Chapter 337 The Queen

"Fight them!" Before this sentence was spoken, Feng Banxian seemed to scold the two in a low voice, and then the three of them walked towards this side. Yang Ling hurriedly turned around, took out the style of a young master, slowed down step by step, let them walk in front, and then turned to Song Xiaoai.

Song Xiaoai understood and whispered: "Don't worry, sir, I have sent someone to follow me."

Only then did Yang Ling notice that the two men dressed as village men were already following Feng Banxian, and couldn't help but smile with praise.

Liu Dabangcui scratched his head and whispered strangely: "Dude, is there a prime minister in this dynasty?"

"Yes", Yang Ling said slowly: "There was in Taizu's dynasty, but it has disappeared since Prime Minister Hu Weiyong rebelled. The current prime minister is actually a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but his power is incomparable to the prime ministers who were less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the past."

Dabanchui said in surprise: "Then...what are they calling for the prime minister? Is that man called Cheng Xiang?"

Yang Ling was stunned. He didn't expect that: would he make a big fuss? The man's surname is Xiaomu and nicknamed Banxian. What if his name is "如时"... ah, a person who has no fame and has been to a private school can also find a few words for fortune telling and cheating people? But it's hard to say.

Yang Ling was a little shaken by his judgment and said, "Don't make a name for yourself, wait until our people touch their roots before talking. Let's continue to stroll around the lanterns, maybe we can meet them again."

At this time, more and more people were traveling to the suburbs. The colorful lights were hanging everywhere in Shengfang Town, and the wealthy families were competing for comparison, which was even more unique. Flowers and trees were planted in the square yard. However, the scattered viewing of the lights in each household affected the effect. There was a river outside Shengfang Town, which had dried up and became a wasteland in modern times, but at that time it was continuous and filled with lakes and abundant fish and shrimps.

The people set up colorful lanterns, ice lanterns and riddles by the reed marsh lake. They are famous for their long time. Many wealthy people from other places also come to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, making Shengfang Lanterns more and more prosperous. When they arrived in the suburbs, the sky was dark, but the lights were brightly lit here, and the wooden poles and tree trunks were hung with all kinds of colorful lanterns, silk surround the trees, and drums were heard. The music was melodious.

There are also ice lamps on the ground that are chiseled from the lake, which are exquisite and transparent, colorful, like crystal towers and crystal houses. Even people like Yang Ling who have seen modern super-glorious sound and light effects will feel refreshed when they see them, and they are even more dissatisfied with ordinary people who have not had much entertainment activities in these years.

At this time, the shore of the lake was like a lively temple fair, and wealthy businessmen and gentry also invested in the stages to build. Players, dragon lanterns, and strange tales were played, and it was very lively. The crowds were bustling, and the children were laughing and playing among the crowd. There were also many people wearing masks who were also playing in them.

The Lantern Festival is three days, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. Usually, fireworks are set off at the 16th, and the program ends. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the most lively time. The tall locust tree is full of lanterns of large and small. It turns into a gorgeous flower tree, looking up at the tree, passing through the dazzling lights, the bright moon like a jade plate hanging high in the air, just like the bright moon hanging on the top.

In the past three days, even the girls from wealthy families have lifted the ban. They can walk out of the boudoir to make an appointment with friends and visit the lantern market. In front of them is the most spectacular place of the entire lantern festival. More than 20 dragon claws are ashamed. The bare branches are full of lanterns, connected with several long colorful ropes, forming a huge wall of ground lamps, which is extremely spectacular.

The trees were full of small vendors, including food, fun, lanterns, masks, tourists were crowded, and the voices were noisy, and everyone was in high spirits. They only wanted to appreciate the beautiful shadows. No one cared about who was around them. Yang Ling saw a tall back, and compared the beautiful figure beside him, he immediately recognized that Zhao Crazy Man had seen at the intersection of the street.

It can be seen that he really loves his wife because he is afraid that many people will meet her. He put his thick arms around the wife's shoulders, pointed to the colorful lights with her, and walked while walking. Under the skirt, the delicate bow shoes were seen clearly under the bright lights of daytime.

