"Oh!" After sighing deeply, Wang stood up, hid the silver, and only took ten taels with her. She originally wanted to buy three sets of formal clothes for her daughter, and a set of jewelry, but now it seems... just one set of formal clothes will be enough for her first.
When you go to Qian's house, you will have everything.
"Ruxin, let's go out for a walk."
Of course Zhao Ruxin was willing. She wanted to go out beautifully every day. She was already feeling aggrieved enough that there was no wedding banquet.
"Mother, I want to buy silk clothes and jewelry."
My mother has over a hundred taels in her hand. It would be a bit too much to buy her a piece of gold worth a hundred taels, right? All the money was earned from selling her body.
"Ruxin, Mr. Qian told your father that he has prepared some fine jewelry for you, so we just need to buy some clothes. What he prepared are all good things, and we won't be able to wear them even if we buy them now."
"Really?"
Wang nodded with certainty. Now she can only deceive her daughter, but the Qian family is so rich that they will definitely not treat her daughter badly in terms of food and clothing.
Zhao Ruxin still trusted Wang very much. She put her arm around Wang's arm and said, "Then let's buy a set first, okay!"
Wang felt a little uncomfortable. How could such a simple girl really survive in a place like that? God bless her and she must be well and give birth to a son or daughter for the Qian family as soon as possible.
Wang took her to the best clothing store in the county. Ten taels of silver were enough to buy her a nice set of clothes.
"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Wang family? Are you here to buy some clothes?"
The county town is so small, and by some luck I met Mrs. Wu who was taking her daughter shopping for clothes.
"Sister Ruxin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
Zhao Ruxin didn't want to pay attention to her. This girl who was as close to her as a real sister was the one who turned against her the fastest after their family fell into poverty.
Zhao Ruxin ignored her and was not angry. "Sister Ruxin, are you here to buy clothes? Auntie, did you come to the wrong place? The coarse cloth shop opposite is the one you should go to."
She looked at the two people's clothes with disdain. The young lady and wife of the scholar's family were not even dressed as well as the servants in their family. She felt ashamed for a shabby man to talk to them.
It felt very uncomfortable to be looked down upon. Zhao Ruxin bit her lip and clenched her fist, trying her best to endure it.
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? Your Aunt Wang can't afford it and she doesn't allow people to come and see it. Sister, don't pay attention to this girl, she just speaks quickly and likes to tell the truth."
Wang almost couldn't hold it back. The old bitch and the little bitch had really stinky mouths. They must have eaten shit before leaving.
Zhao Ru wanted to quarrel, but she was afraid that they would know that she went to Qian's house to be a concubine, so she could only endure it.
After she gets married, she will ask the master to deal with the Wu family. They are just merchants with no power or influence. Compared with the Qian family, they are really nothing.
"Mom, we are gone!"
Her good mood about buying clothes was gone. Without deciding to buy anything, Zhao Ruxin pulled Wang out of the shop quickly. There is not only one clothing store in the county town, you can just go to another one.
It's so rare that I meet them every time I go out. It's so unlucky.
"Ruxin, you did a good job yesterday." Wang patted her daughter's hands with satisfaction. She seemed to have really grown up. She did not quarrel with them on the spot, but endured it.
"In the future, the Qian family should remember to learn to be patient, stay low, and don't show off. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, don't you know? The one who shows off the most is the one who suffers the most."
"Mom, I understand." She knew that her mother was doing this for her own good. She was leaving home the next day, so whatever her mother said was the truth. She didn't want to argue any more.
After buying the clothes, they went home immediately. Zhao Ruxin did not feel happy at all. It wasn't that she liked shopping in that shop, and she also met some nasty people. In short, her mood was affected and she was not very happy.
Wang bought chicken, meat and a fish in the evening, and she was determined to give her daughter a good meal.
For lunch, we had noodles made of white flour, and Wang also gave us two eggs.
"Mom, white noodles are so delicious." Looking at her daughter eating the delicious noodles, Wang felt sad. Last year, they ate fine grains for every meal, but at that time they didn’t think they were that delicious. Now I have found a rare good thing in their house.
Life is so hard, and raising two sons is also very difficult.
"Ruxin, you have to think about your mother's family even though you have entered the Qian family, don't you understand? Your two younger brothers are going to take the imperial examinations, and only if they are doing well can you be well. Only if they are doing well will the Qian family not dare to treat you badly. From now on, they will be your backers and support you for the rest of your life, don't you understand?"
Zhao Ru's eyes were spinning. Yes, she could only be well if her brothers were well. She was a concubine, her words carried little weight, and her only support was her parents' family. She also didn't understand why my mother told her all this, it was just for the money.
"Mom, don't worry. If there is any difficulty at home, I will definitely help. My brother is not a teacher. If there is any difficulty at home, I will definitely help if I can."
Wang held her hand and said, "Mother knows you are a good child, Ruxin, I really can't bear to leave you."
Zhao Ruxin: ...
She really didn't feel any reluctance to leave, she was just dissatisfied with being a concubine.
The word "concubine" made her feel ashamed.
The family had a good reunion dinner together in the evening. No one knew when they would be able to get together again after the next day, because she couldn't even go back to her parents' home whenever she wanted. She needed her wife's approval before she could step out of the backyard.
Mr. Zhao was very satisfied with the dinner, and so were the three children. They had not even remembered how long it had been since they had eaten such delicious food.
"At home, the food here is so good, go get me some wine, and I'll have a drink too."
Wang really wanted to slap him in the face. What was so worth drinking? What a heartless guy! Why would he be happy about his daughter becoming his concubine?
Every time she saw the Wu family, she wanted to dig a hole in the ground. These people didn't even know what was going on in their family. If they knew, she would really want to dig a hole in the ground.
"Go now!"
Wang really didn't want to move, so she gave the money to her son and said, "Jiadong, go get some wine from the small shop in front."
"Ai!"
