Chapter 104 Jokes
Captain Zhao turned around to greet him, "New girl. Just now, Captain Zhao sent word that many of the brothers who were rounding up the Qianji Cult were injured and will be back in an hour at the latest. I have to have the doctor and the police come back first." The medicine is all arranged.”

Dr. Liu from the government office was called to the meeting hall in front. Xin Nuo felt that this doctor might not be enough, so he asked Team Leader Zhao to go to the street to find some doctors from medical clinics with better reputations.

Doctor Liu sat in an armchair and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't believe in my medical skills, right?"

Xin Nuo said: "I don't know your medical skills, but I heard that your stick sore medicine is very effective."

Doctor Liu:---

This girl didn't say a bad word, she actually made it clear: she just didn't trust her.

But Dr. Liu was not angry at all, he smiled and said, "There is a lot of competition for my sore medicine in this government office."

While they were talking, the doctor invited from outside also arrived.

Xinnuo looked at a room full of old doctors and felt his eyes were a little hurt, so he ran outside the government office and waited at the gate.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps came this way. Xinnuo took two steps forward, and Chu Wei's figure sitting on the black horse came into view.

"Are you hurt?"

When he came to him, Chu Wei got off his horse, and Xin Nuo looked at his broken arm.

And it didn't look like the wound was made by a sword, it seemed like it was torn directly by some animal.

Xin Nuo was worried, holding his arm and coming over to take a look, "What happened? Didn't you go arrest him?"

Chu Wei seemed to touch her hair hanging by her ears. Such a worried look really moved his heart.

"It's nothing serious," he said with a smile on his lips.

Hu Ping was a big man, but he looked frightened at this time. When he came over and heard the words of the Lord, he couldn't help but said: "If the Lord hadn't been in time, several of our brothers would have had their throats bitten by the bloodthirsty female demon and sucked the blood. ”

Xin Nuo was horrified by what he heard, and always felt that being bitten, whether by a human or a dog, was not a good thing.

"Has anyone been bitten?" she asked.

Hu Ping was the advance team that went out with Zhang Ku, and because he was now the head catcher of the government office, he was very responsible for the officers he brought out. He knew who was injured and who was not.

"Two people were bitten, but we pulled them out in time, so the wounds were not serious."

As he said that, two guards with scars on their necks came forward and said with a smile: "Girls, it's us. The superficial wounds are all scabbed. It's fine now."

"It just looks fine," Xin Nuo disagreed. "What if the person who bit you had poison in his mouth? I think you two should go in and ask the doctor to take a look and make some detoxifying soup to drink."

This sentence made the two policemen become a little serious. Finally, they followed the left-behind policeman who ran out of the government office to find the doctor.

Xin Nuo looked back and asked, "Didn't anyone get caught?"

Chu Wei: "We caught him. Only a few hall masters escaped. Because they are prisoners, Zhang Ku has already taken them to the prison."

Xinnuo nodded, at this moment, two guards came hurriedly carrying a door panel, and said: "My lord, this man seems to be dying."

Lying on the door panel was a young woman. There was still a beaded hairpin in her black hair, and her eyebrows were delicately painted, but she was looking very embarrassed at this time.

There was a bloody wound on her neck, which looked like her throat had been bitten alive.

Xinnuo's scalp was numb, and even though he had seen many corpses, this was the first time he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Chu Wei stretched out his hand and tried the intact side of the woman's neck. The pulse was already very weak.

"Send it inside quickly, there are three doctors waiting in the meeting hall." Xin Nuo said.

When the two officers saw that the adult did not stop him, they immediately carried the person and rushed in.

"Was it bitten by someone?" Xinnuo asked Xiang Chuwei.

Chu Wei felt a little regretful, "When we went there, the courtyard was in chaos. This woman had been lying on the ground for a long time."

How can a person be raised as a vampire?

Xin Nuo grabbed Chu Wei, "You also go to the meeting hall, and I will give you medicine."

Everything was busy and the sky was pockmarked. Chu Wei asked Xinnuo to go back first. Xinnuo shook his head and insisted on going with him.

Chu Wei, who still planned to stay to deal with the official documents, had no choice but to go back with her. Before leaving, he told the painter in the yamen, "Stay a little longer and draw a portrait of this woman and put it up inside and outside the city. Maybe go directly to Flower Street." Ask to see if she has any relatives?"

"How do you know that woman is from Flower Street?"

