If you don't go to the house, you are not a gentleman

When the sharp needle pierced the Xue family's second young master's left eye, An Le's hand trembled and knocked over the tea that the county magistrate was holding in his hand.The tea was splashed on the ground mixed with blood.

Second Young Master Xue clutched his left eye and fell to the ground, but the sharp needle was still deeply stuck in his left eye.

Seeing that the dancer drew out three more sharp needles, An Le hurriedly grabbed the dancer's hand and said in disbelief, "Are you crazy!"

The dancer gave An Le a cold look.

An Le felt that the dancer's hand was struggling to break free, and even bent her fingers and pierced a sharp needle into his wrist.

An Le frowned, sighed, and heard a "click", and the dancer's hand bones were crushed by An Le.

The dancer groaned and frowned.

An Le saw the sharp needle fall to the ground before he let go.He pulled out the needle that was stuck in his hand, and said to the dancer, "Where's your maid?"

The dancer turned her face away.

An Le raised her eyebrows, and turned to look at Xue Ershao's injury.

The needle pierced into the left eye, already hurting the pupil.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity for such a good skin." An Le opened Second Young Master Xue's left eye, and said with great regret, "I said Second Young Master Xue, please be sorry, your left eye is useless."

Second Young Master Xue shook off An Le's hand, "Listen to your nonsense!"

An Le said coldly: "What I said is true, even if it is a ghost doctor, I am afraid it will not be able to save it."

Second Young Master Xue choked.

"However, what kind of enmity do you have with him, Wu Ji?" An Le looked at Wu Ji with a half smile, and Wu Ji stood up staggeringly while holding the other hand with her good hand.

Xue Ershao said angrily: "I don't know what hatred she has!"

At this time, the shopkeeper of this store also came, he was shy, but he was terrified when he saw this scene, he hurried to help Xue Ershao, and said in horror: "Xue Ershao! How can you suffer?" The injury! Hurry up, send Xue Ershao back to the Xue residence!"

Second Young Master Xue threw it away, "What's the answer!" He casually picked up the plate on the table and threw it at An Le's face.

An Le was stunned for a moment.

And the county magistrate who had been watching the show suddenly stood up and took the plate with two fingers.

The county magistrate looked at Second Young Master Xue coldly: "Enough trouble?"

An Le looked at the county magistrate standing in front of him, and winked at Er Shao Xue.

The left half of Xue Er Shao's face was almost red with blood, while the right half of his face was distorted because of anger. The two mistresses tremblingly grabbed Xue Er Shao and took him outside.

Xue Er Shao was taken out cursing, a slender man outside the door took Xue Er Shao, thanked the two young men, and the two were quickly overwhelmed by the crowd.

An Le secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but the county magistrate squinted and said, "It's causing trouble for me again."

An Le pouted.

The county magistrate looked at the dancer: "What about this one now?"

An Le said wearily: "What else can I do, of course it is to send the boat back to Guhu Lake."

The county magistrate sneered, "I'm afraid this beauty won't live for three days after being sent back."

An Le was startled: "Why?"

"The Xue family is favored by the emperor. The eldest lady of the Xue family will soon enter the palace and be favored alone in the palace. Now is the time when the Xue family is proud, but the second young master Xue has been stabbed in the left eye. Master Xue is sure. The man who stabbed and blinded his youngest son will not be spared."

An Le looked at the dancer and pursed her lips.

After being silent for a long while, An Le opened her mouth, but before she uttered a word, the county magistrate said indifferently: "Don't tell me that you want to protect her, my house can't accommodate so many cats and dogs."

An Le clicked his tongue.

"Can my lord have the heart to watch such a beauty suffer?"

The adult stared at An Le, and slowly said two words: "Be patient."

An Le supported the dancer girl, and sighed, "My lord really doesn't understand how to pity and cherish jade."

The magistrate tossed Xiao Er a coin, and said coldly to An Le, "I'm not as promiscuous as you."

Along the way, the county magistrate followed An Le, watching An Le cover up as a dancer to avoid being discovered by passers-by.

After getting into the carriage, the county magistrate asked, "Where are you going to hide this beauty?"

An Le said: "My lord is joking, I don't have so much money to build a gold house."

The magistrate snorted.

An Le said again: "I'm going to hand her over to the ghost doctor."

"Doctor?"

"Her wrist is broken. Although I didn't break her tendons, I don't know how to fix the bones. Let the ghost doctor do it."

The county magistrate looked at the dancer silently. Although half of her face was covered by the veil, she could still see the beauty of this beauty from the exposed skin and the charming corners of her eyes.

The dance girl seemed to feel the magistrate's gaze, she raised her eyes, and gave the magistrate a cold look.

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the dancer dumb?"

An Le was taken aback.

"Why did your lord say that?"

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Any guess."

The dancer turned her eyes away, and An Le didn't plan to answer any more.

The groom swung his whip, and the carriage was very unstable because of the potholes on the road.

The county magistrate closed his eyes and meditated.

An Le was bored playing with the decorations on the dancer's clothes, he liked the crisp sound of jingling.

Gradually, An Le heard a slight "dong dong" sound from the carriage.

An Le lifted the curtain, and then said to the county magistrate, "My lord, it's raining."

