Chapter 18: Slap in the Face (Part II)

Standing under the high platform, A-Yao's delicate index finger picked up the big red belly pocket, faced the pressure of hundreds of pairs of eyes in front of her, straightened her waist and looked proud.

If Shen Moci's abnormal reaction only made her wonder, then the touch of the belly pocket at the moment made her feel the bottom of her heart. Although it was only a slight difference, she could never admit it to herself after wearing something that she had worn for thirteen years.

It's just that her little self-confidence still can't compete with the prestige that Song Qinwen and Shen Moci have established over the years.

Most people have xenophobia, and when Ah Yao first entered the academy, she stirred up this bloody storm, and many people actually secretly resisted. Because she was studying in women's school, many girls were somewhat jealous of Shen Moci, and they faintly agreed with her thoughts, so they didn't show it on their faces.

There are pros and cons to everything, how jealous the female girl is of Shen Moci, how much the male student likes her, and in turn Song Qinwen's status is the same. Now in front of everyone, a large basin of dirty water is splashed on the heads of two people, and you can imagine how much anger it caused.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the students sitting on the benches in a neat row looked at them with undisguised disdain or contempt. Not only them, but even Gu Shanchang on the high platform couldn't help frowning. Of course, what he cared about was never what the truth of this matter was, but in front of Master Kukai, something like this happened in the academy.

"Let the master laugh, I'll ......"

Before Gu Shanchang could say what to do with it, Master Kukai next to him stroked his pale shou eyebrows and smiled kindly: "It's okay." ”

Tasting the ease and ease in Master Kukai's demeanor, Gu Shanchang's heart was relieved, and then he gave him a special respect: he is worthy of being a monk who is known as "the immortal descends to earth", this realm.

A master with a realm will be staring at the bottom, and the scale of his thinking in his heart is definitely beyond the expectation of Gu Shanchang and others who have deified him. looked at Ah Yao, who was a little thin outside the railing, with a kind face, do you want to help her? As soon as this thought arose, a pair of slightly evil eyes suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, although the owner of the eyes was not yet as weak as the crown, but he was born in the royal family since he was a child, and his temperament was enough to shock people's hearts when he was released.

It was the first time that the little marquis was so attentive to a girl, and when he remembered the words he had instructed, he instantly made up his mind.

"What proof do you have, girl?"

Master Kukai's words were like a basin of cold water, dousing the warm atmosphere under the high stage.

Song Qinrong, who was about to ask a question, could only swallow the words that came to her mouth, stood beside Shen Moci, and held her head high with a protective posture. Shen Moci, who was hiding in her shadows, frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

"Discussing this matter in public, isn't it...... Something bad? ”

Shen Moci's voice is naturally gentle, and she has just been "framed" for her reputation, and the whole person is even more pitiful. Although her voice was not loud, she was approved by most of the female scholars as soon as she said this.

"It's really embarrassing."

"It's not that someone is stirring up the wind and rain, and they don't give up."

The sound of small condemnation was endless, and Ah Yao, who was standing in front, couldn't really hear it, but Su Xiaoqiao, who was sitting in the crowd, could hear it clearly.

Unlike the jealousy that other girls have because of comparison, she really has a grudge against Shen Moci. If it weren't for the bullying of her minions, Daddy would not have lost his position as a steward, and the family would not have lost the most important source of income. In the past, Shen Moci was strong, and she was protected by Song Qinrong and others on the side, but she was no match.

It was precisely because of this that when she saw A-Yao facing Shen Moci directly, she felt even more relieved. Besides, she thinks Ah Yao is a very good person, although the two have known each other for a short time, she just thinks that they lose their temper. It is reasonable, she can't watch Shen Moci stir up this matter in a few words, and then splash all the dirty water on Ah Yao.

Thinking of this, she stood up, raised her voice and shouted, "Shen Moci, what do you mean to say that this thing is not good?" If you don't take advantage of everyone's presence to explain things clearly, will you let A-Yao bear a bad charge and be pointed at later. You are so anxious, are you weak-hearted? ”

"Who has a weak heart? Su Xiaoqiao, what are you shouting in front of Master Kukai? Song Qinrong frowned, and her words were full of rebuke.

"Song Qinrong, you are really a good dog of Shen Moci. What kind of soup did she pour you, A-Yao is still your cousin, so many valuable jewelry can't be given away for nothing to help her say a good word; Shen Moci is just a few pieces of snacks, so he coaxed you to be obedient and obedient, and targeted Ah Yao again and again? ”

Su Xiaoqiao's mouth was like a cannon, and the whole paragraph was said without the slightest pause, and every word was like a sharp sword rushing straight to Song Qinrong's door, making her unable to get off the stage at all.

"You...... Who is rare of her jewelry. ”

"So Cousin Ah Rong didn't like the gifts I gave me for so many years?"

A sad voice came from the front, and Song Qinrong looked up and saw A-Yao's face full of disbelief. What did she just say! How could she not like those jewelry, she ...... It's just being given to others. But according to Ah Yao's temperament, what will she do next? Thinking of those possibilities, Song Qinrong began to pray in her heart.

But God didn't hear her prayer after all, and walked up to her with her belly in her pocket.

