Chapter 10: Bullying is not once or twice
Chen Rong appeased Xu Yiru and accompanies her back to Chen's house in a carriage. After getting off the carriage, she saw that the house was brightly lit and noisy.
"Miss is back!" The butler saw Chen Rong happily running into the hall.
Afterwards, Chen Youwu and Chen Wenshu both came out, looking bad.
"Fortunately my sister is fine." Chen Wen let out a sigh of relief.
Chen Rong lowered his head, a little ashamed, "Well... yes, I heard that there are bandits, that, I'll go back to rest first."
Xu Yiru noticed Chen Rong's abnormality, but she didn't think much about it, she went to bed after bathing, but she was frightened at night and kept tossing and turning, and it was only bright outside when she was awakened by a nightmare.
"Miss, what's the matter with you?"
"It's fine." Xu Yiru shook her head, covering her heart and turning pale.
Liu Er was worried about her, so she secretly went out and told Chen Rong.
Chen Rong hadn't slept all night, and was upset for some reason. Hearing Liu'er's report, he began to worry about Xu Yiru again, "Why don't you go to the temple today and put incense sticks."
The nearest temple is two or three miles outside the city, and it is famous for its incense.
The carriage drove out of the towering city gate, and the open field was covered with white snow. Xu Yiru leaned against the window, lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, feeling much better.
"Ahie" Chen Rong couldn't help sneezing when the cold wind blew, and rubbed her nose.
"I'm sorry..." Xu Yiru quickly put down the curtain and looked at Chen Rong nervously, "I'm only concerned about myself..."
She stood by the window at night, blowing the cold wind, and stood there inadvertently all night, and then she had some signs of a cold. Chen Rong glanced at Xu Yiru's lips subconsciously, and looked away awkwardly, she, she didn't care...
Xu Yiru came over and touched Chen Rong's forehead, leaning on Chen Rong's body, looking serious, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever, I will drink a bowl of **** soup in the temple later to ward off the cold. ."
Chen Rong replied in a muffled voice, but her fingers hooked Xu Yiru's blue silk hanging on the back of her hand. This is probably... the feeling of being soft around your fingers?
The Chen family can be said to be the largest pilgrim in this temple. As soon as Chen Rong entered the temple, the host came to greet him.
Master Jingtai clasped his hands together, "Miss Chen has come from a long way, it's really hard, the weather is cold, why don't you go to the east wing for a cup of hot tea?"
"Thank you for hosting." Chen Rong bowed respectfully.
There were not many pilgrims in the temple at this time. The huge cauldron was placed on the long steps, with many long incense sticks, and the curling smoke dissipated in the air. When the group walked to the veranda, they suddenly heard someone making a noise outside the wing. Xu Yiru looked over and smiled slightly, but unexpectedly it was the Lin family.
"Our Lin family really collided with the evil star, Master Jingyuan, you have to do something for us to get rid of bad luck." Mrs. Lin's tone was sad, her back turned to the veranda, and she couldn't see someone coming from behind. He said to himself, "We must give a lot of incense money."
Lin Yue'e stood beside her with a haggard expression and sneered, "It's all my father's confusion, he dares to lead any mortal star to his house!"
Jingyuan frowned when she heard it, and when she saw the host coming, she bowed, "The monks don't interfere in the cause and effect of the world, the madam should find another place."
Lin Yue'e was finally angry when she saw the monk's unshakable appearance, "Don't even your temple look down on our current Lin family?!"
The sound of bells ringing and chanting came from the front yard, which is really out of tune in this scene.
When her Xu family was prosperous, the Lin family Baba was clinging to her. Now the Xu family is no longer glorious, and the good relatives of the past have turned their faces and refused to recognize them!
Chen Rong sneered, patted Xu Yiru's hand soothingly, and strode out of the veranda, "Why do you embarrass other masters and do things? Are you not dead yet? It's urgent Excessive?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment when she saw Chen Rong, then a burst of anger that had been dismantled, and her previous resentment also emerged together, she gritted her teeth and said, "You Chen family are like this. Education, is this kind of bullying?!"
When Xu Yiru heard her scolding Chen Rong, she felt annoyed, "Aunt, you are slandering people behind your back, what qualifications do you have to speak of the Chen family!"
"Oh, now you are hugging your thighs and turning your elbows out, right?" Lin Yue'e glared at Xu Yiru resentfully, "Our Lin family has come to this point because of you, this bitch. , people hurt! We slandered you? Don't forget, you are a death star!"
Mrs. Lin also sneered: "Don't call me aunt, I can't stand it!"
Xu Yiru's eyes were red, and she held the corner of her clothes tightly.
