Chapter 144: The awakened young embroiderer and the handsome and talented top scholar



Qingyin nodded without hesitation, "On the way to the academy later, take a look and see if there is anything you want to buy. I have money and I will buy it all for you."

Xie Jin: “…”

Some of the romantic thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Xie Jin raised the corners of his lips, "Can I buy anything?"

Now it was Qingyin's turn to feel a little unsure. "That's not the case. If it doesn't exceed ten taels of silver, it's still okay."

Hearing the ten taels of silver, Xie Jin's heart sank, "You're embroidering again?"

He had seen the embroidery on the table last night.

I've been thinking about how to find an opportunity to ask, and now is a good time.

"Just one, very quick." Qingyin explained in a low voice.

Xie Jin's dark eyes were filled with heartache. "Ayin, you promised me that you would not accept any embroidery work in the future."

Qingyin secretly blamed herself for being too complacent. If she had waited for him to return to the academy today and she had worked hard for a few days, this matter would not have been discovered.

Now...sigh...

"Are you blaming yourself for being too complacent and blurting out nonsense?" The boy's eyes were clear and his voice was silent for a moment.

She really thought so.

Xie Jin continued, "Are you still thinking that when I return to the academy, you will work day and night, and you will definitely be able to hide this matter before I come back next time?"

...She thought so too.

When Xie Jin saw Yan'er's silly look, he really wanted to grab her in his arms and give her a good lesson.

"Do you really not want the eyes anymore?"

Qingyin felt something was wrong. Who was the elder sister after all? She glared slightly, trying to maintain her elder sister's last dignity. "I will embroider for a while every day and then take a break. It won't be a problem."

Xie Jin's face was tense, and he stared at her intently.

If you use your toes to think, this moment is also an extremely long moment.

"Really... just..." Qingyin gestured with her hands, "Just a moment, Jin, I know my limits."

Xie Jin's breath was caught.

Sense of proportion?

If she had known her limits, she wouldn't have endured it to the end and almost gone blind.

If she had not happened to meet a miraculous doctor who was traveling in the area, she might have gone blind.

Qingyin also felt a little guilty, so she naturally concealed some things.

This birthday embroidery was needed urgently, so she only rested for a short while every day instead of embroidering for a short while.

At first, she really didn't want to accept it, but unfortunately... she really couldn't refuse it.

The imperial examination is about to come, and it will be a huge expense. Besides, she knows her own health well.

She must leave enough time during the day to look outside.

Moreover, after being busy these days, her eyes were at most a little swollen and sore.

As long as she's more careful, she'll be fine.

There was a hint of bitterness in Xie Jin's eyes. He knew that she worked so hard for him.

"Sister..." Xie Jin's voice became softer.

Qingyin smiled softly and said, "It's really fast. I'll be done with the embroidery in five days at most. I won't take it next time, okay?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but as soon as she did, Xie Jin's heart felt like someone was grabbing it tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

He shook his head, "No!" Then he stood up and went straight back to the room.

Qingyin pursed her lips, knowing that Ajin was worried about her.

But the embroidery was already half done and she had already received the deposit, so it was definitely impossible to return it now.

Just when she was thinking about whether to go and coax Xie Jin, Xie Jin came out of the room again with a purse in his hand. He handed the purse to Qingyin with some anticipation, "Ayin, I can make money now, so please don't... don't embroider anymore, okay?"

Qingyin was stunned when she saw the bulging wallet. Some bad thoughts flashed through her mind. "Where did you get the money?"

Xie Jin stuffed the wallet into Qingyin's hand and said, "Don't worry, this money is all legitimately earned."

Qingyin looked at the heavy silver in her hand, which was at least seventy or eighty taels. She was still a little unsure, "You, you...how come there is so much?"

Xie Jin lowered her eyes, her eyes stained with a touch of water, bright, "Sister, you just need to know that I will be able to support you in the future, and you don't have to do all those things for me anymore."

At the end of his words, Xie Jin smiled very gently, his eyes fixed on Qingyin.

Qingyin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and turned her head away slightly, "Well, I understand."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "It's not enough to just know it, you have to do it."

Qingyin was a little embarrassed. Who is the older sister?

She snorted, "I already know. Besides, even if you can make money now, Sister is still the head of the family."

"Yes, the head of the family."

Xie Jin continued in his heart: It belongs to me alone.

I always feel that the tone is a bit like coaxing a child, but the smile on the corner of the lips can't be suppressed. "Stop it, I'm serious."

Xie Jin nodded seriously, "I'm serious too, sister~" with a hint of tenderness at the end of her voice.

Qingyin blushed and pushed someone's face away with one hand, "Okay, go put the dishes in the kitchen, and I'll take you back to the academy later."

After saying that, he no longer looked at Xie Jin, and returned to the room with somewhat messy steps but pretending to be calm.

What a sin!

This brat.

Xie Jin cleaned up the dishes and went back to the kitchen, but he wouldn't just leave them there. He washed them one by one before leaving the kitchen and closing the door.

Qingyin actually didn't have anything to pack, she just hid the silver that Xie Jin gave her.

When I was about to go out, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the embroidery on the table.

She would continue to embroider the remaining unfinished parts.

After all, justice for the innocent is also justice for the innocent.

She had to get it back.

And on the other side.

Aunt Wu, who was imprisoned, was holding onto the door and crying out, "Sir, I am truly innocent!"

She couldn't understand why it turned out like this, as she just wanted to watch the fun.

A jailer whipped out a whip and slammed it against the door. "If you keep making such a noise, I'll whip you and you'll be in trouble."

Aunt Wu was startled and quickly stepped back.

Seeing that she was sensible, the jailer put away the whip and walked out slowly with lazy strides.

Once someone goes to prison, he will be a perpetrator to people outside, but to them, he is the God of Wealth.

Look, the God of Wealth is here.

"Why are you here?" the jailer flattered the visitor.

"Is Gao Yudian here?"

The jailer said quickly, "He just went out for something. He might be back soon. Why don't you go inside and wait for him?"

Mianhong nodded and asked, "Did they send another woman here today?"

"Yes, yes, he is inside. You must go and have a look." The jailer was very understanding.

Mianhong threw him a silver ingot. "That's troublesome. You know, this guy guards my dead man's stall every day, counting his money. I always feel a little uneasy."

The jailer nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I can see from his face that he has evil intentions. Your concern is normal."
