The broken basket, the scattered fruits and vegetables, the bloodstain on the woman's forehead...
The second-generation rich kids riding past behind turned a blind eye to this, as if the scene before them was invisible. They continued to ride past with laughter, full of joy of enjoying the spring.
"Mom, mom..." The **-year-old girl hugged her brother and cried as she helped the woman up. Then she glared at the culprit who rode away on horseback and cursed, "None of these black-hearted bastards are good people."
"Nannan, hurry up, shut up. Don't let these people hear you. We can't afford to offend them." The woman with blood on her forehead quickly covered her daughter's mouth with her hands, with a look of worry on her face. In her opinion, she was already lucky, at least those second-generation rich kids didn't hold them responsible for blocking the road.
The people around also changed color, and followed with great worry, reminding the little girl to stop cursing. If we offend these second-generation officials, we will suffer. Now they don't hold you responsible for blocking the road, thank God.
Although the little girl closed her mouth, she still stubbornly glared at the nobles riding horses. The woman pulled the little girl worriedly, asking her to stop glaring at the officials, fearing that it would bring trouble to herself.
But the little girl was very stubborn. No matter how the woman tried to persuade her, she just stared at those people stubbornly, as if she wanted to remember them.
Horses passed by one after another, and the little girl stared and took note stubbornly.
Just as the woman was trying to persuade the little girl, she suddenly felt silence all around her. The people who were originally around her all moved away and looked at them worriedly and nervously.
Seeing the expressions of the people around them, the woman and the little girl seemed to understand something, and turned their heads to see a shadow. They looked up and saw a gentleman with a refined temperament, who looked only about fifteen years old, riding his horse slowly to a stop in front of them, and then got off the horse. It was Zhu Ping'an.
In the little girl's opinion, this guy in royal blue warrior uniform with arrow sleeves looked like the honest and simple brother Erniu from the neighboring house if you just looked at his appearance.
However, a good man like Erniu can never be compared to this black-hearted bastard!!
The woman saw Zhu Ping'an slowly stop his horse in front of them, and she was so scared that she trembled all over. She thought that Zhu Ping'an heard her daughter's abuse or saw her daughter glaring at them. Then she thought that Zhu Ping'an came to call for punishment.
"Sir... Sir, I'm sorry... It's my ignorance that offended you." The woman was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She apologized and kowtowed.
"Mom..." The little girl pulled the woman and glared at Zhu Ping'an fiercely.
It was clearly these people's fault. Why did we have to apologize? Why did we have to kowtow to them? Horses were not allowed on this street. We had already hidden on the side of the road, but they still rode their horses and ran into us, injuring us. Why did we have to apologize
Is there any justice in the world? So the little girl glared at Zhu Ping'an with hatred, biting her lips, like an angry little lion, as if she was going to pounce on Zhu Ping'an and take two bites of meat in the next second.
Just in the blink of an eye, when the woman was trembling and about to kowtow in apology, Zhu Ping'an, who was wearing a royal blue warrior uniform, took the lead and helped the woman up. In order to avoid suspicion, he still helped her up with his sleeves.
"We should be the ones to say sorry. I'm sorry, sister-in-law." Zhu Ping'an said apologetically, and then bowed to the crowd around him.
Huh? He was apologizing, didn't I hear it wrong? The people around were very surprised and could hardly believe what they saw.
What evil plans is this black-hearted bastard planning again? ! Could it be that he wants to... ... A few days ago, I heard Xiaoling, a maid in a wealthy family next door, say that some wealthy families are very perverted and some like to bully young girls. Could it be that this bad guy is planning such a disgusting idea... ...
Just thinking about it, the little girl looked at Zhu Ping'an with even more hatred!
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Hurry up." Fatty Zhou's voice came from the front.
"Okay, I'm coming." Zhu Pingan replied. Then he reached into his sleeve, took out about two taels of silver, put it in the hands of a little girl with a strange look, and then got on the horse.
"I apologize to you on behalf of my friend in front. Little sister, take your mother to the clinic in front to get bandaged."
Zhu Ping'an said something to the little girl on horseback, then rode forward to chase Fatty Zhou and the others.
Zhu Pingan compensated the women and children for the people in front of him. He did not have any special purpose, but he could not bear to see them suffer pain and loss. Especially when he saw the fruits and vegetables falling from the basket, he always thought of the time when he went to the town with Zhu's father and Chen to sell wild game in Xiahe Village when he was a child.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an did not spend a lot of money lavishly, but only gave them two taels of silver. However, two taels of silver was a lot for a farmer's family. It was enough to compensate for their losses, and there must be a lot left over. Two taels of silver was also an unexpected gain for them.
Zhu Ping'an didn't think much about it and rode away.
That bad guy actually paid compensation? And he didn’t ask for anything? This can’t be true? I must be dreaming!!! The little girl looked at the silver coins in her hand, still unable to believe it, her eyes and mouth widened in shock.
The second-generation official not only did not pursue the matter, but actually gave money? This silver must weigh more than two taels, right? ! The woman was also shocked. Looking at the silver in the little girl's hand, she couldn't help but pinch herself secretly. This was actually real, not a dream!
The people around them, who were originally worried about the women, now envied them.
Although the basket was deformed, it was in good condition after a little repair, and the fruits and vegetables that rolled out were picked up and sold. In addition, although the woman's forehead was bleeding, it was obvious that it was just a scratch, and it would heal the next day after applying some medicine. The woman and her child were lucky and met a noble person.
The nobleman paid two taels of silver as compensation. How come it wasn't me who was hit? Many onlookers couldn't help but sigh when they saw this.
"You are so lucky to have met a noble person." The onlookers sighed as they helped the women pick vegetables.
"That's right, his elder sister should be careful in the future. This noble man is not easy to meet. You should be extremely careful next time you enter the city. If you encounter such a situation again, stay as far away as possible."
While people were expressing their feelings, they were also reminding them to be more careful when entering the city in the future.
"Hey, do you think that young man looks like the number one scholar who rode his horse and boasted about the street some time ago?" someone suddenly asked.
"No, but now that you mention it, I think it's a bit similar. Last time I was standing in this position and watched the top scholar praise the street." Someone also touched his chin and thought.
"Come on, the number one scholar is much more handsome than this nobleman. He is the god of literature incarnate." An old lady said firmly, "I saw him with my own eyes last time. He was so handsome."
"Haha, that's right. Last time I thought the number one scholar was young and handsome." People nodded and agreed with the aunt's judgment.
Slowly, the women carrying baskets and their children left after thanking everyone. The streets became lively again, and it was hard to tell that a horse-riding accident had ever happened here. (To be continued.)