No wonder her husband supported her so much. This pretty lady had a pair of small feet. Back then, there were not many women who really tied their feet. Many beauties were all tall, especially when the royal family chose concubines, they didn’t have small feet, so there were even fewer women in the northern high-ranking noble families, and Yang Ling’s wives and concubines did not have a small feet.

However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of foot binding gradually began to flow, so it was not surprising to see the handsome woman with small feet. This trend was really harmful to people. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the small feet were everywhere. When it was a war and man-made disaster, it could not run away at all, so it could only lie at home and wait for death.

Yang Ling was worried about the inexplicable Prime Minister Feng Banxian. When he saw this crazy man Zhao, he remembered that Feng Banxian and had a lot of jokes about Feng's surname when he met. Perhaps he could get some useful situations from his mouth, so he winked at Song Xiaoai and walked up to him.

"Haha, brother, we're meeting again," Yang Ling bowed his hand and said with a smile.

His demeanor is impeccable, which makes people feel aroused when they see it. The big man turned his head and saw it was him. He looked up and down, and smiled, bowed and said, "This guy doesn't seem to be a local?"

"However, Yang's surname is Wannian, who comes from the capital, has a study tour experience. I heard that the Bazhou Lanterns are famous all over the world, and I came to see it before," Yang Ling said calmly.

"Oh, my surname is Zhao and Shui. The three brothers in the family are the eldest, and they are students from Wen'an County. I'm very happy to know my brother." Zhao Feng's crazy talked roughly to Feng Banxian, like a rough man. At this time, he was quite gentle to Yang Ling. When Yang Ling saw that he was dressed, he knew that he was a wealthy scholar. Unexpectedly, he entered the county school and hurriedly bowed to him.

Students are scholars who have entered county schools. Scholars are more promising in this way, just like students who have entered key high schools, they have to pass the exam and get a good reputation.

"This is Zhuo Jing, haha, I am here to accompany Zhuo Jing to enjoy the lanterns today." Zhao Xiucai is a heroic person. Yang Ling intends to make friends with him, and he calls his brothers in a few words. At this time, when he heard Zhao Xiucai introduce his beloved wife to him, he really treated him as a friend. Yang Ling hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met my sister-in-law's wife."

The beautiful young woman smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yang, don't be too polite, please get up quickly."

Yang Ling's eyes flashed and saw a tea stall under the tree next to him. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhao and I fell in love with each other. Let's use tea instead of wine. Let's talk about it under the tree. My sister-in-law has been walking for a long time, so I'm afraid she will be tired."

When Zhao Sui heard this, he slapped his forehead and screamed strangely: "Oh, my brother reminded me, I've been walking for a long time, and it must be very hard. Come on, madam, let's sit at the tea stall for a while. You can rest." As he said that, he helped the lady and went.

His wife seemed to be very fond of her husband, so she helped her sit in front of the tea stall. Because it was night time, there was also a midnight snack, and it was cooked with various soups. Zhao Sui was very generous and ordered a bowl of various flavors. Not only did he ask for his wife, but he also ordered a bowl of Yang Ling and the two men and servants who were with him.

The maids of the household were not allowed to dine at the same table with their masters. Song Xiaoai and Dabangchui sat on the table next to them. Zhao Sui secretly looked at them, and chuckled at Yang Ling, "Brothers have good eyes. I have found a good maid. Not only is she beautiful, but her temperament is also extraordinary. Brothers must be a famous family in the capital, right?"

Yang Ling's face heated up and he said vaguely: "Well, my brother is not a famous family. His ancestors had been officials, but now they are just gentry in the capital. Haha, my brother has been too much, I have been too much."

At that time, a wealthy scholar who was studying abroad had not yet married and needed women's care when he went out, so he often chose a beautiful maid for him. He said he was a servant. In fact, he was a servant, and he served all the men and women. He was lucky in the future and took him as a concubine after he formally got married, otherwise he would still be a maid for his life. Anyway, he bought it from his own family and could be dealt with at will.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was also a kind of elegant thing that scholars and scholars liked to see, and there was nothing shameful about it. Therefore, Zhao Shu was not afraid of asking about it in front of his wife, because he saw that his little lover had a good character, which was a compliment.

