Chapter 46: Bad Reputation
The mystery of Xu Man's life experience, this doubt, overshadowed Luo Xiaoqi, who had been absent from Xunyang for a long time.
To say that the proprietress of the Curtain Snow Pavilion doesn't seem to be able to intervene sideways and wrongfully slander Xu Man's people in their pavilion, and the proprietress is now like a shrew, tearing off her loud voice, sitting directly on the street, crying and shouting to the ground: "Manzhi doesn't recognize her, Manzhi is a heartless person."
Everyone knows that this Manzhi refers to Xu Man, but ten years ago, some older people knew that Manzhi was a famous Oiran in their Xunyang, talented, able to write poems and sing songs, but because of the fame, there were few people who could see her.
But just because of the boss's playful temperament, a group of people half-believed Xu Man wandered back and forth between the down-and-out eldest lady and the geisha who was famous ten years ago.
Then the mother-in-law next door to Shen Yeling jumped out and asked Xu Man for an explanation: "If you want to say that Boss Shen and his wife are a natural pair, his wife is gentle and virtuous, generous and decent, and her body does not reflect the frivolous temperament that a geisha should have, and her predecessor must be a real lady."
Everyone nodded at what they said, and it was reasonable.
But not long after such a far-fetched inference was won, several fragrant aunts and wives who urged the great good people came out to testify: "Shen Yeling and his wife even know Qin Huai songs and big drum books, not only do they know how to sing them, how can the eldest lady who is raised in the boudoir know these things."
Everyone was a little too little by a few aunts, and the suspicions were derived again.
If you want to say that Xu Man is Manzhi ten years ago, a group of people went to find the rich businessman who had seen Manzhi back then, and asked him.
As a result, ten years ago was an extremely long year, and the group of young and promising young people who could see Manzhi are now either marrying wives and having children, or they are about to have children and grandchildren, so they still have spare time to take care of this business.
But there is only one person dressed as a beggar, saying that he is Luo Mingyuan, the eldest young master of the Luo family ten years ago, and he said that he can be a witness to prove that Xu Man is Manzhi, and there is a group of wealthy businessmen behind him who can also prove it.
As a result, there is a one-sided trend in the direction of public opinion, and this kind of thing needs to be investigated, and there is really nothing to do with their police station, so generally, the case of fatal actions is handed over to the police. Those involved in ethics and morality were handed over to this group of enthusiastic Xunyang masses.
When it was really proved that Xu Man was a geisha manzhi, it was said by the little apprentice of the opera troupe who sang and got along with her, that little apprentice heard this rumor before, and really ran to Xu Man's bed to ask her if she was the eldest lady in the boudoir. Xu Man struggled to open his eyes and shook his head and said no.
That's either the eldest lady or a geisha, the little apprentice said that he still learned about it from Xu Man's mouth.
So everyone completely believed that they were deceived by Xu Man, and it turned out that Xu Man was the geisha back then, the top manzhi. For a while, in the newspaper, the side of the verbal pressure fell towards Shen Man.
For several days and nights, countless reporters surrounded their doors, and when they came out, they rushed up to ask one, as if they were worried that they had missed one, maybe it was Xu Man.
The rest of the troupe inevitably received some interruptions, and their attitude towards Xu Man changed more or less. Xunyang people are even more, with two faces in front of and behind. The people who could hold the moon before regarded Xu Man as the moon, just because she was the eldest lady in Beiping City, even if she was down, she was high.
But now they have plunged this 'moon' into the quagmire, just because she has now become a geisha who shows her face, a geisha, even if the light was great at the beginning, she is also a lowly embryo in the dust.
"It's a geisha, why bother to pretend to be a boudoir show", they expressed their puzzlement about Xu Man's previous life experience of pretending to be a young lady, and felt that Xu Man had deceived their favor, so they added another charge from the geisha that he was a liar.
So the people of Xunyang lit the hurt of being deceived, and wantonly talked about the original scenery of Shen Yeling.
The couple was suddenly on the cusp, Luo Mingyuan seemed to be unhappy when he looked at it, and his perverted psychology rose again, and asked the beggar to make up a limerick poem, lick and go shopping and sing it every day, knowing that this poem is catchy in the mouths of the people of Xunyang.
He looked at Xunyang's attitude towards Xu Man, which was in line with the atmosphere he thought
Go, so he proudly walked to the door of the Drunken Immortal Building and asked Zhang Sanluo when Xiaoqi was going to come back.
Zhang San counted twice, pretending to be a big jumper, and said mysteriously: "Business is busy, I should not come back until after the Lantern Festival."
Luo Mingyuan got another day of pride, he was jealous of Xu Man, and even more jealous of Luo Xiaoqi, so he walked on the street and scolded Xu Man, and scolded Luo Xiaoqi, feeling complacent, but as soon as he finished scolding Luo Xiaoqi a few words, his head went blank in an instant, and a dull crisp sound came from his ears, and then his cheeks began to ache. Shen Yeling raised a slap and slapped Luo Mingyuan in the face.
Luo Mingyuan paused a few times, and then scuffled with Shen Yeling on the spot.
Everyone gathered around to persuade the fight, and only after a few pulls did they pull away, everyone knew that Shen Yeling had always been gentle, and he was by no means a material that could fight, but now he was able to fight for Xu Man, which shows the conscience of heaven and earth, Shen Yeling is really a good husband.
