Tongzhou border.

Zhong Yongcheng.

As we all know, there are four major families in Tongzhou: Shi, Wang, Lu and Jin, among which the Shi family is ranked first among the four families because of its relationship with the vassal king Zhou Qi.

Just last month, the old lady of the Shi family suddenly suffered a stroke and died, and the Shi family turned the world upside down in order to compete for property.

After the Shi family became a mess, the Wang family, which had always been behind the Shi family, became the most powerful family in Tongzhou in one fell swoop.

The patriarch of the Wang family also has a grandson of the eldest house, named "embroidered", which means "splendid future".

He was very gifted, he could speak within a few days of birth, learn to walk in less than two months, be able to recite all kinds of poems fluently at the age of two, write his own endowment at the age of five, and write quite wonderful articles at the age of seven.

It is a blessing for the family to have this prodigy!

Wang Xiucheng is nine years old this year, and he has not yet reached the age where he can take the Xiucai exam, but the Wang family has a strong background and a lot of power.

The juvenile embroidery results are full of enthusiasm, the examiner's questions are all answered, and a splendid article is even more amazing, easily passing the three rounds of tests and successfully entering the school.

In this way, Wang Xiucheng became Zhong Yongcheng's youngest official talent.

On the streets of the city, a strange scene appeared.

There were two people sitting on a colorful cart, a thin boy in a blue brocade robe, and a woman in a green jacket with smooth skin and an unusually strong figure.

Two flags were planted on the back of the vehicle, one with six golden characters embroidered on it, "Zhong Yong's First Prodigy", and the other side with the words "Reincarnation of a Confucian Sage".

And it was not a horse with strong feet that pulled the cart.

It's eight muscular bare-chested men!

Each man has a word written in ink on his back, and the eight words are connected together - "Learn to be rich and have five cars, and only eight buckets high".

Eight burly men crawled through the streets in the bitterly cold winter wind, and they had no clothes on their bodies except for the hemp ropes they were tied, and they were all shivering from the cold.

"Climb faster!"

The green-robed child sitting in the car shouted, "It's better to swallow slowly, it's better for me to go faster, what's the use of raising you?" ”

The boy took a long whip from the hand of the green-jacketed woman beside him, swung it vigorously, and whipped it on everyone's body.

The eight men let out screams like pigs, and the speed of their progress was barely fast.

Led by eight people, the vehicle came to a rather lively place.

The woman in the green jacket had a very rough voice, and shouted at the crowd: "My son-in-law is here, don't you hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

The crowd retreated.

The vehicle passed slowly.

In front of him is an old man with gray hair, holding a flute in his left hand, a long rope in his right hand, and an ape with black hair and white face tied to the other end of the rope.

"Hey, old man over there, I heard you monkey can dance?"

The woman in the green jacket shouted, "Hurry up and put on a show, our son-in-law wants to see it!" ”

The old man nodded hurriedly, said "yes" respectfully, picked up the flute and blew it.

The white-faced ape jumped to the melodious melody.

The posture is vivid, like a skilled dancer showing off his skills here.

After the song was blown, the ape also stopped.

"Good!"

The boy in the green robe applauded again and again, "Good dance!" This little monkey is really capable! ”

The old man was very happy when he heard the appreciation, and grinned and said: "It's not to blow with the son, this monkey I raised, he can dance 3,000 small songs and 800 big songs, and his ability is great!" ”

The boy grinned, "That's amazing, then you can give me this monkey." ”

The old man who had been begging for a living on the street all the year round was stunned, and barely squeezed out an embarrassing smile, "Childe, you ...... You're kidding. ”

The rich boy in a cyan brocade robe frowned, "What are you kidding?" I never joke, I see that your little monkey is not small, so I want it, take it back and raise it, and watch it dance and dance when I have nothing to do, how did it become a joke when I come to you? ”

The gray-haired old man leaned over and said in a wailing voice: "Childe, this monkey is the guy I eat, I really can't give it......"

The boy in the green robe snorted, "What kind of guy eats?" It's just a monkey, I'll pay for it. ”

Saying that, the young man took out his coat pocket and found that he didn't have any money on him, so he turned to the green-jacketed woman beside him and asked, "Sister Yu Lei, do you have any money with you when you go out?" ”

The woman named "Yu Lei" shook her head casually, "I left in a hurry, I didn't bring it." ”

The boy said to the bent old man, "I don't have any money on me for the time being, so give me this little monkey first, and then go home with me to get the money." ”

"This ......"

The old man was a little hesitant, hesitating whether to go back with him.

Suddenly, a sturdy woman wearing a green cotton jacket flew off the car.

The body is as light as a swallow volley.

The old man looked frightened and looked up at the woman in the green jacket who was more than a head taller than him.

The burly woman looked down at the poorly dressed old man, with a look of contempt in her eyes, "Bad old man, it's rare for our son-in-law to have a Yaxing, let you sweep it all!" How much is a broken monkey worth? ”

The woman took off a hairpin from the top of her head and handed it over, "Well, this silver hairpin is also worth a lot of silver, and it is enough to buy you a monkey!" ”

"No ......"

The old man refused to reach out to take the silver hairpin, clutching the rope in his hand, and did not want to let go at all.

The woman in the green jacket was obviously really angry, her two eyebrows were erected, and her face was like an angry King Kong, which made people feel frightened.

"You old donkey, you don't eat oil and rice!"

The woman in the green jacket shouted angrily, "You have to give it today, and you have to give it if you don't give it!" ”

She grabbed the rope that tied the little monkey, took a step back, and then pulled the old man out with a hard pull.

The gray-haired old man fell hard, his face hit the ground, two teeth fell out, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth.

His hands were still holding the rope.

The woman in the green jacket sneered, stepped forward, and stabbed the silver hairpin in her hand into the old man's palm.

"Ahh

The old man let out a bitter wail.

Second time.

The old man's left and right hands were pierced with a bloody hole, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and let go of his grip on the rope.

The woman from Kui'an Ruoxiaoshan kicked out, kicked the old man with his face covered with blood on his hands, and bent down to pick up the rope that led the monkey, "If you obediently accepted the hairpin just now, wouldn't there be so much to do?" After all, it's still you old calf asking for your own hardship! It's time to live! ”
