Chapter 14: Reputational Damage
"You don't remember? So how do you think your reputation was ruined? Yan Lang said.
This time, he was not only confused but also dumbfounded: "My reputation is ruined? ”
Did she do anything out of the ordinary before she fainted? She was suspended because of this? Is the sister-in-law crying and crying affected by her? What's the matter with Yunyi? At this moment, Xian Chen's head was full of questions, and he almost knelt down to beg Yan Lang to make his words clear at one time.
Yan Lang knew that he had lost his words and wanted to make up for it, but how could he resist the skill of the dusty man, so he had to explain honestly.
It turned out that Yunyi really saved her that day, and carried him back to the women's lounge, where he happened to be bumped into by the female guests. For a while, public opinion arose, saying that Xian Chen, the daughter of the boudoir, had been hugged by a man, and the person who hugged her was not an ordinary person, she was one of the best nobles in Wu Kingdom, and she was a match for the princess, and she would never take a concubine. And all the children of the official family know that she has a skin-to-skin relationship with a man, and she doesn't dare to ask for it, and she is afraid that she will die of old age in the future, and for a while, many people's sympathy for Xianchen was born.
There are also rumors that Xian Chen deliberately pretended to be faint to win the sympathy of Yun Gongzi, otherwise how could she, a daughter of a third-grade official family, ask the court to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, it must be that Yun Fu used the relationship. It's just that Mrs. Yun is so wise and wise, she has already seen through the tricks of the little maid, and there is absolutely no way to let the little maid enter the door. The image of the scheming woman was confirmed by them in a few words.
After listening to the rumors, Xian Chen didn't want to pay attention to it, and just asked, "Is it really him who saved me?" ”
Yan Lang: "Well, I also gave me the jade plate of Yunfu, and invited the imperial doctor to heal it, otherwise my sister may have been powerless." ”
Xianchen: "You said he took a leave of absence?" ”
"About seven days after the accident, he suddenly took a break from school, and it has been seven or eight days." Yan Lang thought of Yunyi's expression at that time, and felt inconvenient to ask, so he had to swallow his words back and go to say something else to divert the topic.
It is rumored that Northern Chu and Ba intend to form an alliance, covet the rich products of Wu, and intend to invade. Ning Zhe invited himself to send an envoy to Pakistan to break the alliance, and when he left, he also made a military order.
Another thing is that Yan Lang went to fighting with someone and actually got acquainted with Master Ji, the richest man in Wu State. Although Master Ji is nearly forty years old, he is proficient in cockfighting, cricket fighting, watching horns, and kicking and bowing, and he can play with young people very well. As the only son of the Ji family, he has not married yet, and he lingers in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion all day long, and spends a lot of money when he is happy, but he has never redeemed himself for any woman. In short, he is an unscrupulous weirdo, but Yan Lang is very close to him and praises him.
Xian Chen was so worried that he didn't want to listen to the content at all, and it was not easy to ruin his interest, so he had to respond in a daze, until Xiao Yu'er came and said that Aunt Jiang called her back for dinner before leaving.
During the banquet, Xianchen did not feast as usual, but absentmindedly stirred up the dishes. Aunt Jiang didn't speak, and in the end, Xian Chen couldn't help but speak first: "Mother, am I the sister-in-law who is burdened?" ”
Aunt Jiang sighed and said, "More or less, if something like this happens to the woman in the family, the female dependents will inevitably be talked about outside." ”
Xianchen: "Isn't the mother angry with her daughter?" ”
"It's not your fault, you can't choose who to save you, and it's not that person's fault, he saved people with good intentions." Aunt Jiang paused and said: "You don't have to care about these things, people who know you and you don't care about these false courtesies, if you don't know and don't understand, it's not a good thing not to marry for life." ”
Xianchen never thought that his mother, a person who couldn't leave the Buddha hall in three steps and was accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern all day long, was so open-minded that many men in the world were far beyond it.
