"You don't know this jade pendant, do you?" Zhiyun looked at Qingqiu with a smile. Qingqiu's forehead was still sweating.

Qingqiu didn't know how to answer when she asked for a while, yes, how did she not know this jade pendant. Back then, that family was Jiang, and this jade pendant was divided into two, one was here for her and the other was for him. But after so many years, Mo said that she was reuniting with her old friend, but she didn't dare to think about it.

She smiled a little sadly.

"Girl, I don't know why you know about me, I don't know why you suddenly came to me with this jade pendant, and I don't know what your purpose is, but I'm just a lowly woman in the green building now, last time you said that you wanted to redeem me, although what I said here is good, but when I go out from here, everything the world sees is dirty. In fact, even if I go out, I will be spurned by others, and it is meaningless. ”

She looked at Zhiyun, but saw that she shook her head, her tone was still soft, and there was never the slightest disdain or disgust when treating her, she said, "So what? I don't think you're any different from everyone else, and it really doesn't make sense if you think of yourself like this. Zhiyun paused, carefully observed Qingqiu's expression, and after seeing that she did not show disdain, he said: "Qingqiu, it's not that no one in this world cares about you, on the contrary, I came to find you to get you out of this predicament." ”

She stuffed the mandarin duck jade into Qingqiu's hand: "I was entrusted to come here to find you, but not to see you feel sorry for yourself and despise yourself. ”

Qingqiu's eyes were filled with tears, she had been floating in the party for more than ten years, laughing and surviving, she had long lost the hope of life, she heard that her mother had recently sold her to a big family as a concubine, and she didn't feel that she had escaped, she only felt that she had jumped from one cage to another, so she was depressed and had a lot of illness, she felt that her life had no meaning, and it was just a cheap result. But since the appearance of this girl who doesn't know where she came from, she has seen the hope of living! But she still hesitated, she was afraid, she was afraid that this was just a game of the children of a rich family, in order to see her give birth to hope from despair, and to see her go to despair in hope, and take pleasure in it. She can live in such a place, and she doesn't trust anyone anymore!

"Girl, what is your purpose?"

Zhiyun saw what she was thinking, and replied: "My purpose is not in you, to be honest, I can't plan anything from you, the entrusted person owes me a favor, I just want a favor." ”

Qingqiu was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "The girl has always said that she was entrusted by someone, but I don't know who that person is?" ”

"Jiangnan Ling's son, Ling Mu."

Qing Qiu was speechless in shock, she thought about it when Zhiyun appeared with the Mandarin Duck Jade, but she felt that it was impossible, the Qing family had already declined, how could the Ling family abide by this agreement? At that time, she was familiar with the Ling Mu family, and she only verbally said that she would marry her children and in-laws, and used two pieces of mandarin duck jade as evidence, and did not set up any written evidence, so she naturally felt that the Qing family was in decline, and it was naturally impossible for the Ling family to abide by the agreement.

It's just that she never thought that Ling Mu was a person who had been committed to his promise since he was a child, and even a little lacking in heart.

"Ling Gongzi has been looking for you, he found Yan Jing from Jiangnan, he inquired all the way and found me, so I am willing to help him with this." Zhiyun explained.

Qingqiu took out a pendant from his clothes in a complicated mood, which was the other half of the mandarin duck jade! She has not left her body for so many years, and even in the most bitter days, she has not thought about selling it, but she just wants to keep a thought, a thought that can support her to continue to live.

He ...... Is he alright? Qingqiu asked in a choked voice.

"In general, it's not good, Shangjing was entangled by all the coils on his body, went to the broken temple to avoid being beaten by beggars, but it was only after coming to Yanjing, before coming to Yanjing, I didn't know, he was coming to participate in this year's autumn festival, and he was also here to find you."

Qingqiu couldn't help crying anymore, she seemed to be crying out all the pain she had suffered for more than ten years, and she had decided not to cry again in this desperate place, but at this moment, she couldn't do it aggrievedly, and she cried heartbreakingly. She was still young when she first came to the drunken dream building, she was beaten and scolded a lot, she didn't do any dirty work, and slowly she understood everything when she was older, relying on her own clever music to meet and flatter, deliberately please, and her mother saw that she played the piano well so that she did not fall to the point where she could be humiliated by giving people a few coins at will, but even so, her mother was unhappy and could still make her the same as others! Or, as she just learned, sell her to another hell, and she would have been the daughter of a rich family, but she suffered like this! Tell her how not to be wronged and how not to be in pain!

"How can I see that man again when I am like this......" she said.

"Ling Gongzi already knew where you were now, but he still asked me to come to you, can't you see this sincerity?"

"Really?" She's still a little unsettled.

Zhiwan nodded emphatically. Qingqiu seemed to have decided something, and ripped the pendant off his neck and handed it to Zhiyun. "Trouble the girl to pass it on to him on my behalf."

Zhiyun took it and understood what Qingqiu meant, and Qingqiu probably had the idea of opening up in his heart.

"You take care of it, if you see Ling Gongzi like this, I'm afraid it will make him worry." She instructed Qingqiu twice. left Qingqiu's room.

