Chapter 117 Yuan Ji Tailor
Although both of them tried not to think about the bad, they couldn't help thinking about the bad. The escort team came all the way to the Shuntianfu government office. After all, the two were still worried and wanted to confirm.
"This bad brother, can I ask you a question?" Yuexiang stopped an official and gave him a few pieces of silver with a smile.
The official glanced left and right, quickly clasped the scattered silver in the palm of his hand and hid it in his sleeve. "What's the matter? Ask, I don't have so much time to talk to you!"
Mei Xinger rolled her eyes and received the silver so horizontally. Sure enough, the officials were all black-hearted wolves.
Yuexiang quietly pulled her and asked with a smile, "Brother, is there any second young lady of the Lin family among the burned prisoners?"
"Why are you asking this?" The official stared at her suspiciously.
"I knew him before, so I couldn't help but want to inquire about it." Yuexiang said it cautiously.
The official's face sank, "Hmm, he's dead. What else are you inquire about? It's ridiculous. In order to escort such a group of garbage, we suffered and had to pay their lives in the end. Don't ask. Go quickly. Who knows who is burned to death? Who cares who they are..."
"You..." Mei Xinger couldn't help but want to get angry when she heard what he said.
Yuexiang was afraid of causing trouble and hurriedly pulled her away.
"What is it? How dare you say 'a bunch of garbage'? I think he is worse than garbage!"
"Okay, okay, don't scold me. The world is as black as a crow." Yuexiang persuaded her with a worried face, "I spent several taels of silver, but I haven't asked about the young lady. What should I do?"
Mei Xinger restrained her anger and became worried. If she couldn't confirm that Hyman was safe, I'm afraid neither of them would be able to sleep tonight.
"It's all Mr. Yi's fault. He said he would send us to find a young lady. He has been procrastinating. Recently, he hasn't even seen anyone. I think he is just perfunctory..."
"Yes, Mr. Yi!" When she complained like this, she gave Yuexiang a revelation and immediately said, "Mei Xinger, let's go to Yifu to ask."
Mei Xinger was a little hesitant, "Isn't Mr. Yi likely to know? If he had known, he would have told us..."
"Didn't you hear what the aunt said? It was Prime Minister Yi who exposed those officials. Isn't that Mr. Yi's father? Since he exposed it, he must know who the prisoners were burned to death. Let's ask!"
"Hmm!" Mei Xinger nodded, and the two of them stopped a pulling carriage and went straight to Yi's house.
"Are you looking for my young master?" When the gatekeeper heard them say they were looking for Yi Yun, his face was embarrassed. "The young master hasn't come back from going out for business, and we haven't seen him for a long time!"
Hearing this, Yuexiang looked at Mei Xinger uneasily, "So... what did Mr. Yi do?"
"Well, I don't know. What is the young master going to do? How can he talk to our servants?
Yuexiang bit her lip, "Then... could you please inform us? We want to see Mr. Yi, and Mrs. Yi can also do it!"
"See my master and wife?" Ding was a little surprised by their feeling of finding the young and the old. He hesitated for a moment and went in to inform them. After a while, he turned around and came back with a much more modest attitude than just now. "Two girls, my wife is invited!"
When Mrs. Yi heard that the two girls were coming, she guessed that it was Yuexiang and Mei Xing'er, and also guessed their purpose. Although he is not familiar with Hyman, it can be seen that the two maids are very loyal to her.
"Mrs. Yi, you must know, right? Who are the prisoners who burned to death?" Yuexiang looked at Mrs. Yi nervously and stammed a little, "There shouldn't be my house in there...my lady, right?"
Sure enough, she came to ask this. Mrs. Yi couldn't bear to look at them, but she couldn't lie. Sooner or later, they would know.
"My condolences and change!" She sighed.
Mei Xing'er's eyes widened, "My condolences? What do you mean by mourning? Miss, is she..."
"The sea girl is in that group of female criminals!" Mrs. Yi said slowly.
Yuexiang's face was bloodless for a moment. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Yuexiang..." Mei Xinger grabbed her and held her, so she didn't let her fall to the ground.
Mrs. Yi hurriedly called the maid and helped Yuexiang to the nearby room to rest.
"Alas, evil!" She sighed long. When the maid heard the news, she didn't know how hard it was. Thinking about this, I feel sad again.
As soon as the sky lit, most people were still immersed in their dreams. The streets and alleys were lonely, and the door of Yuanji Silk Village in the east city of Huaisang rang.
"Here, here we are, who? So early?" A gray-haired uncle came out of the room in his clothes, muttered and opened the door, and saw two maids in red standing outside the door.
"Uncle Yuan, where is Miss Xia?" The two maids couldn't wait to ask, "Is my lady's wedding dress ready?" Today is the day to marry, and my daughter can't wait..."
