Ling'er saw that Rong Zhan's face was not quite right, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Don't be surprised, my lord often teaches Miss to play chess, so Miss always likes to interject when she hears people talk about chess games, if you say something wrong, don't take it to heart." ”

Rong Zhan's gaze was almost frozen, and he said lightly: "How come, what the third lady said is right." After staring at Yuan Xi for a while, Rong Zhan didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of Xiyin Hall. Rong Run finally noticed the abnormal atmosphere in the store, and wandered between Rong Zhan and Yuan Xi for a while, but still chose to find Rong Zhan, who was leaving quickly.

Ling'er looked at the distant backs of the two princes, and asked cautiously, "Miss, we won't offend them, right?"

Yuan Xi ignored Ling'er's question, and ordered himself, "In a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, you go to the counter to pay two hundred taels of silver, fifty taels to the guys, and the other fifty taels to the king of Baojun, which is my daily capital for Li Lin." The rest of the hundred taels, I have other uses. ”

Ling Er flattened her mouth and asked stubbornly: "Miss, are we going too far today?" Duan Wang Ye was kind enough to help, but you left others aside. If you want me to say, you should go to the Duanwang Mansion to accompany the prince, right? The two princes have worked very hard today, but you didn't even say thank you. People are princes, if you were someone else, you would have bowed three times and bowed a thousand thanks, but you are fine. ”

"Didn't I also do them a great favor?" Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "Didn't you hear that the sixth master hated Lord Lan to the core? They want to bring down Lan Chengjie, so I will give Li Lin to them." For people in officialdom, sending a key chess piece is more effective than anything else. If you want to say thank you, they should thank me. Everyone is just building bridges with each other and benefiting from each other. ”

These officialdom methods, Wonxi has long been surprised. In the materialistic officialdom, it is rare to see a clear stream like Xiao Rongzhan and Xiao Rongrun, they are the two most practical of the princes. In front of them, you can't come up with real dry goods, even if you say what you say, it's useless. On the contrary, as long as you have capital, even if you are arrogant and rude, they will treat you as a guest.

Thinking of all kinds of trivial things during the day, and seeing the sun outside the window that is about to tilt westward, Yuan Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt powerless. There was no palm light in the shop, and there was almost dead silence.

His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and even breathing became a burden, and Yuan Xi felt more tired than ever: "Ling'er, do as I say, ignore me, let me be quiet." ”

Won-hee leaned on the table and closed his eyes.

The years passed quietly, and it was another year of spring flowers, and the mountain flowers bloomed as red as blood, and the red color flowed, flowing into a dilapidated tiled house, and flowing on the dress of a down-and-out woman, and the woman was very sad!

The distance was so close, Won-hee could clearly hear the woman's painful murmur: "Revenge!" Won-hee gently held the woman's face, her face was covered with blood and had no eyes! The woman grabbed her hand and dyed Won-hee's hand bloody. The woman screamed, "Kill her, kill her!"

Yuan Xi woke up suddenly, his body was drenched in cold sweat, and the Xiyin Hall was dark.

Ling'er took the cash wrapped in red cloth and put it on the table: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Won-hee gasped for a while, and his mind became clearer and clearer. She's all about revenge in this life, and she has to get revenge! whether it's for hatred or for survival. She can't go back to that dilapidated tiled house, she can't have her husband taken away, she can't lose her children again, she has to protect everyone she loves!

In the previous life, Wei Yuanjia destroyed everything about her, and in this life, she must let Wei Yuanjia also taste the taste of life and death. That's even more enjoyable than killing her outright!

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare...... "Won-hee quickly calmed down: "Everything is done?"

"Li Lin's fifty taels have been sent to Liu Tianbao to the Baojun Palace, the big guys in the store each take eight taels, the rest are four taels per person, and Xiao Shunzi has a sick old lady at home, so he gave two taels more. ”

"Close the store, we should go back, there is still a Zhenshan Tai Sui to deal with at home. ”

The old lady's room had not yet been set up, but it was surprisingly lively. From afar, the old lady's voice of praise for Wei Yuanjia could be heard, and Yuanxi and Ling'er glanced at each other and entered the room steadily.

As soon as the old lady saw that it was Yuan Xi, she beckoned and smiled: "Three girls, come and take a look at the placket cloak embroidered by your eldest sister." ”

Yuan Jia stood aside triumphantly and said with a smile: "The third sister has good eyesight, you might as well tell your grandmother." ”

Yuan Xi stepped forward and saw that the old lady was holding an ink-colored flat gold floral placket cloak in her hand, and the pattern on her shoulders was embroidered with thread beads the size of millet. But Wei Yuanjia has always been unable to twist the needle, unable to pull the thread, when did she learn to embroider Suzhou embroidery? This is by no means her embroidery, this kind of workmanship, without ten or twenty years of foundation, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it.

Yuan Xi smiled deliberately: "Eldest sister, Su embroidery is already difficult to learn, and the flat gold embroidery method is even more difficult." You really embroidered it yourself?"

