Gwangju City has never been quieter. The shouts of vendors, the laughter of children, and the chatter of women disappeared in an instant. Everyone stood on the roadside, their bodies stiff, but their heads could turn, and their eyes followed.
Looking at the people and horses passing by.
The silence was only temporary, and soon there was excitement, running and shouting from all directions.
"Mrs. Wu is back?"
"Is Mrs. Wu back?"
"What are you looking at? Have you seen Mrs. Wu?"
The frozen people nodded slowly, looking into the distance, and said in a hollow voice: "It's Mrs. Wu who has passed."
Sure enough, it was Mrs. Wu. The people who came after hearing the news, especially the vendors, were excited to catch up, but they discovered something strange.
"Why don't you shout?"
"Why don't you follow Mrs. Wu?"
In the past, when Mrs. Wu went out, people on the street would happily shout her name and follow the carriage as loudly as they could, making Mrs. Wu feel their presence.
But at this moment when they heard the inquiry, a woman holding a child hissed at them: "How dare you shout!"
The usually noisy children also nodded quietly with their fingers in their mouths.
Why don't you dare to shout? The vendors were confused, and another old scholar in a robe explained: "I'm afraid of the people in heaven."
After a lot of noise, the people who arrived finally found out that Mrs. Wu was riding a horse and her face was uncovered. Many people saw that she looked like a fairy.
Only then did everyone remember that this was the first time they saw Mrs. Wu's face. She had always covered her face before. Legend has it that she had to cover her face because she was injured and her appearance was ruined.
But no one talked about it. Mrs. Wu had a heart of Buddha, and no one could blaspheme her even if she was as ugly as a ghost.
But what's going on now? Mrs. Wu is not injured. Is Mrs. Wu really as beautiful as a fairy?
There was a lot of discussion on the street, and the ice was melted. What happened just now was too sudden. There were still many people who had not witnessed this scene. They asked in surprise and expressed doubts. More people simply ran to the government office, but there was a group of businessmen.
The horse and cart came first from the government office.
Everyone on the street is familiar with them. These are businessmen who often stand outside Mrs. Wu's door looking for opportunities to make a fortune. They have always wanted to see Mrs. Wu. They should have seen Mrs. Wu at this time. Why did they all run away?
"These things of ours are not considered treasures at all, and we dare not hold them in front of the young lady."
"Only after meeting Mrs. Wu did I understand why so many rare and rare treasures did not please her."
"Because she is a rare treasure."
"The young lady is an immortal. Just look at this gem of mine and it will become dull."
The merchants hid their faces, pulled their horses and carts, and fled in a hurry, as if they could not stay here for a moment.
"Let's go look for rare treasures worthy of Mrs. Wu."
The street became even more noisy. Mrs. Wu had already entered the house and no one could see her. We could only ask the people who were lucky enough to see her. The people who were lucky enough to see her also recovered from the shock. They were all excited and couldn't wait.
Talking about it, the streets and alleys are filled with voices calling for friends in restaurants and tea shops.
Xiang Nan has returned to the inn. Guangzhou Prefecture has not been destroyed and the interior is well preserved. The interior of this inn can isolate the noise from the street and allow guests to have a good sleep. But at this time, the noise from the street rushed in.
"What's going on outside?" Xiang Nan asked as he changed his clothes.
The Xiang family's entourage was waiting around. After hearing this, they sent someone out to ask. As soon as they sent someone out, Chen Erxian ran in from outside and told everyone what happened.
"That Mrs. Wu is back." He curled his lips and said.
The Xiang family's entourage was in a hurry on the road and did not stop to eat or drink and listen to the gossips of passers-by. They were puzzled: "What happened to Mrs. Wu's return? Hasn't she been in Guangzhou Prefecture all the time? What's so strange about coming back?"
"Everyone is very excited to see her. Really, there are people everywhere on the street." Chen Er said, patting his crumpled clothes, "And this time it seems that we have seen Mrs. Wu's true appearance.
.”
The Xiang family's entourage knew about the true appearance and said hurriedly: "It's said that he was injured or sick or something that ruined his appearance and he couldn't reveal his true appearance. He covered his face and hid in the car all day long without seeing anyone."
Chen Erdao: "It seems better now."
Injury? Sickness? Face-covering? Xiang Nan stopped untying his clothes, it sounded familiar...
"It's not an injury." The Xiang family's entourage who went to the street to inquire about the news also came back, beaming, "Mrs. Wu was not injured or sick in the first place, because she is a fairy and cannot be seen by others, otherwise she will
Gonna fly back."
Everyone in the room laughed. Of course they didn't believe this.
"Actually, it's the beauty regimen of wealthy families." Another follower, who was older and well-informed, said, "Some women from wealthy families regard their beauty as white and crystal clear. If they don't see the sun or be blown by the wind, they can achieve the appearance of an immortal."
