Chapter 82 Revealing the true identity of Lady Lotus
Song Yao had never thought that one day he would be so in love with Jiang Anning.
As soon as they entered the street, they stood in front of the roasted mutton stall, unable to walk.
I had just walked a few steps after buying meat skewers, and I couldn't lift my feet in front of a stall selling fried stinky tofu.
After finally overcoming many obstacles along the way, I arrived at the gate of Donglaishun, my stomach already half full.
"We've finally arrived. If it's only two steps further, we might be able to go home directly."
Song Yao had just swallowed the stinky tofu in his mouth, looked at the Dong Laishun sign, and rubbed his stomach with emotion.
Jiang Anning smiled slightly and was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by an annoying voice.
"Hey! Isn't this our Boss Song? Why, the business has been so sluggish that you want to eat such pickled food that only poor people eat?"
Sheng Yuewen took a few exaggerated steps back, fanning the wind near his nose with both hands.
"How dare you swallow such a smelly thing."
"It's really not embarrassing enough!"
"At any rate, you were once the eldest lady of the Wen family..."
Sheng Yue paused when he heard the voice, and then laughed maliciously: "I think you might as well give in to me as soon as possible."
"After all, we were once siblings."
"Just for your father's sake, I can always reward you with a bowl of rice."
"It saves you the trouble of picking up things that even dogs won't eat."
Sheng Yuewen had no idea how many people he had offended with his words.
The stall selling stinky tofu is not far from here.
Many people who had just bought stinky tofu were looking at him, wanting to go up and give him two big ears.
However, this man was really well-dressed, not to mention the materials of the clothes, almost all of which were mixed with gold and silver threads. When the lights shone on him, his eyes hurt.
There are ten big golden rings on this man's hand alone.
Even the boots on the feet are made of Sichuan brocade.
The sole of the shoe is embedded with a ring of pure gold, ingot-shaped veneer.
It looks like you are either rich or noble.
If someone like this were beaten, I'm afraid he would lose everything.
Many people were afraid of Sheng Yuewen's wealth and attire, so they dared not speak out in anger.
The most angry person is undoubtedly the stinky tofu vendor.
"What the hell, you're spouting shit, but you have the nerve to dislike my stinky tofu."
"I, a brat, don't have as bad a mouth as him!"
He muttered a few words in a low voice and gave people a few harsh glances, but he didn't dare to make any big moves again for fear of attracting people's attention.
Song Yao couldn't help but argue with others a few times, but his energy was not good enough. He would only say a few words before being provoked by Sheng Yuewen and lose his temper.
She was defeated and couldn't help but look at Jiang Anning.
"This should be Lady Lotus, right?"
Jiang Anning almost laughed out loud as she looked at the man trying to hide behind Sheng Yuewen, trying to reduce his presence.
Who was Lady Lian who was regarded by Song Yao as his formidable enemy and almost demonized?
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an old acquaintance.
Oh!
A great embroiderer?
One of the creators of the Buddha image?
Lady Lian, who was so highly praised by Sheng Yuewen that even Mrs. An was impressed by the embroidery she displayed, that she agreed to hold a stage to praise her?
Jiang Anning looked at such a familiar face and sneered.
Originally, she was still thinking that because Sheng Yuewen was so enthusiastic about playing in the ring, maybe Lady Lian really had some skills.
Unexpectedly...
Jiang Anning laughed louder and louder, which made Song Yao and Sheng Yue laugh inexplicably.
"What are you laughing at!"
Sheng Yuewen was a little annoyed, as if he had been laughed at.
"I laugh...Boss Sheng is delighted to have a treasure of talent. In the future, the business of the embroidery shop will surely flourish."
Jiang Anning was smiling, but it was hard to tell how sincere her congratulations were.
But even Song Yao could tell that this was obviously irony.
Sheng Yuewen seemed to be unable to hear the underlying meaning. He looked proud and puffed up his chest.
"That's natural!"
Phew!
Jiang Anning covered her face with her sleeves and laughed even louder.
Sheng Yuewen frowned.
"What are you laughing at?"
Isn't what he said right?
Jiang Anning finally stopped laughing and looked at Sheng Yuewen as if she were looking at a fool: "I heard that Madam Lian in Boss Sheng's house has two-sided and three-different embroidery skills. She is very good at it. If I get the chance, I will I must visit and observe, and study hard.”
