Beautiful step by step

Chapter 47

While saying this, Zhou's hands were not idle, she put her five fingers together and slapped Yan Heng with the wind in her palm.

Standing beside Yan Heng, Wei Wei saw him standing there in a daze, eyes half drooping, a sense of commonplaceness and silence in his whole body.

"Aheng."

Hooking his hand, Wei Wei's whole body was full of concern and anxiety.

After she shouted, Yan Heng, who was almost standing like a terracotta warrior, turned his head and looked at her completely different from the indifference just now.There was an exuberant flame in his eyes, even if he suppressed it as much as possible, it made Wei Yao feel a little palpitated.

Zhou's palm wind approached, and when the hand full of gold rings was about to fall on Yan Heng, his feet did not move, but his body leaned back slightly, and the hand that was stuck to his neck had no time to change direction, and followed his Adam's apple. wave over.

Chopping through the air with one palm, Zhou Shi, who had no time to control his strength, wobbled and stepped back a step before he could barely stand still.

Frowning into a pimple, she looked back coldly: "Thirteen Lang."

It was completely different from her expression, these three words yelled like a prostitute dancing a small handkerchief at the gate of a brothel, the sweetness and mildness in it made Wei Wei's scalp tingle for a while.

Some people just fell for this trick, and Yan Baihu's legs were weakened by her, and he stepped forward and looked at Yan Heng with a tiger's face.

"Why did Ah Heng talk to your mother?"

Wei Wei could feel that after Yan Baihu said this, Yan Heng's temperament suddenly changed.It wasn't the sadness or numbness she expected, but it turned into surprise, and there was an indomitable spirit in the surprise.

Of course, this sharpness quickly disappeared, so fast that she almost thought it was an illusion.

Standing obliquely in front of her, Yan Heng took advantage of his height to completely block her from the sight of the two of them.Clenching his fists, his voice was a little tight.

"Why are you here?"

Because he went down a step, Wei Wei, who was standing at the original height, was condescending.In the dim moonlight, she could see the momentary unnaturalness on Yan Baihu's face.

Then he calmly said: "My mother-in-law came to the mutual market to buy, just in time to see you entering the city."

Yan Heng's reaction was calmer than his: "So you rushed here without waiting?"

After speaking, he deliberately glanced at the hanging flower door, in the shadows under the moonlight, he vaguely saw a door panel lying on the side of the grass.

"I rented this house temporarily, and all the plants and trees in the yard belong to the owner's family. This door... seems to have been specially transported from the capital. Uncle Chen, how much is it worth?"

Uncle Chen was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that he cooperated and said, "Master Yan, this door is not only transported from the capital, but the door panel is made of the unique iron birch tree that grows on overseas islands. Not to mention the countless labor costs, the iron birch tree is also It is extraordinarily hard, and it is extremely difficult to carve, and the labor required for front and back alone can support a door panel."

Iron birch?Wei Wei narrowed her eyes, why did the name sound so familiar.It seems that Wei's mother told her that the family law of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is specially used to rule the servants is a board of iron birch.That board is harder than iron and can be used directly as a shield, even the sharp arrows on the northwest battlefield cannot penetrate it.

But now it was penetrated by the feet of Yan Baihu and his wife!

"Calculating roughly, it's worth at least this number."

Uncle Chen talked a lot about the background of this school, and finally pinched his fingers to sign a seven.

Yan Baihu took a deep breath: "You want to blackmail me for 70 taels of a broken door that can be smashed with one foot."

There were only two men surnamed Yan at the scene, and it was obvious that Yan Baihu automatically brought the phrase "Master Yan" into himself.

After hearing the same words, Wei Wei's reaction was that people really can't be judged by their appearance.Yan Baihu looked gentle and gentle, but the Zhou family next to him was more brutal. Unexpectedly, he was the main force kicking the door.

What Yan Heng thought was that he was now a poor man, a low-level military officer whose monthly salary was deducted by two-thirds.It looks like he has no money to outsiders, at least in Yan Baihu's mind, he has no money, so he automatically takes it in and wants to pay back the money himself.

But Chen Bo shook his head: "How could it be 70 taels."

Mrs. Zhou sneered and said, "I see what it means. I'll give you seventeen renminbi. Hire a mason for ten renminbi, and you'll pay the remaining seven renminbi."

From 70 taels to 4000 wen, the gap of more than [-] times was erased by her so lightly.

Chen Bo paused, and then he said in amazement as if he saw the sun coming out from the west: "The whole door is one. Don't say whether it can be repaired after it breaks down. Even if it can be repaired, people have to be transferred from the capital. Moreover, this door How could it be possible that the door is only 70 taels, and the minimum is obviously 700 taels."

"Ten taels?"

Yan Baihu was also in a hurry, he took a step forward and lifted Chen Bo's collar, and with his other free hand, he clenched into a fist and hit him directly in the face.

"I'll kill you, an old slave who blackmails you at will."

He spoke aggressively, and there was wind under his fists.At Uncle Chen's age, whether he can withstand this punch is debatable.Wei Wei frowned, and before she could push Yan Heng, the latter rushed up and grabbed his fist head-on.

