Second-hand lady

Chapter 35

After the ancestor worship ceremony is over, the Yuanshui official will be sacrificed next, praying to relieve the distress and make life more comfortable and smooth.

After the ceremony was over, Wen Liang and Ru Cui did not leave immediately. Wen Liang was stopped by his eldest brother, and by the way, he also called a few brothers from the mansion to gather in the gazebo in the garden. In Wen Yun's words, it's been more than ten years, and it's rare for the brothers to get together, so it's time to get acquainted with brotherhood.They are all brothers, and the family will need them to support them in the future, and the brothers should be more connected.

"Okay, okay, I haven't had a good talk with my third brother yet." The youngest fifth brother, Wen Ce, immediately nodded in agreement. He is nine years old this year, which is exactly the age of being lively and active, and worshiping heroes. I am very curious about the third brother who has never been home, and every time he goes home, he comes and goes in a hurry and never stops.When he heard that he proposed to break the North Vietnamese royal court, his admiration for him had already surpassed that of his father, Lord Zhen Guo.Wen Ce believes that this kind of strategist-type figure who strategizes and wins thousands of miles away is much more powerful than those ministers in the court, and the third brother is simply his idol hero.

Wen An is a dutiful and gentle person, and has never had ambitions for things that do not belong to him.At this moment when the elder brother spoke, he had no objection. Seeing that the younger brother was making a fuss, he pulled him and said, "Xiao Ce, don't make trouble."

Wen Yun's expression softened a little, but his face was still stern, and he said to Mrs. Xiaozheng: "You are too young, you can't argue with us for a drink later, and you are not allowed to drink secretly! Otherwise, I will ask the mother to send you a drink." You go back to your room and rest."

Children especially hate being called young, and Wen Ce is no exception. He immediately retorted loudly: "Brother, I'm already nine years old, not too young! You can still drink with third brother and discuss the art of war, third brother, right?" ?” Said, walked around to Wen Liang, pulled his sleeves and smiled at him.

Wen Yun shook his head helplessly, and said to Wen Liang: "Our little brother doesn't know who he looks like, and his temper is also very jumpy."

Wen Liang smiled lightly, like a gentleman, expressing that he didn't know who his younger brother was like.

——Isn’t it just like a certain military adviser when he was a child?But it is much purer than a military division.

Seeing his brothers and friends respecting each other, Lord Zhen Guo was very satisfied and happy. Although he also wanted to drink a glass of wine with his sons to cultivate a father-son relationship, he only took one foot away when he saw the third son glance over. , the other foot couldn't be stepped forward, and he could only watch helplessly as his sons bid farewell to him and left together.

"Master..." Mrs. Zhen Guo called carefully, for fear that her husband, who was abandoned by her sons, would get angry.

Mr. Zhen Guo glanced at her with a stern face, and then turned his gaze to Miss Rucui inexplicably. When the girl showed a habitual smile and was about to come forward to say hello, he said with a stern face that she would go to the study. gone.

Everyone watched him leave, all silent, even the courageous and gentle little girl was unbelievably well-behaved, only Miss Rucui asked blankly: "Mother, do you want to go drink and talk with my husband and elder brother? But you are embarrassed to go because your husband didn't speak?"

Mrs. Zhen Guogong gave her a speechless look, and said in her heart that she shouldn't say such an obvious thing, and don't drag them if you want to scold her!But if this word reaches the master's ears, the three daughters-in-law will be even more unpopular.

Miss Rucui understood, and said with a smile: "Father and husband are quite alike in this respect." Sometimes it is really awkward and cute.

"..."

Anyone with eyes can see that the father and son have no similarities in appearance and temper. Oh, wrong, they are probably a bit similar in that they are so proud and unwilling to let go of their bodies to show their goodwill.Mrs. Zhen Guogong and others felt that Miss Rucui's words were to please her father-in-law, so they couldn't help laughing in their hearts. Don't you think it's too late to please her now?

