Chapter 249: Rumors Spread
After the mother-in-law received the money, she immediately began to act, and it was not easy to spread rumors, and everyone was happy to discuss some gossip on weekdays, regardless of whether it was true or false.
As soon as the mother-in-law went out, she met her current neighbor and hurriedly beckoned her over and said, "Hey, Mrs. Zhang went out to buy vegetables." ”
"So coincidentally, so are you?" Unexpectedly, as soon as she came up, she met a person who was idle every day like herself, and she became the first target of her mother-in-law.
After the greetings, the mother-in-law cut to the chase and said, "Mrs. Zhang, do you know the shopkeeper of the flavor building." ”
"What's wrong with her?" Mrs. Zhang asked, putting one hand to her mouth.
"I just heard about her before," the mother-in-law motioned for Mrs. Zhang to come closer, and then whispered to her, "This shopkeeper is not a native of Xicheng, I have heard that she was divorced before." ”
"Huh? Have you ever been divorced? "In this era, women who have been divorced are basically gone, and it is extremely difficult to remarry, and they will be looked down upon by others.
Speaking of which, there is basically nothing wrong with Chi, after all, Chi Wan was indeed divorced, but her mother-in-law said to Grandma Zhang: "Yes, do you know how she was divorced?" It is said that he was driven back because he did not abide by women's morals and was morally corrupt. ”
"Oh my God!" Grandma Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and then in exchange she also said what she observed, "This woman has been thinking that she is not good since I know her, a girl's family is not good at staying at home, and she ran out to open a store, I really don't know that her parents don't care, it turned out to be sneaking out." ”
As soon as Grandma Zhang opened her mouth, she immediately aroused interest, and then told her mother-in-law something else: "Ahem, haven't you noticed recently, the shopkeeper of this flavor building is very close to a man." ”
"But the good-looking, son-in-law surnamed Lin? I saw him at the last cooking competition. ”
"Yes, that Lin Gongzi looks good, even if his parents died, but he lives well on his own, I see that he is quite old, I originally wanted to help him matchmaker, it seems that it is not necessary now." Grandma Zhang pouted a little displeased.
The mother-in-law said, "Who knows what unseemly methods this unruly woman uses to seduce men, alas, I can't tell you clearly." ”
Then, after a few more pleasantries, they parted. The mother-in-law smiled secretly, she really knew Grandma Zhang too well, and her big mouth was simply her most advantageous weapon.
Then, she went to many places, the old Wang who sold cakes on the street, Mrs. Chen who sold fruits over there, in short, she was good friends with her.
After listening to this gossip, those people all showed surprised expressions, but they were convincing, and agreed one after another: "Ahem, I have already found out that something is wrong with her." ”
"I didn't expect her to be this kind of woman, tsk."
In this way, everyone spread the word to each other, and the more they talked about it, the more they talked about it, and so far almost everyone in the town had heard of Chi Wan's romantic deeds.
On this day, Xie Yutang wandered around the street as usual, and now he has nothing to do every day, and when he gets up, he goes out and doesn't go back to the inn until he goes to bed, so that he can meet Chi Wan.
For this reason, he used to live in a remote but very luxurious inn, and all the facilities were available.
But for the sake of Chi Wan, he made a compromise and moved into an inn near the place where she and Chi Wan had met last time, which was small and dilapidated, but as long as he thought that maybe Chi Wan was nearby, Xie Yutang felt that everything was worth it.
After shopping for a long time, Xie Yutang was hungry unconsciously, he touched his stomach, and his stomach screamed twice to vent his dissatisfaction.
Let's go eat something, Xie Yutang looked left and right, and when he saw a shop selling food, he walked in and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, if there is anything delicious for me, I can serve some casually." ”
"Okay, here we go!" The shopkeeper shouted, and began to make peace for Xie Yutang, Xie Yutang took this opportunity to inquire with the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you a question, do you know!" A guy called Ji Wan? ”
"Chi Wan," the shopkeeper said as he confronted, "I haven't seen what she looks like, but I seem to have heard some news about her lately." ”
"What's the news, why don't you tell me about it?" Xie Yutang was interested, but what the shopkeeper said next almost didn't make him angry.
"I heard others say that this Chi Wan is not a good master, it seems that he was divorced because he didn't abide by women's morals, so he came to us to escape."
“…… What is this saying, Chi Wan is not such a person! Xie Yutang angrily slapped the case, which really scared the other party's shopkeeper and attracted the attention of a circle of people around.