She looked past Sheng Yuewen and landed on Lady Lian: "At that time, I hope Lady Lian will not hesitate to teach me!"
Lady Lian tilted her head and covered half of her face with her sleeves guiltily.
I simply didn’t dare to accept this.
She was furious.
Why are you so unlucky? I just went out to have a meal, but I unexpectedly met Jiang Anning, the god of plague.
However, Sheng Yuewen saw some clues and looked at Jiang Anning's face briefly.
Does this girl look familiar?
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
"I heard that Boss Sheng wants to compete in a competition in our Jiang'an County and invites embroiderers from various embroidery workshops to compete for the leader."
"So what?"
Sheng Yuewen looked at the group of people carefully and finally remembered where he had seen this person.
The contempt in his eyes was obvious,
How can a person like Suga Kuai deserve his attention?
"I think this Miss Lian is the trump card that Boss Sheng has entrusted with the important task and is preparing to win the first prize and become famous?"
"None of your business!"
Sheng Yuewen was very displeased and hated the feeling of having his thoughts seen through. It seemed like he was so stupid.
He looked past Jiang Anning and landed on Song Yao, feeling even more disgusted.
No wonder they play together with Song Yao, they are both equally annoying.
"It's really none of my business."
Jiang Anning's eyes fell on Lady Lian, who was covering her face with a guilty conscience: "Here it is, I wish Boss Sheng's wish will come true."
She couldn't hold it back, covered her mouth and laughed, turned around quickly and took Song Yao's arm: "Sister Song, let's go quickly, lest we look at the disgusting things for too long and become unappetizing and unable to eat them."< br>
Sheng Yuewen's face was full of anger.
Who is this little bitch scolding?
Who is a thing!
Lady Lian was even more furious.
Who did she owe her to where she is now, having to disguise her identity and cheat for jobs?
Isn't it because she, Jiang Anning, has no peace of mind and is ready to die after a few minor grievances? As a result, her family is almost ruined and she has to live under someone else's roof!
She waved her hands to reveal the face that she had hidden for a long time, and glared at Jiang Anning full of resentment.
"Jiang Anning!"
Jiang Anning turned around slowly and looked at the person with a half-smile: "What advice does Lady Lian have?"
Lady Lian instantly felt guilty again, and felt a little bit too hard to get off.
Sheng Yuewen looked over suspiciously.
Lady Lian swallowed her saliva, fearing that others would find out, so she pretended to be fierce: "You, don't be proud, I will soon become the most powerful embroiderer in Jiang'an County, by that time..."
She stumbled for a long time, but she could only hold back the words: "There will be a day when you come to beg me!"
"Then I'm looking forward to that day?"
Jiang Anning nodded in agreement, but couldn't hold back her smile and laughed so loudly.
"You..."
Lady Lian was so angry that she raised her hand to step forward and slap the person.
Jiang Anning's eyes suddenly became sharp and sinister, and her tone was faint: "Do you also want to stay with Zhao Hai?"
Lady Lotus:......
She swallowed several times, retracted her hand, and met Jiang Anning's eyes, as if she was seeing an evil ghost crawling up from hell.
Lady Lian was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly.
"You, you are not a human! You are not a human!"
ghost!
Jiang Anning is a ghost!
Jiang Anning, who could only accept everything and didn't even dare to speak loudly to her, was possessed by a ghost!
She is no longer human!
Lady Lian described him as running away like crazy. Jiang Anning looked at the man's embarrassed back and sneered with disdain.
She is indeed not a human being, she is now an evil ghost demanding life from the Zhao family.
Song Yao was full of suspicion: "Do you know Lady Lian?"
Sheng Yue couldn't help but look at Jiang Anning when he heard this.
"Know!"
Jiang Anning said frankly: "She and I are from the same village and we are neighbors."
"Her brother also discussed marriage with me, and they just broke off the engagement not long ago."
Song Yao blinked and was confused for a while, then his eyes widened: "I have discussed marriage with you and just broke off the engagement. That's not..."
Zhao Hai?
Jiang Anning said 'hmm' and nodded: "She is the sister of Zhao Hai's mother, Zhao Yinlian."
"Huh?"
Song Yao opened his mouth in shock.
"Then she and you are from the same school?"
If this is really the case, doesn't it mean that Lady Lotus is really capable?
Jiang Anning sneered, her disgust undisguised: "She is worthy of being from the same school as my master!"
