Chapter 47 Ideas
After a violent beating, they were about to drag me back. They happened to meet Mr. Shen. He came forward to stop them to reason and want them to let me go. But how could they send the fat they got out again? So they quarreled with Mr. Shen on the street, which made everyone gather around. There were a lot of people on the street. They were at a loss, so they didn't dare to do anything, so they froze there. It was not until you came and beat them away that I got out of the tiger's mouth.
Ye Ziyun said angrily after hearing this, "Why is your stepmother like this? She is also a person with children. Isn't she afraid that there will be retribution in the future if she does this? And your father is really soft-hearted. He is so confused about his daughter's lifelong happiness. Fortunately, he is still a private school teacher. I really don't know where he has learned those etiquette and shames.
Qingbi looked calm and said lightly, "I can't blame him. He was also confused for a while. After all, he was still very good to me when my mother was alive. I didn't hate him at all, but I won't see him again in the future. Without me, he doesn't have to be embarrassed. In the future, he will be with his stepmother and his little brother. Let's live a peaceful life together."
Ye Ziyun asked her with a sympathetic face, "So what are you going to do in the future?"
smiled and Qingbi said confidently, "When I recover from my injury, I will find a steady job to do, and then make money to support myself and repay your life-saving benefactors."
Ye Ziyun looked at her and said seriously, "It doesn't matter whether you repay or not. Now the most important thing is that you are a girl. What kind of thing to do you want to do outside?"
"I have also seriously thought about it these days. There are really not many things that are suitable for a girl. If it really doesn't work, I will really go to a restaurant and wash the dishes. I will do it for a while first. When I save enough money, I will buy some thread, silk cloth and so on, and do some needlework to sell. My mother's embroidery is good. Although I haven't done my best, I can still do some gadgets such as money bags and sachets. At that time, I will rent a stall. I can sell and embroider at the same time. It's great to kill two birds with one stone.
"Isn't it good for you, a girl, to show up outside and do business? You will get married in the future. If you let your mother-in-law know that you will appear outside, I'm afraid it will be bad for you.
"What can I do? Anyway, I won't marry into a rich family in my life. I don't pay so much attention to it. At that time, there will be a suitable one. Just find an honest farmer to marry. If you really can't meet him, you won't get married for the rest of your life. When I'm old, I will donate some money and go to the temple to practice. What are you afraid of?
"You think it's quite far, but I don't know if it will work."
"Let's plan this first. Who knows what will happen in the future? We can only calculate it step by step."
Ye Ziyun comforted her: "You take good care of yourself first. Don't worry about those things. I'll ask you what you're looking for. Maybe it can help you find the right one."
Qingbi quickly stopped her from saying, "I'm very worried about living here and drinking for nothing now. I really don't want Miss to bother about my affairs anymore."
"It's okay. Anyway, I'm idle. Don't worry. I'll ask for you when I have time. Well, let's not talk about it. I've been quarreling with you for so long that you can't rest. I'm leaving. You can slowly recover. Don't worry. I'll come to chat with you when I have time.
"As long as the young lady doesn't dislike it, Qingbi is willing to chat with the young lady."
"Lie down. Don't be polite to me. I'm leaving."
Yuan Er has been sending Ye Ziyun to the door of the chrysanthemum courtyard. She watched them go far away before returning to the house. She sat by the bed and looked at the thoughtful Qingbi and said, "I heard from the servants in the yard that our son likes this Miss Ye very much. I can't wait to offer her as a baby every day. Since she said she wanted to ask for you, in fact, it's just Her words are absolutely stable. Our son will definitely help you find a decent thing to do.
Qingbi looked at Yuan'er and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you again. When I get better, I'll go out and look for it myself."
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Yuaner had to persuade her: "Miss Ye was right just now. No matter what, you have to take care of your injuries at ease. It's not good for you to worry so much every day."
Qingbi immediately cleaned up her mood and said with a bright smile, "Yuan'er is right. The most important thing now is to heal the injury. Let's talk about it later."
After talking for so long, Yuan'er asked her, "After sitting for so long, do you want me to help you lie down for a while?"
Qingbi waved her hand and said, "Yuan Er, how many times have I told you? Don't treat me as a lady. When I was at home, I had to do things when I was sick. What is this little injury? I'd better do it by myself. You've been tired for so long. Go down and have a rest. I'll call you if I have something to do."
Yuaner didn't insist on it and said to her, "Well, I'll go down first. It's right next to me. Just call me if you need anything."
Qingbi waved her hand to let her down, and then she slowly lay down.
Out of the achrysanthemum courtyard, Ye Ziyun followed Chunlu behind him and said, "I'll go to my mother's place for dinner at noon. You go and tell the kitchen to take mine to Meiyuan."
Chunlu answered "yes" and took a detour.
As soon as she arrived at Meiyuan, Xiaotao, the maid at the door, saw Ye Ziyun coming and saluted her. Before Ye Ziyun could answer, she hurriedly turned around and ran into the yard.
Seeing her so flustered, Xia Wu was about to stop Xiaotao and prepare to teach her a lesson. Ye Ziyun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't care about this."
Xia Wu said unwillingly, "She is so impruly that she is so reckless."
Ye Ziyun had to continue to explain to her, "This is someone else's yard, and the servants are not ours. What are you doing so seriously?"
