Sitting in the most luxurious De Sheng Building in Datong Mansion, watching the people coming and going on the street, Zhu Shou felt very comfortable.
Along the way, he battled wits and courage with the Ming generals, and also played hide and seek with Yang Tinghe who was chasing after him. The most convenient road from the capital to Datong is to go north, out of Yanqing Guard (Juyongguan), and then
Turn to the northwest, follow the Xuanjin Official Road, pass through Zhangjiakou Fort, Chaigou Fort, Tianchengwei, Yanghewei, and finally reach Datong.
However, this road goes around the edge of the Great Wall. For the sake of Zhu Shou's safety, Zhang Yong was the first to vote against it. Chen Jing and Su Jin also did not agree that the emperor was in danger, so the large group set off from Fangshan County.
Go west along the Juma River, pass through Zijing Pass, Guangchang, Lingqiu, enter Pingxingling Pass, pass through Dashikou and Xiaoshikou, arrive at Yingzhou, and finally go north along the Sangqian River to Datong.
This road is not easy to walk, and you have to cross several mountains, but the only advantage is that you can take a trip to Beiyue Hengshan in Hunyuan Prefecture to see the scenery. Therefore, by the time Zhu Shou's honor guard arrived at Datong Prefecture, it was already the second day of the fourth year of Zhengde.
It's the first day of the month.
Although the emperor has left, the struggle between the two parties in the capital still continues. Boss Liu is fighting more and more vigorously. The two parties are not only fighting in the capital, but also in various parts of the country.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs controlled by the Eunuch Party first proposed to inspect the civil servants from the two capitals and thirteen provinces. At the same time, they ordered Liu Jian and Xie, the former academicians, to remove themselves from their citizenship and become civilians. They also ordered the civil servants from Yuyao, Zhou Li, Xu Ziyuan and He
Xu Long sent all troops to the border areas to be exiled.
Finally, Li Viper raised the white flag: Lao Liu, let's stop fighting. Just say whatever you want to do.
Liu Jin said with embarrassment: I'm sorry, the slap on the face was too smooth, I won't stop for a while.
Zhu Shou, who was far away in Datong, naturally had no concern for the factional struggle between Liu and Li. Without him, the Ming Dynasty was still prosperous. Therefore, the emperor's eyes were looking at a horse galloping towards him at the other end of the long street.
The good-looking thing is not the horse, but the person, and she is a very beautiful woman.
Her lips opened and closed, as if she was humming a country slang song from Datong. She was holding a long bow in her hand, with a small white flower pinned to her long black hair, lining the long street.
The snowy field looks very dazzling.
Behind her, there were several athletes dressed as servants, also riding horses, rushing through the streets as if no one else was around.
Zhang Yong frowned and was about to speak to the eunuch accompanying him, but was stopped by Zhu Shou with a wave of his hand.
"Let her come closer. I want to see this beauty from Datong Mansion." Seeing what Zhang Yong seemed to want to say, Zhu Shou smiled again, "There is no need to tell me her origins, and there is no need to send her to me.
.”
The guards and soldiers occupying various positions on the long street immediately received orders from their respective generals. Those who should sell candied haws-alongs should continue to sell candied haws-alongs; those who should make iron, continue to make iron; and those who should open a casino, continue to open a casino.
In addition to guarding key points in the city, nearly 10,000 pro-army troops gathered nearly 2,000 people on this long street alone. All of them followed Zhu Shou's instructions, dressed up in disguise, and acted as various ordinary people.
Let him enjoy the addiction of civilian life.
At this time, the girl had already galloped to the front of the restaurant. She was wearing a blue cashmere robe. Next to her arrow boots, there was an epee as wide as three fingers. Next to the silver saddle, were two pots of red swallow-tailed swords.
arrow.
During the Ming Dynasty, Datong Mansion was rich in beauties. After Zhu Shou came here, he also saw many beauties brought to bed, but they were all different from this girl.
Other girls like to wear clothes that fit well. After taking off their outer robes, they even fit closer to the body, trying to make themselves look slim and pleasant.
