I hurriedly turned around and walked out of the incense hall, stood in the hall and looked outside, but saw a large group of officers and soldiers rushing into the house, and the leader was the head catcher of the state government. And this situation, I can't help but want to laugh even more bitterly at this fate, there is a lover who can't stay, it is the first sad thing in life.

And what can I do? Fighting with those officers and soldiers, did you just shelter Miss Su Yu and not let her go home? I know very well that if that happens, not only will I not be able to stop these officers and soldiers, but I will also be unable to protect Miss Su Yu, and I will eventually put my own life on the line. Once something happens to me, Miss Su Yu's reputation will be greatly damaged, and even I, who am under Jiuquan, will no longer be able to prove Miss Su Yu's innocence in front of the world.

Weighing the pros and cons, I resisted the impulse in my heart, just walked out of the hall slowly, and said to the head catcher who was the leader: "Fang Mou is not talented, I don't know where he is not in accordance with the law and discipline, I want to let all the officers and soldiers, the head catcher and the master of the head hunt move the crowd to round up?" ”

"Fang Zihao, you don't talk nonsense! Hand over the daughter of Lord Zhizhou immediately, otherwise you will be killed on the spot! ”

It was Liu Biao who was the head catcher who spoke, with a face full of horizontal flesh and a height of nine feet, and he overwhelmed me in terms of momentum alone. Not to mention holding a sword in his hand, after saying that, Liu Biao, the head catcher, instantly pulled out a big knife and forced me step by step, and the officers and soldiers behind him also rushed to the surroundings in an instant, and in an instant, they had surrounded my small courtyard. But just when the big knife in Liu Biao's hand was about to hit my chest, he was cold, his face was shocked, as if he saw something, he couldn't help but tremble his arm, slowly withdrew the big knife, hugged his fists and said, "Miss!" ”

"Liu Biao, you are presumptuous!" At this moment, Miss Su Yu had already walked out behind me, as if Liu Biao had seen Miss Su Yu, so he had to restrain a lot. Miss Su Yu and Xiuqiao came to my side together, first looked at my whole body to make sure that I was not injured, then walked in front of me, blocked me behind me, and scolded Liu Biao angrily: "Liu Biao, today is the death day of Zihao's wife Zheng, and I have long regarded Zheng as my sister, so why not when I come to worship my sister?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Biao hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly clenched his fists again to explain: "Miss, this is all the master's order, be sure to let us take the lady back, the carriage has been prepared outside the gate, and please take the lady back to the house with us in the carriage." ”

Miss Su Yu snorted coldly and scolded again: "Since my father asked you to take me back, and didn't let you arrest me back, now look at your posture, do you want to kill me?!" Hearing Miss Su Yu's words, the officers and soldiers around him suddenly took a few steps back in fright, and their eyes fell on the head catcher Liu Biao, Liu Biao was so red that he didn't know what to say for a while.

But in the end, Liu Biao, the head catcher, solemnly hugged his fists again and said: "Miss, this is all the master's order, and we are also acting on orders, and I hope that the eldest lady will not be embarrassed." As for...... You all go out and wait, and you are not allowed to come in without my orders!" Halfway through speaking, Liu Biao, the head catcher, suddenly scolded the officers and soldiers around him, and the officers and soldiers got Liu Biao's instructions to turn around and run out one by one.

In this way, Liu Biao, the head catcher, said to Miss Su Yu again: "Miss, can you go home with the little one now?" ”

Miss Su Yu hesitated, turned her head and looked at me pitifully, I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say, saying that if I kept it, it would only make Miss Su Yu more embarrassed, but if I said congratulations, I was afraid that it would hurt Miss Su Yu's heart. Alas, the hardest thing is now...... After thinking about it, I still stubbornly said to Miss Su Yu: "Miss Su Yu, thank you for coming to worship Fang's deceased wife Zheng, now that you have finished worshipping, and your mansion has come to pick you up, you, you might as well ......"

"You're driving me away?"

But I heard Miss Su Yu ask with a slight choked up. Hearing this, I only felt that my heart was about to break, where do I want to drive you away, but I don't want you to embarrass you, let alone make your father and daughter turn against each other, I, I'm all for you...... It's a pity, I may not have a chance to say these words again, and in front of so many people, I can't say it, I just hope that Miss Su Yu can understand my Zihao's mind, then I will be satisfied.

Xiuqiao suddenly pointed at me angrily and scolded: "Okay, you Fang Zihao, my young lady did not hesitate to quarrel with the master in order to see you, and now you don't even have a word to save me, you are really not worthy of my young lady, you, you ...... I was so mistaken about you! Xiuqiao was so angry that her little face was red, and she couldn't wait to help Miss Su Yu to leave immediately, but Xiuqiao, Xiuqiao, you only care about relieving your anger, how can you not think about your young lady?

