Early the next morning, Mrs. Xie walked out wearing a new cloak. When she saw Mrs. Wang's brand new mink cloak standing in front of the carriage, her face changed.
"Sister-in-law, this cloak..."
As soon as Wang saw her face, he knew what she was thinking, and smiled lightly: "Xi'er sent the girl here last night. Maybe she saw that I was wearing thin clothes, and she also has filial piety."
Was it sent by Qin Liuxi again?
Mrs. Xie glanced at the hosta on her head and said sourly: "Sister-in-law, you are lucky. This girl Liuxi was sent to the old house at a young age. Logically speaking, she doesn't have a deep relationship with you, but she is.
She is filial to you and respects you in every way. Even her biological mother is not so lucky."
Not only is it sour, but it’s also ironic!
Mrs. Wang said: "In terms of blessing, I can't compare with you. You have several children watching over you."
Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, but soon became happy again, but she didn't dare to show it in words, and just said: "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad, it will always get better."
Yes, no matter how much filial piety you have, your biological son is not around to support you.
"Yeah. Let's go. It'll be too late if you don't get started." Wang stepped onto the carriage.
Ms. Xie quickly followed her.
In the mansion, Qin Liuxi had just finished practicing when he heard that Song Yuyan had arrived.
"Cousin Liuxi, I don't have much to offer. I just made this pair of shoes for you. I don't know if they are the right size."
Qin Liuxi looked down at the pair of embroidered shoes she held in her hands. The blue satin embroidered shoes were embroidered with two lifelike pomegranate flowers, which were as delicate as the flowers on the pomegranate tree in the yard.
She felt a little strange, so she looked back at Song Yuqing and said, "Why are you doing this for me? We are not familiar with each other."
Seeing that she didn't answer and said she wasn't familiar with her, Song Yuyan felt a little at a loss for a moment, her face felt a little hot, she pinched her embroidered shoes and said: "I, we live in the old house, we have nothing to repay, we can only make some female celebrities, does my cousin dislike it?"
?”
"You don't have to do these things for me." Qin Liuxi said: "Since grandma can bring you back, you can live in peace, so you don't have to do this to please me."
Song Yuyan's face turned red: "I'm not..."
"If you really want to express your feelings, you can make them for grandma or mother. You don't need mine. It's not that I dislike it, but my clothes have been made and sent to you, so you don't have to worry about it."
Such indifference made Song Yuyan almost cry.
"I'll accept these shoes, thank you." Qin Liuxi took the shoes and said, "You don't have to do it anymore, it's too troublesome. My eldest aunt went out to work because she was thinking that you were in a difficult situation and wanted to save some private money. You might as well also
Think about it for a moment. I think your embroidery skills on these shoes are pretty good, but have you been taught by a famous teacher?"
Song Yuyan nodded: "I learned it from an aunt in my house before."
Qin Liuxi was stunned. How could she, a legitimate daughter, associate with her aunt?
Song Yuyan looked embarrassed, lowered her head and said: "That was my mother's maid. The embroidery is very good. I can also embroider on both sides."
"Double-sided embroidery is extremely rare. If you know how to do it, you might as well embroider some beautiful patterns to make fans and screens. Many embroidery workshops will accept them. Once you have embroidered it, give it to your mother. She will ask Manager Li to take it out for consignment.
The money will be given to you, so you don’t have to worry about being cheated on.” It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Embroidery is a waste of time, but if you can exchange it for money, why can’t you do it?
Song Yuyan was a little moved, but she didn't have those beautiful satins.
"Qihuang, go get her half of the embroidered satin." Qin Liuxi ordered Qihuang, and then raised the embroidered shoes in his hand to Song Yuyan: "Consider these shoes as payment."
…
When Song Yuyan walked out of Qin Liuxi's yard holding half a piece of fine autumn-colored embroidered satin, she was still a little confused. Her gift of a pair of shoes was indeed meant to please Qin Liuxi, because she had also heard about this.
The house is under Qin Liuxi's name.
When living under someone else's roof, you have to be inferior to others and watch their actions. In the short time she came to Licheng, she saw that her second aunt, who had a fierce and domineering temperament, was defeated by Qin Liuxi, and that Qin Mingqi couldn't gain the upper hand even though he contradicted her. She knew this.
Qin Liuxi is a person who is not easy to mess with.
Therefore, she would rather keep her eyebrows down and be submissive, just to please Qin Liuxi, rather than get kicked out if she gets annoyed one day.
But she didn't expect that the other party would give her a piece of embroidered satin in return.
Song Yuyan stroked the embroidered satin, which was of high quality and smooth texture, and felt a little happy in her heart.
Although she was also a legitimate child, her father was the eldest son of a concubine. She was only valued by her grandfather because of her clever mind. However, what her grandparents valued more was her second uncle who was a legitimate daughter, and the people in the same room as the second uncle.
In addition, her mother had only given birth to her and her sister in more than ten years. Although they were the first wife, Aunt Cheng was not as favored as the one who gave birth to two sons, so their daily expenses were not the best.
As for such fine embroidery, I must have only seen it when I was eight years old. That year my grandfather happened to be promoted to the third rank, and their expenses were also much better.
Song Yuyan's nose was sore and she sniffed.
"cousin?"
Song Yuyan stiffened slightly and turned around with a smile on her face: "Cousin Mingyue."
She and Qin Mingyue were of the same year. She was born in February, but Qin Mingyue was born in June. But in terms of status, they were worlds apart.
Qin Mingyue's eyes fell on the embroidered satin she was holding, and her eyes lit up: "Where did this embroidered satin come from? It's so beautiful."
Song Yuyan tightened her hands and said, "Cousin Liuxi is getting hairpin this year. I made her a pair of embroidered shoes, but she gave me this half piece of embroidered satin to embroider the fan."
Qin Mingyue was stunned for a moment and said quietly: "Eldest sister is so kind to you. Sisters like us don't give such beautiful embroidery. I'm afraid eldest sister doesn't like us."
Song Yuyan forced herself to laugh out loud: "My cousin thinks too much."
"Cousin, I have a skirt, but I just need this color top to match it. Can you even out the embroidered satin for me? I will have other embroidered satin to patch it up for you in the future?" Qin Mingyue stepped forward and held her hand.
, said coquettishly: "Cousin, can you bear it?"
Song Yuyan's lips moved, her fingers curled, and she said for a long time: "Of course not."
"Then let's go."
Qihuang, who was behind the courtyard gate, watched the two of them leaving together. He turned back and reported back to Qin Liuxi. Seeing that she had no reaction, he couldn't help but ask: "Miss, do you have any objection?"
Qin Liuxi was drawing the talisman and said without raising his head, "What do I have to say? If you give something to her, it belongs to her. Whether she can protect it or not, and who she wants to give it to, that's her business and has nothing to do with me.
This man, if he wants to survive, he has to rely on himself and others to protect him for the rest of his life. Is this possible?"
Well, it’s the style of a young lady!
Qi Huang said: "Miss, what about these shoes?"
Qin Liuxi glanced at the embroidered shoes lying aside and said, "Put them away. It's cold and there's no need for them."
After Qihuang heard this, he put away his shoes.
It’s not that she doesn’t need it, she needs it. An embroiderer who is familiar with her size and preferences has prepared it and sent it to her.
