Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 379 Guo Wen'an Enters the City (Part [-])
The breeze is not dry, and the sun is just right.

Autumn in the capital of the Northern Kingdom is the most refreshing.

Jiang Shi and Ning Xiuxian walked back side by side. Unlike the second lady's bluffing, she was more calm and restrained. Even if she was extremely surprised in her heart, she would only show it very well.After a long while, she smiled lowly, and said frankly, "Actually... I'm not afraid of my husband's jokes. Before this, I occasionally thought, such a little girl... why?"

"It means that Xiuyuan has a crush on her?"

"Hmm..." Jiang shook her head, squinted her eyes and grinned, "It's not like this... I like this kind of thing. Greens and radishes have their own preferences. In fact, sometimes it's not that complicated, especially for my uncle who doesn't care about anything." For those who are lacking, it’s good to see the right one. I mean Jiao Weiqin, the genius doctor, and what you said, Young Master Gu...etc."

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes and smiled softly, "Husband, you know that these are rare encounters for ordinary people in their lifetime..."

Ning Xiuxian looked at her with a smile, "Envy?"

Jiang Shi didn't hide anything, she nodded, tilted her head slightly, with a bit of unobtrusive coquettishness, "It's a bit..."

Ning Xiuxian stretched out his hand to touch her head, and gently comforted her, "Don't be envious, you are fine like this. Ji Wuyan has Ji Wuyan's way, she has many encounters, but the road is bumpy, and the responsibility is also heavy on her shoulders. I feel envious, but if it were you, I would feel distressed, my wife...you just need to be my wife, you don't have to be someone's disciple or master, no matter how many burdens you have Come here, I will always stand in front of you."

The palm on top of the head is warm, generous, and reassuringly considerate.She stared blankly, suddenly with mixed feelings, "Husband..."

"I don't want to compare with her, I'm just, just... I just heard what the second master said just now, and I was thinking... If I were to change places, it would be your husband who fell into the water and disappeared at that time, and I would probably only cry and cry I'm scared, I can't do anything..."

"Even though I'm so much older than her... but speaking of it, I'm not as good as a child..."

The children are about to talk about marriage, and when they talk about these things, they look forward to Ai Ai like a little girl and go to a dead end.

Ning Xiuxian shook his head helplessly, "Do you think... how many people like Ji Wuyan can there be in this world? The eldest lady of the Shangguan family entered the palace as a princess and disappeared for no apparent reason. No one from the Shangguan family came , but a little girl came here... so, don't you understand?"

"Husband means..."

"The child you mentioned...is stronger than many adults. So you don't have to worry about it. There are many people who are not as good as a child... Besides, even if you really change places, there is such a third brother, there are Such third siblings, what else do you have to worry about? So... In the end, it's my wife's good fortune. That Ji Wuyan... is just a hard worker."

Jiang Shi choked, but let out a chuckle, and the sudden melancholy dissipated without a trace in an instant, she blamed her husband who looked at her without restraint, "Pass this word carefully to my uncle's ears, when the time comes, I won't help you."

"I'm afraid of him?" Ning Xiuxian snorted, leading his wife to his yard, complaining as he walked, "Besides, that kid might be happy and happy now! Who cares what I say?"

……

Two days later, Guo Wen'an entered Beijing.

He was escorted back by a prison car, and the road was already crowded with onlookers. His "great achievements" have long been passed on from word to mouth. The rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs in the basket were smashed vigorously.

38 taels... For many families, it is a huge sum that is completely unimaginable.

"I'm a damsel, seeing that scorpion a few days ago made my heart tremble for several days. Except for the empresses and nobles in the palace, who can afford that treasure! After thinking about it, I remembered this murderer !” After finishing speaking, he threw out a handful of rotten vegetable leaves.

"I heard it's 38 taels! My man said that the place in Yingzhou is so poor! There are floods every year, and it can't be cured every year. It will continue to be troubled next year... Let me just say, this flood has become a monster. Catch a place every year and go to harm? It turns out that the money has been put into people's pockets..."

"Chou Chou, Chou Chou... This fat body is made up by a big hen, isn't it?" After finishing speaking, the rotten egg smashed over, missed the head, and hit the cage railing.The woman sighed softly, "Oh...it's a pity..."

"38 taels... I can't finish eating a big hen!"

"I'm dying to eat now, I'm afraid I'll have to eat a decapitated meal in a few days!"

Ji Wuyan sat on the second floor of the teahouse by the window, watching the "grand occasion" downstairs, and only sipped tea slowly.There were not many people in the teahouse, and almost half of the people in Yanjing City ran to throw vegetables, leaves, and rotten eggs along the way. The shopkeeper came to deliver tea and snacks in person. Did you come to see Guo Wen'an? Why didn't you come down to see it?"

"It was at the bottom. It was too crowded, so I came up..." Ji Wuyan said casually, "I haven't seen Mr. Guo before, but I happened to pass by today, so I came to meet you."

"Girl looks like a learned person." The shopkeeper put down the tea in his hand, hugged the tray and chatted, "I still call out this kind of scum that harms the people one by one, if the women who are filled with righteous indignation down here I heard it, but it will be talked about for a long time."

Ji Wuyan looked outside with a grin, not quite believing it, "That's not the case... After all, it's Yingzhou, thousands of miles away..."

"Why not! Although Yingzhou is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also my Dongyao land, right? The people of Yingzhou are also my Dongyao people, right? I don't know where these people heard that Guo Wen'an is going to enter the city in the next few days Yes, someone came to me a few days ago and asked me if I had any broken rotten eggs, and I was going to smash the thieves... Some people even offered to buy it with copper coins, girl, do you think it's outrageous?"

"It's outrageous..." Ji Wuyan squinted and smiled, looking downstairs.The prison van has passed by, and only some shadows and the mighty onlookers can be seen. They follow the prison spontaneously, cursing and smashing all the way, and even the soldiers on the side suffered innocent disasters, and were caught by some people with bad eyes. The people who made it smashed their heads and faces.

"That's why! It doesn't matter if it's Yingzhou or Yanjing City. For such corrupt officials, it's good to catch one, and one less!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was very excited, "I regret not preparing more rotten eggs!"