"Don't be angry, guest officer, I'm also hearsay, you don't have to take it seriously." The shopkeeper's persuasion Xie Yutang said.
Xie Yutang calmed down the displeasure in his heart, after all, the shopkeeper also listened to others, and he was not the one who spread the rumors behind this. Then Xie Yutang sat down and asked, "Who did you listen to say that?" ”
"I also tried to listen to what the shopkeeper next door said," the shopkeeper was just frightened by Xie Yutang's angry momentum, and now said with a resigned look, "As for where he heard about it, I don't know." ”
"That's it, don't talk about it, let's get me something to eat." Xie Yutang 6 was sullen, and he was almost in no mood to continue eating. Why would anyone say that Chi Wan was not behind her back, and who was doing it?
After Xie Yutang finished eating, he simply went to the next door to find the shopkeeper next door and asked her, "Shopkeeper, can I ask you about something?" ”
The shopkeeper next door is a kind-faced aunt, and she speaks in a very straightforward tone to others. She said to Xie Yutang: "If you have anything to tell me, I can help." ”
"Do you know someone named Ji Wan?"
"Chi Wan......" The aunt thought for a while and said, "Oh, oh, you're talking about the pool shopkeeper of the flavor building, what's the matter, are you from her family who want to take her back?" ”
Xie Yutang pursed his lips and said, "No, I'm her friend, it's a rumor on the street, don't believe it, it's all nonsense." ”
"It's a fake roar, but a lot of people are saying it, and I also heard from others." The eldest aunt didn't really care if it was true or not, anyway, she always chatted after cooking, and after chatting, it was nothing.
Xie Yutang thought to himself, how capable was the person who spread rumors behind his back, and he was able to spread the rumors so widely. But listening to what the aunt said just now, what kind of shopkeeper is Chi Wan?
"Auntie, I heard you just say, what kind of shopkeeper is Chi Wan?" Xie Yutang asked.
"Ahem, Flavor Building, you don't even know this?" The eldest aunt sighed twice, "This is our best restaurant here, the dishes there are cheap and delicious, especially the yam fungus, which is sweet and crisp and refreshing......"
"Auntie, stop, stop!" Xie Yutang made a stop gesture and said, "Can you tell me how to get to the Flavor Building from here?" ”
"It's not easy."
Under the careful guidance of the aunt, Xie Yutang came all the way to the flavor building, at first I just saw that the appearance of the flavor building was indeed quite decent, but there were not many guests inside, and it didn't seem to be as hot as the aunt just said.
Just beside Xie Yutang, there was a pair of old women who were all there, talking about sluts, not abiding by women's morals, pointing in the direction of the flavor building.
Xie Yutang didn't have to guess to know that they must have said Chi Wan's rumors again, and hurriedly glared at them, and then they left in a familiar way, but before leaving, they were still whispering, and seemed to curse Xie Yutang twice.
In the flavor building, the last few days are particularly free, I don't know when the guests in the flavor building have gradually decreased, and some bad remarks about the shopkeeper can be heard on the street, perhaps it is because of these rumors that the guests in the flavor building will become fewer.
"Shopkeeper, are you really not in charge?" One of the subordinates was upset for Chi Wan, and the shopkeeper of Chi was kind to them, and he was usually cautious in his words and deeds, and he was good friends with the Nine Princes because the Nine Princes were the head chef of the Flavor Building, so there was nothing unseemly hidden.
"Yes, shopkeeper, if the flavor building continues like this, there will be no diners." Another maid also felt unfair for Chi Wan, and the power of the rumors was now obvious to all, "We are willing to help your shopkeeper." ”
"It's okay, don't worry about it, as long as I can clean myself, the rumors will naturally stop abruptly." Chi Wan looked indifferent, and sat on the chair very indifferently looking at the account books of the flavor building in the past few days.
It's not that she doesn't want to take care of it, she really can't manage it, this whole Pingcheng, thousands of people and thousands of mouths, can't control it at all. Gossip is like that, and the only way not to be defeated by them is not to care about them.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and suddenly Xie Yutang walked in, and the juniors suddenly cheered up, he was one of the few people who stepped into the store today, and they greeted him politely: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Guest, sit here, I'll get you the menu." The menu is something invented by Chi Wan, and the names of all the dishes in the flavor building will be written in a book, and that book is called the menu.
However, Xie Yutang ignored them, he looked left and right, looked here and there, and finally locked on the target he was looking for, the girl who was sitting at the table not far from him.
"Wan'er."
This sound made Chi Wan stunned, and then raised her head and saw Xie Yutang's figure.
