Chapter 178 The protagonist's best mother (sixty-five)
"Mother, this Hu Bing is so delicious!"
"Yeah, it tastes good to me!"
"Let's go to the next store and have a look. The fragrant tea osmanthus cakes at Fuxiangzhai are especially delicious."
"What kind of cake is Fragrant Tea Osmanthus Cake? Is it delicious?"
In the bustling East Market, two women were arm in arm, talking affectionately.
They looked even closer than biological mother and daughter.
"Make way! Make way!"
"Oh no! The horse is frightened!"
“Get out of the way, get out of the way~~”
Suddenly, a burst of rapid shouts was heard in the distance. The last "ah" was long and trembling, clearly reflecting the mood of the young man in brocade clothes on horseback.
Fear! Endless fear.
I was afraid that I would fall off my horse, and I was also afraid that my horse would hit an innocent passerby.
Woohoo, although he likes to play a little, he is not a dissolute young man who would not take human life lightly.
When everyone heard the sound, they all moved away.
Only two women walking together seemed stunned by the scene before them.
Their faces turned pale and their legs went weak.
He stared blankly at the frightened horse running straight towards him, and was completely unable to react.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Oh, these two women, what's going on?"
"You must be scared!"
The people who had hurriedly fled to a safe area couldn't help but worry about the couple when they saw them.
The young man in brocade clothes on the horse was even more anxious, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Ahhh, help them, pull them apart!"
The young man in brocade clothes uttered a hoarse "ah".
He was terrified and desperate, but no one ran to pull the two women apart.
He simply closed his eyes, not wanting to see the tragic scene of the woman being knocked away by his frightened horse.
Just when the young man in brocade clothes was about to close his eyes, a young girl suddenly rushed out and stretched out her hand towards the frightened horse.
The young man in brocade clothes became more and more flustered. He stared at the reckless girl with a look of idiot: What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed? You actually reached out to stop the frightened horse?
You, you don't even look at yourself -
Huh? What's going on? The young man in brocade clothes felt that the scene before his eyes was completely beyond his cognition.
The little girl, who didn't look very strong, was just tall and thin, but she actually grabbed the frightened horse with her hands.
And then, nothing happened.
It was as if a frightened horse carrying a thunderous force was easily restrained.
No one was hit, and the young man in brocade clothes on the horse was not thrown out or had his neck broken.
The young man in brocade clothes stared with wide eyes: Is this still a human being?
She is clearly the female hero and warrior described in the storybooks.
God's power from heaven! Superb Kung Fu! The young man in brocade clothes was fifteen or sixteen years old, and was already passionate and immature.
His favorable background and the love of his family gave him more opportunities to indulge in his "dream of the underworld".
"Lady warrior——"
In the mind of the young man in brocade clothes, passionate words such as martial arts master, strong enough to lift a tripod, roaming the world with a sword, and chivalrous and righteous people have emerged.
However, after the girl stopped the frightened horse, she ignored him and went straight to the couple who were so scared that they collapsed on the ground.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Gu Lanyin went to Granny Hu's Hubing shop next door and bought a few more freshly baked Hubings. When she turned around, she saw her aunt and her new cousin's wife being frightened silly by a frightened horse.
After stuffing the hot and fragrant Hu Bing into his mouth in a few bites, Gu Lanyin rushed over.
"How scary, oooooo!"
"Woo woo, what my mother said is right, a frightened horse is really scary!"
Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, hugged each other, sobbing and whimpering! They cried so hard that their delicate bodies trembled, which was very scary to watch.
When the young man in brocade clothes heard the crying, he was awakened from his dream of being a female knight in the martial arts world.
Oops!
Almost hit someone! Although the two women were not hit, they were scared!
The young man in brocade clothes is really not an arrogant and reckless playboy.
He hurriedly climbed down from the horse and crawled over to the front. Just as he was about to apologize to the two "victims", he looked up and saw the face of one of them clearly, and was immediately frightened -
"Princess Nanping?"
That sickly guy from the Han family who vomits blood all the time?
OMG!
Did I not check the almanac before going out? I almost bumped into her. Although I didn't bump into her, I frightened her to tears.
She won't vomit blood.
Is she okay?
Woohoo! If my father knew that his frightened horse had made Princess Nanping cry, he would definitely whip me hard, regardless of the objections of my grandmother, mother, and aunt! Wow! No! "Xiao Xiaoliu?!"
Through tearful eyes, Han Jiaojiao saw the boy's appearance clearly.
The young master of the Feng'en Han family, the nephew of the current queen, and the cousin of the crown prince and several princes! In name, the queen is Han Jiaojiao's "aunt".
Han Jiaojiao and the Xiao family are also relatives.
Whenever he saw Xiao Xiaoliu in the palace or at a banquet outside, he would politely call him "cousin".
"Cousin!"
Xiao Xiaoliu felt bitter in his mouth and his vision went dark.
He had already anticipated the "family punishment" that he was about to suffer.
"How dare you, Xiao Xiaoliu, ride a horse in the East Market."
