Chapter 24: Farewell to Zhu Yan
After listening to Xie Mengting's narration, Cheng Zhong already had a bold and absurd assumption in his heart: the versatile teacher had undeserved feelings with beautiful female students in the process of teaching and couldn't extricate himself. The father of the female student was resolutely opposed and even killed because he looked down on the poverty and disability of the male teacher.
To cover up the crime, he disguised the poor male teacher as a beggar and pushed him into the river of fat powder in an attempt to cover up the crime.
Cheng Zhong has such an idea, purely because of the film and television works of later generations, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in film and television.
The young ladies of large families are generally raised in the deep boudoir before leaving the cabinet, and they can't be seen, but the situation of the Xie family is different.
Xie Mengting has a son and a daughter, and his son Xie Jiangbo is nineteen years old and is a brother; Daughter Xie Sicun is only 17 years old this year. In order to let his son concentrate on studying, Xie Mengting didn't let Xie Jiangbo get started at all in business, and Xie Mengting was getting older and his energy was declining, so the family's business naturally couldn't be taken care of by no one, so many things naturally had to fall on Xie Sicun's head.
This Xie Sicun, although she is a daughter, she seems to be born to be the "material" of doing business, and she has taken care of the Xie family's business in an orderly manner, and has become Xie Mengting's indispensable right and left hand.
Xie Mengting generously asked the housekeeper to go to the backyard and ask Xie Sicun to come out and meet.
Regarding Xie Sicun's debut, Cheng Zhong is somewhat looking forward to it. After all, this is the first time he has seen a deep lady from a large family, and he really doesn't know what it will look like. But when he saw Xie Mengting's figure, Cheng Zhong was a little discouraged, even if this Miss Xie was as beautiful as a fairy, with a weight of 200 catties, I am afraid it would make people lose their appetite.
The sound of Huanpei sounded, and the fragrance filled his nose, and Xie Sicun walked into the room.
At this moment, Cheng Zhong was stunned all of a sudden. It's not that his concentration is too bad, but because he's seen this woman!
On the bank of the Guangfulin River that day, the Yiren sang on a canopy boat, and their peerless faces were deeply engraved in Cheng Zhong's mind, and he never forgot them.
I thought that a quick glance had used up the fate that the two of them had cultivated for five hundred years, but what I didn't expect was that I could still meet here!
"The folk girl Sicun has seen Lord Hai." Xie Si Cunying made a salute, elegant and natural, and knew at a glance that she was used to seeing big scenes.
"Miss Xie is exempt." Hai Rui said lightly. At the same time, he glanced at Cheng Zhong, but he was surprised that Cheng Zhong's eyes were stunned, and he almost didn't shed a sigh, what a shame!
couldn't help coughing and said, "Cheng Zhong, I've seen Miss Xie." "
Yes! Cheng Zhong woke up, quickly stood up, and saluted.
"It's you?!" Xie Sicun had a look of disgust on her face, it was obvious that she also remembered a hurried glance at Guangfulin City, his hot, undisguised eyes were simply a red fruit fruit's disciple! I didn't expect him to be related to the new county order.
"Sister, don't look at Brother Cheng's age, but it is the case of this county examination, the county is tall, knowledgeable, and beyond the reach of his brother, he admires him, a veritable young talent." Xie Jiangbo hurriedly introduced, hoping that Cheng Zhong's appearance could dilute that person's influence on Xie Sicun.
However, Xie Jiangbo's introduction not only failed to make Xie Sicun have a good impression of Cheng Zhong, but on the contrary, it made Xie Sicun feel a little disdainful in his heart - he climbed to the high branch of the county, and if he wanted to do a county test, it was not like probing for things? As for what county magistrate, such pediatric tricks can deceive others, how can they deceive themselves? Compared with him, he is really thousands of miles behind!
Although Xie Sicun could cover it up, Cheng Zhong still saw that Yiren had no feelings for him at all. It's not just that I don't feel it, it's just disgusting.
Cheng Zhong didn't know what he had done wrong, causing Xie Sicun to be so disgusted. But since she has such an attitude, Cheng Zhong will not stalk her, and insist on sticking her cold ass with her hot face, just a beautiful woman who thinks she is!
"Miss Xie, I just heard from Ling Zun that Du Chongde taught Miss Danqing?" Hai Rui asked.
"Exactly!" Xie Sicun said: "Mr. Du's Danqing attainments are extraordinary, and the little girl admires them very much, although she studies hard, she still can't match Mr.'s chance!" Xie Sicun said with admiration on his face, and this confirmed Cheng Zhong's suspicions.
