Late at night, a small bundle was thrown out from the high wall of the county government. Then, a small figure jumped onto the wall. At this time, the person did not forget to look left and right. After making sure that no one saw it, he jumped down with relief. He picked up the small bundle on the ground and carried it on his back, ready to run away from home.
Needless to say, this person who climbed the wall and ran away from home in the middle of the night was naturally the precious daughter of Shaoxing County Magistrate Zhu Zhen. She was also the third treasure of Shaoxing's population!! Zhu Xiaoxiao.
Why did he run away from home? Of course, it was because she didn't want to get married. She didn't want to marry that young master who only knew how to rely on Fifth Brother to do whatever he wanted!! Yuyun.
She, Zhu Xiaoxiao, had been determined to be a chivalrous woman since she was young. She wanted to beat up all the evil people and save all living beings. How could she marry so easily? Furthermore, she was marrying a big, big idiot who couldn't even dodge a punch from her?
Humph! The reason why she beat up all the hooligans in Shaoxing was to declare justice. Otherwise, why would she have to patrol Shaoxing City with her little followers all day long?
For example, when she bumped into Zhao Shishi, the vixen who stole Mrs. Wu's husband yesterday, she beat Zhao Shishi to death and the whole city cheered for her. Now that she was in trouble, how could she, the "Shaoxing Heroine", sit still and wait for death?
But that Yuyun had a great background! Not only was he a relative of the royal family, but he was also Fifth Master's confidant. Even her father, who had always been arrogant, was afraid of him. As a result, she, the Shaoxing heroine, did not dare to show off her skills, afraid that she would harm her father. So she had no choice but to run away! Who taught her father to speak in a lower voice than others?
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but find a big tree by the roadside to vent her anger. She swung her small fists and punched fiercely. She kicked the three-inch golden lotus with all her might, treating the poor tree as a cloud and beating it fiercely for a while.
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for your stone clouds, paper clouds, smelly clouds, and messy clouds, why would I give up my cute little nest and run away from home? It's all your fault, all your fault! I'll beat you, beat you, beat you to death!"
At this moment, a light cough came from behind Zhu Xiaoxiao.
"My name is Yuyun, not some stone cloud, paper cloud, smelly cloud, or messy cloud. Moreover, aren't you afraid of hurting your hand by hitting this tree like this? If you're really that angry, I'll just let you beat me up.”
Zhu Xiao Xiao was startled and turned around abruptly. She was surprised to see the elegant and thin Yu Yun standing in the night. The night breeze blew his clothes, making him look indescribably elegant and handsome.
"You…"
Yuyun walked up to Zhu Xiaoxiao and grabbed her little hand and placed it in front of her chest." You can hit me!" If hitting me can make you calm down and stop hurting yourself, then I'd rather let you hit me!”
His grab and touch made Zhu Xiaoxiao feel as if she was struck by lightning. Her body trembled and she hurriedly dodged.
Her face turned red, and she did not know why." I…I don't want to hit you!”
Seeing her take a step back, Yuyun took a step forward." Why? Weren't you very angry with me and wanted to hit me?”
"I don't want to hit you. You don't know martial arts and you're like a sick cat. I'm afraid I'll kill you if I'm not careful! If I beat you to death, Daddy will be punished. I don't want Daddy to be punished, so I won't hit you. I'll hit this tree!”
"Oh? Don't you want your father to suffer because of you?”
"Of course! I only have one father. I can't let him suffer because of me.”
"Then aren't you afraid that you'll cause trouble for your father if you leave?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao glared at him." Why? I'm the one who doesn't want to get married, not my father. Why did I get into trouble for him by running away from the marriage?”
"But the matchmaker's words are the parents 'orders. Although there is no matchmaker's words between you and me, your father personally promised to marry you to me. If you leave, won't your father go against his words and become a person who betrays his trust?”
"So what if I betray you? It's better for him to go back on his word than for me to marry you, a powerless stinky cloud, right?”
Yuyun frowned." Xiaoxiao, do you hate me that much? What's so bad about me that you hate me so much?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao shook her head." I don't hate you. I just don't want to get married. I don't want to marry you."”
"Why? It was natural for men and women to get married when they were of age. Moreover, I've already lifted the notice. The news of your father agreeing to the marriage has already spread throughout the entire city. If you go back on your word now, won't you embarrass your father?”
