Chapter Ninety-Six: Don't Destroy My Name
"What? You said that Song Shizi gave Yan Ran's little slut pastries? β
Yan Yao slapped the table hard and got up, her eyes flashing with jealousy.
Huaxiu hurriedly replied: "Yes, there was a little girl who accidentally knocked over the pastry and was reprimanded by Qingxuan." The slave maid heard her say with her own ears that the pastry was given by the prince of Xuanping Hou. β
Since seeing the fate of Mama Liu and Yun Sleeve, the subordinates of Qionghua Courtyard have behaved in a proper manner, and they no longer dare to have any thoughts of betrayal.
In addition, with Xianluo, Xuanqing and others, the Qionghua Academy is tightly controlled.
This time, the painting and embroidery finally found out the news of Qionghua Academy, so he hurriedly asked Wen's for credit.
Wen was very calm, she put down the tea cup in her hand, and said slowly: "It seems that Song Shizi accepted this marriage. β
Yan Yaofu sat down again, gritting her teeth hatefully: "That slut, how can she be worthy!" β
Wen seemed to be smiling, and said faintly: "She is naturally unworthy, and Song Shizi will also know that she is not worthy." β
Qionghua Temple.
"Girl, why did you deliberately spread the news that Song Shizi gave you pastries?"
Qingxuan added a cup of tea to Yan Ran and asked puzzledly.
Yan Ran's face was calm, and she said lightly: "Song Xinhong won't show favor to me for no reason, I guess, maybe my father said something to him." β
Qingxuan quickly reacted and whispered, "Huh? Could it be that the master intends to marry you to Song Shizi? How good is that? β
Yan Ran chuckled, her eyes cold: "Do you think the Wen family will be willing to let me marry into the Hou Mansion?" β
Qingxuan suddenly realized: "Girl, the slave understands!" You are borrowing Wen's hand to refuse this marriage! β
Yan Ran smiled but did not speak.
A few days later, the school was dismissed.
Yan Ran was about to get into the carriage, when she suddenly heard an excited voice belonging to a man behind her: "Sister Ran'er!" Sister Ran'er! β
Yan Ran stopped, turned to look, and saw a man in a gray linen robe running over with a burden on his back and a look of excitement on his face.
Seeing that the man was speeding all the way and had no intention of stopping, Xuan Qing immediately blocked in front of Yan Ran.
He put his palm on the man's chest and asked with a calm face, "Who are you?" How dare you run into my girl? β
Although the man had a dark face and seemed to be powerful, he was not the opponent of Xuan Qing, a practitioner.
He was blocked by Xuanqing and couldn't break free, so he could only poke his head out and shout at Yan Ran: "Sister Ran'er, it's me, Li Qian!" β
Yan Ran was expressionless, and said coldly: "I don't know." β
Seeing that Yan Ran refused to recognize him, Li Qian was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Ran'er, I am your second brother!" When you were young, you lived in Xinghua Village, and my mother and your mother were good friends, and we often played together. My mother and your mother also ordered a baby kiss for the two of us, don't you remember me? β
Li Qian's loud voice roared out, causing many students who had just come out of the academy to stop and look at it with inquiring faces.
Qingxuan was a little surprised, looked at Li Qian's somewhat familiar outline, and said to Yan Ran: "Girl, that person seems to be really the Li Erniu we knew before." β
Li Qian also saw Qingxuan and said in surprise: "Are you Xuan'er's sister?" It's so much whiter than when I was a child, I almost don't recognize it!"
Li Qian didn't mean anything about this, but he said this kind of thing to a girl in public, but it was inevitable that he would be suspected of flirting.
Qing Xuan's face flushed, glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? β
At this time, the crowd of onlookers also began to discuss.
Since Yan Ran rescued Zhen Yu and was appointed by Emperor Sheng as the leader of last year's autumn exam, she has become famous, and her life experience has also surfaced.
Everyone knows that she came to Anyang City with her grandparents and mother when she was six years old, and she lived in the countryside before.
Now, this former playmate came to her, and kept saying that the two had been engaged to a baby, and people believed in this kind of statement.
After all, her mother is from the countryside, and there is a custom of getting married early in the countryside, so it is normal to betrothal her early.
But she didn't admit it, and she couldn't help but be regarded as a person who hated the poor and loved the rich, and was unkind.
Yan Ran didn't care what others said, and got into the carriage.
Li Qian thought that Yan Ran didn't recognize him, and wanted to catch up, but was restrained by Xuanqing, so he could only shout loudly at the top of his voice: "Sister Ran'er, Xu has grown up and her appearance has changed a little, so you won't recognize me." But I didn't lie to you, I'm really Brother Erniu! β
Qingxuan listened to Li Qian still yelling outside, and gritted her teeth angrily: "Girl, that mountain village man is really vulgar and ignorant, how dare he say anything without holding back?" β
Yan Ran was there, so she found a comfortable position to sit and ordered, "Qingxuan, open the window." β
Qingxuan held her breath, but she could only do what Yan Ran said.
