Tongzhuang

The noise lasted for a while, and a stern voice suddenly sounded: "What's the noise?"

"Who's grandma is meddling in her own business again! Grandpa, one by one today—"

"Presumptuous!" The person who spoke before was annoyed and rebuked decisively.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Fang Dongshan didn't make another sound.Who is it?Is a big shot?I struggled to open my eyes and looked to the other side.

The first thing I saw was an old man, with a fair and elegant appearance, gray beard and hair, wearing ordinary clothes, but with a dignified appearance; next to him was a middle-aged man in official uniform, who was supporting the old man.

The person who spoke just now was a middle-aged man in official robes, now he continued: "How dare you be so rude in front of Mr. Fu!"

Fu Xiangye?This... This is the old man who has retired, the future father-in-law of the elder brother?There was a burst of excitement in my heart.Not only because he was saved, but also because he was able to witness the demeanor of this respected adult with his own eyes.

Ah Fu was clever, rushed forward and knelt down: "Lord county magistrate, this bully surnamed Fang oppressed us, I beg you to make the decision for the little people!"

It turned out to be the county magistrate in official robes.The county magistrate looked at Mr. Fu respectfully, saw him frowning, and said sharply: "Take down all these bandits!"

With a whoosh, a group of yamen servants rushed out from behind him, and arrested the stunned Fang Dongshan and his gang.When they woke up and wanted to resist, the county magistrate shouted: "Anyone who refuses to be arrested will be regarded as opposing the imperial court and will be shot to death! Come on, bring this group of disturbing good things back to the county government!"

Fu Xiangye nodded approvingly.

Looking at this accident, I was also dumbfounded, and almost forgot the pain in my body.

After Fang Dongshan and the others were escorted away, the eldest brother and the others saluted the two adults: "Caomin has met Fu Xiangye, and the county magistrate!" With a wave of his clothes, he was about to kneel.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" The county magistrate stepped forward quickly, stopped the elder brother, and said with a smile, "Master Ye is a talented man, and his reputation is well-deserved. He is worthy of the son-in-law Fu Xiangye is looking for, hahaha!"

Fu Xiangye smiled slightly and said: "The old man has already left the court, he is no longer a Xiangye, just call him Mr."

The eldest brother said with a neither humble nor overbearing voice, with a smile: "Coincidentally, just as I was going to report to the government, I met your old man and the county magistrate."

"Those rogues, acting wild in broad daylight, is really abominable!" The county magistrate cursed, and hurriedly helped Mr. Fu to sit down.

The entire lobby was in a mess, the tables and chairs were overturned, the tea bowls and dishes were broken all over the floor, and several guys hurriedly cleaned them up.Rui Ge stepped forward to salute and thanked: "The little girl was entangled by scoundrels, thank you two adults for helping me out."

Now that she has settled down, she behaves generously and her voice is as clear as a warbler coming out of a valley.

Master Fu twisted his beard appreciatively: "I've heard the elegant name of Miss Ruige, it's really not vulgar."

I am very happy in my heart, this old man is not as pedantic as the eldest brother, and has no prejudice against Rui Ge.Ah Fu and Ah Feng helped me to salute, but before I got there, Mr. Fu raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be too polite, let this injured little brother rest."

I only had time to say "Thank you sir" before I was helped to the chair, Ah Fu poured hot tea for me to drink.The eldest brother said: "Go ask the doctor." I felt that he and Rui Ge were looking at me with concern, and I was grateful and embarrassed at the same time.

There was a moment of silence on the court, and the county magistrate smiled and said, "Miss Ruige is very beautiful, and I heard that she is also a master at playing the piano. Master Fu and Mr. Ye are both elegant people. Although the officials are not talented, they also have some experience in rhythm. Today is very happy, Why don't you play the last song, let me wait and enjoy it?"

Rui Ge said bluntly: "What's so difficult about this, the little girl has made a fool of herself."

She hugged her beloved pipa "Qingyue" and sat on the chair. Before she played the strings, people dared not look at her closely.It was as if her beauty suddenly became brighter.The surroundings immediately became silent.

But I never imagined that this would be the last time I saw her playing the piano.

The pipa sounded.

I don't know how to describe her pipa. I couldn't find a suitable word in the books I studied in private school for several years.I just feel the gurgling sound of the piano flowing through my limbs like a clear spring, the sharp pain eased a lot, and even my mind became clear... The sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, like the vast sky, the wind and the moon Lang, in this clear night, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, swaying in the wind, and the fragrance of flowers bursts... In the flowers, there are bright orioles spreading their wings and flying...

After an unknown period of time, the pipa stopped suddenly.The county magistrate took the lead in clapping: "Good! What a song Man Ting Fang! It's really like the sound of nature!"

Fu Xiangye couldn't help nodding his beard. "The old man may prolong his life for a few years after hearing this song, ha ha."

"Mr. Fu has spoiled the little girl." Rui Ge bowed gracefully and stepped aside.

"Miss Ruige is both beautiful and talented, she is worthy of being the number one oiran in Yingzhou, haha!" the county magistrate praised with a smile.

"My lord made fun of me."

The county magistrate is still sighing, "Don't blame the ancient kings for not loving the country and beauties. A beautiful woman like a girl is indeed a country... If it wasn't for my fame and fame, I would also want to be with the girl..." He suddenly stopped talking, He looked at Fu Xiangye uneasily.

If you are an official in Daning, you are not allowed to go to a brothel, and you are not allowed to marry a prostitute as a wife or concubine.The county magistrate was too happy to say it for a while, but lost his sense of proportion.

Fu Xiangye gave him a deep look, but did not reprimand him.Turning to the eldest brother, he said, "Nephew, I have something for you when I come this time."

The eldest brother was slightly surprised.Master Fu clapped his hands, and an attendant held a small sapphire jar. "This is the treasure of the Western Regions, the Scarlet Eyed Ice Toad, bestowed by the Holy Majesty as a token of marriage between the two families."

The county magistrate immediately "tsk", his expression was first surprised, and then full of envy, "Congratulations! Mr. Ye, this is a rare treasure in the world, Mr. Xiang, ah no, sir thinks highly of you!"

I saw that the elder brother's expression also changed slightly, not as indifferent as before.I don't know what that ice toad is, but it must be a very valuable gift!

"I dare not be my little nephew!"

Fu Xiangye said with a smile: "We'll be a family in the future, why bother to talk outside? Just accept it. My little girl has a special liking for you, and urged me, an old man, to order you as soon as possible, lest you fly away!"

Everyone laughed.Big Brother Jun blushed slightly. "Uncle made fun of my nephew."

"My daughter has always had a good eye, and I know what kind of material you are." Fu Xiangye said a little more seriously, "Although you are not from a famous family, I like young people who are motivated. With your talent, It’s not difficult to do something. Loyalty to the king and the benefit of the country, it’s up to you young people!”

"Yes!"

I saw the gleam in my elder brother's eyebrows and his determination.I think he will surely succeed, and he will be a good official whose name will be passed on to future generations.Thinking of this, I am very happy.
