It was clear that Xie Chen was the person concerned, but he was not angry at all.

"They actually gave me two choices, let me go to the ancestral hall to reflect, or go home to reflect." Xie Chen doesn't have much memory of the capital, but he misses the days in Jinguancheng very much, "I went to the capital to study, but I didn't rush to be bullied." ”

"Besides, the gentleman in the clan studies likes to watch the dishes and dishes, and the ability to teach people to read is not as good as Mr. He, and I can't learn anything with him, so I might as well go back to Jinguan City!"

Since it was Xie Chen's own choice, Yan Juan didn't say anything more.

Xie Chen took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve pocket: "Sugar fried chestnuts made by Aunt Zhang, you can taste it, do you still like it?" ”

Waiting for Yan Juan to take the oil paper bag, she said to her again: "I went back to Jinguancheng yesterday, and I was not in a hurry to enter the house, so I found a teahouse on the street and sat for a while, but I heard that the people in the teahouse were talking about your family......

To be more precise, he is talking about Yan Juan's family affairs.

Yan Juan doesn't like to go out, and the gossip she usually hears is inquired by Yuqi, and when Yuqi is not by her side, she doesn't know what's going on outside.

And she came to Ganlu Temple three days ago, so how would she know what kind of rumors are in the city now!

She knelt on the futon, clumsily peeling the sugar and fried chestnuts, and before the slightly warm chestnut meat was in her mouth, she heard Xie Chen's question, and raised her head very blankly.

Say, "My family's business? What can happen in my house? ”

Yan Wan put the chestnut back into the oil-paper bag, put the oil-paper bag aside, and then folded her hands and counted it.

"Daddy is on an errand in the government, so it shouldn't have anything to do with him. My mother and eldest brother went to my grandmother's house, and they have been gone for a long time, and it has nothing to do with them, and there are only me and Ah Zhao at home. Look at you so carefully, the words of those people must not be very good, and the person who is being said is still me! ”

Xie Chen nodded.

"Last year, the city reranked the four talents, and a foreign student named Cheng Huan topped the list. Those people in the teahouse actually put you and him together, saying that the two of you have a marriage contract, but you don't know it, and look down on Cheng Huan for having no father or mother, so they took advantage of the absence of the elders at home to withdraw the marriage......"

Although the conclusion of the matter is true, there is still a big gap in the process in between.

Yan Wan frowned, wondering how the news leaked out.

Xie Chen saw that Yan Juan did not refute, and the look on his face suddenly became very strange.

After a long while, he asked out loud, "Do you really have a marriage contract with Cheng Huan?" ”

"There used to be some, but now it's not." Yan Wan stuffed a piece of chestnut meat into her mouth and said indifferently.

She saw Xie Chen frowning, thought about it, and told everything that day.

"I also learned that I had a marriage when he came to ask for a divorce, fortunately he came to withdraw first, otherwise when the future is decided, I want to withdraw from the family, I'm afraid it won't be so easy......"

The little girl in front of her was still smiling stupidly, not taking the rumors he had just said seriously at all.

Xie Chen no longer worries about the existence of the marriage contract, but is dedicated to holding up grievances for Yan Juan.

"It's clear that he came to ask for a resignation, but now everyone outside is saying that you have no eyes. According to what you just said, the matter was discussed in the Yan Mansion, and in addition to a few of you, the two little maids in your courtyard who knew about this matter, they were both born of the family, and they didn't have the courage to tell outsiders about the affairs of the main family, and the person who leaked the news could only be from his side! ”

"Taking advantage of the absence of the elders at home, it is already a big mistake to come to the door to coax you to quit your relatives. If you don't restrain the people around you, the news of your resignation spreads, so that outsiders can reverse black and white, and slander your reputation, which is even worse. ”

A wise man is not swayed by external objects, nor does he argue about a person's rights and wrongs based on rumors alone.

However, after all, there are many fools and few wise people in the world.

Xie Chen and Yan Juan have known each other since childhood, and they don't take the rumors from the outside world seriously, but those who don't know Yan Juan will get lost in the rumors, don't distinguish the truth, and just think that she is as short-sighted as the rumors say.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen took the sugar-fried chestnuts in Yan Juan's hand and knocked lightly on her head.

Quite helplessly said: "The young lady should go back earlier and tell Uncle Yan everything about Cheng Huan, so it is better to correct her name outside earlier!" ”

He really thought about Yan Juan, so he told her so much, and Yan Wan also had his own careful thoughts.

When I didn't know that there was such a person as Cheng Huan earlier, Yan Juan's fellowship with the ladies in the city was already full of scriptures, and anyone who mentioned her would say that she was devoted to Buddha.

As a result, few people will mention her family affairs.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand which elder is willing to give his children and marry back a wife who only wants to be with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for a long time!

Yan Qian had only eaten breakfast for a long time, and she was not hungry at this time, so she didn't chase Xie Chen to get her sugar-fried chestnuts back. She winked at Xie Chen, smiled and said, "It's not bad to have a bad reputation!" ”

"What's the good of a bad reputation?"

Xie Chen subconsciously asked back, a little unhappy that Yan Qian despised her like this.

But he heard Yan Juan continue: "Others don't know, but Xie Chen, you must know." ”

"I don't even have my own life, so how can I live up to the expectations of others? Whether it's as a wife or as a mother, I don't think I can do it. ”

Yan Juan sighed and said, "In the past, when I smiled a little more arbitrarily, I would remember that the lake water was exceptionally cold that winter. Even now, my mind hasn't changed. ”

I was the one who survived, and that couldn't have been worse.

She didn't finish the words, Xie Chen helped to complete it in her heart, who made the two of them have similar thoughts from the beginning!

"Don't you feel aggrieved?"

Obviously, things are not as rumored to be, but they are stubbornly branded with an unbearable reputation, don't you really feel wronged?

The Buddha bead wrapped around his wrist suddenly slipped down, Yan Wan pinched it and looked at the Buddha statue in front of him.

said: "As long as the people I care about will not look down on me because of rumors, what other people think, and what does it have to do with me!" ”

The most affectionate person will, at some point, also be the most ruthless person.

Seeing that Yan Juan had already begun to read the scriptures, Xie Chen did not continue to ask, he already knew Yan Juan's answer in his heart, and it became unnecessary to ask.

The sound of Qingyue's scriptures has never been interrupted in the side hall.

After a long time, Yan Juan suddenly looked at Xie Chen beside her: "I just seem to have heard you call my young lady again!" ”

"Is there anything wrong?" Xie Chen looked at him suspiciously.

His name for Yan Wan is sometimes even a surname with a surname, and sometimes he calls her Wanwan, and the young lady is Yan Juan's milk name, and he has called her many times in the past.

"There's nothing wrong with that," Yan Wan shook her head, "It's just that no one has called me by my name for a long time." ”

"I don't really like the name either......"
