I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

The new year is approaching, and the people in the whole alley are bustling with activity these days.

Qin Zhao can't stay idle in the mansion, and often goes out for a walk. Red lanterns have been hung in front of every house outside, and a few children can often be seen setting off firecrackers together.

After getting along for a while, those children have already become familiar with Qin Zhao. After all, no child would refuse this "Master Qin" who can play with them and often bring them snacks.

Qin Zhao stuffed them with a handful of candies this time, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Shaochu looking at her from a distance.

Wang Shaochu is the son of the magistrate. Qin Zhao met him a few days ago. The two of them fought off the rascals together in the teahouse. Although both of them failed, they did win the fight. Since then, Wang Shaochu has often come to ask her to come with her go out and play.

Qin Zhao refused several times for no other reason. Wang Shaochu is the son of the local magistrate, so if he knew her identity and approached her on purpose, it would not be a troublesome matter after all.

She wasn't afraid that the other party would plot against her, after all, she was only wearing the name of the Supreme Emperor, and she didn't have any so-called imperial power at all, but she was always on guard against the other party, and her life was not comfortable after all.

But later she asked what Gu Junran meant, and what Gu Junran meant was that it is good for her to be cautious, but there is no need to worry that others will plot against her. After all, if the other party has the guts, then they must be prepared to lose their heads in advance. , let her not worry.

Qin Zhao thinks so too. With her identity here, even if she has to be afraid, it should be feared by others.

But after getting along with Wang Shaochu a lot, she realized that this guy is just a fool, and there are not so many twists and turns in his mind.

"Brother Qin, you are really enjoying your life!" Wang Shaochu walked over with a smile.

Qin Zhao smiled: "Why?"

Wang Shaochu spoke to Qin Zhao in a tone full of envy: "Oh, if I become a family like you, I can live on my own. My father is so stubborn that he insists on letting me go out to live by myself. If I stay at home, do I really think I am a child?"

Qin Zhao squinted his eyes and shook his head with a slight smile, "My lord is also doing it for your own good. It must be to supervise your studies. Next spring will be the scientific examination."

"Speaking of this, I'm so angry. The lady of my family, relying on my father to favor her, even yelled for someone to tie me up and read a book. Tell me, is there such a lady in the world like her!"

He said with an expression of reluctance, and the folding fan in his hand slapped against the palm of his hand. After thinking about it for a while, he felt unwilling again, so he dragged Qin Zhao to Tingyulou for a drink.

Qin Zhao didn't want to go at first, but Gu Junran went out early this morning, so she simply got some free time, and it's okay to go to the Yulou for a drink and listen to music.

After all, Tingyulou is not a brothel, but a serious restaurant.

Today the private room was full of people, she followed Wang Shaochu and sat down in the lobby. There was a table set up in the front of the lobby, and there was a girl holding a pipa and half covering her face, singing melodious lyrics.

The food and wine were served soon, Wang Shaochu might be bored, so he clinked glasses with Qin Zhao one after another.

The more he thought about it, the more he became unwilling: "Let me tell you, brother Qin, what kind of temper is my wife, she is a tigress, Hedong lion! She is in charge of the money in the account, and every time I go to the account room to ask for money, the housekeeper says let me go." I went to look for her first, she nodded before giving it to me, but can she nod?"

Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Your wife, do you even care about this?"

Wang Shaochu nodded desperately, the wine was already on his head, his face was flushed from suffocation: "Yes, yes, why should we let her manage the money of our old Wang's family?"

Qin Zhao thought for a while, and suddenly felt that Gu Junran treated her very well, at least he had never been so strict about the use of money.

"And..." Wang Shaochu slapped the table: "She's going to start a family law every now and then! Did you see that, she was beaten by someone!"

Qin Zhao shrank his neck, Gu Junran also threatened her once in terms of family law.But it was also thunder and rain, she put on a show, pretending to be scared to death, Gu Junran naturally went down the steps, she didn't believe that Gu Junran really wanted to beat her, it was just a show.

In this way, two people can maintain a good balance when getting along, and if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it will become fun instead.

In such a comparison, Qin Zhao is much luckier than Wang Shaochu.

Today the wine was a bit strong, Qin Zhao could not drink enough, and he became dizzy after a while.

Qin Zhao asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? What should I do..." Wang Shaochu muttered, "What else can I do? When my father was just a poor scholar before he became a magistrate, the two families got married. She also saved my life when I was young. , I am grateful to her, so I won't look down on her when I become a magistrate, right? Then who have I become? "

Qin Zhao nodded: "Then you are pretty good."

Wang Shaochu smiled and continued to drink sullenly.

He paused, and then said: "I really don't like her domineering appearance. She hits and scolds whenever she says, why should I treat her well? Why must I let her go? I just Do you have to let her follow her in everything?"

