Chapter 46 Apology
The sky became darker, and the rose-colored lake gradually settled into a dark color. The dark mountains in the distance looked like the mouth of a giant whale, and the reflection seemed a bit depressing.
Jiang Shouzhong frowned as he looked at the frozen boat and Zhao Wancang in the lake.
The other party’s strange behavior is really puzzling.
Possessed?
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated and decided to go to the ferry to find a small boat and get a closer look at the situation.
Even if you alert the enemy, it doesn't matter if you are discovered by the other party.
Not far from the lake shore, a little boy of about eight or nine years old wearing a big green cotton-padded jacket was chasing a black civet cat, picking up small stones and hitting the cat from time to time, making a crisp laugh.
Jiang Shouzhong ignored it at first, but the little black cat suddenly seemed to sense something and ran towards the lake.
The little boy, immersed in the play, subconsciously chased after him.
After the little black cat approached the shore, it seemed to be frightened again, and the hair on its body exploded in an instant.
With a scream, the black cat suddenly fled back.
As a result, the little boy who had just ran to the shore accidentally tripped on the little black cat, and his young body fell straight over.
Due to inertia, the little boy rushed straight towards the lake.
Just as he was about to fall into the lake, Jiang Shouzhong grabbed the little boy's slender arm and pulled him up.
The little boy was confused.
It wasn't until I regained my composure that I cried "Wow".
The maid who was looking for the young master not far away heard a familiar cry and hurriedly came over.
Seeing a strange man grabbing his young master’s arm, the boy was crying so hard that he thought the man was bullying the young master and shouted sharply: “Let go of my young master!”
The maid rushed over, pushed Jiang Shouzhong away, held the little boy in her arms, and glared at Jiang Shouzhong, "You are a grown man, why are you bullying a child? Do you have any shame!"
Jiang Shouzhong ignored her and turned to look at the lake, but was shocked to find that Zhao Wanchang and the boat were missing.
At this time, another group of people heard the sound and came over.
The person walking quickly at the front was a slender and luxuriously dressed young woman.
Wear gold and silver, and look graceful.
At first glance, they are the wives and concubines of a wealthy family.
Behind him is an older, wealthy middle-aged man with a round face, well-maintained skin, and eyes that reveal shrewdness and sophistication.
In addition to this couple, there is also a pair of men who look like masters and servants.
The man who is the owner is dressed in simple blue cloth, but his temperament is quite outstanding. The hair was simply tied on top of the head, with a few unruly strands flying in the wind, adding a bit of chicness and wildness.
Beside him is a young man who looks like a book boy, holding a long sword in his arms.
Obviously, the man in blue is a swordsman.
"Mother!"
Seeing the woman, the little boy threw himself into the woman's arms and cried loudly.
The woman held her son in her arms distressedly, with an ugly expression on her face, and looked at the maid with a gloomy look, asking aloud, "Myolie, what's wrong with the young master?"
Facing her mother When asked, the maid trembled with fright and turned pale. She quickly pointed at Jiang Shouzhong and said, "He is the one who bullied the young master! Just now he grabbed the young master's arm and refused to let go no matter how much the young master cried!"
< br>The woman stared at Jiang Shouzhong with cold eyes, "This young master, why do you bully my Cheng'er?"
Jiang Shouzhong failed to find any trace of Zhao Wanchang and felt helpless.
Faced with the maid’s false accusation and the woman’s questioning, he did not get angry and patiently explained: “Just now the child was playing with a black cat and almost fell into the lake. I was the one who caught him in time. "
"You fart!"
The maid retorted first.
As a servant, your duty is to take care of your young master.
If the owner of the house finds out that the young master almost fell into the water due to her negligence, he will have to shed his skin even if he returns home.
So at this time, the maid must not admit the words of the man in front of her.
She suppressed the fear in her heart and said with a ferocious face:
"I clearly saw with my own eyes that the cat accidentally disturbed you, so you took it out on the young master. The young master is so good. , why did you run to the lake?"
Jiang Shouzhong didn't bother to explain, and said calmly: "Just ask the children."
The rich middle-aged man frowned, looked down at his son, and asked, "Cheng'er, what's going on?"
