After turning several twists and turns of the corridor, Xu Hao saw that it was a row of five pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings, facing the water on both sides, leaning on the rockery on one side, and the inscription was "Spring Yin Xiaoxie".

The peony outside the pavilion is in full bloom, the green shade is low, and the small stone bridge with a red column is walked on, that is, to the pavilion, which is where Zhu Boqing usually reads. The pavilion is quite elegant, and the inner room is separated by a Nanmu floor cover, leaning against the wall and a couch, and the pillow is gorgeous.

Zhu Boqing let everyone sit down, and the little slave Shuangfu who was waiting brought tea.

Hui'er said fearfully: "I'm only determined in my heart at this time, and I still feel a little abrupt." Those people made a fuss when they entered the door, and they didn't come for no reason, and they will understand if they inquire slowly. Thinking that people like us are extremely tasteless, and they flatter people with a low voice, and everyone will be bullied if they are a little bit. When you go out, whenever you meet a daughter from a good family, you don't dare to look at it. ”

Crying as she spoke, Nie Li'er beside her mentioned that her heart touched the scene, and when she thought of the situation of the right talent, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Zhu Boqing and Jiang Dengyun sighed on the side, and Boqing said sadly: "Your words are heartfelt, I see that those people are tireless, and they think that there are countless people who are proud, and I want him to have another liver and sausage." What's more, how many talented people in ancient and modern times have also fallen into the dust, as long as they get out of the mud and are not stained, they will have a good ending the day after tomorrow. The two girls nodded yes and wiped their tears.

Xu Hao was indifferent on the side, it is true that the mother and daughter of the Nie family were helpless, and they could not make a living when they moved from Yangzhou, so they had to choose to be prostitutes. But don't look at the Nie family is very miserable, in fact, the family has some savings, it is not difficult to buy a few acres of land or do a small business, and the most unfortunate thing is to survive by sewing and mending coarse tea and light rice. When the sisters came, they were already at an age when they were about to leave the cabinet, and they were talented and good-looking, but they were afraid that they would not be able to find their in-laws?

To put it bluntly, he is still used to living a rich life, and he has become a small family and can only marry the common people who are right, so he is unwilling to choose to sell his art. First, they can continue to maintain a luxurious life, and second, it is easy to find rich and powerful rich sons, who think that being a concubine is better than the wives of the common people's families.

Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, Xu Hao doesn't think it's wrong to do this, but the road is your own choice, so if you encounter something sad, you have to knock out your teeth and swallow blood, and you have to be respected for making all the money you can laugh at. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Nie Hui'er suddenly got up and asked Zhu Boqing, "We should go to see Madame." I'm sorry for you to guide. ”

Zhu Boqing said: "That's not necessary, I'll say it on your behalf." ”

Nie Hui'er said: "What words, etiquette is indispensable. Jiang Dengyun helped echo and said, "It's true." ”

Zhu Boqing had a clear conscience and no longer shirked, and asked Shuangfu to add two extra colors to today's regular dishes: fried duck and stewed anchovies; Add a sample of mushroom and bamboo shoot silk vegetarian soup. Open a jar of good old wine. It's on this pavilion.

Xu Hao looked at Zhu Boqing and led the two to meet his mother, Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang was sitting in front of the window talking and laughing with Zhu Luozhu and Jiang Yaojun, and looked up to see her son coming in, followed by two beauties. The face is radiant, clear and hibiscus.

The sisters of the Nie family stepped forward to knock on the scene, Mrs. Fang supported her with her hand, and asked the reason, Zhu Boqing told the story of the before and after, and Mrs. Fang sighed: "There are famous flowers in the world, you should know and cherish them." This generation is a bad scenery, which shows that it is vulgar and not enough to care. There are a lot of houses in my house, so I will stay at home for a few more days, and outsiders will not dare to help you. ”

Jiang Yaojun had heard of their names, and the elegance of men outside, women in this era had long been accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "Rest in my room at night, let's talk together, it's not lonely." ”

The two sisters thanked each other and said in unison: "Mrs. Meng is wrong in love, she does not despise cheap qualities, Miss Meng Xu listens to the teachings, and she is very lucky." ”

Mrs. Fang was particularly happy when she heard their elegant words, and when she remembered something, she said with a straight face: "Then Gongzi Xu is outside?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Boqing replied.

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "You kid is really confused, how can you not invite Gongzi Xu in?" No, I should have worshiped him. ”

The Nie sisters were stunned, and Zhu Boqing smiled disappreliantly: "Mother, what is the identity of Brother Xu?" Brother Xue Wen said a few times, he doesn't want to work everywhere, if you go out to worship him, keep it and don't interact with me in the future, just get along with ordinary friends. ”

"I see." Mrs. Fang smiled, "In the end, it is the behavior of a nobleman, frank and unconventional, then forget it." ”

When she came out, Nie Hui'er couldn't help but ask, "Who is Gongzi Xu?" ”

Zhu Boqing said: "I'm afraid to scare you when I say it, Brother Xu is the Jinling Xu Hao who assisted the current enthronement." ”

"Ahh Nie Hui'er immediately exclaimed, whenever the guests talked about major events in the world, how many did not talk about Xu Hao's life deeds? The young man is proud, he can be literary and martial arts, he is in a high position and powerful, and he has a brilliant friendship with the emperor and so on.

