Chapter 16: Nobody Cares
The woman is the daughter of the county magistrate of Huaxi Town, Du Huier.
This girl is over eighteen years old, but no one cares about the age at which she should have been married, naturally it is related to the wind commentary, and Ye Jinyu is a person who can't fight together, but she met here. also fell in love with Shen Ziqing at a glance.
This makes Ye Jinyu feel like a great enemy, but helplessly, she can't speak, even if she speaks, her voice is as silent as falling leaves, how to communicate?
In a hurry, she grabbed Shen Ziqing's arm and pulled him to salute Du Hui'er together.
Du Hui'er's maid saw that Ye Jinyu was wrong, and subconsciously asked, "Hey, little woman, are you dumb?" When I saw our young lady, I didn't say a word. ”
Ye Jinyu nodded, opened his mouth and made a sound, hoarse and ugly, so he lowered his head again and made a look of shame.
Du Hui'er has a bad reputation, but she is not a person who likes to do evil, seeing that these two people are intimate, they think that this is a couple, and the woman is still a mute, so she lacks interest.
"It's a pity, it's a mute."
Steward Zhao hurriedly ran over and said to Du Hui'er: "Why did Miss Du come here, it must be those girls who are negligent, I apologize to Miss." ”
Du Hui'er waved her hand: "It's okay, I'm just walking around, it is rumored that the completion of the Zhao Mansion will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I can't look at it." ”
Steward Zhao was in a cold sweat, and remembered his wife's advice, so he hurriedly said: "Look at what Miss said, our Zhao family is just more people, and the yard will be built bigger, where is it as the legend says, where is the cost so huge." ”
"Steward Zhao, you don't fool people here, if the Zhao Mansion doesn't have silver, then who has the silver, I deign to come here as a guest now......"
Ye Jinyu couldn't understand what they were saying, and stood next to him pretending to be deaf.
waited until Du Huier was asked to leave, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect this Du Hui'er to say everything without concealment. And they heard it for real, and that's not a good thing.
Sure enough, as soon as his thoughts fell, Steward Zhao knocked on the side: "What you heard just now, if it spreads, it will not be beneficial to your Yangjia Village." ”
Ye Jinyu nodded.
Steward Zhao didn't know that Ye Jinyu couldn't speak, and was very dissatisfied: "You woman, so perfunctory, is it to conclude that we don't dare to do anything to your Yangjia Village?" ”
Ye Jinyu opened his mouth, pointed to his throat, and shook his head.
Steward Zhao then understood, and was a little sneering: "Okay, since it's not perfunctory, just remember it, give me the bed tent, forget the handkerchief, our lady doesn't have free time to look at your handkerchief." ”
Ye Jinyu frowned and glanced at Shen Ziqing.
Shen Zi opened his mouth lightly and came: "The price of the bed tent is paid according to the negotiation, but this handkerchief costs fifty taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jinyu was instantly petrified.
Mrs. Zhao didn't want to take a look at the handkerchief, and she wanted fifty taels, but it was really a joke, and sure enough, Steward Zhao couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Fifty taels?" ”
Now, Ye Jinyu naturally couldn't fall behind, straightened his waist, and nodded.
Steward Zhao smiled even more happily: "You, a woman, have such a big appetite, even if it is a handkerchief embroidered with gold, it is not worth the price." ”
Ye Jinyu smiled lightly, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Forget it, I don't have time to talk to you so much, leave the bed tent, and we will settle the money with you." Steward Zhao thought that Ye Jinyu was just running errands.
When Shen Ziqing heard that he didn't get the silver, he stopped doing it immediately: "The silver, ours." ”
"Didn't you, woman, come on your own?" Steward Zhao asked.
Shen Ziqing doesn't care about anything, he only needs silver, and only with silver can he eat steamed buns: "Jin Niang embroidery, give us silver." ”
Steward Zhao saw that Shen Ziqing was speaking so unsmoothly, and his demeanor was the same as that of a child, he glanced at Ye Jinyu again, this woman was mute.
