Chapter 40: Tailor Zhao Jiuniang (2)
Zhao Jiuniang didn't speak immediately, but got up and went to the inside of the house, took out the tea she had treasured for a long time, and ordered the girl she was waiting for to bring hot water, quietly and seriously made a cup of tea for Mo Yuan, and then handed it to Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan took the tea and thanked him, but he didn't drink it, his face was unwavering, cold and detached, in fact, he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
Zhao Jiuniang also poured herself a cup of tea, and then sat opposite Mo Yuan. She understood that Mo Yuan was a taciturn person, and she no longer forced him to speak, but just told herself.
"Childe must have heard some of my stories, the past of Zhao Jiuniang, the first skillful hand, was indeed no secret when the city was full of turmoil."
"I don't know if the son usually likes to watch dramas, the first half of Zhao Jiuniang's life is a living drama book, even the ending is the same, the infatuation is negative, the heart is like ashes, and finally chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river."
"The story that Childe heard from other people's mouths should be like this, right?" When Zhao Jiuniang said this, she sneered twice self-deprecatingly, but there was a loss between her eyebrows and eyes that could not be concealed.
"Childe, believe it or not, although Zhao Jiuniang will be deeply in love, disheartened, and grief-stricken, she will never despise her life, especially not to end her life for such a scumbag, she has spent more than ten years for that man, how can she even give the rest of her life to that person for a funeral, he is not worthy at all!"
The more Zhao Jiuniang talked, the more excited she became, over the years, although she always told herself that the cowardly and incompetent Zhao Jiuniang was dead, now she was just a girl in the clouds.
But...... But she still can't do it, every time she hears people talk about how the infatuated Zhao Jiuniang is amazingly talented, how she was betrayed and betrayed, and how she ended her life, she can't be calm, she can't be calm.
The stories written by literati and ink writers are always so sad and emotional, that as long as people mention her, their eyes will be full of pity and pity, and whenever this happens, she can't help but want to argue, but if she can live, how can she end her own life? She was a proud person, and her pride would never allow her to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river.
"I ...... In fact...... It was he who was killed, and it was he and the woman who pushed me into the river with their own hands. β
"It was winter, and the river was not frozen, but it was bitterly cold, and they expected that I, if not drowned, would have been frozen to death by the river."
"I don't know if that woman has seen his true face clearly, but one thing is certain, that woman's heart is ruthless, absolutely far from him, a gorgeously dressed and decent, extravagant girl, no matter how you look at her family background, she is either rich or expensive, but she has such a cruel and vicious heart, pushing me down the river, it is his long-term plan, and it is also her wanton behavior."
"Childe, you must also be curious, what is the reason why they have to put me to death, right? It's ridiculous to think about, one is my fiancΓ© who grew up with my childhood sweetheart, although our family is poor, but I want him to be famous, save money, get up early and be greedy, provide him with education, take care of his daily life, and work hard. But a person like him, after he became famous, hooked up with a young lady, and began to fear that my existence would block his way, and tried every means to get rid of me, my existence became a thorn in his heart, and only by pulling it out could he be comfortable. β
"As for the other, hehe, the young lady of the official family, she should be knowledgeable and knowledgeable and discerning, but she is a delicate and willful, she will come to me because my tailoring skills are famous, and the girl who loves beauty is naturally attracted to clothes and jewelry and other things, and the reason why that man can make this young lady who is above the top of her eyes is because the clothes he wears are made by me myself."
"On the day he returned, I closed the shop early and went home, prepared food for him, and washed the dust for him. I spent a whole year on that dress to be able to complete the dress given to him before he returned, and it was arguably the most satisfying piece of my life. β
"That dress, that's the one that Childe is wearing now."
"After more than ten years of waiting, I finally waited for him to return, and when he came back to marry me, at that time, I was not young, nineteen years old, in ordinary people's homes, I was already a mother of several children."
