Chapter 15: Misfortune
Chang Si rolled over, Xu Huaian rolled himself, turned over and over on the bed, and tossed the bed into a bad shape.
What did he take to see An Qingming! An Qingming won't chop him after seeing him, right?
With this concern, Xu Huai'an didn't dare to go directly to the door of An's house, and even walked around the An's branch, and walked back that day when he walked to the "Wangxing Tower", Ning Peijing, who went to eat with him, looked at him and quipped: "You have been allergic to tea recently." ”
Don't say it, it seems like that's the case.
It's not that I'm allergic to tea, but I'm allergic to everything related to An Qingming.
He and Ning Peijing made an appointment with Zhou Xu for dinner, Zhou Xu always arrived early, but this time he was rarely late.
When you come, cover your face with your sleeve.
Xu Huaian laughed at him: "What's the matter, like a big girl, I don't need to buy you a veil." ”
Ning Peijing shook his head: "You don't hurt him a few words." ”
Over there, Zhou Xu sat down and threw off his sleeves angrily, revealing a bruised face.
The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and Xu Huai'an's reaction was very real, and he smiled backwards. Ning Peijing thought he was a cultural person, but he also held back his laughter and felt uncomfortable.
Ning Peijing asked, "What's wrong with you?" Met bandits? ”
"I'd love to meet bandits! Bandit, he's a human being! Zhou Xu picked up the teacup and drank it all, "The problem is that she is not a person when I meet her!" ”
Ning Peijing is very simple: "Don't talk about ghosts and gods during the day. ”
Xu Huai'an has been extremely worried in his heart these days, and he is very happy to see Zhou Xu's appearance, so he kindly explained to Ning Peijing: "Can't you see this?" When he was so angry, it means that he met the eldest lady of the Liu family again. ”
Sure enough, Zhou Xu slapped the table: "Don't follow me for her!" ”
"That's a bastard!"
At the same moment, Liu Ruyu slapped the table, and the tea on the table splashed out a foot away.
An Qingming silently moved away from her.
"He's molesting me!"
"He molested you?" An Qingming didn't believe it, Zhou Xu's appearance, seeing Liu Ruyu, she couldn't wait to take a detour, how could she tease her, if it was said that Liu Ruyu was molesting Zhou Xu, it would have some credibility.
"Really!" Liu Ruyu said, "I fell asleep that day, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw him sneaking close to me and reaching out to touch me!" ”
"I went to send a dart that day, and I saw her sleeping on her stomach in the backyard, quiet, not at all like her usual appearance, I thought she had a twin sister!" Zhou Xu was indignant.
Ning Peijing said: "Then you can't flirt with other girls." ”
"Who molested her!" Zhou Xu's eyes widened, "I wanted to put a bug on her nose to scare her, who knew that she would wake up, and she would hit her!" ”
"Think about it, who is not afraid when he opens his eyes and sees a man so close to you, I did it all because of instinct." Liu Ruyu defended: "I wanted to apologize when I saw it was him, but who knew that he would throw worms at me when he reached out!" ”
An Qingming was puzzled: "Aren't you afraid of insects?" "After all, this man has a snake at the bedside.
"I'm not afraid," Liu Ruyu frowned, "It's because I'm not afraid, he actually said ......"
Seeing that Zhou Xu wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Huaian became interested: "What did you tell her, she can beat you like this." ”
"I don't think I'm saying anything wrong," now that he thinks about it, Zhou Xu still feels extremely aggrieved, "I'll just say, you're not even afraid of insects, not only are you not a woman, you're not a person, right?" ”
“……”
Xu Huai'an and Ning Peijing glanced at each other: "I know what it means to be self-inflicted." ”
Zhou Xu said: "Is there a problem with what I said? ”
Liu Ruyu was about to cry: "He...... He doesn't like me, why bother to tease me and mock me every time! ”
An Qingming comforted unconcernedly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about him." ”
It's not the first time, these two people didn't see each other when they met, and they won't meet next time.
An Qingming was comforted.
After listening to Zhou Xu's narration, Xu Huaian felt physically and mentally happy, and he felt much better after knowing that everyone had their own misfortunes.
It doesn't matter if there is anything between himself and An Qingming.
On the second day, he went to find An Qingming.
I gave Zhou Xu a few jars of good wine and thanked him for his understanding.
Zhou Xu: "Huh? "What did he explain?
When Xu Huai'an arrived at Anjia, the door of Anjia was closed, and when the housekeeper came to open the door, the old man looked a little unsightly, saying that it was inconvenient for the young lady to meet guests.
Xu Huaian thought it was An Qingming's excuse that he didn't want to see him, so he asked the old housekeeper An Qingming how she was feeling recently.
The old butler looked at him with a frown and a look of disapproval.
At this time, An Qingming's voice came out, coldly, with a sense of oppression, and a little anger: "Strong words!" Could it be that I wronged you? ”
The butler was stunned for a moment, hurriedly said a few words, and closed the door.
Xu Huaian was also stunned, he guessed that something should have happened to the An family, and I was afraid that this matter was a little disgraceful.
But An Qingming is so powerful, she should be able to handle it properly, and then she thinks about it, but after all, she is a little girl, whether there is anyone around her, and I don't know if she will be wronged.
You can't bear it yourself, it's uncomfortable.
If only I could share some of it for her.