"So what if it's embarrassing?" Zhu Xiaoxiao said proudly. In short, I just don't want to get married. I don't want to marry you! Besides, I'm just a little girl from the countryside. I don't dare to climb up to you, a relative of the imperial family and a minister of the current dynasty.”
Seeing this girl so stubborn, Yuyun also had to harden her heart,"Zhu Xiaoxiao, do you know why I came to Shaoxing?" Do you know why I published the notice after I arrived in Shaoxing?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao turned her head away and ignored him." I'm not interested, and I don't want to know!”
"If this matter involves your father's safety, are you not interested and do not want to know?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide and looked suspiciously at the handsome Yu Yun.”
"Let me ask you, why did you become one of the Three Treasures of Shaoxing?"”
Zhu Xiaoxiao was proud of the title of Shaoxing Three Treasures! "That's because I served justice and justice in Shaoxing City, so I became one of the Three Treasures of Shaoxing."”
"Is that so? To uphold justice and uphold justice for the heavens? The Great Qing Dynasty had its own laws. Even if the commoners had any grievances, the government would naturally adjudicate them. Why would they need you to uphold justice and enforce justice on behalf of the heavens?”
"What do you know, young master?" Zhu Xiaoxiao shouted fiercely. Don't you know that it's difficult for an upright official to resolve family matters? Don't you know what it means to be protected by officials? Moreover, the law is specially made for people with power and influence like you. To those poor people who have no power, influence, or money, the law is useless!”
"Is that so?"
"Of course! For example, the son of Auntie Zhang outside the city was beaten to death just because he accidentally saw the transaction between the nouveau riche Wu Wanjin and the salt seller in the city. Although Auntie Zhang has my father to help her seek justice, Wu Wanjin directly went to the Zhejiang governor to support her and forced my father to close the case hastily. Do you think there's still justice and law?”
Yuyun's brows furrowed,"Is there such a thing?"”
"Of course! It was because of this that I not only gave Auntie Zhang money and asked her to go to the capital to complain to the Ministry of Justice, but also took advantage of the time when Wu Wanjin went to that dog governor's house to give him a gift and dragged him out of the sedan chair to give him a good beating. I even broke one of his arms and two of his ribs to avenge Auntie Zhang and my father.”
Hearing this, Yuyun almost laughed out loud. She didn't want to point out that when she beat up Wu Wanjin, she and Yuqi happened to be at the side. But…should he admire her courage, or should he break out in a cold sweat for her recklessness?
Wu Wanjin was a salt peddler. To be able to get close to a provincial governor, it was obvious that he was quite capable. This girl was so brazen in beating people up on the street. Would Wu Wanjin let it go? Also, would those people who wrote the memorial to impeach Zhu Zhen let it go just like that?
Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't have Yuyun's thoughtful thoughts. She was proud and proud, and she talked about her "righteous act" for the sake of the heavens. From how she dealt with the unworthy merchants in Shaoxing City to how she went to the brothel to fight with the fox spirits, everything was described in detail. Yuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard it. She sighed and shook her head. She finally understood why this girl was called the third treasure of Shaoxing.
Seeing him sigh, Zhu Xiaoxiao was very dissatisfied." Hey! You stinky cloud, why are you sighing?"
Yuyun stared at her," Xiaoxiao, do you know that your father is the magistrate of Shaoxing?”
"If he isn't the magistrate of Shaoxing, could he be the magistrate of Shaoxing?"”
"Since you are the magistrate of Shaoxing, you should know the law and abide by it. But by doing this, not only does it show that your father doesn't know the law and abide by it, but you also connive at your daughter's violation of the law.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao was slightly shocked." You, you're talking nonsense! What's wrong with me doing these things? Is it wrong for me to teach these evildoers a lesson on behalf of the heavens?”
"Of course not, but there are ways to teach a lesson. It's wrong to use a private punishment like you. Besides, the Qing Dynasty has laws, how can you be allowed to use private punishment?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao waved her hands wildly." But those bad guys also use private punishment to punish people. Why can they but I can't?”
"If they use private punishment, they will be dealt with according to the law. However, you are the daughter of the magistrate of Shaoxing County. If you do this, you will be framing your father for being disloyal and unjust. Any one of you can report it to the magistrate and take your father's head.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao was a little nervous." My father doesn't even know what I've done. If they want to sue me, they can sue me. It has nothing to do with my father!”
Yuyun shook her head." It's too late! This memorial had already been sent to the capital.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned pale." Sent to the capital?”
