Chapter 119 Nosy Neighbors
Chapter 119 Nosy Neighbors
Yan Tianchen next to him snorted coldly: "Invite a country bumpkin to appreciate chrysanthemums, will she be able to appreciate it? Is she worthy?"
Jian Yue sneered: "If you look down on country bumpkins, please don't eat the food grown by country bumpkins, and don't wear the cloth woven by country bumpkins. The current emperor advocates farming as the foundation of the country. What? Didn't Master Yan's teacher teach you that?"
Yan Tianchen's face flushed.
He hated studying the most. A country bumpkin was showing off his literary talent in front of him. Wasn't this a naked humiliation and ridicule?
Yan Tianchen’s temper was about to explode.
Yan Lingshan curled her lips with disdain: "You can't even read a single word, yet you're still pretending to be pedantic. It's so disgusting!"
At this time, several young ladies and gentlemen from official families came, but they were not in a hurry to go in. They just stood aside and watched the fun.
Jian Yue didn't even glance at Yan Lingshan, she looked at Xie Chujiao and said: "Young Master Yan and Second Miss Yan think I'm not worthy of coming to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Madam Yan thinks so too, right? In that case, I won't go in." Jian Yue turned around and left.
Xie Chujiao was dumbfounded and hurriedly said: "Miss Jian, please stay. Children are ignorant and just make a few jokes. Please don't take it seriously, Miss Jian."
Yan Xinning even chased after her, apologizing repeatedly: "Sister Yue, my brother and sister like to joke around, don't take it to heart. I apologize to you on their behalf." As she spoke, she reached out to pull Jian Yue. Jian Yue subconsciously dodged, stopped and glanced at Xie Chujiao and Yan Xinning: "Since they are ignorant and not taught well, don't let them out to annoy others. Madam Yan, I am your guest, not here to humiliate you. If you look down on me, just say so. I am a country boy, uneducated and uneducated, and I don't understand the twists and turns of the rich and powerful." After speaking, she left again.
Those who were watching the fun looked at each other in bewilderment.
It turns out that the disciple of the miracle doctor is like this. If he doesn't like something, he will just get angry and is not afraid of being criticized.
Why do I feel secretly happy?
Xie Chujiao and Yan Xinning looked extremely unhappy. They didn't expect Jian Yue to be so direct, and she would take advantage of the situation after just a few words of criticism. Moreover, since she had said so much, it would be even more embarrassing for them to keep her.
Jian Yue and the other two quickly got on the carriage and left.
Wouldn't it be better to have such a good excuse to not have to flatter those noble ladies who are arrogant? It would be better to do something more meaningful with that time.
Looking at Jian Yue's quickly departing back, Yan Xinning secretly rejoiced.
Now that Jian Yue was gone, she wouldn't have to help the Second Prince do that kind of thing. To be honest, the Second Prince was the man she loved, and if he was touched by other women, she would feel very uncomfortable.
Anyway, she left on her own, and she tried her best to keep her, but failed. The Second Prince shouldn't blame her, right?
Yan Xinning comforted herself.
What Jian Yue didn't know was that when the Second Prince came to the manor and learned that Jian Yue had been driven away by Yan Xinning's family of four, his face immediately drooped. He looked at Yan Xinning with disappointment, then turned and left.
At that moment, Yan Xinning's heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, it hurt so much.
The second prince promised her that if she could make Jian Yue lose her virginity to him at the chrysanthemum appreciation party, help him make Jian Yue his woman, and get the wine brewing recipe of Dr. Mao, he would ask his father to grant her marriage and marry her as his principal wife. At that time, her mind was full of joy of becoming a prince's consort, and she agreed without thinking. But the moment she saw Jian Yue, she hesitated again.
After two or three months of recuperation, Jian Yue's rough, dark yellow skin became whiter and smoother. Her face grew some flesh, and her facial features became more and more delicate and full. Anyone could see that she was a beauty. When she grew up a little more, she would definitely be a little beauty. Yan Xinning felt a sense of crisis instantly, and she didn't want to cooperate with the second prince. But she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
The second prince just walked away, and I'm afraid his previous promise will not be fulfilled.
Yan Xinning was panicking and had no intention of attending the chrysanthemum appreciation party. She was distracted and finally ended the chrysanthemum appreciation party hastily, and hurried to find the second prince to explain.
Jian Yue turned and went back to Jian's house. She had to check the results and see if the reactions of those people met her expectations.
A group of people gathered at the gate of the Jian family. They were the nosy neighbors. They lay on the gate of the Jian family, listening attentively to the shouting and cursing coming from inside.
Jian Yue and the other two were standing behind them, but they didn't notice.
Jian Yue coughed heavily, but no one turned back. She coughed twice more, but still no one turned back.
Jian Yue: ...You are too absorbed in watching this excitement.
Jian Yue had no choice but to remind them: "Aunties, can you please make way?"
Aunt Liu was listening with great interest. When she heard this, she said angrily, "Why are you giving way? If you can't see it, just move the ladder to the top of the wall."
Jian Yue: "...Please make way. You are blocking the door and I can't get into the house."
Lu Jinhua: "Why are you coming in? Just listen. Who would invite you to their house to watch a quarrel?" After saying that, she felt something was wrong and turned around to see: "Oh my! It's Miss Zhaodi who's back. Sorry, I didn't recognize it as your voice just now."
The others quickly moved aside, all with awkward smiles on their faces as if they had been caught.
The neighbor on the left, Mrs. Jin, explained: "We didn't come here to eavesdrop on you on purpose. It's just that you guys are yelling and cursing every day, and it's disturbing us, so we came here to see what's going on."
"Yes, yes, we just came to take a look. It's really too noisy, even at night, and we can't sleep." Aunt Huang, the neighbor on the right, agreed.
Jian Yue nodded to show her understanding and apologized to everyone: "I am really sorry for affecting the normal lives of the aunts and sisters. I apologize to everyone on behalf of my family." Then, she took out a tael of silver and gave it to Aunt Huang, "Aunt Huang, take this tael of silver and buy some cakes to share with everyone."
"Oh! You are so polite, Zhaodi." Aunt Huang quickly took the silver and smiled like a flower.
"Aunt Huang, I'm not called Zhaodi anymore. My master gave me the name Jian Yue." Jian Yue felt uncomfortable, but she smiled and patiently corrected him.
"Yes, yes, it's Yue girl. Look at my memory." Aunt Huang patted her forehead. "Yue girl, you are a good person, but you have a pair of biased parents. Alas! They can't recognize gold and jade, your parents are just mud egg eyes."
"That's right, what a good girl! And she has a miraculous doctor as her teacher. Her family will enjoy endless blessings in the future."
"I don't know what Qian was thinking. She pushed away such a sensible and capable daughter."
Jian Yue quickly put on a wry smile and listened.
It was fine for others to say bad things about Jian Dacheng and his wife, but she couldn't agree with them, otherwise, these big-mouthed neighbors would make up stories about her behind her back!
"Girl, the noise inside is getting louder and louder, you should go in and take a look!" Mu Xiang reminded Jian Yue, but her eyes were fixed on the women surrounding Jian Yue.
These nosy women finally realized...
