Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 174 Bullying
He Zhaoxiong ordered the kitchen to prepare more meals, and reheated the cold banquet. There were originally 2000 people eating on the mountain, but now there are more than [-] people, and it can handle it. , Killing cattle and sheep, it is easier to work if there are many people, everyone will work together, and the food will be ready soon.

Zhu Yousong took Liu Zhaoji and Li Quan to the table, and the others also had dinner.Liu Zhaoji and Li Quan were extra cautious, afraid of He Zhaoxiong's tricks, they quietly tested all the food and wine on the table with silver needles before eating and drinking, and they were relieved when they saw that there was no problem.

Zhu Yousong didn't think about it at all. He knew what he was talking about when he saw his face, and he knew what he said by watching his words. something like that.

He Zhaoxiong took the leader of the mountain to accompany him in person, toasted Zhu Yousong and others frequently during the banquet, and drank it after pushing a cup.After three rounds of wine and tasteless dishes, the chatterbox also opened up.Zhu Yousong liked these reckless heroes very much, and it is also because his later generations have read many novels like Water Margin, and the emperor's airs have long been put aside, and he can let go.

Upstairs, He Xuanjiao bored herself into the room.The servant girl Xiaohong came over, "Miss, the Green Willow Villa has been recruited by the imperial court, why are you still lying here?"

"Is it related to me whether I like to recruit security or not?"

"Why not? From now on, we are all members of the imperial court. We set fire to the cottage and swagger wherever we go. We don't have to worry about officers and soldiers coming to steal the mountain and destroy the village. Hey miss, you seem very upset Ah, what's on your mind?"

It really made Xiaohong right, He Xuanjiao is now full of Zhu Yousong: this imperial envoy is too hateful, this lady is sincerely saving her, but he dared to pretend to be unconscious to trick this girl by the lake... oops It's so embarrassing, how will a big girl who has not left the cabinet see people in the future?

He Xuanjiao had nowhere to vent her anger, and immediately raised her eyebrows after hearing Xiao Hong's words, "Damn girl, what can I worry about, this damned imperial envoy, my aunt rescued them, but they took revenge on us and took us hostage. Can Miss Ben be happy? Aren't you angry?"

"But... you asked to save people?" Xiaohong asked puzzled.

"That's right, Miss Benben saved them, but did Miss Ben ask him to tie us up? Miss Ben asked him... Oh, you don't understand!" He Xuanjiao wanted to talk about Zhu Yousong tricking her into blowing mouth to mouth, but she blushed. Hot can say it.

"The imperial envoy said that this was a last resort. The three adults repeatedly apologized to us. He is an imperial envoy. Especially you saved that one. He was born a handsome man, and his martial arts are not ordinary. Even the owner of the village is no match for him. Show mercy a few times, otherwise the six of us and the owner of the village would be terrified, and he would condescend to honor us with the gift, which is enough to see. Isn’t this matter over, and even the owner of the owner will not mention it anymore , miss still brooding?"

"What do you know!" He Xuanjiao couldn't say no to Xiaohong, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he stopped her and ordered her to invite the owner.

Xiaohong didn't dare to say any more, seeing that the lady was acting weird today, she had to go to the Juyi Hall.

The atmosphere in the Juyi Hall was lively, the old man and Zhu Yousong ate and drank, bragging and talking wildly, Xiaohong came in and said a few words in He Zhaoxiong's ear when they were in high spirits.

In fact, the old man is very pampered to his daughter. He stopped being angry with her for today's incident. Instead, he thanked his daughter for doing such a great thing that benefited the cottage. Now that he heard that her daughter had something urgent to ask him, he had no choice but to stand up. Apologizing to Zhu Yousong, he said: "Your Excellency, please take it easy. If you excuse me, I will come as soon as I go."

"Old man, please go ahead." Of course Zhu Yousong didn't know what was going on, so he nodded.

