How could a woman in ancient times endure such humiliation? Mrs. Sai was so angry that she trembled all over. With her daughter present, she felt speechless. She was afraid that if the artificial pond outside the pavilion was a few centimeters deeper, she would have to jump into the river.
Xia Shang was also stunned on the spot. He was indeed not thoughtful enough. He knew that he had gone too far and awkwardly wanted to ease the situation.
Jiangnan on the side was very smart. He was afraid that his mother would be too angry and forcefully fire the teacher. He quickly jumped between the two and waited for Xia Shang angrily: "You are a good teacher! How dare you bully my mother? Are you afraid that there is no man in my family who can't deal with you? If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, don't blame me for whipping you!"
While speaking, Jiangnan winked at Xia Shang.
Xia Shang saw it and knew that it would not be easy to stay for long at this moment, so he turned around and walked out quickly.
Jiangnan shouted behind him: "Mother! Don't worry, your daughter will teach this bad teacher a lesson for you! Xiaocui, bring me my whip."
Just like that, Jiangnan took the whip and chased Xia Shang out of the house, but saw the teacher walking back on the street.
Jiangnan chased him: "Sir, please stay! Sir, please stay!"
Hearing Jiangnan's voice, Xia Shang remembered that he still had some important things to do today.
Looking back, Jiangnan was already in front of him.
"Sir, have you really spanked your mother?"
Jiangnan was panting, but his eyes were shining when he asked the question, and his face was full of expectation, as if he was a child discovering a new world.
Xia Shang thought that Jiangnan had come here in a hurry for something important, and he was choked when he heard this.
"You...you just want to ask this?"
"Sir, did you? When? How come the student didn't know?"
Xia Shang thought, what if you knew it? ! But the girl in front of him was looking at him, how should he answer?
Jiangnan is not a fool. Seeing the expression of the master, he has made up his mind.
This is definitely right!
Strangely enough, his mother was bullied by the master and took advantage of him. Jiangnan was not angry but happy. He thought that if the master and his mother could have a good relationship, wouldn't he have someone to rely on in the future?
When this thought came up, Jiangnan's pretty face turned red first, and the dark pillars hanging beside the two dimples were shining, just like apples washed in a clear spring.
Xia Shang did not answer. Jiangnan was getting more and more panicked, but also more and more expectant.
It's not good for the master and mother to have a falling out!
"Master! You bullied my mother, you have to apologize to my mother!"
Suddenly, Jiangnan put his hands on his waist and said to Xia Shang angrily.
Xia Shang was indeed in the wrong, but this might not be settled with an apology.
Women need to be coaxed.
Xia Shang thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
Pointing to the small teahouse opposite, he said, "Come, let's go sit down in the teahouse. I'll teach you a song. When you learn it, sing it to your mother. Your mother will no longer be angry with me."
"Is it that magical?"
Xia Shang did not answer and went to the teahouse first.
Although the teahouse was small, it had a spacious hall, a high doorplate, and a welcoming couplet on the side of the door, which read "Open-minded and delicious food to entertain pilgrims from all directions, and the wonders of the prosperous times gather wind from all directions."
As soon as I entered the building, I heard a storyteller on the second floor talking eloquently, talking about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who created the world, and the demons of the Nine Provinces that disturbed the world.
Those strange legends that had been passed down from who knows when made the tea drinkers in the room applaud.
The waiter came to greet them. He saw Xia Shang first, but then he saw the woman beside him shrink her neck in fear, and her voice trembled: "Sai Sai Sai... Miss Sai."
"Waiter Gui! You are full of gossip, right? Did this lady scare you?"
"No, no, no... no."
"Stop talking nonsense, and ask my husband to go to a quiet place without people. If you neglect the gentleman, be careful of this lady's whip."
The whole street is Miss Sai's territory. Whether it is the waiter of the store, the owner of the restaurant, or even the local hooligans around, they are afraid of this hot-tempered lady.
The waiter did not dare to say anything, and directly invited the two to the best seat on the second floor. He was trembling all the way, but he was also a little curious. He secretly glanced at Xia Shang, thinking how this flower-like young man became Miss Sai's husband?
Xia Shang ordered two sips of tea, and without any nonsense, he began to sing softly.
"You are a 30-year-old woman who has not yet married. When you smile, there are already a few wrinkles on your face beside your eyes..."
This is a singing style that Jiangnan has never heard before. It seems that it can't be called a singing style. It is just light, faint, and deep, with a unique husky voice of men, and there is an indescribable feeling.
However, the voices of the storyteller and the tea guests in the teahouse are really noisy, which makes Jiangnan unable to hear clearly, and also affects Xia Shang's singing.
"Sir, these unruly people are so noisy, it's annoying!"
Xia Shang frowned: "Forget it, forget it, who cares about what others say? Drink a cup of tea first, and wait until he finishes the book before learning."
Jiangnan held his breath and glared at the storyteller not far away, hoping that this guy would finish his job sooner.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, the storyteller finally finished his story, and he laid down on the gavel, shouting: "To know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter!"
"Good!"
"Good~"
Cheers rose from all sides, and someone shouted: "Another one!"
"Yes! Another one!"
The storyteller was already in his seventies, and seeing that many people were listening to the story today, he was also in high spirits. He picked up the gavel again, wiped the table with a handkerchief, straightened his posture and said:
"The most sad thing is the cool night, and the haggard dead are unbearable to speak. Inviting wine to make you drunk with three cups, looking for fragrance and awakening you from a dream at five o'clock in the morning.
The phoenix hairpin is slanted, and you have tears, but I have no chance to see the tea flower. The lonely new rain moon in the small building is hard to be like a hook or a round one."
"Pah!"
The gavel fell, and another good show began.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"What the hell!"
"Snap!"
Amid the cheers, a delicate shout suddenly came out, and there was another sound of whips snapping. A whip mark appeared on the storyteller's table, and the gavel was thrown down to the hall.
I don't know who did this, but it ruined everyone's mood. Someone stood up and shouted, "Who is making trouble here? Are you here to get beaten?"
"You short mule, say it again for me!"
The man was furious, and regardless of who it was, he rolled up his sleeves and looked back. He saw a girl who was so beautiful that the sun and the moon were eclipsed standing in the corridor on the second floor, staring with phoenix eyes, flashing with fire, and the key is that there was a whip in her hand!
"Miss Sai!"
The person who shouted earlier saw that it was Sai Jiangnan, his face turned pale in an instant, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Shorty mule, what are you doing?"
"I, I, I... I didn't know that Miss Sai was here, Miss Sai was so majestic, I..."
"Shut your dog mouth!"
The man shut up quickly when he heard it, and almost bit his tongue.
This caused a burst of laughter in the room.
"And you! Shut up! If anyone breathes again, I'll smash his mouth."
Who doesn't know Miss Sai's name?
She said not to make a sound, who dared to make a sound? Even if you fart, you have to keep it to yourself.
"The master is here today, I won't talk nonsense with you. In general, drink tea quietly and don't make any noise."
