Amid the rumors, Wu Jin handled the family affairs in an orderly manner, bought a cake shop, bought a two-room house in Baishiqiao, and asked his younger brother to work as an apprentice in a sugar shop.
He calmly controlled everything in the family, and at the same time gathered up the Mo family's property bit by bit to prevent it from being too big and being found in invisible places where people could take advantage of it.
He is as stable as a rock, but the rumors outside have not stopped at all.
One evening, Wang Jinghua came out of Tunan Academy, shook his Xichuan folding fan, opened his mouth and said, "Wu Jin is also a shameless person. He actually went to the Mo family. He knows nothing about learning and only makes fuss about women. It's really dirty."
Sun Jing had already agreed, his mouth was dry, and he had nothing to say at this time, so he could only say "hmm" perfunctorily.
Wang Jinghua said as he walked: "He is good at handwriting. Needless to say, he must have passed the math questions in advance with Qi Wenbing."
Sun Jingre's orifices were filled with smoke, and he nodded and said, "That's right."
He pointed to the shop and said, "Let's go in and drink rock sugar water."
After hearing this, Wang Jinghua also decided to drink a bowl to moisten his throat. He talked loudly, walked over, picked a camphor wood table and chair, sat down, and ordered two bowls of rock sugar lychee water.
The rock sugar lychee floated on the water very fast, and the edge of the bowl was covered with tiny water droplets. There was a hint of cold air on the bowl. Sun Jing picked up the bowl and took two sips. Wang Jinghua swallowed his saliva, and without caring about being polite, he picked up the bowl and opened it. With a big mouth, he drank it all in one gulp and put down the bowl. There was not a drop left in the bowl.
Sun Jing quickly drank the rest and said with a smile, "Let's have another bowl."
Wang Jinghua waved his hand and asked for two more bowls. With this bowl of cold drink as a base, his conversation became more and more exciting, and he kept talking without leaving Wu Jin.
Sun Jing sat aside, humming along while drinking rock sugar water. After finishing the second bowl, he suddenly saw Cheng Ting.
Cheng Ting and Shi Yuan went into the foot shop and patted Shi Yuan on the shoulder as they walked: "You are still well-informed about the news on the dock. Thanks to you this time. Let's drink a bowl of rock sugar water to cool down first. I'll invite you to go another day -"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Sun Jing first, and after saying "Yuhua Street", he moved his eyes to Wang Jinghua's back, and heard Wang Jinghua croaking non-stop, all talking bad about Wu Jin.
Sun Jing quickly lowered his head, patted Wang Jinghua's arm, and whispered: "Cheng San."
Wang Jinghua immediately shut up, stood up, turned around, looked at Cheng Ting, raised his head, looked at the person through his nostrils, and at the same time snorted two rough breaths from his two thick nostrils to show his disdain, and walked out.
Cheng Ting stretched out his arms to block Wang Jinghua's path: "Wait."
He stared at Wang Jinghua: "Did you just say that Wu Jin's knowledge is not as good as yours?"
He turned to look at Shi Yuan: "This is the first time I heard someone boasting so much."
Wang Jinghua was a little afraid that Cheng Ting would make a move, so he pushed him away and walked out until he reached the street. Then he turned back and cursed: "I'm not wrong. If he is really capable, if you let him take the Chunwei exam before me, I will kneel down immediately." Admit your mistake!”
"You damn toad, you clearly know-"
"What do I know? I don't know anything! He doesn't dare, he just doesn't have the ability, he just has something fishy!"
Cheng Ting saw him spitting feces in the street, and immediately stepped out and said angrily: "Shut your stinky mouth!"
Wang Jinghua took a few steps back, keeping a distance where he could escape at any time: "Aren't you going to let anyone talk anymore?"
Seeing more and more people gathered around him, he immediately raised his voice and said in a high voice: "Wu Jin is just a cunning villain! What Jieyuan!"
He spat hard on the ground: "Bah!"
