Chapter 150: People's Words Are Frightening
Wang Xiaoda thought that since his elder brother had gone out, he might not come back when, so he had better go at night.
Wang Dahu is doing better today than yesterday. He is not so shy, and he does not have random thoughts like yesterday. He is quite serious about listening and speaking. Otherwise, if Yan Yan discusses this story with him later, if he can't tell it right, Yan Yan will
Yan might be angry.
After coming out of the teahouse, Wang Dahu still asked Zhou Yan for her opinion and sent her home.
In fact, Zhou Yan originally thought that after coming out of the teahouse today, he could go shopping with Wang Dahu. However, the unexpected pink donkey cart really attracted other people's attention, so he decided not to go there next time.
Take a look around!
Wang Dahu sent Zhou Yan to her doorstep, but he was still a little reluctant to leave. He couldn't think of any good reasons at once. When can he ask her out again?
"Then I'll go in. Brother Dahu, come back!"
"Yan Yan, then, will we have a chance to go out together next time?" Wang Dahu still asked.
"Why not? Brother Dahu can come to me when he has time, but you have to finish other things well before talking, and don't do it too often. I'm afraid the neighbors will gossip."
It's not that Zhou Yan doesn't want to acknowledge Wang Dahu, it's just that her father is not at home and Taotao is mostly in school. As a girl, she always goes out alone with a man, which will always have a bad influence.
"Okay, I understand. Then, I'll come back to you in a few days. I'll take you to the countryside. You can go fishing or something. If Taotao is on vacation, we can go together."
Wang Dahu knew that if he kept coming to see Yan Yan, it would have a bad impact. He would wait until he went back to think of a way to avoid this impact.
"Okay, then Brother Dahu, let's go back! Be careful on the road." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Wang Dahu also smiled and nodded, but waited until Zhou Yan entered the gate before he drove the donkey cart back.
When Zhou Yan returned home, she heard the servant report that Mrs. Zhou had just come to see her and had only left not long ago.
Zhou Yan nodded. Her aunt's house was not far from her house. Her aunt must have seen it and came over to ask her. She forgot about it for a moment and didn't tell her aunt.
It was not even time for dinner, so Zhou Yan didn't go into the house and went directly to Zhou Sheng's house. He also brought a lot of nuts that Wang Dahu brought with him yesterday. This explanation was more or less hopeful.
Auntie must have a good impression of Wang Dahu!
Mrs. Lin was not angry at all, but just a little worried. Yesterday Yanyan went out with a man, and she didn't care. After all, it might be a servant who came to pick her up, but today it was still the same man who came to pick her up.
Yan Yan, the two of them were still talking and laughing, and stood at the door for a long time.
She didn't know it at home, but a servant told her that a pink donkey cart was parked in front of Yanyan's house.
She was a little worried about whether Yanyan's child had an affair with that man, so she went to her house to find out. Her father was not here, so as her aunt, she had to take care of her.
As a result, when she passed by, the boy actually said that Yan Yan hadn't come back yet. It had been a long time since she left, so why hadn't she come back yet?
Mrs. Lin didn't sit down until she got home, still worried! Then Zhou Yan came over.
"Aunt, did you just go to my house to look for me?" Zhou Yan said with a smile, and sat down by herself without asking Lin.
"No, I just came back and you came over."
"What does aunt want from me?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid! You know what I want to ask, you can tell it yourself." Lin said angrily.
"Hehehe, I know, I was just joking! Why don't I explain it to you?"
Zhou Yan was smiling, and he still had time to open the nuts, and asked Lin to eat them together.
"You kid, you're not in a hurry at all, you've even eaten it." Mrs. Lin said helplessly, she was the only one who had to worry about feelings!
"Auntie, how does it taste?" Zhou Yan asked.
"It tastes good. Where did it come from? Maybe you got it from your sister Yang. You can't buy it in town."
"Auntie, please don't accuse me wrongly. Sister Yang is pregnant and I won't be greedy for her food! This is a gift from Wang Dahu, the eldest young master of Changlefang. Does Auntie know this person?"
"I know this. Everyone in the town knows about Changlefang. That Wang Dahu is the head of Changlefang, I still know it."
Changlefang has been open for decades. Although she doesn't like to go out, the head of her family is the mayor, and she also deals with the people of Changlefang.
"Then why would he give you something? Yes, I remembered it. You said that Wang Dahu and Wang Dayi have a good relationship. You had dinner together at Yang Yatou's house, right?"
Zhou Yan likes to go to Yang Xu's place. Sometimes he comes to chat with her and will talk about this. It seems that Wang Dahu and Wang Dayi have a good relationship. Wang Dahu also likes to go to Yang Yatou's house to eat, so the two of them met.
