Chapter 38 Encountering a beautiful woman
Lin Yuanqing had to admit that since Yun Menghan had it, the speed was much faster, not only did he have free horses and carriages to sit on, but Yun Menghan seemed to be a living map, he seemed to have been everywhere, he knew a lot of paths, and under his planning, it didn't take long to arrive in Qingshan County, which was only five hundred miles away from Hangzhou.
Although Qingshan County is not big, it is close to the mountains and mountains in the north, the ruler trees are inch-inch, and the canals are in the south.
Ye Yuanqing came to Qingshan County for the first time, and saw the eight streets and nine Mo in the county, the shouts of roadside vendors one after another, the endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and the Jiangnan women with leisurely expressions, peach cheeks and smiles, and beautiful eyes, were instantly captured by the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in front of them, coupled with Yun Menghan's explanation, he immediately decided to get off the horse and walk in.
Lin Yuanqing was also looking around with all kinds of curiosity, the three of them walked slowly, Ye Yuanqing suddenly stopped, Lin Yuanqing, who was following closely behind him, accidentally bumped into his back, saw Ye Yuanqing looking ahead blankly, and muttered: "This woman should only be in the sky!" So he looked at Ye Yuanqing's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned.
A tall woman in a pale green robe, her skin is better than snow, her cheeks are red, her eyes are bright like a pool of clear water, her hair is shoulder-length, and she is holding a small white paper umbrella on her shoulder.
Yun Menghan saw the two stunned young men in front of him, and then looked at the woman, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and went up and patted Lin Yuanqing on the shoulder.
Lin Yuanqing reacted when he was photographed, and quickly blushed and lowered his head, thinking hard about Chu Wan in his mind, and secretly scolding himself in his heart for being damned, why did he look at other women so blatantly outside after such a short period of time.
Yun Menghan whispered beside Ye Yuanqing: "Childe, don't look at it." ”
Ye Yuanqing also came back to his senses, coughed twice, and said quietly: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good." ”
Yun Menghan smiled with a knowing smile and said, "This is easy to do, I have a plan to help my son, I wonder if my son is willing to give it a try?"
Ye Yuanqing asked with a look of disbelief in you, "What are the conditions?"
"Why does Childe think of me like this? I grew up watching you, Childe. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just because you watched me grow up, say, what conditions?"
"Haha, it's actually not a big deal, as long as Childe is willing to visit the two seniors with me. ”
"Martial arts people?"
"Well, one is Zhou Kongqi, the current head of the Taohuawu Zhou family, and the other is Wan Yu, the head of the Tianshan faction. ”
"Hmph, I knew it wasn't that simple, I said that I was going to come with my brother Lin at that time, and you agreed in one bite, and it was really unprofitable. Ye Yuanqing said with a disgusted face, then leaned his ear over and whispered, "Let's talk about it first." ”
After Yun Menghan whispered a few words in his ear, Ye Yuanqing suddenly smiled, and hurriedly turned his head to Lin Yuanqing and said, "Brother Lin, why don't we rest here for a day today and set off tomorrow morning?" I heard that the night market in Qingshan County is also extremely prosperous, you can experience it." ”
"But... ”
"Okay, since you agreed, let's go find the inn now. Ye Yuanqing said loudly, then grabbed Lin Yuanqing's neck and walked forward, and swaggered the money bag that Yun Menghan gave him into his arms.
As soon as Ye Yuanqing turned around, someone crashed into his arms, and before he could see the person clearly, a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, and he looked at it and saw that it was the woman who picked on rouge.
The woman hurriedly whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Childe, I was followed by bad guys, can you send me back?" After speaking, she pointed behind her, only to see two strong men looking at her not far away.
Ye Yuanqing was so happy that the snot bubbles were about to bubble up at this time, the hero saved the beauty, his teacher Yun Menghan's martial arts were not blown out, not to mention two strong men, even twenty of them could be solved, although he was ecstatic in his heart, but the reserve of the scholar made him say with a serious face: "Ahem, girl, please rest assured, my housekeeper will solve this matter." As soon as he turned his head, he found that Yun Menghan behind him didn't know when he was gone, and even the horses with the three of them were gone, so he immediately panicked, but after thinking about it, Lin Yuanqing's martial arts were not weak, and it should be more than enough to deal with those two strong men, he grabbed Lin Yuanqing's shoulders tightly and whispered: "Brother Lin, you should be okay with those two people, right?"
