Village Flowers and Female Scholars

The restaurant is now fully staffed, and Xie Yan almost no longer interferes with the affairs of the restaurant. This day, as soon as he went out, he ran into Zhuang Wan who was walking towards his house.

"Go to a restaurant?" Zhuang Wan asked.

"Where's Granny Yu?"

"Her foot hurts and it's inconvenient to go out today. I'll make another bowl for her when I come back later." Zhuang Wan shook the food box in her hand.

When Xie Yan saw her, he grinned, grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go."

Zhuang Wan thoughtfully opened her arms slightly for her to hold, but unexpectedly, Xie Yan's slippery little hand got into her cuff all of a sudden, and stretched in to grab Zhuang Wan's hand.

"Hiss—why are your hands so cold?"

Zhuang Wan looked at her crooked eyebrows and twitched her mouth: "It's always been like this, when the ice arrives, don't hurry to take it out."

"Hmph, don't take it, I'll warm it up for you." Xie Yan is now familiar with Zhuang Wan, and she didn't see her, she inserted her five fingers into the other's and clasped them tightly.

Sensing the other party's slightly dodging fingers, Xie Yan clasped them tighter and muttered, "Why are you hiding?"

Zhuang Wan stopped struggling in an instant, and let her hold it, but her small earlobe was quietly stained with a touch of pink, and when Xie Yan caught a glimpse of it, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she thought of something.

The two held hands and walked slowly towards the entrance of the village. It took only one stick of incense to reach Ningxikou. Today is the market day, and there are many pedestrians and carriages on the road. Seeing the two beautiful figures approaching from far and near, pedestrians passing by also rushed Looking back, I want to see whose girl it is.

Xie Yan and Zhuang Wan looked calm, talking and laughing all the way towards the restaurant.

In fact, most of it was Xie Yan who was saying that Zhuang Wan was listening and would respond from time to time, and the wanton scrutiny of passers-by did not affect their good mood.

No one noticed that a carriage staggered past among the pedestrians, and Xiao Pan stabbed his son's arm in the carriage and said, "Look, Xie's restaurant is really popular, and the queues are all outside. You don’t know how much money you earn in a day, why do you dislike others.”

Fang Wenbo had long been attracted by the two figures from near to far, and he came back to his senses after being stabbed by his mother, and asked a little confused: "You think the woman next to Zhuang Xiucai is Xie Jinniang? It doesn't look like it, it seemed a little shorter and thinner before, and it's not so white and so good-looking."

Only then did Xiao Pan see the two women who were crossing the main road, and after seeing who they were, she gave him a blank look and said, "This girl used to have enough food and clothing at Cao's house, but now she earns money by herself after being separated. Eat, this stature has also grown taller, and it looks a lot better, with those bulging breasts and buttocks, it looks like you can have a son, and marrying her will not embarrass you."

"It's you who say whether to marry or not. It's all right now. Now that their family is rich, how can they still look at our family!"

"Bah, what's the big deal, no matter how rich you are, you still have to marry. Besides, our family has a marriage contract with her, and we can't allow her to quit if she wants to."

Fang Wenbo leaned out and glanced at Zhuang Wan next to Xie Yan. As always, she was graceful and graceful, like a spotless fairy, and then looked at Xie Jinniang, who was as agile as water, and she was completely different from the dull and weak feeling before. It was difficult to choose for a while .

Until the mother on the side pulled his shoulder again and said: "These two women look good at first glance, but the dealer's is just a poor scholar with a strange temper. After getting married, he doesn't know whether his parents-in-law will take care of her or not." She takes care of her parents-in-law, but any educated woman is usually not disciplined, and it would be a hassle to marry home, who would want to marry a scholar from the countryside, no wonder no one proposes a marriage even in her late 20s, tsk."

Fang Wenbo's face turned ugly: "When it was rumored that I was dead, you made a fuss on your own initiative, and Xie Jinniang's mother and daughter were almost sold because of this. Now that we come to ask for a marriage, their family must have complained. I don’t know what to do yet.”

Hearing what his grandson said, Mrs. Lao Pan became unhappy: "We didn't do it on purpose at the beginning. If you can live well, who would want to make such a fuss? Besides, our Bo'er will test for talent in the future. It is said that she is a woman who digs food in the fields, even if she is a businessman now, and the businessman is cheap, she can marry a scholar. I don’t know the blessings she has cultivated in her lifetime, and she will not be happy in time.”

Xiaopan also echoed: "Bo'er, the county exam is about to come, you have to prepare for the exam during this time, as long as there are no mistakes this year, we will be a scholar if we get out of the list. There is no need to pay taxes on the mu of land, and your parents and your grandmother can speak loudly in front of others, and our old Fang family can feel proud in the village."

