Chapter 074: Bad Reputation
Before noon, the vegetable market is still lively, people come and go, and there are all kinds of people selling vegetables on both sides, most of them are old and weak, women and children, and there is no lack of young guys and middle-aged men, but the feeling of this place and the Dahe shop is absolutely incompatible. This is probably the most popular place in a town where the poorest people gather.
Xue Lengyu shuttled through the crowd, but her mood slowly relaxed, she was just born in an ordinary family, and she was used to the hustle and bustle of the vegetable market, the liveliness of the food stalls, and the close contact between people. And no matter whether it is Muwangfu or Murong Mansion, it gives people a cold, thousands of miles away.
Xue Lengyu walked in the vegetable market, looking at the stalls on both sides, the goods of this era are really poor and single. In addition to fish, meat, chickens and ducks and other meats. Those who come and go are all vegetables for the season. This season, there are nothing more than lotus roots, cucumbers, winter melons, eggplants, greens, and nothing else. As for the fruits, they are even less pitiful.
Xue Lengyu was sad in her heart, and walked forward slowly, thinking about whether to buy something suitable for her and go back to try making a mask at night. But he hesitated that he didn't know anything about ancient silver coins, and he still had a lot of money on his body, in case he was targeted, or if he accidentally gave the wrong one, it would be a big loss.
While thinking, he walked. I turned a corner, but I heard a noise and noise, as if many female voices were talking at the same time.
Xue Lengyu saw all at this time. Fresh, hurriedly looked towards the place where the voice was made, but saw seven or eight women crowded in front of a stall, most of them eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, who were rushing to buy.
Xue Lengyu suddenly became interested, could it be what. What's new? Or it's particularly cheap, like a supermarket flash sale.
Xue Lengyu quickened his pace and didn't forget to stretch out his hand. touched the money bag lying in his arms safely, and hurriedly squeezed sideways into the pile.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. It's all there. A gentle, familiar voice soothed. The crowd also said: "This girl, you have a total of twenty yuan." ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhan." There was a hint of peculiarity in the woman's voice. Shy.
"I thank you for taking care of the business, take the things well." The sound of the wind and the song. The tone was as gentle as the warm sunshine of early summer: "Be careful on the road." ”
Xue Lengyu squeezed into the person. The group saw a cart selling peaches that should have been freshly picked from the tree, with fresh branches and leaves, and looked tender and delicious.
But obviously, this is not what attracts so many girls. In the middle of the stall, wearing a cloth coat but still looking handsome, he was busy in full swing, selecting goods for the girls, weighing them, collecting money, and the smile on his face was just as he saw that day.
Not humble or arrogant, peaceful and gentle. Zhan Feng Song bends down to pack goods for customers, which is a gentleman's demeanor. Straightened up and smiled, and the image immediately became taller.
The trace of coldness in Xue Lengyu's heart actually became gentle in that smile. Gentle, honest, and kind-hearted, such a man, even at the bottom of society, how can people ignore him. It is not like the cold and depressed of Shuli, it is not like Li Mu's superiority, and it is not like Murong Haoxuan's kindness. This man, even if it was only the second time they met, still made Xue Lengyu feel that there was no distance.
Not wanting to disturb him at this time, Xue Lengyu silently stepped aside sideways and watched from outside the crowd. After half an hour, the peaches on the stall were already sold, and the girls dispersed one after another, before they leaned forward.
Zhan Fengsong was lowering his head to pack up his things, and when he felt someone approaching, he said, "I'm sorry, it's already sold out." ”
Xue Lengyu smiled: "That's a pity, I still want to ask for two." ”
Hearing this voice, Zhan Fengsong hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Xue Lengyu, he was stunned: "Miss Xue, why are you?" ”
Xue Lengyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I was wandering around the street, and when I saw the excitement here, I wanted to come and take a look, but I saw a group of girls surrounding you here." Xiao Zhan, your charm is so great, look at those girls, their eyes are full of love. ”
Zhan Fengsong said to Xue Lengyu suddenly blushed, lowered his head slightly, and said, "How can there be...... Miss Xue, you're laughing. ”
It's so cute, seeing Zhanfeng Songjun's face flushed slightly, Xue Lengyu suddenly didn't dare to talk nonsense, I am afraid that people in this era are not used to making such jokes, and I really thought she was a frivolous woman, but she had a bad impression in her heart.
