Chapter 269 She May Be Involved
These few lines of poetry made a group of married and unmarried girls all feel delighted.
It would be fine if Chu Yian just flirted with the girl, but he always found opportunities to mock the group of men opposite.
I was supposed to take a day off today and go out for a boat trip on the lake, and see if I can meet my destined person and create a beautiful story.
Who knew I would be ridiculed like this?
The young men on the boat were really restless and felt itchy all over unless they cursed a few words.
One of them stepped on the side of the boat, pointing at Chu Yian with his hair standing on end in anger: "No, who are you? Why are you mocking us like this?"
"We have worked very hard. Why do you laugh at someone who works so hard?"
Another person said: "Exactly. I don't know which girl is so uneducated. She can't even read a few words and thinks fame and status are cabbages on the street that can be bought with money."
"If you are so capable, why don't you try taking the exam?"
After he finished speaking, many men laughed: "Brother Su, you can't say that. Since ancient times, has there ever been a woman who passed the imperial examination? Wouldn't it be laughed at if you told others?"
"A woman should be a good wife and mother, and be kind and gentle, so that she can be valued by her husband's family."
"If all women were like this, who would dare to marry them? Brother Zhang, would you dare?"
The man called Brother Zhang quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I dare not marry such a huge Buddha and worship it. Wouldn't that bring trouble to myself?"
"Brother Li, do you dare?"
The man called Brother Li also shook his head: "Brother, please don't make fun of me. I already have a virtuous wife at home, and I dare not want someone like this."
The man was still talking, but Chu Yian didn't even look at them. He said to the girls with gentle eyes: "See, people, once their sore feet are stepped on, they start to get anxious."
"They're anxious."
Having said that, the girls' expressions were not very good.
That group of people didn't know Chu Yian's identity and dared to say such things, but they all knew it.
If Chu Yian were to suffer such humiliation today, how would I have the nerve to ask her out to play again in the future?
Su Zhi was the one who organized today's lake cruise and was the first one to get restless.
Just as she was about to step forward to argue, Chu Yian pushed her back and hit her on the forehead with his hand.
Su Zhi glared at her: "Sister Yi An, what are you doing? How can they say that to you?"
Chu Yian chuckled: "Speak, whatever, I can argue with them, but you can't."
Su Zhi was stunned: "Why?"
Chu Yian's eyes curved: "If they want to scold me, just scold me, I don't care, but if you are scolded, I will feel bad."
"And if something gets out, it won't be good for your reputation."
"My reputation doesn't matter, but I want yours to be clean."
These words were spoken in a low voice so that the person on the other end could not hear them.
But the girls were all a little ashamed, and they felt as if something was flowing through their hearts, warm and sweet.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Yian also changed a little.
Chu Yian reached out and grabbed the hands of Su Zhi and the girl closest to him, his eyes scanning everyone present one by one.
The corners of his lips raised: "Don't argue with them, I'll take care of it if you suffer."
Of course, you have to take this opportunity to show off yourself.
Moreover, these girls have been brought up with etiquette and rules since childhood, so the insults have no effect at all on the shameless people on the opposite side.
After saying this, Chu Yian let go of the girl's hand and looked back at the group of men who looked like they had won a battle.
Seeing Chu Yian finally turned around, the people on the opposite side were very proud.
"What was the girl talking about just now? Why didn't she pay attention to us?"
Chu Yian blinked: "No, I was just telling them that the more men I meet, the more I like dogs."
Girls: ...
Men: ...
Phew, I don’t know who laughed.
Chu Yian: "Alas, a group of men blocked the women's way out, but turned around and laughed at them for being trapped in the inner house with only their husbands and children. How pathetic!"
After saying that, he looked at the group of men and waved his hand: "Of course, I'm not talking about you. After all, other than laughing at us, these things really have nothing to do with you."
"Fame, fortune and status have nothing to do with you. If you say something outside, it's like farting and no one will pay any attention. People passing by will at most curse you out."
"So I don't mean to blame you. You are special in my heart."
"There's a clarity of mind and eyes that no one else has."
After Chu Yian finished speaking, the air seemed to be quiet for a second.
You don't even need to think to understand what she meant. Some of the men blushed with anger, some felt extremely ashamed because of some of the words, and some still acted superior, watching coldly and not participating.
