The sky is blue, and the whole town wakes up to the crisp chirping of larks.

Under the shroud of verdant creepers, on the ground paved with ancient bluestone slabs, there is an old courtyard house.

Mist-shrouded streams pass through the corners, and puddles of fresh moss under the branches of cypress trees form puddles. Exquisitely crafted old-fashioned embroidery sheds are built in the shadows of bizarre trees.

Shen Qingtang is embroidering, which is a well-known double-sided embroidery in Suzhou embroidery.

The slender fingers are like butterflies wearing flowers, and the slender figure is wrapped in a loose blue silk shirt, showing the style of the water town.

The colorful embroidery threads in the bamboo basket are closely arranged, the colorful peonies on the embroidered surface gradually take shape, and a butterfly is deceived into flying to stop.

"You let me in, I'll tell her personally," the mean female voice sounded, "After all, she is the daughter of the Shen family, and if such a big thing happens in the family, she also has to take a responsibility!" ”

"Who allowed you to come to our house, Tang Tang is my granddaughter who was raised since childhood, and our Su family doesn't sell our daughter!"

Grandma Su pushed Mo Lan, but because she was too old, she was taken advantage of by Mo Lan without checking for a while.

She rushed straight to the backyard, kicked her feet in high heels to the embroidery shed, stood up in front of Shen Qingtang, and said with a sneer: "The illegitimate daughter born to the little lady really can't get on the stage, don't you know how to say hello when you see the elders?" ”

Shen Qingtang pinched the fingertips of the needle and turned faintly white, put down the needle and thread, got up and said: "The upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, isn't it the family style of the Shen family?" In the final analysis, Shen Yan's only care for me is 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Other than that, I haven't even seen my biological father in person. ”

Shen Qingtang's biological mother Su Xin is a well-known beauty in the town, and she is also the only heir of the Su embroidery family, which is tantamount to adding two points of mystery to her.

When the swinger Shen Yan came to the town for a tour, he became interested in Su Xin, and quickly coaxed the beauty who was ignorant of the world.

It wasn't until Moran came to the door with a group of men that Su Xin knew that he already had a wife and daughter.

Countless foul words spread throughout the town, and the arrogant Su Xin instantly became a representative of self-love and a slut.

She couldn't stand the stimulation, suffered from postpartum depression, lost her desire to survive and committed suicide in the lake, leaving only Shen Qingtang, who was less than a month, and her elderly grandmother Su.

Mo Lan is Shen Yan's original wife, Shen Yan doesn't know if it's because of her weakness or because of her affection, he hasn't looked at Shen Qingtang for so many years.

Moran looked at her contemptuously and sneered, "You are twenty-two years old now, and you must have nearly 300,000 in total." You're so backbone, you'd better return the money first. ”

Su Xiu's income is not high, and Su's grandmother has an old-fashioned temperament, so the way to buy and sell is even more problematic.

Mo Lan was sure that the Su family couldn't come up with so much money, and the sneer on his face grew bigger and bigger.

Shen Qingtang didn't get angry, smiled good-naturedly and said, "Don't worry." When Shen Yan dies, I will ask the best funeral home to handle the aftermath for him and ensure that he leaves in style. ”

Grandma Su listened for a long time, and walked slowly to the courtyard, her old face full of smiles: "Hmph, you don't know your wishful thinking." Shen Mingyue ran away from the marriage, the Shen family had to give an explanation, and they were reluctant to give their baby daughter, so they wanted to push Tang Tang into the fire pit. You've got a lot to think about! ”

The news of Shen Mingyue's escape from marriage was overwhelming, and even in this remote town, everyone knew about it.

The tragic fiancé is a well-known killer in the business circle, and tens of thousands of champagne roses were arranged at the engagement site, and invitations were all sent.

She walked neatly and neatly, and it is said that she also brought a mixed-race male model from five countries, a large amount of liquidity, and threw the company with broken funds and her angry fiancé to the Shen family's parents.

The god-killing fiancé threatened to make Shen Mingyue doomed, if the Shen family felt sorry for Shen Mingyue and found a new daughter to marry, he could accept it.