"But I never imagined that his return would be a bolt from the blue for me, the beginning of a nightmare. I greeted him with joy, but when he returned with a beautiful woman, the same age as the woman, the birds by his side, watching their intimacy, this is undoubtedly a irony of my efforts over the years. β
"Sadness, loss, despair, resentment, of course, there are, I even want to kill their dog man and woman, but although I, Zhao Jiuniang, love him and hate him, I will not be depressed and look for death and life. I chose to leave and no longer live for this man, Zhao Jiuniang can still live well without him, and can even live freely and unrestrained. β
"I quickly packed my bags and prepared to leave. But I didn't get out as I wanted, and the dog man and woman hired a bunch of people and imprisoned me, and I realized that there are some things that I can't do without care, and their hearts are far darker than I thought, and from beginning to end, their purpose is not to force me to leave, but to ......"
"Instead, I was asked to design clothes for that woman, the workmanship is exquisite, the style is unique, the design is unparalleled in the world, of course I don't want to, I have tolerated the betrayal of this dog man and woman, and have chosen to back down, but they will not let me go."
"I will not compromise, my tailoring skills are the greatest pride of my life, it is like my dignity, it will never be violated, no matter what means they use against me, I will not compromise."
"Three months! Three whole months! In the dark room, I suffered all kinds of tortures every day, and their patience was exhausted little by little, and finally in the afternoon of that day, they could not bear it anymore, one had been planning for a long time, the other was angry, and two pairs of ugly hands pushed me into the cold water. β
"If it weren't for Sanniang's rescue, Jiuniang would probably have been in a different place, but my hands are still useless after all, tortured and soaked in cold water, these hands are wasted, and I will tremble when I pick up the needle and thread. Zhao Jiuniang's craftsmanship has also passed away with my passing. β
"Nowadays, no one in this place knows Zhao Jiuniang, and her story has only become a topic of conversation after dinner, and people are more inclined to Zhao Jiuniang, who is infatuated and martyred for love, rather than Zhao Jiuniang, who would rather die than be arrogant, and commit suicide by throwing herself into the river for a negative man, which is the biggest insult to me!"
Zhao Jiuniang was very emotional, my hand holding the teacup was extraordinarily hard, if it wasn't for the tea in the teacup being cold, I am afraid that she would not notice it if she was burned.
Zhao Jiuniang calmed down her emotions and said, "Childe, look at what I said so much, it's very boring." But Jiuniang just wants people to know, even if only one person knows, Zhao Jiuniang did not commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, but did not want to be humiliated, thank you Gongzi, I fulfilled Jiuniang's wish, from now on, I will only do Yingge wholeheartedly. β
Mo Yuan's cheeks flushed, the first time he was said thank you by someone other than Yin Lingyue, he was a little cramped, obviously he didn't do anything.
Yingge waited for Mo Yuan to tell her his opinion, or take the initiative to say something about him, in order to be able to break through his defense, she had already put her heart in her heart and put herself clearly in front of him, he shouldn't be guarding her like that anymore, right?
It's a pity that Yingge was destined to be disappointed, and Mo Yuan didn't say anything after listening to her story.
Yingge couldn't help but want to ask, what is this person's heart made of, so indestructible and difficult to shake, Yingge has no choice but to take the initiative to ask.
Yingge asked some inconsequential questions, seemingly inadvertently, but every question was asking Mo Yuan's net worth background, from beginning to end, Mo Yuan was just eating quietly, without saying a word, Yingge was treated coldly, Mo Yuan finally finished eating the last bit of rice in his bowl, looked at Yingge, and said that he had finished eating. After eating a meal, Yingge felt that she was about to doubt her life.
"Yingge girl, Yueyue is still waiting for me, I'll go first."
Mo Yuan put down his chopsticks elegantly, and regardless of Yingge's reaction, he left without looking back.
Yingge and the four maidservants who were left in the room were dumbfounded, obviously they had never seen someone like Mo Yuan.
This embarrassing dinner, with Mo Yuan's departure, finally came to an end, and in the end, Mo Yuan said this sentence was probably the longest sentence he heard by Yingge.
