Chapter 188: Corrupting Reputation (Part II)
After saying this, Li still looked puzzled, but her intuition told her that the mouth of this woman who usually didn't deal with her was definitely not a good word.
Could it be that something happened to Xu Huaiqing?
Before she could leave, the laughter of several women was heard behind her.
"I really thought she had a lot of scenery on weekdays, who knew that Xu Huaiqing didn't rely on herself to get admitted to Huiyuan, it's really embarrassing, but she doesn't know it yet, as soon as she goes out, she puts on a score, laughing to death."
These words reached Li's ears word for word, and she immediately turned around and walked towards a few women.
"What are you chewing on the base of your tongue? Do you dare to speak loud to others? Li Shi was aggressively inserting his waist, and several women were frightened.
Seeing her unrelenting appearance, the woman was not to be outdone, and said with a stiff neck, "Now that the county has spread the word, Xu Huaiqing's Huiyuan was copied by someone else!" Even the people in the neighboring counties know about it, it's really a shame for us Yunzhou people! ”
When Li Shi heard this, his eyes widened with anger, and he slowed down for a while before he figured out what was going on.
Since Xu Huaiqing became Huiyuan, she followed the neighborhood every day to show off, but now Xu Huaiqing actually made her lose such a big face, thinking of how ridiculous her martial arts just now was in the eyes of others, Li suddenly forgot everything, just thinking about finding Xu Huaiqing and questioning him well.
Today is the day of rest, Xu Huaiqing didn't need to go to the private school, so he stayed in the study with the scroll to read, and suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door, as if it was pushed open by someone.
Xu Huaiqing also lost the mind to read, so he simply closed the scroll and looked at the comer.
Li came in angrily, and as he walked, he was still scolding, not knowing what he was talking about.
Xu Huaiqing frowned slightly, as if he had anticipated the next scene, according to Li's unclear character, after knowing the rumors from the outside world, he would definitely make a big fuss.
Sure enough, Li opened his mouth to make accusations, "I originally thought that if you passed the Huiyuan exam, I could also enjoy Qingfu with you, but I didn't want to go out and be poked in the backbone and laughed at before I had enjoyed anything!" I've been pouring mold for a few lifetimes, and I actually entered the door of your Xu family, this god is really not long-sighted! ”
Rubbing his eyebrows with a headache, Xu Huaiqing didn't explain much, "Sister-in-law, you have been out for a day today, you must be tired, come on, help Mrs. go back to rest." ”
"Don't fake here!" Li impatiently slapped the maid's outstretched arm, "I'm telling you, you have to give me an explanation today, otherwise you won't want to walk out of this door!" ”
Although he had already anticipated the reaction of his family when he was planning to make a plan, he was still a little irritable in the face of Li's difficulties.
"Sister-in-law, I have my own set in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. Don't worry, at most one month, I will definitely give you and the Xu family an explanation. ”
"Hmph, you'd better remember what you said today!" Seeing Xu Huaiqing's convincing promise, it really didn't look like a weak heart, and Li also had a trace of hesitation in his heart. But she didn't want to bow her head to Xu Huaiqing like this, and after snorting coldly, she slammed the door and left.
With a bang, the study returned to calm again, leaving only the swaying door panels, leaving the afterglow of the turmoil.
Bai Jiujiu was purchasing in Linxian County, and suddenly heard a whisper. With everyone constantly pointing and pointing, Bai Jiujiu felt a little like he was on pins and needles.
With her excellent hearing, she quickly figured out what was going on. After knowing that Xu Huaiqing was being accused by thousands of people, she suddenly lost the mind to purchase, handed over all the work in her hand to Liu Fu, and hurried home.
The county is prosperous, full of well-dressed people, and the conversation also reveals education and connotation.
However, Bai Jiujiu didn't have time to appreciate these, let alone ask what the ladies gathered were talking about, all her thoughts were on hurrying. In order to get home as soon as possible, she even abandoned the carriage and galloped directly on the horse.
Especially after hearing that Xu Weishan slandered Xu Huaiqing, the horsewhip wielded in Bai Jiujiu's hand couldn't help but be a little heavier.
With his own understanding of Xu Huaiqing, Bai Jiujiu believed him no matter what, but the others were different, not only did they not understand Xu Huaiqing, but they were also easily misled by rumors.
When Bai Jiujiu was halfway through, he suddenly turned a corner, and did not go back to Xu's house directly, but came to the embroidery workshop quickly.
I don't know why, today's embroidery workshop is a little deserted, there is no such place as in the past, and the sparse guests pointing in the embroidery workshop obviously do not seem to come to buy embroidery.
Bai Jiujiu turned over and dismounted, and walked straight into the store. The guests who were still whispering, after seeing Bai Jiujiu, suddenly lost their voices, lowered their heads in a panic, and looked at the embroidery in their hands in disguise, but they secretly looked at her from time to time, their eyes were full of gossip.
Bai Jiujiu didn't bother to ask these people at this time, three steps and two steps towards the inside, I don't know how many times faster than usual, where is there still a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance, if it is not for the delicate face, it is really easy for people to mistake it for a man.
She walked into the inner room with ease, her delicate brows furrowed together, and her eyes looked very impatient, "Fortunately, you haven't left yet, have you heard about the things outside?" ”
The interior rooms are elegantly furnished, with no particularly delicate ornaments, and a few simple vases are placed on the Duobao grid, which makes people feel indescribably fresh and refined, just like their owners.
At this time, Han Zhaoyin was drinking tea calmly, as if he didn't know the rumors outside, and when he saw Bai Jiujiu coming in in a hurry, he put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he didn't forget to quip, "Didn't you go to Linxian to buy today?" Why did you come back all of a sudden, did you think I was going to swallow your shop? ”
Hearing this, Bai Jiujiu was not angry, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Okay, don't be poor with me." In the end, this embroidery workshop is also supported by you, if you want, you would have taken it a long time ago, will you wait until today? I'm coming to you today because I have something important to ask you for. ”
After a pause, Bai Jiujiu said as if he was embarrassed, "Have you heard of the rumors outside?" I estimated that there was the handwriting of the Bai family in it. During this time, you help me take care of the business of the embroidery workshop, and I will go to find out the truth of the matter, no matter what, I must still have a clean slate. ”
