The person who came was wearing a bright green Confucian shirt, with precious jade at his waist. He had pretty features, but there were bags under his eyes and his steps were a little light. At first glance, it was clear that he was someone who had been addicted to wine and sex all year round.
The visitor is the second son of the eldest lady and the third brother of Chai Jiangcui - Chai Xingsheng. Although Chai Jiangcui and the eldest lady have some differences, in the memory of the original owner,
This young man from the Chai family has a very good relationship with her. He can be said to be the closest person in the Chai family besides Chai Jian.
"Little sister, how are you feeling now?"
Chai Xingsheng stretched out his hand to pull up a chair, touched his nose, and looked embarrassed.
Chai Jiangcui looked at her third brother's appearance and knew that he must have something to do with her. Over the years, he had never gotten rid of his habit of touching his nose when something happened.
"Thanks to you, third brother, I can still move, little sister."
Chai Jiangcui's cheeks were slightly bulging, a little perfunctory.
Chai Xingsheng coughed slightly when he saw this,
"Little sister, tell me about that. Is Third Brother okay with you on weekdays?"
"Well, it's not bad."
After receiving Chai Jiangcui's affirmation, Chai Xingsheng sat up straight in an instant and asked tentatively:
"Since Third Brother, I'm okay with you, then Third Brother, I'm in trouble now, shouldn't you also help Third Brother?"
You have said this, how can you not help you? Chai Jiangcui secretly cursed,
"Tell me, what's the matter? It's too troublesome and I can't help you."
Hearing this, Chai Xingsheng rubbed his hands in anticipation,
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just that there's a new oiran named Fuqiu in Cuixian Tower recently, and that bastard from the second son of the Wang family is against me again.
I just want to give Miss Fuqiu a musical instrument to gain some favor and see if I can take advantage of the opportunity to win the game. But I don’t know what kind of musical instrument is good, so I just want to ask you to help me.
I'll give you an idea."
The second son Wang, whose full name is Wang Guicai, is also one of the famous dandies in the city.
The Wang family and the Chai family are the three major families in Yingya County. However, unlike the Chai family, the Wang family is the main merchant. One-third of the shops in the county are under the name of the Wang family, which can be said to be the richest.
Therefore, it is normal for Chai Xing to win the oiran competition, but not to be able to compete financially with Wang Guicai.
But this matter is a bit silly. He came to me secretly, but he was actually jealous of a brothel girl.
After listening to her third brother's story, Chai Jiangcui was speechless and lowered her voice:
"Third brother, your father is turning a blind eye when you go to spend time and drink. If he knows that you are jealous of the Second Young Master Wang over a brothel girl, I'm afraid he will break your legs."
Hearing his little sister mention his father, Chai Xingsheng couldn't help but trembled, but he quickly calmed down and said in an erratic tone:
"It's okay. Dad is so busy with official duties on weekdays, how could he notice these trivial matters. Little sister, just give me a warm word, will you help me?"
"Help, it's not enough for me to help. But I have promised you that if dad comes to accuse me in the future, I will definitely be the first to sell you."
Chai Jiangcui pinched her eyebrows and reluctantly agreed.
"It's not too late, let's set off now. This time I will definitely beat that guy Guicai."
Chai Xingsheng was overjoyed. Without waiting for Chai Jiangcui's reaction, he directly took her hand and ran towards the gate of Chai Mansion.
Seeing this, Zi Huan, who had been pretending to be a wooden figure on the side, hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, picked up the hem of his skirt and chased after her.
"Hey, Master, miss, please slow down!"
…
City God Temple Market
Da da da~
The carriage was walking on the wide bluestone road, and there was endless noise all around.
“Freshly baked meat buns with thin skin and thick meat, come and buy some meat buns!”
"Tanghulu, sweet and sour candied haws!"
"The newly arrived Laizhou Rouge, come and take a look..."
…
Chai Jiangcui curiously lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the bustling scene on the roadside.
Although she accepted the memory of the original owner, looking back at the memory was just like watching a movie. Now that she sees this ancient street scene in person, it still feels strange.
"Today happens to be a temple fair, so there are a lot of people. Please don't run around, little sister."
Chai Xingsheng warned carefully.
"Know it!"
Because the two of them came out secretly and only went to the city, they did not bring any guards. Besides Zi Huan, they were accompanied by Chai Xingsheng's two book boys, Li Chuan and Li Shan.
Chai Xingsheng was a little helpless at his little sister's perfunctory behavior, so he could only look at Zi Huan and ask her to look at his young lady.
…
At Chai Jiangcui's strong request, the coachman came to a teahouse owned by Chai's family. After parking the carriage, the five of them prepared to pass through the temple fair and walk towards the Musical Pavilion.
As Chai Jian's favorite daughter of the Chai family, Chai Jiangcui is naturally not short of money. Every time she passes a stall, she will stop and look at it.
"Candied fruit, buy some to try."
"Wuxiangtang's glutinous rice cakes, please have some."
"This fox mask is a bit delicate, let's get one..."
Before the temple fair was even halfway through, Lishan and Lichuan already had their hands full of things.
Chai Xingsheng felt a headache when he looked at the girl with gleaming eyes. He had never seen her so excited when he went out with Chai Jiangcui before. Could it be that he was a little exhausted after lying in bed for two days?
Just when Chai Xingsheng was still considering whether to tactfully remind his sister that it was important to do business, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind.
"Don't leave the evil thief. Just surrender and be captured!"
Chai Xingsheng turned his head and looked back in confusion, only to see two bearded men in short-fighting warrior uniforms running away from behind.
