Kidnapping, like murder, rape, and robbery, are all capital crimes in the area under Liu Xin's jurisdiction. It is precisely because of the very severe penalties for these violent crimes that those who are young have to restrain themselves. After hearing these people
Shouting, the group of soldiers quickly ran over and surrounded Zhu Rong and the others.
For the past three years, Zoke County has implemented this kind of law. No matter how barbarian it is, all barbarians are treated equally. Zhu Rong naturally knows this. She does not want to bear this charge for no reason and make Liu Xin unhappy, so she stepped forward and said:
"Brothers, these people are openly molesting women from good families. I am about to arrest them and take them to see my brother. Please help me."
The captain saw several young and beautiful barbarian women. He couldn't figure out their origins for a while, and he couldn't force them too much. He had to hand over his hands and said, "May I ask this girl, who is your elder brother?"
Zhu Rong felt a little embarrassed, his cheeks turned red, and he murmured: "My elder brother is your Master Zhou Mu, so please take me to the Zhou Mu Mansion."
As soon as she said these words, not only the soldiers in the team were shocked, but even the few people who were whispering in the alley just now were covered in sweat. The captain was also quite surprised and said bravely: "This girl, even if
You are the lord's relative, and you cannot arrest people at will. Please also ask the girl to understand the difficulties of your subordinates."
Zhu Rong couldn't help but feel elated when he heard him call her Liu Xin's relative. He waved his hand and said magnanimously: "In this case, I don't have to do anything for myself. These people are teasing me in the street, so I'll leave it to you to deal with it."
, quickly take us to the Prefectural Mufu. This Xiangyang city is so big that I almost got lost."
When the captain heard this, he thought they were out for fun from the state shepherd's mansion and could not find their way back. He was even more convinced that they were Liu Xin's relatives. But these people dared to molest them. It was simply lawless and he hurriedly said: "
Don't worry, girl, I'll leave these people to the villain, who will send these girls to the State Shepherd's Mansion."
After saying that, he moved his hand behind him, and several soldiers rushed forward, dragging those people down like wolves. In order to show off in front of Zhu Rong, he had to exert some secret power on these people.
It left no scars and made them scream in pain, which also helped Zhu Rong get rid of his bad breath.
Dongcheng District, where the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion is located, has always been heavily guarded. Even the soldiers patrolling the city are not allowed to enter. Since the incident of Han Dang trying to kidnap Liu Yu, there has been a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. Guarding the alley.
The personal guards heard that Zhu Rong claimed to be Liu Xin's relative. Although they did not dare to neglect her, they refused to let her in. Instead, they sent someone to report to Ma Yun.
Ma Yun knew exactly what happened to Liu Xin in Zoke County. Like Liu Xin, she regarded the bet with Zhu Rong as a joke. Unexpectedly, Zhu Rong actually came to her door. Ma Yun hesitated for a moment
, although Liu Xin was not at home, she could not be turned away, so she had to settle down Zhu Rong first. Remembering that Sister Ling'er had accompanied Liu Xin to Zangke, she should have known Zhu Rong, so she ordered someone to call Ling'er.
Son, ask her to bring Zhu Rong into the house.
Ling'er knew Zhu Rong, but Zhu Rong didn't know Ling'er, just because at the three-surname alliance ceremony, their sisters had all been transformed by Liu Xin. The Ling'er sisters have now become the children's mothers.
A little more agile, but a little more charming. Zhu Rong couldn't help but feel wary when he saw such a beautiful woman coming to pick him up. It seemed that his father's teachings were good. If he wanted to win Liu Xin's favor, he had to show off.
Just act like a lady.
Zhu Rong followed Ling'er, imitating her appearance, taking small steps, twisting and turning, and came to the flower hall in the backyard of the Zhou Mu Mansion. He saw a beautiful young woman sitting above him, and he knew that this person must be Liu.
Xin's wife hurriedly came forward and said a blessing: "The daughter of the people, Zhu Rong, comes to see my wife."
Ma Yun didn't show any airs at all. She stretched out her hand to lift Zhu Rong up, looked her up and down, and couldn't help but secretly praise her. Zhu Rong was not only pretty, but also tall. According to Ma Yun's estimation, her height would not be less than 1.72 meters, and she was rosy.
With a beautiful face, a red dress, and a hot figure, in future generations, with a little training, she will definitely become a famous model.
Zhu Rong saw Ma Yun just staring at him and looking at him non-stop. When he was about to speak, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Ma Yun laughed when she saw this and said: "I hope that the girl has come all the way. She must be hungry. Please use some cakes first, and then I can help the girl wash away the dust."
However, Zhu Rong always kept in mind her father's instructions. Han women's appetite is very small. Eating too much would damage their image. She had no choice but to endure her hunger and gently pinched a piece of pastry. The pastry was made of glutinous rice.
, added with osmanthus and rock sugar, it is fragrant and sweet, and it is delicious in the mouth.
If others eat it, it may satisfy their temporary hunger. For Zhu Rong, although it is delicious, it won't do much good. But in order to maintain her image, she only ate one piece and refused to eat any more. She forced herself to endure it, but it was a pity for her stomach.
