Chapter 37: The Enemy Meets
Jiang Qi, who had already returned to his heart like an arrow, ran all the way, not paying attention at all, which had caused passers-by to avoid him. Soon riding through the county guard's mansion, Jiang Qi saw the high-platform building that he and his sister often looked at in the small courtyard.
The tall main body, the majestic mountain top, and the quaint dougong show the identity of the owner and the history of the family all the time.
Hitting the horse and coming to the door, Jiang Qi flew and dismounted in front of two exquisitely carved stone lions. looked at the word 'Wangfu' on the top of the vermilion gate, Jiang Qi's heartbeat seemed to speed up at this moment, and he walked over without thinking about it.
But unfortunately, Jiang Qi was stopped by the porter as soon as he walked up the steps. I saw the high-spirited porter pointing to the vermilion gate and saying: "Alas, alas, what is the chief of the trail doing, I don't know how to read!" β
"Of course, the master knows how to read. Feed the horse to the master, if the master is happy, there will be a reward! Jiang Qi, who came home, paid attention to the words of the concierge, and directly handed the reins to him and was about to enter the house.
"Alas, I said little Taoist, this is the palace, not your Taoist temple!" In the face of Jiang Qi's actions, when he just took a step out, he was stopped by another porter and refuted.
Seeing this repeated obstruction, Jiang Qi, who was like an arrow, immediately prepared to get angry, but before he could speak, he heard someone behind him shouting loudly: "The eldest young master is back homeγγγγ
As soon as he heard this voice, Jiang Qi thought that it was a sensible subordinate who knew that he was back. was about to turn around and praise him, but just as he was about to turn around, he was pushed aside by the porter next to him, and he was not prepared for a while, and he was pushed and stumbled and almost fell.
In frustration, Jiang Qi stood and looked at the intersection, only to see a chubby young man, poking his head out of a luxurious carriage at the moment.
Then the boy clumsily stepped on the back of a man lying under the carriage and walked down. But despite the support of someone, his clumsy body slipped and almost fell down the moment he landed.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qi, who was looking at who was coming, couldn't help but laugh out loud. At the same time, he also recognized the other party's fat identity, and thought: 'Isn't this the little fat man who taught him in the hospital!' After so many years, the kid is still that virtuous. β
Wang Bin, who came out of the foreign appearance, kicked the man down with one kick and 'smacked' before he relieved his hatred.
After beating the next person, Wang Bin immediately looked viciously at the place where the laughter came from. When I saw it clearly, I found that this person who didn't know the height of the sky was actually a dirty boy leading a white horse.
Seeing this situation, Wang Bin, who has always been arrogant, didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and immediately ordered the subordinates who surrounded him: "Give the kid to Young Master Ben a good palm, and tell him to laugh at Young Master Ben." β
As soon as they were told, the guards, who had always been arrogant and domineering, were willing to miss this moment of loyalty. immediately received the order and surrounded him, ready to fight Jiang Qi, but the person who made the attack soon regretted it.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Wang Wen is in a very good mood these days, for no other reason, with his father's aging and illness, he has now begun to take over the affairs of the family. In this way, it also means that the next head of the family is not far from him.
It is really not easy to compete for the position of the head of the family, especially the family accident five years ago, which almost made him miss the position of the head of the family. But fortunately, although his two-year-old father was not very satisfied with him, he had to entrust the affairs of the clan to him due to physical reasons. Therefore, in this family battle, there is still no danger in the end.
The position is gradually stable, and now Wang Wen's life can be described by the words 'chic and happy', and there are several beautiful concubines serving him every day, and life is simply more enjoyable than that of the gods.
Recently, I heard that the news that the imperial court could sell the official mantle, which made him think about it again, and he was planning to buy a county guard or a long history to be an official addiction. Otherwise, it would have wasted Guo Changshi's kindness in raising filial piety for him back then.
"Master, you promised the concubine, and when the shrew is gone, let the concubine be the main room, it's been so many yearsγγγ master", Lan Xiang put a grape in Wang Wen's mouth in the bedroom, and once again coquettishly mentioned the things she had been yearning for.
"Well, baby, you don't know. How much impact did that incident have on the family back then, and after I take over the family's affairs in a few days, I will officially let you be my Mrs. Wang Wen! Wang Wen tugged at Xiao Yao's nose and laughed.
"Then the master can't go back! Come to the concubine to pay tribute to the lord with a glassγγγ "Although this kind of commitment is not the first time, Lan Xiang still happily poured two glasses of wine, handed Wang Wen a glass, and drank it all.
