There was a hint of helplessness in Guan Sheng's words.
However, he immediately added, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems with the changes I made this time.
Last time, Boss Ning happened to not be here.
If he was here, he would personally check these samples. If he were here to look at them, there wouldn't be so many problems. "
Siyang thought about it for a moment.
With the character of the boss of the Ning family, Third Master, he definitely wouldn't make things difficult for Guan Sheng for no reason.
He didn't say anything else.
After breakfast, Guan Sheng began to work, while Siyang washed the dishes.
After checking the embroidery she embroidered and making sure there were no problems, she wrapped it up and carried it out of the door.
"Father,
I'll go to the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix to deliver the embroidery.
Wait for me to come back at noon to cook. "
"Okay, be careful on the road." Guan Sheng was a little worried. "Why don't I wait for me to finish the sample?
I'll go with you. "
Siyang smiled. "No need.
This embroidery is in a hurry. It's just right to deliver it today. "
It was a long walk from the small bamboo house to the city.
Fortunately, it wasn't too far.
The Guan family had settled here for more than ten years.
They also knew a lot of people around, so it wasn't too dangerous for Lingshan to go out alone.
"Now the boss and the others are all locked up in prison, waiting to be executed …"
"It's so serious … what should we do?"
"… There's only one way now."
When they passed by a small alley in the city, Siyang keenly heard this conversation. She stopped in her tracks, raised her eyebrows, and poked her head out to take a look. She saw a young man and a young woman talking in a low voice inside.
That tigress of the Ning family had chosen her daughter-in-law out of thousands of people. Who would have thought that they would run away on the first day of their marriage? But... Siyang rubbed his chin. He didn't want to get involved in this matter for the time being. After all, Ning Maochun and Tian Li were enemies. They could solve this problem easily. After thinking about it, he quietly retreated.
'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' was the largest embroidery workshop in the capital. It was famous not only because it had been operating in the capital for twenty years, but also because the owner of 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix', the Third Master of the Ning family, had excellent embroidery skills. The embroidery he made could be used as a tribute to the imperial family. Of course, the most important thing was that the owner of 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' was the daughter of the Upper Three Banners of Manchuria.
Xitara Princess Yuelan was born in the Upper Three Banners and had a noble status. Twenty years ago, she happened to meet the Third Master of the Ning family, Ning Fengde, and fell in love with him at first sight. She begged the emperor to grant her a marriage.
In addition to the noble identity of Xitara Salan Gege, her cousin was the current Empress. With a strong background, she could be said to be extremely unruly and willful. She was domineering and unreasonable. In the entire capital city, from the high officials and dignitaries to the lowly merchants, no one was not afraid of her.
With this Ge Ge, the Ning family had both power and wealth. After so many years, they developed rapidly from a small ordinary family to a big family now.
"Boss, are you satisfied with this embroidery?" Siyang was better than Guan Sheng. As soon as she entered "A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix", she met Boss Ning and presented the embroidery to him.
"A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix" was a big business with a lot of orders. Sometimes, there was no time to rush the work. Guan Sheng was familiar with the Ning family. Lingshan and Ning Maochun were also childhood sweethearts. If the embroidery was not too complicated, he would ask Lingshan to help. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was to let the father and daughter have more income. Boss Ning was really good to them. On the contrary, some things that happened later made the two families unable to turn back.
Ning Fengde looked at the embroidery with a trace of surprise in his eyes. "Lingshan, I didn't expect you to be so talented in embroidery. You have made rapid progress. This embroidery is almost comparable to the embroidery made by the best embroiderers here."
Although Boss Ning was over forty years old, his facial features were regular and his appearance was dignified. One could see that he was handsome when he was young. Of course, if his appearance was not good, he would not have caught the eye of the arrogant Princess Yuelan.
"Boss, you are too kind. The embroiderers of" A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix "were all taught by you. Lingshan cannot compare." Siyang thought to herself. Fortunately, she did not put her heart into the embroidery. Otherwise, it would have been suspicious.
