088 Either adultery or theft
Sheng Qingqing was thinking about it, and many villagers in Shengjia Village were also discussing.
"The girl looks like she knows this master, I really can't see it."
This is someone who is not familiar with Sheng Qingqing, and what he said at this time sounds normal on the surface, but there is a sour energy hidden in it.
Fortunately, there are people who are more familiar with Sheng Qingqing who helped explain at this time.
"Didn't Miss Qing follow Niu Er to the town to do business a few days ago, it should be the old man I met at that time."
For a poor little girl who is not as poor as the family, everyone has no malice, and there are still few people who are as sour as before, and after listening to the explanation, they all agreed.
"Yes, Miss Qing is a well-behaved person, and she doesn't go out much on weekdays, so she has been to the town recently."
The sour man was not convinced, and said, "I don't know what kind of business this girl is doing, but she can know a noble person like Young Master Cheng." ”
The Cheng family's fame in these ten miles and eight towns is needless to say. Although no one is willing to marry their good daughter into the Cheng family, this does not mean that they do not envy the wealth of the Cheng family.
As far as the Cheng family's money is concerned, as long as a little leakage from the fingers, it is enough for ordinary people to be beautiful for a lifetime.
And now looking at Sheng Qingqing as if she is about to get on the golden thighs of the Cheng family, some small-minded people are naturally sour in their hearts. They don't do anything evil, at most they say a few sour words, just like they do now.
But there are more people in Shengjia Village, who are kind-hearted. At this time, I couldn't stand them slandering a little doll, and said, "What do you mean by that?" is such a well-behaved child, and she is the town that followed Niu Er. ”
The acidified man didn't dare to tear his face, so he could only swallow back his words aggrievedly.
……
Everyone whispered, but Sheng Qingqing couldn't help frowning.
Not because of the gossip. Not to mention that she can't hear much if it's far away, even if she does, she won't care too much if it doesn't hurt or itch.
At this time, what Sheng Qingqing was really worried about was that she thought about it for a long time, and she really couldn't guess what was worth coveting others.
It's a long story, but it's only a moment.
At this time, the middle-aged man was still smiling and looking at this side.
Sheng Qingqing restrained the emotion in her eyes, bent the corners of her mouth, and squeezed out a smile, "It's a coincidence, I actually saw the master in the village today." Last time I was in a hurry, I haven't asked my lord's surname? ”
It's also very strange.
In the town before, in front of their barbecue stall, the middle-aged man still looked arrogant, looking at them with no different eyes than looking at ants. Like the middle-aged man who came with the Li family, there was no dust under his eyes.
But now, he looked at Sheng Qingqing's eyes with sincerity, and the smile on his face did not contain the slightest hypocrisy.
At least in Sheng Qingqing's opinion, it is.
Isn't this person also like her, and his body has been replaced with a soul, right? Otherwise, how can it change so much?
Sheng Qingqing secretly slandered herself, still smiling on her face.
When the middle-aged man heard this, the smile on his face was actually a little gentler, and he didn't look so cunning. I only heard him smile and said: "Don't give your surname Cheng, I am the housekeeper of Cheng Mansion, and Miss Sheng calls me Steward Cheng." ”
A strange look flashed in Sheng Qingqing's eyes.
It's a housekeeper?!
The first time I saw him in the town before, I thought this person was a gentleman from a rich and noble family, and the appearance of no one in his eyes made people never think that he was just a servant.
But today's humble and gentle appearance still has the demeanor of a few people in charge.
But this person's attitude has changed so much, but it is even more elusive......
Sheng Qingqing pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Steward Cheng doesn't have to be so polite, I'm just a country girl, where can I afford to be a young lady." ”
She smiled and said, "I was just looking for you." Last time you bought a barbecue and left too much money. I have encountered some things, but it will be difficult for me to go into the town to sell food in the future, and now I will return the money to you. ”
After speaking, Sheng Qingqing took out a tael of silver from the hidden bag.
The Sheng family is broken, these valuable things, she has always carried them closely, at least it is much safer than putting them in the house and looking at them.
One or two pieces of silver, if you save money, are enough for a family of three to chew for a year.
Sheng Qingqing took it out so lightly, and the villagers of Shengjia Village who were watching were about to pop out. It was the Li family, who was trembling before, who was also full of disbelief at this time.
However, Steward Cheng didn't seem to care about the two silvers at all. He didn't take the money, but asked, "What happened?" ”
Sheng Qingqing frowned imperceptibly.
Whether it is meeting bandits, or the cooperation between Shopkeeper Wan and her, it is obviously difficult to say in such a public.
can look at Steward Cheng's stunned look, if she refuses......
Just when Sheng Qingqing was in a dilemma.
Steward Cheng suddenly patted his head and said with a look of annoyance: "Look at me, I'm too busy to do this." This cold winter wax moon actually made you stand in the courtyard for so long, it is really rude. ”
He looked at Sheng Qingqing and smiled: "I don't know if you can let us avoid the cold?" ”
This is to want to go into the house, avoid other people, and talk well.
This is exactly what Sheng Qingqing wanted.
It's good to avoid others.
Most of the people in Shengjia Village are good. But this is when other people's living standards do not exceed theirs by much, if she rashly exposes the possibility of becoming rich and wealthy in the future, she may attract many people who are red-eyed.
People's hearts can never be guessed.
Second Uncle Niu obviously thought as much as she did, and immediately stood up at this time, made the gesture of an elder, and said with a smile: "The Qing girl's family is relatively simple, if you don't dislike it, just rest in my house for a while." ”
Steward Cheng didn't respond immediately, but glanced at Sheng Qingqing.
Sheng Qingqing curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Please." ”
"Then bother."
Seeing that they were about to enter the house, the villagers dispersed with interest. By the way, the Li family who collapsed to the ground was dragged away.
The middle-aged man before belonged to the Cheng family, and the Cheng family could discipline her, but the Li family was a woman and had nothing to do with the Cheng family, so on the surface, the Cheng family was not easy to pursue too much, so they let her fend for herself.
But looking at the disdain on the faces of the villagers who dragged Li away, it was obvious that even if Li had no worries about his life, he would have to suffer some flesh and skin.
The old village chief did not go with the villagers.
Because he came with "Young Master Cheng", Steward Cheng invited him into the Niu family's house together.
The old village chief didn't know what to do, so he took the opportunity to respond.
So in the main hall of the Niu family, more than a dozen people were instantly crowded, and there was a very simple sedan chair.
