Chapter 2: Think on the bright side
Qin Tian hurriedly covered her mouth, looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Don't be quiet, don't be quiet!" ”
Xiaomei looked at the robe carefully, and her face turned pale: "This seems to be Aunt Li's new clothes, I saw her wear it in the garden, and I heard that she likes it very much......" Her whole body trembled: "No, no, I have to tell Mother Song, otherwise, they will definitely think that we broke it!" The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and her voice trembled, "Last time, a maid just broke one of my aunt's teacups, and was sold by my aunt after beating twenty boards, and I don't know what dirty it was sold, if she thought we washed her clothes, we would also be sold by her......"
As she spoke, she stood up and staggered, "I'm going to talk to Mother Song......"
Qin Tian grabbed her and shouted in a low voice: "Xiaomei, calm down, can you tell Mother Song that Mother Song will believe you?" ”
Xiaomei looked down at her, "You...... What do you mean......"
Qin Tian stood up, picked up the clothes, looked around first, and after making sure that there was no one, he walked to Xiaomei's side, took her hand, and whispered, "Think about it, we have been in for so long, when have we washed the master's clothes?" Why did Miss Ling'er suddenly bring Aunt Li's clothes over to wash? ”
Xiaomei's six gods have no owner, "Why...... Why ......"
Qin Tian raised the clothes in his hand, "Because this dress has long been broken, they are afraid of being blamed by Aunt Li, so they brought it here to find a substitute for the dead ghost!" ”
The rough maid of the laundry has a low status and is helpless, which is perfect as a substitute for the dead!
"Substitute...... Scapegoat......! Xiaomei's face changed greatly, and she took a few steps back, "No, I want to tell Mother Song that I haven't touched this dress yet, I didn't make it!" ”
Qin Tian took a few steps forward and grabbed her stiffly: "It's useless, why did Mother Song hand over the clothes to us to wash?" Why did you take Ah Gui and Ah Fu away again? Because she had already guessed that there was something wrong with these clothes, she made up her mind to let us be blackened! ”
"What?" Xiaomei looked at Qin Tian in a daze, her face turned pale, "What did you say?" ”
Qin Tian pulled her back a little and asked her to sit down on a small jet-black pestle, she slowed down her tone, "Think about it, who is Miss Ling'er?" She is the eldest girl next to Aunt Li. Who are we? We are the lowest coarse maids of the dealer. Miss Ling'er came here to find a replacement for the dead ghost, will Mother Song go against Miss Ling'er for us? Just by looking at her taking Ah Gui and Ah Fu away, you can see that she wants to use us to curry favor with Miss Cheng Ling'er......"
Ah Gui is the daughter-in-law of Song's mother, Ah Fu usually shoots Song's mother's ass, and has a good relationship with Song's mother, and Song's mother takes them away, just because she doesn't want them to be involved in this matter.
Xiaomei also slowly figured these out
"Then aren't we going to die......" Xiaomei was stunned for a while, then covered her face and cried, "I don't want to be sold to the kiln......"
Seeing that she was so worried, Qin Tian held her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry......"
Before she finished speaking, Xiaomei suddenly raised her head and stared straight at Qin Tian with a strange gaze
Qin Tian looked at her and felt bad
Sure enough, in the next second, Xiaomei pushed Qin Tian away, stood up, pointed at her and said loudly: "I have never touched that dress, you broke it, it's none of my business!" I'm going to tell Mother Song that you broke it! ”
"Xiaomei......" Qin Tian also stood up, looked at her with a calm face, and said softly, "You obviously know that things are not like this. ”
Xiaomei's face changed,
She and Qin Tian sold into the dealer together, in the past month, the two worked together, ate together, and slept together, Qin Tian always listened to her whining and complaining with a smile, sometimes helped her work, and when she was punished for not having anything to eat, Qin Tian would secretly leave her some food
Qin Tian treated her well......
Xiaomei looked ashamed
However, if she didn't push the matter to Qin Tian, she would have to be sold together, obviously she didn't do it...... If it really can't be avoided, then it's better to die one person than two......
Thinking of this, Xiaomei hardened her heart again and said coldly; "I've never touched that dress, the clothes were broken on your hands, who knows if you broke it!"
After speaking, he didn't dare to look at her, turned around and left.
