The quilt was old, and the cotton that had been played in the early years had become hard to the touch.When Lanyue heard the sound, she turned around and her eyes fell on the quilt.

Shuyue has already picked it up and put it on the bed.Lanyue walked over, bent down and reached out to touch the quilt, her expression was gloomy, obviously dissatisfied with the quilt, but she also knew the difficulties at home, after all, she didn't say anything, and sat on the edge of the bed sullenly.

In the evening, Shuyue sat by the bed, watching Lanyue sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

There was no light in the room, the windows were wide open, and the moonlight filled the room.Shuyue saw Lanyue sitting in the dark, holding a wooden comb in her hand, combing her long hair one by one.The rhombus mirror with one corner missing dimly reflected Lanyue's delicate face.

Shuyue just stared at her younger sister combing her hair when she was idle and had nothing to do. She got bored watching it, so she took off her shoes and went to bed to sleep.

At this moment, Lanyue turned her head and looked at her with dissatisfaction on her face, "You haven't washed your feet yet."

Ling Shuyue's movements froze, and then she got off the bed neatly, found the clogs and put them on, and went to the yard to wash her feet.In fact, she has not had the habit of washing her feet before going to bed for many years. The place where she was exiled was seriously short of water, and there was absolutely no water for them to wash their feet.

After cleaning herself up, Shuyue came in.

At this time, Lanyue had already closed the window, and she was sitting in the darkness.Hearing Shuyue's footsteps, he reminded, "This way."

Shuyue walked to the bed in the dark, and touched Lanyue's soft waist.

In the darkness, Shuyue heard her younger sister say coquettishly, "Where are you touching?"

Shuyue withdrew her hand, not daring to touch it any more, she sat by the bed for a while, thinking about how to get past her sister to sleep in it.

Lanyue moved inside reluctantly, pulled her quilt, and left the other quilt for her.Shuyue just took off her clogs, gently climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt over, and lay down.

……

Mrs. Ling and Lanyue sat in the yard doing embroidery. This was a job Tan Nu had hired to embroider patterns on silk handkerchiefs for a clothing store in Kyoto.This is their current source of income.

Shuyue came out of the house in a green shirt, just now because the firewood was used to chop the fire, the clothes were soiled, so she deliberately changed into a clean one.

Madam Ling glanced at her lazily, seeing that she had changed into men's clothes again, she asked, "Want to go out?"

Standing in front of her, Shuyue said respectfully, "Yes, mother." This is a habit developed since childhood, not to mention that the aunt in front of her didn't criticize herself and her mother.Madam Ling buried the maid who lied to her next to her late husband. For this, Ling Shuyue was very grateful to her.After all, under the circumstances at that time, Mrs. Ling could completely ignore this matter.

Madam Ling looked at her and said, "Daughter, what kind of long gown should you wear? Put on a skirt before going out."

Shuyue looked distressed, "I've already agreed to work as a clerk in the yamen, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to wear a skirt."

After she finished speaking, Lanyue looked up at her, and then asked, "Are you going to work in the Yamen?"

Seeing her younger sister looking at her, Shuyue nodded with a smile on her face, and Lanyue lowered her head again.

Madam Ling frowned, she didn't like it, "Where are you going to go to the Yamen, you should learn to work as a girl, and you will marry someone in the future." How could a man want Shuyue like this? What's more, she has two Four out of ten!

Thinking of this, Madam Ling felt depressed and extremely heavy.

Shuyue hadn't thought about her life's event, so when Madam Ling mentioned it, she was worried about herself.She didn't dare to say bluntly in front of her and said that she would not marry in this life, so she had to understand it, "I was raised as a boy since I was a child, and I don't know anything about female workers. My officer in the army knew that I was going back to Kyoto. Arranged this job for me. After all, the family also needs to supplement the family, this job, the salary is very considerable."

