This is an ancient setting, double male lead novel with a fictional backdrop, 1V1, and both protagonists are pure.
Due to a brawl between two villages, Shen Zhen accidentally met a young scho...
When Chen Zhen heard the man's voice, he turned around and saw his face clearly. Then he remembered who he was, so he said rudely without waiting for He Jinshu to speak: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If you didn't come to the capital at this time to take the exam, what else could you be doing?"
After hearing what Chen Chen said, Liu Yueda was choked for a moment, but then he returned to normal and said with a smile, "This is Mr. He, the man who can make He Jinshu live a gigolo, right? Mr. He must have worked very hard to support the family over the years. He has to provide for He Jinshu's food and clothing, pay for his education, and even buy him a house. Mr. He's virtuousness is really enviable."
They were standing at the door, where people were coming and going. When they heard the conversation between several people, they couldn't help but stop, especially when they heard the name of He Jinshu. Anyone who had seen He Jinshu would stop and take a look. After all, He Jinshu's reputation was too loud in Dongli Country.
At this time, a slightly plump scholar standing next to Liu Yueda asked curiously: "Brother Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Everyone pricked up their ears to hear what Liu Yueda had to say, after all, gossip is human nature.
Liu Yueda glanced at everyone with a smug look on his face, then said with a hint of meaning, "Brother Zhao, maybe you don't know this? He Jieyuan and I are from the same hometown. A few years ago, He Jieyuan was a poor boy who made a living by copying books. But later, I don't know what luck he had, but he married He Fulang, a god of wealth, and then he started to make a fortune with his help.
He Jieyuan's reputation is different now than it was in the past, but I don't know how much of that reputation belongs to me."
In this dynasty where men are superior to each other, if you are labeled as having made your fortune by relying on your wife's family or your husband's family, others will look at you with a bit of contempt. No matter how high your position is in the future, people will always talk about your background and your experience besides gossiping. Those who admire you will admire you, while those who despise you will despise you. This is the common nature of human beings.
Just like now, after listening to Liu Yueda's words, the eyes of the onlookers looking at He Jinshu suddenly changed. There was disbelief, disdain, and inquiry.
When the scholar heard this, he looked enlightened, but actually said with ill intentions, "I didn't expect He Jieyuan to have such a tortuous life. It really opened my eyes. I just wonder if your husband has any unmarried brothers or sisters? Seeing how handsome your husband is, his brothers and sisters must be good too. We are willing to come to him sincerely and ask for them. Maybe we can also get some of your husband's fame."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked far away by Chen Zhen. After that, Chen Zhen kicked Liu Yueda again and kicked him far away as well.
There were only two muffled groans, and the two men fell to the ground one after the other, and the people around them were in an uproar.
After Zhao Kuangpeng was thrown to the ground, he was stunned at first, then he raised his head and said in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?"
"I'm hitting you," Chen Chen said bluntly, "You flirted with the husband of a top scholar in broad daylight. Have you lost your upbringing? You're still a scholar? If you were sent to a labor camp, the prison would have to think twice about accepting you."
Zhao Kuangpeng was so angry that he almost bled. He stood up and pointed at Chen Chen and said angrily, "Do you know who I am? How dare you say that to me?"
Chen Zhen was about to speak when He Jinshu stopped him. He Jinshu looked at Zhao Kuangpeng and said, "I don't care who you are. You don't look like someone who will accomplish anything great. You're just a bully who relies on the power of others. If you have any questions, you can ask your parents to come to me. I want to ask him how he taught you the rules and etiquette. You want to get married but you don't ask a matchmaker to give the betrothal gifts. Instead, you tell my husband in the street that you want to marry his brothers and sisters. Those who know will think you want to get married, while those who don't will think you're begging on the street. With your moral character, who would dare to marry you in the future?"
Zhao Kuangpeng was so angry at He Jinshu's words that he was speechless. He looked at the looks people were giving him, and then he pointed at He Jinshu angrily and said, "Just wait for me."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
When Liu Yueda saw this situation, he also wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by He Jinshu.
Seeing him turn around, He Jinshu said to him, "I remember that Brother Liu was even poorer than me back then, right? You can't afford to wear the clothes you wear now. What high-class family did you climb up to?"
When Liu Yueda heard what He Jinshu said, he smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. He didn't expect Chen Zhen to be so bold that he even dared to beat up the second son of the Minister of Personnel. Aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?
He Jinshu didn't care whether he answered or not, and just said coldly: "My husband and I are in love with each other, I am willing to be supported by him, I like to eat his soft rice, but these are all matters between us, it is not for others to interfere. If I hear unpleasant words from you again in the future, don't blame me for being rude to Brother Liu."
After hearing what He Jinshu said, Liu Yueda looked at the cold eyes he gave him and his body shuddered instantly. He Jinshu's aura was stronger than a few years ago. After the youthfulness on his face faded, he had become more mature and cold. When he spoke to people without a trace of warmth, it was really hard for people to ignore his aura.
So Liu Yueda quickly fled from this suffocating place without saying a word.
After the protagonists of the incident left, the crowd naturally dispersed slowly. The figure who had been standing on the window on the second floor of the restaurant for a long time also retreated back to the room.
Afterwards, He Jinshu and Shen Chen took the two children to the private room upstairs. After ordering the dishes, He Sixuan said to Shen Chen, "Dad, next time you fight, will you ask me to join you?"
"With your tiny body, you can only beat a chicken. What are you supposed to do? Get beaten?" Shen Zhen glanced at him and said.
"No," He Sixuan said unconvincedly, "I can still beat a pig."
"Can you beat those two people just now?" Chen Chen asked him.
"I can't beat them, but Dad can pick me up and beat them up. One punch from me can give them multiple big bumps on the head."
"Then wait for the next chance, Dad will take you to beat them up."
"Okay, they bullied my father and my dad, so they must be beaten." He Sixuan clenched his little fists and said a little angrily.
He Jinshu smiled faintly when he heard this, patted his brother's head, and then said to him: "Have some snacks first, it will be time to eat soon."
He Sixuan nodded when he heard that, then picked up a piece of dessert and started eating.
Afterwards, He Jinshu said to He Siyi, "Siyi, eat first, then read after you finish eating."
"Okay, Father." He Siyi put down the book he had just bought and responded.
