Chapter 13
Xu Yu saw the Luo family's mansion, but did not approach, but rang the bell in advance——
The two people in the carriage got down one after the other, and bowed to Xu Yu one after another——
"Thank you, little brother, and thank you to your grandfather."
"No, no, as long as the two girls get home safely, I won't stay any longer and go first."
Watching them enter the gate of the mansion, Xu Yu just took the carriage and turned back the same way. When he was about to hand over the carriage at the carriage shop, he saw the grass-green silk handkerchief wrapped into a ball on the carriage seat——
Open it and see that it is full of broken silver and copper plates, as well as two jade bracelets and a hairpin——
Anyone with a long brain will know that it is not left behind, but specially put down.
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, picked it up and stuffed it into his cuff.
----
On the other side, as soon as the two girls entered the mansion, they bumped into Qi Pingnan——
"aunt--"
"Youqing, where have you been? You haven't seen anyone all morning?"
"Where else can I go? I must have gone out for a stroll! Dressed in fancy clothes! What does it look like!"
The person who spoke was Luo Eryi, Qi Pingnan's youngest daughter and Jiang Youqing's cousin, who was one year younger than her and just thirteen this year.
Compared with Jiang Youqing, she is a little smaller in stature and looks a little worse, but her figure is much fatter. She didn't follow her mother Qi Pingnan's white skin, but her father Luo Zhengbei's dark skin. The one I hate to see is Jiang Youqing, and the greatest pleasure every day is to open my mouth to sneer at Jiang Youqing, as long as she catches the opportunity, whether it is on the street or at home, whether there are many people or few people, she will definitely hurt her with sharp teeth. Not for anything else but because Jiang Youqing looks better than her, her complexion is fairer than her, and her figure is lighter than her.
Sometimes when Qi Pingnan meets her, she will grab Luo Eryi and frown at her, Luo Eryi will restrain herself, but sometimes she will not meet her, then Luo Eryi will intensify, even the one who was blocked by her mother before issued together.
Whenever this happened, Jiang Youqing would quietly listen to her cousin's ridicule, but the expression on her face was not disturbing at all, and her neither humble nor overbearing appearance often made Luo Eryi even more mad.
"Youqing, look at you. You know how to wander outside. Just now, Lao Ge from the tailor shop just left. The whole family has taken measurements, and you are the only one left. I'm afraid that people have already gone far away. It's Chinese New Year, and the business in the big guy's shop is busy, I made the order for Lao Ge more than half a month in advance, otherwise he would never come—"
Qi Pingnan clapped her hands, and frowned again, "How can you tell me to call him now?! What should I do?"
Jiang Youqing lowered his head, changed his eloquent appearance on the street before, and shook his head obediently——
"You don't need to call Aunt anymore. You still have the clothes you had before, and many of them are new clothes that you haven't worn. The styles and styles are all I like. It would be a waste to make them again."
"How can that be—"
Before Qi Pingnan could finish speaking, Luo Eryi rushed to grab the conversation——
"What's wrong with this!"
In the end, Qi Pingnan stared back at her sharply, and then closed her mouth, but her face was still unwilling, and she rolled her eyes at Jiang Youqing again.
Qi Pingnan went on to say——
"It's New Year's Eve, which family doesn't make new clothes? Our Luo family is not so poor that we have to deduct even a piece of clothes from you. I just said that, but I was just a little anxious. You know, although Old Ge The shop does business, but his temper is really weird. If you don't make a decision in advance, you will charge him a higher price, but he will not come, but his craftsmanship is not outstanding in the capital, but he has a bit of face Who doesn’t ask him to do it—”
Qi Pingnan pursed her lips and said again——
"I'm afraid it's too late now. He must have gone to another place to measure. How about it? Get up early tomorrow, and I'll take you directly to his shop for measurement."
"Auntie is worried."
"It's okay, you can go back to the house quickly, don't go out in the afternoon, the cold wind has been constant for the past few days, it would be bad if you caught a cold years ago."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sui Mo again, "From now on, don't lead Miss Biao to run around, let me meet you! Be careful with your skin!"
"Yes, the servant girl knows."
When Jiang Youqing and Sui Mo just turned around, they heard Luo Eryi pulling Qi Pingnan and saying——
"Mom! What are you doing to her!"
Qi Pingnan didn't speak, just walked forward, but Luo Eryi was endless, tugging at her mother's sleeve, persistently insisting.
Going straight into the yard, Qi Pingnan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a seizure——
"Do you have any brains! You know how to care about such small things! How much silver can a piece of clothing be worth when you keep screaming all the way?! You have such energy! Why don't you grow up with me on big things?" long face!"
Qi Pingnan usually hurts Luo Eryi as much as she can, and it is rare for her to speak aloud when she was young in Dalian, let alone get angry like she is now——
Luo Eryi's tears fell immediately——
"Mom, are you training me? Are you training me for my cousin?"
Seeing her daughter's tears fall, Qi Pingnan's heart softened immediately, and she quickly changed her words and softened her voice again——
"Mother is not scolding you, mother is anxious—"
"Mom just trained me! Because my cousin trained me!"
Luo Eryi broke away from Qi Pingnan's hand, pouted her small mouth, and turned her head to run——
"Hey——" Qi Pingnan hurriedly chased after her, "Mother is wrong, mother is wrong——"
"It's almost there."
Luo Eryi stopped running and didn't cry anymore.
But Qi Pingnan was still very distressed, and kept coaxing——
"What are you afraid of making her a dress, mother will leave you the most beautiful one then."
"Then leave the ugliest ones to her!"
"Yes, please!" Qi Pingnan pampered her little daughter's forehead and said with a smile, "You are narrow-minded."
