Chapter 121: Peer
Speaking of her brother's name, Hua Zidie was very proud: "My brother is amazing, the people of the rivers and lakes give him the nickname Xiao Li Guang, and he has a bow and arrow in one hand, and no one can beat him!" I occasionally learned a little kung fu from him, and it is not a problem to use it for self-protection on weekdays. โ
"However, he was suddenly wanted by the imperial court, saying that he colluded with Liangshan Qiangkou and plotted against the imperial court." Speaking of this, Hua Zidie's eyes dimmed, and then turned into anger again, raising a delicate little fist and saying:
"But I think my brother must have been wronged! We were born into a family of generals, loyal to the court for generations, and my brother is even more bent on serving the country, how could he rebel?! I must find my brother as soon as possible and find a way to prove his innocence! โ
It turned out that Hua Zidie was Hua Rong's younger sister, no wonder Zeng Hao felt that her appearance looked a little familiar.
Zeng Hao pulled Hua Zidie out of the small courtyard, lowered his voice and said to her, "I know where your brother is." โ
"Really?!" Hua Zidie's big watery eyes lit up suddenly.
She lost her father and mother when she was very young, and her brother Hua Rong always raised her with hard work, so the relationship between her and Hua Rong is very deep.
"Where's my brother? Can you take me to him? I miss him so much. Hua Zidie grabbed Zeng Hao's arm tightly.
"He's in Yangshan." Zeng Hao said softly.
Hua Zidie was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and muttered, "How is it possible, how can my brother be in a place like Liangshan...... Was he forcibly caught up the mountain by the Liangshan bandits? โ
Zeng Hao shook his head, and then told all the things about how Hua Rong was framed by Liu Neng of Qingfeng Zhai Wenzhizhai and could only be forced to go to Liangshan helplessly.
After hearing this, Hua Zidie suddenly realized: "I said, how could my brother go to Liangshan for no reason......
"Do you know about the robbery of the Jiangzhou Law Field a few days ago?" Zeng Hao asked Hua Zidie again.
"I've heard of it...... Could it be that my brother is also involved? โ
Zeng Hao nodded.
Hua Zidie suddenly became anxious: "Then is there anything wrong with him?" I heard that one of those people fell off a cliff and died, could it be him? โ
"Don't worry, he's fine, he may have returned to Liangshan now...... The person who fell off the cliff was me, I didn't die, this time I was going to go back to Liangshan. โ
"You are actually from Liangshan!" Hua Zidie's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Otherwise, how do you think I would know so much about your brother?" Zeng Hao rolled his eyes, "Since you want to see your brother, then come back to Liangshan with me tomorrow." โ
Hua Zidie immediately nodded in agreement.
"You go back and pack your bags now, and I'll send this group of people to the government." After Zeng Hao finished talking to Hua Zidie, he used a long rope to connect Zhou Cheng's ten people back and forth, forcing them to go to the official mansion.
Leading Zhou Cheng and ten people out of the alley, Zeng Hao saw that the monk who introduced him here at the beginning was standing at the mouth of the alley, as if waiting for someone.
The monk also saw Zeng Hao, and saw Zhou Cheng, who had a blue nose and swollen face behind Zeng Hao, who was tied up, and instantly understood something, and ran away.
"Stop!" Zeng Hao yelled and chased after him, and quickly caught the monk.
The monk immediately clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha name, wanting Zeng Hao to let him go: "Amitabha Buddha ......"
"Oh my mother!" Zeng Hao didn't wait for the monk to finish speaking, and slapped him directly in the face, "Looking at a very serious and honest person, but doing this kind of harmful thing behind his back, and Amitabha Buddha all day long, the Buddha's face has been lost by you!" โ
The monk kept begging for mercy and asked Zeng Hao to let him go, but he was still tied up by Zeng Hao and sent to the government together with Zhou Cheng.
Originally, Zeng Hao thought that he had helped the Puyang government catch such a group of hooligans, even if he would not get a reward from the government, there would always be a few words of verbal praise.
As a result, the official on night duty in the government not only did not praise Zeng Hao, but also shook his face to show him.
Zeng Hao even heard one of the officials muttering: "I have nothing to do when I am full, but I came to disturb our rest." โ
At this moment, Zeng Hao knew that the official mansion in Puyang was rotten, rotten.
Returning to the rented room from the government, Zeng Hao found that Hua Zidie was still sitting in the house, he was stunned and asked, "Are you going to sleep here tonight?" โ
Hua Zidie's pretty face was slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "What do you think, I'm just waiting for you to come back, I'm sleeping in the room next to me." โ
Zeng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death." โ
Hua Zidie: "??? โ
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Hua Zidie came over to wake up Zeng Hao and set off.
She couldn't wait to meet her brother.
Zeng Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes and complained, "Big brother, what time is it?" โ
"The sun is almost drying your buttocks, hurry up and get up and go!" Hua Zidie said energetically.
Zeng Hao glanced at the sky that was still dark outside, if he hadn't gotten up to get up, he would definitely have scolded the dead flower purple butterfly now.
After the two had breakfast on the street, they began to travel overland to Zhencheng.
The distance between Zhen Cheng is a little far, but Zeng Hao is not bored on the road, because there are flowers and purple butterflies that have been chirping beside him.
Her mouth really hardly stopped, and she kept talking to Zeng Hao, asking about her brother, Liangshan, and Jiangzhou.
