Chapter 196 Miss Ruyan
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the housekeeper Di Chun came to report: "My lord has sent a message from my hometown. Miss Ruyan left on the twelfth. I'm afraid she will arrive in a few days."

Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I was confused. This matter was mentioned in a letter from my elder brother a month ago."

Di Chun asked: "Master, how do you see the arrangement?"

Di Renjie said: "Well, clean out the Dongkua courtyard and let her live there first."

Di Chun answered "Yes" and turned to leave.

Wang Mang asked suspiciously: "My lord, do you still have a niece?"

Di Renjie nodded and said with a smile: "my niece, the first time I saw her was ten years ago, when she was only five or six years old. Time flies, time flies, even Ruyan has grown up How can we not be old!"

Wang Mang shook his head slightly: "I see, you are not old all these years, but young instead!"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "Yes, my lord, Jing Yang has grown up all these years!"

"Fuck you, you've just grown up! I'm mature!"

Wang Mang waved his hand.

Di Renjie smiled: "You two, if you don't bicker for a day, your whole body will itch!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and laughed loudly.

……

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and even though it is dusk, the streets of Yongchang County are still very lively, with lanterns and festoons hanging in shops and stores, and people are buzzing in front of restaurants and wine shops.

A Guancheng stood in front of the posthouse, looking around, as if waiting for someone.

Following a rush of hoofbeats, five or six horses wrapped a carriage around the street corner and rushed to the post gate of Yongchang Pavilion.

The leader was actually a beautiful girl with a beautiful face, a heroic spirit in her curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of shining eyes. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Dressed in a Hu suit, she raised the horsewhip with her left hand and asked loudly the Guan Cheng in front of the door: "Is this the Yongchang Post?"

The Guan Cheng in front of the door glanced at her, and said indifferently: "There is a plaque on the door, I can't see it myself."

The girl raised her eyebrows: "Look for yourself, why do you want to poke at the door? Keep company with the stone lion!"

The servants behind him snickered.

Guan Cheng raised his head: "Hey, you are a girl, how do you talk?"

The girl sneered: "Talk to people when you see people, talk to ghosts!"

Guan Cheng was furious: "You say I'm a ghost!"

The girl snorted: "I think you are worse than a ghost! A big living man is standing in front of the door, and he doesn't answer you when he asks you a question. Who do you think you are?"

Guan Cheng sneered: "That's a good question. May I ask, who do you think you are, girl? Do you think this Guan Cheng is standing here to answer your questions? You really don't know yourself."

The girl got off her horse and walked across to Guan Cheng, sizing him up carefully.

Guan Cheng asked angrily, "What are you looking at?"

The girl sneered, "Your face looks a bit wrong."

Guan Cheng was taken aback: "Oh, what's wrong?"

The girl said, "Eyes."

Guan Cheng was taken aback: "Eyes?"

The girl nodded and said mockingly: "I said, why do you have a human face but a pair of dog eyes?"

Guan Cheng immediately shouted angrily: "You ignorant woman, how dare you call Ben Cheng a dog?"

The girl smiled and said, "I didn't say you are a dog, but you have a pair of dog eyes. As the saying goes: Dog eyes... look down on people."

Guan Cheng immediately blushed with anger: "You, you..."

The girl raised her neck: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

Guan Cheng snorted heavily, turned his head away, and ignored her.

The girl asked: "Let me ask you, is this the Yongchang Post?"

Guan Cheng ignored it.

The girl said: "Okay, if you don't talk, then it's a wooden stake, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she took the horse with one hand, pulled up the rein and tied it around Guan Cheng's neck involuntarily.

Guan Cheng was startled: "What are you doing?"

The girl waved her hand at the servant behind her and shouted, "Tie the horse!"

The servants responded, and ran over laughingly, putting the reins in their hands around Guan Cheng's neck.

Guan Cheng struggled again and again, but was caught by the reins. He blushed and shouted vigorously: "You, you are bold!"

Seeing Guan Cheng's distressed appearance, the girl burst out laughing.

Just as the commotion was raging, a loud voice sang from behind: "The county magistrate is here!"

Everyone was stunned and turned their heads.

An official sedan chair landed, and an official dressed in official robes walked out of it. This person was Zeng Tai, the magistrate of Yongchang County.

He walked quickly to the door, looked at Guan Cheng, then at the girl, and frowned: "What's going on?"

The girl walked up to Zeng Tai: "Are you the magistrate here?"

The yamen servant next to Zeng Tai yelled: "Bold woman, you dare to speak to the county magistrate like that, you are so audacious!"

Zeng Tai waved his hand, interrupted the shouting of the yamen servant, and said with a smile, "Girl, I am Zeng Tai, the county magistrate here."

The girl was taken aback: "You once..."

At this time, the Guancheng had already untied the horse's rein around his neck, ran to Zeng Tai and said angrily, "My lord, I was ordered to wait here for Miss Ruyan, but this girl is, but..."

Zeng Tai asked, "But what?"

Guan Cheng said: "But he insulted the lowly position and put the horse's rein on his head."

The girl smiled and said: "My lord, the little girl is here to stay. Seeing him standing in front of the door, she asked if this is a post house, but the postman just ignored him and asked me to look at the signboard. But hospitality?"

Zeng Tai glanced at Guan Cheng with displeasure in his eyes.

The girl smiled and said: "That's when the little girl said that he was a dog's eye. Later, later... come on, I was wrong, Mr. Guancheng, the little girl is here to accompany you."

As she spoke, she smiled and saluted Guan Cheng.

Zeng Tai snorted softly: "I think this girl's words are not bad, you really look down on others. Although I want you to wait here for Miss Ruyan, why can't you answer someone's question? Ok?"

Guan Cheng was robbed for a while, and he was speechless to answer.

Zeng Tai taught him a lesson: "It's really unreasonable for a Guan Cheng to have such a big official air! He still hasn't apologized to this girl."

Guan Cheng swallowed, and smiled apologetically: "Okay, girl, it's my fault, this is Yongchang Guanyi."

The girl laughed: "Thank you Mr. Guancheng, I'm sorry, you are not a dog's eye, but a human eye."

Everyone burst into laughter; Zeng Tai couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, he turned his head and asked Guan Cheng, "Miss Ruyan hasn't come yet?"

Guan Cheng shook his head.

Zeng Tai wondered: "Strange, it should be today!"

The girl smiled and said, "Miss Ruyan has already arrived!"

Zeng Tai was taken aback, and turned his head.

The girl smiled and said, "I am Di Ruyan."

Zeng Tai was shocked: "What, you, you are, old Di Ge's niece, Miss Ruyan?"

Ruyan smiled and said, "Exactly. You are Uncle Zeng, the magistrate of Yongchang County, right?"

Zeng Tai said: "Exactly. Two days ago, Di Chun wrote to say that you are going to pass through Yongchang."

Ruyan smiled and said, "Aren't I here? Uncle Labor is great, I am ashamed to be a little girl!"

Zeng Tai smiled: "Okay, okay, okay, come in quickly."

As he spoke, he gave Guan Cheng a hard look.

The servants behind Yan Chong pouted, and several servants nodded, and quickly ran to the carriage, and lifted a huge box from above.

Zeng Tai smiled and said: "What a big box! It seems that the lady has a lot of luggage."

Ruyan smiled and said, "Exactly. Uncle Zeng, let's go in."

Zeng Tai nodded, and a group of people walked quickly into the post.
