Chapter 144: A Chance Encounter
"Hey, Wang Dalang, why did you come here?" The maid beside Qiong'er had just opened the door and asked strangely when she saw Wang Ju and his party.
"Coincidence."
"Wait a minute," the maidservant hurriedly went in and shouted, "Lady, Wang Dalang is here." ”
Wang Ju is embarrassed.
Inside Qiong'er said a word, and the maidservant girl ran out again and said, "Lady, please come in and sit down." ”
"This doesn't have to be."
The maid was displeased, and said: "What if my lady is a trick, she is like a jade, she is a real pure person, even if everyone is beautiful, she may not be as good as my lady, and my lady is full of poetry and books, if it is not a woman, she can still be admitted to the Jinshi." ”
If you can still be admitted to the Jinshi, don't take it seriously, even if Wang Ju is now full of Confucian classics in his stomach, and he still has relatives in his heart before coming to the capital.
However, this sentence releases two messages, the first Qiong'er is indeed more decent, and the second Qiong'er has some talents.
Wang Ju sneered, and it was not good to refuse anymore, so he walked in.
Seeing Wang Ju coming in, the maid immediately became happy, changed her smiling face, and hurriedly served tea and took the fruit, Wang Ju was embarrassed again.
Qiong'er came out of it, wearing a white dress, which was even more amazing than the green dress that day, but she also learned the bad habits of the Song people, wearing a bun three or four inches high, but it was not too high, some women could wear a bun one or two feet high, if the head was not enough, they would mix it in it, and it was called Chaotian bun. Zhao Niannu also wore a bun a few times before, and Wang Ju vaguely expressed his dislike, so he didn't have a high bun. This made Wang Ju feel even more ashamed and uneasy, after all, this is for those who please themselves, but they are an emotion that is impossible to show and cannot have results.
Of course, Qiong'er didn't know, and the neckline of the skirt was a little big, so two small balls of crisp white were revealed.
Seeing several men staring at her chest, Qiong'er was a little flustered and immediately brought a piece of leno to tie it.
This is not pretending to be decent, since she wants to follow Wang Ju, it is too late, which means that her usual style is really okay.
After sitting down, Qiong'er looked at the little girl strangely: "Who is she?" ”
Wang Ju couldn't ask why, but there was a stupid way.
Brought the little girl back, continued to ask, and learned that the little girl's name was Jiaojiao, this information did not have much effect, and it could only be said that it could be used as evidence to confirm when the parents were found.
But I asked some more, the house is big, and there are some flowers and plants, indicating that there is a small garden, and there are a few people, then she will not be a child of a poor family, but she will not be a rich and noble family, even if it is expensive, it will not be too rich, otherwise it is impossible to have only a few servants.
There are also a few snack shops in front of her house, and there are many people around, so it is not on a commercial street, but it will be a residential area.
Another thing was confirmed, about the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she was separated from her father, and while she was crying, a woman came and said that she was taking her to her parents, and used some more fruit to abduct her. Moreover, this group of abductors was very vicious, and snatched away the silver bracelet under her hand, and when they saw that she was well dressed, they took off her clothes and found a set of old clothes for her to wear.
That day, the man took her out and probably wanted to sell it, but the little girl didn't know that there were many people on the street, so she stepped on the man's shoes, and the man scolded, and the little girl took the opportunity to escape, and then Wang Ju rushed over.
In the end, this piece of information is not big, it depends on what her parents think, and if you want to pursue it, you will report it to the police. But Wang Ju will not pursue it.
But the scattered location she said, that is, in the Royal Street, the whole capital only the Royal Street is the most unique, first it is very wide, up to 200 steps wide, only the corridor on both sides is as wide as 50 steps, the outside of the corridor street carries a lot of peaches, apricots, willows and plums, and also dug a canal on both sides, and the canal carries many lotus roots, in the middle this is the main street, but that does not let the people go.
Therefore, it is easy to confirm.
So Wang Ju took the little girl to the royal street, and then asked, how far is it from your house?
The little girl said that it was far away, and it was not very useful to walk for half an hour, and it would be far for her to walk for half an hour, and an hour was also far away, only to prove that it was not near the royal street.
Then he took her to Xiangguo Temple, asked her if she had been here, said she had been, and asked how far away, it was still very far, and then asked if it was far away from Yujie, saying that it was close to Xiangguo Temple.
Wang Ju brought the little girl to Xuande Gate, that is, the south gate of the imperial city, the two parts of the imperial city, the south side is called the imperial city, there are many important official offices of the Song Dynasty, such as the east and west mansions, and the north is the inner palace. Two arches stretched out from the south side of the imperial city, but between the two arches, there was a large square in front of the Xuande Gate.
Needless to say, the little girl must have been here, and then ask how far it is compared to Xiangguo Temple. She said Xuandemen was further away.
Then Wang Ju took the little girl to Fanlou again, and asked again, and it was far away from Xiangguo Temple, saying that it was about the same. Wang Ju asked the direction of the new Caomen in her house again, Wang Ju was afraid that the little girl would not be able to figure it out, so he asked with sunrise and sunset, and the question came out, the new Caomen was in the east of her house. This can be roughly confirmed, in a residential area to the east of the Royal Street, and in the city, it is estimated that in front of the Xuande Gate, the most important street in the east and west of the capital, on both sides of Niuhang Street. Wang Ju found a donkey cart and took the little girl around the streets, this range will not be very large, and it will be found in two days at most. So he turned around seven times and eight times, turned to Xiliu Lane, and saw the maid open the door.
