Chapter 279: Intentional Picking
On the side of Ling'er's courtyard, the lotus stood at the gate of the courtyard, and saw Mrs. Jiang coming over with a large group of people from a distance. Lotus hurriedly ran in to report, and several maids were nervous:
"What to do, miss? Won't be seen by Madame, right? ”
"What is the weakness of your hearts? Everything is with me, just do your own thing, and don't talk nonsense. Go into the house and bring a few more chairs out. ”
A few people looked at Ling'er's calm face, their hearts were a little calmer, and they went into the house and moved a few chairs to line up in the courtyard.
Mrs. Jiang walked in quickly with a straight face, and saw Ling'er sitting aside drinking tea, she took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger, strode to the upper seat and sat down by herself, and then stared at Ling'er's face:
"Xiaobai, I heard that you are not satisfied with these fabrics? also said that I deliberately embarrassed you, but you can tell me, I broke my heart for your family, how did I make you ugly? ”
Ling'er made an innocent statement: "No, when did I say it?" Who made up such a big rebellious statement? ”
The tailor lady opened her mouth wide and pointed at Ling'er: "You...... Oh, miss, didn't you say it yourself? A businessman in the slave family, what do you do for no reason? Don't you wronged the slaves! ”
Ling'er blinked and thought for a while: "It seems... There is such a thing, but I will say casually, madam, don't take it to heart. ”
Mrs. Jiang was angry, looking at her indifferent look, she really wanted to slap her twice. Mrs. Jiang endured and endured, beckoning: "Bring all the fabrics, I'll choose." ”
The tailor's lady hurriedly held the cloth booklet in front of Mrs. Jiang, who flipped through it casually. Pointing to the satin appearance of a pink azalea: "This is good, make a set!" ”
Ling'er glanced at it, and said without yin or yang: "Pink has always been used for women or concubines who have not left the pavilion. As a young lady of the Jiang family, I want the media to marry, not to be a concubine, and not to be a steproom that cannot be put on the stage, why should I use that color? ”
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her hands trembled: "Who do you say can't be on the stage?" ”
Ling'er lowered her head and fiddled with the teacup: "No one said, some people don't put it on themselves." ”
Madame Jiang's face was pale, and her knuckles turned white when she clenched into fists. The tailor lady looked left and right, and was terrified, what happened to the mother and daughter? How like two fighting cocks. Alas, this errand is ......
The tailor quickly turned two pages and found a few bright red fabrics: "Madam, look at this. It's all red. The most joyful, and the appearance is good-looking, is this a good set? ”
Madame Jiang waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, it's all red." ”
Over there, Ling'er said again: "What are you doing so much red?" I'm not a singer! ”
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she stroked her chest, there were so many people present, and she was not good at attacking, so she had to patiently choose other colors and patterns for her, and pick and choose. After picking two quarters of an hour and reading five booklets, I finally picked out four sets of looks.
Ling'er has been keeping an eye on the gate of the courtyard. Waiting for the osmanthus to come to report the news, two quarters of an hour have passed, why haven't you come? Could it be that something is wrong? Ling'er couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking in her heart whether she should continue to drag Mrs. Jiang or send someone over to take a look?
Mrs. Jiang had long been impatient, so she pushed open the booklet and stood up: "Okay, that's it, four sets are enough."
Xiaobai, let's make it clear today, it's not that I, the mother, treat you badly, it's that you don't look down on yourself, and the rest will wait for you to make your own decisions after you get married, how you want to choose, how you want to do and how to do it, I can't control you, that's all, let's go! ”
"Madam, it's rare for you to come to my yard, and seeing that I'm about to leave the pavilion, are you reluctant to sit for a while?"
Mrs. Jiang paused, staring at her for a while, yes, why is this girl so strange today? Baba's troubles called me over, and it took two or three quarters of an hour to toss and turn, what the hell is she thinking? ”
Mrs. Jiang was suspicious, but she couldn't think of an answer, the more Ling'er wanted to keep her, the more she wanted to leave, and she didn't pay attention to what Ling'er said, and walked straight to the courtyard gate: "Mrs. Ben has a lot of things, if you want to chat, you come to my courtyard." ”
Seeing Mrs. Jiang walking away, Lotus whispered, "Miss, what should I do?" There is no news from Osmanthus yet. ”
Ling'er was also a little nervous, it was almost three quarters of an hour, even if it was enough to run around Jiang's Mansion with the box, if he couldn't succeed for so long, he could only say that he was entrusted to no one, so let it be fate!
After a while, the lotus suddenly jumped up in surprise: "It's coming!" ”
Two figures flashed in at the gate of the courtyard, and Osmanthus and Pear Blossom sat on the ground at once when they entered the courtyard gate, both of them looking frightened.
Lotus hurriedly said: "What? Did you get it? Something? Did you get anything? ”
The two of them will definitely succeed if they can come over together, but it seems that it should not be easy. The two rested for a while, Osmanthus got up, sat down beside Ling'er, and took out a stack of papers from his sleeve: "Miss, everything you want is here!" ”
Ling'er took it and opened it to see that the four lotus people, as well as the osmanthus and pear blossoms, were all in the deed of sale.
Ling'er said: "The fake deed of sale was put in, right?" ”
"Let it go!"
"Is there anything else to move?"
Osmanthus and Pear Blossom glanced at each other, and Osmanthus looked flickering: "No...... No! ”
Ling'er frowned, and took out the deed of sale of osmanthus alone: "If you don't tell the truth, I won't give you a slave status." ”
Osmanthus turned white: "No, miss, I worked hard to get it." ”
"Something else? Hand it over. ”
Osmanthus was unwilling, and took out the things after a while, Ling'er flipped through it, in addition to a thousand taels of silver tickets, there was also a deed of sale of Brother Pear Blossom, but this is not a death deed, it is a living deed that has only been signed for ten years, and there is also a courtyard deed.
"What's going on with this deed?"
Osmanthus looked at the pear blossom and shrugged: "You asked her, she took it." ”
Rika lowered her head and whispered, "Miss, what ...... It was the courtyard where my father and mother lived, not far to the southeast of the house. ”
Ling'er remembered the old lady she met when she arrested Li Liang that day, could this be the deed of that yard? How is it in the hands of Madame Chiang? Or is it Mrs. Jiang's property, just for Li Liang's family to live temporarily?
Ling'er raised her eyes and looked at Pear Blossom: "You also took this silver ticket?" ”
Pear Blossom lowered her head and didn't speak, and Osmanthus laughed twice to help speak: "Miss, don't blame her, the wooden box not only has a secret grid, but also a secret lock, and the slave family can't open it, or Pear Blossom helps to open it." ”
Pear Blossom knelt down and lay at Ling'er's feet: "Miss, the slave doesn't dare to hide it from you, the slave brother was kidnapped by the thieves a few days ago, and they asked for a thousand taels of silver to ransom the person, and the slave and the maid had to help the young lady do things."
But after rescuing my brother, the slave family still has my father and mother and younger siblings to live, if we escape, the Jiang family will send someone to chase our family, if we don't have a silver pair, there is only a dead end, so ...... That's why the slave is ......" (to be continued......