He Zhaoxiong said to his subordinates again: "You take good care of the three adults." The leaders agreed, and He Zhaoxiong followed Xiaohong from the Juyi Hall to the Xiulou.

Upstairs, Xiaohong was afraid of getting in the way of her father and daughter, so she wisely stayed outside to listen to her greetings. The old man opened the door and went in, closing the door behind her.

Seeing his daughter sitting sullenly on the inner bed, He Zhaoxiong said: "Girl, what's the matter?"

"Father, are you really submitting to the imperial court?"

He Zhaoxiong rolled his eyes at his daughter, "It can be fake, what's the matter?"

"You don't discuss such a big matter with Jiao'er, Jiao'er...Jiao'er can't live..." He Xuanjiao burst into sobs as if she had been greatly wronged.

This was something He Zhaoxiong didn't expect. He thought that the happiest person on the mountain to surrender to the imperial court should be his daughter, because when he wanted to rob and kill these imperial envoys, his daughter strongly opposed it, saying that these imperial envoys are good or bad, because of this matter father and daughter She even turned her face, but now that she and the imperial envoy have become a family, why is she unhappy again...

He Zhaoxiong was a little confused, "Girl, please speak clearly, what's the matter?"

"Jiao'er has been bullied... If there are imperial envoys, there will be no imperial envoys, and if there are Jiao'er, there will be no imperial envoys... You can figure it out..."

"Ah, this..." The old man was even more dazed, and the veins on his forehead were stretched high through the alcohol, and his daughter was bullied by a man and cried. In the old man's impression, this was too serious, and he said angrily, "When did this happen?" Something? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Father, you heard Jiao'er say...that's what happened..." He Xuanjiao blushed and told the story in a low voice.

Xiaohong at the door opened her mouth in shock when she heard that the young lady was being bullied by that little white-faced imperial servant, and then she heard a lot, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be like this, thinking that she was in the water After being watched by the adult named Li Quan, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating.

At this moment, He Zhaoxiong's laughter came from inside the room, Xiaohong was taken aback and quickly listened carefully.

"Father, why are you still laughing?"

He Zhaoxiong's voice softened, "Girl, what should I do? You were not ugly at the time because you were saving people. The adults regard you as a benefactor. How can this be called bullying? Maybe it's because you are kind to him , he held his hands high to you and Daddy, the matter is over, don't think too much about it."

"Father, you put it lightly, that little boy may have lived in vain in front of you, but he is too bad in front of Jiaoer, don't you know... I must kill him!"

"Girl, you can't mess around!" He Zhaoxiong exclaimed in shock. He knew his daughter was stubborn and could do whatever she said, so he quickly stopped her.

He Xuanjiao pouted and said, "Father, you only care about getting promoted and getting rich, and you don't care about Jiaoer. Jiaoer is big and has long sleeves. How will you marry after this news gets out?"

"Tut tsk tsk..." The old man thought about it carefully. The daughter's words were also reasonable, but he found it a bit tricky. The decision he made just now was spoken loudly in front of the whole mountain. How could he go back on what he said?
The old man walked back and forth in the house for several times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, Jiaoer, you are destined. This is the only way to do things now, and you are too old, why don't you find someone to be a matchmaker. If your lord doesn't dislike it, you might as well marry him for a hundred years, in my father's opinion, your lord is definitely not a licentious person."

"He still dislikes me?" He Xuanjiao stared exaggeratedly, "I haven't taken a fancy to him yet, the little boy has no good intentions, what's the matter with the imperial envoy, I still don't want to climb up!"

He Zhaoxiong saw that his daughter was acting hypocritical, and said deliberately: "Girl, if that happens, Dad really has no choice."

"Then... well...it's all up to daddy..." The girl snorted as thin as a mosquito, remembering Zhu Yousong's mean expression when he played with her by the lake, her little face flushed again, and she said angrily: " This lady is as beautiful as a flower, and she is very capable, so she is really cheap for this little boy!"