It's just that some people are happy and some are sad, as soon as the dialogue between Wang Wen and Lanxiang came out, the concubines who were waiting next to them complained of suffering.
Since that incident happened five years ago, everyone has been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the main room that has been vacant. But the Zhao, Hu, and Wei families present at the scene, as well as the Zhang family and Yang family of Houna, all knew that they would still lose to this charming slut who was born in a green building in the end. If that day comes, they all know that their good days are over.
However, although they have different thoughts, the wives and concubines surrounding them are still very harmonious on the surface, such beauties, wine, Yingge, and Yanyu are enough to make Wang Wen drunk and dream.
Unfortunately, the good times are always short-lived, and everything is broken when a maid who doesn't have long eyes runs in.
I saw the maid hurriedly shouting: "Master, master, it's not good!" β
"What a lie in a panic, your master is fine!" Wang Wen, who was disturbed by the good things, scolded angrily.
"Don't be angry, sir, being angry is not good for your health." Seeing that the old man was angry, Lan Xiang, who was in a good mood, said coquettishly, tidied up her skirt after speaking, and said to the maid majestically: "What's the matter?" β
"Back to the master, back to Erniang, the young master was beaten." Although she saw that the old man's face was not good, the maid did not dare to hide such a big thing and said in a panic.
"Hmph, is that young master in trouble again?" Hearing the report, without waiting for Wang Wen to ask, Lan Xiang asked first. As he spoke, he glanced at the concubines next to him, and finally stared at Zhao in a teaching tone and said, "I don't know how you teach these mothers, don't you think the master is upset every day?" β
Of course, while teaching the Zhao family a lesson, Lan Xiang will not worry about her son being beaten at all, no one in the house knows that her son's guards are among the best, and only her son has bullied others over the years.
Although the concubines present were not satisfied with Lan Xiang's tone of teaching, everyone knew that she was not untargeted.
At present, the family has four sons and three daughters. Except for Jiang Qi, only the Zhao family and the Yang family of Xinna were born sons. If you want to cause trouble at this moment, of course everyone will not think that it is Yang's son who can just walk, and naturally only Zhao's eight-year-old son is the one.
Although Zhao has always been dissatisfied with Lan Xiang, at this moment she can only smile wryly and nod to indicate that she is taught.
While complaining in his heart, Zhao also scolded Lanxiang: "Who doesn't know that your dumb son can cause trouble the most, if it weren't for a few guards, he would have been beaten to death a long time ago."
"It's the son of a sin who is causing trouble again, so I don't know how to save my worries." Wang Wen also guessed that it should be the second child in the family who was in trouble again, and looked at Zhao with some displeasure and said.
But just when Wang Wen was about to scold the Zhao family, the maid who came to report secretly glanced at Lan Xiang, she didn't dare to let the old man be wrong, and said timidly: "The master is actually Bin Shao, the young master was beaten."
"What Bin'er, who, who, so boldly beat me Bin'er." Hearing that the 'eldest son' was beaten, Wang Wen was surprised and didn't have time to scold Zhao, so he jumped up and roared angrily at the same time.
is the so-called love house and wu, since lanxiang is so favored, her son is naturally more concerned than other sons, and now that his heart is hurt, wang wenneng is not angry.
also heard that it was his own son, and Lan Xiang, who was still proud just now, turned her face faster than turning a book. immediately put on a pitiful look, knelt on the ground and cried: "Master, you have to make the decision for Bin'er!" It's the bully who bullied my family, γγγγ."
"Xiang'er, hurry up, what are you doing." Seeing his concubine crying, Wang Wen lovingly helped Lan Xiang up, and then asked the maid, "Who bullied the young master?" β
"Master Hui, it's a little Taoist priest, just outside the gate of the mansion" For Wang Wen's question, the maid didn't dare to slack off, and quickly pointed to the direction of the gate and said.
"What, it's too much to deceive people, it's not good to teach a good lesson today to the guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and there will be a place for my Wang family in Jizhou in the future. Coming to gather at home to care for the home, Wang wants to see why he is so bold and bullied to the door of my Wang's house. After hearing that the shouting person was still outside the door, Wang Wen sneered and ordered angrily.
Soon, with Wang Wen's order, a group of guards armed to the teeth were assembled, and their unkind faces at the moment showed that they had felt the anger of their master.
It's just that when Wang Wen came to the gate of the mansion with a group of nurses and a few gloating wives and concubines, the scene in front of him completely shocked him.
Walking out of the mansion quickly, Wang Wen, who was unhappy all the way, saw the first thing he saw was the crowd of people in front of the mansion. In front of this sea of people, a handsome young man about seven feet tall in a Taoist robe and a horse with several burdens on his body were particularly eye-catching.
