Chapter 19: The Past

Anseong.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys of Ancheng, since Duan Qingqian's bold words about her husband were released, there has never been a shortage of topics about her in the streets and alleys, and today's news is about Duan Qingqian's arrest.

"I heard that the Princess Regent was kidnapped by the Assassins?"

"No, I heard that Lord Jia asked the people of the rivers and lakes to kidnap him."

"No, no, you're all wrong, the princess regent just went out of the city to worship Mr. Jane."

"Really? Who do you listen to? ”

"If you don't believe it, you'll see, they go out of the city at noon, and they must come back before closing the gates."

"Yo, the head of the story is the Tao, who knows if it's true or not?"

"Come, come, or we will make a bet, and we will keep guard at this gate, and they will pass through this gate when they return to the city."

"Okay, I'll bet with you, send someone at each city gate to see, I still don't believe it."

"Okay, bet on what?"

"Just for today's meal."

"Okay, just pay for today's meal."

The bet was settled, and they drank wine on the table with melon seeds, looking at the city gate, and the waiting time was too boring, and they chatted again.

"Hey, I mentioned Mr. Jane just now, I think Mr. Jane was also a character back then!"

"It's not, it's just a poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and he lived that day... Tsk, even we are not as good as us. ”

"But people's lives are good, how can it be like we are still poor and sour for most of our lives, and people are rising step by step."

"If you want me to say that Prime Minister Zuo was lucky at that time, there were so many farmhouses and yards outside the city, and he just couldn't enter the city in time to meet Mr. Jane's daughter and live in Mr. Jane's house."

"No, Mr. Jane loves tea ceremony and collecting, although he has not won fame, but he is a genuine talent and knowledgeable."

"I heard that Prime Minister Zuo was valued by the emperor because of his strange theory, and I heard that this strange theory came from the mouth of Mr. Jian."

"I also heard that Mr. and Mrs. Jian only have one baby daughter, and her heart is all on Prime Minister Zuo, but Prime Minister Zuo is bent on gaining fame, Mr. Jian can't bear his daughter to suffer, and he often calls Prime Minister Zuo on weekdays, so that Prime Minister Zuo can stand out."

"But who would have thought that Prime Minister Zuo would abandon his wretched wife after he became famous?"

"It's not abandonment, I heard that I hurt my body when I gave birth to Miss Duan, and then I wanted to kill the son in the womb of my wife before I was demoted to a concubine, ordinary people say that they want their son to pass on the ancestry, pay attention to a bloodline inheritance, not to mention the dignified prime minister, Mr. Jian to his daughter's generation is broken, Mr. Jian is open-minded and doesn't care, but Prime Minister Duan doesn't agree."

"Mr. Jane was also a heyday figure back then, especially the things he collected for half his life, but it caused a lot of people to be red, and the family had nothing to rely on.

"I heard about this, why didn't Prime Minister Zuo make a move at that time? If he is willing to make a move, which young man dares to patronize the old man of Prime Minister Zuo. ”

"It's not okay if there's no one in the family, I heard that the first person to appear at the scene of the accident was Miss Duan, and it was also Miss Duan who collected the coffin for Mr. and Mrs. Jian, and Prime Minister Zuo took a look and left."

"It's so shuffling!"

"Hey, look, isn't that the carriage of the Regent's Palace?"

"Yes, it's the carriage of the Regent's Palace, you lost."

"Okay, I admit it, I'll pay for this meal today."

The regent palace, An Anyan heard that Duan Qingqian was kidnapped, and her own heart was also up and down, and An Yunmo also went out to look for it later, so she was a little relieved, and now that she heard that An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian had returned to the house, she hurriedly came over to see.

An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian had just entered the hall, and An Anyan's voice had already come.

"Amo, Qingqian, are you back?"

"Auntie, we're back."

The person who spoke at peace also entered the hall at this time, and stepped forward to look up and down at Qingqian, "You have suffered." ”

Duan Qingqian didn't care and said, "It's okay, it's a false alarm." ”

"Fortunately, it's a false alarm, you can bring more guards when you go out in the future, and now your identity is different from the past."

"Yes, Auntie."

"Amo, now that your marriage has been settled, my aunt should go back."

"Auntie, stay a little longer? It just so happens that Qingqian is also in the house, can I talk to you? ”

"No, my aunt still thinks that the mountains are suitable for me, and in the future, if you feel that the city is lacking, you will come to the mountains to talk to me."

"Since my aunt has made up her mind, Ah Mo doesn't force it."

"Okay, you also understand my aunt, my aunt will go back early tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

An Yunmo knew that An Anyan didn't want to get involved in the current chaotic situation, so she chose to avoid it, in her opinion, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, she couldn't bear to see An Yunmo alone, and now that he has married a wife, then she should go back.

Duan Qingqian rolled down the hillside with some skin injuries on his body, and the wound on his neck was also conspicuous, although everyone in the Regent's Mansion knew that Duan Qingqian had been kidnapped, but he escaped from behind, but most of the rumors on the street said that Duan Qingqian just went out of the city to worship his ancestors, and returned to the city at dusk, and the rumors about Duan Qingqian gradually faded.

As the days passed, the streets of Anseong were silent as there were no new things to talk about.

On this day, Liu's mother took her packed baggage and prepared to go back to her hometown, because her eldest son was going to marry a wife, she took a day off, her son married a wife, and she had to go back to see her future daughter-in-law as a mother, right?