Lin Yuanqing looked at the two strong men, nodded, and said, "It should be okay." "I'm going to go up to the two men.
The woman hurriedly stopped: "Childe, this is a busy city, if there is a fight, it may attract officers and soldiers, and it may not be clear when the time comes, let's go first." ”
Ye Yuanqing nodded yes, so the three of them turned into the small alley next to them, there was no space in Qingshan County, the alleys were congested, every intersection was extensive, extremely tortuous, the woman took the two of them for a long time, and came to a dead end, surrounded by towering walls, the woman pushed open the door of a courtyard after speaking, and led the two of them in, and the weeds inside were nearly more than one person high.
Ye Yuanqing looked at it and asked suspiciously, "Girl, you live here?"
"yes. The woman clapped her hands, the courtyard door was slammed shut, and four sturdy men rushed out of the house.
Ye Yuanqing was the second monk at this time, and he was confused, and asked, "Girl, these are your family?"
Lin Yuanqing rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, don't you understand? ”
"Uh, robbery... Ye Yuanqing chattered twice, and suddenly shouted: "Ah?!robbery?!" hurriedly hid behind Lin Yuanqing and said: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, dare to rob so blatantly, is there still a king's law? And you, such a beautiful woman, how can you do such a thing?!"
"We're just robbing money, hand over the money and you're gone. The woman rolled her eyes.
"But... ”
"Shut up! Rip out your tongue with more bullshit. The woman said viciously to Ye Yuanqing.
Ye Yuanqing covered his mouth and looked at the woman nervously.
Seeing him like this, the woman couldn't help laughing, her teeth and red lips, her voice was like a silver bell, and Ye Yuanqing was stunned for a while.
Lin Yuanqing helplessly looked at the eldest brother who looked like a nymphomaniac behind him, pulled out his knife and said, "Everyone, my eldest brother and I are just passing by here, and we don't have much money on us, and I hope you don't feel embarrassed." ”
"I don't believe it, I just saw this nerd put a money bag in his arms, hand it over quickly. The woman said.
"Oh, this bag, here you go. Ye Yuanqing took out the money bag in his arms and threw it to the woman, Lin Yuanqing didn't expect him to give the money bag to others without saying a word, and he kept shaking his head with his hands.
The woman took the bag and smiled, weighed it, and couldn't help but change her face greatly, only to find that the money bag was full of stones, and shouted: "Dare to play me?!"
"No, isn't this money bag from the girl?" Ye Yuanqing said with his hands spread out and made an innocent appearance.
"Call me!" The woman didn't talk nonsense, and the four strong men behind her rushed up with sticks, and Lin Yuanqing was also ready to meet the enemy.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and in came two strong men who had seen in the market before, and when the woman saw them come in, she hurriedly said, "Why did you go? Why did you come back so slowly? These two boys dare to play tricks on me and beat me." ”
The two men didn't move, they had something to say, but they kept their mouths shut, and lowered their heads as if they had done something wrong. ”
Suddenly, Yun Menghan's voice came from behind the two: "The girl doesn't need to ask them, just ask me directly." After saying that, he walked in from behind the two of them and walked in leisurely with a fan.
And the four strong men had rushed in front of Lin Yuanqing, raising their sticks and falling on top of Lin Yuanqing's head.
Lin Yuanqing hurriedly raised his knife and waved, and the four wooden sticks were cut into two pieces at the same time, and then raised his foot and kicked the four people in the chest, and the four of them let out a miserable scream at the same time, and flew backwards and flew out.
The woman looked at Lin Yuanqing in surprise, and Yun Menghan also walked in front of her at this time, and said: "Does the girl want to rob money or rob sex? rob money, we don't have it, what about robbing sex, you see that our son is twenty years old, although he is not a first-class appearance, but he also has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is not married yet." ”
Ye Yuanqing, who was not far away, blushed and hurriedly said, "Teacher Yun, pay attention to your words! How can a scholar be so frivolous!"
