Liu received the contract to sell her body, and the people in the mansion called her Miss Liu instead of Aunt Liu. After the matter was settled, Gu Yong was also about to leave for Beijing, so he asked Liu to pack up her things early.
Liu looked at the house with worry. How could she live there for more than ten years and suddenly have to leave? She was somewhat reluctant to leave. But she also knew that if she stayed in the Shen family, she would be tortured by the Song family. It would be better to do as Qiu'er said and go out to pursue a career.
Thinking of this, Liu bit her lip. As long as her daughter followed her, anything was fine.
Shen Qingqiu was also packing his things. He didn't need to pack anything else, but he must not forget to prepare a parting gift for the Song family when he left.
"Seventh Miss, these are the new shoes I made. Do you think they fit your feet?"
Shen Qingqiu turned around and saw Ah Xiu holding a pair of finely embroidered shoes, with a few plump cherries sewn on the slant, which looked pretty and lovely.
"Miss Xiu's craftsmanship is really good." Liu praised.
Shen Qingqiu tried them on, and it felt like he was walking on clouds. The shoes were light, but it didn't hurt to step on the ground. They were really comfortable. Ah Xiu lowered her head and said, "I used to sew shoes and clothes for my parents in my hometown..." Then she looked at Liu, "Miss Liu, I heard that you are leaving?"
Liu nodded.
"What about Master Yang?"
Liu said, "Cousin will come with us."
After this incident, Yang Xiucai's mind was now on studying. If he wanted to pass the imperial examination, it would be better to live under the emperor's rule. He could find a good teacher in the capital. Although he was thirty years old, he was not too old if he passed the imperial examination.
Ah Xiu bit her lip, looking like she was worried. Although she had not lived here for long, Liu could see that Ah Xiu was a good girl. "You can stay with me first. After what happened, your cousin has no time to settle you down." Ah Xiu was relieved and looked at Liu gratefully.
"Pack your things quickly, we'll be leaving in the afternoon." Liu said gently.
Ah Xiu didn't say anything else and hurried back to the house to pack up.
It was not until the afternoon that the carriage was ready and Li Biao arrived.
"Miss Liu, the carriage is waiting in the backyard. If it's ready, we can set off now." The Marquis hadn't had a woman by his side for so many years, so Li Biao was very considerate. "Miss, if you need anything, or if you're bored on the way, I can find someone to sing for you."
Liu quickly refused, saying that she herself was an opera singer, so how could she be called a singer?
"I see that Master Lin acts like a master in front of others, but just now..." Mother Chen couldn't help complaining after getting on the carriage. Speaking of those who serve the Marquis, everyone has to flatter him. Here, Li Biao is more popular than Shen Bin.
"Like a eunuch?" Shen Qingqiu asked.
Mother Chen quickly covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say that..." But after a while she started laughing.
Liu was originally very worried about leaving her hometown, but she felt a little relieved when she saw the two of them like this. The carriage was about to leave, and Shen Bin and Song did not need to see Liu off, but they had to see Gu off respectfully. As the wheels of the carriage moved, the person inside gently knocked on the wall of the carriage.
Shen Qingqiu jumped down from the carriage.
"There's something I forgot, stepmother." Shen Qingqiu said.
Song felt a chill in her heart, and she had a hunch that this was not a good thing.
But Shen Qingqiu smiled: "The Marquis is surrounded by men, and no one has been waiting on me and my mother along the way. Mother Chen is also old. Could it be that the Shen family is unwilling to send even a servant?"
When Song heard this, her eyebrows relaxed. It was not a big deal to have a servant to serve her. "Go to the mansion and hire a few maids..." Before she finished speaking, Shen Qingqiu said, "The journey is long and the sky is high. When we arrive in the capital, we will be strangers. We must choose someone we know to go with us."
It is reasonable.
"Among the servants in my courtyard, Jin Cai is the only one I can use easily. Let's choose her."
Hearing this, Song couldn't help but look up. She wanted Jin Cai, she clearly knew that Jin Cai was hers? Song was suspicious, but at this moment, she naturally had no right to refuse. Soon, she asked someone to bring Jin Cai up. Shen Qingqiu didn't say much. After Jin Cai was arranged to get on the carriage, she also sat in the carriage and left quietly.