"That's right, it has already been sent to the capital and was almost sent to the south study to be presented to the emperor. Fortunately, Lord Fifth's sharp eyes stopped him in time, so this memorial was now in Lord Fifth's hands and was kept by Lord Fifth.”Yuyun looked seriously at the pale Zhu Xiaoxiao." Xiaoxiao, now you know what I'm here for, right?”
"You, you're here to investigate…"
Yuyun nodded." That's right. I'm here to investigate why Zhu Zhen, who has a reputation of being an upright official, was impeached for conniving a woman to commit murder and breaking the law.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as she stared at the handsome and unfamiliar man in front of her, who was related to the safety of her entire family.
He was actually ordered by that stinky Fifth Master to investigate his father? And she actually stupidly told him all about her heroic deeds? Heavens! Was there anyone in the world as stupid as her, Zhu Xiaoxiao? He actually confessed?
But what did she do wrong? She was doing good deeds on behalf of the heavens! If she didn't enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, what would happen to those who had been wronged?
No, she absolutely could not give in! Since the first day she started practicing martial arts, she had made up her mind to be a chivalrous woman who would seek justice for the people. How could she surrender just because of a small setback? Didn't Sima Qian say that 'chivalrous men use martial arts to break the prohibitions?' Since it was a violation of martial arts, then he had long risked his life. Why would he care about breaking the law or not!
At the thought of this, Zhu Xiaoxiao's courage suddenly increased." I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of you investigating!”
"What about your father? Don't you care that your father will be implicated because of you?”
" I…" Thinking of her father, Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little guilty.
She also knew that she would cause trouble for her father by messing around, but every time she thought of how she could help those who were bullied, her guilty conscience would disappear without a trace. However, now that she mentioned it to Yuyun, it came out from the bottom of her heart.
"I think the reason why you want to be chivalrous is because of the word filial piety. However, your actions not only made your father unjust, but also greatly unfilial, do you know that?”
" I..." Zhu Xiaoxiao's imposing manner suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Yuyun said softly,"Xiaoxiao, I actually agree with your idea of helping the poor and helping the weak, because there are indeed many unfair things in the world; But think about it, your father is just a seventh-grade magistrate. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, it's still very difficult for you to truly be chivalrous and help the poor and the weak, right?”
Little Thief Zhu looked at him, no longer as crafty and heroic as before. "What…what are you trying to say?"
"Let me ask you, do you want to punish evil openly and uphold justice?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously and said,""Of course I do. I also want to get someone to forge a dog-headed chopper and capture all those corrupt officials! It was a pity that his father's official position was too small, and he was not qualified to create a dog-head chop kacha criminal.”
From her words, it seemed like she was very regretful.
Yuyun almost laughed out loud. He swung the back of his hand down and said seriously,""Marry me. As long as you marry me, I promise to make a dog-head chop for you, so that you can kill as many bad guys as you want.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao looked at him." Marry you?”
"Yes! Marry me and be my wife."
"But you are just a Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, not an imperial envoy on behalf of the heavens. How can you let me kill as many bad guys as I want?”Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pout.
Yuyun smiled slightly." I have Fifth Master as my backer. Have you forgotten?”
"Are you talking about that De Prince Yuqi?”
"Yes! With Fifth Lord's ability, it's not impossible for you to lead the imperial sword to punish evil. It depends on whether you're willing or not!”
Zhu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard that she could openly kill bad people. She nodded her head vigorously." Yes, of course I'm willing."”
Yuyun teased her,"You mean you're willing to marry me?"”
Zhu Xiaoxiao was stunned, then she shook her head hard." I don't want to marry you. I mean, I'm willing to lead the imperial sword to kill bad people!”
"But if you don't marry me first, I won't be able to help you and your father get away with it. If you don't get away with it, your father and you will be locked up in the imperial prison to wait for execution. In this way, let alone the imperial sword, I'm afraid you can only get an executioner's beheading knife!”
Zhu Xiaoxiao glared at him as if she wanted to punch him." Are you threatening me?”
Yuyun smiled confidently, fearless." It's not a threat, it's a fact."”
" But I swore that I would never marry a weak sick cat, unless..." She looked at Yuyun's weak appearance contemptuously." Unless you can beat me, otherwise, no talk."”
Yuyun raised her eyebrows. How can I beat you? Is it a competition or a martial arts competition?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao's watery eyes revealed a trace of cunningness." Both civil and martial arts. It's up to you whether you dare to compete."”
