Chapter 58 Stand up for your sister
Earlier that day, Jiang Ben woke up after being drunk, kicked off his other boot, and ate pears barefoot in the hall. After a while, Zong Jun came back.
"Where is Your Highness?" He asked Jiang Ben after searching around.
I just received news that His Majesty Yong Guo has come to Luoyang. I wonder if Jiang He wants to see him.
"Going out," Jiang Ben pointed to the back door, "I asked and said that I brought two guards with me."
He said the names of the two guards smoothly.
There was a hint of surprise in Zong Jun's expression, and he thought that when he was in Yong State, the young master of Qi State did not seem to be as smart and discerning as he is don’t know if it was because I was acting stupid at that time, or because I suddenly grew up and became enlightened.
However, he was busy looking for the person and did not have time to think more about it, so he said: "These two people were bought by the slave. They are loyal and reliable. As long as they go out, news will come back. I will go look for His Highness now. If there are visitors in the house, they will be informed." I hope you can help me entertain."
"Don't worry," Jiang Ben raised his hand, flew a bunch of pear juice, and said with a smile, "I'm at home, you go find your sister quickly."
"Now that this is the case, what kind of visitors will there be?"
Jiang Ben curled his lips and looked at the roof, then at the ground. He felt that this fine house in Luoyang City did not look pleasing to the eye.
My sister is so scary, oh no, how can such a powerful person stoop to this?
He raised his voice and called the maid to bring him lunch. After a delicious meal, he took a nap again.
He slept until it got dark, lights were lit in the yard, and it was bright indoors and outdoors, then Jiang Ben stretched out.
The drunkenness of the early morning had just dissipated. He was about to take a hot bath when he suddenly heard someone making loud noises in front of the screen wall.
"Jiang He! Come out!"
Jiang Ben immediately put his feet up and went out to take a look, without even having time to put on his boots.
Wei Zipei, the princess of Wei State, stood in the courtyard, her long azure dress hanging down to her ankles, with one hand on her hip, pointing inside and yelling curses.
"You are such an ungrateful woman! It's a shame that brother Ji traveled thousands of miles to send you back to Qi, and then rescued you a hundred miles away from Yong. It's okay if you don't repay your kindness, but now you are forcing my brother Wang to die. You actually colluded with the troops of the five countries to destroy our country Wei! If I, Wei Zipei, die today, I will die. If I survive, I will cut you into pieces..."
As she spoke, she walked towards the front hall. Because she was too fast, her fluttering skirt broke into blurry light and shadow behind her.
"I am still drunk."
After watching this scene in stunned silence, Jiang Ben squinted and opened the purple gauze curtain.
"Otherwise, how could anyone in this world dare to scold my sister?"
The servants and guards in the courtyard were all from the Wei State. Because they knew Wei Zipei's identity, they did not dare to step forward to stop whispered to persuade: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please stay."
As expected, Wei Zipei stopped with an "Oops", but instead of being persuaded, he was hit on the forehead by a flying pear.
The autumn pear was overripe but still hard. Wei Zipei couldn't avoid it, screamed and covered the rapidly swollen wound, squatting on the ground unable to get up.
"Jiang He, how dare you!" She burst into tears in pain, crying with shame and anger.
But Yali still fell down from a high position. Although he didn't hit it hard, it still hurt terribly when it landed on his back.
"You should be beaten if you call my sister by her first name." Jiang Ben came out with a basket of pears and threw them on Wei Zipei one by one. "He should be beaten if he breaks into a private house and speaks evil words. If he confuses right and wrong without caring about right and wrong, he should be beaten." He simply dumped a whole basket of pears on Wei Zipei and said coldly, "You don't know how to fight back when you're being beaten. You should be beaten even more."
How dare Wei Zipei fight back.
She was in unbearable pain, and suddenly heard a man's voice. She opened her eyes and saw a pair of feet without boots on the ground, and Jiang Ben's chubby body was shaking in front of her. She was so frightened that she almost fainted.
"Who are you? Come here! Beat him to death!"
His carefully combed hair was messed up, and Wei Zipei sat among a pile of rotten pears, crying so hard that his whole body was shaking.
The guard servants had long since hid in a place where they could pretend to be deaf and mute. Jiang Bi threw the last pear he had chewed on Wei Zipei and said with great interest: "No talent, Jiang Bi, the young master of the State of Qi, whose courtesy name is Zhenji." .”
Wei Zipei was stunned.
She did hear that Prince Jiang Bi of Qi State was visiting with a delegation, but she didn't know that this man was shamelessly living in Jiang He's house, and she didn't expect that she would be beaten as soon as she met him.
Wei Zipei stood up with his hands on the ground, wiped away his tears, and said aggrievedly: "Why do you hit me?"
"Didn't you just say that? If you dare to call my sister's name, I will beat her. If you dare to scold her, I will beat her. Do you know that she has sent military documents and food to resolve the crisis in Wei? Your eldest brother doesn’t have to die, he just has to abdicate; do you know that her father would be worse off dead than alive, and the price your Wei royal family has paid is just to let the crown prince succeed to the throne a few years earlier. My sister has eaten a lot Damn, now that you know this, if you still dare to be arrogant here, I will ask the new king of Wei to marry you back to Qi and fight you every day!"
