Ye Jianqiu

Ye Wanzhen bit the corner of the quilt with a distorted expression, desperately trying to suppress the resentment in her heart, but tears still fell from the corners of her eyes.

——It turns out that she also has weak moments.

Ye Wanzhen slammed the thin bed board and sat up, looking at the bleak moonlight shining through the worn window paper.At this time, dogs barking, babies crying, and even hangover men beating and cursing their wives could be heard from afar.

This is Bazhou Prefecture. Although it is a prosperous and large state capital, she lives in a poor area where the houses look like rotten kilns.

Sewage is flowing everywhere here, flies are flying around, and it is a mixed place of thieves, gamblers, prostitutes, etc. It is often seen that people go home drunk, and they often see people die of illness in dilapidated houses similar to shacks.

"Mom!" Grandpa suddenly yelled, and Ye Wanzhen, who was in the shadow, turned her tear-stained face.

In the small dark room, separated by a cloth curtain, you can clearly hear the snores of Ye Dashan and Niu Shi, as well as grandpa's constant yelling: "Oh my god! Oh my god!"

They seem to have returned to the dilapidated holed house in Xituer Village, the windows open and close with the sound of the wind, the stove is cold and smokeless, the simple bed is made of old chairs and broken boards, and a large big one hangs from the dark roof beams. The basket contained precious rough dry food for fear of insects and rats. Each person could only eat one a day. She often couldn't sleep at night when she was hungry.

Ye Wanzhen vigorously wiped away the wet marks on her face.

Ye Dashan kept trembling and begging for mercy in his sleep: "Master Guan, Master Guan, please be merciful... ah hehe..."

In the end, he cried bitterly in his dream, and Niu seemed to have been awakened, and he kept comforting in a low voice: "Father, don't make trouble, I've been tired all day, and I can't sleep well..."

Ye Wanzhen curled her lips contemptuously towards her parents, her eyes were full of indifference.

Back then, when Yang Xiaomi came to the farm suddenly and took her father away, she had a premonition that she wouldn't stay in that Shui Yunshang for long.

On the surface, Yang Xiaomi listens to Cao Da, but in fact, both he and Mrs. Zhen belong to Mr. Ming Qi. Since Yang Xiaomi has become famous, it means that Mr. Ming Qi is dissatisfied with her.

When she left Shui Yunshang's gate with her luggage wrapped up, she was not flustered, but quickly made a plan for the next step.

She brought her grandfather and Ye Shuan back from their hometown, and rented a small yard in Qingyang with the old and the young. After she arranged everything, she started her first fraud career.

Due to the inconvenient traffic information in this era, many shops that have cooperated with Shui Yunshang still don't know that this big disciple has been expelled by Lady Zhen.

So, she took advantage of this time difference to plan for herself.

After Ye Wanzhen carefully dressed herself up, she hired a carriage.

When she non-stop came to the door of the largest brocade shop in Mianzhou Prefecture, the boss saw that the little shopkeeper of Shui Yunshang came to the door, and couldn't help being a little puzzled.Although most of Shui Yunshang's affairs are handled by women, they don't go out easily, and if they need anything, they place orders through letters.

Ye Wanzhen pretended to be very anxious and told the boss that Shui Yunshang suddenly received a big order. The big customer came from Linyue City, and she specified that the goods would be shipped within one month, and the customer lived in Shui Yunshang and was waiting urgently.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Mrs. Zhen sent her to take away a cart of goods for urgent use, and then asked the shop to send two more carriages of goods to Shui Yunshang for checkout.

The boss was a little worried. Although the other party had a precedent for paying on credit, he did not send anyone to come to the door. Moreover, the amount of the business was too large. He wanted to contact Mrs. Zhen before delivering the goods.

Ye Wanzhen's face turned cold, and she said: "Forget it, Shui Yunshang has no time to act according to other people's faces! The matter is urgent, and the little girl will be offended!" So, without hesitation, she turned around and went to the opposite family that also runs brocade. of shops.

All the shops here know Shui Yunshang, the famous embroidery shop, and any shop wants to cooperate with Shui Yunshang. If they offend Ye Wanzhen, who is in charge of the purchasing power, it may be difficult to do business in the future.

Seeing that Ye Wanzhen was about to leave, the boss panicked. After all, they had been working together for many years. Out of trust in Mrs. Zhen, she must not be offended by this trivial matter, so he pulled her back with a smile on his face, and immediately sent a boy to load a car goods.

Since Ye Wanzhen asked for the most in-demand and high-end silk, the boss was a little embarrassed, so he had to ask Ye Wanzhen to send a letter to Mrs. Zhen, and the other goods would not arrive until two days later.

