Chapter 17: Rumors abound

On this day, when her mother was out and her father was not there, Linglong heard about it and immediately prepared to leave the house with joy.

It's just that the two girls who know books and paintings are difficult to get away, so Linglong took them to the dexterous place, and secretly ran away under the pretext of going out.

She trotted all the way out, and when she was about to get out of the side garden, she accidentally bumped into someone. Taking a few steps back, I saw that the person who came was twenty or thirty years old, and there was nothing special about her mediocre appearance, if you really want to talk about the advantages, I can only say that her face is clean and fair, and there is no impurity.

The woman also brought a *-year-old little girl, and the little girl saw that it was herself and said crisply: "Is it the second sister?" Hey, the second sister is different from before! ”

Linglong looked at the two of them, but he had never seen them, what kind of person was this?

The woman smiled and said, "Second Miss is really different, we have only been away from the house for three months, and we are almost unrecognizable." Aromatic, bring the gadgets we brought from the countryside to pick up for the second lady. ”

A maid behind her came with a box in her hand, opened the lid, and it was full of country children's playthings, such as spinning tops, small gourds, rattles, and some small bamboo things.

Linglong took a gourd casually, "Thank you, I still have to leave beforehand!" ”

"Second sister, where are you going?"

"I'm out of my favor!" Linglong ran away without looking back, she walked for a while, Zhishu Zhihua chased after her, saw the two of them, and hurriedly saluted: "Third aunt, fourth miss, are you back?" Have you ever seen our second miss? ”

The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "See, I just went over there, what are you looking for her?" ”

Zhishu Zhihua didn't listen to her at all, so he lifted his skirt and chased out, and the little girl blinked: "Auntie, are they hiding from the cats?" I'm going to have fun too! ”

"Silly boy, they're not hiding from the cat, let's go back and tidy up first, or we won't have a place to sleep tonight."

When Zhishu and Zhihua chased to the door, Linglong was already swaggering down the street. As soon as she went out, she felt that passers-by were looking at her and pointing at her, and she turned her head sharply, and those people bowed their heads and did their own thing.

I feel that the atmosphere is very bad, is I too famous? I knew that she had changed into a little girl's outfit and came out, and she saw a ready-to-wear store nearby, so she swaggered in.

"Guest officer, welcome, what do you want...... The originally enthusiastic shopkeeper changed his face when he saw Qing Linglong's face, and turned cold: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, our store is closing." ”

"Closed? It's morning, and you're not going to do business before you finish hanging up your clothes? ”

"Business to do, just don't do the Su family's business."

Linglong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "My Su family recruited you to provoke you?" Or do I owe you money? Why are you talking like that? ”

"Heh, that's how I talked, I'm sorry, Miss Su, please go out!"

Linglong was so angry that she sat on the stool at the door: "I just don't leave, if you don't make it clear, I won't be able to do business today." ”

The shopkeeper didn't take her seriously, Linglong sat at the door, and when he saw someone coming, he drove people away: "It's closed, go to another house." ”

drove away several groups of people repeatedly, and the shopkeeper finally became a little anxious: "Miss Su, what are you doing sitting in front of my store?" There are so many shops on the street, you go to another house, I beg you! ”

"I don't, I'm just going to be at your house, if you don't make it clear to me, I'll send someone to sit at your door every day, so that you can't do a business."

The shopkeeper was extremely embarrassed, scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and beckoned to Linglong: "Miss, if you come in, the little one will tell you." ”

"No, in broad daylight, what are your intentions when a big man asks me in?"

The shopkeeper's face was extremely ugly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly: "Miss Su, don't laugh, I'm afraid that you will do something to the little one!" ”

"What do you say? If you have the courage to say it again. ”

The shopkeeper shrank in, touched his nose and whispered: "Everyone in Jiangzhou knows that Miss Su is arrogant and immoral, and you dare to press a big man on the street in broad daylight...... Give it to that, not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

"What's more, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion can't help Miss, how dare we ordinary people do anything to Miss?"

"Dingguo Marquis Mansion?" The anger in Linglong's heart arched one after another, and sure enough, the vicious Tian clan would not let herself go lightly, I don't know how many rumors she has made outside?

Linglong took a stool to block the door to prevent the guests from coming in, walked in and patted a silver ingot of ten taels on the table: "Shopkeeper, say it well, tell me everything you heard, and I'll give you another reads when it's all done." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the silver, he looked out of the door, and quickly put away the silver ingot: "Miss, why don't you find a few sets of clothes to try, let's try it and say how about it?" ”

"It's okay, I want small men's clothes."

"Men's clothing?" The shopkeeper looked at Linglong: "Well, too, it's easier for Miss to wear men's clothes to travel, you wait, the small one will definitely give you a set of satisfaction." ”

"Don't talk too far, let's talk about what the Hou Mansion says about me?"

"Oh, Miss Su, last time you married the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion, as soon as you entered the door, the eldest prince was gone, and later he retired and asked for the dowry and dowry to go back, the Hou Mansion must be unhappy. Hou Fu released words to say that the young lady was born Kefu, and the eldest prince was killed by the young lady. ”

"Nonsense, that guy was going to die before I went, why did it count on me?"

"Hey, don't be angry, Miss, the rumors are like this, one is passed on to the other, one is worse than the other, this is not bad, it is said that there are still people in the Hou Mansion who are spreading, and after the young lady enters the mansion, she finds that the eldest prince is not good and makes a fuss in the happy hall.

The mourning hall also made a fuss, the eldest prince was buried, the young lady didn't understand the hatred, and she had to torture the eldest prince's body for life, making a mess of the eldest prince's clothes......"

The shopkeeper said everything he heard while picking out his clothes, and he didn't pay attention to Linglong's reaction, and when he saw it, he saw that Linglong's face was pale, and his eyes could almost kill.

He sneered awkwardly: "Miss, you want to say it small, these are all small ones from the mouths of the guests, the guests all know about it, and everyone in the entire Jiangzhou City knows about it." ”

Linglong endured and endured, and finally suppressed the urge to beat people, and took out a silver ingot and smashed it on the table: "Go on, say that there will be a reward." ”

The shopkeeper happily accepted the silver, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Thank you, Miss, the Hou Mansion also let out the words, whoever dares to marry the young lady in Jiangzhou City will not be able to get along with his Hou Mansion, and it will definitely make the family ugly." ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper looked out cautiously: "Miss, come in, don't let people see it, there are often Hou Mansion family members wandering outside." ”

"What? They won't even let you sell anything? ”

"It's not that I won't be allowed to sell, just in case, in case they are looking for small trouble, my small shop has to feed a family, and the small business can't withstand the toss."

Linglong took two deep breaths, gritted his teeth, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, rumors are flying all over the sky, there are all kinds of things, some are from the Hou Mansion, and some are these people who are idle and chewing their tongues.

Miss, the little one sees that you are not that kind of person, and the little kind person advises you, you should go out less in the future, and wait for this limelight to pass. ”
