Chapter Seventy-Six: Slander
When I returned the same way, when I passed by Second Uncle Jiang's house again, I didn't hear the woman's voice, but I saw a red-haired rooster fluttering its wings over the wall and flying straight towards Wang Jin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that he was about to be smashed in the face, Wang Jin's waist was hugged by a strong force, and his body flashed to the side, avoiding it between the lightning and flint.
The courtyard door in front of it was opened with a "squeak", and a woman in her thirties in pink clothes walked out of the courtyard, scolding: "Oh, you stinky chicken, don't stay in the yard, just want to run out!" ”
The woman looked at Wang Jian and the others, and saw that she was safe and sound, and there was a hint of hatred in her eyes. She seemed to be very surprised: "The daughter of the Wang family? Why are you here? Ouch, this beast didn't hurt you, did it? He leaned over to catch the rooster. Strange to say, the rooster fell to the ground and lay on its stomach without moving, and when the woman grabbed it, she realized that something was wrong, and suddenly cried: "Ah, why is it dead?!" ”
She hurriedly hugged the and looked through it, but there were no obvious scars.
Did you really fall to your death? She felt a pang of heartache and regret. If I had known, I wouldn't have thrown it so hard.
She stood up, her smile was a little reluctant, and she was even more angry in her heart: Why is this Wang family's daughter so lucky, she didn't get smashed, and she let herself lose a chicken!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and when she saw Wang Jin standing beside the rich and noble son, she felt even more indignant. She turned her mind slightly, and smiled at Wang Jin: "Daughter of the Wang family, who are these two sons?" I don't think it's the same boy who used to go to your house! After speaking, he glanced at Li Mingqian and the others.
"Aunt Jiang, these two came to my house to buy grain. It's a lot of noise today, and I'm sure you've heard about it. Wang Jian replied with a smile, already vigilant in his heart. Jiang Qingliu had been in and out of the Wang family several times before, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in the village, but the prestige of the Wang family in the village was not low, and very few people would spy on his family's affairs, let alone discuss this matter in front of her so arrogantly. This Zhang deliberately mentioned Jiang Qingliu, there must be a conspiracy.
"Oh, yes, yes. Look at my memory! Zhang patted his head and said, and asked strangely: "Isn't the barn in the east, why do the two sons seem to come from the west?" This... From the girl's house? ”
"Yes, I invited them to the house for tea and rest." Wang Jin replied with a smile.
"You're entertaining in person?" Zhang's tone seemed a little nervous.
"My eldest brother greeted me." Wang Jin said lightly.
"That's good, that's good." Zhang patted his chest, as if relieved, and looked at Wang Jin's tone and said with relief: "Oh, niece of the Wang family, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I wanted to remind you a long time ago, this little girl's family has to pay attention to the proportion of her daughter's family when she acts and speaks." She sighed, "Like you are always with the old men who work in our village on weekdays, that is also a helpless thing, who made you so capable, everyone listens to you!" However, it's better to let your brother come forward to entertain male guests, otherwise it's too unruly, and the reputation of your daughter's family is not good! She chuckled, her eyes revealing endless joy.
Hmph, it's obviously a shameless girl who mixes with men all day long, I see how you pretend to be virtuous and generous!
She noticed that the two sons' faces seemed to change slightly, and she was even more proud, and waved her hand at Wang Jian with a smile and said, "Oh, I just have more mouths, don't take it to heart the daughter of the Wang family." I'll go home and work, so I won't get in your way! ”
With the rooster in one hand, she turned around and walked into the yard, her face fluttering uncontrollably, and suddenly she heard a voice behind her: "Miss Wang, do all the village women in the countryside care so much about other people's affairs?" I don't know how my parents raised me. ”
His tone was extremely light, but the boredom and disdain between his words were very obvious.
Zhang's body stiffened, and the smile on his face instantly froze. She slowed down, but didn't dare to turn back to face the person who spoke.
"Not really. People are naturally different from each other. Wang Jinben smiled at Li Mingqian with a pretty face with a hint of coldness, like a delicate flower in warm spring, looked at Zhang's back and said lightly: "Some people respect him a foot, and he respects you in return." But some people will only get an inch! ”
The toughness in her tone made Zhang inexplicably frightened, but Li Mingqian's eyes looked at her with a look of satisfaction.
There is a reason for that. Like Miss Wang, she is gentle and frugal to her parents and brothers, virtuous and virtuous, and courteous to outsiders, and a woman who advances and retreats to a certain extent, which is extremely rare and can be a model for women in the world's boudoirs. It is really cocooned and stupid to restrain the women who insult the girls with the defense of men and women and the theory of etiquette! His words were loud and loud, and every word smashed into Zhang's heart, making her so shocked and angry that she could hardly stand firmly.
A model in the world? This cowhide is a bit blown... Wang Jin was slandered in her heart, and the smile on her face was still gentle.
