Geng Xingshuang looked at Ma San, who was sweating profusely and still checking the horse. She had some vague guesses in her heart. She was about to say a few words to deal with the situation. Mrs. Yang and Yang Fu had already walked over quickly, and on the other side Yang The second master Yang Qingbi, Jiang Xuefu's brother Jiang Lianbu and several male guests walked over quickly from the other side.
Jiang Lianbu cared about his sister and looked over Jiang Xuefu's whole body. He was relieved when he saw that she was not injured.
Mrs. Yang took Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen's hand and asked them if they were scared. Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingshuang said they were fine, and Geng Xingshuang briefly told what happened.
"Sister Shuang, Sister Chen, and Miss Jiang. This happened so suddenly that you girls must be frightened. It's better to go to the inner courtyard to rest for a while, and then let the doctor check your pulse and calm down." Let the family's carriage take you back." Mrs. Yang told Mr. Yang's arrangements again.
"Brother, I want to go back." Jiang Xuefu didn't look at Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang, but faced the Jianglian Trail directly.
Without waiting for Jiang Lianbu to react, she continued: "Sister Shuang and sister Chen are also going back with me."
Jiang Lianbu raised his forehead and wanted to say, sister, you just make your own decisions, why do you make decisions for others.
However, although he complained about his sister in his heart, Jiang Lianbu immediately looked at Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen.
Although he is outside the courtyard today, because his sister has different characteristics from other girls' families, he is naturally thinking about his daughter when he brings her out today. If something goes wrong, his parents will scold him. I will also regret having to coax people out today.
So when I learned that my sister was not as usual as before, because she could not integrate into the social circle of girls, she was pushed aside alone, and even left early. Instead, she made two friends, enjoyed the flowers and ate together, and finally did not Jiang Lianbu couldn't tell how happy she was to take her own carriage and her new friend's carriage to take her home.
He was afraid that because his sister made the decision for two new friends without permission, people would think her rude and no longer recognize her as a friend.
"Thank you Madam for your concern. Although this matter is dangerous today, fortunately, Sister Jiang is here. Apart from being a little frightened, Sister Six and I were not injured, so we will not go in to disturb you anymore. Besides, Sister Jiang is with us. , we feel more at ease on the way back."
Geng Xingshuang politely declined Mrs. Yang's proposal. Even though her chest still hurt a little, she was unwilling to stay in the Yang family any longer.
Both parties exchanged a few polite words, and finally seeing that Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen really insisted on leaving, Mrs. Yang reluctantly let them go and even sent the Yang family carriage to see them off.
"Uncle and aunt, please use our carriage." Jiang Lian said.
"Brother Jiang, if my guess is correct, you brothers and sisters are here today and only drove a carriage. How are you going to go back? Do you want to go back in a carriage with the two girls from the Geng family? We all know that you have good intentions. , but good intentions can also lead to bad things. You should think more carefully before speaking in the future to avoid misunderstanding. It will not only affect the reputation of the two girls, but also make people misunderstand that you are a prostitute. It is really unfair. "
At this time, a voice suddenly spoke up. The tone was both ridiculing and trying to explain Jiang Lianbu's lack of consideration. He was speaking from the position of Jiang Lianbu's relatives and friends.
But Geng Xingshuang felt that these words were too abrupt, because she did not think about the issue of reputation from Jiang Lianbu's previous proposal. She knew that the Jiang brothers and sisters only had one carriage, but even if she was someone like Jiang Lianbu, Bu was just meeting them for the first time and would never misunderstand that Jiang Lianbu would ride in a carriage with them.
She wouldn't think so when she met someone for the first time. Looking at the expressions of other people around her, she didn't have any misunderstandings because of Jiang Lianbu's words. So if the person who suddenly appeared was really Jiang Lianbu's relative or friend, who would How could such a misunderstanding arise, and why he even went to great lengths to say such specious words in a joking and explaining tone in public?
Geng Xingshuang glanced at the speaker.
He is tall and thin, or should be said to be as thin as a stick, skinny and skinny, with a yellowish complexion and many spots on his cheeks. His eyebrows are light and short, his eyes are small and dull, his nose is wide, and his teeth are sparse and misaligned when he speaks. Wearing a ginger-yellow straight suit, with an eggplant-purple quilt and a green belt hook tied around his waist, this man was looking at Jiang Lianbu with a half-smile.
Just by looking at this expression, Geng Xingshuang knew that this person was definitely not a relative or friend of Jiang Lianbu. Not to mention an enemy, at least he was someone who disliked Jiang Lianbu and was deliberately looking for trouble.
Jiang Lianbu didn't seem to expect that someone would suddenly say such words. He didn't answer at first. He immediately pulled his sister to stop what she was going to do next.
Fortunately, he stopped it in time, otherwise this skinny guy would have taken a bath in the pond the next moment.
"Brother Cheng, you are worrying too much. I am not such a ungrateful person. My sister and the two girls from the Geng family took our carriage back, but the Geng family's carriage is still here. I will help the coachman to take the carriage back. My uncle, I am not very talented, but my equestrian skills are acceptable. This arrangement can also prevent the horse from going crazy again and disturbing passers-by."
The man surnamed Cheng, who had a rather rough appearance, stiffened after hearing this, and then looked at Ma San, who was standing aside with his head bowed after inspecting the horse.
"In my opinion, this coachman should be beaten to death with sticks. Today's disaster was all caused by his improper driving of the carriage. He disturbed two...three girls."
After saying that, he ignored Ma San who knelt down and turned pale, looked towards Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, his eyes roamed over the faces of Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingshuang, "Fortunately, Miss Geng is blessed with good fortune. It’s okay.”
Geng Xingchen frowned, but Geng Xingshuang ignored it and said to Ma San, "Uncle Ma San, do you now know why this horse is crazy?"
"I know, I know." Ma San replied immediately. Everyone looked at Ma San. Ma San was sweating profusely and said with shame, "The horse's shoe is broken."
"Why did it break?"
"Yes... it may be that I sent the eldest young master to Licai Academy before and walked on the mountain road. It may have been worn out at that time, but it was not broken at that time. It was just in time for today. Miss Six and Miss Seven, it's me and the youngest I was negligent and didn't check before going out, which led to what happened today. I apologize to the two girls and ask them to forgive me!"
As he said that, he touched his head to the ground and kowtowed several times with "bang bang bang".
"Okay, Uncle Ma, this matter is indeed your negligence. We will report the truth to my grandmother and second uncle when we go back. But this is someone else's house. If you knock your head and stain the floor, you still have to stay." Helping others wash the floor is another crime."
Geng Xingshuang's voice was gentle and calm, as if she was comforting the servants at home, but the words she said were too ridiculous, but when she heard them in Ma San's ears, for some reason, it sent chills down his spine.
