After waking up in the middle of the night, Layue wiped her face and talked and laughed with Xiaodouzi for half the night, completely lost her sleepiness, and simply got up and lit the lamp to do embroidery work by candlelight.

Xiaodouzi looked at the sachet embroidered by the young lady and said enviously, "On weekdays, the young lady is busy and doesn't see much embroidery work, I can't imagine that the embroidery is so good, I look at this stitch, although the embroidered lotus is fake at a glance, but there is a very simple and concise feeling, what kind of embroidery is this?" ”

"This," Layue smiled and replaced it with a brown embroidery thread, "This is the pattern on the only embroidery bag that my father left for me when I was a child, and I will only do this one, so I think about it every day and want to learn it, and then I really figured it out, my mother's embroidery bag was buried with my father, and now I think about it, I just embroider and play, you have to ask me what this is called embroidery, I really don't know it." ”

The two talked again, and when Layue embroidered three lotus petals, the sky was also bright, and the girl around the city came to invite her, Layue sighed, what should be faced is still to be faced after all.

The figure of the mother-in-law disappeared in the flower hall where she usually ate, and even the depressing atmosphere was much more relaxed, Zhicheng sat on the left, and Juan Niang sat on the lower left, and the position on the right was vacant.

It's not a good thing for her to have this position vacant today, it will be exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver, Layue swept around with cold eyes, and if she had nothing to do, she was going to sit down on the chair under Juan Niang, but she was stopped by Zhicheng, "Yueniang, you sit here." ”

"No need, usually Juan Niang sits there, how did I change my position today, I'm used to sitting in the next head, and the person is not steady." Layue said and sat down under Juan Niang.

Seeing that this careful thinking was recognized, Zhicheng cleared his throat in embarrassment, smiled gently, and said to Layue, "I trained Juan Niang last night, Chongyang was wrong with her the day before yesterday, don't be angry with her." ”

"I'm not angry, I'm not blackmailed, and I'm not missing a penny." Layue replied politely and politely, and the tone was more than that of outsiders.

Seeing her like this, Zhicheng felt even more embarrassed to speak, but his mother's safety was paramount, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he had to be cheeky and simply pick it up and say something bright, "Yueniang, you have to help me with the ransom this time." Our family doesn't have so much cash, I checked yesterday and found out that so many places in our family's business are just just maintaining turnover, there is nothing left, and the total has only gotten three thousand taels of silver, and the remaining seven thousand taels You have to find a way to make up for it, and I will double it back to you when I turn around. ”

Layue pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth, "Zhicheng, you don't have to joke, Yecheng has not been very good in the past few years, everyone's business is the same, not to mention that Xing Ji Rouge had a big accident in March, and now the vitality has not recovered, yesterday I went to the shop to check the account book, and there was only a few hundred taels of silver left, and I couldn't even pay the rent next year, I am still worried here and don't know where to borrow silver, maybe it will be closed, how can I get seven thousand taels for you?" ”

Juan Niang pouted and glanced at her contemptuously, and then looked at the city, "I can still make up two thousand taels there, you can use the city first, only your own people are distressed and panicked when something happens to your mother, and my mother doesn't know what kind of drunkenness she suffered in the hands of that group of strongmen, our family still has a big heart that can drink wine, and usually my mother really hurts her in vain." ”

Is this an irony for her drunkenness yesterday? Layue sneered and looked at Juan Niang with a smile, "What Juan Niang said is that I am naturally not a good daughter-in-law, I am not filial piety on weekdays, and now I can't come up with money to save the emergency, but my sister, who goes out to play and enjoy a chrysanthemum, has to bring eight thousand taels of pocket money to only two thousand taels of silver?" This...... Is your mother not as valuable as the pocket money you bring when you go out? I don't understand what kind of truth this is, why don't you explain it to us? ”

In terms of speaking, a woman from a merchant family in Layue really didn't accept anyone. used to be stupid, forced to learn from those nests, and said a word like a mosquito hummed before being bullied and pinched by a shy daughter-in-law who blushed for a long time, and was bullied and pinched by others, how could he still let this kind of woman ride on his neck.

Juan Niang is also not enough to eat humiliation, so it is not a long lesson, several times in the hands of Layue openly and secretly, except for the first time we successfully planted her once, and then did not win, but still spared no effort to find fault, as if one day not to be scolded by Layue back a few words will not be happy.

This time, again, I was blocked by Layue's words, and suddenly my face was red and my eyes were red and I wanted to sue again, but Zhicheng asked for Layue today, so she naturally wouldn't face her, and reprimanded her a few words to shut up, and then said softly to Layue, "Yueniang, I know that Ping Suniang is too strict with you, and you are wronged, now that I beg you, you can help me and find a way to help me raise some money." ”

In fact, it is not difficult for the Zhang family to really raise 10,000 taels of silver, it is enough to sell a few shops, but the city has always loved face, and this is a loss of face.

She understood, but she didn't want to help, she didn't help but it was okay to show the way, so she smiled softly, she said, "Zhicheng, in fact, I haven't understood, now such a big thing, there is a big tree in front of me, why not look for some money, to say that the glory and wealth, the official family of the Dafu Dynasty is no matter how poor it is, it is stronger than our family The gap between heaven and earth, you just need to write a letter to the Prime Minister, cry a little about the difficulty, ten thousand taels of silver, not a matter of a cow's hair." ”

It seems that the city of thought will use some reason to travel more than a thousand miles too late to prevaricate, and she added, "Although it is far away to travel thousands of miles, it is only two days for fast horses day and night, as long as there is silver in the silver number, we can get it in Yecheng, how easy it is, where to use such a sad face, the thin man has a knife on his body, and he can't touch the money when he is white." ”

In fact, there is another reason for her words, every time the prime minister is mentioned, the two of them are dodgy, Layue strongly suspects that the young lady of the prime minister's family was abducted by the city and eloped with him, otherwise how could Juanniang's character never show off her mother's family, and Zhicheng High School didn't even have an official position? However, if it elopes, it will blame the daughter of the prime minister's family, and even if it is a concubine, it is impossible not to be held accountable.

This fact is so strange that it is unpredictable.

After saying this, Layue looked at the city's reaction with cold eyes.

Seeing that his face turned blue, the smile on his face could no longer be hung up, and he said unhappily, "The affairs in the court are intertwined and complicated, Yueniang, you don't know the powerful relationship between this, so you don't have to think about your father-in-law, now only by yourself can find a way is right, this kind of trivial matter involves your father-in-law, and he may be used by someone with a heart to do something." ”
