"As for your son-in-law, no one will prepare horses for you."

An unfamiliar boy shouted to Bai Song, then waved his riding whip and rushed forward.

Everyone looked at Bai Song with a smile, but had no intention of paying attention.

Seeing that the team was about to throw Bai Song away, the last horse came up: "Brother-in-law, how about you ride mine, and I'll find another one."

It turned out to be Lin Xun, the young master of the Lin family, a poet who had great fame yesterday.

Having enjoyed the admiration of countless people, today he was so polite to ease the embarrassment of a son-in-law from a poor family.

Bai Song looked at Lin Xun and smiled: "Forget it, even if you give me a horse, I won't be able to ride it."

After saying that, looking around, Bai Song jumped directly onto the carriage where Xiang'er was, crowded together with the driver, opened the curtain, and shouted: "Xiang'er, I'm outside."

"You are so ignorant of the rules!"

Inside was Zheng Liangqiu's voice.

"Sister, calm down and just follow him."

Xiaocui also came up and got into the car curtain.

A son-in-law, mixed with a coachman, is a good match.

Everyone shook their heads, and the team finally set off officially.

It took an hour to get to Xiaoqingshan, and Miss Zheng felt a little uncomfortable sitting in the car.

The man outside beat his younger brother and is still recuperating in the Lin Mansion.

But this guy showed no regrets at all, and still sat proudly in his car.

As the son-in-law of the Lin family, he has no self-respect at all, and it is simply unseemly to be with the coachman.

"Xiang'er, who on earth is this! You don't understand the rules so well, I'm sorry you can tolerate it."

"Sister, don't blame me. He did lack some rules and annoyed my sister. I'll apologize to my sister."

"Who wants you to apologize?"

"Then I ask him to make amends to his sister?"

"It's more important than him! Who cares!"

"Then what does sister want?"

Zheng Liangqiu was so depressed that he went a little crazy: "Oh, Xiang'er, how can you always say hello to him? We haven't seen each other for just a few days? Why are you getting separated from your sister?"

At this time, Bai Song's voice came from outside: "Xiang'er and I are a family. Naturally, a family must talk like a family. If Xiang'er doesn't help me, how can he help you?"

Bai Song doesn't have any good impressions of the Zheng family.

So what if you look good?

There is hatred in my heart, no matter how good-looking she is, I still don't like her.

"you!"

"What's wrong with me? But to be honest, Ms. Zheng's family also beats people on the street, right?"

Several people spoke in low voices, but no one else heard them.

Xiang'er felt anxious and quickly pulled down the car curtain to block Bai Song's face.

Zheng Liangqiu, however, was covering her heart, her small chest rising and falling, and she was so angry.

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense! He has such a temper. Even my sister is often bullied by him."

"This guy is absolutely disgusting! He is your adopted son-in-law, and he dares to bully you? How can you tolerate this guy?"

"He is a little confused, but the engagement is a foregone conclusion. No matter how much we tolerate it, we have to tolerate it."

Xiang'er said in a depressed tone, but there was an unreasonable smile on her lips, which made her look even more delicate.

But Zheng Liangqiu didn't know what his sister was thinking, and became even more angry when he heard it: "How can this be done? With my sister's identity and beauty, how can I give up to a poor family? Besides, this guy has no rules and he is just a scoundrel!"

"Okay, sister, don't be angry with him anymore. If you want to scold or hit me, my sister will bear it for him."

Zheng Liangqiu was really speechless. He just said that this sister was too stupid and too good. If he found an opportunity in the future, he would definitely help her.



In a blink of an eye, the convoy had left the south of the city.

The south of the city is opposite to the Turkic border, and the city becomes more prosperous as you go south.

In terms of official roads alone, the official road in the south of the city is wider than the other three gates, and has more pedestrians and merchants coming and going.

After yesterday, most of the students who came to join in the fun at Xiao Suiping chose to leave.

Some have already left, and some are still lingering on the official road at the south gate of the city.

"Get out of the way! Xiaolin Shishen is here. You poor and untouchables, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

Relying on their prestige from yesterday, the gentry disciples did not shy away from provoking the poor students on the official path.

There were very few cases where nobles provoked poor families. In the past, most of them were too lazy to pay attention to them, and at the same time they felt guilty. Generally speaking, students from poor families were more practical than those from aristocratic families.

Today is a rare opportunity, and the nobles are not willing to let it go.

Lin Xun had a good time surrounded by people.

The students were so angry that they beat their chests and beat their feet, but they had no way to refute.

The scene was extremely lively.

"Mayu! This traitor! He actually has the nerve to travel with the nobles!"

I don’t know who recognized Mayu among the nobles.

This guy praised the Lin family fiercely yesterday, and now he has become a disciple of the Lin family, taking advantage of the opportunity to get together with the children of the family.

This man had some knowledge, and he flattered Lin Xun without showing off, and he quickly won the favor of many people.

Now that Ma You was recognized by Hanmen, his face was a little embarrassed, but he also forcefully explained: "Everyone, we are all scholars, why should we be like this!"

"I bother!"

A poor man rushed up and spat at Mayu.

At this time, the crowd was in chaos, and the students from poor families rushed forward and started fighting with the nobles.

The Lin family had already prepared for today's trip to the mountains.

I informed the county government in advance and asked the county government to dispatch some street bandits and bullies around.

Let them not dare to cause trouble on the official road to the south.

Who would have thought that if he had guarded against gangsters, he would not have guarded against these weak scholars.

