Cheng Qingwan lay on the bed, thinking of that embrace, she couldn't sleep for a long time.

She thought that Yuanqi would have something to say, but she didn't expect that in the end, she only said, 'Go to sleep.' ’

She rolled over and sighed softly, thinking that this was a good thing, if he really said it, how would she answer?

"Sister Wanwan, haven't you slept yet?" Lian Zhi rubbed his worried eyes and looked at the person next to him.

Cheng Qingwan was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I fell asleep immediately, did I wake you up?" ”

Lian Zhi shook his head: "No, did Sister Wanwan go out just now?" ”

Cheng Qingwan thought of what happened just now, her face turned red, and then she changed the topic: "Did it snow over there last year?" ”

"Well, it's been snowing heavily for several days, and we can't even get out."

Cheng Qingwan thought for a while, and then said, "Go to sleep, and tomorrow accompany me to the town to find a master who repairs the house and repair our roof." ”

"Okay." Lian Zhi nodded and closed his eyes obediently.

Cheng Qingwan also closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.

She slept soundly until noon the next day, when she woke up slowly.

Cheng Qingwan opened her eyes and looked at the sun, so she immediately got up and said to the two girls in front of the window, "Have you had lunch?" Why don't you wake me up? ”

Song Qiaoqiao said while flipping the abacus: "Lian Zhi said that you had a lot of worries last night, and you didn't sleep in the middle of the night, so we didn't call you." Lunch was left for you, in the pot. ”

"Oh, no, it's today...... I'm going to the town to find a repair master. ”

"It's okay, Lord Yuan left the carriage for us, and it will be too late for you to go back after lunch."

"And how did he go?" As soon as Cheng Qingwan's voice fell, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she was interrupted just as she wanted to explain.

"Riding horses, several people came to walk together." Song Qiaoqiao looked at the abacus she had made a mistake and patted her head: "Oops, I miscalculated again." ”

Lian Zhi leaned over to take a look and pointed to a place: "Sister Qiaoqiao, you are wrong here." ”

Cheng Qingwan saw that the two of them were concentrating on studying the abacus, so she hurriedly walked out.

"Auntie, after lunch, I'll go to the town and ask someone to repair the roof of our house, so that it won't snow this year, and the house will be like a water curtain hole."

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, he hurriedly put down the embroidery in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go together, just enough to take these embroideries and sell them and buy some New Year's goods." It's getting colder and colder these days, and if it snows in a few days, you have to buy some carbon back. ”

"Okay." Cheng Qingwan responded with a smile, walked to the kitchen, picked up the wheat rice in the pot, and ate it in three or two clicks.

She looked at the carriage placed in the yard, touched the bracelet in her hand, and thought thoughtfully for a while.

Cheng Hua'er watched her daughter staring at the carriage in the yard, so she walked out and said softly: "This Lord Yuan is really polite, he left ten taels of silver and said that it was the accommodation fee, and left the carriage to us." ”

Cheng Qingwan was slightly stunned, turned her head and asked, "Left the accommodation fee?" ”

"Yes, it's a full ten taels of silver."

"Did you say that you want to take back what was against me?"

"No, what did he get here?"

Cheng Qingwan touched the bracelet in her hand and shook her head gently.

Cheng Hua'er looked at her daughter's expression, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Wanwan, A-Niang really doesn't want you to go back to the capital, but if you really like him, he really likes you, and A-Niang also agrees." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded subconsciously, and after realizing something, she immediately turned around and asked, "A-Niang, did you make up something in your brain?" ”

Cheng Hua'er looked like I understood, and got into the carriage with the embroidery.

Cheng Qingwan pursed her lips, went into the house to pack some things, and then set up the carriage and traveled.

Aunt Liu, Cheng Huaer and Lian Zheng Lianzhi sat in the carriage, and Song Qiaoqiao sat outside to accompany her.

"I heard that the village chief was decided this morning, and this village chief was personally selected by Wei County Order." Song Qiaoqiao peeled a chestnut and handed it to her mouth.

"Are you from another village?"

"No, it's Song Qian, the man who lives in the east of the village. He is only in his twenties, but his parents are dead and his family is poor. ”

Cheng Qingwan thought about this person carefully, but found nothing: "Why have I never heard of this person?" ”

"He is a sick man, and he usually studies at home, I don't know why, Lord Yuan recommended him to Wei County."

Cheng Qingwan turned her head to look at the person next to her: "How do you know so well?" ”

"This is something that everyone in the village knows, you can just find two women to sit next to you, and you can't hear anything. You just don't like to listen to gossip. ”

"That's not it, Songjia Village is xenophobic, our family is an outsider, and after falling out with Song, we are even poorer and can't even afford to eat, and everyone in the village will step on it. At that time, how could we possibly socialize with these people. Cheng Qingwan had a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Now, my family is full, do you think I still need to take care of them?" ”

"Wanwan, I know. After Daddy's death, my aunt and I also suffered from the eyes of many people, I had no friends in the village, and they all disliked me for not being able to speak and being introverted. It's good to have you. ”

Song Qiaoqiao had tears in her eyes and leaned on her shoulder.

Cheng Qingwan was quite moved at first, until she turned her head and saw her wiping her tears and snot with her sleeve.

"To tell you the truth, didn't you come here to wipe your nose?"

"Not then." Song Qiaoqiao hugged her and buried her face behind her shoulder: "Behind you, it's more windproof." ”

Cheng Qingwan was not moved at all in her heart, resisted the urge to kick people down, and stuffed her into the carriage.

After a while, after arriving in the town, she parked the carriage in the backyard of Zuifenglou and asked Xiao Er to help watch it.

Subsequently, Cheng Huaer led everyone into an embroidery building.

As soon as I entered, a proprietress covered in gold and silver accessories greeted me.

"Ouch, it's you, I haven't been here for a long time."

Cheng Hua'er greeted her with a smile on her face, and then said with a smile: "I haven't been in good health recently, so I didn't bother." ”

"What bothering me about you and me, go upstairs and sit down for a cup of tea." The proprietress pulled the woman upstairs and said with a smile: "After seeing your embroidery, a few ladies have always wanted to see you, and it just so happens that they are also there today, why don't you meet them?" ”

"Why are they seeing me?"

"In another year, there will be a general election. The wealthy merchants in our town all wanted to send their daughters to the palace, and they sent them to me three years ago to learn embroidery. The proprietress smiled and brought people into a private room, poured tea and said: "You are from Beijing, and your embroidery is top-notch, they all want to invite you to teach." ”
