The mansion of the county magistrate.
A woman is leading a man, no, she is tying up a man, her hands are tied, and one end of the rope is held by the woman, just like a rich lady holding a slave, but the man is not a slave, but Li Zhao.
The woman is naturally the Jun Cheng's daughter Yan'er.
Yan'er was afraid that Li Zhao would escape, so she tied him up. Li Zhao didn't resist. He saw that the woman had no evil intentions and was just trying to vent her anger.
In fact, such behavior is also common. Some disobedient slaves are often tied up by their masters and run away. At this moment, to outsiders, Li Zhao is just a slave. I don't know where the lady bought the slave.
Yan'er didn't explain either.
When Jun Cheng saw his daughter back, he felt relieved. He just glanced at Li Zhao casually and focused on his daughter.
"Yan'er, where have you been? My father is very anxious."
What was greeted was not a scolding, but harmony, which showed that the relationship between father and daughter was not bad, but very close.
"Father, don't worry. My daughter just went out for a walk and brought someone back with her."
In the eyes of Jun Cheng, this person should be a slave, and he felt relieved. If only this man wasn't a personal friend of his daughter, he would be able to face the county magistrate.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. That young master Cui will come to propose marriage tomorrow." Jun Cheng was impatient and turned to business before he could say a few words. However, Yan'er stopped him before he finished speaking, "I don't like him." , let him go."
Not polite at all, it can be described as unruly.
This is very painful for the county magistrate. He can't force his daughter, but he can't offend the county magistrate either. It's a dilemma on both ends.
"Daughter, Master Cui is actually a good-looking man. I'll feel at ease if you marry him and become your father."
"Impossible, this young lady can't look down on her." Even when facing her father, Yan'er didn't show weakness and looked strong.
This made the county magistrate so worried that he was so anxious that he suddenly went crazy and rushed towards the pillar. "How do you tell me how to face the county magistrate as a father? It's better to die."
No one can stop him.
"Master, how could you?" The servants next to him stopped him. Yan'er was faster and grabbed Jun Cheng's back and pulled him back.
This action was all too familiar to her.
"Father, you win, I just listen to you." Yan'er pouted, looking very unhappy. After letting go of Jun Cheng's back, she turned around.
This was her father's trick. She had seen too much, but she couldn't just watch her father hit the wall, so she could only compromise.
"Really?" Jun Cheng immediately changed his face, looked at his daughter with bright eyes, and confirmed again and again.
Yan'er nodded, but also put forward a condition: "My daughter will not marry an incompetent person. If she really wants to marry her, she must pass three tests."
"Which three tests?" The county magistrate did not refuse. After all, he wanted to marry his daughter. Master Cui was really talented and he would be happy to win over his daughter. If he couldn't win, he would have an explanation when facing the county magistrate.
"The first level is poetry, the second level is arithmetic, and the third level is horse riding."
"Win two out of three games. If he is better than his daughter, he wins, and his daughter will marry him."
Yan'er's tone was tough and there was no room for negotiation. The county magistrate muttered and left, perhaps looking for the county governor.
In fact, he knew very well about Master Cui's character. Even if he was a playboy, he didn't want his daughter to marry such a person.
It was only because of the pressure from the county governor that she had no choice but to agree to his proposal of marriage. At this moment, her daughter made such a condition but had no intention of rejecting Master Cui's proposal of marriage, so she was not disobeying the county governor.
As for whether Master Cui can defeat his daughter, that is impossible. His daughter is known far and wide for her talent, and is good at both arithmetic and poetry. On the contrary, Master Cui is an uneducated person. Even when it comes to horseback riding, his daughter is not very proficient. , but much better than Master Cui.
If the county governor agrees, it will be equivalent to indirectly rejecting the proposal of marriage, the best of both worlds.
After seeing her father leave, Yan'er's face immediately darkened, she looked at Li Zhao angrily and shouted: "Come here, lock him up, I will torture him."
The servants were a little baffled by the young lady's sudden temper. Although she was unruly, her heart was kind. This was a well-known fact, so how could she torture others?
However, they didn't ask carefully, so someone took Li Zhao away and imprisoned him in a side room.
Li Zhao smiled bitterly. He had never seen such a moody person. Fortunately, although this woman spoke a little harshly, she was not abusive to him. The side room was elegant and suitable for people to live in.
Otherwise, he would have to treat her. Anyway, when he got here, anyone would know where this place was. It was not difficult to find Xianyang.
The side room has an elegant feel, with paintings on the walls, books on the desk, a faint scent of sandalwood that hits your nostrils from time to time, and the floor has been swept clean. You can tell at a glance that this is the place where the woman has been.
"It's strange, women's scholarly taste is very rare."
It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent, and women rarely study. But from this private room, it is clear that there is no such vulgarity. There are paintings on the wall, she is an elegant person, and there are books on the desk, she is a talented person.
The woman said she was being abused verbally, but in reality it was not the case. At this moment, a servant brought a meal, which included meat and wine. It was extremely rich. Li Zhao gained another view of the woman.
Don't mean what you say.
He smiled, picked up the wine, and drank it all.
"Hey! This wine." Li Zhao was startled, picked up Jue, brought it up to his nose and sniffed it, and then he was greatly impressed by it.
This wine is produced by Shanglin Garden. It is pure and fragrant, and has a higher alcohol content than ordinary ones. Only Shanglin Garden can brew such wine.
In fact, he didn't care much about brewing, and left everything to his uncle.
Now it seems that my uncle has opened up the wine market and sells it to various places.
When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine are too little; when you drink alone, you are half sober.
Drinking this wine will make you miss me, and you will be promoted just for the feelings in your heart.
As he drank, Li Zhao couldn't help but be pretentious, and his thoughts flowed into his heart. Every scene of that scene emerged, and he was unwilling to give in! He is suffering!
After finally finding the news about Yin Man, he was pushed down the valley and lost the opportunity to find Yin Man. He was unhappy and begged.
Is Yin Man in the sea of flowers? Can she escape the sea of fire? Without the White Flower Valley, where will she go?
There is a kind of concern called silent longing and secret searching.
He only wanted to find her in this life, but she was far away, which only increased his sadness.
"Yinman, how are you?"
The thoughts are inexplicably sentimental.
Li Zhao drank, his face turned red, his steps staggered, he didn't know what prompted him to open the door, and stumbled out.
But he muttered in his mouth: "When will I have wine and sing joyfully? People laugh at me for being crazy and I am partial to being crazy. I don't know if I have wine, I will eventually get drunk. When wine makes me sad, I will be even more sad."
"Drink! Haha!"
Li Zhao laughed heartily and raised his glass to invite the moon, but he felt an inexplicable sadness, but no one knew about it, no, someone knew about it.
While he was talking about it, a woman who was walking here was startled and started to say: "When will I have wine and sing joyfully? People laugh at me for being crazy and I am crazy. I don't know if I have wine, I will eventually get drunk. Wine will make me sad." Worse?"
"What a poem, what a poem!"
This woman is Yan'er.
