Chapter Seventy-Seven

Shan Niang came out of her wife's embroidery room, and when she looked up, she saw her brother Hou Rui and Uncle Gui standing in the courtyard of his wife.

She hurriedly went over and asked Uncle Gui, "What's the matter?" How can the lord ...... well?"

Uncle Gui waved his hand at her and led the Shanniang brothers and sisters out of his wife's yard. A few people came to the side hall and sat down, and Uncle Gui told Shanniang the whole story again.

But it turned out that since a long time ago, the fifth master found that Mama's hands and feet were not very clean. It's just that, at that time, the relationship between the wife and the master was very stiff, that is, the master wanted to say it, but he was afraid that the wife would not believe it; Second, Ma's mother is just a little cheap, Mrs. Yu has no big loss, and the master feels that there is no need to ask Mrs. to worry about this little thing, and he will secretly help to make up if he can make up.

“…… In the past, Ma Pozi just used the interest on his wife's Zhuangzi to lend money, or to repay more and less, which were just small means, but after the spring of this year, she somehow suddenly became bolder, at first she said that Zhuangzi was affected by the disaster and swallowed the land rent on Zhuangzi, and later said that the tenants wanted relief, coaxing the wife to pay money, and now the lord got the news, saying that she actually coaxed his wife to sell his wife's dowry Zhuangzi cheaply. The old man felt that he couldn't care about it anymore, but he didn't want his wife to know that he was sad, so he thought about asking Ma Pozi to raise it, but who knew that Ma Pozi was about to make trouble, and his wife didn't know what to do, and he pleaded for Ma Pozi, and the old man was angry. ”

Shanniang frowned and said: "The master hid it from his wife out of kindness, but if it is because of this, the wife has a dislike for the master, it will be more than worth the loss." Uncle Gui should persuade the old man to do so. ”

Uncle Gui's hanging hands shook each other and sighed, "How can you not persuade it?" But the old man's temper girl also knows, and she is angry at this time, and she can't listen to persuasion. ”

Hou Rui looked at Uncle Gui, and then at Shanniang: "Then, we can't do this, right?" ”

Uncle Gui said: "Or, the girl and the uncle try to persuade the master again?" ”

Shanniang was pondering how to persuade the master, and Hou Rui suddenly said, "I'll go." You can't let the old lady be so deadlocked. ”

Shanniang looked up in surprise, she didn't expect that Hou Rui, who was so afraid of the master, would take the initiative to say this.

Xu is surprise was too obvious, Hou Rui rolled his eyes at her, and said, "How can I say that I am also the eldest in the family, and I will always bear the things that should be borne by me." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

Shanniang hurriedly grabbed him, "What are you going to tell the master?" ”

"What else can I say? Just tell the master what you just said. Hou Rui said.

Shanniang said: "But Uncle Gui should have told the master these words a long time ago, and the master was willing to listen to it, so he listened to it a long time ago." ”

"What then?" Hou Rui couldn't do anything.

Shanniang thought about it, and was just about to say, "I'll go with you", when she suddenly looked at Hou Rui and changed her words: "Let's discuss first." ”

She pulled Hou Rui back and sat down, and said, "Why is the master angry......

Before she finished her words, Hou Rui said: "What else can I do for it, for my wife's unappreciation." ”

"But my wife doesn't know the truth." Shanniang gave him a detailed analysis and said, "The old man felt wronged, so he stubbornly refused to tell the truth to his wife. The old man only felt that he was wronged, so he didn't think that his wife didn't know anything, and suddenly heard that the old man was going to send his nurse away, what would the wife think. In other words, the master himself, I am afraid that he will have to beg for a few words of love for his nurse like his wife. Master, this is getting into the tip of the horns. He added, "Mrs. has a heavy heart, and all thoughts are only hidden in his heart, if the master refuses to make it clear, I am afraid that the misunderstanding with his wife will be difficult to solve." ”

Hou Rui blinked, stood up suddenly, and said, "I know what to say." As soon as he turned around, he walked away in a hurry.

