Chapter 774: Exposed in Public
I'm afraid that Zhang was just talking nonsense, and the Jiang family found out, and they came to settle the score with him.
He must stay away from it to avoid any unexpected disaster.
The waiter thought in his heart.
"Where is that Master Zhang? My master wants to see him about something. Which room is he in? Upstairs?" Pan Shitou did not walk past him, but walked up to him and asked.
Generally, the first-class rooms or superior rooms in an inn are on the second floor, so he thought Zhang Zhijian was on the second floor.
"It's inside, right inside." The waiter pointed to the backyard and whispered, fearing that his voice would be heard by Zhang Zhijian.
Without any hesitation, he showed him the way.
So Jiang Fubao and his group rushed directly to the backyard. Zhang Zhijian happened to come out to fetch water, preparing to wash his greasy face. The two sides suddenly met. Zhang Zhijian looked up and saw the Jiang family. He instantly became embarrassed.
Looking somewhat helpless, the bucket in his hand fell directly into the well, creating a splash and splattering a few drops of water, which just happened to land on Zhang Zhijian's cheek. He didn't even bother to wipe them off.
He was thinking frantically about how to phrase it. You know, he had always told Jiang Huanyu that he lived in the upper room of the inn. How could a guest in the upper room fetch water by himself? And the upper room was not located in the backyard, with people coming and going, which would disturb the guests.
So no matter how he explained it, the fact that he stayed there and waited for a room was a real fact.
Being exposed in front of his face, his face turned red.
It's the same color as the liver that the butcher takes out after killing a pig.
It was already greasy, and now it's even uglier.
"Huan Yue, why are you here?" He remained calm for a long time, finally suppressing his surprise, and then walked over. However, before he got close, he was stopped by the servants of the Jiang family.
This man's name is Dapeng. He was bought in the sixth batch. He has a muscular body and was originally a thug. Because of his straightforward personality, he offended the young master of the original owner and was sold. It happened that the Jiang family was short of workers, so they bought him back because they saw that he was in good health.
Whenever they need thugs or to stun the place, they always call him.
"Stop! Who allowed you to get so close?" Dapeng pushed lightly with his right hand, without even using any strength, but Zhang Zhijian staggered and almost fell, looking very frail.
Like a skinny chick.
Dapeng's eyes were full of disdain. How could such a man be worthy of coveting the Third Miss?
No wonder the young ladies were so angry. Even this man looked down on them, let alone the masters in the family, who had nothing they wanted.
Zhang Zhijian was embarrassed and was furious. He was half the master of the Jiang family, but when he was scolded by a servant, his face instantly sank and his eyes were full of ferocity. He wished he could eat Dapeng alive.
He opened his mouth to curse back to vent his anger, but then he thought that he and Huanyu had not yet settled down, and it was not the right time yet. He could not show his hand, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted. He could only turn to Jiang Huanyu and say, "Huanyu, your servant is a bit presumptuous.
Tsk tsk, you, the master, haven't even said a word, but he's scolding me. I know you're kindhearted and can't bear to mistreat him, but you have to learn to establish your authority, otherwise everyone will want to climb over your head, and others who don't know will think he's the master and you're the servant."
Jiang Fubao was amused by the gossip.
She grabbed her third sister who wanted to speak, took a small step forward, and spoke loudly.
"I am a servant of the Jiang family. No matter how I act, what's your business? Who do you think you are? You are yelling at me here. My third sister is innocent and kind. She often helps poor people. Everyone knows that she is the shopkeeper of the Common People's Hall. You saved her once. It is reasonable for her to invite you to dinner when you meet her again. My third sister is a martial arts master. Even if you don't save her, she can still escape. She invites you to dinner because she is kind-hearted and doesn't want to owe you a favor.
What's more, the prefect is my godfather, who dares to bully my third sister? Tomorrow I will send people to take those little beasts to the jail and torture them severely, using all kinds of punishments, such as sticks, whips, and needles. If they find out anything, some people will be skinned alive! She associates with you purely because she feels sorry for you. If she has caused you misunderstanding, here, take the money for the dinner. I will double it for you on behalf of my third sister. You don't need to change the three taels of silver.
So you have no reason to pester my third sister anymore, right? Tsk tsk, you came to my house on New Year's Eve, didn't your family teach you the word etiquette? Even the children in the village know that you can't go to someone's house to eat and drink for free on New Year's Eve. You are so grown up, don't you understand these things? And you live in a low-class room, it's really pitiful, I think, instead of pestering people, you might as well make more money..."
Jiang Fubao's pink mouth opened and closed, and the words that came out of it were extremely unpleasant.
She is very much like the vicious second female character who looks down on the male lead in the story, but Zhang Zhijian does not have the luck to be the male lead.
Jiang Fubao did it on purpose. This kind of person looks very thick-skinned. It is useless to talk to him nicely. He is too good at pretending. You have to attack him with the most unpleasant words.
Once his defenses were broken, his true colors were revealed. Naturally, the third sister saw through him and would no longer be soft-hearted.
This is Jiang Fubao's purpose.
Clearly, she succeeded.
These words really touched Zhang Zhijian's fragile heart, and his greasy face, which he had not had time to wash, turned dark.
His fists were hanging at his sides, clenched tightly, and if you looked closely, you could see that he was trembling slightly.
The veins on his forehead bulged and pulsed along with his body.
He tried his best to control his anger and wanted to talk to Jiang Fubao calmly, but his patience was not good enough, so he could not utter a word and could only stand there stupidly without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruyi also took a step forward, opened her sweet little mouth and said, "You look so poor, your face is so oily that you can use it to cook. The lard in my jar is not as oily as yours. What's the matter? Did you fall into your mother's jar? Are you reluctant to wash your face? You look so ugly and you want to play the hero and save the beauty. Are you a hero? My third sister, you are not even worthy of her toes.
How dare you still covet her? My third sister is stupid and was fooled by people like you, but I am not. I know what you are thinking when you blink your eyes or fart. Aren't you attracted to my family? You want to get close to the prefect and county magistrate, and take away my third sister's common people's hall, so that she can stay in the deep courtyard after marrying you, and you can walk in front of everyone instead of her. Men like you just want to get something for nothing. Fubao is right. I finally know where this saying is used.
It's perfect for you! What my third sister told you was all fooled by you. In addition to the elders in the family, we, as her sisters, are here to check her marriage. You! Impossible! Give up now! Go back to your Yunyou County! Don't let us see you again, or we will beat you every time we see you!"
With every word Jiang Ruyi spoke, Zhang Zhijian's face turned darker.
