The fairy is very fierce

Hibernation Awakening.

The lightning was like a chaotic python, shattering the dark clouds and turning the earth into a river.

In the midst of the thunderstorm, a black oil-paper umbrella floated past the water gate of the capital's riverside lane with the boat.

On both banks of the river, the wind and rain in the city stirred up three thousand willows.

Zuo Lingquan stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the uneven buildings in the capital. He felt that the scene in front of him was very similar to the Painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival in his memory.

After coming to this world for seventeen years, his memories of the past were already blurry, but Zuo Lingquan could confirm that this was not the world where only scholars were romantic.

This was Donghua City, the capital of the Great Pill Dynasty.

Seventeen years ago, Zuo Lingquan was born in Qinghe County of the Great Pill Dynasty. He was the legitimate son of the local landlord, the Zuo family. He was very wealthy and had thousands of hectares of fertile land. He was very lucky to be born into a good family.

When he first came here, Zuo Lingquan thought that he could be the silly son of a landlord in this life, living comfortably and indulging in sensual pleasures, but when he was learning to walk, he found that this world was a little different.

The people here were very powerful. The best ones could fly into the sky and move mountains and seas. The animals were also extraordinary. The strange stories of foxes repaying kindness and monsters transforming were widely circulated.

Although Zuo Lingquan had never seen such strange people in his life, he could still get a glimpse of the mystery and vastness of this world from the words and phrases in the ancient books.

Having lived two lives, how could Zuo Lingquan not want to soar 90,000 miles to the top of the mountain to see what the world was like?

Unfortunately, even though he had tens of thousands of wealth, he was born with blocked meridians and became an ordinary person in this unusual world.

This time in the capital, it was because of his outstanding appearance that he was chosen to be the emperor's son-in-law.

Born into the earth, there was no need to worry, the Great Dao was in front of him but there was no door to enter.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

As he thought about it, the boat docked by the street.

Zuo Lingquan collected his thoughts, flicked his fingers, threw a silver ingot to the boatman, and stepped onto the bluestone street of the riverside.

The boatman caught the silver ingot and was flattered.

"Young Master, you gave me too much."

"This is for you."

Zuo Lingquan waved his hand casually and walked straight into the rain.

The boatman held the silver ingot in his hand, his eyes filled with gratitude. Just as he was about to push the boat away from the river bank, he suddenly heard the sound of splashing water from the river bank, followed by the woman's scream.

He looked up and saw a little woman in a dress with a pearl hairpin standing at the entrance of a wine shop by the street. She was holding a wooden basin in her hand and her eyes were filled with fear.

The street was filled with mist. Zuo Lingquan, who had just taken a few steps, stood in the mist in a daze.

The boatman's eyes were stunned. He didn't expect this young master to be less than three steps handsome. He was afraid that there would be a conflict between the two sides, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Shopkeeper Tang, Young Master Ren just arrived in the capital and you splashed him with bathwater. You wanted to greet him because he was handsome, but you didn't hit him like that."

As soon as he said that, the guests in the tea house and wine house burst into laughter.

Zuo Lingquan raised his umbrella to cover his head and turned to look at the tavern.

A yellow wine banner hung in the tavern, with only the word 'soup' written on it.

A small woman holding a wooden basin stood under the eaves. She wore a simple and clean dress with a pearl hairpin. Her clothes were bulging, and her face was as white as tofu. Coupled with her eyes that were wide open in fear, she added a different kind of charm.

However, the little woman seemed to be quite fierce. When she heard the boatman's teasing, she immediately glared back.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see that I was careless?"

With that, the little woman looked at Zuo Lingquan apologetically."

"Young Master, I'm really sorry. The rain is so heavy, I thought there was no one on the street. This is boiling water for brewing wine, not bathwater."

Boiled water?

It was better than bathwater.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the white mist all over the ground and wanted to scold her. Seeing that the other party was a woman, he thought about it and said,

"Be more careful next time. If you splash it on ordinary women and children, they will be disfigured on the spot."

"Young Master is right."

The young woman nodded awkwardly and looked up. She saw the young master in front of her. He was wearing a green robe with a Pisces pendant hanging on his belt. His long hair was tied up with a black headband. He had sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge. His face was upright and strong. There was also a green scabbard sword hanging at his waist. He looked so handsome that he could bring disaster to the country and the people.

However, when he moved the umbrella to block the water, his face and brocade robe were stained with raindrops.

The young woman blinked her eyes. She was embarrassed to have made such a handsome young master drenched. She said,

"Young Master, why don't you come into the shop and I'll get you a towel to wipe your face?"

Zuo Lingquan came over from a long journey and had yet to eat lunch. When he saw the fragrance of wine in the shop, he did not refuse. He put away his umbrella under the eaves and walked into the Tang family's wine shop.

The tavern wasn't big. There were four small tables, and in the corner was a wine vat and a stove to warm the wine.

There were already two guests sitting at the inner table. They were wearing black fish-scale armor and had a saber by their sides. One was old and the other was young. They seemed to be the patrol officers of Linhe Square.

Zuo Lingquan entered the tavern and sat down at the table by the window. The little woman quickly ran into the backyard to find a towel.

The old constable at the neighboring table said,

" Jingjiu, you have to change your hot-tempered personality in the future. It's all thanks to the young master's good temper today. Otherwise, if you had to compensate for this Yun Zhongjin robe, you would have wasted your efforts for the first half of the year."

The little woman named Tang Jingyu walked out with a white towel and said unhappily,

"The young master is gentle and refined, well-educated and reasonable. One look and you can tell that he's a reasonable scholar. Do you think he's like you, an old fart? Right, Young Master?"