Wei Zipei took a breath and took a few steps away. His face turned red and white, and he covered his mouth and said, "What did you say?"
"I said," Jiang Ben approached her like a wall and said with a sure chance of victory, "I will marry you back to Qi and beat you every day."
Wei Zipei screamed and turned around and ran out.
Jiang Benwu shouted behind her: "Wei Zipei! If you dare to come here again, I will marry you home and beat you a hundred times a day!"
Wei Zipei ran out of the screen wall and jumped over the door fence, picked up her skirt and rolled into the carriage, her legs weak and her heart trembling with coldness.
"Go, go!"
She urged the coachman, feeling that everything today was nothing more than a nightmare.
But Jiang Ben still didn't return to the momentum was not reduced, because he had slept too much during the day, and now he was even more angry. With a sigh in his chest, he pointed at the door and shouted: "I will stand here today and will not leave. I want to see Wei Wei." Is there anyone in the country who knows etiquette, justice and integrity? I’m here to see who dares to come! Let’s see who dares to enter!"
"Step aside."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman came out from behind the screen Zheng, who was dressed in Xuanqing clothes, raised his head and looked at Jiang Ben impatiently.
Jiang Ben was stunned and covered his mouth.
His eyes were wider than Wei Zipei's, and his mouth was covered tighter than Wei Zipei's.
Perhaps he forgot for a moment that he was no longer the hostage of Qi State, and even more so that he was in Wei State. When his knees weakened, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
"What's going on here?" Jiang He, who had one arm hanging on Zhao Zheng's shoulder and one arm hanging down, looking at the ground, got rid of Zhao Zheng and walked over unsteadily, "My pear."
She picked up one, stood up straight and stamped her feet: "Why did my pear run to the ground? Pears are not good either!"
"Sister, sister..."
The smell of alcohol hitting his face made Jiang Ben shrug his nose and frown. He didn't know whether to pick up the pears or help Jiang He a panic, Zhao Zheng had already stepped forward, picked up Jiang He and walked towards the house.
"My pears, my pears, my pears..."
Jiang He's voice disappeared at the door of the house. Jiang Ben quickly followed in, walked a few steps and then stopped.
"My lord!" he said cautiously towards the house, "just stand in the yard and stand guard!"
Drunk women are unreasonable.
She would point at the lantern and talk about the moon, pull the little girl to call her mother, and inadvertently take away all the salesman's insoles.
The insoles were not expensive, but Zong Jun, who was following Jiang He and Zhao Zheng, was already holding a candy man, a hand drum and a freshly killed hen in his arms.
Having no other choice, Jiang He pointed to someone's chicken that ran out to look for food and wanted to buy it. Zhao Zheng asked him to catch and kill it.
As soon as the chicken was killed, a man who was watching the killing said that the chicken belonged to his family, so Zongjun had to pay money.
There are so many things hanging all over my body that it’s inevitable that I won’t be able to catch up.
So when Zong Jun ran into the house and dropped the chicken, drumming, insoles, and a girl Jiang He bought casually, stuffed the candy man into his mouth, and found Jiang Ben standing in the yard, he was a little confused. No idea.
"Where is Your Highness?" he asked.
"Go in and sleep." Jiang Ben said.
Zongjun was shocked and asked tentatively: "Then, where is Mr. Zhao?"
Mr. Zhao, by the way, you really can't say "Your Majesty - Your Majesty" like him without being able to say it out loud.
"Mr. Zhao," Jiang Ben pointed to the room, "is also asleep."
Zongjun's expression was a bit mixed.
"Then Master Jiang, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I slept a lot during the day," he lowered his head and hugged the pear, and said decisively, "I will guard the door tonight to prevent anyone named Wei from breaking in again."
The drunk woman was indeed a little uglier than usual.
Zhao Zheng put Jiang He on the bed and called the maid.
However, no one answered.
Because of the noise of Jiang Bi beating Wei Zipei in the courtyard, the maid had already hid in the backyard.
Zhao Zheng didn't know about this, and it was inconvenient to go out to look for it, so he simply helped Jiang He take off her shoes and boots, took off her coat, and covered her with a brocade quilt.
The hair accessories on her head also looked a bit heavy. He took off her hairpin, took off the hairpin she stuck between her eyebrows, and smoothed her long hair. Only then did he have time to take a closer look at her face.
Her long black hair made her face extremely white, but her cheeks were a little flushed. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips were fiery red. They opened slightly, revealing half of her porcelain white teeth.
During his stay as a hostage, he saw many beauties in the six countries, but none of them were as stunning as her.
Or there may be someone more beautiful than her, but those who are more beautiful than her are not as smart as her; those who are smarter than her - , there is no one prettier than her.
Of course, although she is good-looking and smart, she is also more irritating.
Zhao Zheng shook his head to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and then stood up to get a glass of water.
Drunk people will be thirsty.
But just as he stood up, he suddenly felt that his arms were slightly heavy, and Jiang He held his hand.
She opened her eyes and looked at him drowsily, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes.
"Daddy," she murmured, "my daughter is useless, I'm sorry for you."
