Chapter 002: The Daughter of the Guilty Prisoner? I like it!
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" A frail old man appeared in Zhong Ning's sight with a long and weak coughing sound.
I saw that the old man's eyes were closed, and the clothes on his body were a little tattered, but the materials of the cloak draped over him were extremely exquisite.
When Zhong Ning lifted the old man, his fingers obviously felt a soft touch of silk.
It seems that this old man is either rich or expensive, and the brocade and satin fabrics that can be worn in this Wuchang City are not ordinary people.
While Zhong Ning was thinking about the problem, Dr. Shen had already untied the old man's cloak and was carefully checking the old man's condition.
Suddenly, Dr. Shen let out an "ah", waved his hand in fright, and said, "This girl, where are you from?" Let's be smart! ”
Zhong Ning followed the sound and also found the big prison word on the old man's underwear.
In the Ming Dynasty, this prisoner character was generally only worn by death row prisoners, and it was no wonder that Dr. Shen was frightened.
Harboring such a prisoner is really looking for death, and at least exile and worse harm to the family.
"Doctor, don't panic, we were wronged, and my father was framed by a traitor!" The girl in the flower season was not afraid, and turned her head to stare directly at Dr. Shen.
"Having said that, there is no basis for what you say, you say that you are wronged, but there is real evidence?" Zhong Ning snorted coldly.
"My lord, as long as you can manage to let me meet Lord Qincha, who is ordered to tour the south, the little woman will be able to prove her innocence." The girl in the flower season is neither humble nor arrogant.
"We don't know your details, empty mouth and white teeth, if you deceive us, we will be guilty of defrauding the king." Zhong Ning's heart rippled.
"Fine? This is the little woman's customs clearance guide and my father's sea fishing paperwork. With that, the girl took out two things from a black cloth bag.
"Yo, the name is quite nice, Zhu Qimeng, it sounds like everyone's beautiful name." Doctor Shen led the girl's customs clearance path over and over again to carefully check the authenticity.
"The prodigal son, Hugh is frivolous and rude!" Zhu Qimeng snatched the road guide and said in a positive way.
"Surname Zhu? That's a royal surname, how did it get to such a point? Doctor Shen sneered.
"My ancestors were not surnamed Zhu, and my ancestors were given the surname of the country because of their great achievements in the war with the Yongle Emperor, and my father was hereditary to the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan. In the spring of last year, I was framed by a traitor, saying that my father colluded with the king, and the whole family was put on death row. Zhu Qimeng's expression was full of grief and indignation.
"Fortunately, God has mercy on you, King Ning's rebellious army broke through Pengcheng, and my father and daughter took advantage of the chaos to escape before they arrived in your land." Zhu Qimeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "After many days of eating and sleeping in the open air, my old father's old illness has relapsed, and his life is in danger. ”
"Empty checks, which anyone can write, are a matter of upper lip to lower lip. I'm not going to make this loss-making deal unless you promise to sleep with me for one night!" Zhong Ning smiled evilly and lightly picked Zhu Qimeng's delicate cheek with his fingers.
"Young master, don't be blinded by beauty, think twice." Dr. Shen had heard that this little Yanei of the Zhizhou family liked to mess around, but he didn't expect to be able to do it to this point.
Zhu Qimeng was speechless for a long time, looked at the old father with a painful expression, chose to be false and wronged, gritted his teeth and replied: "As long as you can save my father, I promise you that if our father and daughter can't solve the case, I will still be an official prostitute or a dancing girl in the end."
Zhong Ning looked at Zhu Qimeng with tears in his eyes, and he regretted the joke he had just said, and felt that he was simply falling into the ground.
If you can say it, you can splash it with water.
Zhong Ning cleared his throat: "Listen, everyone, Miss Zhu will be my wife in the future, the daughter-in-law of the Zhizhou family, and her mouth will be tightened for me, if the news leaks out, you don't want to mix up in this Wuchang realm!"
Zhong Ning knew that behind the screen were some scoundrels, and he had to coerce and lure him so as not to get into trouble.
These scoundrels eat and drink their own, and they also conspire together to trade medicinal materials, which can be regarded as an offensive and defensive alliance in terms of interests. Reporting that you can only gain a temporary effort, and you also lose a long-term meal ticket, the gains outweigh the losses, so these monkey spirit guys will not do this loss-making business.
That night, Zhong Ning placed Zhu Qimeng's father and daughter in a tenant's house near Dr. Shen's house.
First, this tenant house is secluded, and few people pay attention to it.
Second, it is convenient for the nominal father-in-law to see a doctor, and the frail old man can no longer stand the toss.
Thirdly, this is also Dr. Shen's suggestion, so that he can pay attention to the patient's condition at any time.
Although the tenant house is a simple bamboo building on stilts, it is still clean and hygienic.
The old man was placed in the attic, and there was originally a bamboo bed on the first floor, but Zhu Qimeng was not worried about the old father, so he simply laid the floor and lived in the attic.
Zhong Ning actually understood in his heart that this Zhu Qimeng was mainly to defend himself, and he was not very at ease with himself.
Zhong Ning snorted, and thought, I'm just addicted, I really take advantage of people's danger, this young master really can't do this.
The next day, Zhong Ning got up early, went back to the house, took Sister Yahuan Liu'er, and bought some young women's daily utensils and new clothes at the market.
"Young master, what's wrong? This is not a festival, but it is not born, so it will buy clothes for the slave family? But your kid is not so kind, I guess which Sister Yao you have a crush on? Sister Liu Er asked with a malicious smile.
"Sister Liu'er, you're joking, this time it's really serious, there's no nonsense, don't go to my father to sue me, the old man said, I'll give me the monthly money when I go to Yihong Courtyard again!" Zhong Ning blushed and was a little embarrassed.
"Yo yo yo, our Brother Ning is also afraid? But our lord is also for your good, you make a fox friend and dog friend fooling around, at most you will lose some money, and when you get old, once you get infected with a flower willow disease like the second young master, it will be terrible! Sister Liu Er laughed even harder.
"Shhhh Zhong Ning's face turned even redder.
In the Zhizhou Mansion, the second brother Zhong Ai is taboo, although those who know the inside story know that he has the dirty disease and left, but he claims to be a violent death from smallpox.
With the experience of the second brother, even if Zhong Ning lingers in Fireworks Willow Lane, he will never have anything wrong with the dusty woman.
Zhong Ning knew that he had suffered enough in his life, and he didn't want his son to bear the filthy name of the son of a prostitute again.
"Okay, okay, my sister won't tease you, the master is going to sleep in his wife's room tonight, will you come back to sleep tonight?" Sister Liu'er's eyes were full of expectation.
Zhong Ning shook his head and said that he would not return if he had something to do tonight. Hey, how to say it, from the beginning of the incomparably curious, and then to the later tasteless.
Zhong Ning always felt weird about this relationship with Sister Liu'er, he grew up sleeping together, and the lack of freshness is one thing, maybe more because there is no love, that is, pure warmth for each other.
Since seeing the young and beautiful Zhu Qimeng, Zhong Ning has a sense of guilt in his heart, feeling that beautiful love should not be mixed with impurities, and he began to alienate Sister Liu'er intentionally or unintentionally.
