Nie Pozi dressed up as a peasant woman and went to Xujia Village outside the city.

Because it is the Chinese New Year, the people in the village are idle to visit the family, sitting together and chatting with the east and the west.

Nie Pozi quietly leaned over, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, and asked the people next to her to eat while holding her mouth without saying a word. Within half a day's effort, she was asked to ask some clues from the mouths of these peasant women.

"The first to say this was a blind woman who lived in the west of the village," Nie Pozi talked to Shi Jinxiu about the ins and outs as soon as she came back, "and the Xu family lives in the east of the village, and they almost don't meet this blind woman on weekdays." ”

"I also asked the villagers if the two families had any grudges before, but the villagers said that Xu Li's father and mother were honest farmers in the village, and the blind mother-in-law was a desperate household in the village, and most of the work in the family was done with the help of the neighbors, and she rarely went out except for groping at home every day." Nie Pozi inquired about what she had heard and talked to Shi Jinxiu one by one.

"According to what Mama said, these two families are originally well water and do not interfere with river water, so why does the blind woman say such things that are harmful to others and not good for herself?" Shi Jinxiu listened and muttered.

Generally, rumor-mongers want to achieve an ulterior motive by spreading rumors.

But what is this blind woman trying to do?

"That's what the girl thinks, too, so I went to the blind woman." Nie Pozi said in a condensed voice, "As a result, I found that next door to the blind mother-in-law lives a family surnamed Pang, and the Pang family has a son who is studying like Xu Gongzi!" ”

Shi Jinxiu frowned when she heard this.

She thought of what Xu Li had said before that the money of the peasant children who were studying was funded by the local squire, and Xu Li lost his qualification to be funded by the squire because he did not do well in the previous government examination, and he almost had to give up his studies and go home to farm.

"Is the son of the Pang family also sponsored by their local squire?" Shi Jinxiu thought of a possibility.

Nie Pozi smiled when she heard it.

is worthy of being the person chosen by Lord Yuwen, and with just a little mention of it, she can guess eight or nine without leaving ten.

"As the girl said, the son of the Pang family and Xu Gongzi used to be classmates, but their studies have been inferior to Xu Gongzi over the years." Nie Pozi said, "Back then, Gongzi Xu won the opportunity to study at Fenglin Academy over him, and that Pang Gongzi has always held a grudge against him. ”

"So he's going to spread rumors?" Shi Jinxiu always felt that such a reason was a bit too far-fetched, "Isn't Xu Li already defeated now?" ”

"It's all about this!" Nie Pozi continued, "That Pang Gongzi thought that he had finally defeated Xu Gongzi, and when he wanted to show off, Xu Gongzi brought a large amount of money home, and the people in the village naturally thought that Xu Gongzi was more promising than Pang Gongzi!" In this way, Pang Gongzi is even more angry......"

"I don't want to admit that the other party is better than myself, this is probably the reason why he wants to slander Xu Li!" Shi Jinxiu sneered when she heard this, what is the difference between this practice and the stone coral back then?

These people never think about how to make their lives better, but they do everything possible not to let others live a good life.

As soon as she thought of this, Shi Jinxiu felt that she couldn't let this matter develop like this, not to mention that this matter also involved her reputation.

"Mama Nie, can you accompany me to Xujia Village again?" Shi Jinxiu asked.

"The old woman is willing to listen to the girl's dispatch." Nie Pozi replied with a smile.

Xujiacun said that it was not close, and it was not far away, Shi Jinxiu wanted to go back and forth in one day, but he had to work hard.

Therefore, she left Du Juan at home, and she changed into men's clothes, only took Nie Pozi, and drove all the way to Xujia Village.

It happened that a wealthy family in Xujia Village married a daughter-in-law, and many people rushed to drink the wine, and the whole village was full of cars, so no one paid special attention to Shi Jinxiu's car from outside the village.

"Girl, that person is the son of the Pang family who is studying." Nie Pozi suddenly pointed to a scholar outside the car.

Because there were many cars coming and going in the village, Shi Jinxiu's carriage had to stop on the side of the road to avoid one or two, and he didn't think about it, but he met Pang Gongzi who came to drink.

I saw that this person was very white, dressed in a student's robe, chatting with the people next to him, and he was very high-spirited.

Many villagers saw him and stretched out their hands with him, and it could be seen that he was very respected by the villagers.

"Let's get out of the car and follow him." Shi Jinxiu's purpose in coming to Xujia Village was to question him face to face, so she asked Xiaoshan to find a place to park, and she and Nie Pozi quietly followed the Pang Gongzi into the rich family's house.

Because the rich family runs a flowing water banquet, they just want more people to be lively, as long as they say "congratulations", the family will put people into the house.

There were a lot of people who came to Daoxi, and the twenty Eight Immortal Tables in the front yard were about to fill up soon.

But Pang Gongzi was not in a hurry to enter the table, but groped all the way into the rich man's backyard.

Shi Jinxiu exchanged a look with Nie Pozi.

The backyard is inhabited by female dependents, and men are generally not allowed to enter at will except with the permission of the owner.

Pang Gongzi was so cautious and timid, he knew at a glance that he didn't plan to do anything good.

In order not to lose people, Shi Jinxiu had no choice but to follow with Nie Pozi.

That Pang Gongzi dodged left and right into a side courtyard, in order not to startle the snake, Nie Pozi took a breath of true anger and jumped onto the roof with Shi Jinxiu.

She skilfully lifted a piece of tile and looked into the house, where there was no one but a man and a woman.

The man is naturally Pang Gongzi who has just sneaked into the yard, and the woman is a young woman with a flower letter who is only twenty-three or fourteen years old.

Is this cheating?

Shi Jinxiu asked Nie Pozi with her eyes, but Nie Pozi shook her head gently and motioned for her to continue looking.

The two hid on the roof, and only heard the woman in the house whispering, "Why haven't you come to see the slave's house for a few days?" Is there another person outside? ”

As soon as the woman's voice fell, she heard the Pang Gongzi monkey say urgently: "How come? Only you are my sweetheart, where else can I look up to any other vulgar fan! ”

"Hmph, you men will only coax us women with such words, that bad old man said the same thing to me before, but after only half a year's work, he took another room and left me in the cold in this courtyard, leaving me to fend for myself......" The woman's voice was full of resentment.