She is completely different.
The green-robed girl's robe is very loose, and the gown underneath is even looser and looser, which makes her look even more heroic...
Cyan is not suitable for girls, and she is not as elegant as Sister Li Feng or as charming as Wang Guifei, but her free and easy, non-self-conscious, and non-pretentious colors all attracted Zhu Shou's attention.
Light it up.
She was like a spring breeze blowing in the face, relaxed, natural and pleasant. Especially in this mid-winter season, under the warm sunshine, she rode a horse and walked into Zhu Shou's heart.
"Stop her!" Zhu Shou suddenly wanted to keep this girl, so he said.
His words were an imperial edict. Under the leadership of the generals, countless personal guards began to rush towards the girl. The one running at the front was the tattooed Juren Huang Yuan, who was now Zhu Shou's knife-wielding officer.
.
Before the guards could get closer, the girl took the initiative to rein in the horse, raised her right hand, and ordered the following servants to stop. Then she jumped off the horse, and instead of walking towards the restaurant where Zhu Shou was, she walked towards a fortune teller.
in front of the stall.
"Misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable, and there is truth in what you say."
This fortune-telling stall facing the restaurant is different from other fortune-telling stalls. There are no gimmicks. The simple eight characters make it look slightly different.
And the middle-aged man sitting behind the stall looked even more different.
Other fortune tellers are afraid of fooling people, so they usually dress like Taoist priests. Some of them are more powerful, and they even dress like Tibetan monks. On the back, they write a reincarnated Dharma king who can predict all things in the world.
This middle-aged man was wearing an ordinary linen cotton coat and a pair of thick-soled cloth shoes with a few patches on the uppers.
He was very tall, sitting behind the stall, like a tiger that had just woken up.
The sun shines through the cloth roof of the stall and shines on his two sharp eyebrows. You can vaguely see his handsomeness back then, but the stubble on his face now also clearly shows his downfall.
Hearing someone approaching the stall, the middle-aged man straightened up, covered his eyes with a big hand, faced the sun, and looked at the girl.
"Who is this?" Zhu Shou was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands, bent his majestic body, and made a pause gesture towards the bottom of the restaurant, then turned around and said: "Little ancestor, this person's surname is Wang, and he is a good friend of Lao Nu.
.”
Zhu Shou stared at him with a half-smile, and after a while he said, "When did you have such a good friend?"
Seeing Zhang Yong's gesture, the guards retreated quietly like a tide, revealing the girl and her group, surrounding the fortune-telling stall.
There were a few drops of sweat on Zhang Yong's head. He gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and said with determination: "This man's name is Wang Shouren, and he is Lao Liu's mortal enemy."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Liu Jin's mortal enemy is naturally Zhang Yong's friend. There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
Although Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong belong to different groups, they have a lot of affection for each other.
"You can do it for my maid, why can't you do it for me?" When Zhu Shou led everyone to the fortune-telling stall, he could hear the girl saying loudly from a distance, "It counts, or doesn't count? Dare you say it?"
If you don't say a word, I'll chop you into pieces!"
"The girl is calculating marriage, and I am sure that the girl will chop me with a knife, but the calculation is not accurate; the girl will still chop me with a knife," Wang Shouren said slowly and calmly, with a smile on his face, "Forget it.
, it’s death; it doesn’t matter, it’s still death. In this case, it’s better to give up this life and preserve my unshakable reputation.”
The girl took two ingots of silver from a servant, slapped them on the fortune-telling stall, took out the heavy sword from her waist, slapped them on the stall, and shouted in a deep voice: "This is twenty taels! Enough for you to eat one or two.
It’s been a year now, and even buying a maid from the Dong Market is more than enough, so hurry up and do the math.”
Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Three things below do not count. The widow who killed her fiancée does not count. The person who has a grudge does not count. The family member who died unexpectedly does not count."…
The girl was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she burst into tears. Zhu Shou, who was watching from the side, felt a pain in his heart. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw the servants pulling out their sabers one after another, preparing to kill Wang Shouren.
Hacked to death.
