There was a commotion under the bridge.
Those who wash clothes and vegetables by the river are all nearby residents.
As soon as the burly woman opened her mouth, the others started shouting.
But there are not many who actually take action.
These days, it is difficult for everyone to have enough food and clothing, so how dare they cause trouble at will.
And judging from the clothes on the mother and daughter, they were not ordinary people.
That pretty young woman was none other than Yang Ping'er, the second wife of Chengguo Mansion.
And the delicate-looking little girl in red dress is her daughter Luo Xiaolou.
The two of them came here today for some unknown reason.
Yang Ping'er was full of momentum when scolding, and she was worthy of anyone, but when she moved her hands, she was no match for the burly woman.
The burly woman grabbed her collar with one hand and started tearing her clothes off with the other hand, shouting loudly: "Come and see! Everyone, come and see! This little kid ran away from who knows which brothel." I want to take off my clothes for everyone to see!"
The women who were watching all laughed and cheered.
The eyes of several men who were watching not far away suddenly shone brightly and opened their eyes wide.
Yang Ping'er struggled desperately, but couldn't break free.
Only then did she get scared, and she didn't dare to curse anymore. Her face turned red and she blocked the opponent's hand in a panic.
Luo Xiaolou was crying to help, but he was small and weak, and was completely ignored by the burly woman.
At this moment.
Suddenly a cold shout came from the side: "Stop!"
There was a pause in the heckling.
The burly woman turned her head and looked at the speaker. When she saw that it was a young scholar who was looking at Wen Wen weakly, she immediately sneered and said sarcastically to Yang Ping'er: "Little coquettish hoof, your little sweetheart is here. You are an old cow eating young grass, hahahaha..."
The others also burst into laughter, looking at the young scholar who suddenly appeared with frivolous and ambiguous eyes.
Luo Qingzhou's face darkened, he pushed aside the crowd, walked in, grabbed the burly woman's hand holding Yang Ping'er's collar, his eyes flashed, he looked directly into the other person's pupils, his soul concentrated, and his inner energy poured into his throat With a voice like an angry tiger and a voice like thunder, he suddenly shouted: "Let go!"
When the other women next to him heard this, they thought his voice was slightly louder and nothing unusual. However, when this burly woman heard it, her eardrums shook, her head pounded, her body trembled suddenly, and her hands shook involuntarily. The ground let go, and at the same time his pupils shrank, something inside his body suddenly trembled, his face instantly turned pale, his legs couldn't help but pinch, and his pants actually got wet...
She froze there, her pupils dilated for a moment, her face showed a look of shock and fear involuntarily, and her body seemed to be suddenly frozen, motionless.
Seeing this scene, Luo Qingzhou secretly thought that what the book said was indeed correct.
The soul is so powerful that it can shock people with their eyes and frighten their souls with their sounds!
"Let's go."
He glanced at Yang Ping'er and Luo Xiaolou next to him, pushed aside the crowd, and left quickly.
He knew the effect would only last for a short time.
This woman is physically strong, unlike those weak women, and she will probably wake up soon.
Yang Ping'er didn't dare to scold anymore, and hurriedly pulled her daughter and followed him.
"Wu Kui's family, what are you doing? You're just a weak scholar and you're scared like this?"
"Do you know that guy? He's an official?"
When the other women who were watching saw this scene, they all looked puzzled and started asking questions.
At this time, the burly woman gradually came back to her senses, was stunned, and suddenly reacted slowly and shouted angrily at the young man who had already walked to the bridge: "Boy, don't leave if you dare! Come down and fight with me for three hundred Round! I must cripple you!"
As soon as this was said, the other women burst into laughter again.
Luo Qingzhou took his mother and daughter onto the bridge, along the opposite river bank, and turned into an alley.
Seeing no one around, Fang stopped and turned around to look at them.
"Brother Qingzhou!"
Luo Xiaolou immediately jumped into his arms, hugged him tightly, and cried: "Fortunately, brother Qingzhou is here, otherwise my mother would have been stripped naked and thrown into the river."
Yang Ping'er suddenly blushed and yelled angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Is my mother so useless? Didn't you see that my mother was just quarreling with the scholars, and the person she scolded couldn't stop talking?"
Luo Qingzhou frowned and asked, "Second Madam, why are you there?"
Yang Ping'er glared at him and said with a straight face: "It's not because of you. Xiaolou is clamoring to come out to find you. He has sneaked out several times in the past few days and was caught by me. I can't do anything today. I I took her out myself."
Luo Xiaolou immediately interjected: "Brother Qingzhou, my mother lied to me. She said she would take me to find Brother Qingzhou, but instead she took me to wander around. When I just walked to the bridge, my mother said she wanted to go down and wash her hands. , and ended up having a dispute with someone. My mother suspected that someone else’s laundry had spilled on her body, so she quarreled with someone, and the result was..."
"Humph! They are all vulgar and uneducated village girls. They make me so angry!"
Yang Ping'er was so angry that her chest hurt. She raised her hand to rub it, but felt it didn't feel right. She immediately put it down and asked, "Qingzhou, why are you out here alone?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I'll go to the bookstore and have a look."