Seeing that Yang Ling was actually shy, Zhao Shui felt it interesting and clapped his legs and laughed. At a moment, Tang Yuan brought it up. Mrs. Zhao's dining posture was also very elegant, but her husband had no such demeanor as a scholar. Yang Ling's first Tang Yuan had just finished eating. Zhao Crazy had already poured the soup down, wiped his mouth and watched them eat with a smile.

Yang Ling was not hungry at all, so he put down the bowl and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhao is so fast."

Zhao Caizi laughed and said, "A man, uh...you eat yours. I know that you are a big family in the capital pays great attention to eating. It's not happy, it's very unhappy. If you eat yours, don't worry about me. By the way, Duke Wei is now cracking down on a bunch of geniuses who pretend to be gods and cheat money. It's so satisfying. Haha, that's your family. You have heard of this."

Yang Ling took the opportunity to say, "Yes, I heard about this when I arrived in Bazhou. However, I was a study tour and came out after returning to Beijing for the New Year. I didn't stay in Bazhou City. I thought I would continue to go south after watching the lanterns. I didn't know much about the specific situation. Why are there many charlatans here in Bazhou? I just heard my brother roaring a lion and shouting "Feng Banxian". The pedestrian's face changed color. Is it so strict that Bazhou cleared out charlatans and liars under Duke Weiguo?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard Yang Ling say that her husband was a lion roar, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. Zhao Shui smiled and said, "Those who are close to the ink are black. For brothers, this lion roar is very good. Brothers can't learn it." Mrs. Zhao's face turned red and she secretly pinched her husband under the table. Zhao Shui's skin was strong and his flesh was thick, so he didn't care.

He took a sip of tea ceremony: "That's natural. Duke Wei is fighting in the north and north. He is a hero in the battle formation. He is also a powerful means to punish traitors and handle cases. The sages in Bazhou are rampant and are in chaos. If you really want to fix them, a large number of blind followers will cause trouble. Duke Wei skillfully uses clever plans to govern the gods with gods, which is better than Ximen Bao in the Warring States Period. Now, no sage in Bazhou dares to cheat again."

He explained in detail how Yang Ling cleverly planned to curb the Four Saint Monks. Yang Ling pretended to be the first time he heard it, and kept stroking his palms and saying it was wonderful. Seeing Song Xiaoai at the next table, Dabangmai snickered. After Zhao Sui said, "As for Feng Banxian, it was just a stick, not a stick. However, he also liked to promote these things and had made a marriage with these false words, so Brother Yu intended to joke when he saw him."

"Oh? I'll make a marriage in the name of gods and Buddhas? Where does this start?" Yang Ling pretended to be very interested and said authentically.

Zhao Sui answered questions and said, "I don't know much about this, but I just heard from my friends. There is a lawsuit in Bazhou City named Wang Zhi who specializes in writing paper for others and suing others. He relies on a good pen and a clever mouth. He has a very friendly relationship with the government, so he made a lot of money and is considered a wealthy family."

When Zhao Fengzi said this, Yang Ling suddenly remembered that the black harness Miao had just been arrested and imprisoned. Isn’t the stick that his blind mother attached to was Wang Zhi? This man thought he had a very good relationship with the people in the yamen, but the price was too dark. The black harness, along with the house and the land, and the wealth in the family, had 200 taels of silver. He extorted the money from the transportation government, and in this business alone, he bought at least 100 taels of silver with bare hands. He was the largest lawyer in Bazhou as a lawsuit stick.

Zhao Caizi continued: "Wang Zhi has a daughter named Wang Mantang. It is said to be the number one beauty in Bazhou City. Haha, in fact, these words are all rumors about some disciples on the streets and alleys. Your sister-in-law is from Bazhou City. When it comes to beauty, I believe that she is definitely above Wang Mantang. But educated girls are not usually out of the boudoir, who knows their appearance?

