Chapter 139: Illusion
Qin Chuxue did not reply to Zeng Rong immediately, but stared at Zeng Rong and thought.
Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, the royal relatives and nobles, a hundred years of honor; Zeng Rong, a country girl, an embroidery girl in the embroidery workshop, what kind of small festival will happen between the two parties who are so different?
That's what she thought and asked.
Zeng Rong didn't hide it from her, and learned her and the Wang family's festival again, first inadvertently offended the Wang sisters, then refused to enter the Wang family to be a maid, and then Mrs. Xu received Mrs. Wang's post, and the two housekeepers of the Wang family went to the embroidery workshop again to find her, as well as the gold coin and the three teenagers.
According to Amei's relay, five days after Zeng Rong entered the palace, Yu Yunqing personally went to the Wang family with a few tricks to ask for guilt, and took out the gold coin that the Wang family gave Zeng Rong.
When Mrs. Wang learned that Zeng Rong had entered the palace as an embroiderer, she didn't believe it at first, or she couldn't figure it out.
If the Xu family wants to send a chess piece into the palace, there is a better arrangement, and there is no need to be a female worker, then it will not be able to get out.
But if it wasn't the Xu family's idea, how could a girl from the countryside think of entering the palace? And what do you want to do? What's the point of that? Not to mention that you don't earn much, people are not comfortable, this time, how can you marry a good family when you come out in the future?
Could it be to avoid their royal family?
Or is that girl deceived and doesn't know what's at stake?
It's a pity that Mrs. Wang couldn't ask for any valuable news from Yu Yunqing's mouth, Yu Yunqing only said that Zeng Rong took the initiative to go, and she couldn't do it with the letter of guarantee issued by the Xu family, after all, the owner of Jinxiufang was the second wife of the Xu family, and she was just a small shopkeeper.
Mrs. Wang naturally didn't believe this, but Yu Yunqing didn't say it, she couldn't force her.
Besides, it's just a country girl, and it's not worth her to spend any effort, let alone ruin the reputation of the Wang family for this kind of person, so Mrs. Wang gave up asking Yu Yunqing.
The Wang family didn't ask for the gold bill, so they gave it to Yu Yunqing casually, and Mrs. Wang didn't make it difficult for Yu Yunqing, she picked one from the patterns brought by Yu Yunqing, saying that it was enough to let Yu Yunqing look at and arrange an embroidery girl.
These words were told to her by Amei last night, and they were also relayed to her by visiting Yu Yunqing this time, the reason why she didn't say last month was that she was afraid that there would be any follow-up on Mrs. Wang's side, but now that two months have passed, seeing that there is no movement on the Wang family's side, Yu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief.
And Amei saw that Zeng Rong was busy with this regular dress in black and white for a few days, and he didn't dare to disturb her, until the work was handed over last night, so he told her.
"There are also Wang family members among those three teenagers?" Qin Chuxue asked.
"There should be, right? I'm not sure, the one who came alone later was from the Zhenguo Mansion, and it was his own home, and it was not easy for the shopkeeper to guess the identities of the two people, and it was not normal to point out that he was looking for me as soon as he came. Zeng Rong didn't dare to say that he knew Wang Fan, and he couldn't explain it.
"How old is that young lady of the Wang family?"
"The eldest one should be about my age, and the younger one is only eight or nine years old, right? I don't quite know. ”
"That's why you entered the palace?" Qin Chuxue remembered the conversation between the two on the night Zeng Rong was sick, Zeng Rong said that she had people she wanted to protect, and there were people who wanted to avoid her, and she was still very puzzled at that time, what could be the Xu family was still uneven.
It turned out to be the Wang family.
The queen's maiden family, the noble Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the Xu family does not have to retreat.
No, this is not called retreat, isn't the harem still up to the Wang family? Isn't this the same as sending sheep directly into the tiger's mouth? What is the difference between this and entering the royal family?
"Is it your own idea to enter the palace or the Xu family's idea?" Qin Chuxue continued to interrogate.
"My own, I heard from the shopkeeper that the Shanggong Bureau was selecting people, I asked her to sign me up, and I went to ask Mrs. Xu as a guarantor, the old lady was reluctant at first, saying that she had talked to Mrs. Wang, I was her distant relative, and Mrs. Wang also promised not to embarrass me, I don't need to enter the palace. But then the Wang family came to me again, not to say to buy, but to borrow for some time, plus the three sons, I don't want to embarrass the Xu family again and again. ”
"In that case, why do you have to tell the Wang family that you have entered the palace? Wouldn't it be better to just say that you go back to your hometown? Qin Chuxue still couldn't understand Zeng Rong's approach, and always felt that the whole thing was strange, and the problem was either Zeng Rong or the Xu family.
"I originally planned to do so, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to lie, she was afraid of offending the Wang family, after all, I came out of the embroidery workshop, and I could know it by asking."
This reason was said in the past, Qin Chuxue pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Then did you think about it before entering the palace, if the queen finds you, what should you do?" ”
Zeng Rong shook his head, and then nodded, "I heard that the palace maids of the Shanggong Bureau are not mixed with the palace maids of the inner palace, and the queen should not come to embarrass my little embroidery girl, but this time I am famous for doing regular clothes, I, I am not sure." ”
"If you knew it was so, you shouldn't..." Qin Chuxue originally said that Zeng Rong should not take the embroidery job, but then she thought about it, it was the pattern she ordered Zeng Rong to paint, and Liu Chunmiao must have suspected something before she asked Zeng Rong to embroider the dress, so if she was wrong, she also had her share
"I don't want to take it either, but I don't dare not listen to Aunt Liu's words." Zeng Rong guessed what the other party hadn't finished speaking.
What is this, is it a sign of faithfulness?
"You trust me a lot, can I ask why?" Qin Chuxue asked with a twelve-point caution.
Zeng Rong had to think about this problem, she didn't mean to stand in line at first, she just had doubts in her heart, and wanted to find someone to solve it, and at the same time wanted to use her age advantage to explore the details of Qin Chuxue, but she thought it was too simple after all, where could Qin Chuxue be easily calculated?
"It's hard to say, maybe it's the chicken leg at the beginning, and the care in the illness, and then the diet for this month, I think, even if my mother is alive, it's just that."
The last sentence Zeng Rong said with some emotion, she couldn't feel what her mother's love was in two lives, and Qin Chuxue was the only person she could give her this illusion, so she took a gamble.
Thankfully, she was right.
The last sentence poked at the softness of Qin Chuxue's heart, for so many years, she was used to indifference, disguise, loneliness, and calculation, her kindness to Zeng Rong was mixed with her own selfishness, but this child actually said that she felt her mother's care from her.
After fighting in the palace for so many years, she can still distinguish between true feelings and false intentions, so she was moved by Zeng Rong at this moment.
It seems that this child was really sent by God to save her, is it providence?
But what should she do? What can I do to protect her and help myself?
Qin Chuxue was embarrassed.
