Chapter 70: Ice Release Suspicion
Qing'er rushed back to the small courtyard, and before her feet crossed the threshold, Cai'er rushed out and pulled her back to the bedroom to ask questions.
After learning the result, Cai'er was so excited that she cried for a while, laughed for a while, and walked around the house non-stop, restless.
Qing'er couldn't help but be amused when she saw her restless appearance, and only smiled after a while: "Brother Ling wants to redeem your business, do you want to say hello to Yun Niang first and ask her to help you suppress the price?" ”
Cai'er thought for a while and hesitated: "It's not right, if something goes wrong, why don't you drag my sister into the water." ”
Qing'er didn't expect her to be so righteous, and was about to praise her, but she then added: "The more my sister doesn't know, the less suspicious my mother is, and the more powerful she says." Something is going to happen tomorrow, and I will point to my sister to excuse me after all, and I must not let her make any mistakes first. ”
Qing'er raised her eyebrows, snorted, and casually asked her where her hometown was and how long it would take to reunite.
I don't want Cai'er to smile coldly and talk about her life experience. It turned out that she lost her mother since she was a child, and her father gave birth to two boys and a girl after her father's succession.
Cai'er said expressionlessly: "What am I going to do when I go back, are you waiting for them to sell me again?" ”
"So what are you going to do? How does a lone woman make a living? ”
Cai'er is confident, it turned out that she learned from Zhang's sister-in-law that Xijing is now in the fashion for a kind of embroidery from the south, and the local embroidery workshop hires embroidery girls to make imitations, and a number of embroidery workshops have been rich because of the low price.
In order to reduce costs, the more shrewd went south to hire cheaper Liangzhou embroiderers. Zhang's sister-in-law's neighbor's daughter has been going north for two months, and a while ago she wrote to say that although the embroidery method is difficult, the income after learning is very considerable, urging the rest of the sisters to go north quickly.
Cai'er likes embroidery since she was a child, and after being ordered by Yun Niang, her skills are not bad, so she is eager to try, and plans to choose an embroidery workshop to go north to make a living after redeeming her.
Qing'er saw that what she said was the Tao, and it was expected that she had been planning this matter for a long time.
Suddenly remembered the night Shi Niang broke the melon, she had instigated herself to track down the location of the Jiu Niang thief, did she not want to repay any favor at that time, but to borrow herself to explore the way for her?
Sure enough, her scheming is too deep and terrifying!
Qing'er smiled quietly: "No wonder you have made such a big ruthless decision this time, you have already planned the way back, so I can rest assured." ”
"I didn't have the courage to do that, I haven't left this street since I can remember, who knows what Xijing is like...... It's just that Si Qin died so inexplicably, and my mother intended to ask me to go again...... A few days ago, I was often awakened by nightmares, and I couldn't help but think of the Nine Girls...... Although I don't know the details, the more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more afraid I am of ......"
Cai'er's eyes flashed, and she suddenly grabbed Qing'er's hands excitedly, looked straight into her eyes and said:
"Remember what you said after Si Qin's death? You said that men can change, they can't be trusted, and they have to hold the money in their own hands. It took me a long time to think about it before I finally made up my mind. I don't have any talent, I don't have Xiaohong's good life, so I hope for an ethereal lover, it's better to give it a go! If it still doesn't work out, then I'll resign myself to my fate! ”
Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and that tone was indeed what she said correctly, but she didn't have any impression. I don't want to say a few unintentional words, but it made Cai'er make such a big decision.
Looks like she misunderstood Cai'er again!
Maybe it's preconceived, maybe Cai'er is too scheming, Qing'er always unconsciously warns of her and suspects her, but in fact, if you think about it seriously, she is just a thirteen-year-old child!
Thinking of this, Qing'er's heart softened again and persuaded:
"Don't believe in fate, life is done by yourself. You think Xiaohong's life is good, but I don't think so. We've all seen it outside of the king, that character! Hmph, I'm just afraid of ......"
Cai'er interjected: "Wang Yuanwai loves Xiaohong very much, I can see it!" Besides, he has no concubines. ”
"Xiaohong is young and beautiful, docile and well-behaved, it is human nature for Wang Yuanwai to like her and love her, but I don't know if it can last long. Xiaohong is cowardly, timid, and fearful, neither assertive nor responsible, and is as cheap as duckweed. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the concubine's team will be lined up in rows, stepping on her head one by one, and making a fortune. ”
"This ...... As long as Xiaohong can give birth to a son......"
"So what? Forget it, don't talk about this, everyone wants her to be good. Let's talk about you, I dare to assert that you will never have a 'good life' like Xiaohong. ”
Qing'er saw Cai'er's shoulders shake, smiled, held her shoulders and smiled:
"Because of your words, Sanniang can't control you at all, she didn't dare to drug you from the beginning, and she couldn't keep your mouth shut. On the other hand, you won't swallow your fate, you won't get pregnant in a daze, and even if you're pregnant, you'll be defeated, right? ”
Cai'er was stunned, looked at Qing'er fixedly, and said like an oath:
"I understand what you mean, my life is up to me! This trip north, whether it goes well or not, no matter what the outcome is, I will never regret it! Because this is the path I chose for myself, although I don't complain about hard work, I don't complain about death! ”
Qing'er patted her shoulder and praised: "It's good that my life is up to me, I have backbone, that's it!" ”
Cai'er glanced at Qing'er gratefully, and after a while, she suddenly smiled bitterly and said:
"So you're really better than me! Since you came, I have been refusing to obey you, and I always feel that you have played tricks to deceive your mother, deceived your sister, and climbed the high branches of the ninth son. Oh, now I understand that your intelligence and insight are far above mine, but you don't care about me. It's a pity I woke up too late, otherwise we could have been sisters! ”
Qing'er added in her heart: It will never be possible, unless you are willing to rescue you when you suffer for the first time!
She didn't want to be a narrow-minded person, and she had tried several times, but it was difficult to pull out the hard thorn in her heart. Forget it, anyway, tomorrow will go their separate ways, and any grievances and grievances will be written off.
Cai'er took a handkerchief from her bedside and said sadly: "Farewell tomorrow, I don't know if there will be a day to meet." I embroidered this handkerchief myself, so keep it in mind. ”
Qing'er opened it and saw a blue bird embroidered on the beige handkerchief.
The bird was blue all over, with only a bright red head, and bright black eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's so beautiful! No wonder you want to go north, it turns out that there is such a good craft! This is a good girl with a clever mind, who can marry you is his creation! ”
Cai'er's face was flushed with shame, and she said stupidly for a while:
"Tomorrow I tear up the deed of sale, and I will have nothing to do with this place. In the future, I will find someone to marry...... No matter how poor or miserable you are, you are still decent. ”
