Chapter 45 Both and Want
Rui Xue touched the material brought by the embroidery girl and chuckled.
"Why do you want to change, don't you know, the eldest lady, I'm also half a Bishui person. Irises are good, just use it. ”
The embroidery girl seemed to know something terrible, and raised her hand to cover her mouth in shock.
The people of Bishui are in Dalan, and they are foreign outcasts who can't be lower.
Even if there is such a half-mixed face, he will not say that he has the blood of Bishui like Rui Xue.
Sure enough, there are a lot of pickles in these high-ranking mansions, and she got another big news today.
Huaiyu was a little stunned, and then said, Li Ningshuang's daughter is a little different.
Rui Xue ignored the slightly changing expressions of the two, selected a piece of material, and handed it to the embroiderer.
"Embroider dark lines with silk threads of the same color, and only embroider the flowers on the skirt and placket. The rest is free for you to play. ”
The embroidered lady took it with a smile: "The eldest lady shows off her wisdom, this is very good, it will not be too dazzling and abrupt, and it can also meet the wishes of the bride." ”
Then the tone of the conversation changed: "But if you embroider dark lines, I'm afraid it's too late for this time, and the price is ......."
Without waiting for Rui Xue to speak, Huaiyu said, "Could the Prime Minister be without your silver?" The wedding dress is the most important dress in a woman's life, if you can't do it, Kyoto is not without another family. ”
"Oh, look at what Madame said, even if you are blind to the embroidery girl, you won't delay the happy event, don't worry, you will definitely be able to satisfy everyone." The embroidery girl is full of smiles, as long as the money is in place, it is easy to say anything.
The matter of the wedding dress was finalized, and Huaiyu asked the servant woman to send the embroidery girl out, but she sat down in the Ruixue House again.
"Wanwan, your mother......"
"Hmm~ My mother is from Bishui, I thought the eldest lady knew." Ruixue hurriedly interrupted her.
She realized early on that Huaiyu had something to say to her, and what Huaiyu wanted to say was definitely something she didn't like and didn't want to hear.
Huaiyu nodded slightly, a little unsure of how to continue the conversation.
Danko, who was very embarrassed and picked at his fingertips.
Huaiyu's fingers were white and slender, but the ten fingernails were pitted.
Even if it was painted with brightly colored danko, it couldn't cover the long and short flesh thorns that she had torn on the nail bed.
"Do you know where the title deed I saw with you last time?"
Rui Xue walked to the desk and spread out the manuscript paper to practice calligraphy.
Huaiyu wouldn't be interested in what Li Ningshuang left behind, so it must be Jiang Huai's idea to beat her again.
She hadn't gone to Jiang Huai to ask for old accounts, Jiang Huai had already targeted her first, and she also wanted to see what kind of double reed these two people were singing.
"You know, that's the title deed of Eighteen Mile Shop."
Huaiyu finally understood what Jiang Huai wanted.
Jiang Huai has often gathered with important officials from the DPRK and China recently, but she was out of order yesterday and did not listen carefully to what Jiang Huai and them discussed.
Thinking about it today, they are planning to open the dock and reopen trade with the clear water.
Most of the people gathered in Shibalipu are clear water displaced people, who have lived there for more than ten years, and it is also the only place that can be used as a home to give them shelter from the wind and rain.
It is also close to the estuary, which is convenient for transporting goods to the wharf, and it is only 18 miles away from Kyoto.
Although Jiang Huai has the right to operate, the land has never been his.
The people who live there can't be willingly controlled by him.
If Jiang Huai got the title deed, it would be different, he could use it to threaten, drive them away, and even kill them.
When the dock is opened and the two countries are traded, those people in Bishui will be enslaved by Jiang Huai, make money for him, and work hard for him.
He is now anxious to get the title deed in Ruixue's hand because Ruixue is not married yet, and she is still his daughter of Jiang Huai.
It is only natural to inherit the inheritance of his deceased wife.
Once Rui Xue marries into King Ning's Mansion and takes away Li Ningshuang's relics in the form of a dowry, it will be even more difficult for him to take it back.
He wanted fame and fame, endless money, and tolerance in the eyes of the world.
All the vicious tricks are controlled by others to complete for him, and his hands will not be stained with any dirt.
Huaiyu closed her eyes, she didn't know whether she should tell Ruixue about these things.
With bone jade on one side and thousands or even tens of thousands of innocent Bishui people on the other, she can't make a choice now.
With her understanding of Rui Xue, even if she told the truth of the matter, it would be impossible for Rui Xue to give the title deed with both hands.
A little distracted, he got up and walked to the desk, and saw that Ruixue was practicing calligraphy seriously, and he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to discuss with her.
"So that's the case, no wonder you want to embroider irises on your wedding dress. In that case, then you take care of it, and I will take care of the wedding for you. ”
Rui Xue only nodded slightly, it seemed that Jiang Huai did not tell Huaiyu about the importance of the land deed.
Huaiyu was probably coerced by Jiang Huai to inquire about her.
What's next? Steal, rob, or cheat?
Rui Xue waited quietly, but Huaiyu didn't speak anymore as if she had been silenced.
He stood for a long time, not knowing what to say, before turning and leaving.
Seeing that there were no others in the courtyard, Ruixue shouted into the courtyard: "Xing, when will Xiao Tao come back." ”
After a while, Xiao Xing entered the house with a plate of refreshments.
"Miss, let's take a break, Xiao Tao can't come back until it's about dark, and it's the same if you leave it to the slave."
Rui Xue wrote the rules for the hook of the last stroke, and then put down the pen.
"No, I'm afraid that she will be punished, so I can't rest assured. Her arm was still swollen, and she didn't know if it hurt her bones. ”
Xiao Xing's hand pouring tea paused slightly, Miss treats Xiao Tao differently after all, she started a little heavier yesterday, Miss is afraid that she will be unhappy.
The conversation between her and Xiao Tao last night, Miss probably heard it, did she do something too much, and made the young lady unhappy.
"Miss, the slave was reckless yesterday, and she won't do it again in the future."
Rui Xue knew that this child was very thoughtful, and she was afraid that she had misunderstood what she meant.
Hurriedly stepped forward and shook her hand: "Oops, I didn't mean that. You are not reckless at all, if it weren't for you yesterday, Xiao Tao Bacheng and I would still be in the mud puddle now. ”
"That's what a slave should do, and Miss doesn't need to worry about it."
Rui Xue patted her hand: "When there are no outsiders in the future, you don't have to call yourself a slave, just be commensurate with you and me like Xiao Tao." ”
Xiao Xing quickly pulled out her hand: "The slave doesn't dare, Xiao Tao grew up with the young lady, and the feelings are naturally different." Slaves and maids cannot be compared. ”
Rui Xue sighed, this baby has been poisoned too deeply, take your time, do you really change your heart.
She knows that talking about equality is a fantasy.
But at least the people around her who are close to her, she doesn't want to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Everyone wants to live well in this world, mutual understanding and cooperation are the most unbreakable vows.
Just like Wanwan's mother-in-law Li Ningshuang once did.
