Chapter Seventy-Eight: Nothing to Do
Chapter Seventy-Eight
A lot of things are like that, and as long as you don't care about it, it's not a big deal. What's more, as Shanniang said, no one had the courage to directly put those words in front of her, so she was not bothered by these rumors. But there are people who love to find her unhappy.
Female students generally don't have any serious classes in the afternoon, so they leave school earlier than male schools. On this day, because Shanniang wanted to buy a set of pen and ink, Lin Ruzhi couldn't accompany her because of something, so she took You Hui and Zhao Xianger to the pen and ink shop together. After buying pen and ink, the girls usually go shopping for a while. A few people were talking about the new fabric in a fabric store, and Shan Niang suddenly heard someone calling her behind her.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a carriage slowly stopping on the side of the street, Yuan Changxing jumped out of the carriage, and smiled at her: "What a coincidence, I actually met the thirteenth sister here." Sister, this is shopping? ”
Nonsense! Shanniang rolled her eyes silently, but it was not good to lose the due courtesy in front of You Zhao and the others, so she smiled and exchanged a few words with Yuan Changxing. I didn't want Yuan Changxing to hit the snake with the stick, and said: "It's rare to meet my sister, I'll be the east, please ask my sister and these two girls to go to the teahouse over there to sit and rest, okay?" ”
This Meishan Town is a little bit bigger, so You Hui and Zhao Xiang'er also knew that this Yuan Changxing was Shanniang's cousin, so they both turned their heads to look at Shanniang.
Shanniang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need, we have to buy some other things, it will be dark later." ”
"In that case, let's do it next time. However, just the three of you, it's very uneasy, why don't I accompany you, and I can help you get something. When Yuan Changxing said this, he completely regarded the maids who followed each of the three girls as invisible people.
You Hui couldn't help but squeeze her eyebrows at Zhao Xiang'er. Shanniang firmly and resolutely rejected Yuan Changxing's offer again.
After rejecting his mention for the second time, Shan Niang was worried that Yuan Changxing would continue to entangle her, but she didn't want him to take a step back, and said with a polite smile: "In this case, I won't bother my sister." Next time, I will have the opportunity to invite my three younger sisters to tea. After saying that, he turned around and got into the car and left.
Looking at the carriage in the distance, Shanniang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She was thinking about the intention of Yuan Changxing's move, when You Hui suddenly came over and whispered in her ear: "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief." ”
Shanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at You Hui.
You Hui leaned on her shoulder and smiled: "Didn't you say that the two of you are going to get married?" He is so attentive to you, he can't think of you, right? "There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that this marriage has been dragged on for almost two months, and the people in the town who should have heard the wind have already heard the rumors.
Shanniang couldn't help but pout, "This matter has nothing to do with me, so I won't get involved." ”
In the words of future generations, Zhao Xiang'er is a "face control", and he couldn't help but clasp his hands together and say obsessively: "If that Yuan Changqing is still worth considering, he, I think it's better to forget it, just that pimple on his face makes people look invisible, like a clam-toad." As he spoke, he shook his shoulders, which made Shanniang and You Hui laugh.
Shanniang said: "Whether it's Yuan Changqing or Yuan Changxing, I'm not interested. Just thinking about being called 'Ape Clan' in the future makes people feel uncomfortable. ”
Her words immediately made the two of them laugh again.
But since the day of the fight, Shanniang suddenly found that this Yuan Changxing has a haunting meaning, and she can meet him wherever she goes. And every time he would come up and offer some small courtesy, and every time he would retreat very cleverly before her face was wrong. If it weren't for the fact that she almost suffered his loss in her previous life, Shanniang would be more wary of him in her heart, and maybe she would have been able to gradually treat him as a friend.
On this day, because she helped Mrs. Lin deal with some things, Shanniang left the girls' school much later than usual. When she came out, the sky looked overcast, as if it might rain at any moment. And when she arrived outside the mountain gate, Sanhe, who had been waiting there for a long time, looked a little wolf, with abrasions on the back of his hands and cheeks.