"Stop!" the girl shouted, and kicked the servant who rushed to the front. The force was no less than that of a brave man. She stretched out her sleeve and wiped her eyes, stared at Wang Shouren, and looked at Wang Shouren for a moment.
He said with sobs, "Sir, you are really eloquent, please give me some advice for this little girl."
Wang Shouren saw the emperor and a group of people standing quietly in the distance. He was slightly stunned, and his face returned to a calm look. He nodded to Zhu Shou from afar, then looked at the girl and said with a smile: "I'm here."
It seems that this girl’s marriage is not worthy of consideration.”
The girl's face was still wet with tears, and she said harshly: "You thief, don't think that I dare not kill you. A few days ago, you robbed Ma Mansion's bank account, and now that the case has been revealed, you will be arrested without mercy."
Wang Shouren laughed loudly: "The second Miss Ma's frame-up skills are indeed first-class."
The girl was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized: "You dare to deceive me with lies?"
Everyone in Datong Mansion knows that Ma Qinglian, the second daughter of the Ma family, had a baby daughter since she was a child, but before they could get married, her fiancée fell ill and died of a sudden illness. After observing the ceremony for three years, Ma Qinglian was promised to a girl from Shachong in the east of the city.
The eldest grandson of the Liu family was planning to get married in April this year. Unfortunately, just after the Chinese New Year, Xiao Liu's carriage was frightened and rushed into a ravine, causing a crash and killing everyone.
The eldest brother Ma Ang wanted to curry favor with the Cui family in Daizhou, so he persuaded his widowed sister to marry Cui Kang, the second son of the Cui family. Cui Kang was the younger brother of Cui Yuan, the consort of Princess Yongkang. His first wife had just died. He was in his forties.
Not good looking.
Ma Qinglian refused her eldest brother on the pretext that she had to observe rituals for three years. She was driven out of the city to hunt and get some fresh air. One of her waiting girls had a fortune telling from Wang Shouren yesterday, and it was said to be quite accurate. When she got back, she told someone from the outer courtyard
Having children has become a good thing.
So Miss Ma Er kept thinking about this matter. When she returned to the city, she happened to meet Wang Shouren, who had been an extra for Zhu Shou for several days, and wanted to calculate her marriage.
Wang Shouren said seriously: "I have never seen Miss Ma, and I have never heard anything about Miss Ma."
Ma Qinglian said angrily: "You thief, you must have heard about me from my maid, and now you are forced by me to speak indiscriminately, and you have exposed your flaws!"
Wang Shouren laughed dumbly: "Miss Ma, look at those two coins of yours!"
Ma Qinglian spat, lifted the heavy sword, put it on Wang Shouren's neck, and shouted: "What's the point of silver?"
Wang Shouren pointed to the side of the silver ingot: "Is there a character for horse?"
Ma Qinglian replied: "Of course the silver ingots in my Ma Mansion have the character "horse" in them!"
Wang Shouren smiled and said: "How can I have the Ma Mansion silver ingot and dare to gallop on the Great Wall in the city? The servants I bring with me are wearing robes embroidered with the word "horse". Who are they if they are not the ladies of the Ma family? Besides, there are many people in this city.
Everyone knows that there is only one young lady in Ma Mansion, so the identity of Second Young Lady Ma will naturally come to light."
Ma Qinglian was dubious by him and asked: "Then why do you think I am a new widow?"
Wang Shouren pointed to the small white flower beside her long hair and said with a smile: "If a close relative in the family had not passed away, who would wear a small white flower? There have been no funerals in Ma Mansion in the city recently, and those who died were in-laws.
, Miss Ma's hair accessories, one can tell at a glance that Yunying is unmarried, not a newly married widow, so what is it? Miss Ma is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the betrothed husband is naturally not too old, so he did not die suddenly.
, what is it again?”
Ma Qinglian was completely convinced by him and said repeatedly: "Sir, I hope you can give me some guidance for this little girl."
Wang Shouren glanced at Zhu Shou, and as if he had some realization in his heart, he opened his mouth and said something.
