Volume 1, Chapter 142 of the Wisdom Fight in the Capital, there are women like jade
Xu Ke saw Zhao Yu fainting in his arms, and guessed that she must have been tortured by Nan'an Pingsi's people. So he picked up Zhao Yu on his back, and walked to the gate of Tsing Yiwei, thinking about taking her out of here first.
Xu Ke walked out of the Tsing Yi guard with Zhao Yu on his back, and the guards guarding the door couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that the Lord of the Hundred Households had carried another woman out, but he didn't dare to come forward to ask, so he just bowed down from afar. They were no stranger to the strange things that this youngest of the 100 households in the Tsing Yi Guard had done.
Xu Ke carried the unconscious Zhao Yu on his back and strode towards Dongshi. He remembered that there was a famous medical clinic in the middle of the East Market. At this moment, he didn't know how Zhao Yu's injuries were, so he was naturally anxious to ask Lang Zhong to treat her first.
Although it is winter, the sun is still shining, and the East Market is still bustling and lively, with people coming and going and vendors shouting and shouting everywhere. In addition to Linlang Department Store, there are also various restaurants, steamed bun shops, and food stalls. From time to time, the street smells of green onion cakes, large meat buns, tender roasted lamb trotters, steamed tofu brains and other dim sum food. Xu Ke was about to walk to the door of the medical hall, and Zhao Yu on his back said:
"Childe, let me down! I'm all right......"
Xu Ke gently lowered Zhao Yu's body, but saw that Zhao Yu's face had already shown a slight blush, and the weak appearance of his previous pale face and sweating suddenly disappeared. Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Xiaoyu, are you really all right? Why did you suddenly faint just now? Who executed you?"
When Zhao Yu heard this, he suddenly remembered the fierce and vicious appearance of Pei Caibao and the others just now, so he said aggrievedly: "Early this morning, as soon as Ping An and Joy sent Mr. Qiu out, I saw a group of strongmen rushing into the cottage and arresting me for no reason...... That one...... That's the place of the South Division. As soon as they came up, they clamped me with a stick, and it hurt me so much! My legs were about to be broken by them, Xu Gongzi, look at ......."
After that, Zhao Yu lifted his trouser leg and showed Xu Ke the injuries to her legs. Unexpectedly, she lifted her trouser legs high, revealing a pair of white and flawless calves, where can she find the slightest injury!
When the surrounding passers-by saw Zhao Yu raising his trouser legs for no reason, revealing a long calf, they couldn't help but stop and watch, comment, and point. Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Yu let go of his hand and put down his trouser legs, and comforted him softly: "If there are no scars, that's the best!"
"Huh, it's strange! It hurt me like this just now, and there was no bruise left at all! What's going on?" Zhao Yu said in surprise. She lowered her head and thought for a while, but she still couldn't figure it out. She couldn't wait to pick up her trouser leg again to take a good look, but at this time, she was naturally embarrassed when the city was busy.
Xu Ke said: "It should be Nan'an Pingsi who arrested you, you just said that the leader is a person surnamed Pei? Do you remember what he looks like? How old is he?"
Zhao Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Well, it's a guy surnamed Pei, he is about fifty years old, he looks very ugly, he is a fat man, and he is bald......
Xu Ke blurted out: "Pei Caibao......! It's him!"
"Who is Pei Caibao?" why did he arrest me?" asked Zhao Yu.
Xu Ke replied: "He is a thousand households of the Nan'an Ping Division, and he must have arrested you to deal with Mr. Qiu......" Seeing that Zhao Yu was thinking about it in his heart, and he wanted to stop talking about something, Xu Ke asked again:
"Miss Xiaoyu, you were arrested in Nan'an Pingsi, how did you escape?"
Zhao Yu replied: "I don't know either! I just remember that they tortured me, and then ...... Then I seemed to faint in pain, and when I woke up, I found that everyone inside was dead. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I ran out in a hurry......"
Hearing this, it was Xu Ke's turn to be surprised. After a little thought in his heart, he knew that there must be something strange about this matter, but when it was a busy city, he didn't want to ask too much. He looked at Zhao Yu again, and although he saw that her expression was already as usual, she still looked tired after being frightened. So, he asked by the way: "Miss Xiaoyu, are you hungry?"
"Hungry...... Zhao Yu lowered his head, rubbed the corners of his clothes, and answered softly.