The county magistrate opened his eyes and complained, "It rains a lot this winter."

An Le gathered her clothes and complained, "So it's colder than usual."

The county magistrate glanced at him, and then quickly closed his eyes.

about noon.

The county magistrate finally got rid of the torment of the bumps. He lay comfortably on a half-lying position, with a cup of steaming warm tea beside him.

An Le notified the county magistrate, saying that he was going to arrange the dancer to an inn.

An Le is holding the plain umbrella that he bought last time. Last time when the adults returned home, he disliked the umbrella for being too plain, so he threw it to him again. However, An Le originally bought this umbrella with money.

The dancer was standing under the eaves to hide from the rain, her red dress looked particularly abrupt and eye-catching in the rain.

An Le dragged her to an inn, taking advantage of the crowd, An Le led the dancer into a guest room with great difficulty.

"You just need to wait for the ghost doctor to come. He will heal your wrist, and then you can figure out a way for yourself."

The dancer sat on the bed and gestured to An Le.

After seeing it, An Le said with disgust: "You don't need to apologize, I just don't understand why you stabbed Second Young Master Xue's left eye."

The dancer's expression became cold again.

Seeing this, An Le didn't ask too much, "Forget it, naturally you can't ask more about the beauty's past. I'll tell the ghost doctor to pick you up after I go back. You have to be quiet during this time."

After going downstairs, An Le asked for a jug of white wine first, and then he left after drinking it all.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, An Le pouted, held up an umbrella and walked into the mansion.

Although it was only early winter, there were still biting winds. The winter in the south of the Yangtze River was humid, and the damp and cold air made Anle feel a little uncomfortable.

After he returned to his room, he didn't feel much warmer. He rubbed his hands, grinded them stiffly, and wrote a few lines with a pen.

After An Le habitually opened the window, he suddenly realized that since the county magistrate already knew that he was sending letters frequently, it was better not to act rashly.

An Le thought for a while, whistled, and an ordinary bird wobbled down from the tree and landed on the window.

"Don't send it by mistake." An Le muttered while tying a note, "Last time you sent the letter I sent to Sword Ghost to Doctor Ghost, and I didn't dare to eat at that time, for fear that Doctor Ghost would eat me Sprinkle some strange herbs in it."

The bird hopped a few times on the window, then flew away.

An Le closed the window, looked at the brush that had just been used and frowned, but soon relaxed again.

An Le smiled and brought in the plain umbrella from the door and put it on the table.

……

The county magistrate held the teacup and asked the man in black, "Is there any movement?"

The man in black said: "Not yet."

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows, "So patient? Well, it's not in a hurry now. He hasn't done anything yet, which means the time hasn't come yet."

The man in black said: "I'm afraid the prince's illness won't last so long—"

"Hmph." The county magistrate waved his hands disapprovingly, "Don't worry about it so much. Just let them do their own play."

The man in black responded, "Yes."

The county magistrate suddenly straightened up, "I just want to find out the details of An Le's chess piece recently, and then take a good look at how to play this game of chess."

The man in black said: "Since your lord cares so much, why don't you kill him to prevent future troubles?"

"If An Le is of little use, I will consider it, but obviously An Le is the decisive piece in this game."

The county magistrate got up and walked outside the house.

Holding a jujube-colored umbrella, the county magistrate walked to the comfort room, but before he could speak, he heard a loud sneeze from inside.

"..."

The county magistrate opened the door and entered, only to see An Le was wiping his face with his sleeve.

"..."

Seeing the county magistrate, An Le smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

The county magistrate looked at the ink on An Le's face with distaste, "Wash my face before talking to me!"

An Le: "..."

The county magistrate glanced at the things on the table. It was an umbrella, but it was exquisitely painted with a pavilion, a river of snow, and a lonely boat.

"It's really elegant." The county magistrate sneered.

An Le smiled brightly, "Didn't your lord say that the umbrella is too plain? Shouldn't it be vegetarian?"

The county magistrate was taken aback, "I said so?"

"Yes."

"So you drew it?"

An Le asked suspiciously: "Half and half, I'm free and fine. Why do you ask this?"

The county magistrate's expression was a little slow, and it was rare for him to ask gently: "What is your purpose in drawing this picture?"

An Le chuckled, "It's just wishful thinking, what's the point?"

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows.

"My master said that one of the four great pleasures in life is Jiang Xue fishing alone. He said that if these four things are accomplished, he will die without regret."

The county magistrate looked at An Le, "Are you yearning for it?"

An Le shrugged and said: "Although the old man is mostly talking gibberish, I think what he said is quite reasonable. I am just a passer-by in the world of mortals, and a happy life is what I want in my life."

The county magistrate jokingly said: "What about the beauty? Is it one of the four major leisure activities?"

An Le suddenly thought of the dancer, he shook his head and said, "Most of the beauties nowadays are jade bones and ice hearts, and my lord, haven't I told you? My master is a broken sleeve, he doesn't love beauties, he only loves beauties."

An Le was very pleased to find that the corner of the county magistrate's mouth twitched.

The author has something to say:

Seeing the question about the name of the county magistrate, it’s not that I didn’t notice it, it’s just that I haven’t figured it out yet_(:зゝ∠)_
