Chapter 15: The Farce of the Market

Putting aside the group of 38 guards in Mu Wangfu, He Xiaoqiao and his party happily rushed to the bustling street market, no matter what stalls they saw, they would rush up to buy them.

Cai Lian is the age of Aimei, as soon as she sees the dazzling array of rouge gouache headdresses and hand towels on the street, she can't take her eyes off and can't move, and He Xiaoqiao is a foodie who is naturally a variety of crazy sweeping delicacies from the street to the end of the street, with the life motto of preferring to eat wrong and not let go, he ate a round belly all the way, except for Mu Zinan, who almost broke his leg and was sweating profusely, everyone was very satisfied.

After seeing the roast chicken shop, He Xiaoqiao and Cailian each had a sugar gourd, walking and strolling. He Xiaoqiao's other empty hand still had strings of oiled paper bags hanging on his wrists, which contained mung bean cakes, hawthorn cakes and braised pork slices.

Mu Zinan was carrying a large bag in his hand, and even he was forced to hang a strangely shaped water bag around his neck, running behind the two women like a moving Christmas tree.

Although they are not buying expensive things, but looking at the crazy appearance of these two people, they are planning to sweep the whole street!

"Young lady, we've come out enough...... Ahem, it's been long enough, it's almost time to go back. "If he continues like this, he will have to die young.

He Xiaoqiao was choosing Chinese cabbage in front of a small vendor, and when he heard this, he looked at the sky and said in surprise, "Have we been out for a long time?" ”

Why doesn't she feel at all?

The corners of Mu Zinan's mouth twitched, and she kindly recalled the time for her, "Madam, we came out in the morning and didn't go back to the house at noon, and the wonton noodles we ate at Lao Wang's side at the street entrance are now almost dinner time." ”

"Ah, is it?" He Xiaoqiao thought about it seriously, as if this was the case, "It turns out that we have been out for so long. ”

"Yes, young lady," Cai Lian was also a little embarrassed, it was fifteen or sixteen years old, as soon as He Xiaoqiao took the lead, she went crazy, almost forgetting that she was just a little girl, "Why don't we go back first?" ”

"That's it," He Xiaoqiao looked at the three of them with big bags and small bags, and thought about it, "Okay, let's go back now." ”

Saying that, she squatted down again, picked a few fresh vegetables that looked good on the vegetable stall, paid the money happily, and glanced at the direction of the random garden with a smile, "Let's go, this girl is in a good mood today, go back to cook for you to eat, and let you taste my craftsmanship." ”

"The young lady knows how to cook?" Although it was rude to ask such a question, Mu Zinan really didn't think that a nervous and gentleman-like woman like He Xiaoqiao would cook.

"Nonsense." He Xiaoqiao glanced at him, and threw all the dishes he just bought to him with great vigour, "Don't underestimate the foodie's dedication to cooking, whether I can cook or not, you will know when the time comes." ”

"Hehe, the little one is looking forward to the young lady's craftsmanship."

Mu Zinan was noncommittal, thinking that he could finally be freed, so he immediately changed his relaxed expression and walked in front to lead the way.

The sun converges on the afterglow, the heat gradually dissipates, and in the summer evening, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increases.

The three of them were walking through the bustling street, and were about to turn back to the street where the random garden was located, when an extremely high-pitched woman screamed in front of them, "Slut, you stop for me!" ”

Hey? There's a drama to watch!

At any time, women are loyal supporters of gossip, He Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and he picked up Cailian and walked towards the silk village where many people had gathered in front.

Mu Zinan, who followed behind, looked down at the large pile of things he was holding in his hands, and then looked at the two women who had struggled to squeeze to the front of the crowd, speechless and looking at the sky.

He's going to die young, definitely!

He Xiaoqiao and Cailian relied on their petite stature, broke through the walls all the way, and finally arrived at the front smoothly after harvesting countless white eyes, which was also the door of the Xiangji Silk Village just now.

I saw two equally luxuriously dressed women confronting each other, staring at each other like hens in battle, and their men dragging the sides of the same brightly colored satin, neither of them would give in first.