Wang Mantang is an anomaly. Wang Zhi's family is rich, with a house, a land and a servant. However, this daughter has allowed her to travel around the streets and alleys since she was a child, so she naturally knows more people. In addition, her pretty face has turned out to be a famous flower in Bazhou.

When the girl was seventeen years old, she had not yet found her husband's family, and Wang Zhi was not in a hurry. But one day the girl had a dream, saying that she dreamed of a golden armored god telling her that she would marry a great nobleman, whose name was Zhao Wanxing. The girl told her the dream to her mother.

Feng Xiaomu is a lawsuit litigant and has always been acquainted with Wang Zhi. After learning about this from him, he calculated for a while, and then told Wang Zhi firmly that this dream was indeed a dream that a god-like man would send. Soon the noble man named Zhao Wanxing would pass by here, and told him that the old couple should not miss it.

Wang Zhi was half-believing and half-doubted. Unexpectedly, two days later, a guest passed by and came to ask for water to drink. After a conversation, the man was called Zhao Wanxing. Wang Zhi was shocked. Seeing that the man was kind and well-mannered, he pretended to make friends and asked him to live in the mansion. Once he was inquired, Zhao Wanxing was a scholar who was studying abroad, and his parents died and wandered around.

After living for a few days, Wang Zhi found that the man not only had an extraordinary appearance, but also had good words and decent behavior, and he did a good job. He was even more surprised that the roof of the client he lived in was covered with birds every day. Wang Zhi thought that he would definitely be in high school in the future, so he took the initiative to marry and betrothed his beloved daughter to him. This incident spread, and a friend of mine mentioned it to me, and I asked Feng Xiaomu to help me fight a lawsuit, haha, so I teased him when I saw him."

"Oh? There is such a strange thing? Haha, where is the noble lady that Miss Wang married now? Has she ever become a success?" Yang Ling asked calmly.

Zhao Sui grinned and said, "Since Miss Wang promised someone, she moved out of the Wang family with her husband. No one knows where she lives. It's just that her life seems to be good. But when it comes to the noble destiny, hehe, brother, do you really believe it?"

Zhao Sui's eyes showed a cunning look and said with a smile: "If one day you fall in love with a lady, please let the girl act like this. When you go home, you say that there is an immortal in your dream to have a marriage, and then you will find a charlatan for your brother, but tell your father-in-law that this noble man will appear within ten days, and then you will visit him. As for birds falling into the house, it's easy to do. Just sprinkle some grain on the roof when the person is unprepared. Haha, if the father-in-law is confused for a while, the marriage will be done."

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth and giggled. Song Xiaoai and Dabangchui were already intoxicated on the table next to her, but she realized that there was such a marriage of heaven in the world. When Zhao Shu said something about the secret of heaven, she couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

Yang Ling also thought about the general reason. When he heard Zhao Sui explain clearly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, are these all your speculations?"

Zhao Sui smiled and said arrogantly: "Yes, although it's for my brother, I'm almost always together. The girl Wang Mantang has been in and out of the streets since she was a child and dealing with men, I'm afraid she'd had an affair with someone named Zhao Wanxing, so she made this plan to deceive her parents. But for my brother, it's strange that if Zhao Wanxing's family is rich and Wang Zhi is profitable, she will definitely allow marriage. Why use this method?

If Zhao Wanxing is poor, I heard that Wang Mantang married someone. Every time he went back to his parents' home or appeared in the street market in Bazhou, he was covered in beautiful bodies and wearing gold and jade. Obviously, he was in a good situation, but where did she marry? No one could tell me clearly. Could it be that her husband actually had a wife? Did she marry someone and become a concubine?"

Mrs. Zhao spat lowly and said angrily: "My husband, let's make random guesses behind the rest, and we are tainted by the reputation. We don't know the details, so we should not lie."

Zhao Shui was very afraid of his wife, so he smiled dryly and said, "Hey, am I talking to my brothers? I will not mention it randomly with irrelevant people."

