Seeing the clouds

Chapter 56 Chapter 55 Dandy never starves to death

Zheng Baiyu walked into the room and saw Zhang Yue lying on the bed safe and sound. He was overjoyed and said, "Cousin, you are not kind. You ran away without explaining the situation to me that night, which caused Dashi and I to be in the inn." I've been waiting for you all day, and you don't know how boring it is."

After hearing this, Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao looked at Zheng Baiyu who entered the room and Li Jingxiong behind him.

Zheng Baiyu didn't notice Fang Suxiao beside Zhang Yue at first. At this time, Fang Suxiao turned her head. Zheng Baiyu saw the scar on her right eyebrow and remembered what Zhang Yue said in the military camp.He was so shocked that his voice trembled: "Sister-in-law?"

Fang Suxiao's fair face turned slightly red again, thinking to herself that these men all looked the same.

And when Li Jingxiong heard Zheng Baiyu say sister-in-law, he, who was not yet enlightened, stupidly shouted to Fang Suxiao: "Sister-in-law."

Fang Suxiao was really helpless.

Zhang Chuchu quickly smoothed things over and said, "What sister-in-law? She is such a big person and has no manners at all. She calls her Sister Su Xiao."

The two of them immediately shouted respectfully: "Sister Su Xiao."

Fang Suxiao smiled and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, they introduced each other. We were all young people and didn't have so many rules, so we became familiar with each other.

Zheng Baiyu sat down on Zhang Yue's bed, not treating himself as an outsider at all, while Li Jingxiong sat on the ground casually. Their sincerity and frankness quickly won Fang Suxiao's favor.Although Fang Suxiao does not leave the house often, after all, his father is the governor of Yongzhou, and there is usually an endless stream of people visiting the house. Fang Suxiao, a hypocrite who appears to be well-behaved but is actually sanctimonious in his heart, does not seem to Young Master, in contrast, Zheng Baiyu and Li Jingxiong, although they are both sons of prominent officials, do not have the arrogance and domineeringness of ordinary Wuling young men at all. One is lively and the other is silly, making them look particularly kind and lovely.

And based on his relationship with Zhang Yue, there will definitely be many opportunities to get along with the two of them in the future. It is definitely a good thing to have two friends of similar age at this time.

Zheng Baiyu looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "What happened that night?"

Zhang Chuchu then replied: "The three of us were walking together that night, and three Northern Xia people passed by us intending to cause trouble in the city. I was afraid that it might be dangerous for you to follow, and the situation was urgent, so I didn't follow you. Elaborate."

Zheng Baiyu was obviously unhappy: "If you think I'm holding you back, then at least bring the big rock with you. He's so resistant to being beaten, maybe he can help you a lot."

Zhang Chuchu looked at Zheng Baiyu's attitude and found it interesting: "I was mainly following the three people in a concealed manner. They are as big as rocks, and they don't do anything lightly. What should I do if my whereabouts are exposed? Besides, I don't think you are holding me back. Because you are quite a drag to begin with, and I have long been used to it."

Like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, Zheng Baiyu immediately jumped up from the bed and protested to Zhang Chuo: "Even if this is the truth, you can't say it so straightforwardly! Sister Su Xiao is still beside you, why don't you let me How can my cousin go out to meet people in the future? This is too much!"

Fang Suxiao giggled when he heard it, and Zhang Chuechu and Li Jingxiong also laughed.

Zheng Baiyu saw Fang Suxiao's expression and said aggrievedly: "Look, Sister Suxiao has made fun of me, and my reputation has been ruined!"

Seeing that the joke was almost over, Zhang Yue smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I don't mean to dislike you. I'm just really worried about your safety that's why I didn't let you follow. After all, you are the only one who has the aunt and uncle." Such a son, if something happens to you, I will not be beaten to death by my aunt who will come from Jincheng with a broom."

Then he turned to look at Fang Suxiao: "Don't laugh at him, save some face for your cousin."

Fang Suxiao smiled and nodded in agreement.