This is the most reasonable. In the past, many women who traveled in summer also wore power fences to block the sun and hot wind, so as not to damage their appearance.
This time it is said that Mrs. Wu has been out for too long, and her mother-in-law is not in good health. The young lady was too anxious to comb her hair, cover her face with flowers, and wear a robe as she rushed back all the way. She was really pure and filial.
Xiang Nan smiled, Mrs. Wu or the people around her were very powerful, and they would not let go of anything to praise the virtuous ones.
Then the entourage began to describe Mrs. Wu's appearance, which they heard from the street. She has slender eyebrows and white teeth, curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, red lips and white teeth, apricot face and peach cheeks, natural jade, graceful appearance, etc.
All in all, he looks like a fairy.
The people no longer care about what Mrs. Wu looks like, and they only pile up the most gorgeous words. Listening to these, they can't imagine Mrs. Wu's real appearance. But when Xiang Nan listened, a glimpse of the lakeside appeared in front of his eyes. If there was a world in the world.
If anyone can bear these gorgeous words, it's her.
Xiang Nan was shocked again, thinking of the title of the guards at that time, young lady.
"Since Mrs. Wu has returned home, let's go and submit the post again." He interrupted the discussion between his entourage and Chen Er and others.
Chen Er and his entourage were stunned for a moment: "Didn't you already hand it over?"
"When I heard that Mrs. Wu was back, I didn't go and hand her a name card to invite me. It seemed insincere." Xiang Nan said, "We can't wait for her to come and invite me, right? She is my savior. That would be too rude."
Chen Er took the name card and went to the government office again. When he handed it over and saw the officials' surprised expressions, he couldn't help but blush. Even the soldiers in the countryside who were ignorant and ignorant of etiquette came to their senses. This was clearly a sign of trouble.
Isn’t it rude to force others to meet you?!
The young masters from wealthy families are really evil-minded!
When the officials received the post, they felt that this person was rude, but because this person wanted to see Mrs. Wu by name, he must have some background and identity. Although Mrs. Wu was well-known, it was spread far and wide among the people and businessmen, and they wanted to see Mrs. Wu.
Just waiting on the street, I would not think of coming to the government office. Those who came to the government office were all here for the government office, and they did not know that the government office was actually in the hands of Mrs. Wu Shao.
If you come to the government office to submit a post and want to see the young lady, you must have seen something.
He did not dare to neglect and take it to the prefect. The prefect could see the young lady at will, but after seeing this post, the prefect asked him to let it go first.
"There's something going on over there, Madam." The prefect said worriedly, "I heard Jin Jue crying."
The officials in the hall all nodded: "Today, the young lady rode into the city without covering her face."
Some of them were standing outside the government office at that time. When they saw it, they were so surprised that they dropped the documents in their hands. Thinking of the young lady's appearance...
"Young lady is not injured, why do you hide your face to avoid others?" The officials gathered together couldn't help but whisper.
The magistrate twisted his beard and smiled, as if he had already seen through it all: "Young lady, how can you show such an immortal figure to the world at will?"
This kind of appearance can only be kept away from the world, otherwise bad people will be malicious when they see it, and good people will be greedy when they see it.
The officials nodded in understanding, but immediately felt uneasy. They didn't know what important matter caused the young lady to come back in such a hurry, without even bothering to hide her face.
Kumquat is crying, but not with sadness, but with joy.
"Miss." She took Li Minglou's arm, and his sleeves had been rolled up, revealing his smooth white lotus-like arms, "Your injuries are all healed."
She still remembered the scene she saw at that time. The young lady's arm was full of ulcers. Later, the young lady took a bath by herself. Although she was sad and wanted to say that she was not afraid, she was more concerned that the young lady did not want others to see it, so she had always allowed the young lady to wash herself.
, I didn’t expect that the lady was already well.
She raised her head again and looked at Li Minglou's face, which was smooth and white. She recalled the first time Li Minglou returned to Li's house. She hid behind a group of girls and servants and looked at the little girl sitting in the car, like an immortal.
There was no ulcer like in her nightmare.
Li Minglou was also looking at himself, his arms and shoulders. He simply unbuttoned his clothes and looked at his shoulders, neck, chest, thin waist, long legs, and bare feet. They were all in perfect condition.
She knew she was already well and had been well for a long time, but she didn't understand how well she was until now.
Without covering her head and face, she walked home from outside the city under the sunlight. There was still no ulcer on her body, not even a trace of pain.
She can walk openly in the clear sky.
There were footsteps outside the door.
"Miss, everything has been arranged outside." Yuan Ji's voice said, "The place where Xiang Nan lives has been found out and has been surrounded. When will we start?"
