The return journey was safe and sound.

    In the past, Father Cheng, who was a fake public servant, led the army to open the way, and then Mrs. Xiao's war-torn guards opened the way. Second place, claiming that the same number of people has never broken the defense line.

    But the closer they get to the capital, the more grievances Shaoshang and Lou Yao get.

     

    Don't talk about traveling in the mountains and waters, even horses are not allowed to ride too much. The brand-new gold-red limousine was pitifully hung behind the car, and the young merchants could hear its cries. Being in the delicate and stable carriage, keeping to all the etiquette of a lady, she was almost bored. The warm and comfortable light honey-colored skin that has just been acquired in the past few months has quickly returned to a famine-like paleness after being held in the carriage all the way.

    Mrs. Xiao is not against her daughter's horseback riding. She is both civil and military, and she is very much in favor of girls learning how to bow and horse, but once she puts her daughter on the horse, she will definitely go hand in hand with the Lou family boy Side-by-side, laughing without restraint. The capital is already approaching, and the flow of people on the official road is getting more and more dense.

    Shao Shang originally wanted to ask Father Cheng to plead for mercy, but he would have annoyed his father because he had been too protective of his fiancé. Before he got married, he didn't even touch Mrs. Xiao's hand. What else did Shuzi, surnamed Lou, want to do? !

      Sweet and fragrant dried peaches.

      "

      He smiled like a big ripe peach, and said, "This place is not far from the capital. If you like it, I will often ask someone to buy it for you in the future!"

    The little businessman raised his beautiful and delicate eyebrows like a bird, but he deliberately said with a thin anger: "You too, can't you ask the family to buy it? Even running it in person, you are exhausted! Let me see, eh, my temples are all sweaty! Come on, let me wipe it!"

    Then Young Master Lou obediently put his head over and let his fiancée reach out from the car to wipe the sweat, looking at the clear smile of Young Merchant Meiyan, he happily almost hit the roof of the car.

    "Oh, that's not possible. You're sweating so much on your face, you're not sure how much sweat you're sweating! Go back to your car, change your clothes and come out again!" Shaoshang looked worried color.

    Lou Yao didn't say a word, the girl stared at her big beautiful eyes, pouted her red mouth, and said softly: "You don't listen to me, then I will Don't talk to you! If you get sick from the cold because of this, I will never eat dried peaches in my life!" As he spoke, he threw the dried fruit box out of the car.

    How dare Lou Yao be disobedient, and immediately go back to change clothes.

    "Hey, wait a minute, come and have a slice... Come on, open your mouth, eh, it's so sweet?" The girl picked up the dried fruit with a bamboo stick and stretched it out of the car, Lou Yao took it in one bite Going, Le Dian Dian hurriedly rode away, and when he was dizzy, he rode his own carriage, and after returning to his senses, he rode back four or five feet in embarrassment.

    Mrs. Xiao, who was riding on the side of the horse, watched this scene and secretly shook her head and sighed.

    In her eyes, her niece Cheng Cha has a warm temperament, takes the overall situation into consideration, is not sharp and does not make sex, and is kind and amiable, but these precious qualities are compared with the liveliness of her daughter. , all overshadowed.

    She is also a past person, how can she not know that in the eyes of a vigorous young man, Cheng Cha is just a reliable case table, strong and durable, while Shao Shang is a bright moon, intoxicating The spring breeze, the soul-stirring sea of ​​clouds and fog.

    What's more, she now knows that her daughter is not only a coquettish girl but not a servant.

    Compared with her niece, what her daughter lacks is only common sense and rules. She took a lot of effort to let Cheng Cha know how to deal with the favor and power, but as a result, the young businessman did not learn from the teacher, and managed the entire medical house in an orderly manner, driving the many medical apprentices and servants to work hard.

    The post-disaster reconstruction needs money everywhere. Every doctor who worked from beginning to end would get a volume of white silk documents written by Cheng Zhiqin before leaving, which described how he was kind and generous in his medical care, how he was diligent in serving his duties without shirk, and at the end he added a county cover. Order the official seal to show the award.

