Chapter 7: The Threat of Purple Smoke

Pei'er came back with a big bag of food, and the startled Cui'er hurriedly took it.

Cui'er said: "Sister Pei'er, have you made a fortune?" How do you buy so many delicious foods? ”

Another said, "How is that possible?" This must have been the girl telling her to go out and buy it. ”

"But the girl doesn't like to eat these things, besides, the dim sum made by Aunt Liu in the back kitchen is delicious."

"She has to be willing to cook delicious food. When the girl wanted her to make a snack, she was willing to do it without giving her a reward of silver, and the silver was enough to buy several packs outside. ”

"Stop, stop! Don't make any noise, I bought all these things myself. Come, please eat. As she spoke, Pei'er opened everything that had not yet been opened.

"Are you really rich?"

"You don't have to worry about that. By the way, what about the girl? ”

"The girl and Sister Ziyun went to the garden. If you have something to do, I advise you to wait and talk. ”

"Why?"

"Sister Ziyun was crying in the morning, and at noon, the girl talked to her for a while before she came out of it. I guess that something happened to Ziyan, and Sister Ziyun is afraid that something will happen. ”

"You don't talk nonsense."

"Whoever is talking nonsense, if you don't believe it, let's wait and see."

When Pei'er heard them say this, she felt very uncomfortable, and she had no appetite at all. I dropped the snacks on the table and went out of the courtyard. As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw two figures walking in the distance.

Su Yingxue was worried that Ziyun wouldn't be able to think about it, so she deliberately asked Ziyun to go to the garden for a walk, but she never wanted to provoke so many speculations from these little girls.

Pei'er stepped forward and told Su Yingxue what Qin Ziqing had explained. Su Yingxue just nodded when she heard this.

"Girl, why didn't you ask me why I came back so late?"

Su Yingxue felt funny and asked, "Why?" ”

Pei'er began to beat her thigh and said, "Oh, it's not Young Master Qin yet, and I don't know where to run, so I waited until it was dark to come back." My leg was sore and sore standing outside the gate. ”

"Why don't you go into the house and wait? Or you can give the letter to the porter. ”

"Young Master Qin is not in the mansion again, even if my little maid enters the mansion, no one will pay attention to it, and I can give the letter to Young Master Qin earlier when I wait outside." Pei'er made up her mind, and she couldn't say why she didn't leave the letter in the concierge and came back. If the girl knew that she thought she was writing a love poem and did not dare to give it to others for fear of being seen, then she would be dead.

Su Yingxue saw that she was innocent, and said with a smile, "Ziyun, go back and get some silver money and give it to Pei'er." After a hard afternoon, she can't be allowed to work hard in vain. ”

"No, no, girl, Gongzi Qin has already appreciated it, there are a lot of them. I bought a lot of food, and now I have money left, you see. As he spoke, he was about to take it out.

Su Yingxue stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Ziqing is Brother Ziqing's, and mine is mine, it's different." ”

Pei'er was so happy that she stood for an afternoon, and got money in two places. In the future, we must match them well, if they often exchange letters, there are so many times, and they will make a fortune.

There are two more days for the New Year, Yangzhou City is very lively, every household is full of lights, sticking door paintings, pasting couplets, busy preparing food for the New Year.

In a small corner gate of Su Mansion, a mother-in-law led a slender figure into the mansion and went straight to Yiqing Garden.

Su Yingxue was drinking tea in the hall and was already waiting there. Ziyun entered the door and said that the people were coming, and took Su Yingxue's order to bring people in, and left with a group of maids and Fang Cai's mother-in-law.

In just a few days, the person in front of him was thin and weak, but he revealed more stubbornness. She just stood there, neither saluting nor speaking, looking like a proud peacock.

Seeing her attitude, Su Yingxue put down the teacup and called Ziyun: "Take people down." ”

"Don't you ask me why I'm looking for you?" Ziyan suddenly spoke.

Ziyun was startled, how could she speak to the girl in such a tone. It's like a different person, and they're no longer sisters who grew up together.

I only heard Su Yingxue say: "You begged to come to see me, is this kind of attitude?" What do you want to say, I'm not interested at all. Ziyun, take her out. ”

"No, if you don't listen, I'm going to say it!" Ziyan broke free of Ziyun's hand and shouted. "Girl, you have a handle in my hands, if you don't help me, I will spread it out, and our reputation will stink!"

Ziyun was shocked, not knowing whether what Ziyan said was true or not, and looked at Su Yingxue. saw that Su Yingxue's face was cold, and she was about to withdraw. If there is really something, she still doesn't want to know, those little girls outside, she goes to watch, and promises not to let people listen.

"Ziyun stayed. Say, what do I do? Su Yingxue laughed in her heart, she originally thought of the friendship between master and servant, and she didn't want to see her for a few days, she looked at herself like an enemy. She must have come today to ask herself to help her, this attitude is ridiculous!

