Chapter 132: Rumors
Ah Yu listened to Xia Yiyun's words, and put down the book in his hand.
Xia Yiyun moved the wooden chair forward again, getting closer to Ah Yu.
There was a question on her face: "Do you have any grudges between Xie Huai'an and Duan Yuzhi?" Why did he go out of the door to show off, and it looked like a villain! ”
Ah Yu sat up straight and said solemnly: "The reason why Xie Huai'an wanted to participate in the dragon boat race before was because of the battle letter given to him by Duan Yuzhi, he won the game, but he didn't see the reaction of the other person, and it was not a matter of course to come to the door to ask the reason!" ”
"What you said is too biased, how did he become a villain!"
While speaking, Ah Yu suddenly thought of what she and Xie Huai'an had said on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
I don't know if it was because she said such a sentence that Xie Huai'an went to Duan Yuzhi first.
Originally, Xie Huai'an won the dragon boat racing competition, and he had already occupied a favorable position, he could have sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for Duan Yuzhi to take the initiative to come to discuss with him, instead of making the first move and becoming the first bird.
Ah Yu didn't believe the rumors that Xia Yiyun said.
She directly defined her words as rumors, some of which may be true, but in general, they must be more false.
After the dragon boat festival passed, Xie Huai'an became famous in the academy.
It's just that he is not a good student in the traditional sense, and he still has the old title of a gentleman, and there are many people in the academy who are jealous of him.
On the matter of half-understanding, half-truths and half-truths are made, and after they spread, it is possible for any kind of rumors to appear.
As long as you vaguely express your dislike for Xie Huai'an and your admiration for Duan Yuzhi when spreading rumors, the final result will always be as some people hope.
Who made Duan Yuzhi's reputation outside the home much better than Xie Huai'an!
The little girl in the courtyard next to her had a high impression of Duan Yuzhi, and she unconsciously favored Duan Yuzhi even more when she spoke. Although they didn't have much malice towards Xie Huai'an, just because Xie Huai'an was on the opposite side of Duan Yuzhi, it was impossible for them to say good things about Xie Huai'an.
From the gossip that Xia Yiyun heard from the small courtyard next door, Xie Huai'an's image was naturally not good.
The words blurted out were naturally a bad evaluation of Xie Huai'an.
She moved back, most of her body tucked into the wooden chair behind her, and smiled apologetically.
It's not an apology to know that you've wronged someone else.
Xia Yiyun's apology was for Ah Yu to see.
Isn't that what those who listen to rumors?
As long as the rumors don't involve themselves, it doesn't matter whether they are true or false.
Discussing gossip with others is not hearted, not in the mind, just to pass the time.
As for the apologies.
That's because she forgot for a while that the rumored Xie Huai'an can be said to be a friend of Ah Yu.
It was inappropriate for her to speak ill of Ah Su's friend in front of Ah Yu.
That's all.
Xia Yiyun waited for a while, and saw that the anger on Ah Yu's face seemed to have faded, so he said tentatively: "So that's the case!" ”
"I don't know what they said, but the facts that came out became like that. Speaking of which, Xie Huai'an's reputation in the academy has become very good because of the Dragon Boat Club, but now that the rumors come out, his reputation is not as good as before. ”
There are two main characters in the rumors.
Since Xie Huai'an is innocent in Ah Yu's eyes, the rest of the other person will naturally not be innocent.
But this time, before Xia Yiyun spoke, she carefully recalled the friendship situation of Ah Yu in her image.
Although Ah Yu never mentioned Duan Yuzhi's name in front of them.
But as far as Xia Yiyun knew, Ah Yu's stepmother was Duan Yuzhi's mother, so when she spoke, she deliberately avoided Duan Yuzhi.
Otherwise, according to her logic, she would definitely have to doubt Duan Yuzhi at the end of her words.
There is no reason for the same rumor, but it only damages Xie Huai'an's reputation!
Ah Yu didn't know that Xia Yiyun had already thought about many things when he said a word.
After listening to Xia Yiyun's words, her hands couldn't help but tremble. Xie Huai'an's reputation became bad because he took the initiative to find Duan Yuzhi, and then there were those things. I don't know if it's because of what she said!
Ah Shen actually doesn't want to be so narcissistic, and blames all the reasons on herself.
