Chapter 18: Trouble
The rain began to fall at some point, and the rustling sound of the rain knocked on the screen window, neither in a hurry nor slowly.
As soon as it rained, there was a damp smell in the room, which made her uncomfortable, and she hurriedly opened the screen window.
The cold wind accompanied by cool raindrops, the stars hit their faces very pleasantly.
Suddenly, Siyu seemed to think of something, quickly stood up, simply tied up her long hair, ran out of the house barefoot.
Outside the house, the dirt soaked her feet in the rain, but she couldn't care so much because she thought that the firewood room in the backyard might leak.
In the firewood room lived her benefactor, benefactor Mu Shaoqing.
Thinking of last night, he stayed here for more than ten days before he learned his name, and he was somewhat ashamed.
She was thinking about one thing, the arrow wound on his body was not yet healed.
The firewood room was dark and damp on a regular basis, but now that it was raining, she was worried that his wounds would be contaminated with the rain.
In that case, his wound would not be healed easily.
The rain of late spring, the rain and mist woven like silver threads, could not stop her, and the rain came from the yard.
"Mu Shaoqing, Mu Gongzi, wake up, wake up......"
She called softly as she came to the door of the firewood room, only to find that the door of the firewood room was wide open and the house was already empty.
He and his white robe, and his white medicine, and his sword, were all gone.
At that moment, Siyu was stunned.
It turned out that he was really gone.
At this time, the younger brother also rushed over, and when he saw such a situation, he was relieved and said, "Oh, this broom star is finally gone."
Chen Siyu glared at his younger brother fiercely, frightened him, and hurriedly ran back to the house.
In the courtyard, only a drizzle of rain remained, ticking and ticking.
She felt an inexplicable sense of loss, lingering in her heart.
After breakfast, Siyu and his younger brother prepared to go to Fenglong Academy together.
Mother Chen took it out at this time, the burden from last night, and said to Siyu: "Siyu, it's someone's intention, and the long shirt on your body really can't be seen anymore, didn't Dean Fan say you several times last time?" You'd better put on this one. ”
Siyu was very embarrassed when he heard this, his face was reluctant, and he wanted to refuse, but his younger brother was pleasantly surprised to see this long shirt, snatched it away, and said excitedly: "You don't wear it, I'll wear it, anyway, it's something that people paid you, why don't you want it?" If you don't want it, it'll be cheaper for me. ”
Mother Chen was a little annoyed, she knew that this gown was given by the second son of the Shen family, maybe she would really take a fancy to her family's Siyu.
"Take it off for your sister, it's a gift from her."
"No need, just leave it to my brother to wear, I'll wear my brother's one, my brother's one, it's also good!"
Mother Chen knew that Siyu was very stubborn, but there was no way to take her, so she had to wave her hand and said, "I don't care, let your sister and brother quickly."
After saying this, Chen's mother coughed again, she really had nothing to do with the two sisters and brothers.
As a result, the long street after the rain has a strange scenery.
The elder sister wore her brother's caftan but her younger brother's caftan was wide and big, and Siyu wore it as if she was singing.
The younger brother was wearing his sister's gown, although the gown was made of precious lake silk, it was completely sewn according to Siyu's delicate figure.
Chen Yunzhi wore such a long shirt, as if the whole long shirt was tied to his body, and he wore a short feeling.
But neither of them cared.
Mother Chen looked at the back of this pair of living treasures and shook her head.
The sisters and brothers came to the academy one after the other, and outside the academy, there was still a group of rich ladies who came to admire, and the celebrities waited outside the door in the rain, just to hope to see the male god in their minds, Shen Canglang.
The younger brother's eyes couldn't see it at all, seeing those young ladies who were wearing red and green, and who were still enchanting in the rain, the celebrities were waiting for Shen Canglang.
He couldn't help but sigh that the fate of people is too different.
These celebrities and ladies, in order to see Shen Canglang, really tried their best, Siyu was willing to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.
After sending her brother away, Siyu began her performance.
"Do you want to see Second Master Shen? I can help you with the message, but everyone has to give me a tael of silver first, and I promise to tell him what you say, word for word! ”
Siyu actually never took the initiative to say half a word to Shen Canglang, and he didn't even want to see him.
But when she said this, her face was really not red, her heart was not beating, and she couldn't help but admire her deceptive skills.
However, those rich ladies and celebrities bought his account.
Probably after Siyu dressed up as a scholar, she looked very charming and handsome after she dressed as a man.
Maybe these ladies and celebrities are also very infatuated with her, or have a very good impression of her.
They were all willing to ask her to bring a message to Shen Canglang, not to mention, they really didn't care about the one or two pieces of silver.
There were many rich ladies and celebrities in the crowd, and the ladies were very excited.