"On the day Young Master Qin came to the mansion, you went to the garden, but on the road leading to the Ziluo Pavilion, there were only the footprints of Young Master Qin alone. The good things you and Young Master Qin have done, don't think I don't know. ”

Su Yingxue remembered, but said, "So what? ”

"How? Unmarried men and women, skin-to-skin, bad morals! Doesn't the daughter of Su Mansion care at all? Ziyan's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and disdain. She's just reincarnated, if she is also like her, how can she fall to such a point!

Su Yingxue sneered, do you care? Why does she think that she is a girl who has been kicked out by the master's family, and others will believe her words! I knew she was so mentality, I really shouldn't have let someone bring her.

Ziyan didn't expect Su Yingxue to look indifferent, and there was a lot of anger in her heart. However, she can't forget the purpose of her visit, she must achieve her purpose!

"As long as you agree to my terms, I promise not to tell you about it. Except for Ziyun, who is here today, I won't let anyone know about this anymore. ”

Su Yingxue was not afraid that she would threaten this matter, but she needed to take the initiative first, and she had to know what Ziyan was asking for.

"Oh, you can tell me first."

"I'm leaving Yangzhou! You give me 10,000 taels of silver, and then find someone to escort me to Kyoto. ”

Ten thousand taels! Ziyun was so frightened that she almost cried out. You must know that she is a first-class maid in the Su Mansion, and her monthly silver is five taels a month, which is much higher than other mansions. Even if she doesn't eat or drink in her life, she won't be able to earn 10,000 taels! Purple smoke must be crazy!

"You're going to Kyoto?" Su Yingxue didn't expect Ziyan's ambition to be so big. Leave Yangzhou and go to the more prosperous Kyoto to make a living.

"Thanks to you, my father and mother disliked me and wanted to make me marry someone casually. I'm not going to give in like that. I have to get out of here! ”

Su Yingxue said with a smile: "What you do by yourself is to be angry with me." If you ask me, maybe I can help you. Now, they are framing me with unwarranted things. The thing you said was publicized casually, I didn't do anything out of bounds, and I wasn't afraid of being investigated. It's you, the red-mouthed and white-toothed man who framed the old master, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear this lawsuit. ”

Ziyan choked for a while, yes, she couldn't show evidence for that incident at all, she just relied on the woman's fancy for her reputation, but Su Yingxue obviously saw this. Begging her? No! It was she who disregarded her master-servant relationship for so many years to put herself in such a situation. Ziyan suddenly thought of the biggest secret of the young lady. "You're really powerful, but I don't know if if I tell the things in the young lady's flower garden if it is a threat to Su Fu."

Su Yingxue smiled brightly, she finally got down to business.

"How much do you know about the things in the flower garden? What if the world knows that I have cultivated a new seed? For me, being talked about for more skill isn't necessarily a bad thing. ”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about, so why are you pretending to be confused!"

"Yes, if you master my method of cultivating new seeds, it will be a threat to the Su family. It's just that you've always been exposed to the skin, and to be precise, the threat is not great, although it is there. Actually, there is no so-called fur, Su Yingxue is just teasing her, making her think that the things in her hands are not of high value, so it is convenient to pinch her.

Ziyan was extremely disappointed in her heart, but she couldn't give up. "Okay, even if the value is not high, I will use it as a condition in exchange, as long as you promise me, I will not tell anyone anything in the flower garden."

"You want to take 10,000 taels of silver for such a small thing, it's impossible! Three hundred taels, I can only give you three hundred taels at most. Three hundred taels is a lot, enough for you to gain a foothold in Kyoto. ”

"No, at least a thousand taels!" In the bustling area of Kyoto, she wants to go to Kyoto to find a shop to do business, and she is afraid that it will not be enough.

"I'll read the master and servant, and I'll give you five hundred taels, if you want to take it, if you don't take it, then get out with your so-called secret."

Ziyan struggled again and again, and finally agreed. In order to prevent her parents from marrying her off early, it was agreed that five days later, the third day of the Lunar New Year would set off.

Sending away the purple smoke, Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. From now on, they have nothing to do with each other. There is no need to worry about someone threatening her, but this incident is also a warning. In the future, we need to be more cautious in employing people.

Ziyun looked at Ziyan's departing figure, and felt very sad, the sisters of nearly ten years had become like this. People's hearts are fickle, that's about it.

In the afternoon, Su Yingxue went to Su's mother house to report the matter.

Su Mu sighed: "It was also me who looked away, and saw that she was quite a proper person, and I wanted to cultivate her, but I didn't want this to be the case." Five hundred taels of silver was already a lot of money for her, so she just went back to the account office to spend it. It's just that this person is sent to escort her, but who are you looking for? She is a girl's family, so she goes to the dart bureau to find someone, and there is no female dart head. ”
