Chapter 35: Ambush
I got up in the morning to look for the red leaves, but the room was locked, and I asked someone, only to know that the red leaves were ordered by the Nine Princes and went to the Nine Lords' Mansion. This red leaf was later said to be the first ten-in-eight knockout match in the finals of the "Super Oiran" competition, but she was not nervous at all, and she still went with her ninth master, and it was not easy to practice her tunes.
I came back bored, I wanted to practice the guitar for a while, and suddenly remembered that the guitar fell in the garden of the General's Mansion, and I wanted to ask Xiaohong to get it, but I thought about it and gave up, anyway, I won't lose it in the General's Mansion, and I won't need that thing in the Red Mansion in the future, it's all used in the General's Mansion, and it's good to leave it there, so that the little wild cat in the General's Mansion thinks I'm okay and always finds an excuse to run there, in order to seduce her second uncle.
When I was bored, Mrs. Jin came, and brought me a sample of the cloth doll I painted for her last time, I looked at these five cute and cute cartoon pigs with different shapes, and praised them repeatedly: "Mrs. Jin, your master of Jinxiuzhuang is really ingenious, dare me to paint anything." ”
Aunt Jin said very proudly: "Then there is no need to say, don't be afraid to say a big word, as long as the girl can draw it, there is nothing that I can't do in Jinxiuzhuang." ”
I nodded and said with a smile: "So, I really want to get more things for my aunt to try, and my aunt thinks that this cloth doll has a market in the capital?" ”
Aunt Jin smiled: "I was about to tell the girl about this, when this product was just made, my two children liked it so much, they refused to let go, if I didn't agree to the girl to send it, I was afraid that they would be soft-hearted to them." This doll, the young masters and ladies in the capital will definitely like it, the girl may wish to draw more and let us do it, I really didn't expect that such an ugly piglet, the girl can be so funny. ”
I smiled: "Yours are indispensable for tricks, Aunt Jin, I signed a contract with you, so naturally I want to make more money." To make the materials of these dolls, the lady may wish to change a few more, the fabric can sometimes be replaced with animal skin, the effect will be different, the price is of course more expensive, this kind of doll is sold to the children of those wealthy families, done well, the female dependents will also like it. ”
Aunt Jin's eyes lit up: "The girl mentioned it, I'll give it a try when I go back, if the girl thinks there is nothing wrong with this cloth doll, then we will go back and produce it in large quantities." ”
I smiled and said, "Auntie's sample is so good, I naturally don't have any problems." I still have some things here, and I want to ask my aunt to help me take them back and make them. ”
"Did the girl draw a new trick?" Aunt Jin looked at me at the moment like seeing the God of Wealth, I smiled and gave her the drawings I had drawn in my free time, and said with a smile: "It's not a new trick, it's just something I need." ”
"Oh?" Aunt Jin took it curiously, looked at it, her face changed slightly, she raised her eyes to look at me, and said with a forced smile: "Girl, this is ......"
"Well, I need some simple clothes." I couldn't help laughing, I just drew some T-shirts, trousers, windbreakers, shirts, home clothes artwork, plus a big backpack style, these things I have long wanted to get, especially backpacks, I saw on TV that the ancients were packed, how troublesome and inconvenient, even if you sew a cloth bag casually, it is more convenient and practical than taking a piece of cloth to pack a bag, I really don't know what these ancients thought.
"The way the girl looks at these clothes is really weird." Aunt Jin smiled reluctantly, "Can these really be worn?" ”
"Anyway, I'm wearing it, and my aunt just does it." I am now very confident in the craftsmanship of Jinxiuzhuang, seeing that Aunt Jin looked frightened, and smiled secretly Fortunately, the summer is over, and I haven't drawn some vest suspenders to scare you. I am really annoyed by this ancient robe and skirt, I think of when I was a child, I used to play the family wine with a group of children, and often used the bed sheets at home to wrap the quilt on my body, pretending to be a lady and pretending to be a maid, and I was so envious of those skirts that looked so beautiful. Who knows that wearing this all day now is not the same thing as imagined, wide robe with large sleeves, rubbing dirty if you don't pay attention to it, and you are still tied, it looks good, but it is troublesome to death.
"The girl doesn't know where these strange ideas come from." In the end, it was a merchant who had seen the wind and waves, and Aunt Jin quickly returned to normal, looking at my drawings, pointing to the buttons I had separately marked, and her eyes lit up: "Girl, this button is ......"