Zuo Lingquan politely responded to this flattery,"

"Auntie, you flatter me."

Auntie?

Tang Jinghao's bright smile froze. She pursed her lips, obviously wanting to scold him, but in the end, she held back and said with slight dissatisfaction,

"Young Master, I'm not married yet, how can I call you Aunt? You can call me Sister Tang. If you don't want to call me Sister, you can also call me Little Yan."

Zuo Lingquan was slightly surprised. Looking at the appearance of the little woman in front of him, she was so familiar that water seemed to drip out. She was definitely not a small person in this world.

However, it was a woman's family matter, so Zuo Lingquan did not ask too much. He changed his words and said,"

"Lady Boss, what do you have to eat?"

With a smile on her face, Tang Jinghao quickly introduced the dishes that went with the wine in the tavern.

Seeing that there was nothing else, the old constable finished the wine in his cup, placed five coins on the table, and walked out with the young constable.

When Tang Jinghao saw this, she turned around and greeted,

"Old Zhang, you're not drinking anymore?"

The old constable walked out of the tavern with the yellowed saber in his scabbard and waved his hand.

"Forget it. I've been drinking here for more than ten years, but I haven't even let you touch my hand, let alone my butt. You're not doing a good job."

When Tang Jinghao heard this nonsense, she did not feel embarrassed at all. She retorted on the spot,

" Bah! This isn't a brothel. If I want to touch you, go to the alley in front. I'm afraid you're too old…"

When she said this, she realized that Zuo Lingquan was sitting in front of her. Tang Jingxi quickly put away her harsh words and smiled shyly.

" Old Zhang is a patrol officer of Linhe District. He's a good person and has great abilities. It's just that he has a big mouth. Young Master, please don't mind."

Zuo Lingquan found it interesting and did not mind.

A moment later, Tang Jingxi brought a pot of wine and two dishes and placed them on the table.

Zuo Lingquan had just picked up his chopsticks when another boat docked at the dock outside the tavern.

This time, it was a big ship, and the deck was filled with maids and servants.

As the footboard was lowered, more than ten young masters in their prime came down from it. They were all dressed luxuriously. Among them, there were a few with phoenix eyes and eyebrows. They were male and female, and they attracted a lot of attention.

There were no other customers in the tavern. Tang Jinghao stood at the door and watched the commotion. When she saw these foreign young masters, she said,

"The ships of the four southern counties, these young masters are all here to fight for the Eldest Princess 'embroidered ball, right?"

The four counties in the south were the granaries of the Great Pill Dynasty. Zuo Lingquan came from Qinghe County, one of the four counties, and should have taken this official ship to enter the capital. He glanced outside the window and nodded.

"Yes, we should have arrived a few days ago, but the river was flooded due to the heavy rain, so we were delayed for a few days."

"Oh?"

Seeing Zuo Lingquan's understanding, Tang Jinghao thought of something. She turned around and sat at the table next to her. She propped her chin with her hand and asked curiously,

" The day after tomorrow, the Eldest Princess will be choosing her son-in-law. All the young masters of the appropriate age have been called to the capital. I see that the young master's temperament is not ordinary. Could it be that he has also come for this?"

Zuo Lingquan was ordered by his elders to come for this matter.

However, he was rich. Even if he could not travel thousands of miles in this life, it would be easy for him to indulge in wine and women. Why would he be interested in the Fuma who could not take concubines?

Zuo Lingquan hesitated for a moment before responding ambiguously,"

"I came here alone without even bringing a follower. It looks like I'm here to compete for the son-in-law?"

Tang Jingxi looked at Zuo Lingquan seriously, not knowing if it was a compliment.

" Then, Your Highness is not lucky. If Young Master were to arrive the day after tomorrow, there would be no need for those people outside. The Princess would definitely choose you."

“……”

Zuo Lingquan put down his wine bowl and looked at Tang Jingxi."

"Why?"

Tang Jinghao pursed her lips and chuckled. She pointed at the group of refined young masters outside.

" I still have a good eye. Look at those young masters. They're refined and refined, and they even need the help of maids to get into the carriage. They're even more precious than young ladies. They don't have any manliness at all. If I had to choose a husband, I definitely wouldn't choose them."

Zuo Lingquan didn't take the big boat with those people because he couldn't stand those sissy boys. When he heard Tang Jingyu say that, he smiled and teased,"

"If Big Sister Tang were to choose a husband, would she choose someone like me?"

？？

Tang Jinghao's smile froze. Only then did she realize that she had been tricked. Faced with the sudden teasing, she did not show any disgust. She just stood up and walked to the backyard. She snorted lightly and said,

"Young Master is still young, but you have a lot of thoughts. I have misjudged you just now."

Zuo Lingquan smiled and continued to eat.

The rain outside the window was crackling. Tang Jinghao returned to the back room to prepare wine and dishes without saying anything else.

However, before the wine in the pot was finished, a loud noise suddenly came from outside. It was like the sound of a house collapsing, which was extremely eye-catching in the rain.

Boom!

Tang Jinghao was so shocked that she trembled and almost cut her finger. She quickly ran out from behind the curtain.

"What's wrong? Whose family is in trouble…eh?"

The tavern was empty. Zuo Lingquan, who had just taken his seat, had already jumped out of the window. Only his back could be seen.

Before he left, he did not forget to put an official note on the table. It was worth a hundred taels.

Tang Jinghao's eyes lit up. She hurriedly put the silver notes into her collar and then leaned out of the window to ask if she still had change.

The scene that she did not expect to see made the charming little woman's face turn pale…
