Chapter 121: Hypocrisy
That night, after the meal, everyone got some ingredients.
The shops in the town sell handkerchiefs and purses and the like are not a big deal, but the clothes are rather distributed to everyone to make clothes than sell here, and they were negotiated when they signed the agreement with Cao Xu, and Wanxing Silk Village is exclusive.
Although these materials were picked out by Ah Xiu, they were as happy as if they had picked up treasures for Chang Pingping, after all, they had never seen such gorgeous clothes before.
The next day, the embroidery workshop was closed, and Chang took people into the city to deliver goods.
When the carriage went to Cao's mansion, Cao Xu had been waiting for a long time.
There are not many goods, but they are exquisite.
Cao Xu looked at it and became more and more curious about the mysterious embroiderer.
Obviously, she not only knows all kinds of stitching methods of the Zhuo family, but also knows how to manage the embroidery girl in her hands.
Such a person Cao Xu guessed that he was either one of the two major stewards of the Zhuo family at the beginning, or the Zhuo family.
Recently, I got Zhuo's embroidery in my hand, and Cao Xu also made a special trip to inquire.
There is no one in the Zhuo family except for an eight or nine-year-old girl, and I heard that the girl lives in He Mansion now, and it is impossible to come to these places, so most of the people behind it are the big stewards who disappeared without a trace with a needle.
Thinking like this, Cao Xu wanted to see the person behind him even more.
But he also knew that if it was Nayang Steward, he would definitely not show up easily, because there were too many people looking for him.
After calculating the accounts of the first two months from the shopkeeper Liu, Chang handed him another list, all of which were confessed by Ah Xiu when he left, and most of them were clothes.
They don't need to help deliver these anymore, the last time the ingredients haven't been used up yet, they will come and pick them up in the middle of the month.
Out of Cao's Mansion, Chang found a place to eat, and then went to Yuanminglou to get some ordinary ingredients.
The cloth was picked, and Chang saw that the shopkeeper surnamed Xu was there, so he asked him about the news of his husband.
Song Er has only been gone for almost a month, and if it doesn't go well, he will come back.
Shopkeeper Xu heard that she was the wife of Shopkeeper Song, and he didn't hide anything, but all he could know was when Song Ercai left here, the caravan he was with, and the route along the way, and he didn't know later.
"Madam, Gandhi has a long way to go, and it is almost inconvenient to come and go back and forth, and it is windy and rainy on the road and delayed a few times. You don't have to worry, I introduced a person to help him escort the car, and nothing will happen. ”
Shopkeeper Xu comforted her, and Chang nodded that it was nothing, but she was still worried in her heart.
Back in town, Chang also mentioned this matter to the two children, but they were all picked up.
At the end of the month, Xiu Mu passed in a flash, and this morning, Song Tian got up in the dark and was about to pack up and go to the school, Chang came in and took out a set of newly made cotton clothes and pants for him to wear.
It's frosty outside, and it's so cold that people's hands hurt.
Song Tian folded his hands and went to the door, it was still dark.
Pang Zimo was already waiting for him outside, carrying a paper lantern with an orange-yellow glow in his hand.
The two of them shrunk their necks to go to the school, and as soon as they entered the teaching house, Song Tian received a lot of envious eyes, for no other reason, Song Tian entered the first class in the month-end exam last month.
There has never been a student like him who has entered the first class again and again in the academy, which is naturally enviable.
At noon, Song Tian asked Pang Zimo to go to the bulletin board to copy the question paper, but before he could find a good position, he saw his eldest aunt Zhou coming here with Song Hong carrying a bag of rice and grain.
The two looked like they were going to the cafeteria to exchange tickets, but the bruises on Song Hong's face had not disappeared, her appearance was very ugly, and her walking seemed to be a little crooked.
It's really embarrassing for him to be injured like this and go to school.
Song Tian turned around, but he didn't see the two of them.
Song Hong in the distance was smiling, he went to school with an injury, not because of hard work, but because he didn't want to miss the show.
The mother and son walked to the bottom of the corridor and happened to meet Jiang Boyuan.
Song Hong was stunned for a moment, and was about to leave quickly with Zhou, so he stopped Zhang Shou.
"Brother Song? Brother Song! What's wrong with your face? It's ...... to give people."
Zhang Shou stepped forward a few steps to block Song Hong's way, looking at his unrecognizable face and trying to hold back a smile, his face turned red.
"Brother Zhang, don't laugh, you fell on the way home, I'm really ashamed to see people."
is in the same house, and it is necessary to see it sooner or later, Song Hong is not afraid that these people will look at his face, but he doesn't want them to see Zhou.
Zhou, dressed in gray and green clothes, is a typical village woman, with a yellow face, no ornaments on her head, and patches on her cloth shoes.
She carried half a bag of rice grain on her back with a bamboo basket, and when she saw her son talking to others, she knew that she was his classmate, and immediately interjected: "My brother Hong is just too lucky, and it is nothing to fall, but he fell into the pile of rocks in the ditch, and the old man was blind." ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she called her brother, and Jiang Boyuan and the others could naturally guess her identity, and they all gave up their hands and called her aunt.
Zhou didn't expect these polite students to be so polite, and he smiled and asked them if they were in a house.
A few people naturally said yes, and Zhou was even happier when he heard it, thinking that his son had been to a classmate's house before, and asked them to come to his house to play.
A few heads, when there is a chance, they will nag, and they will not be lively.
Song Hong kept smiling beside him, but he couldn't help it, pulled the hem of Zhou's clothes and said, "Mother, let's go to the cafeteria first, the food will be gone in a while." ”
Zhou patted his head and told Jiran to come to the village to play, and finally followed Song Hong.
The figure of the mother and son quickly disappeared, Zhang Shou's smile fell, and he said to Jiang Boyuan: "I thought his family was a rich family in the village. ”
After all, he is so generous, and he doesn't seem to be bad for money, and he usually talks about his family occasionally, and it seems that there are cattle on the land, and the family often hires helpers, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.
But just after seeing Zhou, it was obvious that the situation was not right. It's really how the rich family in the village is dressed so shabby, and it looks no different from the peasant woman working in the field.
Jiang Boyuan shook his head, nodded Zhang Shou's head and said, "You understand now, think about the wine that I invited you to before, it was all saved from his mouth and dug out of the ground by his family." ”
"You have to be so aware of the suffering, as if you didn't eat."
Zhang Shou laughed at him, Jiang Boyuan sighed: "How can I know that he was so hypocritical before, don't play with him in the future, those people don't have easy money." ”
"I also know that the children of the Hanmen are hard, but I can't complain about us, Brother Song didn't take it seriously."
Another person also said, "Yes." ”
At the cafeteria, when Song Hong came to the door, he didn't let Zhou in.
"Mother, go back quickly, I'll go in and exchange the ticket myself."
"Where to exchange the ticket, the thing is so heavy, my mother will help you, my heart flashed."
Zhou was about to go in, but Song Hong quickly pulled her.
"Mother, I just have an ugly face, but my hands and feet can still move."
Song Hong went to the bamboo basket to pick up the bag of coarse grain.
Zhou Shi Nai couldn't help it, so he had to turn sideways and put down the bamboo basket.
Song Hong tilted her body and took out the half bag of grain, but she didn't give it to Zhou's help.
"Brother Hong, are you not happy that your mother will send you in?"
