Village Flowers and Female Scholars

In the early morning of the next day, Cao E was leading a mule to take the rice milk to the restaurant. When he left the workshop, he was stopped by a group of people. When he took a closer look, it was the Fang family and the Cao family.

During this period of time, Cao E has been busy in the store every day, and she has experienced many big and small things. Under the influence of Gao, she did not panic as before. In a few days, she knew that this matter was not over.

She looked up at the still gloomy sky, with a sneer hidden on her face, these people were desperate to guard the door so early in order to catch people.

Sure enough, when a group of people guarding the door saw Cao E coming out, they rushed forward and surrounded her with a huff.

Cao E led Dahei back a step and said, "Don't come close to me, this donkey has a very violent temper, if he gets kicked and hurts and becomes limped, it's none of my business."

Hearing what she said, those people took another step back cautiously.

"Mother-in-law, it's so early. If you are happy at home today, don't go out to work. Open the door. Our two families will discuss the marriage of the two children. When the time comes, the good thing will come. Several members of our family can help. It's not bad." One day." Xiao Pan said with a grimace.

At this moment, the door opened with a creak, and Xie Yan, who was tightly wrapped, appeared at the door. A pair of black eyes coldly swept across the group of people in front of her. She didn't get up so early in the past, but this Just when I got up to go to the hut, I heard the voices of chatter outside the door. Combined with yesterday's situation, I knew that Fang's family came to block people again. She didn't expect this group of people to come before dawn. My mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she wrapped herself in some clothes and came out.

"I'm afraid this madam has misunderstood someone. Who is your mother-in-law? I, Xie Jinniang, am not yet married in my boudoir, so please don't spoil my reputation."

At this moment, the door of Lizheng's house opened not far away. It was the time for Gao to go out to work in the restaurant. In the past, he almost went there with Cao E. Now when he turned his head, he found Xie's house. There was a group of people around the side door, and Da'ezi yelled out that something was wrong, so she walked straight over here.

When Fang Cao's family saw Mrs. Gao coming, they had different expressions on their faces. After all, the Fang family came to make trouble before, and everyone in Shangyan Village went to watch. Seeing people, let alone being seen by Mrs. Gao, who is the official wife of Shangyan Village.

Mrs. Gao quickly walked to the door of Xie Yan's house, pushed aside the crowd, and saw that Cao E and the big black donkey were blocked and unable to get out, while Xie Yan stood at the door with an unhappy expression on his face.

"What are you guys doing? You still don't let people go to work. You Fang Sanlang, a few days ago, you went to our restaurant every day to occupy your position and not leave to affect our business. Now you are stopping us again. If you don’t get the milk and go to the store, don’t you see that others are good, do you come to accompany the lost money? Do you know that there are more than a dozen people waiting at the door of the restaurant to eat noodles at dawn today. There must be no delay."

A big hat was buttoned off, and Fang Wenbo's face was reddened. He really couldn't say Gao Shi, so he had to turn his head and attack Xie Yan. After all, in his impression, Xie Jinniang was just a little girl with no opinions. Just coax him and nothing will happen.

He hurriedly stepped forward, handed the wooden hairpin in his arms to Xie Yan's eyes and said: "Jin'er, this is the token that you entrusted someone to give back to me when our two families made a marriage, and I keep it all the time! "

"Also, my mother also sent us the Fang family heirloom bracelet at that time, did you keep it with you all the time?"

The engagement of the two families back then was nothing more than a verbal agreement between the Cao family and the Fang family. In the end, Cao E was notified without Xie Jinniang at all, but even if she asked, Xie Jinniang must have no objection at that time. With a body dominated by Yan, she would never admit to it no matter what.

And the other party is such a disgusting person!

But about the hairpin, she had no impression at all, but Cao E who was on the side said: "Fang Sanlang must have made a mistake, this hairpin is engraved with peach blossoms, we Jin'er don't have such hairpins, this hairpin is Xiao Tao's."

As soon as Cao E said this, several people in the crowd became restless.

Xie Yan also found such a memory from the original owner's memory. Because of this wooden hairpin, Cao Xiaotao made things difficult for their mother and son for a long time.

But this time, Fang Cao's family rushed to the door, and Cao Xiaotao was among them. Of course, she hoped that this matter would be as good as possible, so that Fang Wenbo might marry herself in the end.

Now that the matter of the hairpin was exposed by Cao E, she looked terrified on her face, but her heart was extremely happy. Thinking of Fang Wenbo's ability to treasure her hairpin for so many years, her heart was as sweet as honey.

As an insider, Mrs. Cao hurriedly said vaguely: "Back then, the little bitch——Jinniang mother and son were kicked out of Xie's house, and they didn't have anything valuable on them. This hairpin was made by the second child and given to the children. It’s for Jinniang, the peach blossoms are only engraved for the sake of looking good, it’s not Xiaotao’s.”