Hearing that the salary is good, Mrs. Ling is not so persistent. What Shuyue said is the truth, this family needs someone to support it.She looked at the neatly stacked firewood in the yard, which Shuyue had chopped up in the morning, and she didn't know where her hand strength came from, and the water tank in the kitchen was also filled to the brim.She is not inferior to men in her work,

Shuyue saw that she was a little loose, and continued: "I have already greeted the people in the yamen before, and the errand I arranged is to patrol the streets. They are all on day shift, and I can come back when you are. Nothing will happen."

Only then did Madam Ling say: "When the dowry is saved, I will resign from this job."

Shuyue agreed, and when she walked to the door, she remembered to say goodbye to her sister, so she turned her head, "Sister, I'm going out first."

She was tall and tall, standing at the door, half-turning her body, looking at her sister tenderly.

Lanyue raised her head upon hearing the sound, moved the corners of her lips, and almost called her brother.Finally, she nodded, indicating that she heard it, with a cold attitude.

Chapter 4

As soon as Shuyue left, guests came to this small courtyard.

Tan Nu led people in, with an unconcealable joy on his face, seeing Madam Ling in the courtyard, he said, "Madam, someone has come to say kiss to the girl."

Madam Ling tidied up the work on the table in a panic, and asked Lanyue to go into the room with her things to avoid suspicion.Then he straightened his hair before getting up, showing a gentle smile, "Who's here?"

Tan Nu hurriedly signaled the matchmaker standing at the door to come in. The matchmaker was thinking about how this poor family behaved like a rich family, but when she saw the gentle Mrs. Ling, she knew it.

The matchmaker hid her surprise and walked over with a smile, "So it's Mrs. Ling, do you still recognize me as an old lady?"

As soon as Mrs. Ling heard that she recognized her, she felt overwhelmed. She thought that people in the capital had forgotten her as a down-and-out lady.She hid her embarrassment, she was not as happy as before, and sat back again with a cold attitude.

When the matchmaker saw how she was taking Joe, she felt contemptuous in her heart, but she still smiled like a flower on her face, "It seems that Mrs. Ling is a noble person who forgets things a lot, and you entrusted me to talk about Young Master Ling's marriage back then."

It was only when Madam Ling remembered that she was the most eloquent matchmaker in Kyoto back then, her mouth was as bright as a lotus flower, and many marriages were made.At that time, she really invited her to the house for a talk, and asked her to pay more attention to the girl from an innocent family in the boudoir of the capital, and was going to choose a good person for Ling Yue.Now ten years have passed, and Ling Yue has become Ling Shuyue, but she is still doing her job, and her mouth is even stronger now.Mrs. Ling said calmly: "I dare not forget, I wonder who Zhang Matchmaker is going to marry when she comes here?"

Lanyue put away her things, turned back, heard the conversation here, quietly went back to the room, and stuck to the door to listen.

Matchmaker Zhang giggled, "Mrs. Ling, this family is amazing. It is the richest family in all of Kyoto, the Xi family!"

Mrs. Ling's heart moved. She had heard about the Xi family. Although it was a merchant family, its business had already entered the royal family. It was also heard that the new head of the Xi family got along very well with the noble children of the royal family and had a bright future.

"See, that tall restaurant was just built by Xi's family, and the money earned in a day is enough to feed and clothe dozens of families for a year."

Madam Ling heard her exaggerated tone, looked at the restaurant again, and said in a reserved tone: "Money is not the most important thing, the important thing is that this person is good."

Matchmaker Zhang laughed at her hypocrisy in her heart, but she echoed, "Yes, yes, the key is to be a good person. The young master who is in charge of the Xi family now is young and promising, but he is not a good son-in-law in the hearts of girls in Kyoto."

Matchmaker Zhang was still boasting about the young master of the Xi family. Madam Ling thought she was a son of a concubine of the Xi family, but when she heard that he was the young master of the family, she couldn't believe such a good thing.After all, their family's situation is here, and the two daughters are both older. She is already thankful that there are good people who want them.

"Madam Ling, how are you?" Matchmaker Zhang looked at her with a smile, "If you agree, the Xi family will send someone to pick up the girl tomorrow."
