Chapter 768 The truth in the fog
When I heard this sentence, I didn't feel anything. I just kept walking forward, but after a few steps, Wei Ningyuan still stopped in the distance. I didn't know what I was feeling. I stopped and turned around, staring with a half-smile.
Follow him.
"What did you say?"
"..."
"Am I the scabbard?"
"Madam, please forgive me for the offensive words——"
"You don't need to say any more."
I was unhappy, and I would no longer hide it as hard as before. Although I was still smiling, my face had darkened. Yu'er, who was walking in front, also felt something at this time and took two steps towards us.
Feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he whispered: "Qingying, what's going on?"
When I turned my head away, a smile still appeared on my face, and I walked up to her: "It's okay. Yu'er, I'll send it here, otherwise Li'er won't be able to see me when she wakes up later, and she'll make a fuss
, no one in this village can even think about sleeping."
Yu'er suddenly laughed: "Li'er is so cute, how could she be like this? But you should go back early, it's cold outside."
I smiled, held her hand, and said softly: "We say goodbye today, and I don't know when we sisters will see each other again. Yu'er, you have to take good care of yourself."
"I know, so do you, Qingying."
"Also, you are not young anymore. If you meet someone who knows how to deal with cold and heat——"
"Oh, stop talking." When she heard what I said, she immediately blushed and interrupted me, and squeezed my hand hard. I laughed: "Hey, you weren't so shy before.
, don’t you often tell me——”
"I told you not to say anything, but you still say it."
She shook off my hand and ignored me.
Looking at her cute appearance, I wanted to say these words to tease her more and more. Looking back, she used to say these words to tease me when I was in the palace, but now it's the other way around. Sure enough, not yet
There is really no comparison between girls who leave the court and women who have already married.
However, seeing Wei Ningyuan walking up, I couldn't continue to be so embarrassed at her, so I turned around and said to Wei Ningyuan: "We must say goodbye after a long journey, Mr. Ningyuan, please be careful along the way."
He didn't say much, he just looked at my face and said, "Ma'am, take care."
After saying that, he took Yu'er and cupped his hands towards me, turned around and left.
I stood at the entrance of the village and watched the two of them slowly disappear at the end of the mist-filled path.
Originally, I should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Whether it was sending them away, finding a temporary place for them, or finally no longer having to listen to Wei Ningyuan's painstaking persuasion, I should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
of.
But I don’t know why, but when I looked at the morning fog that swallowed up their backs, I felt my chest feel a little heavier.
I resisted every word Wei Ningyuan said, but I heard them all.
Pei Yuanxiu is a knife...
The Han sisters are the ones who sharpen this knife...
I am the scabbard of this knife...
I don’t know how long I stood at the entrance of the village. When I came back to my senses, my clothes and forehead were wetted by the mist, and my fingertips were a little cold. I slowly turned around and looked at the familiar small village behind me.
It's just a very simple place, but unexpectedly, in this early morning, shrouded in mist, it has a picturesque beauty.
I couldn't help but smile and walked into the reality in this fog.
The days that followed were much calmer.
The embroiderers still come to work in my small yard every day. Seeing how fast they are progressing, another boss comes to my door. Although the work is not much, it is still a business, so I calculate the days and make it.
I came down and took the job.
If business comes to you, the embroidery shop will have its own way of survival.
As a result, some girls and wives from Jixiang Village and other surrounding villages also wanted to join the embroidery workshop. I tried their work and accepted a few more people according to the standard of diligence and proficiency. My yard has been decorated
If it didn't work, they moved some people to work in Mrs. Zhao's yard.
A month later, Boss Wang’s batch of goods was delivered.
After getting back the previous mortgage and commission, I immediately paid off the debt, and then paid all the embroiderers' wages. Everyone was very happy, and I pulled Yunxiang into the house and gave the original four or two eight yuan of silver.
He returned it to her and gave her another two taels of silver.
She took the silver and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
I smiled and said: "This is your dividend."
"This, so much?!"
"If my business becomes bigger, there will be more."
"This - this -" It was probably the first time she encountered such easy money, and everyone was dumbfounded. I smiled and said: "You should take this principal back and put it away quickly, and don't let your family know.
As for these two taels——"
She raised her head and looked at me.
"If you have no use for it, you might as well come to this embroidery workshop again."
Yunxiang thought for a while and said: "Is it still the same as before and get dividends?"
"You don't want to?"
"No, it's not that I don't want to, I just want to - Qingqing, you have a lot of capital now, and you are not inferior to me. I seem to be making money from you."
I smiled and said: "Why don't you just become the second boss of the embroidery workshop. You also know that I am taking Li'er with me. If I want to run the embroidery workshop, I won't be able to take care of many things. If you help me, then I can
It saves you a lot of worry. In this way, we can make money together."
