Chapter 386: Lifeless
Su Shaoyuan and Lu were startled at first, then pulled her over and looked at her carefully.
Then his face was full of disappointment...
Obviously, she is not a sister.
Su Shaoyuan and Lu also persuaded Su Wenxuan, saying that he had recognized the wrong person.
But Su Wenxuan cried so hard at the time and choked up, "She is just like her sister, she doesn't eat candied haws either..."
Su Shaoyuan and Lu's tears fell at that moment. After a moment, they took out a silver ingot from their purses, gave it to her, and asked her to buy food and clothes.
She had never seen such a large and heavy amount of silver, nor had she ever seen such a kind-hearted person.
She saw two servants following the carriage.
Rich families always have servants around them.
And more than one.
She thought about it, knelt in front of the three of them, returned the silver, and asked them if they were willing to buy her as a maid. She would do all the rough and tiring work. She didn't want the money from selling her body, just to have enough food to eat and a place to live.
I don't know whether it's because I feel sorry for her, or because I think she's very courageous, or because the Su family is really short of maids...
In short, Su Wenxuan and others took her back.
But she did not become a maid of the Su family, but a lady of the Su family.
She had a new name, no longer had to worry about food and clothing, no longer had to worry about having no place to live, and no longer had to worry about being bullied.
She seemed to have a home.
But this house always looks lifeless.
Even though the Su family had a big business and made a lot of money, and had a very high status because of their charity, what she still saw was her mother crying, her father sighing, and her brother being unhappy.
She knew that her family was supposed to have an older sister, but she had gone missing and her whereabouts were unknown.
She probably guessed that the reason why the Su family took her in and made her their daughter instead of a maid was probably because she was about the same age as her sister and had the same stubborn temper.
She sighed and felt sad for her father, mother and brother.
But her father, mother and brother treated her so well, she didn't want to make them unhappy.
She worked hard to read and learn to read, worked hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and worked hard to be filial to everyone.
She didn't know whether it was because many years had passed since her sister went missing, or because her efforts had paid off, but gradually she began to see occasional smiles on her mother's face, and her father's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Even my brother perked up.
And everyone treated her better and better.
She understood that her father, mother and brother treated her so well because of her sister Chuchu.
Perhaps he thought that if he treated her well, good would be rewarded, and he would accumulate some good karma for Sister Chuchu, hoping that by chance she would also be cared for and loved by someone.
And now, after so many years, Sister Chuchu's whereabouts are still unknown, but the Su family has found a relative.
Ping'an County Lady Su Yujin became her cousin.
And because they found this cousin, my father, mother and brother seemed very happy.
As long as her father, mother and brother are happy, she is happy too.
Moreover, Sister Jin is excellent in everything, which makes people feel close to her, and she is also very happy.
Su Yunruo couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, "Tell me, when I go to Sister Jin's house with mother tomorrow, what should I bring for Sister Jin?"
"Didn't you give me a gift when you went there today?" Xiang Qiao was surprised. "It was a wild ginseng that I accidentally found a few years ago. It's hard to find in the world nowadays, but it's very valuable."
Su Yunruo shook her head. "Although the gift is valuable, it makes me seem distant. I have to give Sister Jin something to show my intimacy."
"Then..." Xiangqiao thought for a moment and glanced at the needlework basket beside her, "Handkerchief?"
The handkerchief with an embroidery frame in the basket was embroidered by Su Yunruo on the way to Qinghe. Although it was made to kill time, the material of the handkerchief was excellent. Su Yunruo even sighed while embroidering it, saying that it was the handkerchief with the best feel among all the ones she had embroidered in recent years, and she would only use this handkerchief in the future.
"That's fine. Although it's not a valuable item, it was embroidered by me personally. It's the best way to express friendship." Su Yunruo picked up the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, and smiled, "It's also embroidered with orchids. Sister Jin is elegant and graceful, like an orchid in the valley. It's most appropriate to give it to Sister Jin."
"But this handkerchief is still a long way from being finished..." Xiangqiao reminded.
"It's okay. I'll catch up in the evening and the rest will be almost done." While Su Yunruo was speaking, she picked up the needle and thread.
Xiangqiao saw this and wanted to open her mouth to remind her.
Su Yunruo was poisoned last year when she was attacked while transporting relief grains. Although the poison has been removed, she did not take a good rest as Doctor Su advised at the time, so she developed a chronic illness. Her eyes became unable to stay up late, and if she stayed up late for too long, her eyes would become red, swollen and tearful.
What's more, I've been traveling a lot these past few days and my sleep has been poor to begin with. If I stay up all night again...
But seeing how seriously Su Yunruo was embroidering, and thinking about how happy her young lady was when she mentioned Lady Ping'an, she swallowed all the words and went to light a few more lamps so that Su Yunruo could see more clearly.
The next day, after Su Yujin finished her breakfast, she welcomed the four members of the Su family.
The first thing I saw was Su Yunruo's slightly red and swollen eyes, and the dark bruises under her eyelids.
"What's wrong with Ruoruo? Didn't you sleep well last night?" After sitting down in the room, Su Yujin looked at Su Yunruo with some concern, "Are you still not feeling well?"
"Maybe it's because I suddenly changed places that I can't sleep. It's okay. I'm young and strong." Su Yunruo laughed and took out the handkerchief she had embroidered overnight. "This is a gift from me to Sister Jin. I wonder if Sister Jin likes it?"
Su Yujin took it and looked at it.
The handkerchief is made of excellent material, soft and comfortable, and the floral embroidery on it is excellent, and the color matching is also very beautiful.
"It looks good." Su Yujin looked up. "Did Ruoruo embroider it herself?"
"Yes." Su Yunruo said, "I embroidered it on the way here, and I wanted to give it to my sister."
Su Yujin pursed her lips.
If Su Yun had some skills, he would also be a cheerful and free-spirited person.
Originally, Su Yujin thought that Su Yunruo was a bit like Lu Wenjing, and was probably as carefree and unconcerned about details as her, but she never expected that her embroidery skills were also excellent.
And look at Su Yunruo's dark circles...
What do you mean by embroidering it on the way? I just finished it last night.
But she rushed to embroider it overnight...
Maybe it's because he values her so much?
"This handkerchief is well embroidered. I like it very much." Su Yujin felt warm in her heart and smiled, "Thank you Ruoruo."
"As long as Sister Jin likes it." Su Yunruo grinned.
Then her night was not spent in vain.
"After looking at the clothes embroidered by Ruoruo, why don't you also look at the ones made by Auntie?"