Just now, Xie Jiangbo tried his best to help himself advocate in front of his sister, I am afraid that he wanted to use himself to influence Xie Sicun's love for someone. And who this person is is probably self-explanatory.
Students are most likely to have this kind of admiration for their teachers, and this feeling is likely to turn into admiration and eventually into love. I'm afraid that Xie Mengting is also because of this, so he can prevent the slightest and kill Du Chongde, right?
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhong looked at Xie Mengting and felt more and more that he was like a feudal patriarch and a ruthless murderer!
If Xie Mengting is a murderer, will Xie Jiangbo be implicated?
Although he and Xie Jiangbo have not known each other for a long time, they still have a good impression of this frank and honest rich young master. I really didn't expect this to happen!
"Miss Xie, can you please take this county to Mr. Du's bedroom to have a look?" Hai Rui said.
"Of course you can, but Mr. Du happened to be out at this time, and he hasn't returned yet, I'm afraid the adults will have to leave empty." Xie Sicun said.
Listening to Xie Sicun's words, Cheng Zhong couldn't help but feel a little pity for this girl, she still didn't know that the lover she admired in her heart had died in Huangquan! Of course, faintly, Cheng Zhong also has a slight sour heart that good cabbage makes the pig arch.
"It doesn't matter." Hai Rui said.
Xie Mengting and his son were supposed to accompany him, but Hai Rui refused.
Du Chongde's bedroom is in the west courtyard, about 20 square meters in size. The room is elegantly furnished, with several orchids hanging on the walls on all four sides, which should be by the same person from the style of painting.
"These paintings were all painted by Mr. Du?" Hai Rui looked at these orchids carefully and couldn't help but nod secretly. This Du Chongde Danqing wonderful pen is indeed very skilled, and it is no wonder that Miss Xie is so respectful.
Cheng Zhong is not proficient in painting, so he generally looks at it. His behavior naturally fell into Xie Sicun's eyes, and he was even more contemptible.
"Yes, these are Mr. Du's works. My husband loves orchids, and almost all of his paintings are orchids. Xie Sicun said.
"Then why doesn't he keep a few pots of orchids in his room?" Cheng Zhong glanced at the room, and he didn't even find a pot of flowers.
Xie Sicun seemed to be a little annoyed that Cheng Zhong interrupted her words, and turned a deaf ear to his question, and silently should not be.
Hai Rui nodded and said, "This question is exactly what this county is curious about. Since Mr. Du is an elegant person, why not keep a few pots of orchids in his bedroom and be close to him at all times? "
"Sicun hasn't asked Mr. about this, and he doesn't know very well." Xie Sicun said: "If Lord Hai wants to know, you can wait for Mr. to come back and ask him face to face." "
"This ...... I don't think anyone wants to ask him any questions in person. Cheng Zhong said with a strange expression.
"What do you mean?" Xie Sicun was respectful to Hai Rui, but unceremonious to Cheng Zhong.
"Cheng Zhong, don't be rude!" Hai Rui stopped Cheng Zhong from talking. Then he asked Xie Sicun: "Does Mr. Du have any family?" "
Cheng Zhongxin said: This question is a bit embarrassing. Du Chongde is over half a hundred years old, and he is a man, of course, he has already married his own son, maybe there are a lot of children. And this Miss Xie is obviously in love with him, isn't this asking to pour salt on her wounds?
But to Cheng Zhong's surprise, Xie Sicun's face did not show the slightest expression of pain, and he thought about it and said: "I heard that Mr. had a family when he stayed in the capital, but he separated later. Mr. came to Huating two years ago, and he has never returned to see his family, and no family has come here to look for him. "
"That's right." Hai Rui's face showed a pensive expression.
"It's strange, since he has no family here and hasn't been back, do you know where he's been for the past two days?" Cheng Zhong had a problem from Xie Sicun's words.
Hai Rui nodded secretly, since seeing Xie Sicun, Cheng Zhong seemed to be a little distracted, but the question asked was very crucial.
To Cheng Zhong's embarrassment, Xie Siyun ignored him at all.
"Miss Xie, this is also a question that the county wants to ask." Hai Rui had to say.
Xie Siyun said at this time: "Since Lord Hai has seen and asked, Sicun will naturally answer all questions. Although Mr. does not have a family in Huating, he will go out every once in a while, and each time it will be as short as one or two days, and as long as three or four days. This time, the gentleman has been out for two days, and he must be coming back. Perhaps he will be able to meet him. "
Cheng Zhongxin said: Come back? If he does come back, then I won't see him!
"Then does Miss Xie know who Mr. Du hangs with every time he goes out?" Hai Rui asked again.