Qin Zhao opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Wang Shaochu was obviously more drunk, his eyes were red.There seemed to be a commotion at the next table because of something, Qin Zhao turned his head and looked over.

It was a woman who came to the door to arrest her husband.

The man at the next table was listening to the music, but when he saw his wife approaching him, he panicked and wanted to get under the table.

However, she was grabbed by the ear by the woman. The woman was very powerful, she cursed the heartbroken man, picked him up by the ear, and the man was pulled so hard that he screamed.

Qin Zhao didn't intend to be nosy, but unexpectedly Wang Shaochu stood up unsteadily, Qin Zhao raised his arm, but didn't hold it back.

I saw him go directly to the arm table, then raised his fist, and punched the man in the face.

His punch stunned both the man and his wife.

Wang Shaochu cursed viciously: "You trash, you seem to be capable, how can you let the little girl handle it?"

The man was stupefied by the beating, his wife was the first to react, and stopped pulling her husband's ears, and directly pushed Wang Shaochu: "What are you going to do? This is! You are not allowed to leave today, I have to report to the police and arrest you Go to the yamen!"

Qin Zhao immediately stood up, went to Wang Shaochu, grabbed his arm, and did not forget to apologize: "I'm sorry, this guy is drunk, don't take offense, I'll pay for the doctor's medical expenses."

She spoke in a good manner, and at the same time took out five taels of silver and put it on the table.

The woman seemed to agree, and she didn't plan to pursue it after collecting the money.

Wang Shaochu was already very drunk, he only had one string in his mind, and he couldn't understand what the woman was saying at all, he just punched the man in the face: "I'll kill you trash!"

Qin Zhao immediately pulled the man out of the restaurant.

She raised her hand to stop a passing ox cart with a pile of firewood pulled on it, and gave the driver money to take him to the government office.

Qin Zhao finally understood that Wang Shaochu was being manipulated by her wife, and then he was angry in his stomach, and he didn't dare to vent his anger with her wife, so he couldn't see others being manipulated.

It's no wonder that Wang Shaochu always said that when facing her wife, she should be stronger, and she couldn't listen to her in everything, otherwise she would not look like a husband, but like a servant who served her.

However, Qin Zhao didn't feel that she was like a servant in front of Gu Junran, it was just a tacit relationship between her and Gu Junran.

Emotional things, such as people drinking water, know how warm or cold they are.

Wang Shaochu can't make everyone empathize with him just because he himself is unhappy, right?

So when Wang Shaochu said this to her, she only said such things that she didn't like to hear, so Wang Shaochu didn't dare to say any more. Who would have thought that this person would be so drunk today, and let her follow the aftermath to pay the money? ...

Therefore, people should not be too depressed at ordinary times. If you are depressed for a long time, you will easily vent.

It is also impossible.

However, comparing the two, she cherished Gu Junran, a smart and arrogant girl, even more.

She doesn't know how Gu Junran treats others, but Gu Junran always treats her with careful thoughts written on his face. If he is happy, he is happy, and if he is unhappy, he is not happy.

She likes getting along like this very much, it's just right, not too much, and not too greasy.

Qin Zhao didn't bother to think about Wang Shaochu anymore, and planned to go back to the mansion.

As soon as he turned around, he happened to see Gu Junran standing not far in front.

Qin Zhao thought that he drank too much wine, which caused his eyesight to blur, and anyone he saw could be regarded as Gu Junran.

However, the pretty girl not far away beckoned to her from a distance, beckoning her to go over.

Only then did Qin Zhao confirm that the girl in the distance was indeed Gu Junran.

Gu Junran was still wearing a black women's dress, both sides of the wrists were tightly wrapped by the wrists, and he was wearing thick-soled boots, and he was dressed in a heroic manner.

Because of the alcohol, Qin Zhao felt a little dizzy in his head, and walked frivolously and unsteadily.

Walking up to Gu Junran, she pulled Gu Junran's hand with a smile: "Are you back?"

Gu Junran sniffed lightly, smelled the alcohol on her body, and asked her, "Did you drink a lot?"

Qin Zhao shook his head and nodded: "Huh? Well, but not a lot."

Gu Junran nodded her head lightly with his index finger, and said softly, "Is it because the wine in the house is not good? You have to come out to drink, a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, what if something happens?"

Qin Zhao felt warm in his heart, then looked at her soft eyelashes, then lowered his head in embarrassment, and said, "Got it..."

Gu Junran seemed to sigh slightly.

Qin Zhao thought she was upset, so he immediately raised his head and said in a muffled voice, "I know, I really know."

Gu Junran seemed to chuckle lightly, touched her face, and said warmly, "I didn't let you go out to play, at least bring a few people with you, so I won't worry..."
