Chapter 361 Chapter Three hundred sixty-one : It's Better to Sparse
Chapter 361 Chapter 361: It’s better to block than to open up
Author: The Secret in the Tree Hole
Zhang Xiulan was so angry that her heart ached, and she immediately took the car back home.
When I entered the house, my eyes turned red when I saw my daughter. She is such a good daughter! Why did such gossip spread?
"Mom, why are you back?" Xu Yinyin was eating lunch. When she saw her mother coming home at this hour, she couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Xiulan didn't dare to say what was said outside, fearing that her daughter would be sad after hearing it, so she fanned the air with her hand and said, "It's too hot. I'll come back to take a rest. I won't go out in the afternoon."
Xu Yinyin hurriedly asked Linglong to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and served her a bowl of porridge. It was a hot weather, so it was good to drink porridge and eat steamed buns.
"Is it because of the rumors outside?"
Zhang Xiulan had just taken a sip of porridge, and suddenly paused, "Yinyin, you also know?"
Xu Yinyin nodded. There were so many people in the house and they had to go out to buy things every day. She was not deaf. How could she not know that she was so powerful because of the rumors outside today.
There is no need to think too much about this matter. It must have been spread by the flower picker. One is to make her famous, and the other is to ruin her reputation. By the way, remind her that he will definitely come back again to confirm this rumor.
Xu Yinyin now hopes that he will come again quickly. If he dares to come, she will definitely let him come back. For such a lewd thief, if she lets him go outside, she will harm many girls.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, but don't get angry over this matter. It's already quite hot, so we have to calm down!"
Zhang Xiulan couldn't calm down, "It's been said like that outside. People's words are terrible, rumors are like tigers, they all have noses and eyes, and all the lies have become true. We have to find a way to stop them from spreading it."
.”
At this time, Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu also hurried back in a hurry. The old couple had just had a fight with someone outside the shop. They were worried about their granddaughter and hurried back despite the heat wave.
Xu Yinyin quickly asked someone to fetch water to wipe their sweat, and poured warm water for them to drink so that they could have a good rest.
After calming down, Old Man Xu hurriedly said: "Yinyin, the rumors are spreading so fiercely outside, we have to find a way to stop them! Otherwise, your reputation will be lost."
Mrs. Xu also looked worried, "I don't know if the Fang family has heard this rumor."
Xu Yinyin responded to Zhang Xiulan's words just now, "Everyone in Yiyang Mansion is spreading the word now, how many people can we silence? If we ask Magistrate Ye to help, send troops to catch these gossips and stop them from talking.
No wonder they thought we were guilty and thought this rumor was true!
Old man Xu felt that what she said was reasonable and couldn't help but ask: "What should we do? We can't just let it spread like this, right?"
Don't let this rumor spread unless a bigger rumor breaks out to attract fire and make everyone pay attention to that rumor.
However, if Xu Yinyin had to say it herself, it was not self-confidence. She was now considered a celebrity in Yiyang Mansion, and there were rumors about the flower-picking thief. What could be more powerful than the gossip about her?
I guess there are really not many of them, unless there are rumors about the magistrate Ye raising a wife, the magistrate's wife stealing people, and other sexy things.
Cough, but isn’t that just spreading rumors? That’s not possible.
Xu Yinyin thought about it carefully, and finally came up with a good idea. It's better to block it than to open it up. If you can't beat it, join in. Since you can't stop it, just follow it. The hotter the spread, the better.
She went out for a walk again and let everyone take a good look.
Do you continue to pass on when you are tired?
Gradually, this rumor was naturally disproven!
…
I know, I know, the chirping of cicadas disturbs people's peace of mind and is annoying.
The heat wave in the afternoon roared like a sea wave, beating fiercely on people's bodies. The trees at the entrance of the alley could provide shade, but they could not block the heat wave. The old woman was fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan. Even though it was hot, it could not stop her from staying there.
Here is the heart that listens to the lively gossip.
"I have seen Mr. Jiacheng Township. He is fair and pure, with a look of blessing on his face. If you say this is true, it would be such a pity! I heard that the daughter of Mr. Hu's wife failed to hang herself and is now a monk.
She’s gone to be a sister-in-law!”
"Well, if the innocence of the girl's family is ruined, what's the point? If there's such a big fuss, who is talking about her and bringing shame to the family?"
"What's going on in the Xu family? I don't seem to have seen Mr. Jiacheng Xiang go out, right?"
"I didn't go out! My nephew sets up a stall across the street from the Xu family. People who can see the Xu family coming in and out don't even see Mr. Jiacheng Xiang go out!"
"Is that true?"
At this moment, a salesman carrying a load passed by here. Seeing the lively chatter here, he couldn't help but stop and take a rest, "Hey, what do you mean, why is it so lively?"
Gossip is meant to be spread, so the man turned around and pulled him away, "You don't know yet? That's it..."
Everyone else joined in and spoke very energetically.
The salesman's boss opened his mouth and looked unbelieving, "This must be a rumor! I just came from Zouma Street, and Mr. Jiacheng Township is taking his family to listen to a play in Lichun Garden! He is smiling like a flower, how can he look like that?
This is what it’s like to encounter something like this! Don’t believe it? Come and see for yourselves!”
…
The market in the early morning is the most lively. Women carrying baskets go out to buy vegetables, and people with leisurely hands on their backs stroll down the street to have breakfast. People come and go, and it is noisy.