The three of them chatted for a while. Zheng Baiyu felt a little hungry, so he went to ask the doctor if his cousin could leave.The old doctor, who was already in his forties, entered the room to diagnose Zhang Chuo and told him that Zhang Chuo was fine. Then he prescribed some medicine and told him to rest more in the next few days.

Zheng Baiyu smiled and said: "Cousin, you have to pay for this meal after you have left me and Da Shitou alone for a day."

Zhang Chuchu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are the smartest one. You are not short of money. Why do you even have to argue with your cousin about eating?"

Zheng Baiyu said: "Of course I don't care about money, what I want is your attitude, cousin."

Then he turned to look at Fang Suxiao: "Sister Suxiao, come too, let's kill my cousin hard!"

Fang Suxiao was a little surprised: "Should I go too? Isn't it inappropriate?"

Zheng Baiyu said matter-of-factly: "What's inappropriate? Sister Su Xiao has taken care of him for so long, what's wrong with eating him for a meal?"

Fang Suxiao turned to look at Zhang Yue for advice.

Zhang Chuchu smiled and said, "Go."

Fang Suxiao naturally nodded in agreement, and then the four of them went to the most famous Fragrance Pavilion in Chang'an City and found a relatively quiet corner to sit down.

Zheng Baiyu was familiar with the road, summoned the waiter, and ordered all the delicacies on the recipe while everyone was astonished. The noise caused even the people at the next table to turn their heads to see which rich owner was spending money like water.Only the store owner and the waiter looked at it with smiles on their faces, thinking that today was an auspicious day to meet such four wealthy people. They looked at the four people with more and more friendly eyes, and the store owner wanted to serve them one by one in person.

Zhang Chuchu quickly stopped him: "I know you only want to kill my cousin, so you shouldn't order so much. Roast chicken, roast goose, stew... How can we finish all the food for the four of us?"

Zheng Baiyu rolled his eyes: "You only need to care about whether you have enough money. As for the food, even if I can't finish it, the big stone will finish it, right?"

After saying that, Zheng Baiyu looked at Li Jingxiong. Li Jingxiong scratched his head and laughed: "Brother Yue, don't worry, Sister Suxiao, you can eat a big stone."

Zhang Chuchu had no choice but to let Zheng Baiyu take "revenge" on him.Fang Suxiao found it interesting. She sat next to Zhang Yue and looked at his deflated expression, laughing without saying a word.

Although it was a bit strange for Zheng Baiyu to make such a scene, it was still a gathering of friends, and the four of them still enjoyed themselves.

At this moment, a group of people walked into the fragrance hall. The leader was dressed in brocade clothes and jade belt, holding a folding fan with a painting of thousands of galloping horses. This attire showed that he was not an ordinary young man, but it was a pity that this young man was fat. He has a big head, big ears, and a vulgar face. Even if he is dressed to match, he has no temperament at all. He is like a clown in a drama.If ordinary people were dressed like this, some people would have started secretly talking and laughing at him, but no one in Piaoxiang Pavilion dared to laugh at him because he was Cao Yu, the only son of Cao Mao, the current Taiyu Cheng.

The forces of the Han Party, which had taken a small part in the imperial court, were deeply intertwined, but the Han Party itself was actually divided into three levels.The highest-ranking officials are called "Phoenix Heads", middle-ranking officials are called "Eagle Body", and the lowest-ranking officials are called "Chicken Tail". Cao Maosheng, the Imperial Prime Minister, is the "Eagle Body" among the third-ranking officials. The mainstay of the Han Party.Although the Han Party itself is at best united for its own interests and cannot be said to be arrogant and domineering, it is common for the descendants to be lawless in the local area relying on the status of their elders in the court. This is also the case in front of Fang Qifu, the Zhao Ming faction who disagrees with his own political views. The reason for coming to guard.