It's also normal.
"Well, we met at Sister Yang's house, but the man that my aunt wanted to ask about was the man who came to pick me up at my house."
"What's going on? He came to take you to Yang Yatou's house?" Apart from this, Mrs. Lin couldn't think of anything else.
"No, I came to take me to the teahouse to listen to the book. Yesterday I listened to half of it, and today I listened to the remaining half." Zhou Yan said slowly.
"I don't have any objections to listening to a book together, but you two are alone and it's not good to go together. If there are other people around, it makes sense. Even though you don't talk much to the people around you, people are
It's the most gossipy thing. You guys were chatting and laughing at the door, and this will reach my ears today."
Mrs. Lin spoke sincerely, she knew that Yan Yan did not like those worldly things, but people were intimidating, especially since their family was a somewhat powerful family, and the neighbors loved to pay attention to them, and they knew everything very quickly.
"Aunt, I know this. I came here today to tell you that Wang Dahu told me his feelings and said he liked me. I also liked him, so I promised to give him a chance."
"What? When did you start? You girl, you even hid this from me..." Lin was shocked, but also a little sad. Yan Yan didn't have a mother. She and her uncle really treated her as their own daughter.
of.
As a result, this girl didn't tell me about such an important matter. Does that mean she is treated as an outsider?
"Auntie, don't be angry. I have nothing to hide from you. This is what happened yesterday afternoon. I didn't have time to tell you. Besides, if I had come here last night, my uncle would have been at home. If he knew about it, it would be a big deal..."
Zhou Yan pursed her lips, she didn't want to make this matter a big deal, and she hadn't officially decided whether she wanted to marry Wang Dahu yet! If everyone knew about it, she wouldn't even have a choice.
"Why isn't that a big deal? We can make friends, but this matter between men and women must be more formal and must not be given or received in private."
Mrs. Lin was extremely anxious. This girl always liked freedom and didn't care about these etiquette and customs, but nothing in this town could be hidden from others. This...
"I don't. In fact, I'm just not sure whether I will marry him. He and I don't know each other very well yet, so I just want to get along first and see. If it's suitable, we can talk about anything else. And our behavior and speech are all in compliance with the rules.
Yes, I just went to a teahouse, and there was no skin-to-skin contact..."
Not to mention intimacy, not even holding hands or touching, only a few private words at most.
"I know Yanyan won't do this, but we don't know what others think. If word gets out, your words will no longer be what they were originally said, and it will be harmful to your reputation."
Why is it said that people's words are fearful? This is what it means. It obviously means nothing, but one person puts it more seriously, and then spreads it to another person's ears, and then changes it to another person's ears. After several back and forth, what was originally a good thing ended up being
It will not be broadcast properly.
"I know, I really didn't think that much originally. I just thought it was okay to have a clear conscience, but I forgot that this person talks right and wrong..."
Zhou Yan is not a person who has no brains and refuses to listen to advice. She just didn't think of this at first. She knew that someone would see it, but they had nothing to do and had a clear conscience.
But when her aunt said this, she also understood the stakes. Many people were paying attention to her family's affairs. In this town, her uncle was the most powerful official. How many people were watching! So if the news got out, it wouldn't matter.
I know what will happen...
"As long as Yanyan wants to understand, you have reached the age where you should talk about marriage. You have someone you like. Auntie is also very happy. Auntie believes in your vision, so she will definitely not interfere. I am just waiting for your father to come back this year.
Let’s talk about this marriage issue in detail."
Mrs. Lin patted Zhou Yan's hand. She liked Zhou Yan not only because she was his niece, but also because Yan Yan was a very transparent child. She understood the stakes as soon as she heard them.
, are all sensible children.
Moreover, she was not worried that the man Yan Yan was attracted to was not good. Yan Yan had always had a very high standard, and she would not like ordinary people. And based on her understanding, there was nothing to say about Wang Dahu's family background. His father and her family
The head of the family has also dealt with him, and he has said that he is a benevolent and righteous person, so there is no problem with the family tradition.
Yan Yan likes people with good looks, so she has never seen Wang Dahu look like him, but he is definitely not ugly, so there is no problem with his appearance. He has a good relationship with Yang Yatou's family, and she knows that Yang Yatou has bad conduct.
She would not get along with that person at all, so Wang Dahu must not be a treacherous person, and there would be no problem with his character.
In this way, there are no problems with family background, family tradition, appearance and conduct. Yan Yan also said that Wang Dahu was very good to her. Taking everything together, Wang Dahu is also a good candidate for marriage.
