Two hundred and fortieth chapters curse the mountain
The road under Peach Blossom Mountain was almost blocked again.
Passers-by heard the guests at the teahouse say that Pan Rong, a famous scholar who had just been appointed by the emperor, went to see Chen Danzhu. It was a meeting, not an arrest. Seventeen or eight guests in the teahouse testified that it was with their own eyes.
It seemed that Pan Rong took the car and walked up the mountain by himself.
Why did Pan Rong see Chen Danzhu? Especially since there were many scholars among the passers-by, he stopped rushing back to his hometown to take exams and waited.
Since we are waiting here, we have to drink something and eat something. It doesn’t matter if there is no place to sit in the tea shed. You can eat and drink standing up. The tea seller and Ah Hua are so busy that their feet don’t touch the ground. The tea seller starts to think about this.
You have to hire another person.
Everyone did not wait too long, and soon saw a scholar running down the mountain angrily. His half-worn clothes were stained with mud, as if he had fallen.
"That's unreasonable!" He turned around angrily and scolded, "Chen Danzhu, why don't you understand the truth?"
Is there a quarrel? A fight? Are you here to scold Chen Danzhu? The crowd of onlookers suddenly surged, and then they saw a maid chasing him down, holding a scroll in her hand.
"Pan Rong! You don't know what's good or bad, how dare you come to visit my lady!" Ah Tian scolded sharply, "You just come here with a broken painting and sell it, and you don't bother to ask about it, but you want to come to my lady."
In front of you, either gold and silver treasures are presented to you, or you are as beautiful as a flower. What do you have? Even if you have been appointed by the emperor, you don’t even think about it. If it weren’t for my lady, you would have gotten this? You are still in a broken house outside the city.
The cold wind is blowing! Now you are so proud and arrogant that you come here to show off——"
It was not the first time that Pan Rong was scolded by a woman, but he didn't expect to be scolded again now, especially when the scolding was so unpleasant. His face became even longer with anger. As a scholar, he couldn't scold anything, he could only shout angrily: "
That’s unreasonable!”
"What nonsense!" Ah Tian shouted, and then shouted, "Zhu Lin, beat him!"
The onlookers quickly looked back and saw that behind the little maid, there seemed to be a green-clothed guard looming among the trees in the mountains -
Zhu Lin walked slowly and calmly, one step at a time, two steps at a time. When he came over, Pan Rong had already reached the foot of the mountain.
"Let's go!" he shouted angrily to the coachman.
The coachman couldn't wait for a long time. If Pan Rong hadn't been supported by the emperor's reputation, he would have abandoned the scholar and driven away when the little maid scolded her for the first time.
The carriage stumbled away, and Ah Tian chased after it, raising the scroll in his hand: "Take your painting!"
The painting fell on the ground and unfolded. The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but rush forward and saw that it was a picture of a beauty. They could feel the brightness and charm at just one glance. Many people also recognized the beauty in the painting at just one glance.
It's Chen Danzhu.
Pan Rong, painted a portrait of Chen Danzhu?
Listen to what the maid said again, Pan Rong, are you here to show Xiao Xiang Chen Danzhu?
There was silence all around, as if no one dared to speak.
Still the tea seller asked loudly: "Ah Tian, what's wrong? Is this scholar here to give a gift?"
A Tian snorted: "Yes, he said that he is what he is today because of the lady, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness, but he is too ungrateful. He only brought a painting, which he painted himself, and came here.
Say some nonsense."
Pan Rong! He actually did such a thing? The surroundings continued to be silent.
The old lady selling tea shook her head: "These scholars are like this. They are arrogant, have no sense of propriety, and have no eyes. They think that because they are showing kindness, women should like them."
The scholars around him glared angrily at the tea seller.
A Tian clapped her hands, identified the scholars, and sighed: "You all know, you are what you are today because of our miss. You have to thank our miss. If you don't have money, that's it. Just talk about our miss outside."
Please use your kind words and publicize the great achievements of our lady. When you become officials and gain power in the future, remember that our lady is your benefactor."
There was silence all around.
The tea seller coughed lightly: "Miss A Tian, please go back quickly."
Ah Tian had been able to hold on until now, and the hands hidden in her sleeves were almost bleeding. She snorted and turned around to head up the mountain.
As soon as she was out of sight, the mountain was steaming like water in a pot with the lid off.
"Pan Rong is actually here to woo her?"
"Clinging is too ugly. Mr. Pan should be here to thank her. After all, this matter really started because of Chen Danzhu. Mr. Pan will never forget his kindness-"
"It sounds like Pan Rong has never forgotten his kindness and wants to repay him with his own life. Hahaha, he doesn't even look at himself. No wonder he was kicked out."
"This Chen Danzhu, Pan Rong has good intentions even if he wants to repay him with his own body. Why should she be so humiliated?"
