Chapter Eighty-Three: Cutting Off Sons and Grandchildren's Feet
The Spring Festival poetry party of Egret Academy is almost coming to an end, although there are still many students who stay in the academy to have further exchanges with the gentlemen, but Shao Xi and Bai Jinqing can't bear the loneliness for a long time, so they ask a few protΓ©gΓ©s in the academy to sneak out together.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys, restaurants and art squares are lively times, isn't it boring to lock yourself in the courtyard at this moment?
The three people who slipped out of the academy with Shao Xi and the others were Bai Jinqing's best friends in the academy, and they were also the best friends. These three people are Hu Yushan, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu, all of whom are candidates who want to participate in the spring festival next year like Bai Jinqing.
A few people walked down the street, looking around and looking at the bustle, and chatting without saying a word. Zheng Yuanxiu squeezed to Shao Xi's side and asked, "Brother Shao Mingchun is also going to participate in the Spring Festival Examination like me?" If we are also participating in the Spring Festival, we just happen to be companions. β
Shao Xi grinned and said, "I can't compare with all my brothers, and I'm not a lifter, how can I participate in the Spring Festival?" β
Han Shaoguang asked in surprise: "Brother Shao's talent is not a lifter?" It's unbelievable, or is Brother Shao unintentionally famous? β
Hu Yushan interjected at this time: "I think Brother Shao is a free and casual person, although he is brilliant in writing, he does not want to be restrained by others, and he should have no intention of fame like Jinqing." β
Shao Xi said with a smile: "I really don't want to be restrained, but if I am given a free and easy official, I will not refuse." β
Hu Yushan shook his head and said: "Brother Shao said that he laughed, this official should ask for the people's life, how can he be at ease?" Wouldn't that go against our mission of reading people to care about the world and help the common people? β
At this time, Zheng Yuanxiu teased Hu Yushan: "Brother Yushan's current speech and deeds are more and more similar to those old scholars in the courtyard, and opening and closing his mouth is the world!" O people! β
Bai Jinqing said indifferently: "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to worry about the people in this world, I just want to compose poems, play chess, drink wine, and play the piano, and I don't want to work hard every day." β
"Speaking of drinking, it's not interesting for us to hang out like this, why don't we find a good place to have a few drinks?"
Han Shaoguang's proposal was immediately approved by several people. So a few people found a restaurant called Junxiao Lou and walked in, and directly chose a private seat on the second floor.
After the wine and food were served, Hu Yushan got up with a wine glass and said to several people present: "Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, when this New Year is approaching, I can gather with a few friends here, and I will borrow this cup of chrysanthemum autumn to wish a few friends the title of the gold list in the spring of the coming year, and also wish Brother Shao good health and happiness, and everything goes well." β
Several people also stood up to raise their glasses and blessed each other.
On the occasion of this spring, the restaurant is also full of joy and laughter.
When the wine was slightly drunk, Han Shaoguang got up and raised his glass and proposed: "Today's interest is so high, why don't we wait for the wine in this cup as the theme, each of us will compose a poem, make up a poem, and finally Brother Shao will inscribe it." β
Several people present expressed their agreement, so Han Shaoguang made the first sentence.
Han Shaoguang looked down at the chrysanthemum in the cup, and said:
"Only drink chrysanthemums and don't ask about autumn."
Hu Yushan then chanted in the first sentence:
"Clear the pulp into the throat to relieve a thousand worries."
Zheng Yuanxiu took the third sentence with a smile,
"A little drunk knows its beauty."
Bai Jinqing looked at a few people on the table, and said with a smile:
"How can you rest if you are not drunk?"
Shao Xi also looked at a few people at the table, and said, "Look at the appearance of a few of you drunkards!" The poem is entitled "True Loss". β
A few people were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed.
"Brother Shao is really a funny person, and even this title is rhyming."
Just as a few people were enjoying a drink, they suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.
Out of curiosity, several people walked out of the private room together, stood on the railing upstairs and looked downstairs, but they didn't want what was happening downstairs, and Lao Wu was also involved.
I saw Lao Wu standing in the lobby, confronting a group of people.
The person headed by the other party is not very old, his appearance is mediocre, he is dressed in brocade clothes, and he looks like he is high and invincible. Behind this man stood five or six housekeepers, one of whom looked like a guard, tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he didn't look easy to mess with.
And there is also a person standing behind Lao Wu, fourteen or fifteen years old, who looks thin and small, wearing a green coat, but his face is very delicate, with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, if it weren't for the men's dress, I really thought it was a woman.
The child looked flustered at this time, shrunk behind Lao Wu as if he was frightened, and lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
Zheng Yuanxiu craned his neck and looked at it twice, and muttered, "Huh! Isn't that Yang Yuanfei, the son of Yang Mucheng, the servant of the Criminal Department? On this Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't spend the New Year with his father at home, how could he come to this Junxiao Building? It seems that he still has an argument with Hu's seniors. β
Shao Xi is an extremely protective person, don't look at the mutual disagreement with Lao Wu on weekdays, but if someone really has a dispute with Lao Wu, he doesn't ask whether it is right or wrong, he must protect his family.