Nie Hui'er was surprised and delighted and glanced at her sister who was also surprised, and regretted that she had treated him slowly these days, and when she came back with a worried and longing mood, she found that Xu Hao had said goodbye without saying goodbye, and she was immediately disappointed.

When he looked at Zhu Boqing and Jiang Dengyun again, he didn't know why he didn't have his previous good feelings, especially when he learned that the two were about to get engaged soon, and it would be impossible to take a concubine in a short time, not to mention that he was still out of the dust, and gradually extinguished his previous desire, and got along casually as a confidant and friend, but inadvertently won the appreciation of the two young people more and more.

Just said that Song Erniang of the Nie family walked out, and saw that the tables and chairs were scattered, and the people came to scold like thunder. stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, gentlemen, the girl is really not at home today, and she has already sent someone to pick it up, please stay for a while." If you hide in the house and don't see anyone, why bother? Isn't it painful to break so many things? Even if you see them, you can't swallow them. The uncle is a reasonable person, but he knows that the slave family's words are not deceiving. ”

In the process of distinguishing, one of them was a tall and extremely ugly-looking rough man with open eyes and said: "Let go of your mother's fart, I saw three people walk in with my own eyes, isn't it your lonely old man?" Those three people are gorgeously dressed, and they are young, and you are scolding them to be blind to us? Dare to prevaricate with these clever words. ”

Before the words fell, the big man gave Erniang a slap, and Song Erniang was unstable and almost fell to the ground. Unconsciously blushed and said, "What are these words?" The girl is not at home, and she can't change it, and the master will beat and scold me if he breaks something. It's a serious person anyway, what kind of words do you look like, I've never seen anything like this. ”

The two sides went back and forth, arguing with each other, and tearing their faces after the most sneering, Song Erniang sneered and turned around to leave, not wanting the big man to rush forward. knocked Erniang over with one punch. Keep punching and kicking.

Erniang was beaten and rolled on the ground, shouting for help! was so frightened that the maid and turtle slave persuaded him, and he didn't help him, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more. I'm afraid that I'll be implicated.

The visitor ran to the children's room again. I simply smashed all the furniture and furnishings. came out and pointed to Erniang, who had a blue skin and a swollen face, and said: "You old beggar will spill, this matter is not over, Lao Tzu will not let go of your turtle family." Let's go. ”

Erniang was helped up and beat her chest, crying and scolding, and suddenly someone laughed: "Which turtle dares to play bastard here?" ”

The big man looked outside, but when he saw a few young people coming in, he immediately sneered: "Dare to come to the good match, it just so happens that Lao Tzu hasn't fought enough." ”

At that moment, the two sides directly handed over their hands, and Dahan and the others never expected that these young men who were not good-looking were extremely fast, ruthless and ruthless, without the slightest showmanship, and their actions would cost their lives.

With a click, the big man broke one of his arms, and was kicked in the temple in the scream, and immediately fell to the ground unconscious, and the others were also removed from their arms one after another, and fell to the ground convulsions.

The person who came was Mu Ang, and the people who did it were all battle-hardened generals of Mu Mansion, and they came to fight on the orders of their brother-in-law.

Mu Ang sneered: "What the hell, trample on all their limbs and throw them out." ”

With Xu Hao's support, Mu Ang naturally acted without taboos, and at the moment, he stepped on the arms and thighs of several people, lifted them out and threw them on the street, and the bluffing people gathered.

Song Erniang came out in surprise, and saw that the matter was not over, and a group of officers and soldiers later, beat the four seriously injured guys half to death, and carried them to the ox cart and pulled them away.

When I returned to the inner house to see the Wang family, I felt confused when I talked about it, and I couldn't think of anyone I knew who was so righteous?

Song Erniang sighed: "It's not me who said, your two daughters have really strange temperaments, and guests who don't like it seem to be ascending to heaven if they want to talk to them." The big girl has always been cold and unbearable; The second girl had thin lips and said a few mean words, often telling the guests not to get off the stage, which inevitably offended people secretly. In the past, it was all up to me to please me perfunctorily, thinking that there could be a few people like Young Master Zhu in the world? Willing to spend money and follow their young lady's temper?

I saw with my own eyes that her sister was sometimes unhappy, and countless nails were touched by Young Master Zhu, and Young Master Zhu smiled and laughed to make them happy. Young Master Jiang is the same, only that Young Master Xu doesn't eat this set, and probably people are not rare, and they never coax their sisters.

