Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cloth Dyeing

"That poor girl who lives upstairs, you do it according to the old rules tonight, and look through her if she has anything valuable."

Ah Mao was a little hesitant, raised his head and glanced at Aunt Mei cautiously, "Aunt Mei, do we really want to do this?" We are also in the business of the poor, so why can't we let these poor people go? ”

Aunt Mei sneered, the disdain on her face overflowing, "If I let these poor people go, there will always be one between you and me who will starve to death." Do you want to save someone else's life, or do you want to save your own? ”

Aunt Mei's sharp eyes fell on Ah Mao's body, Ah Mao shivered timidly, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Ah Mao knows." ”

In the middle of the night, the moon hangs in the dark and dreary sky, and the night sky is dotted with a few sparse stars.

Qin Kexin lay on the simple wooden bed, sleeping soundly.

At least in this place, Qin Kexin didn't have to worry about observing words and feelings, and he didn't have to look at other people's faces to act.

But on the stairs of the inn, a small figure sneakily walked towards Qin Kexin's room.

Ah Mao cautiously opened the door of Qin Kexin's room, barely making any sound.

Looking at the beautiful-looking woman lying on the bed in the moonlight, Ah Mao was stunned for a moment.

This sister is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and under the bright moonlight, her snow-white skin looks even more blown.

But when he thought about the feeling of starvation in his stomach, Ah Mao could only reluctantly grit his teeth and be ruthless.

Sneaking up to the table where Qin Kexin put his baggage, Ah Mao stretched out his thin little hands and opened Qin Kexin's baggage.

But there was nothing else in it except a few pieces of clothing.

For some reason, Ah Mao actually breathed a sigh of relief, but Ah Mao's gaze suddenly fell on the purse on Qin Kexin's waist.

The purse must have been filled with a lot of things.

Thinking like this, Ah Mao walked towards Qin Kexin's side.

Through the moonlight, Ah Mao saw a glittering ingots from one end of the purse.

Ah Mao immediately became excited, he hurriedly stretched out his thin little hand and touched Qin Kexin's waist.

But it was precisely because of this movement that Qin Kexin suddenly woke up.

On weekdays, Qin Kexin's sleep is very shallow, but there is always a change in his waist when he arrives today, Qin Kexin immediately opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a thin child.

The child's expression was frightened, and there was a hint of guilt in being caught doing bad things.

Qin Kexin hurriedly grabbed the child's hand on the purse on his waist, "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”

Ah Mao was caught, and he suddenly nervously wanted to withdraw his hand, but after struggling for a while, the thin Ah Mao was really not Qin Kexin's opponent.

"Sister, I'm also forced by life, just let me go, don't go to the official, okay?"

Ah Mao is also a child, and he is already timid, but he cried out loud when he was scared like this.

At this time, Qin Kexin was even more overwhelmed, and she hurriedly wiped away the tears on the face of the thin child in front of her.

"Don't cry, if you have any problems, you can tell me, why do you use such unsightly means?"

Qin Kexin sighed slightly, took out half a steamed bun from his cuff, and handed it to the little child.

"Eat quickly, you must have been hungry for a long time."

Looking at this child's skinny appearance, Qin Kexin could imagine how difficult his life was.

It is precisely for this reason that Qin Kexin also recalled the life he lived in the open when he was abducted and trafficked by Ya Po before.

I somehow felt a trace of sympathy for this child.

"What's your name, kid?"

Ah Mao's mouth gobbled up the steamed buns, and finally swallowed the last bite of steamed buns, Ah Mao opened his mouth with difficulty, "My name is Ah Mao." ”

Qin Kexin smiled and nodded.

Although Ah Mao is thin, his eyes are clear and bright, and he looks like a pair of clear spring water.

"Sister, you are so beautiful, as if you are a fairy in the sky, you must be the daughter of a big family, right?"

Ah Mao was full, and he also let down his guard against Qin Kexin, the sister in front of him was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted.

Although she coveted this sister's money, this sister didn't mean to blame herself at all.

Qin Kexin was amused by the child and giggled, raised his hand, and gently rubbed it on the child's furry head.

"You kid has such a sweet mouth, I'm not a fairy in the sky, I'm just a former subordinate of King Qi's mansion."

Thinking about it, Qin Kexin recalled the injustice he received in King Qi's Mansion again, and his face gradually became a little sad.

Ah Mao seemed to be able to sense Qin Kexin's emotions, he stretched out his thin hand and patted Qin Kexin lightly on the shoulder.