"En, not bad." The more Ning Fengde looked, the more satisfied he was. He turned to Siyang and said, "A few days ago, Maochun recommended you to be an embroiderer at" A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix ". But these days, the whole family has been busy preparing for his wedding, so it has been delayed. Lingshan, if you are willing to join" A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix ", I believe that your talent will quickly catch up to the others here."
Join "A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix"?
No, this was not what Siyang was thinking. Although there were many opportunities here, in the end, she was just an embroiderer. Moreover, if she made some achievements, it would only mean that she had been taught well by "A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix". But she did not want to be stuck at "A Male Phoenix Seeking Female Phoenix".
Lingshan felt guilty towards the Ning family... no, to be more accurate, she felt guilty towards the young couple. She did not care about the others. Sometimes, it was better to stay away from them.
"Lingshan is very grateful for Boss's praise, but my father is alone. Sometimes, he has some small illnesses and pains. I want to stay at home and take care of him. Otherwise, if I am not home, he will not eat on time." Siyang bit her lip and gently shook her head as she declined in a soft voice.
"You really don't want to consider it? Maochun said that you have always liked embroidery." Ning Fengde felt that it was a pity.
Siyang smiled, but still shook her head and refused: "If Boss doesn't mind, if Feng Chao Huang is too busy in the future, I can help. But I still have to take care of my family."
Guan Sheng, as a man, had raised his daughter to this age. Now that his daughter was worried about him, it was understandable. Ning Fengde was a bit envious. He had a domineering daughter-in-law at home, and his son was as soft-hearted as him. Now that his son was also married, it would be better to have a daughter.
"Well, since you are so filial, I can't say much. But your embroidery skills are very good. You can't neglect it at home. When Feng Chao Huang has suitable work, I will have Maochun pass on a message to Master Guan."
"Thank you so much, Boss."
After paying for the embroidery, Siyang took a semi-finished embroidery from "A Male Seeking Female Phoenix". Boss Ning thought that her skills were good and asked her to go back and try embroidery. If she could do it, he probably meant that he could outsource work to her in the future.
Seeing that it was almost noon, she still remembered that she had promised Guan Sheng that she would go back and cook for him. After thinking about it, she went to the street that she often went to. There was still some wine left at home. She went to the braised food shop to buy half a jin of pig's ears for him to drink.
"The girl is just in front."
"... You, are you serious? Shiyi and brother-in-law are there? "
"Of course it's true. Let's go eat first. Then you can see your brother-in-law and niece."
Siyang had just come out of the braised food shop when she saw that at the corner of the street, a thin man with shifty eyes was pulling a girl about 30 years old.
Listening to the conversation between the two, she frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Seeing that the man was about to take the girl away, Siyang quickly stepped forward and grabbed the girl's arm.
"Auntie Qiao, so you're here. We've been looking for you for a long time."
The girl was stunned when she was suddenly grabbed. She looked at Siyang in confusion: "Miss, I, I don't know you?"
The skinny man had just spent a lot of effort persuading the woman whom he had coaxed and tricked into bringing into the city. He did not expect that at the last minute, someone would come running out to stop him. He had been doing business in this area for a long time. Until now, the people he had set his eyes on had not slipped through his hands.
"Where did this silly girl come from? Hurry up and go away." The thin man said as he was about to push Siyang.
The latter pulled the girl back a step to avoid his hand. She turned to Long Qiaoqiao and said: "Auntie Qiao, he's not a good person. He won't take you to see your brother-in-law."
"Who are you saying is not a good person?" Hearing this, the skinny man flew into a rage. He raised his fist and was about to hit Si Yang, but his eyes saw that her appearance was not bad. Moreover, compared to Long Qiaoqiao, who was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she was even more lively. Thus, a lewd smile appeared on his face. "Oh, little girl, you're not bad looking. Since you've delivered yourself to my door, then don't blame me. Since you know each other, then come with me."
"Are you really lying to me?" Long Qiaoqiao's face showed anger.
"Hmph, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." The thin man's patience was obviously exhausted. He looked behind him and waved his hand. Suddenly, a few people hiding in the dark walked over.