"The material is chosen by the lady." I smiled, knowing that she was interested in this, there is no such thing as a button in this era, and Mrs. Jin is also a businessman with a keen sense of smell, "Wood, stone, gold and silver can be used as materials for this kind of button, and the style can also be ever-changing, this buckle is more convenient than cloth buckles, and the lady can promote it if she wants to, anyway, according to the contract, I will pay my account." ”
Aunt Jin smiled very flatteringly: "Look at what the girl said, if we are not trustworthy in business, this business will not be able to continue, and the girl's silver is indispensable, so I will go back and give the girl Zhang Luo." ”
She left happily, I called Xiaohong, took two small cloth pigs and stuffed them into her hands: "I said that I will give you two samples when they come out, and take them to play." ”
"Thank you, girl." Xiaohong was so excited that her face was red, just now when I was talking to Aunt Jin, I saw that her eyes secretly glanced at the piglet a few times, it seems that it is really as I expected, women and children in ancient and modern China and abroad, can not escape the huge lethality of cartoon dolls.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, as if someone was shouting my name, I opened the door and went out, stood in the cloister and looked down, and saw that the hall on the ground floor was in chaos, and a little boy in a brocade robe looked around and shouted: "I want to see Miss Carmen, call her out!" Several turtle slaves tried to stop him, but they were kicked away by the two big men behind him, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a while.
I laughed out loud, this girl is really daring, she actually ran to the Qinglou to spread the wilderness. But seeing Yueniang rushing out in a hurry, she smiled and said, "This little boy, I don't know what our Carmen girl has offended Childe about, making Childe so angry?" ”
Yueniang has good eyes, and she can see that the momentum of the silence and peace in the brocade clothes is not an ordinary person, so she only laughs. The doors of the girls' rooms were opened, and they secretly probed their brains one by one. But when he saw that he was quiet, he twisted his face and said arrogantly: "She didn't offend me, I came to help her redeem herself." ”
Yueniang was stunned, and the girls also began to whisper, Yueniang smiled and said sleekly: "Childe said that it was funny, Miss Carmen lived in our Red Mansion and did not sell herself to us." ”
She would have said. Knowing that I don't dare to leave now, I naturally don't tie me up with a deed of sale for some kind of Laoshzi, and I can also block the mouths of those who want to help me redeem myself. I sneered, I want to see what other flowers you can make up from Yueniang.
Silence was really stunned: "You said she didn't sell herself to you?" ”
Yueniang smiled: "Yes, Childe, Miss Carmen is just listing in our Red Mansion, she can leave at any time if she wants to, but Childe misunderstood us in the Red Mansion." ”
Silence said angrily: "So, is she willing to fall and voluntarily stay here? I lost ...... back."
"Moon Mom." I interrupted the silence, and all the people on the ground floor looked up, and I smiled, "Please come into my room and talk." ”
Yueniang hesitated for a moment: "However, the girl was chartered by General Lone, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to let other men in." ”
Inconvenience? Then you still don't allow Chu Yan to come in and out? I sneered, "Don't worry, Mother Yue, this little boy is from General Lone's Mansion. ”
Yueniang didn't want to say anything, and when she heard that it was someone from General Lone's mansion, it was even more difficult to offend, so she had to bow down and say to Lonely: "Childe, please." ”
Silence has been glaring at me since just now, I really don't know where to offend her, I smiled, turned around and went into the room, curled up on the chair in front of the window, and asked Xiaohong to prepare tea. After a while, Silent Ping was angry and rushed in, staring at me in the room, and I looked at her with a smile: "Sit down." ”
"I'm not going to sit on your filthy stool." Lonely Ping'an said angrily. Xiao Ping came in with hot tea, and when he heard her words, he frowned, put the tea on the low table of the chair, and retreated lightly.
"There's no clean place in this green building? If the prince of peace dislikes it, he shouldn't come. I sneered, I saw Xiaohong's expression just now, knowing that she was hurt by Lonely Ping'an's words, and I was also a little angry with Lonely Ping'an, "Here, even if you stand and don't sit, that foot is dirty." ”
Silence Ping'an's face turned red and white when I said it, and he rushed over angrily, sat down on the chair next to me, gritted his teeth and looked at me, "How did you recognize me?" ”
I was drinking tea, and when I heard her words, I couldn't help but burst out with a burst of laughter, put the tea cup aside, and laughed breathlessly: "Miss Lonely, are you still very successful in dressing up as a man?" In addition to changing into men's clothes, where do you look like a man in every move of your body? That voice will not be hidden, people who don't know you may be blinded by you, I have seen you once, and I can naturally see through it. ”
"It's a bit of a look." Silent Ping'an snorted, although his mouth was soft, he continued to put on a calm face.