Luo Xiaolou's eyes lit up, and he quickly hugged his arm and said, "Brother Qingzhou, can you take me with you? I want to go too."
Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly.
Yang Ping'er hesitated for a moment, glanced at her daughter, and said, "Qingzhou, how about you take Xiaolou with you? You take her to the Qin Mansion to play today, and I will pick her up in the evening."
After a pause, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and he added: "She is just a child, she should be fine. This girl is also pitiful. She stays at home all day, no one plays with her, and she always wants to come out to find you. Why……"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and looked into those charming big eyes. His heart softened. Just when he was about to agree, he suddenly thought of the recent assassination. He was silent for a moment and refused: "Second Madam, I still want to study. , if you can’t accompany her, you should take her back.”
"Brother Qingzhou..."
Luo Xiaolou's eyes were red and he cried aggrievedly.
Yang Ping'er sighed and said nothing more. She held her daughter's hand and said with a wry smile: "Qingzhou, I know, you may be afraid of being blamed by the Qin Mansion, right? Indeed, they probably hate us to death. How could you welcome us? Did you really have a good time there...?"
After saying that, he laughed at himself, shook his head and said: "Okay, I won't ask anymore, and you don't want to talk about it. How good can you live if you get married? As long as you have food to eat and can live."
"Xiaolou, let's go, mother will take you to buy candies."
Luo Xiaolou still held Luo Qingzhou's arm tightly and cried, "Brother Qingzhou, if Xiaolou doesn't go to the Qin Mansion, brother Qingzhou will be punished... Xiaolou will go shopping with brother Qingzhou. Let’s go shopping for a while, okay?”
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then opened her hand and said, "Go back quickly and study hard at home. Don't come out again, it's dangerous outside."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Luo Xiaolou stood there, looking at him with tears in his eyes, crying silently, but did not make it difficult for him anymore.
Yang Ping'er sighed again and hugged her tightly.
After Luo Qingzhou took a few steps, he suddenly turned back to look at the mother and daughter and said, "The Chinese New Year is almost here, let's wait a little longer."
After a pause, he added: "Soon."
After saying this, he left quickly.
Yang Ping'er was stunned for a moment, watching his back disappearing around the corner, and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
Luo Xiaolou wiped his tears and said: "Mother, Brother Qingzhou said that the New Year is coming soon. During the New Year, Brother Qingzhou will take his bride back to Chengguo Mansion. Then I can play with Brother Qingzhou." Now, you can also take a look at Brother Qingzhou’s bride.”
Yang Ping'er stroked her head, with gentle eyes, and murmured with a wry smile: "I hope so."
Luo Qingzhou walked on the street and looked back.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going. I wonder if there were anyone sent by the government.
Since the eldest lady wants to put him to death, she should have people guard him all the time, waiting for opportunities, right?
The other party is ruthless and capable of doing anything.
If he shows Xiaolou's care and concern, I'm afraid that the other party will do whatever he can to use Xiaolou and even make a fuss about Xiaolou.
In that case, it will only harm that simple and kind girl.
Therefore, he must be cruel.
Soon.
There is still one month left for the New Year.
After the New Year, time passes faster.
The first floor of Gumao Jubao Pavilion is for buying books. There are all kinds of books, and there are even some books.
After Luo Qingzhou entered, he wandered around the bookshelves on the first floor for a while. When he saw no one at the door, he went upstairs and went directly to the counter selling meat refining potion, spending 600 gold coins and buying three bottles of potion.
The price of potions has increased again.
The waiter in the shop explained helplessly that the prices of materials have been rising recently, and the prices of alchemists have also risen, and there is nothing they can do.
Luo Qingzhou didn't say much.
Although it is expensive and there are only three drops of potion in the bottle, the effect is obvious and it is worth the money.
After he successfully refines the meat, he can go out to hunt monsters to make money, and at the same time hone his combat skills.
I believe that the strength will grow faster by then.
Jubao Pavilion also has a service that can introduce individual warriors to join a certain team and go out of the city to hunt monsters together.
Whether such a team is leaving or entering the city, no formalities are required, and no one will ask, and the members may not know each other.
After Luo Qingzhou bought the potion and chatted with the waiter for a few words, he went downstairs.
He did not go out directly, but walked around on the first floor for a while and bought two books.
Just as he was about to leave, two girls suddenly walked in from the door.
One of them is short in stature and has good body proportions. He is wearing a long cyan skirt with curves and curves. He has a slight makeup on his face and has a beautiful appearance.
Luo Qingzhou had seen her.
Song Zixi, the daughter of the Song family, one of the four major families in Mocheng.
When she and Miss Qin went to the lake to admire the moon in Tingyu Garden on a moonlit night, she even gave Luo Qingzhou a question.
The two looked at each other.
Song Zixi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he took the initiative to say: "Master Luo, what a coincidence, are you here to buy books too?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded politely, raised the book in his hand and said, "Well, I have nothing to do today, so I went out for a walk and bought two books to read. Where is Miss Song?"
