Chapter 361 Waving a whip to help, beauty
Ping'an Square is undoubtedly the most concentrated neighborhood of teahouses and restaurants in the inner city. It is close to the imperial city. Officials of various government departments are mostly concentrated on meals here during lunch breaks. There are also noble children and dung bets who also like to come here to gather here. On both sides of Ping'an Street are famous luxury restaurants such as Liuxiang Pavilion and Sihai Tower. On the open road, fragrant cars BMW is endless, and Wang Sun's cars are not rare. Of course, there are also civilians in cloth. When they are idle, they all like to visit here to enjoy the prosperity and bustle.
In particular, in Xishi Hutong, there are small and medium-sized teahouses, all of which are two-storey wooden buildings, or there are stories, or puppet dramas. The first floor is usually equipped with stage curtains. There are high-legged wooden tables in the hall, which are arranged with benches. Most of them are surrounded by idle civilians, regardless of whether they know each other or not, but there are The empty space only sits down, and only order a bowl of clear tea in the pocket. Five copper plates can listen to two books. Most of the people near the stage are square tables and chairs, which are for some face-faced guests. As for the second floor, they are all elegantly set up to entertain rich guests. Because there is a patio in the middle, it does not prevent distinguished guests on the second floor from listening to books.
Tea restaurants generally do not provide big dishes, but most of them are refreshing snacks, pasta and pastries, but there are also distinguished guests who are unwilling to move the ground. They send them to other restaurants to order a table of banquets, listening to the storyteller's colorful stories, accompanied by delicious food and wine.
Wei Yuan used to like the wonderful workshop in the depths of the alley. When he taught in the Gongfu, he came as soon as he had leisure. Now he has fewer leisure time, but when he rests, he has to come to drink a pot of dragon wells. He doesn't like the elegant rooms and only loves the lively and noisy lobby. When he is full of interest, he often comments with strangers who are predestined. One two.
Generally, at noon, you can make do with a bowl of donkey noodles to satisfy your mouth and stomach, and then go to Yihong Street to listen to a pipa playing and singing, or enjoy an opera in the tiles.
But near noon today, when the storyteller was at halftime, Wei Yuan called the running hall to settle the bill.
Xishi Hutong is far less spacious than Ping'an Long Street, and it is very crowded with people and cars coming and going.
Wei Yuan didn't notice a brown young man squatting under the eaves outside the wonderful workshop. As soon as he went out, he hurriedly inserted people forward.
At the entrance of the alley of Lin* Anchang Street, in a window on the second floor of the tea shop, Zhu Qian has been sitting for half a day. There are only a small amount of crispy bones and crab dumplings left on the table, and a cup of green soup has already bottomed out.
He saw Wei Yuan walking this way with a folding fan and quickly turned to look at the entrance of the alley. He saw an old woman with wooden clothes trembling, with a sinister curvature at the corners of her lips.
There was still a middle-aged man sitting opposite Zhu Qian, who was also one of the thorns against the new system. At this time, he lowered his voice and said "coming" several times, with a look of watching the play.
Under the bottom, Wei Yuan is getting closer to the old man.
The old man suddenly stattering.
Wei Yuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to help him, but the old lady fell to the ground and exhaled in pain. When people were surrounded, she half-w her eyes and moaned in a low voice, as if she was about to faint.
At first, Wei Yuan thought that the old woman was having an emergency. She was about to bend down to ask, but suddenly a gray man with a round waist and arms suddenly appeared in the thorn. He shouted at the old woman in his mouth, half knelt down and held the person on his knees. Suddenly, he scolded angrily: "What a long-sighted man, he actually knocked down and ignored it."
There are many people around the audience who can see that it is a blackmail drama, but they also know that these ruffians are not worthy of their powerless good people. They have witnessed Wei Yuan's half-old gown. Although it is not a new one, the fabric is extremely exquisite. They know that he is a rich man and doesn't care about these two. Loose silver, all stand by and watch.
Wei Yuan probably knew that he had been touched by porcelain and didn't want to argue at all. He had reached the cuff and was about to take out his money bag.
The corners of Zhu Qian's lips upstairs are even higher, but the "middle-aged" opposite him is full of frustration: "Once this money is compensated, it's over. It's not a good show."
Zhu Qian snorted coldly: "Do you still want to watch Wei Yuan bully others? But anyone with a brain will not waste to pester these ruffians.
"Middle-aged" hurriedly asked, "Is there any arrangement?"
"At present, so many people have seen Wei Yuan hit people. If in the future, this old woman will die because of this collision... Isn't she bear a life? The emperor hates the people the most.
Only then did the "middle-aged" understand and stared straight down.
