Chapter 12: Betrayal

Three days later, Tang You was embroidering in the embroidery room, when he suddenly saw Aunt Ruzhen walk in and called Tang You out. She took Tang You into the inner hall, and saw an old woman in her fifties sitting inside, Aunt Ruzhen led Tang You to the old woman's side, and said to her with a respectful expression, "Mama Qiu, this embroidery girl is called Shen Qiao." ”

That Mama Qiu put down the tea cup in her hand, and looked at Tang You's face seriously for a moment, her stern gaze seemed to be examining some kind of goods, which made Tang You feel very uncomfortable.

"You are Shen Qiao?" Mama Qiu asked.

Tang You looked up at her, "Who are you?" ”

"Shen Qiao, this is Mama Qiu next to the old lady." Aunt Ruzhen hurriedly said.

Mama Qiu let Aunt Ruzhen leave, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "Do you know why I came to you today?" ”

"I don't know."

"I see that you look smart, don't pretend to be confused, the second master has turned Su Mansion upside down in the past few days."

Tang You was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Su Yu to really take action because of her words, "If he wants to make trouble, what does it have to do with me." ”

"Okay, don't make those twists and turns with my old woman, let's open the skylight and talk brightly, how much do you want to get out of here?"

"Getting out of here? What do you mean? Tang looked at her puzzled.

"It means that you will leave Xiuzhuang, leave Bianjing, and never appear in front of the second master in the future."

Tang You has watched a lot of romance dramas in modern times, and those Cinderella plots that want to marry the Mary Sue of the domineering president are always indispensable to have a wealthy evil mother-in-law to ask the heroine out alone, and then let her make a price, how much money can leave the male protagonist. What Tang You didn't expect was that this kind of bloody episode would happen to her one day, and she really felt a little funny inexplicably. So she thought for a moment and said, "Then five thousand taels, not a single cent less." ”

Mama Qiu sneered when she heard this, "Hmph, five thousand taels of silver, you have a big appetite." ”

Tang You smiled slightly, "I'm afraid I misunderstood, I'm talking about five thousand taels of gold." ”

"You!" Mama Qiu almost rolled her eyes angrily, and said viciously, "What a thing that doesn't know how to lift, don't toast and don't eat and drink, and in the end, a chicken and egg will be beaten, and you won't be able to catch a penny." ”

Tang You didn't look at her, and turned to leave.

At the same time...

When Aunt Ruzhen took Tang You away, the embroidery girls in the embroidery room also stopped their movements and looked at the door curiously.

"Huh! I'll tell you a secret. Meng Chun said with a mysterious expression.

"What's the secret?" Ah Cai hurriedly asked.

"Don't tell anyone. I heard that the old lady of the Su family seems to be going to take a concubine for her son. ”

"Really?" Ah Cai asked excitedly. Their voices were not small, and they had already attracted the attention of other embroiderers, and as soon as they heard the news, everyone hurriedly gathered around.

"Meng Chun, how did you know this news?"

"My mother is a cook in the back kitchen of Su Mansion, and she heard the maid next to the old lady mention it. I heard that I also invited a famous matchmaker in the city to count the eight characters. ”

Hearing this, Yuxiu hurriedly asked, "Who is that a concubine for, the uncle of the Su family or the second master?" ”

"I heard my mother say that it seems to be the uncle of the Su family." Meng Chundao.

"Uncle Su! Who is he going to marry? Yuxiu asked with some excitement.

"I don't know this, and my mother doesn't know which girl it is." Meng Chun paused when he said this, and suddenly said, "However, I seem to have seen Mama Qiu beside the old lady of the Su family come to the embroidery room." And as soon as she came, Aunt Ruzhen brought Shen Qiao over, do you guess it would be Shen Qiao? Yuxiu was stunned when she heard this, and the embroidery girls were also shocked.

"Shen Qiao, won't you? How long has she been in the embroidery village? ”

"I think it's very likely that when Shen Qiao entered the embroidery village, he was taken by the uncle of the Su family at a glance, and despite Aunt Ruzhen's objections, he made an exception to let her enter the embroidery village. Do you still remember that this time Concubine Xian's new clothes were originally the old lady's personal order of Yuxiu's Lamei map, but I don't know who sent Shen Qiao's orchid picture into the palace and gave it to Concubine Xian Niangniang to see it personally, and finally used Shen Qiao's orchid picture. Now it seems that it should be the uncle of the Su family who did it. ”

"Hey, listening to you say this, it makes a lot of sense, it seems that this Shen Qiao and the uncle of the Su family really have a lot to do with each other."