    Even her daughter used the money left in the money box to buy Wu Zhu, and from time to time, she came to the doctor's house to set up a altar for divination. Today, it is counted that this dear friend will save the dying day and night, and the next life will be There will be good fortune, and there will be great wealth and noble children and grandchildren; the day after tomorrow, when the injured person is innocently murdered, Heavenly Dao is not angry, and the blessings that have not been enjoyed in this life will be doubled in the next life... Not only inspires everyone's fighting spirit, but also comforts With mourning, kill two birds with one stone.

    Mrs. Xiao sighed again—

    Besides, Lou Yao is not the eldest son. The eldest son's clan wife needs to be stable and decent, and the youngest bride is lively and troublesome. What's more, she has a good relationship with her son. She imagined that if Cheng Zhu wanted to marry such a bride, she would probably agree.

    In truth, this marriage was basically earned by the daughter, and she and her husband climbed to the in-laws of the aristocratic family without any effort. According to the sorcerer, such a daughter was simply reincarnated to pay off her debts. Her parents had not raised her before, and then she would settle the marriage on her own without worrying about it.

    Mrs. Xiao shook her head with a wry smile. She did not like to ask God for divination since she was a child, but now she has begun to believe this.

    The young businessman in the car was eating snacks triumphantly. In fact, she had faintly felt that she had a talent for acting before.

    It was impossible to be stubborn and stubborn in her hometown. After entering the university, she knew that there must be hidden dragons and crouching tigers in first-class universities, and all kinds of academic masters and second-generation X were gathered, and the water was unfathomable, so she quickly cultivated herself. , with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, pretending to be a beautiful little girl from the Jiangnan water town, all day long, she pretends to be quiet, cute and motivated. The result, does it count as catching a salted fish president with a good family background and a few miscellaneous fish in the department?

    Thinking of this, Shaoshang felt a pain in her heart again. She died without taking a bite of such a high-quality big fish. What kind of bad luck is this? Demolition of fish head and fish meat to drink fish soup is not good enough. She has actually been tweaking it for two or three years? Now that she thinks about it, she can't wait to beat herself up, it's true that her first love, Bai Yueguang, killed people!

    For example, Ms. SMS, before she graduated, six orchard owners, seven fish pond owners, and eight demolition households came to propose marriage to her family! Her parents worry every day why polyandry is illegal in China!

     

    At this time, the sky was getting dark, and half of the schedule had already sent the army to the Panqing camp on the outskirts of the capital in advance, and then brought the guards with his family to join his wife and daughter, planning to enter the city and return together. Family. When he was less than ten miles away from the capital, Cheng Shi wanted to say goodbye to his future husband-in-law.

    The Cheng family's mansion is closer to the south gate of the capital city, while the Lou family's mansion is easier to walk through the north gate. To get home, it may be curfew by then. The straight official road runs from the west to the city wall on the west side of the capital. The two families are separated here, just enough to pass through the north and south gates.

    Lou Yao knew that he couldn't dodge this time, so he had to follow his own team a few steps back and drove away.

    Cheng Shi looked at Lou Yao's reluctant expression and felt unhappy, and then looked back to see his daughter holding the car window with tears in her hands, and she was even more angry. He couldn't help but said sourly: "Yuyou took his head back! We've only known each other for a few days, and it's like parting from life and death. Why don't you see you so reluctant to go to Qingzhou for your father?!"

    Short commercial silk handkerchief pressed the corners of his eyes and muttered, "What did my father say, I was about to leave Sili when you went to Qingzhou. Don't you have a hard time with your mother before you get married? When you gave up? Didn’t your grandfather feel sorry for you? Can’t you compare your heart to your heart!”

    Cheng Shi coughed a few times and said in his heart: Really not.

    He was promoted directly from an admirer who the daughter of the Xiao family was unfamiliar with to a husband. It took less than five days in total, of which three days were to help bury his future father-in-law, Taigong Xiao. Get along after marriage.

    Cheng Shi glanced at his wife, who was far in front of the convoy, and said with a stern face, "Retract your head and stay inside!" ! The youngest couple who hates pre-marriage love the most! He was trembling in front of the Xiao family at that time, for fear that when she would realize that she would regret the marriage.

      Looking down at the city.

    Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao were going to go forward to deliver the order to the city guard to the young guard, but they saw the tall vermilion copper nail gate tightly closed, and the sharp arrowheads faintly behind the city head , Huge braziers were lit at every barrier on the city wall.