It's obviously just angry talk, but the Shen family really has another daughter to make up for this sinkhole.

Moran had no choice but to come to the Su family to lobby again and again, and at first he was both soft and hard, and now he is directly insulting.

Where is there still a little bit of the decency of a wealthy housewife.

Shen Qingtang pulled the corners of his mouth sarcastically, his gaze slowly moved over Mo Lan's face, no matter how thick the fat powder was, it couldn't cover the haggard face and the green shadow under his eyes, and the lips with lipstick were chapped and peeling.

It seems that Mo Lan is having a very bad time these days, so it can be seen that Shen Yan must be anxious, this is really retribution!

Seeing that the ancestors and grandchildren were too difficult to provoke, Mo Lan held back his anger and said, "What do you want me to do before I agree to help?" ”

Shen Qingtang bent his eyes, and his clear eyes soaked a little smile: "You kneel down here, and then crawl to my mother's grave in front of the whole town." apologize to her not only for Shen Yan, but also for what you did back then. ”

It is impossible for the arrogant Moran to do this, she is first the daughter of a rich family, and then a powerful and wealthy lady, and she has always been the only one who praises her, and there is no time when she wags her tail and begs for mercy.

Moran's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he directly picked up his bag and prepared to leave, revealing a vicious smile on the other side of the corridor: "You, like your mother, are all sluts who can't get on the table, and you will never end well!" ”

Grandma Su is the head of the Su embroidery inheritance, accompanied by superb skills is the innate loftiness and arrogance, the most painful thing in this life is that her daughter was deceived by a man.

I thought this matter was long gone, but who knew that it would come again today.

She slammed her crutches on the ground and said angrily, "I told your mother at the beginning, that man shouldn't be from our family." He is used to ups and downs in the glitz and glitz outside, how can he settle down and start a family? ”

Shen Qingtang was silent for a long time, and his gentle eyebrows leached out of gloom little by little, cold and deserted, like red plums blooming in a snowdrift.

"Don't be angry, it's the Shen family who should be in a hurry now."

Grandma Su came to her senses, squinted at Shen Qingtang, and asked funny, "You were deliberately angry with her just now?" ”

"That's right," Grandma Su didn't wait for Shen Qingtang to answer, so she muttered to herself, "You are usually the most obedient and obedient, if you weren't forced to be in a hurry, where would you be so violent." ”

Shen Qingtang took out a tea pot from the wooden frame with entwined flower branches, and quietly brewed tea beside the stone table, and the curling white smoke blurred her face.

She replied calmly, "You're right. ”

But the more important reason is that she really doesn't want to get married.

Su Xin's experience and Su's grandmother's expectations prompted her to make such a decision.

Su Xin is indeed simple, but he is not really stupid.

Shen Yan can coax her to be emotional, not only by sweet words, but also by hard work: as long as Su Xin mentions one or two sentences, Shen Yan can drive thousands of miles overnight to buy exquisite Su embroidery patterns for her; Su Xin wanted to eat fresh bamboo shoots, so Shen Yan picked up a hoe and went to dig deep in the mountains.

Such a meticulous care full of life is not love, so does love really exist?

At least Suzhou embroidery exists, and how much it pays, it will give back.

Shen Qingtang picked up the embroidered satin almost reverently, her eyes were so gentle that she could soak into water, this was everything she longed to pursue.

Time passed little by little between the needle and thread, the sunset stretched the shadow reflected in the small courtyard, and the orange afterglow sprinkled warmly.

Shen Qingtang boiled the sugar porridge, picked up a few fish-flavored spring rolls and put them on a plate, and lightly sent them to Grandma Su's house before returning to the room happily.

In a room of less than 20 square meters, an old wooden desk is placed next to a large bed with a light green bamboo mat.

Shen Qingtang walked over, unplugged the charging cable of his mobile phone, pressed the power button, and a smile appeared on his calm face, and then the message prompt of "Ding Dong Ding Dong" followed.

All the news came from one person - Shen Qingtang's college classmate, Xie Xingye, known as the racing champion.

Among all the male classmates who took the initiative to approach Shen Qingtang, only Xie Xingye did not have ulterior motives.

