Chapter 87 Heartbreak

Chapter 87 Heartbreak
Cen Sanniang fully understood what Fang Ming said.It turned out that he was given mulberry garden and agreed with him to open a small shop in Hongzhou so that he could have a way out.Hongzhou first released the news that she had drowned and died, Fang Ming naturally closed the shop.

After Chang'an, news spread to Longzhou that she was not dead and had returned to her grandfather's house.Fang Ming's heart was moved, and he went to Chang'an to open this Yunshang clothing factory.

According to the agreement, Fang Ming could not come to contact him.It is also impossible for her to leave the house alone.During the previous two visits, this shop was rented out to others for other business.When she came this time, she saw that it was a silk and satin shop, and she knew Fang Ming was here.

"The Wang family relied only on the Empress Baolin in the palace. Wuniang Cen entered the palace to be a beauty. I have inquired about it. Wang Baolin has been in the palace for several years and has not conceived. She is not as favored as before. A Empress Baolin saw it when she was in Longzhou. It’s already infinitely beautiful, but it’s worthless when you get to the capital.” Cen Sanniang said bluntly.

Seeing Fang Ming's brighter eyes, Cen Sanniang smiled sweetly: "I am on good terms with Si Niang. You know that she is now the second wife of Duke Yuchi's mansion. Her husband is a lieutenant in the Habayashi Army. His official position is not high. , the Habayashi Army is full of meritorious children, the family background of the sixth-rank officials and above. My second uncle is the captain of Guoyi in the Zhechong Prefecture. I am also close to the daughter-in-law of the Jingzhao Du family..."

The more Fang Ming listened, the more excited he became. He didn't need Cen Sanniang to give up all the chips in his hand, so he stood up and bowed: "If Sanniang can help our Fang family establish a foothold in Chang'an, I will give you [-]% of the shares."

Cen Sanniang shook her head, stared at Fang Ming and said, "I am willing to help with all my strength, and I don't want to be a member of your Fang family. I only have one request."

"please say."

Cen Sanniang was silent for a while, and pushed the bank note on the table over: "Brother Fang Qi, please apply for another household registration for me, and find a reliable caravan. I want to take a trip to the Western Regions."

Fang Ming never expected her to make such a request.A girl from a wealthy family goes to the Western Regions with the caravan, unless she is not a girl from the Cen family and the Li family.Master Cen Er had a daughter who entered the palace, and Siniang Cen married into the Duke's mansion.The Li family has a great governor, Captain Guo Yi.If the Fang family gained a foothold in Chang'an because of this, once it was discovered that Cen Sanniang's disappearance was related to the Fang family, it would be a catastrophe.

Cen Sanniang also knew that this request had a lot to do with it, and Fang Ming really couldn't decide.I can't help feeling sad.If it wasn't for Xu's overstepping his own power and letting her go back to Li's house, that drowning would have been a great chance to change her face and regain her freedom.

Perhaps, Kong Qing will not return to Du's house, she has expert support by her side, even if she wants to take the Silk Road, she has the confidence.

She had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Brother Fang Qi, then you promise me that if one day I suffer from drowning again, you will help me get another household registration."

"San Niang, could it be that Prince Teng..."

Fang Cen's family retired because of King Teng, and now it is not the boundary of Hongzhou.The vassal kings were not allowed to call and not enter the capital, and King Teng couldn't reach Chang'an.Fang Ming was full of doubts.

"It has nothing to do with him." Cen Sanniang sighed leisurely, "I just really want to do business, but unfortunately..."

Fang Ming understood.He persuaded: "San Niang, you are a lady after all."

"So, I can only find a good home for myself. There are so many helpless things in the world, I will figure it out." Cen Sanniang sighed, stood up, "Brother Fang Qi, I said earlier that you didn't Listen. The conditions you said are more realistic. If the Fang family can gain a foothold in Chang'an, I will get [-]% of the shares. After writing the deed, I will find another opportunity to pick it up. It is inconvenient to delay too long today. If you don't go out, Baicao Both my second uncle and I will be suspicious."

Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. If Fang Ming can do what I can, Sanniang can speak up."

Cen Sanniang was blessed and left the backyard.

There was already a capable woman waiting outside to accompany her out.

Baicao got impatient with the wait: "Third lady, why have you been trying on clothes for so long?"

Cen Sanniang hadn't opened her mouth yet, but the old woman was already smiling: "The old lady waited on the girl to try on clothes, and she was delayed by some gossip."

Baicao muttered: "What does San Niangzi have to say to you..."

Cen Sanniang put on a serious face: "Why, I have to talk to this mother for a few more words, and I have to tell you that I can't do it?"

The shopkeeper took out the two sets of ready-made clothes that he had prepared earlier and handed them over: "Go away, girl, the total is 16 taels of silver."

Baicao pouted and paid the money, picked up the bag and went out with Cen Sanniang, muttering: "I went out today because the second master was here and didn't bring a few maids to wait on me. How could the third lady follow this small shop alone before the slaves came back?" The mother-in-law went to try on clothes."

Cen Sanniang stopped, sighed and said, "Is it my fault? I will never leave alone in the future."

Baicao actually went on to say: "What a noble girl from the Li family, what should I do if something happens? The third lady will leave the slaves like this in the future, and the slaves will report to the old man."

