Overall, Xue Tingxiang is happy to see this happen.
It is better to harm others than to harm yourself.
Only Wu Wanqiong, who still goes to work in the flower shop every day, caused him some headaches. He hoped that the girl would retreat despite the difficulties, instead of making a fuss, because after all, he should not know the eldest girl of the Wu family.
Seeing Shen Shi, Xue Tingxiang tidied up the duty room and planned to pay.
When he walked to the gate of the Hanlin Academy, he happened to meet a group of people, it was these new Hanlin students who were in the same department as him.
Surrounded in the middle was a very handsome young man, and it was Tao Yitong who was the center of the rumor. Seeing that he was extraordinarily energetic, he seemed to be talking to the people beside him.
As soon as Xue Tingxiang came out, these people stopped talking immediately.
Tao Yitong was carrying his body behind his back, and when he saw that the people around him were unusual, he turned around. Seeing Xue Tingxiang, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his chin again and nodded: "Xue Xiuzhuan."
"I have seen Xue Xiuzhuan."
Everyone else gave salutes one after another, but Tao Yi did not move. Xue Tingxiang glanced at Tao Yi in the same way, then nodded, and without saying a word, passed over the group of people and left.
After he left, Tao Yi Tongfang snorted disdainfully.
There was someone who was deliberately trying to please, and he approached him and said, "Brother Tao, why bother with this group of people, don't look at him with six yuan and the title of Xiuzhuan, but who doesn't know that he is a squatter? The cold bench. This cold bench is probably going to sit for a lifetime, how can it be compared with Brother Tao."
Tao Yitong's young face was full of arrogance, but he just smiled and said nothing.
This 'don't say anything' was learned by Tao Yi and the nearest party. In fact, he knew this before. Given his family background, how could he be qualified to hold it with others. But today is different from the past, and he is not the one he used to be.
A burst of energy filled his chest. He looked around and said loudly, "It's better to hit the sun if you choose another day. How about I invite you all to drink?"
"How can I ask Brother Tao to invite him? Naturally, I am waiting for Brother Tao to invite him."
While talking, the group of Hanlin left.
On the street not far from here, a carriage was parked.
In the carriage, Wu Wanqiong covered her face and cried while she said to Amber, who was sitting opposite her: "Amber, look, such a powerful and arrogant person, my father wants me to marry such a person. ."
Mrs. Wu, the original wife of Mrs. Wu, died prematurely. The current Mrs. Wu is a sequel, but she has a quiet and cowardly temperament, at least in front of Mrs. Wu and Wu Wanqiong. And Wu Wanqiong didn't have any close female elders since she was a child, and Wu Ge was busy with the affairs of the court. Many times, Amber was like another elder of hers.
So this time, Wu Wanqiong turned to Amber for help.
Naturally, Amber watched the scene from the beginning to the end. Seeing this, he sighed and persuaded: "Girl, if you really don't want to, just talk to the master, and the master probably won't say anything."
"But my dad he..."
"Girl, if it's really hard for you to talk about it, the old slave told the master about this. The master would not know that it was a fire pit, but he forced the girl to jump into it. The master is also impatient, girl, you must not blame the master."
"Why would I complain about my father? I know he is doing it for my own good. But he really is!" Wu Wanqiong didn't say the rest, but he could see the contempt on his face.
"Girl, this pottery is still young, young people are inevitably full of anger, and it is only natural that they can't hold back when they are complacent."
"But why can't that person just now?" Wu Wanqiong was impatient and subconsciously said.
Amber paused for a moment: "The girl was talking about the young man from before?" His eyes became meaningful, and he looked at Wu Wanqiong and said, "Girl, how did you know this son, do you know who he is?"
Wu Wanqiong smiled covertly, lowered his head and wiped his tears with the veil: "How could I know this person, I just saw that he clearly heard what those people said, but he reacted like that."
"Really?"
The meaning of Amber's words was too obvious, Wu Wanqiong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Amber, have you misunderstood, how could I possibly know him..." The rest of the words, after seeing Amber's eyes, finally Silenced.
After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Amber, do you know something?"
Amber sighed heavily: "Girl, do you know who he is?"
Wu Wanqiong did not speak.
"He is that Xue Tingxiang, the one who almost ruined the master's face, and made our Wu family almost lose his reputation for the rest of his life. How could you be involved with such a person? If the master knew about it—" Amber's appearance Very distressed: "Girl, you are really confused."
"Amber, did Yingge tell you something?"
"Girl, do you still use Yingge to tell the old slave about this?"
Yes, what is there about Wu Mansion that Amber doesn't know about? Even if he didn't know it, as the general manager of the Wu Mansion, he was also a confidant of Wu Ge's old man. If he asked, Yingge and even Ah Wu would not dare to say nothing.
Wu Wanqiong's face stiffened: "Amber, did you tell my father about this?"
Amber shook his head: "Master asked, but the old slave didn't say anything. Girl, you can't go on wrong again."
Wu Wanqiong's face was even stiffer, and her mouth was tightly pursed. Although she didn't say a word, the expression on her face all showed the resistance in her heart.
"Girl, you should know that this son has caused great losses to the master, and he is definitely not a good match."
"Even if it's not a good match, it's more than a thousand times better than that person!" After the words were spoken, Wu Wanqiong realized what she said, but it was too late to take it back, so she could only continue to maintain a stubborn silence.
Amber looked at her helplessly: "Girl, the old slave has already said what he should say, you can think about it for yourself. How could the old slave watch you grow up since you were a child, how could it hurt you. Not to mention this son and Wu Jianai He is the enemy, he has a wife and children, girl, do you want to be a kid?"