He only wants Shen Qingtang's portrait embroidery, and it is best to embroider his heroic posture leaning next to the racing car and holding the trophy.

He is also the only boy who has not been cruelly rejected by Shen Qingtang, and the friendship between the two lasted for nearly five years.

The 1000+ WeChat messages are all emojis, fifty-three missed calls, and seventy-two text messages are all questions with teeth and claws.

Shen Qingtang frowned, took a deep breath, and dialed back: "Hey......"

The phone was connected, and before she could speak, she was covered by Xie Xingye's aggrieved howl: "Tang Tang'er, you have changed your mind!" Two days ago, you were enthusiastic about people, and today you will ignore them! You have to give someone an explanation! ”

The young man was unrestrained, and there was a smile in his complaining tone that could not be hidden, like a sunflower proudly raised under the scorching sun, never knowing how to be low-key.

Shen Qingtang patiently explained: "If you want double-sided embroidery, I have to think seriously to be worthy of you." ”

to be worthy of your money.

The second half of the sentence was swallowed back by her, but the maintenance of this friendship is indeed related to money.

Xie Xingye is willing to pay 2 million to buy a portrait embroidery.

Shen Qingtang doesn't love money so much, but if he wants to calm down and study Su embroidery, he must ask for money.

"Besides," she said mercilessly, "I haven't replied to your messages before. You don't get down to business, it's just small talk every time. ”

Xie Xingye shouted wronged: "What's the matter, master, I've counted it well!" You replied to me eleven messages the day before yesterday, eight yesterday, and nothing today...... Wrong! You called me personally! ”

Shen Qingtang turned on the speakerphone, drew embroidery patterns on the notebook with his free hands, and listened to Xie Xingye's nagging casually.

I didn't hear her reply for a long time, and her voice carried a trace of apprehension and temptation: "Tang Tang'er, nothing happened to you, right?" ”

Shen Qingtang paused with his right hand, then clenched the pen again, and asked rhetorically, "What can I do?" ”

"That's good, that's good," Xie Xingye's tone became cheerful, "I'll just say, you're so stubborn..... No, such an assertive person, what a good girl! ”

He muttered incoherently, and probably couldn't even remember what he said.

Shen Qingtang closed the notebook, glanced at the time, and said lightly: "If you have nothing to do, I'll hang up first." ”

"Hang up, hang up, it's time for you to rest. I'd like to ask you, though......"

Xie Xingye was a little depressed, and even Shen Qingtang could imagine how depressed the young man on the other end of the phone should be.

He said in a low voice: "You will speak coldly to any man, as if the other party owes you hundreds of millions of dollars, right?" ”

This brainless question made Shen Qingtang feel funny, and he laughed out loud directly, and said softly: "Don't worry, the first portrait embroidery I embroidered must be yours, and no one can snatch it." ”

Xie Xingye let out a long sigh: "Alas, you don't understand at all. ”

Without waiting for Shen Qingtang to speak, he hurriedly added: "I don't understand my love for Su embroidery." ”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingtang got up and closed the window, and after thinking about it, he picked up his mobile phone to browse the news.

Even a young master like Xie Xingye, who doesn't care about the world, has begun to care about the affairs of her family, is there new news on the Internet?

She quickly swiped the screen, and in addition to the old news from the previous days, the wind direction of today's gossip news has changed.

From spitting on Shen Mingyue and running away from marriage, to the legendary life of picking up the skin and killing the god's fiancé.

He took over the Jiang Group at the age of 20, and after drastic reforms, he reversed the group's loss-making situation, making the Jiang family the first of the wealthy families in Jiangning City, and a business genius who can create miracles.

However, he is also known for his cold-heartedness.

His biological father was sent to a nursing home by his seizure of power, several uncles and elders were kicked out of the group and unable to make a living, and two uncles went to prison.

Shen Qingtang put the mobile phone on the table, lay down on the bed by himself, and pulled the cool quilt to the top of his head.

It turned out that Jiang Qingyan was such a terrible person, he refused to show even the slightest affection for his relatives, no wonder Shen Mingyue would run away from marriage.

If you really marry him, you won't have to be eaten alive!