"Huh?"
Song Yao was a little confused: "Then who is she?"
"Once upon a time, I just..." Jiang Anning was about to say, but when she saw Sheng Yuewen, who was eavesdropping nearby, he was about to put his head on the two of them, and he hurriedly pulled Song Yao away.
The two left the place abruptly. Sheng Yue heard that before he could react in the future, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground, chewing mud.
"I*** you***..."
Ignoring what he cursed incoherently, Song Yao sighed in disgust: "Bad luck!" She took Jiang Anning's hand: "Let's go, stay away from this shameless dirty thing, so as not to get bad luck. .”
"Okay."
Jiang Anning glanced at Sheng Yuewen, the corners of her lips slightly curved.
She whispered: "I think some people may not be able to sleep tonight."
Song Yao didn’t understand why, ‘Huh? ’ made a sound.
Jiang Anning told her about Zhao Yinlian.
"Once upon a time, when I had just made some money from embroidery and was barely able to live and clothe myself, Zhao Yinlian followed Mrs. Zhang and came to my door, wanting me to teach her how to do embroidery."
"But after only two days of studying, Zhao Yinlian complained that she was tired and refused to study."
"It's so shameless. I went to the embroidery workshop in the city to pick up the work and came back."
"It's a pity that she is very unfamiliar with needlework. In order to cope with the embroidery workshop and not to pay liquidated damages, she left all the embroidery work to me."
Song Yao's eyes were full of shock: "How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
But when she thought about the conduct of Zhao Hai's family during the court confrontation, she no longer felt strange.
She then thought: "So, Madam Lian doesn't know how to do double-sided embroidery at all? Then Sheng Yuewen..."
"Cheated."
The smile on Jiang Anning's lips was sarcastic.
In her previous life, Zhao Yinlian learned to embroider from her, but because she was too lazy to learn, he destroyed her hands and she could no longer do embroidery.
Because she lost her reliance on making money, Zhao Hai's domestic violence against her became more frequent, and the Zhao family also bullied her more unscrupulously.
Originally, she didn't know where to find Zhao Yinlian and Zhao Jiang.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yinlian would take the initiative to deliver it to the door.
"I heard from my sister before that Sheng Yuewen promised to bear 50% of the expenses, and then she persuaded Mrs. An to agree to compete in the ring in Jiang'an County."
Song Yao said 'hmm': "That's true."
"I guess he wouldn't have thought that Lady Lotus has a false reputation...ah, she's obviously a liar!"
"Probably before this, Boss Sheng thought he was sure to win this competition, so he dared to make such a promise."
"Indeed."
Song Yao looked happy and felt at ease physically and mentally: "Now that the matter in the ring has been decided, I want to see carefully how he will end up."
"Mrs. An is not a good person and will not allow Sheng Yue to go back on her word and ruin her credibility."
Jiang Anning smiled and raised her tea cup: "Then I have to congratulate sister in advance."
"Boss Sheng previously thought he was sure of victory. In order to create a gimmick, I'm afraid the rewards will be very generous and most of his wealth will be taken in."
"Now we have to steal the chicken but lose the rice. I lost my wife and lost the army. I am afraid that even the credibility of Yuewen Embroidery Workshop will be greatly reduced."
"In order to fill the vacancy, Boss Sheng has to sell off his property."
Song Yao thought about it and realized that this was really what happened.
"Even if he wants to default on his debt, I'm afraid Mrs. An won't allow it."
She giggled: "I wonder if my father has a soul in heaven and knows that his family property has gone round and round, but it still fell into my hands. Will he be angry enough to survive?"
As he smiled, tears began to form in his eyes.
"Forget it, I don't want my hands dirty even if I take those things from him."
"Don't look back. My father has a spirit under the spring. He was really angry and came to life, and his ghost haunted me."
"As long as I buy Yuewen Embroidery Factory back, I will be satisfied."
Song Yao looked sad: "After all, it was my mother's hard work, her love for her daughter, and the dowry she wanted to leave to me."
Jiang Anning didn't know how to comfort the talent, so she just drank.
She also missed her mother a little.
Song Yao only felt sad for a moment, then regained his composure, and greeted people warmly: "Don't think about that anymore, come, eat meat, eat meat, Dong Laishun's mutton hot pot, the best thing about it is this mutton, it is cooked with clear soup , and there is no smell at all.”
