17 Humiliation

"Okay, what the lady says to write, what will be written next?" Although Hong Shan looked rough and fierce, he didn't expect that he was still quite easy to speak.

When the two of them returned to the shop, Qiu He was cleaning the scraps on the table, and when she looked up and saw Chu Yao leading a tall man back, she couldn't help asking, "Sister, who is this?" ”

"He's ......"

What's his name?

She never seemed to have asked for his name.

"This big brother, what's your name?" Chu Yao asked.

The dark guard clenched his fists, only to realize that he was still holding a wooden stick in his hand, and immediately threw it away: "In Xia Hongshan." ”

Chu Yao knew his name, so he was able to introduce him to Qiu He: "Qiu He, this is Brother Hong, the last time I was bullied, he saved me and broke that person's leg." It's just that Brother Hong does good deeds without leaving a name, I met him by chance tonight, so I chased after him......"

These words are half-true and half-false, but fortunately, Qiu He didn't doubt it, but suddenly realized: "It turns out that you just went to chase him, I thought you regretted and wanted to chase Jiang Yanei?" ”

"Don't mention him again," in front of Hong Shan, Jiang Qingci's name is still not mentioned, "Brother Hong wants to come over and borrow a pen and paper to write a letter, where do you go to the counter to help find out the pen and paper, I'll clean up the ...... here."

Qiu He learned that Hong Shan was Chu Yao's life-saving benefactor, so he was extremely enthusiastic, not only found a pen and paper for him, but also took the initiative to help him study ink: "Although I can't read, I am very good at ink research. ”

"Thank you, little lady." Knowing that she was illiterate, Hong Shan dared to write in front of her,

When it was almost cleaned up, Chu Yao brought a basin of water to wipe the ground, and Hong Shan just finished writing the letter, pressing the corner of the letter with a cup and waiting for the ink to dry. He snatched the basin and the cloth, and wiped the ground with a golden sword.

Chu Yao smiled helplessly: This Brother Hong, people are still weird.

Qiu He loosened his wrist and sat at the table curiously to read the contents of the letter.

Although she was illiterate, she could see that the words on the paper looked like chicken feet were gouged out, ugly teeth and claws.

"Brother Hong, I didn't say you, the handwriting on your hand is too ugly, more ugly than my second brother's writing......" Qiuhe was straightforward, and said whatever he thought.

Hong Shan smiled and said: "I am a person who practices martial arts, and I don't take the imperial examination, what's the use of writing such beautiful words?" ”

"It's useful, in the future, when you get married and start a business, can't you teach your children to write?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a teacher to teach?"

"Teachers have to teach, and parents have to set an example for their children." Qiu He thought that his second brother couldn't write well, and always said that it was because his father and mother were illiterate and couldn't teach him by word and deed, so he wrote so badly.

Hong Shan thought about this question seriously: "That's easy to do, in the future, I will marry a mother-in-law who writes well." ”

Qiu He sneered: "You are the one who will save yourself worry." ”

After the shop was cleaned up, Hong Shan collected the letter and said that it would be sent out early tomorrow morning.

On the second day, the shop opened as usual, and the business was still good, but Jiang Qingci didn't bring anyone over to cheer again.

Qiu He was still looking forward to it for a day, but Jiang Qingci didn't show up, causing her to complain a few words: "What a small-hearted person, can't he confess, can't he even be a friend?" ”

Chu Yao was glad that he didn't come, otherwise the two would only be embarrassed to meet, so it would be better to stop there, and have less contact in the future: "I already owe him a lot of favors before, and it's hard to pay back some, if I can stop here, he will no longer help me, and I will save the burden of repaying favors......"

"Jiang Yanei is actually quite good, if I met my cousin a few years ago, you didn't marry him at that time, so you didn't have to worry about the side room of the main room."

"Even if we had met a few years earlier, we wouldn't have been on the right track," Chu Yao muttered, "There won't be such a good thing as pie in the sky......"

Early in the morning of the third day, Chu Yao and Qiu He came to the shop earlier than the previous two days, preparing to sell the ingredients for sweet water today. The two sisters chatted and worked at ease.