    Mrs. Xiao said: "The situation is not right!"

      , entry and exit are not allowed; the villain dared to ask General Cheng to take a break in the suburban village, and it will be all right until tomorrow."

    Cheng Shi was angry, and said loudly: "What's the matter, I'm going back to the capital, can't I enter?!"

    The voice behind the city head continued: "General, don't embarrass the villain, the top is strictly ordered!"

    Cheng Shi clenched his fists, hammered the saddle of the horse angrily, and said to his wife in a low voice: "The martial law at the city gate is mostly to take people, that is allowed to enter and not to go out. Only these few people, what can they do when they enter the city?! Could it be that when we sneaked in, it wasn’t the two armies fighting! Hmph, it’s just that I’m from a poor family, and I’m not a high-ranking official, so it’s okay to be despised. Here, see if they can open the city gate!"

    Mrs. Xiao rode over, stroked her husband's generous back lightly, and simply said, "Don't worry about it, let's go to Bie Zhuang to rest." Cheng Shi nodded. Angry returns anger, he will not do such a thing as forcibly breaking into the city gate.

    The husband and wife immediately ordered the convoy to turn around and head towards the suburban village. Shao Shang was also sullen when he found out about it. He wondered if all the city gates were under martial law and whether Lou Yao had entered the city. Unexpectedly, the convoy hadn't walked a few steps, only to hear the huge city gate behind him, and the city gate actually opened.

     

    This light cavalry of hundreds of people is like a sword drawn out of its sheath, slashing through the quiet city gate, and quickly wiped the entire family caravan.

    At this time, it seemed that someone in the cavalry shouted, 'It seems to be the team of Cheng Xiaowei's family', and rode at the forefront, surrounded by a general who was surrounded by front, back, left and right riding guards. He turned around and rode back to the Cheng family's team. The hundreds of light cavalry behind him also followed the coach back and rode like a stream of water.

     Cheng Shi and his wife, who were still depressed, were shocked when they saw this situation. The couple looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

    In an instant, the young general wearing a silver-colored gray feather cloak had already rode in front of him, Cheng Shi clearly saw the face of the person who came, and clasped his hands dumbly: "Ling...sir..." Although this man He was young, but he had a lot of leadership, and he didn't know which official title to call for a while.

    Ling Buxuan handed over and replied, "Xiaowei Cheng!"

    Cheng Shiyu concludes.

    He and Ling Budo had met, but they had never spoken or had friendship. Just as he was about to say a few words of greetings first, it was over, but he saw Ling Budo go straight to the carriage behind him. He and Mrs. Xiao were stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

    Ling Budo saw the eye-catching little gold-red limousine at a glance, rode to the side of the cab, and called softly, "Shaoshang, Shaoshang, are you inside?"

    Shao Shang was suffocating in the car, when he heard a familiar voice, he quickly removed the grille of the car window, stretched his head and looked up, and saw the young and handsome general riding on a tall steed, with a face like jade White, eyes as clear as amber.

    "Sir Ling, why are you here?!" She was surprised, and she saw the hundreds of light riders surrounding the Cheng family caravan, frowning slenderly, "You are going to arrest the criminal again. Okay, is the injury on your shoulder healed?"

    Ling Budo looked down at the girl, smiled softly, and said, "Everything is fine, thank you for drawing the arrow."

    At this time, Cheng Shi and his wife arrived on horseback.

    "Yu... Shao Shang, do you know Mr. Ling?" Comrade Old Cheng didn't know why he was laughing like this. Looking at his wife's face, he felt that it was better than his own laughing. Woolen cloth.

    His silly daughter smiled innocently and ignorantly: "Father, you don't know, Master Ling has saved my aunt and me! Also, also, Master Ling and the Lou family also The friendship is very thick, and Ayao is like his own brother!"

    Ling Budo's smile faded a little, and said, "You don't look good, are you sick again." Small buds on the branches, listless.

    Cheng Shi, who was beside her, wanted to say that, in fact, her daughter was born with this appearance.

     Shaoshang knew that Ling Budo had a high position, but she didn't want to trouble others. After all, the other party has helped and rescued several times. It doesn't matter, I just don't seem to have any strength, but it's actually fine."

