Chapter 92: Delicate and unable to save oneself [Thank you for your support! Once more!]
Most of the passersby just took a look, and after seeing that the few people were all wearing silk clothes and surrounding a woman, they all pretended not to see.
There were also those who liked excitement watching the fun on the side, but there was no intention to reach out and help.
There were also those who couldn't stand it and wanted to stand up for her, but were stopped by their own wives or elders.
Who knew what powerful figures were standing behind such richly dressed people?
Xu Zaijing sat on his horse and took a look. Just as he was about to let Qingyun handle it,
"Oh!!!"
Only a scream was heard from the alley.
A woman covered her clothes and ran out quickly.
She happened to pass in front of Xu Zaijing's horse, and the horse was almost startled!
The Xu family's horses continued to walk, blocking the road out of the alley.
The few young men who chased out were just blocked by the Xu family's horses from the fastest way to chase people.
Seeing the attire of the few people on the horses, the sensible young men swallowed the foul language that was about to come out and wanted to go around, but there were also those who didn't have eyes and wanted to scold.
After all, they were used to being arrogant in Bianjing.
Xu Zaijing pulled the reins slightly, and the horse he was sitting on stopped sensibly.
With a glance, the person who wanted to scold closed his mouth.
These few people had to take a detour for a short distance.
The person who screamed in the alley just now also walked out while rubbing his stomach,
"You little biting worm, singing plays in the troupe, what kind of high-mindedness are you pretending to be for the master!"
The woman had already run to the street, running and looking back. When she saw the noble youth who stopped his horse to help her block people, her eyes lit up, and her thoughts turned.
"Ying~"
This woman fell on the street, and after getting up, she hurriedly covered her clothes again,
The passersby watching the fun on the roadside, especially the men,
Some hurriedly turned their heads away, not looking at what shouldn't be looked at.
Some turned their heads away and secretly glanced a few times,
Most of them instantly had their eyes lit up.
"Wow!"
"Yo!"
"Tsk tsk, so big!"
"White!"
There were also people stroking their beards and scanning the woman who fell.
The reason was none other than,
When this woman got up just now, her clothes were slightly open, revealing a corner of the bulging bellyband inside.
The bellyband was emerald green, which set off the woman's fair skin, very seductive.
Plus, although this woman's appearance was not a stunning beauty, it was above average, especially a pair of eyes, which were very pitiful.
Looking at you, you could feel a sense of genuine emotion.
The playboy who was rubbing his stomach when he came out of the alley just now directly stopped the action of rubbing his stomach, his eyes staring straight.
"Hiss!!! Catch her for me! Little bitch, how can you be so seductive!"
"Must subdue you, you demon!"
"What are you looking at? Riding a horse and pretending, get out of the way for the master!"
Because she fell, the woman got up very slowly, as if she had fainted. Seeing the few people circling around, she leaned toward Xu Zaiduan's horse.
Xu Zaiduan could only rein in his horse and retreat.
Seeing someone stand up for her, the people in the crowd who couldn't stand it spoke up one after another.
And the woman covered her collar, brewed enough emotion, and looked at the Xu brothers pitifully and sorrowfully.
It felt quite like she had entered the state of singing a play, and the role was a down-and-out beauty saved by a hero.
However, no one applauded.
Because she did meet someone's gaze, but it was Xu Zaijing's eyes.
Xu Zaijing's eyesight was very good. He saw all the expressions of this woman within a few breaths, especially the one before she fell!
A woman fleeing for her life, where would she have time to look at the attire of the brothers?
Wasn't she busy running far away?
Therefore, when this woman looked at Xu Zaijing hoping to get pity, she met a pair of bright, mocking eyes, in which there was no pity, curiosity, or desire, only mockery.
This made the woman instantly stunned,
This was different from what she usually encountered on the stage!
Ignoring Xu Zaijing's eyes, the woman shouted: "Help, help! Hero, help!"
Xu Zaiduan looked a little absorbed. He raised his head and looked at his younger brother's eyes full of urging, and Xu Zaijing also looked at him.
Xu Zaiduan read the warning meaning from his younger brother's eyes, and also saw Xu Zaijing's slight shaking of his head.
"Whose family are you? Robbing a civilian woman in the street?" Qingyun scolded the few playboy youths on his horse.
"Me? My father is Li Gang, the commander of the Tianwu Army camp! I advise you, don't meddle in other people's business just because you have some money!"
Xu Zaijing glanced at his elder brother and said, "Is there such a person?"
"Yes, he drank the soldiers' blood and was dragged away."
"Oh."
"Go home and prepare for your father's funeral."
"You little beast, in your bird mouth..."
"Slap!"
The horse whip directly hit his face.
It hit him so hard that he covered his face, unable to speak from the pain.
Qingyun put away the horse whip and said: "Keep your mouth clean!"
