Rumors quietly spread in the kindergarten.

I don't know who made the move and traced Zhang Ben's origin to the original. said that he was the son of Zhang Hua, a young craftsman - Zhang Hua pretended to be the descendant of Pengcheng Zhang, and after being exposed, he was ruined, and he is still laughed at by the world's corporals, and he doesn't want his son to die without repentance, and he still swaggers and deceives in the name of Pengcheng Zhang, which is really a lack of virtue in the family.

He also said that Liu Gong of Peiguo Xiangxian County is indeed a person, and he is indeed a well-known Hongru in the world. Xu Mao promoted him as an official when he was in Xuzhou, and recommended him to the Son of Heaven after returning to the court. However, Liu Gong only wanted to teach and educate people, so he refused several times. Xu Mao respected his learning, and all the children in his family followed him to study. Xu Yi also studied under Liu Gongmen when she was a child.

Liu Gong was deceived by Zhang Ben and once took him under his door, but later learned of his father's bad deeds, he felt humiliated and expelled him from the door. Who knew that Zhang Ben relied on his aunt to be the concubine of the Son of Heaven, and instead entered Guozi Studies. Because Liu Gong praised Xu Yi several times, Zhang Ben was jealous, so after entering Guozi School, he always regarded Xu Yi as an enemy and wanted to force Xu Yi. Xu Yi is broad-minded and doesn't care about him, but she doesn't bother to be with him, so she has always distanced herself from him.

……

Wherever Zhang Ben goes, there are people pointing fingers behind him.

Those friends who had called him brothers and sisters the day before avoided him in the blink of an eye. Not only did he avoid it, but when he turned his head to talk about him, the corners of his eyes and mouth were full of contempt and ridicule.

Zhang Ben didn't understand the reason at the beginning - although everyone talked about him, they would not poke it in front of him. But in the end, there were still good people who ran to Zhang Ben and asked, "Do you recognize Zhang Hua, the butcher who pretended to be Chinese?" ”

Calling Lao Tzu's name in front of his son, and exposing his shortcomings, is tantamount to pointing his nose and scolding. Rao is Zhang Ben was worried, and immediately blushed, and he was going to beat people.

Others teased, "I scolded Zhang Hua, why did you jump to your feet!" ”

Zhang Ben naturally understood that his background had been exposed, and he didn't defend himself, he only tore the other party's clothes and pressed them to fight. However, he was outnumbered after all, and was soon pulled away by everyone.

He didn't complain to Liuli, but endured it silently. In order not to implicate Liuli, he deliberately alienated her. But he didn't retreat as people guessed, and still came to the kindergarten every day to study. It's just that the young man who used to be good at talking in the past can't say a word in the town now.

Ruyi is sharper than Liuli, and everyone cares about Liuli's face, so they won't make fun of Zhang Ben in front of Liuli, but they don't shy away from it in front of Ruyi.

Ruyi soon sensed the strange atmosphere of yin and yang in the museum, and only felt as if a young bird could flutter its wings and fell into a nest full of wild cats that had nothing to do after being satisfied. The children of the family in the kindergarten seem to have finally gotten the toy, holding the child's innocent cruelty in their arms, bullying and humiliating Zhang Ben as a daily life, and making him angry and then languishing as fun.

On this day, the teenagers got together again to satirize Zhang Ben's expulsion from the school because his identity was exposed. Zhang Ben finally couldn't bear it anymore and defended, "I didn't deceive Mr. My husband knew where I came from, and he still took me under his door! Nor did he expel me from the school......"

The teenagers coaxed in unison, "You talk nonsense, we are ashamed to be with you, how noble is Liu Gong, how can he hide dirt?" ”

They clearly didn't intend to reason with Zhang Ben, they just wanted to provoke him.

Zhang Ben's eyes widened angrily, and when he fought with them, he fulfilled their wishes, not only could he not fight, but he was also taken advantage of the opportunity to make fun of "really a wild man". Ignore them, but be angry.

Ruyi closed the scroll.

"Is he talking nonsense, you write to ask Liu Gong himself, won't you understand?"

She had never quarreled with the world, neither socializing with her classmates nor interfering in the actions of others, so no one expected her to speak up at this moment.

But the so-called no one expected it, and it was just because these people didn't understand her temperament. If she were Xu Yi, she would know that she was definitely going to make a move, because this girl was gentle and kind, and if there was bullying in front of her, she would definitely not turn a blind eye. That's why Xu Yi persuaded her that this was the Zhang family's "family business", hoping to set up a checkpoint for her to endure before she exceeded a certain bottom line - after all, he couldn't follow Ruyi all the time, and Ruyi had only seen the gentle, harmonious and friendly side of the children of the family, and had never seen their arrogant and unreasonable side.

However, Ruyi's statement really hit the nail on the head, and it is a way of thinking to solve the problem in a down-to-earth manner, which is difficult to refute.