Shanniang looked at his back and smiled. When she turned around, she saw Uncle Gui squinting at her.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Uncle Gui smiled: "I thought the girl would go with me." ”

Shanniang smiled, but did not squeak. For a moment, she really wanted to come forward by herself, but after thinking about it, she felt that she could take advantage of this opportunity to let Hou Rui's father and son communicate with each other more, so she only pointed out a few words to Hou Rui from the side - if it was before, she would definitely not be at ease, but after experiencing a past life that was not good for breaking her heart, she felt that it was time to learn to let go.

"I always feel that after the girl comes back, everything is different at home." On the side, Uncle Gui suddenly said.

Shanniang was surprised for a while, and when she looked up at Uncle Gui, Uncle Gui had already bowed to her and retired out of the flower hall.

Looking at Uncle Gui's distant back, Shanniang couldn't help but tilt her head, even now, she still felt that Uncle Gui was the most mysterious person in the family, which was incomprehensible.

I don't know what Hou Rui told the master, after Shanniang sat in the side hall and drank half a pot of tea, she saw that the master broke into his wife's courtyard with the same wind and fire as Hou Rui.

Behind the old man, Hou Rui was pacing triumphantly with his hands behind his back. Seeing her standing under the porch looking at him, he raised his eyebrows at her arrogantly with a look of admiration.

Shanniang couldn't help but laugh - sure enough, even if she let go, it doesn't mean that others can't do things well.

Hou Rui shook over, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Do you want to go and see how the master begs his wife for mercy?" ”

Shanniang smacked his elbow into his arms, rolled her eyes and said, "The master just gave you a good face, and you are going to rebel again?!" He added, "Hou Jue doesn't know what's going on there." ”

Hou Rui was silent. Ma's mother and daughter are not very good to Hou Rui, from his and Shanniang's standpoint, these two scourges are far away from the house, but for Hou Jue, they are the relatives who raised him.

"Ma's mother, do you want to sue him?" Hou Ruidao.

"Of course!" Shan Niang said, "If you don't tell him, you will make him have a misunderstanding in his heart." He sighed again, "Master's incident this time is a lesson, sometimes, you think it's for the good of the other party, but in fact, it's not good for both sides." ”

Hou Rui was silent and said, "That guy is definitely going to cry again." ”

In fact, the five old masters are quite similar, they are all the kind of people who are not good at expressing emotions, as long as Hou Rui thinks of Hou Jue's crying and crying, he only feels uncomfortable, and he is busy shaking his hand to Shanniang and saying, "I don't want to see him cry." ”

When Shanniang came to Hou Jue's courtyard, the little fat dun was lying on the couch with his head bowed. Seeing that Shanniang was coming, the little guy hurriedly jumped up, rushed over and grabbed her sleeve, and Baba asked, "When did the master say when he was going to pick up my aunt back?" ”

Shanniang sighed secretly, reached out and touched his head, pulled him back to the couch and sat down, carefully told him everything word for word, and said: "They have done something wrong, naturally they will be punished, this has nothing to do with you, if you miss your aunt, then tell the old lady, when it is time to rest, let people take you to see them." ”

Hou Jue loosened Shanniang's sleeves and stood there letting the tears fall down.

Shanniang's heart softened, she reached out to hug Xiaopang, and said, "If you want, I will accompany you." ”

*·*·*

The old lady made such a fuss, but Shanniang was distracted, and she forgot about the "scandals" about her for a while. It wasn't until she saw Chen Lijuan and Lin Ruting in the lecture hall the next day that she suddenly remembered this incident.

It's not that she has a big heart, but now she is no longer as obsessed with other people's evaluation of her as she was in her previous life. And if a person has figured it out thoroughly, he will always become more transparent than the average person. Now Shanniang only cares about what the people she cares about think of her, as for what those irrelevant passers-by A will think, she doesn't care, anyway, except for the angry Fourteen, probably no one will directly move these gossips in front of her.

