  Chapter 95: Poor and White (Part 2)

  It turned out that Qiu San Niang had designed to let Qiu Wu have a crush on Bai He, and then go to Zhang's side to propose marriage. Either way, the two daughters would each get one of the sons, or neither would get any. This was her setup in her plan.

  Poor Baihe, or rather, unlucky Baihe? Mozi sighed, "Baihe, you really shouldn't have said that you'd help me. What if Madam changes her mind? Then we'll both be in trouble."

  "What if something unexpected happens?" Jiang Sanniang was very confident in herself, "If something really unexpected happens, I'll just tear up your contracts and you can be on your own." That was the last resort when she had no other choice, and she would not use it unless necessary. If she did, her loss would be the greatest.

  Deep purple heart clear eyes bright, but she didn't follow Qiu San Niang to the top, only asked the second question, "Miss, why does Ai Lian speak so cleverly? Openly and secretly saying that I am more powerful and wise than Bai He, with the intention of scaring away Madam and Fourth Nai Nai."

  "I taught her to say that." Qiu Sanniang's expression turned cold, "After what happened to her, who wouldn't keep their distance? Only I went to find a doctor and spent money on medicine for her. She'll definitely be kicked out anyway, so before she goes, let her do something for me. Mozi, help me deliver 300 taels of incense oil to Ciniang An, and I'll give you 300 taels of living expenses in return. What do you say?"

  "If Ailian knew that it was the young lady who exposed her and Wu Ye's affair, would she still help the young lady?" She almost miscarried a child and lost half of her life due to severe bleeding. Mozi differed from Qiu San Niang on this point.

  "It wasn't me who exposed it. You should blame Xiao Yi. She took the golden ball you gave her and put it somewhere, but she can't remember where. Who knew that it would end up on someone's beam? It just so happened to fall right under Fourth Grandma's eyes." Qiu San Niang showed no remorse at all. "If we're talking about Ai Lian and my fifth brother's affair, there are more people who know about it than just us few. You can hide from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. My mistake was only that Zhang Shi acted too quickly and ruthlessly. That abortion medicine, I had Xiao Yi ask at the pharmacy, the dosage was normal, two portions, still a miscarriage would have occurred. Can you blame me for this?"

  Yes, it's not Chou San Niang's fault. If anyone is to blame, it's Ai Lian's bad luck? Mo Zi gazed at Chou San Niang, who was now expressionless, at least she wasn't smiling anymore, or else she would have been truly heartless.

  At this time, a small black-clad figure in night attire walked in, saw Mozi and said "I'm back" before reporting to Qiu Sanniang.

  "Ailian and her parents just left from the north gate, her father pulled a large cart. Her mother cried endlessly, Ailian didn't move. I followed Miss's orders, exchanged the silver notes for smaller denominations, waited until they left the house, then threw them into her mother's arms from the rooftop. Look at her mother opening the package, and Ailian saying thank you, before I came back."

  "Well done." Qiu Sanniang yawned, "Everyone has had enough excitement for tonight, Mozi will keep watch, you all go to sleep."

  White lotus led small clothes green chrysanthemum, went down.

  Without washing her face or tidying up, Qiu San Niang was going to sleep? Mo Zi Bai stared with wide eyes.

  "You sympathize with people who have nothing to do with you, why don't you take care of your sisters who are busy for you and stay up late with me?" Jiang San Niang was not sleepy at all. She took out a small box from the trunk, opened the lock, and brushed her hands. Her small golden hands were smiling and beckoning to her, "Come on, Mozi, hand over the account book, water pearl, and the three hundred taels of silver for delivering guests. Don't forget, I won't count the benefits you secretly got, consider it your labor fee."

  Once again proved, the Shim family is loyal and unswerving.