"If you don't like it, give it back to me, so that you don't have to put it in the boudoir to make my cousin feel uncomfortable. Deal...... In the future, I will find something that my cousin likes and send it over. My cousin likes Miss Shen to make dim sum, right? The Shen family's unique secret recipe is not something that outsiders can easily peek at, but I can send Baiwei Zhai's pastries, and the taste of the two must be not much different. Do you think that's good? ”

Hearing the caution in A-Yao's voice, most of the people present couldn't cry or laugh. Who doesn't love jewelry and prefers dim sum. Even if you really don't like it, you don't know how many snacks you can buy if you exchange jewelry for money.

The students who can enter Donglin Academy are not stupid people, after the initial ridicule, they can't help but start to re-examine the relationship between Shen Moci and Song Qinrong, is it really as Su Xiaoqiao said?

If this is true, then the relationship between Shen Moci and Song Qinwen ......

Ah Yao, who aroused everyone's infinite reverie, was admiring Song Qinrong's palette-like face. In her previous life, when her father was alive, she protected her too well and developed her naΓ―ve and ignorant temperament, and at that time she really regarded Song Qinrong as a sister. But what did she do to her? After her father died, she said from beginning to end how merciful Shen Moci was, coaxing her and tricking her into selling the shop to Shen Moci. She didn't even let go of the Hu family's last mansion, and tried every possible way to persuade her to sell it and accompany Song Qinwen to Beijing to catch the exam.

These two brothers and sisters have been with Shen Moci from beginning to end.

Then she will fulfill them!

As if she waved her hand in frustration, the belly pocket that was not held firmly floated to the side, and it happened to float to Shen Moci, Ah Yao quickly reached out and fished it back, and touched her dress in the process. A similar touch came to her palm, and in an instant she had a number in her heart.

Turning to look at the high platform, she nodded slightly towards Master Kukai, and finally fixed her gaze on Song Qinwen.

"Cousin, are you sure that you don't have a too close relationship with Shen Moci?"

Song Qinwen frowned, and the suspicion of being in the carriage suddenly flashed in his mind. He and Ah Ci often discussed knowledge together, cherished each other, and borrowed handouts from each other. A few days ago, he lent his handout to his cousin, but it happened that Ah Ci asked him to borrow it, and in desperation, he could only take advantage of the rest of the night to catch up with a book.

After the rush, it was already the fifth watch, and he didn't sleep, but directly put on the carriage to pick up his cousin at Hu's house, which is why his eyes were black when he entered Hu's house.

At that time, my aunt seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that he was too tired to pick up his cousin. Such misunderstandings were harmless, and he didn't explain much.

But how did my cousin know?

This possibility crossed my heart again, and I just wanted to open my mouth to say something, and my eyes looked through my cousin to see Ah Ci behind me. She stood beside Ah Rong, her already gentle face was lined with a moon-white dress, and she swallowed the words in her mouth.

"Not really!"

It was really not to hit the south wall and not look back, and when she heard the two words coming out of Song Qinwen's mouth, Ah Yao had mixed feelings. There are emotions and doubts, but the most is the surprise of seeing the prey jump into the trap.

"Xiao Qiao is right, such an important thing must be made clear in front of everyone."

Turning her head to look at Su Xiaoqiao, Ah Yao's gaze turned to Master Kukai, "Master Fangcai asked me if I had any evidence, and I won't tell you that I do have it, and it is ironclad evidence." ”

Ah Yao's speed of speech could be slowed down, and every word was bitten very clearly, and with her words, everyone's thoughts were pulled over.

"Everyone knows that my Hu family's silk village has a good business, and I am even fortunate to become an imperial merchant. But there are no fools in the world, inferior things are destined not to be welcomed, the Hu family has been able to stand in Qingcheng for so many years, relying on the trustworthy quality of silk. And the tribute to the royal satin is the best of the best. The difference is thousands of miles, and the quality control of this depends on my father. To be precise, it depends on his sensitivity to hand sense and color. ”

After speaking, Ah Yao looked around and saw that everyone was listening carefully, she continued: "Father Xiao, I have also inherited Daddy's talent, so I can recognize Song Qinwen's light cyan robe in the bamboo forest, I think this is enough to prove my ability." ”

Speaking of this, A-Yao straightens her spine, this kind of talent is the pride of all the Hu family, and outsiders can't learn it if they want to.

The sharp gaze swept over Song Qinwen and Shen Moci, paused, and she raised the belly pocket in her hand: "The fabric used in this item is not only slightly different in color from the silk produced by my Hu family, but also has a great sense of feel, and it can never be produced by the Hu family." When I picked it up, I touched the clothes of the Shen family girl and found that the silk used in the two felt exactly the same. If the fabric alone does not prove anything, but even the way of embroidery and needle collection is not the same, this should be undeniable! ”

After speaking, she casually threw her belly pocket to Shen Moci, who was pale next to her.

"Here you go."

"Remember, don't give away the girl's personal belongings. Otherwise, even if you can't hurt yourself after an accident, it's not good to hurt others by mistake. Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, our girl's family is not as good as a boy after all, and we have more self-esteem and self-love. ”