However, that day in the Wen Mansion Courtyard, Xie Huai'an was indeed not interested in Duan Yuzhi's follow-up at first, and he only showed a thoughtful expression after listening to her questioning.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged into my heart.
Someone can always take your words to heart and put them into practice, and you happen to know about it, it will probably be very wonderful!
That's what happened to Ah Yu at the moment.
She looked out the window at the intense sunlight and thought she might be doing something.
Even if the situation is unclear for the time being, she should do something!
Xie Huai'an of the men's academy learned about the rumors in the academy.
He was raising children in his small courtyard, and he never thought that rumors about him would suddenly arise in the academy.
Unexpectedly, the boys who had teamed up with him to participate in the dragon boat race suddenly came to him, saying that his reputation in the academy had been ruined.
He was still a little puzzled by this.
As for the things he did in Kyoto before, although what he did was not evil, he had no reputation at all. Even if after the dragon boat meeting, he was praised by the emperor for winning the first place in the dragon boat race, and some people in the academy also had a slight favor for him because he raised the reputation of the White Horse Academy, but he would not have any expectations when the foundation was there at the beginning.
Whether his reputation is good or bad, he really doesn't care that much.
When bidding farewell to his friends, Xie Huaian also said indifferently: "To be honest, what do you want such a good reputation for a gentleman like us!" ”
"We are not scholars, and we will not be officials, relying on the family to make a living, as long as we don't do things that violate the law and discipline, and we usually cause less trouble, it is enough. Whether reputation is good or bad, that's what others need to care about, what does it have to do with us! ”
Few of the people who intersected with Xie Huai'an were self-motivated.
There is an elder brother in the family who can act as a pillar, and as long as they don't have a whim to compete with their brother for family status, and don't go out to do things that violate the law and discipline, then the small life can naturally be lived satisfactorily.
In these years, how can there be people who don't want to live a good life, but want to live a hard life!
The people who kindly came to remind Xie Huai'an that they were all friends of Xie Huai'an, and they had been together for a long time on weekdays, and even the way of thinking about problems was similar.
Naturally, it was easy to be persuaded by Xie Huai'an.
When the outsiders in the courtyard had already left, Xie Huai'an returned to the room, squatted down, and hugged Mao Mao, who was playing with Luban locks.
Compared with Mao Mao, he can be said to be a huge disparity in size.
However, it is such a big man, but he has to bury his head in the child's arms, so that the children have nowhere to put their hands.
Mao Mao glanced at the Luban lock in his hand, it was a gift from Ah Yu last time, and he was reluctant to throw it on the ground, so he put it on his left hand.
The free right hand touched Xie Huai'an's hair twice, and Maomao coaxed people very gently, "Obedient, obedient ......"
It was all Xie Huai'an's words that coaxed him on weekdays, and now it has been returned.
Xie Huai'an raised his head, looked at the furrowed eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing directly.
After laughing, he sat directly on the ground, and pulled Mao Mao, who was standing on one side, to sit on the ground.
Mao Mao made a face and tried to get up from the ground, but someone held down his shoulder, like a little turtle, and he pulled it several times, but he never got up.
After struggling for a long time, Mao Mao simply gave up struggling.
The child sat on the ground, staring at Xie Huai'an tightly with a pair of swarthy eyes, and in the corner where the sun couldn't shine, he was a little weird for no reason.
Xie Huai'an didn't notice this.
He pressed one hand on Mao Mao's shoulder, and the other hand naturally hung down at the knee of his bent right leg, his eyes looked at a certain point in the void in front of him, and whispered: "I said that I don't care about the quality of my reputation, it's true." ”
"But it's one thing not to care, it's another to be unhappy."
Xie Huai'an doesn't care about the quality of his reputation, it doesn't mean that others can't care.
In the past, when he was in Kyoto, whenever he did something outside, it caused some rumors, either Master Xie or Xie Huaining, and one of the two would always appear in front of him to teach him a lesson.
As for whether the rumors are true or not, they don't care.
So far, the only exception has been when I met Ah Yu that day.
The White Horse Academy is too far away from Kyoto, and Master Xie still has to report to the official office every day, even if he wants to come, he doesn't have time.
What's more, he may not know about it.