The ashamed person pointed at her with shaking hands: "You, vulgar! How can a girl say, say, that word?"
"Exactly. Who are you from? How can you be so rude? I must come to your house and ask how your family raised you."
"Just say it yourself, but don't lead the other girls astray."
Chu Yian blinked. Although she was married, she didn't like to wear her hair in a bun like a woman, and she still let her hair down like before she got married.
She only lets Xiaofu help her put her hair up in formal occasions.
This group of people... is it true that no one knows her? After all, she has appeared before the emperor.
If that happens, she won't be polite.
Chu Yian raised the corners of his lips, revealing a harmless smile, looking extremely pure.
"Why are you guys out on the lake? A bunch of grown men are arguing with a little girl like me. It's so relaxing."
"Did you pass the imperial examination and become a Gongshi? Did you pass the Juren? Did you become a Xiucai? Or are you still a commoner now?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that won't do, you..."
She pointed at the one who had been talking the most and jumping the most cheerfully just now: "He looks like he's in his forties..."
The man glared angrily: "Nonsense! I'm only 22."
Chu Yian quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, you are so stupid. Why are you so anxious when there is nothing wrong? I almost thought you were the same generation as my father."
Man: ...his whole body was shaking and his face was flushed red.
This is clearly a deliberate humiliation. I just came here in a hurry today and am a little unkempt. How come I look like a man in his forties?
Chu Yian: "Come, tell me, are you a Juren or Gongshi now? Jinshi?"
The man opened his mouth, but couldn't say that he was still a scholar.
Chu Yian frowned slightly: "Isn't he still a scholar? I remember that when You Xuanyu was the top scorer in high school last year, he was only 21 years old, younger than you."
"He became the top scholar at a young age, but you are still a scholar at your age. Have you ever thought about what the problem is?"
The man didn't even listen to her words: "People still die at your age. Why don't you just die?"
Chu Yian sighed, "I was seriously analyzing the reasons with you, but you cursed me to death. This is not what a gentleman does."
"Look at you, you're unshaven from head to toe, with dark circles under your eyes, and your clothes smell so sour even from such a distance."
"Looking at your mental state, someone who knows you would say you're 22 years old. If I didn't, I'd think you were some crazy old man who got out of his cell."
"If nothing else, just this alone has already left you far behind."
"Let me ask you, are you going to study and take exams with this half-dead, paralyzed mental state?"
"Go to the street and find a random dog. See if its spirit is better than yours."
"Old man... no, young man, this won't do. You look so young and yet you've been drained by alcohol and sex. If you keep this up, even if you study for another hundred years, you'll still be nothing more than a scholar."
The young man, who looked a little old, was shaking all over because of this wave of precise attacks.
He sometimes studies hard, okay?
He just didn't have time to change his clothes today. Is it necessary to say this to him in front of so many people and embarrass him?
Also, who can say that someone is just a scholar for a hundred years?
Who do you look down on?
Chu Yian ignored him and looked at the person who had jumped for the second most joyful moment. He asked politely, "What's your name, sir?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, the young ladies behind Chu Yian whispered with shining eyes: "This person seems to be the eldest son of Master Sheng Hongyu."
Chu Yian closed his open mouth. Aunt’s eldest son?
By the way, my aunt seemed to have said that her children didn't understand her at all and always advised her to be tolerant.
Today I see that he is not a good person. It is really infuriating. No wonder he made my aunt so sad.
Her eyes suddenly became fierce, completely losing the kindness and tolerance she had shown to the previous person.
He opened his mouth and started to curse: "Why are you hanging out with them instead of studying hard at the academy? Don't you know what kind of people they are?"
"You're already so old, but you don't want to study hard to get a good degree, or make some useful connections. Instead, you hang out with this bunch of useless social scraps every day, chatting, drinking, and flirting with girls. I think you're itching for trouble."
"Do you believe that I'm going to rush over to your house tomorrow and give you a good beating? I won't believe it until I straighten your temper!"
Sheng Lingchuan:?
Sheng Lingchuan's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears.
Her tone sounded as if she was lecturing an ignorant younger generation.
Are they related?
Do they know each other?
