Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Wind of a Gentleman
Chen Shu saw that this girl He's clothes were torn several times, and she was really not dressed decently. After looking around the house, he took off his robe and handed it over: "Miss He, I'm here to save you, get dressed, and I'll take you to see your father." ”
The girl looked at him between her fingers for a moment, then slowly took her clothes and put them on. Chen Shu waited a little impatiently, but it was normal to think that a big girl in someone else would encounter this kind of thing, and there would be some shadows.
Finally waited for her to get dressed, twisted and pinched her arms and lowered her head, and whispered, "Male...... Childe and father ......"
Chen Shu frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know your father before, it's just that the road is uneven, and I just draw a knife to help." Let's go. ”
He really didn't have the patience to talk to this girl, and strode out the door. Then Miss He hurriedly followed. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he was confronted by several people who looked like slaves, and when he saw this, he was stunned at first, and then opened his mouth to cry. Chen Shu rushed forward and knocked out all the people with a few palms. Miss He thought he had killed these again, so she was so frightened that she covered her eyes and didn't dare to look at them.
When Chen Shu walked to the side of the hall and listened to the conversation inside, he only heard one person say: "Lao Xu, I heard that the old guy surnamed He is pretending to be crazy and stupid on the street every day, isn't it good?"
Xu Xiangping sneered: "There's nothing bad about it, don't hide it from the general, and leave him with a life, just to let him make a fool of himself." Let everyone know the fate of offending me Xu Xiangping!"
General Lu laughed and praised: "It's really you, come, drink and drink!"
Xu Xiangping paused, and then said: "Don't worry about Old Man He, it's the kid named Deng Qing, who has to be killed." I think that kid is a little weird. ”
General Lu said curiously: "Didn't you already break one of that guy's legs?
Xu Xiangping snorted and said, "That kid is a cheap bone! General, do you know that he and this old man's daughter have actually been engaged since childhood. At that time, his family had money, and it was not worse than the He family. It's just that the family fell later, and when the old man saw that his family was poor, he didn't even marry his daughter to him. I just gave him a few small coins occasionally, and this cheap bone was actually grateful to Dade, this time I broke a leg, and he dared to hide Old Man He in private, thinking that I didn't know. ”
General Lu smiled: "It turns out that there is this kind of story, according to the acting method in the play, this girl He must be extremely virtuous, she had a big fight with her father, and it became a good thing with Deng Qing in private, right?"
Xu Xiangping laughed and said, "How can there be such a thing? Deng Qing is ugly, and the girl of the He family is annoyed when she sees him, and often beats and scolds him. ”
Chen Shu was surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to Miss He beside him and asked, "What he said is the truth?"
Miss He's face turned red, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
Chen Shu nodded, it seems that this is also a world of faces.
I only listened to Xu Xiangping's gloomy tone, and discussed with General Lu how to catch Deng Qing to death, so that he would regret going against him.
Chen Shu snorted and strode over. There were two family members guarding the door, and before they could react, they were kicked away by him.
Xu Xiangping stood up and shouted, "Who is it?"
Chen Shu walked into the hall and took a look, these two people were sneaky and gloomy, and they were not good goods at first glance. He laughed and said, "The Soul Hook Messenger invites you to come on your way! Xu Xiangping, please!"
strode up, and hit the general with one palm. This person is a Jin ** official, so he must have some ability.
Unexpectedly, when the guy saw Chen Shu, his face was frightened, and when he wanted to stand up, he drank too much wine and staggered. Chen Shu slapped him in the chest, and suddenly slammed his head out, banging against the wall, his brain bursting out, whining and wailing.
Xu Xiangping's face was full of fear, and he suddenly lowered his head and ran to the door of the hall. Chen Shu grabbed a handful and lifted him up, Xu Xiangping's legs were still kicked in the air a few times, and suddenly cried: "Daxia spares his life! Daxia spares his life! The villain's cousin is Dajin's commander Lu He, Daxia, please be gracious!" He was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and his words seemed to be pleading, threatening, and indecent.
