As soon as he heard this, the steward started laughing and said with disdain, "Oh, I'm talking about a poor scholar, but what you said is not trivial. It also embarrasses the face of a scholar. Can you afford the book?"
The man was also a proud man. Seeing that the housekeeper was helpless, he stood up with all his strength and said coldly, "Of course I came here to buy books. However, such a villain who is so unscrupulous for profit can be here." Appearing here shows that Hanlin Academy is nothing more than mediocrity! In that case, why should I waste my time here!"
After saying that, he dragged his lame leg and turned around to leave.
The person in charge was unwilling to give up. When he saw the man acting like this, he immediately grabbed his collar and pushed him to the ground. He said fiercely, "You poor scholar, how dare you scold me? I have to let you taste me today." It’s awesome!”
As soon as the steward finished speaking, several burly men rushed out of the room and stood behind the steward, looking a little hesitant.
Seeing that these big men were reluctant to take action, the steward immediately shouted, "What are you doing standing still? Give me a good beating!"
"Who dares to touch him?!"
At this moment, a female voice was heard scolding. Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman walking out from behind the crowd. She was wearing a goose-yellow dress and finely applied makeup, which made her look particularly attractive.
Xie Ruzhuo had never been to Hanlin Academy before, and the person in charge didn't recognize her. Seeing her come forward at this time, I thought it was a young lady who was fighting an injustice, and immediately said arrogantly, "Little girl, do you know whose land is here, and you can meddle in it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman suddenly approached, stretched out her hand and slapped her!
It’s okay for the manager to be in charge. He was beaten with stars in his eyes. In his ears, he heard Xie Ruzhuo reprimanding, “As a manager of the study, you should set an example and treat the literati with courtesy, but you did the opposite and treated this person just because of your clothes. This young master is so arrogant and rude. Gentlemen do not distinguish between high and low, but the power of petty talents depends on others! How can the Xie family tolerate you if you act like this?!"
"I'm telling you, it's up to the Xie family to decide whether they can tolerate me! Yellow-haired girl, who are you? You dare to hit me!" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment after being beaten, and immediately became furious. If it weren't for her luxurious clothes, I'm afraid I've already started.
Qianbi on the side had already helped the man up with a look. When he heard the steward's words, he snorted coldly and said, "I really blinded you. The person in front of you is the fourth member of the Xie family." Miss!"
Hearing this, the steward immediately stopped and his previous arrogance was instantly extinguished. He knelt down on the ground with a pop and said with a smile, "Oh, it turns out to be our young lady. The little one has eyesight but cannot see the mountains. How are you? Forgive me!"
"Bah, are you worthy of being a member of my Xie family? Now just pack up your things, pack up and leave. Our Xie family can't tolerate a villain like you, otherwise we won't even know how the Xie family's reputation has been harmed!"
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, the manager suddenly turned pale and said, "Fourth Miss, you can't do this to me. I have seniors and juniors all pointing to my job to support the family. It's my fault today. But you can’t cut off my life just because of my small mistake!”
"Have you cut off your livelihood?" A way to survive!”
After saying that, she ordered the big men again, saying, "You are all people invited by the Xie family, who specialize in fighting the troublemakers. What are you doing in a daze? Beat this evil slave out for me, and you will not be allowed to do anything with him from now on." He then goes into all the shops under the Xie family’s name!”
After Xie Ruzhuo finished speaking, he no longer looked at the steward. He only turned to salute the man and said sincerely, "The evil slave is shameless and has offended sir. This matter is the negligence of the Xie family. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the Xie family." ”
When the man saw her acting like that, most of his anger had already dissipated. When he saw her saluting, he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Miss Xie, you're welcome." These days, he heard the rumors about Fourth Miss Xie in Beijing I had heard a little bit about it, but when I saw it, I realized that what I said was true.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and said, "Looking at your noble temperament, you can tell that he is a man who has read a lot of poetry and books. The Xie family's Hanlin Academy has always been full of rare books from all over the world, and there are also some unique copies. If you are interested, sir, why not go in and pick one out? Two."
She spoke sincerely, and the man felt comfortable listening to her. He immediately bowed again and said with a smile, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Seeing the man enter the study, Qian Bi curiously asked in a low voice, "Miss, why didn't you tell him to give him a few books?" Seeing that the scholar was short of money, if he really loved books, wouldn't it be better to give him a few books? Can it solve his urgent need and still show the sincerity of the Xie family
After listening to Qian Bi's words, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said, "This gentleman is very proud. If you really do what you want, it would be alms to him. To him, it would be an insult. I admire this gentleman." The gentleman is naturally incapable of doing this."
The scholar had already stepped into the door of the Hanlin Study Room, and he actually listened to the words of their master and servant. He paused slightly, secretly sighing at Xie Ruzhuo's good character, and he also looked at the Xie family more and more differently. got up.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't expect that today's unintentional act would actually solve a big disaster for the Xie family one day. But at this moment, the resentful look in the steward's eyes before leaving made her feel wary.
After the scholar came in, Xie Ruyue followed and gave instructions to the person at the counter. Xie Ruzhuo knew what she was going to do, so he didn't say much and just stood there waiting for her.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a soft female voice coming from behind, "I didn't expect to meet Sister Xie here. We sisters are destined to be together."