"I saw this satin first, why did you rob me!" Among them, the eldest lady, who had combed a woman's hair in a bun, glared fiercely at the person opposite, and pulled the silk in her direction.

The woman opposite her naturally refused to admit defeat and desperately defended her rights and interests, and raised her chin disdainfully and said, "Joke! What if you see it first? Who told you to just look at it and not give money, let me buy it first, and now the wicked person sued first. It turns out that this is the head mother of a big family, and she really has no education at all. ”

The onlookers immediately laughed when they heard this, He Xiaoqiao took a closer look at the woman who spoke, and saw that she was about twenty years old, but she did not comb the woman's hair. The face was smeared with rouge, and it was indeed very beautiful at first glance, the slender hands that grasped the fabric, and the ten fingernails were painted with red and bright ko. Wearing a pink low-cut gauze dress, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are all coquettish.

With such a dress, coupled with some disdain, I think that this woman is either a barbaric lady who can't marry a big family, or a well-known Qinglou celebrity. However, the ladies of large families are generally very concerned about their own face, and they will not scold people on the street at all, so there is only a second possibility left.

"Slut!" Just when He Xiaoqiao's beautiful woman had all kinds of curiosity, the older woman on the other side had turned black, and she couldn't help but scold again, "The vixen who can't live without a man, hooks up everywhere with a little bit of posture, and you also have the face to talk to Mrs. Ben about upbringing?" ”

"Old woman, who are you talking about?" The glamorous woman also changed her complexion, and she choked back not to be outdone, "The man who can't keep himself in old age is embarrassed to blame me?" Your man just let me seduce what's wrong? He is willing to let me seduce, he is willing to give me this silk, can you control it? ”

"You!" The woman was so angry that she was fighting with beads, and as soon as she pulled up her sleeves, she was about to rush up and slap the beautiful woman, "Slut! ”

"Okay, let's say a few words." Just when everyone was waiting to see the show, a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes came out of the silk village, and stopped the woman's slap with a wave of his hand.

Probably didn't expect so many people to look outside the store, the middle-aged man looked up and obviously fell, subconsciously raised his hand, half-covered his face with his spacious sleeves, reached out to pull the older woman, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't make trouble!" It's just an ordinary satin, I'll buy it for you next time. Hurry home, isn't it shameful enough? ”

"Shame? Who is the shame? The woman was already angry, and when she saw the man's concealed appearance, she was even more angry, shook off the man's hand on the spot, and desperately pointed at the woman opposite and screamed, "On weekdays, you can go to her to fool around, I can swallow my anger and don't know what to do for this family, but now you don't even care about your own daughter for her!" Next month, my daughter and Lu, I finally found this satin to make clothes for her, but you have to let me give things to this slut! I'm going to see how long you want to maintain this little hoof today! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around. The sharp-eyed spectator immediately recognized the identities of the three people, lowered his voice and began to mutter to the people around him with great interest, "...... I'll tell you, that's Lord Shang Shulin of the Ministry of Rites. The one next to him is his wife, who can't be wrong. As for the other girl, it seems that she is the Miss Yang family who only moved to West Street the year before last. I heard before that she was the new love of Lord Lin outside, and I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

"Yo, so Mrs. Lin can't help it, so she took the opportunity to find fault?" Someone next to him immediately answered with a smile, and guessed without gossip, "You say, which side will Lord Lin help later?" ”

"I think it's ...... mysterious"

This kind of thing is obviously the favorite of the whole people, and it is also good to have some gossip before dinner to have an appetite. In view of this, everyone began to actively participate in the single-choice voting of whether Lord Lin would 'spoil his wife and kill his concubine' or 'spoil his concubine and destroy his wife', and the atmosphere soared to unprecedented enthusiasm for a while.

As for Lord Lin, one of the parties involved, listening to the onlookers blatantly discussing his housework, a wrinkled old face had already turned purple, but the two women who were related to him still knew nothing or deliberately fought more and more in front of everyone - this situation made him want to dig a hole in the ground on the spot, escape all the way back to the house and hide, and then pretend that he didn't know anything.

