Chapter 384 East City Conflict
The next morning.
The sky is dimly bright.
Ma Zhou led the dejected Pei Xingjian to Dongshi.
The future famous general was despised by Su Jing last night, and he has not recovered until now.
The self-confidence built up by her classmates over the past few months was instantly destroyed by Su Jing, who was not yet crowned.
If he was slightly inferior to an adult man like Ma Zhou, he might still be able to deal with it calmly.
But Su Jing is only a few years older than him, but far surpasses him in poetry and strategy, which really makes him extremely disappointed.
What's more, Su Jing also said:
In a few days, a thirteen-year-old girl will come to Chang'an. She is more than cunning and tricky enough to be his master.
This made Pei Xingjian fall into a vicious circle of self-doubt.
I only feel that I am a mediocre talent in this world, only a little better than my classmates who have never entered school.
Maybe in a few days, he can't even compare with these classmates.
"Ugh!"
Pei Xingjian sighed like an adult, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Sir, are students really so stupid?
If so, why did you admit students in the first place? "
Hearing this, Ma Zhou glanced at Pei Xingjian, feeling a little sympathetic.
Before he entered the East Palace, wasn't he suppressed by Su Jing just like this?
"Observe.
The person who accepts you into school is not a teacher, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Your words of Pei Shouyue were also bestowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.
Now, do you understand? "
"what?!
how so? "
Pei Xingjian's eyes widened in bewilderment, and he raised his head in surprise and asked, "Sir.
Since His Royal Highness values students so much, why did he humiliate me so much last night? "
Ma Zhou smiled faintly, and replied casually: "Your Highness often says:
We wait for poor Confucian students to learn literature and martial arts, and the goods are the same as those of the emperor's family.
Although you are from the Pei clan of Hedong, His Highness regards you very highly.
You can take this as a humiliation, or you can take it as a test.
As for how to choose, it all depends on whether you are loyal to His Highness, the Pei family, or the Tang Dynasty. "
Pei Xingjian was startled when he heard the words, and nodded half-understanding.
He can still understand the difference between the first two, but being loyal to Datang, his current age is really a bit confusing.
……
Chang'an East City.
On the side of Changlefang.
This place is close to Chunming Gate, and most people who go to West Market will pass by here.
Every morning, people will come here for a small gathering.
I look forward to being lucky enough to be valued by the nobles and do some chores to subsidize the family.
The Dongshiya people are of low status, and most of them will wait here for the arrival of nobles.
As for stepping into the gate of Dongshifang, if there is no noble person to invite, the Yaren will not dare to take half a step forward.
And this time.
At the corner on the south side of Changlefang.
The three toothmen were holding their hands in their cuffs, carefully looking at the pair of desolate father and daughter in front of them.
I saw that the man was about thirty to five, with stubble all over his face and disheveled hair.
The little girl described her as thin and about seven or eight years old, but her big eyes were exceptionally bright.
"Old man!
I see that you are not here to sell your daughter, but to find fault!
You are not allowed to beat and abuse, and you still want to eat and wear warm clothes.
The co-author bought her, and he still wants to take it home as an ancestor? "
A dentist was very dissatisfied and joked.
The sloppy man nodded solemnly upon hearing this. "A certain family doesn't sell their daughter, they just want to find a way for her to survive!"
"Hahaha~
Looking for a way out? "
The tooth man laughed wantonly, his face full of sarcasm.
"A certain family can meet here every day, dozens of people who are looking for ways to survive for their children.
In these days, no family has many children who cannot support themselves.
But a certain family has never seen someone as arrogant as you.
He wanted to find a way out for his daughter, but he didn't want to see her suffer.
If such a good thing really happened, a certain family would have sent their son away, and it would be your turn to mess around here!
Get out!
Don't disturb a business!
If you really love your daughter, why don't you castrate yourself and send yourself to the palace.
Maybe it can really make your daughter live well! "
Hearing the words, the man closed his eyes and meditated, as if he was seriously considering Yaren's suggestion.
Seeing this, the little girl worriedly tugged at the man's tattered sleeves, and whispered, "Daddy, let's go back.
