Chapter 132: Give a way out
When Qian Xiangui was imprisoned and Jiang Congyang no longer paid attention to the three of them, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, like her, who never thought about self-improvement and self-reliance, just wanted to cling to and exploit other people's bloodsuckers, and now she is really blind.
A while ago, Jiao hated Qian Xiangui for treating her as a servant, but now, she found that she was not as good as a while ago.
Qian Wenyan has already given birth, but it is a daughter, although Jiang Congyang didn't come before, he still gave money to send rice, but now, a daughter was born here, and the one in the family is also pregnant, he has completely given up here.
Qian Wencai once quietly stopped Jiang Congyang on the road, and wanted to beg others to continue to support their family for nothing, Jiang Congyang didn't even show his face, and the servant was even more vicious: "Our master doesn't know anyone surnamed Qian and Jin, hurry up, don't make the master angry, let you get out of Minghu City immediately!" ”
Qian Wencai left dejectedly, he could no longer live in the school, live a life of rice worms without worrying about food and clothing, and when he returned home, he would inevitably complain in front of Jiao's family.
Jiao searched the house, and she didn't know where Qian Xiangui hid the money, she went to visit in prison a few times, Qian Xiangui was no longer crazy, but said honestly: "I don't have any savings in hand." ”
"Didn't Lord Jiang give you a hundred taels of silver?"
"What's that for? Why don't you finish eating and drinking sooner? ”
Jiao went back aggrieved, and he was even more worried that his life would be unsustainable.
On this day, she met a tooth woman, and after a conspiracy, Jiao's went back and discussed with Qian Wenyan: "Yan, your father has an accident, our family's life is not as good as one day, have you ever thought about how to live in the future?" ”
Qian Wenyan can only cry, she is the same as the people in the Qian family's big house, in addition to being in the nest, bullying her own family can also be, and she can only face the society with this trick.
"Yan, have you thought about it, Master Jiang turned his face and didn't recognize people, it is a burden for us to leave this little evil obstacle." Jiao Shi pointed to the child in Qian Wenyan's arms.
"Woo, mother, what do you say? She's still so young, can't she just throw it away? ”
"Silly boy, there is a good family, the woman gave birth to five sons in a row, and now she is old, and she doesn't have a girl, I want to buy one, our baby, but it is good-looking, it is better to give it to someone else."
"Woo, how can I give up-"
"Silly girl, without this drag, my mother will find you a good family to marry, why don't you worry about not eating and drinking in the future? Marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, as a woman's family, you are young and beautiful, what are you afraid of. ”
Seeing that her daughter stopped talking, Jiao picked up her little granddaughter, and she kissed her and sent the child to the Ya Po's house, in exchange for five taels of silver.
In less than two days, the silver in Jiao's hand turned into polished rice, fine noodles, vegetables and meat, and the three of them ate and drank well for a month.
This mother can really lose, five taels of silver, but it is the cost of an ordinary person in Minghu City for a year. Even Ya Po admires Jiao's good mentality and is not afraid that she will starve in the future. For such a person, Ya Po quickly found another business for Jiao's family. This time, it is naturally not a naked human trafficking, but a different rhetoric.
Ya Po, who often works part-time as a matchmaker, this time, she found a mother-in-law for Qian Wenyan: "The man is older, but he has no in-laws, he is a scholar, and he has a shop, he has no worries about food and clothing, it is really a good family." ”
Qian Wenyan is unwilling: "I don't marry an old man, and I won't die, I'm fed up, old men are liars, woo." ”
Jiao had no choice but to go to the tooth woman: "Sister-in-law Wang, I have to ask you to help find it again, the child is unwilling to live or die, she doesn't want to marry someone so old." ”
Ya Po was taken aback, the old man was already fifty years old, she thought that Jiao and Qian Wenyan had inquired about each other's situation, and she didn't dare to say more, although she regretted that she couldn't get the rich matchmaker money, but she couldn't force Jiao.
As the saying goes, the car and boat shop should be killed if you are not guilty, it means that among these people, many people are abducted and deceived, this Ya Po is not a good thing, first Jiao Shi sold Qian Wenyan's daughter, and now Jiao Shi also sold Qian Wenyan, seeing that this money could not be obtained, Ya Po's eyes turned a few times, and she actually wanted to play Jiao's idea: "Aunt She, you actually, what are you still doing guarding that dead ghost?" It's better to go to the yamen, ask for righteousness, you can be your own home, one marries your parents, the second marries a free body, and I will help you find a good family, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”
Jiao hesitated, the man didn't come out of prison, who can guarantee that he won't come to work suddenly?
