Chapter Eighty-Four: Unhappy Breakup
Yipinju in Pingyi County is a famous restaurant in the whole country, if it is placed in modern times, it is seven stars, of course, there is no star standard in that era, just an analogy. Eating a meal here is not just for the sake of food, but more of a status symbol, here is a place where the rich are willful, and the common people who will go bankrupt for the sake of eating a meal?
Min'er and Ling'er didn't wear gorgeous dresses, but they weren't afraid of shabby, plus their outstanding appearance and the charm that they had been trained by the Liu family for many years. No one believed that they were from a farming family, not to mention the county or the women of the family in the capital. Of course, the two sisters don't know about this, if they know, they will definitely be more confident, and they will not be as calm and worried as they are now.
When they appeared in the water rhyme room, Ding, who was sitting on the upper seat, was shocked, and at the same time, it also confirmed the guess in her heart. When the two sisters saw that no one spoke, they knew that they wanted them to make a mess, and according to the etiquette, they should have waited for the other party to speak first. At this time, Min'er didn't want to be so "sensible", the other party was obviously looking for Zhu'er, why did she have to endure it? To put it mildly, what does she have to do with them?
"The little girl comes from the countryside and doesn't understand the hospitality of the people in the city, I don't know what this means?" Min'er challenged the other party again with a sweet and soft voice.
"What are you to dare to question our wife?" As soon as Min'er's words fell, a woman in her forties standing beside Ding Shi opened her mouth and shouted.
"Sister, the people in this city are different from us, invite people to sit unceremoniously, and now people can drink at will and don't take the master in their eyes at all." Ling'er had an innocent expression, but the words that came out of her mouth could make people angry, especially when the woman's face suddenly became eggplant-colored.
"Mother Liu, I told you when I was at home, don't always rely on me to spoil you and be disrespectful, remember to receive the punishment when you go back." Ding's voice is not high, but it makes people feel a sense of awe, Min'er and Ling'er didn't speak when they saw her like this, just stood there quietly, neither humble nor arrogant, and their expressions were natural. Such a bearing made Ding's heart sink, and she wanted to give them a dismount, but it turned out to be humiliating, which made her more determined to make her decision.
"It's really rude, little peach sitting." The red-clothed girl standing on the other side of Ding's answered the call to ask for a seat for Min'er and Ling'er, but Min'er and Ling'er didn't embarrass her. Seeing their sitting posture, Ding's heart was full of questions, weren't these two sisters from a peasant family? How can you have such a bearing? Even those few of their own children who have asked Mama Xi to train young ladies have not reached such a level, it seems that they are really scheming, no wonder An'er is so obsessed.
"I'm the Ding family of Pingyi Yi, and it's a bit presumptuous to invite the two of you here today." Because of her background, Ding can only be the aunt's wife who can't be on the stage, so she calls herself Ding outside.
"Our sister is dull, I don't know why my wife invited me here?" Min'er has been paying close attention to the news of the Yi family for many years, so she knows a little bit about the Ding family.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that you want to get to know each other." Ding looked amiable and seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened.
"Oh? It seems that my wife has misunderstood, I am just an ordinary peasant girl and there is nothing special about it, it seems that my wife is going to waste money today. Min'er smiled, as long as someone with ears could hear her and put Ding in his eyes.
"Maybe there will be some gains, not necessarily, these dishes are the signature dishes of this Pinju, I don't think you can come to Hongsongtun, don't be polite, two girls." Ding's words were clearly a form of contempt.
"Sister, is it the high-priced dishes that rich people use to fill the façade? Can I taste it? Ling'er didn't believe it, she couldn't be angry with the old woman opposite.
"Eat, this is the legendary high-priced dish that costs a few pennies but sells for dozens of taels." Min'er lovingly stroked Ling'er's head.
"Sister, the people in this city are so stupid, let the family be pitted and proudly spread everywhere, I don't dare to eat it, it would be bad if I became a fool like them." Ling'er put down the chopsticks in her hand and behaved like a good baby, Min'er almost didn't laugh out loud when she saw this, but fortunately she couldn't hold back. That Mother Liu was just about to open her mouth but was stopped by Ding, and she vomited so much that she couldn't do it, but she couldn't have a seizure.
"Don't talk nonsense, girl, you'll be laughed at." Ding's look like his own parents persuaded him, how Ling'er looks like a wolf grandmother.
"I won't say it, what does it matter to me if others are stupid or not?" Ling'er pretended to be angry, she hadn't planned to eat any of the dishes here.
