Chapter 98

There was a commotion under the bridge.

Those who were washing clothes and vegetables by the river were all nearby residents.

As soon as the burly woman started talking, the others followed suit and started to make noises.

But not many people actually started to make noises.

These days, people can hardly even get enough food and clothing, so how dare they make trouble at will.

And judging from the clothes worn by the mother and daughter, they were not ordinary people.

The pretty young woman was Yang Ping'er, the second wife of Chengguo Mansion.

And the delicate little girl in the red skirt was her daughter Luo Xiaolou.

For some reason, the two of them came here today.

Yang Ping'er was full of momentum when she was scolding, and she was not inferior to anyone, but when she started to fight, she was no match for the burly woman.

The burly woman grabbed her collar with one hand and began to tear her clothes with the other hand, shouting loudly: "Come and see! Everyone, come and see! This little slut who ran out of some brothel is going to take off her clothes for everyone to see!"

The women watching laughed and made noises.

Several men standing not far away and watching suddenly had their eyes lit up and widened.

Yang Ping'er struggled desperately, but couldn't get away.

At this time, she was scared and didn't dare to curse anymore. Her face flushed and she blocked the other person's hand in a miserable state.

Luo Xiaolou cried and tried to help, but she was too small and weak, and was completely ignored by the burly woman.

At this moment.

A cold shout suddenly came from the side: "Stop!"

The booing paused.

The burly woman turned her head and looked at the person who spoke. Seeing that it was a young scholar who looked weak, she sneered and said to Yang Ping'er sarcastically: "Little slut, your little lover is here, you are just an old cow eating tender grass, hahahaha..."

The others also laughed and looked at the young scholar who suddenly appeared with frivolous and ambiguous eyes.

Luo Qingzhou's face darkened, he pushed through the crowd, walked in, grabbed the hand of the burly woman who was holding Yang Ping'er's collar, his eyes flashed with strange light, stared directly at the other's pupils, his soul was concentrated, his internal force was poured into his throat, his face was like an angry tiger, his voice was like thunder, and he suddenly shouted: "Let go!"

This shout, the other women nearby heard it, they just thought his voice was a little loud, nothing unusual, but when the burly woman heard it, her eardrums vibrated, her head rumbled, her body trembled suddenly, her hands trembled, and she couldn't help but let go. At the same time, her pupils shrank, something in her body suddenly trembled, her face turned pale in an instant, her legs couldn't help but clamped, and her pants were directly wet...

She froze there, her pupils were a little sluggish for a moment, her face couldn't help but show a look of astonishment and fear, her body seemed to be suddenly fixed, motionless.

Seeing this scene, Luo Qingzhou secretly thought that what the book said was indeed correct.

The spirit is so strong that it can shock people with its eyes and frighten souls with its voice!

"Let's go."

He glanced at Yang Ping'er and Luo Xiaolou beside him, pushed through the crowd, and left quickly.

He knew that this effect could only last for a short time.

This woman was strong, unlike those weak women, and she would probably wake up soon.

Yang Ping'er didn't dare to scold anymore, and hurriedly pulled her daughter and followed him.

"Wu Kui's family, what are you doing? Just a weak scholar, you are scared like this?"

"Do you know that boy? An official?"

The other women watching nearby saw this scene, all with puzzled faces, and asked questions one after another.

At this time, the burly woman gradually came back to her senses, stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted slowly to the young man who had already walked to the bridge and shouted angrily: "Boy, don't leave if you have the guts! Come down and fight me for three hundred rounds! I must cripple you!"

As soon as this was said, the other women laughed again.

"Come on, Wu Kui, you've been scared to death by that young man! Look at your pants..."

"Hahaha... That's right, Wu Kui, you're the real coward. Is there anything else in your pants besides urine?"

The burly woman was immediately angry and said, "Bullshit! I'm just excited by the handsome boy!"

"Puff--hahaha..."

The women laughed again, leaning forward and backward, and talked about the handsome boy again.