The woman was angry at this time, and slapped Yun Menghan's face, and was pointed at by Yun Menghan's acupoint and couldn't move.
At this time, Ye Yuanqing walked out slowly, and Yun Menghan said to him with a smile: "Childe, I am willing to lose the bet." ”
"Got it, that's a lot to talk about. Ye Yuanqing waved his hand impatiently.
Lin Yuanqing looked at the two of them puzzled, Yun Menghan noticed his expression, and explained with a smile: "Hehe, I made a bet with Gongzi, saying that if this girl is a woman from a good family, I will go back to Chang'an, and I will no longer arrange for anyone to follow Gongzi, but if not, then Gongzi's future itinerary will have to listen to me." ”
Lin Yuanqing asked in surprise, "How did Senior Yun know that this girl was plotting against her?"
"It's very simple, just now you just looked at her appearance, but you didn't notice that her eyes were wandering around, especially the rich people passing by, and she often made eye contact with these two. After speaking, he pointed to the two Chinese characters standing at the door.
"So the seniors went to look for them just now, so the eldest brother also pretended to be just now?" Lin Yuanqing suddenly realized.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you in the future. Ye Yuanqing said angrily: "I don't want to believe that such a beautiful girl is doing such a thing, there must be something unspeakable." ”
Yun Menghan smiled and didn't speak, unlocked the woman's acupoint, and said to her: "Qingben Beauty, why be a thief, wait and send you to the official mansion." ”
The woman knelt down in front of Ye Yuanqing with a puff, her lips trembled, and her face turned pale and said: "Please let Gongzi let us go, we don't want to do these things, it's just that we are all people from poor backgrounds, these people are my elder brothers and younger brothers, and our parents are seriously ill, and we urgently need money to treat them, please have mercy on us." After speaking, he wiped the tears that fell down with his face slightly.
Ye Yuanqing hurriedly leaned over and helped the woman up, and said with concern: "The girl doesn't have to be like this, my housekeeper is just talking nonsense, how much does the girl need?"
"It's probably more than a hundred taels. The woman's eyes were slightly red, and she choked with tears in her eyes and said,
"Teacher Yun, take five hundred taels. Ye Yuanqing looked at the woman's crying pear blossom with rain in a daze, and stretched out his hand to Yun Menghan.
"Alas, Childe, calm down!" Yun Menghan said with a frown, and then said to the woman: "Girl, I know a little about medical skills, and the money on my body is enough to catch medicine, why don't you take me to your house to show the second elder?"
"Well, my parents are easily infected with the disease, so I don't have to work hard Mr. Lao, we will ask the doctor to come and see it. The woman said.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, our son often says that helping others is the foundation of happiness, isn't it. ”
"Yes, yes, girl, Mr. Yun is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and martial arts, but also has a deep knowledge of medical skills, so you can let him go back with you to have a look. Ye Yuanqing said enthusiastically.
"I really don't need to, I'm very grateful that Childe can give me money, and the money will be borrowed by me, and he will pay it back in the future. ”
"Hehe, I still don't want to tell the truth. Yun Menghan turned around, picked up a stone, and hit a man standing at the door on the shoulder, only to hear the man sit on the ground and roll uncontrollably, letting out a heart-rending scream, and the other man next to him looked at Yun Menghan in fear, and his legs couldn't help shaking.
The woman was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly ran over and knelt down beside the man, only to see that his face was already pale with pain, and he was slumping softly as if his arm had been broken.
Yun Menghan picked up another stone and said leisurely: "Six people, let's scrap six arms first, and then it's not too late to send you to the official mansion." ”
Ye Yuanqing hurriedly shouted, but was stopped by Lin Yuanqing, who gave him a look and shook his head, but Ye Yuanqing ignored it, and hurriedly rushed up to grab Yun Menghan's arm and shouted: "Teacher Yun, why are you so ruthless?!"
"Childe, they were disrespectful to you first, and they have been lying to you, I just maintained the authority of the Ye family. ”
"Authority, authority! Is the authority of opening and closing your mouth all day really more important than human life?" Ye Yuanqing shouted.
"Nature is more important than human life. Yun Menghan suddenly straightened up.