When I was busy, I heard someone knocking on the door, but the shop was only open at the same time, so how could there be customers at this time.

"There are few guests, we are still preparing, and we will open later......" Chu Yao was just about to explain as she walked to the door, when she heard a familiar voice outside.

"Is it Sister A-Yao? I'm Su Nian, I have something to tell you......"

When Chu Yao heard that it was her, she hurriedly opened the door, and Qiu He also poked her head out of the back kitchen at this time: "So early, why did my cousin-in-law come?" After speaking, she remembered that she had made a mistake, and the other party was no longer her cousin-in-law.

Su Nian looked anxious, obviously coming in a hurry, and the tip of his forehead and nose was full of fine sweat. She didn't care about what Qiu He called her, so when she came in, she grabbed Chu Yao's hand, walked to the depths of the shop and asked her in a whisper: "Ah Yao, let me ask you something, do you know Jiang Qingci, the little lang of Jiangtong's judges?" ”

Chu Yao nodded: "I know." ”

"So what do you have to do with him?"

"Huh? Why did Sister Ah Nian ask like this? ”

Hearing these words, Qiu He also walked out of the kitchen and explained for Chu Yao: "Cousin Ayao didn't climb Jiang Yanei, it was Jiang Yanei who liked his cousin and wanted to marry his cousin as a child, but his cousin had already rejected him. ”

"Is that so?" Su Nian didn't have time to pant evenly, so he said, "The matter is urgent, so I will speak bluntly." Yesterday I heard them chatting that Jiang Qingci was going to marry a divorced woman to be the main room, so I had a dispute with my parents and was beaten and locked up. Mrs. Tong interrogated the little maid beside Jiang Qingci overnight, and asked all the things between the divorced woman and Jiang Qingci, I heard them say that the name of the divorced woman is the same as your name, so I came to ask you, but I didn't expect it to be really you......"

"It's me, it's true, but I ...... with Jiang Yanei" I thought that the two would have nothing to do with each other, but I didn't expect Jiang Qingci to go and tell my parents that he wanted to marry her?" There is nothing between me and Jiang Yanei, and I have never thought of marrying him. ”

"Are you saying that Jiang Qingci is making himself amorous?" Su Nianxiu frowned, "But the people in the Jiang Mansion didn't say that, they said that Jiang Xiaolangjun was confused by a divorced woman, and was deceived of five hundred taels of silver, not to mention, he still wants to marry someone back?" Now the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion has brought someone here, saying that he wants to teach you a lesson......

Chu Yao was stunned for a moment: "Huh? ”

Qiu He panicked: "How can this be?" Cousin didn't do anything wrong? ”

"Don't panic first," Su Nian comforted her, "I have been a female gentleman in Jiang Mansion for a few days, and they all know me as a housekeeper, if there is any misunderstanding in this matter, I will help you explain it, presumably they can also listen to my words, but you have to tell me the truth, what is the friendship between Ah Yao and Jiang Xiaolangjun?" ”

"They're talking nonsense," Qiu He said angrily, "Cousin is not what they say she is......

It's useless to be angry at this time, Chu Yao concisely told Su Nianyan about the process of her acquaintance with Jiang Qingci, and showed that she neither took Jiang Qingci's money, nor accepted his intentions, if Jiang Fu really sent someone to make trouble, she was not afraid, she was not afraid of shadows, it was a big deal to go to the yamen to argue!

Su Nian saw that she was in danger and upright, and she was a little more convinced of her words: "In this case, if we don't take care of the loss, we won't be afraid!" ”

Not long after, the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion really brought a few small servants to find him, standing outside the shop and shouting: "Which one is Chu Yao?" Come out! ”

His voice attracted the attention of many people, passers-by saw him like this, knew that there was a lively to see, so they gathered around, and after a while, they saw three clear and beautiful little ladies coming out of the sweet water shop, one race and one good-looking, passers-by were more interested.

"Mr. Su, why are you here?" When the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion saw Su Nian, he still had a little respect.