The woman who stood up saw Qingyun's action,
Her eyes lit up even more.
Qingyun's attire was clearly that of a servant, but his actions were so arrogant. The son of the Tianwu Army commander was beaten as soon as he was beaten.
The few people who were with this Li Gang's son also had eyes and began to avoid them one after another.
"You guys also don't provoke this young lady anymore, lest you bring trouble upon yourselves for nothing!"
Qingyun glanced at Xu Zaijing, and Xu Zaijing tapped the horse's belly lightly and left the place.
That camp commander's son wanted to say something, but was pointed at the personal guards behind the Xu brothers by his companions who came over.
He could only leave sullenly, muttering in his mouth while leaving: "Thief bird, dare to curse my father! Hiss, so ruthless!"
Seeing his young master's action, Qingyun said on the horse:
"You young lady, the trouble has been driven away for you, why don't you leave quickly?"
This woman didn't pay attention to Qingyun,
She ran a few steps quickly to chase the Xu brothers and said:
"Young master! This slave thanks the young master for his help! Without the young master, this little woman would have lost her innocence! Great kindness and virtue, this little woman has nothing to... Young master! Wait for this slave!"
"Young lady, don't pester anymore, lest you bring trouble upon yourself," Qingyun said, and then rode his horse quickly to catch up with the few Hou Fu servants.
Xu Zaijing slowed down his horse in front, beckoned to Qingyun, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Qingyun nodded straight as he listened.
Seeing that she couldn't catch up, the woman slowed down her pace.
She begged for a hemp rope from the roadside, tied it around her waist to secure her clothes, looked at the direction, and actually followed.
Qingyun stopped his horse on the way, looking at the figure following from afar,
Tsked, and shook his head.
Then, Qingyun stopped his horse on the roadside and raised his chin to a few idlers in the crowd.
A few idlers knew that something was up and hurriedly gathered around.
Qingyun threw a few strings of copper coins, pointed behind him from afar, and said a few words to the leader.
The idler hurriedly took the money and nodded respectfully again and again.
Xu Zaijing and his elder brother arrived at Quyuan Street, entered the main gate, and saw the Gu family's carriage parked near the stable.
Arriving at the mistress's courtyard, they saw Qingcao chatting with Qingzhi at the door.
Seeing them coming, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Sister, when did you come?"
"Replying to the young master, just arrived not long ago."
The two brothers arrived at the main hall, saluted each other, and Xu Zaijing sat on a chair on the side, blinking at his mother and sister who were not speaking, signaling them to continue.
"So, the one in that courtyard has calmed down?"
"Yes, Mother. Your son-in-law said he is preparing for the metropolitan examination after the New Year, so he can't let others disturb him, so the whole Hou Fu has been very stable these days. However..."
"What's wrong?"
"Yi Jie'er has seen the Marquis less these days, and slowly misses her father a little."
"Sigh, what is this! During this time, your mother-in-law is also very depressed. You should go to comfort her more and don't add trouble to her!"
"Mother, don't worry, naturally it will be so."
"Elder brother, Xiao Wu, where did you go today?" Pingmei asked.
Xu Zaiduan said: "Let Mother say it."
"Your father has held a military post for a long time, and he has figured it out during this time. Today he is taking action to rectify it," Sun Shi said, looking at Pingmei.
Upon hearing this, Pingmei hurriedly asked: "I have also heard about this during this time. The Bao family, who is an in-law of the Huyan family, isn't he under Father's command? Is there anything bad this time?"
Xu Zaijing said: "Eldest sister, it's fine. That commander stepped on time to enter the main tent, he just rode his horse so much that his legs were a little trembling."
Pingmei looked at her mother and her elder brother, her eyes turned and she said: "Yes, there are still relatives who are related by marriage, it is indeed not easy to do things too absolutely."
Xie Shi looked at her husband and smiled slightly. When her father-in-law rode to the Tianwu Army, he notified the Bao family. To be able to catch up with the roll call, that General Bao must have galloped his horse.
Pingmei had a meal at the Xu family,
Sun Shi picked some good things rewarded by the Empress from the warehouse for Pingmei to take to the Gu family, and also invited Madam Bai to sit more at the Xu family.
The next day, the news that the Tianwu Army had been rectified spread throughout Bianjing.
In the twelfth lunar month, the New Year was coming, and quite a few officers were imprisoned and dealt with, and quite a few families were involved, which was not a small matter.
There were also a few families whose marriages changed because of this; some families had fallen, and some had risen.
With different family status, there were naturally changes.
There were also remonstrating officials who impeached Xu Minghua for looking for trouble at the end of the year.
Xu Minghua was just about to say something,
The Duke of England directly bowed in the court and asked the remonstrating official a question:
"Does war happen to pick a day?"
That official Ruan said: "It's the end of the year, can't you let them have a good New Year with their families?"