Yang Ling wanted to learn about the situation of Feng Banxian from him, but unexpectedly, he heard such an irrelevant thing. Feng Xiaomu was just an ordinary prime minister. Did he really hear that wrong? His word "正官方" or other homonyms?

Yang Ling's heart was shaken, and at this moment, a tall girl was walking down the lamp rope to another tree, followed by a little maid next to her. Just looking at her back, the girl was itchy. The fox fur in the vest showed the graceful curves of a woman. The long peacock blue lattice skirt moved lightly, and her waist was swaying rhythmically.

Seeing the beautiful woman walking slowly, the swaying rhythm was a great pleasure to enjoy. At this time, a disciple suddenly rushed to chase after her. When he approached the girl's body, he suddenly reached out and pinched her plump buttocks, and then turned his body and was about to pierce into the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the big girl suddenly turned around, her skills were agile and flexible. She was not like the girl in the boudoir who was usually frightened and helpless when she was not out of the door. She reached out and copied it, stretched the collar of the penis lichen, slapped him in the face with a "slap" and scolded him, "How about taking advantage of your aunt? Is it comfortable to touch through the cotton skirt?"

"Drink!" Yang Ling secretly praised, this girl is so fierce. She is so arrogant. She is just as catching up with some modern and straightforward girls. Perverts are most afraid of it. Maybe it is such a girl. Sure enough, the criminal was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Once the woman he usually sees suffers such a secret loss, he dare not speak out at all. He is afraid of losing face, so he can only leave quietly. You must know that even if he is molested, once he is promoted, the woman will be the one who has a bad reputation. Why is this girl so arrogant?

At this time, the girl had turned her face and looked at the beauty under the lamp, which increased the color. What's more, there are lights and moons now, and the colorful eyes are fascinating. The girl's appearance and figure are surprisingly beautiful, and her pretty face makes people move at first sight.

The girl was molested by someone and immediately slapped the pervert hard. She should have been very angry, but at this time, she looked at her face without any anger. Instead, she seemed to have met an old face, and she smiled so charmingly, her pink face that was so charming and shattered, and a bright and charming smile appeared.

Her eyes were typical peach blossom eyes, watery, and her lips were plump and charming, and sweet. When it comes to her facial features, her figure was not very beautiful, and it was a few less than the wife of the Zhao family. But the difference was that she was filled with a wild beauty, a sexy woman who wanted to conquer her when she saw her.

If the Zhao family’s wife is as beautiful as a lake of spring water, then she is a burning flame, with a completely different style of brightness. Could this decent dress be the pink head of the field in the church? How could a serious girl dare to grab the pervert when she was touched by someone’s butt?

"You are so brave!" said the eldest girl with a smile: "You dare to tease good women in the street."

The slap of the divine was awakened, and the shock and anger that was slapped by someone disappeared because of the girl's special beauty and charming smile: "This is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. I accidentally rubbed you, but you slapped me. What else do you do? Haha, girl, are you a good woman? Stop making trouble, which girl is the girl in the yard? I will definitely take care of your business, and you are so troubled that you are dying of ecstasy."

Because of the girl's boldness and charming charm, she was not like a serious girl. This man mistakenly thought she was a brothel prostitute, and immediately felt relieved. He was not worried about the people who were watching the fun. Instead, he openly got in love with her.

Seeing that it was not a big deal, Yang Ling couldn't help but smile. He suddenly remembered the great dream he had said when he was deliberately angry with the judge Cui in the underworld: when he was fine, he led a few dog slaves and teased the good women.

Now that I saw this scene, after knowing that I would not die suddenly, on this dreamy night when the flowers in the market are as beautiful as day, and when my wife and concubines are now loving each other, I suddenly remembered this incident, and it seemed like a dream in my previous life. Yang Ling couldn't help but smile. The Buddha picked up flowers and Kashyapa smiled, probably because he knew this leisurely and thoughtful. The wonderful things are hard to say.

