"That's great, our designer Guo has a solution!"
"Oh, where." Guo Xi'er sighed, "To be honest, I really want to help her! Zhou Sumiang is a good woman, serving Master Qu, that bad old man, and there is also a eldest lady of the Qu family on top of her. It's really helpful.
I can't solve the problem..." As he said this, he lowered his head in frustration.
"Don't say that, everyone can't help themselves."
"I know, I know." Guo Xi'er said, "I cried a lot when I came back from Guangzhou. I felt that I was really unlucky. I was disliked by the chief, scolded by my sister, and even my life secretary qualification was canceled. But now I think
, my luck is much better than Zhou Sumiang..."
She said angrily: "I wish I could be like the Li sisters!"
He Xiaoyue suddenly thought of something: "Since the sisters of the Li family are willing to help Sister Lian escape, why don't they help Zhou Sumiang deliver the letter? Isn't this a simple task?"
"The Li sisters went to Guangdong more than a month ago." Guo Xier said, "They said they were going to work on some textile factory project."
"It's the project in Xiangshan, I guess." He Xiaoyue said, "Why don't we recommend Wu Xinsheng to them."
"Yeah, he happens to be from Xiangshan and is familiar with the situation." Guo Xier also became more energetic.
"Then this letter..."
"If you don't give it to him," He Xiaoyue said, "just let the Li sisters know about it slowly."
Guo Xier was stunned and punched her in the chest: "You are such a subtle person!"
"This money..." He Xiaoyue said.
"You can spend it yourself."
"No, no, no." He Xiaoyue shook her head repeatedly, "I don't feel safe using this money, so I will save it first and find an opportunity to give it to her - anyway, she ordered clothes again this time."
"Next time she comes again, I will find someone else to receive her." Guo Xi'er also enlightened, "so that it won't be difficult for you."
"No, no, I'd better go." Guo Xi'er said, "It's enough that you and I know about this. What if she asks others for help again? Don't harm her!"
Guo Xier took leave the next day and went back to Bairen City. She came back in the evening and told He Xiaoyue: The matter has been settled.
"Sister said that she has already written a letter to her brother-in-law. She recommends Wu Xinsheng to take up a post in the mainland. However, my brother-in-law cannot make the decision as to where he will go. Only the elders in charge of cadres in the Guangdong Region can make the decision."
"As long as we can send him away, everything else is easy." He Xiaoyue said, "How long will it take to issue an order?"
"There will be a transfer order within a week. My sister said that the mainland is in urgent need of all kinds of cadres."
Hearing that the matter had been settled, He Xiaoyue was half relieved.
Sure enough, three days later, a transfer order arrived at Wanzi Pavilion. When Wu Xinsheng received the transfer order, Monk Zhang Er was confused: he had never asked for a transfer, and no one had talked to him about it.
However, when he was transferred to the mainland, he immediately joined the cadre team. This was a great opportunity for Wu Xinsheng, who was already disabled. After all, he was still young and was not willing to be a handyman all his life. He immediately expressed his willingness to be transferred.
Wanzi Pavilion held a farewell party, and Wu Xinsheng left Wanzi Pavilion in great glory and reported to Guangzhou.
Wu Xinsheng's departure made the anxious He Xiaoyue finally feel relieved. A few days later, Zhou Sumiang came to visit again, and He Xiaoyue pretended to be nonchalant and went out to receive her as usual.
It is difficult to use the elasticity of fibers to achieve a perfect fit for undergarments made from natural materials. To reproduce the styles of old times, one can only work hard on size cutting. Such undergarments require more fittings than outerwear.
and measuring body.
He Xiaoyue now fully understands why Zhou Sumiang suddenly thought of custom-made undergarments. Only by ordering underwear can he have enough opportunities to be alone with her, talk privately and deliver items.
This week Su Niang is really smart, He Xiaoyue thought to herself, no wonder she is so favored in Mr. Qu’s family!
However, the few maids and servants Zhou Su Niang had with her this week were also unusual servants. He Xiaoyue could tell that they were not so much serving servants as the prison wardens who were guarding Zhou Su Niang. Especially one of them was named Taozhi.
Yes, her eyes are lively, and she looks at Zhou Sumiang with an extremely unkind look, often revealing a suspicious look. She is not easy to mess with at first glance.
When trying it on, Zhou Sumiang asked about her letter.
"Unfortunately," He Xiaoyue whispered, "Master Wu was transferred away a few days ago..."
After that, he handed the letter and handkerchief back to her.
"The letter can't be delivered, so I'll give it back to you. As for the money, you won't be rewarded for your merits, so please take it back."
"Transferred?!" Zhou Sumiang's face was filled with disbelief, "Everyone in our store knows that he was transferred. You can ask, Ms. Zhou."
"Where?" She still refused to give up and asked.
"I heard that she was transferred to Guangdong." He Xiaoyue saw the disappointment on her face and couldn't bear it, and said, "There is a huge shortage of cadres in Guangdong and Guangxi now. If he is transferred there, he will have a bright future."
Zhou Sumiang's eyes were blank, and she murmured in a low voice: "Transferred... transferred..."
