Chapter 124: Fighting Beasts at the Ferry
Fu Xuanheng took a sip of soup and immediately started coughing accidentally.
Shen Yunyue stood up and walked over to him, gently patting his back. "I told you to drink the soup in small sips, but you insisted on drinking it in big gulps. You didn't listen to me. Now you know how spicy it is, right?
This isn't made from dogwood, but it tastes much stronger than dogwood."
Shen Yunyue was still muttering about Fu Xuanheng.
Fu Xuanheng glared at her several times, finally suppressing the sharp anger. Tears welled up in his eyes, "Instead of trying to comfort me, you're going to be mean to me?"
"I know you dislike my dishonorable behavior."
Shen Yunyue: ...What's wrong with this person?
What does this have to do with doing things decently?
The people at the next table were trying to suppress their laughter as they watched the young couple bickering.
"How could I be mean to you?" Shen Yunyue thought about it and felt that her tone was not very good, so she had to pinch her nose and defend herself awkwardly.
Fu Xuanheng gave all his softest and most vulnerable sides to Shen Yunyue.
"You have. You are much more cruel to me than to Yun Zheng."
Shen Yunyue: .... She wanted to throw the bowl in her hand directly over his head.
After looking at the wontons in the bowl, I couldn’t bear to waste them.
"Yun Zheng is a child. You are different."
Fu Xuanheng kept asking her, "What's different about me?"
"He is my younger brother, and you are my husband. I have many younger brothers, but only one husband." Shen Yunyue answered casually while concentrating on eating wontons.
This sentence made Fu Xuanheng smile instantly.
"You remember that I'm unique." He took another sip of the soup, this time getting used to the spiciness.
Shen Yunyue didn't expect that Fu Xuanheng could be so childish.
She raised her head and looked at Fu Xuanheng with a suppressed smile, reaching out and pinching his ear. "Why are you so childish?"
"Wontons with chili sauce are really delicious." Fu Xuanheng lowered his eyes to hide the smile that flickered in his eyes. He finished the remaining soup and wontons in three or five mouthfuls.
Shen Yunyue collected her thoughts and quickly finished eating.
I put the chili sauce in my bag and waited for a while.
The wontons are ready.
Ah Si happened to be walking over here, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Miss Yue, I was just looking for you. There was a beast fight going on south of the pier, and I came to see if you wanted to go and watch the fun."
"Beast fighting?"
Shen Yunyue hasn't seen it.
However, the customer eating wontons nearby knew what beast fighting was and explained it slowly:
"Beast fighting is putting slaves in cages with wild dogs that have been hungry for several days. Let's see who can survive in the end."
As the man spoke, he quickly drank the soup in the bowl and wiped his mouth with his hand.
"I have to go check it out and bet on the outcome. Maybe I can even make back the money I spent on drinks today."
"You mean a fight between humans and wild dogs? Not a fight between beasts?" Shen Yunyue looked at the man in surprise. She couldn't understand some things about the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The man looked at Shen Yunyue strangely and frowned unhappily.
"What's the big deal? They are slaves, aren't they the same as little animals?" The man put down six copper coins, walked to Shen Yunyue and the others and glanced at them sideways.
"Well, let me tell you two. Slaves are worse than wild dogs."
After saying that, he spat and left in a swagger.
Shen Yunyue didn't say anything else, but her mood darkened. It turned out that the caged humans and wild dogs fighting each other was just satisfying their psychological needs.
They use it to gamble and make money.
Human life is like an ant.
She knew it from the first day of exile, but being here still shocked Shen Yunyue.
Fu Xuanheng saw that she was feeling down, so he reached out and gently stroked her hand. "Yunyue, this is reality. We can't change it for now. If you don't like it, we'll work hard to change it in the future..."
He had hatred in his heart for his grandmother and his parents.
He also had a lot of things in his mind because of the talented Prime Minister Shen.
Now, there is one more thing.
He was willing to change things for Shen Yunyue if she didn't like them.
"Um."
Shen Yunyue lowered her head like a depressed rooster.
After a while, he raised his head.
"Uncle Si, take the steamed buns and wontons back for everyone to eat. Grandmother doesn't have a good appetite, so you can soak the steamed buns in wonton soup." Shen Yunyue instructed Uncle Si in every detail.
"Miss Yue, leave this to me."