Ye Wanzhen pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.

This is also what she planned. The ice crystal snow pattern silk she wants is a variety with very little output, and no matter how big the store is, it will not be able to deliver the goods at once, so the merchant can only delay it for a few days. At that time, no matter what Shui Yunshang and the merchant do If the sky turned upside down, then she, Ye Wanzhen, would have fled away long ago.

After she walked out of the street with a cart full of expensive silk, she immediately turned her horse's head and turned to another silk factory a few streets away.

Ye Wanzhen, the owner of this silk shop, also knows each other, because even if she stays at Shui Yunshang every day, many merchants will come to sell, and she carefully left the address of each merchant.These are merchant resources and will be used one day.

Ye Wanzhen went directly to the boss and explained her reason for coming.

She said that these high-end goods Shui Yunshang bought too much accidentally, and the boss who delivered the goods at the beginning was unwilling to return them, saying that the living money would be taken up, and the store would be closed around, so she asked her to wait for a while before returning the goods.Since this batch of goods indeed accounted for too much silver, Madam Zhen sent her to exchange these goods for silver at other shops. If the other party can take them all back this time, they can sell them at a [-]% discount, then Shui Yunshang will consider it in the next step. Cooperation matters with this store.

The boss was very shrewd. He saw that although a little girl was calm and spoke freely, she was sweating non-stop on her forehead, and her eyes were always watching his expression quietly.

——After all, it was her first time committing a crime, and her psychological quality and experience were insufficient. If Ye Wanzhen could successfully defraud her several times in a row, she would definitely be proficient in deception.

The boss smirked, Shui Yunshang was a thief.

But if the benefit is delivered to the hand, is there any reason not to?

He lowered the price very low, Ye Wanzhen immediately changed her face, bluffed loudly that Shui Yunshang would have no chance to cooperate with him in the future, and then walked away.

The boss leaned against the doorpost and watched her back drinking tea leisurely. Sure enough, Ye Wanzhen came back when she was about to walk to the carriage, and she agreed to the other party's terms.

Although there are many silk shops here, some people may take them back according to the conditions she offered, but Ye Wanzhen doesn't have the time and courage to try them all.First of all, she doesn't want to show off, she has to leave here quickly, if the delivery boss sees her, it will be over.Second, the more people know, the more lies will be exposed, and the faster her affairs will be exposed.

The boss who received the goods was also sure of her guilty conscience, and got a big deal.

When she got the money, she immediately drove the carriage back to the Qingyang government office overnight, she went directly to Yang Xiaomi and put the money on the table.

The yamen servant who was playing cards saw a handsome little girl suddenly appearing here, and immediately began to make sarcastic remarks. Yang Xiaomi was full of gentlemanly demeanor, he stood up and stopped everyone's salty tricks: "Don't embarrass the little girl, we are If you are an official, you must have official dignity."

In fact, Ye Wanzhen can't wait to tear the faces of people like Yang Xiaomi to pieces!But she gritted her silver teeth and endured it.

Yang Xiaomi, who was playing cards and drinking with the yamen servants, picked up the money with squinted eyes, waved her hand, and immediately someone went to release her parents.

It was originally a matter of scaring and scaring, and she would be released after three days. I didn't expect this girl to miss her parents and couldn't sit still.However, he was kind enough to come up with such a large bag of silver.

When Ye Wanzhen helped Ye Dashan, who was dying of fright, and Niu Shi, who could only cry, out, Yang Xiaomi, who was playing cards, had almost lost the bag of money.

Ye Wanzhen had mixed feelings in her heart, she put aside all her face and self-esteem, and immediately knelt down in front of Yang Xiaomi, begging him to give some more money so she could go home.

Yang Xiaomi, who had already learned how to smoke a cigarette, happened to win a good deal of cards. Just as he put the cigarette in his mouth, Ye Wanzhen immediately lit up the candlestick for him. Yang Xiaomi was so happy that he grabbed a handful of money. It was thrown to the ground with a bang.

Ye Wanzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, felt like a dog being sent off!

But she didn't have time to sort out the indignation and shame in her heart. Instead, she took her parents back as planned, immediately picked up her grandfather and Ye Shuan, and fled to Bazhou Mansion overnight with her family.

She couldn't afford to rent a good house, so she had to live in this dilapidated and leaky place. Because she committed a crime, she dared not show her household registration to others, and there were no official spies to guide her, so the family became a black household.It was not easy to find work for black households, so Ye Dashan had to go to the grain store to carry bags for others. She and Niu Shi did some starching, washing, and needlework for others, while Ye Shuan was sent directly to the woodware store as an apprentice.