Thinking that she will soon have a son of a scholar, Xiao Pan couldn't help but straighten her waist a lot.

When Fang Wenbo heard his mother and grandmother singing together, he felt restless. He hadn’t read a single word of the song he had been missing for nearly a year. He felt that everything he had learned before had been fed to the dogs. Books, as if they don't know those words, are struggling.

But at this time, it is not easy for him to tell this matter. His brother and sister-in-law have been confessing for his studies all the time. After so many years, he has already complained a lot. If he knows that he is not sure, he will definitely quit. The source is cut off, so what else can I continue to enjoy.

What's more, if he doesn't study, he has to go to the fields. He really can't bear the hard life of picking up big dung and cutting rice.

Now the only way is to start with Xie Jinniang.

But just a few days after he came back, people from the village came to him again.

In order to seek justice for their son, the Fang family had gone door-to-door asking the village to send a group of middle-aged men to go to Shangyan Village to seek an explanation from the Cao family, but in the end they returned with nothing, and the Fang family did not say anything. have to.Since then, the people in their village have been pointed out by other villages from time to time. Fang Wenbo is not dead now, and their behavior at the beginning has become a joke. No matter where they go, someone always makes fun of it They, and what's even more hateful, there are people who wrote this story into a storybook, and spread it from ten to ten. Except for the Cao family in Shangyan Village, the whole village of Wutong Village has become a laughing stock.

The more this group of men thought about it, the more angry they became, and they gathered together to find Fang Laoer for an explanation.

Fang's second child knew that he was wrong, so he had to kill a pig in the family, and invited the villagers to have a meal as an apology.

Because of this matter, Da Pan and Xiao Pan were so angry that their noses were crooked. They were pointing at Sang Sang and Huai Huai at the door of their house every day. They didn’t know who they were scolding. It's good to go to quarrel, but this family is becoming more and more unpopular in Wutong Village.

Fang Wenbo is not around, and his brothers and sisters-in-law are not necessarily very sad. After all, they don't have to work to death to earn money for him to study. He and the old lady preferred the youngest son, and even offended the villagers for the sake of the youngest son, but the big and small pans couldn't listen to it. Now Fang Wenbo is their baby bump, and he will be a scholar in a short time. Don't love him or anyone else.

Fang Dalang and Fang Erlang felt disheartened, so they asked Lizheng from Wutong Village to ask for a separation. After a lot of trouble, they were still separated. Fang Wenbo and the Fang family lived together, and Mrs. Fang was supported by several grandchildren in turn.

Without the subsidies from Fang Dalang and Fang Erlang, Fang's second son and his wife Xiaopan's daily income was not enough for Fang Wenbo's expenses. Now pens, inks, papers and inkstones are expensive. She received Lao Pan's hand and distributed it to her, but she was also a stingy master. When the family was divided, she didn't give Fang Wenbo and his two elder brothers a penny, and hid it tightly.

Even for his beloved little grandson, Lao Pan is not very generous, and every expenditure is calculated clearly. It is difficult for Fang Wenbo to get money from the old woman. To get money there, he had to urge Fang Wenbo to find Xie Yan in private to make contact with each other, while he made arrangements for the matchmaker to go to Xie's family to propose marriage, thinking that once Xie Jinniang's marriage was settled, the income of their restaurant would not be from his own. My son has the final say.

Fang Wenbo went to Xie's small courtyard a few times, but the courtyard was tightly surrounded to guard against Cao's family. No matter whether he was in the house or not, there was a big lock in front of the house. Even if someone was inside, once knocked, thank you The family members saw him coming from the small hole, so they didn't open the door at all.

Fang Wenbo went home and lost his temper a lot, blaming his parents for going too far to find fault with him, and now Xie's family members don't want to see him when they see him, and now they have no way to start.

Fang's second child was also tortured by his mother and his own wife back then, so he went door to door to ask for justice at Cao's house. Now he is blamed by his son, and the big fat pig that has been raised for more than a year has been slaughtered to give an explanation to the villagers. Distressed, there was nowhere to vent her anger, and she couldn't help venting her anger on the big and small pans.

"Bo'er, didn't you know someone in Shangyan Village before, let him help you find a way." After being beaten up, Xiao Pan had to go to his son to complain.

After hearing what she said, Fang Wenbo went out for a long time with a tiger's face.

I don't know what plan he made, but since then, Fang Wenbo went to Xie's restaurant to eat noodles every day, and didn't leave after eating. He sat on the seat with a book and stared at the door to see when Xie Yan would come to the restaurant.