He Xiaoyue couldn't bear to irritate her anymore, so she just put the letter and wallet into her small bag. She lowered her head and continued to work. Suddenly, Zhou Sumiang asked again: "Girl, do you know sisters Li Guo and Li Tang? They often come here.
of……"
He Xiaoyue was startled and said: "Zhou... are you looking for them?"
"Um!"
"They have also been transferred to the mainland..." He Xiaoyue said.
"What about... An Jiu? She said she knew Designer Guo." Zhou Sumiang's expression was like a drowning person eager to grab a life-saving straw. She was frightened and anxious.
"Miss An has also been transferred to the mainland."
This sentence completely shattered Zhou Sumiang's hopes. She swayed and seemed to faint. He Xiaoyue hurriedly supported her, feeling anxious. There was only a thin board between here and the outside, and there was no door, only a curtain.
, if you speak a little loudly, it will spread. What if my mother loses control of her mood this week and starts crying!
She had no choice but to whisper in Zhou Sumiang's ear: "Ms. Zhou! Don't be anxious! There is a long way to go. They just transferred to the mainland, it's not like they never come back. Besides, they still have vacation."
With tears in her eyes, Zhou Sumiang said in a low voice: "I am...unlucky! God is not willing..." After saying this, she burst into tears. He Xiaoyue felt guilty. She had stayed in Qingjie Courtyard and could support herself in desperate situations.
The only thing left to live was hope. Now her hope was shattered. The despair and coldness made her feel the same, and she couldn't help but feel sad and almost shed tears. She quickly controlled her emotions and whispered: "Miss Zhou, don't be sad.
As long as people are alive, there is always a chance!"
Zhou Sumiang probably understood her situation at this moment, nodded slightly, and held back her tears. After a while, she finally adjusted her emotions.
After sending Zhou Sumiang away, He Xiaoyue was worried: Zhou Sumiang's matter might not be that simple.
"relative?"
Li Ziyu was full of suspicions. Not only because he had little contact with relatives in the north, but also because he was constantly taught to "be wary of spies" in the police system. Whenever he heard that someone was "coming from the north," he would become alert reflexively.
.
"Oh, I don't know whose relative is here." Li Ziyu muttered.
When he walked into the second courtyard gate, he saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and the corridors of the side rooms on both sides were filled with boxes and cages. This was not a visit to a relative, but a move. He murmured in his heart, but he saw his mother happily directing the servants to work in the courtyard. Look.
The relative here is from my mother's side of the family.
Sure enough, the relative who came was a distant relative from her mother's family. Li Ziyu was also confused about the specific relationship. In short, this relative was originally from Tianjin, and the family was also a hereditary military official. Wei Zhongxian was defeated, and the elders in the family were implicated and were dismissed from their posts.
He died within a few years. Fortunately, the eldest son was not implicated and became a junior military attache in Shunyi.
Unexpectedly, the Qing troops entered the customs in June last year. In July, the Qing troops entered Gyeonggi and captured Changping. After Liangxiang, they besieged Shunyi. After the city was broken, Shangguan Xin, the magistrate of Shunyi, and Su Shiyu, the commander of the guerrilla governor, were all killed in the battle. This relative died.
He crawled out of the pile and gained his life.
Although he escaped, Shunyi fell and Shangguan died in battle. This crime was not light. In addition, there was the old crime of "Afeng eunuch". The third uncle knew that staying in Tianjin would never bring good results, so he thought of himself
There is also a distant relative in Guangdong.
There was some news about the Australians in the capital and Tianjin. Especially after the fall of Guangdong, there was a storm of discussion in the court. However, it was soon submerged in all kinds of more imminent bad news.
Especially after the Tatars entered the country in June and the capital was under martial law, no one cared about the affairs of these Australians anymore.
Here in Tianjin, because of Mr. Xu Ge's industry, many Australian machines were introduced in the past. It is said that some Australians have also come here, and many businessmen have openly done business with Australians. They have made a lot of money.
The third uncle was determined and took the whole family by boat from Tianjinwei to Guangzhou.
"So, it's been a smooth journey."
"It couldn't be smoother." Li Ziyu's mother said, "We got on the boat and headed south. We arrived in Guangzhou in more than ten days."
"This is also their auspicious sign." Li Ziyu said, "I'll go pay them a visit right away."
After entering the hall, they saw that the hall was full of people, more than twenty people, including men, women, old and young. Li Ziyu greeted each one after being introduced by her parents.
"This is Quan Zi, Li Ziyu. He is currently the detective of the Criminal Police Department of the Guangzhou Special City Police Department in the Song Dynasty." It was difficult for the old man to recite this long list of titles. "This is Quan Zi's brother-in-law." My younger brother, Zhao Gui, is also a detective of the Criminal Police Department."
After that, he turned to the middle-aged man opposite: "This is your third uncle, Zhang Shizhong."
Li Ziyu bowed according to the old rules and looked up, only to see that this distant uncle was about forty years old and in his prime. He was over 1.80 meters tall and had a strong body. He had a thick beard and small but bright eyes. God. At first glance, he looks like a fierce warrior who is used to fighting.
