Chapter 36: Bankruptcy
Pingfu looked at the person on the paper curiously, it seemed to be a female doll, and her facial features were very exquisite, especially the big round eyes, which were very amazing with long curly eyelashes.
Pingfu couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, who is your painting on?" ”
Li Xuan said while drawing: "It's a Barbie doll, not a real person." ”
"Ba... Compare... Doll? Pingfu repeated this profound and obscure word, his eyes changed from confusion to worship, and the young master really knew a lot of things.
"Alright." Li Xuan blew on the paper, dried the ink on it, then rolled up the painting and handed it to Pingfu: "Tomorrow take this painting to the factory to find a master to make the doll on it." ”
"Factory?" Pingfu took the painting, not quite understanding what Li Xuan was talking about.
Li Xuan slapped himself in his heart, and changed his words: "It's a place where you can make rag dolls, aren't there two cloth tigers in Weiwei?"
"It's where you can make a rag tiger, and you should be able to make my rag doll."
Pingfu understood: "Oh, the slave only knows, there is such a small workshop outside.
"However, young master, the rag dolls that children from large families play with are all made by embroidery girls in Fuzhong."
Li Xuan said: "I don't want to find the embroidery girl in the third room, and I don't want to find the embroidery girl in the general's mansion, you just go outside to find a workshop to make this rag doll." ”
"By the way, it should be made of the best fabric, and the clothes worn by the doll should also be made of the best fabric."
When Pingfu heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Young Master, your request... It is not good to do without a few dozen taels of silver, we... There wasn't much silver left. ”
Li Xuan paused and asked, "How much silver do we have?" ”
"Twenty taels."
"So little?"
Pingfu nodded heavily: "It's so little." ”
He is also too poor, and sure enough, in ancient times, the concubine was synonymous with no power and no power.
You must know that as a concubine, he is actually in much better condition than the ordinary concubine, and the ordinary concubine is at his age, and it is good to have ten taels of silver.
Li Xuan took back the painting from Pingfu's hand and said, "Let me think about it, you go down first." ”
Twenty taels of silver, it's really not enough for him to spend, according to the standard of his plan to raise a rich daughter, make a rag doll for Weiwei, and he will go bankrupt.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, no, he had to think of ways to make money to support his daughter.
......
Lan Hai helped Xiao Lingwei change into her bedclothes, and said: "At the end of the day, the slave maid went to the sixth room to fetch cloth tigers for the young lady, and heard Lanzhi say that the sixth lady was sick.
So, the slave went to see the sixth lady, but she didn't see the young lady for a few days, and the sixth lady was thin and out of shape.
"She kept coughing, and the slave and maid were distressed when they watched from the sidelines."
Lan Hai secretly glanced at Xiao Lingwei, and saw that her face was calm and there was a trace of worry in her eyes, so she continued: "Listening to Mama Gu, the sixth lady is thinking about Miss every day, looking forward to Miss going to see her, even in her dream, the sixth lady is calling Miss's name.
"Doctor Zhang said, the sixth lady is a heart disease, she misses Miss, and she can't get better if she takes medicine.
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine, if it continues, the sixth lady may not be good."
Sixth Madam, it's not the slave who wants to curse you, it's the eighth young master who instructed the slave and maid to be serious, you must not blame the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are also to trick the young lady into going to see you, please forgive the slave and the maid.
Lan Hai repented in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Miss, why don't you accompany the slave to see the sixth lady tomorrow?"
"The sixth lady will be very happy to see you, and her illness will get better soon."
Xiao Ling pursed her lips slightly, and said angrily: "Don't go, who told her to beat me, I hate her." ”
"Ouch, my young lady, you must not say this, the sixth lady is the biological mother who gave birth to you and raised you, and she is willing to do anything for you.
"You can't hate her, and you shouldn't say this in the future, it's unfilial piety, you can't say it."
Xiao Ling twisted her body slightly: "I won't say anything in the future, but I won't go to see her." ”
She pushed Lan Hai out: "I'm going to sleep, you go out, don't be in my room, I don't want to be on duty tonight." ”
After saying that, she burrowed into the bed and fell asleep.
Lan Hai was helpless, stepped forward to tuck the quilt corner for her, and went out lightly.
At the moment when the door closed, Xiao Ling sat up with the quilt in her arms.
Her delicate eyebrows were wrinkled, her hands were on her knees, and she thought: "She hit me, it's her fault."
"Since I was a child, she has never beaten me, but this time, she beat me so hard that she couldn't forgive me."
There was a moment of silence in the room, and her voice sounded again: "But, she's sick...
"In the past, when I made her angry, as long as I was sick, she would not be angry anymore and would forgive me.
"Now, she's sick, I shouldn't be angry, and I'm going to forgive her.
"Yes, that's right.
"But, how can I go to see my mother?"
She didn't want Lan Hai to take her, and she didn't want to follow her brothers, it would be too shameless.
She's going to go by herself, go now.
With that, she can get smaller and go quietly so that no one can see it.
After making up her mind, Xiao Ling said slightly: "Get smaller." ”
The next moment, Xiao Lingwei's body became the size of a thumb, but she stayed in place, so she was pressed down by the quilt.
"Ah, it's so heavy, it's suffocating me."
Xiao Ling struggled to pull the quilt and wanted to climb out of the quilt.
When I covered my body just now, I didn't feel heavy, why did it become so heavy now.
Oh, it's her getting smaller.
"Get bigger."
A large piece of the quilt was lifted, Xiao Ling lifted the quilt slightly, exposed her head, and hurriedly breathed: "Ah, I was almost suffocated." ”
No, after getting smaller, wouldn't it take a long time to walk from here to the sixth room.
No, it's not good.
Xiao Ling pondered slightly.
Suddenly, the words of the Sixth Lady sounded in her mind: "... Not only do you stay where you are, but what if you appear in a dangerous place? ”
By the way, she won't just stay where she is after transforming, so can she go to the sixth room after transforming?
Xiao Ling's eyes were shining, she wanted to give it a try, so she silently said in her heart: Let me appear in front of my mother after transformation and become smaller.
As soon as the words fell, there was no one for her on the bed.
......
Laneige put on the candle again and persuaded, "Sixth Madam, you have been copying for a day, it's time to rest." ”
The sixth lady's subordinates didn't stop and said, "No, I want to finish copying it quickly, so that Weiwei will come back."
"I'll copy another hour, you go down, I'll go and rest."
Laneige had no choice but to go out.
Weiwei, you wait, my mother will finish copying it soon, and when my mother finishes copying, my mother will pick you up.
The sixth lady silently recited Xiao Lingwei's name in her heart, her right hand was full of strength again, and the speed of copying increased again.
She dipped it in ink and put pen to paper again.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared on the paper that was almost full of words, it was Xiao Lingwei.
The sixth lady was stunned, the brush she was holding paused in mid-air, and a drop of ink condensed and dripped down.
Xiao Ling raised her head slightly, looked up at Mrs. Xiao Liu, and called softly and glutinously, "Mother." ”
A drop of ink dripped down from above and fell into Xiao Lingwei's mouth...
