Chapter 6

"What's wrong, Fluttershy?"

Luo Qingzhou walked over and frowned: "Is someone bullying you again?"

Xiaodie shook her head and wiped her tears and said, "Sir, I just heard from Xiaocui and the others that the master and the eldest lady are not asking you to get married, but to bring you into the Qin Mansion. Is it true?"

Luo Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It turned out to be this.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the little girl's face, and said softly: "It's true, but I think it's pretty good. Why are you crying?"

When Xiaodie heard this, she cried "Wow" and shook her head while crying: "No, no, no, not good at all. How could they allow you to marry me? Master, you are obviously a scholar." Yes, I can still pass the exam in the future. How can I drive you out of the honorable family? It's so shameless for a man to marry into a wife, and he will be looked down upon by others. Even the maids and servants are laughing at him behind his back. Woo..."

Luo Qingzhou smiled and said unconcernedly: "It's okay. Being looked down upon and laughed at is not a day or two. Anyway, I won't lose any weight. As long as I can leave here as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if I get married. Xiaodie, Don’t you want to leave here as soon as possible? This is a good opportunity.”

"Uh-huh, but Master, you can't marry into a wife. If you go over there, you will be inferior to others. Even those maids and slaves can bully you. Xiaocui and the others said that a man who married into a wife is worse than a slave, even if you have to compare with your own family. If you want to have sex with a lady, you still have to ask for her permission."

Xiaodie cried so hard that she felt like she was getting married.

Luo Qingzhou wiped her tears while teasing her with a smile: "What's the point? If she doesn't agree to have sex with her, then she still has you. It's not like I can't find a woman to sleep with. Our Xiaodie is so beautiful. I You don’t care about her, right?”

Xiaodie's face suddenly turned red, and she said with embarrassment and urgency: "Master, it's this time, and you still have the heart to joke, aren't you sad? You are the third son of the Luo family, and they actually I want you to get married and serve someone else’s eldest daughter. You are supposed to be here to serve the young master. Wow, how could the master and his wife do this to you?”

Luo Qingzhou's eyes moved, but his face didn't show too much emotion. He wiped her tears and said, "Okay, Xiaodie, don't cry. Maybe when we get there, we will be better off than here." Even better. I can still study there and take the exam when the time comes.”

Xiaodie sobbed: "Master, I heard from Xiaocui and the others that it was actually the second young master who was engaged to Miss Qin's family, right? Then Miss Qin's family, she...she has a problem, so the master and the eldest lady, and The second young master doesn’t want it anymore, but the Qin family is not easy to mess with, so I can only let you accept this marriage and get married, is that right?”

Luo Qingzhou's eyes flashed and he said, "Maybe."

"But Mr. Qin, Miss Qin...she..."

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. You haven't seen it with your own eyes. How do you know? Maybe I will be a blessing in disguise and marry the most beautiful woman in the world, and it will be them who will regret it."

"Sir..."

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go and eat. Remember to get some more steamed buns. After dinner, let's go shopping and I'll buy you some candied haws."

"Sir, I don't know whether to call you stupid or good. At this time, you are still thinking about the two little beggars in the back alley, and you still have the heart to go shopping."

"Then do you want to eat candied haws on a stick? If not, forget it."

"Yes, slave, I want..."

"Little glutton."

"whee."

Xiaodie burst into tears and laughed.

After the two of them finished eating, they went to the back alley, gave the steamed buns to the two little beggars, and then went out.

Mocheng is very large and divided into inner and outer cities.

Because it is located near the border mountains and there are monsters outside the city, the walls of the outer city are extremely tall and strong.

Except for the soldiers who guard the city stationed there, the people living in the outer city are generally poor people and some people with low status.

Although the title of the Luo family has been passed down for three generations, even the fiefdom has been lost.

But here in Semo City, they are still very powerful and belong to the nobility, so of course they live in the inner city.

The inner city is very prosperous.

Traders from all over the country gather here, and there are even traders from other countries who have traveled long distances across the border to do business.

Shops line both sides of the street.

The variety of products is dazzling.

While Luo Qingzhou was walking around with Xiaodie, he observed these ancient and interesting products and street scenes, and felt a special feeling in his heart.

Crossing the crowded South Street, there is an arch bridge in front.

Under the arch bridge is a river.

The water in the river is clear and there is a thin layer of ice on the edge.

On the steps by the river not far away, there was a woman carrying a bamboo basket full of clothes and raising a mallet high in the cold river water. The clothes were slapped with a "bang" sound and water splashed everywhere.

Under the bridge, a flock of white geese swam by.

By chance, there were four literati wearing thin Confucian shirts and holding folding fans standing on the bridge, talking loudly.

Seeing this scene, Luo Qingzhou was afraid that these people would suddenly start reciting a poem: "A group of geese at the foot of the mountain, booing and driving them into the river..."

That would be wonderful.

When he got closer, he could clearly hear several people discussing national affairs.

"Three days ago, the victory was decided. The eldest princess took advantage of the melee between the two armies and led ten thousand cavalry to charge out from the side. The enemy soldiers they killed were turned upside down and blood flowed into rivers. I heard that even the Heishui River outside our city was It’s all stained red…”

"Brother Yuan Zheng still underestimated our princess. The princess led not 10,000 people, but only 3,000 people. I heard from the soldiers guarding the city. At that time, the princess was dressed in red, riding a flaming horse, holding a blood moon spear, like a god descending from heaven, leading the way, rushing directly into the enemy and killing the enemy leader..."

"That's not right, the princess didn't wear armor? Why did I hear that the princess always wore a red flaming armor on the battlefield?"

"That's not the point. The point is that as soon as the princess appeared, the enemy was defeated, and our army immediately became more motivated and killed countless enemies..."

When Luo Qingzhou and Xiaodie passed by, the conversation between the few people stopped, first looked at him, and then looked at the little maid behind him.

"This little maid is really pretty, but she's a little thinner and her butt is a little smaller."

"She has a slender figure, soft and delicate, and her hands are delicate. I guess the golden lotus in her shoes is also small and delicate, white and tender. If I could hold it in my hand and play with it, it would be absolutely wonderful..."

"I don't know how much this little maid was bought for. If she is kept at home for another year or two and trained well, she will definitely be a charming little beauty..."

Luo Qingzhou looked into the eyes of several people and heard clearly what they were thinking.

He frowned, pulled Xiaodie in front of him, and used his body to block the malicious eyes of these people. He did not stay on the bridge and left quickly.

Seeing this, the few people had to retract their gazes and thought it was a pity.

After a pause, he continued the previous topic.

Luo Qingzhou knew that literati were lustful.

I just didn't expect that these well-dressed guys would have so many dirty thoughts when they saw a woman on the street.

Of course, this also indirectly illustrates the misery of women in this era.

Not everyone is born noble like the eldest princess.

Most women can only become tools for men's entertainment.

Luo Qingzhou sighed secretly and became more determined to become stronger.

Only in this way can he protect himself and the people around him.

Xiaodie is his relative who depends on each other for life.

He must protect her!
