The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 539 Doing New Year’s Goods Together
Jing Li stepped forward and pulled him and said, "I'm really fine. Didn't I tell you that I have secret equipment so I can check myself."

"I checked, and there really aren't any toxins!"

Tantai Lin said to her: "I have never told you about him, because in order to learn the art of poison, he actually committed himself to a famous old poisoner in the world. It is really unspeakable. I don't want to dirty your ears by saying this. .”

Jing Li said calmly: "Don't underestimate my ability to bear it. The ugliness of human nature I have seen is something you have never heard of."

When an existential crisis strikes, all human nature will be revealed. Is there anything that humans can't do?

"Don't rush to find Doctor Shen. Anyway, the New Year is in a few days. If the mountain road is not too difficult, he will definitely go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year." Jing Li advised.

"Come with me tomorrow to do the New Year shopping!"

The heavy snow was falling, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an City for celebrating the New Year at all. The streets were full of people, giving a lively and prosperous atmosphere.

Jing Li dragged Tantai Lin and squeezed into the crowd, buying some snacks from time to time. She said it was for the New Year, but in fact, Uncle Fang had already prepared it.

It was the first time that Tantai Lin walked among the crowd without a mask, and she felt quite uncomfortable. However, seeing the excited faces of the people around her did not displease her.

Caiyue came over excitedly with a bunch of candied haws on a stick: "Madam, this is very delicious, sour and sweet, and the one with ice residue is so refreshing!"

"Let me try it!" Jing Li bit off a fruit in one bite, narrowed her eyes with a look of enjoyment, and turned to hand it to Tantai Lin: "Try it, it tastes really good!"

Tantai Lin had always been indifferent to these things, but he couldn't resist his wife's expectant look on her face, so she reluctantly took a bite, then turned around and spit it out with a sour grin. It was so sour that Ah Li actually said it was delicious.

Caiyue suddenly nuzzled at Jingli: "Madam, look!"

Following the direction Cai Yue pointed, Jing Li saw Song Qingyu, and the Wei sisters were following him.

Wei Jun held his arm and smiled happily without knowing what he was talking about.

Wei Lin, who was following behind the two of them, had a blank expression on her face. The woman, who was less than ten years old, had faint fishtails in the corners of her eyes, and her face became more and more rigid.

Jing Li was surprised. It had only been about half a year since she last saw Wei Lin. How could this girl have aged like this?

When Song Qingyu raised his head, he also saw Jingli and the others. His expression suddenly became unnatural, and he brought his wife and concubines forward to greet them.

Wei Jun smiled and said to Jin Li: "Greetings to Madam, I wish Madam a happy New Year in advance!"

Jing Li nodded slightly and her eyes fell on Wei Lin, who had a blank look on her face. In the past, this big girl would not have gone shopping like this, especially with her sister who was her concubine. She must have been feeling aggrieved by this.

Song Qingyu felt a little startled when he looked at Jing Li. The bright red cloak and a ring of white fur around her neck contrasted with a small face that was extremely bright. Even the warm sun in winter was not as bright as the smile on her face.

Wei Jun smiled and pinched Song Qingyu without leaving any trace.

When Song Qingyu came back to his senses, he realized that King Changling opposite him was looking at him with a stormy look. The rolling look in his eyes made him feel cold. He didn't dare to take another look and left in a hurry with his wife and concubines. .

Caiyue smiled jokingly: "This person who was once the most elegant is now following a concubine. I don't know how I feel about it!"

Tantai Lin looked away, put away the bloodthirsty murderous intent in his eyes, tugged the brim of his hat to Jing Li, and half-complained: "It's windy and snowy today, I should have brought a curtain out!"

Jing Li looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You are so petty, it's obviously because you don't want your wife to be seen in public." The two of them were talking when they saw a commotion in front of them, and they didn't know what happened. A group of people gathered around to watch the excitement. , making the already crowded streets even more blocked.

Caiyue had an active temper and quickly ran forward to investigate.

"Madam, it's Huang Siniang!" Caiyue and Jingli whispered: "There is a female worker in the Wang family yard who is unwilling to go home, and now her parents are forcing her to go home and get married."

Jing Li frowned slightly: "Look, can Huang Siniang handle it?"

Caiyue replied: "I think there should be no problem."

After all, Huang Siniang has been working in the factory for nearly two years. Although Xiao Su has the final say in the factory, she is in charge of the technical aspects. She has developed her momentum in the past two years.

Tantai Lin pulled Jingli to the teahouse opposite. The second-floor window of the teahouse faced the crowd, and he could clearly see every move of the people below.

"Go back here. A girl's family has been showing off all day long. Do you want the face of my old Wang family?" An old woman held on to the girl with all her strength.

The girl hugged Huang Siniang's legs tightly and said, "I won't go back with you. You wanted to sell me back then, but it was Sister Huang who paid for me. Now I am hers whether I live or die, and I have nothing to do with you." What does it have to do with it?"

An older woman next to him advised: "Little sister, after all, your parents have a child and a baby, how can you say that you don't recognize them if you don't recognize them?"

Then she said to Huang Siniang: "Sister, you are also born and raised by your parents. You can't bear to see other people's flesh and blood separated, right?"

Huang Siniang didn't talk nonsense: "What the eldest sister said, was it me who forced your family to sell girls?"

"Well, let's stop talking nonsense. I spent five taels of silver to buy this girl. Now you want to take her back, it's not impossible."

The girl hurriedly said: "Sister Huang, I can't go back. They will definitely marry me to a lunatic from the neighboring village. That lunatic has beaten people to death."

She turned around and scolded her eldest sister: "They married you to that widower. He beat his wife to death, and now he beats and scolds you all the time. If you want to live like this, go there alone. I Why should I be like you!"

There was bitterness on her eldest sister's face, but she forced a smile and persuaded her: "Whose woman doesn't live like this? You are different. The New Year is coming soon, so don't make such a fuss again."

The old woman said to Huang Siniang: "Don't you want money? I will pay it back to you now and give me my daughter's deed of sale!"

Huang Siniang said coldly: "Auntie, you have to understand that your girl has been eating and drinking from me for the past two years, and I have to teach her skills. Look at this girl."

"Back then I was skinny and skinny, with no flesh on my arms except for a layer of skin. Now that I've been raised fair and clean, you still give me five taels of silver. Do you think this is appropriate?"

The old woman was obviously cowering: "Then how much do you think it will cost?"

Huang Siniang said to the girl, "Tell your mother-in-law and sister, what do you eat three meals a day and what do you wear?"

When the girl saw Huang Siniang talking like this, she immediately felt confident: "We eat steamed buns and white flour steamed buns in the morning, one meat and one vegetarian at noon, noodles or meat porridge in the evening, and three sets of clothes for each season, not to mention various welfare gifts for festivals. "

When the people around heard this, they thought the conditions were too good, and many people were tempted to send the girl over.

Huang Siniang said to the old woman: "Auntie, tell me, I have lived so well these past two years, how much should I pay?"