For the sake of this, Wu Wanqiong couldn't keep silent, so he could only whisper: "Amber, I understand what you said, don't tell my father about this, I won't continue."
Amber gave her a worried look, but could only nod.
Xue Tingxiang returned home, changed his official uniform as before, and went to the shop in front.
Surprisingly, Wu Wanqiong is not here today.
Did he finally give up
He asked casually, only to find out that it was Wu Wanqiong's family that had something to do, so he asked for a day's leave.
Zhao'er glanced at him and asked curiously, "You've been rather strange recently, why are you so concerned about Wan Qiong?"
Xue Tingxiang's heart tightened and he acted as if nothing had happened: "Is there any?"
Zhao'er nodded: "Of course, you have never been like this before. Even when Yanran and Tao'er were still there, I didn't see you asking so often. Could it be that—" Zhao'er narrowed his eyes and stared again. Looking at him up and down: "Do you think you have any thoughts about Wan Qiong?"
This was originally a joke, but after speaking, not only Xue Tingxiang felt uncomfortable, but Zhao'er was also a little uncomfortable. Because of this, her eyes gradually became a little weird, and she couldn't help but look at Xue Tingxiang again.
Xue Tingyan pulled her over: "Where did you think of where I am?"
"How do I know if you are such a person? It's not often played in big dramas. After some people become officials, they take concubines and concubine wives, and even do something with the maids at home, maybe even stealing the same A little widow who lives on the street. Wan Qiong is a widow, she is beautiful and virtuous, maybe you fancy someone."
Xue Tingxiang was very speechless by Zhao'er's words, and couldn't help but say, "What kind of drama are you watching? Why do you do everything? I don't remember hearing you say that you like to watch dramas. Where do you watch big dramas?"
"It's not the kind of big drama that the grass stage opera troupes perform in the festival or in the village. I used to watch it when I was a child."
Xue Tingxiang knew that this kind of drama was a wild group who couldn't get along in the city and could only set up a stage to sing and make a living. There are few people, and the appearance is also simple and vulgar. They all play some bullies to oppress the women of good families, the old officials beat the mandarin ducks and occupy the people's daughters, or some bitter scenes close to the life in the countryside.
The beginning and the process must be miserable, but the ending must be evil and good.
Xue Tingxiang didn't like to watch this kind of drama when he was very young, but he couldn't resist the majority of the bottom people like it. Especially the country people, men, women and children of all ages love to watch it. They know where there is a big show and can walk ten miles in groups to watch it.
"You've watched too much drama!" Xue Tingxiang patted her butt angrily, Zhaoer hurriedly pinched his hand, and said that it was in the store, not at home, so don't mess around.
Saying that, Xue Tingxiang asked Zhaoer if he was jealous, but Zhaoer didn't admit it.
The two of you come and go, and this topic is naturally skewed to the horizon. When the commotion was over, the two of them hurriedly packed up and closed the shop door when they saw the weather outside, and Zhao'er's suspicions disappeared without a trace.
On the other hand, Xue Tingxiang had nothing to look for, so he asked about it again after a rest in the evening, and also asked Zhaoer what she would do if she really begged his wife one day.
Zhao'er answered cheerfully: "It's not easy, I'll take Hong'er with me, and let's go to live our own lives. As for you, take good care of your little wife Mei."
"Don't even think about it." Xue Da Zhuangyuan, who had nothing to do with abuse, could only angrily press his eldest wife under him to calm the shame in his heart.
Not to mention this, Wu Wanqiong came to work the next day after taking a day off.
Treating her as before, but the previous thing still exists, so I can't help but pay attention to the other party.
Women are always good at finding imaginary enemies for themselves, and Zhao'er compares herself with Wu Wanqiong, and compares them with the past, and finds that they are really inferior to others except that they can make money.
For this reason, I usually neglected to dress up my tricks, and finally began to face this matter.
It's a pity that it was only three days of excitement, and she quickly put it behind her head.
On this day, Zhao'er ate a handful of melon seeds while gossiping with Wu Wanqiong.
It happened to be talking about the incident that Xue Tingxiang told her about the Hanlin Academy.
"You talk about this, isn't it unusual? It's also because we weren't rich enough. If we were rich enough, we could be like that girl from the Wu family, and men from all over the world could choose at will."
She didn't notice Wu Wanqiong's strange expression, and continued without wink: "Fortunately, that girl Wu didn't like Hong'er's father, otherwise I'd designate to make trouble with him."
"What if the girl from the Wu family likes Hong'er's father? Zhao'er, what will you do?"
Zhao'er looked at her with a smile: "Wan Qiong, you shouldn't take it seriously, I'm just kidding. The Wu family is such a precious old lady, can she like our father Hong'er? Although Hong'er's father is young You're young, but he's the father of the child, as well as the daughter-in-law, unless the girl of the Wu family has her head caught in the door, she'll take a fancy to Honger's father."
"There's always a chance for everything."
Zhao'er blinked: "What if the Wu family girl's head is caught by the door?"
Wu Wanqiong took a deep breath and forced a smile: "In case you like it."
"Then she is shameless."
"Ah!" Wu Wanqiong was not prepared to scold.
Seeing her frightened expression, Zhao'er smiled a little embarrassedly: "If this matter is left in our country, it will be shameless. Anyone who knows about her will have to slap her, call her shameless, and rob someone else's man. , how bright your face is!"
Wu Wanqiong couldn't sit still, stood up in a hurry, and said to Zhao'er, "Zhao'er, look at the store for a while, I'll go to Gongfang."
"You go."
When Wu Wanqiong's figure was hidden behind the door, a thought flashed in Zhao'er's eyes.