Someone suggested, "Can you bring us a letter?" Or, can you write a love letter to Shen Gongzi for us? We can pay for it, too. ”
Obviously, someone leaked the news and confided in Siyu and the rich lady.
However, this is also very good, Siyu's face showed a red and excited look.
The younger brother followed Mr. Fan to prepare for this year's Spring Festival, but the gambling debts he owed had to be repaid.
What's more, in Siyu's opinion, writing love letters is much easier than writing books, and the money is still cashed out, and you can earn more, so why not?
Chen Siyu simply moved a table and chair, sat at the door of the academy, and wrote love letters to many infatuated and wealthy rich ladies, rich ladies, and even noble and extremely wealthy widows, and occasionally did psychological counseling.
She also marked the price by name, a love letter was two taels of silver, and the price was increased by three taels and a painting, and in just one morning, it was sold for more than three hundred taels of silver.
If you add the noble man yesterday, it will be almost four hundred taels, and if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that my brother's gambling debts will be paid off before the end of the month.
She was thinking, this is really a way to get rich.
From this point of view, Shen Canglang is not without benefits in Fenglong Academy, and she even hopes that he can wait for a long time.
The longer you stay, the better, at least, to be able to wait for him to pay off his brother's gambling debts, and then it's not too late to leave.
For this goal, she was thinking that she couldn't completely fall out with Shen Canglang, after all, he was still useful.
She thinks so, and is about to do so, but the things of this world do not depend on human will.
The transformation takes place the next day.
The distinguished guest, who was dressed in an extremely expensive unexpected, slammed the door of the bookstore open.
He was followed by a few mothers-in-law, maids, and a group of rich ladies, and the ladies also followed.
This group of people, a few straight steps like a fierce god, came towards Siyu's side.
Siyu stood up at a loss, his big deer-like eyes full of panic and confusion.
After the distinguished guest stood still, he looked at Siyu coldly, and saw that Siyu thought that she was going to let herself write a love letter on her behalf so that she could hand it over to Shen Canglang.
"Miss, do you still want to write a love letter today?"
Who would have thought that the other party didn't want to talk at all, but just smiled coldly at her.
Only laughed so much that Siyu felt a little furious in her heart, she didn't know what was going on, she asked timidly and carefully, "Miss, is there something wrong with you?"
Looking at Siyu's confused face, the rich lady smiled coldly and introduced herself: "First of all, I have shown you that I, Zuo Mingzhu, just like Shen Canglang, do you understand this?"
Chen Siyu was a little dazed when he heard this, he didn't know what was going on, and nodded hurriedly: "I know this!"
I saw the young lady named Zuo Mingzhu on the opposite side staring at her with hateful eyes, and said sharply: "You don't have to pretend to be stupid in front of me, I won't hide it from you, I am Zuo Mingzhu, the granddaughter of today's Zuo Taishi, listen well, my name is Zuo Mingzhu!"
Until this time, Siyu still didn't understand what was going on, how could he provoke such a distinguished guest.
Moreover, the eyes of the noblewomen behind her are also extremely unkind.
Fortunately, in the bookstore, more than a dozen academic officials stood up and came over to persuade them, after all, no one wanted to offend this Miss Zuo.
Taishi Zuo only needs to move his little fingers, no, move his little toes, and Fenglong Academy will be abolished, and all of them will lose their jobs.
Just then, the door opened again.
Two people ran in from outside, one was Dean Fan, and the other was Steward Wang, and the two rushed in and hurriedly dissuaded the granddaughter of Master Zuo, "Miss Zuo, you have a lot of adults, don't get along with him, he is just a small secretary here." ”
It's a pity that Dean Fan was suddenly pushed away by Miss Zuo's entourage, and he almost turned over.
"Someone has settled accounts with you about this, and now, you should stay away from me."
All the scholars and scholars, seeing that their dean was humiliated, also surrounded them at once, and everyone couldn't get used to this delicate Miss Zuo.
However, she is the granddaughter of Taishi Zuo, unless she really doesn't take the road of official career, no one dares to touch this mold.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, how could the granddaughter of the imperial master surrender her identity and have a quarrel with a small bookstore.
This is unprecedented.
I saw that Miss Zuo just swept around coldly with her eyes, and all the scholars lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at her.
Only Dean Fan, with the support of the academic officer, stood up and hurriedly dissuaded: "Miss Zuo, Chen Siyu, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me, I am here, I will tell you for mercy on his behalf!"
As he spoke, Dean Fan was about to kneel, but Miss Zuo didn't look at Dean Fan at all.
"You are a little five-grade student and politician, and you actually deceived and concealed it, this thing can't be covered by paper after all......"
At this time, Dean Fan's face froze suddenly, and he interrupted her desperately: "Miss Zuo, there is no need for things, it is so stiff, I believe that Master Zuo will not do things so decisively!"
