "Don't get out of here yet!"
They ran like rabbits and disappeared into the shadows in an instant.
In the corner of the wall, a line of businessmen lined up in a long line, really receiving money. Li Bo received the money, and his heart suddenly cooled. obviously said that it was three taels of silver, so they played together. However, now that there is less than a pair of silver, Li Bo said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, can you give a little more?"
This is the favor of Lu Gongzi, you should be content. If it's too little, hand over the money. "The boss looks like a ruffian
Li Boqing knew that in front of a group of scoundrels, politeness also turned into rudeness. Snorted coldly and walked away.
Mengyan lay in Lu Yu's arms, her heart warm. His face was full of happiness and his eyes were full of satisfaction. Lu Yu's conspiracy succeeded, and he took Mengyan around to play, and the two were inseparable like a couple.
