Chapter 20: Gossip
Wei Yun didn't know that the prince was on demand, and he already knew the trap in the treasure map.
She and Lin Mo returned to the Wei Mansion in a happy mood, and after Lin Mo sent her, he took the initiative to say goodbye.
Wei Yun was about to walk to the Wei Mansion, when suddenly an old man selling sugar gourds passed by, looking at the two of them with a simple face. The old man rubbed his hands, raised his eyes to look at his sugar gourd shelf, and took a string of eyes to look at Wei Yun.
There are not a few people like this who are working hard to make a living in the capital, and Wei Yun has seen a lot of them in the capital in the past few days. But selling sugar gourds to the door of the general's mansion, this old man is the first one.
Wei Yun was about to say that he didn't eat sweets yet, when he suddenly saw a hand stretched out on the side, took the sugar gourd in the old man's hand, and handed over a few copper coins.
Lin Mo was a little helpless and stuffed the sugar gourd in his hand into Wei Yun's hand, as if he was covering up something, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not easy for the old man to do a small business, just take care of his business." ”
After saying this, Lin Mo hurriedly walked away and waved goodbye from afar.
Wei Yun stood in place with the sugar gourd, laughed for a long time, and then gently took a bite of the sugar gourd. The sweet and sour taste spreads from the tip of the tongue to the heart, which makes people feel a lot better.
Finally coaxed Yu Yaoxi, Wei Cai'er, who came back in a hurry, saw Wei Yun standing in front of her door with a sugar gourd eating, and couldn't help but say disdainfully: "Standing at the door and eating this cheap thing, aren't you ashamed enough?" ”
Hearing this, Wei Yun glanced at the sugar gourd in her hand, and then looked at Wei Cai'er's angry appearance, knowing that she was deliberately mocking herself.
"This is in front of the Wei family, and I won't quarrel with you, just ask you...... Is Miss Yu good to coax? Dropping these words, Wei Yun smiled lightly and walked towards his yard without looking back.
Wei Cai'er was so angry that she jumped on the spot and scolded, and her image was lost for a while. After being talked about by others, she reacted and hurriedly ran to the mansion.
But Wei Cai'er couldn't bear this breath, she walked in the courtyard and suddenly turned her steps to find Wei Junbao to provoke.
Xiaobao was still young, and Wei Caier only took a few candies and coaxed him into a daze. Under the deliberate lure for this reason, the two came to the front of Wei Yun's courtyard, and happened to see Chuntang walking over with something in his hand.
When Wei Cai'er was watching Chuntang coming, she suddenly quietly pushed Xiaobao, and at the same time grabbed Chuntang and said loudly: "What are you doing this girl, didn't you see knocking the young master down?" ”
Xiaobao stumbled, looked at the red palm, and was angry and annoyed for a while.
In addition, Wei Caier said next to him that he was a young master, and Chuntang was just a slave. Xiaobao's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he actually learned from his grandmother to teach the slave maid and gave Chuntang two slaps.
Xiaobaoren has little strength and little strength, and the beating is naturally not heavy, but the slap is extremely humiliating. Not to mention that Chuntang is still the big girl in Wei Yun's yard, and those little maids secretly watched when they were beaten. Chuntang has lost face, how will he discipline others in the future?
When Wei Caier was full of pride, she suddenly heard a sentence "stop".
Wei Yun came out to take a look, and found that Xiaobao, who had been drunk by herself, still had an unwilling look on her face, and she didn't look ashamed. She frowned, although she knew that Wei Cai'er was making trouble behind her back, but looking at her half-brother's unsuccessful appearance, she felt helpless for a while.
In ancient society, there were more things that men could do. Xiaobao, as the young master of the Wei family, will support the Wei family's court in the future, how can he be arrogant and unsuccessful?
"Xiaobao, apologize to Chuntang!" Wei Yun frowned, and reprimanded sternly.
But Xiaobao raised his head and spread out, his palms were red, and he said indignantly: "I fell just now, and I blame her, so I won't apologize to her!" ”
Wei Yun glanced at Wei Cai'er who was standing on the side, and heard Chuntang crying that he hadn't touched Xiaobao at all, and was passing by with something when he was suddenly caught by Wei Cai'er.
Wei Yun saw the vague smugness in the corners of Wei Cai'er's eyes, and guessed that this matter was inseparable from Wei Cai'er. She looked at the place where Xiaobao fell and Chuntang's footprints, and found that the two were far away. And Chuntang walks with his hands flat with things, and it is impossible to bump into Xiaobao.
These evidences were pointed out, and Xiaobao also knew that he was wrong to blame Chuntang. Although he still couldn't figure out why he suddenly fell, his face was already showing a look of weakness.
"But I'm the young master, why should I apologize to her as a maid?" Xiaobao muttered, as if the more he spoke, the more courageous he became, and finally looked at Chuntang with his head raised high.
Wei Cai'er was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and added fuel and vinegar to the side, and said: "Originally, how can there be a rule in this world for the young master and the maid to accompany the crime, that is, the grandmother in our yard beats a maid, and she will beat it!" ”
Listening to these crooked theories, Xiaobao seemed to have received support, and Wei Yun had a headache.