Shan Niang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Sanhe said: "I don't know what happened just now, the car was parked well, and the horse was suddenly startled, and the wheel was also broken." Now the car is being pulled to repair, I call someone ......"
Before she could finish her words, someone next to her suddenly interjected and asked, "What's wrong?" I heard that your carriage had an accident? ”
Shanniang looked back, but it turned out to be Yuan Changxing who came out of school. Looking at him, her eyes couldn't help blinking--he had obviously just come out of school, how did he know that something had happened to her carriage?
Yuan Changxing looked up at the sky worriedly, and said, "This sky, it looks like it's going to rain, or I'll send my sister back." ”
Shanniang had doubts in her heart, so she naturally wouldn't agree to him rashly, so she shook her head and declined: "No need, I'll go back with my brother later." ”
Yuan Changxing hurriedly said: "But the seventh brother has already left, so I'll send my sister." ”
Shanniang didn't believe his words, so she looked back at Sanhe.
It was only at this time that Sanhe had a chance to pick up the words that had been interrupted by Yuan Changxing just now, and said to Shanniang: "Uncle's car left before our car had an accident. But I've already sent someone back to call a taxi, do you want the girl to go back to school first, etc.? I'll call the girl when the bus arrives. ”
Otherwise, outsiders say that the fifth master is a loser who can spend money and not earn! One of the evidences is that there are only five masters in the family of the fifth master, and there are actually four carriages, one of which is a Western-style carriage that the old man spent a lot of money to get back from other cities - in fact, it is not to blame others for such a misunderstanding, although everyone in the town knows that the fifth master is obsessed with painting, but few people know that a painting of the fifth master can be exchanged for a big carriage very light. Therefore, there is really no shortage of carriages in Shanniang's house.
But the question is......
Shanniang looked up at the sky.
Yuan Changxing said very sincerely: "It will be dark in a while, and this rain will not look small, if my sister wants to stay in school and wait, I will accompany my sister to wait." ”
Shanniang looked at him, since she couldn't get rid of him, she might as well agree, so she bowed to Yuan Er, "Then it's the second son." ”
Yuan Changxing immediately laughed, and hurriedly led Shanniang into his carriage.
After Shanniang and Sanhe sat down, the carriage started. Yuan Changxing is very good at chatting, and he chatted with Shanniang's parents all the way, but there was no cold time. Only when he was close to the Fifth Old Master's Mansion did he suddenly fall silent, looked at Shanniang and said, "I've been worried about my sister these days, but now I feel relieved to see that my sister's complexion is fine." ”
Shanniang looked at him in confusion.
Yuan Changxing sighed, looked at Shanniang for a while, and then suddenly said very abruptly: "Sister, don't worry, I don't believe those gossip, my sister is ...... in my heart"
As if he suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth, he shut up suddenly, looked out the window and said, "My sister has arrived." Then, without waiting for the carriage to stop, he hurried out of it, as if he were running away from something.
Before Shanniang could say anything, Sanhe had already subconsciously clenched Shanniang's arm. After the master and servant exchanged glances, Sanhe helped Shanniang get out of the car.
As if she hadn't heard his abrupt words before, Shanniang smiled, thanked Yuan Changxing for a while, and then was taken into the mansion by Yan Bo, who was guarding the door.
Watching her back disappear into the gate, Yuan Changxing's eyes flickered suspiciously, and then tilted his head again. Although he is not very old, he is also a senior gentleman in the capital, and he often likes to provoke some little girls by teasing cats and dogs. He thought that dealing with the thirteen-year-old man who looked like a dirt bun was a matter of hand-to-hand capture, but he didn't want this thirteen-er's appearance to be different from the girls he had provoked before......