But Zeng Hao didn't feel bored, what man could refuse to chat with a young and beautiful girl.
Especially when you talk about something interesting, she will be surprised to stare at you with big watery eyes, a slightly open cherry mouth, and a look of adoration on her face, with a "Si Guoyi" expression.
Under this gaze, a man's vanity will be greatly satisfied.
Walking with Hua Zidie, in addition to being eye-catching, has another benefit, that is, she knows all kinds of tricks on the rivers and lakes, and can avoid Zeng Hao stepping on thunder and being pitted;
And this girl also knows how to eat, drink, and bargain very well, and can often buy a lot of great value for money with very little money.
On the way, the owner of all the shops she had patronized had seen her leave with a resentful look, and hoped that she would not come back next time.
After a day's journey, the two finally came to Zhencheng.
found a hotel and opened two rooms, and the two went out to dinner.
In fact, Zeng Hao wanted to eat in the hotel, and he was too lazy to go out again.
Meals are also provided in the hotel, but they are not as rich as outside meals.
However, Hua Zidie was reluctant to compromise, saying that when she came to a new city, of course she had to go out for a good walk and see what fun and novelty it had.
Ever since Zeng Hao met her, she has always been so energetic, like a carefree bird flying freely in the sky.
With such a vigorous girl, Zeng Hao felt that he had become a few years younger.
So he didn't refuse Hua Zidie and went out to eat with her.
When she came to the street, Hua Zidie did not choose to go to those restaurants to eat, but found a food street, which stall has novel and delicious food, she will go to which one to eat, and then go to the next one after eating.
Zeng Hao also discovered another characteristic of Hua Zidie, that is, this girl can eat, and she is also the kind of physique that does not eat fat.
Although Zhencheng is a small city, there are many kinds of delicacies on the food street, such as snacks such as fried sheep, white sausage, preserved meat, batch cut sheep's head, spicy feet, ginger and spicy radish, summer moon hemp curd, fine powder vegetarian sticks, fine wontons, spinning pork skin and other dozens of kinds;
There are also more than 10 kinds of desserts, such as sugar cakes, flower cakes, honey cakes, and glutinous cakes; There are also a variety of refreshing drinks when thirsty: ginger honey water, papaya juice, lychee paste water, kumquat dough, snow bubble shrinking skin, perilla drink, coconut wine......
The most important thing is that the price of these foods is not very expensive, unlike the prices in some places in later generations, ordinary skewers can cost thousands of yuan.
So after walking around, Zeng Hao and Hua Zidie just tasted a little bit of each stall, and they also ate it.
On the way back, Hua Zidie pointed to a jewelry store called Bao Qixuan and said, "Let's go there and see what beautiful and cheap jewelry there is." โ
Zeng Hao did not refuse.
The two walked into the store, although the jewelry store is not big, but the decoration of the store is very high-grade, and the jewelry placed on the red silk - hairpin, flute, step rock, Huasheng, etc., each piece looks very exquisite.
Hua Zidie's eyes lit up instantly, and she walked over and looked at them carefully.
Girls are always irresistible to these things.
Behind the counter stood a young man dressed as a scholar, who looked like the owner of the shop.
The man walked out of the counter and came to Zeng Hao, and asked with a smile, "What does the guest officer want to buy?" โ
"Let's see." Zeng Hao replied.
The man nodded, and went back to the back of the counter, unlike the sales of some stores in later generations, which have been sticking to you and asking you to spend.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Hua Zidie stopped in front of a piece of jewelry and couldn't help but admire.
Zeng Hao followed her line of sight to look over, this is a gold hairpin inlaid with jewels, a leaf-shaped gold tray woven with gold wire, a white jade flower inlaid in the center, and a round walking bead in the center of the flower, the jade flower is surrounded by gold leaf-shaped ornaments, and there is a small gold bee on the lower part and both sides.
The whole golden hairpin is gorgeous and noble and cute, which is very suitable for a young girl like Hua Zidie.
"Do you like it?" Zeng Hao asked Hua Zi Butterfly.
Hua Zidie nodded: "But this golden hairpin must be very expensive......"
Zeng Hao called the young man and asked how much the golden hairpin cost.
The man smiled: "The guest officer has a good eye, this is one of the best golden hairpins in this store, and the price is one hundred yuan." โ
Zeng Hao was a little dumbfounded, one hundred yuan is one hundred taels of silver, which is probably equivalent to nearly 200,000 in later generations
MB, this price is indeed a bit expensive.
However, it is not that he can't afford it, as the leader of Liangshan, a hundred taels of silver is a small amount of money for him, and the key is that he doesn't have that much money now.
Hua Zidie was also dumbfounded, and bargained with the man: "Boss, it's cheaper, you look at the poor and sour appearance of my family's officials, and they don't have much money." โ
Zeng Hao: "???? โ
When did I become an official in your family? And where do I look poor and sour??
Zeng Hao's heart was full of grooves.
The man was amused and asked, "Then how much cheaper do you want?" โ
"A tael of silver." Hua Zidie stretched out a white and tender finger.
"Haha, okay, it's not much for a tael of silver, so I'll sell it to you for ninety-nine taels."
Hua Zidie shook her head: "Boss, you are mistaken, it's not cheaper than one or two, it's us who pay one or two." โ
The man's expression at the time was like this: (* ฬm ฬ)
Zeng Hao's expression is like this: ( อกยฐแดฅ อกยฐ ส)
Beauty, what are you bargaining, you are a knife 9999!
