Chapter 44: The Wife
Sun Shaozu knew about the Xianwei Building on Jian'an Road, so he didn't have much effort to find the February Spring next to the Xianwei Building.
At this moment, it is still early, and most of the shops along the street are still closed, but the doors of this February spring are open, and I think the shops are inside.
Sun Shaozu dismounted at the door, fixed for a moment, and then walked in.
Inside the room, the tables were bright and clean, several large desks were full of various colors of cloth and paper, along the walls were horses of various colors, and in the northernmost corner was a counter, an old man in a green shirt about sixty years old, wearing a pair of glasses, was checking the cuffs of a garment.
He felt a look of surprise on his face when he felt someone enter, and then he stepped out to meet him.
"Morning, guest officer, you're comingβ"
Before Zhang Quan finished speaking, Sun Shaozu had already asked hurriedly: "You guys here, is there an embroidery girl surnamed Jia?" β
As soon as he said this, Zhang Quan immediately guessed that he was afraid that Yingchun's husband's family would come to the door, he groaned for a while, and then came: "Old man, there is only one female gentleman surnamed Li, and there has never been any embroidery girl surnamed Jia-"
"Is that Mr. Li there, take me to see it!" Sun Shaozu didn't wait for Zhang Quan to finish speaking, so he interrupted him eagerly.
Zhang Quan couldn't tell whether the comer was good or evil at the moment, thought about it, and said: "Mr. Li will explain an important job to my granddaughter, and he will go home when the work is done. β
"No, no need, she said she was going home when she was done?" Sun Shaozu asked with a look of disbelief.
"Yes, Mr. Li said that something happened at home, but she said that she had already received a deposit from Lord Yin Xia of Jingzhao Mansion, and she was going to dress Mrs. Xia today, so after the work was done, she was going to rush back." Zhang Quan said, looking at the look of the comer.
"What kind of deposit, I paid double for her, where is she at the moment?" Sun Shaozu said irritably.
Zhang Quan can basically be sure that the person who came at this moment is Yingchun's husband Undoubtedly, he heard Yingchun say that her father-in-law was extremely rough and harsh to her, at this moment he saw that Sun Shaozu was born burly and strong, and his tone was impatient, he was extremely worried, and wanted to delay time, but he felt that it didn't work, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
Sun Shaozu saw that the old man was talking, and he always looked involuntarily inside, and he had already guessed a few points in his heart, since Zhang Quan didn't say anything, he was impatient to deal with the old man here, and walked towards the door.
"Alas!" Zhang Quan looked at Sun Shaozu's back and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
The small door was at the end of a passage full of fabrics, Sun Shaozu walked quickly to the door, and saw that the door was empty, and there was an intermittent voice of a woman speaking from inside.
Sun Shaozu no longer doubted, and as soon as his hand pushed, the door squeaked open.
But I saw Yingchun sitting on a table in front of the window, holding a carbon pen in his hand, and was explaining to a girl next to him, while drawing something on the paper.
Her hair was slightly messy, the left side of her face was still swollen high, and a red palm print was clearly visible.
Yingchun heard the movement outside the door, raised his head and saw Sun Shaozu standing at the door, and couldn't help pausing slightly.
"Mr. Li-" Xiao Liu'er beside Yingchun also saw Sun Shaozu standing at the door, and was stunned, seeing Yingchun's expression, he also roughly guessed who it was.
"Ignore him, you listen to me first." Yingchun lowered his head and forced himself to be calm, just wanting to finish explaining the pattern in his hand to Xiaoliu before Sun Shaozu dragged him away.
"Mrs. Xia is petite, and she is not suitable for wearing such a one-color long dress, but she is better at having slender lower limbs and a tight waist, so we want to emphasize the belt here with this pattern, so that the whole will look particularly curvaceous."
"Although Mrs. Xia looks gentle and polite, but in fact she has a cold temperament and does not like to talk much, the lines of this neckline and sleeves can be compact and smooth, with this single pearl earring, it will look noble and not cold."
She gestured on the paper with a pen as she spoke, the time of one stick of incense passed, and the time of another stick of incense passed, but Sun Shaozu always stood at the door, never stepping into the threshold half a step.
Yingchun finally finished telling Xiao Liu'er about this manuscript, then put down the pen and paper, raised his eyes, and saw that Sun Shaozu was still standing there, I don't know what he had in mind, I couldn't help frowning, and then said to Xiao Liu'er: "Mrs. Xia's shirt, you can cut it according to this pattern, and the skirts of other young ladies and wives-" Yingchun said here, but he couldn't go on.
It was Li Lai who was able to escape today and was guarded by Li Lai, who saw that Song Ming was asleep, so he opened the back window and let Yingchun slip away quietly, but Sun Shaozu naturally would not let her have such a chance in the future.
When Xiao Liu'er saw Yingchun like this, her eyes were red, and her tears seemed to be falling.
Yingchun sighed, said no more, and walked towards the door.
When she came to Sun Shaozu, she lowered her head, looked away, and said in a low voice: "I'll go back with you, don't make trouble here." β
At the moment, she is only worried that Sun Shaozu is like being at home again, and if she smashes it in this store, it will be bad.
When Sun Shaozu heard her say this, his face immediately turned red with anger.
"Why do you always think of me so badly!" He yelled at her.
It's just that as soon as she said this, when she saw the scars on her face, she lost her temper again.
"Why didn't you tell me last night that you were working here?" Sun Shaozu asked in a low voice with a little annoyance.
Yingchun glanced up at him, and said with a sneer: "How did I know that Lord Sun convicted me of a capital crime with a sachet, besides," Yingchun's eyes suddenly darkened: "My lord will definitely not let me come here again in the future, what is the difference between this and condemning me to death." β
Thinking that he might have to be trapped in Sun's Mansion in the future, waiting for him to write a letter of resignation and make Jiafu a scandal known all over the city, his heart was extremely gloomy.
Sun Shaozu couldn't stop looking at Yingchun, and after a while, he finally said: "The recently famous Li Xiuniang in this store is you?" β
"Don't dare, it's down there." A cold and smug smile loomed on Yingchun's face.
"Lian Xing's dress, you actually made it?" Sun Shaozu frowned and looked at Yingchun, as if he was angry and helpless.
"Uh-huh, are you still satisfied?" When it comes to that skirt, Yingchun is even more proud. It was one of the masterpieces she had worked so.
"You!" Sun Shaozu was so angry at the moment that he didn't know how to speak: "Why are you doing this?" β
"I want to let the people in my house have no worries about food and clothing, and I want to save enough for the seven thousand taels of silver to pay back to the adults." Yingchun said with a light smile.
"Nonsense! It's a pipe dream! You give me home right now! The anger in Sun Shaozu's stomach was finally completely ignited.
After he said this, he grabbed Yingchun's arm and pulled her to stride out.
Yingchun wanted to break away, but he was relieved by half a point, and after a while, he was pulled to the door by Sun Shaozu.
At this time, the market has long been lively, with people coming and going, bustling.
Februarychun also ushered in a few customers, but when they saw that Li Xiuniang was dragged out by a man with an embarrassed face, they were all stunned and stopped in amazement.
Yingchun's face was ashamed, so he had to whisper: "I'll go back with you, you let go!" β
Sun Shaozu glanced at her and snorted, where to put it.
"Madame's daughter is first-class, and this escape kung fu is also first-class, so I won't be fooled by you." After that, he still clenched Yingchun's arm until he came to the horse.
He dragged Yingchun onto the horse, and when she was seated, he took the reins and strode towards Sun's mansion.
