Xie Songhua's eyes fell on the basket in her hand, which contained some plain silk and various colored silk threads.
Gao Ying smiled lightly, with no trace of embarrassment on her face at all, "Now I rely on my little embroidery skills to make a living. Fortunately, I learned a lot from my embroidery skills in the past, and now it can be regarded as my special skill."
Xie Songhua looked at her and was speechless for a moment.
Gao Ying still smiled lightly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"I..." Xie Songhua looked at her face and hesitated before saying, "I went to the Chen family to look for you before, and I didn't know that you had divorced."
The expression on Gao Ying's face was slightly startled, and then she nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Yes, we are divorced."
"Why?" Xie Songhua looked at her puzzled, "You hoped to marry him so much before."
"You have to grow up to realize how ridiculous your mistakes are when you are young, right?" Gao Ying's face finally showed some bitterness.
How did you grow up after only a few years?
Therefore, when Gao Ying talks about growing up, he actually means that his mind has matured.
No matter what, this is a sad thing for someone else, and Xie Songhua can't say anything more.
Gao Ying seemed to have opened up the conversation, "I used to think that as long as I liked him and wanted to live with this person for the rest of my life, no matter what method I used, marrying him was always the first step. As long as I married
He, I can always find a way to make him fall in love with me, and I can always live my life in a down-to-earth manner."
Even after getting married once, Gao Ying's face still looked as delicate as a girl's, but her eyes were stained with dust.
"As a result, I later discovered that it was myself who couldn't hold on in the first place. I regarded marriage too simply. Whether I liked it or not, it was all imaginary. In fact, the peaceful days day after day were actually empty.
It's all a dull knife.
Slowly and firmly sharpen your persistence and your will, so that one day, you realize that what you wanted has long been changed beyond recognition."
Even if she matures, she is still a girl.
Seeing that her eyes were red, Xie Songhua hurriedly handed her a handkerchief, then gently patted the back of her hand, "It's good that you are brave enough to make your own choice."
Gao Ying came back to her senses, wiped her tears quickly, and said with a smile: "It's a joke. I really don't know why I would say this to you."
"When I have the opportunity to talk about my anguish, it always makes me feel better. I'm very happy."
Xie Songhua said, hesitating for a moment, "Then you are now a single woman walking out, wouldn't it be very inconvenient?"
These words made Gao Ying's face flash with a bit of embarrassment, but she still smiled and said: "There are many women outside looking for a living! In the past, in the boudoir, it seemed that my mother would be killed if I went out.
Wear a power fence so that no one can see your face.
Now I know, who do I am? Aren’t we all the same person, with one mouth and two eyes? What is there to look down upon?”
That's what I say, but she is so beautiful and her temperament is completely different from that of ordinary women, so it must be inconvenient to be outside.
And judging from her reaction just now, I'm afraid she has encountered many dirty things.
"How about I introduce you to a place to go?"
Gao Ying was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to see her serious expression, and quickly waved her hand, "No, I'm pretty good like this now, I can make a living on my own."
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to come to the palace," but after taking a closer look, Xie Songhua knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but smile, "I have a cousin whose family has some properties in the capital, and she is currently taking care of some of her family's business.
I am about the same age as you and me, and I thought that if you could go to her place to help her, with your talents, she would definitely need her very much, and she is a girl, and she doesn’t know how to deal with things when she is away from home. If you can go there,
I feel more at ease."
Gao Ying was stunned for a while before she said, "You didn't lie to me."
"Why did I lie to you?" Xie Songhua said, then said, "In this case
, I will ask my maid to take you to my cousin’s place when you get back later.”
During this period, although Gao Ying was able to make a living by selling some embroidery, it was not enough to rent a house, so he still lives in the Gao family's house.
I don't know who discovered her, but there were always some scoundrels guarding the alley of Gao's house these days, whistling and shouting when they saw her.
This made her have to be careful every time she went to the secret door.
When Xie Songhua spoke just now, her first reaction was to ask her to go to the palace to help.
This is absolutely unacceptable to her.
Even though she is poor, she is still the daughter of the Gao family, and she is still the aloof Miss Gao she once was.
No matter what, it is impossible to stay in other people's homes, and...
Although she didn't know enough about daily necessities, she didn't know anything about the world. She didn't know anything about the dirty things going on in those wealthy families.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Now I heard that Xie Songhua asked her to go to her cousin's place to help, but he completely avoided her worries.
"But I do have something to ask you." Xie Songhua then asked, "You came to me that day and wanted to find a position for Mr. Chen..."
"I didn't consider this matter well," Gao Ying said quickly, "I didn't know he was so resistant to my actions. If he goes to the palace and says something, Princess, please don't take it to heart. It's all mine.
no."
Xie Songhua thought for a while and realized that there was probably a quarrel between the two people because of this matter.
It's just that now that the two of them have reconciled, even if they want to persuade, the statute of limitations has expired.
She waved her hand and said with a smile: "That's not what you're talking about. That day you said that the prince will go to the border soon. I'll be honest with you. Even I don't know the news. Can you tell me who is with you?
Did you say that?"
Gao Ying didn't expect that this was what she was talking about, let alone that Xie Songhua didn't know.
She was surprised: "Isn't it?"
Under Xie Songhua's doubtful eyes, she said seriously: "I didn't hear this from anyone, but I heard it accidentally because I was really short of money and wanted to borrow some money from my former friends.
It’s just that I couldn’t let go of my shame in the end, so I borrowed money every time without asking for more specific reasons.”
Xie Songhua quickly asked: "Can you tell me... which family you are a friend of?"
Gao Ying's expression slowly became serious, she thought carefully and asked, "Does the princess still remember the Wen family?"
After she asked, she added: "Judging from the princess's current reaction, could it be that the prince... didn't go out? The Wen family..."
Having said that, some things are actually much clearer.
Gao Ying had a somewhat annoyed look on her face, but it soon turned into a self-deprecating smile, "Fortunately, I didn't speak, otherwise... I wouldn't even be able to get through the cracks in the ground."
"In official matters, there is no right or wrong, only stance." This kind of comfort was too weak and pale. However, Xie Songhua had no better words of comfort. "It's all over. We don't need to worry about the things ahead. Let's move on.
Let’s take a look ahead!”
The bitterness in Gao Ying's eyes finally slowly receded. She sighed helplessly, then forced a smile and said: "What the princess said is that life always moves forward! Who knows if things will turn around one day?"
"
That's what they say, but the children of the Gao family are not allowed to serve as officials in the court. Even if there is hope for the Gao family to rise, it will take several generations. Gao Ying is probably destined to never see it in this life.
The palace had already received the news, and a group of people came directly outside to greet her.
Gao Ying felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Xie Songhua naturally understood her mood at this time and quickly called Ding Xiang over. After giving a few instructions, Ding Xiang immediately took Gao Ying away again.
Aunt Lan then pulled her in with tears in her eyes, "We are so worried at home that we can't even sleep!"
