The little girl looked up at the young man, blinked her big watery eyes, and said timidly, "Daddy..."
The official in the blue shirt was spitting all over the place, thinking in his heart that after this incident, he might have a way to become an official. He was confused by the sudden scene in front of him, and he came back to his senses. Seeing this The ragged woman tugged on his sleeve, immediately waved her hand in disgust, and said angrily, "You have misunderstood the person, who is your husband-in-law!"
The woman pushed back the messy hair on her forehead, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't you know me? I, I am my mother..."
The young official's face changed, could it really be a romantic debt he incurred during his studies
But he couldn't remember when this girl named Miao Niang had a relationship with him. He now has a family, and his wife's family has some power in the capital. However, he couldn't admit it at this time, he shook his sleeves violently, and said loudly: "I don't know you, you must have misunderstood the person."
The woman froze in place, staring at him blankly, the excitement on her face gradually disappeared, and her complexion turned gray.
"In order to find you, I took Xiaoman on the road for a year, and finally arrived in the capital, but Xiaoman was seriously ill. If it hadn't been for kind people to save me, it would have been, long ago..." She said in a desolate voice: "I know , you, you already have a family in Kyoto, I, I will not bother you anymore, I will raise Xiaoman alone... "
The little girl looked up at the young official, her big eyes filled with tears, "Mother, does Daddy want us now..."
The woman helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Xiao Man, it's mother who admitted the wrong person, let's go, mother will take you to find your real father..."
After speaking, he took the little girl's hand and left without looking back.
In the restaurant, the young official stood there in a daze, looked at the gradually disgusted eyes of the people around him, opened his mouth, but finally left without saying anything.
"Seeing that he looks like a dog, I can't imagine that he is also such a wolf-hearted person."
"It's just like the Chen Shimei in the drama. I thought that the story was only found in the drama. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
"Abandoning his wife and son, he is still a scholar in vain, and he is also worthy of the word scholar?"
"He read the 'Book of Sages' all over his mouth, did the sages teach him these things!"
"That woman is pitiful. What she said just now is clearly hopeless in her heart, but she is pitiful for the mother and child..."
…
After the green-clothed official left, the people in the restaurant became filled with righteous indignation.
In their minds, the words of scholars still have some weight. These people read the books of sages and sages, and they talk about great principles, but what kind of reason can a beast in clothes and clothes who can even abandon their wives and children abandon their children? Come
One of them shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the princess, has never paid attention to such slanderous words. What Her Highness cares about is only the people of Jingguo. How many new laws have been implemented these days and how many people can afford it?" Rice, how many people can read books, don't even think about how much their wives and children have been favored by Her Royal Highness, these people are wolf-hearted, wolf-hearted... "
Another person said angrily: "If this is a disaster star, then I hope that there will be a few more disaster stars like this in Jingguo..."
In the restaurant, many people showed shame on their faces. They almost believed what the wolf-hearted man said just now. How many of them benefited from His Highness, and instead of repaying their favor, they Helping some people with ulterior motives to slander her is ungrateful...
"Bah!" Lao Fang spat out a mouthful of chicken bones and cursed, "Scum!"
Then a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked, "Master, do you feel that the woman just now looks familiar?"
"Not very familiar..." Li Yi nodded, got up and said, "Let's go, go and have a look elsewhere."
At the entrance of a certain tea house, the staff stopped Li Yi and the three of them, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, someone has booked this place today..."
He casually took the ingot of silver thrown by Lao Fang, with a bright smile on his face, "Three guests, please..."
There are quite a few people in the teahouse, most of them are young people dressed as literati. They should be holding a poetry meeting or something like that. Some people write with pens, and some comment loudly.
"Now that the emperor is sick, the East Palace is empty, the women are in power, the rules are in chaos, the sky is warning, and the court doesn't care. I really don't know where the future of Jingguo lies..."
Someone in the teahouse frowned. Today, everyone is making friends through literature. Although young people are full of ambitions, they will inevitably discuss state affairs when they get together. Almost all the officials in the court have seen Ying Huo with their own eyes. What is the intention of this talented man surnamed Wang to say such remarks at this time
"People who read in my generation..."
The talented man surnamed Wang only started his next sentence before being interrupted by a voice.
A woman with heavy makeup and a bloated figure broke in from the outside, followed by several burly men, and cursed: "Students, don't you scholars have to pay for prostitution?"
The face of the talented man surnamed Wang changed, and he immediately walked forward quickly, and whispered: "I didn't say that, in two days..."
"Bah!" The old bustard waved his hand violently, and said angrily: "It's only natural to pay whores, and it's not easy for us to open the door to do business. If you don't pay today, I will drag you to see the official!"
The talented man surnamed Wang didn't care about the current situation anymore, and quickly whispered: "Two days, just two days..."
"No money, right?" The bustard glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "Arrest him to see the official!"
Several burly men behind him immediately rushed forward.
The talented man surnamed Wang was quickly taken away, leaving everyone in the teahouse looking at each other in dismay.
Talented people have been romantic since ancient times, and visiting brothels is nothing, it can even be called an elegant thing, but visiting brothels without paying is a bit too much...
This kind of person who has lost moral character, tsk tsk, I don't bother to be with him...
Li Yi took a sip of his tea. The trick played by the Cui family is too obvious and straightforward. It really has no technical content, but in terms of effectiveness, if it is not for the power of Goulan to intervene, some troubles will really arise .
These scholars have always been the most provocative group, and their influence cannot be underestimated.
Fortunately, that Grand Tutor Chu did not join forces with the Cui family this time, otherwise, things would have become much more difficult.
When he came out of the teahouse and was about to go to Goulan, he saw the young official he met in the restaurant again.
He sat paralyzed in front of a tall mansion gate and cried bitterly: "My lady, you believe me, I really don't know them, this is a frame-up, this is a frame-up!"
A maid threw a bundle out of it, and said disgustedly: "Miss said, let you go, go far away, if I see you in the capital next time, someone will break your leg!"
After finishing speaking, the manor closed with a "bang".
"It deserves it!"
Lao Fang spat fiercely at the distraught young man.
"Every time Zhengyi slaughters more dogs, he is always a scholar..." Li Yi shook his head, sighed, and soon walked to a hook bar.
A little girl biting candied haws came out and said happily, "Big brother, you're here!"
Li Yi touched her head and said with a smile, "Xiaoman, did you listen to Sister Ruoqing today?"
The little girl nodded sharply: "Xiaoman has always been very obedient, and she performed on stage yesterday..."
