"Little Grandpa, what a coincidence." Wang Dong opened the curtain of the carriage, and a fat face suddenly appeared in sight.

Zhu Jiuci stopped in his tracks and looked at him coldly, "Master Wang is waiting at the alley without hesitation, but is there something wrong?"

"Hey. Wang can't offend a dignified young man. It's just a few words, and he can't say it quickly." Wang Dong frowned pretendingly, and waved his greasy palm.

"My lord, please tell me."

Wang Dong raised his head and laughed, the carriage shook violently and almost fell apart.He stopped laughing suddenly, glared at Zhu Jiuci and said viciously:

"We're the same kind of people! The little prince thinks he's so noble. Saving him is no different from saving a dirty cat on the street. Buying him is no different from buying a dirty cat."

"You can't tell the difference." Zhu Jiuci stepped aside and didn't need to talk too much with vulgar people.

The two strong men shouted and stretched out their thick arms to stop him.Its body is as strong as a mountain, blocking most of the entrance of the alley.

Zhu Jiuci stopped in his tracks, "Master Wang, what is the meaning of this?"

There are few people in the alley at dusk, and a few shouts can be vaguely heard in the distance.

Wang Dong laughed, his greasy belly under the window of the carriage trembled under his belt, he panted heavily, the fat on his face was squeezed together, and the grooves were filled with nauseating fat.

"I, Wang, have reached my present position step by step by my own ability, but the young master has won the title of young master by virtue of his good reincarnation skills. I am willing to lose here today."

"But is the young prince reliable? The unique young prince in the capital, if it wasn't for the great victory of the North and the South in the Northern and Southern Wars, the Holy Admiral bestowed the status of the young prince on you who was not born, otherwise, how do you think you are running rampant in the capital now!"

Wang Dong's fat hands were clutched at the car window, and he leaned out ferociously. The carriage was in danger, "Young master is a congratulatory gift for the victory of the Northern Guo State. If I disagree, it will be against the entire Northern Guo State. I, Wang Dong, Bow down to the country, but when it comes to people, Wang has not lost today."

Zhu Jiuci patiently listened to him. The bird flew across the sky without a trace. He looked at Wang Dong again and said slowly: "You saw the identity of my young master, and I saw an upright person. Just now in the Red Square you There was a commotion, but you can hear Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu's civil and military seven strings?"

Zhu Jiuci raised his fan to fend off the two strong men, and left.

At the end of the day, the brilliant sunset falls, dyeing the whole street golden.

The peach blossom loses its pink color in the setting sun, and its branches are dyed a thick brown red. The elegance of the day is gone, and the peach blossom at dusk is a tough and sharp blade.

Going east after passing the downtown area, Zhu Jiuci walked back to the Duke's Mansion when the sun was setting in the middle of the mountain.

The golden color became deeper and deeper, sinking towards the edge of the night.

Zhu Jiuci saw from afar that Chen Qingyan was standing at the gate of the Duke's Mansion leaning on the date chestnut horse with his arms folded. The shadow under his feet was drawn very long by the setting sun, and it was directly reflected on the stone lion at the gate of the mansion.

Still wearing the eye-catching red dress, black leggings and boots, and straps on his arms, he looked like he was about to fight at any time.

Zhu Jiuci sighed, not intending to conflict with him, he nodded slightly when he walked up to pass by, and stepped on the steps.

"I wish you a long time!" Chen Qingyan called him from behind.

Zhu Jiuci turned around and looked at the people below, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Chen?"

Holding the horsewhip, Chen Qingyan rushed forward, snorting angrily, looked up at the plaque of the Duke's Mansion, frowned, and pulled Zhu Jiuci to jump down the steps.

"You made me wait so long!"

Zhu Jiuci was a little speechless: "It's wrong to say that, I didn't know you were waiting for me?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I waited in front of the Duke's mansion for a whole day, you don't know! From morning sun to sunset, I don't know how many acquaintances in front of the door saw my jokes!"

Zhu Jiuci saw that his tired face did not seem to be fake, and said seriously: "Chen Shizi has something to tell the servant, why bother to wait here."

"You are stupid!"

Zhu Jiuci raised his eyebrows, Chen Qingyan would really pick the point.

"Chen Shizi, please tell me if there is anything to do, I will go back home first." Zhu Jiuci rubbed his temples, the setting sun was a bit dazzling.

Chen Qingyan sneered: "Heh, you are really good at tricks, and now I have seen your despicableness! Today you and I must make a break."

Zhu Jiuci was in a bad mood, and lost his patience when he was yelled at by this kid. He took a step forward and said, "Break it? How do you get it done? You smashed my pavement first, and you accused me of going to the Yamen for no reason. I didn't seek revenge from you. But you are the villain who sued first? You even disturbed the Duke’s wife!"

"You! How dare you mention the Duke's wife!" Chen Qingyan glanced at the Duke's mansion with a guilty conscience, and his momentum suddenly faltered, "You are shameless, how dare you seek foreign help!"

"Didn't you also bring the Yamen into it?"

Chen Qingyan couldn't say no to him, and raised his horsewhip angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, today you and I will make a clean break!"

Zhu Jiuci didn't have a weapon in his hand, he took out a folding fan from his sleeve and twirled it in his hand, if the loss of a folding fan can draw a clear line with this person, it would be worth it.

