At night, there were still many people on Chongwenmen Street in Beijing. As the most prosperous main road, there were many shops and merchants. Even at night, many shops were still open all night. Therefore, it was the focus of Shuntian Prefecture. Especially after Wang Jie, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, took office, he cleaned up the yamen runners and patrolled continuously, and the order of this street was immediately restored.
So at night, people who were busy working during the day would brave the cold wind to visit some shops. However, in places like silk shops and jewelry shops where valuable things were sold, the shopkeepers and clerks would send off the last batch of customers and prepare to close the doors. Otherwise, if a theft lawsuit was encountered in the middle of the night and the government could not solve it, a year's salary would not be enough to compensate.
At this moment, a woman wearing a veil came out of a jewelry store, accompanied by two maids and three or five followers. The shopkeeper personally escorted her to the door, turned his head and winked at the clerk to pack up and prepare to close the store, then said with a smile on his face: "Fourth Miss, take care, don't worry, even if it takes a long time, I will definitely get you out, and I will definitely not miss the big day!"
"Well. Thank you very much, Manager Qi!" The girl in the veiled hat opened her mouth and thanked him in a soft voice. The manager was so happy that he even said he didn't dare to say anything. He bowed and watched her walk towards the exquisite but not luxurious carriage.
At this time, the fat boy Lu Sanlang swaggered out of a nearby bookstore, holding two books in his hands, mumbling something. If you get close to him, you can hear that he is reciting poems without making any sense. He seemed to glance at the girl in the veiled hat inadvertently, and when he saw that she seemed to be looking at him, he looked away guiltily.
But in an instant, Lu Sanlang regretted it. What was he afraid of? Zhu Ying had already told him that this was a matter of mutual consent, and that people were happy to meet him, so why should he be so timid? He mustered up the courage to look over, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, first blowing up the corner of his robe, and when he looked up, it blew up his veil.
Seeing the cute face underneath, especially when she reached out to grab the veil blowing in the wind, with a look of anger and frustration, Lu Sanlang found it so vivid and moving that he stared at that face for a long time unconsciously, until the other party took back the veil and suddenly glared at him with some embarrassment and anger, he quickly looked away, but he had already agreed in his heart.
Well, as for personality and character, that was introduced by Zhu Ying, so it should, probably, possibly, maybe...it shouldn't be bad, right
Lu Sanlang comforted himself in his heart, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from the other side of the street, which was particularly harsh in the relatively quiet atmosphere of the night. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the horse hooves, but saw that it was a group of people. Although he couldn't see their heads, faces and clothes clearly because of the dim light, he still shrank in his heart.
Why did he feel that this person seemed to have bad intentions
Bad premonitions always become reality. Sure enough, he saw a team of more than 20 people rushing towards him.
Lu Sanlang had never seen such a murderous scene before, and subconsciously wanted to hide in the bookstore. But when he thought that this was the first time he met a girl... maybe in front of his future wife, he felt it was really embarrassing to show his weakness, so he pretended to be calm and stood under the eaves without moving.