"I think Shen Qiao and Uncle Su are a good match, she is good-looking, good embroiderer, and has a good temper, if I were a man, I would like her." Yueya smiled stupidly, and everyone laughed out loud when they saw this.

"Also, except for Shen Qiao's family background, he is top-notch in other aspects. No wonder Uncle Su will take a fancy to her, she is also a blessed person to marry Uncle Su. ”

"Hey, I envy her so much, if only I could marry Uncle Su." A chubby embroidery girl said with a yearning face.

"You, don't dream, look at Shen Qiao, and then look at yourself, how to compare with others." The other embroiderer said with a smile.

"Hmph, when I lose weight, maybe I'll be more beautiful than Shen Qiao!" The fat embroidery girl was not convinced.

When the embroidery girls heard this, there was another burst of laughter, and only Yuxiu didn't seem to hear what they were talking about, but just looked straight at Shen Qiao's position, and couldn't see any expression on her face.

In the evening, Tang You took a bath and returned to the bedroom, and saw that Yueya had fallen asleep, and Yuxiu was sitting on the bed, sewing a piece of clothing. When she saw Tang You coming in, she said while sewing clothes, "Qiao'er, what did Aunt Ruzhen do when she took you out during the day today?" ”

Tang You was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know how to explain to Yuxiu about her and Su Yu, thinking that it was nothing serious, so he didn't plan to tell her, and said casually, "It's okay, it's just that there is a little problem with the embroidery, let me go over and take a look." ”

Yuxiu paused slightly when she heard this, and then quickly returned to normal, and smiled slightly, "Really?" I thought Aunt Ruzhen took you to meet someone! ”

Tang You was a little bit of a thief when she said this, but it was not easy to explain, so he smiled a little embarrassedly, "How can it be, it's not too early, you should go to bed early." ”

Yuxiu lowered her head and mended the clothes in her hands, and said softly, "I'll sleep later, you can sleep first." ”

Tang You took off his robe, got into the quilt, turned over, and fell asleep, but what Tang You didn't see was that the clothes on Yuxiu's hand were stained with a drop of red blood, and her slender and white fingers were pricked by a needle, but she didn't realize it, just silently looked at Tang You's bed, and her eyes gradually became cold.

At the door of Sujia Embroidery Village, all the embroidery girls came out of it, and when they saw their relatives standing at the door to pick them up, they happily stepped forward to go home with their relatives. As soon as Tang You and Yuxiu walked out of the door, they saw Yuxiu's mother standing outside waiting for her, Tang You said hello to the eldest mother, and Yuxiu took the eldest mother and left.

Tang You waited at the door for a while, and after a while, he saw a carriage stop in front of Tang You's eyes, Tang You was slightly stunned, thinking that it was Su Yu again, but he didn't expect the car door to open, but it was Shen Qiao who came out of it, only to see that he was wearing a brand-new red gorilla felt mink fur today, plus he was tall, and the whole person looked radiant, making the handsome face even more handsome and extraordinary, as if he was a different person.

"Sister, I'm here to pick you up." Shen Qiao said to Tang You with a smile.

When Tang You saw Shen Qiao's appearance, he said, "What's the matter today, you're dressed so richly, it seems that you've won a lot of silver recently?" ”

Shen Qiao sneered, "It's okay, it's okay." Let's go home. ”

Tang You followed Shen Qiao into the carriage, Tang You sat on the carriage, and saw that the carriage had not arrived for a while, so he opened the curtain curiously, and saw that the carriage was not driving in the direction of their house, so he hurriedly looked at Shen Qiao and asked, "Where are we going?" Aren't you going home? ”

Shen Qiao sat in the carriage and said leisurely, "I want to go home, but now we have a new place to live, and we don't have to live in the dilapidated house before." ”

"Where?"