Xie Yan sneered and said, "Since it's mine, why did Cao Xiaotao fail to find this hairpin back then, and feed my mother's and I's dinner to pigs for five consecutive days? What about this matter?"

When Cao Xiaotao heard this, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously glanced in Fang Wenbo's direction. The man's expression was very bad, and she tried her best to argue, "When did I ever withhold your money?" Shi, you deliberately slandered me with this matter because no one saw it at the time, and now you don’t want to marry Saburo, it’s too vicious.”

Xie Yan looked at the slightly rolled-up sleeves on Cao Xiaotao's arms, and an invisible bracelet was looming under the sleeves, combined with what Fang Wenbo had just said about the Fang family's family heirloom bracelets, his heart suddenly sank Of course.

She said to Cao Xiaotao, "It's not easy to ask anyone, Cao Xiaotao, tell me yourself, is the hairpin in Fang Sanlang's hand yours or mine?"

Cao Xiaotao didn't expect Xie Yan to ask this question, she was stunned, her eyes flickered for a few moments and she was speechless for a while, because she knew that once she confessed, she would be scolded by Mrs Cao when she went back. If it gets wet, the marriage between Fang Wenbo and Xie Jinniang will be affected to some extent.

Seeing her hesitation, the Fang family also saw the clues, but even if the hairpin belonged to Cao Xiaotao, how could they admit it?

The Gao family on the side laughed: "It turned out to be Xiaotao's hairpin. Anyway, the man is unmarried and the woman is not married, so it is fine to marry Xiaotao. If Fang Sanlang becomes a master of talent in the future, for your old Cao family, his granddaughter But she's much closer than her granddaughter, wouldn't Mrs. Cao have a brighter face."

"That can't—"

Not only the Fang family, but even the Cao family were unwilling. As far as the Fang family was concerned, they were rushing to the Xie family's house and restaurant, so what's the use of marrying a useless Cao Xiaotao.

As for the Cao family, although they are also uncles who are talented, they are even closer as the Gao family said, but they actually want to repair their relationship with the Cao E family by making such a fuss with the Fang family, and then take the opportunity Take control of the wealth they created.

Except for Cao Xiaotao, the two families have the same purpose, so they naturally disagree with Gao's statement.

Xie Yan smiled and said: "Fang Wenbo, I have never touched the bracelet you mentioned just now, but I know where it is."

After speaking, he pulled Cao Xiaotao's wrist and rolled up her sleeves, and a shining bracelet appeared in front of everyone.

"This should be what you said as a token of love. Since you two girls are interested, one will give you a wooden hairpin and the other a bracelet. If you like it, go back and get married. Don't bother us to go to work again. Yes, a few months ago, your Fang family spread rumors that I, Kefu, came to your door and wanted to tie me up as a sacrifice and burn it.

Such a large group of people gathered around the door of Xie's house, which also attracted a group of people who got up early to watch, and they were all chattering when they heard this place.

"Jin'er, it's not what you think, I never gave Cao Xiaotao a token of love—"

"Shut up, who allowed you to call her that." At this moment, a blunt voice came in, with a very bad tone.

Xie Yan looked up at the female scholar who did not know when she appeared in front of her, and her face froze. What happened in the past two days made her very resistant to seeing her at this time, but even so, at the time when the tall figure appeared For a moment, the eyes still couldn't help chasing secretly.

Fang Wenbo didn't expect that Zhuang Wan, who has always been indifferent, would show up here early in the morning and even speak for Xie Yan. He couldn't believe it, because he had other thoughts about her earlier.

But now Zhuang Wan actually talked to him like this, which made him very embarrassed, so he said a little unhappy: "Zhuang Xiucai, Jin'er and I have been engaged since we were young, and now we have grown up, and we have to fulfill the marriage contract. What's wrong, what I call it is also a matter between me and her, and it has nothing to do with you."

Zhuang Wan saw that he not only refused but also called Xie Yan even more fiercely, her face was faintly angry, and her voice was colder than before: "Fang Wenbo, no one knows what happened during your disappearance, but there are rumors that You were beaten to death by the bandits on Tongshan, but now you come back unscathed. Could it be that the bandits in Tongshan have something to do with you? Otherwise, how could they let you go? Statement, I didn’t see you report to the police.”

When Fang Wenbo heard this, his face turned pale immediately, and he replied, "You are so bloody."

This said, but lack of confidence.

And the people on the side exploded. It is said that the bandits on the mountain came from some unknown rebel army and occupied the mountain for several years. However, Tongshan was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But if ordinary people are related to the bandits on the mountain, it is really a crime of beheading. The court can't do anything to the people on Tongshan, and it can't do anything to you little people.