Yunxiang looked at me in surprise and joy, her cheeks flushed.
I know that for a little woman like her, she has always worked to get paid, but suddenly she has her own business and can make money for herself. Obviously, the impact is not comparable to that of making a little money.
I smiled and said: "Are you willing?"
She blushed and lowered her head, without speaking, but solemnly handed the piece of silver into my hand, then raised her eyes and looked at me: "I'll do it with you!"
In this way, my shabby embroidery workshop has slowly started to develop. However, the fact that Yunxiang is the second boss has not been announced. However, she works more energetically every day. In her spare time, she also teaches some skills that are not very good.
A skilled embroiderer went to learn from her. In the past, when she was working at my house, she would come over every once in a while to ask her to go home and do housework and so on. But now that doesn’t happen anymore. She often comes over to bring her tea.
The one who delivers food.

Within two days, while we were still busy with another business, we saw a carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard. I was leaning over to help an embroiderer explain how to untie the wrong stitch. When I heard the sound of horse hooves, I looked up and saw
Boss Wang got off the carriage and walked in with a smile.
I hurriedly greeted him: "Boss Wang, today you are on the humble foot."
"Haha, you're welcome, madam."
As he spoke, he looked at the embroidery ladies in the yard and said with a smile: "Madam is really capable, she has made the embroidery workshop so impressive so quickly."
I smiled and said: "Boss Wang is so polite, what kind of embroidery workshop is this?"
"Why not? It's just that the courtyard is a little smaller. In the future, you will receive more activities. With more people, the courtyard will naturally become larger."
"In that case, I would like to ask Boss Wang for more support."
"Hahahaha, you're welcome."
He laughed and followed me into the house. Several embroiderers in the room gave way one after another. I invited him to sit down and drink tea. Boss Wang happened to see Li'er playing next to him, so he smiled and waved:
"Little sister."
Li'er was still a little dissatisfied with him because of the robbery of the silver lock last time, but she came over obediently, just coyly. Boss Wang took a small bamboo horse from the waiter who came behind him and handed it to her:
"Do you like this little bamboo horse?"
Li'er's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded vigorously.
"Then, I'll give it to you."
Li'er laughed happily and hurriedly wanted to take it. Then she thought of something and raised her head to look at me. I laughed. I told her before that you can't take other people's things casually. Unexpectedly, she still remembered, so she smiled.
Said: "Since my uncle gave it to you, then you can take it."
"Well, thank you, uncle!" She said loudly, took it, and immediately played with it happily.
Boss Wang smiled and said: "Madam, this daughter is really well-taught."
I smiled and poured him tea. Boss Wang looked at the work on the embroidery racks next to him and said with a smile: "I have another batch of work in my hand, but I don't know that Madam——"
When I heard this, I was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "That's great."
"Is the lady in a hurry now?"
"Don't worry, Boss Wang, this batch of goods is not large, and now we are just missing the last bit of finishing touches."
"That's good."
He nodded and asked the waiter next to him to show me the embroidery sample. Although this time the work was more complicated than before and the requirements were more precise, the embroiderer here could still handle it, and there was still some time left.
I was very relaxed, so I agreed. This time he didn't charge much as mortgage, and he didn't embarrass me anymore. I was very grateful, and after signing the contract, I invited him over for dinner again and again.
Boss Wang smiled and said: "There's no need to eat, there are still a few places to go."
As he said that, he hesitated for a moment, turned back to look at me, and hesitated to speak. I felt strange, so I smiled and said, "Boss Wang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
He thought for a while, then walked back into the house and lowered his voice: "Madam, are there anyone practicing martial arts in this village?"
"Practice martial arts?"
I shook my head in confusion. Jixiang Village was originally just a small fishing village. How could there be people practicing martial arts?
"Well, are there people from neighboring villages who practice martial arts?"
"No. I'm familiar with all the people in the surrounding villages, and there's no one who knows martial arts."
"That's it..."
He frowned, thoughtful, and I became more and more confused. I didn't know what he meant, so I asked: "Boss Wang, why are you asking this? Is there something wrong in the village?"
He looked at me again, thought for a while, suddenly smiled and said, "No, I'm just asking casually. Madam, don't worry."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside. I walked him out of the yard, watched him get on the carriage, opened the curtain and cupped his hand to me, and then the carriage swayed towards the other road out of the village.
Go.
I stood there waving goodbye to them until the carriage left. Then I turned around and saw my small yard that seemed to be a prosperous scene. The embroiderers were still diligently threading their needlework. Yunxiang patiently explained to a young daughter-in-law.
How to apply acupuncture, Li'er has already teased a group of children with a small bamboo horse to chase her and call her king...
This is my life, completely my life.
It’s also my life that I don’t allow anyone to disturb.
No matter who it is, if they want to disturb my current life, I will not let him go easily.