"Ah, sister-in-law Jin is still not guilty, when he beats you, how can he save face for you, he takes money to spend all day and wine, how can he think of your trouble?"
Thinking of Qian Xiangui's merciless slap on her, Jiao's family was no longer willing to guard Qian Xiangui's chicken-ribbed man.
Ya Po saw that there was an opportunity, and for several days, she surrounded Jiao's family, endlessly, and even found a helper in the yamen to do the paperwork of Jiao's and Qian Xiangui's righteousness.
This is to ask Qian Xiangui to press his handprint, and Qian Xiangui did not agree, but asked Jiao Shi to see him: "I was framed by Qian Wenhan and imprisoned, I don't know that my father has changed Lord Wang, you are outside, and you don't worry about it at all, I want our friendship, you go and beg him, can he redress me?" If I go out, don't you have a backer? ”
Jiao Shi hesitated, went home and rummaged through the cabinets, found a ruler, bought a box of snacks, and went to the back door of the county government with Qian Wencai, handed the post in, but was refused: "Mrs. said, I don't know what money is expensive first." ”
Jiao Shi was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he suppressed his anger and begged: "We are from Shanyang, and we have walked around with Lord Wang a lot that day. ”
"You go back first, Madame will wait for the master to go down and ask clearly."
At this moment, Wang Shenhai was facing the approval document of the Criminal Department, looking at Qian Xiangui's name in a daze, he only learned about it yesterday, and quickly transferred Qian Xiangui's file, the facts are there, Qian Xiangui bought the murderer to kill his nephew, which shocked him very much, the tiger poison does not eat the child, kiss the nephew, how can he do it? Thinking that he had been called a brother and sister to such a person, Wang Shenhai had a chill down his spine, he could even do it to his own nephew, if he didn't get what he wanted, wouldn't his life be over? Such a person is not worth risking to rescue.
What's more, the risk of rescuing is too great, the case has already passed through the criminal department, and if you want to change the sentence, there are too many people who are alarmed, so how much money and energy will it take.
In his heart, since Wang Shenhai heard that Qian Xiangui was about to be remarried by his daughter, and he also made an ugly affair of adultery and murder, he was very annoyed that he didn't know people clearly, and he refused to admit that he had ever had such a friend.
Qian Xiangui is about to be pressed to the military camp in Western Xinjiang, and those who are military slaves often don't live for more than three years, so what else do they have to worry about? Wang Shenhai didn't even go through the process of reviewing Qian Xiangui's case, and directly sent officials to escort him and several exiled prisoners on the road.
Qian Xiangui's madness has been cured, he actually endured the wind and food on the escort road, and successfully arrived at the Western Xinjiang military camp, because of his literacy, and finally asked him to help take care of the wounded soldiers. Wen Jin later heard that this person was as tenacious as the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, and had to sigh: "Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years." ”
Jiao's family was completely dead, and before Qian Xiangui left, she went through the formalities of righteousness, and Ya Po immediately asked her to put on a wedding dress and fill the room for the fifty-year-old prisoner.
Jiao's family saw that the prison student's high-gate compound and the shop business were good, and he thought that he had found a good home, but when he entered the door, he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't even shed tears of regret. The old prisoner is stingy, in order to save fuel, he is not allowed to light the lamp at night, usually eats, puts a salted fish on the table, looks at the next meal, and the steamed bun at home is a black bran noodles that can no longer be black, or coarse grain steamed bread of sorghum corn, on weekdays, even a meal of wheat noodles is not allowed to eat, Jiao's really can't bear it, and quarreled with the prisoner, was pulled by the old guy's hair, pressed on the bed is a violent beating, beating her nose and face swollen, just Qian Wenyan came to visit the old lady, the two hugged their heads and cried, Qian Wenyan was also frightened by the idea of marrying a good family and enjoying happiness. can't get married, and can't endure hardships to do things, Qian Wenyan was in a predicament for a while, and the tooth woman took the opportunity to pry up, and her whereabouts were obvious.