Xu Ke took Zhao Yu to find a rather bright restaurant, ordered four famous signature dishes for her, and called three flatbreads, a bowl of tofu brain, and a large plate of meat buns.
Xu Ke had already eaten lunch, so he sat aside and watched Zhao Yu eat. He originally thought that Zhao Yu was a thin girl, and the dishes she ordered were enough for her to eat and drink a few meals. still
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu looked gentle and graceful as a woman, but her appearance was not very good-looking. When she saw those beautifully cooked dishes, she did not refuse to come, and opened her hands from side to side, like a wind and clouds, and in a short time, she ate all the food on the table.
Xu Ke couldn't help but be stunned. He said in his heart that he couldn't see this girl, and her eating appearance was comparable to that of my second brother! He saw Zhao Yu wipe a mouthful of oily lips, thinking that she must have eaten enough. Out of politeness, he asked again: "Xiaoyu, is it enough? Are you full? Do you want to have a few more plates of steamed buns." ”
After Xu Ke finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. However, Zhao Yu's reply almost made his mouth full of tea squirt.
"Then let's have three more plates of steamed buns, they're so delicious!" Zhao Yu replied.
You must know that there are six large meat buns in a large plate, and people who don't eat much can eat this plate of buns. With Zhao Yu's girl's family, she can still eat three large plates of meat buns!
"Shopkeeper, here are five more plates of meat buns, three flatbreads, two bowls of tofu brains, and a few more delicate side dishes to stir-fry!" Xu Ke beckoned to Xiao Er who ran the hall and commanded.
"Gotcha...... Guest, you really have a good appetite! I don't dare to boast about anything else, it's this big bag in the north, the meat filling is fat, the skin is rosin, and it is a must in this store!"
Seeing Xu Ke's lake-blue official robe, the shopkeeper knew that he was a five-grade official. This ordinary small restaurant is a group of peddlers and pawns on weekdays, and it is rare to come to such a big official, so how can Xiao Er not work hard?
"Xu Gongzi...... Isn't it too much?" I saw that the running hall kept bringing meat buns, flatbread, and tofu brains...... A square table was already full of food, Zhao Yu said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's not Deyue Mansion here, things are cheap, there is not much money, you can eat, until you are full! Today, you have been hungry since early in the morning, it has been five hours, and you should eat more!" Xu Ke waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Hmm...... I don't know what's going on today, I'm very hungry and able to eat...... It made Xu Gongzi laugh!" Zhao Yu grinned. As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a large meat bun in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it......
After another moment, the square table was empty again. Xu Ke couldn't help but feel surprised and amused, and he asked again: "Xiaoyu, is it enough?
"Enough is enough, Xu Gongzi, this time is really enough......" Zhao Yu burped and waved his hand again and again.
After eating, Xu Ke still felt uneasy, so he personally escorted Zhao Yu back to the Autumn Leaf Grass Hall. Zhao Yu was too full, so he proposed that the two of them walk all the way back to the thatched cottage in the south of the city, and Xu Ke readily agreed.
From Dongshi to Huaizhenfang in the south of Chang'an City, the distance is very far. The two walked slowly all the way and talked all the way.
Hearing Zhao Yu talk about her experience of urinating without her mother since she was a child, and later her father was sick and left her, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel sympathy. The two talked about the fact that Zhao Village was almost burned, and Xu Ke asked:
"Xiaoyu, you grew up in Zhao Village since you were a child, and those neighbors have no grudges against you, why are you so cruel and want to burn you alive?"
Zhao Yu sighed and said: "Young Master Xu, they said that I brought fire to the village and brought drought to the village, and they also said that I was a disaster star who killed the people around me." However, I guess the biggest reason is that the patriarch's grandson died......"
Xu Ke couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "The patriarch's grandson died, what does it have to do with you......?"
Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "I don't know what's going on? That night, the patriarch's grandson took three people to arrest me in a ruined temple outside the village. They ganged up to bully me, tied me with ropes, manipulated me, and tried to give me ...... I was struggling desperately, and I fainted in a hurry, and when I woke up, I saw the patriarch's grandson lying beside me, his eyes protruding like dead fish, and his neck being broken. I was frightened, and was about to flee, when I saw the chief of the clan carrying a torch and a group of men, and without saying a word, he tied me up. They insisted that I was a 'demon girl', and later, they were going to burn me to death in public, but fortunately I met Xu Gongzi......"
Xu Ke listened to Zhao Yu's past, and couldn't help but be furious: "This damn patriarch! I really cheapened him last time! I already knew that the heart of a beast in the face of others was not a thing."