If he had known that this kind of thing would happen when he came out, he should not have relented and agreed to his son's suggestion for a while. God! It's just that I accompanied my own yellow-faced woman out to buy something, and I was able to bump into the outer room that had just been collected, and what was even more unexpected was that the two women also fell in love with the same cloth and fought for it.

It's really embarrassing to be thrown to grandma's house now, and it is estimated that from tomorrow he will become the laughing stock of the whole capital-

Thinking of how his colleagues would laugh at him tomorrow morning, Lord Lin couldn't control his big gasp. Let these two girls continue to make trouble, and he will definitely become the most 'rude' Ministry of Rites since the founding of Dayan.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Lord Lin felt more and more that he couldn't stay anymore.

wants to maintain the dignity of a man, but one is the original partner who used his mother's background to help him climb to today's status, and the other is his new love who hurts his heart, and he can't do it on both sides.

In the end, I had to signal the maid to step forward and separate the two women who were scuffling, and then came to Mrs. Lin's side, and begged in a low voice, "Madam, I beg you." Today's thing is that I'm not good, I'll let you beat and scold you when I go back. There are so many people outside, don't worry about Liniang, let's go back first, let's go back! ”

"Go back? How long are you going to face this old woman? Yang Liniang, who had been slapped several times, covered her face and stood up with the support of the maid, pressed her sideburns with her hand, looked at Lord Lin and said coldly, "Didn't you just say before that you wanted to find a good day to carry me in?" Why is it suddenly out of guts now? You're still afraid of this tigress, right? ”

"What? You're going to carry this slut to the door? Before Lord Lin could cover Yang Liniang's mouth, Mrs. Lin, whose hair was torn up, had already erupted again, "Okay, you Lin Yi, do you still have my existence in your eyes?" What did you say when you asked my mother's family to help you, do you dare to say it now? Shaking off Lord Lin's hand vigorously, Mrs. Lin held the crumbling Jin Bu on her head with her hand and said angrily, "If you don't make it clear today, no one will want to leave here!" ”

When Lord Lin heard this, his head exploded in an instant, this is really a wave of unsettled waves!

Just when Lord Lin was worried about not knowing how to coax the two women home, a man dressed as a soldier suddenly squeezed in from outside the crowd.

The soldier completely ignored all the curious eyes around him, and after approaching Lord Lin, he bent down and whispered a few words in his ear, and everyone saw that Lord Lin suddenly became like ashes, first glanced out of the crowd with a panicked face, and then seemed to be a different person. rushed forward with full combat power, raised his hand and gave Mrs. Lin and Yang Liniang a slap in the face, and shouted, "If you are noisy, you will only be noisy!" You're not ashamed, I still have to be embarrassed! Don't make any more trouble! ”

probably didn't expect that Lord Lin, who had always been submissive, would suddenly make a move, and the two women were stunned, and then cried together.

Yang Liniang took care of her youth and cried quite subtly, but Mrs. Lin didn't care, she cried like a pig, "Lin Yi, you kill a thousand knives, you dare to beat me, I will fight with you!" ”

"Come on, drag them both back to me!" Lord Lin didn't care about it this time, he directly ordered his subordinates to lift Mrs. Lin, and asked people to bring Yang Liniang with him, he didn't even have the courage to look at the crowd, so he left in a hurry with his head down, which was the end of this farce.

As soon as Lord Lin left, the guard had no reason to stay. After the crowd dispersed, he calmly walked to a blue sedan chair parked at the corner of the street, clasped his hands into fists and whispered a few words to the people in the sedan chair, then nodded, and instructed the sedan chair driver to lift the sedan chair and continue to move forward.

Because the distance was a bit far, He Xiaoqiao didn't know what they were talking about. However, when the sedan chair passed by, he deliberately paid attention to it, and found that the person sitting in the sedan chair seemed to be a very tall man, and it seemed that his status was not low, otherwise he would not have made Lord Lin so afraid.

Watching the low-key blue sedan chair gradually walk away, He Xiaoqiao's eyes began to burn with a raging flame of gossip.

The person who can make Lord Lin scared with just one sentence and then make up his mind to fight back, in the end, ...... Who could it be?