Since Qian Xiangui was imprisoned, Wen Jin no longer pays attention to this family, with the three Jiao family mothers and a pair and a half of rice buckets, what other waves can be found? She still has a lot to deal with now.
The first is kiwifruit, Shen Wan jumped up and down, Wen Jin really couldn't find a businessman who acted as an agent, and Sun Yanping alone was far from enough.
"Childe, there is a woman who calls herself Zhou Danniang looking for you."
Wen Jin was very strange, she didn't remember knowing someone Zhou Danniang.
"She said that she is good at Danqing, and she also works in needlework, and she is the person you are looking for."
"Oh, yes, yes, you bring her in." Wen Jin remembered that she had let go of her mouth and wanted to find someone to develop her snakeskin belt business, during this time, she didn't bother about this at all, now that someone came to the door, it was indispensable to pay attention to it, if the kiwi didn't work, she could gain something in other aspects, which was also an unexpected joy.
"Childe, Zhou Danniang is here."
"Well, come on."
Wen Jin put away the information sheets of the big families in Minghu City collected by Sun Yanping in the drawer, and then walked out of the room.
Although Zhou Danniang does not apply fat powder, her black and shiny hair is only combed with a simple snail bun at the back of her head, with a hairpin hairpin, wearing a simple moon-white cloth skirt, the upper body is a light pink muslin short shirt, covered with an indigo gown, up and down the body, so simple that it can no longer be simple, but it is still difficult to hide the beauty of nature, I saw her elegantly give Wen Jin a salute: "Little girl Zhou Danniang, meet Shen Gongzi." ”
The movements are like flowing water, there is no inappropriateness, there is no movement that is not elegant and charming, and there are all kinds of envy and jealousy that look at a pomegranate on the side.
Wen Jin suspected that Zhou Danniang was a down-and-out family member, so her tone was more gentle: "Have you brought your own paintings and needlework?" ”
"Brought it." Zhou Danniang gave the pomegranate the small burden in her hand.
The pomegranate was taken to the table of the eight immortals next to Wen Jin's seat, opened, there were two fans inside, one was the landscape, painting the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River with a small bridge and flowing water, the whole picture was extremely elegant, only by the small bridge, a small flower with a bright color was painted, so that the picture was lively and bright all of a sudden, the other is a flower and bird painting, next to the blooming peony, there was a pair of cuckoos staring at each other, just into the eyes, she saw the peony first, and when she looked at the cuckoo carefully, she had forgotten the peony next to her, and her intuition was just a background. The whole picture is rich and bright, but there is no trace of kitsch and unbearable.
Wen Jin pays the most attention to the color matching, one of the two paintings is elegant and lively, the other is gorgeous and graceful, and the bold layout of the color is ingenious, which makes people forget the vulgar, which is exactly the person she wants.
Zhou Danniang's female red is naturally impeccable, especially embroidery, which is by no means something that a woman from an ordinary family can make.
"Zhou Danniang's embroidery skills, I'm afraid everyone came from it, right?" Wen Jin asked.
"Mr. Qian, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from, let alone Danniang, a little woman? You only talk about my paintings and needlework, but you can get into the eyes of the child? ”
"It's in, it's too in." Wen Jin also thought that Zhou Danniang was a broken woman, she didn't think much about it, and was about to have a deep talk with Zhou Danniang, but when she saw Pomegranate frowning, she seemed to be desperately trying to recall something, and couldn't help but turn her eyes away.
"You, you're a peony girl!" Pomegranate glared at Zhou Danniang.
"It used to be! When the peony girl walked out of the Lvyi Building, she was already dead, I am Zhou Danniang. ”
Seeing Wen Jin frowning slightly, Zhou Danniang's expression was a little gloomy, and she was a little resolute: "I am still a young man and not a layman, and he will not look at me in the eyes of ordinary people, but I didn't expect me to be wrong." ”
Pomegranate said angrily: "You seduced Zhou Gongzi and caused him to be kicked out by his family, now, do you still want to harm our son?" ”
Peony ignored the pomegranate, but glanced at Wen Jin with a charming look: "You son, can you be seduced by a vulgar fan like me?" ”
"Don't think about putting a top hat on our son, she doesn't eat this." Pomegranates began to drive people.