Seeing his ignorant look, Chu Yian became even angrier. Just as he was about to speak, a man snorted disdainfully.
"What's wrong with us getting together? Who are we looking down on? When we get together, we talk about poetry and life."
"Unlike you women, who love to gossip when you get together."
"We men don't have so many thoughts. Brother Sheng feels happy and comfortable with us."
"It's really tiring to be with you guys."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian was really amused by this sentence.
She really hated this sentence the most: We men are not very smart.
Yes, yes, yes, you men are so simple-minded. Did the nine princes of the Qing Dynasty fight for the throne and get Yadi?
Relying on rock-paper-scissors to get to the top?
Chu Yian laughed out loud. The more he looked at the other side, the more he felt that the thinking patterns and IQ of this group of people were not what normal people should have, and were far below the average level.
The brain is not fully developed and the cerebellum is completely underdeveloped. It is filled with only waste materials. Any useful thing put in will be excreted immediately.
Damn, that was a close call. I almost married one of them.
Chu Yian turned his head to look at the girls, and said earnestly: "Come, take a good look at these people, and never marry them in the future. Sisters should also restrain themselves."
She patted her chest and said, "How terrible! Although I'm forty, I'm still a little boy..."
"Although I always like to bully and beat people, especially those children from poor families, making their lives miserable and worse than death."
"But I don't have any bad intentions. I just simply can't stand them."
The girls nodded in agreement, memorizing the faces one by one.
The men looked unhappy. There were many girls here today, including at least half of the noble ladies in Shengjing who were of marriageable age.
If we publicize this a little bit when we get back, the whole Shengjing will know about it.
These people are so gossipy, who knows what the rumors will turn out to be?
The men gritted their teeth and said, "Don't go too far. If you don't want to get married, we don't want to marry you yet."
"That's right, you act like you're such a hot commodity, who cares?"
"I remember now. She seems to be the eldest daughter of Lord Chu. We met in Zhuangyuan Building. Why does she look so familiar?"
Chu Yian:!!
After being reminded, many people quickly remembered.
The Chu Yian who scolded his father so much that he fainted in Zhuangyuan Building?
And what about Chu Yian who said at the city gate: Whoever offends Dashun will be punished, no matter how far away he is?
No, both of her incidents caused quite a stir, why didn’t anyone remember it?
Chu Yian's heart skipped a beat and he quickly covered his face.
She lost, she lost. Even though she had never lost an argument, she was still a little weak against a group of people.
Damn.
No! She can lose, but this mouth must not lose!
But now is not the time. She should go back and practice for a few hundred rounds before coming back to practice with them.
As he thought about this, he grabbed the girls and hurried back to the cabin.
She said bluntly, "Look at them. They're so young and their brains are so muddled. You must never marry them. If you marry them, you'll have to take care of their shit and piss."
"What Lord Chu? I don't know him. With my memory, I can't even finish four dishes in my lifetime."
"I went out for a boat trip and ran into a bunch of people with mental problems. My good mood was completely ruined. It was ruined."
Today I just wanted to tease the girls and win their favor, and at the same time make them wary of men, but I didn't want to get myself involved.
The girls walked into the cabin and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Yi An, you still need to practice your mouth, hahahaha."
"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you see the looks on their faces just now? I haven't felt this good in a long time, hahaha."
"Yes, yes, I just saw Zhong Ang. Bah, my mother wanted to arrange a marriage for us. Fortunately, it hasn't been arranged yet. I'll go back and tell my mother that this marriage can't be arranged."
"Me too……"
After talking for a few words, the girls looked at each other. Shengjing was so small, and there were only so many people in the upper circle, so these were the only families that came to visit each other.
Everyone is of marriageable age, so it is normal to have some people dating or discussing engagement.
But who could have expected this to happen today?
Although we cannot use today's events as the sole criterion for evaluating a person, it is still better to reconsider carefully.
Chu Yian is now hiding in the corner pretending to be a quail.
Listening to the girls' discussions, each one of them either wanted to take a new look at someone or reconsider, and the ones they had previously liked might just be gone.
The current situation... always feels a bit disadvantageous to her.
If this continues, she has a hunch that she might be implicated.
The kind that is reported to the emperor.
