Chapter 220: Being Plotted Against
The stories told by storytellers in teahouses are not as shocking and thought-provoking as the debates of scholars.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu sighed: "They are all so talented. I really want to read more books by saints."
Xia Yu smiled at him and encouraged him: "There is also a practice method of the Book Saint, you can try it."
Shi Xiaoliu suddenly smiled: "I appreciate your encouragement, but it's too bad it's not necessary."
Shi Zelan looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you still want to go to the bookstore?"
"go."
When the three of them left the teahouse, they could still hear the endless debates of the scholars in the teahouse.
Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "Studying is still good, at least everyone is good at speaking."
Xia Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Shi Xiaoliu's words, and Shi Zelan urged Shi Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, hurry up.
We went to the bookstore, and maybe we will have time to go somewhere else to feel the style of the readers. ”
"Oh, the horse is frightened, get out of the way."
Shi Zelan heard the sound of horse hooves behind her and a carriage rushed towards her side.
Shi Zelan had already taken a step back at this time, but was grabbed by the sleeve by the woman on her left.
"Little sister, call for help."
Shi Zelan glanced at the woman in white who was pulling her sleeve, and took two steps back with her.
The carriage rushed past them, and passers-by exclaimed twice.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu had already rushed forward to Shi Zelan's side and saw the woman in white pulling at Shi Zelan's sleeve.
Anger flashed in both of their eyes, and Shi Zelan forcefully pulled the white-clothed woman's hand away.
Instead, she hugged Shi Zelan's arm and cried, "Help."
Shi Zelan pulled his arm out, stepped back several steps, and said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu who followed him, "Let's go."
The carriage knocked over a roadside stall, scaring an old man passing by so much that he sat down on the ground.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu stepped forward to help the man up. They had already seen someone in front trying hard to hold the frightened horse.
The woman in white rushed up at this time, crying, "Sister, how are you?"
When Shi Zelan passed by her, he inadvertently saw the coldness in her eyes, and he directly threw a dream talisman at her.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu stood on the street, watching the police running over to deal with the matter.
Shi Zelan had already gone to the carriage by now, and was looking at the woman in white holding the frightened little girl.
She cried bitterly, "Sister shouldn't have left you in the car."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu came over and whispered to Shi Zelan, "Let's go."
Shi Zelan turned around and left with them. After Xia Yu looked at her, she said to Shi Xiaoliu, "When I was leaving, I looked around. We shouldn't have encountered something like this today."
Shi Xiaoliu glanced at Shi Zelan and said to Xia Yu, "Man proposes, God disposes. Let's go to the bookstore and buy some pens to use when we take them back."
The three of them walked forward. The woman in white hugged the pale-looking young woman while crying. She even had the energy to look up at Shi Zelan's back.
"I clearly asked a fortune teller, and she said that if I just hold the sleeve of the pink-dressed woman passing by, she and I will have good luck."
Shi Zelan naturally had no idea that the woman in white had such intentions towards her. After she entered the bookstore, she picked up a book of poetry and left.
The sun was shining brightly. She felt a little cold inside the bookstore, but outside the bookstore, basking in the sun, she felt comfortable all over.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu came out of the bookstore and saw Shi Zelan basking in the sun outside the shop. Both of them frowned.
They didn't want to linger outside any longer, so they went straight home and let Shi Zelan sit in the yard to bask in the sun.
Shi Zelan looked at them and smiled: "She asked an expert to plot against me, but I fought back."
Xia Yu was still a little worried and asked: "Sister Lan, do you want to inform your master?
Your situation is different from ours. ”
After Shi Xiaoliu took Shi Zelan's pulse, he said to Xia Yu, "Sister Lan has something in mind. I'm afraid the person who plotted against her won't feel good about it."
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "When she pulled my sleeve, I felt that something was wrong with her.
Normally, she should reach out to the strongest young man closest to her and ask him for help.
Instead of me, a passerby who looks even more fragile than her, do I look like someone who can save others?
She was shouting at me to save people, but her body was leaning towards me, and her hands were not very polite. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu frowned: "Is he waiting by the roadside to plot against you?"
Shi Zelan shook her head: "I don't think so. I think she picked me randomly. I just happened to pass by and I just happened to meet her requirements."
Shi Zelan's face was sunburned, and Shi Xiaoliu said to her, "Sister Lan, if you have nothing to do, come and sit under the eaves."
"No, I have something to do. I want to stay in the sun for a while longer."
At 3 p.m., Shi Zelan went into the room, changed her clothes, and came out, then walked under the eaves.
Shi Xiaoliu asked Shi Zelan: "Can we go and watch other people's fun?"
"Do you want to see it?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "I thought you would be interested in watching it."
Shi Zelan listened to Shi Xiaoliu's words: "I'm not very interested in watching this kind of karma."
In a large mansion in the capital, some people were crying, some were laughing, and a woman in white was waiting for good news in her room.
"Miss, the master and mistress have arranged your marriage with the third young lady."
The little girl's voice came into the room. She stood up and said to the little girl who came in, "Which family did my father and mother arrange for me?"
The little girl looked at her with a smile on her face: "Miss, the master and his wife have arranged a marriage for you with a third-rank official. Once you marry him, you will be the head of the family."
The woman in white sat down on the stool and asked, "Which family did the third young lady choose?"
"Miss, it's that handsome poor scholar.
Miss, you are lucky. Originally, the master and the mistress wanted you to live a hard life, but the poor scholar said that he was not worthy of you. ”
The woman in white felt cold all over. She didn't want to choose either of the two marriage options.
But if she had no choice, she would rather marry a poor scholar.
She glanced at the ignorant little girl and forced a smile: "Has the news spread?"
The little girl smiled and nodded: "Miss, I run fast and tell you the good news first."
The woman in white asked her to go out first. When she was the only one left in the room, a ferocious look appeared on her face.
"Witch, wait for me. I will settle accounts with you tomorrow."
At night, the woman in white dreamed that her life was even more miserable. She woke up crying and fell asleep crying again.
During the day, she went to pay her respects to her mother, and her mother saw her red and swollen eyes.
She was surprised at the time and said, "My daughter, a family like us has done our best to find you such a good marriage."