"This son, don't be deceived by her smiling and well-behaved appearance!" Zhang suddenly turned around and pointed at Wang Jin, and shouted sharply, his expression was even more hideous, "There was also a very good-looking and rich young man who also came to the Wang family before, and he lived there for several days, they have long been unclear!" That young man hasn't been here for a long time, he must have looked down on her, she immediately hooked up with you again, don't be deceived by her! ”
She couldn't hold back any longer, and said the most vicious thoughts about Wang Hibiscus hidden in the deepest part of her heart.
Yes, she just can't get used to Wang Hibiscus!
Why does everyone in the village say she is good?
Why did she say that she didn't want a capable person like her husband, but she hired an old family and paid such a high salary?
Why is it that she is shameless to be stuck in the man's pile every day, and she still looks like she is ice and jade, and she has a clear conscience?
Why did she expose her old bottom, and there were still people who protected her like this?
She's not convinced! She must tear off her mask so that people can see her foxy face!
"Hehe, if that's the case, I can't ask for it." Li Mingqian laughed lightly, looked at Wang Jian with infinite tenderness in his eyes, and said affectionately: "If I can ask Miss Wang as my wife, even if I am deceived for a lifetime, I am willing." ”
This drama is too exaggerated! Wang Jian felt goosebumps fall to the ground on his body, and looked at Zhang with some sympathy.
Zhang's expression was extremely shocked at this time, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were round, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Li Mingqian, but he didn't dare to say anything after all.
Finally, she looked at Wang Jin, her eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, she spat at Wang Jin's feet, turned around and left.
After only taking two steps, I saw her groan, bend her knees, and fall to the ground, motionless as if she had fainted.
Wang Jin was startled and looked at Li Mingqian: "She's okay, right?" What did you do? ”
"It's just a small punishment. She's fine, don't worry. Li Mingqian looked at her and smiled warmly.
Wang Jian looked at the woman lying on the ground, and wanted to raise her compassion, but she was really a little annoyed today, so she simply walked past the woman with a step, and ignored it.
Li Mingqian looked at her back, seemed to have noticed something interesting, raised his eyebrows, and strode to follow.
There were no words along the way, and when he met his acquaintance, Wang Jin just smiled and nodded. Being insulted by someone like this inexplicably, no matter how good her mentality is, she will be aggrieved and angry. But she can't cry, she can't make trouble, she can't even complain, she is really depressed in her heart, her steps are getting faster and faster, and Li Mingqian behind her needs to speed up her pace to catch up with her.
After all, it's still a little sad. Li Mingqian sighed in his heart, but did not say anything to comfort him.
The three of them went to the barn in silence, and sure enough, the middle-aged man had already returned with the convoy.
After he asked for instructions, he continued to command everyone to weigh, load, and move. After a dozen or so carts were filled again, the barn was finally emptied of all the grain that should be taken away.
"Childe, all the grain has been counted and is ready to be loaded." The middle-aged shopkeeper said respectfully to Li Mingqian, "After accounting, the weight totals 20,720 catties, which is equivalent to 210,000 taels of silver." ”
Li Mingqian looked at Wang Jian with an inquiring look in his eyes.
There will be some loss in the process of grain handling, and it is normal to miss a few catties. Wang Jian nodded and said, "The number is good, I'm tired of this shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "No trouble, no trouble." Then he took out a silver slip from his sleeve and handed it to Li Mingqian.
Li Mingqian took the silver slip, walked to the table in the barn, wrote a few words with a brush, and then untied the jade seal around his waist and stamped it, and handed the silver slip to Wang Jin.
"I'm sorry for you." Wang Jian took the thin piece of paper and said with a slight smile.
"Hehe, you deposited the money directly to our bank, how can we be in trouble." Li Mingqian smiled lightly.
Wang Jin pursed her lips and smiled very lightly.
"Childe, then we'll go." The middle-aged shopkeeper bowed his hand slightly.
"Well, you go first, I have other arrangements." Li Mingqian said.
The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded and retreated, quickly assembled the convoy, and soon set off.
Wang Jin put the silver slip in his sleeve and thanked Li Mingqian softly: "Thank you for today's events." ”
"It's just a sale, it's mutually beneficial, and the girl doesn't have to be polite." Li Mingqian said gently.
Seeing that he would be wrong, Wang Jian didn't explain much, but just wrote down this favor in his heart.
"Presumably, Childe still has something to deal with, so I won't keep you." Wang Jian cheered up and smiled, "In a hurry today, I failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will be treated to the two of you. ”
Li Mingqian bowed slightly: "If the girl has any difficulties in the future, she can come to me." He paused, the corners of his mouth curled, "Not counting those three things." ”
Wang Jin smiled faintly and did not respond.
Without staying any longer, Li Mingqian and Suixing turned over and got on their horses and whipped away.
