Chapter 38: Seeing Ye Nu for the first time

"It's all your fault!" The maid stomped her feet in anger and complained to the man, "What are you so fierce? People are willing to give in. What should I do now? Explain to the lady."

The man couldn't hold his face and stepped forward and pointed at Li Weizheng and scolded: "Don't you know the truth?"

Li Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he sat back on the chair and just lowered his head to drink tea.

"Okay! Wait." The man turned around and left angrily. Just as Li Wei knew that he had been looking for help, he stepped forward and smiled at the little maid, "I'm sorry, I have a bad temper. I'm not a tough guy. You go back first! Tell your lady, let this person apologize, and I'll let him."

The maid sighed and said, "This person is a family member of the Chu Prince's Mansion. She escorted my lady across the river. The lady couldn't control him. They had two people. You would suffer a loss if you fight. Why don't I go and tell the lady."

Li Wei was suddenly aware that he was a family member of the Chu Prince's Mansion. No wonder he was so powerful. His leg was injured and he could not fight with anyone at all. However, he had to give in under his fist, but he could not imagine it. Then he said to the maid: "I will deal with it myself, you go!"

The maid looked at him with a sad look, turned around and ran away. Li Wei was the Jinyiwei Baihu. Of course, he would not be afraid of these gangsters, but he did not want to reveal his identity easily. He looked at both sides and saw the crew member coming here just now, so he waved to him.

"Young Master, please give me some advice if you have anything to do." The crew received the tip of his usual money and was very respectful to him.

Li Wei was taking out five hundred stakes of money and said to him: "A little thief came to steal my things just now, but I discovered it. I was worried that he would gather his accomplices to take revenge. You go and find more than a dozen brothers for me. If you can protect my safety, the five hundred stakes of money will belong to you."

The crew members' eyes widened, five hundred stags of money, how many years would it take him to earn, and his voice trembled, "Don't worry, young master! Pack... on me."

He turned around and ran towards the stern. Li Weizheng returned to the cabin and held the Jinyiwei waist card in his hand. If the people in the Chu King's Mansion arrived first, or the crew members were afraid of the power of the Chu King, they could only use it.

After a moment, there were running sounds at both ends of the cabin. There were only two people on the Chu Palace, but there were more than a dozen on the crew. "Zhi Ma, thief, dare to act wildly on my boat, beat me!"

The crew members were eager to get money, fearing that the two of them would run away when they saw the weak, so they beat them without saying anything. Outside the cabin, there was a burst of scolding and shouting. In the chaos, only one person shouted: "We are the guardian of the King of Chu's Mansion. Don't you want to mess around?"

The outside of the cabin suddenly became quiet, and only the crew members complained faintly. Suddenly, a mess of footsteps were heard. The crew members actually ran away in a hurry. Although they wanted money, their lives were more important. They offended the people of the Chu Prince's Mansion. They really couldn't get around here.

With a 'bang!', the cabin door was kicked open, and two men with bruised noses and swollen faces walked in. They stared at Li Weizheng viciously, "I'm so kind! I actually asked the crew to stand up. It seems that you are quite rich, okay! Take a thousand guan of money, let's forget about this, otherwise I will throw you down the river today."

Li Wei was sneering. He was about to shake out the Jinyiwei waist card, but someone at the door scolded him, "Rareless!"

I saw a sedan chair parked outside the cabin door, and a young woman's voice came from the sedan chair. Although she was angry, the voice was very pleasant. "I don't want you Han Qianhu's escort to you, just hate you, those who oppress good people, why don't you retreat to me quickly."

"Miss is unwilling to take the boat in our palace. Han Qianhu is still angry. Miss should apologize first and then take care of us! We dare not fall into the title of the King of Chu Palace. Please come back!"

The two obviously didn't buy the lady's account. The inside and outside of the cabin suddenly became quiet. The woman in the sedan sighed softly and said softly: "Young Master, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Li Weijing bowed to the sedan chair with gratitude, "Thank you, Miss, for coming forward. When I finish this matter, I will give it to you."

‘Ah!’ A low scream suddenly came out of the sedan chair, but Li Weizheng didn’t care. He turned sideways and shook the Jinyiwei waist card from an angle that is difficult for people outside the cabin to see, and whispered: “Get out!”

The two families of the Chu Prince's Mansion changed their faces suddenly, and their eyes showed a look of horror. They took two steps back, turned around and ran away in panic. Li Wei was sighing secretly, but finally showed his appearance.

Seeing the two of them running away, Li Wei was picking up the salute and smiling at the lady in the sedan chair and maid, "I'll give this cabin to you."

The passage outside the cabin was narrow, and the sedan chair occupied most of the sedan chair. Li Wei was walking across the sedan chair sideways. From the translucent gauze curtain, you could vaguely see the lady sitting inside. What surprised Li Wei was that she was actually lowering her head. The little maid next to him nodded to him with a smile and secretly raised her thumbs up. Seeing her interesting, Li Wei couldn't help but laugh and left.

























"It's docking!" The ship shouted, and the boat slowly leaned towards the dock. The hull shook violently and stopped. As the boat board was put on the shore, the passengers on the boat rushed off the boat one after another. Li Wei was picking up his luggage and getting off the boat with the public. The injury on his leg was no longer a big problem. He simply stopped using a crutch and limped behind the crowd. At this time, the crew member stepped forward and said ashamed: "I'm sorry, young master, we really don't dare to mess with the people in the King of Chu's mansion, so I don't want the money."