And she is also going to bring some silver taels back, so that her son can marry someone in the door in style.

Mother Liu took out her embroidery in the past few days.

"Boss Cheng, this is the embroidery I came out of the past two days, take a look."

Boss Cheng picked it up and looked at it, frowning, "Mother Liu, I didn't say you, your embroidery is really getting worse and worse, you see that these stitches are not even, and you are also acquaintances, this time it will be given to you at the previous price, but you will embroider better in the future." ”

"Thank you, Boss Cheng, the moonlight is too dark these days, I can't see clearly. In the future, it must be embroidered, it must be embroidered. ”

"Come on, do you still have those fine embroideries before?"

"This ......"

Liu's mother hid one for herself, because she planned to use it as a wedding gift for her son.

Boss Cheng knew that there was one when he saw her like this.

"Mother Liu, you also know the price of the high-quality embroidery, do you say that it is a piece of embroidery or silver?"

Liu's mother was entangled.

Boss Cheng continued to lure, "Mom Liu, I will pay five taels more than before to buy it." ”

Liu's mother didn't speak, holding on to her burden.

Boss Cheng continued, "Ten taels more, how about ten taels?" That's the best you can do, if you don't agree......"

"No, I agreed, and I sold it."

"Okay, deal. Hurry up and take a look? ”

Liu's mother untied her burden, layer after layer, the innermost layer was the embroidery, Boss Cheng took it out and took a look, it turned out to be a pillowcase of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Boss Cheng glanced at Liu's mother and said, "For your son?" ”

"But no, I'm going to give it to him. Boss, you don't want to buy it, do you? ”

"That's all there is to it?"

"That's it, I'm afraid there won't be any more in the future."

"Who embroidered it before?"

Mother Liu remembered what Duan Qingqian explained before, and she didn't talk to Boss Cheng anymore.

"Boss Cheng, didn't I say that? A relative of mine embroidered it, she got married, and she was busy with her husband and children, so she didn't have time to embroider. ”

Boss Cheng is not forced, he knows that the people behind Liu's mother don't want to show up, he has earned a lot of fame and money by selling some of the high-quality embroideries she embroidered over the years, and he also said when he handed over the embroidery for the last time, if he didn't sell it to him, he wouldn't sell it to others, so that he could rest assured, and at the same time asked him to take care of Liu's mother more.

Boss Cheng is a principled boss, and he doesn't get to the bottom of it, just sighs.

"Okay, Xiaodan, give Liu's mother a number."

"Yes, boss."

Liu's mother sorted out her baggage, Boss Cheng's eyes swept over, and saw a roll of paper that was not very smooth, and she was a little curious, Liu's mother was illiterate, and she still carried paper, which was really strange.

"Mother Liu, is this the paper you bought? Why use it? ”

"Alas, my grandson may be able to use it after taking it back and putting it away, and the paper will be quite expensive if you buy it."

"No, I just saw some of them that seem to be stained with ink, didn't I write on the other side?"

"There are some words, but they don't get in the way, and I will tear them up and burn them as firewood."

"What! When the firewood is burned, I don't know how to respect the word paper at all, can the paper with words be burned? ”

"Hehe, we are illiterate, you are literate and full of words, don't you just say throw it away, we can still use it as firewood?"

"You... You really are. ”

Boss Cheng couldn't see that the paper with words was so spoiled by Liu's mother, and he snorted angrily.

"Give me your undignified paper, I'll give you two taels of silver, which is enough for you to buy paper and pen."

"Okay, that's all for you."

Liu's mother took out a roll of paper from her baggage and handed it to Boss Cheng.

Boss Cheng took it.

"Xiaodan, where's Mama Liu's silver? Give her two more knots. ”

"Yes, boss."

Xiaoshan took the silver and handed it to Boss Cheng, who took it and said angrily.

"Mother Liu, do you count?"

"Can't I believe you become the boss? The whole street is the most trustworthy for you. ”

Although Liu's mother said this, she counted it in her hand.

"That's enough, Boss Cheng, thank you."

Mother Liu held the heavy silver, not to mention how happy she was, but she didn't expect that she would be able to make a fortune in the end.

Boss Cheng was holding the paper he had just bought from Liu's mother and was about to untie the rope, when Xiao Shan asked on the side.

"Boss, since we sold out the stock of fine embroidery, business has been much bleaker."

Boss Cheng looked at the much deserted store in front of him and said, "I have displayed all the reasons, you can send it to the owner." ”

Boss Cheng said and turned around and took out the fold on the side.

Xiaoshan heard Boss Cheng tell him to send something, quickly took off the tablecloth on his shoulder and put it aside, and then went to the counter to get a fold, Boss Cheng was opening the paper bought from Liu's mother at this time, and before he had time to take a closer look, he saw a distinguished guest at the door.

He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but he hadn't seen a distinguished guest for a few days, and he was in a hurry to take the paper he wanted to see just now in his hand, and he rolled it up awkwardly and carried it behind his back.

"Honorable guest, please come here."

At this time, Xiaoshan walked by, Boss Cheng directly grabbed him, and the roll of paper was directly placed on the folding, Xiaoshan didn't understand, and shouted.

"Boss Cheng, this ......"

"I'm going to get you something."

Xiaoshan looked at the roll of paper that the boss put on it, touched his head, and didn't get entangled, just replied.

"Yes, boss."

Boss Cheng didn't know that because of the roll of paper he bought casually, it would make this peaceful Ancheng lively again.
