Chapter Ninety-Seven: Silly Girl! Goose!
This earth-shattering scene on Wende Bridge came and went quickly.
A greeting evolved into such an incident, the second son of Zhao was beaten and fainted, and the people sent by the Zhao family to greet the relatives were basically all injured, plus the shouting before Shen Yue jumped into the river just now, the only housekeeper who was still intact did not dare to make a mistake, gathered the rest of the people, and even forgot to say cruel words to the Shen family, and the people retreated in a hurry.
And among the remaining people of the Shen family to send their relatives, because the eldest young master of the Shen family is still confined at home, and the rest of the Shen family members have not arrived because of Zhao Ergongzi's arrogant words in the Shen family, those family members who have found nothing after entering the water can only obey the words of the steward right of way. One dialed back to the Shen family to report the news, the other went to Yingtianfu to check the truth, and the other hired a boat to salvage along the river.
As for the onlookers, they still refused to disperse, most of them who had just jumped into the water to save people were moved by the right of way who came to thank them in person, patted their chests and joined the search and rescue again, and more people stood on the shore in twos and threes, some pointed and poked, some imagined, some shook their heads and admired a good martyr, and some bowed their heads and regretted an idiot.
At this moment, Xu Xun, who had already changed into dry clothes, took Rayson and Ruyi to a two-story lightboat by the river. The river is lively, but these lightboats are quiet, and those who salvage know that these dazzling lightboats at night are not occupied during the day, so naturally they will not come to disturb them. Compared with the other lightships on the left and right, this two-story painting boat is not surprising, not only is the layout small, but the hull even has some traces of repaired paint, and there is a quiet inside. Xu Xun, who had stood for a while, turned his head to look at Xu Liang in the carriage not far away, saw him nodding, and suddenly jumped onto the boat unexpectedly.
"Anyone!"
It was obviously broad daylight but as soon as he opened his mouth like this, the spotted bamboo door curtain on the ground floor cabin was immediately lifted, and a pointed head poked out, but it was. The man stared at Xu Xun vigilantly for a long time, and then smiled: "In broad daylight, the girls are still resting in the building, and the son should come back in the evening......"
"I'm the nephew of Gonggong Zheng, the Nanjing garrison, and I'm talking to you in charge!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Xun vaguely heard something, and suddenly looked up.
On the second floor of the lightship, he had just changed into dry clothes, and Shen Yue, who had just wiped his hair, heard the familiar voice below, and couldn't help but have an itchy nose and sneez. Seeing Li Qingniang's strange expression, she couldn't help muttering angrily: "This dead guy, he is talking about people again, talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, when will he become Gonggong Zheng's nephew again!" ”
Li Qingniang walked to the window, saw the soulless Ruyi on the shore through the gap in the window, and suddenly remembered the chaotic scene before, and had palpitations for a while, and immediately turned her head and said: "Miss, although I don't know how they found it, but everyone is here, and Ruyi is also down, I'll go down and take a look." ”
Shen Yue hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, let Ruyi come up, don't let him come up!" ”
Xu Xun at the bow of the boat argued with the man for a while, and finally got impatient. Just as he almost wanted to break in, the spotted bamboo curtain was raised high again. As soon as that face came into view, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and he didn't care about anything else, so he rushed in straightforwardly. Li Qingniang instinctively stretched out her hand to stop her, but when she saw Xu Xun's hair messy, as if she had just washed it, she was stunned. When she was in the water just now, she was just taking care of Shen Yue, and she didn't notice anything else, let alone that Xu Xun was also among the people who went into the water to save people. As soon as she lost her mind, her hand was blocked, and she watched Xu Xun pass by, and staggered upstairs with a word.
"You two are too careless to leave water stains on the bow of the ship!"
"Ahh......h
Upstairs, Shen Yue, who was sitting there, couldn't stop sneezing one by one, and when he was wiping his nose with thin paper, he suddenly heard a loud bang on the floor, and then saw a person rushing upstairs, who else but Xu Xun? Seeing that Xu Xun suddenly stood up, she just looked at herself directly, she was a little hurried for a while, and it took a long time before she blurted out: "You...... How did you get up! ”
Seeing that the little girl who had always dressed as a woman dressed as a man was just draped in a half-dry hair, and the makeup on her face was cleanly washed, there was no kind of evenness without powder, Xu Xun couldn't help but look at it, and when he heard her ask, he remembered the purpose of his visit, and couldn't help striding forward, just standing in front of her and looking condescendingly.
The little girl was furious by Xu Xun, and couldn't help but sneer: "What do I ask you?" ”
"How you jumped into the river, how I got up!" Xu Xun saw that the little girl was stunned for a moment, knowing that she didn't really see herself the moment she entered the water, and suddenly yelled at her angrily, "Do you know how dangerous it was just now, and if you do your best, you don't know that a good swimmer is drowning?" If you had told me earlier that it was you who was married, I would have been trying to make things difficult, and I would not have listened to you and chose to welcome my relatives in the Zhao family...... Whether it's greeting a family or jumping into the river, what if you make it happen? ”
Thinking of that possible surname, Xu Xun shuddered for a while, and when he saw the little girl looking at him aggrievedly, he couldn't help but be angry, and he couldn't help but knock a chestnut date on her head.