"Wei Cai'er, shut up, Wei Junbao is the young master of the Wei family, don't use your outside set at home!" Wei Yun glared at Wei Cai'er fiercely, a flash of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but it scared her all of a sudden.
It is really unbearable to deliberately instill this theory in children and harm the seedlings of the motherland!
After thinking about it, Wei Yun suddenly flipped his hands and pulled out a handkerchief. She didn't speak, her hands kept changing, and from the rolled up handkerchief appeared all sorts of amusements.
Pearls, candies, copper coins...... The sudden appearance of these small bits and pieces dazzled Xiaobao and aroused his interest.
"Sister, how did all this come about, obviously your hands were empty just now!" Xiaobao looked at it with some greed, feeling that this was like the fairy law in the story.
Looking at Xiaobao's appearance after being attracted by magic, Wei Yun pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "If Xiaobao wants to know how I did it, you have to apologize to Chuntang first!" ”
Hearing this, Wei Cai'er on the side frowned, and was about to speak but was stared at by Wei Yun. Thinking about Wei Yun's technique just now, it was no wonder that Xiaobao was eaten to death.
Xiaobao hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart. A touch of grievance flashed on his face, and he reluctantly walked to Chuntang's side and said, "I'm sorry!" Sister Chuntang, I shouldn't beat people indiscriminately. ”
Seeing Xiaobao admit his mistake, Chuntang's eyes widened and he hurriedly stepped aside. Although she was confused, she didn't dare to accept the young master's courtesy, after all, the humility was there.
Wei Cai'er looked at Xiaobao angrily, and when she wanted to say something to continue to provoke, she suddenly saw Wei Yun's eyes smiling. If you want to say that the person who can make Xiaobao wrestle and get closer to Xiaobao, there is only Wei Caier.
Wei Yun was about to open her mouth to expose Wei Cai'er's tricks, when she suddenly heard Wei Cai'er hurriedly tear away the topic and say: "Forget it, it's just a maid, and only you Wei Yun can account for so much!" ”
Saying that, Wei Cai'er glanced at it with slanted eyes, and said: "I went out today and heard a lot of rumors, saying that the Wei family caused a lot of notoriety because of your affairs, and now everyone is saying that the Wei family and the Lin family are highly meritorious, so that the emperor is helpless!" ”
When Wei Yun heard this, she was suddenly shocked.
How could it be, the truth of the matter is obviously that the emperor bullied the heroes and suppressed the Wei family and the Lin family again and again...... Wei Cai'er watched with satisfaction as her words changed the topic, which shocked Wei Yun again.
Out of show-off, she told all the news she heard from Yu Yaoxi.
In those rumors, the Wei family and the Lin family simply had a disobedient heart, and even embarrassed the emperor in the court many times. She Wei Yun and the prince are not clear, and they are involved with others, so they will be rejected for marriage.
One person spread a hundred, and it didn't take long for the Wei family's reputation to plummet.
Seeing that Wei Cai'er didn't feel the seriousness of the matter at all, Wei Yun frowned, someone like this who didn't care about the family's reputation at all would be a big trouble sooner or later! But before dealing with Wei Caier, it is more important to quell the rumors from the outside world in time.
If the rumors from the outside world are allowed to run rampant, it won't be long before the reputation of the Lin family and the Wei family will become stinky, and the people's admiration for Jiangmen will also turn into spurning.
No, since the emperor used such insidious and despicable tricks, then she also has to fight back!
Thinking of this, a flash of determination flashed in Wei Yun's eyes. She bent down and laughed with Xiaobao, coaxed Xiaobao and told him to study hard, and then tell him the secret of magic when he memorized three poems.
Xiaobao made a fuss for a while, but seeing that Wei Yun was unmoved, he could only be helplessly led down by the maid.
"When I memorize three poems, you must teach me how to play!"
Watching Xiaobao walk away, Wei Cai'er, who didn't get any benefits, left, Wei Yun called Chuntang into the room and took out a silver ticket from under the dresser.
The face value of this silver ticket is only ten taels of silver, which is not valuable money, but it is enough for a family of three to live in the capital for two years.
When Chuntang saw this silver ticket, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously asked, "Miss, do you have anything you want to buy?" ”
Wei Yun shook her head, but instead told Chuntang the rumors she had arranged, and then asked her to use this silver ticket to buy beggars in the market. Hearing that these rumors involved the emperor's oppression of heroes, Chuntang was so frightened that he hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to agree.
She stared at the silver ticket handed over by Wei Yun, and persuaded her like a mosquito: "Miss, if the emperor knows about this, our family will eat and hang!" ”
It's as if they were slaughtered by others, and the emperor didn't plan to do it!
Wei Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes, her tone was a little heavier, and said, "You just say if you can do this matter directly, if you can't do it, then I'll go in person!" ”
Seeing Wei Yun so resolute, Chuntang panicked and took away the silver ticket in her hand.
"Go! Naturally, it can be done," Speaking of this, Chuntang's eyes closed, revealing a little bit of death, "That is, if the slave and maid are caught by the people of the government, the young lady must put aside the relationship with the slave and maid, and say that it is the slave and the maid's own idea!" ”
Hearing this, Wei Yun couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Chuntang, this little girl is really loyal!