"If authority needs to be defended by hurting people or even killing people, then I would rather not have such authority!" Ye Yuanqing roared hysterically.
Yun Menghan didn't speak, he stretched out his hand to another man, Ye Yuanqing hurriedly rushed over, stretched out his arms to block him.
"Childe, please get out of the way. Yun Menghan accentuated his tone.
"No!" Ye Yuanqing stubbornly stretched his neck and shouted at him.
"Childe!" Yun Menghan's tone became cold.
Lin Yuanqing silently walked to Ye Yuanqing's side, did not speak, just put the sword across his chest, Ye Yuanqing glanced at him gratefully, turned his head and stared at Yun Menghan defiantly.
"Brother Lin, think clearly about your position. Yun Menghan's voice said without a trace of emotion, and his eyes were shining.
"Senior Yun, please forgive me, I just think my eldest brother did the right thing, and I support him. Lin Yuanqing felt that Yun Menghan's body exuded a coercion, which was constantly increasing, making his heart beat faster, and the back of his neck began to sweat non-stop.
Yun Menghan stared at the two of them for a long time, then suddenly let go of his hand, the stone fell to the ground, and said, "Yun obeys the son's arrangement." With that, he opened the folding fan and walked past the two with his eyes closed.
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yuanqing didn't need to say much, although Yun Menghan usually treated Ye Yuanqing with respect, but after all, he grew up under the watch, he was also a teacher and a friend, and his father relied on him very much, if he really wanted to teach himself, he would really not even be able to use his father at that time.
Ye Yuanqing turned around and helped the woman up, and said to her: "Girl, I don't know what you have experienced, I just hope that you can tell me truthfully why you need so much money, if it is not for evil, I will be happy to help you." ”
The woman looked down at the man who fell to the ground, biting her lip, but just now she saw Ye Yuanqing personally blocking Yun Menghan for them, and she had a good impression of him in her heart. ”
Yun Meng next to him snorted coldly and said, "Still want to deceive people?"
Cui Lingsha said unmoved: "Now that Lingsha has been controlled by others, even if you lie to you, you will be asking for hardship." ”
Ye Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Yes, the teacher doesn't have to be aggressive, let's go over and take a look." ”
Cui Lingsha looked at the man on the ground again, and her face was sad: "This... ”
Lin Yuanqing squatted down and grabbed the man's arm and fiddled with it twice and said, "Don't worry, Senior Yun just dislocated his arm just now, I have already picked him up, and he will be cured in a few days of cultivation." ”
"Thank you, two sons, please come with me. Cui Lingsha was about to leave after speaking, and several men in the distance hurriedly shouted: "Lingsha, no." ”
"You are not the opponent of these sons, if they have any ideas, they don't have to spend a long time talking to us, so don't worry, you can rest here." Cui Lingsha said lightly, picked up a small basket from the grass behind the door, covered it with a piece of cloth, made a gesture of please, and led everyone to a house not far away.
Pushing open the door, several people saw children all over the yard, the youngest one or two years old, who seemed to have just learned to walk, and the eldest one was seven or eight years old, running around the yard and playing.
The children in the yard all gathered around when they saw Cui Lingsha coming in, and they all jumped up and shouted: "Sister Lingsha, you are here, have you brought us anything delicious?"
Cui Lingsha took off the cloth on the basket, it turned out that there were some pastries and toy puppets inside, the children cheered and ran to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard with the basket, lined up, and a big child was responsible for distributing it to everyone, and the scene looked orderly.
Cui Lingsha also looked at these children with a gentle smile, and at this time, two old women came out of the house, greeted them with a smile and said, "Lingsha, come to see the children again." ”
"Yes, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, these little guys have tired you. Cui Lingsha said with a smile.
"Oh, it's okay, they're obedient, ouch, there's a guest, please come in, please come in, you sit down first, we'll pour you tea." The two old women turned and went into the house.
Ye Yuanqing asked puzzledly: "Miss Cui, this is... ”
Cui Lingsha looked at the children and said with a smile: "These children are all orphans, and we took them in." ”
"Then you robbed us of our money for them?" Ye Yuanqing said with an incredulous expression.
