Chapter 1: Destroying People's Reputations
Recently, there was an interesting incident in Sanjiang County, the eldest son of the county order family said that he wanted to marry the eldest lady of the An family, he said this with pride, and his eyes lit up: "An Qingming must be my Xu Huai'an's wife!" β
These words were heard, and they spread ten to hundreds, and within three days, everyone in Sanjiang County knew about it.
The Xu family came up with such a bastard thing who shamelessly ruined the girl's reputation, Xu Xianling was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and Xu Huaian was beaten by his father so much that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month. Mrs. Xu sat at the head of her son's bed and wiped her tears, Xu Huai'an shamelessly pulled his mother's sleeve and shouted pain, and Mrs. Xu's tears fell faster.
Xu Huai'an said, "My mother is the best", "My mother still loves me", "My son is bitter...... Mrs. Xu touched his handsome and pale face, and sobbed, "My son ......"
Xu Huai'an took advantage of his mother's soft-heartedness, and changed his words and said: "Mother, you see, my father also said that I ruined the reputation of other girls, why don't you talk to your father, find a day to go to Anjia to propose marriage." β
Mrs. Xu, who was halfway through crying, took a breath and didn't come up, stuck in her throat and choked enough.
She brushed away her son's hand, met the pair of shiny fox eyes, stopped crying, and sneered: "I said, why are you pretending to be a good fool in front of me for a while, waiting here." β
After saying that, he got up and left, Xu Huai'an lay on the bed and shouted: "Mother! Think about itβno, why hasn't my lotus seed porridge come yet! β
Mrs. Xu went out, and the maid Changyi happened to come over with lotus seed porridge, and she was blessed with a short body, and heard her wife say: "The lord has been busy with official business recently, and this porridge is sent to the lord to relieve fatigue." β
Isn't this what the young master ordered? Chang Yi didn't ask this, answered "yes", changed directions directly, and halfway through, he heard her young master shouting at his throat to call his mother, and after shouting a few times, he began to shout lotus seed porridge, Chang Yi pressed down the corners of his mouth, but he didn't hear it.
"Wangxing Tower" is built according to the water, open the window, the breeze is gentle, you can see the murmuring of the flowing water, the water waves are flooding, like setting off thousands of layers of peony.
The storyteller on the first floor is not here today, and the people downstairs chatted by themselves, chatting about the concubine of the Wang Yuanwai family at the east end of the long street, the Zhao family on the outskirts of the city bought a new house, chatting about the good tofu made by the widow of Huichunfang, and finally chatting about Xu Huai'an.
"Didn't I say that the eldest young master is also worthy of Miss Shang'an?"
"No, who is Miss An, there is no better girl than her in the entire Sanjiang County."
"What's the use of looking good, it's so big, no one dares to marry?"
β¦β¦
is also said, one is a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, and the other is a young lady who plays with the situation.
One no one wants to marry, the other no one dares to marry, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for these two people to really get together.
On the second floor, the private room facing the window is full of incense.
The old woman who was standing was about forty years old, and her already unkind face frowned even more viciously: "Big girl, these people don't have a doorkeeper, the old slave goes down to teach them a lesson." β
The woman who is called the big girl is wearing a plain white dress, her eyes are like paint, her skin is like white jade, her expression is light, and she has a proud momentum. β
She continued to the person sitting in front of her: "Where did you talk about it just now, Second Uncle continues. β
An Yuanshan said: "Big girl, this batch of tea is not completely bad tea, it is scattered in the new goods, but there is only a handful left and right, and it can't be noticed." β
After he said this, he paused, and added another sentence in defense: "I am also for the good of our tea house, this batch of tea leaves is smashed in my hands, how much silver will be lost." β
An Qingming said: "It's not that you can't perceive the truth that you can't detect, businessmen are honest, and if you have a bad conscience, you will smash the signboard." Second uncle, you mixed bad tea with new tea for profit, this matter is a broken rule. Being a niece shouldn't have been offended, but I have to be responsible for the sign of 'Moon Drink'. Today, I fined you for one month's wages in the name of the shopkeeper of the 'monthly drink', and if the second uncle is not happy, he will return to the house to teach his niece a lesson. β
An Yuanshan didn't even dare to say it.
He knew that the woman in front of him looked delicate and weak, and she looked like a lady, and she clearly divided "family" and "industry" in her words, but her means were three points better than that of men. An Yuanshan went out to be the shopkeeper of Yueyin, and when he entered the An family, he didn't dare to take the second uncle's shelf in front of her.
The window on the second floor was not closed, the bamboo curtain was rolled up, and the sunlight came in lazily, An Yuanshan sat for a long time, and the dumplings began to sweat on his face, and when he couldn't sit steadily, he excused himself to leave, An Qingming personally sent it downstairs, and An Yuanshan left with his hand.
She had just shown her head in front of the teahouse, and someone on the street saw it, and in an instant her waist didn't hurt, and her legs didn't hurt anymore.
Chang Si chased after him: "Oh, young master, where are you going?!" β
That look, like the prosperity raised by Xu Fu saw the meat buns.
An Qingming turned around and was about to go upstairs, but Leng Buding was shouted: "Qing...... Ann girl! β
Hearing the sound and turning around, it was Xu Huai'an in brocade clothes and jade crowns, Xu Huai'an looked good, but his temperament was really not good, shaking his head like a child who had not grown up.