Xu Huai'an squatted with the doorman lion while thinking about it, and slapped his paws to say hello.
"I really envy you, I can see Qingming every day."
The stone lion is very principled, silent and motionless.
Don't care what Xu Huai'an thinks outside, the inner courtyard of An's house is very lively, there are many people inside and outside, except for Mrs. An, who is still in the Buddhist hall in poor health, the other two have come out.
In the middle are An Qingming and An Yuanshan, An Yuanshan's face is very ugly, he really didn't expect An Qingming to show his face in front of so many people, and his tone was a little unkind: "Big girl, I am working up and down for the An family, what basis do you say I resell tea?" If there is no basis, it is really chilling. ”
An Qingming said: "Working up and down for the An family? Instead, he put the silver of the tea house into the second uncle's pocket? ”
An Yuanshan said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”
"Second uncle," An Qingming's expression was always faint, but it gave people a sense of calmness that everything was under control, "When you go out to talk about business, divide the tea sold in the tea house into two batches, one is good tea, and the other is bad tea, you sell the bad tea at a low price in the name of the tea house, but keep the good tea to trade with others, and swallow the price difference, yes or no?" ”
An Yuanshan's pupils trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged, he thought that he had done it seamlessly, An Qingming could guess what he had done from the account books, but he couldn't produce evidence.
He sells good tea at a low price, and the shops that buy tea will not betray him for their own interests, and those who buy bad tea are scattered dealers from afar, and they can't find the source.
Where did An Qingming go to check?
Today, she handed over so many people to An's house to watch, but it was just a bluff to deceive him, as long as he didn't admit it, An Qingming could do anything.
Sure enough, he refused to admit it, and An Qingming did not produce substantive evidence except for questioning.
Fang Shi stood aside and looked at it in his eyes, and said coldly: "The eldest girl's words are unfounded, and she can't even come up with evidence to slander her second uncle like this, the loyal old shopkeeper of the tea house, is the eldest girl's big shopkeeper unconvincing." ”
"That's right," her second cousin, An Yuanshan's eldest son, An Qingyun, echoed his mother: "Big sister is too unreasonable like this. ”
An Qingming glanced at him, and there was a cold knife in his eyes, which suddenly forced him to silence.
He grew up under the coercion of An Qingming, and being afraid of An Qingming has become an instinct in his bones.
Fang Shi hit him with his elbow, secretly scolding him for being incompetent.
An Qingyun wanted to prove himself, but he really didn't have the guts.
Fang had no choice but to go into battle by himself: "Big girl, it's not that the second aunt doesn't give you face, you called so many people over today, everyone is watching, you have red mouth and white teeth to frame your second uncle, do you want to give everyone an explanation?" ”
If An Qingming dared to answer, she would be able to directly force An Qingming to remove her position as the big shopkeeper.
No matter how nerdy An Yuanfeng is, he understands this, and he hesitates: "Second sister-in-law, maybe this is a misunderstanding?" We're all family, you're so ......."
"Family?" Fang sneered, "Does the family have this? The third child, if you don't do things in Zhuangzi, don't get involved in the things in Zhuangzi, your good niece is bent on rectifying your second brother! ”
An Qingming smiled when she heard this: "I originally remembered that I was a family, and I should save some face, as long as the second uncle admits his mistake, I will not pursue it." But the second aunt's words were really hurtful, and she didn't treat Qingming as a family, since this was the case, Qingming had no choice but not to save face for the second uncle - immortality. ”
A middle-aged man standing behind her answered and trotted into the house.
When everyone saw this, they whispered one after another.
An Yuanshan thought that he would not leave any tricks for An Qingming to see, but when he saw An Qingming's appearance, he was unsure for a while.
After a while, Changsheng came out of the house, holding a boxy box in his hand.
An Yuanshan's face changed as soon as he saw the box, An Qingming took the box from Changsheng's hand, inside was a letter that was folded and square, An Qingming took it in his hand and spread it, and looked at An Yuanshan: "Second uncle, am I here to read it for you or are you reading it yourself?" ”
Her eyes seemed to have a knife hidden, ripping at An Yuanshan's flesh one by one.
An Yuanshan's knees softened suddenly, and now he knelt on the ground, under the scorching sun, his sweat beads were dripping in strings, smashing a deep and shallow shadow on the stone slab, and quickly dissipated.
At this time, everyone had already seen what was going on, some sympathetic and some resentful, and one by one their eyes pierced An Yuanshan like a sharp sword.
"Big girl...... I, I'm ......"
An Qingming watched him struggle and didn't say a word.
"Big girl, I'm also a fan of money! Me, I didn't mean to! I'm just greedy for money! I don't have a second heart for 'moon drink'! ”
It's hard to say whether there are two hearts, but An Yuanshan did such a bad conscience thing.
Seeing this, the Fang clan stepped forward with hatred, his resentful gaze flew to An Yuanshan, and when he turned to look at An Qingming, he changed his appearance with a desire for it: "Big girl, is there any misunderstanding in this, your second uncle is timid, someone must have harmed him." ”
"Yes, the second uncle can't do it alone," An Qingming stared at An Yuanshan carefully, and said something in his words: "Who is it?" Second uncle? ”
An Yuanshan's gums were trembling slightly: "No...... No one ...... I'm just obsessed with it for a while...... Big girl, big girl, I don't dare anymore! ”