Yan Ran lay on the car window, supported her cheeks with one hand, and called casually: "Li Erniu." β
Li Qian's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly waved his hand in response: "Hey, it's me, Sister Ran'er, do you remember me?" β
Yan Ran raised her voice and said, "You just said that my mother and your mother have engaged us?" β
Li Qian nodded hurriedly: "Mm-hmm." β
Yan Ran asked: "Can you exchange Geng posts?" β
Li Qian replied very simply: "No." β
Yan Ran asked again: "Is there a token as proof?" β
Li Qian still shook his head: "No." β
Yan Ran asked again: "There is nothing, how can we prove that we are engaged?" β
Li Qian paused for a moment, and then said solemnly: "A promise, since they have this promise, this matter is naturally counted." β
Yan Ran said: "First, whether my mother has said this, I don't know, but it's a matter of marriage, if you can't show evidence, I can't admit it casually." Second, my mother has been an ancient man for many years, and my marriage should be decided by my father, and it is not my turn to admit it, let alone your turn to say or not. Third, let me ask you, have you ever studied? β
Li Qianzheng was stunned by Yan Ran's questioning one after another, and suddenly heard her change the conversation, and replied slightly proudly: "I have read it, Mr. praised me for reading well, and recommended me to take the children's exam!" β
Yan Ran nodded, and said earnestly like an elder to a junior: "Since you have studied, you should know etiquette." Regardless of whether the engagement is true or not, when you come to the city, you should first go to Yan's Mansion to visit my father, instead of looking for me privately, and you should not shout about the engagement everywhere before the matter is decided, which will ruin my reputation. β
Yan Ran's voice was peaceful, but Li Qian's heart was shocked, and he was startled by the words "bad my name".
Li Qian was stunned and looked around, only to find that there were many people pointing at them.
Only then did he realize that this was not the countryside, and for the sake of livelihood, the defense of men and women was not so strict.
This is the capital city of Anyang, red tape, strict etiquette.
Men and women are talking alone on the street, and they are still looked at sideways, let alone talking about marriage in public?
Li Qian's face immediately turned red, not only for his shallow ignorance, but also for the reputation of Yan Ran: "I, I...... I'm sorry, Ran'er...... No, Miss Yan, it's abrupt. β
Li Qian said, took a few steps back, and made a salute to apologize.
Qingxuan said angrily: "I've finished pouring dirty water on the girl, and I don't know how to be arranged!" Now what are the apologies, is it useful? What did you do earlier! β
As she spoke, she pulled Yan Ran back and slammed the car window.
Xuan Qing let go of Li Qian and drove away in the carriage.
The crowd of onlookers also dispersed, but they still talked about today's farce.
Some people think that Li Qian wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, after all, he doesn't even have a token, why should he believe that what he said is true?
Naturally, some people think that Yan Ran dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and now that she is the daughter of a high-ranking family, she doesn't recognize the poor fiancΓ© in the countryside.
on the carriage.
Qingxuan was worried: "Girl, this Li Erniu was found by the Wen family?" Just like before, she came to Kang Da to slander Mrs. Xian? β
Yan Ran smiled slightly, and said amazingly: "No, I found it." β
"What?!"
Qingxuan was shocked and puzzled.
In the previous life, in order to prevent Yan Ran from marrying Wen Chengyan, the Wen family did everything.
The Wen family framed Yan Ran many times, and the two things with the greatest impact were: one was to slander her that she was no longer innocent, and the other was to coax this Li Qian to make Yan Ran fulfill the marriage contract with him.
At that time, Yan Ran hated Li Qian so much, feeling that he was bought by the Wen family, and he ignored the friendship of the chief horn when he was a child, and forced her to a desperate situation.
Wen's step by step approached, Yan Ran was tired of coping, and was disheartened for a while, and even had a soft thought.
But later, Li Qian realized that he was used by the Wen family, and he was very ashamed of Yan Ran, so he actually made his will clear with death and left a blood letter to prove Yan Ran's innocence.
Although his actions were heroic, he did bad things with good intentions.
After all, there is no proof of death, and others have different opinions, but they feel that they are not clear about each other.
Later, Yan Ran and Wen Chengyan finally got married, but Li Qian's death became a shadow over their lives for a long time.
Perhaps the beginning of this heavy marriage has laid the foundation for her unhappy life.
Li Qianqi is actually not a wicked person, but he is simple and stupid, and he is easy to be led by the nose.
Yan Ran has memories of her previous life, and she has the experience of the previous Wen family's purchase of Kangda, thinking that the Wen family will use Li Qian sooner or later.
Since this is the case, why don't she simply take the initiative to push Li Qian in front of the Wen family and let her use this matter to make a fuss.
Anyway, people and things are in Yan Ran's hands, which is better than not knowing what tricks the Wen family will make, and having to work hard to break the game.
Outside the school hall, Cui Jingshi quietly left from behind the crowd and asked the maidservant Yueying beside her, "What happened just now, can you see it clearly?" β
Yue Ying said: "Yes, the slave can see clearly. β
Cui Jingshi looked at her: "You know what to say, right?" β
Yueying immediately crackled nonsense: "The eldest girl of the Yan family was in the countryside in the early years, and she made a baby kiss with Li Erniu in the same village. In this country, there are no rules, and they don't avoid suspicion. The two of them have established a relationship, and they should get along as husband and wife, take a nap on a quilt, and sleep until they are older! The folks in this township, the village and outside the village, who don't know that the two are a couple! Later, this Yan girl came to Anyang to look for relatives, and as soon as she became the daughter of an official family, she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and she didn't recognize her fiancΓ© in the countryside. This person came to the door, but she was so humiliated that she forced people to almost commit suicide in shame! β
Cui Jingshi listened to Yueying's casual arrangement, and a cold and satisfied smile appeared on her face.