Of course, she is not afraid of moving it directly in front of her, although she has not been with anyone for a while, she believes that her skills should still be there.

Soon after Shanniang sent the letter for Yuan Changqing, the fraudulent donation was also investigated, and all those donations and good things were distributed before the Dragon Boat Festival.

In fact, to put it mildly, Shanniang is not a very careful person, when she didn't know about those "scandals" before, she didn't feel anything unusual, but now that she knows, those details that she usually doesn't notice make her see some clues.

For example, Senior Lin Ruting Lin seemed to be more polite and polite to her than before.

For another example, Senior Chen Lijuan and Chen seem to be more polite and polite to her than before.

For another example, Senior Chen Lijuan and Senior Chen have become more polite and polite to Senior Lin Ruting and Senior Lin.

And Senior Lin's eyes looking at Chen Lijuan were a little gloomy and depressed.

Also, Senior Liu Mei seems to prefer to stick to Lin Ruting's left and right......

Of course, every time she approached Lin Ruting, almost everyone present would subconsciously stop talking, turn their heads and sweep back and forth between her and Lin Ruting with strange eyes, as if they were afraid that a wrong eye would miss the opportunity to witness their "adultery" with their own eyes.

In her previous life, Shanniang liked to express her opinions and thoughts in a tortuous way, but in this life, after experiencing a few hearty and direct expressions, Shanniang fell in love with this straightforward way.

When she came to the podium in the center of the lecture hall with the ledger, once again, the eyes of everyone upstairs and downstairs were quietly staring at her and Lin Ruting.

Shanniang threw the account book on the bookcase in front of Lin Ruting, then propped up the table with both hands, looked at Lin Ruting and said with a smile: "Senior Lin, I heard a joke, it seems that many people in the school are spreading it now, saying that there is some ulterior secret between you and me." ”

At this moment, Lin Ruting was sitting behind the bookcase and checking the accounts with Liu Mei and Chen Lijuan. As soon as Shanniang said this, Lin Ruting's pen suddenly dragged out a long line like an earthworm on the ledger, Chen Lijuan, who was holding the ledger, looked at Shanniang stupidly, and Liu Mei stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and the entire lecture hall became quiet in an instant, as if there was no one here.

Shanniang was very satisfied with this effect, so she smiled and fired another shot, "Some people also say that I secretly wrote some love letters to Senior Lin behind my back." ”

She suddenly turned around, looked at the people who were stunned by her words and smiled: "It's been hard work for everyone today, while doing things, I have to secretly watch the movements of me and Senior Lin, I saw that someone almost stepped on the empty stairs several times." In order to let everyone do things with peace of mind, today I will tell you the truth, what I hate the most is the word 'sneaky', if I like anyone, I will definitely sue him in front of him, so that I will not write any love letters pretendly, let alone secretly give it to whom! I think that eight or nine times out of ten, the person who spread this word wanted to write a love letter to Senior Lin, but he didn't have the courage to make up such nonsense! She glanced back at Willow Eyebrow.

Liu Mei's face immediately turned red.

Shanniang smiled slightly, turned her head and looked at everyone: "Okay, I've finished what I should say, everyone should also take care of it, what to do and what to do." Next time you have anything to say, just ask me face to face, it's a joke to step on the stairs and plant your teeth for these things to catch the wind and shadows! ”

When Shanniang said this, Lin Ruzhi, who had been following her, was also stunned by her. It wasn't until Shanniang pulled her out of the lecture hall that Lin Ruzhi came back to her senses, looked at Shanniang with a shocked face and said, "My God, why is there such gossip?" Why didn't you sue me?! And he said, "I thought I was a bold man, but I didn't expect ......."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard that the lecture hall exploded like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, and it turned out to be the people inside who did not react until this time, and there was a burst of discussion. is now Da Zhou is enlightened, the world's requirements for girls' names are still very strict, a girl encounters this kind of rumors, often can only pretend not to know and silently endure, therefore, Shanniang's self-refuting words, in the ears of everyone is quite shocking, there is the conservative, saying that Shanniang is cheeky and not ashamed, and dares to talk about this kind of thing in public; Naturally, there are also those who are reasonable, thinking that Shanniang is doing the right thing. But no matter which one it is, they all believe it, and the rumors about her and Lin Ruting are rumors.