"An, Miss An......" Before he could say anything, he blushed first, "What a coincidence, you also came to taste tea?" β
Chang Si rolled his eyes in his heart, you obviously wanted to drink sweet bean curd, as if you were here to taste tea.
"Xu Gongzi," An Qingming nodded, "I'm leaving, Xu Gongzi slowly." β
Hearing her say this, Xu Huai'an's face collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and before he could think of the excuse, he opened his mouth first: "That!" By the way, Miss Ann stays! β
An Qingming, who hasn't left yet: "......"
Xu Huai'an: "Ah, recently, my father also wanted to order some tea for old friends in Beijing to taste. He left this matter to me, you know, I don't know much about tea......"
At this time, he didn't know that he was going to send tea to his old friend: "Ahh
An Qingming is such a delicate and clear person, she knew what Xu Huai'an meant as soon as she heard it, she smiled softly: "This is simple, if Xu Gongzi wants to learn, I will personally tell Xu Gongzi from the An family." β
Xu Huai'an, who got this reply, was very dissatisfied: "Ah...... I don't understand what they're saying. β
An Qingming didn't speak.
Xu Huai'an made persistent efforts: "It is said that Miss An is a genius, if Miss An teaches, I may understand......"
An Qingming complained bitterly in her heart, how could she not know Xu Huai'an's crooked idea, not to mention whether this business was true or false, it was Xu Huai'an's identity...... They want to settle down and gain a foothold in Sanjiang County, and the Xu family must not be offended.
Moreover...... Her mind turned, An Qingming thought of the figure of the second uncle who had just left, she had a plan in her heart, hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Thanks to the son, Qingming is clumsy." β
At the right time, the wind blew, and the hibiscus at the corner of her skirt spread and moved.
Man is three points better than Fleur.
Xu Huaian was dumbfounded.
An Qingming was still thinking of going upstairs and sitting for a while, but when she met Xu Huai'an, she thought that there was no way to sit still, so she excused herself, Xu Huai'an's hand moved faster than her brain, and the excuse had not yet been formed, so she grabbed the corner of An Qingming's sleeve first, An Qingming's eyes swept obliquely, and Xu Huai'an's hand suddenly let go as if it was hot.
Still injured, Master Xu limped forward: "Where is Miss An?" β
An Qingming said politely: "Go to the tea house and take a look, Xu Gongzi don't send it." β
Young Master Xu didn't hear what she said, and still followed her with a smile: "Hey? I haven't been to a tea plantation since I'm so old, so I might as well go and see it. β
It was as if someone had invited him to come with him.
An Qingming said: "Didn't Gongzi Xu come to taste tea?" β
Xu Huaian waved his hand: "I didn't think it before, but now I just feel that I drank too much soup in the morning, and I wasn't thirsty at all, so I didn't drink anymore." β
With sideburns and hair flying, An Qingming raised her hand to don't return to her ear, smiled slightly, and did not explain to him that the tea in "Wangxinglou" was never used to quench his thirst.
His hair was dyed with incense, Xu Huaian touched his nose, a little stupid. An Qingming glanced at his legs and feet, and said, "The tea house is full of hills and ravines, Xu Gongzi...... Is it convenient? β
Xu Huai'an, who suddenly came back to his senses, jumped on the spot twice, the pain was so painful that cold sweat came down, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's convenient!" Of course it's convenient, it's been fine for a long time! β
An Qingming was frightened by him, lest his legs be wasted, and Xu Xianling would come to her for trouble.
"Okay, I know."
Xu Huai'an is like a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off if it sticks, An Qingming takes a step Xu Huai'an follows a step, the tea house is located at the foot of the mountain, and the ruggedness is true, An Qingming naturally does not dare to let this eldest young master take risks.
She sighed secretly, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's almost noon, let's go to the tea house at another time." β
Xu Huai'an was happy when he heard the word "noon": "It's time to eat!" Let me ask you, Miss Ann, what do you want to eat? β
The nurse who had been following An Qingming's eyes were on fire when she heard this, she didn't want to see this gentleman, but at this moment, seeing him pestering her young lady, she couldn't wait to spit out three flavors of real fire at him.
Xu Huaian felt that his face was hot, like a charred quail.
He said so, but he didn't think that An Qingming would agree to him, after all, it was not the first time he had been invited, and An Qingming refused him with so many tricks that he could write a book - how to tear off the dog skin plaster without a trace.
Without waiting for An Qingming to reply, he habitually relieved himself: "It's okay, you just go first-" Busy with your own affairs.
He said this many times, but this was the first time he didn't finish it, and the quail grew new fluff in the rejuvenating season: "What did you just say?" β
An Qingming smiled shallowly: "I said, then it will be a waste of money." β
"If you don't break the bank, you don't break the bank, and it's okay to break the cost more!" If quails could fly, Xu Huai'an would have flapped his wings and flapped to the capital by now.
"Big girl......" The nurse tugged An Qingming's sleeve, An Qingming turned her head and shook it slightly, but the nurse opened her mouth but didn't say anything else.
Huainan in May was already a little hot, and a small stove was hidden in the wind, which swept over Xu Huai'an's face, burning him dizzy.