I don't know what to do, Xue Lengyu suddenly felt a little at a loss. Thinking about her identity, she suddenly felt a trace of fear, afraid that Zhan Fengsong would look down on her.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little gloomy, and Xue Lengyu, who thought he could be arrogant, was only staring at his shoes, not knowing what to say. Until a voice broke the silent but strange atmosphere.
"Ah, Xiaozhan, it's sold out so quickly." At the stall next door, an aunt in her fifties poked her head out.
Zhan Fengsong was startled, recovered from his chaotic thoughts, looked up and smiled: "Aunt Li, there are not many things today, so they sell quickly." ”
"You're still humble. It's not like you're handsome, a bunch of girls you provoked. Aunt Li's voice contained a hint of jealousy: "Hey...... I don't know if Old Man Zhan was lucky, he couldn't pick it up, and he picked up such a filial son like you and went home. ”
When Xue Lengyu heard this, he was shocked, what? Could it be that Zhan Fengsong is not the child of the Zhan family?
A few days ago, Xue Lengyu had a lot of things to do, and she didn't have time to think about Zhan Feng Song more, but now that Aunt Li said this, she remembered that at home that day, Xue's mother also introduced him to herself. If Zhan Fengsong was originally from this village, and she was the same age, even if she was not a playmate since childhood, there was no reason not to know her.
Zhan Fengsong didn't mind Aunt Li's rude words, she was notoriously gossipy and unpleasant in this market. It's an older woman again, can you still care about it like her?
Zhan Fengsong smiled slightly: "My fathers and mothers are good people, they rescued me, I should be good to them." ”
Zhan Fengsong's laughter was really a killing of the old and the young, Aunt Li's heart trembled when she saw it, and she couldn't say a word of the mean words below. He was about to turn around and go to his business, but when he saw the woman standing next to him, his eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "You are Xue Lengyu?" ”
Could it be that this Aunt Li also knows herself, Xue Lengyu couldn't say that she had lost her memory, so she had to smile and say hello: "Aunt Li." ”
Aunt Li was not as kind to Xue Lengyu as Zhan Fengsong, but her eyebrows jumped, and her voice was indescribably sharp and harsh: "Yo, why Miss Xue, a young lady like you would come to such a dirty place?" ”
Xue Lengyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know if Aunt Li had this attitude towards herself, she could only wonder if the original Xue Lengyu would put on a high-minded and invincible appearance, so she had conflicts with these people.
Xue Lengyu couldn't say anything, so she could only continue to smile: "Aunt Li really likes to joke. ”
"Are you kidding? Big lady like you, how dare I make a joke about you? Aunt Li didn't seem to intend to let Xue Lengyu go so easily, but instead amplified her voice, causing the people in the stalls on the side to look sideways.
Xue's mother sells some by-products in the market all year round to subsidize the family, so most of them are familiar with each other. It seems that they all know Xue Lengyu, and when they see her, there is a trace of disdain in their eyes.
I don't know what Xue Lengyu has done, so I don't know how to deal with it. What's more, the other party is still an aunt-level character, and Xue Lengyu doesn't want to scold her on the street, and loses her image in front of Zhan Fengsong. I felt a little sad in my heart, lowered my head, and said softly, "I'll go first." ”
Zhan Fengsong hurriedly said: "I've already packed up, let's go together." ”
Xue Lengyu didn't have time to speak, so she only heard Aunt Li say, "Xiao Zhan, it's not that I like to talk about other people's rights and wrongs, but I'm good for you." For a woman like Xue Lengyu, it's better for you to stay away. You know, she used to be ......"
Aunt Li pursed her lips, as if she didn't bother to say it.
Zhan Fengsong was displeased when he heard it: "Aunt Li, Miss Xue is a girl's family, how can you say this about her in public." ”
Aunt Li disagreed: "What did I say, is what I said wrong?" Seduces rich people and looks down on their parents. Those who spend their days drinking and drinking are left alone and helpless, hungry and cold. How can such a ruthless and vicious woman be worthy of such a good young man as you. ”
Xue Lengyu lowered his head and didn't speak, and sighed secretly. Can she speak? Shouted, in fact, I am not Xue Lengyu.
It's no wonder that others don't think she's crazy, and no one will believe it.