Wei Wei had seen Yan Heng's skills.In her previous life, she learned self-defense from a mercenary, and the mercenary told her that Chinese kung fu really existed.Although it is not as exaggerated as in the TV series, a person with eighteen palms of the subduing dragon swung down thousands of troops, but a person who has practiced to a high level of kung fu can theoretically deal with forty or fifty ordinary people without any problem.Although she had never seen Yan Heng fight against 50 or [-] people, but outside the city of Youzhou, he faced more than a dozen former Oirat soldiers by himself, and he did not lose the wind in the slightest.

Wala soldiers are not ordinary people, whether they are elite soldiers or not, at least they have received military training for a long time.Physical fitness is better than ordinary people, and fighting skills are much better than ordinary people.According to what the mercenaries in the previous life said, it is pure nonsense that people who practice martial arts get better with age.Practicing martial arts can indeed strengthen the body and make people healthy and live a long life, but real fighting relies on skill and strength, and these two are of course the strongest when you are young.

And the mercenary master even said regretfully that now is a peaceful age, and there are few opportunities to exercise after all.Many people have honed their skills to proficiency in mission after mission, but they are no match for the physical strength lost by the increasing age, and it is difficult to reach the peak state for life.Watching Yan Heng kill the Oirats that day, she didn't feel disgusted at that time, only shocked.In a short period of time, Yan Heng actually perfectly integrated the boxing she had fought in the capital into his domineering but tough boxing style. Each move was quick, precise and ruthless, and cleanly took the enemy's life.

At that time, she only thought that this should be the peak state that the mercenary master once said.

But now, Yan Heng, who is in such a good state, took two full steps back because of the stop, and finally managed to stabilize his body with the help of the steps.

She should have underestimated the strength of Yan Baihu's punch, Chen Bo might die with this punch.

"Is it so reckless about human life?"

Unknowingly, she turned her dissatisfaction into words and blurted it out.

Yan Heng frowned after listening to her, and gave her a helpless look.Yan Baihu in front of him seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and beside Yan Baihu, Zhou even laughed arrogantly with his hips akimbo.

"Have no regard for human life?"

Her finger with a gold ring pointed at her: "I'm just disregarding human life, but what can you do to me?"

What's wrong with her?
Wei Wei was really caught by her question.

In Zhou's arrogant smile and sharp words, the scene of entering Jiuquan flashed before her eyes like a slideshow.The people with numb faces, the garrison guards in ragged clothes who couldn’t get enough to eat, and the Northwest Army who seemed to be enthusiastic at the roasted whole lamb banquet really needed repeated encouragement to stand up for their own rights.

This is the Jiuquan where sand and gravel are blowing in the Gobi Desert in the northwest border, not the capital city with beautiful flowers and flowers at the foot of the emperor.Just like in the northern hemisphere, Afghanistan is full of terror and hunger, and countless people die in wars every day; while Europe, not far to the west, is singing and dancing, and the human rights of citizens are protected to the greatest extent.

She has never realized so clearly for a moment that the most terrifying thing in Northwest China is not poverty or drought, but a social system that is completely out of touch with the outside world.Living in the same Dayue, this place is completely different from the capital city and even Youzhou.The military household system established by the Yue Taizu to promote the development of the border has become a prosperous soil for the breeding of slavery.The military households who were tied to the army's reclamation fields gradually became slaves under the officers of hundreds of households and thousands of households year after year, slaves who could be hacked and killed at will.

At this moment, she personally felt Yan Heng's helplessness.

Seeing her silence, Mrs. Zhou continued to be arrogant: "You don't even look at where you are standing. This is Jiuquan County, Jiuquan County in Liangzhou. Although Mr. Zhao returned to Beijing to report on his duties, there is still our Zhou family here. Let me tell you , my father is from a thousand households of the Zhou family, and my brother is even more hereditary."

The long-lost "My father is XX" awakened Wei Wei's sanity.Before seeing Mrs. Zhou, her impression of women was that her rank was not high.Although Dai Viet's folk customs are open, it does not mean that the most basic ethics and morals have been lost.At the very least, even if the general stepmother doesn't like the child left by the original spouse, they will pretend to be a loving mother, and at most "be gentle" and raise the child.

However, Mrs. Zhou refused to even put on a show. She tormented Ah Yun and let him sleep on straw in the cold winter outside the Great Wall.She can't wait to tell the whole world that she can't wait for the child left by her predecessor to die early.Such a style can no longer be described as stupid.The current world report is there, maybe she has calmed down after tossing Ah Yun, but what will others think of the child she gave birth to.Which parents who love their daughters are willing to marry the daughters they have carefully raised into the Yan family, and which family is willing to employ the daughters of the Yan family as the main wife for their sons who are willing to make a fortune for themselves.

At that time, she only thought that Mr. Zhou was stupid, but after hearing these words now, she felt that Mr. Zhou was extremely stupid.Even if he was determined that Yan Heng would not move, he should still think about her.On the day when the two got married, although Yan Heng never invited Yan's family over to disrupt the situation, there was no difference in etiquette.He wrote back and told her about her birth and wedding.