She could recognize this voice even if it broke bones and raised ashes. It was no one else but Shen Jingci.
Xie Ruzhuo slowly put on a perfect smile, then turned around and said, "Sister Shen can walk. I can meet you wherever I go."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci's eyes flashed slightly, and then she pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Isn't it because Sister Xie doesn't welcome me?"
"How could it be possible? What Sister Shen said doesn't mean she doesn't believe in the friendship between our sisters." Xie Ruzhuo said calmly, but she did not hide the defensiveness in her eyes.
Shen Jingci was choked by her, forced a smile, and then changed the subject, "I was looking at the crowd just now, and my sister was quite powerful. It's just that this servant went too far. I'm afraid he was like this because of the power of the Xie family. "The family tradition is like this, but I have wronged my sister." These words were a roundabout way of saying that the Xie family's family tradition was not good, which caused the servants to look down on him.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled softly and said, "I'm just a slave, how can I act on behalf of my Xie family? There are many people watching today. I believe that the gentlemen present will explain it for the Xie family. After all, everyone will inevitably have a few fish in troubled waters." You are a villain, it is indeed the Xie family's negligence."
"It's rare for a sister to be kind-hearted. It's hard to say whether this kind of person is an exception." The smile on Shen Jingci's face did not change, but she looked like she was going to throw dirty water on the Xie family. .
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo looked puzzled and said, "Sister Shen is so strange today. In the past, whenever the head mother of the family was around, you would always praise the people of the Xie family. But now that I am alone, you are targeting Xie everywhere." Home, it makes Zhuoer a little bit confused."
When Shen Jingci heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth. These words clearly slapped her in the face, saying that she had taken advantage of the situation.
"What did Sister Xie say? I'm just discussing the matter." Now was not the time to break up, so she could only apologize and laugh.
Xie Ruzhuo said "Oh" and said with a smile, "Sister Shen looks in a hurry. She must have something to do, right? Just go ahead and Zhuo'er won't disturb you."
The other party had issued an eviction order, and Shen Jingci was too lazy to stay any longer. She forced a smile, turned around and walked towards the outside.
After Xie Ruyue finished giving instructions at the counter, as soon as she came out, she saw Xie Ruzhuo staring at something with a somewhat unfriendly expression. She walked forward and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Xie Ruyue coming out, Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "It's okay, I just met a fly." After that, she asked again, "Have you explained everything?"
Xie Ruyue smiled in surprise, "Are you the roundworm in my stomach? You know what I'm going to do."
"That's natural." Although Xie Ruzhuo just explained that he could not give away books, it did not mean that the Xie family really had nothing to express. You can't give it away obviously, but you can still sell it to him at a low price secretly.
Xie Ruyue went in, most likely for this reason.
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo saw her plan, Xie Ruyue smiled softly, and while helping her get into the car, she smiled and said, "I just saw you acting like a mistress. If I go back and tell my mother what happened today, After all, she definitely won’t worry that you won’t be able to control the slaves after you get married.”
"Bah, you Xie Ruyue, you actually laughed at me." Xie Ruzhuo said, seeing the people around slowly dispersing, he took advantage of others' unpreparedness and attacked Xie Ruyue's soft flesh.
Xie Ruyue was suddenly attacked, and her waist lost strength, and she immediately collapsed on the carriage. She glared at Xie Ruzhuo, who came in next, and said angrily, "Xie Ruzhuo, let's see how I deal with you!"
Xie Ruzhuo dodged the clinker nimbly, with a bit of pride in his expression, "Second sister, if you do this again, I will go back and tell my mother that you are old and disrespectful!"
"Bah, bah, bah, you're old."
The two of them laughed and laughed all the way. After going to the tea house to have snacks, it was already past noon.
Xie Ruzhuo glanced at the sky outside, then ordered the waiter to pack snacks, and then said, "That incident happened a few days ago, and I didn't even have time to say a few words to Qing Lan. I'm going to see her later. Is sister going?"
Xie Ruyue knew that she had a good relationship with Jiang Qinglan, and she also admired Miss Jiang's temperament, so she smiled and said, "You can go by yourself. I'm a little tired and have to go back and take a nap."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo responded with a smile and sent Xie Ruyue onto the carriage. Then he took the two maids Qianbi Hongrui and walked towards the Jiang Mansion not far away.
Not long after Shen Jingci arrived home, she heard Baoqin coming to tell Mrs. Shen that it was the head of the family who had invited her.
Shen Jingci was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, "I understand, let's get over it." She couldn't hide everything she did now from Mr. Shen, and it was probably because of holding Qin in her arms. Now her dissatisfaction with Bao Qin is increasing day by day. Unfortunately, it is not time to touch her yet!
Baoqin just nodded and said, "The slave is waiting here for the young lady." After saying that, he stood at the door and waited quietly with his eyes lowered.
Shen Jingci gave her a cold look, slowly pinched the ivory comb in her hand again and again, then put it down with a "pop", and said casually, "Let's go, otherwise grandpa will be in a hurry."