"It's okay, I feel relieved when I beat them up to the point of bruising and swollen."

Li Weizheng patted his shoulder and stuffed the two hundred stagnants of money to him and said with a smile: "Take it and share it with brothers! Make friends with everyone."

"Thank you!" The crew received the money thankfully and took the luggage for him, "Then I'll take the young master off the boat."

When he walked to the board, Li Wei was suddenly remembering something. When he turned around, he saw that the sedan chair was still parked at the cabin door, as if he was about to get off the boat at the end. When the little maid next to him saw him turning back, he smiled and waved the handkerchief in his hand, "Take a good care!"

"Take care too!" Li Weizheng waved his hand and got off the boat with the flow of people.

There were many carriages to be hired on the shore. He hired a carriage and went straight to the prefect's office.

Hanyang Prefecture is located in the north of the city. It is a typical structure of front and back residence. The Ye family lives in the back house of the government office. It is now dusk, and the yamen is closed. It seems that the official business has been completed. Li Wei is going around the side door. The side door is mainly for the family of Ye, just like the main entrance of an ordinary family. There are steps and driveways. There are two huge stone lions squatting beside them. On the steps are two families guarding the door. Li Wei is approaching and bowing, "Please tell the magistrate Ye that I am a relative from my hometown in Linhuai County. My name is Li Weizheng, so I come here to ask for a meeting."

When his family heard that his accent was the same as the master, they did not dare to neglect it and quickly said, "Please wait for me, please."

He ran in, and for a moment, he ran back and smiled and said, "Master, please come with me."

Although the Ye Mansion is half of the official office, it still looks very grand and wide. Moreover, the Ye Mansion's servants are obviously much more than the Li family, and they also have to bear the cost of some teachers to clear the guests. The monthly expenses are very huge. However, this money was not obtained by the prefect Ye as an official. The officials of the Ming Dynasty were known for their low salary. For example, his monthly salary was twenty-four stones. It was impossible to support such a family. The main reason was that his family was well-off and had money and food to subsidize. It was precisely because of this that the prefect Ye Mansion always maintained a reputation for integrity. He was investigated several times by the Jinyiwei and was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was promoted from the county magistrate to the fourth-rank magistrate in just ten years. Most of his Jinshi had already fallen to the ground and his soul had returned to the underworld.

Although Li Wei resolutely broke off the engagement by using the emotional foundation for marriage, in fact, a large part of the reason is the image of the demonized Miss Ye family. He once secretly asked more than one servant what Miss Ye looks like, and the answers he got were all the same: "The left and right are just yellow-haired girls."

It was this sentence that made him take it for granted to describe the image of Miss Ye in his mind: a face covered with sparrow spots, a flat nose, and a mouth that could not be closed, causing his teeth to be exposed and his hair to be sparse and yellow.

Besides, he had another Guo Qianqian. Guo Qianqian was the one he would have to get into the room sooner or later, but he was still young and thin, so he had to wait a few more years. Although the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit marrying more, it would be absolutely impossible to marry a woman he didn't like to join him.

As soon as he walked to the door of the study of the prefect Ye, a young woman suddenly walked out quickly and almost collided with him. Li Wei was so scared that she flashed to the side, but she stepped heavily on the woman's shoes.

‘Ouch!’ The woman squatted down in pain, and was about to fall and sit on the ground. “Ah! I’m sorry.” Li Wei was holding her, but the woman was shivering and anxious, and shook her hands hard and said, “You guy, let go!”

Only then did Li Weizheng realize that the woman's soft and warm bending was actually the woman's bending, which was so shocked that he quickly let go. The woman suddenly lost her center of gravity and sat on the ground.

"Miss, get up quickly!" An old woman next to her quickly helped the woman up and glared at Li Weizheng.

‘Miss?’ Li Wei was confused in his mind. Is this woman his fiancée, Miss Ye?

At this time, the lady of the Ye family had already stood up, but Li Weizheng was shocked and thought to himself: Why is she so tall?

Although Miss Ye and his ex have been married since childhood and have seen each other many times, this is the first time Li Weizheng has seen her. The first impression she gives is that she is tall, almost as tall as him. According to the standards of later generations, she should be between 1.75 and 1.8 meters tall. This height is nothing in later generations, but in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, this height is considered an alien among women.

However, although she is tall, her figure is rarely well-proportioned, slim and plump. Her cheeks are contoured, her eyes are slender, her nose is tall, and her mouth is a little big. However, her skin is extremely white and greasy, and she is full of a healthy luster, with a strong spirit, and a modern womanish taste. Her figure and temperament are extremely precious in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, a woman as tall as her was not popular, but it is somewhat in line with Li Yuanwai's standards for choosing a daughter-in-law.

"You are..." Miss Ye suddenly recognized him and shouted in surprise: "You are Li Dalang!"

'You should call me Li Lang,' Li Weizheng thought to himself, his heart was full of surprise. Didn't he say it was a yellow-haired girl? Why is it completely different? Is it a girl who changes her age? This figure, hey! It's really good. At this moment, a heavy cough suddenly came from the room. Miss Ye was so scared that she quickly moved away, "Go quickly! My father is waiting for you inside."

Li Wei was slowly walking into the room. When the door was closed, he couldn't help but look back and glance at him secretly, 'Uh.





She is still a sage."
