Chapter 81 He is digging his own grave!
"What's fake is still fake. No matter how fanciful you say it, it can't change the fact that Lady Lotus is a fake."
Jiang Anning: "There is no need for us to expose it. Time will naturally backfire on those who have lied and made falsehoods. When the time comes, we will just have to watch from the other side."
"But once the news that another embroiderer has died is spread by someone who is interested..."
Jiang Anning paused slightly and lowered her voice: "You and I may not be taboo about such things, and noble people may not be taboo about such things either."
She looked at Song Yao: "Where is the person who wants to cause trouble?"
"There is no guarantee that they will not 'taboo' such things and use them to make a big fuss about it."
"When three people become tigers, it means that if the nobles want to avoid taboos, they will have to listen to the people's opinions and develop taboos about it."
Song Yao was frightened after hearing this.
"Then aren't we..." We will be manipulated by others all the time?
When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Jiang Anning told her not to tell anyone other than today that she knew about it.
In this way, as long as she didn't say anything... no one except Jiang Anning could control her in this way.
But...
Song Yao couldn't help but cast his gaze on Jiang Anning's face.
Could such a woman with such pure eyes and peaceful smile be something different from what she appears to be to a deep-minded person?
While reminding her to be careful about being plotted by others, do you also have the intention to teach her... Now the two of us are really grasshoppers in the same boat. If you are unkind, I have my own way to be unjust!
Song Yao was not sure.
She saw that Jiang Anning was really pure and clean, but her words inevitably made her think too much.
"Why does Sister Song keep looking at me?"
Jiang Anning raised her lips and smiled: "But what did I say wrong?"
"No."
Song Yao was inexplicably panicked for a moment. It was clear that the person in front of him was still the clean and pure innocent girl before, but for some reason, she felt like she didn't dare to look directly.
"You are right. We really have to be more careful about this matter, lest the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. At that time, we will be honest, and the dark little life will cause trouble uneasily. I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss. .”
Song Yao's smile seemed a little forced: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep silent about this matter and will not tell any third person besides you and me that I know about it."
She held his hand tightly: "As sisters, we work together, so I won't worry about the future of Huangxiufang in the future."
"You don't know how worried I am these days..."
Song Yao patted the person's hand affectionately: "Now that you are here, I feel like I have found my backbone, and I am not afraid at all."
"An Ning, I really want to thank you!"
There was a bit of sincerity in Song Yao's smile: "Let me be the host tonight. Let's go to Donglaishun to eat hotpot!"
"Sister Song doesn't blame me for concealing it before. It's already a great kindness. How can I eat and drink from my sister again?"
Jiang Anning smiled: "I'll invite my sister."
Song Yao said "Hey" and pretended to be angry: "Since you call me sister, there is no reason to ask my sister to pay for the treat!"
"That's it!"
She couldn't help but become domineering, stood up and pulled the person to the backyard: "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and come back as soon as I go!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Anning: "I forgot to ask, where are you from? You are more exposed, and you don't look tired at all. The clothes are wrinkled, but you have sweated, and after getting wet, Dry again.”
Although Song Yao was not good at embroidery, he was indeed very good at embroidering various fabrics.
With just a glance, she knew where the wrinkles in Jiang Anning's clothes came from.
"Would you like to change your clothes too?"
So I go out to eat, and I go to a crowded place like a restaurant, and there might be someone who is blind and talks nonsense.
Jiang Anning didn't mind what she was wearing, but after all, she was being invited to dinner, so it was polite to dress decently and cleanly.
Then he nodded: "Okay."
She explained with a smile: "I came from home, because I really couldn't get used to riding in a carriage, so I walked for a long time before the sun set."
"Unexpectedly, I was blocked by a beggar passing by begging..."
Song Yao was shocked, ‘Huh? ' With a sound, he hurriedly came forward and carefully inspected the person up and down.
"Then are you okay? Are you shocked? Isn't there anyone at the city gate who can stop me?" She felt a little resentful.
Jiang Anning shook her head: "Sister, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm just a poor man who came here to beg for food. I think he encountered some difficulties and did it as a last resort."
