Episode 8: Cheng Shaoshang fights with the daughter of an aristocratic family
At this time, the female family members of the banquet party came to the table one after another, and the maids served snacks. Before everyone could taste them, Princess Yuchang and Wang Jian exchanged glances, and used the golden jujube as an excuse to mock Sister Cheng Shaoshang for not having seen the world. Know etiquette. The surrounding female relatives noticed that Princess Yuchang was deliberately making things difficult, and sometimes they hid their faces and whispered, making sneer sounds.
Wan Qiqi defended Cheng Shaoshang and scolded Princess Yuchang for being extravagant and demeaning, which was contrary to the family’s behavior. Who would have thought that Wang Jian’s reply to Wan Qiqi’s dress was just a high-sounding statement, and all the losers immediately agreed. Because Wan Qiqi was outspoken and not good at their sophistry, it was difficult to respond for a while.
Cheng Shaoshang couldn’t stand it anymore and criticized the female family members present. He believed that everyone’s current peaceful and peaceful days depended on the emperor’s sage and the dedicated efforts of the soldiers at the front. What’s more, Wan Qiqi has been on the battlefield with her father for more than ten years, and she and her mother are responsible for the relief of fallen soldiers every day, which is no easier than farming by herself. Since Princess Yuchang, as a relative of the emperor, looks down on the families of military officers, it is okay not to eat such banquets.
As Cheng Shaoshang’s words were sonorous, the girl who just made the sarcastic remarks averted her eyes and did not dare to look at her. Wan Qiqi felt extremely happy. Seeing Princess Yuchang’s defeat, Wang Jiao hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and bluntly said that Eleventh Lang would be coming today, but Cheng Shaoshang was not interested at all and even boasted that Eleventh Lang admired her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Eleven Lang had already come in from the door. Only then did Cheng Shaoshang see clearly that the other party was Ling Buyi, whom he had met twice before. After Cheng Shaoshang went out, Ling Buyi was not interested in the banquet at all. Besides, he heard people insulting the generals and their families outside the door, so he turned around and left.
Wan Qiqi and Cheng Shaoshang met very late, and they only knew each other for half a day, but they already had a deep relationship. But when she heard that Cheng Shu was criticizing her behind her back, she angrily took Cheng Shu there to settle the score. In order to avoid getting lost, Cheng Shaoshang walked along the corridor. Suddenly he saw a man in rich clothes standing in front of him. This man was Yuan Shen, and he couldn’t help but quarrel with him.
On the other hand, Xiao Shizi chased He Zhaojun to the garden and expressed that he was ready to give a betrothal gift to the He family. He Zhaojun thought that he and Lou Yao were still engaged, so he refused to agree. However, Lou Yao saw this scene. He Zhaojun was afraid that the two would conflict, so he immediately stopped Lou Yao.
Because of He Zhaojun’s behavior, Lou Yao believed that she was trying to gain a higher position. The quarrel between the two suddenly stopped, all because he saw Cheng Shaoshang not far away, which made He Zhaojun so ashamed that she stamped her feet in anxiety and left in a hurry. Lou Yao came from a well-known family and was well-educated. Even if he wanted to leave, he would first bow to Cheng Shaoshang and say goodbye.
Ling Buyi stood on the high platform and looked at Cheng Shaoshang, involuntarily lost in thought, and then ordered his subordinates to investigate the officials who had traveled between the capital and Shu in recent years. Although it has been many years since the return of Shu, there has been no war, but the recent frequent shipments of ordnance may have had second thoughts, so Ling Buyi knew that he needed to plan as soon as possible to make contingency plans.
When Cheng Shaoshang learned that his cousin had fallen into the water, he followed the sound and rushed to the pond. He accidentally found a horse tripping rope in the grass, so he took the opportunity to cut the rope and rescued Cheng Shu. When faced with the pushing and shoving of Wang Yao and his companions, Cheng Shaoshang struck preemptively and beat Wang Yao until she was unable to fight back. When Lou Yao, Yuan Shen and others appeared, she deliberately punched herself again, causing her eyes to become red and swollen.
In the back room, Wang Jian’s wailing could be heard endlessly. Cheng Shaoshang was not willing to be outdone, leaning on Wan Qiqiu’s arms, seemingly dying. Princess Ruyang called the mistresses of each house to confront her. Wan Qiqiu was determined to defend Bo Yuntian and was dissatisfied with Princess Ruyang for shielding Wang Jian.
The two girls who fought were both in a miserable state, but Cheng Shaoshang was obviously more miserable than Wang Jian. Cheng Shaoshang observed everyone’s expressions and pretended to be pitiful and weak. On the other hand, Wang Jian’s words were rude and her voice was sharp. A normal person could tell the difference at a glance. The two parties were arguing endlessly. Ling Buyi appeared with a horse rope and personally proved that Cheng Shaoshang was innocent and that Cheng Shuo fell into the water deliberately. If the princess cannot deal with it impartially, I will see you at the school captain’s house tomorrow.
Due to Ling Buyi’s tough attitude, Princess Ruyang was unable to punish Cheng Shaoshang, so she decided to minimize the big issue. Originally, Wang Jiao wanted to make a fool of herself, but Cheng Shaoshang immediately pretended to be faint, and the matter was dropped. Lian Fang looked at Cheng Shaoshang that night and was very sad about it. Unexpectedly, Cheng Shaoshang was so proud that he said that Wang Jiao’s injury was in the waist and it would probably take ten and a half months to recover.
Xiao Yuanyi ordered someone to inform Cheng Shaoshang to go to Jiuzhuantang. Cheng Shaoshang shouted that something was wrong and told Lianfang to go find his brother. After arriving at Jiuzui Hall, Cheng Shaoshang still pretended to be weak and was shaking when he knelt down, which made Cheng Shi feel heartbroken. Cheng Shaoshang admitted his mistake on the surface, but he defended himself every word, revealing that it was to protect the reputation of his cousin and the Cheng family.
Just as Xiao Yuanyi was about to implement the family law, Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong arrived in time to intercede. When Cheng Shi saw this, he told them to get out and took Cheng Shaoshang away to avoid punishment. Considering that the matter was not over yet, Cheng Shaoshang decided to run away from home. Unexpectedly, he met Yuan Shen halfway and simply went into the carriage to avoid the wind and cold.
Yuan Shen teased Cheng Shaoshang about how fierce and tough Cheng Shaoshang was, and feared that no one would dare to invite her to the banquet in the future. Cheng Shaoshang disagreed, and finally took the ointment handed over by Yuan Shen and got off the carriage. At this time, the Cheng brothers came out to look for Cheng Shaoshang, indicating that Xiao Yuanyi had changed his mind and just punished her for writing. Cheng Shaoshang couldn’t accept it, so he immediately bid farewell to his brother and went to Wan Qiqi.