Cheng Ting rushed forward and was about to start a fight. Shi Yuan saw that there were many people, and he was afraid that others would say that Cheng Ting was taking advantage of Cheng Zhifu's power to bully others, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Wang Jinghua was still trying to die, patting his chest and shouting: "Fight! You!" If you dare, beat me to death!"
Sun Jing knew Cheng Ting was really like this, so he desperately pulled Wang Jinghua, wishing he could cover his big mouth.
Cheng Ting couldn't reach Wang Jinghua with his fist, so he used the power of his mouth and cursed Wang Jinghua. He started talking about Wang Jinghua's private matters such as not being enlightened at the age of four and wetting the bed at the age of ten, and then to Wang Jinghua forcing Qi Wenbing away and cheating on the Xun examination. , all aspects prove that Wang Jinghua is a bad person.
His voice was loud, his speed was fast, and his words were dense. Every word was a weapon, directed at Wang Jinghua. Even if Wang Jinghua squashed his words of defense, he couldn't get in the way of the cannonballs in the court's mouth.
Wang Jinghua's angry face was ferocious. When Cheng Ting continued to speak, his face was completely gone. He immediately grabbed the scissors from a flower vendor and tried to cut Cheng Ting's mouth into pieces.
What the hell is this!
Cheng Tingyang grabbed the scissors with his hand and slapped him with his backhand - but Wang Jinghua ran away, leaving him in vain.
When Cheng Ting lived to this age, he met a natural enemy like Wang Jinghua. He felt that this man was very evil and ingenious - he was not a bad guy who killed people and set fires. He only talked behind his back, fanned the evil wind, and lit will-o'-the-wisps. Everything within a mile of his body was smitten by him. A stirring smog.
Moreover, this person is unrepentant. If he was beaten today, he will do it again tomorrow. He is really mean and makes Cheng Ting angry.
Facing this kind of person, even if you win, you will feel sick in your heart.
Seeing that Wang Jinghua was about to escape, Cheng Ting gave chase. The two officials' sons flew over eaves and walls on the street, knocking over countless dustpans and burdens. The fruits and melons rolled all over the ground, and the flowers were trampled into mud.
Shi Yuan and Sun Jingzhui were panting. They didn't know that these two people had the ability to fly on grass and jump so far in one go.
Amidst the bursts of exclamations, a group of horse hooves suddenly came galloping towards him. Shi Yuan took a closer look and saw that it was a group of women's soldiers. He immediately realized that it was Mo Lingfeng returning to the city from the fort. He felt happy when he saw the horse again. He came in a hurry and shouted: "Cheng San! Horse! Stop quickly!"
Cheng Ting chased after him, and when he heard Shi Yuan's cry, he slowed down. When he looked up, he saw the mighty war horse, its armor dazzling, and its crimson gauze shirt fluttering into a large red cloud, flooding the street.
He was overjoyed and stopped, thinking: "Damn toad, Leaf Wind is back, just wait!"
Wang Jinghua fled in front, running very fast, his ears were filled with the whistling of the wind, and his eyes were blurred with sweat. For a moment, he could not clearly see what was coming ahead. He only felt that the surroundings suddenly became silent, followed by screams one after another.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, and then he saw the horse's hooves very close to him.
Amid everyone's exclamations, Mo Lingfeng suddenly tightened the bridle and stopped moving forward. The white horse was running very fast. Amid the sudden tug, it hissed loudly in the wind, and hot air spurted out from its nostrils. The hoof raised up, almost knocking Mo Lingfeng off the horse.
Mo Lingfeng stepped firmly on the stirrups, clamped the horse's belly with her legs, tightened the reins, and sat firmly on the horse's back. The red sun setting in the west was right behind her, reflecting her into a radiant silhouette.
The onlookers were silent for a moment, as if they had seen the heroic figure of the Detachment of Women on the battlefield. The balls of yellow sand and the angry wind were hidden in Mo Lingfeng's raised sleeves.