Ye Jinyu could see Steward Zhao's suspicions, smiled from him, pointed at Shen Ziqing, nodded his head again, and shook his head.
This son is stupid.
Zhao is in charge of whom, what has not been encountered, thinking of Yuan's sleek personality, and then looking at the two people in front of him.
I already understood a little in my heart, and I immediately felt sympathy: "Okay, since you are being sent by one of you, then it is not unreasonable for me to give you silver, as for the handkerchief......
Ye Jinyu handed over the burden and told Shen Zi in a few words: Handkerchiefs don't want silver.
Shen Zi was puzzled: "Jin Niang, why don't you want silver for handkerchiefs?" ”
Not to mention Shen Ziqing, even Steward Zhao also wanted to know why the handkerchief didn't want silver, so he swore that the handkerchief cost fifty taels of silver.
Ye Jinyu saluted to Steward Zhao and didn't say anything more.
Shen Ziqing was very unwilling beside him, and repeatedly tried to continue to say something: "Jin Niang...... ”
It's a pity that Ye Jinyu can't hear it.
Steward Zhao looked at Shen Ziqing, then at Ye Jinyu, and took out twenty-one taels of silver from his arms: "That's it, I'm in charge of the handkerchief, one tael of silver will be bought for you, as for the bed tent, the salary is twenty taels, and I can also give it to you first." ”
Ye Jinyu looked at the twenty-one taels of silver in Steward Zhao's hand, her confidence suddenly came, Mrs. Zhao can pay such a high price to buy a bed tent, I am afraid that she can see the preciousness of her embroidery, only these twenty taels of silver, but worthy of the upper handed over by the Yuan family.
Thinking that the Yuan clan actually said that there were only five taels of silver, it was really a good calculation.
Knowing that her embroidery was delicate and Mrs. Zhao loved, she thought of using her embroidery to get close to Mrs. Zhao and obtain stable large customers for her embroidery workshop.
said it so nicely, she was willing to pay ten taels of silver to her for her hard work, and it turned out that she had earned ten taels of silver.
On the contrary, it was Li Zheng, who was also calculated by the Yuan family, and the public took ten taels of silver out, and made up the ten taels of silver she gave, and the twenty taels of silver went into her Yuan family's pocket in the end.
On the other hand, Ye Jinyu himself can't get a tael of silver, and he has to work for others in vain.
"Take it, it's not too early, you have a long way back to Yangjia Village, leave now, and you can rush back before dark." Steward Zhao felt sympathy for Ye Jinyu and Shen Ziqing.
After all, a mute girl brings a fool.
No matter what the relationship between these two people is, you can see their hardships. These two pieces of silver should be regarded as a gift from him.
Ye Jinyu looked at Shen Zi and said softly: Take out the handkerchief and give it to the steward.
Shen Zi hesitated lightly, Ye Jinyu couldn't wait, so he went to get it himself.
When Ye Jinyu took the handkerchief out of the baggage, it was the well-informed Steward Zhao, his eyes were round, and he looked frightened.
The handkerchief in Ye Jinyu's hand was actually shining with colorful light in the sun.
"This ......"
Ye Jinyu stuffed the handkerchief into Steward Zhao's hand.
Steward Zhao is well aware of Mrs. Zhao's obsession with embroidery, and once mentioned that a lost embroidery method, colorful embroidery.
In fact, colorful embroidery is not an embroidery method, but a problem of thread, because it is lost, no one knows how to make it.
Steward Zhao had only heard Mrs. Zhao sigh twice, but he didn't know the essence, and now, this living colorful embroidery appeared in front of him, how could he not be shocked.
Almost trembling his hands, he hurriedly dropped a sentence and ran: "I'll go see Madame, you wait here." ”
Ye Jinyu saw that Steward Zhao had run away, she smiled, took the burden, pulled Shen Ziqing's sleeve, and left quickly.