"Bastard!" Yang Ling was thinking about it, and the little maid next to the woman got angry. She stared at the almond eyes and said angrily: "You have a bear heart and a leopard courage? You dare to beat my mother... My wife's idea is so rude, Chen Feng, Shan Xiong, teach him a lesson!"

It turned out that the woman brought more than one maid, and three people came out of the crowd, as if she had just caught up. When she heard the little maid say this, she rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, although the disciple was a prodigal son who was teasing and taking advantage of the robber, she was not a poor boy who was not a penniless boy. Not only did she bring the servants, but she also came to the market for a trip with a group of friends. At this time, she also surrounded her. When she saw that her friends were going to suffer, she immediately came up to Liuli and smiled happily, "What's wrong? I want to fight. OK, let's accompany you. How many of you have, call out all of you?"

When the Dengtuzi saw his friend appear, he became more courageous. Seeing that there were only three men and two women on the other side, he smiled evilly and pushed a man rushing up in the chest and said loudly: "What, there is no more king's law? I am a local student in this county and a scholar who has read the books of sages. How dare I slander my reputation?"

The two men rushing in front were quite solid, but they looked very honest. They had never fought at all. They blushed and looked at the tall beauty, but they didn't dare to fight back. When Zhao Sui saw that the group of disciples were still bullying others, he couldn't help but slam the table and said angrily: "The world is going down, it's really a disgrace to be gentle!"

With the robe tucked into the belt, it seemed that he was about to rush out. Mrs. Zhao knew that her husband was extremely powerful. She was afraid that he would hurt someone recklessly. She was about to get up to stop him, but Yang Ling had already stopped him and said, "Brother Zhao, wait. Look for a moment, both sides may not be able to fight."

When Zhao Shu heard this, he sat down with anger. It turned out that two of the three people who were called out by the little maid rushed forward, and the other only stood two more steps than the people watching the fun. It was not obvious. If he suddenly saw it, he would think that he was watching the fun. Yang Ling's eyes were sharp-eyed and saw that the third person was Feng Banxian, so he hurriedly stopped Zhao Fengzi, wanting to see if this person was suspicious.

The tall and beautiful man laughed in anger and said, "You pervert take advantage of me, but you falsely accused me of insulting your reputation? Just beat me up with shameless things!"

There were seven or eight people on the opposite side, either scholars or servants. The scholars were all bean sprouted. There was no one like Zhao Sui, who was selected from thousands of miles away. The two strong men around the girl were extremely strong men. They would never suffer any losses if they really wanted to fight. However, these two men were blushing with honest faces, at a loss. At first glance, they were honest children who had never fought since childhood.

The group of scholars were timid when they saw this scene and came up arrogantly. The tall beauty said twice, "Tell me a lesson." The two strong men barely raised their hands to resist, but they only dared to push and not hit people. They were beaten back step by step by step by step by step by several scholars.

Zhao Sui was as ignorant as a fire, and when he saw this, he was about to jump up to help the battle, the little maid cursed angrily: "A pair of wastes! Such a guy still dreams of being the commander of the imperial guards one day?"

A mindless sentence, Yang Ling, Song Xiaoai, and Liu Dabangcui almost jumped up after hearing this. Such a mindless sentence, in the ears of these people, although they felt strange, they could not produce anything too bizarre and bold to enrich their imagination.

There is no official position like the commander of the imperial guards in the world. It is entirely the emperor who made up his official position out of thin air in order to arrange a proper position for Yang Ling, who is not from the right path, in order to be by his side, he has made up his official position out of thin air. However, this official position is now known to everyone in the world.

So after hearing the little maid's inexplicable words, everyone thought that this pair of loyal slaves might have the ambition to join the army, make achievements in the future, and be able to become officials who have been Duke Wei. Now they are so incompetent, so the little maid speaks sarcastic.

But for Yang Ling and the other two, they felt different. When they were in the town, they heard a word from the prime minister, and now they jumped out of the commander of the imperial guards. The two strange words were connected together, and the idiot also knew that there must be something wrong.
To be continued...
