Whether it is the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, or hundreds of years later, as long as the son-in-law ascends to the door of the Yue's house, it is the same, and he must give a gift to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Especially if you haven't been there for several years, this ceremony is even more important.

Lu Zhen was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, so the day after arriving in Suzhou City, he went to the city market and bought things.

Fortunately, the goods at this time are not as dazzling as those of later generations, and there are only a few that can be given to the elders, so Lu Zhen doesn't have to bother too much about choosing gifts. I also bought some nourishing medicines, such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, plus some local silk in Suzhou.

However, Suzhou is an important place rich in silk, and Lu Zhen is naturally not good at buying casually, so he ran a few more shops to pick and choose. In this way, half a day of work has passed, and in a blink of an eye, it is already unlicensed.

Just as Lu Zhen carefully selected and compared the silk, a conversation between the two women beside him made him pay attention.

I saw one of them choosing silk and satin, and whispered to his friends around him: "Look at that son, he is actually willing to spend energy on choosing silk here, and at first glance, he is a considerate wife." What a dead ghost like mine, since he married him, he has never been with me well. ”

"Mrs. Jin, you can be content, your master is good enough for you, at least he is not like my family, he always likes to hook up outside."

As soon as he said this, the person in front of him came to talk about sex: "This is also true." But compared to the man named Lu Zhen who is rumored today, your master is not bad. After all, your identity as a master is extraordinary......"

As soon as Lu Zhen heard that the other party actually mentioned his name, he didn't feel that his heart moved, and the movements of his hands were even slower, but he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what the two of them would say. And these two women didn't disappoint him, they just listened to them continue: "Speaking of which, that Lu Zhen is just an ordinary peasant child, and his parents died early, if it weren't for the Chu family to take good care of him for the sake of Weng Son-in-law, how could he be so promising." But he was good, after he became an official, he actually became half-hearted. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that he lost his official position this time, because he had a dispute with the local officials over a woman in Hangzhou, and finally ...... Hey, I really don't know my heart. ”

Lu Jin's face changed slightly, he never thought that there would be such a rumor in this city suddenly, and it could actually fit his current situation to a certain extent. Obviously, this is a rumor created by someone who knows him, and if he expected it to be right, it should be the ghost behind the Yan family's back.

Thinking of this, Lu Jin couldn't help but lean in: "The two ladies are invited, do you recognize that Lu Jin?" How do you know so clearly? ”

"Uh...... Isn't it true that people are spreading this everywhere in the city, and we have heard about it after we came out. Why, Childe, do you recognize that Lu Jin? Mrs. Jin couldn't help but look at Lu Zhen a few times and asked.

Lu Jinyu shook his head hurriedly: "Naturally, I don't recognize him." It's just strange why this matter has spread so quickly. ”

"Hey, this is the case in Suzhou City, some news spreads quickly. Moreover, the Chu family is not an ordinary small family, and everyone always has to talk about it. When the two women had said this, they each chose some silk and departed.

But Lu Zhen watched the back of them leaving, and fell into deep thought. As far as they said, the speed at which the news spread was indeed extremely fast, which made him even more convinced that everything was fueled by the Yan family. Otherwise, it would be impossible for others to deliberately spread the news.

And when he came out and paid close attention to the conversation of the pedestrians on the street, it was even easier to see that there were many people talking about the idea that he had abandoned his wife and found a new love. And some people mentioned that he even did not hesitate to turn against his clan for the sake of women.

After saying this, an image of Se Ling Zhi was completely erected.

What's even worse is that half of these rumors are actually true, such as that there is indeed a woman next to Lu Jin, such as he was dismissed, and then for example, the contradictions between him and his clansmen. Such a statement that the seven points of truth are mixed with three points of falsehood, which is naturally more credible and more difficult for people to refute it.

And this situation also made Lu Jin's mood very uneasy, he really didn't expect that the Yan family would use this trick in order to achieve his goal, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, if he stands up and denies it, not to mention that others are soft-spoken and have no connections in the Yan family at all, even if he can really refute it, I am afraid he will not be able to come up with a decent statement. And at this time, once he goes to the Chu family, the end will be visible.

With a serious matter, Lu Zhen returned to his residence. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Lie and several of them all looking at him with worried eyes, obviously they also knew about the rumors outside.

