"The princess is a wealthy woman, and our generals don't care about it. But you want to give a girl from a small family to the general. You are simply insulting our general. General Xie is angry. He will punish you with twenty military sticks." For the light ones, according to the laws of Daqi, those who insult the imperial officials will be punished. The men will be sent to work in the bitter cold and the women will be sold into slavery!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangshen's face turned pale on the spot, and he collapsed to the ground in fear.
All that's left is kowtow and begging for mercy...
Next to him, the security chief secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat.
Suddenly I was very grateful to Mr. Wang. If he hadn't been clearing mines in front of me, I would have been the one kneeling on the ground scared out of my mind!
Squire Wang, I thank you for being the eighteenth generation of your family!
Here, Wang Xiangshen was kneeling on the ground, using his remaining sense, he raised his hands and slapped his face hard.
Bang bang bang...
The sound was loud and clear, making the eyes of the security chief and several other squires present jump.
But the two lieutenants Zhou Xie didn't blink an eyelid. Obviously, this kind of thing was nothing to the two of them who broke out from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Vice General Zhou continued: "Seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I might as well give you a few more words."
"Don't have those wishful thinking in the future. Our general protecting the country already has a wife at home."
"Furthermore, our general and his wife have a deep love for each other. Today, the general turned down the banquet and hurried back just to see his wife. Although our wife is not from a wealthy family, she is still an extremely remarkable woman, and even more so. She is a woman that the general loves and respects, so please don’t bother us, the general’s wife, with those things that are not on the table!”
After Deputy Zhou finished speaking, the huge elegant room fell into silence for an instant, so quiet that one could hear an embroidery needle falling to the ground.
…
Zhao family, the home of Bao Chang.
When the security chief returned home with a gloomy face, he had just sat down in the main room and hadn't had time to take a sip of the tea made by his mother-in-law.
A bright red figure flew from the backyard like a fiery butterfly. The bun of her hair was combed again, and she wore many bright jade hairpins.
The face has also been carefully traced, with red lips and white teeth, bright and bright, and full of youthful vitality and public joy.
If it were normal, the security guard would definitely appreciate this proud baby girl.
But right now... my knees are still weak!
Zhao Min'er didn't pay attention to the eyes of the Dao Bao Elder. She rushed to the Bao Zhang like a butterfly, and asked a little shyly: "Dad, how are things going? The General Protector... "
"Shut up!" The security guard suddenly interrupted Zhao Min'er.
Zhao Min'er was stunned for a moment, and looked up in confusion at her mother who was sitting across the table with an encouraging face.
At this time, her mother was also confused, so she looked at Baozhang.
"Dad Min'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking to our daughter like this?" the woman asked a little displeased.
"That great general who protects the country..."
"Don't mention the General Protector again, don't mention that matter again!" The security chief interrupted the woman again.
The woman looked surprised.
Here, Zhao Min'er was unhappy. She raised her foot and stamped on the ground, causing the beaded hairpin ring on her body to jingle for a while.
"Dad, what are you doing? It was you who woke me up from bed this morning and made me dress up to meet Luo Fengtang. You want to be his son-in-law."
"I didn't see anyone else at that time, so I thought he was an ugly guy with a big beard, so I didn't bother to talk to him."
"Now that my daughter, I have seen him in person, I am willing to follow your arrangements to get close to him, but you say this, what do you mean?" Zhao Min'er said angrily.
For more than two hours since she came back, she has been hiding in the house to dress up.
I changed my clothes one after another, changed my hair buns one after another, and used all the best rouge and gouache I bought in the county last time. Dressed up like this...
The security chief frowned even more when he looked at his woman's attire, "Go back to the house and wash yourself quickly. The general protecting the country is a powerful person, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can reach."
"I'm going back to the house to wash my face and wake myself up!"
As the security chief said, he stood up and was about to walk to the backyard. Unexpectedly, Zhao Min'er raised her hand and brushed a tea bowl on the table to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Bao Zhanghei asked, his face darkening.
Zhao Min'er frowned, and her pretty face turned red: "Dad, you went back on your word. It was you who asked me to see him. Now that I have seen him, you throw cold water on me again. Huh, since you backed down, then I will do it myself." Go find him, I don’t believe that he won’t be tempted by my majestic Qingshui Town flower, a hundred acres of farmland, a shop and so on!”
After saying these words, Zhao Miner was about to run out of the main room, but the security guard pulled her back with a quick stride.
"Nonsense!" He shouted, raised his hand and slapped Zhao Min'er on the face.
This slap was unambiguous, clear and loud, and Zhao Miner's little face suddenly became red and swollen.
She covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief, tears falling like beans.
The security guard's wife was also stunned. Now she came back to her senses and hurried forward to protect her daughter in her arms, and then scolded the security guard.
"Girls are meant to be hurt, not to be beaten. What if such a beautiful face is damaged?" the woman said distressedly.
The chief security officer stamped his feet anxiously and said, "How beautiful are we? No matter how good-looking we are, without any background, in the eyes of the dignitaries, we are no different from those mud-legged people digging in the dirt!"
Then, in a few words, the security guard told the couple what happened to Squire Wang at the previous banquet.
"Fortunately, Lao Wang said it before me, otherwise, I would be the one who stepped on the thunder." Baochang said with lingering fear.
Zhao Miner, mother and daughter, looked at each other and were both dumbfounded.
The security guard let out a long sigh, looked at the red marks on his daughter's face, and said, "What happened today is because of my father's fault. He gave you hope but disappointed you. Min'er, from now on, keep your sights on the world." Let’s go a little lower, you’re sixteen too, pick a similar family, a well-matched one, and marry early, a good husband and a good parent.”
"But, dad..."
Zhao Min'er called out loudly from time to time, but hesitated to speak.
After seeing someone as absolutely gorgeous as Luo Fengtang, she can no longer hold other men in her eyes. What should she do?
The security chief sighed sadly again and said: "We people have to accept our fate. Okay, let's end this matter now. If we want our family to live peacefully, no one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future!"
"I drank a little too much at noon. Mother Min'er, go get a basin of water and I'll wash my face and lie down for a while!"
The Baozhang and his wife returned to the backyard, leaving Zhao Min'er standing there alone, wanting to cry but without tears.
The heart that had not been touched for sixteen years finally moved, but two hours later it was completely broken, piece by piece...
