Chapter 53: Rumors

Zheng Yuanheng watched Chu Yuqin take the tea and snacks away.

When he looked back at Ling Shengyi again, his expression became strange.

"She often brings you tea?"

"Any questions?" Ling Shengyi asked.

"Of course there is a problem." Zheng Yuanheng looked at him closely. "Yuqin, this girl ......"

"She's not your girl anymore."

Ling Shengyi interrupted him.

Zheng Yuanheng immediately changed his words.

"Yes. Miss Chu is unmarried, she is pretty and lovely, and you live so close to each other, and even have a good relationship to the point of building a new house together, no matter who comes to see it, it will feel strange, right? ”

"In what capacity did Brother Yishu say these words?" Ling Shengyi looked at him lightly. "Miss Chu is already free. You can't even be called friends. ”

So, there's no need to meddle around, right?

"Alright. I'm here to see you. ”

Zheng Yuanheng looked around.

"It's so noisy, how can you read a book? Why don't we go to the city and have fun! ”

"Not interested."

"A few friends have made an appointment to go out on horseback, let's go together! Stay in the countryside all day reading and become a nerd sooner or later. ”

"Not interested."

"Brother Hua!"

Zheng Yuanheng dragged Ling Shengyi away.

Ling Shengyi got into the carriage, looked at the courtyard next door, and said to Old Man Zheng: "The matter of the house is troublesome Miss Chu to help me keep an eye on it." ”

"Yes." Old man Zheng responded respectfully.

After Zheng Yuanheng and Ling Shengyi left, the rumors in the village quickly dispersed.

Yu came back from outside, his eyes were red.

The dirty laundry in the tub was only half washed and had not yet been washed.

"Mother......

Chu Yulan sensed that Yu's mood was wrong and looked at her with concern.

"Who bullied you?"

Chu Yuqin happened to pass by, listened to Chu Yulan's words, and rushed over to take a look.

"What's wrong?"

"Mother cried." Chu Yulan said worriedly.

"Those people in the village said that Zheng Gongzi is here and wants you to go back to be a maid. I argued with them a few words, and they said something nasty. Yu wiped away tears.

"Mother, our family's life is getting better and better, and there are more and more people with red eyes. When the yard is built, let's dig a few wells at home, and we don't have to listen to their sour words. ”

"My mother is not afraid of being wronged, but she thinks those words are too ugly. You are still a big girl who has not married, if you are affected by these gossips, what will you do in the future? ”

"Mother, I have said more than once that the mouth grows on other people's mouths, they love to say, so let's say it. Life is what we have to live. How we go depends on our decisions. No matter how jealous others are, no matter how ugly they say, it will not affect our lives. If the person I like has a different opinion of me because he hears these gossip, it means that he is not my lover at all. ”

"If you weren't a good person, you would have a hard time in this life. That being the case, is there anything to lose for me to miss someone like this? ”

Old man Zheng came over and said to Chu Yuqin what Ling Shengyi meant.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." Chu Yuqin said to Old Man Zheng, "Are you busy with lunch at noon?" Ask a few aunts in the village to help! ”

"No need. I can do it alone. Old man Zheng refused with a smile.

It's market day again. This time, Chu Dashan didn't make bamboo tools, so he didn't enter the city.

The Yu clan wanted to stay and take care of the family, and did not go to the city.

Chu Yuqin took Chu Yulan and Chu Butterfly into the city. The ox cart was also driven by Chu Yuqin. Although it is not as smooth as Chu Dashan, it is no problem to get on the road.

"Last time I went to the market, why didn't your stepmother let you go?"

Last time, she said that she would take Chu Butterfly into the city, but she temporarily missed the appointment.

"My brother is sick. She asked me to take care of him! Chu Butterfly said: "Also, she suspected that I had saved private money, and searched my room inside and out, which frightened me." ”

"Fortunately, my sister didn't give you all the money, and if she finds out, it will be a big trouble."

"Yes, I still have to keep it with you in the future."

at the bazaar.

"Little girl, you're here at last. Have a surplus of balm today, right? ”

"I didn't make much cream, only ten small bottles today. I made a perfume, though. If you like, a bottle of silver or two. ”

Chu Yuqin opened a few bottles of trial packs and introduced the perfume to the people who came around.

"It tastes very good."

"I love the floral scent."

"I love the mint flavor."

A bottle of perfume for a tael of silver was sold out. In addition, the extra cream was also sold out.

"Sister, that person still didn't come, it seems that he regretted it." Chu Yulan said.

"It doesn't matter. The things are in our hands, and even if we regret it, we don't suffer. ”

Chu Yuqin cleaned up the things on the stall.

"Isn't this Miss Yuqin?"

A sedan chair stopped in front of it.

The people in the sedan chair lifted the curtain and looked at the few people outside, their eyes stayed on Chu Yuqin's body.

It was a feminine woman.

She wears delicate makeup, and the whole person is charming and charming.

"After leaving the Zheng family, you actually started to set up a stall. What is being sold? ”

Chu Yuqin searched for this woman's information in his memory.

Jasmine.

Dusty woman.

Speaking of which, she has no grudge against this Jasmine.

She is a woman raised by Zheng Yuanheng's father outside. Once when Zheng Yuanheng took her and Rouge out of the house, he met Jasmine and Master Zheng, Zheng Yuanheng questioned on the spot and was slapped by Master Zheng.

Zheng Yuanheng was so angry that he burst away.

She and Rouge immediately chased after her.

As for how she would have known her name, it was either heard from their conversation at the time or inquired about it later.

Thinking clearly about her identity, Chu Yuqin raised a light smile.

"Miss Jasmine, I sell face cream, which is to take care of the appearance."

Jasmine looked at Chu Yuqin's cheek.

"Is this what Miss Chu uses?"

"Yes."

"Then give me a few bottles."

Chu Yuqin introduced several types.

"Give me three of the biggest bottles to try."

Chu Yuqin picked up the largest cream and handed it over.

"What does it smell like on you?"

Jasmine sniffed and found that the fragrance came from Chu Yuqin's body.

Chu Yuqin smiled: "It's a jasmine-scented perfume." ”

"Is this something you're selling?"

"Yes. But it's out of stock today. ”

"Keep me a bottle next time you sell it again!"

"Okay."

"You're a wonderful person."

Jasmine chuckled.

"I didn't expect the Zheng family to have an interesting woman like you."

"I'm not from the Zheng family." Chu Yuqin corrected it seriously. "My surname is Chu, and I belong to the Chu family."

"Then Miss Chu, I'm looking forward to meeting next time."

The sedan chair went away.

Chu Butterfly looked enviously in the direction of the sedan chair.

"Sister, she's so beautiful, if only I could be so beautiful."

"Beauty is sometimes not a blessing, but a curse."

Chu Yuqin touched Chu Butterfly's head.

"Pack your things, that's all for today. I'll show you around. ”
