Chapter 49: Breaking the Siege
Xia Sihan pushed aside the crowd and walked over, seeing the surprise and disdain on Xia Yingchun's face, he smiled slightly and said: "Xia Shangshu is an official in the court, I'm afraid I can't imagine that my daughter will make him famous in this way in the market, right?" ”
"Who are you, planning to lose money for her?"
"The second lady has been promoted, I'm just an ordinary woman, how can I get these three hundred taels, but it's ......"
"If you don't have any money, what else are you going to do!" The maid looked like a sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed person, and she didn't let it go at all.
Xia Sihan didn't care about her, just looked at Xia Yingchun and persuaded: "There are no three hundred taels of little women, but I have seen this smoke and soft yarn, and it is the first time I have seen it like this on Miss." ”
As soon as Xia Sihan's words fell, he saw that Xia Yingchun's face suddenly turned white, but he still didn't admit it.
Xia Sihan didn't give her a chance to quibble, but just said to the surrounding visitors: "The Yanluo soft gauze fabric is light and breathable, soft and smooth to the touch, and mostly light-colored. This one on the second lady... Not to mention the color, the fabric alone is hard and rough to the touch, I think it shouldn't be a soft yarn, isn't it the second lady who was deceived by the people of the cloth village? ”
Xia Sihan quickly stepped forward and touched her clothes, and the startled Xia Yingchun hurriedly retreated, with a touch of anger on her face. Hearing her words again, Xia Yingchun's eyes flickered, so he became angry and said angrily: "Mandarin duck, this is the good fabric you bought!" ”
The maid on the side reacted quickly, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake, "Miss forgive me, the slave doesn't know that the cloth village is shoddy, and she will definitely go to seek justice when she turns around!" ”
Xia Sihan didn't want to watch their master and servant acting here, so she just asked: "Second Miss, it's not Yanluo soft yarn, so how much do you think she will lose?" ”
Xia Yingchun glared at Xia Sihan fiercely, clenched his fists and pretended to be generous: "In this case, there is no need to pay, mandarin duck, let's go!" Xia Yingchun turned around and left with a blushing face, and the people behind her were talking, she just wanted to leave quickly. Before leaving, she remembered Xia Sihan's appearance, this slut actually couldn't get off the stage on the spot, if she met again, she would never be spared!
And Xia Sihan saw her leave angrily, knowing that she was unhappy in her heart, but there were things that made her even more angry after this, and hoped that she could be prepared. turned his head to help the little girl up, but the little girl knelt down in front of Xia Sihan and expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you sister for saving me, Hongyu can't repay it, if my sister has something to find Hongyu in the future, Hongyu will definitely repay her."
Xia Sihan hurriedly helped her up, shook his head and said, "I helped you just because I couldn't get used to her bullying posture." The dignified Miss Shangshufu is really ashamed to blackmail people's money with shoddy goods! ”
When Xia Sihan said this, the people around her hadn't left yet, and they were already admired when they saw her as a woman daring to speak up, but now that they can hear her speak, they only feel very reasonable.
Xia Sihan took Hongyu down, and when she got out of the teahouse, she learned that Hongyu had been selling flowers here for a long time, but now that this incident happened, she still persuaded Hongyu not to stay here more before Xia Yingchun retaliated.
Hongyu's face was embarrassed, "Sister doesn't know, my family has been poor since I was a child, and I work several jobs by myself, if I don't sell flowers, I won't be able to open the pot at home." Now that I have provoked the second lady, although it is not easy to be afraid, there is no other way. ”
Xia Sihan also knew the hardships of life, and was about to comfort her, but saw that there was a small needle on her finger, so she asked, "How is your needlework?" ”
Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then blushed and said: "It's okay, I can also fill the household by selling embroidery every month, but it still hurts my eyes if I work hard." ”
In this way, Xia Sihan had an idea, "You don't have to come out to sell flowers again, tomorrow at this hour, you go to Sijin Garment opposite Tianxianglou in the city to find me, I will introduce you to an embroidery job, as long as you do it well, you will earn more than you now!" ”
Xia Sihan's words surprised Hongyu, and she hurriedly thanked her, and Xia Sihan also carefully instructed her to be careful, and only left when she was far away.
When she returned home, her mother-in-law had already prepared the meal, Xia Sihan felt a little guilty, and was busy explaining but was stopped by her mother-in-law. "Now that you are both busy with business, if you don't have time to cook in the future, you don't have to feel embarrassed, I have hands and feet, can I starve to death? Tomorrow you buy some chickens and ducks and come back to raise them, and I can still pass the time. ”
The mother-in-law's words reminded Xia Sihan, and she nodded hurriedly.
Li Jinyan didn't come back at noon today, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back to their rooms after eating, Xia Sihan hurriedly entered the space, and saw that the rabbits had already bred dozens of chickens and ducks, if they didn't deal with it, they would soon be unable to fit here.
Xia Sihan originally wanted to sell these in restaurants and make a little money. But if the garment shop improves in the future, food will not be missing. Now it's still going with the flow, but divide each area so that you don't waste this treasure in vain.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was disturbed at this time, Xia Sihan separated several plots of land near the stream in the space with fences, one with mint, one with vegetables, and the other side for poultry. It took almost an afternoon to clean up the whole place, and finally she was so tired that she simply went into the stream to take a bath and wash away the exhaustion.
At this moment, Xia Sihan thought of a question. If the weather is good now, the big deal is red cloth and soft yarn. But if it's winter, no fabric can withstand the cold, let alone beauty. The wedding dress is naturally red, and it is necessary to be beautiful and warm, and it is necessary to work the style and material. Her gaze stayed on the chicken and duck in front of her.
Xia Sihan still remembers seeing the scene of hens hatching chicks when she was a child, in addition to relying on body temperature, there are also their feathers, can these also be used on clothes? She shook her head and laughed at herself, "Well, what girl would put up with such a stinky thing in her wedding dress?"
Xia Sihan quickly ruled out this method, and after getting up from the stream, he wiped his body out of the space. Sweeping away the tiredness of the afternoon, Xia Sihan felt much more refreshed at this time.
At this time, there was a call at the front door, and Xia Sihan hurriedly answered and went to open the door, guessing that the signboard was probably delivered. As soon as the gate opened, it was really a signboard. Sijin Garment Workshop is taken from the names of Xia Sihan and Li Jinyan - Sijin, Xia Sihan is very satisfied with this. Now the signboard has arrived, and the embroidery girl has also been found, just waiting for the opening tomorrow.
Xia Sihan locked the door, returned to the kitchen to prepare the meal, and waited for Li Jinyan to come back to eat. But after waiting for a long time today, no one came home, and Mother Li was a little anxious and walked back and forth in the hall.
Xia Sihan thought about it for a while, there was no major event in Beijing at this time in his previous life, but there would be any accidents if he couldn't guarantee it. After comforting his mother-in-law, he went out to look for it.
When I came out, I saw that the street was quiet, not as lively as usual. Xia Sihan's heart couldn't help but be a little nervous, "Could it really be that something happened?" ”