On the other hand, although Ye Wanzhen has a paranoid personality, she is still very strong. If her strengths are used in the right way, she will definitely shine.

——Character determines destiny.

Ye Wanzhen worked hard every day to earn money to support her family, but found that her home was no longer her original home.

Ye Dashan is unwilling to return to Xitu'er Village, not only does he have no face to return to his hometown, but now Ye Wanzhen is still a wanted criminal in the county.If he went back, he would definitely be arrested and interrogated about his daughter's whereabouts. Even if he died, he didn't want to go to prison again.

Ye Dashan and Niu's family just settled down in Bazhou Mansion, doing some odd jobs to live a poor life.

This kind of days when you stop talking when you stop talking makes Ye Dashan miserable.When I was in my hometown, although I was poor, I still had something to eat, dig wild vegetables, hunt rabbits, dig out bird eggs, plus a few acres of Susukida and raised fur animals... everything can fill my stomach.But in the strange Bazhou Prefecture, every grain and every piece of charcoal had to be bought with his own money, and the salt was frighteningly expensive. He hadn't tasted salt for a long time.

After a long time, Ye Dashan and Niu began to miss the glory of driving a big carriage and opening a shop.From time to time, they talk about what good food they have eaten, what good clothes they have worn, and what important people they have seen...

Thus, Ye Dashan and Niu began to complain openly and secretly that Ye Wanzhen came up with a blind idea.I was living a good life, but I wanted to make a fuss, but the result is good, I live like a mouse in the gutter!Moreover, the originally obedient girl and Shitou messed up their relationship because of Ye Erniu.

When going to the farm to make trouble that day, Ye Wanzhen wanted to take the pregnant girl Ye with her, but she was stopped by a stone, and he said loudly: "Don't trouble your elder brother, let alone take my wife!"

Ye Daniu's parents-in-law tightly guarded their pregnant daughter-in-law like a calf.

Ye Wanzhen said coldly: "If you don't go, from today onwards, the relationship will be formally broken!"

Da Niu Ye burst into tears. Shitou felt sorry for his wife and unborn child. He blushed and yelled, "Break it, and whoever dares to bully my daughter-in-law, I will fight with him! Even my own mother and I will not do it!"

——No matter how honest a stone is, there is a bottom line. Whoever touches his wife and children will fight desperately.

Upon hearing this, Niu stepped forward and slapped Shitou across the face. Shitou's parents were furious.

Shitou's father and mother rushed up to fight with Ye Dashan's family.

The diners who were having dinner at the Stone Restaurant came forward to fight one after another. When the two sides were pulled apart, Ye Wanzhen announced loudly: "Miss Ye, listen to me, you will be a member of the Yin family from now on, not our Ye family anymore." I'm a daughter, I want to go to my mother's house to see my parents during the holidays, there's no way!!"

After speaking, Ye Wanzhen took her parents and left.

Just like that, the only way that could still be walked was cut off by her.When the matter of Da Niu was mentioned, Ye Dashan and Niu Shi wailed again and again. Now Da Niu is a little proprietress. Under Cao Laowu's teaching, Shitou gradually learned how to manage money, and occasionally learned to lend money to the bank to collect money. , more and more silver on hand.

Therefore, they looked at Ye Wanzhen even more dissatisfied, as if she had lost a piece of fat that reached her mouth again.

If you do a thousand good things, but accidentally do one wrong, you will fall into the [-]th hell - this is Ye Wanzhen's deepest experience.

Ye Wanzhen finally heard the late-night conversation of her parents who loved her the most.

Ye Dashan said: "It's impossible for Er Niu to be the official wife of a rich family. If she wants to marry a wife, she will definitely check her family. Her parents have prison records, and she has committed crimes. Can be a concubine or a roommate."

Niu lamented: "It would be nice to be a maid of a rich family, but also a concubine, Xuan! With the second girl here, it will not be easy for her younger brother Shuanzi to marry a wife in the future!"

Ye Dashan said again: "Er Niu is doing a lot of rough work now, and she is far less slick than before. If this continues and she becomes an old aunt with yellow calluses, then who will look at her!"

Niu muttered, "Then quickly find a good man to marry her off! Don't wait for the day lily to cool down, and then find a useless person like a rock!"

Ye Dashan said excitedly: "The shopkeeper I work for has taken a fancy to Er Niu and is very fond of her appearance. He has already mentioned to me once that he wants her to be the fourth concubine. I think so! The shopkeeper's family But there are three big shops, all of which sell rice beans, at least we won’t be hungry when she gets married! Er Niu can work anywhere, and in a few years, won’t Er Niu have the final say on which shop? Just give us a shop , it will be enough for Shuanzi to marry a wife in the future!"