The long whip was raised high and swung across the yellowed sky, Zhu Jiuci turned his wrist and fanned away.

"I'm sorry!" Chen Qingyan's roar echoed in the empty alley under the setting sun, with great momentum, the long whip was thrown aside alone, stained with dust.

Zhu Jiuci was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of such an ending.

Fenghuo boy Chen Qingyan waited for him in front of the Duke's mansion for a day to apologize.

"It's okay." Zhu Jiuci replied.

Chen Qingyan clenched his fists and looked at him angrily, his fiery red clothes almost burned in the setting sun.He let out a snort, and flew back onto the horse. He sat high on the horse's back and looked down, "You'd better tell Mrs. Duke that I have apologized to his son, and don't bother me anymore!" He disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye.

The horseshoes kicked up the dust, and there was a hazy light smoke in the dusk.

If the Duke's wife is regarded as the most extraordinary woman in Beijing, no one will be different.

In the morning, Mrs. Guo Gong took a knife and killed all the way to the vicinity of the yamen. In the second alley away from the yamen, she directly tied up Chen Qingyan, both men and horses.

Poor little Chen Qingyan was blocked by sharp double knives in a blind alley before he even arrived at the Yamen. No one knew what Mrs. Guo said, but according to eyewitnesses, since Mrs. Guo came out of the alley with a high ponytail, Chen Qingyan led the chestnut horse all the way to the gate of the Duke's Mansion in a desperate manner, and it took a whole day to stop.

Later, the famous talker in Beijing compiled this story into a ditty and it was widely circulated in teahouses. The words of Mrs. Guo's wife also derived more than ten versions. Unfortunately, no one can know exactly what was said that day.No one in Beijing would dare to ask the Duke's wife, and Chen Qingyan himself would never tell. The only ones in the big capital who know about this matter are the sparrows in the sky.

Zhu Jiuci pushed open the door and went in. Anian popped up from behind the banyan tree, ran over with a face of shock, took the wooden box from Zhu Jiuci and said tremblingly, "Why are you back, little lord? I want to stay at Red Square."

Zhu Jiuci glared at him, "How can I not go home every night?"

A Nian looked a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and toes and rubbed against the ground, "But I've already told the Duke. Why don't you go back?"

"Why do you go back? The general must not skin me." Zhu Jiuci dragged himself inside.

Ah Nian said behind him: "But the family didn't prepare your dinner."

Zhu Jiuci looked up at the sky, and was speechless for a moment.

Before he turned around and opened his mouth, Anian jumped up to the banyan tree in fright, and looked at him from a distance among the dense branches.

"Ah Nian come down."

"Little, what's the matter, little father-in-law?"

"Why didn't Ah Nian know martial arts earlier?" Zhu Jiuci asked gnashing his teeth with his hands behind his back.

"You didn't even ask, little prince." Anian hid in the tree, his voice became lower and lower, "Everyone in the Duke's mansion knows martial arts."

"Except for the little grandpa!" Ah Nian put down the last sentence, jumped off from the other side and ran away holding the box in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Jiuci shook his head, but his mind flew to a few days ago when he was standing under the wall of the Red Square with an oiled paper umbrella.

If that day little Ah Nian got up and flew to put the umbrella on the window edge...

Zhu Jiuci shook his head, turned his feet and headed towards the dining room.In order to ensure that no food is wasted, the Duke's Mansion cooks strictly according to the head.If he doesn't report the number, I'm afraid he really has nothing to eat.

The dining room is on the east side of the main hall, and when I turned around the small pavilion, I saw the Duke's wife walking over with something that looked like a mace.

"Hey, why is the baby back?" Mrs. Guo ran two steps forward, "I was bullied in Red Square!"

"No, no, I was about to come back." Zhu Jiuci quickly explained.

The mace swung around in the hands of the Duke's wife, "Little Anian lied about the military situation?"

Zhu Jiuci glanced at the silver mace, and silently lit a candle for Ah Nian in his heart.

"Meal is about to start, what should I do if the child has nothing to eat?" The Duke's wife looked worried and said seriously after thinking for a moment, "Why don't you go back?"

Zhu Jiuci: "?"

"I'll just find something to eat, I'm not too hungry." Zhu Jiuci walked towards the dining room.

The Duke's wife suddenly grabbed the mace and encircled him, the sharp point of the mace was only two points away from Zhu Jiuci's face.

"There is something to eat, there is something to eat!"

The Duke's wife happily took the child to the front yard of the dining room.

In the middle of the yard is a stone mill, where the mule has disappeared, and a pile of white things like a hill is piled on it.

"Mother is very happy to win the flag this morning, the so-called good things come in pairs—" She tilted her head with a smile, and ran to the front with her tall black hair, "I'm going to make a rice cake."

Zhu Jiuci's right eyelid twitched crazily. He glanced weakly at the white lumps on the stone mill, judging by his eyesight that the hardness of this thing was at least ten.

"It seems a bit hard?" Zhu Jiuci suggested as softly as possible.

"There is a little bit." The mace fell, and there was a crisp sound of iron and stone colliding in the courtyard.

The two crows at the back of the dining room were startled, and they flew across the sky.

"But don't be afraid, baby, just use a little more strength. I promise you won't be hungry tonight." Mrs. Guo extended her hand lovingly to stroke his head.

"Mother, I'm really not hungry."

"That's not going to work, the rules in our house are not to waste food."