"Alas! Xiuqiao, don't talk about it, let's go. Miss Su Yu sighed and shook her head, and with Xiuqiao's support, she left the hall step by step, but in the courtyard, Miss Su Yu suddenly stopped, and said to me without looking back: "Three days will be my father's sixtieth birthday, if you have the heart to be good with me, don't miss the opportunity, otherwise I will not step into the threshold of your house again." ”

Xiuqiao followed and said to me: "Do you remember poor Xiucai?" Three days later, my lord's 60th birthday, if you dare to propose to my lord on his birthday, and in front of everyone, whether it is successful or not, it will not be in vain for my young lady's heart to you! With that, Xiuqiao shook her head like an adult to a child, and followed Miss Su Yu out of the yard. It wasn't until they walked out of the door that I came back to my senses, three days later...... 60th Birthday ......

At the same time as he was about to leave the yard, Liu Biao quietly sneered at me: "Poor Xiucai, you'd better not go, otherwise I will let you walk in and come out on your stomach." Besides, your family is poor like this, and my lord's birthday, the congratulatory gifts of the birthday people are all rare treasures, what do you take to celebrate your birthday? Don't be delusional, it's impossible for my young lady to marry you, so you'll die of this heart! ”

After sneering at me repeatedly, and adding threats, Liu Biao, the head catcher, turned around and left. I watched as the officers and men of the brigade escorted the carriage slowly out of the gate, and finally, sat weakly on the threshold. After a long time, he sighed deeply and said, "Miss Su Yu, as long as you want me to do this, even if I don't want to fight for my life, I will definitely go!" Three days from now, it will be the day I propose to your father! ”

After that, I stood up, walked into the incense hall, picked up the three pillars of incense and lit it, incense my deceased wife Zheng, and sighed deeply: "Xiaoqin, I will propose to Miss Su Yu in three days, I hope you don't blame me, and I hope you can like her and accept her......" In the incense hall, I stared at the spiritual position of my deceased wife Zheng for a long time, I don't know how long it has been, and I don't want to know how long it has been.

Within three days, I devoted myself to drawing a picture of my longevity at home, and packed up the things that were still worth some money at home, took them to the bazaar and exchanged them for some loose silver taels, and bought a few boxes of gifts. After being so prepared, I washed up and changed into a brand new green shirt, which was the only thing I could take out at home, and it was also purchased for me by saving money when Zheng was alive.

I have always been reluctant to wear it, hoping that one day when I go to Beijing to catch the exam, I can wear it to make a name for myself and compete for the lintel!

Three days later, in the evening, I left the house with a scroll and a few boxes of gifts in the other. I went straight to the Zhizhou Mansion, maybe because of the birthday of Lord Zhizhou, and the people in the city were also much more lively, setting off fireworks and artillery on the streets, but I didn't care much about those, but I was full of thoughts about what was going to happen tonight and what might happen.

In any case, I will provoke my marriage with Miss Su Yu to Miss Su Yu's father in front of everyone, and understand it with reason and affection, and if there are still some knowledgeable people present, it will not be difficult for Miss Su Yu and me to understand their respective intentions. Maybe Miss Su Yu's father reluctantly agreed at that time, no matter how bad it is, at most it will give me some problems, as long as I deal with it wittily, maybe I can pass the test.

Thinking like this, I only feel full of confidence, as if I have seen the day when Miss Su Yu and I were newly married, the husband and wife were affectionate and loved, and they stayed together. However, when I came to the governor's mansion, I saw that the door was overcrowded, and countless dignitaries and nobles competed to hand over congratulatory gifts and worship each other. As soon as I stepped forward, I found that the dignitaries and nobles around me ignored me as if they were beggars, but turned their faces and smiled and congratulated the waiting butler.

I smacked my lips and ignored me and went in on my own. However, as soon as I walked to the gate with a congratulatory gift, I was stopped by Liu Biao, the head catcher I met three days ago, who strode in front of me and asked coldly: "You poor and sour talent, I didn't expect you to really dare to come?" Isn't it begging for a beating?! As he spoke, I saw Liu Biao with a demonstrative expression, holding his fists and pinching his joints, his fingers clicking, but in my ears, I didn't move at all, and I still stood firmly at the gate.

It just so happened that the housekeeper on the side came over, and I hurriedly smiled at the housekeeper and said, "Butler, please preside over justice, this is the 60th birthday of Lord Zhizhou, as the people of the city, can't we go in to celebrate our birthday?" Do you have to be high-ranking officials and nobles to get in, and ordinary people can't get in? Hearing my words, Liu Biao's face turned pale with anger, but in the face of the housekeeper who walked slowly, Liu Biao still stood aside with interest.
