With Miss Ding's order, Shi Lingyin did not dare to embarrass Xi Jin anymore, but Xi Jin was not willing to stay in the workshop.
Shi Lingyin already regarded her as a thorn in his side, and he would have to wear small shoes for her later.
Her purpose of coming to the workshop had been achieved, and now her medical skills were somewhat famous in the village. She couldn't bear to watch Shi Lingyin's expression in the workshop.
"Miss Ding, the workshop is noisy. For such a big thing as making clothes for General Gu, the women need a quiet place. Please allow Miss Ding to allow the women to go home and make clothes for General Gu."
Ding Xiyu looked at the people in the workshop, understood in her heart, and nodded in agreement: "Then you can go back to making clothes."
Ding Xiyu said and handed Xi Jin a token: "This is the token from the Governor's Mansion. After you make the clothes, send it to the Governor's Mansion."
"Thank you, Miss Ding." Xi Jin accepted the token and said, "A commoner woman has another unkind request."
"Please tell me." Ding Xiyu said politely.
"Lan'er is good at tailoring, and I would like to ask Miss Ding's permission to work with me to make clothes for General Gu."
After what happened just now, if she left, Shi Lingyin would definitely embarrass Lan'er, and she would have to take Lan'er away with her.
Ding Xiyu turned back and glanced at the village chief's wife: "I think the village chief's wife will definitely agree, right?"
The village chief's wife rolled her eyes and immediately smiled: "Of course, thanks to General Gu's consideration, our workshop can give everyone a chance to survive. We will do our best to make clothes for General Gu."
"That's good." Ding Xiyu winked at Xi Jin, "Then I'll wait for you to bring me clothes!"
"A common woman obeys your orders." Xi Jin leaned over and saluted.
As soon as Ding Xiyu left, Xi Jin and Lan'er packed their things and left the workshop without saying a word.
Shi Lingyin was so angry that she jumped behind her: "Mom, look at her proud look, it's really annoying."
"Why don't you think it's embarrassing if you don't say a few words!" The village chief's wife glanced at her daughter with disgust, "You have no eyesight."
Shi Lingyin quickly followed in her mother's footsteps: "But it wasn't you who said you wanted Xie Luo to be my husband."
The village chief's wife nodded her daughter's head: "Are you stupid? Who asked you to steal someone's husband openly? You wouldn't think of a way to let Xie Luo divorce Mu Xijin. Divorce your wife and remarry. We won't either. It will leave others with something to talk about.”
After hearing this, Shi Lingyin immediately put a smile on his face: "Mom, do you have any good ideas?"
"We have to take a long-term approach to this matter. This Mu Xijin looks like he is not a simple master. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
The village chief's wife recalled that she had met Mu Xijin several times, and she always gave people the impression that she was so smart that it was confusing.
At first, she thought she came to the workshop to earn wages like everyone else.
But today I saw her leaving just as she wanted, obviously not caring about the wages in the workshop, so what was her purpose?
Xi Jin couldn't care less about how the village chief's wife plotted against her behind her back.
The appearance of Ding Xiyu today gave Xi Jin a glimmer of new hope.
Xi Jin held the token in his hand, with complex emotions welling up in his heart...
"Sister Jin, why do you look so worried?" Lan'er followed Xi Jin in confusion. She still hasn't reacted.
"Lan'er." Xi Jin took her hand, "Do you regret coming out with me?"
"How could it be? I believe in Sister Jin. Sister Jin is so smart and you must have your own reasons for doing things." Lan'er said with great trust and admiration.
Xi Jin took out the purse in his sleeve, which contained a full ten taels of silver. Xi Jin gave half of it to Lan'er: "Get the deposit, and the next thing to do is to quickly make General Gu's clothes."
"So much!" Lan'er didn't know how difficult it was to make money until she came to Yazhou.
In the past, in the Lin Mansion, even though she and her mother were not valued by the clan, the monthly money was enough for them.