Regardless of whether they are from a poor family or a noble family, these scholars usually look like gentlemen and weaklings, but they are very ruthless in a fight.

There are only a few servants in the team, and their combat effectiveness is insufficient.

There were many poor families around, all of them holding back their anger.

"Fuck! Fuck that girl to death!"

"Who the hell spit?"

"You bastard, you're just playing dirty, don't hit your balls if you have the guts!"

"The Gentile Pig, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

"Everyone, we will fight them!"

The merchants on the official road were frightened.

These intellectuals are more hooligan than gangsters when they fight.

They all stepped aside, not daring to move.

The young men fought, and the young ladies screamed in fright.

The coachmen are all old foxes. When they see that the situation is not right, they don't care about the masters of the houses, put down their horses and run away.

Bai Song didn't expect such a battle. He was stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, he found that all the horses in the team had scattered. In the battle ahead, spittle and stars were flying everywhere, and there were cow dung and horse dung in all directions.

"Xiang'er, go quickly!"

Bai Song opened the curtain, pulled Xiang'er and was about to run away.

Xiang'er was so frightened that she cried. Bai Song pulled her to calm down, and then quickly pulled Zheng Liangqiu.

Zheng Liangqiu was also frightened and turned pale, but he stayed in the car and refused to leave: "Don't go out, just...just...just hide in the car."

"Sister, let's leave quickly and listen to my husband."

"If you don't go out, I won't go out!"

"Oh, why do you care about her? Xiang'er, let's run away."

"Miss, while I was waiting, another evil scholar rushed up to me."

Xiaocui was also screaming in anxiety.

In the end, Zheng Liangqiu was pulled out of the carriage.

A group of four people, hunched over and hiding their faces, took advantage of the chaos and ran towards the place where the merchants gathered in the distance.

With Bai Song leading the way, a few people quickly got out of trouble.

Several merchants saw these four people sneaking around and wanted to get out of the way.

Bai Song quickly grabbed them and flattered them: "Hey, hey, everyone, please help block it..."

After saying that, each person gave a few copper coins and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oops! I'll go..." Bai Song wiped his sweat, "Fortunately, I didn't ask my little sister to come. It would be too dangerous. Scholars these days are more ruthless than gangsters."

"Hmph! A manly man is acting like a coward!" Zheng Liangqiu said disdainfully.

"Whether I can stick this end out, I have to communicate more with Miss Zheng to know."

Neither Xiang'er nor Xiao Cui understood the meaning of Bai Song's words.

Only Zheng Liangqiu understood what he said. His face was on fire and he wanted to hit Bai Song.

"Sister, why are you doing this? My husband saved us!"

When Xianggong spoke, Xiao Xiang'er became a little angry and stopped directly in front of Bai Song.

"Xiang'er, you actually did it for a man..."

"Sister, there must be a reason for everything in the world!"

"Yes, yes, this crazy woman is unreasonable and will repay kindness with hatred."

"Oh, miss, stop arguing, someone is chasing you!"

There were four or five scholars in front who seemed to have noticed Bai Song and came over aggressively.

A few merchants blocking the road would not be beaten up and disappear in the blink of an eye for a few copper coins.

"You brat, do you think you can run away?"

Seeing this, Zheng Liangqiu picked up Xiang'er and started to leave: "Xiang'er, let's leave quickly, the other party is coming for him."

"I don't!" Xiang'er grabbed Bai Song stubbornly, with no intention of retreating.

Zheng Liangqiu was so sore that tears flowed freely.

Xiang'er is his best friend, but now that he's married, his heart has drifted to someone else.

What's so good about getting married?

Why does your heart change when you get married?

After thinking about it, several scholars were suddenly stopped by someone.

"roll!"

The person who came gave a low shout, with extraordinary momentum.

Several scholars were stunned for a moment, overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum. They stopped and asked, "You...who are you?"

"Niuda."

"Niu Da!"

Several scholars were obviously locals. When they heard Niu Da's name, they were so frightened that they almost fell down and ran away without looking back.

"Benefactor, are you okay?"

Niu Da then turned around, knelt down and asked softly.

Zheng Liangqiu was also horrified when he heard the word Niu Da: "Niu Da in Mang County is a well-known evil man in Youzhou. How can my son-in-law deal with such a person?"

Bai Song didn't pay attention to Zheng Liangqiu's muttering. When he saw Niu Da coming, he felt reassured and smiled bitterly: "Thanks to you. I can meet you everywhere."

"I'm worried that there are still people who are unfavorable to my benefactor, so I have been following my benefactor. Niu Da is a person who has lived a new life. I have nothing else to do. Now I will follow my benefactor and protect my benefactor."

"I just treated you, and you became my personal bodyguard. That's not good."

"Benefactor, didn't you notice?"

"What did you find?"

"I found that old guy in your team on this trip."

"Old thing? You mean Xue..."

"That's right, it's Divine Doctor Xue!"

Bai Song's heart tightened. He had inquired about Divine Doctor Xue for a long time to no avail, but he didn't expect him to be among the people on this trip.

Niu Da sneered: "He couldn't please the Lin family, so he started to please the Zheng family. He previously treated the injuries of the Zheng family's young masters, and today he went on a mountain tour with the team in the name of worrying about the injuries to the young masters of each family."

Bai Song nodded, naturally knowing what the purpose of Xue was.

Just as he was about to say something more, Lin Xiang'er from behind suddenly interrupted: "You...you...I recognize you!"