"Xiaomei, this can't solve things!" Qin Tian looked at her back and said coldly, "You can push the responsibility to me, and I can also push the responsibility to you, there is no one else here, except for us, no one knows the truth." When asked above, can it be useful for us to pass the buck to each other? It turned out that the two of us were punished together! ”
"You're ......!" Xiaomei stopped, turned her head and glared at Qin Tian, her face changed several times, and finally she cried again, stunned.
Qin Tian looked at her like this and sighed softly,
Self-protection in a dangerous situation is also human nature, although she can't agree with her behavior, but she won't blame her at this time. The main thing now is to solve the problem, not to blame uselessly.
What's more, when this body is sick, only Xiaomei is by her side to take care of her...... Otherwise, even if she passes through, she may not be able to survive.
She walked up to Xiaomei, looked into her eyes, her eyes revealed the sorrow of sympathy, she whispered: "Xiaomei, I can understand your feelings, just as you don't want to be sold, I don't want to, we are all hard-working people, every day looking at other people's faces to behave and do things, any mistake, any person can make us unlucky." We are the only ones who can take care of each other, so are we going to hurt each other now? In this situation, it is not possible to shirk responsibility to solve the problem, the master starts a fire, it makes no difference whether to sell one or two, neither of us can try to escape! ”
Xiaomei seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength, and squatted down in a dejected manner, "Then what should we do?" ”
"First of all, we have to calm down, don't panic, don't make trouble." Qin Tian also squatted down next to her, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Miss Ling'er said that she would come to pick up the clothes in two days, so we must make good use of these two days, and we must not make a fuss!" ”
Seeing that she was so calm, Xiaomei had some hope in her heart, she raised her head and grabbed Qin Tian's clothes hard, "Qin Tian, have you thought of a solution?" ”
Qin Tian frowned and shook his head,
Xiaomei was deflated and let go of her clothes, "That's not a dead end!" The voice was crying
Qin Tian smiled, and the shallow little pear vortex floated on this fifteen or sixteen-year-old face, looking very cute.
"Xiaomei, don't be discouraged, you have to think on the bright side, fortunately we found out earlier, otherwise, if you are careless and wait until Miss Ling'er comes to find out, then there is no way at all!"
Xiaomei wiped a handful of tears, looked at her and snorted, "You can still laugh!" ”
"Crying doesn't help, I'm in a better mood and my brain is brighter!" Qin Tian smiled and took her hand, "Let's not talk about this for now, now that the work is done, we have the strength to think about the problem after breakfast!" ”
Maybe Qin Tian's words worked, Xiaomei didn't complain anymore, she and Qin Tian finished the work that should be done in the morning.
Qin Tian put away the dress first and didn't let the family see it. The two had breakfast together, and then hid in the room to discuss the matter secretly.
The two sat on a wooden bed, shoulder to shoulder, head on head, whispering.
"Why don't you fill this little hole?" Xiaomei took a closer look at the tear in the dress, and the gap was an embroidered hibiscus petal. All kinds of silk threads are embroidered with flowers, the stitches are neat and tight, and the layers are clear, even Qin Tian, who doesn't know how to embroidery, has to admit that this is a very good embroidery. You can also imagine how expensive and hard-won this dress is.
It must be Aunt Li's extreme favorite, otherwise Miss Ling'er wouldn't have to come to find a substitute for the dead ghost.
"Do you know how to needle and embroider?" Qin Tian's words went straight to the point
Xiaomei was immediately deflated, almost angry, "If I knew that, would I still wash clothes here?" ”
Qin Tian pursed his lips and smiled,
Xiaomei looked at her smiling face, lost her anger again, lowered her head, and sighed heavily: "Then what should I do?" We have only been in the dealer for a month, and there is no one to trust in the sewing room. ”
Qin Tian motioned to her to look at the embroiderer, "Such exquisite embroidery, I'm afraid that the needlework room won't be able to make it back, if it doesn't do it well, I'm afraid it will anger my aunt even more, and it will confirm our crimes!" ”
As she spoke, a magpie's cry suddenly came from outside the window, Qin Tian's heart moved slightly, she stood up, walked to the window, and saw several magpies jumping around happily on the rubble of the opposite room.
The chirping is particularly heartwarming.
Qin Tian's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at Xiaomei with a sad face, and smiled happily: "I have thought of a way, maybe it works!" ”