Wei Yuan's hand stopped at the cuff: "This brother, I think the hall seems to have fallen hard. Just in case, it's better to go to the pharmacy and ask a doctor in the hall for treatment."
The ruffian's face is full of rudeness: "You rich people have a vicious heart and speak well. As soon as I leave here with you, I will not admit it immediately. At that time, I will never admit that you knocked down someone. Don't talk nonsense and take money to compensate first."
Wei Yuan frowned slightly.
At ordinary times, he will not care about such small things, but it is to break the money and eliminate disasters, but Yu Yu told him that those who oppose the new system should find an opportunity to provoke him and let him pay attention to everything. Is this unpopular means?
is hesitating.
But suddenly heard a delicate voice: "Why is it so congested?"
The onlookers turned around, but saw a young girl in blue skirt asking questions, stepping on the saddle and getting off the horse, and beside her was a horse. The golden embroidered shoes stepped on the yellow saddle, the bright red grenades skirt, the bright black eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the woman's green silk high, and the golden phoenix pearl in her hair were overlooking high on the ground. .
Wei Yuan was slightly stunned, but the look of the ruffian who was still holding the "old lady" on the ground was stiff. Under the bright sun, his tall body trembled.
I don't know who whispered: "It's Princess Pingle of King Kang's Mansion."
The princess's eyes only casually shook over Wei Yuan's face. When she fell on the distinctive face of the ruffian's hanging eyebrows and slanting eyes, her eyebrows suddenly raised, and she turned over and got off the horse. The black whip in her hand tapped on the palm of her hand and strode several times.
The crowd dodged a way knowingly.
Hearing the princess's "hew" laugh, the whip pointed to the ruffian: "The last time you didn't have a long-sighted woman with a fake pregnancy, wanted to blackmail my cousin, and I was whipped by me. How dare you do this fraud?"
As soon as he raised the whip and hit the ground loudly, he happened to be next to the old woman who was still moaning and couldn't get up, almost affecting Wei Yuan's upper.
The old man was scared by this and subconsciously became a fish jump and extremely flexible.
The onlookers couldn't help laughing.
Princess Pingle's "prestity" has spread all over Kyoto, and the ruffian suffered losses last time. At this time, he did not dare to be strong. He pulled the old girl, and the mother and son knelt to the ground and asked the princess for forgiveness.
Upstairs, Zhu Qian was stunned. He was so calculating that he didn't know that a "woman" would be killed halfway to draw a knife to help.
I had to watch the princess's interrogation. The ruffian told him that he had "washed his hands in a golden basin". This time, someone paid a lot of money to buy it, so that today's "blackmail" Lord Wei, and he couldn't help **.
"Are you an official?" Only then did Princess Pingle look at Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan replied with a bow: "In Wei Yuan, he is currently the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies."
Princess Pingle nodded: "It seems that you have offended the villain." He pointed to the ruffian with a horse whip: "I have been taught a lesson from the princess, and I still don't repent. This time I dare to blackmail the courtiers. It's really looking for a way to die." He waved his hand and called two bodyguards to bring them to send the ruffian mother and son to Shuntian Mansion.
Zhu Qian was shocked, and there was no leisure to watch the play - although it was not his face, and he was not afraid of the ruffians to bite, but he had to tell the people who acted quickly to go outside to avoid trouble. Don't let the people of Shuntianfu touch the melons, but he didn't know that as soon as he came out of the teahouse, he was followed by a few people behind him, all dressed as ordinary civilians. It is not noticeable at all.
He also said Wei Yuan and saluted again: "Thank you, Princess Pingle, for your righteous help."
Ping Lewei was surprised: "Do you recognize me?"
"In next March, I was invited by King Kang to go to a spring banquet and had the honor to witness the princess and the royal palace attack." Wei Yuan smiled gently.
At that time, many men at the banquet were invited by King Kang to go to the racecourse to fight. Unexpectedly, they happened to see that Pingle led a team of maids and were "fight fiercely" with their own soldiers. It was not the usual steps of noble women, but several horses competing for the first. At the beginning, the soldiers still had the intention to give way. Unexpectedly, they were almost knocked off their horses by Pingle's stick and warned them if they no longer concentrate. , drag out the stick to blame.
As a result, the soldiers and a team of women did not win or lose, and it became a draw.
All the unmarried teenagers witnessed the "toughness" of Pingle, one by one, but King Kang was very happy and did not hide their appreciation for his daughter.
Wei Yuan has a profound image of this princess.
At this time, Ping Le smiled again: "There are not many people who dare to talk to me, but you are bold."
Wei Yuan:......
