On the morning of the 10th day of the first lunar month, there was a heavy rain, Xie Wan was awakened by the thunder, and simply went to the building to read a book.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and all the trees in the patio were muddy. The petals floated on the surface of the pool, jolting like a boat in the ocean. The leaves of the banana tree were also cracked along the veins, like an old pampas fan in the hands of an old grandmother. Everything looks messy.

As it got dark, she turned off the light on her desk. Yuxue happened to walk in with the japonica rice porridge boiled on the small stove, although she walked under the porch, but the sleeves and hair were still splashed with a layer of fine rain powder, and even the air in the room was moist, with a slight breath of early spring.

Yuxue covered the window and was about to turn around, but there was a series of raindrops on the other side of the patio. She pushed the window door open again, and saw the little maid Yueling and Yufang beside the Wang family walking in with an umbrella, and the raindrops under the eaves fell on the surface of the umbrella, and the splash floated out two or three feet away.

When she got to the porch, Yufang said through the window: "Someone from the wife's house, please invite our girl to the main courtyard for breakfast." ”

Yu Xue went out of the door, looked at Yueling**'s trouser legs, frowned, and said, "Isn't it the same to eat in the room in such a heavy rain?" ”

Yueling lowered her head and said, "This is not clear, my wife only told me to invite the third girl over." ”

Yuxue bit her lip and stood for a while, then turned around and entered the house.

Xie Wan had already heard it. Although she is not uncommon in this value, but since the Wang family knows that it is raining heavily, she will also ask her to come over for this breakfast, so she has naturally prepared many ways to invite her, she is just rubbing, and she still has to go in the end.

What's more, she always felt that it was not so simple.

She got up from behind the bookcase, "Where's my clogs?" ”

Yuxue not only dressed her in clogs, but also put on a cloak and a hat.

But even so, when I arrived at the main courtyard, my trouser legs were still wet, and my shoes were cold. Fortunately, Yuxue had already prepared dry shoes and socks to bring over, and first asked Yufang outside the door to block and change the shoes and socks before entering the door again.

In the flower hall, not only the Wang family was there, but also the Ruan family, and what was even more puzzling was that Xie Qigong was sitting at the top, his face was very uncertain.

Xie Wan stepped forward as usual to greet the Wang family sweetly, and saluted Xie Qigong in a regular manner. Then she nodded at Ruan Shi and sat down on the small brocade that she usually sat on.

Suddenly, several cases beside Xie Qigong were slapped by him and jumped up, "You poked out such a big basket, and you still have the face to sit?!" ”

It turned out to be a Hongmen banquet.

Xie Wan was silent and slowly stood up, "I don't know what the basket the master is talking about?" ”

Xie Qigong pointed at her, as if he was out of breath.

Wang hurriedly persuaded: "The master has something to say slowly, Sister Wan is still young, don't scare her." While looking at Xie Wan, he sighed again: "You kid, why are you so naughty?" Let me ask you, did you beat Li Ershun, who used to be an errand for you in Huangshi Town? ”

Li Ershun ......, "I hit it." Xie Wan nodded.

The anger on Xie Qigong's face couldn't be hidden. Wang patted his thigh and said, "My little ancestor, you're in a big trouble!" Do you know who Li Ershun is now? He is Zhao County's servant, you beat him, where can Zhao County's face go? This morning, Zhao County Ling came to the door angrily to complain, and asked the master if he couldn't get along with him! ”

Li Ershun was clearly an apprentice in the blacksmith shop, how could he become a servant of Zhao County's order?

"Don't kneel yet!"

The table jumped again.

Xie Wan knelt down with a full stomach of doubts, his eyes swept over Ruan's, just in time to see a touch of schadenfreude in her eyes.

There is no need to think deeply about this, it is clear that someone is taking the opportunity to make trouble. Is it Xie Hong and Ruan, or Wang? Are they doing this purely to get the second room, or is there another purpose?

It's just that in order to get the second room, they can't get any actual benefits, and the Wang family has been a family for so many years, so they won't be so stupid. So it can only be for other purposes.

Imagine, if Li Ershun really became Zhao County's servant, she would really admit this crime, and she would still have Xie Lang above her, and the blame would not fall on her head, but Xie Lang would bear the responsibility for negligence in discipline, and she would at most receive a small punishment.

Xie Qigong is likely to take him to the county government to plead guilty.

If Xie Lang bowed his head and admitted his mistake to Li Ershun, it would not only confirm the rumor that Xie Lang had an affair with the maid, but also make Li Ershun arrogant from now on, and at the same time make the people in Qinghe County look down on Xie Lang and even the entire second room.

The immediate loss caused by this is the damage to Xie Lang's reputation, as well as his performance on the test field in February. Even if Xie Wan is sure that this student test is in Xie Lang's pocket, but Xie Qigong's biggest taboo is that someone ruins the reputation of the Xie family and affects Xie Rong's future.

Qinghe County is so big, and the matter of sesame seeds can be spread widely.

