Chapter 1121, Princess Chun'an, who was biased by the story 2
"How about the reputation of the Yuan family and the Ren family?" Xiao Keyan couldn't help but inquire.
Dong Jingyi thought for a while and said, "General Yuan is strict with the army. When my father mentions him, his words are often filled with admiration. As for Mr. Ren, he is the political envoy of Xiliang who took over last year. I didn't listen to me much. Dad mentioned it."
Xiao Keyan nodded and didn't ask any further questions. She continued to go to the rally with Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin. When Dong Zhenghua came over, the three who bought a lot of things went back to the city happily.
In the next few days, Xiao Keyan, accompanied by Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin, not only walked around Ganzhou City, but also inspected his terraced fields and pastures.
By mid-June, there were more and more people in Ganzhou.
On the street full of people, Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi, and Sun Lanxin, who disguised themselves as men, each had a folding fan.
"What a handsome boy!"
Hearing this, Xiao Keyan folded a fan to cover her face, chuckled softly, and looked at Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin jokingly: "You two pay attention, don't go shopping, it will attract the hearts of other girls. ."
Dong Jingyi rolled her eyes indecently: "You are the one to pay attention to, but don't involve me and Lan Xin, others see you, Young Master Xiao!"
Xiao Keyan smiled: "Don't talk about it, just like my brother and my brother, if I am really a man, I promise to make you two dizzy."
Dong Jingyi just wanted to speak, when she heard Sun Lanxin say "Huh" and pointed to the fabric shop diagonally opposite: "Isn't that the number one beauty in Xiliang?"
Xiao Keyan and Dong Jingyi hurriedly followed the direction of Sun Lanxin's fingers, and they saw Ren Yaning, who had met in the assembly square a few days ago, and several of her followers.
Ren Yaning is really good looking, but the most attractive thing about her is that she has a delicate temperament that is completely different from most Western Liang women.
She was panting slightly, her tears were a little bit, and her gestures were so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel the urge to protect him at first sight.
No, someone would fight for her immediately.
In the clothing store, Yuan Yonghao was holding a piece of red yarn from the Western Regions, and looked at the young master in brocade who held the other end of the red yarn with contempt.
"Cao Xingwu, I saw this red yarn first, don't you understand that it comes first?"
Cao Xingwu looked arrogant. Others were afraid of Yuan Yonghao. He was not afraid.
Ren Yaning, standing in the middle of the two, looked at this, then looked at the two, anxious and at a loss.
On the street, Xiao Keyan saw that there was a good show to watch, so naturally he would not miss it. He and Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin gathered at the door of the clothing store with the crowd, watching the competition in the store with great interest.
Xiao Keyan asked Dong Jingyi in a low voice, "Do you know the person who competes with Young Master Yuan?"
Dong Jingyi nodded: "I know this, he is Cao Xingwu, the son of the commander of the capital, this young master Cao, he is very good at reading, and he is a master when he reaches the crown. like."
Xiao Keyan looked at Yuan Yonghao and Cao Xingwu who were competing with each other in the store, and said with a low smile, "I have seen a lot of girls fighting for a certain son today, but today I saw two men fighting over a certain son. The beauties are happy and openly competitive, and it's kind of novel and interesting."
The onlookers looked down on it, but Ren Yaning in the store was so anxious that he almost cried: "You guys don't want to fight, I don't want this red gauze anymore."
Cao Xingwu immediately said: "Yaning, don't worry, I will definitely buy this piece of red yarn and give it to you."
Yuan Yonghao did not speak, but he proved with practical actions that he would not give up this red gauze.
I saw Yuan Yonghao and Cao Xingwu exerting more and more force on their hands, and suddenly, with a 'tear' sound, the red yarn was torn into two pieces from the middle.
The red gauze was destroyed, not only Ren Yaning, but also the onlookers were pity.
Xiao Keyan's attention was not on the red gauze, but on people.
The red gauze was torn off, and Young Master Yuan remained motionless, but Young Master Cao staggered a step.
It can be seen that in martial arts, Young Master Yuan is still above Young Master Cao.
The red gauze was destroyed, Yuan Yonghao's eyes flashed annoyance, and he directly put the red gauze in his hand on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Unlucky!"
Today he was out for a walk and came across the red yarn in this shop.
For some reason, the girl in red that I saw in the assembly square that day came to mind. I felt that she must be beautiful in this red gauze, so I couldn't help but want to buy it.
As for now, he doesn't even know who the girl is, but he doesn't consider it.
Who knew that Cao Xingwu and Ren Yaning had just gotten the red gauze, and as soon as they came, Cao Xingwu was going to grab the red gauze with him.
Can he agree to this?
On this side, Cao Xingwu was comforting Ren Yaning: "Yaning, don't be sad, I will immediately ask the boss to order you a red gauze that is exactly the same."
The red yarn was destroyed, Yuan Yonghao didn't want to stay in the store, so he left the general money to buy the red yarn, and strode out of the clothing store.
As soon as he stepped out of the store, Yuan Yonghao saw Xiao Keyan who was bowing his head and smiling, and at a glance, he recognized that she was the girl in red at the rally, even though she was disguised as a man at this time.
