Chapter 13: Wealth is hard to last
"You dare to call Miss Ben a demon girl?" The woman in red was furious, and threw a whip at Qiao Xuan and Xi He again.
Xi He's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously wanted to block Qiao Xuan behind him, but Qiao Xuan reacted faster than her,
Raising his hand, he grabbed the whip and pulled it hard, and the woman on the horse was pulled down and smashed at the feet of the two of them, making a scream.
"Ah~"
"Miss, are you alright?" A green-clothed maid squeezed out of nowhere, and anxiously squatted down to help the woman in red up.
"Smack!" With a sound, the green-clothed maid was slapped in the face, "My father arranged for you to protect me, and that's how you protect me?" β
The woman in red got up from the ground and scolded angrily: "And you! Xi He, Miss Ben is a great blessing for you to take a fancy to, don't be embarrassed. β
"You ugly village girl, my father is the county magistrate of Gupo County, I want him to cut off your head."
There were many people gathered around the street, and they looked unsurprised by the scene in front of them. οΌ
Everyone in the county knows that the daughter of the county magistrate is arrogant, loves beautiful men, and oppresses the people, but because of having a father who is an official, no one dares to provoke him.
Everyone is very sympathetic to Qiao Xuan and Xi He.
Qiao Xuan sneered, it turned out to be a girl from the county order family, no wonder!
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing that she had revealed her identity, Qiao Xuan was not only not half afraid, but also showed a meaningful sneer and asked angrily.
"What do you care I laugh at!" Qiao Xuan rolled his eyes, "We still have something to do, let's go first!" β
She pulled Xi He and was about to leave, but she was surrounded by four or five people.
"Don't go! It's a fool's dream to want to get out of the county without my permission," the woman in red climbed on the horse triumphantly.
"Why should Miss be embarrassed, there is a marriage contract below, and I can't afford to climb Miss" Xi He's dark eyes were heavy and his tone was cold.
"Xi He, Miss Ben tells you that there is nothing in the world that Miss Ben wants but can't get" The woman in red laughed arrogantly, "Don't take yourself too seriously, if you are interested, follow me obediently." β
Qiao Xuan looked at the black-clothed man who was approaching not far away and showed a ruffian smile, and said inexplicably: "I really didn't expect it!" Just now, the county lord also set up a banquet at the Mingyue Restaurant to invite us to dinner, and in a blink of an eye, we met the daughter of the county lord's family beating people on the street......"
As Qiao Xuan expected, Zhou Qin, who had not planned to meddle in the banquet at Mingyue Restaurant when he heard someone mention it, turned his head and looked over.
With just one glance, he recognized Qiao Xuan, because she was the only one among all the village chiefs who came today, and although she was sitting in the back, it was enough to make people unforgettable.
"What happened?" He walked into the crowd with his hands behind his back and glanced at the woman in red on the horse with a calm face.
The woman in red seemed to be a little afraid of him, and her arrogance was subdued a lot, but the wicked person complained first: "These two Diao people beat me. β
"Oh~ is that so?" Zhou Qin naturally knew what kind of virtue the daughter of the county commander's family was, and looked at Qiao Xuan in an elongated tone.
"Robbing the people on the street and beating the people with a whip, the daughter of the county magistrate's family is really well-educated" Qiao Xuan looked at Zhou Qin who was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was mocking.
"Xi He is my fiancΓ©, no matter how difficult it is for some girls to get married, they can't ignore etiquette and shame, right?"
A fleeting smile flashed in Xi He's originally cold eyes, and a strange emotion rose in his heart when he looked at Qiao Xuan who was blocking him.
"Presumptuous! How dare you say that, Miss Ben" The whip in the hand of the woman in red was eager to try, her whole face was distorted and terrifying, and she looked extremely angry.
Zhou Qin glanced at the person who immediately shouted with warning, "Let them go!" β
"Zhou Qin?" The woman in red instantly had an expression of disbelief on her face, this was the first time that Zhou Qin had been so faceless to herself.
Zhou Qin is a knife in her father's hand, which is very valued by her father, and he basically maintains a superficial kindness to her on weekdays, but this time he ......
The few people who were originally surrounding Qiao Xuan and Xi He retreated knowingly after receiving Zhou Qin's eyes.
Qiao Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he pulled Xi He away, without even giving Zhou Qin a superfluous look.
She knew that Zhou Qin was not helping her, but was worried that the road repair would be delayed, and a little mess at this juncture might jeopardize their adult position.
After walking a little farther, Qiao Xuan glanced up and down at Xi He, and asked curiously: "Didn't you say that you found a job in the town, how could you appear in the county?" β
"I was teaching in a rich family in the town, and today the son of that family was going to the county to participate in the poetry meeting, and he asked me to accompany him, but I met the unruly woman on the street, and the son knew the identity of the woman, so I was discarded."
Xi He said calmly, with no embarrassment on his face.
Qiao Xuan smiled and quipped, "Then you lost your job?" β
Xi He nodded, if he offended the daughter of the county order today, the family must not want to hire him anymore.
"Why are you in the county today?" After a pause, Xi He asked.
After what happened just now, the relationship between the two people has become a step further than before, and the tone of their voices has become obviously closer.
Qiao Xuan glanced at the passers-by who walked by from time to time, and shook his head, "Let's talk about this on the way back." β
The two of them ordered a small noodle on the side of the street, and after eating, they brought a few meat buns to Xi Yan at home, and then found an ox cart to send them back.
As the sun set, Xi Yan was dying of anxiety at home alone, she went in and out, she couldn't sit still, and she didn't know what Qiao Xuan was doing, so she left in a hurry, and she didn't come back after an afternoon.
A person or two walked by outside the courtyard from time to time, and she noticed that the people in the village were also waiting for Qiao Xuan to come back just like herself.
And Qiao Xuan and Xi He on the road were really a little unlucky, the ox cart was halfway down the road and met a villager from an unknown village who broke his leg and was carried by his family to the town.
The two gave up the ox cart to others, and walked home on two legs, tired and wheezing.
Qiao Xuan told Xi He about going to the county today, Xi He's brain turned quickly, and he quickly figured out the twists and turns.
"Liang County has been coming to Gupo County for five years, and he is addicted to beauty, money, and fish and meat, and the people have long been very dissatisfied" Xi He said helplessly, how can this kind of dog official be called a parent official?
Qiao Xuan smiled unwillingly when he saw the expression in his eyes, "Things must be reversed, if the woman on the street today is really his daughter, then his good days should come to an end." β
Xi He was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What do you say?" β
"The nostrils are facing the sky, the earth is thin, the cheekbones are sunken, and the heavens are gray and ......"
Qiao Xuan said and suddenly found that Xi He's expression was a little complicated, and then he changed his expression empathetically: "To put it simply, her face is not good, and her family is going to be unlucky, and she will be affected."