Si Yang's face also turned cold. She didn't care about anything else and quickly lifted her leg to kick the skinny man's lower abdomen. That person saw her move and wanted to dodge, but he didn't expect that the kick would come so quickly. What was even more unexpected was that the force of the kick would be so heavy. His body flew out, and when he fell to the ground, he was still in a daze. The next moment, the sharp pain in his lower abdomen made him curl up like a shrimp.
"Let's go." Siyang didn't want to be too entangled with these people. They were all low-class gangsters in the capital.
She pulled Long Qiaoqiao and ran a few steps. When she turned around, she saw that the few people behind her had helped the thin and small man up. A few of them were even chasing after them. In this world, they were openly abducting and selling innocent women.
The tip of her foot kicked a stone. The stone flew up and hit the person in front. He fell to the ground with a cry. There was a row of bamboo poles leaning against the wall. With a sudden push, they all fell in the direction of the few people. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Siyang quickly ran in the direction of the crowd with Long Qiaoqiao.
Lingshan was also familiar with the streets in the city. Siyang pulled the person in her hand and turned left and right until they reached the city gate. After making sure that there was no one around, they left the city.
"You know me? Then do you know where my brother-in-law and Shi Yi went? "
After leaving the city, Long Qiaoqiao knew that they were safe. She asked the question in her heart. At the same time, she was eager to get some information from Siyang.
Siyang looked at her from head to toe. "Aren't you afraid that I'm also a liar?"
Long Qiaoqiao clearly didn't expect her to say this, but after thinking about it carefully, she quickly shook her head. "I don't think you're that kind of person. Didn't you just save me from those people?"
Long Qiaoqiao was a meticulous, smart and kind person. It was a pity that she met a bad person and ended up being delirious for 20 years.
"Tell me what happened to you first." Siyang didn't give her a direct answer.
"I …" Long Qiaoqiao thought of this and her face was full of worry. "I lived with my brother-in-law in the Headless Valley. My brother-in-law has a mountain village. However, something suddenly happened yesterday. I went to the mountain village and couldn't find them, so I came down the mountain."
She recalled as she spoke.
"After I came down the mountain, I met that person just now. He said that he knew the whereabouts of my brother-in-law and Shi Yi, so I followed him … I didn't expect him to be a liar. Fortunately, I met you …" Long Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered. "I haven't asked for your name. I am Long Qiaoqiao."
"Guan Lingshan."
"Then I …"
Before Long Qiaoqiao could ask, Siyang interrupted her. "It's getting late. My house is nearby. If you don't mind, you can go to my house first. We can talk about your matter slowly."
Long Qiaoqiao had nowhere to go now, so she accepted Siyang's suggestion.
To be honest, the origin of this series of events was the Ning family.
Boss Ning and Princess Yuelan raised their only son, Ning Maochun, for twenty years. Moreover, he was the only third generation of the Ning family. They doted on him from top to bottom. When their son grew up, Princess Yuelan wanted to find a virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law who was talented and beautiful.
The unruly and domineering Princess Yuelan forcefully snatched the daughter of the Kong family from the Sima family and arranged the marriage. However, later on, she took a fancy to the Emperor's beauty. She purposely said some things in front of the Empress so that the Empress would decree the marriage.
Since there was a beauty here, they naturally didn't want the daughter of the Kong family. Princess Yuelan didn't want the Ning family to bear the infamy of breaking off the marriage, so she purposely said that Miss Kong had an incurable disease to ruin her reputation and successfully broke off the marriage.
With her reputation ruined, Miss Kong ran to the suburbs to hang herself. Then, she was rescued by a group of bandits outside. However, this group of bandits was actually a motley crew. They were so poor that they didn't even have enough food to eat and were about to disband.
The leader of the bandits' daughter was called Tian Li. Her nickname was Shiyi. She was simple-minded but well-developed. She believed in teaching and abhorred evil. After saving Miss Kong, she wanted to avenge her, so she ran to mess with Princess Yuelan. However, she accidentally left behind evidence. In the end, her family's Thunderbolt Camp was wiped out. While she and another person were escaping, they happened to meet the Ning family getting married. The beauty that Princess Yuelan took a fancy to eloped with someone else.