    Ling Budo watched the girl hesitate for a moment, then pretended to be very excited, smiled very softly, and said: "You still have the strength to worry about me, it seems that it is nothing." He whispered to the guard beside him.

    Shao Shang: Well, I'm worried about him.

    Because she didn't have time to think about it, she looked closely, she recognized the guard, hehe, isn't this a general Zhang Pian who hasn't seen for a long time.

    Zhang Jian silently clenched his fists towards Ling Budo, and then quickly rode towards the city gate.

    Ling Budo said to Cheng Shiwen again: "Cheng Xiaowei should not take the middle and straight road after entering the city, just take the Yuyangli side road and go back to the house. As for what happened, the Xiaowei will ask Wan tomorrow. The general knows, don't come out tonight."

    Cheng Shizheng opened his mouth in a daze, and hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks.

    Ling Budo also bowed his hands very politely in return, his eyes warm and harmonious like a rising sun.

    For some reason, the old comrade Cheng looked at him with a guilty conscience and panic. He really wanted to shout, 'You know my silly daughter and Lou's youngest daughter are engaged'... courage.

    Ling Budo put a slender and powerful hand on the frame of the car, he bent his fair and graceful neck, and whispered into the car: "You have a good rest, I will see you in the future."

     Shao Shang hurriedly connected: "How can it be, it should be when you have time, brother, and I will see you with Ayao!"

    Ling Budo looked down, stopped talking, turned around to say goodbye to Cheng Shi and his wife, and then galloped forward again, and the light riders gathered around the convoy immediately followed. Like the wind and the clouds, hundreds of horses and horses ran clean.

    At this time, a guard of the city gate with a mouth full of oops ran out from the opened city gate, and the voice was the one who spoke lightly. At this moment, he smiled all over his face, repeated his guilt, and folded his waist to welcome the Cheng family motorcade into the city gate.

    Seeing that he was finally able to go home, Shaoshang was beaming, but seeing Father Cheng's mouth beside the car opening and closing, he never said anything, so he wondered: "Father, you What's wrong."

    Cheng Shi sighed: "Nothing, go home first."

    When he goes back, he will do three things.

    First of all, ask my daughter in detail who and what she has seen in the past few months. Don't let it go.

    Secondly, he wants to write a letter to scold his younger brother Cheng Zhi—what does he think of his niece? ! What's even more hateful is that the two of them didn't say anything to themselves and Yuan Yi? !

     

    Shao Shang noticed that Father Cheng was hesitating, and asked, "What are you talking about!"

    Cheng Shi waved his hand helplessly, and Mrs. Xiao suddenly said, "Curly, look back."

    Although Shao Shang felt strange, he still did as he did, only to see the two huge vermilion gates behind him slowly closing again.

    "What did you see?" asked Mrs. Xiao.

    Shao Shang felt inexplicable and said, "The city gate is closed again."

    Mrs. Xiao forced a smile, said nothing, and rode to the front of the convoy by herself.

    —No, you should see power. omnipresent power. And today you have only glimpsed the tiny corner of this boundless power vein.

    The author has something to say:

    1. I know that there are many second and third generations of X and three generations, and there are many privileges, but the fact is that compared with the ancient feudal hierarchical society, the current society is really a lot more equal.

    The feudal hierarchies in the East and the West are the power that oppresses people and is omnipresent.

    2. I hope this story will be driven by the characters rather than the plot.

    The heroine grew up in a conservative town with gossip and rumours. She was sensitive and irritable since she was a child. In this case, she only needs to be a little bit selfish to anyone who is beyond her reach. If you are passionate, you will be ridiculed by the whole town, so in your previous life, you never dared to imagine anything.

     Lou Yao is something the heroine thinks she can reach.

    3. Secondly, although the heroine is sharp, she has no ivory tower after all, and in fact, she was helped by the mayor's uncle and scholar's uncle along the way, plus she can read, in fact, she has not had a chance to feel it. Concrete concepts of society and power. Otherwise, she wouldn't leave the senior who has wealth and family background at her fingertips, and she still misses the neighbor boy she has a crush on.

    4. The heroine does not regard power as a cloud of smoke. She just hasn't felt it yet. It's not the same as the girls around you who are crying and wanting to marry who have nothing to marry, and who are useless no matter how family and friends persuade them.