The men went to chat and drink, and the women gathered together to talk and chat. Miss Rucui sat in the group of women very calmly, sneering at Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Qin as if she didn't hear them, and she often spoke bluntly. He refuted it back, not surprisingly, he choked and felt uncomfortable.

At noon, after lunch, Wen Liang and Ru Cui left under the welcome of their children and family.

Wen Liang asked thoughtfully: "Is it okay to get along with them?"

Miss Rucui happily replied: "Well, very good, I will try my best to be filial to my mother-in-law, friendly sister-in-law and sister-in-law." I looked like a good person.

Wen Liang felt relieved, as long as his second-hand girl doesn't get angry.

After leaving Zhen Guogong's mansion, the carriage moved slowly on the road. Because there were too many pedestrians on the street, the carriage could only move forward at a tortoise speed. At this speed, it was unknown when he would be able to return home.Miss Rucui lifted a corner of the curtain and looked around the street secretly, seeming to be very interested in seeing the crowds.

Today is the Xiayuan Festival on October [-]th. There are many people on the street. People wear deep colored clothes, or invite a few friends to participate in the sacrificial activities held on the street, or go to Taoist temples for sacrifices.The Taoist temple is very lively on this day. They want to relieve the people from their troubles, and the people also pay homage to the Yuanshui officials and ancestors in the Taoist temple.

Wen Liang leaned against the wall of the car, his face was reddish, today was the first time he sat down with a few brothers and had a good talk after being away from home for more than ten years. He was able to let go and drink a few cups. Although he was not drunk, he was already slightly dipped.

After watching for a while, Miss Rucui suddenly said: "Miss Wen, you are pretty cousin, she seems to be in trouble."

Before Wen Liang could react, Miss Rucui had asked the carriage to be parked by the side of the road, then jumped off the carriage neatly, turned around and saw that Wen Liang was still sitting lazily, she couldn't help but shouted: "Master Wen, come down quickly, Qiao Cousin Pretty is in trouble."

Wen Liang was made soft by her coquettish tone, smiled, and let her pull him out of the carriage.

Miss Rucui dragged Wen Liang to run around in the crowd, her movements were quite nimble, and then she came to an alley, surrounded by a group of people, among them were a few young men in rich clothes, their backs were facing them, blocking the entrance of the alley .

Miss Rucui weighed her feet and looked around, unable to see clearly what was going on inside, she turned her eyes, and without waiting for the servants behind to open the way, she lifted her skirt and kicked the ass of the person in front of her.

"Oh—" the man screamed and fell to the ground.

"Go away, don't get in the way!" Miss Rucui yelled aggressively while kicking someone, kicking a path brutally.

Those people all turned their backs to them, so Miss Rucui kicked a few of them down easily for a while, except for the two who were kicked to the ground before, the others were hugged by their companions to avoid falling .

Wen Liang looked blank, and Shang Xi and the two guards who followed behind lowered their heads expressionlessly. This kind of time is to test their ability to respond as subordinates, so don't make unnecessary expressions.

Sun Qiaoqiao, who was blocked in the alley, was surprised and happy when she saw Miss Rucui appearing so bravely. She jumped over and took Rucui's hand from Wen Liang's hand, and said happily, "Biao sister-in-law, seeing you It's really great!" As he said, he threw himself into Miss Rucui's arms and rubbed against her, expressing his joy.

Miss Rucui touched her head with a smile, and said, "I'm also very happy to see you. But today is the Xiayuan Festival, there are so many people on the street, why don't you bring some people with you when you come out?"

Sun Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and sighed, "Cousin-in-law, there are so many people here, we were pushed apart."

Wen Liang on the side stared at the little cousin who was holding his wife, squinted his eyes, and then turned his gaze to the dozen or so teenagers. They didn't look very old, they were only in their early teens, and their faces were still childish. But it is full of wealth and honor.Looking at their clothes, the materials are all very good, and one can tell that they are young masters from rich and powerful families.

After a while, Wen Liang had already observed the situation on the spot, and also had a good understanding of the dozen or so young men, but he was a little curious about their purpose of appearing here, and he wanted to see what they wanted to do.

