"I just said that Brother Chongwen is broad-minded."

"Yes, now I am a scholar, and I may get a high-ranking official and a generous salary in the spring exam next year."

"I hope Brother Chongwen will support you at that time."

While chattering, the five people hurriedly walked in the streets and alleys. Wang Chongwen suddenly stopped, looked around, and turned his face to the side.

"Did you hear the woman crying?"

The four scholars following the side stopped, look at me, and look at you.

"Did you hear it?" "Brother Chongwen is definitely not wrong."

"Well, maybe there are indeed women crying."

The scholar carrying the lantern took a few steps forward, raised his arm and looked forward. The paper lantern lights shone everywhere, and the ghosts on both sides of the streets could not be seen.

"No one... did you hear it wrong?"

Woo ~

Wow~~~

The scholar who was originally talking was stunned for a moment, and Wang Chongwen and the other three were also stunned, and there was really a woman crying.

Following the intermittent crying, Wang Chongwen frowned and pointed to an alley not far away.

"It seems to be coming from there."

Even after lifting the robe and jogging over quickly, the four scholars had to follow and shout in a low voice.

"Brother Chongwen, run slowly, be careful of falling."

The entrance of the alley was dim and it was difficult to see things. Wang Chongwen saw the four scholars behind him coming, took the lanterns and took photos inside.

"Girl, are you in there?"

The dim light shaking. When pushing away the darkness, the five people vaguely saw a figure inside leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground bent their knees.

Woo ~~

"Girl?" Wang Chongwen asked again.

"Brother Chongwen."

The four scholars behind swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the beautiful figure in the alley, remembered what happened in the woods one night, and couldn't help but tremble, and woke up drunk.

He gritted his teeth and carefully called Wang Sheng in front of him.

"Brother Chongwen, I think I'd better leave."

"Yes, yes, a woman suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. I don't think it's a good thing."

"Yes, what the two brothers mentioned above are, Brother Chongwen, there is no reason why a woman cries in the middle of the night. Even if there is, it's not our turn to meet them. If you don't say anything about those weird ambitions, what are you talking about? Wait, I'll bring the book and take it out immediately..."

Ignoring the whispering of the four people, Wang Chongwen waved his hand and pulled the cuff from one of his hands, raised the lantern, and looked stern.

"Where do people who read books advocate sages, so there are so many strange things? If you are really a weak woman who needs help in urgent need, wouldn't you miss it? Read the sages in vain!!"

After saying that, he walked into the dark alley with a lantern. The four scholars didn't know what to do for a moment, and stood at the entrance of the alley and shouted in a low voice:

"Brother Chongwen, then just go, we will show you behind you!"

In the alley, the lights shaking, driving away the darkness, and the sob woman's crying became clearer. Wang Chongwen stuck out the lantern and looked carefully. A woman hugged there in her arms, wearing a package, plain white clothes, and a numb cover on her head and back.

The woman felt the lights shining, and raised her face timidly from behind the package. When she saw Wang Chongwen, she couldn't stop shaking, and quickly buried her back on the bag, shaking her head constantly.

"Don't take me back, don't take me back..."

"Miss, I'm a villain, don't panic."

The lantern was placed next to the woman, and Wang Chongwen bowed and squatted down.

"I am a native scholar. Don't be afraid. Are there any difficulties to tell me?"

As he approached, Wang Chongwen was stunned for a moment and saw clearly that the woman's plain clothes and numb coverings were a little different.

Wearing mourning, is it just that someone died in the family?

At this time, the woman slowly raised her face and reflected into the dim lights, with red lips and willow skin, and her skin was as white as jade. She was so charming with this filial piety dress.

"good……"

Realizing that he said the wrong thing, Wang Chongwen quickly changed his words.

"I don't mean that..."

puff.

The woman opposite saw his panic, burst into tears and chuckled, then pursed her lips, and drooped her face slightly sadly.

"I am not a local person, so I was sold to a private servant in the neighboring county as a concubine. The eldest son was jealous and often beat and scolded. A few days ago, when the private servant died, I was worried that my life would be lost, so I sneaked out overnight..."

well……

Wang Chongwen sighed and asked again: "Then do you have relatives in your family?"

Tears overflowed the corners of his eyes, the woman raised her face and choked with sobs:

"It turned out to be there, but now I'm afraid there is no more. When I think of having nowhere to go, I cry here, which disturbs the mood of the men. I'm really sorry, I'll leave now."

The woman held the bag, held the wall and slowly got up, turned around, lowered her head and headed towards the other side of the alley.

"Aunt..."

Wang Chongwen just shouted, and four scholars behind him rushed in and pulled him.

"Brother Chongwen, that girl is leaving, there must be another place to go, so let's not worry about it."

"Yes, if my sister-in-law knows, that's all."

Wang Chongwen looked at the staggering woman in front of him and hesitated for a moment.

"Oh, that's all."

Over there, the slim figure who was holding the wall paused.

“…”

Suddenly, with a "ouch", my feet fell to the ground unsteadily, rubbed my ankles, and tears fell down.

"girl!"

Wang Chongwen, who had originally made up his mind, walked over quickly and saw her pear blossoms in the rain, and her heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked.

"...It's better to settle in my house for the time being. It's too dangerous for a woman to be alone."

"That's all."

The woman raised her hand and took it over, and was supported. Suddenly, she screamed "Oh." and she leaned against Wang Chongwen, her red lips slightly opened and blew gently into the man's ear.

"This gentleman takes me home, won't he mind with his sister-in-law?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed across the corners of his eyes. He looked at the four scholars and glared fiercely.

The four of them trembled.

In the alley, Wang Chongwen came over with the woman.

"I won't mind, and I have a study room available, so my wife rarely comes here."

When walking out of the alley, I did not forget to urge the four scholars to have a solemn expression.

"Come on, follow me home, and you will still learn tomorrow."

The four of them looked at each other.

"Go?" "Go, what if it's not a monster."

"We have no money on us..."

The scholar who spoke first picked up the lantern on the ground and followed quickly. The remaining three had to bite the bullet and follow.

…………

Wang Chongwen's house was not big, and his study was placed in the side wing. Because he had obtained fame and fortune, few maids and servants came to disturb him.

Now that four more scholars have been placed, Mrs. Wang feels more at ease and doesn’t have to worry about hiding the beauty in the golden house.

Squeak...

The rear door of the side compartment sounded lightly, and Wang Chongwen looked inside with a bag, then hooked his hand back and let the woman following behind come in.

"The room in front is in the study room, and there is a bed inside. Don't dislike it, girls."

The four scholars followed behind tremblingly and entered the study room. Wang Chongwen blew the fire note and lit the candle.

"Miss, it's a little messy here, I'll clean up."

After saying that, he went over to make the bed, and the four scholars looked at the woman standing in the shadow of the lights. He was neither leaving nor staying.

In the end, I couldn't help but speak.

"That Brother Chongwen... It's getting late, so I'll wait for the four of you to go back to the house and go to bed first."