Shen Ziqing was originally reluctant to leave because he didn't get the silver, Ye Jinyu pulled him away, but he didn't dare to stay, so he had to reluctantly follow Ye Jinyu away.
Here, Steward Zhao held the handkerchief and ran to Mrs. Zhao in a hurry, and at this moment, Mrs. Zhao had already taken the ladies who came to visit the courtyard.
In fact, visiting the yard is just a means of building their network. Who would really greet the rockeries and fake water in this yard, they have them in their own yards.
Steward Zhao rushed in in such a hurry, it was really a little impolite.
Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, and just as she was about to drink, Steward Zhao held a handkerchief: "Madam, look what this is." ”
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were then attracted by the handkerchief in Steward Zhao's hand, as seen by Steward Zhao, the handkerchief in the sun presented a colorful light, dazzling and extraordinary
The guests gasped and admired, and Mrs. Zhao's eyes were straight.
Colorful handkerchief, the five colors are the silk thread on the handkerchief, with the embroidery, embroidered pattern, shining in the sun, there is no understanding of the degree of color production.
"W-where did this come from?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't be indifferent.
Holding the handkerchief, they have lost their proportions.
Seeing this, Steward Zhao no longer doubted the authenticity of this handkerchief.
"The embroidery girl in Yangjia Village, the silk and gold thread were selected by me and sent over, and there will be no fakes." Steward Zhao thought to himself, perhaps, the good days of that dumb lady are coming.
The Zhao family knows that Mrs. loves talent the most, if this Ye family has real talent and real learning, Mrs. will definitely not let her go outside, and it is very likely that she will be used for her own use.
"What about people?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't hide her excitement, although there were so many guests here now, she wanted to meet a humble embroiderer.
"I'm waiting outside." Steward Zhao shrank to.
"Please let her in."
Ye Jinyu took Shen Ziqing to leave from Zhao's Mansion, specially went to the steamed bun shop, bought two steamed buns for Shen Ziqing, and then took him back to Yangjia Village slowly.
As soon as he stepped into Yangjia Village, he was surrounded by people, and Yuan's and Li Zheng looked angry.
The burden in Shen Ziqing's hand was snatched away and opened in front of the two of them, and inside was the bed tent that had been repaired.
Li Zheng and Yuan Shi glanced at each other, and the answer they saw in each other's eyes was consistent with what they thought.
Yuanshi pointed at Ye Jinyu and scolded angrily: "Ye, you are not timid, you dare to take the bed tent and go out, where have you been?" ”
Ye Jinyu couldn't speak, and the Yuan clan immediately shifted the target and pointed at Shen Ziqing: "Fool, you come and go." ”
Shen Ziqing's face was arrogant, he glanced at Yuan's family, and suddenly smiled: "The nostrils are so big." ”
Yuanshi: "......"
Li Zheng stepped forward and said to Shen Ziqing: "Shen Ziqing, you talk to us, today. Where have you been? ”
"Huaxi Town." Shen Ziqing naturally knew this place.
"Sure enough, as I expected, you slut, went to Steward Zhao, right?" Yuan screamed and pointed at Ye Jinyu, as if he wanted to die with her.
Li Zheng naturally couldn't accept it: "Ye, you dare to trick us, bring the silver." ”
"The silver bought steamed buns." Shen Ziqing took the steamed bun next to him and ate it.
White-flour steamed buns are a rare thing, and most people don't just spend a copper plate to buy one to eat, Shen Ziqing ate the steamed buns in front of everyone, which is enough to make many people hate him.
"Dare to use my money to buy steamed buns to eat, Ye, you are too shameless, too rampant and shameless." Yuan thought that the twenty taels of silver in his hand were going to fly, so he was so angry that he didn't pay attention to the burden in Li Zheng's hand.
Being so insulted by her, Ye Jinyu's face was not good-looking, she couldn't speak and couldn't scold back, so she snatched back the burden in Li Zheng's hand and threw it on Yuan's face.