As she was talking, Mami Zhang greeted her, and Xia Wu stopped her mouth. Mother Zhang said Wanfu to Ye Ziyun with a smile and asked her, "I heard from the maid of the porter that the young lady is coming. I don't believe it. When I came here, it turned out to be true. The young lady came here at this hour. Did she come to accompany my wife to eat?"
Mother Zhang has been following her mother. She has been watching Ye Ziyun grow up since she was a child, so Ye Ziyun still respects her and smiles at her. Ye Ziyun asked her, "I have specially eaten with my mother. What is my mother doing? Hasn't she already eaten?"
"Madam hasn't eaten yet."
While talking, she entered the room. The princess was sitting at the table and looking at the embroidery on a silk handkerchief with Mother Li. When she saw Ye Ziyun coming in, she waved her hand to let Mother Li put it away and asked Ye Ziyun, "Why did you come here at this hour?" If you want to accompany me for dinner, ask someone to tell me. I'll just go there. Why are you running here? It's not cost-effective to run around when you're tired.
Ye Ziyun pouted and sat down beside the princess and said, "Mama Zhang asked me like this just now. You also said so. I took the initiative to come to have a meal with you, which surprised everyone like this. Yun'er is really unfilial. It seems that I will often come to accompany you in the future."
The princess smiled and said, "You are really a child. Who said that you are not filial? Didn't Mother Zhang feel sorry for you to ask like this, but asked you wrong?"
Ye Ziyun acted coquettishly to his mother: "I dare not, but I will really come to accompany you often in the future, okay?"
The princess smiled happily: "As long as you don't get tired, you can do whatever you want."
Chunlu led the people in the kitchen to prepare the meal. After serving his wife and Ye Ziyun, she served tea. When the servants finished cleaning up, the mother and daughter sat in the outer room and chatted.
Ye Ziyun asked the princess with a cup, "Mother, do you remember the Qingbi girl we saved the other day?"
The princess looked at her and asked her, "Remember, what's wrong?"
Ye Ziyun said shyly, "Actually, I was afraid that you would be angry and didn't dare to say it just now. I went to Mr. Fan and her before I came to you today, went to ask Mr. Fan about her situation, and chatted with Qingbi for a while before I came to you."
The princess smiled and said, "This child, what's the embarrassment? There's nothing wrong with you to save him and go and have a look. It's not enough to save someone back and leave him there without asking, right? I won't be jealous of this kind of jealousy, am I?"
Ye Ziyun whispered, "I'm afraid that you said that I didn't come to see you sincerely at all, and I took so many people with me."
The princess nodded her head and said, "How does your little brain grow? I don't know which one you follow. Why do you think so much?"
Ye Ziyun said with a smile, "I'm your own. Which one do you think you look like? Anyway, it's either your father or you.
The princess was scruffed at her: "There is no formal shape."
Ye Ziyun put away his smile and said to the princess seriously, "Mother, I talked to the Qingbi girl for a while and asked her background. It seems that she is quite pitiful. I want to help her."
The princess asked her, "I haven't had time to ask you since I was rescued. What's wrong with her?"
Ye Ziyun told his mother about Qingbi's background, and finally said with some indignation, "How can there be such a person in the world who is not abused like this? It's really abominable!"
The princess also sympathized with Qingbi when she heard Ye Ziyun's story, so she asked her, "Her stepmother is quite hateful, but it is difficult for Qingbi to make a living outside alone, just like what you met the other day. If it weren't for good-hearted people, she might have been taken into the brothel. This life is all over."
Ye Ziyun nodded in favor and said, "Yes, so I want to help her. It must be very difficult for her to be a girl to stay at home. I originally wanted her to stay in this other courtyard, but today, Brother Li didn't see anyone early in the morning, and even Housekeeper Yang was not there. I don't know who to talk to."
"I just heard that you said that she can read. This is very rare. In fact, it's okay to leave her with you. Doesn't Ze'er often come to pester you? At that time, she will bring her back to the house. In the future, Qingbi will take Ze'er to play. She is much better than those girl in the house who play with Ze'er all day long but can't read."
"Yes, why didn't I think of it? This method is good. I'll tell her later, let her recover from her wounds at ease, and go to Linxue Pavilion when she is well."
"This child, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, this is just what our mother is talking about here. If you are willing or not, you have to ask Miss Qingbi herself. You don't need to go to this matter in person. Ask Chunlu and ask her opinion later. If she agrees, it's best. If she doesn't agree, it's not too late to ask Mr. Li to find a job for her. With Mr. Li's connections, this is not a big deal at all. Don't run around all day long. Be careful of your own body.
"I didn't expect this matter to be solved so smoothly. I'm happy."
"You are just soft-hearted and can't see that others are not good. However, as the old saying goes, good people are rewarded. Your good deeds are also accumulating blessings for yourself. I hope that the Bodhisattva can bless you in peace.
Ye Ziyun smiled and said, "So it's good for me to do good deeds."
"Okay, stop messing around. You've been out for a while. You haven't drunk the medicine yet. Go back quickly and let Chunlu prepare. Don't delay."
"Then I'll go back. My mother has been with me for so long. I should be tired. Take a break."
"Well, I know. Go back quickly."
