Embroidered golden branches

Chapter 17 Poor

Jiang also smiled, came over and touched her head, with a soft light in his eyes, and said warmly: "I didn't expect that Sangsang had such a skill. I must have suffered a lot before coming here. What happened today was Ling If Yin is fooling around, I will punish her. You can go back and rest!"

Sang Sang accepted it as soon as she got it, and didn't bother much. She just nodded obediently.

Then she led Luzhi and the two back to the yard. She had already made a lot of money today, so naturally she wouldn't do anything else.

However, the landlady asked her to get more fabric when she left. She had to work quickly and couldn't waste time here.

So, Sangsang went to Wei Cheng to study during the day, and made and dyeed cloth late at night when he had nothing to do. Everything went on step by step.

After hearing that the guard Ling Yin was punished with copying books and had not come to trouble her for several days, Sangsang also calmed down for a rare moment.

On this day, she was sharpening ink for Wei Cheng as usual, but suddenly she heard him ask, "Why do you want to make money by yourself?"

Although Wei Cheng didn't deliberately embarrass her in the past few days, Sangsang always had a limit on him in her heart. What's more, how could she rashly say that she wanted to make money and escape from here?
Sangsang paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "With money, you can buy charcoal fire by yourself without being exposed to the cold, you can buy beautiful jewelry by yourself without hesitation, you can buy rouge and gouache..."

She talked for a long time, and Wei Cheng also looked down at her for a long time.

It turns out, does she like these things?
But these things are readily available to the ladies in the house, and they are never afraid of being cold without charcoal fire. Thinking of what happened before, Wei Cheng looked at her with inexplicable pity in his eyes.

"I know." His tone was calm, and there was no joy in it. Sangsang just thought that he was confused and maybe he was testing her.

"You go down first!"

Wei Cheng suddenly spoke again, and Sangsang was stunned for a moment. Today ended much earlier than usual. She could go back and do her own things earlier. Thinking about it, her eyes were filled with joy calmly.

"Farewell."

With that said, Sangsang walked out of the room. Wei Cheng put down the pen in his hand and walked to the door. He saw her jumping up and down like a lively and cute little rabbit from a distance, and there was a feeling in his heart. Ripples, her words just now suddenly echoed in her mind.

Uncontrollably, he walked towards Mrs. Wei's room...

At that time, Wei Lingyin had just finished copying the book she was punished for. She was full of resentment. She twisted her wrist and felt a pain. She called the maid who had been close to her before and asked hurriedly: "You have been looking at that girl these days. ,How's it going?"

The maid told Sangsang's schedule for the past few days in detail.

It's nothing out of the ordinary.

But this was the case, and Wei Lingyin became more and more dissatisfied. Ever since she came back last time, she always felt that she had been tricked, and she always choked in her heart, unable to swallow it no matter what.

"This damn girl..."

Wei Lingyin thought for a while, looked at the fabric he bought last time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, clapped his hands, and said instantly: "I have it!"

She gave the maid a few instructions and then went back to her room. However, she never came out again.

When the news came again, it was the personal maid who ran to Sangsang's yard crying and fussing. Sometimes she overturned the cloth she had hung to dry, and sometimes she tore the clothes she had made.Sangsang's yard was in a mess.

"Miss Cousin, why do you want to harm my young lady? After all, my young lady is also your sister!" The personal maid cried.

Sang Sang quickly rushed out of the room after hearing the sound, and saw the miserable situation in the courtyard at a glance. For a moment, her heart felt like it had been gouged out, and she was bleeding with pain. Everything in the courtyard belonged to her. What a painstaking effort!
She angrily grabbed the maid and asked coldly, "What do you mean? I have never set foot in your lady's yard in recent days, so why should I harm her?"

The maid was full of runny noses and tears. Seeing Sangsang showing a fierce attitude that she had never seen before, she paused for a moment and then said hurriedly, "There is something wrong with the cloth you dyed, it must be some dirty stuff." , my young lady wore these cloth clothes, and she got red rash all over her body, and she couldn’t even leave the door."

"Dirty cloth? Since you said so, do you dare to follow me to the old lady?"

Sangsang didn't show any intention of backing down. The maid was probably just sent to make a scene, but she never thought that she would actually cause trouble in front of the old lady. She was momentarily confused.

But before she could recover, Sangsang had already pulled her to the old lady's yard. Seeing this, the maid had to bite the bullet and the two of them knelt down in front of the old lady.

The maid immediately complained first, crying and telling the story. Sang Sang obviously dragged her here, but she remained silent at this time, with her head hanging down, not knowing what she was looking at.

The old lady frowned and looked at the two people in front of her. This time she did not ask questions rashly. Instead, she softened her voice and asked, "Sang Sang, what's going on?"

When her name was called, Sangsang made a slight movement. She slowly raised her drooped head. Her apricot eyes were filled with tears. Her cheeks were slightly red. She tightened her clothes with her fingers and said in a tearful voice, "She She said that I was a dirty cloth and had harmed Sister Lingyin."

As she spoke, her cries turned into hard-to-conceal choked sobs, "But, I also wear those cloth clothes, and so do you, old lady, I just..."

She spoke so pitifully that it was difficult not to feel pity.

"I just want to have beautiful clothes like my sisters. I don't have much money, so I want to make my own, but I didn't expect..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears. The maids beside her were startled. Looking at her series of actions, the maid who was supposed to be crying was instantly stunned.

Seeing this, the old lady suddenly remembered that Wei Cheng had come to her place before and wanted to give some jewelry to Sangsang. For a moment, her mood was extremely complicated and she glanced at the maid.

Then he said: "It's not easy for Sangsang to come here. Your young lady must be allergic to something else. Go back and ask a doctor to take a look."

The maid instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the old lady didn't blame him, otherwise she might not be able to escape.

Sang Sang secretly felt cold in her heart. She had already guessed such an ending, and it was not surprising. She was still an outsider to the old lady.

However, she was pretending to be aggrieved this time just to seek some benefits for herself. She didn't believe that the old lady would not react to this.

If she gets something in the name of the old lady, she will have a place in the house in the future, so she doesn't have to be so passive. Moreover, she doesn't care about it, which makes the old lady feel that she owes her.

Sure enough, the next second she heard the old lady looking at her with a smile and saying: "Sangsang, come here quickly, I have something for you."