Luo Qingzhou took the mother and daughter to the bridge, walked along the opposite bank of the river, and turned into an alley.

Seeing that there was no one around, Fang stopped and turned to look at them.

"Brother Qingzhou!"

Luo Xiaolou immediately threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and cried, "Luckily Brother Qingzhou came, otherwise mother would have been stripped naked and thrown into the river."

Yang Ping'er blushed and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! Is mother so useless? Didn't you see that mother just argued with the scholars and scolded the person who couldn't answer?"

Luo Qingzhou frowned and asked, "Second Madam, why are you there?"

Yang Ping'er glared at him and said with a stern face, "It's all because of you. Xiaolou was clamoring to come out Looking for you, she sneaked out several times in the past few days, and I caught her back. Today, I had no choice but to bring her out myself. "

Luo Xiaolou immediately interrupted: "Brother Qingzhou, mother lied to me. She said she would take me to find Brother Qingzhou, but she took me to wander around. Just now when we walked to the bridge, mother said she wanted to go down to wash her hands, but she got into an argument with someone. Mother didn't like the splash of laundry on her, so she quarreled with him, and the result was..."

"Humph! They are just some vulgar and uneducated country girls. I am so angry!"

Yang Ping'er was so angry that Yue Xiong hurt. She raised her hand to rub it, but felt it was inappropriate. She immediately put it down and asked, "Qingzhou, why are you out here alone?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "I'll go to the bookstore and have a look."

Luo Xiaolou's eyes lit up and he quickly hugged his arm and said, "Brother Qingzhou, can you take me with you? I want to go too."

Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly.

Yang Ping'er hesitated for a moment, glanced at her daughter, and said, "Qingzhou, how about you take Xiaolou with you? You take her to the Qin Mansion to play today, and I will pick her up in the evening."

After a pause, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and he added: "She is just a child, she should be fine. This girl is also pitiful. She stays at home all day, no one plays with her, and she always wants to come out to find you. Why……"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and looked into those charming big eyes. His heart softened. Just when he was about to agree, he suddenly thought of the recent assassination. He was silent for a moment and refused: "Second Madam, I still want to study. , If you can’t accompany her, you should take her back.”

"Brother Qingzhou..."

Luo Xiaolou's eyes were red and he cried aggrievedly.

Yang Ping'er sighed and said nothing more. She held her daughter's hand and said with a wry smile: "Qingzhou, I know, you may be afraid of being blamed by the Qin Mansion, right? Indeed, they probably hate us to death. How can you welcome us? Are you really having a good time there?"

After saying that, he laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore, and you don't want to talk about it. How good can you live if you get married? As long as you have food to eat and can live, that's all."

"Xiaolou, let's go. Mom will take you to buy candies."

Luo Xiaolou still hugged Luo Qingzhou's arm tightly and cried, "Brother Qingzhou, if Xiaolou doesn't go to the Qin Mansion, brother Qingzhou will be punished... Xiaolou will go shopping with brother Qingzhou. Let’s go shopping for a while, okay?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then opened her hand and said, "Go back quickly and study hard at home. Don't come out again, it's dangerous outside."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Luo Xiaolou stood there, looking at him with tears in his eyes, crying silently, but did not make it difficult for him anymore.

Yang Ping'er sighed again and hugged her tightly.

After Luo Qingzhou took a few steps, he suddenly turned back to look at the mother and daughter and said, "The Chinese New Year is almost here, let's wait a little longer."

After a pause, he added: "Soon."

After saying this, he left quickly.

Yang Ping'er was stunned for a moment, watching his back disappearing around the corner, and wondered: "What do you mean?"

Luo Xiaolou wiped away her tears and said, "Mother, Brother Qingzhou said that the New Year is coming soon. During the New Year, Brother Qingzhou will take his bride back to Chengguo Mansion. Then I can play with Brother Qingzhou." Now, you can also take a look at Brother Qingzhou’s bride.”

