Chapter 135: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
The next day, Su Chen put on the coarse cloth clothes of the craftsmen, got up very early, and began to learn his kiln skills today.
The car had already driven out of the mountain gate a mile away, and the manor mountain area was gradually shrinking, so Bai Susu gently lowered the curtain of the car, withdrew his eyes, and looked complicated.
Xiaotong said beside him: "Miss, what have you been looking back at?" β
Bai Susu's face was melancholy, and he said softly when he heard this: "Look at the scenery of our manor?" β
Xiaotong asked curiously, "Oh, is it good-looking?" β
"Beautiful!" Bai Susu nodded and replied absentmindedly.
Xiaotong tilted his head, puzzled, the eldest lady came over before, but she never enjoyed the manor scenery like this, besides, the scenery was really ordinary!
"Miss, this Su Gongzi is so weird! Regardless of dirt and tiredness, he learned the craft of kiln and porcelain making from those craftsmen, and ordinary scholars despised these obscene skills. β
When Bai Susu heard her mention Su Gongzi, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile and said, "He is indeed a strange person, different from other scholars." β
Xiaotong nodded and said: "Yes, he doesn't seem to have any opinions on women's business, and he can also talk to the eldest lady, if it is other readers, he will definitely preach, persuade the eldest lady not to show her face, obediently embroider in the boudoir to make a female red, read female training and poetry." β
When Bai Susu heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger.
She has always been in control of most of the Bai family's business dealings, and she has been comfortable in business, and has been recognized by many heads of the nine major families, but the world still feels that it is inappropriate for a woman like her to do business, and thinks that it hurts customs, etc., which often makes her distressed and not understood by outsiders.
But after Su Chen appeared, when he got along with her, he didn't feel the slightest discrimination and looked at her differently from the other party's eyes and words, which is also the reason why Bai Susu likes to communicate with Su Chen often.
"Miss, you still have a marriage contract with him, should you withdraw from the marriage, or continue to get married?" Xiaotong asked this question somewhat out of place.
"Engagement!" Bai Susu was stunned, nominally, she was Su Chen's fiancΓ©e.
In the past, what she hated the most was this family business, because Su Chen was a gentleman, and I heard that ordinary women couldn't look down on him because of his bad deeds, let alone Bai Susu, who had a noble heart. But at this time, she suddenly found that Su Chen's previous "stubborn names" were deliberately pretended, and her sense of Su Chen naturally changed.
People will change, everyone will grow, and ideas and concepts will also have different cognitions and feelings because of the changes in the things themselves.
However, Bai Susu also knew that there was always a Bai family between himself and Su Chen. As long as she continues to be the de facto helmsman of the Bai family, she has no other choice. Unless Su Chen will get involved, it will be difficult for the marriage of the two to be promoted.
There is another way, which may be to get married first and let Su Chen pretend to be rich, but Bai Susu's household registration still writes himself into the Su family's household. But in this way, if she deceives the Bai family, once the second uncle and other clansmen know about it, they will oppose her, an outsider who married out, and continue to take care of the Bai family's business.
Bai Susu is not greedy for power and gold and silver wealth, but he doesn't want to watch the Bai family collapse like this and disappoint his grandfather and disabled father.
This question suddenly made Bai Susu's mood become depressed, thinking of the tunes that Su Chen had often hummed in the past two days, she couldn't help but chant softly: "The azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I'm waiting for you, the smoke is rising, thousands of miles across the river; At the bottom of the bottle, Han Li imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty, just when I foreshadowed to meet you......"
The voice is crisp and tactful, just slightly ...... It's out of tune.
Lao Zhou's songs, not everyone can sing the right tune, let alone the ancients who have never heard pop songs.
β¦β¦β¦
Xiangyun Pavilion.
After Liu Monong finished performing five or six folds, the plot entered a small climax, attracting more and more rich children and daughters in Runzhou City to come and watch.
The new form of performance, the tension of the stage, the vividness of the characters, the beauty of the picture, and the coordination of lyrics and songs simply integrate what the audience wants to see and listen to, which is very natural and rich, and a large number of die-hard fans of the West Chamber were born.
Hua Dan's Liu Mo is famous, and it has soared all of a sudden, and it has suppressed Hua Dan of several other major green buildings, and its popularity deserves to be the first.
It can be inferred that if this popularity continues, Liu Monong will be able to seize the position of Oiran without any suspense in the Mid-Autumn Festival Oiran Trials.
And a small group of people such as Cui Qiaoer of Xiangyun Pavilion were completely excluded and marginalized.
