Siyang brought Long Qiaoqiao back. Although Guan Sheng used to be in the Jianghu,
Ever since he retired, he no longer used martial arts.
He lived as an ordinary person.
He didn't teach Lingshan martial arts at all.
On the way there, she had made an agreement with Long Qiaoqiao not to mention anything about what had happened in front of her father.
Guan Sheng listened to what Siyang secretly said to her.
"This Miss Long is a little confused.
It's not safe for a girl to be alone, so I brought her back first.
It's best if I can help her find her family. "
"You." Guan Sheng looked at her.
Long Qiaoqiao, who was sitting quietly at the table, didn't think she was a bad person.
So, he fulfilled his daughter's kindness.
"Okay, let her stay at home first."
"Thank you, Master Guan, for taking me in." Knowing that she could stay for the time being,
Long Qiaoqiao also breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't find her brother-in-law and niece.
She was also very anxious.
Guan Sheng waved his hand. "Miss Long, don't be so polite.
I'm a woodworker.
They all call me Master Guan. You don't have to be so polite.
Just call me Master Guan. "
Long Qiaoqiao followed his advice. "Master Guan."
The small bamboo house that Siyang and Guan Sheng lived in was not big.
It only had two or three rooms.
Except for the two bedrooms.
There was also a utility room, which was not easy to clean up. Long Qiaoqiao lived with Siyang.
"It's really too much trouble." Long Qiaoqiao watched Siyang add more quilts to the bed and take out her clean clothes. Although she was sometimes a little delirious, she could still distinguish good and evil people around her.
"It's nothing. When you find your family, everything will be fine. I'm just helping you." Long Qiaoqiao had a hard life, and Siyang didn't hate her.
Holding the clean clothes, Long Qiaoqiao caressed the embroidery on them. "Did you embroider the flowers on these?"
"Yes, yes. My embroidery skills are not exquisite. I just fumble around on my own."
Long Qiaoqiao revealed a blissful smile: "I also know how to embroider, but I like embroidering mandarin ducks the most. My embroidery skills were taught to me by Big Brother Yun. His embroidery skills are the best, and no one in this world can compare to Big Brother Yun."
Siyang blinked. "… Big Brother Yun."
"Yes." Long Qiaoqiao walked to the window and looked at the setting sun outside with a faint smile on her lips: "Big Brother Yun went to the capital to do business. He said that he will marry me after he returns from his business."
"But …" Siyang walked to her side and stared at her: "This is the capital."
Long Qiaoqiao's body stiffened. She suddenly turned around and stared blankly: "This, this is the capital?"
"Your Thunderbolt Camp is not far from the capital. Don't you know that this is the capital area?" Siyang sighed inwardly: "Are you sure that your Big Brother Yun …"
She originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Long Qiaoqiao's face suddenly turn pale, she couldn't bear it and changed the topic, "Aunt Qiao, quickly go wash up. Didn't you want to find your brother-in-law and the others? I know some news. I'll tell you after you wash up. "
As expected, Long Qiaoqiao's attention was easily diverted. Or it could be said that she subconsciously didn't want to think too deeply about the previous topic.
"Okay, okay, I'll go now."
Tian Li wanted to run the second day after marrying into the Ning family. However, her father and several bandit uncles were locked up and waiting to be executed. She talked to the bandit who ran away and found out that if she wanted to save him, she needed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wangye's token to get close to the prison cell.
Therefore, she ran back to be an obedient daughter-in-law. She wanted to borrow Princess Yuelan's power to see if she could steal the token. Unfortunately, she was the daughter of a bandit and couldn't read a single word. It was quickly discovered that she was illiterate. Therefore, she and Princess Yuelan immediately started a heated and violent mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war.
"You're saying that Eleven married into the Ning family and became Princess Yuelan's daughter-in-law?" Long Qiaoqiao couldn't believe it. How could her niece, who couldn't get married, become someone else's daughter-in-law in just one day?
"I didn't expect that my brother-in-law and the others would …" Long Qiaoqiao was a little sad. "In fact, although my brother-in-law and the others were bandits, they didn't kill anyone. They mostly robbed those rich and heartless country gentry."
"Although that's true, it's still wrong to be a bandit. Didn't they fail this time?"
Long Qiaoqiao was speechless.
Tian Li didn't have a mother when she was young. It was Long Qiaoqiao, her aunt, who raised her. The two of them were like mother and daughter. However, Long Qiaoqiao was stimulated more than 20 years ago. She was fine when she wasn't ill and acted like a normal person. Once she acted up, she became crazy and stupid, which made people worried. After her brother-in-law and the other bandits were caught, her niece married into another family.
Because Tian Li was focused on saving her father and others, she completely forgot about her aunt. She was tricked into being sold to a brothel. Fortunately, she wasn't as old as the young girls in the brothel. Sometimes, her behavior was a little strange. The brothel keeper didn't force her to serve customers. She only made her a maidservant who served tea and water.
Later, she was discovered by Tian Li and was redeemed. She also went through a lot.
Although Long Qiaoqiao lived here, she still missed Tian Li. When Guan Sheng went to deliver the sample, she pulled Siyang and said, "Lingshan, I want to go to the capital to see Shiyi. Although she married into the Ning family, with her personality, she will expose herself sooner or later."
Long Qiaoqiao was right about this.
"I think you shouldn't look for her for now. She just married into the family. It's better to wait for a few days." Anyway, Tian Li could save her father and the other bandits with her good luck. It was better to solve Long Qiaoqiao's problem first.