Behind the two men, a group of police officers with knives were chasing them, but there were too many people at the temple fair. Under the push and shove of the crowd, the police officers could not do anything to deal with these two big men for a while.
.
In just a few seconds, the bearded man was less than ten meters away from them.
Seeing the bright long knives in the hands of the two men, Chai Xingsheng subconsciously wanted to avoid them.
But at the moment when he tried to reach out to pull Chai Jiangcui, a hawker who was dodging with a load accidentally bumped into him. The sudden impact made it difficult for Chai Xingsheng to maintain his balance, and he fell to one side.
"Ouch!"
"Master, Master, are you okay?"
Li Chuan and Li Shan, who were following Chai Xingsheng, quickly dropped what they were holding and leaned over to help Chai Xingsheng.
Chai Xingsheng struggled to get up from the ground and shouted at the two Lis:
"Leave me alone, go and look at the eldest lady, go quickly."
Although Chai Xingsheng is a playboy, he is still relatively sober at the moment. He brought the little sister out, and if the little sister makes any mistakes, his father will definitely beat him to death.
After hearing the young master's instructions, Li Shan and Li Chuan did not dare to neglect, and quickly turned around and ran towards Chai Jiangcui.
However, the things they had just carried from the hawker fell to the ground as they collided with Chai Xingsheng. With the fruits on the ground and the crowd hiding, Li Chuan and Li Chuan could not find Chai Jiangcui for a while.
figure.
The sudden changes at the rear naturally attracted Chai Jiangcui's attention.
But the moment she turned around, an inexplicable throbbing feeling appeared in her heart.
"Miss, let's leave quickly."
Zi Huan on the side saw Chai Jiangcui dumbfounded and couldn't help but reach out and pull her sleeves.
But the next moment, Zi Huan was surprised to find that no matter how hard she pulled, Chai Jiangcui still stood motionless.
After just a few seconds of delay, the two big men with swords had already rushed in front of Chai Jiangcui.
"Go away, little bitch!"
One of them saw Chai Jiangcui standing dumbly in the middle of the road and slapped her arrogantly, trying to knock her away.
Looking at the two people approaching him, Chai Jiangcui suddenly woke up.
Feeling the oncoming palm wind, Chai Jiangcui narrowed his eyes and subconsciously mobilized the new spiritual energy threads in his body.
The next second, the spiritual energy dissipated, and Chai Jiangcui felt that his five senses instantly became extremely sharp, and the big man's movements towards him seemed to slow down a lot.
Without too much hesitation, Chai Jiangcui grabbed the big man's palm and relied on his medical knowledge from his previous life to easily remove his wrist joint and use his strength to throw him away.
Then another right whip hit the other person's waist violently.
"ah!"
After two shrill screams, the two men, who were originally fierce and fierce, lay directly on the ground, covering their painful areas and wailing continuously.
For a moment, everyone at the scene was stunned. They were all shocked by Chai Jiangcui's powerful force.
"What are you doing standing there, come here and escort these two people back!"
Chai Jiangcui was not used to being watched by so many people, so she could only speak to remind the stunned police officers in front of her.
"Oh, ok, ok, thank you Heroine for helping me."
Hearing this, several detectives woke up from their dreams. After hurriedly thanking Chai Jiangcui, they took out the rope from behind and escorted the two of them back.
While the police officers were busy, Chai Jiangcui quietly got back into the crowd and looked for Chai Xingsheng and the others again.
Chai Xingsheng also listened to the people next to him telling what happened. The look in his eyes when he looked at Chai Jiangcui was full of shock.
"Little sister, when did you become so powerful?"
"I secretly learned a few tricks from the guards at the side courtyard."
Facing his doubts, Chai Jiangcui directly blamed the guards of Chai Mansion.
"But I never see you practicing martial arts, right?"
"Can't we practice secretly while hiding in the room?"
"But I always feel that the guards in Chai Mansion are not that powerful, right?"
"I'm so talented, why can't I do it? Third brother, why do you have so many problems?"
"..."
This incident happened midway, and Chai Jiangcui no longer had the interest to continue shopping. She followed her third brother to the Music Pavilion, picked up a good guzheng, and headed towards the Zuixiang Tower in the east of the market.
Zuixianglou, one of the largest restaurants in Yingya City, was already overcrowded near noon.
Chai Jiang Cuiyi was sitting on the window seat on the second floor, looking at the scenery downstairs somewhat absentmindedly.
However, her mind at the moment was completely focused on the small wooden gourd in her sleeve.
This small gourd was snatched from the hands of the first big man when she had just fought against him. It was this thing that gave her an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
The small gourd is no more than the size of your thumb. It is matte gray in color and somewhat rough in workmanship. It feels cold to the touch and does not look like there is anything magical about it.
"What is this throbbing feeling all about?"
After pondering for a while, but still not getting any useful information, Chai Jiangcui murmured in a low voice, and finally decided to put it away first and study it carefully when he returned.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes. Chai Xingsheng poured her a cup of Maojian fragrant tea with some attentiveness.
"Little sister, come and try this Jiuxiang Roast Duck. This is the latest dish launched by Zuixiang Restaurant. Third Brother, I just ordered one after a lot of effort."
Hearing this, Chai Jiangcui glanced at the fragrant roast duck on the table and took a piece of it with some emotion.
Well, the aroma is rich, juicy and meaty, and it tastes really good.
Chai Jiangcui nodded with satisfaction, but the moment she lowered her head and prepared to spit out the bones, the hair on her whole body stood on end.
Just now, she glanced at the teacup with her peripheral vision. The light green tea surface reflected her appearance, and on her back, there was a little girl with a pale face lying on her back.