"Mr. Qian, you want Gong Danqing and female celebrities, since I can meet the requirements, why do you stick to my identity? Peony thought to himself that he hadn't done anything wrong, but he was just more miserable than you, everyone has their own difficulties, and you won't give me a way out and let me support myself? ”
In these complaints, there is a hint of edge, Wen Jin can't help but be moved, she has heard the general life experience of the peony girl, she has been sold into the Qinglou since she was a child, and she has studied art hard, just to be able to use this way in the future in exchange for her own innocence, but she didn't expect the old bustard to be greedy enough, or ruined her, and later, Peony still tried her best to fight, and finally became the current good family.
"What about Gongzi Zhou? Why didn't he come out and find something to do? ”
"Hehe, what else can a nerd know except a few crooked poems? Peony comes out to do things, and it's the same. ”
Pomegranate didn't expect Peony to be such an infatuated woman, and she was a little more respectful to her, and said worriedly: "Then you are not afraid of Lao Zhuhuang, he doesn't want you anymore?" ”
Peony smiled again: "So I have to work harder now, I can support myself for the rest of my life, as long as I don't give up on myself, I'm not afraid of living uncomfortably." Zhou Lang can redeem Danniang regardless of being abandoned by his family, Danniang should repay him with a lifetime, as long as he is willing to accept it one day, Danniang will not give up for a day. ”
Wen Jin looked at the two of them and asked and answered, the resolute look on Danniang's face and the clear eyes proved that she was not lying, and she couldn't help but be moved.
The supreme academy will also cultivate scum like Qian Xiangui, the filthy Qinglou, and even walked out of a strange woman like Danniang, Wen Jin is not the kind of Taoist gentleman who is fake and high, how can he refuse to give Danniang the opportunity to support herself because of his background?
"Pomegranate is going to make us tea, Danniang, please sit down, and listen to me."
Zhou Danniang knew that her opportunity had come, the expression on her face relaxed slightly, and when Pomegranate went out, she said in a low voice: "Mr. Qian is really very person-in-law, Danniang will be cautious and not cause trouble to Mr. Qian." ”
Wen Jin took out a snakeskin belt with a green pattern, on which were ordered square silver ornaments with eight gemstone patterns, which were plain and elegant without losing their beauty, which she pointed out to make pomegranates.
Danniang took it in her hands with both hands, and was amazed, and finally her face changed slightly: "This is snakeskin?" ”
"Uh-huh."
"I think it's embroidered, and I still want to know which skillful hand can win the heavens." She said as she looked through it, "Childe is ingenious, he can actually think of this." ”
"I'm afraid that some people won't be able to accept ......"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, as long as one person can accept it, we people in Minghu City can accept it."
"Who?"
"Liao Chengtian, the third son of the Governor's Palace, he loves to pursue novelty things the most, and he is also handsome and extraordinary, every year the seasons change, the appearance and color of the clothes he wears are the styles and colors that the rich sons of the whole city want, for this reason, the third prince of Liao is very distressed, and has to make seven or eight sets of clothes every season, in order to be different from others."
Wen Jin heard this for the first time, and her eyes widened in surprise, yes, when she arrived in Minghu City, the highest official she came into contact with was Lu Can, and the son of the Lu family was only ten years old, and he didn't have the consciousness of pursuing fashion.
"But how do you give this thing to Liao Sangongzi?" Since Danniang knows Liao Sangongzi, she must be able to give Wen Jin an idea.
"This is not easy, the third son of Liao is from Mrs. Liao, he is smart and handsome, and he is extremely favored at home, we ordinary people can't see him." Danniang tilted her head and thought about it: "Old Lady Liao's birthday is after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a banquet for guests every year. ”
"Okay, thank you Danniang for mentioning it."
"Mr. Qian is polite."
Wen Jin changed the topic and asked Danniang how to cooperate with herself: "I have rented a small courtyard, you need to go over to do things every day, the fourth day of January, there are still a few craftsmen there, they will be at your disposal in the future, these snake skins, in addition to making belts, can also be made of other accessories, such as pencil cases, forehead wipes, etc., you decide according to the material and pattern, I don't know if Danniang thinks it is feasible?" ”
"Okay!"
"As for your remuneration, tentatively set one tael of silver a month, and for each fine product made, the part of the profit that is higher than twenty taels of silver will be given to you as a reward." "Okay!"
...