Restaurants never drive away customers, and diners are always sensible, and they leave automatically after eating noodles. Who would want to sit in the restaurant and never leave.

The point is that Fang Wenbo didn't come alone. If she was alone, the Gao family would definitely not give him a good look. After all, when the Fang family came to embarrass Xie Jinniang, she and several women in the shop were present, but now he came to sit in the shop. He even called A Liang and Sun Ruo from Shangyan Village.

Sun Ruo is down-to-earth and hard-working, but he is simple. His mother, Mrs. Xiaohua, works in the store, and he often visits the store. Now he and his father have packed the firewood in the store. When he is free, he will come over to help chop firewood for cooking. Something else or something.

But the strange thing is that his good brother A Liang has followed him every day in the past few days. Sun Ruoxin thought that since he is a good friend, it doesn't seem like a big deal anyway, not to mention that the third son's family is from Shangyan Village. An only child, the husband and wife are in pain, and no one can say anything.

But who would have thought that Ah Liang and Fang Wenbo knew each other, they came together and helped him with the work.

After Xie Yan found out about this, she went directly to Lizheng's house to look for Mrs. Gao that night.

The next day, Gao Shi went to work in the store as usual, how could those three boys get up as early as these women, Gao Shi first talked to Miss Xiao Hua, and then started the day's work.

Sure enough, around ten o'clock in the morning, the three of them met again. Mrs. Hua grabbed Sun Ruo by the ear and went to the back door, yelling at him to go home quickly. I asked another woodcutter to get it, and warned him that if he dared to associate with Fang Wenbo again, Xie Jinniang's family would be upset, and they would not even be able to keep their jobs as a mother and Aunt Hua.

Sun Ruowa knew that this matter would be so serious. At first he thought he would bring his brothers to play, and Xie Jinniang and Fang Wenbo had a marriage contract before. Fang Wenbo has always been polite in front of people. Being a scholar is a sure thing. The girls in the nearby villages all fall in love with him. In front of Sun Ruo, Fang Wenbo is even more affectionate. The only one he likes is Xie Jinniang. The simple Sun Ruo doesn't even think about it. He agreed to bring them to play together, and wanted to create opportunities for him and Xie Jinniang, but he didn't expect that Xie Jinniang didn't like this person at all. He knew how important this job was to his mother and aunt, so he hurried back without saying anything. home.

As for He Youliang, Gao didn't even look at him, walked straight towards Fang Wenbo, grabbed his book and threw it out, cursing: "You want to study elsewhere, don't delay our restaurant business, How did your Fang family treat us Jinniang back then, and now you still have the cheek to post it, bah."

Fang Wenbo's face was flushed by the scolding, and the surrounding diners, influenced by the storybook and gossip, all cast contemptuous glances after recognizing him.

No matter how thick-skinned Fang Wenbo couldn't stay, he finally ran away.

And the only one left, Ah Liang, saw that his good brother was not there, and no one talked to him when he was sitting in the store. He said: "Ah Liang, don't run into the store if you have nothing to do, Jinniang asked us to work here, these are our own duties, do you want her to fire us and hire you instead? "

As soon as Ah Liang heard it, he couldn't stay any longer, so he left in despair.

-------------------------------------

After Cao E came back in the afternoon, she told Xie Yan about all these things. Zhuang Wan wrote the storybook in her room, and naturally listened to the words. After Cao E went out, her whole face was as cold as ice scum .

Xie Yan saw her displeasure and said: "Ah Ruo, this child is so innocent, how could he be friends with these two."

"In the past, Sun Ruo and He Youliang almost drowned when they went swimming by the river, and He Youliang helped him, and then they came back with their lives saved. After that, the two were inseparable from Meng Meng, but this He Youliang was not a good thing. "

Xie Yan saw that she was quite critical of this Ah Liang, and said with a smile: "How can you tell that he is not a good guy? Could it be because of the incident at the foot of the mountain that day?"

When mentioning the bushes at the foot of the West Mountain, Xie Yan couldn't help but recall the first intimate contact with Zhuang Wan at that time, and her charming thoughts could not help but linger in her heart.

But Zhuang Wan's expression was still not very good, she was silent for a long time before shaking her head and said: "It's not because of this, but this matter has something to do with you. At first I thought that Fang Wenbo would not come back, so I didn't plan to tell you about this matter. But now that this person not only came back, but also has ulterior motives for you, I can no longer hide it."

Seeing her serious face, Xie Yan's heart was suddenly alarmed. There were rumors in the village that Zhuang Wan and Fang Wenbo were having an affair when they just passed through. Hearing what she said from time to time, she was always a little uneasy, for fear that the two of them really had a relationship.

