Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath
Chapter 11 How did you find me?
Su Qin didn't realize she was being pitied. She was still wondering what to do next when Zhao Liangchen stopped in front of a cloth shop. He jumped out of the carriage and said to Su Qin, "Get down."
Su Qin poked her head out and looked around suspiciously: "Are we there yet?"
Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "No, the teacher lives alone and there is a lack of everything there. I have to buy you some daily necessities."
Su Qin thought about it and it made sense. She only had a few worn-out clothes and a torn quilt, so she really needed to buy new ones.
She said, "Wait a minute."
She got back into the carriage and took out a jar of pickled vegetables from a bundle in the pot. She opened the jar and carefully took out a cloth bag, muttering to herself, "I'm sorry, grandmother. I'm in Shangjing City. My father is in trouble. I need some money to live. I have no choice but to spare you."
She put down the cloth bag, rummaged in the jar again, took out a silver note and put it in her bosom, then put the cloth bag back and rewrapped the jar.
This was the money she had hidden. In fact, she realized something was wrong when the flood was about to come. At that time, she was fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard. She saw a lot of ants moving and mice running around, and she knew it was going to rain heavily.
She didn't know how heavy the rain would be, but she subconsciously prepared for it and asked the servants in her house to buy more food, urgently needed medicine, and firewood.
At that time, she didn't know that there would be a flood, but she was afraid that the rain would be too heavy to go out, so she stocked up on some emergency supplies.
But later the rain got heavier and heavier. She felt something was wrong, so she asked her grandmother to pack up the valuables in the house and asked the servants to make all the food into dry food. By the time she was ready, the water had risen. She had no choice but to divide all the things among everyone, with each person carrying a little on their backs. She also took down a few door panels and asked everyone to hold on to them.
She was afraid that the things on her back would get wet or damaged, so she carried a big pot to protect them. The flood came so quickly that she didn't have time to give any instructions before it flooded into the yard and washed everyone away. Fortunately, she held on to the door panel and placed her grandmother on it. In this way, the two of them floated in the flood for many days.
The dry food she carried was gradually eaten up. Her grandmother, who was in poor health, was frightened, and was caught in the rain, fell ill. Although she had medicine, it was of no use to her seriously ill grandmother. In the end, her grandmother did not survive and died. She stayed alone with her grandmother's body until the water receded. She cremated her grandmother, found a large group of refugees, and followed them north. Fortunately, the silver, money, and gold and silver jewelry in the house were saved, otherwise she really didn't know how she would make a living in the future.
Seeing Su Qin coming down, Zhao Liangchen entered the shop first. Someone in the shop greeted him warmly: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Zhao Liangchen: "What kind of fabrics are used to make bedding and clothes for girls?"
The shopkeeper knew this was a wealthy customer: "Immediately and enthusiastically introduced, sir, here are all fabrics suitable for girls. It depends on what kind of fabric you need. Here are satins, silk, brocade, cotton and linen at all prices."
Zhao Liangchen thought for a moment and said, "Let's get some good ones."
Su Qin, who followed in, immediately stopped him: "No need, I want cotton."
Although she had some savings, it was not much. Su Jijing was not a greedy person. The silver and money he sent back to his hometown every year was in cash. Although his hometown also had some land to collect rent, it was not much. Her grandmother was able to save a few thousand taels. This money was a huge sum in the countryside, but it was not enough to be spent in the capital. It could not last for a few days.
She will have no income in the future, so she will have to increase income and reduce expenditure.
Zhao Liangchen thought she had no money so he said, "It's okay. As a girl, you should have good things. I'll pay for it."
He thought she wouldn't be able to use any good things in the countryside, so he wanted to buy her some good things.
Su Qin shook her head: "I have money, you don't need to pay. I don't think it's necessary to buy good ones. Cotton is very comfortable. Besides, it would be strange to use too good clothes in my current status. It will arouse other people's suspicion."
Zhao Liangchen felt that she was just trying to show off. It was a miracle for a person who was washed away by the flood to survive, so how could she possibly have money?
So he advised: "Don't worry about it. You helped me take care of the teacher, so I should pay you. These fabrics are my payment for your wages."
The shopkeeper also chimed in: "Yes, young lady, since this gentleman is paying, you should use the better ones."
Su Qin didn't want to receive too much favor from Zhao Liangchen, so she said with a gloomy face: "If you don't do as I say, you don't have to buy it."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Zhao Liangchen quickly stopped her and sighed helplessly: "I'll listen to you."
Su Qin was relieved and asked the shopkeeper with a smile: "Shopkeeper, could you please get me some cotton cloth?"
The shopkeeper went to get the cloth in disappointment. There were not many types of cotton cloth and few colors. Su Qin chose some elegant soft cloth. She was very good at needlework and she had learned it with great effort.
Her mother died of complications during childbirth, and Su Jijing had no time to take care of her, but he did not abandon her either. He invited a famous teacher from Shangjing City and sent her to his hometown to teach her. The original owner studied very hard.
After she came here, she studied very seriously. She did not have the idea that other time-traveling women looked down on ancient women who only knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. She cherished learning every skill. She felt that since she had changed her environment, she should adapt to the local customs and integrate into this society as soon as possible, and not try to be eccentric.
Because most of her existing clothes were no longer wearable and had to be remade, she planned to make her own underwear and buy ready-made outerwear as an emergency measure. As for the bedding, she didn't have time to make it, so she had to hire someone to make it.
"Boss, do you have anyone here who can make quilts and outerwear?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, we have ready-made female workers here, and we also have ready-made clothes and bedding for sale."
Following his introduction, Su Qin bought a quilt and a set of ready-made clothes for emergency use, and bought the rest of the cloth and cotton to make them herself.
Because he bought a lot, Zhao Liangchen asked the shopkeeper to send it to his teacher.
When paying, Zhao Liangchen was a little surprised to see Su Qin actually took out the banknotes, but he thought she kept them close to her for emergencies and there shouldn't be much.
After buying these, Zhao Liangchen took Su Qin to the grocery store and bought necessary items such as a bathtub, a bronze mirror, and a wooden comb.
I have to say that Zhao Liangchen is a very thoughtful person. He has thought of everything that Su Qin might need. He even wanted to take Su Qin to buy jewelry and rouge and powder, but was rejected by Su Qin.
Su Qin had some jewelry. She brought them all with her from her hometown, but she didn't bring any rouge or powder. She threw them away because she didn't use them often.
After everything was ready, they went to Mr. Zeng's yard. Su Qin was still staring at Zhao Liangchen in a daze. She felt very strange. Zhao Liangchen was obviously the enemy who framed her father, but he didn't seem to be completely using her. It seemed like he was really considering her.
Zhao Liangchen's attitude towards her made her a little confused and she didn't know how to deal with it. This was the first time she encountered such a situation. Although the people she met in her previous life were not absolutely good or absolutely bad, they were easy to divide into those who could get along with her sincerely and those who could not.
But it is difficult to tell in Zhao Liangchen's case. If you say he has an ulterior motive, he seems to be genuinely good to her. If you say he is a good person, he is the son of her enemy. It is really contradictory.
Zhao Liangchen felt Su Qin staring at him again, and turned around helplessly and asked, "Why are you always staring at me?"
Su Qin came back to her senses and replied, "I was wondering how you found me hiding under the car that day. I had been hiding all the way without anyone noticing."
