Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 79: Lantern (2)
"I don't know what you're talking about," the girl cried.

Shui Jingnian felt like he was about to collapse!After searching for so long, he finally had some clues, but it was all a joy and nothing!Reluctantly asked: "Did you make the embroidery and desserts?"

"It's me..." The girl said, "It's not me..."

"What's going on? By the way, what's your name!"

The girl seemed to be frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "My name is Liu Xin'er. I embroidered those embroidery works, but the drawings are not mine, they are left by my sister, and my sister also taught me to make desserts." .”

Shui Jingnian's eyes lit up: "What about your sister?"

"died!"

Shui Jingnian almost spit out a mouthful of blood!Died again! "Then why did you sigh at the gate of Tianwei Tianxia just now?"

"Because my sister has played a song similar to yours before." Liu Xin'er said with her eyes empty, and hummed two tunes as if recalling something beautiful: "I have a bad voice, I don't like singing, and I don't know the rhythm. Remember that."

Shui Jingnian listened to those few tunes, which sounded like modern ancient songs. Could it really be her dead sister? "There was a little village girl who also sold similar embroidery."

"Are you talking about Aunt Xiaoxue?" Liu Xin'er sighed, "A few months ago, my father's leg was injured and he couldn't work anymore, and the medical expenses were expensive. I kept digging through the things at home, and later found out My sister’s belongings were found to be a lot of cute pictures. I thought at the time, if such cute things were made into embroidery and sold, maybe I could make more money, so I started to make embroidery. Xiaoxue and I are good friends, we live close together, so we do it together with their sister-in-law, and I want to take care of my father, so I let Xiaoxue sell it at the Embroidery Workshop. Who would have expected Xiaoxue to be so miserable that she would die on the street!"

"This embroidery was very popular as soon as it came out. Mr. Zhongli came to the door and bought all the drawings of my family at a high price. My sister taught me how to make desserts before. She saw that I was talented and left a lot of recipes. Give it to me. I saw that the things left by my sister are so valuable, maybe desserts can also make money, so I asked Mr. Zhongli to cooperate."

After Liu Xin'er finished speaking, she looked at Shui Jingnian with a look of hesitation: "Young master... I sold all my blueprints to Zhongli's family! I also sold the recipes for desserts! I signed a paperwork with them, and I cannot teach them to others. Zhong Li's family is the richest man...their family has a backer! Please, my lord...don't embarrass me!"

Was she afraid of being threatened and taught the secret recipe so she didn't dare to show her face?

Shui Jingnian was so discouraged that he almost collapsed on the ground, and waved his hands weakly: "Let's go."

"Thank you, Young Master!" Liu Xin'er showed a smile of the rest of her life, stood up, turned around and ran away quickly.

Liu Xin'er stumbled all the way, until she got home and closed the door, she showed a sneer.

This man is more simple-minded than imagined and easy to fool!
She is the eyeliner of Prince Chen!It was staring at an official nearby!She couldn't figure out why she was going to fool someone, but she didn't need to know the reason for the task assigned by His Royal Highness, as long as it was carried out and completed!

……

Shui Jingnian was indeed played around by Song Zhuo, and was fooled!It also broke his mind!
Looking at the full moon outside the window, he couldn't help crying.

He is homesick!He wants to go home!He misses his noisy mother, his funny father who likes to tell bad jokes, his old smoker grandfather, and his crying sister!And a whole bunch of brothers!

He couldn't figure out why he had to suffer like this!
Every day, he would be calculated by a large group of so-called brothers. If he said a wrong word, the emperor's father would kill half of his life, and even the so-called biological mother would only use him as a tool to fight for the throne!

He has had enough!

The wine jug in his hand was smashed to pieces with a bang, he jumped out of the window, snatched a horse tied to the door, turned on his back, and slammed it to the ground. Run out.

"Master! Master!" Ping Xing desperately chased after him.

But Shui Jingnian flew away on a flying ride, so there was no way he could catch up.

He didn't know where he was going, and he just wanted to keep running until he got out of the city gate. After running for nearly half an hour, the horse couldn't run because of fatigue, and couldn't stop standing still.

"Let's go!" Shui Jingnian cast all his anger on the horse, whipping his whip continuously.

The horse neighed, turned upside down, fell to the ground, and he was not the owner, so the horse ran away!

Shui Jingnian was so angry that he kept cursing, and when he looked up, he was already far away from Beijing, the surroundings were all pitch black, only there were lights in the distance, it looked like a small town.

There was a jungle behind him, and Shui Jingnian was afraid of wild animals, so he had to cut and ran towards the small town.

Today is the fifteenth day, and Tiansheng has a market on the night of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

Shui Jingnian walks into the small town full of travel and dust, surrounded by lanterns, and the people come out with their families to visit the night market, buy sugar, grab chestnuts, laugh and make a lot of noise.

Shui Jingnian couldn't help being sad again when he thought that he was alone here.

Suddenly, I saw a lit lantern in front of me, and the bright yellow light reflected, making the poems on the lantern extraordinarily dazzling.

Send flowers and send wine to welcome new blooms, put the flower branches on the left and the cup on the right.

If you want to ask the flower branch and the glass of wine, why is the old man different?
—— "Hometown Apricot Blossom"

Why didn't the old man come here!Shui Jingnian also sighed deeply, pointed at the lantern and said, "Boss, I want this lantern."

The boss said: "I'm sorry, it's already sold."

Speaking of lifting the lantern, Shui Jingnian looked up, only to see a dirty girl's face across a row of lanterns.

That small face might be dirty, but under the reflection of the light, it is shockingly beautiful.