Tai Yucheng is only the fourth grade. Logically speaking, Cao Yu really doesn't have the capital to be arrogant, but the old lady Yu Sikang is old and will resign soon, and Cao Mao is a suitable candidate for Taiyu. With the support of the Han Party, he can't go out. Unexpectedly, he can be appointed as the next Taiyu.Even though Taiyu and Taiyucheng are only one word apart, their identities are very different. Taiyu is a high-ranking official of the first and second rank of the Nine Qing Dynasties, and can control the vehicles and horses of the entire Qin Dynasty!And war horses are precious resources. How can Cao Yu, a son, not be proud?The word "yu" means "beautiful jade", and it is extremely ironic to use it on Cao Yu, who is fat and has nothing to do with handsome. But there is no way, who can give someone a good father?
I am proud of myself in official circles, and my son is proud of himself in the romantic world. This is the most common thing in the Qin Dynasty.

Any luxurious clothes are only worn once. It is best to force handsome men and beautiful women to call themselves Cao Xianguan. Cao Yu walked into the hall at this time and found that his usual seat had been occupied by others. Besides, except for the young man with an unusual physique, the other two Both men and women looked "like humans and dogs", which made Cao Yu furious.He yelled, "Store!"

When the store owner heard the sound, he hurried to Cao Yu and said respectfully, "Master Cao."

Before Cao Yu could speak, a thin middle-aged man next to him asked in a sharp voice: "Shopkeeper, you are not a newbie who has just entered Chang'an. How dare you let others sit in my young master's seat?" , believe it or not, I demolished your shabby shop?"

The people behind Cao Yu immediately responded.

The store owner suffered this unreasonable disaster and felt quite resentful in his heart. After all, Mr. Cao Yucao doesn't come to my store every day. You said that this guy is yours, so I have to keep it for you?Wouldn't that offend other guests? How could this be true?But at this time, he did not dare to act due to Cao Yu's power, so he could only say respectfully: "I didn't know that Mr. Cao would come to visit me today. I deserve death. Let's do this. The cost of Mr. Cao's meal today will be borne by our restaurant. It can also be considered as a little compensation from me to Mr. Cao."

Cao Yu looked at the store owner with a displeased face and said, "Does the store owner think that I can't afford the meal?"

The store owner said helplessly: "Of course that's not what I meant. Then what do you want Mr. Cao to do?"

Cao Yu pointed at the four people and shouted: "Let these four local dogs get out of here!"

Cao Yu was also facing the four people from behind, saying: "Tell them to get lost!"

Zhang Chuchu, Fang Suxiao and Zheng Baiyu also noticed Cao Yu at this time. The three people who were targeted for no reason were all unhappy at this time, but they immediately became happy after seeing Cao Yu's appearance. What about claiming to be an immortal official?Those who didn’t know better thought that he was the reincarnation of a pig spirit and that he was wearing this luxurious clothes for nothing.Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao were fine. They kept their expressions calm due to their self-restraint. Zheng Baiyu, who was usually carefree, couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Cao Yu's face grew colder. He pushed the store owner away, led a group of people to the four of them, and asked, "Where did you come from, local dogs? You dare to even sit in the seat of this immortal official?"

Cao Yufei's domineering attitude made Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao frown slightly, while Zheng Baiyu said displeased: "I wonder which immortal official is so arrogant?"

The middle-aged man next to Cao Yu said: "I don't even know who my young master is. He is indeed a country dog! Listen up, my master is Tai Yucheng Cao Mao. If you are wise, get out of here. Don't force me." Grandpa chases you away."

Zheng Baiyu also had a young master's temper at this time, and said angrily: "It turns out he is Tai Yucheng's son. With such a big battle, people who don't know would think your father is Zhi Jinwu."

The dog leg behind Cao Yu didn't understand official duties and looked puzzled.Although Cao Yu said he was a fool, he could still tell that Zheng Baiyu was sarcastic about him, and said with an angry smile: "I heard you speak so loudly, why is your father Zhi Jinwu?"

Zheng Baiyu chuckled: "It's almost the same, my father is the prefect of Jincheng."

Cao Yu seemed to have heard some big joke, and the two pieces of fat on his cheeks trembled with laughter: "Your father is the prefect of Jincheng? With your poor appearance, who will believe it if you tell me? Why don't you say that your father is Fang Qi?" Buddha? None of the four of them are human-like, the man is poorly dressed, the woman is missing an eyebrow, and she can barely work as a bed-warming maid for this immortal official. How dare you hang out in Chang'an City like this?"