"No, no! My horse got frightened for some reason, and that's why—"
"Well, I don't care. Your frightened horse scared me. And my mother-in-law—"
"What? This is your mother-in-law?"
So beautiful? So weak? As an elder, she actually hugged her daughter-in-law and cried?
Xiao Xiaoliu's three views were shattered again.
"Xiao Xiaoliu, what's with that look in your eyes? I'm telling you, you scared me and my mother-in-law, so you must apologize!"
"Compensate! I will definitely compensate! Aunt Zhao, I'm so sorry!"
"Just say 'I'm sorry' and that's it? Not only did you almost hit us, but our Lan Yin also stopped the frightened horse and saved you. Xiao Xiaoliu, have you forgotten that a few days ago, a nobleman broke his neck while riding a horse."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“…”
Xiao Liulang also thought of the playboy who died tragically.
Without bothering to argue with Han Jiaojiao, Xiao Liulang shuddered.
He broke his neck and died on the spot...that scene was so horrific.
It was precisely because of the lesson learned from that dandy boy that during this period, there were fewer young powerful men riding horses in the capital.
Xiao Liulang did not deliberately let go of his horse, his horse was really frightened.
He was walking along just fine, and then, suddenly he went crazy.
Han Jiaojiao: ...Tsk, someone must have tampered with this!
Tsk tsk, things aren’t peaceful in Feng’en Mansion either.
Han Jiaojiao looked at Xiao Liulang with sympathy.
However, sympathy is sympathy, but apology is necessary.
Xiao Liulang scratched his head helplessly. He was just a well-educated young man.
Although he was spoiled by his family, he didn't have much money.
In the end, Xiao Liulang had no choice but to invite his own cousin, the seventh prince born to the saint and the queen.
The Saint and Empress Xiao were married forever, and they had a very good relationship.
Empress Xiao gave birth to four sons for the Saint in one breath: the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince.
It can be said that all the older princes were born to Empress Xiao.
The four legitimate princes also helped Empress Xiao to firmly secure her throne as empress.
The eldest son was named the crown prince since he was young, the third prince is both civil and military, and the fourth prince is calm and thoughtful.
Each of these three sons is very outstanding.
Empress Xiao was not afraid at all - if the eldest son became disabled, the third and fourth sons could take his place!
I have the confidence and I have faith in my son and myself.
In fact, the saint also valued Empress Xiao and the Crown Prince very much.
The third prince, the fourth prince, etc. are also the saint’s beloved sons.
With three promising sons, Empress Xiao and the Saint became more tolerant and indulgent towards the Seventh Prince, the "youngest son".
Therefore, the Seventh Prince had no ambitions since he was young and only wanted to be a rich and idle king.
He is an average student, mediocre in reading and martial arts, but he is very good at eating, drinking and having fun.
The Xiao family is an in-law family, so the crown prince and other older princes still have to be cautious.
The seventh prince had none of that. He was very close to his maternal grandfather's family.
He and his cousin Xiao Liulang are like brothers.
When Xiao Liulang got into trouble, the Seventh Prince came to clean up the mess.
Seeing the frail Han Jiaojiao and then the even frail Gu Qingcheng, the Seventh Prince was overwhelmed.
After a long while, he rubbed his forehead and said, "A few days ago, my father complained that I was 'unlearned' and wanted to find a teacher to teach me to read the Book of Rites."
"Zhao Zhuangyuan is a rare person who has passed the imperial examination with six first prizes. His knowledge has always been excellent."
"Why are you working as an editor in the Imperial Academy? Why don't you just come to my Prince Kang's mansion and teach me how to read?"
Editor of the Hanlin Academy, sixth rank.
As for being a teacher to a prince who is favored by both the emperor and the empress but has no part in the fight for the throne, one must at least be of the fifth rank.
The key is the change in identity. With the Prince Kang's Mansion, Zhao Qingyun is no longer a poor boy with no roots.
There was a gleam of light in the eyes of Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked equally ignorant and stupid.
"Okay, Qilang, for your sake, I won't pursue the matter!"
"...My husband is the most polite one. You can't bully him just because you are a prince!"
Han Jiaojiao secretly reminded the Seventh Prince not to treat his own husband the same way he treated other gentlemen in the past.
The Seventh Prince rubbed his nose and said: I dare you to do that! But I am more afraid of you crying! If you vomit blood or something, I can't stand it!
Just like that, Zhao Qingyun, the newly crowned top scholar, had just joined the Hanlin Academy not long ago and he was given the identity of an official in Prince Kang's Palace.
Zhao Qingyun is young and handsome, and his lectures are not rigid but rather very lively.
The Seventh Prince actually developed some interest in reading.
And the Zhao family, there are so many interesting people——
The weak mother-in-law, the strong cousin, the shrewd accountant cousin, and the honest cousin who wields a mace.
The Zhao family also has a lot of delicious food.
They are obviously some crude country stuff, but they can be made into something very exquisite.
Oh, by the way, that little cook is also a member of the Zhao family.
The Seventh Prince liked the Zhao family more and more, and would go to the Zhao family whenever he had time...
