Chen Ping's daughter-in-law sat on the embroidery pier uneasily, although the little flower concubine in front of her smiled and spoke gently and tactfully, but her heart was "suddenly" beating hard.

"The side concubine Niangniang, the slave maid is afraid that the little county lord will wake up to find the slave maid, so it is better for the slave maid to come again one day to teach the maid to draw tricks. "This morning she had to go back home, and as soon as she came back and entered the back door, she was stopped by the people who closed the Ju Pavilion, and she was coerced here, saying that the little flower concubine wanted to embroider the screen, and knew that she was good at drawing patterns, so she came to teach.

She had just moved her ass away from the pier when Qiushuang pressed her down, "Sister Chang, what are you in a hurry, the little county lord has been crying all night, where are you asleep at this time." You can stay here with peace of mind, if the big flower concubine comes to find it for a while, our master will personally explain to her that the big flower side concubine will not blame you. ”

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law's surname is Chang, and after she got married, she followed her man's name, because she was the nurse of the little county lord, and her status was different from that of ordinary maids, and those who respected her were called Sister Chang.

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law became more and more apprehensive in her heart, but when it came to this, she had no choice but to sit down.

Jiao Niang's screen is embroidered with peonies, peonies symbolize wealth, she wants nine peony flowers of different shapes, with large green leaves. She just likes the appearance of flowers and cooking oil.

The pattern of peony flowers is good to say, and the usual small objects are always embroidered with some flowers and grass, and it is not difficult to enlarge them on the screen.

It's just that the green leaves are not so simple, and I want it to bring out the gorgeous peony, but it can't be completely ignored, and there is a sense of realism blown by the wind blowing the green leaves, which is really not easy to depict.

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law is a careful person, because of this carefulness, the female celebrity is particularly outstanding. Even Sister Yu'er's usual things are made by her, such as the small belly pocket worn by Sister Yu'er, the patterns on her shoes, and the Yingluo hanging on her neck, all of which are made by her.

She took the brush and sketched the edges of the leaf little by little, and even every vein on the leaf was clearly visible.

Jiao Niang straightened up, looked at her lightly, and said with a smile: "My sister really picked up a treasure, and only gave you the salary of being a nurse, and even saved the salary of the embroidery girl." ”

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law smiled implicitly and said: "How can the slave maid be as good as the mother said, but usually the little master sleeps, and the slave and maid are idle, so they do these needlework to save the rustiness." ”

"But I look at the things on the little county lord are very exquisite, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort, you, you really love the little county lord. Shui Xiang came back from outside, took an account book and handed it to Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang opened a few eyes, and Shui Xiang whispered a few words in her ear.

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law raised her head slightly, she smiled shyly, with a pair of deep dimples on her face, she looked like a simple character, "The little county lord is cute and beautiful, but it hurts." ”

"Yes, who doesn't like it when you see it?" Jiao Niang sighed quietly, "It's just that the little county lord's illness is not getting better now, it's really worrying." ”

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law had a thick wound between her eyebrows, as if the ink had been accidentally stained with water, and she couldn't erase it if she wanted to, "Little county lord, she-" She wanted to speak and stopped, her voice was full of distress, "She shouldn't suffer this sin." ”

Jiao Niang looked at her for a long time and said, "The back house is competing for favor, and the child should not be involved." ”

"Yes, the little county lord is innocent. Chen Ping's daughter-in-law followed Jiao Niang's words and said, and when she finished speaking, she was shocked and lost her words, and hurriedly changed her words, "That's not what the slave meant." ”

"Then what do you mean?" Jiao Niang's eyebrows immediately appeared, "The little county lord is innocent, so who is not innocent, is it you or your master?"

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law's face turned pale, and she knelt down in a hurry, burying her head deep in front of her clothes, "The slave really doesn't understand the words of Concubine Xiaohua. ”

Jiao Niang snorted slightly, "You understand." She leaned lazily on the pillow, "Tell me, how did you make the little county lord cry every night?"

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law shook her head like a rattle, "Where did the side concubine hear such ridiculous words-"

"If you don't say it, then I'll help you say it. Jiao Niang didn't want to waste time, "Your husband Chen Ping is a gambler, usually lazy and lazy, not doing business, and you support the family." ”

"You also have a son under your knees, as old as Sister Yu'er, he is less than three months old, and you went into the house to nurse Sister Yu'er. The big flower concubine is not bad to you, and she gives a lot of silver rewards, but gambling is a bottomless pit, and your little money can't catch up with him and lose it like water. ”

Jiao Niang picked up the account book sent by Shui Xiang, turned the page by page and compared it with her fingers, "But just more than half a month ago, suddenly one day, someone helped him pay off his gambling debts and gave him a considerable amount of silver. But the interesting thing is that he didn't show any distress or worry at all, and also declared to the public that someone gave him money to gamble, and he wanted as much as he wanted. ”

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law's throat was dry, and she said tremblingly: "Don't believe this, Niangniang, he is crazy about gambling, the money before was because he went to work on the construction site and broke his leg, and people lost it, he is a dreamer, and people will support him for a lifetime." ”

"I didn't know how much your husband's leg was worth. Jiao Niang handed the account book to her with a "bang", "Look at it, I remember it clearly, every account is very detailed, in the past half a month alone, he has lost 1,350 taels." Whether your husband's legs are inlaid with gold or silver, I'm afraid his life is not worth this zero on the head. ”

Chen Ping's daughter-in-law's knees weakened, she sat on the ground in a dejected manner, and muttered: "Three hundred and fifty taels, three hundred and fifty taels, this is not my life, how can I have so much money to pay him back." ”

"It turned out that I gave you a thousand taels, which is not a small amount, enough for your family to live a prosperous life. Jiao Niang's smile was reflected on the tea with a few pieces of Biluochun floating, "But I don't know if you can use this money to live a life with peace of mind, it is in exchange for the unspeakable pain of the little county lord." ”

As soon as the words fell, she raised her hand and poured a full cup of tea on Chen Ping's daughter-in-law's face, and her color suddenly appeared, "She is blind and she is calling you one by one, she is so dependent on you, but you treat her like this." You are also a mother, aren't you afraid that these things will be retributed to your son!"

Jiao Niang's words were like an arrow that shot out, breaking through her last line of defense, Chen Ping's daughter-in-law was ashamed, covered her face and cried bitterly, "I know I'm sorry for the little county lord, watching her cry in my arms, my heart is like a knife, how many times I can't bear it, but I can't help it, if I can't get the money back, he will sell my son, and he will sell me into the kiln." ”

The collar on her chest was deformed by her clutch, she cried heartbreakingly, and pounded her chest, "I know I'm not human, I'm not human, but I really can't help it, I don't want to hurt the little county lord, she cries and I cry with her, she hurts me more than her, she is also my child." ”

Jiao Niang wiped away the mist surging from the corners of her eyes, turned her face to the side, sighed, and said, "But there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy." ”