When she thought of the relationship between the two, she felt jealous.

But I heard Zhuang Wan say: "Last year, around the beginning of September, when I came back from my private school, I passed by the river and overheard that Fang Wenbo and He Youliang were conspiring. At that time, you will no longer be a good match, and the Fang family intends to withdraw the marriage, but with the Cao family as people, this marriage must not be easy to withdraw, so they came up with a bad move, asking He Youliang to find a chance...to defile you, and then design to arrest you... If He Youliang pours sewage on you, you will say that you seduced him, and then you will bear the reputation of not being a woman, and when the Cao family has nothing to say, Fang Wenbo will be able to retire smoothly."

Xie Yan never expected such a thing to happen, she froze in place for a while, and it took a long time to react, a raging anger ignited in her chest, and the manuscript paper in her hand was torn to pieces at once.

If she hadn't transmigrated, what kind of tragic end would the poor original body face? Even if she had transmigrated, if Fang Wenbo hadn't had an accident, if she was accidentally tricked by these two despicable villains, What will happen then.

"Why did you tell me now?" The matter was so important that Zhuang Wan actually suppressed it until now. Xie Yan had nowhere to vent her anger and couldn't help venting her anger at her.

Seeing that she was angry, Zhuang Wan didn't defend herself, and thought for a long time before saying, "Fang Wenbo disappeared because of my involvement in this matter. As for how he disappeared and where, I'm sorry I can't tell you—I thought this It's settled."

Xie Yan was stunned for a long time before clarifying the question in his mind: "Did you design Fang Wenbo to be beaten to death by bandits?"

"you can say it this way."

"Then since it disappeared, why is it released again?"

"I didn't know about Fang Wenbo's return, but now that he has indeed returned, I can only tell you about this and be prepared to prevent this person from repeating his old tricks. Of course, your family is living like this now. Honghuo, I believe he won't be thinking about getting divorced with you as before, on the contrary, he can't wait to fulfill the marriage with you as soon as possible."

Xie Yan laughed angrily when she heard the words: "It's just him who deserves it, what a toad wants to eat swan meat!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhuang Wan firmly, her eyes glistened with water. After all, this woman helped him again, but when she thought about someone behind her, she was able to kidnap Fang Wenbo for nearly a year , felt more and more that he couldn't see through the woman in front of him, and asked, "Why did you help me?"

"You and your father once saved me unintentionally!" After Zhuang Wan finished speaking, her lips were tightly pursed, and she seemed unwilling to explain this matter in detail.

Xie Yan was not as happy as she imagined when she heard her say this. She hugged her head, trying to pull out the past of saving people from the original body's memory, but found nothing.

Seeing this, Zhuang Wan said: "At that time, you were still young, and it was a mistake that made it happen. It's reasonable not to remember, but you don't have to remember that, just remember that you were kind to me."

However, Xie Yan opened his mouth with difficulty and asked: "So all this time, your closeness, and all the kindness you have done to my mother and my brother, are all out of gratitude?"

Zhuang Wan nodded and hummed: "The grace of saving life should be remembered in my heart."

"Isn't there a little bit of something else?"

Zhuang Wan froze in place, her beautiful face was full of doubts: "Any other things? Do you have to divide them into different kinds?"

Xie Yan suddenly seemed like a deflated balloon, and she didn't have the courage to ask any more. She said weakly, "It's nothing."

Zhuang Wan only felt that she had become a little different, and couldn't help but said, "Are you okay, now that Fang Wenbo has come back and hooked up with He Youliang again, there must be nothing good."

Xie Yan looked at her calm face and felt a pain in her heart. The eyes that looked extraordinarily warm in the past, because of the light in the room, couldn't see the emotion in her eyes, only felt the thin lips on the other side. Sipped into a piece, it seemed particularly heartless.

She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and said calmly, "I see."

Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Zhuang Wan thought she was disgusted because she knew Fang Wenbo's plan back then, so she reached out to hold her hand, wanting to comfort her, but Xie Yan dodged it, and her face immediately turned pale. There was a burst of astonishment, and there was also a trace of imperceptible injury.

Rejected when reaching out, Zhuang Wan had no choice but to withdraw her hand and said, "You have a good rest, I will be with you for the near future."

Xie Yan subconsciously said: "No need, you go back, I want to be quiet for a few days."

Zhuang Wan's body that had just turned around slowly stopped when she heard Xie Yan's words, and she turned around after a while, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes, and finally hummed after a long while, turned around and opened the door to go out.

Seeing her turn around and leave like this, Xie Yan felt that for some reason, she felt powerless for the first time after coming to this world.