"Ling'er, why do you talk like this? Didn't my sister tell you? Be polite outside, and don't be looked down upon by the dog's eyes. Min'er's words really provoked Ding's family, she was so angry that she gasped, Min'er waited for her to lose her temper when she saw this, but she calmed down after seeing her drink a cup of tea, which made the sisters admire in their hearts.
"Miss Min, I originally wanted to get along with you, but An'er likes it, and it is okay to carry it into the house as Aunt Fang's wife in the future. Who knew that you didn't know how to be polite, and my Yi family would never tolerate it. Ling'er listened to her words and was about to speak, but was stopped by Min'er, only to see Min'er chuckle and say:
"Mrs. Aunt? I, Zhao Min'er, swear here that I would rather be single for the rest of my life than be a lowly aunt's wife. After speaking, before everyone could react, she stood up and shouted:
"I don't know you, you actually ruined my reputation, it's really ill-intentioned, not to mention my aunt's wife, I don't care about marrying the Yi family." After finishing speaking, he pulled Ling'er who saw her stand up and followed Ling'er, who got up, and walked away, completely ignoring the stunned women in this room.
It wasn't until I walked to the first floor that I heard the sound of the table being lifted upstairs and the roar of the old lady, in fact, the Ding family was not old, only in their forties, Min'er and Ling'er looked at each other and smiled, got into the carriage and went back to the shop.
"Mrs. Angry, aren't you angry with that dead girl?" Mother Liu comforted the angry Ding, but the others on the side did not say anything, everyone knew that this Ding was the most likely to be angry when he was angry.
"Zhao Min'er? Hmph, I thought that An'er would mention an aunt or something since she liked it, but who knew that she was so ignorant of lifting, she really killed herself and went home. "Ding is a very strong woman, few people dare not put her in their eyes in recent years, and today the young ladies of the Zhao family can be regarded as pulling out her reverse scales.
Let's not talk about Ding's plan after going back, let's first talk about the two sisters of the Zhao family first went to the shop to see the progress of the renovation, and then returned to the room in the backyard.
"Sister, now that there is no one else, you can say anything in your heart, don't be bored in your heart, you will get sick." When I went to the banquet today, only the two sisters went, and they didn't bring a girl.
"What can I say? Are you just worrying about it, and the things in the shop are not enough for you to be busy? Min'er's forced smile Ling'er couldn't see it, but she didn't want to admit it.
"Sister, you can't trust me?" Ling'er is not the kind of person who is difficult for strong people, but she doesn't want Min'er to get into the horns, so she must let her vent today.
"Hey, you're getting annoying kid." Min'er was just about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Ling'er with her arms outstretched.
"Sister, if you don't say it today, then I won't tell you anything in the future, even if I am bullied, I won't say a word." Ling'er's firm eyes shocked Min'er's heart, although Ling'er's tone was very ordinary, but she knew that this younger sister had been a person who did what she said since she was a child.
"Hey, if you want to know anything, just ask." Min'er, who didn't want to be separated from her sister, had to compromise.
"What the hell is going on with Sister and Yi Junan?" Ling'er asked.
"There was nothing between us, and for two nights in the mountains he tied me to a tree, and he slept under it. It's just that I think he seems to be a little different from me, and I didn't think much about it when I was young, and then he misunderstood me and my cousin, and that's when I learned about him...... Then he came to me once and told me something about his background, and I made it clear at that time...... So he never looked for me again, and even the village workshop was handed over to the people below......" Min'er's tone was very light, and Ling'er had to work hard to concentrate to hear clearly.
"Sister, what about you? What do you think of him? Ling'er thinks that Min'er's feelings are the most important thing.
"I thought I hated him, but the time he asked someone to bring me wine, I realized that I didn't hate him as much as I thought I did." Ling'er listened to Min'er's words and immediately asked.
"Sister, then why did you have such a relationship with that Ding today?" Isn't this blocking your own way?
"She's humiliating me today, why should I let her humiliate? No matter what kind of mind I have, it is impossible for me to be with him. Min'er's tone was very affirmative.
"Why can't it be?" Ling'er didn't understand, why was it impossible for both of them to have a good feeling?
"Because of the family, I would rather never marry than be someone's little wife, and he is not the only man in the world, why should I wronged myself?" Although Min'er was born in a farming family, she has been deeply influenced by Ling'er over the years, and her ideas are very different from those of girls in this era.
"Sister, I don't know what to say, as long as you figure it out yourself." Ling'er saw that Min'er thought clearly, so she didn't worry anymore.
"You don't have to worry, I'm not going to get into the nitty-gritty." Min'er knew that Ling'er was worried about her, what if she had such a sister and wouldn't marry for the rest of her life?
