067, Xia Lian's Peach Blossom Tribulation (2)
The leg injury was faked, so Xia Lian refused her father's proposal to ask for a doctor, and pretended to rest for two days and said that she was fine.
Xia Lian's father and mother didn't doubt it, but when her daughter was out of breath in her ankle at the time, the blood flow was fine for the past two days, but they still suspected what Liu Jun did to her daughter, otherwise how could she explain that she had no memory of that day at all, and she would encounter human traffickers inexplicably?
After Xia Lianniang told Xia Lian the questions in her heart, Xia Lian frowned slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "Mother, I really can't remember the events of that day, maybe I was frightened so my memory was damaged, but it doesn't matter, when I have a good relationship with Qin Gongzi, wouldn't it be easy to deal with Liu Jun?" Let's just let them get away for a few more days! ”
Xia Lianniang felt that her daughter was reasonable, Qin Dong's family had a big business, rich and powerful, as long as her daughter could take him down, wouldn't it be easy to deal with Liu Jun's mud legs? So he smiled and straightened Xia Lian's hair, and said softly: "Lian'er is very right, then the mother wishes my baby daughter all her wishes!" ”
"That's nature." Xia Lian raised her head proudly, looking at her beautiful face in the bronze mirror, her heart was full of confidence.
Since you want to take down that Qin Gongzi, it is essential to thank him in person, and you can also take a look at how big his family business is.
Nishang Feather Jacket is the largest cloth shop in the town, which also makes finished clothes, because of its cheap and high-quality prices, so it has a good reputation and sales in the local area. However, his family also makes high-quality products, and there are professional tailors who tailor clothes for customers and make some unique designs, which often makes people feel refreshing, so most of the rich people in the town are frequent customers of his family.
Xia Lian arrived in the town at nearly noon.
In fact, she went out very early, but because only Lao Li Tou's family had an ox cart in the village, and Lao Li Tou had a good relationship with Liu Jun, she estimated that she couldn't borrow it if she went, so she walked a few miles of mountain roads, and met a car that happened to go to the town, so she gave money to let people take her a ride, so she delayed some time.
After arriving in the town, she immediately looked for the cloth shop called Ni Clothes and Feathers, because the family was not good, the whole family relied on Xia Lian's father to work as a carpenter to make a living, so she had never been to the town a few times, and even if she came, she followed her mother to buy the things she needed in a hurry and went back, how could she have the time and money to go shopping?
After asking a few passers-by, she finally found the cloth shop.
About fifty meters away from the cloth shop, she stopped, and looked at the atmospheric decoration of the store with a greedy gaze, as well as the four unrecognizable characters on the plaque that seemed to make people feel very stylish, which should be the name of the store - Ni Clothes and Feathers.
She hadn't read a book, so she naturally didn't know what allusions there were, but this did not prevent her from feeling that the name of this cloth shop was very high-end, and it was lofty in modern language.
Looking at the shop that occupies a large area and is decorated, and then looking down at her clean and beautiful clothes, which are still difficult to hide the childish spirit of a small family, she suddenly felt cowardly and didn't dare to step forward.
Just as she hesitated, a familiar voice sounded from behind her: "Miss Xia Lian? Are you here for me? ”
Xia Lian hurriedly turned around, and saw Qin Dong looking at her with a folding fan in his hand and smiling.
She was busy blessing Qin Dong, and said a little shyly: "Hello Qin Gongzi, I came to thank you on purpose." ”
As he spoke, he took out a delicate purse from his arms and handed it over, and continued: "The little girl's family is poor, and she has nothing to handle, so she embroidered a purse with peace and happiness for her son, and I hope that the son will not dislike it." ”
The purse is a personal item, but it is not something that can be sent casually, it is generally used for love tokens, Xia Lian is pretending that she does not know that she deliberately uses the purse to test Qin Dong, with Qin Dong's family background, it is impossible not to understand the metaphor of the purse, if you don't pick up yourself and then find a way, if you take it, it is also intentional to her.
Qin Dong's face was really stunned, and then he hesitated a little, and then his handsome face put on that warm smile again, reached out to take the purse, and said softly: "Then I will thank the girl, I will cherish it." ”
Xia Lian was relieved, it seemed that she had not guessed wrong, this Qin Gongzi really had intentions for herself, so she bowed her head shyly, pulled the handkerchief lightly with her bare hand, and said with a slight twist: "You're welcome, if you like it, I'll ...... I'll embroider it for you later. ”
Qin Dong looked at her with a tender look in his eyes, and raised his hand to invite: "This place is not suitable for talking, the girl must not have eaten yet, right?" If you don't mind, let's find a place to sit in a restaurant? ”
"It's all up to Childe's orders." How could Xia Lian mind, she wished that the two of them would be alone to enhance their relationship.