"Sister, don't worry, you'll know when we arrive." Shen Qiao said mysteriously.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Qiao took the lead in getting out of the carriage and shouted with a smile, "Sister, our new home has arrived." ”

Tang You opened the curtain of the car, got off the carriage, and saw a high-gate compound in front of him, Tang You knew that the boundary of this house belonged to the rich area of Bianjing City, and no one could not afford to buy such a residence for a few thousand taels. Seeing this, she looked at Shen Qiao and asked, "Where did you get the money to buy such a good house?" ”

"I won it." Shen Qiao put his arm around Tang You's shoulders, half-pushed her in, and said with a smile, "Let's go, take you in to see our new home." ”

The two of them entered the gate, and there were four maids standing in the wide courtyard, and when they saw Tang You and Shen Qiao walking in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I've seen Childe, I've seen Miss." ”

Shen Qiao nodded with satisfaction and instructed them, "You all go down and do your own business." ”

The four maids received the order and continued to return to their places to work, one carrying a bucket to water the trees and flowers in the yard, one holding scissors to continue pruning the plants, one holding a broom to disturb the fallen leaves in the garden, and one holding a rag to wipe the flower pots planted with flowers and plants, in an orderly manner.

Shen Qiao continued to lead Tang You inside, and when he entered the hall, he saw that the furniture in the bright hall was very luxurious, the tables and chairs were of high-quality pear blossom wood, the walls were hung with famous landscape paintings, and precious jade and vases were placed.

A maid came up with tea, set up the tea set on the table, poured two cups of tea, and then retreated.

Shen Qiao sat leisurely on the main seat, picked up the teacup, blew lightly, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Tang You with a smile and said, "How is it, this new home is not bad." ”

Tang You looked straight at Shen Qiao and asked lightly, "Just a house, you sold me?" ”

Shen Qiao was choked on a mouthful of water when he heard this, he coughed a few times, his face was choked red, "Ahem... Younger sister... What do you mean? ”

"What do you mean? Don't tell me that you won this house by gambling! This is what the second master of the Su family bought for you! ”

Shen Qiao was embarrassed by Tang You's words, and stood up and walked to Tang You's side, "Sister, although this house was indeed bought by the second master of the Su family, he really likes you, why don't you want to accept him?" ”

Tang You said coldly, "He gave you a house, and you were bought by him, and in turn you wanted to be his lobbyist and sell your sister to him?" ”

"Sister, how can you say that, I'm your own brother, let alone a house, I want my brother's life, and my brother won't sell you to anyone else!"

"Then you still take his house?"

"I see that the second master is really in love with you, and he also said that he wants to marry you as a wife, brother really doesn't want you to miss such a good man?"

Tang You looked at Shen Qiao's eyes and said seriously, "But I don't want to marry someone I don't like." ”

Shen Qiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, he looked at Tang You, and said after a while, "Sister, you have to think clearly, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more." ”

"I think very clearly." Tang You replied word by word.

Shen Qiao looked at Tang You's determined expression, and suddenly smiled, he reached out and touched Tang You's head, "Although your brother likes money very much, he likes you even more as a younger sister." He said as he took out a stack of silver tickets and a title deed from his pocket and handed them to Tang You, "Take it and return it to him." ”

Tang You took the silver ticket and said sincerely, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Shen Qiao smiled, sat on the pear blossom wooden chair, looked around, and sighed reluctantly, "Hey, this big house hasn't been lived in for a few days, and it's going to be returned to others." ”

Tang You smiled when he heard this, "When I earn money in the future, I can also buy you a big house." ”

"Okay, brother, wait for this day."

…………………… Dividing line ..............................

In the lively street market, Yuxiu and the eldest lady were walking home, the two walked to a ready-to-wear shop, and saw two young women coming out of it, Yuxiu glanced at the woman in the green dress and was slightly stunned, so she stopped and said to the eldest lady, "Mother, I saw a friend, you are waiting for me here, I will go and say hello to her." With that, he ran over.

"Rue, long time no see." Yuxiu smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

When Rue Xiang saw Yuxiu, she showed a displeased look on her face, and said coldly, "Why are you?" Do you dare to come to me? ”

Yuxiu smiled and said, "Ruxiang, don't be angry first, I have a secret I want to tell you." ”
