The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 7 The Smiley Threat
Want to discuss something?

Jing Se was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lianqiu, "What did she say?"

Lianqiu shook her head, lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, "I didn't say anything."

At the end, Lianqiu took a look at Haohao, and said: "Miss, please go in quickly, the servant will take care of the young master."

Jing Se pulled Haohao behind her, avoiding Lianqiu's tugging, and said quietly: "No one can take care of him better than me."

Lianqiu's eyes flickered slightly, but there was a stiff smile on his face, "Missy is right."

Jingse didn't delay any longer, and took Haohao to the East Room of the Nuan Pavilion.

When I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting inside, with a silver hollowed-out temple hairpin on her head, wearing a rosin-colored double-breasted long dress, covered with a lotus-blue bijia, and a pair of gold bracelets on her wrists, which occasionally collided with cups and cups. Make a crisp sound.

This person belonged to Mrs. Deng's most useful daughter-in-law, Zhao Quan's family.

Glancing at the sample picture of the interstitial screen placed on the table, Jingse looked away calmly, walked in slowly, with a smile on her face, "I took Haohao to the town to do some errands today, and let Zhao's mother Awaited."

Hearing the sound, the whole Zhao family hurriedly stood up, walked a few steps towards Jingse, with a gentle smile on their faces, "Madam, don't say that, this year our old lady's [-]th birthday, I have to trouble you Fan, this time, the old lady really has something to explain, so let me wait until the lady, and talk to you in person."

Except for the maids and women in this house, no one outside knows Jing Se's identity at all, they just call her "madam" symbolically.

When embroidering things for Deng's mansion, it was Zhao's mother who came to hand over things. Therefore, Jing Se is no stranger to Zhao's family, but she doesn't have a good impression of them. After all, Zhao's mother has always come to those prices in person. Talking about it, it was Zhao's mother who sent it over when the money was paid.

Basically, Jing Se doesn't need to step out of the house, she only needs to take over the work and embroider the finished product, and wait for Mother Zhao to come and pick it up.

Therefore, Jing Se is [-]% sure that Zhao's mother, as the middleman, must have corrupted a lot of silver in this process.

For example, for the screen insertion this time, Mrs. Deng requested double-sided embroidery. Double-sided embroidery is much more difficult than ordinary embroidery. It is large in size and time-consuming. It cannot be embroidered without more than a month.For such a time-consuming and laborious work, Zhao's family only paid five taels of silver in the end.

Jingse sneered in her heart.

If this business hadn't been negotiated by the original owner, she would definitely not agree.

Instead of hurting her eyes day and night with needles and threads for five taels of silver, she might as well take Haohao up the mountain to collect herbs and sell them to the doctor at the pharmacy.

Collecting herbs is much faster than getting money from embroidery and inserting screens!

With a faint smile on her face, Jing Se pretended to look at the screen insert sample on the table, pretending to be puzzled, "Could it be that Mrs. Deng is worried, so she asked Mother Zhao to explain to me in person that I can't make any mistakes?"

The corners of Zhao's mother's mouth curled up, and her tone became more and more heated, "Where is the lady's superb double-sided embroidery, the old lady will naturally not question it. When I came, the old lady was still boasting! The old lady misses you I have worked so hard for the Deng Mansion for so long, so this time, on my [-]th birthday, I specially asked my wife to take the young master to a banquet."

Upon hearing this, Jing Se frowned imperceptibly.

There are hundreds of people in Deng's house, she is just a small embroiderer who rarely shows up outside these hundreds of people, how could the old lady think of her, and specially asked someone to let her know Taking Haohao to a banquet?

Among them, there must be something strange!
Jing Se raised her eyes to look at Zhao's family, and seeing that the woman kept smiling, she became more and more suspicious.

After pondering for a moment, Jing Se said: "Then please tell Madam Zhao to tell the old lady that it will take me almost two months to embroider this screen."

When the whole family of Zhao heard this, their complexions changed slightly, and they stammered, "Ma'am, you really know how to joke, we previously agreed to embroider it within [-] days, and the old lady's [-]th birthday is just one month away." , After inserting the screen and embroidering it, I have to take it back and embed it between the screen base and the glass to meet the occasion, all these will take time, if it is two months, it will be...too long."

Jing Se smiled lightly, "Actually, I was rushing day and night, and I was able to embroider the screen within [-] days." Pointing to the bandaged wound on her forehead, Jing Se said again: "But you have also seen that I was injured, and I have not been feeling well for the past two days. If there is any problem due to rushing to work, from now on, the old lady may never see my double-sided embroidery again."

Jing Se's words were neither salty nor bland, but after careful scrutiny, it was not difficult to see that there was a sense of threat in them.

Zhao's family has been with Mrs. Deng since they were young, and it's easy to watch her words and demeanor. After hearing this, she understood a little bit, and immediately put on a worried expression, "Oh, look at me, I'm busy talking about business. , didn’t see the wound on Madam’s forehead, it doesn’t matter, but did you ask the doctor to see it?”

Jing Se supported her forehead and her cheeks with a headache, "I did hire a doctor this morning, but the consultation fee is too high. I worked hard for a month to barely make enough for the consultation, medicine and follow-up treatment. I am not willing, so The doctor was sent back again."

Zhao's family choked for a moment, their faces changing uncertainly.

Mrs. Deng originally gave 30 taels of silver to Jing Se's embroidered screen, but Zhao Quanji's family had a lot of dealings with Jing Se, and she knew very well that Jing Se was just a poor and poor family, and even servants could bully her at will. Master, so I was greedy for the remaining 25 taels, and only negotiated five taels of silver for Jing Se, and the five taels of silver had to wait for the screen to be embroidered before giving it to her, without paying any deposit in advance.

In her impression, Jing Se has always been a weak-tempered person, even though she knew that five taels of silver could not be used to embroider a screen, she did not dare to retaliate, but today she turned a corner and expressed her dissatisfaction in her heart, which made her feel sad. Zhao's family was a little puzzled.

Could it be that this woman noticed something?
Feeling puzzled, Zhao's family soon lost their smiles, "Madam, please don't worry, when I return to the mansion, I will immediately ask the old lady to let the mansion doctor who specializes in treating her come to treat you. Day, you just rest and insert the screen, you can embroider it after you recover, anyway, the old lady's birthday is still more than a month away, so there is still time."

Seeing that Zhao's family deliberately avoided money, Jing Se couldn't help curling her lips coldly, her eyes were serious, "Mother Zhao, I agreed to give you five taels of silver when the embroidery is completed, so can you pay first?"

Since Zhao's family has been greedy for the money given by the old lady, it is naturally impossible for her to spit it out on her own initiative.Jing Se didn't expect her to spit it out, but it's better to get the five taels of silver that she deserves as soon as possible, so as not to cause troubles, and then she won't get a single copper coin.

Zhao's family was stunned for a moment, and coughed twice, "Ma'am, didn't we all pay for the goods and deliver the goods before? This screen has not been embroidered yet..."

Jing Se smiled, "The mountain road leading from Deng's house to me is rugged, and Mother Zhao is very old. If she accidentally falls off the cliff and dies halfway, who would know that you still owe me five taels of silver?"
