Chapter 208: Encounter with Xue Xiuliang
Xia Ziwu was embarrassed by the three of them singing and counting, Rao was that she had the intention to please Meng Jingxian, and she didn't want to offend her, so she couldn't help but retort: "Miss Meng, your words are a bit serious, right?" I'm just going to your house to take care of my pregnant sister, why am you so embarrassed by you? Please also accumulate virtue in your mouth. ”
"Phew!" Meng Jingxian didn't save face for Xia Ziwu at all: "A daughter's house who didn't leave the cabinet ran diligently to my brother's study in the middle of the night, and used those indiscriminate means to seduce my brother. I'm ashamed of you. If I were you, I would have plunged headlong into the moat and would have no face to live.
Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, my Meng family gives you face, I don't want to expose you, but it doesn't mean that we don't know. I advise you to still have a little self-knowledge, and don't come to pester my brother again, it's boring to talk to yourself! It is absolutely impossible for my mother to let a woman like you enter the door of my Meng family! ”
Meng Jingxian had a knife mouth, and when she was in the Meng family, she looked at Xia Ziwu unpleasantly, but Mrs. Meng reprimanded her three times and twice, asking her not to go toe-to-toe with Xia Ziwu, so she held back her anger.
Today, I finally left the Meng Mansion, the road is narrow, and I met Xia Ziwu on a narrow road, and when I spoke, I carried a gun and a stick, and all of them were like a knife, mercilessly digging out Xia Ziwu's old bottom.
There were still tea guests in the tea house, who couldn't help but look sideways and whispered with their heads down.
"Nonsense!" Xia Ziwu is also arrogant on weekdays, but because she wants to marry into the Meng family, she has given in to Meng Jingxian three or four times, but today she didn't expect Meng Jingxian to become even more intense and humiliate her in front of so many people. How could she ever be so angry? Suddenly angry at the bullfight, his face was full of hatred, he took two steps forward, and couldn't help but want to do it.
"Oh, this is annoyed and angry, and you want to do it?" Meng Jingxian snorted proudly and straightened her chest: "If you don't measure yourself, who is afraid of whom?" ”
When the two girls around them saw the two of them rattling, they also rolled up their arms and sleeves, and no one had stage fright: "Such a shameless woman, no one should be polite to her, just give her a good beating, and then drag her to the street, make her good deeds public, and let the people in the capital see if she can marry in the future?" ”
With one to three, Xia Ziwu timidly glanced at Changjing, who was following behind him without saying a word, and suddenly became angry: "Are you dead?" ”
Changjing tugged at her sleeve: "Miss, forget it, let's go?" ”
Xia Ziwu lost face, held back her anger, and slapped Changjing with her backhand, recklessly: "Your young lady and I have been wronged today, is it okay to say it lightly?" ”
Changjing's face towel was thrown off, and she hurriedly covered her face, lowering her head and not daring to raise her face.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse on the side saw that the two sides were tense and wanted to make trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "The young ladies are all discouraged, the academy is about to get out of school, and when the time comes, there will be a tide of people, and it will not look good to fight." ”
Meng Jingxian and the other two girls glanced at each other, and snorted coldly: "Forget it, don't be like a mad dog, otherwise our brother will come out in a while, and if we want to say that we bully more and less, we have to teach a lesson with a straight face." ”
The other two girls also sat back by the window: "I was eating tea raw, and I was upset by a mad dog." ”
Xia Ziwu's complexion changed and changed, and she didn't dare to attack after all, and gritted her teeth angrily: "Okay, a few of you will wait for me, let's see!" ”
This ferocious threat in exchange for a burst of hip-hop between the three of them.
Xia Ziwu lost face, turned around angrily, and took Changjing out of the teahouse.
Along the way, the anger was hard to dissipate, and he cursed in his heart, and scolded the ancestors of the Meng family thoroughly. Today, I completely offended Meng Jingxian and tore my face, the Meng family, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back.
She regretted it a little, since Shicai had completely turned her face, she should scold Meng Jingxian for all the vicious words she held in her heart, the more annoyed she was, the better, and when she returned to Meng's Mansion in that way, she would be angry with Xia Anran.
While thinking, he walked violently, Changjing lowered his head and followed behind, expressionless and without saying a word.
Xia Ziwu turned her face and chattered and scolded Changjing, pouring a belly of anger on her.
"So many people humiliate me together, you don't dare to put a fart behind me. In the past, in the mansion, where did you show off your martial arts and your sharp teeth? Why did you sew your mouth at a critical moment? Miss, what do I do with you? ”
Before he finished scolding a few words, someone ran over in a hurry, and almost bumped into Xia Ziwu.
Changjing stretched out her hand and grabbed Xia Ziwu.
The two didn't bump into each other.
Xia Ziwu immediately scolded: "Bastard, you don't have eyes, do you?" Walking in such a hurry, rushing to be reincarnated? ”
The man was unkempt, ragged, and exuded an unpleasant stench, as if he was dodging something in a panic, and kept twisting his head behind him, and did not return the scolding, stumbling around the two and trying to escape.
Hearing Xia Ziwu's scolding, he immediately stopped: "Cousin? ”
Xia Ziwu was stunned for a moment, and the words that were stuck in her throat before she could scold.
