Chapter 2 Think on the bright side
Qin Tian hurriedly covered her mouth, looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Don't say anything, don't say anything!"
Xiaomei took a closer look at the robe, her face turned pale: "It seems to be a new dress made by Concubine Li. I saw her wearing it in the garden, and I heard that she likes it very much..." She trembled all over: "No way. , No, I'm going to tell Mother Song, otherwise, they will definitely think we broke it!" The more she thought about it, the more frightened her voice trembled, "Last time, a maid just broke a teacup of the aunt, and she was killed by the aunt. She sold it after hitting 20 big boards, and I don't know what dirty land it sold for. If she thought we washed her clothes badly, we would also be sold by her..."
Saying that, she stood up and staggered, "I'm going to tell Mother Song..."
Qin Tian held her tightly and whispered, "Xiaomei, calm down, don't tell Mama Song, will Mama Song believe you?"
Xiaomei looked down at her, "You...what do you mean..."
Qin Tian stood up, picked up the dress, looked around first, made sure that no one was there, then walked to Xiaomei's side, took her hand, and said in a low voice, "Think about it, we've been in for so long, what are you doing? Have you washed your master's clothes? Why did Miss Ling'er suddenly bring Concubine Li's clothes to wash?"
Xiaomei has no masters, "Why...why..."
Qin Tian lifted the clothes in his hands, "Because this clothes have long been broken, they are afraid of being blamed by Li Yiniang, so they brought it here to find a scapegoat!"
The rough maid in the laundry room has a low status and no one to rely on. She is the perfect substitute for a dead ghost!
"For...for the dead ghost...!" Xiaomei's face changed greatly, she took a few steps back, "No, I want to tell Mama Song, I haven't touched this dress, I didn't make it!"
Qin Tian took a few steps forward and held her tightly: "It's useless, why did Mother Song hand over the clothes to us to wash? Why did she take A Gui and A Fu away? Because she had already guessed that there was something wrong with the clothes, so she made up her mind. Let us be blamed!"
"What?" Xiaomei stared at Qin Tian blankly, her face pale, "What did you say?"
Qin Tian pulled her back a little and let her sit down on a small black tumbler. She slowed down, "think about it, who is Miss Ling'er? She is the big maid beside Concubine Li. We Who are we? We are the lowest-ranking servant girls of the Zhuang family. Miss Linger came here to look for a scapegoat. Will Mama Song go to the right of Miss Linger for us? Just by looking at her taking Agui and Afu away, it is enough. I can see that she wants to use us to please the perfect Linger girl..."
A Gui is the daughter-in-law of Song's mother who has never been there. A-Fu usually flatters Song's mother. She has a good relationship with Song's mother. Song's mother sent them away because she didn't want them to be involved in this matter.
Xiaomei also slowly came to understand these
"Then we are dead..." Xiaomei was stunned for a while, then she covered her face and cried, "I don't want to be sold to the kiln..."
Seeing her so worried, Qin Tian held her hand to comfort: "Don't worry, don't worry..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaomei suddenly raised her head and stared straight at Qin Tian with a strange look in her eyes.
Qin Tian looked at her and felt bad.
Sure enough, in the next second, Xiaomei pushed Qin Tian away, stood up, pointed at her and said loudly, "I never touched that dress, you broke it, it's none of my business! I'll go right now. Tell Mama Song that you broke it!"
"Xiaomei..." Qin Tian also stood up, looked at her with a sullen face, and said softly, "You clearly know that this is not the case."
Xiaomei's face changed,
She and Qin Tian were sold into the banker together. In the past month, the two worked together, ate together, and slept together. Qin Tian always listened to her complaints and complaints with a smile, and sometimes helped her with her work, when she When she was fined without food, Qin Tian would secretly leave some food for her
Qin Tian treats her well...
Xiaomei looks ashamed
However, if you don't pass the matter to Qin Tian, you will be sold together, obviously it's not her doing... If things are really unavoidable, then it's better to die alone than to die for two...
Thinking of this, Xiaomei hardened her heart again and said coldly, "I have never touched that dress. It was damaged by your hands, who knows if you broke it!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at her, so he turned around and left.