That You Hui and Zhao Xiang'er ran over holding hands, and as soon as You Hui saw Shanniang, she stuck out her tongue and said: "You are also bold, this kind of thing is detrimental to our girls' reputation." When someone says that, even if you hear it, you have to pretend not to know, but you actually shout it in public, and you are not afraid of people saying that you are not ashamed! ”

Shanniang sneered: "The more unsightly things I see, the more I dare not take them out to see people, I am selfless in my heart, what dare I not say in public?!" And I think the reason why they dared to talk so unscrupulously was because they thought I would not dare to confront them, but I did just that! I'd rather be told I'm not ashamed than endure those unfounded slanders. I want to see if any of them dare to mumble behind my back, and if they have the ability, they will be crooked in front of me, and see that I don't slap her face with big ear braces! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Xiang'er slapped Shanniang's shoulder suddenly, "That's how it should be!" The more you don't squeak, the more those people will be reckless! I didn't know before, but if I knew, I would have helped you get through the bracket first! ”

Lin Ruzhi, who was silent with his head bowed, suddenly raised his head and said suddenly: "I said that my brother has been worried for the past two days, it turns out that it is because of these rumors!" She was about to say something, but as soon as she looked up, she suddenly saw Lin Ruting also coming out of the lecture hall.

Seeing Lin Ruting watching them coming, You Hui and Zhao Xiang'er hurriedly avoided it, and Lin Ruzhi also quietly retreated. Lin Ruting looked a little embarrassed, and apologized to Shanniang: "Such a misunderstanding should have been clarified by me, but those people are all talking behind their backs, and I can't explain it if I want to......" He sighed, "You are still brave." ”

Shanniang suddenly pursed her lips and admitted, "I'm really braver than you!" ”

Lin Ruting was embarrassed.

Shanniang said again, "It's not that I'm talkative, who do you like in your heart, so quickly pick it out with people and say it, you should ask the matchmaker to invite the matchmaker, how to do it, quickly cut off those people's thoughts!" If it weren't for the fact that you are kind to everyone here all day long, and people have delusions in their hearts, I wouldn't be targeted! ”

Although Lin Ruting is no wonder about this matter, Shanniang at this time feels that she still has a good temperament like Yuan Changqing, who is clear and cold, and will not give people any superfluous thoughts - of course, she has forgotten about Fourteen Niang for a while.

However, it seems that only a few people know about Yuan Changqing and her "scandal", and all the gossip outside is about her and Lin Ruting, but few people will mention Yuan Changqing.

Shanniang thought that after her bold argument, this matter should end here. But I didn't want to, this matter only stopped for two days, and there were rumors that she was actually secretly in love with Lin Ruting, and those words were just to arouse Lin Ruting's attention to her......

After Shanniang got what she had to say, she didn't bother to bother with these gossips. Her brother Hou Rui couldn't pretend not to hear it, so he had two fights with people in the academy, and was called by the fifth master in the school.

Now that the master finally has the appearance of a master, he did not send Uncle Gui or Shanniang to replace the parents, but came in person. Hou Jue was still stubborn and refused to tell the master the reason for the fight, but after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and in the end he still let the master know about it. The old man was so angry that he almost beat the other party's bear child again. It was still Shanniang who persuaded the fifth master: "The body is not afraid of shadows, and it is not worth it to be angry for irrelevant people." ”

In many cases, the rumor spreads not because it is fact, but because it fits the inferior mentality of some people who hunt for curiosity, and the deliberate spread of some people for some ulterior purposes. In short, it was not long before Lin Ruting and Chen Lijuan officially got married, and there will still be people who mention the "scandal" between Shanniang and Lin Ruting from time to time.