Yuyun pursed his lips, his eyes showing a shrewdness that didn't match his gentle temperament." I'll accompany you even if it's a civil competition. As long as I can marry you, the third treasure of Shaoxing, Yuyun will accompany you to the end even if I have to be beaten to death."”
The next day, the news of Guanglu Temple's Shaoqing Yuyun challenging Shaoxing's third treasure, Zhu Xiaoxiao, immediately caused a sensation in Shaoxing City! No, it should be said that it caused a sensation in the entire Jiangnan area. Even people from Suzhou and Zhenjiang in the neighboring province came to watch. Because everyone was very curious, how would the gentle Yuyun defeat the fierce and shrewish Zhu Xiaoxiao and marry this tigress?
It was said that Zhu Xiaoxiao wanted to show her selflessness, and also to show that this competition was open, fair, and just, so she asked her father to set up an arena at the entrance of the county government. There were two tables on the arena, one for her to sit on, and one for Yuyun to sit on. Below the stage, as soon as the news of the two people's competition spread, it was crowded with people who were watching the fun.
After a night of rest, although Yuyun still had obvious bruises on his nose, it did not damage his graceful bearing and imposing manner.
Today, Yuyun was wearing a bright muslin rose-purple Batulu vest, a gold embroidered green betel nut pouch tied around his waist, and a pair of deerskin boots. He waved his white jade fan, making him look even more handsome and elegant, as if he was a god.
Yuyun climbed onto the arena with the help of her personal guards and smiled charmingly at Zhu Xiaoxiao." Good morning, Miss Zhu. May I ask what the first match is?"”
Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded mysteriously and somewhat proudly, and looked at Yuyun with a pitiful expression." In order not to let you lose too badly, you only need to write a poem to win this round."”
Yuyun raised her eyebrows. What poem?"
"It's neither easy nor difficult. As long as you read this poem correctly and read it backwards, you can understand it. Rhymes are not limited, flat tones are not limited, and the topic is not limited. This should not be difficult for a Guanglu Temple Shaoqing like you, right?”Zhu Xiaoxiao looked at him sneakily, deliberately watching him make a fool of himself.
Manchu people will soon get the world, brave and good at fighting is naturally not a problem, but when it comes to reading and learning, it is a lot worse than the Han people, so Zhu Xiaoxiao this time is clearly to teach Yuyun embarrassment.
How could Yuyun not know what this girl was planning?
However, he only smiled lightly and quickly wrote. After a while, he handed the poem to Zhu Xiaoxiao." Look at this poem, is it okay?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao was surprised. So fast? How did he finish writing so quickly? She had thought that this question was enough for him to rack his brains, but he had finished it in less than fifteen minutes.
Zhu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he didn't hear her clearly, so she said,""Hey! I'm talking about palindromic poems that can be read correctly or backwards! Don't randomly write a poem for me.”
Yuyun smiled coolly." Take a look first!”
Zhu Xiaoxiao took it suspiciously and looked down."
The sun is warm and the weather is sunny. The horse is carved with saddle and embroidered with bridle. The wind is fine, the flowers are red against the ground, and the drizzle is green, dragging smoke. antler
Spreading grass color spring river bend, cloud cut flower tip jade in front of the wall. With regret at this time good meeting rare, flying in the air, dancing in the air.
"Original work/Bear Element"
Then, Zhu Xiaoxiao read the poem backwards,"
Flying in the sky, dancing in the sky, rarely meet such a good time to hate the same. In front of the jade tip flower cut snow, Qujiang spring grass spread velvet. smoke
The green willows were draped in drizzle, and the red flowers on the ground were blown by the wind. The bridle is tied together, the saddle is embroidered, and the horse is carved. The weather is warm and the sun is warm.
Zhu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and she was speechless.
She did not expect this stinky cloud and stinky toad to actually have some skills. It was not the kind of "full bag" that she had thought would only know how to fight and not read.
The so-called full bag was the short form of the full person big idiot. This was the invention that she, Miss Zhu, was quite proud of. She believed that it would be very suitable to use on Yuyun. Who knew that Yuyun was not only a big idiot, but also a great talent!
"How is it? Can I?" Yuyun looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao without blinking, taking in her angry, annoyed, and forced to admit defeat expression.
Zhu Xiaoxiao somewhat unwillingly raised her head and glared at Yu Yun," You're good, you won the first round! Let's compete in the second round."
