"The young lady who eloped with Beta Persei has eloped with someone else again!"
It was impossible to determine who the source of this explosive news was. Probably not long after noon, the news began to spread in the Xiuwen Workshop. By evening, everyone in the Xiuwen Workshop knew about it.
Every broadcaster used their imagination to the fullest, further processing and embellishing the story, thus making it sound more pleasant, more touching, more gossipy, and more reasonable. In the end, it was so perfect that even if Yang Fan himself stood up and shouted, "My young lady didn't elope with someone else!", no one would believe him.
After being collectively recreated by the masses, the current mainstream version of the story went like this:
The merchant girl who eloped with Beta Persei was 16 years old. She had snow-white skin and was incomparably beautiful. Unfortunately, she was fickle and fickle.
When she eloped with Beta Persei, it was only because of a moment of confusion. Although Beta Persei was handsome, his family was very poor. That rich girl usually lived in luxury and had many servants. How could her delicate and timid body, accustomed to living like a princess, endure such a poor life?
As a result, while Beta Persei was working in the workshop, the merchant girl was bewitched by a peddler who walked the streets. In the end, she packed up and eloped with the peddler.
Why didn't Beta Persei's family have a meal these few days? It was because the merchant girl had run away with someone else.
Why didn't Beta Persei return home these few days? During the day, there weren't many people in the workshop who could see him. That was because he had gone out to find a wife.
After Xiao Qianyue lost his wife, he didn't dare to tell his neighbors about it. He was also very careful when looking for a wife, afraid that it would cause rumors and make a joke of himself. But now, he puffed out his chest and openly looked for the wife he had picked up.
Even if the sky collapsed, there would be someone taller to hold it up. He, Xiao Lang, was a lost woman. Beta Persei was a woman who ran away with someone else. This was a fundamental difference. What was there for him to be ashamed of? Sure enough, when he publicized this matter, it did not cause any criticism. Everyone's attention was attracted by the elopement of Yang Fan's wife.
"Poor Beta Persei is infatuated, but he just had to encounter such a greedy and fickle woman. I don't know if he can overcome this obstacle of love. If he takes it too hard, who knows what he will do. How sinful! "
The kind-hearted aunts and aunts gathered together, and as they spoke, they could not help but pull up their sleeves to wipe the corners of their eyes, and shed tears of sympathy for him. Yang Fan's good relations with others were fully displayed at this moment.
"Stop! Stop! Beta Persei is coming! Don't let him hear you! "
"Ah, Auntie Liu, come with me to Nan City at noon tomorrow."
"I say, Qiao Si's family, does Censor Liu's family still hire kitchen maids?"
The aunts quickly changed the topic. When Yang Fan walked over, they gathered together again and whispered.
Yang Fan felt very strange. Along the way, all the people he met had strange expressions on their faces. He felt that the people who gathered together to whisper must be talking about something related to him. But whenever he walked over and pricked up his ears, he would always hear things that had nothing to do with him.
"Maqiao, you idiot! Where the hell did you go!"
Yang Fan began to get angry.
"Maqiao! Come over here! "
In the alley where Pasta's house was, Yang Fan finally saw Maqiao. Yang Fan immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to greet him. He grabbed his collar and said through gritted teeth, "Maqiao, what did you say about me outside?"
Maqiao's expression changed, "Xiao Fan, you have wronged me. How can I tell others about this? What kind of relationship do we have? Although we don't share the same mother, we are still good brothers who wear the same pants. How can I gossip about you outside? What kind of person do you think I, Maqiao, am? Do you think it's nice for you to embarrass me? "
Yang Fan loosened his grip in a daze and asked, "Slow down, slow down. Tell me first, what is it about me?"
Ma Qiao forced a smile and said, "Lil 'Fan, we're brothers in this world. Why did you hide it from me? To be honest, when I first heard about it, I didn't believe it either. Every time I saw you, you were intimate. How could she be so heartless and leave just like that? But I just went to your house and she really wasn't there. Only then did I know that it was true. Xiao Fan, for a man to have this kind of thing happen, he really can't hold his head high. But you can't hide it. In my opinion, don't take it to heart. It's good for this kind of woman to leave! If she really stays, sooner or later she will do something wrong to you. I just went to discuss it with Xiao Ning … "
Yang Fan gradually understood. His expression became a little strange, "Brother Qiao, are you talking about … Ah Nu?"