, he should have been burned alive!"
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Young Master Xu, if you burn the patriarch to death, won't you become a murderer!"
Xu Ke also smiled and said: "Don't be afraid! This son has this Kunwu sword in his hand, and he kills a six-grade official without blinking his eyes, not to mention removing an ignorant villager? Who told him to train such a descendant who is inferior to pigs and dogs, and he is so cruel and careless of human life!"
Zhao Yu couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, lowered his head, and said quietly: "Young Master Xu, it's hard for you to still complain about me like this." Xiaoyu was able to be rescued by his son, and he was already thankful. Actually, there is nothing wrong with the patriarch, in his eyes, I am naturally the murderer of his grandson. Maybe...... Maybe Xiaoyu is really an ominous person!"
Xu Ke hurriedly took one of Zhao Yu's tender right hands and said earnestly: "Xiaoyu, don't say these nonsense! Your parents are dead, and your relatives are gone, you can only blame this ruthless God! What does this have to do with you! I, Xu Ke, am also like you, my parents have been sick one after another since I was a child, am I also an ominous person? The ignorant and ugly people in the countryside are really ridiculous! How can you listen to those nonsense! You are already a hard-working person, and in the future, you must not feel sorry for yourself like this......
"Hmm...... Xiaoyu knows, thank you Gongzi for your concern!" Zhao Yu replied in a low voice, and inadvertently, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Xu Ke only cared about gentle words and soothing at this time, where could he have thought that it was this little hand that was as soft as a spring, a few hours ago, in the blink of an eye, it had already resulted in the lives of seven Tsing Yi Wei men. If you talk about who is the real "kill a person without blinking your eyes", in front of Zhao Yu's eyes, I am afraid that Xu Ke is really smiling and generous.
......
The two talked and laughed, and walked straight for more than an hour before returning to the autumn leaf grass hall in Huaizhenfang. At this time, it was the beginning of the unitary period, and Xu Ke simply stayed in the grass hall and waited for Mr. Qiu to go home after duty.
"Childe, you sit down for a while, Mr. Qiu will be here in a while, Xiaoyu will go to the kitchen first......" Zhao Yu made a cup of Huayu tea for Xu Ke, smiled at him and said a word, and hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
Looking at Zhao Yu's figure leaping away like a dexterous flying swallow, when he thought of her extraordinary cooking skills, Xu Ke couldn't help but smile in his heart. He picked up the blue and white celadon bowl, took a sip slightly, and suddenly felt like a spring breeze.
"It's good tea! it's really a good ......," Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
......
Almost at the same time, in the front hall of the Xu Mansion, Shu Haotian couldn't help but have a great appetite for a table of exquisite dishes, and his stomach was already like thunder. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Oh, don't wait, don't wait! Wait any longer, my old man is about to faint from hunger!"
"Old Master Shuxian, let's wait a little longer...... Brother Xu should be on duty, maybe he will be there soon?" Yao Zibei insisted tactfully. Most of the sumptuous dishes on today's table were cooked by herself. She has been smart since she was a child, in addition to her love of reading, her cooking skills are also outstanding, and she is famous for her cooking.
Shu hattian tore the leg of a stewed duck without hesitation, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He nibbled on meat and drank at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen dishes had entered his mouth and swallowed into his stomach......
"It's so delicious, Xiaobei, you're really amazing! My old man's stomach will be handed over to you in the future!" Shu hattian didn't forget to praise while eating.
"You're in a hurry!" Hu Yiyi glanced at Shu Hattian, picked up his chopsticks, and smiled at Yao Zibei: "Sister, let's eat first......!
"Yes, yes, let's eat quickly! You are waiting for him here, maybe, the disease-free brother is drinking tea with which girl is alive at this moment!" He was in the Tsing Yi guard today, but he heard the guards saying with his own ears that Xu Baihu carried a beautiful woman and hurried out......
"Just you talk a lot!" Hu Yiyi knocked Shu Haotian's chopsticks and glanced at him again.
Yao Zibei had to pick up the chopsticks too, put a piece of vegetable stalk in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. While she was eating, she couldn't help but look in the direction of the front yard.
Passing through the front yard, it is the gatehouse of Xufu's lofty style. If Xu Ke returns home at this time, as soon as he enters the gatehouse, his handsome and upright figure will naturally meet Yao Zibei's eyes.