"You still want me to be grateful. For this matter, I am grateful to Your Majesty, to the Third Prince, to the Third Prince, to Lord Zhou, to General Iron Mask, and there is no need to thank her!"
There was a lot of noise and discussion, but it was soon dispersed by the arrival of a group of official officers. It turned out that County Sheriff Li had specially arranged for people to keep an eye on this area to avoid the incident with Mr. Niu happening again. The official officers heard the news that the road here was blocked again and hurriedly came to arrest him.
——
But there were no troublemakers, and Ms. Chen Danzhu didn't give any orders to arrest anyone. After hearing the confused noise, the official dispersed them all in angrily.
Pan Rong's car has already entered the city gate. After entering the city gate, the driver felt a little calmer, the car became more stable, and Pan Rong's mind in the car also calmed down from the excitement.
Although there was still a bit of embarrassment on his face, there was also a bit of confusion. Thinking about the previous scene, he saw it right. When Miss Danzhu unfolded the painting, her eyes were full of sparkling light.
The corners of her mouth were filled with happiness. She was looking so seriously. She was obviously very happy. Why did her expression change when she raised her head again?
"You have been studying for so long, but if you use it to do things for me, isn't it overkill?"
The girl's words echoed in his ears.
At the time I thought it was a question and a question, but now I think it was perhaps an exclamation.
Pan Rong's hand on his knee couldn't help but clench. So, Miss Danzhu would not let him overdo his talents or have anything to do with her? She would not hesitate to drive him away viciously and stigmatize herself——
"Ah San!" He suddenly raised the car curtain and shouted, "Turn around -"
The coachman, Ah San, was still a little shaken, and was stunned when he was shouted: "Ah, sir, turn around? Where are you going?"
Go find Miss Danzhu - Pan Rong said in his heart, the words stopped at the tip of his mouth, and now it is useless to go and find anything to say. There has been a scene, and he will defend Miss Danzhu and say good things.
No one believes it anymore.
Pan Rong sighed softly and looked towards the outside of the city. He was now in a humble position, so he used his strength to stand on the top of the waves. It looked beautiful, but in fact it was vain. What could he do for her? On the contrary, he would drag her even more.
It's just adding to the stigma.
He has just entered Vanity Fair a few days ago and has become arrogant. It is indeed a pity that he has read books for so many years.
"Let's go to my old residence outside the city." Pan Rong said to the coachman, "There are too many people in the Imperial College, and some of them can't concentrate on their studies."
The coachman thought to himself that there was no need to study any more, as he would be an official soon. But the young master was about to become an official, so he had to listen to him, so he turned the horse's head and headed out of the city again.
A Tian ran back to the Taoist temple in one breath, closed the door and gasped for breath. Cui'er looked at her sympathetically: "This is the first time Sister A Tian has cursed someone like this, are you scared?"
A Tian murmured: "I must have memorized it correctly, right? I have said all the words the lady taught me, right?"
Yan'er nodded aside: "Sister A Tian, what you said is better than what I taught you."
Alas, this compliment didn't sound very happy. Ah Tian sighed, took a few deep breaths and walked back to the backyard. Chen Danzhu rolled up his sleeves and continued to cut the medicine.
At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the world is gloomy. The girl's face is quiet and soft, and the innocence of her youth makes everything around her bright.
The lady is so beautiful and good, someone finally saw it——
"Miss." Ah Tian felt aggrieved, "Why did you scold Pan Rong away? He saw how good you are, Miss, and is willing to clear Miss's name."
Chen Danzhu raised his head: "Ah Tian, I know his kindness, but I can't accept it. To me, this kindness is like a beheading knife. If I have a good reputation, my death will come."
Is it so serious? The young lady always said that she wanted to be a bad person. A Tian wiped her nose and said, "Then the young lady can't have a good reputation?"
"Yes, but I can only get a good reputation." Chen Danzhu smiled while holding the knife, then shook his head, "No one else can give it to me."
So it was the words that the lady asked her to say in front of people just now that made the scholars grateful to the lady.
A good reputation is not a good reputation at all, so A Tian can only forget about it.
"Miss, let me make medicine for you."
Everyone has left, and everything is quiet up and down the mountain. The tea seller is walking up and down at the foot of the mountain, kicking her feet, and rummaging through the trees and rocks with a stick.
Ah Hua asked in the tea shed: "Grandma, what are you looking for?"
I was too crowded to watch the fun just now, did my wallet get squeezed out?
The tea seller looked around, looking puzzled: "It's strange, that painting was thrown here, why is it missing?"
Miss Danzhu doesn't want it, she wants it. The painting is so good, she should hang it at home.
Unexpectedly, I took a step too late and disappeared.
The tea seller was very angry. What deceived person stole it?