The two girls were talking happily, but those sons and brothers who were kicked down by Miss Rucui were not happy, and were quite annoyed in their hearts. Finally, they found a beautiful and cute little girl alone, and they were about to invite her to go with them While swimming in a colorful boat, Cheng Yaojin appeared!Where did this woman come to make trouble?And kick their asses so boldly, even their parents have never done this before.

"You stinky woman, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Miss Rucui turned her eyes and scolded angrily: "Don't you guys feel guilty for blocking a little girl who is alone here? Judging by your age, you should still be studying in the academy Right? If you don’t learn how to tease girls everywhere at a young age, are you worthy of your parents who worked so hard to raise you? Are you worthy of the emperor’s expectations of you?”

"you--"

Among them, the young man who was the first to be kicked by Ru Cui had a gentle and handsome appearance. At this time, he was humiliated and his face was extremely ugly. He looked like he was going to kill, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, woman! We are only seeing her The person is alone, and I want to invite her to swim the river together! We are serious people, so we will not do things to bully women."

Before Miss Rucui could speak, Sun Qiaoqiao said with a displeased face, "You lied, you said earlier that you would tie me to the boat even if you had to use force!"

"Hey, little girl, you can't slander our Master Wei like this." One of the boys with a chubby face shouted.

"That's right, Mr. Wei has good intentions, and we invite you because we don't want a beauty to be alone."

"That's right. Today is the Xiayuan Festival. Everyone is going on a river cruise on a colorful boat. We just want to invite you to go on a river cruise. We won't do anything bad."

"Little girl is too ignorant of good and evil, she is even more difficult to deal with than those women in the academy..."

"No, no, those in the academy are all rich daughters of big families. They are reserved and reserved, and they don't bother to go to the lake with us. They have agreed to the eldest prince and the others."

"So Mr. Wei couldn't invite those noble girls with high eyes, so he wanted to tie one up on the street?"

"Idiot, how can you say such a thing, even if it is the truth, you can't say it!"

"..."

Wen Liang looked at this group of teenagers who were having a lively discussion with black lines all over his face, did he forget that there were bystanders there?By the way, all the students in the current academy are like... two?Wen Liang suddenly felt that he would have a hard time in the future. He originally planned to be a substitute teacher at the invitation of the headmaster of Qingshan Academy when he was free, but now it seems...it would be better to quit.

"Shut up, young master!" that young master Wei shouted with a pale face, this group of dumb people who can't speak, complained that they couldn't invite those noble girls in the academy, and he was also ashamed for being tired.

The teenagers finally shut up, but they still looked at Young Master Wei helplessly, wanting him to quickly tie that little girl to the colorful boat, otherwise the prince's boat will be full of colorful flowers, and their boat is full of stinky men. It makes them feel inferior.

Young Master Wei was very satisfied with his absolute authority. Just as he was about to speak, the round-faced young man came over like a groundhog, and said in a soft voice: "Young Master Wei, although this girl is a bit old, But it can also serve as a facade, why not invite both of them together."

Young Master Wei slapped it directly, and cursed: "Fool, such an old woman, are you letting the first prince and the second prince laugh at us and make a servant to save face?" He said with an ugly face: "The royal prince So what, don't think that their father is the emperor, so we have to let them go everywhere! Hmph, I don't believe that I can't get people on board... ah!"

Young Master Wei, who was speaking passionately, was kicked and flew to the wall to be pasted as a mural.

Everyone turned their heads mechanically, only to see that the "old woman" they were talking about put down the hem of her skirt and smiled at them, with two small canine teeth gleaming in the sun.And behind the girl, there stood a handsome man with picturesque features, squinting a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes to examine them, those eyes blinked slightly, shimmering with waves, so captivating that people dare not look directly at them.

For some reason, being caught by those peach blossom eyes, the faces of the teenagers present were flushed immediately, but a cold chill surged up in their hearts against their will.