Don't talk about Yuan Changxing, just talk about Shanniang. Walking in the alley, thinking about Yuan Er's performance just now, Shanniang suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, turned her head and pushed Sanhe, who was still holding her arm, and said, "What did you pinch me just now?" ”
Sanhe looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that the girl will be fooled." But our girl is smart. The words landed, and the raindrops that had not yet fallen also fell to the ground, and the master and servant hurriedly carried their skirts and ran wildly before the heavy rain fell.
Wufu took it out, looked at the rain splashing under the corridor and said, "Yo, this rain is really heavy, but the girl came back in time." He added, "Mother Li hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid I'm going to get drenched." ”
Shanniang then remembered that the nurse had asked for leave to go home again.
When Li's mother came back, it was as Wufu said, drenched like a chicken in soup. Shanniang had already gone to bed at this time, so she ordered Sanfu and Wufu to help Li's mother clean up. After a while, Sanhe went up to the second floor again, and saw that Shanniang was not sleeping, and was looking at her with her arms propped up, so he stepped forward and whispered: "It's okay, it's not injured, there is a knee injury, I'm afraid my mother has knelt at home." ”
Shanniang frowned and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Can you ask anything?" ”
Sanhe shook his head, and suddenly said again: "By the way, the bracelet on my mother's hand is gone." ”
Shanniang sneered, "Needless to say, it must have been used as gambling money by that person again." As he spoke, he slammed the bed hard, "Why didn't she leave that person?!" ”
Sanhe sighed: "Mom is afraid of gossip." As the old saying goes, a soft tongue can crush a person. ”
Shanniang slammed the bed angrily again, "Only by taking those words to heart can those words crush people to death!" But those are all irrelevant words spoken by irrelevant people, why should the nurse take those irrelevant people and words to heart?! Could it be that those people are more important than us in the hearts of the nurse?! Shanniang, who was also gossiping, really couldn't understand Li's mother's thoughts.
Since that day, Yuan Changxing has always looked at Shanniang with a strange (Xu himself thinks it is affectionate) eyes, and he looked at Shanniang for a while, and then avoided him. And every time Yuan Changxing caught her alone, he would always leave a few words that made people have room for reverie. So much so that in the end, it was even hinted that she had someone else in her heart, and he was still committed to her......
To be honest, Shanniang was blinded by his cousin. She really couldn't understand what he was trying to do this, even in combination with the previous life, she still couldn't guess his intentions. Jealous of Yuan Changqing? That's for sure, she knew in her previous life that he had been jealous and hated Yuan Changqing. But what about him provoking her? Did he really think that there was something between her and Yuan Changqing, so he wanted to dig into Yuan Changqing's corner?!
- Haha. Shanniang didn't think this joke was funny at all!
After the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the rainy season, and the entire Meishan Town is shrouded in a mist of water. Sometimes it is sunny occasionally, and before it is late, there will definitely be a light rain again. When Shanniang thought of Yuan Changqing from Yuan Changxing, she found that it was already mid-May, and Yuan Changqing didn't seem to have come back.
It was only then that Shanniang was finally sure that she had finally left Yuan Changqing behind-if it weren't for Yuan Changxing, she wouldn't have realized that Yuan Changqing hadn't come back at all.
However, it is neither Yuan Changqing nor Yuan Changxing who has annoyed her recently, but her nurse.
Shanniang found that recently people from the nurse's family came to find her very diligently, no matter how Shanniang asked, the nurse only refused to tell the truth, and Shanniang really didn't worry about the nurse, so she secretly entrusted Uncle Gui to help inquire about what happened to the nurse's family. Then she learned that the nurse's gambling husband owed a lot of gambling debts outside, and forced the nurse to give him money to pay off the debt every day.
Therefore, when she came home from school that day and saw that the man came to pester the nurse again, the angry Shanniang couldn't hold back for a while, and immediately ordered the doorman to beat the man away with the door bar.
And this scene just made Yuan Changxing, who was passing by, look at it squarely.