The rest is Xie Huaining, who is also in the academy.
I don't know when he will appear in front of him this time!
Xie Huai'an didn't like the lessons from his brother at all, especially when he thought he hadn't done anything wrong.
The waiting time is always extraordinarily painful.
The night passed.
Xie Huaining still didn't come.
Xie Huai'an, who had been worried last night and couldn't sleep well, had a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes and asked Mao Mao, who still didn't know about the world: "You say, my brother doesn't know about those rumors in the academy?" Or is he no longer uncommon in disciplining me? ”
Although he really didn't like to listen to Xie Huaining say things to teach people, once Xie Huaining really showed a trend of not wanting to continue to discipline him, he was still very flustered.
Unexpectedly, there was no reply.
Xie Huai'an picked up Mao Mao and slapped it twice, "Mao Mao, you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently, I think you should eat more when you eat today!" ”
After taking the child out of the inner room, and after washing up again, I walked in the direction of the cafeteria.
Along the way, you can see many scholars holding books and reading.
Even in the White Horse Academy, there are some people who like to cram.
Xie Huai'an remembered at this time that the Dragon Boat Festival had passed, and he was about to usher in another ten-year exam, and after the ten-month exam was over this time, it would be time for a holiday.
Regarding Xie Huaining's unusualness this time, Xie Huaian also had a reasonable speculation.
His brother isn't the kind of guy who sharpens his guns, but he's all there is to every game.
Xie Huai'an thought about Xie Huaining, the reason why he didn't show up was maybe he was preparing for the exam, anyway, this is not without precedent.
There was a new explanation for Xie Huaining's abnormality in his heart, and Xie Huai'an also relaxed a lot.
After breakfast, when he took Mao Mao to the school, he looked no different from usual.
Even the two black eye sockets were rolled through the hard-boiled eggs, and there was basically nothing unusual about them.
On the other side, Ah Yu learned from Xia Yiyun's mouth that the rumors in the academy had changed completely.
The previous rumors of Duan Yuzhi and Xie Huai'an are outdated, and now it is widely circulated in the library building of the academy.
The old gentleman guarding the library building was the famous Tian Daru, which was something that everyone in the academy had already known.
The point is that yesterday someone borrowed a book from the library, and when he registered with Tian Daru, he was given an invitation written by the mountain chief himself, saying that he could use the invitation to go to the Wen family in Kyoto and check the original manuscript of the book he borrowed.
Most of the books in the library are very valuable, but they are all hand-copied editions by later generations, and there are no original manuscripts.
After the man was given the opportunity to view the original manuscript of the book, the academy learned that the library of the White Horse Academy, in addition to the building rules on the surface, also had hidden building rules that needed to be triggered by chance.
It is said that the mountain chief would draw a book every day in the library, and the reward would be determined according to the origin of the book.
If the original manuscript of the book is in the Wen family, then the reward given by the chief is to be able to view the original manuscript.
But if the winning book is a lottery, and the Wen family does not have an original manuscript, it will be exchanged for other rewards.
Whether it is a one-on-one teaching by the mountain chief himself, or the handwritten calligraphy and painting of a certain celebrity in the world, or a simple gift of an unlimited amount of silver taels, all kinds of rewards, anything is possible.
Of course, if the book drawn by the mountain chief that day is not borrowed by others, then the reward written by the mountain chief will also be emptied.
There are nearly 10,000 books in the library, and there is no rule in the selection of books by the mountain chief, so since the establishment of the White Horse Academy, only one lucky person yesterday can get the reward of the mountain chief.
However, this has a lot to do with the fact that the building rules are hidden.
Ah Shen is very pleased with this.
Rumors are only spread by people who are idle and have nothing to do.
If you want to correct the content of the rumors, the difficulty is almost as high as that of Qingtian.
Ah Yu knew that people's hearts were fickle, and she couldn't make everyone forget the rumors between Duan Yuzhi and Xie Huai'an, but she could create a bigger rumor, another rumor that people would be more willing to discuss.
In this way, people discussed the later rumors, and as for the previous ones, naturally no one mentioned them.
It just so happened that my grandfather was worried about the library building before, and Ah Yu had been thinking about whether to become the brick that led to the brick, and now although she did not become the brick, she also found the 'brick'.
Everything is just right!
