"Old Master, please order the dishes you like." Wan Qing's voice was very soft. The three of them who came were all wearing home clothes, and no one dared to wear mourning clothes to stimulate them.
Especially the old man. Although he hit the old lady before, the relationship he had for so many years was not fake. If he knew that because of his beating, the old lady was blocked in one breath, I don’t know what would have happened.
.
The old man didn't speak, he just looked at Xiao Tongwen, or maybe he didn't look at Xiao Tongwen at all, but just looked at something through him.
Wan Qing called him a few more times, but he still ignored her.
The cell leader came and called, saying that the time was up and asked people to get out quickly. The three of them reluctantly left.
Early the next morning, Hongyun set out to find Liang Yue'er and Liang Nuyi. But for some reason, watching Hongyun's carriage go further and further away, Wan Qing felt certain that Hongyun's trip would never be fruitful.
.
"Second Miss, there is Granny Lan asking to see you." As soon as Hongyun left, Xiaoxia came to report that someone had arrived at the door of her yard.
"Please." Granny Lan came in. The two of them were already familiar with each other, so naturally they were not so polite. However, Granny Lan still meant to call her "Miss" at first. In the end, Wan Qing insisted, and she continued to call her "Miss" as before.
She is a girl.
Granny Lan told Wan Qing that Mrs. Su had left Granny Qing's Mansion. The Mansion of Su was now left to Granny Lan, and it was all her business to deal with it. One or two of the women who were there had left, leaving only
Yes, they all stayed.
"Where did the master go? What did he do?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense about your master. Just listen to her." Granny Lan said nothing.
From then on, Granny Lan stayed in the small courtyard and became much closer to Wan Qing than Xiao Xia and the others. Because Granny Lan lived with Wan Qing as soon as she came, the wing next to her room became Lan's.
When it came to the mother-in-law's room, Xiaoxia and the others were completely driven out of the courtyard. They were never allowed to enter without being called.
Wan Qing did this just for the convenience of practicing. Especially, sometimes, she had to fight with Granny Lan, and she didn't want anyone to see it.
At noon, Hongyun came back. As Wan Qing had guessed, she didn't even see Liang Nuyi's face.
"What should I do?" Hongyun was almost in tears. Xiao Tongwen told her that the only savior was Liang Nuyi, but she couldn't even see her face. "I'm really useless. I can't even see her face."
Can't see me, I..."
"Mom, I can go see her."
It was rare that Qin'er actually took the initiative to speak, but while speaking, she still cautiously glanced at Hongyun, and then immediately lowered her head, as if she felt guilty for having done something bad.
Hongyun frowned and was about to speak when Wan Qing suddenly said, "That's right, mother, why don't you let sister Qin'er give it a try? I remember that Liang Nuyi and sister Qin'er seem to be relatives."
The relationship between the two must be deep, and it doesn't matter what it is now. Now, the only one who has a relationship with Liang Nuyi is Qin'er.
"Okay, then, in the afternoon, you and your mother will go together." She was still worried about letting Qin'er go alone. After all, Qin'er was just a child, and the lives of several people were at stake.
"yes."
Qin'er responded in a low voice, her voice was like an ant's. Her feet no longer hurt. I don't know if they were numb or the pain had passed. Wan Qing often swept her feet, thinking about what would happen if the Xiao family fell overnight.
, she even has no money for food and clothing, and her feet are bound, so what? Who with money and power would come to propose marriage? She probably can’t even go to a girls’ school!
In the afternoon, before Hongyun had time to take a breath, she went to Liang Nuyi's house with Qin'er, while Wan Qing was sitting in her yard in a daze.
There seemed to be a mess in her mind, and she had been sorting it out. It wasn't until Qin'er suddenly spoke today that she seemed to have a vague idea.
"Girl, how old are you? When you love to laugh, why do you sit here in a daze all day?" Granny Lan looked at her, very curious.
Wan Qing pondered for a while and then said softly: "Mother-in-law, tell me, if the Xiao family doesn't have a penny, what will happen to this big family?"
"Girl, it's not your turn to worry about this kind of thing!"
Wan Qing shook her head slightly. Now that she was also a member of the Xiao family, how could she not be worried.
"My father said that the Xiao family will probably lose all their wealth this time. Even if father and the old man come out, they will be exhausted physically and mentally for a while. How can I have the energy to do this... Mother-in-law, tell me, what can I do?"
She has wanted to make money for a long time. In the past, it was to leave a way out for herself so that she would not be penniless and without food after leaving the Xiao family. Now, it is an urgent issue of survival.
"It depends on what you want to do?" Granny Lan smiled, "The Su family's rent alone is definitely not enough. Madam has a lot of chores to take care of, so we can only rely on servants like us to do some.
What can we do to help make ends meet? The girls in the Su family will do some needlework and sell it... Although it's not much, it's enough for them to feed themselves. It's just that it's more difficult and more tiring."
Wan Qing nodded, then shook her head. Needlework? Some people in the Xiao family can do it, but it's not suitable for her.
"Old lady, I also have some work to do, but not much."
Wan Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, "What are you doing, grandma?" She believed that Granny Lan would never be able to do needlework. She had martial arts skills, and the master said she was even better than the master...
"It just so happens that I have a job tonight. I'll call you when the time comes." Granny Lan smiled mysteriously, then turned and left, leaving Wan Qing to continue in a daze.
In the evening, Hongyun and Qin'er came back, and their faces were indeed extremely ugly. When it came to Qin'er, there was a suspicious blush on her face. I didn't know whether it was from the cold or something else.
After dinner, Hongyun left Luo Hua, Luo Ying, Wan Qing and Qin'er all behind.
