Chapter 332: If I weren't the party, I would have believed it
"Eh, how do you know that young lady has escaped from marriage? Who are you listening to? Passerby B spoke again, "This kind of thing can't be talked about, after all, the reputation of the girl's family is very important!" ”
"You don't know this, when the two of them moved over, didn't they invite some people nearby to help, and they didn't buy some family and maids until later, and I had a relative who happened to help them during that time, and after my relative came home, I went to ask about it, and then I knew that there were twists and turns!" Passerby A said proudly, "There are officials in that young lady's family, and she is quite rich, because she is the only girl in the family, so she is very favored, but I don't know why, her family set a marriage for her, and then she didn't agree very much, so she escaped." ”
After listening to what passer-by A said, the person next to him showed a clear expression, too, the eldest lady of the official family, who is favored at home, must resist if she wants to marry someone she doesn't like.
"No, I remember that the young lady wasn't alone when she came, didn't she come with her eldest brother?" Passerby C suddenly asked, "And when I passed by there a few days ago, I found that there was another man in the small courtyard!" ”
"Look at the way the man looked at the young lady before, like an ordinary big brother looking at his own sister?" Passerby A asked rhetorically, "Calling each other brother and sister is probably to avoid suspicion, after all, this man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and if they live together, it is inevitable that some people will gossip!" As for the other man you mentioned, it was a doctor with very good medical skills, it seems that on the day of the holiday, that young lady fell ill, and the doctors in the whole town could not do anything, so they invited a doctor with excellent medical skills from other places to come! ”
After listening to what he said, passerby B suddenly said, as if he remembered something, "No, just like you said, there are people in this young lady's family who are officials and rich, how can it be that no one has come to look for her after so long?" ”
"Isn't there another lady who came here before the holiday, listen to the name of the young lady, the person who came over is her sister-in-law, and the relationship with the son is not bad, I think the young lady's family knows that the marriage is no longer a show, so slowly look away, maybe it won't be long before they leave here and go back to the capital!" Passerby A slowly spoke, "Okay, anyway, that's all I know, after all, although my relative knows someone in the small courtyard, he can't get much news!" ”
After seeing passer-by A tell everything he knew, the others sighed with emotion, but they didn't say anything more, and dispersed.
Shen Zhimeng, who was sitting on the other side and witnessed this whole thing, was a little crying and laughing, although the words of some people in the group just now were indeed on the point, but when things were taken together, it was really not what they imagined.
Probably to ease the atmosphere, Shen Zhimeng stubbornly said, "I suddenly feel that this group of people is very talented in storytelling, I don't know where I know a thing or two, but I can tell the story so completely, if I am not the party, I will believe it!" ”
It's just that what she didn't expect was that she originally wanted to ease the atmosphere, but it seemed to backfire.
"Isn't that the case?" Su Mian asked rhetorically, "Didn't you live here just to avoid the marriage with Han Gongzi?" Then you and Han Gongzi are called brother and sister, and it is indeed to avoid suspicion, and I was indeed invited by you to see a doctor. ”
Hearing Su Mian speak like this, Shen Zhimeng was a little short of words, "Do you really not understand what I mean?" ”
"Although I probably know what you want to express, but what people say is the truth, and I can't say that people are talking nonsense!" Su Mian said slowly, "But speaking of which, your sister-in-law returned to the capital a few years ago, does this mean that you will also go back not long after the New Year?" ”
"I don't know exactly what this is about, but listening to Han Luyun's meaning, he should be about to go back!" Shen Zhimeng opened his mouth and said, "When I was at home just now, didn't you also hear it, in this matter, I just said a few words, and he looked angry!" ”
Seeing Shen Zhimeng's appearance, Su Mian opened his mouth and asked, "So you really plan to go back to the capital?" ”
"Originally, I didn't want to go back, but Han Luyun was so angry, and we haven't gone home for so long, so let's go back!" Shen Zhimeng helplessly spread his hands, "I escaped before to avoid getting married to a completely unfamiliar person, and now I know that the person I want to marry is Han Luyun, and I have been together for so long, although I don't like it, but at least I don't hate this person, if I really want to get married, then get married, and it can be regarded as obeying my father's wishes!" ”
Hearing Shen Zhimeng's words, Su Mian's tone was also a little stiff, "So do you think that getting married is just listening to the words of the elders in the family?" I don't think you're supposed to be like that! ”
"Whether it's this kind of character or not, it doesn't matter anymore, think about how willful I have been for so many years before, whether it's my parents or elders, they all put my requirements first, this time I'm even more willful to stay so far away from home, and I haven't gone back to see it for so long, although they didn't say it, they didn't write a letter, but they must be worried in their hearts, so if I go back this time, let them worry about it!" Shen Zhimeng slowly spoke, "Although it seems to you that my approach may be a little stupid, but if it is for them, I am willing." ”
"Then haven't you thought that you will meet someone you like more in the future?" Su Mian opened his mouth and asked, "If there is really such a person in the future, everything is particularly in line with your heart, do you still have to listen to the words of the elders in the family and marry Han Luyun?" ”
"Let's not talk about whether I can meet such a person, I guess that when I return to the capital, my engagement will be announced, and at that time, naturally there will be no more young talents coming to me, and there will be no such thing as meeting someone who meets your heart!" Shen Zhimeng said very calmly, "Brother Su, I know what you want to express, but now that this situation has arrived, although I have the freedom to do whatever I want, but I am very tired, and I want to come to my father and mother too, rather than making everyone tired because of these things, it is better to leave it at that!" ”
After Shen Zhimeng's words were finished, Su Mian could clearly feel the depression in her mood, it was true that he was angry about Shen Zhimeng's attitude, but after listening to Shen Zhimeng's explanations, he couldn't say a word.