So he erased the gossip about Shen Yeling and added it to Xu Man.
They are also full of malice towards Xu Man, and now a geisha who is all over the world is not as good as a deep lady from a down-and-out family? also named and maliciously slandered, Xu Man was comparable to Luo Xiaoqi, and he was no better.
"Anyway, in Xunyang, who said that Miss Deep Boudoir is not as good as a geisha."
"Alas, who else can there be, it's Jiang Yuan, the great talent of the people doesn't say that the current eldest lady is wrapped in Jin Lian, and she doesn't know it, she knows that hiding in the boudoir and embroidering flowers is better than a geisha, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Ouch, then he followed Luo Xiaoqi to Wuxi this time, but he will regret his death. If he could say a few words of justice to Manzhi now, wouldn't he be the one who likes to write poems for those geisha?"
Everyone, you have commented on everything I have said. Ignoring Shen Yeling, who was busy working in the theater garden, Manager Li looked at the injury on Shen Yeling's face for several days.
He had a fight with Luo Mingyuan, and the injuries on his face damaged his original appearance, and he didn't care about it, and he stopped singing for this drama invited by the rich merchant warlord, and now he is calmly singing with his apprentices pinching his throats.
Manager Li knows that Shen Yeling's heart is not ordinary, and when he encounters such a situation, he still works diligently and conscientiously to do everything he does, even if he is beaten, his wife has an accident, and his senior brother is dead. It seems that nothing can make him change the rules of his life, and he can still be himself without being surprised when the sky falls.
After Shen Yeling finished teaching the students, it was already evening, and he remembered that there were still a few articles on the bookcase that he hadn't read, and a few pages of stories that he hadn't turned, and he was thinking about finishing his analysis after reading it.
When he was about to go out, he saw a clever little girl waiting for him outside the door, and he looked up through the street lamp on the side of the street, and this handsome little girl was actually Xiuzhu.
I saw Xiuzhu with tears on her face, as if she had been bullied by someone, her eyes were shining with starlight, and she looked pitiful at Shen Yeling.
Shen Yeling kindly asked her, thinking that she was taken by a high-ranking official like the division commander again, and she was going to be married home as a wife, so he was now in a dilemma, not to mention begging Zhang Rao Shunluo Xiaoqi or something, even if he helped himself to beg them, it would be difficult.
I saw Xiuzhu wiping two lines of hot tears, taking out an ointment from her pocket, and said with a crying voice: "I heard that you fought with someone, I can't rest assured, I came to see you", she frowned, trying to go to the injured place on Shen Yeling's face to take a look: "Oh, what kind of person, there is no one who is serious, and he is going to break his appearance."
Xiuzhu tried to raise her hand, wanting to touch Shen Yeling's face. Shen Yeling, who made it, subconsciously pushed back a few steps and declined his kindness: "It's much better, thank you Miss Xiuzhu for your concern"
Xiuzhu also withdrew her hand and rubbed it back and forth in the palm of her other hand, she stood in the cold wind and looked embarrassed. She was originally going to be introduced by his father to Zhang Raoshun, who rescued herself. Zhang Raoshun is not here for the Chinese New Year these days, but his father blindly boasted that Zhang Raoshun was better than Shen Yeling, he didn't even see Zhang Zhenshou's face, why should he say that people are good.
She estimated that his father wanted to visit Zhang Raoshun when he came home for the New Year, and intended to give Xiuzhu to Zhang Raoshun as his aunt.
But Xiuzhu still misses Shen Yeling, until the news came out recently, she wanted to see if Shen Yeling's current situation was good, and whether she could still have her in her heart.
So she stood in the wind and said in a low tone: "I have heard everything about Madame, and I also know that Sir, you are bitter in your heart, but the world is desolate" She paused and said: "When they say this about Madame, they don't see Madame's goodness, or Madame's goodness is eaten by their lack of conscience, so they can't see it in their eyes." But Xiuzhu knows that the person who can make Mr. Shen never abandon his hard work must be a kind-hearted beauty."
With tears in her eyes, with a smile of reluctance to cut love, she bowed forward, deeply with 90 degrees, showing sincerity, so Xiuzhu said again: "Mr. Shen, Xiuzhu invited a Guanyin before, and now she begs every day to let Mrs. survive this catastrophe."
Shen Yeling knew it, it turned out that Xiuzhu had said this profound thing before, but it turned out that he had comprehended the Buddhist scriptures in the past few days and sorted them out, so he arched his hand to express his gratitude.
I saw that Xiuzhu said something in her words and said: "It's just helpless, my Huigen is still shallow and can't see through the red dust, and I hope that Mr. Shen said before that I can also meet a man who can wait for a lifetime, this matter has always been in my mind, I want to know if there is such a person in the world besides Mr. Shen."
Shen Yeling stood in the cold wind for a few seconds, and understood her words, so he nodded hurriedly, and arched his hand repeatedly: "I believe that the girl can meet, but that person is not me, the girl should go back earlier, it is also dangerous to come out alone so late."
Xiuzhu wanted to speak and stopped asking, waiting for the rickshaw that Shen Yeling pulled for him, then sat on it, and went home in a state of confusion.
The next day, another piece of news came out about Xu Man, Xu Man was redeemed by Shen Yeling, and he had an affair with a wealthy businessman in Beiping and gave birth to a child to a wealthy businessman in the second year, but the rich businessman didn't want her, or Shen Yeling didn't dislike marrying her.
