Chapter 34: Rumors
When it was time for dinner, Cuizhu finally returned.
Chu Peijin saw that she was sweating lightly, and her sideburns were still a little messy, so she asked her to go and freshen up first, and she was not in a hurry to hear the news, Cuizhu hurriedly answered. After Chu Peijin had dinner, Cuizhu and Cuizhi took the little girl ring to help clean up, and then they went into the room with Chu Peijin.
Chu Peijin sat down on the low couch by the window and unconsciously looked up at the window. From here, you can just see the ink bamboo in the courtyard, perhaps because of the year, the small bamboo forest that can still be drilled into to play in the memory has already been dense like a green city wall. It's evening, and the sunset on the horizon is half-covering the sun behind the clouds like a splash of ink and oil paintings, and with this glimmer of afterglow, several swallows are shuttling in front of the court, looking forward to the last moment of the day to get rich rewards!
Thinking back to the past, Chu Peijin still remembered that there was a housekeeper who suggested that she want to trim this piece of ink bamboo so that it would not look so messy, but the former master did not agree, and she didn't know what she thought in her heart.
It's just that now, Chu Peijin feels that it's time to trim up!
"Tell me, what rumors have you heard outside?"
Finally speaking of this, Cuizhu, who has always been calm, couldn't help but show some angry emotions on her face: "Girl, there are some rumors outside...... Ugly ......"
Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows slightly, not surprised by this. If it was good outside, Chu Peilin would never say something like that.
"It's okay, you can tell me about it."
Rumors are such a thing, if you care about it, it will inevitably hurt you, if you don't care, it's just a gust of wind, and it's just a gust of wind!
Cuizhu saw that Chu Peijin didn't take this matter seriously, so she settled down a little, and then slowly replied: "The slave maid went to Guang'an Street, as well as Taihe Lane, and the slave maid found that what everyone said was basically the same, so I didn't inquire about other places!" ”
"I know Guang'an Street is a business, what is Taihe Lane?"
Chu Peijin almost never went out shopping, except for the memory of hearing about Guang'an Street, other places are simply unfamiliar.
Cuizhu hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the girl, usually the people who go to Taihe Lane are ordinary people, there are a wide variety of things, the prices are low, and they are basically common things used by ordinary people, and Guang'an Street is specially opened for those high-ranking officials and nobles......"
Chu Peijin nodded, indicating that she understood, and motioned for her to continue.
Cuizhu said again: "The slave maid has inquired, and the news should have gradually spread from Guang'an Street to Taihe Lane, and the first thing to spread was you...... Say...... Cuizhu's face slowly reddened, and a trace of anger slowly overflowed in his eyes, "Say that if you are sick, you should take care of yourself at home, and you will be embarrassed to go out...... Appear...... Eye, and said that you rely on your eldest sister to often bully your own sister, and your behavior is arrogant and domineering, and also, and that you love vanity, arrogance and jealousy, and like to rob other people's things......"
Cuizhu said this, and couldn't go on. In fact, she had already made a lot of effort and 'processed' several times before she could hear these words, and the rumored words were so ugly that people wanted to pull out the rumored person and dismantle them!
Chu Peijin couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said, "What is this?" As for it? Look at what got you tangled! ”
She couldn't help but think of her previous life from elementary school to high school graduation, I don't know how many bad things were passed on by those classmates and teachers behind her back, if she was angry with such an idea, wouldn't the more than ten years in her previous life be in vain?
Cuizhu was a little dumbfounded when she saw that her girl could still laugh after she finished speaking! That's not right! The girl used to cherish her reputation for love, but she didn't go out of the house all the year round, but as long as she heard bad rumors about herself in the house, she would be sad for several days, why was she so happy now?
Could it be that the girl is so angry?
Thinking of this, Cuizhu hurriedly comforted: "Girl, don't be angry, what others say is not true, the slave has been with you for so many years, what kind of person you are The slave knows best." Those who say bad things about you are because they haven't seen you or know you, so they say nonsense, don't take it to heart! ”
Chu Peijin smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Cuizhu, you don't have to be nervous, I'm really not angry." ”
Originally, she still thought that the former master was gentle, timid and cautious, and if she behaved differently than before, she would be burned as a monster. It's good now, if the rumors get bigger and bigger, once you do something out of the ordinary outside in the future, most of you won't be surprised!
Cuizhu observed Chu Peijin for a long time, and saw that her face was relaxed, and there was no trace of reluctance, so she breathed a sigh of relief!
"It's good that the girl can figure it out, and naturally no one will talk about these things anymore after a long time, and even if someone recognizes you when you go out, they won't say anything more."
"How's that going to work?"
Cuizhu's eyes widened, "Girl, you...... What does that mean? ”
What do you mean by 'how can you do that?' I just said that I mean to wait for the rumors to fade away, right? The girl actually disagreed? Could it be that the girl was not only angry and ruthless, but directly angry and stupid?
Chu Peijin's slender fingers tapped the pages in her hand again and again, and the dull voice made Cuizhu's heart beat suddenly, always feeling that she seemed to be getting more and more stupid now, why didn't she understand the meaning of the girl more and more?
"You say, what are they trying to do when they say that?"
It turned out to be looking for the culprit! Cuizhu patted his chest lightly, feeling that he must have been thinking too much just now.
"The slave thinks that the other party is just trying to ruin the girl's reputation!"
"Then tell me, what will be the consequences of ruining this girl's reputation?" Chu Peijin asked.
Cuizhu's huh? With a sigh, he couldn't help but scratch the top of his head, "The slave and the slave didn't find out who spread the rumors......
I can't find out who it is, so naturally I don't know what benefits the girl's bad reputation will bring to that person.
"It doesn't matter who he is, tell me what the consequences will be if your girl's reputation is bad?" Chu Peijin began to follow the temptation.
Cuizhu couldn't help but start thinking about it, her own girl had been staying in the house before, and it seemed that there was nothing to do; Since I went to Xia Mansion this time, there have been so many bad rumors. If your own girl has a bad reputation, then ......
Cuizhu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Girl, the slave maid has thought of it!" ”
Chu Peijin smiled slightly and said, "Let's hear it!" ”
She has been observing a few maids around her for a few days, and Cuizhu is loyal to her, but most of the time she just executes her orders perfectly, and her ability to think and adapt is poor; Cuizhi, on the other hand, is more lively, but he is not calm enough to deal with people. Cui Ping is careful, and the female red is good; And Cuilian is a very active girl, and she gets along well with other maids in the house.
In this era, if you want to live a stable life, you must first learn to protect yourself, so cultivating a few convincing people is an indispensable means.
