Ye Xihan was absorbed in thinking about the days when he had no worries about food and clothing in the mansion of Wen state. His actions stopped unconsciously.
She originally thought that she had talent and appearance, and she could make a breakthrough everywhere.
Now that she is under the same roof as the refugees, she finds out how naive she used to be.
When he was young, he was separated and adopted by the Xue family. Although the Xue family was in business and had a low status, they were well-off and did not worry about food and drink.
At that time, she had the capital to write and write by relying on the Xue family, and became famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Now she wants to rebuild her past, but she finds that she can't even afford to buy a piece of paper.
What's more, she has a baby in her stomach.
She knew that ye Shuli must be secretly monitoring her every move. It was more difficult for her to find someone to be the father of the fetus.
Not to mention that she is now among the refugees, she does not dare to show her beauty at all, otherwise she will surely cause disaster.
Thinking of this, she hung her head motionless, eyes lax.
When sister-in-law Mei came back from the outside, she saw such a picture, and her eyebrows were wrinkled.
"Lian'er, can you find your relative or not?" Mei Sao put on a caring face and went forward to hiss.
Ye Xihan reluctantly stirred up a smile and said, "it's troublesome for sister-in-law Mei. I haven't found it yet. I've inquired about it everywhere. They may have left Beijing."
"Leaving Beijing? Are you sure Mei Sao asked in a hurry.
Ye Xihan frowned slightly and felt strange: "but what's the problem, sister-in-law Mei?"
"Ah No, no, I just think you're wrong. It's snowy outside a few days ago, but it's hard to go! " Sister Mei's eyes flashed.
"Thank you for your concern. They are indeed away from Beijing. I have embroidered some handkerchiefs here. Please sell them for me. " Ye Xihan picked up several handkerchief embroidered after staying up all night.
"Ah! no problem! By the way, lian'er, your embroidery work is so good. There is an embroidery workshop near Zhuque street. You can do it. I heard that most of them are women. They are in charge of food and clothing! "
Smell speech, leaf brook Han facial expression move: "really?"
"Yes! I have a few acquaintances there who can introduce you. You are a smart girl. You can't squeeze together with these refugees! " Meisao said with a smile, "if you agree, I'll take you to dinner later!"
"Thank you, sister Mei! Thank you so much Ye Xihan said gratefully, with a burst of joy in his heart.
Finally, she didn't have to live under these dilapidated sheds. Soon she would be able to eat and wear. She believed that with her excellent embroidery work, she could make a breakthrough!
Embroidery skilled embroiderer is often employed by a large family. If she had the chance, she would still be able to climb up!
But in the eyes of douhan, there is no sign of her normal face.
In the evening, as the setting sun gradually sets, ye Xihan cleans her face, carefully and simply dresses up, and follows Mei Sao and his wife along the road step by step in the cold wind.
She was a little unhappy. Yudai street was so far away from Zhuque street that she didn't even call a carriage. When did she walk so far?
But remembering that she still had to rely on sister-in-law Mei to work in the embroidery shop, she put up with it.
After walking for a long time, they left the busy street, went around a rather remote alley and came to the back door of a courtyard.
When people came to see this, they quickly opened the door for them.
Ye Xihan twisted his brows slightly and said in a soft voice, "sister-in-law Mei, why do we want to enter through the back door?"
"It's said that there are some distinguished guests in the front yard. I'm afraid I'll bump into them, so I'll come in through the back door," said sister-in-law Mei
Ye Xihan nodded, not asking.
They entered the backyard through the back door, and then went into an empty room. Mei Sao then said, "lotus, wait here. My husband and I will call the boss of the embroidery shop!"
Ye Xihan nodded to show his understanding. After their husband and wife left, he looked at the decoration of the room.
Looking at it, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The decoration of the room was too pompous and arrogant. There was a sense of extravagance everywhere. It didn't look like an embroidery shop.
Listen carefully, it seems that there are still some noisy voices in the front yard, mixed with male and female voices, it seems that there are playing music and singing?
All of a sudden, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and her face turned pale.
Sister Mei hasn't come back after she's gone so long?
She felt something strange about it, and was about to sneak away to see the situation when the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a half old woman Xu Niang, who was dressed like a hook, came in, followed by several young men and servant girls.
"My husband Madame Ye Xi Han Leng for a while, heart next sink, soft voice opening to ask a way.
When the middle-aged woman heard her saying this, she was stunned. She shook her fan to cover her lips and said with a smile, "ha ha, ma'am? The little girl is really interesting... "After that, she walked around Ye Xihan twice and looked at her carefully. Then she said with satisfaction and admiration, "tut Tut, what a gorgeous beauty
Even though she was dressed in coarse cloth and decorated simply, she could see how delicate the woman was.
"I've been in Tianxiang building for more than ten years. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman! We Tianxiang building, I'm afraid we're going to play a brilliant number one again! "
The little fellow around also looked obscene. He looked at Ye Xihan and said, "what mother Xu said is that this girl looks more beautiful than Miss Su Su!"
Ye Xihan's face suddenly changed: "head Number one? Tianxiang building!? Isn't this embroidery workshop! Where's sister Mei? Where's sister Mei! "
"Sister Mei? Her husband and wife have already sold you to Tianxiang building for ten liang of silver. From now on, you will be the girl of Tianxiang building... " Mother Xu shakes her fan and looks at Ye Xihan, as if thinking about how much money she can earn for Tianxiang building.
Bang of a, ye Xi Han stay Leng in situ, this just know oneself by Mei Sao husband and wife to sell!
She didn't care to get angry. She trembled all over. Shaking her eyes, she said, "I'm not related to Mrs. Mei. I'm here to work in the embroidery shop, not to be a cheap prostitute in Tianxiang building!"
With that, she immediately wanted to escape from the room.
But mother Xu's face sank. She motioned to the boy to stop her. She looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "do you want to go? no way! I bought you for ten liang of silver! "
"Little girl, I see you are smart and pretty. I'll work hard with my mother. Tianxianglou won't treat you badly. That day is much happier than going to Xiufang!"