Song Zixi smiled and said, "I'm here to buy books too. Many bookstores don't have as many books as here."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more, he cupped his hands and prepared to leave.
Song Zixi said quickly: "By the way, Mr. Luo, there will be a poetry meeting in a few days, and it will be held in the painting boat on the Moshui River. Yu Lan and I have said that we will invite Mr. Luo to go with us. I hope Luo Young Master can reward you with a face."
Luo Qingzhou declined politely: "I'm sorry, Miss Song, I've been studying at home during this period, so I don't have much time, and I'm not interested in that kind of occasion."
Song Zixi smiled and said: "It's okay, it's night, and it won't delay your study time during the day. I will also go to your house to call Wei Mo together. Even if you don't accompany us, you should accompany Wei Mo, right?" She is so weak, do you trust her to go out alone? Anyway, she must have been thinking about going out for some air, and if I tell her, she will definitely be very interested."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more, bowed his hands, and left.
Song Zixi turned her head and looked at his back, her eyes flickering slightly.
The girl on the side asked curiously: "Zi Xi, is he the wife of the Qin family that you told Yu Lan? He looks so handsome and has a good temperament. If the poems you mentioned were really written by him, That’s really a shame.”
Song Zixi turned around and smiled lightly: "It's indeed a pity... let's go and read a book."
The two girls went to the bookshelf and looked through the books.
Song Zixi glanced outside the door.
There was a man standing in front of the stall opposite. He happened to look back at her and then left.
Luo Qingzhou bought five bunches of candied haws and returned to his house.
Since everyone likes to eat, let’s buy more.
But he would definitely not ask for trouble and take the initiative to give out candied haws. He would take it back and put it at home. Whoever saw it would eat it, and whoever didn't see it would not eat it.
It's best to let Xiaodie eat alone.
But on the way, he met Pearl again.
Not long after returning to the courtyard, Qiu'er came over and said, "Uncle, can you give my lady a bunch of candied haws? Zhu'er said that my uncle bought a lot of candied haws, and she wants to eat them."
Luo Qingzhou went to the house to get a bunch and handed it to her: "Miss Zhu'er, are you embarrassed to ask for it?"
Qiu'er smiled, said "Thank you, uncle" without saying much and left.
Not long after.
Bai Ling also came after smelling the smell, looking very angry, his eyes full of unsatisfied resentment.
But when Luo Qingzhou took the initiative to bring her a bunch of candied haws, a sweet smile bloomed on her face: "Uncle, I'll wait for you to pay my respects to the lady tonight. Don't forget some things again."
After saying that, he happily took the candied haws and went back to show off.
After Luo Qingzhou saw her leaving, he thought about it, took another bunch from the house, and sat in the small courtyard.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, the cold girl was like a ghost, holding a sword and standing quietly under the pear tree next to her.
Luo Qingzhou was thinking about something at the time. He turned around and saw someone under the pear tree, and was startled.
"Here, the last one."
Luo Qingzhou was speechless and handed over the candied haws in his hand.
The girl turned sideways, crossed her arms across her chest, and held the sword in her arms. Her pretty face was as cold as ice. When she heard this, her pretty face parted, and she raised her chin: "Humph!"
"Please eat..."
The girl grabbed it and was about to leave, then turned her head and looked into the room.
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "No, this is really the last one."
The girl gave him a cold look, turned around suddenly, entered the room, and then did not come out again.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a while and quickly followed in.
In the living room, the girl stood in front of the table with her sword in her arms, looking at the other two bunches of candied haws on the table with cold eyes. When she saw him coming in, she looked at him with cold eyes.
"Hey, why are there two more strings..."
The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said again: "Um... I'll do one, Xiaodie will do one, there won't be more."
The girl still stood there motionless, staring at him with cold eyes.
"Okay...I won't eat."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to take another bunch and handed it to her: "I'll give you one of mine."
The girl remained motionless.
"Oh, please..."
"snort!"
The girl snorted coldly, snatched it away, and then walked away with two bunches of candied haws.
Too much!
Luo Qingzhou complained secretly in his heart, thought for a while, quickly picked up the remaining bunch, put it into Xiaodie's room, and hid it.
If Bai Ling saw Xia Chan taking two bunches back, he would probably come over and yell again.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay in the house any longer, so he left the courtyard, locked the door, and went directly to the bottom of the lake to practice.
really.
Not long after, Bai Ling came to the door angrily with an empty bamboo stick in his hand, licking the remaining sugar juice on it.
When she saw the iron lock on the door, she pouted and stamped her feet angrily: "Smelly uncle! Bad uncle! I deliberately gave Chanchan two skewers so that Nizi could take them back to piss me off! I'm so pissed off!" Don’t even think about being lewd to others tonight!”
Soon it was night.
Bai Ling put on beautiful clothes, dressed up carefully, and went to the flower garden to pick a newly bloomed flower.
Then he stood at the door of the front yard, leaning on the door frame and staring at the moonlight boredly.
The moonlight is nice tonight.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