But at this time, I didn't know what was going on, so Shao Xi didn't rush downstairs, but stood upstairs and watched the changes.
I saw that Yang Yuanfei pointed at Lao Wu with the folding fan in his hand and shouted: "Where did the old man come from called Huazi?" actually took care of that little Hanako, he just stole my purse, thinking that you were behind the instigation, so he simply took it with you and sent it to the yamen for questioning. β
Lao Wu spat on the ground, and said unceremoniously: "You are a person called Huazi, and your whole family is called Huazi!" Do you have any evidence that he stole your purse? If you don't have evidence, don't spew blood, and don't think that you can frame a good person by dressing like a human. β
"If you're not an old Hanako, why do you stand up for him? What is your relationship with him? β
"What do I have to do with him, I don't need you to ask, in short, old man, I just can't see you bullying honest people, what is hindering you from begging for some money along the street for his livelihood? You have lost your purse, but now you are relying on this child's head, and you are chasing all the way from the street to this restaurant, is it too much of a deception? β
"If you don't know him, how can you prove that he didn't steal my purse?"
Lao Wu's eyes widened, and he said: "Old man, I have been sitting in front of the restaurant drinking, this child is begging along the street not far away, a group of you walked past him when he came, I saw it really, he has not been close to you, and now your own purse is lost, but it has to be relied on on his head." β
Yang Yuanfei sneered and said, "You said you saw it?" I said you were all in this together! If you want to prove that he didn't steal the purse, then let me search my body, and if I can't find it, if I find out, he will take you with him to the yamen for questioning. β
"Fart! Who do you think you are? Search for others if you want to? is so arrogant and domineering at a young age, but your father and mother didn't teach you well and let you out to bully the good? β
"Old thing, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."
After speaking, Yang Yuanfei waved his hand, and the strong man behind him and all the family members hugged him.
With Lao Wu's style, it was simply wishful thinking for this group of people to catch him, but at this time, Lao Wu wanted to protect the young man behind him, and he couldn't show his body technique, so he could only keep in front. Running away and tracking him was good, but he was a rookie in front of the enemy, and he was pressed on the table by the strong man in three times and two times, and a group of housekeepers pounced on the young man and pressed him on the chair and couldn't move.
The young man saw that Lao Wu had been restrained, and he was also caught by the family members, Yang Yunfei was rolling up his sleeves to search himself, his face showed a look of horror and anxiety, and he struggled hard.
"You let me go, I didn't steal your money, why do you frame me? Don't touch me, let me go! β
As soon as the young man spoke, everyone in the restaurant was amazed, it turned out that the young man was actually a girl, just dressed as a man.
Seeing this, the second child and the shopkeeper of the restaurant also stepped forward to dissuade them, after all, in the current situation, the diners in the restaurant are not eating, and they are all watching the show, which will naturally affect the business.
When Yang Yuanfei heard this, it turned out that the young man they caught was actually a woman, and he was even more interested, rubbing his hands and walking in front of the girl, with an obscene smile on his face.
"Ouch! It turned out to be a little lady, so I have to search harder! Search your whole body carefully! Let's see if you have stolen my purse, if I find out, it is okay not to send you to the yamen, follow me back to the mansion to serve this young master well, and you will atone for your sins. β
As he spoke, Yang Yuanfei stretched out his two hands and grabbed the girl's chest. Everyone present can see, what kind of body search? This is to take advantage of the opportunity! But no one dared to stand up and speak, after all, this Yang Yuanfei is a well-known gentleman in Daliang City, how many people don't know who his father is?
Just when Yang Yuanfei's hands were about to grab the woman's chest, the girl was also anxious, and she raised her leg in a panic.
Yang Yuanfei's facial features were instantly squeezed together, his hands were covered between his legs, and his feet kept jumping in place as if they were loaded with springs, as long as there was a man present, he knew where he was moved, and some people couldn't help laughing.
This kick is both accurate and powerful, Yang Yuanfei's facial features are displaced at this time, not to mention body search, he doesn't even have the strength to speak at this time.
Seeing this scene, Lao Wu, who was pressed on the table by a strong man, laughed, and kept praising in his mouth: "Good! The kick was so good, accurate and ruthless! What a broken son and grandchild! β
When the people in the restaurant heard Lao Wu's applause, they couldn't help but laugh along, and the whole scene turned from the previous saber-rattling to a farce that made people laugh.
Although Yang Yuanfei was in pain to death at this time, when he heard Lao Wu's ridicule and the laughter of the people around him, he was already annoyed and angry, and gritted his teeth and said: "Little girl, dare to let Young Master Ben make a fool of himself in public?" I'm going to strip you naked in front of you in front of you today, and I'll see who else can help you. β
After speaking, he pounced on the girl in front of him again......