Especially Yun Yan, she blamed herself even more: "It's all my fault, you actually let Gongzi fall into such an unfavorable situation, how can this be good?" ”

Although he was preoccupied, Lu Zhen would not be angry with the woman in front of him, and hurriedly comforted: "It's no wonder that you, it's the enemy of my own tree, and you're too careless, I didn't expect them to use such a method." ”

"Childe, why don't you have your concubine come forward and explain it to you?" Yun Yan proposed.

Lu Zhen shook his head: "If things were really that simple, it would be easier to do." At this time, whether it is you or me, as long as you stand up and speak, it will only get darker and darker, and let those guys' tricks succeed. ”

"What then? Son, don't you still want to go to the Chu family? Yun Yan asked again, looking at her eager appearance, she seemed to be about to cry.

"Don't be in a hurry. As the so-called rumors stop at the wise, I believe that this statement cannot really be believed by the people of Suzhou City. Lu Zhen could only say things that he didn't even believe very much, and at the same time, his mind kept turning his thoughts to see if there was a strategy to deal with it.

"It's a pity that this thing is too eye-catching and too easy to win people's trust. I'm afraid that even the people of the Chu family will also believe this statement. Qingler couldn't help but sigh.

If it was just the Chu family who believed this, Lu Zhen was not too worried, what he was most afraid of was that even Chu Yunrong believed it, so he really couldn't tell. This rumor-monger does have some skills, and there are almost no flaws in what he says, so he doesn't know where to start arguing if he wants to.

Just as he was sighing, Lu Jin's heart suddenly moved, and an idea came up - now it is impossible to explain or stop this rumor, and he does not have the reputation to do it. However, according to the situation, the rumors were changed again, and some flaws appeared in them, but Lu Zhen still seemed to be able to do it.

After some muttering, Lu Zhen called Qinggele: "Now there is only one way to get out, and that is to completely muddy the water." And you do what I said, give some money and let people continue to spread some rumors. As he spoke, he made up another statement.

When Qingle heard this, he frowned unconsciously: "My lord, if this statement spreads again, I am afraid that your reputation in the city will be completely stinking." How should I explain to the Chu family when the time comes. ”

"Without that, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to them. But with that, it's easy to say. Lu Zhen smiled. At this time, Yun Yan on the side had already understood, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Jin, this man is really powerful, even in such a situation, he can still come up with such a way that is not a way.

She even felt a little pity in her heart, if Lu Zhen really had to separate from his wife this time because of the other party's rumors, then her chance would have come.

Lu Jin didn't know this idea of the woman next to him, so he just patted Qinggrad's shoulder: "Everything depends on you." ”

Qingle nodded solemnly, then took some silver and went out.

Because the Chu family already has some fame in Suzhou, and someone is secretly fueling the troubles, the spread of this rumor is indeed amazing. In just one day's work, the saying that the daughter of the Chu family married a negative person is already known, that is, those ladies and ladies who live in the back house know through the words of the next person.

For example, Chu Yunrong had already learned the news from his mother at this moment. When she heard these rumors, her first reaction was not to believe it: "Mother, this is just someone trying to slander Lu Lang, and my daughter believes that he is definitely not such a person." ”

"Daughter, why are you so dead-eyed? If he hadn't done that, how could there have been so many claims? A man like this is really not worthy of your life, according to the meaning of being a mother, you might as well forget him. Mother Chu still persuaded bitterly.

To be honest, in the past few months, she has persuaded her daughter I don't know how many times, but Chu Yunrong is so determined that no matter what she says, she just refuses to nod. For this reason, the mother and daughter quarreled a lot.

Originally, she thought that there was no hope, but today's rumor that is known all over the city still made Chu's mother confident again, so she persuaded again: "Daughter, although you know that you don't want to hear it, you still have to say it." You don't want to think about it, if Lu Zhen really values you, why didn't he come to Suzhou to see you after coming to Suzhou? In my opinion. He must have a weak heart, so he never saw him. ”

These words hit the nail on the head, and it was Chu Yunrong who had always been obsessed with it, and it made her a little unsure of what to say for a while: "Lu Lang, have you really changed your mind?" Or did you mean that you had a cold attitude towards you before you blamed me......" The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and her face turned a little pale.

Seeing this, Mother Chu could only sigh: "Daughter, you better think about it." Being a mother won't hurt you, compared to him, your cousin still attaches more importance to you! ”