  Grandma had a big bear, 300 taels of silver were handed over, 200 taels were bribed, and a water pearl was given to someone. She still has the hard-earned money from secretly playing with water under the table this time, it's basically just a waste of effort

  Purple ink grinds her teeth. People make money, she also makes money. People earn a full pot and pan, with a dowry of 10,000 taels; She earns two sleeves of clear wind, with a purse of more than 8 taels. Whatever you do, don't tell her that she is destined to make wedding clothes for others.

  "Plum purple? Plum purple?"

  "Huh?" Mozi turned around to look, and was far away from the lady. He was lost in thought, completely forgetting where he was, stifling his anger, and walking with his head down.

  "Sorry, ma'am, I was walking and got anxious." He smiled awkwardly and stood still, waiting for the others to catch up.

  "This girl, your family's daughter is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?" Wei Qiong Yu laughed so hard she couldn't close her mouth, "Don't worry, don't worry, today I will definitely take you away."

  The dark purple is rarely seen with a red face and crimson ears, vaguely hearing the laughter of Wei's wife's maidservants, as well as the low-pitched laughter of men.

  Xiao Er Lang

  Just thinking about it gives her a headache, that guy is also a pain. Although she disguised herself as a man, darkened her skin and even added some ugly birthmarks, however, after being together for a long time, it's hard to guarantee that he won't notice something. After all, eyes are eyes, nose is nose, facial features can't be changed. Therefore, the farther away they are from each other, the better. But currently, she thinks she has been acting naturally and shouldn't be exposed immediately.

  "Making Auntie laugh is not only a joyful thing, but also a lucky one." Right, Xiao Er Lang doesn't like flatterers, rather than having her hide far away, it's better to let him take the initiative to despise and give way.

  "I'm telling you, this purple-haired girl has a mouth as sweet as honey, and I just want to pamper her from the bottom of my heart." Wei Qiong Yu said to her maids, still a zhang away from Zi Yu.

  Mozhu stole a glance and saw Xiao Er Lang turn his head to look at the flowers and trees in the garden, and indeed this plan was feasible. At that time, he felt proud in his heart and turned around to continue leading the way.

  As soon as they entered the Goose Tower, Mozi stepped forward and bowed to the person sitting in the main seat, then turned to Old Master Qiu who was sitting beside him and reported, "Master, this is Madame Ji and her nephews and nieces."

  Xiao Er Lang was in Luozhou, interacting with people as the nephew of Jing Wang Fu's relatives, and referred to Wei Qiong Yu as his aunt. Even the Wei family members were deceived. After all, Wei Qiong Yu had been married to Shangdu for many years, and the second son of Jing Wang Fu was appointed as a young general, rarely staying at home, and no one had seen him.

  Mozi now knew, but also had to pretend not to know, and followed Wei Qiongyu's words to address Xiao Erlang.

  Qiu Lao Ye had been bedridden before and had never met this aunt, so it was the first time they met. He hurriedly got up to greet her, cupped his hands and said, "Hello Auntie, hello nephew."

  "Hello, Uncle." Wei Qiong Yu saw that Old Master Qiu was thin and frail, with sunken eyes and a pale complexion, looking like he was on his deathbed. She thought about how Qiu San Niang had lost her mother at a young age, and now her beloved father wouldn't be around for much longer either, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her. "I came to visit your household earlier, originally wanting to pay my respects to Uncle, but Lady said that Uncle was really not well enough to receive guests, so I gave up. Who would have thought that our two families would have such a wonderful fate, and become relatives? They say that happy events can cure illnesses, and looking at Uncle's complexion, it seems like he'll be fully recovered soon."

  "Auspicious words, auspicious words." Old Master Qiu listened to the good words and smiled, "It's because Third Daughter is filial and made an offering to the Bodhisattva on my behalf, that I've recovered this much."

  "Not bad, San Niang is a filial child. It's said that daughters are close to their parents' hearts, I suppose Master can't bear to part with her." Wei Qiong Yu appreciated San Niang's filial piety very much.