Chen Shu smiled: "That's right, I specialize in killing traitors." Xu Xiangping, pay for the life of the He family!" With a casual hand, he threw him straight out, and was throwing him above the hall door, when a protruding wooden rafter went straight into his throat. Xu Xiangping's eyes bulged out, and he was suddenly out of breath.
Chen Shu saw a plate of yellow and clear gold ingots on the table in the hall, thinking that Xu Xiangping had dedicated it to this general. He honestly and unceremoniously swept into his bag, strode out of the door, picked up the He girl, and jumped out of the He house.
He did things neatly, and by the time the deceased was found, he had already taken Miss He and rode away from the town.
I made an appointment with Deng Qing before and waited for the first tea shed on the official road in the east. The black horse's feet were like flying, and after a while, he had galloped to the tea shed, and saw Deng Qing standing outside, stretching his neck to look.
When he saw Chen Shu and Miss He, he greeted him with a smile on his face and shouted, "Are you okay, Daxia?"
Chen Shu looked at him, shook his head, and smiled: "I don't have anything to do, it's just that this girl is frightened." ”
Deng Qing hurriedly looked at Miss He and asked in a low voice, "Yue ...... Miss Yue, how are you?"
Miss He was put off the horse by Chen Shu, crossed her lips, glanced at Deng Qing with a complicated expression, shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Where is my father?"
Deng Qing pointed to the tea shed, and Miss He ran in with her head down. Seeing that Deng Qing was stunned, Chen Shu sighed lightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Deng, junior brother has something to ask." ”
Deng Qing hurriedly said: "Engong, please speak, but there is an order, Deng Qing has nothing to do." ”
Chen Shu pulled him aside and asked, "I heard that you and this Miss He have been engaged since childhood. It's just that your Uncle He dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and he regrets his family affairs, but is this so?"
Deng Qing was stunned for a while, then nodded: "That's true, Engong...... How do you know?"
Chen Shu sneered: "Since this surname He treats you so much, Miss He also treats you with no affection." If you are a manly man and have a little ambition, you should be ashamed of it and keep it in mind. Why do you want to please their father and daughter, and even take him in when he has his leg broken? Isn't this self-inferior?"
Deng Qing was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked into the distance for a while, and said in a low voice: "Engong Rongyu, I, Deng Qing, have also read books since I was a child, have read books, read the books of sages, and understand the principles of gentlemen." Although it is useless, I am not a lowly person. It's just that I don't think Uncle He has anything to do with me. Although there is a marriage contract when I was young, as the saying goes, the door is not the right household, and the marriage is not spoken. Although my family is poor, but they are poor and happy, and they will not climb high because of an empty contract. Although Uncle He regretted his marriage, when my mother died, the family had no money to bury her, so he paid for her burial. This alone is enough for me Deng Qing to remember for a lifetime. ”
Chen Shu nodded slowly, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Deng, please don't call me Engong anymore, you are older than me, I should call you big brother." ”
I secretly sighed in my heart, I didn't expect that I could meet such a person who remembers gratitude and does not hold grudges, although this person is ugly, but he has the style of a gentleman, which is really rare. Among the scholars in this world, there may be such characters, but in their own time, they basically can't find such people.
Deng Qing didn't even dare to say it, Chen Shu saw that he insisted on doing so, so he didn't say more, but he had more respect in his heart.
The two walked into the tea shed, only to see the old man He leaning on a bamboo chair, and Miss He kneeling in front of her, crying. The owner of the tea shed, a middle-aged man in his forties, was standing next to him with an impatient face, and when he saw Deng Qing coming in, he shouted: "You ugly man, if you don't get this smelly old man out, I'm going to call someone to throw it away!"
Deng Qinglian claimed that it was, Chen Shu took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, threw it over, and said, "Boss, wash this old man, find clean clothes to change into, and get them some food to eat." ”
When the boss saw that he was rich, he immediately smiled, and even claimed that it was. Deng Qing went to help him bathe the crazy old man, Miss He cried for a while, walked up to Chen Shu, bowed down, and said, "The little woman knocks on the great virtue of Engong." ”