----
As soon as the door of the house was closed, Sui Lu couldn't help but spat hard!
"Bah! What! She gave it to us, and we don't care for it! Who has no new clothes to wear! It's her turn to gossip! Anyway, I have to call you cousin!"
"I'm not angry, why are you angry." Jiang Youqing raised his hand and stroked Sui Mo's back, "Come on, come on, let's get rid of the fire—"
"Miss, you shouldn't have given her so much good face, making her think that you are a bully who picks those nasty words to irritate people all day long!
You are here at the Luo family, and you don't eat for nothing. When Madam brought us here, she sold the ancestral house and shop in Jinling. What did you say then? ——
How will I treat you well, so happy to get the money!What about now? !It's all bullshit!The dowry that I agreed to keep for you in Qianzhuangzi, I am afraid that it has been completely spent by Master Luo long ago! "
"If the master and madam knew about it, you would have to suffer like this here—"
At the end of the year, he covered his mouth, his shoulders kept shaking, but his eyes were already red, and tears fell down his eyelashes.
Before the age of six was probably the best time Jiang Youqing had ever lived. Her parents loved her, she was well-clothed and well-fed, she was the jewel in her palm, and she was served by domestic servants from inside to outside. If it hadn’t been for that incident that happened later, she should still be from a noble family in Jinling City. Miss, but God wants to play this teasing joke on her——
Jiang Kangde originally acted according to the magistrate's decency, and he was supposed to be on the rise, but who could have predicted that the world would be unpredictable, and an unwarranted charge of dereliction of duty was forcibly placed in his head. He became a prisoner. Although his wife and children were not affected, he was sentenced to death.
Seeing that there was no way to recover, Jiang Kangde and his first wife Qi Qiongmo met for the last time in prison——
Afterwards, Qi Qiongluo sold the shop and ancestral house in Jinling, led Jiang Youqing and the end of the year, and went to the Luo family in the capital, and asked the mistress of the Luo family, her sister Qi Pingnan, to be alone.
Putting down the bank note and explaining the good things, he rushed back to Jinling on the second day. On the third day, the bad news came——
Jiang Kangde asked to beheaded, and Qi Qiongmo died in love.
Poor little Jiang Youqing, who can only mourn in the capital thousands of miles away.
At first, Luo Zhengbei was unwilling to keep her in the mansion. Firstly, Qi Pingnan was thrown by a married girl, so it didn't make sense to take care of her natal sister's affairs. Second, he was worried that Jiang Kangde would implicate him. disagree.
Qi Pingnan had no choice but to take out the banknote that Qi Qiongmo brought to talk to Tian Qi——
Sure enough, money is still easy to use, and Luo Zhengbei happens to be an extremely greedy person, and he was relieved immediately by the white money, but there is a requirement that the money must go into his pocket and into his pocket. account.
So far Jiang Youqing was left behind.
But a year later, Jiang Kangde's case was discovered by the newly appointed prefect. After only three months of investigation, he was vindicated. When the court learned that he had an orphaned daughter, he specially approved a pension , although not many, but it is evidence that can prove innocence.
Qi Pingnan hugged Jiang Youqing and cried a lot——
Since then, Jiang Youqing no longer burns incense and worships Buddha, and doesn't even go to temples——
Because she knows that there are no gods in this world, otherwise how could she wrong a good person.
Jiang Youqing lowered her eyes, her tone was flat——
"Father and mother are probably reincarnated a long time ago."
Speaking of these, she didn't feel too sad, and even some of her memories were much blurred. After all, it was already eight years ago, and the self eight years ago was only six years old.
"Miss, don't you complain at all?"
"What am I complaining about? I don't get the wind, the sun, the rain, or the rain here. I don't know how many times better than those who are really homeless outside. Instead of complaining or hating--it's better to think on the bright side .”
"Then you let Miss Biao bully you like this?"
"Cousin, she is still young, her parents are still alive, and she is the youngest in the family. It is understandable for her to be arrogant and self-willed on weekdays - but you, who came here with me when I was young, have always suffered from people's eyes. .”
"Miss, I'm just a servant. It's too late for me to be happy to meet such a good master like you. I don't want to suffer! I don't agree with you!"
"We both sleep under the same quilt every day, you are not a servant! You are—" Jiang Youqing rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It's my good sister!"
At the end of the year, looking at such a sensible and intelligent young lady in his family, he felt even more uncomfortable, sighed, and said——
"Then what about your dowry? Once this year is over, you will be ready next year. Everyone in Mr. Luo's money-greedy mansion knows that he will give you what he didn't want at the beginning."
"If he doesn't give it, isn't there still my aunt here?" Jiang Youqing smiled, "My aunt will never lie to me, besides, my mother not only brought money here, but also bought a farm when she went to the countryside in the capital. Even if there is no silver, the farm will always be there."
At that time, Jiang Kangde was on the rise, thinking that he would be promoted to the capital in a short time, so he took advantage of the cheap land price and asked someone to set up a lot of farms in the countryside of the capital in advance, thinking that even if the whole family moved by then, they would still have property People, but -- good luck tricks people, this farm died without ever setting foot on it once.
"Grange?" Sui Mo didn't speak, just lowered his head, then sighed, and said, "I remember when you were young, Madam treated you very well, but these years have been living day by day. But the attitude seems to be worse than before, and I don’t know why, but they have become estranged.”
Jiang Youqing sat on the round stool, resting her cheeks on her hand, looking at herself in the mirror on the window sill——
"Presumably, as parents, we all hope that our children will be better than others."
The author says:
Youqing also has a hard life, and it is the most uncomfortable to live under the fence