She said a few words lightly: "After I took him to the inn in the city to settle down, I was thinking about the job I had accepted from Mrs. An, so I came directly to your place, sister. I didn't expect..."
The lion asked people to pay a deposit of 1,200 taels of silver, but it still failed to prevent him from breaking the contract.
Jiang Anning couldn't help but be speechless: How rich must this Mrs. An be? He didn't even care about one thousand two hundred taels.
What kind of skills does Lady Lian have that she can actually trick Mrs. An into spending such a huge amount of money?
"Mrs. An's job is not necessarily completely out of reach."
With the reassurance given by Jiang Anning, Song Yao was not as anxious as before.
"How to say?"
Jiang Anning blinked, confused.
Earlier, I looked at Song Yao's expression as if the sky was falling, but I didn't realize at all that there was still a way to save him deep in his heart.
"Do you still remember the bet you made with Mrs. An?"
Jiang Anning nodded: "Of course I remember."
"I don't know how Sheng Yuewen found out about this."
Song Yao covered his mouth and laughed: "I heard that he wanted to be the best. Initially, Mrs. An was very hesitant, but after his constant persuasion, he promised to bear 50% of the cost as the embroidery project. The bonus of winning the championship persuaded Mrs. An to accept the matter half-heartedly.”
"I watched with cold eyes. Mrs. An was not very enthusiastic about this matter in the arena. Sheng Yuewen was basically the one to take charge of all the big and small matters."
Jiang Anning blinked: "Then he dug his own grave?"
How dare a fake to be so high-profile?
Could it be that there really are two brushes?
She was a little unsure for the moment.
"I think so."
Song Yao snorted: "You haven't seen him. When he came to deliver the invitation to me today, he looked so arrogant, as if they had won the first place."
"Didn't Sister Song think before that they would definitely win?"
Jiang Anning mercilessly exposed people's thoughts, covering her mouth and snickering.
Song Yao glared at her: "Nonsense, I didn't!"
It's just that she doesn't mean what she says, and she really doesn't have much confidence.
Just because he made eye contact with Jiang Anning, he was quickly defeated. "Hey, that, that wasn't the case at that time. I heard them say that Madam Lian was very capable. Even the most noteworthy Buddha-worshipping picture in our Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop was rumored to have been made by her. I believe their lies, why don’t I panic?”
The more Song Yao spoke, the more righteous he felt.
"You can panic, you can panic, but Sister Song is not panicking now, is she?"
Jiang Anning boldly patted the heart, causing Song Yao to stare: "You girl, you are getting more and more cunning!"
The two mingled freely and had a good time.
"Now that I have the reassurance you have given me, am I not panicking anymore?"
Song Yao straightened his messy hair and adjusted his half-open clothes: "I just don't know where Sheng Yuewen got the confidence to do this."
"If the embroiderer really doesn't have two brushes, isn't he digging a hole for himself?"
"I'm afraid that if the time comes, I will have to do it myself and bury the soil myself."
She glanced at Jiang Aning and said frankly: "You don't know. Before you came, I would have started to wonder if Sheng Yuewen spent a lot of money to poach you at a high price."
< br>
"After all, my blindfolded father who couldn't get close to him really left a lot of money for Sheng Yuewen."
"In the past, the Wen family was not the richest man in Jiang'an County, nor was it comparable to Mrs. An's wealth, but he was not someone who had never been found before. He could still be ranked among the top ten."
"If I hadn't snatched some of my mother's dowry back with all my life, I wouldn't be unknown now."
"But I don't regret it either."
Song Yao said it very frankly, but in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy. He secretly glanced at Jiang Anning's expression, wondering if the person would be angry because of this and break up with her.
"If it were in the past, when I was still down and out, then Sister Song would have no doubt that I would definitely follow whoever gave me more money."
Jiang Anning didn't say any words of loyalty, and said bluntly: "However, today is different from the past."
"I still understand the principle of repaying kindness by a drop of water with a spring of water."
"Besides, at the beginning, I went to many embroidery shops, but in the end, only Sister Song was the only one who was willing to give me a fair and real price and accept the picture of worshiping Buddha."
"Even later, that picture of worshiping Buddha helped Sister Song become famous in the capital, and brought you the glory of Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop."