"You stupid girl! Why didn't you say it to me earlier! ”
"I'm not stupid!" Shen Yue stood up with his head in his hands, although he was half a head shorter than Xu Xun, he still stubbornly raised his head and looked directly at him, "I know you have arranged everything, but what if something goes wrong with that Yu Hao, that bit of documentary evidence can impress Lord Yin Wu of Ying Tianfu?" So I asked my godmother to gather all the people who had been harmed by the Zhao family, took all my self, went to settle their families, and bought enough rations for half a year, so that they came out to complain. The matter is so big, if I don't take care of this matter before jumping into the river today, will I still let my father and the Shen family carry the black pot? ”
"Then you can let me do this before......"
"If you want to do it, you have to make a big deal, you haven't always done that!" Shen Yue glared at Xu Xun without giving in, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I jumped into the river, as long as they can't find me and think I'm dead, the Zhao family will take this life, plus so many people are suing together, and the momentum you created, Gonggong Fu will not let go of this opportunity." The Shen family's accusations are all true, if Zhao Qin bites to death, even if he falls, my father will not be pleased, and my grandmother, my mother, and my eldest brother will also be implicated. I jumped, others are always embarrassed to investigate, and no one will point to the Shen family in the future and say that it is the in-laws of the criminal official Zhao Qin......"
"You keep saying that the Shen family, as well as your father, do you know that your plans are going to succeed, and after your jump today, you won't be able to go back to the Shen family!" Xu Xun suddenly pressed her shoulder heavily, and said word by word, "Once you show up again, countless dirty water may be poured on you, and the Zhao family is even more likely to break the jar and ruin your reputation, and those charges of the Shen family will also be recalled!" ”
"I know, of course I do." Shen Yue gradually lowered his head, his shoulders twitched slightly, "Since I said those words on the Wende Bridge, I didn't think about going back. My father has raised me for so many years, I don't want to marry into that kind of family, but I can't affect the Shen family. As long as I jump into the river and take over this matter, those clear streams will always have to weigh the word martyr, and I won't chase after the Shen family's little mistakes, so that their reputation will be tarnished, and Gonggong Fu should be thoughtful, and my family will be saved. As for me, as long as I leave Nanjing, as long as I stay incognito......"
"Silly girl, do you know how difficult it is for a woman who has no family to rely on in this world?"
Seeing Xu Xun calling himself a stupid girl again, Shen Yue couldn't help but raise her head angrily: "Don't look down on people, without the support of the family, I can also do things!" Let me tell you, I asked my mother to pawn my jewelry to open a rice shop very early, and now the jewelry has been redeemed, not to mention, a rice shop has become three, and now I have hoarded a lot of rice, and throwing it out is the boss! ”
Xu Xun didn't expect that the little girl was not saving private money, but doing private business, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Okay, you can do it, but have you thought about it, your business is done, you have more money, can you have a shopkeeper and so on to have bad intentions?" Will there be those opponents who covet your business in the future and make up their minds from it? Moreover, in the past, if you lost these, you lost a little money, and the Shen family could rely on, but now if you lose these, what foothold will you have? ”
Seeing that the little girl was unconvinced to her face gradually darkened, Xu Xun couldn't bear to hit her again, and suddenly changed her words and said: "Then again, do you really plan to hide it from your grandmother, father, mother, and eldest brother and make them heartbroken?" ”
"I ......"
"If you don't want to hide it from them, then I'll go to them. Next, if you move them, I will go to Yingtianfu to sue Zhao Qin in the name of your fiancé! actually killed my fiancée and jumped over the Qinhuai River before she passed the door, I don't step on him and never turn over, I won't be surnamed Xu! ”
"Who's your fiancée!" The little girl's face turned red when Xu Xun said this, and she blurted out such a sentence, and then she thought that Xu Xun was still holding the marriage book in her hand, and she couldn't help but snort lightly, but she shook her head for a long time and said, "When the time comes, just let Ruyi send a letter to my grandmother." She is sick in bed, maybe she can't stand it, as for her father and eldest brother, if they believe it, they can also make outsiders unable to see the flaws. As for family affairs...... It is impossible for me, Miss Shen, to come back in the future, and it will not do you any good to admit this matter. Second Master Xu is kind to his father, and his father owes you after all, so I will pay it off this time. ”
"If the benefits are not good, you don't have to care, I have my own way. As for what paid off the bill, you are embarrassed to say, you caused me to jump into the Qinhuai River today! ”
The little girl raised her head suddenly, and then remembered that she had only jumped for a while, Xu Xun found the boat, and found that his hair was wet, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his sideburns, and then suddenly retracted her hand, her eyes gradually turned red, and she murmured softly.
"Goose!"
Although she discussed and planned with Li Qingniang in advance, although when she lived in Jurong when she was a child, she used to sneak out with Li Qingniang in the middle of the night to swim in the nearby river in the middle of the night, and the surname Shui was very good, although her words were impassioned, although she was ready to cut off her relatives, but when she really jumped, she still had an indescribable disheartenness. Thinking of the moment she entered the water, Xu Xun was so close that she jumped down to save her, she couldn't say anything, and subconsciously reached out and hugged him.
This sudden warm fragrant nephrite was in his arms, Xu Xun was stunned for a moment and let her lean on his body and sobbed softly, and after a long time, he pushed the little girl away a little, and naturally raised his hand to wipe her tears rolling down.
"So, don't say anything that is not in debt. The two of us are entangled in their accounts, I can't pay yours back, and you don't want to pay off mine. Leave the rest to me, as for you, the Shen family and the Zhao family may immediately search the river, this lightboat can't stay for a long time, first go with Mother Li to find a proper place to live, so as not to cause extraneous branches. ”