If Xie Lang's filial piety was passed through the house, and the reputation of instigating the younger sister to whip the old servant and being rejected by his grandfather for moral corruption spread, even if the sales of the shops under the name of the second room were not affected, it would definitely make the guys in the shop panic - not to mention, now that the shop needs to recruit a wide range of people, after this reputation spreads, who will want to earn this salary?

If you don't have manpower, no customers, no character and reputation, let alone gain a foothold in the business field.

If the other party really hit this idea, and came for the few shops that will be opened in the second room, then Xie Hong can't do such a handicraft, without the Wang family, how can they have the ability to push Xie Qigong out as this judge?

Wang, is it officially reaching out to the second room?

"I don't know how to tell my lord about this."

For a while, she stared at the ground faintly, and said slowly, "When I went to Huangshi Town that day, Li Ershun stopped my car and said something unfilthy. ”

Xie Qigong said with a heavy face: "Say it clearly!" What do you mean by teaching us a lesson?! What exactly did he say? ”

Xie Wan stared at the lines of the bluestone bricks on the floor and said, "Since the master asked, I naturally didn't dare to hide it." Li Ershun said that the ancestors of the Xie family were the ones who deceived the teacher and stole their reputation, usurped the family property of the tangerine leatherman, and replaced the heirs who should belong to the tangerine leatherman with the Xie family. I don't know who the tangerine leatherman is, so I naturally retorted, and Li Ershun became more and more proud. ”

At this point, she paused.

The temperature suddenly turned cold, and Xie Qigong's voice trembled. "What else did he say?"

Xie Wan still stared at the ground and said, "He then said that it was because the Xie family was crooked that he married a widow and entered the door." I said that there are no widows in our family, and he said that my wife is a widow, and I said that our lord is alive, where is my wife a widow?! ”

Someone above gasped and made the sound of nails scratching wood.

The air pressure has dropped to freezing.

Xie Wan continued: "He laughed at me for being a stupid girl who didn't understand anything, and said that if it weren't for the fact that the master married a country widow and came back, how could he do the thing of sending the young master's room to the young master's room before the filial piety period?" Then he slandered his wife for sending a maid to his mother Aunt Li two months ago to inquire about his brother and Yuxue, and asked his brother if he had any intention of accepting Yuxue?

"Of course I don't believe it, the maids around my wife are all delicate people, how can they inquire about such a thing? Besides, if Mrs. had inquired about these things, then no matter whether her brother and Yuxue were innocent or not, as the housemother of the Xie family, she would not have made the decision to transfer Yuxue to Xiaoxiang Courtyard alone.

But he actually knew Su Luo's name, and he could tell Su Luo's sister's appearance, thinking that it took a lot of effort to spread rumors in private. So when I saw him slandering my lord and wife like this, I couldn't help but beat him. Master, madam, I know that I am too reckless, and I should come back first to tell you, but I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to make a big show outside and ruin the reputation of the old lady, so I took matters into my own hands. Master, punish me. ”

She bowed her head and raised her little face.

On the top, Xie Qigong and Wang sat on the same head, and they were already stunned with anger and turned pale. Even the Ruan family, who used to be only clever with a belly, was so frightened that he couldn't know where to look.

Regardless of whether Li Ershun said these words or not, now that these words have reached Xie Wan's mouth, not only did he scold Xie Qigong and Wang without half a dirty word, blocking them from making a mistake, but also gently and skillfully corrected the reason why she beat people, in the case of outsiders attacking the Xie family like this, who can say that she hit the wrong person?

Wang stared at the delicate little face underneath, loosened his biting back molars, which were already a little sore, and reached out to support his forehead and close his eyes.

Where does this look like a child under the age of nine? If she's only nine years old, she's too witty! The family history of the ancestors of the Xie family is so well hidden, even Xie Hua and Xie Yun are not necessarily clear, she is so young, and there are few people she knows, why do she know so clearly? Moreover, how did Su Luo know about Su Luo's mother and son going to find the Li family?

When he was in Wang's house, Li Ershun told all the causes and consequences of being beaten in Huangshi Town. His flattery towards himself was not fake, and his anger towards Xie Wan was not fake, so she would recommend him to Zhao Countyling's wife afterwards to be a domestic servant.

If Li Ershun really said these words to Xie Wan, then how would he know why she saw him at the Wang family?! How could he tremble when he met her, and as soon as he heard her ask about Xie Wan's beating of him, he immediately complained about Xie Wan again, instead of hiding it from the left and right with a weak heart?

She was convinced that Xie Wan was lying.

However, at this time, it was useless to call Li Ershun to come over to confront him, Xie Qigong had already preconceived about Xie Wan's words, even if he didn't believe it all, he would not wait to see this Li Ershun again. If she had known, she should have brought Li Ershun first to sue Xie Qigong directly!

Who would have thought that a yellow-haired girl would muddy the waters?

——————————

After thinking about it for a long time, it was decided to change the age of Xie Wan's rebirth from five to eight years old, that is to say, she should be nine years old by the current plot. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but it's obviously more reasonable. Moda~·!
