Chapter 254: Spring Outside the City

Outside the city of Jingzhou, the peach and apricot blossoms bloom, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, brilliant like the sun, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the spring is just right. The people in the city, call friends to accompany them, go out of the city, enjoy the flowers and play, some walk in the flower forest to watch the flowers, some chase and frolic in the flowers, and a few ethereal songs came from afar. There were a few pedantic old men, in front of a flower tree, pointing and shaking their heads, to chant a few spring flower poems.

There was a young man, not yet twenty years old, of medium stature, thin and weak, with a handsome face and elegant manners. His surname is Hu Mingqiong. Hu Qiong's ancestor was the magistrate of the county for a term, and he accumulated a piece of furniture, a large house with three courtyards in the city, and more than 200 acres of fields outside the city, but it has declined in Hu Qiong's generation.

On this day, I heard that the spring outside the city was lively, and Hu Qiong was moved to play. In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and he slowly walked out of the city without a servant, holding a folding fan in his hand.

Outside the city, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the wind is smooth, and the spring is beautiful. Hu Qiong walked along the path, the grass was verdant, and she walked forward step by step, and saw that the flowers were charming, white and white, red and red, like a beautiful face of a girl. There is a small stream in front, along which there are two rows of willows, between which there are red and burning peach blossoms, and there are yellow warblers crying in the flowers. Hu Qiong was overjoyed when she saw it, so she walked towards the stream.

Walking along the stream, dividing the flowers and brushing the willows, and being happy, I suddenly saw a slender figure flashing in the shadow of the willows. Hu Qiong hurriedly walked forward and walked a distance, but she didn't see the shadow. was puzzled, suddenly heard a crisp laughter, Hu Qiong hurriedly followed, and saw a green lawn in front of him, there was a peach tree, the peach blossoms in full bloom were so many and colorful, that the flower branches were about to hang down to the ground, and four or five girls were frolicking around the peach blossom.

Hu Qiong hurriedly hid behind a flower tree, stretched out her neck and looked at the group of beauties, all of them were brightly dressed, with slender figures, ruddy faces, and smiles like flowers. Among them, there is a beautiful woman who is particularly outstanding, with snowy skin and bright eyes and bright teeth, which makes Hu Qiong's heart pound.

Hu Qiong looked at the beauty, but she didn't realize that she was already demented there.

Hu Qiong was looking at it, and suddenly felt a hot breath blowing next to his right face, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and a big round face with white flesh appeared in front of his eyebrows, and he couldn't help jumping in fright.

When the man saw it, he smiled and said unceremoniously, "You're looking at a beautiful woman, right?"

"No...... I didn't ......" Hu Qiong shook his hand, unable to argue.

When the group of beauties heard the sound, they were so frightened that they held hands and helped each other run away, and a dream seemed to float on the empty grass.

"Not honest!" said the big fat face contemptuously.

Hu Qiong blushed and lowered her head.

"What's so shy about this?" The big fat face actually held a jade folding fan in his hand, shook it gently, and said in his mouth:

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman. ”

The big round face groaned and asked, "What's your name?"

"Hu Qiong. ”

"Hu Qiong. The big fat face muttered, tilting his head, "This name is so familiar." ”

Hu Qiong said: "Lord Wang, I'm leaving." ”

It turns out that this miserable white flesh-faced person is the King of Chu, the famous little prince in Jingzhou City, who doesn't know? Half of Jingzhou's fields are owned by other people, and their wealth is luxurious, which one is not capable of flattering the little prince?

But Hu Qiong didn't like to deal with him. It turns out that the little prince is not yet twenty years old this year, but he is already a well-known winemaker. He was born as a little prince, as if his only mission in this world was to eat and drink.

No, he also has a mission, which is to chase women. As long as there is a beautiful woman in his eyes, he will do everything possible to get it.

Hu Qiong ignored him and turned around to leave. The little prince thought he was embarrassed, so he said, "Everyone is in the same way, why do you want to go?"

Hu Qiong still bowed his head and hurriedly left, and the little prince stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve with his chubby flesh hand, Hu Qiong was afraid that the sleeve would be broken, so he didn't dare to move. When the little prince saw that he didn't move, he thought that everyone was a fellow believer by default.