There was already a shouting voice behind him: "Xue Xiuliang, you bastard, you stop Lao Tzu!" ”
Only then did Xia Ziwu believe that the person in front of her, who looked poor and embarrassed, was Xue Xiuliang, who had not shown up for many days.
"Cousin? Why do you look like this? ”
Xue Xiuliang suddenly seemed to have seen a savior: "Cousin, you can't see death without saving it, whatever you say, you have to save your cousin!" ”
As he spoke, the two people who had been chasing Xue Xiuliang had already chased him: "Look where else can you escape this time?" ”
Xue Xiuliang pointed at Xia Ziwu: "My cousin has money, she can help me pay it back." ”
As soon as Xia Ziwu heard his words, she immediately became anxious: "I'll pay it back for you?" Why? Isn't it enough for you to pit my family? We've been deceived by you and your dad to the point of almost bankruptcy, and you still want to do it again? ”
"No, cousin, this time it's true, cousin, I really owe money to others."
Xia Ziwu waved at Changjing: "Changjing, let's go." ”
One person stepped forward and grabbed Xue Xiuliang's neck like a chicken.
Xue Xiuliang struggled to break free, knelt down in front of Xia Ziwu with a "plop", and hugged Xia Ziwu's leg tightly when he stepped forward and didn't let go: "Cousin, just this time, I swear, absolutely this time." Please, this time you must save me, if you do nothing, they will take my life. ”
"That's how you and your father came to the door that day and teamed up to defraud my mother of thousands of taels of silver, right? If you try to change the method, it will be more credible. ”
Xue Xiuliang shook his head like a rattle: "No, cousin, I swear, this time it's true, cousin is really desperate." You can't die without help. ”
"Changjing!" Xia Ziwu commanded: "Find a stick and blow him away!" ”
Changjing had been watching Xue Xiuliang crying bitterly and begging Xia Ziwu with cold eyes, and when she heard the order, she turned around and really wanted to find something to take advantage of.
The two debt collectors were impatient: "What kind of stick are you looking for?" Whichever leg you want to hit, just speak, and we'll do it for you. ”
After speaking, he reached out and dragged Xue Xiuliang, who had been begging for nothing and refused to let go.
Xue Xiuliang immediately screamed like a pig: "Cousin, cousin, save me, we are cousins anyway!" ”
The other party's fists and feet rained down on Xue Xiuliang's body: "If you don't pay back, this punch and kick is just interest, which one of your arms and legs you don't want, choose yourself." ”
Xia Ziwu saw that the two of them really greeted Xue Xiuliang, and every time they made Xue Xiuliang scream. After all, he was a little unbearable, and asked angrily: "How much silver taels does he owe you?" ”
The two stopped their fists and feet, and gestured two fingers at Xia Ziwu: "It's not much, even the profit is only two hundred taels." ”
"Two hundred taels? So much? ”
Originally, these two hundred taels were indeed not a large amount for Xia Ziwu, but the Xia family was now different from the past, so they were a little hesitant for a while.
Xue Xiuliang observed the words, saw that Xia Ziwu was a little hesitant, and hurriedly begged: "Two hundred taels, it's really not much, in the future, my cousin's life will be yours, it's worth it!" ”
Xia Ziwu said coldly: "But you also know that my family is now overstretched, and these two hundred taels are already a lot." ”
Xue Xiuliang continued to cry bitterly to express remorse: "It's me who is a bastard, it's me who forgets my righteousness when I see wealth, I deserve to die, you see that we have a good relationship in the past, I will help my cousin this time." ”
Xia Ziwu thought for a while, gritted her teeth, took out a silver ticket from her arms, and then took off a golden hairpin on her head and handed it to the two of them: "Is it enough?" ”
The man pointed to another gilded hairpin on her head.
Xia Ziwu took it off indignantly and threw it away: "It's cheap for you!" Only more, no less, so clear. ”
The two of them weighed the weight of the two hairpins, and sneered disdainfully at Xue Xiuliang from the end of his nose: "Bad seeds, count yourself lucky." ”
The words are gone.
Xia Ziwu glared at Xue Xiuliang angrily: "Didn't you cheat my mother of so much silver?" How did you still end up in such an embarrassing situation? ”
Xue Xiuliang suddenly complained bitterly: "I took a total of five hundred taels of silver to spend, and before I could live happily for two days, I was tricked by these people and won all of them, and I still owed usury."
I had no choice but to go home, and I heard that my father had been arrested. All the family members who were involved in the prison came to me to settle accounts, I was like a mouse, hiding in Tibet, eating the last meal but not the next, how much I have suffered. ”
Xia Ziwu snorted coldly: "You brag every day about how many people you know in the market, how come you can't raise two hundred taels of silver, and you are chased by others?" If you hadn't happened to meet me today, would you really have made people unloaded? ”
Xue Xiuliang said with a sad face: "Those people are all looking down on people, they used to drink wine and eat meat, and they all slapped their chests with a bang, saying that they are blessed and enjoy hardships together." Now that I'm down, and my uncle has had such a big thing, seeing that I'm all abandoned, I can't wait to hide away. ”
"It's just a bunch of dog meat friends, if you know it yourself." Xia Ziwu lectured angrily.
Xue Xiuliang cautiously accompanied the smiling face: "Cousin, can you intercede with my aunt for me, let her dissipate her anger, and find me a job to do to make ends meet?" ”