But after coming to Yazhou, she and her mother earned every penny from their wages and sewed clothes non-stop every day to barely make ends meet.
Now she suddenly got five taels of silver, which was five thousand Wen. How many clothes did she and her mother have to sew to earn so much money?
"Take it if it's given to you. Believe me, we can make more money without the workshop."
Since General Gu likes her embroidery, she must seize this opportunity.
Not only must he make a fortune through this, but he must also try to get acquainted with General Gu, hoping to find out the truth about Shangguan Bao's assassination from him.
On this day, Xi Jin and Lan'er were busy all day.
It wasn't until sunset, when Xie Luo came back from work, that Xi Jin realized it was getting late and it was time for her to cook.
Lan'er saw this and stood up quickly: "Brother Xie is back. Sister Jin, I'll go back first. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Xie Luo put down the snack in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Why did you get the clothes back today? Why bother working so hard? I told you that you don't have to worry about money, I will find a way."
"Miss Ding asked me to make this. I gave her a deposit of ten taels!" Xi Jin put away the needle and thread on hand and said proudly.
"You're a little money addict, ten taels of silver is worth all your troubles."
Xie Luo said, washed his hands, opened the snack and handed it to Xi Jin's mouth: "You can try the new hibiscus cake in town first to satisfy your stomach, and I will cook."
"No, no, I'll come. Just now Lan'er taught me how to make a kind of pasta. I want to try it."
Xi Jin stopped Xie Luo and sat him down on a stool: "You have worked hard in the army, so sit down and rest."
Xie Luo watched Xi Jin put on her apron and held her slim waist tightly. The moment she lowered her eyes, a strand of broken hair fell on her face. The light of the setting sun shone in from the window, making her even more gentle and charming.
Xie Luo felt warm in his heart: "Jin'er, you seem to be a little different today?"
Xi Jin raised his eyes and pointed at the coral necklace around his neck: "Is it because I'm wearing a necklace?"
"Where did you get the necklace?" He had indeed never seen her wearing this necklace. "And why is your face so fair today?"
"That's not because of you!" Xi Jin told Xie Luo everything that happened today while making peace with him.
"So that's it. It's me who has burdened you and made you feel wronged."
Xie Luo stood up and walked to Xi Jin's side, reaching out to brush the flour off her face: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to the workshop to work, I don't want you to work hard every day."
"It's nothing. I've seen many people like Shi Lingyin when I was in the capital."
Xi Jin didn't take it seriously. Compared with her sister, Shi Lingyin was just a drop in the bucket. She was just too lazy to deal with it.
"But Miss Ding really impressed me. Before this, I heard rumors about her that she was fat and fat. I didn't expect her to be so straightforward and cute. You really saved the right person."
"Jin'er, speaking of Miss Ding, I have something to tell you." Xie Luo said.
"you say."
"I accidentally saved Miss Ding that day. Later, Vice General Liang came to me and said he could give me a reward."
"Oh? What did he reward you for?"
"I asked him for the pass to the back mountain." Xie Luo said seriously.
When Xi Jin heard this, his men paused, and the smile on his face froze...
Xi Jin had mixed feelings for a moment, and turned to stare at Xie Luo, but didn't know how to speak?
"I have long promised to take you to see Shangguanba, but to go to the back mountain, you have to bypass the school grounds. I have been thinking of a way these days. This time, Vice General Liang and I said that I would take you to the back mountain to see the scenery, and he Agreed. I thought I would tell you when you were free one day, but now that you don’t want to go to work, why don’t we go tomorrow?”
"Tomorrow?" Xi Jin felt nervous for no reason. His hands holding the dough tightened, and tears fell into the basin unknowingly.
Xie Luo reached out and held Xi Jin's shoulders: "Jin'er, you have to face some things. Maybe after meeting him, you can untie the knot in your heart."
"Okay." Xi Jin nodded, with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Xie Luo."
Xie Luo stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and said with a wry smile: "Jin'er, you are so smart, how could you not know my selfish intentions."