  "What's the use of being reluctant? San Niang is after all a daughter, and she will eventually marry into another family. Can she stay with her old father forever? At my age, I don't know what tomorrow will bring. If my daughter can marry into a good family, I will be at peace. San Niang is going to be married far away, and it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future, so please, Auntie, take good care of this child." Old Master Qiu was truly a loving father to Qiu San Niang.

  "Please be assured, Uncle, I will treat San Niang as my own daughter. Not to mention that we are from the same hometown, but also because I and your wife have grown up together since childhood, like sisters. Your daughter is just like my own daughter." Wei Qiong Yu turned her sympathy into a promise, "Uncle must take good care of yourself, come back in two years, who knows, maybe you'll be holding a grandchild then."

  Qiu Lao Ye's turbid eyes flashed with a hint of light, and that was indeed a good omen.

  Thanks to this treatment, Old Master Qiu actually lived for two more years, earning precious time for the three sisters of the Qiu family to settle down in the capital city. This can be considered a medical miracle or a faith miracle of this era.

  At this time, the ink purple becomes reflected light.

  "I heard from Mozi that the person who sent San Niang away has changed?" After a few words, Wei Qiong Yu asked about the purpose of Old Man Qiu's visit.

  "Look at me, old fool. Let me introduce you to the two of them." Old Master Qiu stepped aside, revealing a middle-aged couple sitting in the main seat, as well as a young man in his early twenties sitting below them.

  Wei Qiong Yu saw that the middle-aged couple had a noble and dignified appearance. The man's gray-white beard, with a pair of eyes that were both stern and kind. The woman's demeanor was elegant and refined, her attire simple yet tasteful, with a smile in her eyes, clearly a pleasant person to be around. The young man wore a Confucian scholar's blue robe, with an elegant and refined air about him, his gaze straight and true.

  "These two are Governor Tang Shu of Luozhou and his wife, Lady Li. They are also San Niang's godfather and godmother." That's why Old Master Qiu sat in the second seat.

  He pointed at the young man and said to Wei Qiong Yu, "This is my distant nephew, who is three generations older than San Niang's younger brother, Qiu Xin."

  Wei Qingyu and Xiao Erlang exchanged greetings.

  "It should have been me who sent the relatives off personally, but my wife also knows about my physical condition. My wife has to take care of me and a lot of things at home, and can't leave either. It was already decided that two brothers of San Niang would send them off, but unexpectedly, the rice and salt shop in Huizhou had an emergency, and the two brothers rushed there overnight." Old Master Qiu looked helpless. He knew about this when everyone had already left.

  "Master Qian's intention is..." Wei Qiong Yu didn't know what had happened at the Qiao residence recently, and thought that Zhang Shi disliked San Niang, so she was being difficult.

  "My husband and I have taken San Niang as our goddaughter, but we've only received her filial piety and never done anything for this daughter. Now that San Niang is getting married, after discussing with my husband, I'd like to act as the mother to send San Niang off on her wedding day. Would your esteemed family's madam agree?" As soon as Tang Furen spoke, people felt she was a knowledgeable and reasonable woman of good upbringing. "It just so happens that my maternal family is also in Shangdu, I'll take this opportunity to visit them."

  "Auntie, I have always regarded San Niang as my own sister. Please allow me to send her off to the capital in place of my fourth and fifth brothers." Qiu Xin, being a junior, bowed deeply, showing that he was also a young man who understood etiquette.

  Two insincere ones left, but two very sincere ones came, and their identities, status, and knowledge were all above Qiu Si and Qiu Wu. As the person who sent off the bride, they fully maintained Qiu San Niang's dignity.

  Wei Qiong Yu couldn't help but agree. As for the person who would be sent to marry into the Qu family, there was no need to discuss it with her at all, yet they had especially invited her over. Being treated with such respect made her very happy inside.

  Qiu Lao Ye smiled and called Mozi to go to the garden to bring out San Niang.

  Deep purple feelings, this time really have to go.