This child, who can't even eat enough, will one day comfort others for the joys and sorrows of others.

"Sister, don't be sad, I apologize to you, it's really me who is wrong today, I shouldn't have come to steal your things."

Mao lowered his head as he spoke, as if he really knew his mistake.

But Qin Kexin was actually angry because Ah Mao stole something, so Qin Kexin's face showed a relieved smile, "It's okay, my sister didn't take this matter to heart." ”

"Ah Mao has no mother, it all depends on Aunt Mei to pull me up, Aunt Mei is just a woman, and she runs the inn alone, which is naturally hard, so I had to come up with this shady solution."

Mao lowered his head in self-reproach as he spoke.

In the past few days, all the robberies they have stolen are those poor families, although Ah Mao has blamed himself more than once in his heart.

But the feeling of hunger in the belly was not pleasant, and Ah Mao didn't want to wronged himself.

Qin Kexin looked at this child distressedly, a little child had suffered so much unfair treatment at such a young age.

Suddenly, Qin Kexin raised his head and looked at the child.

"Ah Mao, will you believe me? Maybe I can bring your inn back to life. ”

Hearing this, Ah Mao suddenly raised his head in surprise, "Is this true?" ”

Qin Kexin nodded seriously.

The remote location of this inn has led to a scarcity of customers, but as long as it is renovated, it will definitely attract a large number of customers.

"You go back to sleep first, don't wander around outside so late, I'll talk to the proprietress tomorrow morning, you believe me, I must have this ability."

Ah Mao nodded obediently, turned around and walked out of Qin Kexin's room.

……

A good night's sleep, not sleeping so anxiously like in the palace, Qin Kexin got up early in the morning and stretched, feeling refreshed.

After walking down the stairs, Qin Kexin saw at a glance Aunt Mei and Ah Mao who were sitting on the edge of the wooden table eating breakfast.

As soon as Ah Mao saw Qin Kexin, he immediately beckoned enthusiastically, "Sister fairy, come and eat together." ”

This fairy sister made Qin Kexin blush even more, she smiled embarrassedly and sat next to Ah Mao.

But on the other hand, Aunt Mei's face was as cold as ever.

Qin Kexin was in a worried mood, raised her head and showed a smile at Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei didn't respond, can what a little girl say be true? This inn has worked hard to maintain until now, and if you say that you have to change it, you don't have such a big right as the boss.

"I don't know what to call a girl?"

With a polite smile on her face, Aunt Mei handed Qin Kexin a black steamed bun.

"My surname is Qin, and my name is Kexin. You can call me Miss Qin. ”

Aunt Mei nodded knowingly, "I wonder what Miss Qin plans to change this inn into?" I'll say it in advance, I don't have a penny of this money superfluous. ”

Aunt Mei also spoke straightforwardly, but Qin Kexin didn't take it to heart.

"Actually, when I was a human before, I learned some dyeing techniques, and I thought that since this inn has such a scarce number of customers, it is better to transform it into a dyeing workshop."

One thing to say, Qin Kexin's dyeing ability is indeed powerful, whether it is embroidery or textile, Qin Kexin is the most outstanding among the female workers in the palace.

Now that she came out, Qin Kexin thought that she always had to have physical skills to be able to survive, and this dilapidated inn might be the first step to change her fate.

Aunt Mei was immediately interested, and the cost of doing a fabric business is actually very low, which is also the best among many businesses.

It's just that Aunt Mei has never tried it, because Aunt Mei's textile ability is actually not great.

Looking at the young girl in front of her, Aunt Mei was also a little skeptical.

"It's okay for me to do it, but you have to show me your strength."

Aunt Mei raised her eyebrows, the meaning was obvious, she wanted Qin Kexin to make a finished cloth that satisfied her, and touched Qin Kexin's bottom.

Qin Kexin nodded very happily, "That's nature, I wonder if you have waste fabrics and needles here?" ”

"Ah Mao, go to the storage room and bring the fabric and needlework."

As soon as Aunt Mei's words fell, Ah Mao ran to a small room and hugged a big box when she came out.

"These are the dowries I gave when I got married, you have to treat them well, if they are damaged or broken, they will also bother the girl to compensate me in full."

Although Aunt Mei had a polite smile on her face, her words were very unkind.

However, Qin Kexin didn't take these words to heart.

"Okay, I see, I'll bring the finished product to you tonight, if you're still satisfied, then please rest assured that you'll give me this inn."

While speaking, Qin Kexin picked up the big box and walked towards his room with difficulty.