How dare the Fang family get involved with this matter, they scolded one after another.

Zhuang Wan stood in the crowd, with a cold pretty face, indifferent, and after a while, she squeezed to Xie Yan's side, blocked her behind, and said to Fang Wenbo: "From now on, don't step into this part of Xie's house." Homestead, don’t call her Jin’er again, as long as you commit the crime once, or your family members commit the same crime, I will go directly to the Yamen to report to the official for you, saying that you have contacts with the bandits on Tongshan.”

Fang Wenbo's face turned pale immediately, his eyes widened and he ignored his usual gentle image, and shouted, "How dare you!"

"Believe it or not, just try it and see if I dare."

"you--"

Seeing this, Xie Yan said unceremoniously: "What are you, why don't you hurry up and get out of here, what's the matter in blocking my house, if you don't leave, I'll report to the police!"

When Gao saw Zhuang Wan approaching, and saw her imposing force on both ends, she suddenly felt that there was no need to call her own son over for the current battle, and said to Cao E: "Big E, bring the donkey here, this matter The children can solve it by themselves, let’s go to work in the restaurant, someone should be waiting outside right now, I’m afraid we will be rushed later.”

Cao E knew that she would not be able to help if she stayed, and there was Gao in the front to open the way again, so she told Xie Yan and led the big black donkey away.

Seeing that Cao E had actually left, the remaining Fang and Cao families looked at each other for a while. Although Cao E was always cowardly and Xie Yan was in charge of family affairs, it was strange that the elders were not present when it came to the marriage.

On the other hand, the Fang family's feet softened immediately after being threatened by Zhuang Wan. Fang Wenbo didn't mention anything about his disappearance after returning from the past few months. It has nothing to do with the bandits on Tongshan, but when it comes to tracing, it will be miserable if it is not clear that they are implicated.

The Fang family hesitated to look at each other, and Lao Pan said a little uneasy: "Bo'er, forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with this poor scholar here, let's go back first."

Seeing that they couldn't get anything good, the others walked away in a hurry.

Seeing this, the Cao family hurriedly yelled: "My father-in-law—hey—mother-in-law—"

Several people onlookers saw the two groups of Fang Cao's family whimpering and left. Seeing that there was no show to watch, they also dispersed.

Xie Yan glanced at Zhuang Wan's back, turned around and entered the yard and was about to close the door, Zhuang Wan hurriedly stepped forward and put her arm against the door and said: "You have been very wrong these two days, if you don't make it clear today, I won't Let's go, even if I'm not doing well, you have to point it out and let me know, you can't just push me out without saying a word."

"Don't you want to repay your kindness? Now that the kindness has been repaid, what else is there to come to me again!"

"But - aren't we still friends?"

Xie Yan heard that the scene between her and Zong Jing that she saw outside the courtyard yesterday was replaying in her mind, the hand that was originally on the door paused, her lips lost all color because of the cold or something else, and her voice was slightly Tremblingly said: "I don't need you as a friend, you can find other friends."

After speaking, he closed the door with a bang.

Xie Yuangu, who had just woken up, poked his head out from the door, saw his elder sister squatting by the door covering her face, shrugging her shoulders, and quickly shrank back.

After Xie Yan returned to the room, she sat by the bed for a long time until her body was about to become stiff, listening to a slight sound coming from the door.

"Sister, Sister Xiucai has been standing at the gate of the yard without leaving, can you let her in?"

Xie Yan listened to his younger brother's low pleading, but remained unmoved.

"Sister, it's raining heavily outside. Sister Xiucai's whole body is soaked, and her mouth has turned purple."

Xie Yuangu ran in over and over again. At the beginning, Xie Yan was still full of anger, but every time he came in, Xie Yan could hardly control his emotions. Until the fifth or sixth time, Xie Yan Finally couldn't hold back, stood up abruptly, and walked out angrily.

Opening the door with an umbrella, she saw Zhuang Wan, who was standing upright like a pine, standing motionless at the door, and she slowly opened her eyes when she heard the door opening.

Xie Yan looked at her drenched hair and clothes, her lips were purple, her face was blue, and there was a dense tingling in her heart, followed by a surge of anger from the bottom of her heart.

"What on earth do you want to do? If you don't want to leave if you are told to, who are you pretending to be pitiful here—"

Zhuang Wan stared at her with fixed eyes, her body was stiff and her lips were trembling, she tremblingly said: "I'm not pretending to be pitiful...I just want to know you...why do you hate me..."

"I don't hate you, that's all right, you go back quickly, don't play tricks here."

"I didn't—" Zhuang Wan showed a hurt look.

"You obviously have it!"

Seeing that she was so decisive, Zhuang Wan urgently wanted to explain, but Xie Yan ignored her and closed the door again with a snap.