But he didn't listen to her orders and screamed again for no reason.
Ma Yun couldn't help laughing and asked from the side: "Miss Zhu, is this pastry delicious?"
Zhu Rong nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you madam, this is the best pastry I have ever eaten."
Ma Yun smiled and said: "Since you like to eat, then you should eat more."
Zhu Rong waved his hands repeatedly and declined: "No, madam. I'm full."
As she said this, her dark and bright eyes were fixed on the cakes on the tables and could not move away, and her stomach grumbled twice in cooperation.
Ma Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud, stood up and said, "Miss Zhu, your coquettishness is not like the forthright temperament of the Man family's daughter. Okay, if you don't want to eat any more cakes, then we'll start dinner early."
Zhu Rong was so embarrassed by her words that he blushed and said nothing. He lowered his head and followed Ma Yun to the restaurant, and suddenly his eyes lit up. There were two large tables in the spacious and bright hall, which were round and surrounded by
There is a circle of exquisite wooden chairs. It has been three years since Zoke County came under the rule of Liu Xin. The chairs are in the
It gradually became popular in the local area. After all, the local climate is humid, and sitting on the floor for a long time can easily cause joint diseases. The promotion of chairs can solve these problems. Zhu Rong no longer sits on the floor in his home. There is nothing unusual about the chairs, except for these two large round tables.
It was indeed refreshing for her.
But Ma Yun had already walked up to the top, waved to her, and said: "Come on, Miss Zhu, you are our guest, just sit next to me, and we will start eating when everyone is here."
Seeing Ma Yun greeting him warmly, Zhu Rong looked a little embarrassed on his face, and felt even less happy in his heart. Ma Yun called her a guest, which meant that he had not accepted her yet, but Ma Yun was Liu Xin's real wife, so this
One level must be passed. Moreover, Zhu Rong knew that Han people have very strict rules and hierarchies in their homes.
Shen Yan, she was going to marry Liu Xin, and the seat next to Ma Yun was not something she could sit at will. Liu Xin must have more than one wife and concubine, Ma Yun, so she casually sat down next to Ma Yun, what would others think? If she provoked
Because of their jealousy, his life in the State Shepherd's Mansion was not easy.
When she was hesitating, she heard a person behind her say: "This is sister Zhu Rong. It's unfortunate that you came because the master is not at home."
When Zhu Rong looked back, he saw another beautiful young woman. He didn't know which of Liu Xin's wives she was, so he had to hurriedly salute her.
Ma Yun was already there and said: "Zhaoji, don't be too busy recognizing your sister. You still don't know what the master means. I wish you, girl, sit down first. They will be there in a moment."
The rule in the Zhou Mu Mansion is to wait until everyone is ready before eating. Not long after, beauties came in one after another with their children. Only then did Zhu Rong realize that she, who had always relied on her outstanding appearance, was among these people.
Apart from being taller, there is really nothing outstanding about him. The dishes in Zhou Mufu are rich and delicious, and the white porcelain bowls used to serve the rice are also very exquisite, but they are just a little too small for Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong swallowed three times and reached the bottom of the bowl of rice. He didn't seem to feel anything in his stomach yet, but when he saw several ladies chewing their food carefully, he was too embarrassed to ask for another bowl.
Ma Yun saw it and said with a smile: "Miss Zhu, when you get here, it's like you're at your own home. You're welcome. Come, help Miss Zhu add another bowl."
Zhu Rong was really hungry, and the food on the table was very delicious, so his bowl of rice quickly ran out.
Bian Yu and the others laughed when they saw Zhu Rong eating so fast. Zhu Qian saw that she was a little embarrassed, so she put a few chopsticks into her bowl and said, "Miss Zhu, don't patronize her."
Eat, eat more food."
Ma Yun had already seen that Zhu Rong's appetite was really big, so she ordered the maid to serve her another bowl of rice and said: "Miss Zhu, don't imitate them. They all eat very little. Eat as much as you can."
point."
Zhu Rong looked at the delicate little bowl in front of him and was stunned for a long time. He finally held back a sentence and said, "Madam, can you really eat whatever you want? Can you change it to a larger bowl for me?"
A large bowl of rice was served. He was really hungry. The dishes on the table were very tempting. Zhu Rong couldn't care less about pretending to be a lady. He opened his cheeks and started gobbling it up. Soon, everyone on the table
They all stopped holding their chopsticks and looked at Zhu Rong with wide eyes in disbelief. In just this moment, most of the dishes on the table were in her stomach.
Only then did Zhu Rong put down the bowl in her hand with satisfaction. It was already the ninth bowl of rice she had eaten. When she looked up, Zhu Rong found that everyone was staring at her. Then she lowered her head and looked at the empty bowl in front of her, and said "
" All of a sudden it turned red, all the way to the roots of the ears, and he said in a confused voice: "Madam, I, did I eat too much?"
Before Ma Yun could answer, Cai Yan had already joked from the side: "Don't worry, little sister, our Zhou Mufu family has a big business and can afford to support you."
Zhu Rong looked at Cai Yan, then at Ma Yun and several other women, and suddenly cried "Wow".