Su Nian calmed down and said politely to the housekeeper: "Steward Qin, I also know the purpose of your coming here, A-Yao is my sister, I have already asked her just now, what she said is a little different from the rhetoric of the Jiang Mansion, and I also invite Steward Qin into the house, and we will explain things clearly......"

Steward Qin received the order of Mrs. Tongju this time, and he came here to make a big fuss, so that the reputation of the divorced woman who seduced Xiao Langjun was ruined, how could he be persuaded by Su Nian in a few words?

"Mr. Su, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, your sister is not ashamed, and her cousin dares to seduce my family's Xiaolangjun who has not yet reached the crown, let everyone listen to this matter, how can there be such a shameless woman in the world?"

"Keep your mouth clean!" Qiu He was annoyed, "Who doesn't know shame? Who's shameless? It's clear that your family has a love for your cousin, and my cousin has rejected him, how can you be so bloody? ”

Steward Qin listened to the title in her mouth, and finally locked on the little lady in the middle, who was the divorced woman that Xiao Langjun wanted to marry. It's just that before coming here, he thought that Chu Yao was an older woman with charm, but he never expected the other party to be so young and beautiful, on that delicate and small goose egg face, a pair of black and white apricot eyes were elegant and waveless, and there was no coquettishness, and it really didn't look like a seducer.

It's just that there are more fox spirits in the world, how can those who are deep in the Tao be recognized at a glance.

Steward Qin stroked the goat's whiskers, and looked at Chu Yao with a look of contempt and disdain: "It turns out that you are Chu Yao?" It's just that you coaxed my little Langjun around, and it wasn't enough to cheat him out of money, but you also wanted to teach him to marry you as a lady? Bah! Are you worthy of a divorced woman? ”

These words were particularly insulting, and Chu Yao was about to stand up and distinguish clearly with him, but a person suddenly appeared in the crowd, and came to Steward Qin very quickly, and without saying a word, a fist the size of a sandbag greeted him......

That Steward Qin was a lean little old man, not tall, how could he withstand such a force, he was immediately overturned to the ground, his head slammed into the bluestone slab, and he opened his mouth to spit out two back molars, and the person fell stupid all of a sudden......

Seeing this, the little servants he brought with him immediately waved the clubs in their hands and beat them, never thinking that the strong man would beat them with one enemy and ten, and they would be bruised and swollen in a few moves, and they would lie on the ground and wail.

Steward Qin's head buzzed, and he covered his head and shouted: "Bold! Do you know who my master is? ”

Hong Shan said disdainfully: "Isn't your master just a broken sentence?" Can you still cover the sky with one hand? ”

When the onlookers heard this, they whispered: "It's actually a general sentence......

"So is this a bully bullying other people's little lady?"

"It's hard to say, who knows what's going on with that little lady and Lang Jun?"

Steward Qin saw that the strong man didn't even pay attention to the judgment, and his momentum suddenly faded by half: "You, who are you?" ”

"You don't care who I am, I just can't see you dogs climbing and biting other people's little ladies indiscriminately!"

Chu Yao was protected by Su Nian and Qiu He, and there was Hong Shan in front of him to support him, so he was not afraid at all.

She walked in front of Steward Qin, neither humble nor arrogant, and said clearly word by word: "Steward Qin, I and your Xiaolangjun were just friends in the past, I said that I received money from him, is there any evidence?" You say that I instigated him to marry me, but dare you ask him to come and confront me? You don't have evidence, and you don't dare to call your family Langjun over, all you can do is bring people here today to ruin my reputation and make me shameless to stay here. This world is not good to women, but you know how to humiliate a woman the most. You open your mouth to 'divorce' and close your mouth to 'go down to the court', I am and leave, not to go down to the court, and it is not a reason for you to use this to humiliate me! Today, let's go to the Yamen, you can sue me for the crime of cheating people out of money, and I will sue you for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, slandering and slandering and fallacies! ”

"Well said!" There were women in the crowd clapping and applauding, and then more people applauded in appreciation!

Steward Qin completely lost his momentum, and the little servant helped himself up, leaving a cruel sentence: "You wait for me!" ”

Then in the laughter and ridicule of everyone, he walked away.