"I have never thought about taking credit for it. After all, if it weren't for Sister Song's discerning eye, I would have starved to death on the streets."
"So, this credit, from beginning to end, belongs to you alone, Sister Song."
"I'm afraid that I haven't repaid you enough, so why would you go out and stab your opponent in the back?"
Song Yao felt a little embarrassed when he was told that.
I always feel that I am a bit too dirty and not as open and honest as Jiang Anning.
"You don't have to say that..."
Song Yao coughed twice to hide his discomfort.
"We are mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation!"
Jiang Anning smiled and nodded without refuting what he said.
Song Yao felt much more comfortable now.
"Speaking of which, Sheng Yuewen has no vision."
She said with disdain without concealing her disgust: "Forget it, it's a great day, a good time and beautiful scenery, let's not mention that unlucky thing of his!"
"Let's change clothes and go eat!"
“I have been thinking about Donglaishun’s hotpot mutton for a long time.”
Jiang Anning was a little greedy by what she said: "I also miss their sesame sauce, it always seems to be more fragrant than other people's."
The two happily changed their clothes. The one Jiang Anning wore was what Song Yao was wearing on the day of the fight. After the two agreed on their share of the shares, Song Yao went to the tailor shop to add money to make it.
It was just delivered this noon.
The pomegranate red shawl makes people look more delicate. The chrysanthemum-patterned floral fabric uses different warp and weft threads when weaving it. As you move, the colors and dark patterns are different as the light changes, which is different from the floating pattern. Guangjin is quite similar.
Three-dimensional Bogu flower baskets are embroidered on the front and back, and the cuffs and neckline are echoed with wild pictures.
The mantises and katydids above are vividly displayed.
When walking around, it seems as if they are alive and chasing each other.
Song Yao also specially brought a grass-worm hairpin that he had just made not long ago and put it on Jiang Anning.
"Don't tell me, I always thought you were handsome, but you were rough. I never saw you dressing up, so you weren't that outstanding."
"Looking at it now, isn't it that you are as beautiful as a fairy, better than a Diao Chan or a flying swallow? When you walk on the street later, I'm afraid you will make countless men, women and children fall in love with you, and they will bump into the wall and sprain their feet."
Jiang Anning had never heard such nonsense in her two lifetimes, but she still praised her for her beauty, and her face suddenly turned red: "Sister Song is teasing me again..."
Song Yao covered his mouth and chuckled: "I'm telling the truth. With your looks like this, I don't know which bastard boy you will be able to take advantage of in the future."
She was sincerely moved.
Jiang Anning is extremely beautiful.
She is very beautiful when she is bare-faced, like a hibiscus in clear water.
Now that she is slightly dressed up, she looks even more beautiful.
Jiang Anning could not help but lose consciousness.
This is not the first time she has heard words such as 'getting married' and 'who will get cheaper'.
But does she have to get married in this life?
"Let's go, why are you dazed? There aren't many people around right now. If we wait a little longer, I'm afraid they will close."
Song Yao nudged the person, and Jiang Anning suddenly came back to her senses.
"Oh, good!"
"What are you thinking about? You're distracted." Song Yao turned his head and glanced at the person.
Jiang Anning shook her head: "I didn't think about anything. I was just distracted by the crickets jumping in the grass."
"Huh?"
Cricket? In the grass?
Song Yao followed the person's dazed gaze and forgot about it, and he did plant some wild flowers and grasses.
But where can this guy go to see crickets?
Even during the day, if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see anything, right?
Seeing the confusion, Jiang Anning made up a random reason: "Sister Song doesn't know something. Our master has taught an exclusive secret that is not passed on to others. It helps to improve eyesight. It is suitable for embroiderers when doing embroidery work. Rest and relax the eyes to relieve fatigue. It is also suitable for capturing more detailed scenery and assisting in embroidery. ”
It sounds very powerful.
Song Yao believed it and nodded with awe.
Seeing that he had been fooled, Jiang Anning breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the downtown streets were still brightly lit, and from time to time there would be two sounds of shouting and hawking.
As soon as they walked in, the two of them were so enticed by the grilled fresh lamb and wontons in duck soup that they couldn't walk away.