"Wang Dalang is a kind-hearted person." Qiong'er said after listening. The girl behaves very well, which has nothing to do with precociousness, but is the result of the circumstances of her life, and she must meet people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when she sees ghosts.
"I don't dare to be a good person, but I'm not a bad person, I always have to do it when I encounter it."
"That day, the slave family Meng Lang was gone."
"It doesn't matter, even the dignitaries and nobles are on the list to catch their sons-in-law, not to mention Lady Qiong. It's just that I haven't reached the crown yet, my younger brothers and sisters are younger, and I don't want to get married for the time being, even if I am the wife of the Li family, I will not get married until two years later, and I can only live up to the good intentions of Qiong Niangzi. Wang Ju said seriously. It doesn't matter what you learn, but if you have a decent style, you can't dismiss it anymore.
"It's just that I don't quite understand how Lady Qiong's appearance and talent took a fancy to me?"
"That day, the slave family listened to Zhang Huiyuan and Cai Sanlang's discussion, and the slave family heard them talk about your deeds of raising your younger brothers and sisters, you must be a person who values love and righteousness, and is versatile and wise, so she was delusional." Qiong Niang said resentfully.
I made myself amorous.
"I see...... In fact, there are not too many good men in the world, and Lady Qiong does not have to be a wife. ”
"Wang Dalang, have you read "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu"?"
Wang Ju nodded, it is a Tang Dynasty novel, it is said that the great poet Li Yi of the Tang Dynasty entered the Chang'an imperial examination, and fell in love with the famous prostitute Huo Xiaoyu at first sight.
"There may be good men in the world, but there may not be many good men who value love and righteousness, even if the slave family is wronged and seeks to find a poor family to marry, and the slave family still has a little property, it can also support the husband to live a peaceful life, but can it ensure that the husband will not live up to the slave family after he becomes better?"
Wang Ju was silent.
For example, Su Dongpo's concubine.
Of course, there are also good endings, such as Fan Zhongyan's still alive Mrs. Ru, but that is less in the end. Or Cai Qu's little concubine Pipa in the future, but Cai Qu was a bad old man at that time, the old husband and the young concubine, and went to the "bad land" in Xinzhou with Cai Qu, Cai Qu naturally cherished it. Change Qiongniang, is Qiongniang willing?
Wang Ju came to the Song Dynasty and felt fair.
But the women of the Song Dynasty were very unfair, maybe better than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was an era of male superiority and inferiority of women.
However, Wang Ju still didn't say anything, even if he reached the step of seeing Long Zaitian, he could also be regarded as young and ambitious, thanks to the mother who had never seen him, he was born with a good skin, and there will be more women who are attracted to him in the future, including all kinds of prostitutes, can they all be pulled home? How many concubines do you have to pull back?
Therefore, he said: "I believe that Qiong Niangzi will be rewarded, to believe in the future, to adhere to faith, just like I was in Wangjiazhai, I was so poor that I had to be a mule, I was only thirteen years old at that time, and finally survived." ”
Then she walked away in Qiongniang's disappointed eyes.
Li Wanyuan sighed, if it weren't for his little sister, he would have wanted to persuade Wang Ju to accept this Qiong Niangzi, but he was just a concubine, not a wife, why not.
"Are you relieved this time?" Wang Ju asked.
Li Wanyuan also sneered: "I didn't say anything, but you have to go back to Yanzhou after the list is released, so I will stay with you for a while." ”
This Qingqi person is not afraid, he is afraid of the eldest princess.
After turning around for a day, I haven't found it, but I got more confirmation, it's between Fanlou and Xincaomen, north of Mahang Street, not far from Mahang Street. This one is easy to find.
But Wang Ju looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back." ”
A donkey cart emerges from a poor area.
Erniu sighed: "It turns out that there are poor people in the capital." ”
"There are poor and rich everywhere, but they are all the same."
"Brother, I know, I can't forget my roots."
"That's right," but Wang Ju also said in his heart, it turns out that there are many poor people in Kaifeng. But this is also normal, don't talk about primitive society, slave society and feudal society, if there is no such system, where will the descendants come from, where will the thousands of years of civilization come from?
Being able to think like this also means that Wang Ju is further integrated into this era......
The next day, at this moment, they were stopped by a well-dressed young man with seven servants, some of whom still had clubs in their hands.
The young man asked, "Your Excellency is the king of Yanzhou?" ”
Wang Ju whispered to Li Wanyuan: "Be optimistic about them." ”
Then he greeted him and asked, "Exactly, may I ask ...... Your Excellency?" ”
He asked, but his other hand was quietly on the hilt of the sword, which was the Taoxi sword given by Zhao Niannu. Once Zhao Niannu asked, what about the sword I gave you.
It's a fuss, but anyway, it's a piece of my heart.
Fortunately, Wang Ju brought it to the capital, Zhao Niannu was happy, fortunately, he didn't give it away, and said, there are many people in the capital, and bringing it can protect your safety.
It's safe to take it with you? Could it be a magic weapon? But Zhao Niannu has another meaning......
Wang Ju had no choice but to wear it when he went out, but fortunately, although the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and martial arts, some ancient customs were still retained, such as Peiyu sword, not he alone wore a sword, many people wore swords, including scholars.
But Wang Ju didn't expect that maybe it would come in handy today......
