Chapter 40 Saving Beautiful Women

Lu Mengjian saw that there were few pedestrians on the road, so he was ready to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, he looked up, but he couldn't help raising his feet and walking in.

This is a Jiangnan-style alley. The bluestone paved path extends to the deep distance. The slightly damp wall is full of dark green moss. Although the temperature is still low, these green fairies can't help drilling out in advance. The weeping willow branches in the wall came out, and the green willow branches hung beside the wall and danced in the wind.

The ancient wall, coupled with such a poetic scenery, makes people feel as if she is in the painting. Lu Mengzhi suddenly remembered Dai Wangshu's poem. If a few spring rain sprinkles and holds an oil paper umbrella, she does not know whether she is also like the lilac-like girl. With this thought, he seemed to be possessed and linger in this alley.

The deeper you enter the alley, the quieter it is. The small courtyard on both sides may be the backyard of a large family. For a long time, you still can't see the end, and sometimes there are flowers and branches in the wall, and even faintly the strings come out.

Suddenly, there was a riot in front of him. The dirty voices of several men were sometimes mixed with women's voices. Although the woman pretended to be calm, the man refused to give up. After a while, there was the sound of the woman screaming and tearing and tearing. Lu Mengjian originally wanted to retreat and did not want to go through the muddy water, but he sat around like this. It makes her feel guilty in the future.

And over there, the woman's voice was obviously weakened, and there was a faint sobbing sound.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the corner, and a rough and slightly heroic voice sounded, as if slapping another person on the shoulder, "Wu Hao, it's really enjoyable today. I didn't expect your kung fu to be so good. I really admire it today. He will definitely discuss it every day. Hey, you don't allow it. Repayment, when you are free, this battle will be unmatched!"

"Xue Yu is still waiting for you, and I can't force you to stay. When he waits, the two of us must have a good drink! Come back quickly. I'll be home soon. Hey, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. Well, since you want to watch here, I won't stop you!"

The heavy footsteps echoed in the alley, and sometimes the man turned back and said goodbye.

The sound of the original dispute in the deep alley, hearing that sound, I don't know when it has disappeared.

Lu Mengji boldly poked his head into the alley. There was no man's figure, so he took off the heavy burden pressed on his chest and massaged his painful throat with his hand.

Her move is really too risky. If the other party pays attention to it, he will find that all this is just a weak woman's monologue. If the other party had explored a little bit, Lu Mengji would have been beaten to the head. Fortunately, the other party heard the wind and fled, otherwise Lu Mengji really didn't know what to do.

Although the thieves had escaped, the frightened woman still squatted on the ground and could not get up for a long time.

Lu Mengji couldn't do it. He had to do it to the end and stepped forward to help the woman up.

The woman raised her eyes and saw that it was a village girl in coarse cloth clothes. She thought it was another thief's accomplice. She stared at Lu Mengjian calmly. Although she had not recovered from her fear, her eyes also returned to her previous brilliance. "How can you, a girl, get along with that kind of person? Go and tell them that you want me. Compromise, don't even think about it!"

"Miss, I'm afraid you're wrong. I'm not one of them. We don't want to stay here for a long time. Let's go out of the alley first." Lu Mengji picked up the woman and looked around. She always felt as if there were two eyes staring at her behind her, and she was uneasy. .

Unexpectedly, the woman said a few times at the corners of her mouth, "Miss? This girl, you praise the slave family too much. Although he said this, there was a faint joy in his heart, so he walked out with Lu Mengji.

Lu Mengji took a closer look and found that he was really blind.

Although this woman's clothes are not gorgeous, no matter the fabric needles, they are by no means what ordinary women can wear. The plain silk satin cut is extremely suitable, but the same dress looks extremely graceful on her. The white face was thinly coated with a layer of powder, and under the eyebrows, the green eyes were pitiful. The hair on his forehead was counted, revealing his noble forehead, which looked solemn and beautiful.

Looking closely, it was clear that it was a lady's dress. Lu Mengji knew that she had recognized the wrong person and hurriedly apologized.

"Little girl, er, it's no intention to offend the slave family, but the lady is really young, which makes people mistakenly think that she is still a daughter in the boudoir. Please forgive me." Lu Mengjian remembered Aunt Li's reminder that day. She was so anxious that she almost bit her tongue.

The lady didn't care about it, but smiled, "Where is this? It's just an honor that I didn't expect to be recognized as a young lady when I was almost old. Unfortunately, this face is unforgiving, and I can see what's going on at a glance. However, I just heard someone talking in the alley, which scared the group of thieves away. I don't know who the girl is, and I hope the girl can convey her gratitude.

"Ha ha, there is no one, it's just that I deliberately scared them," Lu Mengji said and deliberately pinched his neck and said a few words.