The business of Li Ji Wonton stall is always booming, and there are only a few tables, but they are always full and no one is available.
The chicken soup wontons are very fresh. A bowl of them is full of flavor. The man in fine cotton sips the soup, wipes his mouth, turns to talk to the table next to him, "Hey, have you heard about the lively rumors circulating in the city recently?
Yet?"
"I've heard about it! How could I not have heard about it! My second aunt's sister-in-law's cousin's daughter was working as a maid in the Tong Mansion. That night, I got up and went to the hut. Following the wind, I could vaguely hear the voice next door.
They are shouting to catch the thief! Do you know the Tong Mansion? It is also in Xin'anfang, and is the next door neighbor to the Xu family! This cannot be false!"
"Seriously? Are you trying to catch a flower-picking thief? Oops! So is this true?"
"No!"
"Oh, this flower-picking thief is also abominable! The good Lord Jiacheng Township, now let him be destroyed? The government has not done anything, and they don't care. Are they going to arrest this flower-picking thief?"
The two of them were talking enthusiastically, and everyone else was listening with interest. The man at the other table who had just sat down and ordered wontons couldn't help but said, "Are you talking about Mr. Jiacheng Township? What's wrong with Mr. Jiacheng Township?"
"Yes!" the man said, "haven't you heard?"
The man said: "I haven't heard of it. I just returned to the city last evening."
The man said excitedly, "Hey! Then I'll tell you about it carefully..."
After hearing this, the man wondered: "Is it true? I just came from home, and Lord Jiacheng Township brought someone into our Dongxiang Village!"
"It's early in the morning. What are you doing in Dongxiang, Lord Jiacheng?"
This person said: "Our neighbor next door, their daughter-in-law works in the Xujia Workshop. I heard that the weather has been too hot recently, and the Xujia Workshop provides welfare and sends a basket of iced peaches to the homes of the workshop workers! Cheng Cheng
Those in the outer city sent people to send them off, and the people in this city, Lord Jiacheng Township, took his people to send them off in person."
Some people don’t believe it, “He’s the country king, how can he personally deliver peaches to people?”
The man said: "How do I know? Anyway, I saw it! If you don't believe me, go over there and have a look. It's okay if you don't go there. There are also workers from Xu's workshop in Gejia Lane across the street, and the one next door to our house is
Relatives, I heard what they said, if you just stay here and watch, you will definitely see Lord Jiacheng Township!"
He said it with certainty, and others didn't think he was lying. Anyway, it was fine, so he just stayed here and waited.
It's not far from Dongxiangli.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw a large white horse-drawn carriage approaching slowly.
"Look! That's Lord Jiacheng's white carriage!"
This is a sign. Nowadays in Yiyang Fucheng, there are few people who don’t know that the horse pulling the carriage of Lord Jiacheng Township is a beautiful white horse.
The carriage slowly drove into the alley opposite. Those who were curious jumped in and followed. Then they saw the carriage stopping at the door of a house. Mr. Jiacheng Xiang, dressed in green clothes, got off the carriage, carrying a basket of peaches.
The maid knocked on the door.
Is this Lord Jiachengxiang? You can’t tell even if you wear a curtain!
Then, the carriage left the alley, returned to the street outside, and stopped at a jewelry shop.
Mr. Jiacheng Xiang entered the shop, lifted the curtain, and leisurely selected jewelry.
That’s really Jiachengxiangjun!
Jiacheng Xiangjun is still in the mood to go shopping?
That girl from the Hu family has become a sister-in-law!
Mr. Jiacheng Township not only came out, but also wandered around the streets! He visited the Silver Building, the Cloth Shop, went to Fuman Building for dinner, went to the Tea Garden to meet the little sisters, went to Manjianghong to eat hot pot, went to inspect his own shop, and went to the Zhang Mansion for a banquet.
Go to Li Mansion to have full-moon wine, and go to the pork shop to buy meat for your beloved wolf...
The figure of Jiacheng Xiangjun and a big gray majestic wolf are everywhere in Yiyang Mansion.
People discussing rumors with great interest: "..."
Does this look like a person whose innocence has been ruined? What a fuss!
Then, at this moment, a rumor came out that the Lord of Jiacheng Township was picked by a flower picker. It was all a rumor! It was not true at all. It was just that the flower picker heard about the name of Lord Jiacheng Township.
I deliberately spread this rumor, just to tarnish the reputation of Lord Jiacheng Township and build a reputation for myself!
Mr. Jiacheng Township is following the wolf! That's a wolf! How can the flower picker get close? Let alone do anything to Mr. Jiacheng Township!
Everyone waved their hands and said, "Hey! It's been a lie for a long time! Thanks to them for talking so vigorously! Yes! If it is true, then the Lord of Jiacheng Township will not become angry and arrest them for telling rumors."
It's over, it's over, what's the point of talking about it? They can't give the flower-picking thief a reputation!
In an inn in the east of the city, Yu Quanshou was drinking wine and eating peanuts, while laughing. He had found someone to spread the rumor at first, but he didn't expect it to become so popular.
Now that the rumor was self-explanatory and everyone stopped spreading it, that wouldn't work. He had to make the rumor stop being a rumor and become a fact.
For the past few days, every time he thought about Lord Jiacheng's appearance, he couldn't help but get hot all over. Hey, if he couldn't win this beauty, how could he be called a flower-picking thief in Quanshou?
He drank a bottle of wine in one go and put the bottle down heavily.