The other Hualou sisters who were close to Liu Monong and neutral were all activated by Liu Monong and participated in the rehearsal; But the servants who had a bad relationship before were naturally not among them, and more than a dozen Qingqi people led by Cui Qiaoer were full of jealousy and helplessness.
At present, Xiangyun Pavilion is on fire, although their business has also improved, but after the benefactors gradually know that they do not have any role in the West Chamber, they often come back next time, and they will be accompanied by a different person, and their business has become the worst group of people in Xiangyun Pavilion.
"Hateful, this Liu Mo is a fox charmer, begged the eldest lady of the Bai family, flattered Su Yixuan, and obtained the opera script, maybe she has already dedicated, she is secretly messing with a Lang Zhong named Su Chen, often alone in the room, unclear, water-based Yanghua's hatred!" Cui Qiaoer once again exerted the nature of her poisonous tongue.
"That's right, what kind of person is she, she has lost her body and done those shitty things, she is not worthy of being a Hua Dan."
These people are envious, jealous and hateful, talking behind their backs, deliberately smearing Liu Monong's reputation.
Suddenly, Sang's mother came over from behind and snorted coldly: "Cui Qiao'er, you are still chewing the root of your tongue, pack your luggage, you don't have to stay here in Xiangyun Pavilion tomorrow, let's go to another Lichun Pavilion!" β
Cui Qiao'er turned around when she heard this, and her face changed greatly: "Don't, Mother Sang, don't send me there!" β
She understands in her heart that the kind of place in Lichun Pavilion belongs to the third-rate Qinglou, and they are generally red people, and the middle-aged women can't stay in Xiangyun Pavilion anymore, so they will go there to sell the skin and meat business, and no one knows how to appreciate it by singing and dancing, most of the benefactors are poor men, boatmen, long-term and short-term workers, etc., go to Lichun Pavilion only for physiological needs, unless Cui Qiaoer redeems herself, otherwise once she gets there, she won't stay for a long time if she doesn't sell her body by performing arts, then her fate will be very dangerous.
Cui Qiao'er knelt down directly, her face was pale, she was so anxious that she cried, and begged on her knees: "Mother Sang, give Qiao'er another chance, the concubine has also contributed a lot to our Xiangyun Pavilion before, please give it another chance!" β
The other women next to her also interceded for her: "Yes, Mother Sang, give Sister Cui another chance." β
Mother Sang shook her head and said: It's not that you have offended me or offended me, I can bypass you. Your approach has run counter to our Xiangyun Pavilion and affected our overall situation, the financier behind him does not allow anyone to affect his business, and he can't keep you, go, it's better than sinking the river! β
Cui Qiao'er's face changed in fright, she was shocked, she didn't dare to talk anymore, her face was sad and desperate.
Other Qing officials also stopped pleading, and they were silent, the Pan family, the owner of the family, but the Jiangzuo family, controlling the Xiangyun Pavilion, as the behind-the-scenes investors, if the people of the Pan family are ruthless, they will not be soft.
Mother Sang glanced at them and said coldly: "Someone is making noise behind their backs, chewing on the root of their tongues, and destroying Miss Liu's reputation, all of which end up like this!" After saying that, he turned around and left with a cold face.
The third entered the West Wing Courtyard, on the attic of Liu Monong.
Xiaohe pushed the door into the room, saw Liu Monong finished removing her makeup, holding Su Chen's poetry collection in her hand in a daze, and stepped forward and said: "Miss, good news, Cui Qiaoer was punished to Lichun Pavilion for slandering Miss behind her back, and there will be no more Xiangyun Pavilion, that place is very dirty, and her fate will definitely be very bad in the future, she really deserves it, no one will do right with Miss now." β
When Liu Monong heard this, he sighed softly: "This is what Xiangyun Pavilion did for me, telling me that they attach more importance to me and give me the highest status; But there is also a warning, if one day my popularity is not good, it will affect their money, and we will not end up much better than Cui Qiaoer! β
Xiaohe was a little nervous and muttered, "We shouldn't be able to, right?" β
Liu Monong was a little sad and sad, shook his head and said, "The world is unpredictable! By the way, what else is there outside? β
Xiaohe thought about it for a while and replied: It's all rumored outside...... Miss Chuan used the fox charm to get Su Yixuan's West Chamber Notebook; still has an unclear relationship with Su Chenlangzhong, and even left him overnight, hovering between the two men, and he is no longer innocent. Hmph, they're talking nonsense out of jealousy, don't be upset, miss......"
When Liu Monong heard this, he didn't feel sad, but the joy on his face became bigger and bigger, and finally he couldn't help but chuckle: "Great, the more realistic they say, the better!" β