"I can't listen to those empty-headed thanks the most. I'm just bored today. If you really want to thank me, how about treating me to a good meal?" Despite the crowds around him, Pingle actually held a banquet.
Wei Yuan apologized: "I should have, but today I have an appointment with the son of the King of Chu..."
"That boy Yu?" Ping Le became even more interested: "I will go to the King of Chu's Mansion. I was going to have a meal with their couple, but I didn't want to rush. It turned out that I had an appointment with you."
Wei Yuan:......
Thinking and then explaining, "I once served as the west seat of the Duke of Wei, and I had a friendship between teachers and students with the imperial concubine. Today, the prince and the concubine went with me."
Ping Le didn't seem to understand why Wei Yuan wanted to explain. He waved his arm with a big thorn: "Then you owe me first, say a time, and then thank me."
Wei Yuan pondered slightly, but did not hesitate and said, "In the next five days, the unknown princess will have time in five days."
"That's settled." The corners of Princess Pingle's lips curled: "You are interesting. As soon as those men see me, they see cats with mice. Aren't you afraid of me?"
"The princess is righteous and straightforward, and I deeply admire her."
Ping Le thought about it and saw that Wei Yuan was generous and didn't seem to be a snake. He smiled again and said, "I used to be the most annoying words of those scholars and humanities, but your words are still heard. They all say that things are gathered by class. No wonder Yu Yu and A Jing are willing to invite you. Their friends are my friends. In the future, you will meet these blind ruffians again. , just cancel my name and see if I don't give it to them.
Wei Yuan bowed again: "It's an honor."
Ping Le turned around and said, "Let's go."
Wei Yuan:......
"Yu Yu's treat, since I caught up, of course I won't let it go. Where do you have an appointment?" Ping Le is full of interest.
The place is in Sihai Pavilion. This restaurant is most famous for its eight rare dishes such as Gaoli sea clams and Buddha's hand gold rolls. The branches are all over the north and south of the Yangtze River, which is located in Ping'an Square. Although the floor is next to Ping'an Long Street, there is also a courtyard in the West Fourth Hutong. There are countless fragrances in it. There are many small pavilions on the platform, and the scenery is elegant. There are elegant boxes, which are suitable for aristocratic banquets, and there are also girls who come here for the party.
The stewman welcomed Wei Yuan and Ping Le to the elegant seat "Mantingfang". In front of the Xuan window under the screen, there was a floating fragrance, and the prince and his wife were sitting opposite each other, and a chess game was stale.
Among the four arts of Pingle, she is only interested in chess. Although her chess path is regardless of her head and tail and repeatedly abandons her armor, she can't help itching when she sees the chess game.
The battle between Wei Yuan and the scenery can be traced back to four years ago. At this time, Wei Yuan was inevitably surprised to see that although Yu Yu had a slight advantage, the scenery still had a great chance to change. The outcome was unpredictable for a while.
Wei Yuan has a deep understanding of the superb chess skills of this classmate, but he doesn't know when his students "growed up" to be masters enough to compete with Yu Yu.
After sitting for a while, Ping Le couldn't help it. She saw that Yu Yu had a slight upper hand and pushed him forward, almost hitting Yu Yu on the window.
"You two always have many opportunities to play against each other. Give it to me, Jing, I will definitely fight with you today."
Three polite people:......
Yu Yu knew that Pingle was a "stinky chess". It was estimated that this game would end in a moment. At the same time, he told the clear sky to go out to call people to pass on the dishes. At the same time, he invited Wei Yuan to sit in the room to taste tea. Wei Yuan thought of the earlier event and said the beginning. He saw Yu Yu's smile slightly. He was stunned: "Do you know?"
"Zhu Qian jumped up and down. I had already seen him and was staring at him." Yu Yu didn't care: "Brother should have noticed that Zhu Qian was at the mouth of Xishi Hutong today. He wanted to witness the princess twisting people to the government office and roar to find someone. As long as the news of Shuntianfu comes back and make sure that the scoundrel is the person Zhu Qian saw, we can set our goal."
"But you have to figure out a reason to deal with Zhu Qian." Wei Yuan reminded.
"As long as those people in the light understand that Zhu Qian touched the moldy head for the new system, as for the surface..." Yu Yu smiled gently: "Is it okay to offend me?"
Wei Yuan:......
For a moment, I didn't understand what Yu Yu was going to do, and Yu didn't say anything in detail. He patted Wei Yuan on the shoulder inexplicably: "Brother, wait and see. I and Gao Zu have had a plan for a long time."
Wei Yuan was stunned for a while. When he saw Yu's eyes looking at the other side of the hollow fan, he realized that "high feet" meant the imperial concubine.
