Chapter 10: Riding the Horse
Both sides are smart people, and it's not that they don't understand the meaning of the words. For the time being, there is no plan, which means that there is indeed the possibility of cooperation.
This plum tea is sweet and sour, and the taste is good.
Li Fuchao poured himself another glass, feeling that there seemed to be no one around, and asked casually: "The little girl next to my sister, why is there no shadow?" ”
Zhu Xingchun looked at the sky outside the window and wrote lightly: "Oh, calculate the time, it's time to come back." ”
As soon as the words fell, the jacaranda happened to come back with a burden, and said smartly: "Miss, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
No one noticed when she was, and while so many people weren't looking, she slipped out of the back door.
Zhu Xingchun stood up: "I have been on the road for a day today, and I am a little tired, so I am one step ahead." I've already settled the account, Li Gongzi, I'll see you another day. ”
With that, she turned around and walked out of the inn, and the jacaranda followed behind, glancing at Li Fuchao with complicated eyes.
Almost walking near the downtown area, Zhu Xingchun slowed down, and his voice fell like a cold spring: "What is the identity of that person in Yangzhou City?" ”
The jacaranda took out a token with a simple pattern from the burden and handed it to her solemnly, Zhu Xingchun took it, frowned and read out the words above: "Longxi Li's?" ”
There was an old saying that the royal family with flowing water is a family with iron. Within the national capital, there are eight great families entrenched in all corners, and the Li family is one of the families that cannot be underestimated.
Rao is Zhu Xingchun counted ten moves, and he never thought that Li Fuchao's background would be so prominent.
Hua Ying shook his head: "No, on the contrary, Li Gongzi's lineage, but only the bloodline of the Longxi lineage, has long been expelled from the main family and came out of the door." Decades ago, the former head of the family moved to Yangzhou City, starting from scratch by weaving straw hats and straw shoes, and now he is a generation of wealthy families. ”
Zhu Xingchun turned back curiously: "Is it such a people-friendly business?" ”
Hua Ying said: "Exactly, but now it is not what it used to be, and the head of the family has long stopped making the fabrics himself." The young lady looked at both sides of the street, and hung a lotus-colored curtain, and there were green bamboo-style wind chimes hanging on the corner of the eaves, which was the Li family's shop. ”
Zhu Xingchun raised his eyelashes and glanced around with a heavy gaze. This is already a very lively area, and half of the ten portals are from the Li family.
She thought about Li Fuchao's body, if it was said that the children of the Ling clan wore gold and silver, I am afraid that they would be able to afford it.
It's just that the people of the world light business, especially such merchants who have been separated from the noble clan, I am afraid that they have experienced a long period of not very smooth days.
Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that the head of the Li family forced Li Fuchao to get ahead as soon as possible......
Zhu Xingchun was thinking about things and didn't pay attention to the road, so he didn't hear the frightened cry of the jacaranda: "Miss, watch out for the right!" ”
It wasn't until the neighing of the horse's hooves sounded not far away that Zhu Xingchun came back to his senses abruptly, stopped, and stared sharply at the canopy carriage.
Under the street vendors in the downtown area, who doesn't even care about Fadu, and dares to drive quickly here?!
Suddenly, Zhu Xingchun's gaze locked on the thin shadow in the middle of the road.
The woman crawled on her knees with two strands of pigtails hanging from her shoulders, carrying a basket in one hand and a flustered other hand, picking up fruits and vegetables that had fallen to the ground with a helpless expression.
And the sound of the horse's hooves did not stop, and the coachman's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he was about to run over her directly!
At this moment, the woman's figure inexplicably coincided with the deepest scar in Zhu Xingchun's memory.
Her eyes turned red, and without hesitation, she pulled the clasp from her head, stepped forward and took the woman's wrist with one hand, and then nailed the sharp corner into the horse's neck!
The horses were in pain and raised their front hooves high, but the coachman, seeing that the situation was not good, desperately grabbed the reins, accompanied by a strong dusty atmosphere, and stabilized the whole car.
The jacaranda was holding a basket larger than her face, and Zhu Xingchun took the woman to both sides of the road and comforted: "Auntie, it's all right." ”
The woman seemed frightened, and in the distance, a soft female voice came from the carriage: "What's the matter?" ”
The coachman glanced at the three of them from top to bottom, then nodded and said to the people in the carriage: "Second girl, it's just a few grass mustards, which disturb your rest, and the next person will deal with it in a while, and it won't be delayed." ”
The female voice paused, and then admonished: "Do things neatly, don't keep me waiting." ”
After getting the master's order, a group of Diao slaves immediately surrounded him viciously, and the leading coachman moved his wrists, shoulders and neck, showed unkindness, and said condescendingly: "Stinky girls, eat bear-hearted leopard guts, dare to block the prefect's way, weigh how many catties and taels you have?" ”
In the eyes of the ordinary people, the prefect of Yangzhou City is the biggest official position they have ever seen in their cognition.
But I want to use this name to scare away Zhu Xingchun......
Her expression remained unchanged, and her eyes as deep as Gu Tan looked directly at the carriage without fear, as if she wanted to see through the person sitting inside.
After an indifferent glance, her voice seemed to have gone through a wave of water: "In the blue sky and white day, can the prefect shuttle through the street vendors in a grand manner, regardless of the life and death of the people?" I don't know which way your government is doing, and where is the law? ”
Probably because of the experience of being choked rarely, the coachman was obviously stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, his face with high cheekbones was even more fierce, and he snorted on the ground: "Where are you the thorn that popped up?" I don't know here, my lord says one, and there is no second objection? ”
"It turned out to be a word." The jacaranda couldn't listen to it, and mocked, "I'm not afraid of breaking the blessings of the prefect." ”
"You!"
"Okay," Zhu Xingchun scolded lightly, and there was no blame in his tone.
"Could it be that a horse raised by a parent or an official family in a place is more noble than a living human life? You are a rat and insect generation, and you are the one who uses chicken feathers as an arrow, I really want to accompany you to see who this prefect is. Can you say the kind of rebellious words you just now said in front of so many people? ”
"If the Holy Saint passes by here in the future, and listens to this ambition and pride, I am afraid that he will also be moved, and even the dragon chair must be patted clean, please take a seat!"
Her hands were hidden in layers of cuffs, and three sharpened embroidery needles shimmered silver.
This was originally because she was walking outside, worried about attracting jackals, and in order to protect herself, she deliberately kept it for self-defense. The moment the hairpin was thrown out, it was already pinched in the palm of his hand.
I wish Xingchun not to make trouble, and not to be afraid of things, this Diao slave is looking for her, obviously to make fun of her.
Isn't it just a high hat, the local government loves it so much, why don't you weld it to your head?
