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

Chapter 540: Life is great
People around him started talking, "This girl is so well-raised, is it not too much for someone to ask for 20 taels?"

"What are you talking about? This girl works in Tianxia Embroidery Workshop. Do you know how much a piece of blue feather brocade costs?"

"Just because this girl knows this craft, it can't be a matter of dozens of taels of silver!"

"No, not everyone can enter the world's embroidery studios. There are people with great skills there. People who have learned these skills must be a master in any big embroidery workshop. This old woman is very calculating. My daughter has been raised and learned some craftsmanship, but now I just want to burn down the bridge and leave.”

"Hush! It is said that Tianxia Embroidery Workshop is the property of the human princess, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

The old woman listened to the comments of the people next to her and was still arrogant: "Even if the princess is here, she still has to be reasonable. How can she force other girls not to go home?"

When Huang Siniang heard this, her face suddenly became unhappy: "Let me remind you, no one is forcing you to keep your girl, and not everyone can enter the world's embroidery workshop."

"As I said just now, if you want to redeem the girl, just give her money. I don't want more, so just give her 300 taels!"

"300 taels?" The old woman sat down on the ground and cried, "You can't get this money even if you sell my whole family. Why are you so cruel?"

"Cruel?" Huang Siniang said sarcastically: "If I were cruel, your whole family would not be quarreling with me here right now, but would be serving jail time at the Yamen Gate."

"After all, it was clearly written in black and white back then. Now you are robbing people on the street like this. Even if you bring trouble to the government, I can still speak out."

The girl then cried: "You said you wanted me to repay you for your kindness in raising me, so you sold me alive. Now you actually want to sell me again. How can there be such cruel parents in the world?"

"Since Sister Huang bought my life back, then it will all belong to her from now on. Don't come looking for me again. Just treat me as dead without me as your daughter!"

"Little sister!" Her eldest sister said displeasedly. It was almost the Chinese New Year, so it was really shabby to say this.

At this time, Luo Tongpan's men came over with people patrolling the streets. Seeing the crowd gathering, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What happened? But someone gathered to make trouble?"

Mr. Luo has said that now that the Chinese New Year is coming, the princess attaches great importance to the security of the city, so don't cause trouble and make your face look bad.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in the city is very good, even petty theft is gone. After all, going to the western suburbs to build the city wall is not a good job. Besides, if you have good hands and feet to do things, you will not have to worry about finding work, and you will not be unable to live. I'm going down there to do some poking fun.

The subordinate often went to the embroidery workshop to maintain law and order, so he naturally recognized Huang Siniang. When he saw the old woman and Huang Siniang arguing, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Huang Siniang: "Sister Huang, can you help me?"

When the old woman and the eldest sister saw so many government officials surrounding them, they were immediately frightened and dared not speak.

Huang Siniang looked at the old woman coldly: "These are all adults in the yamen. If you have any dissatisfaction, you may want to talk to them. If I am over 26, I will stop bathing. By then, I will not see anyone or do anything."

When the yamen servant saw Huang Siniang saying this, the smile on his face felt a little off: "What's going on? Madam, are you feeling wronged?"

"Let's go and have a chat with us at the yamen gate!"

The old woman hurriedly shouted: "No, no, nothing!"

As he spoke, he didn't even care about his eldest daughter, and quickly squeezed out of the crowd with his little feet and ran away.

The eldest sister looked at the girl with a bitter expression: "Little sister, do you know that grandma has already accepted the betrothal gift from the Wu family?"

When the girl saw that the old woman had run away, she stood up, stood behind Huang Siniang and said disapprovingly: "Not only did I accept the betrothal gift, I'm afraid I lost all the money in gambling!"

The eldest sister was startled: "If you know this, how can you still be so cruel?" The girl shook her head: "You have to raise a bad gambler. That's your business. Why should I sell myself to pay off the debt?"

"What's more, it's not this time. When my eldest brother runs out of money, my mother-in-law will find a way to trick her home and sell her again. You can be your filial daughter if you like. I am living a very good life now, so I I won’t go back!”

She is now extremely skilled in craftsmanship and has two young apprentices under her. She earns two taels of silver a month. She has food and accommodation in the embroidery workshop and has no place to spend money at all.

Factory Director Xiao Su said that if you want to take the money you save as a dowry to your husband's family when you get married, you can also invest in the factory and get dividends every year if you don't want to.

This life was so comfortable, she had lost her mind, so she would let go of her fairy-like life and go home to be beaten by a madman.

As for getting married, she looked at the government servants who came to patrol every day very well. Sister Su said that if she liked it, she would look back at her. After experiencing this feeling of being able to make her own decisions in everything, she would not do it again. I don’t want to be controlled by others anymore.

The eldest sister looked very complicated after hearing her words. She didn't know what she was thinking and walked out of the crowd blankly. She didn't know who she bumped into along the way.

Huang Siniang couldn't help but said: "It seems that your eldest sister still has some feelings for you. Seeing that you don't want to go back, you are so lost!"

The girl curled her lips and said, "Hurry up and get me. She doesn't feel sorry for me. It's obvious that now that the betrothal gift has been spent, no one can marry me. I don't know that my old lady will force her to marry me."

"What?" Huang Siniang was surprised: "Isn't your eldest sister married?"

But the girl didn't want to care about this: "What's the matter? Ignore her. Let's go home and make dumplings!"

The girl pulled Huang Siniang away. Not long after, Caiyue, who was watching the excitement, came back to report the follow-up development.

"As the girl expected, the old lady knelt down on the roadside and begged her eldest daughter to leave her widower and marry that lunatic from the neighboring village. Tsk! It's really eye-opening!" Caiyue was lying by the window with Jingli. murmur.

She went out for a while and brought many snacks such as candy cakes, fried chestnuts, and crispy peanuts.

The two of them were sitting in the teahouse eating and chatting when Caiyue suddenly asked: "Where is the prince?"

Jing Li replied: "He went back early because he had something to do!"

Caiyue patted her chest and felt relieved. With the prince all the way, she felt uncomfortable everywhere.

"Is there any news about Jiang Yonglong?" Jingli asked, peeling a chestnut.

Jiang Yonglong is the owner of Sihai Gambling House, and Tantai Jing's escape from there must have a lot to do with him.

Caiyue shook her head and said: "This person is well hidden and has not been seen since half a year ago. He must have been placed here by Tantai Jing in the early years."

After eating and drinking, the two of them returned home carrying large and small bags. As soon as they got off the carriage, Jingli saw several carriages parked at the side door, and the faint sound of a woman crying could be heard.

Jing Li asked: "What's going on?"

Caiyue's eyes were evasive and she didn't dare to answer.
