The next day, Shen Ziqiao hugged the quilt and fell into a thin layer of sweat. Fortunately, the place under the mountain was cool, so she slept comfortably. If Hongyu hadn't come in to wake her up, she didn't know how long she would have slept.
"Miss San, people from the Qi family have come to pick up Young Master Qi." Hongyu combed Shen Ziqiao's hair, she had to wake Shen Ziqiao up, Qi Zheng's servants came to pick him up, and said that she would thank Miss Third in person.
She should have pushed, but yesterday she saw that Miss San and Young Master Qi seemed very familiar, so she had to ask Miss San what she meant first.
"Then let him go, don't you want me to set off firecrackers to see him off?" Shen Ziqiao said.
Hongyu put Shen Ziqiao on a tulle blouse embroidered with autumn fragrance and green embroidered long branches of flowers, and a crescent white pleated skirt. Hongying brought a bowl of porridge as white as jade and some pickled melons.
Shen Ziqiao ate with relish, "This taste is much better than the one at home, who made it?"
"It's Mrs. Meng." After Hongyu finished speaking, she carefully looked at Shen Ziqiao's face.
"Well, the craftsmanship is very good." Shen Ziqiao praised nonchalantly, "I need to get to know the people here in a while."
She can be regarded as one of the bosses, so she has to meet with the employees to get to know each other, so that they can get along better in the future.
Hongyu froze, staring at her in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ziqiao asked suspiciously, "Is there something on my face?"
Perhaps it was because of the past many years, the third miss had forgotten about Mrs. Meng and the others, Hongyu thought to herself, "Third miss, Young Master Qi is waiting for you outside."
Shen Ziqiao dawdled for a while before bringing Hongyu out to meet Qi Zheng.
Behind Qi Zheng stood several young men dressed as servants, and when they saw Shen Ziqiao approaching, they all raised their hands in salute, "Miss Shen Third."
"Master Qi is leaving. Have a good trip. Don't see him off. Go out and turn left." Shen Ziqiao waved to them with a smile, and said to Qi Zheng with a fake smile.
Qi Zheng looked at her with a silly smile.
The group of uncles beside him smiled and said, "Yesterday, there were more Miss Shen who helped our young master. It's all because the servant accidentally got separated from the young master. I really don't know how to repay you, Miss San."
"Repay?" Shen Ziqiao grinned, that smile was very sly, she pointed at Qi Zheng, "Let your young master give me a promise, and let me order you around for a few days."
Uncle Qun's face turned green when he heard the body promise. Fortunately, the latter sentence was a joke, and he smiled stiffly, "Miss San really likes to joke."
"I'm not joking." Shen Ziqiao said solemnly, "Your young master has caused me so much misery, you must give me some spiritual compensation, I saved him halfway, so that he would not be picked up by wild beasts, eat and live well Look at him, you must be too embarrassed to say thank you."
Even if I just wanted to say thank you, I can't say it now.
Hongyu standing behind Shen Ziqiao felt even more embarrassed, Miss San, didn't you still want Master Qi to live in the firewood house yesterday, why did it become delicious and comfortable after sleeping
Qi Zheng looked at her with dark eyes, as if a faint smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Uncle Qun probably didn't expect Shen Ziqiao to be so... You're welcome, she didn't know what to say.
"Uncle Qun, thank you for the money." Qi Zheng said innocently to Uncle Qun.
Shen Ziqiao's eyes lit up.
A servant behind Qi Zheng said embarrassingly, "Young Master, Third Miss Shen won't ask for money."
Which young lady would value such vulgar things so much? What's more, it's Miss Shen San who spends money like water, she will definitely be laughed at if she says to thank you with money.
"Who said that!" Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, and when she looked at Qi Zheng, she seemed to say that you are really good, "Silver is a good thing, young master, how much money do you want to give back to me?"
How did it become...
Hongyu was in a mess in the wind, and Miss San seemed to have a thicker skin.
"How about one thousand taels?" Qi Zheng asked pretending to be uncertain, his handsome face was as innocent as that of a ten-year-old child.
"That's too polite, it's settled." Shen Ziqiao said.
Uncle Qun probably didn't expect Shen Ziqiao to really ask for money, his face was turning blue and white, and he has learned a lot today.
Under Qi Zheng's urging, Uncle Qun gave Shen Ziqiao a thousand taels of silver.
Shen Ziqiao sent them out of the gate with a smile, "It's good to leave."
Qi Zheng walked in the front, and when he heard her words, he suddenly turned around and showed a bright smile, "Is this thousand taels considered a bride price?"
Seeing a super handsome guy smiling so brightly in front of her, Shen Ziqiao's heart shuddered twice. Hearing his words, her little face immediately darkened, "Hire your sister! Who wants to marry you, an idiot."
Uncle Qun gave her an ugly look. Fortunately, the young master doesn't have to marry such a philistine woman, who doesn't look like a dignified and virtuous lady at all.
Qi Zheng's thin lips were slightly raised, and he got into the carriage happily and left.
Hongyu resisted the urge to cover her face and sigh, and tugged on Shen Ziqiao's sleeve, "Miss San, why did you really take money from... Young Master Qi?"
"If you don't take it, isn't it for nothing?" If you don't take money, you will be struck by lightning.
"Miss San, you..." Hongyu looked at Shen Ziqiao happily holding the bank note, and said helplessly, "You were not like this before."
Shen Ziqiao coughed lightly, turned around and patted her on the shoulder solemnly, and said with deep affection, "Hongyu, people are going to change, do you see how I used to be? I lived my life, and it was almost designed in the end, I did it to survive better."
Hongyu was shocked, "Who dares to design Miss San?"
"How do you think I entered Qi Zheng's room when I was in Thousand Buddha Temple? Someone must be trying to harm me." Shen Ziqiao said.
"Does Third Miss know who it is?" Hongyu asked nervously.
Isn't it Sheng Peiyin, but no one will believe it, the heroine's halo is always very strong, she smiled, "If I knew, how could I be here."
Hongyu already consciously thought that the Shen family was going to harm Miss San, and couldn't help feeling more sympathetic to Shen Ziqiao, "Miss San, this servant will definitely protect you."
Shen Ziqiao nodded movedly.
Back in the yard, there were several women in coarse clothes standing at the bottom of the steps, Hongying was talking happily to one of them, and Shen Ziqiao didn't even notice when she came in.
"Miss San, those women are all daughters-in-law who work in the village, do you still remember?" Hongyu asked tentatively.
Shen Ziqiao nodded, and replied under Hongyu's surprised gaze, "I met you last night, of course I remember."
Hongyu sighed in disappointment, "That belongs to Mrs. Meng and the Lin family, it's..."
"Third Miss is here." Hongying finally found them, and shouted happily, interrupting what Hongyu was about to say.
A row of people all lowered their bodies to salute Shen Ziqiao, "Third Miss."
Shen Ziqiao nodded with a smile, and stretched out her hands to help, "Everyone get up, you're welcome, I'm new here, please take care of me."
Everyone stared at her blankly.
What did she say wrong? Shen Ziqiao wondered, only now did she realize that something was wrong, the way they looked at her... had she seen it before? Wasn't it the first time she had been driven here
The eyes of those people seemed to be very emotional, but with... resentment
Blame her
Hongyu walked to her side, and introduced in a low voice, "Miss San, this is Mrs. Meng, from the Lin family, Haitang, Zhishui...they are all Madam's former companions and personal maids."
Mrs. Shen's companion? How come here
Shen Ziqiao was stunned. ... (I added more, let me encourage you with some recommendation tickets, recommendation tickets~~~~collect~~~~support~~~~)
