The county magistrate's daughter, who was originally in a lower-middle position among the socialites of Yongzhou City and was about to fade out, has now become someone they can't even look up to.
Of course, what they envied most was not Su Qian's position as princess, but Su Qian and her other sisters.
Two of them were the eldest princess of Chu and the eldest princess of Zhou. The two eldest princesses called each other Su Qian like sister Su, and they were very affectionate.
In the past, they all looked down on Su Qian, a woman who indulged in martial arts all day long and had no knowledge of poetry, chess, calligraphy or painting. Do they think that such a woman could find a husband? That was simply wishful thinking.
Later, when Su Qian married a policeman, they believed this even more, and promoted Su Qian as a negative example for a long time.
Later, she left Yong'an County and became a countess, then a marquise, and now the Princess of Han...
At this moment, these ladies only felt the pain in their faces.
Nowadays, those who should marry are already married, and after a married woman has a child, the child will be even more incomparable.
The only people their children can play with are the heirs of fifth-rank officials, but I heard that the little prince of the Han Dynasty’s palace’s usual playmates are all princesses...
Still two!
The gap is getting bigger and bigger now, and it's almost too big to bear to look directly at.
He left Yongzhou City, went to the capital where powerful people gathered, became the top powerful person, and then lived in Chang'an, which is known as the city that never sleeps.
And if they don't have some miracles in this life, they may not be able to leave Yongzhou City.
When Su Qian returned to Yongzhou City, she went back to take a look at Tang Wan, her only playmate.
But what Su Qian didn't expect was that Tang Wan's life was not very good now, and he no longer lived in his original place. After asking around, Su Qian found out where Tang Wan lived now.
The former big house is gone, replaced by a small courtyard just like an ordinary home.
In the past few years, Tang Wan's father was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of debt, so he abandoned his mother and daughter and ran away. Now only mother and daughter are left in the family to spin yarn and weave to pay off the debt.
You must know that although Tang Wan's family was not very big at the beginning, it was still a scholarly family. Even if it did not develop anything, it could support one or two generations.
But it should never have happened. Logan's father fell into the bottomless pit of gambling. Nine times out of ten he gambled and cheated. As long as you win once, you will feel the hope of winning big money.
In this way, the Tang family fell into such a bottomless pit step by step.
The original scholarly family not only lost all their family property but even their ancestral home, leaving only Tang Wan and her mother dependent on each other, even spinning yarn from dawn to dusk. Life soon became miserable, and now her mother is also overwhelmed.
After her death, she was the only one left in the family.
She is one year older than Su Qian. Su Qian would call her Sister Tang at that time, but now Su Qian's children can even take care of each other, and she is still unmarried.
Su Qian walked to Tang Wan's door and knocked on the door.
Su Qian even noticed that someone inside looked outside through the crack in the door, and then slowly opened the door.
Su Qian looked at the person in front of her and said, "Sister Tang."
Although she is a commoner, she can't hide her pretty face. Tang Wan couldn't believe it when she looked at the person in front of her: "Are you...Sister Su Qian?"
Su Qian nodded and said, "I came back with my husband to worship our ancestors, but I didn't expect that something like this happened in Sister Tang's family."
Tang Wan sniffed slightly, feeling a little at a loss at first, and then said: "Come in and talk."
Su Qian nodded and followed Tang Wan into the home.
Logan then closed the courtyard door.
Tang Wan looked at Su Qian, who was wearing silk clothes, and smiled bitterly: "I heard that Sister Su is now a princess. I don't know how many people in Yongzhou City are envious of her, but I don't want Sister Su to still remember me."
Su Qian said: "If it hadn't been for Sister Tang who persuaded me to go out more, have more contact with outsiders and not close my heart, I might not have been able to meet the husband I have now. Why hasn't Sister Tang gotten married in all these years?"
Tang Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Who would be so stupid as to marry a woman who is burdened with debts? I used to worry about Sister Su, a woman who loves martial arts and can't get married, but I didn't expect that Sister Su would be like this.
He has a good vision."
Although the two haven't seen each other for a long time, they are not unfamiliar, but their identities are completely different.
While the two were talking, there was a violent knock on the door, accompanied by a thick voice: "Open the door! Open the door! I know you are hiding inside!"
Su Qian frowned: "What's outside is..."
Logan shook his head and said, "Debt collector."
Su Qian said: "Do they come here often?"
Tang Wan nodded and said, "However, since the last rectification of officialdom, the officials in Yongzhou, a land where a prince was born, have worked hard several times. The people outside did not dare to go too far. They knocked on the door for a while and left.
, if you really can’t hide, you can only give them the money you have on you, and they will leave.”
At this moment, someone outside shouted sternly: "If you don't open the door, we will break down the door!"
After that, the sound outside suddenly increased, and finally the rotten door was finally knocked open.
Several big men swarmed in instantly.
The tall and sturdy man at the head said with a ferocious smile: "I knew you were inside. Oops, there's actually a beauty inside?"
Tang Wan also didn't expect that the big man would break in, so he quickly said: "Aren't you afraid that the officials will catch you when you break into a private house like this?!"
"Official servants?" The tall man laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han has returned to Yong'an County today. All the official servants have gone to protect the safety of His Highness the King of Han. How can they care about such a remote place?"
Then the burly man looked at Su Qian and said, "Are you a relative of Tang Wan? She still owes us several hundred taels of silver. If she doesn't pay back today, we will sell her to a brothel! Tsk tsk Scholarly fragrance
For a lady from a good family, the price is not low!"
Su Qian frowned and said, "How outrageous! You actually dare to force a good girl into prostitution!"
The sturdy man was not afraid of her: "What happened to forcing a good girl into prostitution? Our gambling house is backed by Lord Sima of Yongzhou! Let alone a declining scholarly family, a real lady like you can't afford the crime, right? Look,
You look pretty, why don't you go to a restaurant and have a drink with me, and I'll waive some of Tang Wan's interest?"
At this moment, Su Qian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said coldly: "Sima Zhou? It's Sima Zhou again! It seems that another one is not enough, right?!"
He kicked the low stool at his feet, and the stool immediately flew out and hit the sturdy man's chest hard. The sturdy man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