Xiao Keyan was talking to Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin in a low voice, when she suddenly realized that someone was looking at her, and when she looked up, she saw Yuan Yonghao staring at her.
The light in her eyes made her heart beat faster.
Xiao Keyan looked around, this time she was sure that this was Young Master Yuan, who had just staged a two-man-one-girl show with others, and now looked at him with a daring look, and immediately gave him a stern look.
Being stared at by the beautiful woman, Yuan Yonghao's expression suddenly lifted, he stepped up and wanted to go over to chat, but the beautiful woman turned her head and pulled the people around her away.
Yuan Yonghao is not the kind of person who gives up easily. He wanted to chase after him quickly, but Ren Yaning and Cao Xingwu came out at this time, and Ren Yaning blocked his way apologetically.
"Brother Yuan, it's all my fault today. If I hadn't taken a fancy to that piece of red gauze, you and Brother Cao would not have had a conflict. Please look at me and reconcile with Brother Cao, okay? ?"
Yuan Yonghao was in a hurry to chase people, waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "I, Yuan Yonghao, are not such a small-bellied person." After speaking, he passed Ren Yaning and walked to the street.
"Big radish with a heart!"
Xiao Keyan thought of the look in Yuan Yonghao's eyes, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she cursed in a low voice.
Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin didn't hear it clearly, so they didn't understand why.
Sun Lanxin: "What, do you want to eat radish?"
Xiao Keyan: "."
Dong Jingyi smiled and said, "The radish soup in Ganzhou Restaurant is very delicious. How about we go there for lunch?"
Xiao Keyan nodded helplessly: "Okay!"
When Xiao Keyan and the three entered the box on the second floor of the Ganzhou restaurant, Yuan Yonghao and his two friends also met in front of the restaurant.
As soon as they met, Yuan Yonghao's two friends began to joke: "Yonghao, okay, I heard that you are in favor of Miss Boren and openly compete with Cao Xingwu for a piece of red yarn, is it true?"
Yuan Yonghao was a little speechless, and said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? I liked a piece of red yarn, but it has nothing to do with Ren Yaning."
The two friends knew that Yuan Yonghao was embarrassed, they winked at each other, and then gave Yuan Yonghao a look of 'they understand'.
Yuan Yonghao laughed angrily: "Believe it or not!" After speaking, he walked into the restaurant.
In the private room on the second floor, the three of Xiao Keyan, who were shopping and hungry, had already eaten with chopsticks.
"How about it, can the food in this restaurant still satisfy your appetite?" Dong Jingyi asked with a smile.
Xiao Keyan nodded: "Not bad." As she said that, she took a glutinous rice radish ball and took a bite.
While the three of them were having a good time, there was noise and fighting from downstairs.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Keyan was sitting by the window. As soon as he stood up, he saw a group of officers and soldiers appeared on the street, and quickly ran into the restaurant.
"problem occurs!"
Xiao Keyan walked quickly to the door, opened a gap in the door, and prepared to explore the situation of the restaurant.
As the officers and soldiers entered, the sound of fighting in the restaurant became more intense.
As soon as Xiao Keyan stuck out his head, he saw three people walking out of the private room next door. When he saw the face of the man in the lead, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Big radish with flower heart!
Yuan Yonghao also saw Xiao Keyan, and before he was too happy, he saw several merchants from the Western Regions with knives running up to the second floor. go with.
"What happened?"
Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin came to Xiao Keyan nervously.
Xiao Keyan closed the door before opening her mouth: "Some businessmen from the Western Regions are making trouble!"
Hearing this, Dong Jingyi immediately became angry: "It must be those Western merchants who don't want to pay customs duties. After the opening of the mutual market in Ganzhou, there will always be many Western merchants who are unwilling to pay tariffs every year and smuggle into the country for the sake of Therefore, my father has a lot of headaches."
Xiao Keyan frowned: "The mutual market has to strengthen its management. Businessmen in the Western Regions not only evade taxes, but also dare to openly hurt others. It shows that we are too gentle with them!"
Just then, a roar came from downstairs: "Don't come here, I'll kill her if you come again!"
"Let go of her! If you dare to hurt her hair, all of you will die."
Xiao Keyan opened the door again. Because of Yuan Yonghao's obstruction, no merchants from the Western Regions came up from the second floor. At this time, everyone opened the door and watched the situation downstairs.
"Someone was held hostage!"
"It's the girl Ren, the most beautiful woman in Xiliang!"
Hearing this, Dong Jingyi's expression changed. She stood by the door and looked downstairs. Seeing that Ren Yaning had really been kidnapped, she said anxiously, "If something happened to Miss Ren in Ganzhou, my father would definitely Being held accountable by Mr. Ren."
Xiao Keyan looked at the situation downstairs, reached out and took the slingshot around her waist, walked out of the room, and stood in front of the fence.
Downstairs, Yuan Yonghao and Cao Xingwu stood on both sides of the Western merchants who were holding Ren Yaning hostage, with officers and soldiers in the middle.