The teenagers could only say strongly, "Liu Gong is so busy, how can he bother him for such a trivial matter?" ”

Ruyi said, "It's about the friendship between master and apprentice, and the person is innocent, which is not a trivial matter." ”

Ruyi is different from Zhang Ben, and the teenagers are the same children of the scholar clan, and they are still reasonable in front of Ruyi. Although he was already annoyed, he still retorted, "Liu Gongyuan is in Xiang County, so can you deliver the letter to Xiang County, and can you guarantee that you will definitely be able to find Liu Gong's residence?" ”

Ruyi said, "So it seems that you can't even find Liu Gong's residence?" The young man blushed and retorted, "If you want to find it, you can find it, but it's not worth bothering about waiting for a small night!" ”

Ruyi said, "But if what Zhang Ben said is true, what you did today is to deliberately misinterpret Liu Gong's original intention and bully his apprentice." When you judge others, don't you even verify? ”

The young man was speechless, "How could Liu Gong accept a person like him!" He must have been deceived! ”

If you think he is messing around, you won't talk nonsense with him anymore. only turned to look at Zhang Ben, "Do you dare to write a letter to Liu Gong and ask Liu Gong to tell the truth?" ”

Zhang Ben immediately confessed, "Gong Liu is my mentor, I naturally dare!" ”

Ruyi handed him a pen and paper and said, "Then you can write here." When I have finished writing, I will send with your messenger to see if what you say is true. ”

When the young man saw Zhang Ben writing straight, as if he wanted to pour out the resentment that had accumulated over the past few days, as if he had suddenly reflexively become the one who stood on the side of morality, and Ruyi was really watching him write a letter from the sidelines, he couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Regardless of whether he is the son of Liu Gong or not, it is an indisputable fact that he and his father pretended to be Pengcheng Zhang's family to deceive! Such people who pretend to be ancestors and do not know shame, you are not ashamed, and you are willing to be with him, are you not afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Xu family in the East China Sea! ”

Ruyi didn't raise his head, but said slowly, "This thing, that thing." ”

Zhang Ben's pen couldn't help but be stunned - Ruyi was the first person to say that he believed him in the past few days, but he didn't want her to look at him like this, so he immediately distinguished, "I never said that I was the queen of Pengcheng Zhang!" ”

The young man sneered, "You have taken all the benefits, and only now do you say that you have not pretended." Why don't you explain when others misrecognize?! ”

Zhang Ben said indignantly, "If I explain, will you be able to tolerate me?" ”

The young man choked and said sharply, "Your father has done such ugly things, who can tolerate you!" ”

His reason was now clear, and Zhang Ben stopped talking.

Ruyi was annoyed that Zhang Ben didn't dare to admit his origin, but at this moment, he roughly understood something.

Zhang Ben's background is like his original sin, if he doesn't confess, he still has a chance to be known. But if he confesses, everyone will abandon him, and he won't even have a chance to prove himself.

She thought, so my cousin didn't think it was strange, and just said that it was a little trick to "seek advantages and avoid disadvantages"?

The young man rebuked Ruyi in a deep voice, "Do you still want to protect him?" ”

Ruyi is silent.

- She knew what she had to do, but she couldn't defend Zhang Ben.

The boy knew that she was indeed going to protect her to the end. In the end, they were worried about Xu Yi's feelings, and they couldn't tear their faces with Ruyi, so they could only grit their teeth and say, "You are so ignorant, you bear the consequences!" Then he shook his hand and left.

Zhang Ben hung his head, unable to face Ruyi. Fortunately, he had not finished writing the letter in his hand, so he hung his head with a red face and pressed all his strength on the tip of the pen.

Yet the letter was finished. He took the pen.

The two men stood silently in place. After a while, Zhang Ben asked in a low breath, "...... Is the letter still delivered? ”

Ruyi replied, "Send it." Seal it up. ”

Zhang Ben didn't know what to say more - he was also quite self-loathing, knowing that it would affect Ruyi, but it was rare for someone to take the initiative to help him, so he subconsciously implicated others. In this way, it is natural that you will not be able to make real friends.

He folded the envelope and handed it to Ruyi.

Ruyi received it in his hand and suddenly said, "...... Someone will be able to tolerate it. ”

Zhang Ben couldn't help but look at him.

Ruyi said, "Even if you explain it at the beginning, there will be people who will tolerate you and be willing to make friends with you - not everyone in the world only looks at your background and family, and not everyone wants to stare at what your father has done wrong, but they will not see what kind of person you are." But you lied, you don't believe that there are such people in the world. ”

She really understood why Zhang Ben would hide it and would not dare to admit it. But that wasn't enough to make her approve of what he did.

Ruyi sighed - she didn't care what the children of the family thought of her, who called her a princess. But she really didn't understand why she cared about this matter, why she had to protect Zhang Ben, and she had to say these words to him.

But since that's said, then it's better to come down to the end, "You want to be friends with people, but you make up your mind to deceive them from the beginning, and you doubt their vision and heart - this is really shameless." ”

When she finished speaking, she called the servants in and said, "Send it to Peiguo Xiang County and give it to Master Liu." If you don't know the way, you can ask the people around your cousin. They know. ”

After she dealt with this matter, she ignored Zhang Ben and still went back to her seat to study

Zhang Ben opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he had missed something, and he didn't feel like he was lost.