I knew her surname, and I didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin disdains to have a relationship with a woman like me in the Qinglou, how can she still be condescending and go to the Qinglou to make trouble." ”
This lonely family's baby egg is really bold and reckless, and he doesn't care about his reputation, and he comes to this place as soon as he wants. Lonely Ping'an snorted and said: "My second uncle said that you saved me yesterday, I don't like to be favored by others the most, you saved me, I will help you redeem yourself, and we will not owe each other in the future, I don't have to owe you favors." ”
Hehe, this lonely lady is really cute. I smiled and said, "So, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss Lonely, didn't you hear what Mother Yue said just now?" I just hung a sign in the Red Mansion and didn't sell myself to her. ”
"I heard it, and I was even more angry when I heard it!" Silent Ping'an stood up suddenly, glared at me, and said, "You are obviously free, why do you want to stay in a place like the Red Mansion?" It's really self-depraved and shameless, I really don't understand how my second uncle and Uncle Yu ...... like a woman like you. ”
I laughed self-deprecatingly, she thought that her second uncle had taken care of me, and she saw me and Yu Gongzi ** in the garden, I am afraid that the evil feeling towards me in my heart is even worse, and she thinks that I am a lowly woman in the twilight.
"Miss Lone, not all people are as good as you, and there is a high-ranking second uncle who provides you with food and clothing." I picked up the teacup and said lightly, "Most of the helpless ordinary people like me have to earn their own money to make ends meet, and the life of ordinary people is not as easy as you think." ”
"The capital is so big, you can find a better job." Silent sat down angrily and retorted disappreciatively, "I see that you have also studied for two days, you don't have to stay in the Yihong Mansion to laugh to live, it's really a shame for a woman." ”
"What's wrong with the joke?" I took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and chuckled: "I don't steal or rob, what's there to be ashamed of." To put it bluntly, which person in this world is not buying and selling? Merchants sell goods to make money, scholars sell their knowledge to make a future, farmers and commoners sell their labor to support their families, why can't we Qinglou women sell their lust to beg for a living? In the final analysis, there is still a buy to sell, there is a market, there are goods, without those men coming up like dogs, the Qinglou industry has long been closed, and it can be opened more and more, and the dynasties have been repeatedly banned? Miss Lonely doesn't look for reasons from those who buy them, but looks down on those who sell them, which is really a joke. "The implication is that your second uncle took me over, not my problem, but your second uncle's problem, and you won't have to trouble me in the future.
"You're ......! Crooked! Sling the bull! Silence was overwhelmed by my subversive remarks, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, his face turned red, he glared at me through gritted teeth, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
I see that she is angry like this, a little soft-hearted, although this little girl is rude, her heart and eyes are not bad, at least she knows that she has to repay favors. Besides, her concepts are also deeply rooted in the people of this era, and she has received such an education since she was a child, so why can't I get along with a little girl.
"But Miss Lonely's love today, Carmen accepted it." I smiled and looked at her sincerely, "You don't have to keep thinking about me saving you, I was just a gesture yesterday, and it's not worth Miss Lone's trouble." ”
"I ......" I was silent for a long time, but she still didn't speak, this little girl is really awkward. I rolled my eyes and saw the three piglets resting on the round table, and said with a smile: "Miss Lonely has bothered me so much, and Carmen has also sent a few small toys to the girl, so I should thank the girl for this trip." ”
"Who wants your things, we don't have anything in the General's Mansion ......" Silent Ping'an snorted disdainfully, seeing the three little cloth pigs I held in front of her, she suddenly closed her voice, and a trace of joy appeared in her eyes.
"Oh, Miss Lonely doesn't like it, so forget it......" I made a gesture to take the pig back, but Lonely Ping An snatched it over, and said hurriedly, "Hey......, since you have a heart, well, ......, you play, I will take ......"
I obviously like it very much on her face, but she has to lift the shelf when she speaks, she is really a little brat, I watched her hold three little cloth pigs and couldn't put it down, and couldn't help laughing. Lonely Ping'an blushed, his hands were short, and he spoke to me politely: "You did this?" I've never seen such a little puppet in the capital. ”
"I drew a pattern and asked Aunt Jin of Jinxiuzhuang to do it." I smiled and said, "After a while, there should be something for sale in Zimianxiuzhuang, if Miss Lin likes it, you can go to Jinxiuzhuang to order." ”
"Since you have such a skill, why bother ......" Silence snorted for a moment, and stopped his mouth, thinking that he knew that he had turned the topic back again. I laughed, and I wasn't an unconscious master. She paused, and finally said: "No matter how much my second uncle likes you, it is impossible for him to marry you into the family, you ......"
This tone does not seem to be contemptuous. I smiled and said cautiously, "Miss Lonely, don't worry, I never thought of marrying into the General's Mansion. ”
"That's not what I meant...... "Silent Ping'an's face turned red, he thought about it, and whispered: "After the third day, I will be born, you ......, you can come if you are fine......
Belch? So you're turning enemies into friends with me? Wow, the power of these three little dolls is really infinite, and they ambushed such an arrogant little wild cat at once. I laughed, stood up awkwardly, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at, if you don't come, forget it." I shook my head, this awkward child, I saw her open the door, and said with a smile: "I will definitely go to celebrate Miss Lone's birthday." ”
She turned her head to look at me, and saw that my eyes were full of sincerity, the corners of her lips were grinning, and she walked away with a smile in her arms.