The lady at the wonton stall saw that Shen Yunyue was in a bad mood and sighed to comfort her:
"Girl. The world is like this. I just hope my family can be safe."
yes.
This is the way the world is.
Shen Yunyue knew that her responsibility was to protect the safety of the Shen family.
She nodded and pushed the wheelchair towards the beast fighting area.
Halfway.
Seeing Fu Xuanting standing and talking mysteriously with Xiangling, Shen Yunyue's eyebrows twitched.
How did the two of them get together?
I have a bad feeling. "Xuan Heng, have you seen Xuan Ting? When did she get so close to Xiang Ling?"
Fu Xuanheng sneered:
"Xuan Ting is a spoiled girl, with a personality similar to Concubine Feng. She's selfish and stupid as a pig, and she thinks her foolish thoughts are invisible to others.
She was sold and paid back the money. If she wants to do something stupid, leave her alone."
Fu Xuanheng hates stupid people.
He was too lazy to even speak, he just as much hated the stupid Fu Xuanting.
Shen Yunyue naturally wouldn't bother with her. "I don't care about her. As long as she doesn't affect my Shen family, it's fine. Otherwise, I won't let her go."
"She doesn't have that kind of brains yet." Fu Xuanheng said with deep contempt.
The two of them walked towards the place where the beast fighting was taking place, looking down on Fu Xuanting.
From a distance, I saw several cages stacked together.
There were several children in the cage, the youngest was six or seven years old, and the oldest was no more than ten years old.
On the other side were two cages, each containing a strong dog.
One of them looked like a wolfhound and looked particularly ferocious.
The wolfhound licked its paws with its tongue, and occasionally glanced at the slave in the cage opposite, as if it was enjoying its own delicious food.
Fu Xuanheng fell in love with the wolfdog at first sight.
"This dog is young. If converted into human form, it would only be seven or eight years old."
"Are you talking about the wolfdog?" Shen Yunyue bent down and glanced at the wolfdog.
"Um."
Fu Xuanheng stared at the wolfhound, and the dog seemed to sense something and bared its teeth at him in a threatening manner.
I don’t know what Fu Xuanheng muttered, but the wolfhound actually lay down obediently.
Shen Yunyue always felt a little dizzy, as if she saw a wolfdog trying to please her.
Someone stopped them.
"You have to buy a ticket to get in."
"How much silver?" Shen Yunyue did not look happy in front of these people, and asked in a harsh voice.
The man glanced up at her and said, "Outside, it's five coppers. Inside, it's anywhere from ten to fifty coppers. Are you guys watching out there?"
Shen Yunyue spat at him.
"Who are you looking down on? I'll give you 100 copper coins and two of the best seats in the inner court. Do you think I'm someone who needs money?"
Shen Yunyue, who usually speaks in a friendly manner, seemed to have swallowed up the Flaming Mountain today.
The man was well aware of the principle that harmony brings wealth.
Looking again, the two men were not well dressed, but their behavior was like they came from a wealthy family, especially their aura was dazzling.
He put on a smile and slapped himself.
"Look at my mouth, it always offends you. I'm not someone who is short of money, so I'll pick two of the best seats for you two."
The man spoke so flatteringly.
Shen Yunyue no longer had any reason to get angry.
It was like a fist hitting cotton.
He gave the man a hundred copper coins as the entrance fee and gave him five copper coins. "This is a reward for you."
"Thank you for the reward, Auntie."
He ordered someone to take Shen Yunyue and the other two to the designated location, and the smile on his face disappeared. He touched his chin and looked at Shen Yunyue and the other two, and said to the person next to him:
"Where did these two come from? Is there any distinguished person coming to the ferry today?"
"Looking back, no nobles came to the ferry, but there was a group of exiles coming."
He slapped them in the face. "Do you think I've never seen an exile?" He pointed at the He family members who came over and stretched out their hands to look. "See? That's what an exile looks like."
"Yes, yes, I am short-sighted."
After Shen Yunyue and the others entered.
Qiu Zhiying and Chen Yunting also came in and sat next to Fu Xuanheng.
Qiu Zhiying touched the dazzling big ring on his hand and crossed his legs. He reached out and threw a silver coin to the servant at the Colosseum, "Go, make me a pot of good tea.
"If there are any snacks that are still edible, please give me some." Qiu Zhiying sat there, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
The rich young master of the Fugui family has set out.
