Daming Yinghua

Chapter 4
Xu Aliu limped over and said bitterly: "Brother, this man surnamed Niu came here to kill you and bully your brother!"

Qiu Wanliang ignored him, only changed into a calm tone, and said to the crowd indifferently: "It's all gone, go back to the nest and wait. I have a new woman today, and I will ask the kitchen to send wine to the brothers. .Everyone take a few mics and get a good night’s sleep.”

The gangsters applauded repeatedly in response to the occasion, and scattered like fish swimming and crabs crawling.

After the idlers retreated, Qiu Wanliang lowered his face and scolded Xu Aliu: "You dog, the brother introduced by Mrs. Cui, how dare you offend me like this? Go and kowtow to Niu Dangjia to admit your mistake."

Xu Aliu heard that the boss mentioned the names of people in the capital palace, so he knew that there was nothing he could do.

He followed Qiu Wanliang at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and was loyal. He had been through life and death for more than ten years, and now he was seeing the battle getting bigger and bigger, so he naturally counted on his elder brother to give him a good promotion.

Unexpectedly, just after the new year, the seat of the second head of the family was actually taken by this stinky boy in his early twenties.

This man surnamed Niu is good at martial arts and horseback riding, but Xu Aliu has no complaints because of his background.

Today, for no apparent reason, she was humiliated by him in public for being a poor girl who deserved to let her have a good time. Xu Aliu's complaints turned into resentment.

Just because he thought that Niu Chengzhong's backer was the Grand Duke who was in power in the palace after all, Xu Aliu was afraid of causing trouble to his elder brother, so he swallowed his anger forcefully, walked up to Niu Chengzhong, knelt down and kowtowed, then got up, Pointing to the two daughters Han and Zheng who were hiding in the shadow of the stable, he replied to Qiu Wanliang in a rough voice: "Brother, I have passed the interrogation. This bitch is the eldest lady of the Han family in Songjiang Prefecture, and her name is correct. Han Ximeng .”

Qiu Wanliang gave Niu Chengzhong face in his mouth, but he really felt sorry for Xu Aliu in his heart, and waved him to go back to his nest to rest.

Immediately, Qiu Wanliang walked up to Han Ximeng expressionlessly, stretched out his hand to pinch her soft and smooth chin, leaned towards her stinky mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Han, you will have a bridal chamber with me tonight. If you dare to seek death Regardless of whether you are dead or not, I will strip you naked, put you on a boat, and transport them to the bustling pier on the top of the city of Songjiang Mansion, and ask all the officials and people in Songjiang Mansion to come and see the beauty of the Han family. Let your Han family not be able to hold back the dignity of the ancestor's coffin."

Han Ximeng's ancestor was Han Qi, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After the Song family went south, the Han family did not decline. From Hangzhou to Songjiang, they were still rich families, and the women in the clan were also well-educated.Han Ximeng's parents died early, and her uncles and aunts treated her kindly. Apart from her knowledge, she also cultivated her quite assertive personality.Since the age of Jiji, Han Ximeng has often acted deviantly and disregarding the world, which is not the same as those ordinary daughters in wealthy households.

Therefore, even if there was a catastrophe this time, Han Ximeng still held his breath.

Only at this moment, she finally heard clearly that when the bandit boss didn't want to ask the Han family to extort money, but to tarnish her innocence, her disgust and panic surged, her eyes burst into tears immediately, and Qiu Wanliang restrained her From the mouth of a show, there was a sobbing sound.

Seeing this, Zheng Haizhu stepped forward resolutely, and knelt down at the feet of the bandit leader with a plop, earnest anxiety mixed with humility, and begged: "Your Majesty, I may not be able to do it tonight, my lady is in her lunar month."

Qiu Wanliang frowned, and let go of Han Ximeng instantly.

They are bandits, and they make a living by licking blood at the edge of a knife. It is very unlucky to mention the word "blood light", so they are also very taboo about women's menstruation.

Qiu Wanliang looked around and called for a woman who was mixing bean cakes for the horses.It was the daughter-in-law of an old bandit, and like other low-ranking women in the bandit's den, she cooked during the day and fed the horses at night.

"You, pull her into the shed and see if she has a little life on her body." Qiu Wanliang said solemnly.

The mother-in-law agreed, and holding a small oil lamp, pushed Han Ximeng into the stable.

Zheng Haizhu wanted to follow, but Niu Chengzhong, the second master, raised his whip and lightly blocked it.

"Did the master say to let you in?"

The tone is still indifferent, not threatening, nor provocative.

Zheng Haizhu stopped.This time, the man was only half a step away from her, and she smelled the faint mint fragrance from the man's body.

Soap?

After Zheng Haizhu traveled to Daming, he saw the high-quality soap in Jiangnan merchants. It was like the small green orange puer tea balls of later generations. It was spherical and had a mint or jasmine aroma.

Today, whether he was forced to "close contact" with Xu Aliu or passed by other gangsters, Zheng Haizhu could only smell the disgusting smell of sweat.And this second master, not only still wears a moon-white shirt with a collar in the scorching heat, but also uses high-quality soap?
Just now the bandit leader Qiu Wanliang mentioned the word "Mr. Cui" and said it to Xu Aliu under his breath. Of course Zheng Haizhu, who was separated by the second leader, couldn't hear it.

Zheng Haizhu became more and more curious about the second-in-command of the gang who helped him halfway and was outstanding in hygiene habits.

On the other side, the bandit leader Qiu Wanliang is taking over from the guards around him a new thing that has only been introduced to the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years - the copper hookah.

He took two puffs in his spare time, glanced at Zheng Haizhu, and said to Niu Chengzhong carelessly: "Second brother, elder brother is not a stingy person. This little girl is good-looking, and she looks sensible and obedient, but tonight, she I can't go happily with you, she has to appease her young lady. In a few days, on the day of the big brother's bridal chamber, I will also order someone to send her to your bed, haha."

Qiu Wanliang said this so vulgarly and blatantly, Niu Chengzhong quietly turned his eyes to observe Zheng Haizhu's expression.

Trapped in a den of bandits, listening to obscene language, how could this woman never show any shyness and fear?
She is not like a shivering rabbit in a cage, but more like a cat hunting at night.Ever since she was escorted by Xu Aliu just now, she has been secretly looking around and exploring, and at this moment, she is even more attentive, wondering what kind of mystery she is thinking about.

After a brief trance, Niu Chengzhong suddenly understood why he felt familiar with this woman.

Yes, in his memory, the eyes of his most respected and beloved relatives, the mother whom he admired so much, were filled with such calmness and alertness before the night attack on the enemy and the sword was unsheathed.