Unexpectedly, the little boy with tears on his face looked at Jiang Shouzhong and cried: "It's Cheng'er who he bullied!"
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.
What a white-eyed wolf.
The little boy who was pampered since childhood in a wealthy family developed a selfish and willful character. He actually doesn't have that many crooked intestines, and he doesn't have a clear concept of life and death. It didn't matter whether the other person saved him or not, he only knew that this person pulled his arm and it hurt.
So he cried.
So this person bullied him.
As for what would happen if the other party didn't save him and fell into the lake, he couldn't think far. After all, he is standing here now.
Some people have a cold nature.
Some people are born ignorant of warmth and coldness.
The little boy's words undoubtedly gave Jiang Shouzhong a final verdict, and also made the maid secretly relieved.
Now the only proof is the cat.
It’s a pity that cats can’t talk.
The woman was so angry that her delicate body trembled, "Okay, okay, a grown man took it out on a child just because he was disturbed by a cat. You are so capable, why don't you dare to argue with us adults! My Chenger Jingui How can I be bullied by a bastard like you?”
With that said, he rushed forward and wanted to slap Jiang Shouzhong.
It can be seen that the family is also quite domineering.
Jiang Shouzhong raised his hand and grabbed the woman and threw her away. He said coldly: "I am too lazy to defend the truth. You think about it with your own butts. If you really think that I bully your son, just report it to the official!"
The woman stumbled and regained her balance, her face turning purple.
She turned her head and stared at the rich man with tears in her eyes, "Master, we are so insulted by outsiders, do you just watch like this!?"
Rich men are in a bit of trouble.
He instinctively felt that there might be a misunderstanding about this matter.
But now that my wife is making such a fuss, even if it is my fault, I can only protect my family.
It’s just that he doesn’t have a servant with him at the moment, so he can’t let him go up and fight as a master.
The reporter found it troublesome.
The rich man glanced at the elegant man in blue next to him.
Of course he is not qualified to use this famous swordsman who came from Famous Sword Villa. But since the other party has accepted his son as a disciple and the apprentice is being bullied, the master should also step forward.
The rich man said awkwardly, "Mr. Fang, look at this..."
The man in blue remained silent.
Out of his own heart, he believed Jiang Shouzhong's words more.
The saying "children can't lie" has always been a joke.
If it were normal, he would definitely treat it fairly.
But now he followed the instructions of the elders of the villa and accepted the boy as his disciple. Since he was already his master, he couldn't embarrass his disciple's family on the first day of his apprenticeship. He had to maintain his face to some extent.
Sighing secretly in his heart, the man in blue stepped forward to salute with a calm and calm expression, and asked Jiang Shouzhong in a gentle tone, "My name is Fang Ziheng of Jianshan Villa. I wonder who you are?"
Before you offend anyone, please do it first. Find out the details of each other.
Whether you are traveling in the world or working in official circles, this is essential common sense.
Jiang Shouzhong said calmly: "Liumen, my surname is Jiang."
A member of the government?
The man in blue couldn't help but frown.
However, he remembered the identity of the rich man next to him, and then smiled lightly, his tone still pleasant, "Since Mr. Jiang is a member of the government, he will not do such an overbearing behavior. There may be something in between. Misunderstanding.
I think so, why don't you all give me face and let Mr. Jiang apologize to his wife and young master. Everyone thinks that peace is the most important thing and this matter will be brought to an end. How about it? ”
The man in blue is still a thief.
Both parties do not want to offend.
The angry woman was about to speak, but saw her husband staring at her. He glanced at himself and could only bite his silver teeth without saying a word, staring at Jiang Shouzhong with a pair of sinister apricot eyes.
My son was going to become a disciple of Mingjian Villa, so he had to give him this face.
Seeing that the rich man and the woman were silent, the man in blue shirt nodded with satisfaction, looked at Jiang Shouzhong with gentle eyes, and kindly tried to persuade him: "Master Jiang, the road in the world is rough and there is no place to go. You must know how to take a step back. What do you think?"
"Well, you're right, you should apologize."
Jiang Shouzhong put a hand on his waist, gently pressed the handle of the firegun with his little finger, and said with a smile, "But I should It was the kid who apologized to me, right?"
The corners of the man's lips raised in blue suddenly froze.