"Successful! I think it is successful!" Mrs. Niu smiled, and the days finally have hope!

Ye Wanzhen sat on her little bed and looked at the dirty curtain with cold eyes.

The shopkeeper of that grain shop is over 50 years old. He is old and fat. He has a sparse curly beard on his old face. He walks with a fat body shaking. Package worker and shop guy.

Every time she went to look for Ye Dashan, she could always see the old man holding two Tai Chi balls and whirling around in his hands, looking her up and down with lecherous eyes, Ye Wanzhen felt like throwing up just thinking about it!

Ye Wanzhen immediately jumped out of bed, rushed behind the curtain to express her attitude to Ye Dashan, she would never agree to it!

Ye Dashan and Niu Shi pulled her and began to cry bitterly: "Oh, Erniu, you are the most sensible and filial in our family. The eldest girl can't be counted on, and your elder brother is a white-eyed wolf. If you don't even care about your parents, our family will live." I can't go on anymore! Your grandfather is over 90, and he is constantly suffering from serious and minor illnesses, and he has to get medicine for him. These days he is sick again, and he wants to eat beef! And your younger brother is an apprentice, and he is beaten every day! My poor Shuan Wazi..."

Ye Dashan slammed his fist on the head and lamented: "It's my father's incompetence, and it's all my fault for my incompetence! The children suffer as well, and there is nothing parents can do... Why doesn't father want you to marry a good man?" , but our family is so poor now, how can there be a good husband's family looking for us!"

Ye Wanzhen was stunned. When they sold Ye Da, did they also stage this drama?

It's up for grabs, it's up for grabs!What the people on the farm said was right. When she was in glory, her parents obeyed her and hoped that she would marry a rich and wealthy squire. But now that she has depreciated, her parents want to "sell" her at a low price!

The next day, everything was as usual at home.

Ye Wanzhen came home from work as usual, and as soon as she entered the door and called her mother, she saw Niu sitting at the table as if frozen, with her head bowed and motionless.

Ye Wanzhen said casually: "Mother, I'm tired, do you have food?"

Niu only let out a low moan.

Ye Wanzhen turned around and immediately her face sank. She clearly saw that Niu was holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake tightly in her hand. Seeing her daughter entering the door suddenly, Niu stuffed it into her mouth in fright. She ate it quickly. Panicked again, a little choked, and didn't even dare to open his mouth.

Sweet-scented osmanthus cake, where did the family get the money to buy this?

The room was small, and she quickly found boxes of betrothal gifts wrapped in red cloth hidden under the bed... When Niu found out that the matter had been revealed, she cried and hugged her daughter to explain, but was pushed away by Ye Wanzhen!

Niu pulled his hair, sat on the ground with disheveled hair, pinched his ankles and cried loudly: "Er Niu, there is nothing you can do, the shopkeeper knows about you, and he said that if you don't obey, he will definitely send you to the prison." Ah! I can't do anything!"

Ye Dashan also ran in in fright, and said nervously to Ye Wanzhen: "Er Niu, just obey Daddy, can you bear to see Daddy not even able to eat? If it wasn't for this marriage, our family You have to go to prison again, can't I kneel down for you?"

Ignoring the crying in the room, Ye Wanzhen rushed out of the door immediately, looked up at the sky and sneered non-stop, hehe, Ye Wanzhen, Ye Wanzhen, look at the two good apprentices you taught!

My brain is finally not stupid, and I have learned to use tricks!How did the shopkeeper know that he was a fugitive?Didn't parents threaten her with the most ruthless move?

The pain in Ye Wanzhen's heart cannot be described in any words.

She was a weak girl who risked going to jail to save her parents, but she ended up like this!

She admitted that she had plotted against many people, but she never plotted against her parents!

Are these really her parents who loved her so much?

Parents always tell her to protect her face, don't do heavy work, always give her the best food in the house, and even bow to her and obey her... Could it be that she is raising a canary, thinking Waiting for buyers to sell high prices?

Ye Wanzhen has no doubt that no matter how good or bad she is in the future, her parents will take turns to oppress her just like they did to Ye Jianqiu!

Hehe, she always thinks that even if there are some problems with her parents' personalities, they are the parents after all, the parents who gave birth to her and raised her!But now, she is at a loss...

Ye Wanzhen sat on the bed blankly, she finally felt the same anger and disappointment as Ye Jianqiu... Seeing a big black bird fluttering over the treetops in the night outside the window, the flash of black After the shadow left, she finally burst into tears.