"Well, I'm ashamed to say that I was originally a pianist on the painting boat, and my income was not high, and I had to raise so many children, and I had to hire some people to take care of them, so I couldn't make ends meet, so I made this decision. Cui Lingsha lowered her head and said.
"Well, Miss Cui is kind-hearted, I definitely want to help with this favor, Teacher Yun. Ye Yuanqing looked at Yun Menghan and snorted at the children in the yard.
"Childe, don't worry, Yun still has a question I want to ask Miss Cui to explain. Yun Menghan's face slowed down and said.
"Mr. Yun, but it doesn't hurt. Cui Lingsha said.
"Well, Miss Cui looks very young, and she can be a pianist in the painting boat, so she must have practiced the piano since she was a child. Speaking of this, Yun Menghan paused for a moment, then glanced at Ye Yuanqing and continued: "There are only two kinds of people who can practice the piano since childhood, one is the deep boudoir of a large family, and the other is a person who grew up in the Qinglou since childhood. ”
"Teacher Yun!" Ye Yuanqing said reproachfully.
"Ye Gongzi, it's okay, what Mr. Yun said is right, but Lingsha belongs to the former. ”
"Oh, since it's a big family, and the living expenses of a few children can still afford it, then I don't know why Miss Cui made this decision?" Yun Menghan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Cui Lingsha replied these words in a short way.
"yes, I see. Yun Menghan saw that when Cui Lingsha answered, his eyes involuntarily revealed a trace of sadness, and he already knew a little bit in his heart, and then took out a money bag and said to Ye Yuanqing: "Childe, here are one hundred taels of silver and nine hundred taels of silver tickets, which are all of our entanglement, you can watch it." ”
Ye Yuanqing's eyes never left Cui Lingsha since he sat down, and he casually pushed the money bag in front of Cui Lingsha and said, "Miss Cui, you take this money first, if it's not enough, I'll let Teacher Yun go to the money village to get some." ”
"Childe, think twice, this is all we have entangled. Yun Menghan leaned into Ye Yuanqing's ear and whispered.
"Oh, hehe, as long as Miss Cui is willing, I can do it. Ye Yuanqing smiled stupidly.
Cui Lingsha blushed and lowered her head when she heard this, Lin Yuanqing drank tea indifferently, and Yun Menghan covered her face helplessly and shook her head.
After the three of them came out of the courtyard, Ye Yuanqing muttered reluctantly: "Miss Cui is also a bitter life, but she is so beautiful and kind-hearted, she will definitely be safe and blessed in the future." ”
Lin Yuanqing and Yun Menghan followed him without saying a word, listening to him keep talking about Miss Cui's good, and after walking to the street, Ye Yuanqing touched his cooing stomach and said, "Oh, it's so late, Teacher Yun, Brother Lin, let's find a good restaurant to eat, and then sleep well, tomorrow I will buy some things for those children and send them over." After saying that, he laughed silly.
Yun Menghan pushed Lin Yuanqing up and hit Ye Yuanqing's body, he turned his head and asked, "Brother Lin, what's wrong?"
"Uh... No, not much. Lin Yuanqing didn't know what to say.
"Hey, then let's hurry up to dinner, and then go to bed early, and go to see Miss Cui tomorrow, hahaha." ”
"This... Eldest brother... We're out of money. Lin Yuanqing stumbled for a long time and said.
"What?!Didn't Mr. Yun bring more than a thousand taels with him? Not to mention going to Hangzhou, even if he lived in Hangzhou for a year, it was more than enough. Ye Yuanqing opened his mouth wide and said, "No... It won't be stolen, right?Teacher Yun, why are you so careless?!"
Lin Yuanqing looked back at Yun Menghan, who was rolling his eyes, turned his head and said, "Here's it... Actually... You gave all the money to Miss Cui. ”
"What?!" Ye Yuanqing shouted with wide eyes.
At night, Cui Lingsha heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard, and when she opened it, she saw Ye Yuanqing with an embarrassed face, as well as Lin Yuanqing with an indifferent face behind her and Yun Menghan with an expressionless face and closed her eyes to recuperate, Ye Yuanqing scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Miss Cui, can we borrow a night?"