There is no need to ask, Wang Wen also knows that the young man is the culprit.
It's just that in Wang Wen's eyes, the young man doesn't have the consciousness to get into trouble by himself at the moment. At this moment, the young Taoist was sitting on a mountain of people made of a few unconscious guards, leisurely eating bits and pieces. Beneath him were scattered bits and pieces of skin and the weapons and clubs of the guards, and there was an unusually chaotic mess.
What made Wang Wen even more anxious was that not only was the young man rampant at the moment, as if he was laughing at the cowardice of his Wang family, but the horse that was leisurely kicking its hooves at the moment was also crying from time to time.
However, although the seven orifices in front of him were already angry with the perpetrator, when Wang Wen saw his pampered son Wang Bin, hanging from the beam at the door with his hands tied behind his back, he had no mood to look at the strange boy anymore.
At this moment, Wang Bin has a lot of guilt, and his gorgeous clothes have long been in tatters. Where he was hanging, there were currently two porters with blue noses and swollen faces beating him with horsewhips and bitter faces. With the beating, Wang Bin, who was already dying, let out a cry like killing a pig.
"Bin'er γγγγγ" Seeing her son being abused like this, Lan Xiang rushed over with a sad cry, usually even she was reluctant to beat her son, how could she see her son being abused.
But just when Lan Xiang was screaming and approaching Wang Bin, before she could react, she felt a strong attack in her head. It was dark in front of him, and he flew out upside down with a coquettish cry, and fell on all fours with a "pop".
Lan Xiang fell, and Wang Wen, who followed closely, seemed to be pinched, and hurriedly ran over to help his concubine. It took a helping hand to see that the concubine had been hit by a chicken skeleton, and now the chicken bones were like a hood on the concubine's head.
When Wang Wen took down the chicken skeleton, he looked at the concubine, the face that was originally flowery was already dirty with greasy chicken bones in a blink of an eye, and the messy bun was not much different from the old mother in the vegetable market.
Seeing that the person who came was humiliated in such a face, Wang Wen was so angry that he almost turned his back on it.
"Master, is the concubine dead?" As Lan Xiang slowly opened her eyes, when she saw that it was her husband in front of her, she couldn't help crying with a 'wow' cry from her heart.
In the midst of crying, she suddenly fell into Wang Wen's arms, hoping to be sheltered. Naturally, the stains on her face also made Wang Wen's white robe filthy, and for a while, the two really had the feeling of a husband and wife in distress.
Of course, some people are sad and some people are happy, and when Lanxiang was in pain, Wang Wen's other concubines are now smiling in their hearts.
"Sister, do you see if that little Taoist priest is a little kind." Zhao asked with his arm as he touched Hu Shi, who was still laughing next to him.
"My sister doesn't say that I don't think I think so, but my little sister thinks it too." When asked about Hu Shi, he couldn't hold back a smile, carefully looked at Jiang Qi, who was wiping his hands with the robe of the person sitting under him, in the distance, and thought about it, and after a while, he exclaimed: "Ah, I remember, sister, you don't look like the eldest sister's son."
Being reminded by this, Webster on the side also reacted and took over and said, "It's a little similar, but didn't he die five years ago?" We all saw it with our own eyes."
Zhao, who also recognized Jiang Qi, also said with doubts: "Yes! Isn't that weird? But even if that kid is alive, he's only ten years old, and this boy should look more than that! It's just that this kid looks really similar to the old man! β
"Sister, who are you talking about!" Listening to the narration, the puzzled Yang carefully asked the few sisters who were discussing next to him, and at the same time, another Zhang who didn't know the inside story also quickly pricked up his ears to listen.
Wei Shi, who has always talked a lot, heard the questions of the two little sisters, and immediately explained to them with a profound look: "You two haven't seen the eldest sister at the night of entering the door, the eldest sister is the original partner of the master, from the Luoyang Jiang family, gave birth to a pair of children to the master, but I heard that the child was born with a vision from the sky, and the master did not like γγγit."
Saying that, Wei pointed to Lan Xiang, who was still crying, and continued: "Later, I heard that it was because of her, the eldest sister and a pair of children lived in seclusion in a small courtyard in the corner of the house, five years ago, I don't know how, in the backyard, the eldest sister's son and the woman's family fought, don't look at the eldest sister's son was only five years old at the time, but he was already strong in martial arts, you didn't see it at the time, although the eldest sister took a group of people, they were all injured and killed several peopleγγγγγγ"
