Without Song Jinyin in front of him, Pei Yanzhou's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Just looking at it can scare half of people out of their souls.
After his voice fell, just a moment later, Xuanwei brought a girl in. The girl's eyes were still full of inquiry, and she was so frightened by this mention that her face turned pale.
She just happened to see Song Ci and was so calmed by this handsome and extremely noble-looking man that she couldn't help but take a few glances.
"who?"
Cang Lin stepped forward and moved the sword in his hand, making the woman in front of him tremble again.
"The daughter of the people is the embroiderer of Jinyu Embroidery Workshop. She is the same as Song Ci..."
"Since I know Miss Song, why are you hiding?"
"My noble man, spare your life!"
Listening to the movement of the sword, the woman's forced composure was shattered, and she became increasingly annoyed at herself for meddling in her own business.
"People usually see Song Ci walking alone. When Leng Buding saw Song Ci in such a posture, he couldn't help but take a second look... But the people didn't hear anything, and she had absolutely no bad intentions!"
Pei Yanzhou's eyes finally fell from the embroidered building in the distance back to the face of the person in front of him.
The chill had not dissipated from his body, and even though his face was pale and a little weak, he still did not lose half of his momentum.
"Are you familiar with her?"
"Should, should not count."
The woman swallowed hard and finally shook her head honestly.
Not only were she and Song Ci unfamiliar, at first she thought she had no friends and almost made her a target.
It's just that she couldn't say this. Even if she was a fool, she could still tell that Song Ci, who was looking at him quietly, was not an ordinary person.
"Not familiar...that's a pity."
Pei Yanzhou turned around, his tone cold to the heart.
The woman was startled and felt that her neck was a little unstable. She hurriedly spoke again: "My lord, please forgive me. Song Ci has just entered the embroidery workshop and is not familiar with people. However, Song Ci and I are in the same room and our positions are very similar. And she and I have the same job, so we will definitely get to know each other!"
"really?"
The man didn't turn around, he just stopped and put his hand down again.
"It's true, it must be true! The civilian girl has been in the embroidery workshop for several years. I don't say she can definitely protect Song Ci, but she can definitely help and prevent others from bullying her!"
"Kurarin, write down her name."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Pei Yanzhou stepped onto the carriage without stopping.
But as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help coughing lightly. When he stopped, his thin lips that had lost their blood were already stained with bright red.
"You guys, who are you Song Ci? Why don't you let her know and want me to take care of her affairs?"
The voice of the woman outside was very low and cautious, as if she didn't dare to let him hear, and she was secretly asking Cang Rin.
Pei Yanzhou wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and leaned against the car wall, his beautiful features only showing a tired look.
"She is my unmarried wife."
The sound drifted out through the gap in the car curtain, and there was silence outside.
"I made her angry and she didn't want to see me, so I had to coax her slowly."
...
Song Jinyin walked faster step by step than before.
She didn't look back.
Thinking of Pei Yanzhou's expression when he asked her to leave, she thought that that person would probably not come looking for her again.
And what she said just now was not just to draw a clear line with him again.
Pei Yanzhou should have stayed in Kyoto. He should have a bright future. The achievements he has earned are worthy of his high position.
This has nothing to do with the entanglement between the two of them, nor does it have anything to do with whether he is Pei Yanzhou.
So at that moment, Song Jinyin was sincere.
"Sister Song Ci!"
As soon as she stepped into the embroidery workshop, Song Jinyin was stopped by the little girl guarding the door.
The little girl was holding two paper packages in her hands, with signs belonging to Linglong Pavilion on them.
"Sister, these are the cakes that person gave me just now, and these bracelets..."
Song Jinyin looked at the bracelet. It was a small thing that all the girls in the shop loved. It was beautiful in style and not too expensive.
"Since I gave it to you, you can wear it for fun, but don't let others know. Just say that it was a gift from my family."
"It's better for my sister to keep it."
The little girl lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
"I didn't want to accept it just now, but when I saw the pastries from Linglong Pavilion for the first time, I couldn't help but look at them. When I returned them, the person who gave them to me stopped taking them. I, I didn't mean to take them. My sister’s stuff.”
"This book is not mine, just keep it safely."
Song Jinyin smiled.
The Xuanwei outside, no matter who handed it over, would never take it back.
However, these books are nothing. If she insists on returning the things, she will be fussy and care too much.
"Then, is that man really my sister's cousin? That man is good-looking, but he looks weird and scary! But he looks like he is very rich, richer than the rich people who set up sheds to give porridge a few days ago. "
"Well... forget it, you may not even know a distant cousin if you walk down the street."
Song Jinyin hesitated, but still nodded.
It's best not to meet each other again in the future. If you do see them, it's best to treat them as strangers and don't get involved again.
Just as he was talking, Lian Xiang came in from outside, holding two pieces of macaroons wrapped in candy.
"It's so cold outside, and I'm still standing in the wind talking. It's so heartbreaking."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lianxiang suddenly felt annoyed and coughed twice, "I didn't say what you meant, just...forget it, when do you plan to go to the Prefect's Mansion? Xin Xiuzhang Say you are cowardly, let me go with you."
