After a few days, the gossip atmosphere in Shuangqi Town became unprecedented.

First of all, it was rumored that a famous prostitute in the five families of Qinglou Shu was pregnant with a certain guest's child, but the guest's family did not allow it to be extinguished, and this matter seems to be inextricably linked with the shopkeeper Li of the jewelry store.

So Shu Wu's business became unprecedentedly prosperous during this time, and people with good deeds went to Qinglou to find out one or two, but Shu Wuniang was vague and didn't say whether the prostitute was dead or alive. When asked whether Li Shen was involved, Shu Wuniang said as if there was something unspeakable:

"Shopkeeper Li...... Don't dare to mention him! I mean...... Maybe it's a false accusation. ”

This was said very delicately, and Shu Wuniang's expression was even more subtle. There are few rich people in the town, and Li Shen happens to be one, so everyone feels that they know the secrets of the "big family", and the discussion about Li Shen has risen: some people say that Li Shen is usually addicted to manufacturing and does not look like a person who can do such things; Some people also say that when a man has money, he will inevitably make mistakes, and he can't help him in five brothels; There are even rumors that Li Shen is actually a broken sleeve, and he has something to do with the man who is good with a famous prostitute, so he would rather be framed, and the plot is as exciting as the book.

After a few days of such discussions, public interest grew, and other versions even emerged. In the end, Li Shen blocked me on the road on the sixth day to deliver medicine to the town.

I looked at him in a hurry and was confused: "What's the matter with Shopkeeper Li looking for me, is it to buy medicinal materials for clearing fire and detoxifying?" Then you don't have to stop people on the street, just go to the Shuangqi Pharmacy. ”

Li Shen gritted his teeth: "Li has a business to discuss with the girl alone." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Yamingxuan and talk." He added, "You pay for the tea." ”

As soon as Dr. Tea put down the last plate of snacks, Li Shen slapped the table fiercely: "What did you say about me outside." ”

I wondered, "What did you say?" I make medicine in the village every day, and Achu also has to farm and fish, so it's too late to make money. ”

Li Shen stared at me, and my face did not change. After a long time, he suddenly sat down, and put his right hand on his face weakly: "Yesterday, the matchmaker came to the door and asked me if I had broken my sleeves and whether I had ulterior motives for marrying Mingzhu." ”

His left hand slowly clenched, "What I like is Mingzhu, I just want to marry Mingzhu alone." ”

"Now it's not Mingzhu who doesn't believe me anymore! What should I do, what should I do...... What do you want from me? You say, you say! Tears flowed down the fingers of his right hand.

He was very sad, but I really lacked the experience to comfort a crying man, so I could only say, "First of all, I made it clear that the rumors did not come from me." At that time, when we discussed with Shu Wuniang, we decided to either provoke you to take the initiative to come to the door, or Achu to pull you out, but this plan has not yet taken shape, so it has not been implemented. ”

"That's Shu Wu......" his voice was a little hoarse.

"Although people have accumulated some power over the years, they can't spread this matter so outrageously in just a few days, where can an old bustard reach this with his hands and eyes." I smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, if you can do this, it is possible for you to be better than her with your old man's foundation." ”

"I'm not old." Li Shen did not forget to issue a word of protest.

"It's my gaffe, you are young and talented." My praise is not against my will, "But Shu Wuniang thought that she was pushing the boat along the water, after all, it was you who married your wife, not her, and you didn't tell her the truth, she would naturally mind." ”

Li Shen did not answer.

"You are not a person who is afraid of things, and you don't spend money like dirt, and the close-fitting jade waist card was dropped, and you actually threw away the stolen goods and did not pursue them? What you say, how can Shu Wuniang be willing to buy your account? ”

"Of course you can insist that this is true, and while I'd love to hear some more convincing reasons, you don't seem to need to call me to me. Since it's none of my business, I'm leaving. I got up to leave.

"The waist card that dropped the bag belongs to the second young master of the Meng family." Li Shen said suddenly.

I stopped and took another piece of mulberry cake: "You go on." ”

"When the Meng family was preparing for the eldest young master to marry two years ago, a large number of various items and jewelry were ordered, and this waist card was originally attached, and it looked inconspicuous in that batch of things, but I remember it clearly."

"But the Meng family's style is extremely strict, even if I recognize it, I don't believe that the second son of the Meng family will do such a conscientious thing, besides...... He was Mingzhu's second brother, and at that time I was just a poor boy who accidentally bumped into the fourth lady of the Meng family on door-to-door delivery, and I was terrified, but Mingzhu was ......."

"Okay, okay, the love story can be stopped first." I took a hard bite of the cake - the ancient dog food tasted really good, "Then Shopkeeper Li is willing to ask your future uncle out to contact and contact feelings?" Of course, you only need to place an invitation, and the contact relationship will be between me and Achu. ”

"The second brother of the Meng family is a scholar and pays the most attention to rules. Girl, you ......."

"You mean I'm unruly?"

"Hmm...... That's not what it means, it's just that girl, you and the other girl in red before are really acting like ...... Deviant. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." I drank the remaining half cup of tea, "But we're going to ask him about things, not to be his husband." The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and there is tolerance, and I believe that he should still be able to tolerate my "irregularity" as a scholar. ”