As soon as he came out after giving the instructions, he heard the girl waiting outside ask this question. Chu Wei was not angry, but felt quite happy.

"I just saw it," Chu Wei said as he walked away. "Ordinary women don't put on as much makeup as the woman we brought here. In addition, did you notice her bun? "

Xin Nuo said: "What's wrong with the bun?"

Of course she noticed that the woman's bun was very close to her head, towering high on the top of her head, and her hairpin was pinned at the root of her hair. It looked quite special.

But it’s not very pretty.

She looked at Chu Wei.

For a moment, Chu Wei understood the doubts on this beautiful little face, and smiled helplessly: "I don't pay attention because it looks good, but because of the kind of hair accessories. Currently, in Shenjing, only women from brothels can comb it."

Now explain it clearly.

Having arrived at the stable, Chu Wei walked over and took his other spare horse that had been staying in the stable. The new and naughty little mare was brought out for her.

The girl took the reins from his hand and said with a bit of contempt on her face, "It seems that Mr. Chu knows a lot about women in brothels."

How do you know that women in Shenjing don’t wear this bun, so where else can women do it?
Strangely, Chu Wei saw where she was dissatisfied again.

He couldn't help but chuckle and explained: "I was in Yangzhou before and solved a case related to a brothel girl, so I know a little bit about it."

Xinnuo didn't want to talk about this topic, but it wasn't that she didn't like the person she liked being involved with a brothel at all. She had a strange idea. She always felt that it was unfair that men had brothels for entertainment while women didn't have "red chambers".

On the way back to the inner city, Chu Wei thought of several topics to talk to the little girl, but she could persist in just talking perfunctorily from beginning to end.

When they were separated at a fork in the road to Cheng Mansion, Chu Wei said with a smile: "Go back quickly. Don't bring the depression home."

Xin Nuo rolled her eyes at him and ran away.

Does this elder brother have any meaning for him in that regard?

In fact, after being coaxed all the way, she was no longer angry.

But if he likes her, shouldn't the senior brother promise that he won't pay attention to anything like brothels in the future?
Today, the gate of Cheng's mansion is a little lively.

There were two small green mule carts parked at the corner gate, and a woman from Mrs. Cheng's place was sending several women into the cart with a smile.

"Second Miss, wait a moment."

The mother-in-law sent the car away, turned around and caught up with Xin Nuo, who had already led the horse into the house.

"Say something directly."

Xinnuo recognized those women. They were embroiderers from a cloth shop in Shenjing, and they were also in charge of making clothes.For wealthy families, people need door-to-door service to make clothes, so the cloth shop has a few well-spoken people who will come to the door whenever there is new cloth or something new.

Just like those nuns and storytellers who often come and go from wealthy families.

The mother-in-law smiled and did not talk about her affairs. Instead, she said: "The second young lady has such a bad temper. I haven't said anything yet. I'm going to be angry with you first."

She said with a smile on her face. It didn't look like she was angry, but she was definitely embarrassed by Xin Nuo.

This woman is well-dressed, half-worn silks and satins made of good materials. She is not a gift from the master. How can she, a servant girl, wear it?From this it can be seen that this woman has a lot of face, no wonder she has to be careful.

But Xinnuo didn't care whether she was valued by any master or not. The words she just said were not angry, but now she frowned and said directly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, let it go. I don't have time to chat with you." "

The mother-in-law's face suddenly became colorful, but he still didn't get straight to the point. The smile on his old, virginal face became even more obvious, "The second young lady's temper is really explosive."

Xin Nuo turned around and left, ignoring her nonsense.

The mother-in-law obviously thought that this second lady was like this. She stood in the air at a crossroads where servants were coming and going, her face turned green and white.

"Hahaha," a string of crisp laughter came from Cheng Xuelian's mouth. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, laughing so hard that her face became a little rosy, and then she said to Cheng Xueyun who was sitting next to her: "That's... Aunt A Ping, an old woman who married with my grandmother back then, even our father wanted to give her a little more face, but today she was asked to give her a good pout."

Cheng Xuelian has already made an appointment for a marriage, and she still likes it, and now every day is going smoothly, and her plain face looks better than before with rouge.

Cheng Xueyun has been getting closer to her eldest sister in the past two days. She came over after nap and stayed until dinner. She seemed to be less aloof than before. Hearing this, she smiled and said: "She acts like a wild girl all day long. Father knows it." , she will definitely not lose her first meal."