The situation is tense.
"Let us go, or we'll kill her!"
Cao Xingwu saw that the dagger of the merchant from the Western Regions was on Ren Yaning's neck, and he quickly signaled the officers and soldiers to let the gate out.
"Go, get us a carriage!"
"hurry up!"
The two Western merchants who were holding Ren Yaning slowly moved towards the gate.
Upstairs, Xiao Keyan calculated the speed at which he fired the slingshot, decisively took out a soft pill, and shot it directly at the merchant from the Western Regions who held Ren Yaning hostage.
"what!"
The sudden attack shocked the Western merchants, and the dagger in his hand relaxed.
At this moment, Yuan Yonghao saw the opportunity and rushed over quickly, and a side kick directly lifted the person several meters away.
When he was about to attack the second Western Regions merchant, he saw a white pill flying past his eyes, hitting the Western Regions merchant's people accurately.
Then, the merchants from the Western Regions fell softly like a deflated ball.
Yuan Yonghao turned his head sharply, just saw Xiao Keyan retracting the slingshot, and then smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Keyan snorted and ignored it. Seeing that the officers and soldiers had controlled all the merchants in the Western Regions, she turned around and returned to the private room.
Yuan Yonghao was stunned for a while, then touched his chin with a puzzled look on his face.
This is the third time he has been ignored by beautiful women!
His handsome face is not attractive anymore?
In the private room on the second floor, Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin were watching with Xiao Keyan's slingshot, and they said that they would have to prepare one next time.
Xiao Keyan smiled: "It's useless to prepare, you have to have a high hit rate."
Dong Jingyi: "Keyan, why are you playing so accurately?"
Xiao Keyan: "Just practice more."
The three of them waited for a while, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers had suppressed the merchants from the Western Regions and left, they also prepared to leave.
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the door, they saw Yuan Yonghao smiling and standing outside the door.
"Thank you girl for helping me just now!"
Xiao Keyan glanced at him, ignored him, and went straight past him downstairs.
Yuan Yonghao: "Girl, I'm not malicious, I just want to express my gratitude."
Hearing this, Xiao Keyan stopped and looked at Yuan Yonghao: "I saved Miss Ren, what's the relationship with you? Do you need to thank me?"
Yuan Yonghao: "." The tone was so aggressive, did he offend her?
Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin looked at Yuan Yonghao and quickly went after Xiao Keyan.
"Who are you looking at?"
Two of Yuan Yonghao's friends came over and followed Yuan Yonghao's line of sight to look downstairs. One of them said "Huh", "Isn't that Miss Dong?"
Yuan Yonghao quickly grabbed him when he heard it: "Do you know those three girls?"
The friend smiled and said, "Why don't you know him? That's the daughter of Dong Zhifu. I've seen it several times."
Yuan Yonghao's eyes lit up: "It turns out to be a girl from Dong Da's family, no wonder. She has such a personality."
Father usually mentions this Dong Zhifu very much, and he appreciates it very much. Thinking of his parents' vague proposal before, Yuan Yonghao couldn't help but jump up in his heart.
Because of the hijacking of businessmen from the Western Regions, Mrs. Dong did not dare to let Xiao Keyan and Dong Jingyi continue to run out, and the two could only stay in the mansion to pass the time.
It was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, Xiao Keyan got bored. Dong Jingyi saw it, thought about it, and asked the maids to go out and inquire about the gossip of Ganzhou and come back and tell them.
In the afternoon of that day, the maid hurriedly told the two about the new things of the past two days.
"Ms. Ren was kidnapped and was a little frightened. After Mrs. Ren found out, she came to Ganzhou City in person. This morning, Mrs. Ren took Ms. Ren to the Yuan family's mansion in Ganzhou City, holding a thick thank you gift. , said it was to thank Young Master Yuan for his life-saving grace."
Dong Jingyi glanced at Xiao Keyan: "It should be you that Miss Ren really wants to thank."
Xiao Keyan smiled indifferently: "Am I the one who lacks that kind of gratitude?"
Dong Jingyi smiled and took Xiao Keyan's hand.
Xiao Keyan was frightened by her smile and shivered, and quickly drew back her hand: "If you have something to say, someone has to move, it's not solemn."
Dong Jingyi was amused: "I just wanted to thank you, if something happened to Miss Ren, it would be difficult for my father to explain to Lord Ren."
Xiao Keyan waved her hand casually: "Oh, we don't need to be so polite." After speaking, she looked at the maid, "Continue talking."
Maid: "When Mrs. Ren and Miss Ren left, they were said to be smiling. There are rumors that the Ren family and the Yuan family intend to marry."
"Don't say it, Young Master Yuan is brave and mighty, and the girl is gentle and beautiful. They are really a natural couple."
Hearing this, Xiao Keyan was a little unhappy for no reason: "Heroic and mighty? Why didn't I see it? Just like him, my father, my brother, and my younger brother, whoever twists one out will be a hundred times stronger than him. times."
Looking at Xiao Keyan who was suddenly angry, Dong Jingyi and the maid were a little confused and looked at her stupidly.