Thinking of this, Wei Wei laughed mockingly: "Ah Heng, what is a thousand households?"

Helping Uncle Chen to sit aside, Yan Heng explained to her solemnly: "A thousand households is an official in the army, who is in charge of a hundred households. Below the hundred households are the general flag and the small flag. A thousand households are a general constraint. Generally, a thousand households There will be no more than six hundred households under one household, and no more than one thousand soldiers under their control."

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows: "Don't say that the hundred households of the Yan family and the thousands of households in Jiuquan County are all my Zhou family's leader. Speaking of this, I really have to thank my good son. If it weren't for you back then, what would my Zhou family do?" Can enter Master Zhao's eyes."

Wei Kui under the wide sleeve grabbed Yan Heng's hand and shook it, comforting him silently.

Then she raised her head and asked condescendingly, "Is there a Duan Wangda in a thousand households?"

The corners of Yan Heng's lips raised slightly: "Of course not, King Duan is even higher than the Duke of Chaopin."

Wei Wei stretched out a finger, with a childlike innocence on his face: "Compared to the prince, is Qianhu equivalent to this?"

After a pause, she touched her fingernails: "I mean the fingernails are equivalent to the little fingers. Could it be that the nails are not enough? Could it be the mud in the nails?"

Seeing the malice in her eyes that only the two of them could feel, Yan Heng chuckled, how could Ah Mao be so cute.Gently pinched her little finger and rubbed it on the nail cover a few times.

"It's not muddy, it's a bit long nails that can be cut off at any time."

"Thirteen Lang, look at your good son, if you don't restrain him today, you won't be a man."

Zhou's waist was pinched, and the overly coquettish makeup on his face became a little more ferocious because of his anger.Under the moonlight, she looked a bit like a ghost in red who came to take her life.

At this moment, the fierce ghost was pointing at her: "And this little slut, who has an affair with your son without a matchmaker without the permission of his parents, dares to come to Jiuquan openly. When he came to Jiuquan, he even showed her score in Beijing. Pooh , I really think you are a princess, with a charming face, you may not be able to hook up with a man. Although I can't be the wife that my Yan family's Mingmei is marrying, but it's good to be a housekeeper. It just happened that I was tired after a busy day, so I hurried to change Wear serious clothes, squeeze my shoulders and beat my legs."

As she said that, she stood up and stretched out her hand to grab the sleeve of the man.At the same time, she raised one hand high, and her intention to beat people up first was very obvious.

"You old godly woman, don't touch my wife."

"Get out of the way."

It was Gu Yu who called "Old Godly Woman", and the last one was from Yan Heng.Although his words were extremely short, his actions were not sloppy at all. He raised his hand and slapped Zhou directly across the face.

This is the second time Wei Wei saw him slap a woman, the first time was when he faced Wu Shi in Jinxiu Pavilion.At that time, he slapped Wu Shi directly to the ground, and also slapped away the depression that had accumulated in her heart for more than a month.And this slap was louder and stronger than that slap.Zhou, who was a little fatter, was slapped back a step by him, and fell backwards without standing still.

"you!"

Yan Baihu rushed over and used his body as a cushion to block Zhou's body, which relieved her from the overwhelming impact.

The two were lying on the ground one on top of the other, Zhou's eyes were wide open and panting, Yan Baihu looked at Yan Heng as if he was looking at an enemy.

"Niezi, let's not talk about getting married outside, and go home to visit your parents when you return to Jiuquan County. We came to the door, and you even did it directly. You wait for me to write a book, how can such an unfilial and disrespectful person be an official?"

There is such a cruel and heartless father in the world, Wei Wei grabbed Yan Heng's hand and held it even tighter.

The latter gave her a reassuring look, and calmly said to the seven deadly sins pointed out by Father Yan: "I have official duties."

Mrs. Zhou struggled to stand up, covered her face with a sneer and said, "Little bastard, what business do you have?"

"No comment."

"I see that you are clearly quibbling."

Yan Heng said indifferently: "Then you can just treat me as a sophistry."

Wei Wei also calmed down now, just now she moved out of Duan Wang, but Zhou's restraint did not appear in the slightest.Faced with this kind of person, it seems to have another way of thinking.

Updating plan three with the times, Wei Wei frowned: "Ah Heng, although Madam is the stepmother who was promoted from the concubine's room, she is also your elder, how can you talk like that?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhou holding her head high and her chest high, with a look of "you are acquainted", Wei Wei smiled and continued softly:
"Madam Ke Ji also has to understand Ah Heng. How can the court tell others casually? If the secret is leaked, Ah Heng will lose his official position, and all of you who know will be sent to prison. Yan Baihu is also in the army. As an official, you should know that once some military information is leaked, you will even sit down. Ah Heng is also for your own good, why doesn't Madam understand him."

After a pause, she put her middle finger on the corner of her lips and shook it: "If something really happens, even the Wu family can't keep you."
