Chapter 53 Embarrassment
In Shaoling's inner house, Shaoling's wife was packing Kong Ling'er's box and cage, "Your father said that it is a long way to go to the capital, so no matter what, he still needs to find a carriage. He went to the dental shop early in the morning to ask."

Kong Linger watched Fei Cui put a beaded crown into the cage, took the hand of Mrs. Shaoling and said coquettishly: "Aniang, if Yun'er hadn't helped me in the weaving department, I would not have been able to finish the embroidery of the peony longevity character.

It's a long way to go to the capital this time, and Mrs. Pei has to go with her again.Yun'er is definitely not comfortable with them in a carriage, otherwise, let her ride in our carriage! "

Don't make the lady feel a little bit embarrassed, what the master told her last night was not unreasonable.

Fourth Miss Chang had excellent embroidery skills, if she was with Fourth Miss Chang in the palace, Ling'er might not be able to catch the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

But it's hard for Mrs. Shaoling to tell Kong Linger about this.

Besides, Mrs. Pei is the aunt of the fourth girl after all, if she let the fourth girl ride in their carriage, wouldn't it be obvious that she would be ashamed of Mrs. Pei.

But seeing her daughter looking forward to acting like a baby, Mrs. Shaoling couldn't bear to brush her off.

She smiled and reached out to touch Kong Ling'er's hair, and persuaded: "Ling'er, if Yun'er rides with us in a carriage, it's not because she is clearly at odds with her aunt, where do you want Pei's face to be, after all They are family."

It's not that Kong Ling'er doesn't understand this, it's just that when she was in the Weaving Department, Miss Chang Wu didn't make things difficult for Yun'er, she just wanted to save her from being idle.

Hearing what her mother said, she begged her mother, "Aniang, can you wear the beaded crown you made for me last month, if Yun'er enters the palace without a crown, let her wear it. "

Mrs. Shaoling looked at her daughter dotingly and smiled, "Yun'er helped you before, so there is nothing wrong with you giving her the crown. Auntie knows that you are a person who repays favors, and she is too late to be happy."

Kong Ling'er stood up happily, and asked Fei Cui to take the crown, "Put the crown away, and give it to Yun'er when you get to the capital, and give her a surprise."

Lady Shaoling looked at her innocent and lively daughter, and secretly sighed in her heart.

The feelings of the daughter in the boudoir are always so beautiful, but the colorful clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is fragile. Who knows what it will be like in the capital!
In Chang's inner house, Mrs. Pei is looking at the cage on the ground and sighing.

Going to the capital is not like going to Qingzhou. You can go out with an ox cart, and you need a horse-drawn cart for hundreds of miles.

However, it is not cheap to rent a carriage from a car dealership, but she cannot discuss it with Chang Pu. If Chang Pu finds out that she has pawned Zhuang Zi, the consequences will be disastrous.

Feeling guilty, she naturally didn't dare to bring up the matter of entanglement with Chang Pu. Besides, when it comes to money now, Chang Pu has no good face.

But to go to the capital with the princess of the county, it's not good to mix an ox cart into a group of horse-drawn carriages.

All the money that made Pei Cheng a shop last time has been used for business.The money sold for Han's two embroidery works was not enough to buy things for the road, and the rest was not enough for money.

If I had known earlier, I should have kept some money from the pawn shop for money, and now I wouldn't have to worry about it.

She sighed again, it's hard to be a poor family, and it's even more difficult to be a poor family.

It was the first time in her life that she remembered the good old lady Chang. If the old lady was still there, she wouldn't have to worry about it.

She gritted her teeth, and took a breath of cold air hissingly. In the past few days, she was anxious to get angry, and blisters formed on her lips. At this moment, she didn't pay attention to her teeth touching, and she gasped in pain.

That broom star has a carriage, but she definitely won't let her and Yao'er sit in it.

The only way right now is to see if Pei Cheng can lend her his carriage for a few months, and if Yao'er becomes successful by then, she won't forget that he is her uncle.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Pei was in a hurry to go out.She called Qiuhen, and the two rode in a bullock cart and headed towards the fruit shop in Peicheng.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the shop, Pei Cheng was about to go out when he saw her and asked, "Sister, are you looking for me?"

"Who am I going to find if I don't ask you?" Mrs. Pei was a little anxious, regardless of being on the street, and directly explained her intentions.

"Yao'er will go to the capital in the future, but the carriage has not been decided yet. I wonder if you can borrow us your carriage. In the future, Yao'er will have a future, and she will definitely not forget you as uncle."

Pei Cheng was in trouble, he was a businessman, he ran around all day long, it was really inconvenient not to have a carriage, but he also knew that his sister, since she had spoken out, would not be so easy to get rid of.

Mrs. Pei saw his hesitation, and said angrily: "I can't think about it, Yao'er is your niece, you, as an uncle, have to find a way."

Pei Cheng scratched his head, "Sister, you know, I'm running around, it's really inconvenient without a carriage, besides, I just bought a batch of silk a few days ago, and I plan to ship it to Xia Guo in two days , isn’t there your share in this too?”

"Then what should I do? If I have a way, why should I come to you?" Pei asked anxiously.

Seeing this, Pei Cheng couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he let Mrs. Pei into the back room, poured a bowl of tea himself, and handed it to Mrs. Pei.

"Sister, isn't there still my brother-in-law? You let my brother-in-law think of a way. After all, he is a man who eats from an official family."

"If your brother-in-law has a way, why should I come to you?" Mrs. Pei was a little depressed, this time Yao'er's going to Beijing is a big event, maybe the Chang family may turn around.

But the behavior of Chang Pu and Pei Cheng really made her angry.She thought for a while and said, "If it's really not possible, you can rent a carriage for me."

"My good sister," Pei Cheng sighed, "Think about it, besides Yao'er, there are four girls who are going to the capital this time, doesn't it mean she doesn't need a carriage?

This is originally what brother-in-law should worry about. You said that you have finished worrying about it. Can brother-in-law let you down? "

"But." Mrs. Pei felt a little guilty when she thought about pawning Zhuangzi.

"Don't worry about it. The two girls of the Chang family went to the capital with the princess of the county. What an embarrassing thing. If you really said that there is no car, brother-in-law will think of a way." Pei Cheng tried his best to persuade Pei, "I'm afraid I'm afraid, if you take all the affairs on yourself, if you are tired, who can understand your difficulties?"

This sentence really spoke to Pei's heart. These days, she couldn't eat or sleep well because of this matter. Who would have forgiven her.

Seeing that Pei's face was a little loose, Pei Cheng just wanted to convince her to find another way as soon as possible.

"Sister, I still have a few taels of silver here. I can give it to Yao'er for money, but my brother-in-law is the head of the Chang family. You have to let him do some things in person. Only then will he know your embarrassment and will sympathize with you." .”

Mrs. Pei was gradually persuaded by Pei Cheng, so she put aside the carriage and asked about business matters, "You said that it is reliable to transport silk to the Xia Kingdom, if so."

"Sister, don't worry," Pei Cheng reassured her, "I'm with a friend this time, and he's well-versed."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Pei didn't ask any more questions.

Pei Cheng asked the waiter to wrap ten taels of silver on the counter and handed it over to Mrs. Pei before sending her out of the fruit shop.