"Enough!" Chen Rong's face turned gloomy, looking at the mother and daughter of the Lin family coldly, "It's really unfortunate to have relatives like you, since you have the courage to be arrogant in front of me , it must be that my previous punishment was not enough." She paused, turned her head and instructed Xiao Liuzi, "Go on with my words and cut off all business dealings with the Lin family. Besides... If anyone in Jiangnan dares to trade with the Lin family again, they will Don't blame me, Chen Rong, for being rude!"
"Yes." Xiao Liuzi got the order and stepped back to pass the word.
"You, you..." Mrs. Lin's face was instantly bloodless, and she staggered back two steps, but fortunately she was supported by Lin Yue'e, "Your Chen family is too deceiving!"
It's just bullying you, I, Chen Rong, admit it frankly."
The Lin family relied on the high-married Mrs. Xu, and after a little inquiries about this matter, they knew that the Lin family not only did not have the slightest repayment of gratitude, but almost killed the Xu family's widow. Chen Rong really admired the brain circuits of the mother and daughter.
Let’s settle the accounts. The Lin family owes the Xu family 3,000 taels of silver, and the interest is 300 taels per year. I will send the account details to the government. I believe… the government will handle it fairly.”
Xu Yiru didn't want to tear her face, but she didn't have to worry about anything anymore.
Besides...she turned to look at Chen Rong with a cold face, her heart warmed, she couldn't always stand behind Ah Rong...
"Three thousand taels..." Lin Yue'e's expression finally changed, and she asked her mother in embarrassment, "Mother, is what she said true?"
Mrs. Lin retorted, "Your parents said back then that they would not ask for this money again!"
Chen Rong didn't expect such a show, and couldn't help but laugh, the Lin family is really fighting to the end. Three thousand taels is not a small number for an ordinary family.
"In black and white, Mrs. Lin can't deny it." Chen Rong's mood improved a lot, "Tsk tsk, if you don't pay 3,000 taels, you have to go to jail."
Xu Yiru lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yes, if Mrs. Lin doesn't pay back the money, it's okay to go to jail."
Huangmei was wrapped in soft white snow, and delicate flowers appeared in the gaps.
Chen Rong raised her hand to clean up the snow, and broke off a branch full of yellow plums. The flowers bloomed arbitrarily in the cold winter. She handed the flower to Xu Yiru, "The bad luck has passed, and the New Year will definitely have good luck again and again."
"En." Xu Yiru nodded and took the flower branch, the chill in his eyes melted away.
"Follow me." Chen Rong took Xu Yiru's empty hand, took her to the courtyard behind the temple, took out two copper coins beside a carp pond, and gave it to Xu Yiru Pie, "This is the wishing pool. Throwing copper coins in it can wash away bad luck."
Of course she knew this was just a lie to children, but she still pretended to be.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true." Chen Rong nodded solemnly, threw the copper coin into the water, and sank to the bottom with a "tong" sound, making the red carp swim to the side in shock.
Xu Yiru followed her and threw the copper coins into the water.
Just at this time, a young monk who was sweeping the floor passed by and couldn't help muttering, "Miss Chen, why are you throwing copper coins again? You said that this is just an ordinary pool, it can't be like this... Let's scoop it up It's also very troublesome."
Chen Rong: “…”
She was a little embarrassed and gave the little monk a blank look, "I said yes, it's all right, this is the Wishing Pond! Tomorrow I will have the three characters of the Wishing Pond be engraved here!"
The little monk sighed, with an expression that really can't help you.
Xu Yiru let out a low laugh, not expecting Chen Rong to have such a rambunctious side, and tugged at her sleeve, "A Rong, don't embarrass others."
"Cough cough." After hearing what Xu Yiru said, Chen Rong nodded solemnly: "I was just joking with him."
After serving the incense and eating the vegetarian food, it was already afternoon after I asked for the talisman.
"In the side yard." Liu Xiang pointed.
Chen Rong walked into the side yard and saw Xu Yiru standing under the marriage tree tying a red ribbon, the wind blowing over the tree full of red ribbons flying, her skirt also moved with the wind, raised her hand to use The little finger hooked the blue silk behind her ear, with a peaceful smile on her face.
Chen Rong couldn't bear to break the silence for a moment.
"A Rong, why are you here?" Xu Yiru noticed the person at the door, a little embarrassed.
"Whose name did you write?" Chen Rong asked subconsciously, a little nervous, "I'm just curious, who is Sister Xu's sweetheart."
Xu Yiru glanced at the red ribbon just hung on the side of her body, nothing was written on it, she looked away lightly, "No." The girl in the white coat added, against her will, "I don't have a sweetheart."
"That's it." Chen Rong replied, not knowing why he felt a little disappointed.
She hadn't recovered from this weird mood when she suddenly heard Xu Yiru speak again.
"A Rong, I'm going back to Wuyi."