Yang Ping'er stroked her head, her eyes were gentle, she smiled bitterly and murmured: "I hope so."

Luo Qingzhou walked on the street and looked back.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going. I wonder if there were anyone sent by the government.

Since the eldest lady wants to put him to death, she should have people guard him all the time, waiting for opportunities, right?

The other party is ruthless and capable of doing anything.

If he shows Xiaolou's care and concern, I'm afraid that the other party will be useless and even make a fuss about Xiaolou.

In that case, it will only harm that simple and kind girl.

Therefore, he must be cruel.

Soon.

There is still one month left for the New Year.

After the New Year, time passes faster.

The first floor of Jubao Pavilion is for buying books. There are all kinds of books, and there are even some banned books.

The Great Yan Empire has a mandatory rule that any store that sells warrior supplies must have literati books.

Because warriors must also be literate and understand the law, know etiquette, and understand morals. This will reduce the occurrence of using force to violate prohibitions and the vulgarity of warriors.

Therefore, it is more difficult to become a qualified warrior than a scholar.

After Luo Qingzhou entered, he wandered around the bookshelves on the first floor for a while. When he saw no one at the door, he went upstairs and went directly to the counter selling meat refining potion, spending 600 gold coins and buying three bottles of potion.

The price of potions has increased again.

The waiter in the shop explained helplessly that the prices of materials have been rising recently, and the prices of alchemists have also risen, and there is nothing they can do.

Luo Qingzhou didn't say much.

Although it is expensive and there are only three drops of potion in the bottle, the effect is obvious and it is worth the money.

After he successfully refines the meat, he can go out to hunt monsters to make money, and at the same time hone his combat skills.

I believe that the strength will grow faster by then.

Jubao Pavilion also has a service that can introduce individual warriors to join a certain team and go out to hunt monsters together.

Whether such a team is leaving or entering the city, no formalities are required, and no one will ask, and the members may not know each other.

After Luo Qingzhou bought the potion and chatted with the waiter for a few words, he went downstairs.

He did not go out directly, but walked around on the first floor for a while and bought two books.

Just as he was about to leave, two girls suddenly walked in from the door.

One of them was shorter, with a well-proportioned figure, wearing a long green dress, with curves and curves, and a little makeup on her face, and a beautiful appearance.

Luo Qingzhou had seen her before.

Song Zixi, the daughter of the Song family, one of the four major families in Mo City.

When she was boating and admiring the moon with Miss Qin Er in the Moonlight Tingyu Garden, she had given Luo Qingzhou a question.

The two looked at each other.

Song Zixi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she took the initiative to say, "Mr. Luo, what a coincidence, are you here to buy books too?"

Luo Qingzhou nodded politely, raised the books in his hand and said, "Well, I have nothing to do today, so I came out for a walk and bought two books by the way. Where is Miss Song?"

Song Zixi smiled and said, "I am here to buy books too. Many bookstores don't have as many books as this one."

Luo Qingzhou said nothing more, cupped his hands, and prepared to leave.

Song Zixi said quickly, "By the way, Mr. Luo, there will be a poetry meeting in a few days, which will be held in the pleasure boat on the Moshui River. Yu Lan and I have said that we will invite Mr. Luo to go with us. I hope Mr. Luo can do us the honor."

Luo Qingzhou bowed and declined, "Sorry, Miss Song, I have been studying at home recently and don't have much time. Besides, I am not interested in that kind of occasion."

Song Zixi smiled and said, "It's okay. It's at night and won't delay your study time during the day. I will go to your house and call Wei Mo to join us. Even if you don't accompany us, you should accompany Wei Mo, right? She is so weak, are you sure she can go out alone? Anyway, she must have thought about going out for a breath of fresh air a long time ago. If I tell her, she will definitely be very interested."

Luo Qingzhou said nothing more, bowed, and left.

Song Zixi turned her head and looked at his back, her eyes flickering slightly.