"It turned out that the girl saved the slave family. Please be worshipped by the slave family," the woman wanted to arrest her and was held by Lu Mengji. "If it hadn't been for the girl's resourcefulness and righteous help, I'm afraid I really don't know what to do at this moment. Thank you, girl!"

Lu Mengjian was said, and his face turned red. "But it's not enough to say anything. Madam, how can you enter this deep alley alone? This kind of place is rarely visited, and your wife is full of nobleness. It is inevitable that thieves will think about it. It's better to pay more attention in the future."

"I'm not afraid of girls' jokes. The mansion in front of me is my husband's house. When I went out today, I saw the exquisite and beautiful alley, so I ordered the maids to stay outside. Unexpectedly, I met this group of thieves." The woman's eyebrows were slightly sad, and it seemed difficult to say.

The two talked as they walked. Although the woman saw Lu Mengjian in coarse cloth clothes, she was not biased. She talked and laughed as if she had known each other for many years, and she had a feeling that it was too late to meet.

The woman is now the second aunt of the You family, but Mrs. Zhengfang has already passed away, and she has also become the filling room of the You family and has been called Mrs. You all the time. Although Master You has a great career, he has only guarded the wife of the Youli family, which is also affectionate and righteous.

Although Lu Mengzhi doesn't know how big a family business You has in the city, he can guess one or two by looking at this huge house alone. Looking at Mrs. You talking and laughing without airs, Lu Mengji had an inexplicable good impression in his heart.

Soon, the alley came to the end. The two maids guarding at the entrance of the alley were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Seeing that the lady finally appeared, they all hurriedly greeted them. Seeing the mud stained behind the skirt of the lady's skirt, they couldn't help but look worried.

"Madam, why did you come out for such a long time? My sister and I are worried about it. Oh, madam, your clothes..." Seeing the gray stains on Mrs. You's skirt, the maid in a goose yellow dress stepped forward and deliberately blocked Lu Mengjian.

Lu Mengji moved a few steps out quietly, but the goose yellow clothes turned his head and stared angrily, "Who are you? How dare you walk side by side with our wife!"

Mrs. You, who had been smiling gently, couldn't help but look up when she heard this, "Biyun, don't be rude!"

Biyun bit his lips, but his eyes came out fiercely from time to time, believing that it must be Lu Mengjian who stained his lady's dress. He also saw that she was poorly dressed and had more contempt in her eyes.

"I accidentally sprained my ankle just now, thanks to this girl's help," Mrs. You said a word and did not mention what happened. Although Lu Mengji had doubts in his heart, he still smiled and said nothing.

The woman in green standing on the other side gently pulled Biyun's sleeve, and Biyun whispered apologizing and dodged aside. Mrs. You seemed to be gentle, but this time she only looked at Biyun's performance coldly, and her eyes had a strong aftertaste.

"Since my wife has taken care of me, it is not convenient for Meng Jian to stay for a long time. Madam, forgive Meng Jian first." Although the two chatted happily, after all, their identities were different. Lu Meng Jian stood in front of them at this time. Although he could not talk about inferiority, he was inevitably a little awkward.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. You reached out and took her hand and smiled, "Sister, don't go first. I just heard that you came to the city to sell some spices, but it happened that there were few spices left in the house. I was also about to buy some. Since my sister wants to sell it, it just save us from going to another trip, right?"

Lu Mengzhi knew that he was willing to help him, so he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, carefully held it in his hand, opened the cap of the bottle, and shook it around in front of Mrs. You.

The fragrance emanates in an instant, and the faint fragrance of locust flowers comes to the nose, which makes people feel refreshed. Mrs. You just expressed her gratitude. Who would have expected that this spice was so effective? Only this time, she had captured her heart.

The porcelain bottle was resealed, and the fragrance around it remained. Mrs. You happily took the porcelain bottle and saw that the color on the bottle was beautiful and more pleasing to the eyes, so she decided to buy it.

The woman in green saw that her wife was happy. Even if she took out two pieces of silver, it made Lu Mengjian a little embarrassed.

"This is a new product I just developed recently, and I haven't set the price yet..." Lu Mengjie is quite helpless. She doesn't know anything about the market in this world. She planned to go to the powder store to inquire before pricing it. Who would have expected to meet the buyer halfway. For Lu Mengjie, it's not like a big filling falling from the sky. Cake.

"So, green calyx," Mrs. You handed over a look. The woman in green understood, took out a purse from her arms and walked to Lu Mengji.

"Thank you for your help and helping my wife back. Just now, my sister is rude, and I hope she can forgive me. The girl's craftsmanship is really good. Even we like the fragrance. These silver are not much. Please accept it first. Green calyx said and gently stuffed his purse into Lu Mengji's hand.

Lu Mengji weighed it, and the weight was not light. He estimated that it was also 20 taels, and put the purse back in the hand of the green calyx. "Girl, these silver are really much."