Aunt Jiang said again: "It's just the same, your mother and sister-in-law have endured a lot of rumors and pressure, and you have to make up for it." We...... Don't make trouble for the Yan family anymore. ”
Xianchen was slightly surprised, Aunt Jiang's words faintly revealed some alienation and apology. looked at his own mother in the candlelight, and he couldn't understand it. After the meal was closed, Grandma Sun led someone in to rinse her mouth and clean her hands, and Aunt Jiang went to the Buddhist hall to do evening classes again. Only Xianchen and Xiaoyuer are left.
Xian Chen said worriedly: "I really can't figure out how to be in such a situation." ”
Xiao Yu'er: "What is Miss talking about?" ”
Xianchen: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered someone." ”
Xiao Yu'er: "That's simple, take a leave of absence with your wife, and let's go to play with her." "Xiao Yu'er just thinks that Xianchen remembers which lady hasn't seen for a long time.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Xian Chen really came up with this idea boldly, but he couldn't go openly, otherwise Yan Fu would really have no face to see people. However, this matter has to be considered in the long run. Just thinking that the eldest girl beside Mrs. Xiao came over, Xian Chen hurriedly got up and greeted her, "Why did Sister Rose come here so late?" Did my mother have dinner? ”
Rose said, "Madame has just finished dinner and prepared refreshments, let the third lady go over and use some together." ”
"Well, I'm thinking about the tea in my mother's room, I'll change my clothes and leave." said that Xian Chen had asked Xiao Yu'er to change into a powder blue skirt, comb her hair in a regular bun, and bring a dragonfly to the water. Xianchen rarely dresses himself like this, and it suddenly makes people's eyes shine, she is already slender and graceful, and then she looks slim and graceful like this, and I feel sorry for her.
"The third lady should have dressed up like this a long time ago, and the lady must like it when she sees it." Rose was happy to see that she was finally willing to put her heart into herself.
"Sister Rose laughed at me again, let's go quickly, don't let my mother wait for a long time." When Xianchen walked, he still had a gust of wind, and the instantaneous elegance disappeared.
On a summer night, the sky is full of stars, the frogs in the pond are calling, the insects in the grass insects are not lively, and the three of them are talking and laughing and are even more lively. Mrs. Xiao was sitting at the round table and drinking tea, with all kinds of snacks on it, all of which were Xian Chen's favorites. Seeing Xianchen come in with a smile, and dressed up so handsome, he couldn't say how happy he was for a while.
"Today, this girl is thinking about pampering herself, she really looks good, tomorrow I will order someone to make you a few dresses, girls wear riding clothes every day, which lady is like this?" Mrs. Xiao's eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
Xianchen saluted: "Okay, just listen to my mother." My mother came to me so late, but what was the matter? ”
Mrs. Xiao: "Have you been to see your sister-in-law today?" ”
"I went, but my sister-in-law rested and couldn't see me."
Mrs. Xiao said with all her thoughts: "She is happy like this, don't be surprised." Pulled Xianchen to sit down and eat tea together, and said: "I'm afraid she won't have the spirit to Zhang Luo Zhongyuan Festival this year, I haven't been clean recently, and I can't do it, so I have to entrust this matter to you." ”
This unexpected appearance made Xianchen not know what to do, and he didn't know what his sister-in-law wanted. Mrs. Xiao understood her careful thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "You can do it, your sister-in-law has me on the side." It's time for you to learn something about housework, and it's not the right thing to spoil you. ”
"Yes." Xianchen knew that this was Mrs. Xiao asking her about her long-term plans, but she didn't feel a warm heart in her heart.
Coming out of Qinfang Garden, Xiao Yu'er and another second-class maid who Mrs. Xiao had dialed over to help followed behind Xian Chen, holding a stack of account books and records. I used to eat, drink and play every day, and I never asked about family affairs, but I didn't know that it was so troublesome to do just one thing. Although there are old files from previous years to check, how to employ people, how to budget, and how to adjust according to the new situation are all things to learn.
It seems that in the half month of the Midyear Festival, it is impossible to rest. It's just that...... Xianchen thought that she had one more thing, something she thought was very important to do, and told herself in her heart that she would go once and take a look, with her light skills, she would definitely not be discovered and would not cause trouble to the house.