As expected, Yuan Jia nodded with a smile: "No, for this cloak, I embroidered for three whole months." Saying that, she grabbed the old lady and said cowardly: "Grandmother, you have to promise me that you must wait for your birthday day to wear it." ”

Yuan Yue was a little short of breath, she couldn't take out any too expensive gifts, and she couldn't speak, so she smiled and said: "Eldest sister, since this is for grandmother's birthday, why do you take it out now, and it's not too late to wait until your grandmother's birthday?"

Yuan Jia hugged the old lady's arm and said with a smile: "Grandmother, if you forgive your granddaughter, you have to sell it first, because your granddaughter still has a big gift, and she has to wait until her birthday to take it out." When the time comes, you will put on this dress embroidered by your granddaughter, and look at the surprise that your granddaughter has prepared for you. ”

"You damn girl. The old lady smiled from ear to ear.

Yuan Jia turned around and asked Yuan Xi just right: "Third sister, what birthday gift do you want to give to your grandmother?"

Without waiting for Yuan Xi to speak, You Shi smiled first: "You girl, you are too anxious, now the third lady runs the pawnshop in the house, and the gifts she gives must be more decent than ours, such a decent gift, of course, you have to appear last!"

The old lady smiled: "Actually, I don't care about birthday gifts or not, as long as our family is safe." By the way, Xi'er, how is the store doing?"

"Back to my grandmother's words, it's fine. The revenue increased a lot from the previous month, and although there were a few hiccups in between, it didn't cause any losses, but it earned the store some reputation. ”

Yuan Xiwen's gentle answer was like a steel needle inserted into You Shi's heart, You Shi pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled reluctantly: "Old lady, your granddaughter is really good at business." ”

For the extreme flattery of the You family, Yuan Xi only smiled faintly.

Sure enough, You Shi suddenly asked: "Third Miss, I was drinking tea in the Xiangming Pavilion in Dongshi today, and I heard that Lord Lan went to our Xiyin Hall to smash it in order to catch a fugitive. I'm scared to death, what the hell is going on?"

The old lady's face suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed Yuan Xi's hand: "When did this happen?

Yuan Jia supported the old lady with both hands and echoed: "Grandmother, don't worry, the third sister probably knocked out her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach because she was afraid that you would be worried." ”

"They caught the fugitives, how did they catch Xi Yintang, you say it quickly!" the old lady coughed in a hurry. Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped forward to beat the old lady's back and glanced at You Shi fiercely. If she hadn't prepared, she would have died in front of the old lady.

The old lady coughed for a while, and then gradually eased her breath, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Auntie, eldest sister, you are too much of a fuss, how can the rumors in the market be taken seriously?

When the old lady saw Yuan Xi's casual appearance, she asked suspiciously, "Is it really okay?"

"It's really okay, it's Lord Lan who caught the fugitive, I don't know who owes his mouth to Lord Lan and said that the fugitive is a buddy in our shop. As a result, Lord Lan came with troops. Let's take a look at that portrait, guess what?" Yuan Xi pretended to smile lightly: "That portrait really looks exactly like Li Lin, but Li Lin has long been dismissed, and we don't know where to find someone." Lan didn't believe it, so he had to search for it. I said, just search it, don't touch the bad things. In this way, let them look inside and out. ”

"Li ......" came to his mouth and swallowed back. You originally wanted to tell Li Lin that he was a fugitive, but after thinking about it, if he said it, Wei Yuanxi would definitely ask him how he knew. In that case, I can't explain it, and I can't guarantee that the old lady won't see the clues.

The failure again made You Shi feel a burst of hatred, but he could only smile on his face: "It's okay, it seems that hearsay is really tricky." ”

Yuan Yue hugged Yuan Xi and said with a smile: "Auntie, the third sister is shrewd, don't you worry about her?" I heard that Mrs. Lan can appreciate our third sister, and when she encounters any antiques she likes, she will come to find the third sister. She doesn't feel at ease when others look at her. ”

The old lady listened to Yuanyue's praise, and her heart became more and more happy. You Shi gritted his teeth secretly, he couldn't imagine that a girl from a low background like Yuan Yue would dare to sarcastically mock herself openly and secretly. When her mother was a maid, she also brought herself footwater? Now when she takes Wei Yuanxi's line, she is angry, she has lived enough!

The old lady looked at Yuan Xi and Yuan Yue with a smile, and put Yuan Jia aside for a while.

Yuan Jia lowered his head and looked at the cloak that he had spent more than a hundred taels to get, and due to Wei Yuanxi's arrival, it lost its luster in an instant.

Yuan Xi caught a glimpse of Yuan Jia's unhappiness, so he smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't just look at me. Look at the cloak embroidered by the eldest sister for you, this is the best Suzhou embroidery, you look at this stitch, I don't know how many times the eldest sister's hand has to be pricked by needles, and you don't feel sorry for the eldest sister. ”

Yuan Jia was stunned for a moment, and consciously tied the pair of smooth and traceless hands behind him, making a mistake in his busyness, he never expected to be caught by her!