"Yes!"
"The people in the workshop … think she ran away?"
"Yes!"
"…"
"Xiao Fan, don't be sad. I don't feel good seeing you like this. I just discussed it with Xiao Ning. She has a cousin who has just turned twelve this year. You see, you are only seventeen. If you want to get married, you have to wait another three years. At that time, she will be fifteen and you will be twenty.
"…"
"Auntie Liu said that she will bring the girl here another day and let you two meet first. If you think she is suitable, and the girl's family agrees, you will be married first. If not, it's okay. The aunties in the workshop said that as long as they see a suitable girl, they will definitely bring her to you for a blind date. "
"…"
"Xiao Fan, don't think about her. If she left you and ran away, then she is unlucky. A man like you is hard to find. She has eyes but can't see … "
Yang Fan took a deep breath and asked word by word, "Who told you that Ah Nu ran away with someone?"
Ma Fan looked surprised, "She didn't run away? Is she still at home? What kind of nonsense is this? These people are really gossiping! This is great. I will go and talk to them for you right now. Tell them not to ruin your wife's reputation! "
Yang Fan suddenly lowered his head and his shoulders shook violently.
Maqiao hurriedly asked, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"
Yang Fan lowered his head and endured for a long time before he could resist the urge to burst out laughing. His eyes were filled with tears.
He slowly raised his head and said with tears in his eyes, "You are right. Ah Nu … really left …"
Ma Qiao looked at him, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged him tightly in his embrace. He said emotionally, "Brother! I know you are suffering. If you want to cry, then cry it out! If you cry it out, then your heart won't feel bad! We are men who value friendship. It is not shameful to cry! "
Yang Fan … didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But he really didn't know how to explain it. Tin Aino's sudden appearance had been taken as an elopement girl by the neighbors, and this reason was the most easily accepted and believed by the common people. Now, Tin Aino's departure could also be explained as an elopement, which would save a lot of trouble.
So, Yang Fan "admitted" to this matter.
In this way, Yang Fan became the number one tragic man in the Xiu Wen Workshop. He had to cooperate with everyone, didn't he? Besides, if he acted as if nothing had happened, it would also arouse suspicion.
So, this tragic man changed into black clothes every night and snuck into the Ministry of War to search for the list of Dragon Martial Army generals who had been responsible for escorting the dethroned Crown Prince Li Xian to Bazhou. During the day, he would walk the streets and alleys, putting on a gloomy and bitter face and accepting people's kind words of comfort.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, everyone gave in and coaxed him. Even Su Fangzheng and Marquis Wu's Bad Luck, who had always spoken in a rough and loud voice, would speak softly when ordering him to do things.
They spread rumors out of curiosity, but this didn't prevent them from expressing their goodwill to Yang Fan. Yang Fan was also happy to use this reason to explain Tin Aino's sudden appearance and departure. The only thing that troubled him was that he had been going on more blind dates recently.
In order to avoid these senseless harassment, Yang Fan could only use the excuse that Ah Nu had just left him and was in a bad mood as an excuse to decline them one by one. He declined the good intentions of the aunties and aunties in the workshop.
As a result, the tragic man was once again upgraded to the infatuated man. The coquettish eyes that had been thrown at him in the past were now full of tenderness, as if he only needed to crook his little finger, and the female Bodhisattvas would give him their bodies and tenderness to soothe his wounded heart.
This kind of look was even more frightening than the coquettish eyes. So much so that when Yang Fan walked through the alleys with his whistle stick, cleaned the canals, patrolled the alleys, and maintained public order, he would lower his head and leave in a hurry whenever he saw someone, unwilling to converse with them. Naturally, this was interpreted by people as "the wound of love is hard to heal, and he is sad."
The infatuated man had transformed into the Saint of Love.
The kind and gossipy people of the Xiuwen Workshop were wishfully and tirelessly molding the Saint of Love in their hearts step by step.
However, as the saying goes, "The flower planted intentionally does not grow, but the willow planted unintentionally grows." Yang Fan had never thought that because of this blunder, he would find a clue to the whereabouts of his enemy that he had been searching for so long!