This little prince has endless money to spend and endless wine, so he loves to be lively, and a group of people come to accompany him to drink and mess around. Today, he took this group of people who were inclined to the flames to travel outside the city. When the little prince was drinking, he was a little anxious, so he ran out, saw Hu Qiong looking at the beauty, and thought that he had finally found a confidant, so he came up and held his hand.

The little prince said: "I have a group of friends over there, let's go and sit down." ”

Although this little prince is a little fat, some good wine, and some lustful, he didn't offend himself, and he was warmly invited, so he really had no reason to refuse. Thinking of this, Hu Qiong couldn't help but let the little prince pull him and walked forward.

Walk up the embankment and continue on your way. There is a hill in front of it, and the trees on the hill are dense and verdant, and it is indeed a fun place. The little prince was very interested, took Hu Qiong's hand and kept walking towards the hill. The trail is paved with stones.

The little prince said: "This mountain stone was paved by me last year, not sticking to a little plaster, do you think it is good? There is a pavilion halfway up the mountainside, which I also built last year, and the pavilion is full of all kinds of flowers and trees, and the flowers bloom continuously in all seasons. Let's go to the pavilion now to drink and enjoy the flowers. ”

The mountain is not high, and after a while, I will come to the Mid-Mountain Pavilion. There were seven or eight people sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, and when they saw the little prince coming, they all stood up together and came down the mountain to greet them.

The little prince said happily: "You see, I brought a new friend here. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Hu. ”

"Do you know each other?" asked the little prince.

"How don't you know. Lord Wang, do you remember, last year, Brother Hu won the first place in our Jingzhou City exam. ”

"yes. The little prince patted his fat head with his fat hand and said, "I remember, at that time, I also ran to the yamen to see it." No wonder I was familiar with the name as soon as I first heard it. ”

The little prince said to everyone, "I'm a good person, but I'm afraid of reading. When I was a child, my father forced me to read, and when I picked up the book, I either fell asleep or had a headache. I also beat away a few teachers, and no one in Jingzhou City will dare to teach me in the future. Later, my father saw that I was not a reading material, so he stopped caring about me reading. Ladies and gentlemen, this king respects the people who love to read the most, I invite a great talent today, you all have to respect the talented man with a glass of wine. ”

"Okay. Everyone gathered around the little prince and walked into the mid-mountain pavilion and sat down, and his own servants rearranged the wine bowl and served a few plates of hot dishes. The environment here is really good, all kinds of flowers and trees surround the pavilion, and all the flowers are stretched into the pavilion to open.

The little prince took the lead and came to toast Hu Qiong with a glass of wine. After a while, everyone blushed, their voices became higher and higher, and they staggered their sleeves and staggered their plans, and even the birds on the hill flew away.

It was not until evening that the people came down from the hill and hurried back to the city.

When they were separated, the little prince was still holding Hu Qiong's hand, reluctant to let him go.

In this way, the little prince and Hu Qiong became friends. The palace is magnificent, the life is luxurious, it is really a small banquet on three days, a big banquet on the fifth day, the little prince himself does not read, but he admires Hu Qiong's books well, and every time he feasts, he calls someone to pick up Hu Qiong. Seeing that the little prince and Hu Qiong were getting closer, some of the other helpers were almost jealous.

On the morning of this day, a servant of the palace walked into Hu Qiong's house and said that the little prince was going to invite Hu Qiong to a banquet. This Hu Qiong has been fooling around with the little prince for a while, knowing that he either drinks or picks women every day, and he is very impatient with him. Today, when he saw his family coming to invite him, he said:

"I'm not feeling well today and can't go. Please thank the little prince on my behalf. ”

The royal family is gone.

An hour later, two yamen officers broke into Hu Qiong's house and shouted, "Who is Hu Qiong?"

Hu Qiong hurriedly walked over and asked what was going on? The boss said: "The little prince sued you, saying that when you were drunk last night, you molested a maid in his house. Now let me go to the yamen. ”

Hu Qiong said: "I didn't go to the palace to drink last night." ”

"I don't care about that, I'm only responsible for arresting people. If you have anything to say, go and tell the master. ”

couldn't help but say, put the chain on Hu Qiong's neck, and didn't care whether he was the first in the exam or not, pulled him up and walked out of the door.