"Xiaomei, this can't solve the problem!" Qin Tian looked at her back and said coldly, "You can put the blame on me, and I can also put the blame on you, there is no one else here, except us. I don't know the truth. When asked from above, could it be useful for us to pass the buck on each other? It turned out that the two of us were punished together!"
"You...!" Xiaomei stopped, turned her head and stared at Qin Tian, her face changed, and finally she was crying again, stunned there.
Qin Tian looked at her like this and sighed softly,
It is human nature to protect oneself in endangered situations. Although she cannot agree with her behavior, she will not blame her at this time. The main thing now is to fix the problem, not useless accusations.
What's more, when this body is sick, only Xiaomei is by her side to take care of her... Otherwise, even if she passes through, she may not survive.
She walked up to Xiaomei and looked into her eyes, her eyes were filled with sorrow and pity, she said softly, "Xiaomei, I can understand your mood, just as you don't want to be sold, neither do I, we are both Poor people, look at other people's faces every day and do things. Any mistake can make us unlucky. Only we can take care of each other. Are we going to hurt each other now? In this situation, it is not to shirk responsibility It can solve the problem, the master is angry, it makes no difference whether to sell one or two, neither of us should try to escape!"
Xiaomei seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength and squatted down, "Then what should we do?"
"First of all, we have to calm down, don't panic, and don't make trouble." Qin Tian also squatted down beside her, tilted his head for a while, and said, "Miss Linger said she would come to pick up clothes in two days, then We have to make good use of these two days, and we must not let things go!"
Seeing her so calm, Xiaomei felt some hope in her heart. She raised her head and grabbed Qin Tian's clothes tightly, "Qin Tian, have you thought of a solution?"
Qin Tian frowned and shook his head,
Xiaomei was discouraged and let go of her clothes, "That's not a dead end!" The voice was crying
Qin Tian smiled, and the shallow little pear vortex floated on this fifteen or sixteen-year-old face, which looked very cute.
"Xiaomei, don't be discouraged, you have to think about the good side. Fortunately, we found out earlier, otherwise, if you were a little careless and waited until Miss Ling'er came to find out, there would be no way!"
Xiaomei wiped her tears, looked at her and snorted, "You can still laugh!"
"Crying doesn't help. I feel better and my brain is brighter!" Qin Tian smiled and held her hand, "Let's stop talking about this, now that the work is done, we will have the strength to think about the problem after breakfast. !"
Perhaps it was Qin Tian's words that played a role, and Xiaomei didn't complain anymore. Together with Qin Tian, she finished the work that was supposed to be done in the morning.
Qin Tian put away the clothes first, so that no one could see it. The two ate breakfast together, and then hid in the room to discuss the matter secretly.
The two sat on the wooden bed, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, whispering softly.
"Would you like to mend this small hole?" Xiaomei carefully looked at the torn in the dress, where a hibiscus petal was embroidered. All kinds of silk threads are embroidered with flowers, the stitches are neat and tidy, and the layers are distinct. Even Qin Tian, who does not understand embroidery, has to admit that this is a very good embroiderer. Can also imagine how expensive and hard-earned this dress is.
It must be Li Yiniang's favorite, otherwise, Ling'er would not have to look for a scapegoat.
"Are you good at needlework and embroidery?" Qin Tian pointed to the key
Xiaomei was immediately discouraged, almost furious, "If I knew that, would I still be doing laundry here?"
Qin Tian pursed his lips and smiled,
Xiaomei looked at her smiling face, lost her anger again, lowered her head, and sighed heavily: "Then what should we do? We have only been in the dealer for a month, and there is no one to trust in the sewing room."
Qin Tian motioned for her to look at the embroiderer, "I'm afraid that the sewing room won't be able to make up for such exquisite embroidery. If it's not done well, I'm afraid it will anger the aunt even more, and it will make us more guilty!"
While speaking, the sound of magpies suddenly came from outside the window, Qin Tian's heart moved slightly, she stood up, walked to the window, and saw a few magpies jumping happily on the rubble of the opposite house.
The chirping sound is very heartwarming.
Qin Tian's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at Xiaomei, who was frowning, and smiled happily: "I think of a way, maybe it will work!"