After a pause, Lianxiang seemed to think of something, her expression changed again, and she was slightly stunned.
She must have made a mistake.
The man just now was full of dignity in his gestures, and he was more imposing than any other prefect she had ever seen.
When he was put in front of her, she didn't even dare to think about clinging to him.
If such a person were the husband-in-law of that girl Song Ci, how could Song Ci be an unaccompanied and unknown master!
And this girl dares to lose her temper with such a powerful person. Thinking about it, her excuse of not wanting to go to the prefect's mansion to deal with nobles is just a lazy excuse.
Thinking of this, Lianxiang was sweating, and when the cold wind blew, she shuddered subconsciously.
She indeed had no ill intentions towards Song Ci, but she did have the intention of taking advantage of him in the beginning.
Fortunately, she was lucky, and she didn't respond to this naive girl. Otherwise, if she had been caught by that noble man just now, she might not even be able to step through the door of the embroidery workshop now!
"Sister Lianxiang?"
Song Jinyin raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and her voice sounded again and again.
Lianxiang suddenly came back to her senses.
"Ah, listen, tell me."
Realizing that her smile was a little stiff, Lianxiang slowed down, but her thoughts drifted away again.
After all, she is not Xiuxiu. She shows up everywhere and just wants to find a powerful master.
In her opinion, a powerful man's wife depends on his status. If he marries a rich family and becomes a concubine, that will be the end of his life. It is better to gain some skills and earn some fame.
Therefore, she looked down on Xiuxiu, but she was also annoyed with her for pretending to be powerful by relying on Xin Xiuzhang to back her up. She even resented her for competing with her for the attention of the Xiu Xiu masters.
Until Song Ci came in on the first day.
At first glance, she felt that this girl should be able to make Xiuxiu unable to lift her head.
Unexpectedly, this could not suppress Xiuxiu from raising her head, but could suppress the entire embroidery workshop from speaking loudly.
Fortunately, she values herself the most, and is very quick to take advantage of and stop her actions, without really offending anyone or causing a big disaster.
The girl in front of her was talking about her plans, her voice was soft and soft, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, people couldn't help but take a closer look.
Just remembering the man just now in her mind, Lianxiang suddenly felt that she didn't dare to respond to the call.
"You, have you planned to go tomorrow?"
"Um."
Song Jinyin curved her lips and smiled without any further hesitation.
"If it doesn't snow tomorrow, we'll go there tomorrow. Let's start early and have a good morning."
"Then it's settled."
Lianxiang took steps and was about to enter the house, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Song Ci still standing there, so she simply reached out and tugged on her sleeves.
"Still standing here, if I am blown away, will I still be able to go tomorrow?"
"Wait a minute, Sister Lianxiang, I still have something to say to the little girl..."
Song Jinyin thought of Xin Xiuzhang's words and knew that Lian Xiang in front of her must have received her instructions.
It's just that she was not used to Lian Xiang's rather fierce attention for a while, so when she responded, her voice became a little softer.
"You, you say, you just say..."
The lotus scent loosened its grip, but before she finished speaking, there was a lot of movement from the back door.
Several people looked up and saw Xiu Xiu with an angry look on his face.
The left side of the visitor's face was still slightly red and swollen, which was quite eye-catching, but his pace was approaching them. To be precise, he was approaching Song Jinyin.
"Song Ci, you, a little girl who has just entered the embroidery workshop, how dare you take advantage of my absence and play tricks behind my back to steal my job?"
Song Jinyin kept her eyes on the red and swollen half of her face. Seeing her approaching menacingly, she protected her stomach and backed away.
"What are you looking at?"
Realizing that several people were staring at her red and swollen face, Xiuxiu raised her hands to cover her face, her eyes widening even more.
"Okay, you silent little girl. I asked you to take over the job but you didn't take it. You turned around and plotted behind your back. I want to come and take a closer look. You are a powerless girl. Just with this How can a spring shirt that everyone knows how to make fit the girl of the prefect’s mansion!”
When Lianxiang looked at Xiuxiu, her eyes changed from jealousy to disgust, and then to a moment of pity at this moment. She suddenly felt that her fight with her in the past few years was somewhat unsightly.
"What's the noise about?"
She couldn't bear to speak and rolled her eyes at Xiuxiu.
"The embroidery shop will not do loss-making business. If you are really capable, are you afraid of missing this spring shirt?"
"What does it have to do with you!"
"Originally, it's none of my business, but Xin Xiuzhang asked me to do this job together with Song Ci. Do you think it's a coincidence or not?"
Before Xiuxiu could say anything, she was instantly squeezed back into her stomach by Lianxiang.
She pointed her finger at the two of them. Being blocked like this, her scolding momentum suddenly became weaker.
"Well, Song Ci, have you found a helper now? But do you think that by taking away my job and working with Lianxiang, you can really make a name for yourself? Don't even look at it..."
"Should I take your job?"
Song Jinyin looked at her and suddenly chuckled.