Think about it, is it rare for this kind of rich and powerful noble son to compliment them? So she spoiled her sister's temper, thinking that all people in the world were like this. ”

Wang nodded and said: "The second grandmother is right, thanks to the two sons' spending money during this time, the most difficult thing is not to even say a word to the girl, such a temper is worth entrusting." It's better to simply give Hui'er to Young Master Jiang, and Li'er also gave Young Master Zhu, you and I can be relied on in the second half of the life, they are not merciful people. ”

Erniang shook her head and said: "It will not succeed for the time being, but it can be known that the two of them have not yet married, and they are people who are well-read and reasonable, and they will never accept concubines first, anyway, I see that the two sisters of your family are their people, so I won't mention it at this time." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw two people dressed up, an old man and a young man walked in proudly and asked, "Is this the Nie family?" ”

The Wang family answered, and the old man said, "Are you the Nie Wang family?" Is this the Song family? ”

Song Erniang saw the strange question, and hurriedly got up and sat down: "What do you have to say?" ”

The old man said, "My name is Liu Liang. Pointing to the young man, he said, "His name is Zhou Ming." The two of us are sent to Shangyuan County, and we can't be alarmed if we have nothing to do, there is a business here, just take a look at it. ”

After speaking, the old man took out a piece of paper in the sock tube and handed it to Song Erniang.

"Specially awarded the main hall of Shangyuan County, Hangzhou Prefecture. On the ninth day of the first month of this month, Wensheng Chai Shitu, Bao Youli, Wentong Wen Nanjin, and Minren Wang Yi were called; "Sheng and others to live in Tao Shidu place, suddenly moved to Nie Wang's mother and daughter three years ago, originally from Yangzhou, bought the people Wang Yi's house to live, and Sheng and others are close to the neighbors, and claimed to come here. Within a few months, he invited the composer to teach the second daughter of Yi to play and sing, and made the famous female stick Song Lian as a confidant to seduce tourists;

And there are local shameless gentlemen, who come and go from time to time as backrests. Sheng, etc., knew the weathering, that is, Wang Yi resigned from the room, and asked Yi to move to another place. And Nie Wang's and the others violated the yang and yin, and they couldn't go away. Recently, he has been even more unscrupulous, and even drank pheasant Hulu all night.

Stealing fire is dangerous, and thousands of people see it. Life and other difficulties sit idly by, and worry about the delay of disasters, but ask Wang Yi to be the guide of the past, hoping that he will regret and be able to stop. The Nie Wang clan and others were angry and eventful, and they were insulted extravagantly, and after a little argument, they drank and ordered dozens of domestic slaves to be beaten on the ground, and they were slandered for no reason, and they were released as bystanders and persuasions. Dare to run rampant in the great city of Fusi, but its intention is nothing more than to rely on; I don't know that there is no way to lure my children, and there is no way to beat Sven.

If it is not strictly investigated, the future behavior will not be the dare to propose. For this reason, it is necessary to send the two daughters of the Nie Wang family, the Song family, and the Nie family to the case together, and the case will be re-handled, so that there is no need for the slightest favoritism, so that it is not convenient to do it. Year, month and day, the county line. ”

After reading it, Wang's face was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he trembled, but fortunately, Song Erniang was well-informed, walked into the house and took out two plum blossom paper bags, handed them to the messenger and said, "Please also accept and buy a glass of wine to eat." As the saying goes, there are thousands of differences, and the people who come are not bad, as for the merits of this matter, there is a public opinion, in short, it cannot be avoided. I just ask the two uncles to wait for a day, and let us take care of the family affairs a little, and the two sisters are also important witnesses in the case, and they were called by Lord Zhu today, and they have to be brought back to the trial together. It's ridiculous that none of the plaintiffs know it, it's the owner of the house, Wang Yi, who hasn't even been to the soul once, where does this kind of invisible thing start? ”

The two messengers saw that Erniang knew the rules very well, and her words were bright, worthy of being a celebrity in Hangzhou, and they turned the wallet upside down, about ten taels, and they were quite happy.

Liu Liang slapped the fan on the table and said, "Grandma Song, I see that you are an understanding person, since you look up to us, there is something I have to tell you, do you know that this incident is really this case that someone sued you?" You said you didn't even recognize it, and I knew you didn't, hehe! ”

Zhou Ming tilted his head sideways and said, "Daddy Liu, don't say it, don't say it, I don't care if something goes wrong." ”

Liu Liang said with a smile: "Brother, Grandma Song is a sensible person, if we sell goods, we will sell them to acquaintances." ”

Song Erniang hurriedly opened a banquet, Liu Liang said while eating the meal: "I don't know how you offended Liu Yushi in the inner city, I saw the adults talking yesterday, and this morning I called our brothers to be named and gifted, and immediately approved it, and ordered the hall sign, do you say it's fast?" ”

Wang said inexplicably: "Which Liu Yushi has never seen this adult, so where can the grievances begin?" ”

Liu Liang said: "Then I don't know, anyway, the plaintiff is too hard, you'd better ask the girl if she has offended anyone?" Hurry up and go to the county government to find a way to do it, and then go to Liu's mansion to apologize in person, thinking that he will not be too embarrassed by the imperial history, and he will probably sleep with him for a few days. Even if Liu Yushi doesn't accept it, apologize and ease things up, and let the limelight go to other places, our brothers won't eat your food in vain. ”

Song Erniang listened to the kindness, thanked her, sealed another twenty taels of silver, and sent someone to send her. Wang paused and said, "Why did you offend Liu Yushi?" Hurry up and send someone to Zhujia to ask for clarification, these two unconscious children! (To be continued......)