No more snacks, Qi'er! "
The man squeezed out a rare smile, and stroked the little girl's withered yellow hair, which was carefully groomed.
"Qi'er listened.
If you follow your father, you will suffer hardships in this life.
Daddy will find a good family with you, and you will no longer have to eat weeds with Daddy in the future. "
"Weeds are delicious.
Kyle loves it. "
The little girl said insincerely.
Hearing this, the man took a deep breath and shook his head bitterly.
Then without further words, he took her little hand and turned to leave.
His situation is indeed too miserable.
If they forcefully bring the little girl with them, both of them may not be able to survive.
But at this moment.
A young man in gorgeous clothes with a flimsy face led a dozen followers and stood in front of the two of them.
Just passing by.
The rather delicate appearance of the little girl fell into his eyes instantly.
This kind of young girl is his favorite thing.
"Old man, do you want to sell your daughter?"
The young man stroked his chin with an obscene look on his face.
Seeing this, the desolate middle-aged man shook his head resolutely, and replied in a deep voice: "Not for sale!"
"Yo ho!
My son just now clearly heard that you are going to sell your daughter, how dare you say no to it now?
Are you looking down on my Changping County Government? "
The man's face changed.
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to reply, he waved and shouted: "Come on!
Catch him for me!
This person insulted our county government, and he must be sent to the magistrate today for justice! "
"promise!"
All the attendants agreed in unison, rolled up their sleeves and wanted to go forward to grab someone.
Seeing this, the desolate middle-aged man protected the little girl and retreated slowly towards the street.
The onlookers obviously knew the young master, and they all shook their heads and sighed angrily.
Only the one-toothed man gritted his teeth and stood in front of his followers.
"Little Lu Mingsheng, meet Mr. Zhang!"
Lu Mingsheng bowed and worshiped with a smiling face.
Mr. Zhang laughed jokingly, waved his hands impatiently and said, "Lu Mingsheng, I know you.
Why, how dare you stop me from doing things? "
"Don't dare!
dare not! "
Lu Mingsheng cupped his hands and saluted, and said with a shy smile: "You know how humble you are, so how dare you stop Mr. Zhang from doing things.
It's just that last night Bachelor Ma Zhou Ma came to the door late at night and said that His Royal Highness wanted to find a personal maid for Princess Honghua.
The little one has already negotiated with this brother just now, and I also ask Mr. Zhang to be merciful and don't make things difficult for the villain. "
"Prince?!"
Mr. Zhang's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his painful buttocks, his eyes were instantly filled with blood red.
The old grievances between him and Su Jing have not been reported yet.
"boom!"
"Go away!"
Mr. Zhang suddenly got into trouble and kicked Lu Mingsheng to the ground forcefully.
Immediately, he raised his finger and pointed at the desolate father and daughter, and shouted angrily: "Catch her for me!
No matter who comes to obstruct him, he will be beaten to death by this palace!
I want to have a look today.
In this capital city of Chang'an, who would dare to bully me from the lineage of the founder of the country! "
"promise!"
The entourage stepped forward.
Most of the people could not bear to close their eyes.
In the hands of this famous lecher, one can imagine what will happen to the little girl.
It's just that in the face of the founder of the country, even the officials in the yamen dare not be presumptuous, and how dare the common people resist.
"Ugh!
Let's go, keep the promise.
He is the person His Royal Highness is looking for. "
Ma Zhou shook his head with a sigh, and said rather bitterly: "I don't know if it's worth it just because of him to confront Zhang Liang, Duke of Changping."
"Sir, what's the matter with you today?
In the past, you would not have allowed Xungui to bully the common people like this. "
Pei Xingjian asked suspiciously.
Ma Zhou smiled complicatedly when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "In the past, when His Highness was away, I only acted on behalf of myself.
But now His Highness has returned to the palace.
No matter what this palace does, others will think that it is His Highness's order.
Your Highness treats me with kindness, so I have no choice but to put His Highness first! "
Pei Xingjian was still puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that in his heart, he faintly resisted becoming an official in the court.