Shen Zhimeng said that he was quite tired, so why shouldn't he? A person who has been holding on to that memory until now, but the Venerable Master can't have the slightest act of overstepping the norm in front of him, how long can he sustain such a day?
Perhaps they felt that this topic was a bit sluggish, so after the two of them were silent for a while, they tacitly agreed not to mention these things again, but put their minds on the street on the side.
It is also a coincidence that the two people go out at the same time, today is just a good day for the town to catch the market, the streets are full of small vendors, and there are many people coming and going on the street, and it is very lively.
Perhaps affected by the atmosphere in front of him, Shen Zhimeng's mood was a little lighter, and he stopped from time to time to see what was placed on the stall on the side, and if he met something that was pleasing to the eye or what he liked, he would also buy one or two, and in less than a while, the hands and bodies of the two people lifted a lot of things.
"We just came out to shop, why did we buy so many things!" Looking at the things in his hand, Su Mian couldn't help but ask: "It is said that as soon as the girl's family goes out, she must go shopping, I didn't believe it before, but now when I see you like this, I think this is true!" ”
Hearing Su Mian's words, Shen Zhimeng also laughed, "It's not like I haven't been out for too long, and then I ran into a market here, so I naturally wanted to buy something!" ”
"I'll just say it, there's nothing else, you keep watching, if you like it, we'll buy some more, after all, I don't know when I will go out next time, and I don't know if I can catch up with this kind of scene!" Su Mian smiled at her, "Today is the New Year's gift I prepared for you, you can buy it with confidence, I will pay for it!" ”
"Since Brother Su said so, then I'm welcome!" After hearing Su Mian's words, Shen Zhimeng was also unceremoniously, after getting along for so long, she probably figured out some of Su Mian's temperament, since he opened this mouth, he must be trying to achieve his own goals by all means, instead of fighting wits and courage because of this kind of thing, it is better to accept his kindness generously, "It just so happens that I still have some favorite gadgets that I haven't bought, now that I have this opportunity, then I will definitely not show mercy, Brother Su, you have to be ready!" ”
Looking at her like this, Su Mian's smile deepened, "If you have anything you like, just rest assured that I don't have much in this person, only money!" ”
"That's really good!" Shen Zhimeng also laughed.
Under Su Mian's intentional or unintentional connivance, Shen Zhimeng picked a lot of things he liked, and he didn't give up until the two of them couldn't take them.
"Today is really a happy day, I haven't felt so happy for a long time!" On the way back, Shen Zhimeng looked at the large and small bags in the hands of the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh, "I remember that I was not so crazy in the capital before, how could I get to this kind of place, but I can't control myself more and more!" ”
"Maybe it's because most of the business in the capital is your own home, so no matter how much you buy, it's your own thing, so you don't feel much of it!" Su Mian thought for a moment before he spoke, "But in this case, I have come up with a good way for you, you can do your family's business in this kind of place, maybe you can make a lot of money when the time comes!" ”
"Although what you said is very practical, I am not responsible for this matter." Shen Zhimeng said very seriously, "But although I don't understand this, I still have some understanding of related things, according to my second brother's character, I shouldn't be able to do business in this kind of place, after all, there are still too few people living here, if you want to open a shop here with great fanfare, the price will definitely not be less!" ”
After hearing Shen Zhimeng's words, Su Mian also smiled, he didn't care too much about this matter, originally he was joking when he said that, and he didn't have any idea of getting a response.
