Chapter 56 56 The illusion of dignity

In an elegant and beautiful mansion in Songjiang Prefecture, Sima Gong was sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and was slowly sipping it.

There is a purple bookcase in the northeast corner of the wall. In front of the vermilion carved wooden window, a man in a long black robe sits next to the guqin, playing the guqin clankingly without any beautiful melody.

It can be said.

Even in the midst of such noise, Sima Daru, who was extremely well-educated, could continue to cultivate his feelings without changing his expression.

Whoever sees him can't help but say that he is truly a god.

Faced with such a lethal sound, even the two secret guards who were originally hiding in the trees chose to find another place farther away to hide.

Sima Gong looked at his grandson, who was obviously twenty-five years old. He had a tall and straight figure, but he had a childish face that deceived the world.

Lan Xuanjiu vented his unhappiness and stopped torturing the flowers and plants in the courtyard and the servants who accidentally passed by.

"Damn woman, how dare you sneak away after buying me." Lan Xuanjiu pursed his lips and thought to himself, grinding his teeth.

Sima Gong secretly took an important pill that can calm people's hearts. If it weren't for this, he would have been unable to survive.

Seeing that Lan Xuanjiu's face was not as gloomy as when he first came back, Sima Gong coughed and asked cautiously: "Xiao Jiu'er, are you encountering something troublesome? You might as well tell grandpa, maybe it can help you solve your worries."

Lan Xuanjiu looked at his gray-haired grandfather and his expression finally softened, but he had no intention of saying anything.

He just walked over and gently helped the old man up, saying in a caring tone: "It's already very late at night. I'll help grandpa go to rest."

Who is Sima Gong? How could he not understand that his grandson was unwilling to talk, so he stood up with his help.

He went back to rest as he pleased.

…

Qingshi Town.

After An Chuxia came back, the next day she sent Gu Fangmiao back, who had been homesick for a long time. At the same time, she also bought gifts to visit her teacher Gu Tongsheng and his wife Gu Shi.

I was warmly persuaded by my wife to stay and left after dinner.

Now the teacher's wife no longer has to go to the streets to encourage students because her private school cannot recruit students.

With her and Miaomiao as two living signs, not to mention the teacher Gu Tongsheng became famous in their town.

Even in Lin County, some people sent school-age children to relatives' homes in Qingshi Town so that they could be sent to the Gu family private school for enlightenment.

Let’s see if when we grow up, we can be like An Chuxia and pass the imperial examination with a rank of Xiao Sanyuan.

During the following days at home, An Chuxia took advantage of An Jinchen to go out to sell braised pork, and she kept everything clean outside the house.

He also took off the bedding and bedding of the brother and sister and some dirty clothes, put them into basins respectively, took them to the well, and washed them with water from a wooden bucket.

When Mu Tan walked in that day, he saw clothes and sheets hanging on the clothes-drying pole at An Chuxia's house, swaying in the wind.

An Chuxia was carrying a piece of wood from the backyard to cushion the corn and cotton she brought back to prevent it from becoming damp and moldy on the ground.

She saw Mu Tan standing in the yard looking at her blankly. An Chuxia didn't feel embarrassed at all for a girl like her, carrying a piece of wood that was about as thick as her waist.

He even greeted Mu Tan with a smile.

Mu Tan thought of hunting wild boars in the mountains that day, smiled and shook his head, feeling that he was making a fuss again.

This girl can't look at her in a normal way.

Just when everyone thought she was stupid, she was able to come back with a low-key test of three yuan.

Mutan calmed down her emotions and walked to the door of the warehouse where the grain was stored, and said with a gentle face: "Xiaoxia, didn't you say last time that you wanted to buy a carriage?"

After An Chuxia easily moved the corn and cotton and put them away, she turned around and asked, "Didn't you say that horses are often sold in the town?"

Mu Tan showed a helpless smile, "It's just that there are not often, and it's not that there are no traders who come to sell horses.

During this time, I often go to the cattle and horse market to inquire, and yesterday I heard from the manager.

Today there will be several horse dealers from the north who will pass by here to sell for two days before going to other markets."

An Chuxia has long wanted to buy a carriage.

The carriage can run very fast, so brothers An Jinchen and Brother Runsheng can save a lot of time on the way back and forth when they go to sell braised pork, and they no longer have to worry about getting their clothes wet when it's cloudy or rainy.

Hearing that there were horses for sale, An Chuxia immediately went into the house to change into the clothes she would wear when going out, and took the money with her.

She walked out and said to Mu Tan, who was waiting for her at the door of the courtyard: "...let's go!"

Then they locked the courtyard door with a copper lock, and then the two of them walked towards Qingshi Town.

The villagers I met on the road were no longer as indifferent as before when they saw An Chuxia, and they all took the initiative to say hello to her.

Even if she, a girl who has not said they are acquainted, walks with Doctor Mu, no one will gossip about her.

Neither An Chuxia nor Mu Tan were talkative people. They only chatted a few words occasionally along the way, but even if they didn't talk, they seemed particularly harmonious.

However, this scene stung Dong Linlin and Xu Xuezhen, who had just come out of the largest embroidery shop in Qingshi Town.

Xu Xuezhen had also studied in the Dong family school before An Chuxia, and she had known Dong Linlin since childhood.

During this time, she often heard Dong Linlin talking in her ears about how ungrateful Junior Sister An, who went to Evergreen Academy, was.

Following his former teacher Dong Xiucai, he left ruthlessly after acquiring knowledge and went to study in the Gu family's private school which was only for children's enlightenment.

I don’t know why, but Dong Linlin is so full of loopholes.

Xu Xuezhen didn't. Thinking about it with her dignified head, she completely believed what Dong Linlin, her former junior sister, said.

Xu Xuezhen looked at the tall and straight man, with his handsome and handsome face showing a faint smile to the woman beside him, feeling sour in his heart.

Dong Linlin saw the senior sister next to her who was pretending to be noble and dignified at this moment. She looked at the tall man's back with uncontrollable admiration on her face.

And when she looked at the bitch An Chuxia next to the man, she could not hide the gloomy look in her eyes. Dong Linlin curled her lips, saying that she was dignified and dignified, but it was just an illusion for others to see.

When she first met senior sister Xu Xuezhen, she accidentally soiled her new skirt.

Shortly after Xu Xuezhen came to study at her private school, she was pushed from behind while playing and was almost disfigured.

The people who were playing with her at that time were all male schoolchildren, but when she fell, she saw a floral skirt floating by.

Since then, she has known that the senior sister of the mayor's family is not as generous and generous as she showed.

Thinking of this, Dong Linlin raised one corner of her mouth, and a vicious light flashed in her eyes.

Take the initiative to lean into Xu Xuezhen’s ear~

After hearing what Dong Linlin said, Xu Xuezhen took two steps back with a look of astonishment on her dignified and beautiful face, as if she couldn't believe that these words came from Dong Linlin's mouth.

Then he said: "She just pretended not to hear these words."

Then he left in a hurry.

Dong Linlin looked at Xu Xuezhen, who was walking in confusion, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up. I'm afraid no one knew this senior sister better than her.