What's more, as far as her own understanding of the current situation is concerned, what Aunt Li said, I'm afraid that it is not a lie, even if it is a little exaggerated, Xue Lengyu's abandonment of her parents and marriage into Murong Mansion should be true. Otherwise, the current situation of the Xue family would not be so shabby.
Even if it is a concubine in Murong Mansion, if she makes a casual move, it is enough for the second elder of the Xue family to live a life of food and clothing.
Xue Lengyu was a little depressed and didn't speak, but Zhan Fengsong didn't want to hear people say this. At the beginning, he didn't have a good impression of Xue Lengyu, but when he met later, he saw that she could maintain herself in front of Xue's mother in that situation, so he didn't believe what he said in the message, and he didn't believe that Xue Lengyu was such a heartless woman.
"Aunt Li, did you misunderstand?" Zhan Feng said: "Miss Xue is not that kind of person, she is also very filial to Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue. ”
"Filial piety?" Aunt Li sneered, and suddenly said, "Now is it natural, have you been kicked out by the Murong family?" Except for the two honest people of the Xue family, who else would take in a concubine who was divorced. It is said that he was kicked out after doing many unseemly things. If she doesn't pretend to be filial, will there be a place to go? Xiao Zhan, don't be deceived by her appearance, such broken shoes deserve to be married for the rest of your life. ”
Xue Lengyu's fist was clenched and released, released and clenched. I really don't want to meet this middle-aged woman in general, but the more I listen to her, the more energetic she becomes, and the more she says, the more ugly it becomes, although what she said is Xue Lengyu's past, but first, it is untrue, and secondly, after all, she is listening to it now, and it is in front of a handsome guy like Zhan Fengsong.
After all, he couldn't bear it anymore, and Xue Lengyu shouted: "Enough." ”
Aunt Li didn't expect Xue Lengyu's sudden attack, her whole body couldn't help shaking, she took a step back, and then smiled harshly: "What? It was said that it was a sore spot, and I couldn't stand it. Since you dare to do those shameless things, why don't you dare to let people say them? ”
Xue Lengyu endured a little trembling, took a deep breath, stared at Aunt Li expressionlessly, and said word by word: "What shameless things have I done, you have to say them one by one." ”
"You ......" Aunt Li was shocked by Xue Lengyu's momentum for a while: "Those things you do, you also have the face to ask." ”
"Things?" Xue Lengyu snorted coldly and took a step closer: "If I used to be bad to my father and mother, it was my fault, but now I have changed, and my father and mother have forgiven me. Tell you, I, Xue Lengyu, have never been weak, even if I am not in the Murong Mansion now, if I provoke me, it will not make you live a stable life. ”
Aunt Li panicked and wanted to refute something, but she opened her mouth and didn't say anything. This Xue Lengyu, how is it different from her impression.
In the past, Xue Lengyu, even if he was arrogant, did not have the momentum he has now.
Xue Lengyu saw that Aunt Li didn't speak, and took a step closer: "I was taken out of the door by Murong Mansion, but let me tell you, I have never done anything that I shouldn't do, and I have never done a shameless thing, and now that I am standing in front of Murong Haoxuan, I can still be upright and upright." ”
Aunt Li was unconvinced: "If you haven't done anything embarrassing, how can you be kicked out." ”
Xue Lengyu said coldly: "You said you did it, you did it?" Did you see it with your own eyes? You just tell some rumors by hearsay, and you don't understand the truth, so you go around hyping it up and ruining people's reputations. Do you think you're proud and proud? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
I didn't know that someone next to me interjected: "Xue Lengyu, everyone knows about your things." Where do you still need Aunt Li's publicity. There is no wind and no waves, it can't be that Murong Mansion deliberately framed you, such a big family, you are a thing. ”
Xue Lengyuhe had been scolded like this, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to take something and smashed it into the place where the sound came from. Before she could speak again, it was a cabbage leaf that she didn't know where it came from, and it smashed in an arc in the air, and it was smashing on the placket of her clothes, and a dirty mark suddenly appeared.
Xue Lengyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was happening, and looked up to see a little girl who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, standing in the crowd of onlookers, still holding the posture of throwing things out in her hands.
The crisp children's voice said clearly: "A shameless woman, I want to seduce my brother Zhan." ”