Old Yuan looked inside with some embarrassment and said, "It's useless for you to urge. It's not early for you to make wedding clothes. You just came to do it yesterday. How can you do it so quickly?"
"Who knew that there would be a sudden fire and burn the lady's wedding dress? There's nothing we can do. Besides, there should be no problem with Miss Xia's words, right?
Lao Yuan sighed helplessly, "Even if Miss Xia is skillful, it is impossible..."
"Uncle Yuan, Miss Lan's wedding dress is ready. You can register!" As he spoke, as soon as the curtain inside was raised, Hyman came out with a fiery red burden and said with a smile.
"What? Did you really do it overnight? Lao Yuan was shocked.
The two maids were even more overjoyed and ran over and bowed several times to Heyman, "Thank you, Miss Xia, thank you, Miss Xia!"
"Let's have a look, what are you dissatisfied with? There is still some time to change!" Hyman handed the burden to them.
The two maids took over, untied the burden, unfolded their wedding clothes, and suddenly their eyes glowed, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
"Because I didn't have time to embroider the pattern, I decorated it with silver and hollow patterns to make patterns, and the fringe was also mixed with gold thread, so that it would not look too cold!" Hyman explained to them with a smile.
"It's not cold, it's not cold at all. It's so beautiful. My lady must be so happy to see it!"
Another maid slapped her, "What are you talking about on a happy day?"
The maid who spoke first stuck out her tongue, "I was so happy that I forgot it for a moment. But Miss Xia is really awesome. Her clothes are fast and well made. The monthly money will be paid next month, and I will also ask the girl to help me make clothes!"
"Okay, you are welcome to come anytime!" Hyman smiled and reminded them, "If there is nothing dissatisfied, take it back to serve your lady and wear it. Don't miss the auspicious time."
"Of course, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. Anyone will like such a good dress." The two maids happily went back home with their clothes.
Old Yuan took the silver and smiled, "Second young grandma, you are really our living god of wealth!"
"Uncle Yuan, how many times have I told you? Don't call me the second young grandma." Hyman stared at him anxiously.
"Yes, I'm happy and forgot, so call me the shopkeeper!"
"Isn't Yuan Ji's shopkeeper Uncle Yuan? Don't call me the shopkeeper, just call me Miss Xia!" Hyman corrected him.
Uncle Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just a shopkeeper on the surface. Isn't the real shopkeeper you? Master Lin has told me, and I remember it clearly!"
"Uncle Yuan, now that everyone depends on each other, what does it matter who is the shopkeeper?"
"That's right!" Uncle Yuan smiled generously and saw Haiman's tired face. Presumably, in order to make a wedding dress for Miss Basketball, she didn't sleep all night and hurriedly urged her, "Miss Xia, go back to sleep. I'll call you when I'm done!"
Haiman nodded, "Okay!" After a busy night, she was really tired. She got up and came to the backyard. Just as she was about to go back to her room, she heard a tight cough next door.
She frowned slightly, pushed the door in, and saw Shen Qiaoqiao curled up on the kang and coughing breathlessly.
"Are you all right?" Hyman went over and helped her with her back to make her feel a little more comfortable. "Would you like some water?"
Shen Qiaoqiao shook his head, "No, I'm not thirsty. I'll be fine after coughing for a while!" Don't worry about me. Go and have a rest. I've been busy all night!"
"Well, call me if you have something to do." Hyman got up and went out and couldn't help sighing. I don't know when she will get better. The doctor has also seen more than a dozen, and they all said that she is not sick and is a heart disease. Yes, after experiencing such a terrible thing, who can not be sick? Even myself, there is always something horizontal in my heart, and I often wake up in nightmares.
Back to her room, she pulled up a painting on the wall and revealed a niche. I lit three sticks of incense and bowed to the seven wordless cards inside. He sat down at the table again, habitually lifted his hair and looked at the two petal-shaped scars on his forehead. Sure enough, the past will not always pass, and there will always be something left, just like these two indefinable scars!
Even if her name is Xia Ran now, the tailor of Yuan Ji Silk Village, and she is living a new life. She still can't forget the fire and the people who couldn't be rescued from the fire. What's more, I can't forget all kinds of people in the past!
She got up and went to ** to lie down, but she was not sleepy. I don't know what's wrong today. I miss that person very much. Maybe it's because of the wedding dress, and I'm stimulated, right?
She smiled bitterly and simply didn't sleep. Take out the needle and thread from the cabinet, and then sew the unfinished clothes, stitch by stitch, and sew carefully. Although she doesn't know if there is still a chance to wear these clothes for him!
I don't know when I have developed a habit. Every time I miss it, I have to make a dress. There are more than a dozen neatly in the cabinet, moon white, sapphire blue, blue, black, purple. Each one should be very suitable and handsome for him...