Hearing Cao Yu humiliating Fang Suxiao, Zhang Yue's eyes grew cold, and he quietly held the scabbard of Yugong's sword with his left hand. However, Fang Suxiao didn't care about Cao Yu's dirty words and stretched out her hand to press on his hand. She shook her head at him calmly.

Zhang Chuchu understood what she meant. He and the others had special status and it was not appropriate to cause trouble.Although he was unhappy in his heart, seeing Fang Suxiao's attitude, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

When Cao Yu saw this, he was even more ridiculed: "Not only is he poorly dressed, but he is also a coward who can only hide behind women. Why is it that he has bad teeth and can't eat hard food, but can only eat soft food?"

Zhang Yue and Zheng Baiyu were already furious at this time, but Fang Suxiao, who had been silent until now, spoke first: "I wonder how Mr. Cao wants to make things right today? If Mr. Cao feels that the four of us have taken your place, If you feel unhappy, we can just change the table."

Cao Yu was very satisfied when he saw Fang Su smiling and submissive.At this time, he looked at Fang Suxiao again, and after careful observation, he felt that the girl's appearance was stunning, much taller than the prostitutes he usually played with, and the scars on the girl's eyebrows that were originally a failure actually added a different charm to her.So he had other thoughts in his mind, turned his eyes and said, "Do you want to be kind now? It's a pity that I have no interest in it now. If you want to be kind, you can't just give up your seat."

Fang Suxiao still had a calm face: "What do you think Mr. Cao wants?"

Cao Yu laughed heartily: "The man kneels down and calls me Immortal Officer Cao Immortal Officer. As for you, stay here and pour me the wine yourself. In this way, I, the Immortal Officer, will let you go."

Everyone behind Cao Yu laughed loudly after hearing this. The middle-aged man beside Cao Yu also smiled evilly, and his sharp voice was even harsher: "Actually, my young master likes to drink in bed. This heroine can be convenient for you. inconvenient?"

Everyone's laughter became more wild, Fang Suxiao was also angry at this time, and Zhang Yue even had murderous intentions.

When the three of them made no move, the middle-aged man became a little angry: "What, you don't understand? Kneel down, sir!" After saying that, he slapped Li Jingxiong on the head, who had been silent and concentrated on eating. .

Zhang Chuchu and Zheng Baiyu felt bad when they saw this.

In fact, Li Jingxiong understood what had just happened, but when he saw that Zhang Yue had not expressed his position, he ignored it and concentrated on eating alone. After all, he promised Zheng Baimao that he would finish the food today.At this time, the middle-aged man slapped himself on the head, which completely angered Li Jingxiong. Although he was usually silent and loved to giggle, both Zhang Yue and Zheng Baiyu understood that he was the only one among the three who did not speak. Lord of truth.

Li Jingxiong stopped biting the roast chicken drumstick in his hand and turned to look coldly at the middle-aged man who had just slapped him.

At this time, the middle-aged man felt that the four of them had surrendered to the young master, and he was naturally unscrupulous.So he ignored Li Jingxiong's cold eyes and shouted to Li Jingxiong: "What are you looking at!"

After saying that, he hit Li Jingxiong on the head with his right hand.At this moment, Li Jingxiong suddenly stood up, swung his left fist at a speed that no one expected, and hit the middle-aged man in the face hard.The middle-aged man with a sharp voice was instantly knocked out of the store and fell to the ground. His entire face was sunken and he lost his human appearance. He lay dying on the ground like a dead dog.

Cao Yu and everyone behind him were shocked. They did not expect that this tall young man would rise up to resist in such a violent manner.

Cao Yu instinctively took a few steps back, his face full of anger, and he pointed at the four people with trembling hands and said: "How courageous, how dare you commit crimes in the daytime, not even Fang Qifu can save you today!"

Just when Zhang Yue felt that the matter had become a big deal and he no longer had any worries, he was about to kill this arrogant and domineering second generation ancestor in retaliation for his humiliation of Fang Suxiao, when a figure walked into the fragrance hall.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with slightly white temples and a thick build. Everyone only heard him say.

"Who was calling me by your name just now?"
