"I'm not in good health, I can't get out of bed for the first few days, don't be embarrassed for me."

Cheng Qingwan listened to this, picked up the teacup, and the fragrance of tea came to her nose, at this moment, she seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere.

"Is this tea the cloud tea of the capital?"

The proprietress looked at her in surprise and asked softly, "Who is this?" ”

"My daughter." Cheng Hua'er played with the teacup and said with a smile.

"It turned out to be a precious daughter, you are right, this is indeed the cloud tea in the capital, which was given by a distinguished guest a few days ago." The proprietress walked to her side with a smile and looked up and down: "You are the daughter of the painting, and you must be very skilled in embroidery." Your mother is not in good health, so it's better for you to come, and I'll give you a tael of silver a month. ”

Cheng Qingwan lowered her eyes, looked at the jeweled gold bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, and smiled softly: "I don't know how to embroider." ”

"I didn't teach her, and she's timid, don't scare her." Cheng Hua'er sat up straight and said with a smile: "I understand your intentions, but I am really seriously ill, if you still look at our love for so many years, don't talk about it anymore." ”

The proprietress knew that she could not be moved, sighed softly, and brought the embroidery to look at it.

"The old rule, one tael a pair, I'll give you ten taels of silver."

Cheng Hua'er nodded with a smile, then got up and said, "It just so happened that I took the money to buy New Year's goods." ”

The proprietress handed her the silver and said, "No more sitting?" ”

"No, we're sitting here with a big bunch of people and it's going to affect your business." Cheng Hua'er put the silver away and walked downstairs with a smile.

The proprietress sent people out of the door all the way, and when she returned upstairs, she saw a man standing in the private room.

"Is that the woman just now?"

The proprietress nodded and said regretfully: "For so many years, her embroidery has been brought to my store, but she refuses to come to me as an embroiderer." ”

The man took the embroideries and examined them one by one, and then threw a purse on the table: "There are a hundred taels here, and I want all these embroideries." In the future, if all her embroidery is kept for me, you only need to go to Chengnan Huafu to report the name of the third master, and someone will come to pick it up. ”

"Okay, I'll make sure it's done." The proprietress smiled and put away the bag of silver, and responded flatteringly.

As soon as Cheng Qingwan walked out of the embroidery building, she came to the woman's side and asked, "Auntie, is this embroidery building doing a good business?" ”

"There's just one in town, and business is naturally good."

"I see that the proprietress is wearing a lot of jewelry, and if I don't look at it carefully, I think it is the proprietress of the gold store."

Cheng Hua'er smiled: "This proprietress loves money, but she is also a kind person." Most of the workers in her embroidery building were women who were abandoned by her husband's family and driven out by her mother's family. ”

Cheng Qingwan turned around and glanced at the embroidery building, and said softly: "Then why didn't A-Niang agree to the boss's request?" ”

The expression on Cheng Hua'er's face froze, and then she pretended not to hear it, and walked into a jewelry store quickly.

Cheng Qingwan lowered her head and smiled, and followed the other people in.

As soon as I entered the door, I was pulled by the woman to dress up, what butterfly golden hairpin, peony hairpin, as long as I think it looks good, I will put it on my head.

Xiao Er walked over with a pair of well-made peach blossom walkers, and introduced with a smile: "Madam, girl, look at this pair of steps, they are also very good-looking." ”

Cheng Hua'er turned around and picked it up, and gestured on her daughter's head: "Is this good-looking?" ”

"Little Er, have you even entertained beggars in your family?" A few women not far away, clasping their hands, looked at this side and said disdainfully: "Such a beautiful peach blossom step, they have the money to buy it." ”

"That's right, I'm so tattered that I'm embarrassed to step into this store."

Cheng Qingwan shook the peach blossom step and chuckled: "You are dressed like a person, but I haven't seen you speak human words." ”

"You dare to talk back?" The woman in pink walked up to her and looked up and down: "My brother-in-law is the newly appointed pavilion chief, what kind of thing are you, you don't have a decent piece of jewelry on your body." People are poor and love to give birth, and the family has a sour taste of poverty. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people behind them were angry.

Cheng Qingwan rubbed her wrists, stood up, and looked down at her: "I'm your father, why don't you kneel down and scream?" ”

Seeing that she was speechless with anger, she said to Xiao Er with a smile: "Wrap up everything I tried just now." ”

"Okay." Xiao Er responded with a full mouth, and immediately started to wrap it.

When the girl in pink saw it, she hurriedly blocked Xiao Er's way, picked up the peach blossom step shake and said provocatively: "I also want this step shake, Xiao Er will wrap me up." ”

"This ...... There's also a pair in the store, so I'm going to wrap that one up for you. ”

"No, I want this pair!" The girl in pink held her head high: "I'll give you a tael of silver, and I'll pick it up for me immediately." ”

"Girl, we all sell two taels of silver for this step, don't be embarrassed for me." Xiao Er touched the sweat on his forehead, turned around and wanted to leave.

"I'll give you five taels, pick it up immediately!"

Cheng Qingwan blinked, no matter how exquisite the workmanship of this step is, it can't reach five taels of silver.

Sure enough, people are stupid and have a lot of money.

She chuckled and sat down: "Xiao Er, I don't want it, just sell it to her for five taels of silver." ”

"Okay, this girl, wait a minute."

When the girl in pink heard this, she realized that she had been tricked, she walked up to the person angrily and pointed at her nose: "You dare to trick me!" ”

"Heaven and earth conscience, I just didn't say a word." Cheng Qingwan played with the hairpin in her hand, with a smile on her eyebrows: "What, do you want to repay the debt now?" Just now, you sang a harmony with the shopkeeper and raised the price to five taels. ”

"yes, if you don't, we'll do it." Cheng Hua'er raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of provocation: "I don't know who it is, as soon as I enter the door, I show off that I am the sister of the pavilion chief, so I can't take out such a little money." ”

"You wait for me!" The woman in pink was flushed when she was said, took out the silver and put it on the counter, and left angrily with the hairpin.

Cheng Qingwan watched the women walk out of the store in a hurry, and shook her head: "Neurotic." ”

Xiao Er patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It can be regarded as sending these big Buddhas away." ”

"Is that really the pavilion chief's aunt?" Cheng Hua'er looked at the newly taken hairpin and asked.

"Yes, this aunt is so arrogant and domineering, and this new pavilion chief will definitely not be much better."

Cheng Qingwan held a hairpin and gestured on the branches: "This aunt is in a hurry, she doesn't look very smart, who are those around her?" ”

"It's the daughter of a rich businessman, and it's not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Cheng Qingwan thought about it carefully for a while, and asked Song Qiaoqiao: "Did the proprietress of the embroidery building just now say that several wealthy businessmen in the town want to send their daughters to the palace?" ”