"What is the second match?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao pointed at the golden hairpin on her head and said,""As long as you can take this golden hairpin away from my head, I will marry you!”
As soon as the voice fell, Zhu Xiaoxiao had already raised her small fist and hit Yuyun's face. Yuyun didn't expect this little girl to hit her so easily. She couldn't dodge in time and flew out with her limbs facing the sky, falling heavily on the ring.
The people below the arena burst into laughter and pointed at Yu Yun without any politeness!! It seemed that this Guanglu Temple Shaoqing was just a good-looking but useless idiot. He still wanted to marry Zhu Xiaoxiao? What a dream!
As for Zhu Xiaoxiao, she was even more rude. She didn't care how many people were watching. She kicked and hit. Because she lost the first round, she couldn't lose the remaining two rounds. Otherwise, she would have to marry this stinky cloud who knew nothing but writing articles.
Poor Yuyun rolled around on the stage, dodging and dodging. She had no strength to resist. Suddenly, her abdomen was kicked by Zhu Xiaoxiao, and her shoulder was punched by Zhu Xiaoxiao. Not long after, even her eyes were swept by this little girl's pink fist. Her eyes darkened on the spot, and she looked very embarrassed.
Just as he, the official of Guanglu Temple, was about to be knocked off the arena by Zhu Xiaoxiao, everyone suddenly heard Zhu Xiaoxiao scream.
"Ah! What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!"
Everyone looked over. It turned out that in order to protect herself, Yuyun had no choice but to use both hands to firmly hug Zhu Xiaoxiao's legs, making Zhu Xiaoxiao embarrassed, angry and anxious. She wanted to kick him but was hugged by him. She wanted to pull her leg but was grabbed by him. Zhu Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
"Are you going to let go or not?" Zhu Xiaoxiao shouted fiercely.”
Yuyun shook her head." I won't let go. Unless you agree to marry me, I won't let go!”
"In your dreams! You stinky cloud, paper cloud, messy cloud, I would rather go to Haining and jump into Qiantang River to commit suicide than marry you!”
Zhu Xiaoxiao cursed, desperately trying to pull her foot out, but Yuyun didn't know anything, but she had learned this pestering kung fu very well, so Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't escape unscathed. So one wanted to pull her leg out, the other hugged tightly. Under the insistence of the two, she actually took off Zhu Xiaoxiao's shoes, revealing her narrow, small, beautiful and attractive three-inch golden lotus in silk socks.
This time, everyone below the stage cheered.
"Alright! Yu Shaoqing, this fierce woman will only marry you!”
"Lord Yu, these shoes are very fragrant! Quickly put it away and thank Miss Zhu!”
Someone even congratulated Zhu Zhen,"Lord Zhu, congratulations on getting a son-in-law who is like a dragon!"”
On and off the stage, taunts and cheers rose and fell. Zhu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she trembled and glared at Yuyun. " You damn cloud, smelly cloud, bad cloud, you've gone too far, you…"
Yuyun's face was bruised and swollen, his entire face was covered in mud and blood, and the braids hanging behind his back were also untied. He looked quite embarrassed, but unexpectedly, he said sincerely,"Xiaoxiao, I didn't do it on purpose. Come, let me help you put on your shoes.”
As he spoke, he grabbed Zhu Xiaoxiao's foot with one hand and picked up her shoes with the other. He really wanted to help her put on her shoes.
The angry Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't even think about it, she raised her other foot and wanted to kick Yuyun's face, but when she was unlucky, she would even choke on water!!
Because of her kick, she was unexpectedly hugged by Yuyun, and because the attack was too fierce, her entire person actually fell forward into Yuyun's arms. The two of them immediately fell into a ball, making the people below the arena laugh again.
"Aiyo, why are the couple getting intimate before they even enter the bridal chamber?”
"She even took off her shoes. How can we not be intimate?”
When the few unworthy disciples saw this, they actually spat out frivolous words.
Zhu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost couldn't speak.""Let me go, let me go!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted,"Yu Shaoqing has the golden hairpin!"”
Everyone, including Zhu Xiaoxiao, froze on the spot.
It turned out that Yuyun took advantage of Zhu Xiaoxiao falling on her body and pulled out her golden hairpin.
Yuyun held the golden hairpin in her hand and looked at her as she asked and announced,"Xiao Xiao, I've already gotten the golden hairpin and won the second match. You can marry me now, right?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao's face was ashen, unable to say a word.#