"Okay."
Jiang Anning also put aside those sad emotions: "Eat meat."
The two of them happily ate for most of an hour, but they couldn't bear it any longer, so they were willing to put down their chopsticks.
"No, I really can't eat anymore."
Song Yao looked outside the private room, and there were only a few tables of people left in twos and threes: "It's getting late, I guess the store is about to close."
She rubbed her bulging belly: "But after eating so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I go back."
Jiang Anning was wiping her mouth quietly when Song Yao suddenly came over mysteriously.
She lay close to the person's ear and lowered her voice: "An Ning, how about I take you to a flower bar?"
"What?"
Jiang Anning looked at the person with shock and disbelief.
Song Yao looked a little embarrassed: "Hey, if you don't want to go, then you won't go. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Let me declare it first!"
Song Yao was worried that Jiang Anning would think she was deviant, so he hurriedly emphasized: "I have never been to that kind of place before!"
"Yes, yes, I believe in you, Sister Song."
Jiang Anning laughed and made a sound.
"What, you look like this, you don't believe me at all."
Song Yao pouted, quite like a little girl.
Jiang Anning laughed even louder.
Song Yao was so angry that he went up and started fooling around with others.
Thinking of how the two of them were messing around in the backyard of the embroidery workshop, Jiang Anning hurriedly stood up: "Sister Song, no!"
"It's outside!"
"Would you like to go out to meet people later?"
Song Yao snorted a few times: "Who told you to laugh at me?" But he didn't do anything again.
Jiang Anning repeatedly cried out: "How can I laugh at you? My sister has really wronged me."
She leaned forward and whispered, "How about we really go?"
Song Yao glared: "You still said you didn't laugh at me!"
"Hey, hey, I'm serious."
Jiang Anning hurriedly avoided the mischievous hands, her expression serious.
Song Yao didn't quite believe it and looked at it again and again: "Really going?"
"Go for it!"
The two looked at each other for a long time, hit it off immediately, and immediately decided to go to the brothel...er, no, to drink flower wine.
Nor...
It should be, look for flowers and willows!
Song Yao was a little happy, she had never been to that place.
The folk customs of this dynasty were open, and women were not restricted from drinking flower wine.
Just...
After all, it is a mixed and filthy place.
In addition, the legacy of the previous dynasty still remains in the bones of many people.
Normally, few women would go.
Song Yao was excited about the unknown land, while Jiang Anning just followed the trend and wanted to see how Wan Niang was doing.
"Don't tell me, this boat is really beautiful with lights on at night."
Song Yao was just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything he saw felt fresh and strange.
But as she approached the boat, she hesitated again.
"An Ning, let's, let's, really go?"
Jiang Anning let out a gasp and laughed: "Sister Song, you're already here. Are you afraid of... the silver pewter gun head?"
"Who, who is scared!"
Song Yao puffed out his chest, and he looked like he was strong and strong.
Jiang Anning suddenly smiled even more cheerfully.
"You..."
Song Yao was about to make trouble when he suddenly heard a sarcastic voice and quickly calmed down.
"Hey, isn't this our boss Song?"
"Why are you interested in coming to this place to have fun today?"
"Boss Song is usually busy with business, doesn't he look down on us wasting our time? Today..."
"Could it be that Chaohuang Embroidery Shop has no business left?"
That mean voice laughed full of yin and yang.
Someone nearby immediately responded: "How come there is no business in Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop? That is a big embroidery workshop that has been rewarded by the Heavenly Family!"
"Hey, it's a big embroidery workshop!"
“I just don’t know how this big embroidery shop could lose Mrs. An’s business?”
Song Yao glared at the person: "Wei Qiuyue, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
"Hey, are you angry because of shame?"
Wei Qiuyue snorted coldly: "If you have a temper, why don't you go and talk to Mrs. An? You go and talk to Sheng Yuewen!"
"It's not me who caused you to lose your business, why are you still talking about it?"
Song Yao rolled his eyes, pulled Jiang Anning and left directly.
Wei Qiuyue felt ignored and immediately jumped up in anger.
"Song Yao, what are you so proud of!"
"On the day when the embroidery girl takes the stage, I will watch how you are trampled under the feet of Yuewen Embroidery Workshop!"
Song Yao had already walked far away, and turned around again.
She suddenly stood in front of Wei Qiuyue, startling him.
"You, what are you going to do?"