"Those who grew up outside are always more rude in etiquette," Cheng Xuelian shook her head and said sincerely, "Sometimes when I think about it, I worry about my mother."

Cheng Xueyun said: "Sister, this is not something you should say casually."

Cheng Xuelian signaled the maids beside her to go out, took Cheng Xueyun's hand, and said: "I have been getting along with you these past two days. What's more, we are both concubines, so we should stand on the same line. Isn’t it?”

Cheng Xueyun smiled and nodded.

"You see, in our family now, the real pro daughter is not worthy of virtue. There are some who were raised at home since childhood, but they are not Cheng's daughter at all."

Cheng Xuelian paused and said, "Think about it carefully, for the three of us concubines, is it a good thing to see the sky at the first sight?"

Seeing that Cheng Xueyun had no special reaction, she spoke more clearly: "If someone from a similar family background wants to marry into our family, but even the legitimate daughters on the left and right will look down on it, shouldn't it be up to us to take the lead?"

Cheng Xueyun nodded, not looking too happy.

"Why are you still so neither surprised nor overjoyed?" Cheng Xuelian pushed her a little and said, "Plan carefully, and you will be able to become the legitimate wives of a legitimate son of a decent family."

Cheng Xueyun picked up the book at hand and smiled, "Sister, we all grew up in the capital. Who's family doesn't know everything about it? Even if there is a chance, people still have to choose, really good families. They don’t look down on us at all.”

Envious eyes fell on Cheng Xuelian, "Unlike the eldest sister, who settled on a good match early. My brother-in-law is both talented and able to live his life calmly. That is a truly good marriage."

Cheng Xuelian raised her eyebrows and smiled happily: "It's useless for you to be envious. I'll take advantage of you first."

Cheng Xueyun's eyes changed slightly and he said casually: "Sister said that as if I also want to marry my brother-in-law."

Cheng Xuelian leaned back and said, "I didn't know what you were thinking before, but if you have any extravagant hopes in the future, they can only be extravagant hopes."

Cheng Xueyun felt a touch of bitterness in his heart. Cheng Xuelian, who had looked serious just now, suddenly laughed and took Cheng Xueyun's hand: "Third sister, I was just joking with you. Didn't you take it seriously? Or do you really like me? Brother-in-law?"

"Elder Sister's words make me ashamed." Cheng Xueyun pulled out her hand, with a look of panic on her face, "If only a few words are spread, I will lose face."

Cheng Xuelian smiled and said: "Third sister, don't worry, I'm keeping things very tight here. I guarantee that not even a word of our sisters' private conversations will be spread out."

Cheng Xueyun breathed a sigh of relief, "This puts me at ease. Sister, please stop being so unabashed."

"No more talk, no more talk," Cheng Xuelian waved her hands and put her elbows on the table, "Let's get down to business. Grandma is looking for someone to make clothes today. I heard that Concubine De and Concubine Li will be in the palace on the day of the Beginning of Autumn. There is a banquet here, because it is the first palace banquet prepared by the two empresses together after the queen empress fled the palace. Everyone attaches great importance to it. There are also many people who have children of the same age, so they must take the opportunity to see each other. Let's go and choose a good one. Material, when the time comes, I can make a small splash in the limelight.”

Cheng Xueyun looked uninterested: "No matter how good the material is, if it doesn't match the good looks, it's still vulgar."

The proud Cheng Xuelian persuaded her again and again, her eyes turned to understand, and she smiled and said: "You are so narrow-minded, how can you compare with that guy from the country? Don't you think that your appearance will make you grow old? No matter how good you look now, in three to five years , When you get older, you still don’t look like a married woman? But if you have knowledge, this matter can get better and better. "

So why should you be afraid.

Cheng Xuelian's eyes were full of encouragement.

Cheng Xueyun sneered in his heart, this is how his life is going. Do you want to use me as a target and poke me in front of you to set up a stage for you to watch a show?
The Cheng family has a larger population and fewer people, so it seems very lively. The Ruiminghou Mansion, located in the second household on Donghu Street near the imperial city, is exceptionally quiet.

After entering the gate, there is a relatively narrow gravel road surrounded by flowers. Of course, there is also a main road for carriages. The road directly opposite the gate is straight and wide.

When in a hurry, it is convenient and fast to take this road.

Today was more leisurely, and Chu Wei took a winding path.
