Chapter 240 Eating melons on the road
When Lin Yunzhi heard Tian Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts, he realized that Mo Wangshu was the one Tian Xiaoxiao had chosen.
But this made her feel relieved, as there was a fairy beast to keep an eye on her, and her second daughter-in-law was a good choice.
Tian Lele then took a closer look at Mo Wangshu: her fair and rosy face showed that she was a healthy woman, and her every move was very generous, not like a girl from a small place.
Deng Hongyu looked at this girl who might become her sister-in-law and liked her very much because of her gracefulness.
Tian Xiwen looked at Tian Xiwu's reaction and thought, finally someone can calm the second brother down.
The group finally set out on the journey to Huadu.
Nangong Rui took Ma Xiaonao riding horses, and Tian Xiwen and Tian Xiwu rode horses with them.
The female members of the family sat in two carriages, and there was another carriage to accommodate Nangong Hui.
Mo Wangshu, Tian Xiaoxiao, Tian Lele and Ade were in the same car.
Tian Xiaoxiao held Daju and chatted with Mo Wangshu.
The more they talked, the more frightened they became.
Tian Xiaoxiao was shocked by Mo Wangshu's thoughts that were ahead of their time, and Mo Wangshu was shocked by the profound knowledge of Tian Xiaoxiao, a young lady from an official family who never left the house.
Daju was listening on the side, muttering: [With a four-year-old body and a several-decade-old soul, how can he not be knowledgeable? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why, I have a friend who I can talk to, but he ignored you. Are you jealous? ]
Mo Wangshu lowered his head and covered his mouth.
She finally heard the legendary voice of the melon eater. It was worth the trip. It was worth the trip!
Daju: [Have you forgotten your mission? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What other tasks do I have? Who assigned me the tasks? ]
Daju: [The mission is to eat melons! Don’t you want to cultivate anymore? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If you didn’t eat melons with me, I would have thought there would be no melons to eat. ]
Daju: [We are passing through Yucheng on this trip. Shall we stay there for the night? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why are you staying overnight? ]
Daju: [Shouldn't we try the melons of the Yucheng County Magistrate? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are there any big melons? I feel tired of eating the melons from ancient times. They are always the same.]
Daju: [This time it’s definitely different. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I believe you are a ghost.]
Daju: [Trust me, there is nothing wrong with it, but your cultivation level will increase. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [By the way, how are the souls in my mother's soul-falling lanterns recovering? ]
Daju: [Your mind is jumping, why did you think of this? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [After they recover, shouldn't we release them back into the forest?]
Daju: [Only a fool would be willing to leave the Soul-Falling Lamp. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Like this. What will happen if someone goes in? ]
Daju: [You go and try it. ]
Daju seemed really angry. Ever since Mo Wangshu appeared, Tian Xiaoxiao didn't even eat the melon.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [There's something wrong with you. Did you eat firecrackers today? ]
Daju: [Who told you to just chat and not eat the melon? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Come and eat, or I will be crowned the melon god in vain.]
Daju: [It is said that when Xu Daming, the magistrate of Yucheng County, was judging a case one day, he farted loudly in the court.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Loud farts don’t stink, and stinky farts don’t make loud farts.]
Daju: [He then muttered the word "shuangli" to himself, but the yamen runners mistook it for "rewarding officials"]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It seems that Xu Daming's speech is not clear! ]
Daju: [When the yamen runners heard Xu Daming say "reward the officials", they all knelt down in the court and cheered loudly: "Thank you, Lord Xu, for your grace! How much gold do you want as a reward?"]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Xu Daming certainly can't afford to give so much money as a reward to the yamen runners.]
Daju: [Indeed, he is rich but he is a miser and a henpecked husband. All the money is in the hands of his wife.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [And then? ]
Daju: [Then, the yamen runners were awarded ten strokes of the cane, and the Yucheng County Yamen was closed for half a month.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What should I do if there is an urgent case? ]
Daju: [Just hold them back. After all, the bailiffs are injured and can't work. We can't let Xu Daming go and arrest them, right? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No one has ever reported such an official? ]
Daju: [The emperor is far away, is it useful to take ginseng? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay! The people’s voices cannot be heard outside of Yucheng, so it’s useless to report.]
Daju: [During the half-month holiday, Xu Daming did not leave Yucheng. He stayed at home, hanging out with his concubines.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why do all the men here have concubines? ]
Daju: [I don’t know, but we don’t have it there.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Many men in our place have concubines, but they are not called concubines, they are called mistresses! ]
Mo Wangshu was very excited while eating the melon, but she also knew the upbringing of the melon-eating crowd, which was to eat the melon without pointing out the secrets.
Daju: [While hanging out, something happened. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What's the matter?]
Daju: [Xu Daming's favorite fifth concubine heard from others that the top performer in Hongxiufang, the largest brothel in Yucheng, dances very well.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [So do they go to the brothel to watch dancing or invite the dancers to their home?]
Daju: [He must be going to a brothel! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Aren’t women not allowed to enter brothels?]
Daju: [Xu Daming is the local emperor of Yucheng. No one can stop him from going to a place.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are there any melons to eat in the brothel? ]
Daju: [The top performer is unwilling to dance for a group of women and is stuck in the brothel. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Xu Daming took all his concubines with him? ]
Daju: [Except for the principal wife who stayed at home to look after the money and the children, all the other female relatives were taken away.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How could he be willing to spend money to watch dancing in a brothel if he is so stingy?]
Daju: [That’s why the top performer refuses to dance. It’s all for the money. If there’s no money to be made, who would be willing to dance?]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn't Hongxiufang afraid that Xu Daming will ban them and stop them from doing business?]
Daju: [Don't be afraid. Wang Mao is her backer.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh, doesn't Xu Daming know about this? ]
Daju: [If you haven’t found a clear path, you definitely won’t know. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is Xu Daming lustful and has his eyes on the top girl? ]
Daju: [That’s right. I took a fancy to her and used force on her.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wow, that's amazing! No, what about his concubines? Don't they know about this?]
Daju: [Just listen to me! The concubines are accomplices! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god, my worldview has been shattered! ]
Daju: [The madam of Hongxiufang was beaten half to death by Xu Daming's men.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wang Maocai doesn't know about this? ]
Daju: [I was just about to say that! The situation has taken a turn. Wang Maocai came to Yucheng, but he did not meet the top pick again. Instead, he brought the top pick directly to Xu Daming's house.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [In other words, Xu Daming's background is more powerful than Wang Maocai's? ]
Daju: [That’s right! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wang Maocai’s background is King Yu, but Xu Daming’s background is even more powerful than his? ]
Daju: [Xu Daming is the prince's man.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Tsk tsk tsk, there are also termites on Nangong Rui's side! ]
Nangong Rui, who was riding a horse beside Tian Xiaoxiao's carriage, was furious. He decided to kill Xu Daming when they arrived in Yucheng.
This scourge! It would be too easy for him to be put to death by slow slicing.
Daju: [They are everywhere. It is impossible for Nangong Rui to keep an eye on his people all the time! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Xu Daming is probably finished. Nangong Rui has arrived in Yucheng, and this matter will definitely be exposed.]
Daju: [I can’t get it out! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why?]
Daju: [The top performer was killed and his body couldn't be found! ]