The girl next to him asked curiously, "Zixi, is he the man you told Yu Lan about who married into the Qin Mansion? He looks handsome and has a good temperament. If those poems you mentioned were really written by him, it would be a pity."

Song Zixi turned around and smiled faintly, "It's a pity... Let's go and read."

The two girls went to the bookshelf and flipped through the books.

Song Zixi glanced out the door.

A man stood in front of the stall opposite, and happened to look back at her, then left.

Luo Qingzhou bought five strings of candied haws and returned home.

Since everyone likes to eat them, buy more.

But he certainly wouldn't go to the trouble of giving away candied haws on his own initiative, so he took them back and put them at home. Whoever saw them would eat them, and whoever didn't see them would not eat them.

It would be best to let Xiaodie eat them alone.

But on the way, he met Zhu'er again.

Not long after returning to the courtyard, Qiu'er came over and said, "Son-in-law, can you give my young lady a string of candied haws? Zhu'er said that you bought a lot of candied haws, and the young lady wants to eat some."

Luo Qingzhou went to the house to get a string and handed it to her: "Miss Zhu'er, are you embarrassed to ask for it?"

Qiu'er laughed, said "Thank you, son-in-law" without saying much, and left.

Not long after.

Bai Ling also smelled the smell and came, looking angry, with her eyes full of resentment of not being satisfied.

But when Luo Qingzhou took the initiative to get her a string of candied haws, her face bloomed with a sweet smile again: "Son-in-law, I'll wait for you to pay respects to the young lady tonight, don't forget some things again."

After that, she happily took the candied haws back to show off.

After Luo Qingzhou saw her leave, he thought about it, took another string from the house, and sat in the courtyard.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the cold girl stood silently under the pear tree next to her, holding the sword like a ghost.

Luo Qingzhou was thinking about something at the time, and turned around to see a person under the pear tree, and was startled.

"Here, the last string."

Luo Qingzhou was speechless and handed over the candied haws in his hand.

The girl leaned sideways, holding her chest with both arms, holding the sword in her arms, her pretty face was as cold as ice, and when she heard the words, her pretty face turned away and her chin raised: "Hmph!"

"Please eat..."

The girl snatched it and was about to leave, but turned her head and looked into the house.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said: "No more, this is really the last string."

The girl looked at him coldly, suddenly turned around, went into the house, and then never came out again.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a while, and hurriedly followed in.

In the living room, the girl stood in front of the table with a sword, looking at the other two strings of candied haws on the table with cold eyes. When she saw him come in, she looked at him coldly again.

"Hey, why are there still two strings..."

Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said, "Well...one for me, one for Xiaodie, there are no more."

The girl still stood there motionless, staring at him with cold eyes.

"Okay...I won't eat it anymore."

Luo Qingzhou had to take another string and handed it to her: "I'll give you one."

The girl still didn't move.

"Oh, please..."

"Hmph!"

The girl snorted coldly, snatched it, and then took the two strings of candied haws and walked away.

Too much!

Luo Qingzhou secretly complained in his heart, thought about it, and quickly picked up the remaining string, put it in Xiaodie's room, and hid it.

If Bailing saw Xia Chan taking two strings back, she would probably come over and yell again.

Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to stay in the house any longer, so he left the yard, locked the yard door, and went directly to the bottom of the lake to practice.

Sure enough.

Soon, Bai Ling came to the door angrily with an empty bamboo stick in her hand, licking the remaining sugar juice on it.

When she saw the iron lock on the door, she pouted and stamped her feet in anger, saying, "Stinky son-in-law! Bad son-in-law! He deliberately gave Chanchan two strings and let that girl take them back to piss me off! I'm so pissed! Don't even think about being naughty with her tonight!"

It was evening soon.

Bailing changed into beautiful clothes, dressed up carefully, and went to the flower garden to pick a newly opened flower.

Then she stood at the door of the front yard, leaning against the door frame, and boredly admired the moonlight.

The moonlight is nice tonight.
