Chapter 127: If you don’t watch the fun, you’re a fool
Dong'er rushed over upon hearing the news, bowed, and said in a cold tone: "The young lady is not at home, I'm afraid she can't come to listen to the lecture from the nanny."
If the other party is living uncomfortably, how can they be comfortable?
Especially this old woman who spoke in a pretentious tone all day long. If things didn't go her way, she would start scolding people. From the doorman to the cook, almost no one was spared.
Geba now runs away whenever he sees her from a distance, fearing that he will be the next one!
This is the northern border, not the capital!
If he, an old man half buried in the ground, were to be humiliated in public, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not do something that would hurt the relationship between the two families... It would be a small matter for him to get into trouble, but it would be a big matter for Magistrate Xue to be implicated!
Honglu County has finally waited for a county magistrate who is willing to get things done, and we can't afford to delay any further.
"As a maid in the Xue Mansion, you are so willful and derelict in your duty, showing up in the market all day long, without even considering whose face you are bringing shame upon yourself."
Nanny Chen was sarcastic. Of course she knew that Chen Chunxing was not at home and that he had not been staying there for nothing these days. She knew about 70% of what she needed to know, though she didn't say she knew everything.
"Please be careful with your words, Ma'am." Dong'er's face darkened.
Several servants approached quietly.
Now, in the entire Xue Mansion and even in the front hall of the county government office, there is no one who doesn't want to please Miss Shen. Dare to say bad things about her here, isn't this asking for a beating?
They don't know what rules are. Xue Yongan never taught them, and Chen Chunxing never disciplined them either. They are all rough guys who have lived in the border for a long time. They only understand one thing - you have to work for whoever pays you!
Even if I lose my life, I have to make sure that the meat in the bowls of my whole family is worth it!
"Madam, I know where the man surnamed Chen is. Why don't you go there in person? That way, the people will know the man's true identity..." A maidservant secretly pulled Madam Chen's sleeve and whispered to dissuade her.
The guards brought on this trip were under the orders of Manager Chen. Although both of them had the surname "Chen", they had no connection at all. One had lived in the rear house for a long time, while the other was often sent out to manage important affairs and was highly regarded by the Duke.
It was impossible for Nanny Chen to compete with him for power.
Even though Chen He seemed impartial and tried to smooth things over the past few days, his status alone and the fact that he did not stand on the side of the Duke's Mansion was already telling.
"Come on, you lead the way!"
As a county magistrate and a distant nephew of the Duke, she couldn't discipline Xue Yongan, so could she not discipline a little maid?
Even if the other party was dissatisfied, they wouldn't confront the Duke's Mansion head-on for a maid...
In other words, no one could hear her inner voice. If they could, I'm afraid the old student across from the county government office who made a living by writing petitions would jump out and tell Nanny Chen:
You are so good at it!
While he was helping someone submit a petition, he heard the young county magistrate mention Miss Shen no less than three times!
The other day, someone reported the neighbor for blocking the road to store miscellaneous items. It was dark at night and the neighbor's mother tripped over it.
When County Magistrate Xue heard that the two families lived next to the south city market, he immediately ordered the defendant to give up the road. Fearing that the defendant would pretend to obey but actually disobey, he specially sent two yamen runners to help move the property.
The yamen runners were actually quite happy about this, secretly telling the old student that if Miss Shen happened to pass by and startled her mule cart, it would be more than just paying the medical expenses that would solve the problem. Lord Xue was actually relieving the defendant's worries in advance...
Listen, listen, how many men can be so attentive to their wives?
Even though Miss Shen claims to be a maid in the Xue Mansion, anyone with a bit of brains would not believe it!
Anyway, when the old student saw Nanny Chen and her men leaving the county government office in a threatening manner, he wrapped his thin clothes around himself and felt very emotional.
Finally, here comes a brainless person... I'm afraid there will be some good show to watch!
He rolled up the paper and pen on the table, put them into his study, slung them over his shoulder, and walked slowly towards the south city market.
It’s never too late to make money. If you don’t watch the fun, you’re a fool!
——
It was past noon.
Chen Chunxing put his hands in his sleeves and strolled back and forth in the market like a second-rate guy. Sometimes he shouted in front of his own stall, sometimes he ran to Ge Daniu's stall to chat with people, and sometimes he went to the market entrance to look around.
Anyone who met her head-on didn't show any disgust; as long as they met her smiling eyes, they couldn't help but smile.
The Ge family did not break their promise, but they did not directly put the herbs on the market.
The only agreement was that the prescription Dr. Chang would write the day before would be picked up the next day with a note. In one hand, they would hand over the money, and in the other, the package was so tightly wrapped that the contents couldn't be seen from the outside.
This method seems good, but it is actually a bit like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
The county town is so small and there are so many patients. Jichang Pharmacy has lost business. Can't you guess the reason?
But Chen Chunxing didn't mention it. When catching a thief, you have to catch the dirty stuff. She waited for the "dirty thing" to come out by itself.
When Nanny Chen arrived, she happened to see Chen Chunxing leading a young man towards the market.
The young man was tall and thin. Although her features could not be seen, she could catch a glimpse of his red earlobes and neck. She instantly perked up and shrieked, "Such a good fellow named Shen! No wonder you're not home all day. You've been having affairs with other people out there! Today, I'm going to teach you, my young master's maid, a lesson!"
Chen Chunxing slowly turned around, but before he could say anything, he saw a kick coming from the side, knocking Nanny Chen to the ground!
“Where did this cunning woman come from, and how dare she slander Miss Shen! Could it be that she has lived too long and thinks her life is too long!”
Clang.
The tattered baskets piled on the roadside were knocked all over the place, and one of them happened to fall on Nanny Chen's head.
The wild dog barked at her, seemingly dissatisfied with her occupying its territory.
Chen Chunxing: “…”
I clapped subconsciously.
She was always amazed by the customs of the people in the North!
Nanny Chen finally managed to free herself from the broken basket, only to find a group of people standing in front of her. She had no idea who had attacked her, and her hands were shaking like sieves. "You scoundrels! How dare you commit such a crime in broad daylight? Do you want to be thrown into jail?"
Everyone laughed.
"We each have two feet, but there are at least dozens of them here. Tell me which foot kicked you? Don't go to the county government office and accuse yourself of slander!"
Nanny Chen was so angry that her face turned red, but she was alert in her heart.
I had just named the maid named Shen, but now so many people stood up to support her. Could it be that... I just fell into the other party's trap?
Nanny Chen rolled her eyes and decided to swallow her loss. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was laughing, she stood up and rushed towards Chen Chunxing: "I want to see which man you seduced, you little slut!"
The young man just turned around, his face full of indignation, and quickly raised his foot and gave her another heart-breaking kick.
"Look carefully! I'm a pure woman!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing turned his head away as if he couldn't bear it.
On the consequences of poor eyesight...
She started to worry in advance. In ancient times, there was neither hair growth water nor convex mirrors, so it was necessary to protect her hardware facilities!
