Chapter 203: Mi Zhen
The two girls talked for a while before Dong Wan'er got up and left.
In Wang Gang's letter, he had a special entrustment for her and Zhang Yue'er, so he had to discuss it with Zhang Yue'er. At the same time, she also has a sense of guilt towards Zhang Yueer. After all, it was Zhang Yue'er who first engaged Wang Gang to get married, and it was she and Cai Yan who came after her until now. Zhang Yue'er is still a concubine.
The carriage stopped at the door of Zhang's cloth shop, and Dong Wan'er lifted the curtain and looked inside.
I saw a beautiful woman, wearing a light green fine linen dress, elegant posture and graceful posture. There was also a slightly smaller woman in red standing next to her, the woman in red was also extremely beautiful, with that pretty face, a smile and a smile, even Dong Wan'er, who was a woman, couldn't help but be moved when she saw it.
Dong Wan'er got out of the carriage and walked into the store, Zhang Yue'er and Red Sleeves glanced up, and were stunned on the spot. Red Sleeves was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Zhang Yue'er.
"You... What are you here for? Red Sleeves poked out a head, looked at Dong Wan'er and said.
"Red sleeves, don't be rude" Zhang Yue'er hurriedly stopped red sleeves from continuing to speak, before turning to Dong Wan'er and saluting.
"The little sister doesn't know the etiquette, and I ask the county lord to forgive me. I don't know why the county lord came" Zhang Yue'er's voice was crisp, neither humble nor arrogant. The attitude is sincere, but it gives people a feeling of rejection thousands of miles away.
"The general has sent a letter, I specially sent it to Miss Zhang" Dong Wan'er showed a smile and handed over the letter.
"I'm tired of the county lord running in person," Zhang Yue'er said and was about to take the letter.
was snatched by the red sleeves next to him.
"The negative man has a letter, let me see"
Zhang Yue'er was also helpless for a while, this red sleeve has never been big or small, and smiled apologetically to Dong Wan'er.
"Hmph, this negative man still wants his sister to help him. Let's dream," Red Sleeves said a few words, handed the letter to Zhang Yue'er, and took Zhang Yue'er's hand and said.
"Sister Yue'er, you can't be deceived by him anymore, the last time he came to Luoyang, he said it well. But he ......" Red Sleeves seemed to think of something, looked up at Dong Wan'er, hurriedly lowered his head, and said no more.
Zhang Yue'er hurriedly read the letter, handed it back to Dong Wan'er and said.
"Since the general has been summoned, I will go from now on, I don't know when the caravan of the county lord's family will be able to set off."
"In a day or two at the latest, please ask Miss Zhang to ...... this matter."
Before Dong Wan'er finished speaking, she saw a girl ring hurriedly running in. grabbed Zhang Yue'er's hand and said.
"Miss Zhang, go and save our young lady, he was surrounded by that Deng Gongzi and his people"
The person Zhang Yueer knows is the maid ring next to Miss Mi. At this time, Xiao Yahuan's eyes were red, and tears were falling down, which was very pitiful.
"Don't worry, say slowly, where is your young lady now"
"It's in the alley ahead, Miss Zhang, go quickly, please"
"Sister Yue'er, let's go, that Deng Gongzi is not a good person," Red Sleeves also said anxiously. After speaking, he pulled Zhang Yue'er and walked out.
"I'll go with you too" Dong Wan'er also followed, she didn't worry about Dong Wan'er going, so she followed.
Several women turned the street. When I came to an alley, I saw Deng Chang with a few subordinates, surrounding Miss Mi in the corner.
"Miss Mi, why are you so bothered, you promised to be my Deng Chang's woman, what do you want to do in the whole Luoyang, and it is not easy for your Xuzhou Mi family business to come to Luoyang" Deng Chang said with a lewd face. Since the last time Wang Gang ruined his good deeds, he has restrained a little. But since he learned that Wang Gang had just gone to Bingzhou, he was unscrupulous.
Today, he originally wanted to go to the Mi family's grain store to make some more trouble, but he didn't expect to see Miss Mi in this alley, and immediately ordered his subordinates to surround her. There are almost no pedestrians here, and even if people are forcibly taken away, few people know, and Deng Chang's courage is much greater.
"Your Deng family has a big business, and the little girl can't afford to climb high, please ask Deng Gongzi to get out of the way, otherwise I will report to the official"
"I advise Miss Mi, don't toast and don't eat, eat and punish wine"
"I've got something to do, get out of the way"
A touch of viciousness flashed in Deng Chang's eyes, and he raised his hand and gave Miss Mi a slap. Hearing only a crisp snap, Miss Mi was beaten with gold stars in her eyes, and she fell to her knees on the ground, and a wisp of red overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Shame on me, grab me"
A few subordinates were about to step forward, but they saw a few women walking into the alley, all of them were beautiful and moving, and several subordinates were stunned, and even Deng Chang felt as if he was in a dream.
"Stop, what are you doing, robbing the people's girls in broad daylight," Zhang Yue'er said angrily.
Deng Chang laughed twice, took two steps forward and said in front of Zhang Yue'er.
"The little lady is so handsome, it's better to follow me. Guarantee you prosperity and wealth......"
Just as Deng Chang was about to continue, he heard a cold voice say.
"All of you Deng family members have been thrown away by you"
"This little lady ......" Deng Chang saw that Dong Wan'er was also beautiful and moving, and couldn't help but want to laugh a few words, but was covered by a subordinate, and whispered a few words in his ear, Deng Chang's face suddenly turned pale with fright.
glanced at Dong Wan'er, and said with a reluctant smile.
"I don't know how much the county lord is offended in person"
But Deng Chang always felt a little cold behind him, which made him very uncomfortable, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Little farewell, farewell" After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the outside of the alley with a few subordinates.
Dong Wan'er didn't stop it, how can you say that Deng Chang is also the son of the eldest princess, even if she reports to the government, there will be no result, but she offends the Deng family in vain.
Seeing Deng Chang walking away, several people stepped forward and helped Miss Mi to Zhang's cloth shop.
"Mi Zhen, thank you for saving the county lord" Mi Zhen bowed to Dong Wan'er.
(Here is also a brief discussion of the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.)
There are no chairs in the Han Dynasty, generally kneeling, if someone comes in at this time, then they have to kneel and salute, so that the two are of similar height, and there is no meaning of derogation, generally for the sake of respect for others, they will choose to stand to receive guests, so that the other party only needs to bow. But if there is too much difference in status, such as the younger generation seeing the elders, even if the elders are standing, they must bow down, and there is another situation, that is, the person who sees the position or title in vain also has to kneel and bow. Some people here will ask why Zhang Yue'er doesn't have to kneel when she sees Dong Wan'er, it's because Zhang Yue'er's father is Luoyang Ling, and in ancient times, when his father was an official, his children would be regarded as sons and daughters by default, which is equivalent to having an official position, but Mi Zhen does not have this privilege)
"Miss Mi, please get up, even then Deng Chang is not afraid of me, I am here today, he is temporarily leaving, next time I am afraid that he will find trouble with Miss Mi, Miss Mi still made plans early" Dong Wan'er said slightly apologetically.
"For today's plan, I can only leave Luoyang and return to Xuzhou" Mi Zhen sighed, thinking that he came to Luoyang at the beginning, but he swore to the two brothers that he would go to Haikou and must open the market in Luoyang.