The breath was stuck in Cen Sanniang's chest.Don't mention Mrs. Li, but when that old treacherous old man is mentioned, she doesn't want to stay in Li's house for even a day.But the person who said this was Baicao.One Xu family is enough to make her sad, and now Baicao is doing the same.What do they know?Just look at how powerful the Li family is, and they have no friends.Have you ever thought about her feelings?
Baicao still kept talking: "Look at the stinginess of this store, and the two clothes still sell for 16 taels of silver. Could it be that the third lady has been blackmailed? Look back at the clothes. If it is not good, I will let the second master replace it for you." The third lady seeks justice."

Cen Sanniang could feel the blood vessels in her forehead jumping up.This year, she lived in Li's Mansion in Chang'an, made friends with Cen Siniang, and got acquainted with Du's family. She had never seen any slaves dare to intervene in the master's affairs as a matter of course.She couldn't bear it anymore, and stopped: "Baicao, do you think I have to ask you before I even buy two clothes?"

Baicao was stubborn: "I don't mean that. The servant is worried that the third lady will be deceived!"

Cen Sanniang was so angry that her hands and feet trembled.

"Slap!" A white hand stretched out from the side, and slapped Baicao's face with one slap.

Cen Sanniang was startled, only to see Du Jingshu and Du Yansui standing aside.

Du Jingshu's face was full of anger: "I really can't listen anymore! Sanniang, don't blame me for teaching this lowly maid for you! Which slave dares to talk back to her master in the street? You say a word and she wants to answer you three times, really! I'm furious!"

With this slap, a red shadow appeared on Baicao's tender cheeks, and tears filled her almond eyes.Seeing that the person who beat him was Du Jingshu, no matter how upset he was, he could only cover his face and said, "This servant is not talking back to San Niangzi, but this servant is thinking of San Niangzi...Master Kongqing?"

Seeing that Baicao recognized Kong Qing, Cen Sanniang was startled, stepped forward to block Baicao's sight and said with a dark face, "Go back to the carriage and stay."

Baicao looked at Du Yansui with surprise on his face, for a moment he forgot to be slapped by Du Jingshu, as if he didn't hear Cen Sanniang's words: "Master Kongqing, I am Baicao you rescued from the Qiu family! Don't you Recognize me?"

Cen Sanniang caressing her forehead is the fault of her habits!
Kong Qing turned into Du Yansui naturally has his secrets.But such a secret is not known by Baicao.

"Baicao, you've got the wrong person!" Cen Sanniang almost gritted her teeth and said this.

"Third lady, I did not admit my mistake!" Baicao's stubborn temper was revealed to the fullest at this time: "I will not admit my mistake, you are Master Kongqing! I will never admit my mistake, I was locked up in the woodshed of Qiu's house that night , I was hungry for two days, and you saved me."

Baicao's beautiful almond eyes shone with admiration and excitement.

She looked at Du Yansui with admiration, which made Cen Sanniang's heart sink.

Cen Sanniang understood instantly.Baicao, who was trapped in the Qiu Mansion and lost hope, suddenly saw the extraordinary Kong Qing that night, she had a strange thought.At that time, Kong Qing was just a bodyguard.In Baicao's view, it is equal to her own identity.It's normal for a maid to like a guard.If they continue to get along, maybe one day they will ask themselves to fulfill them.Kong Qing was injured and left, and Baicao's thoughts were suppressed in the bottom of her heart.Today we met again on the street.Baicao was excited, and was reluctant to give up such an opportunity to leave.

"Baicao, this is the ninth son of the Du family! You have mistaken the person, take the burden back to the carriage." Cen Sanniang said flatly.

It's a pity that Baicao lost his mind a long time ago. Not only did he not leave, but he also asked stubbornly: "Third lady, what's going on? How could he be the ninth son of the Du family?"

Du Jingshu was confused and stared wide-eyed: "Ninth Brother, did you know her before? Why does she keep calling you Young Master Kongqing?"

Cen Sanniang's heart suddenly shrank, and she suddenly remembered that at Cen's house that year, the weaving house made things difficult for her, and Baicao and Mrs. Xu wanted to settle accounts with the weaving house's mother-in-law.I was weak, so I couldn't stop the tall Mrs. Xu, nor could I stop Baicao, who was stronger than me, so I had to move a stool to block the door.Baicao is like this today, and I still can't hold it back.She was anxious and angry, feeling that she was useless, and growled, "Baicao, shut up! Go back to the carriage and stay there!"

Baicao was startled by Cen Sanniang's sharp voice, looked at her blankly, and still didn't move.

Seeing this, Cen Sanniang was so angry that her hands and feet were trembling, and she reluctantly said to Du Jingshu, "I'm making Shi Niang laugh, my girl will suffer from dementia from time to time."

Du Yansui looked at her, the coldness and alienation in her eyes seemed to have melted instantly, only deep pity.He whispered to Du Jingshu: "I used Kong Qing's name when I was traveling on the emperor's order."

Cen Sanniang looked at him in surprise.He admitted it frankly.

Du Jingshu understood, and gave Baicao a hard look, thinking that my ninth elder brother has changed his identity to act under the imperial order, so maybe I have to explain it to you with a servant?