After going out, she asked Bi Tao, "How much silver do we have in our hands now?" ”

Bi Tao thought for a while and said, "Counting the money in the village, there are still three thousand taels." "In the past, when Mrs. was there, she had deposited a sum of money for the eldest lady and the second lady in the bank, in order to worry that the young lady would have a bad life in the future and prevent trouble.

Zhiyun was a little surprised, she had forgotten about the money in the village. Yes, her mother did save a sum of money for her and her sister when she was there, but in her previous life, in order to please her father, she was often tricked by Aunt Fang to take out the money to subsidize the family, and she spent it early, so she didn't expect this stubble.

Zhiyun found Xiaohong just now and asked her to call the bustard out, and the bustard seemed to have just woken up, and came out in disheveled clothes and scolding.

Seeing that the people looking for her were two women, I thought that Mo was here to make trouble again? The attitude is a little bad. "I wonder why the girl is here? Not everyone can come to my drunken dream building. ”

"I'm here today to redeem a girl." Zhiyun said lightly, not uncomfortable because of this old bustard's words.

The old bustard was stunned, this has only heard of a man redeeming a woman, but he has never heard of a woman redeeming a woman!

She looked Zhiyun up and down: "I don't know which one the girl wants to redeem?" ”

"Qingqiu."

The old bustard didn't care about it, but he was shocked when he heard Zhiyun say the name. Qingqiu? She promised Lord Liu to sell Qingqiu, and she also received a deposit of one hundred taels.

"Why, mom doesn't want to?"

"Qingqiu's words, this ...... It's a bit of a dilemma. The old bustard's eyes rolled, Qingqiu, this girl can speak, and she plays the piano well, if it weren't for the identity of Lord Liu, she wouldn't let her out easily, not to mention that the person who came was just a little girl?

"Mom, make a price." Zhiyun didn't say much to her, people are like this, in the face of absolute interests, they always weigh again and again to choose the one who benefits them the most.

The old bustard stretched out five fingers: "Five hundred taels." ”

"What?!" Bi Tao shouted in surprise, "You are clearly a lion's mouth!" ”

"Yo, this girl, but you want to come to me to buy someone, it's your business to buy it or not, whether it sells or not, how much it sells but I have the final say, whether you like to buy it or not!" The old bustard heard Bi Tao shouting, and she said disdainfully with a blank look.

Bi Tao wanted to say more but was stopped by Zhiyun, "Yes, I will have someone send the money tomorrow, and my mother will also give me someone tomorrow, and I can set up a note as proof." ”

The old bustard didn't expect Zhiyun to be so refreshing, and she already felt good that Lord Liu bought Qingqiu for only two hundred taels, but she didn't expect her to think about scaring the five hundred taels that this little girl said was actually promised by her, she was happy in her heart, and immediately changed her face, and the folds on her face with a smile were afraid that she could trap a fly.

"Okay, let's make a note, the girl is not allowed to regret it." With that, she went to look for a pen and paper.

Zhiyun quickly signed a note with the old bustard and drew a pledge, in duplicate, one for each party, even if it is difficult to regret it in the future, it is also effective to take it to the government and say it.

"Before I pick her up, I hope my mother will take good care of her and don't let her go wrong." Zhiyun didn't forget to remind the bustard a few words.

The old bustard hurriedly responded: "That's nature, that's nature!" ”

Zhiyun and Bi Tao then came out of the drunken dream building. Bi Tao couldn't help but say: "That old bustard is too black-hearted, you can buy as many maids as you want for five hundred taels!" ”

Zhiyun smiled and said, "You, these five hundred taels are just for the moment, and the benefits in the future are more than these five hundred taels." "If Ling Mu moves well, it will be more than five hundred taels.

They hurried back to the jewelry shop they had just had, and when they came out, they only said that they had not seen anything they liked for a long time, so they got into the carriage and said that they would go home.

The waiting coachman and a few Xia Mansion guards were not suspicious, because they felt that these young ladies from high-ranking families had strange tempers, and they had been pampered since childhood, and they needed to be busy for half a day to choose clothes and jewelry every day, not to mention that they came out to choose things, so they didn't feel strange that Zhiyun had been gone for so long.

In the carriage, Bi Tao lifted the curtains of the car, and suddenly "Huh? After a while, she seemed to see something, and Zhiyun asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Bi Tao pointed to a place outside and said, "Miss, look, isn't that Liu Ye, the eldest son of the Liu family?" ”

Zhiyun looked over, it was indeed Liu Ye, at this time he came out of a shop, but he was kicked out, and the shopkeeper was still scolding and didn't know what he was talking about, Liu Ye and the man seemed to have an argument. Then the shopkeeper threw something out of it.

Liu Ye picked up the things angrily, patted the dust on his body, and left with a depressed face.

Zhiyun sneered, the Liu family didn't lean on the big tree of the Xia family, and even offended Xia Qing and made Xia Qing lose face, and now he still wants to make his business bigger in Beijing? Pipe dream!