Qin Dong found a restaurant that looked good, and then directly asked for a private room on the second floor, and took Xia Lian upstairs.
In this era, unless there are husband and wife, there are few lonely men and widows who are alone in the closed private room, even if they are unmarried couples, in order to avoid suspicion, they have to bring their family and maids, so when the shopkeeper led them upstairs, he secretly glanced at Xia Lian with some disdain.
is still dressed as a yellow flower girl, but she follows a man who looks like a rich boy to the private room alone, either a vain attempt to turn a sparrow into a phoenix, or a person who doesn't know self-love.
However, he naturally didn't say these words in front of the two of them, but after sending them to the private room and closing the door to leave, he couldn't wait to complain to the other guys in the store.
Qin Dong was very bold and ordered a large table full of dishes, and Xia Lian was dazzled.
It's not that she didn't fantasize that she would marry into a wealthy family and live a comfortable life, but the location of the village was closed, and she had no chance to recognize those really rich people, so she lowered her standards, and looked at Liu Jun, who was still capable of hunting, and now that she met the rich son, the idea that had been extinguished was resurrected again.
Looking at Qin Dong, who had been looking at her with a smile on the other side, tasting the food with all the coloring and aroma, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart, that's right, this is the life she wants.
The ancients paid attention to eating without saying anything, Qin Dong was educated at a glance, so Xia Lian didn't dare to speak rashly, although the meal was quiet, but because the eyes of the two met from time to time, the atmosphere was good.
After the meal, Qin Dong did not rush to let Xiao Er settle the bill, but after taking a sip of the teacup, he looked at Xia Lian and said, "What are Miss Xia's preferences on weekdays?" ”
This is trying to understand her life and character, Xia Lian immediately evoked a charming smile, and replied: "The Zhuang family has no preferences at all, but my father and mother are more fond of me, so I have never done farm work, so I will do some female celebrity to pass the time." ”
This passage has two meanings, first, her father and mother dote on her very much, so she doesn't have to worry about family resistance when she is with her; Second, she is not one of those ordinary peasant girls, she has never done coolies, so her skin and figure are not out of shape, and she is good at female popularity.
Qin Dong is a person who knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the sound of the strings, and immediately heard the hidden meaning in her words, his joy was overflowing, his eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at Xia Lian, and said softly: "It seems too rusty to call you Miss Xia, so I will call you Lian'er, okay?" ”
When Xia Lian heard this, she immediately lowered her head shyly, and muttered in a voice comparable to the size of a mosquito: "As my son likes, my parents at home call me the same." ”
"Then don't call me any more Qin Gongzi, I'm a few years older than you, how about calling me Brother Qin?"
"Brother Qin."
Hearing Xia Lian's delicate and beautiful voice, Qin Dong couldn't help laughing loudly, and his right hand holding a folding fan patted his left hand a few times, and said, "Lian'er, I should have talked to you more, but there is still something in the shop today, so let's send someone to send you back in a carriage, and we will meet again in a few days, how about it?" ”
Xia Lian also wanted to stay with him for a while, but when she heard him say that there was something wrong with the store, she had to be generous, and hurriedly got up and said, "Then there will be Brother Lao Qin." ”
Qin Dong arranged a carriage, and asked people to take a few good fabrics from the cloth shop to Xia Lian, saying that they were for her and her mother, Xia Lian also pretended to refuse a few times, but seeing Qin Dong's resolute intentions, he had to accept it reluctantly, and after thanking him sincerely, he took the carriage back to the village.
Last time, someone in the village came back by carriage or Liu Jun and Liu Jiaojiao, but this time it was replaced by Xia Lian, and those people in the village who like to watch the excitement naturally gathered around and asked questions.
Xia Lianniang opened the door and walked out when she heard the movement outside, and saw her daughter standing next to a magnificent carriage, surrounded by the three aunts and six women in the village.
After scolding the group of three aunts and six women in a few words, she asked Xia Lian in a low voice: "Lian'er, didn't you go to the town to thank that Qin Gongzi?" What is this carriage? ”
Xia Lian patted her mother's hand soothingly, and then asked the little brother who drove the car to help move the pieces of cloth down, and stuffed a few copper coins to thank the little brother, and then waited for the carriage to leave, and then said to her mother: "Mother, let's move things in first, and I'll tell you later." ”
Xia Lianniang is a knowledgeable person, and she can see at a glance that the fabrics are not cheap, so she nodded happily again and again, carefully hugged the fabrics and went home, and did not forget to look vigilantly around to see if there were any people who wanted to see the excitement, and then closed the door.