"What you said makes sense. It won't be good if we are discovered." Long Qiaoqiao nodded after thinking about it.
Siyang felt that the situation in the family needed to be changed. Guan Sheng's carpentry was good, but it didn't make much money. If there was a small illness in the family, it would be hard to make ends meet.
It was also because of the poor conditions that they had to live in the mountains in the suburbs. Fortunately, Guan Sheng was strong and wasn't afraid of those bandits.
"I didn't expect your embroidery skills to be better than what I saw yesterday."
When Siyang was embroidering the Seeking Phoenix, Long Qiaoqiao came over and praised her after seeing her embroidery.
This was natural. Compared to Lingshan, Siyang's embroidery skills were full. Anyway, Guan Sheng didn't know anything about embroidery and others didn't understand her. She didn't care if she revealed too much.
"Aunty Qiao, you said that your embroidery of mandarin ducks is the best. Why don't I keep this pair of mandarin ducks and you embroider it and let me observe?" Siyang pointed at an empty space below the embroidery.
Long Qiaoqiao naturally agreed: "Okay, I also feel that your embroidery skills are different from what Big Brother Yun taught me before. I was just about to learn from you."
There was no age difference between skills. It depended on the individual's ability.
Siyang and Long Qiaoqiao discussed for a while and both of them had their own insights. After chatting for a while, it was as if they regretted not having met earlier.
"You have such embroidery skills at such a young age. I feel that in time, you will definitely be more outstanding than Big Brother Yun."
This wasn't easy. Long Qiaoqiao always talked about her Big Brother Yun and no one could compare to him. Now that she said this, Siyang was really flattered.
"Aunty Qiao isn't bad either. The mandarin ducks you embroidered are so lifelike. Look at their eyes, they are practically glowing."
Long Qiaoqiao stroked the mandarin ducks on the embroidery. The smile on her face deepened and her eyes were filled with affection: "I have embroidered mandarin ducks for more than twenty years. Who knows them better than me?"
Twenty years.
"Lingshan, you said that you are currently embroidering for Feng Chao Huang." Long Qiaoqiao found it strange: "Why don't you directly become an embroiderer? That way, wouldn't you earn more money?"
Si Yang didn't hide it from her. "I want to save some money first. When the time comes, I'll go to the city to buy a shop. Then, I'll open a small embroidery workshop. If I go now, people will talk about it when I leave."
"I see." Long Qiaoqiao felt that she had thought it through thoroughly.
"If I open a shop, Aunty Qiao, if you are free, why don't you help me? I will give you half of the shares."
"Ah?" Long Qiaoqiao was stunned and immediately shook her head: "How can I do that? I don't have the money to invest."
After saying this, she felt that it was inappropriate and hurriedly said: "No, no. What I mean is that I think your skills are already very good. It would be great if you open your own embroidery workshop. Even if you ask me for help, you only need to be responsible for my salary. What shares? You saved me, so I can't accept that."
Siyang had long taken a fancy to Long Qiaoqiao's exquisite embroidery skills. Most importantly, her character was trustworthy. She pulled her hand and said with a smile: "Although Aunty Qiao doesn't have the money, you don't know that you have the skills to invest in."
"Invest in what?" Long Qiaoqiao, who was exposed to this for the first time, didn't understand.
"Your embroidery skills are your biggest capital." Siyang took the embroidery on the table and pointed at the pair of mandarin ducks with her fingertips.
"Let's not talk about this first. We should hurry up and save more money to find a shop." Long Qiaoqiao smiled helplessly.
That's right. Siyang didn't have much capital now, but she could soon make money. It was a business without capital.
Let's not talk about Siyang and Long Qiaoqiao's side.
Tian Li, who married into the Ning family as Ma Jia Yanxian.
Tian Li's identity hadn't been exposed, but her illiteracy had been seen through. At this stage, she didn't like Ning Maochun. She stayed here because she wanted to get Wangye's waist token.
And the high officials and nobles in the capital liked to make a good reputation. Princess Yuelan and members of the imperial family, Wangye and Mian Lun, took the lead to organize a charity disaster relief meeting. Tian Li saw this opportunity and wanted to get close to Mian Lun to steal her waist token.
"Tomorrow's disaster relief meeting, those high officials and nobles will all be present. It's another show."
In the dark forest, a small bonfire was lit. Next to the bonfire, two people were sitting around it. The man in black had a silver mask on his face and a wooden stick in his hand. There was a roasted chicken on the stick.
"Those people's extravagant clothing and food are all obtained by plundering the people's wealth. The money from the so-called disaster relief meeting is just a formality. In the end, it will still flow into their own pockets."
The person sitting next to the man in black spoke slowly. The light of the fire shone on his face. It was Guan Sheng's face, but at this time, his face wasn't as honest and sincere as before. The corners of his mouth were raised in a mocking smile. His eyes reflected the fire, making him look more fierce than usual.
"Don't worry, I'll make those people lose face tomorrow." The man in black's voice was low and full of confidence.
Guan Sheng raised the wine bottle and took a sip. He laughed and scolded, "Don't forget, your mother will also be there tomorrow."
The man in black's hand holding the roasted chicken paused.
"Hey, be careful. Don't burn my chicken." Guan Sheng hurriedly said, "It's cooked, right? I've been waiting for a long time."
The man in black had no choice but to take off the mask on his face. At this time, his voice suddenly changed and became gentle. "Master, you deliberately scared me."
The mask was taken off, revealing a handsome face.
