Liu Cui stood aside and saw Yun Qing's face a little strange. She could not help shouting in a low voice, "Miss?"
Yunqing then raised her head, eyebrows calm, and smiled, "Liucui, you go to the kitchen and bring me two dishes of snacks, to make snacks by Aunt Zhang."
"Well, the maidservant just wanted to ask the lady if she wanted something to eat." Liucui was lively, spoke simply and did things quickly. She turned around and went to the kitchen.
In the courtyard of Xie's family over there, Jade came in with a woman, medium-looking, slightly blessed, tightly wrapped in a long red hemming skirt, with a round silk fan in her hand, and swayed in step by step.
"People in this spring are extraordinary water, Mrs. Shen's skin is tender like peach blossom." As soon as the woman came in, she spoke warmly to Xie Shi, a distant relative of the Qi family, the wife of a small official, who came here today to be a lobbyist for the Qi family.
Xie responded faintly, telling the amber beside him to come over with the scented tea, and then he said, "Madame Ma didn't come early to post. If it hadn't happened that something happened in the house, I hadn't gone out. Today, Madame didn't have a hard trip in vain."
That said, Mrs. Ma's face was white. It was a mockery that she had no rules. She groaned with discontent, remembered the purpose of today, looked at Xie's eyes again, and laughed. "It's just a coincidence that Mrs. Ma is here today. That means God intends to make this happen."
"Oh, it seems that Mrs. Ma has something to say to me, what good is it, God will do it all!" Xie hung his eyes and plucked the lid of his tea. His tone was neither cold nor hot. He was too lazy to look at Mrs. Ma.
Seeing that the atmosphere is hot, Mrs. Ma wanted to make the atmosphere a little warmer, and then put forward the Qi family's affairs. Now she is too lazy to go around the bend. Some people have said before, she is doing this ugly face today. She hopes that the Qi family will take care of herself when she arrives. She gently sipped her tea, and then said in a leisurely way, "There are already people in the Qi family's affairs." Speaking to Mrs. Shen, this time, my eldest sister-in-law expressed sincerity and deliberately asked me to come. The friendship between the two old masters in the past, she also remembered, was just that the old folks were telling a joke together at that time. We children and grandchildren should pay more attention to how many of them. Now, when we watch the children grow up, we have to marry each other. We can't delay each other for a few ridiculous jokes."
Knows these shameless people, there's nothing good about coming to the door.
Xie raised his eyebrows at Mrs. Ma and sneered, "Mrs. Ma is a good tongue. At the beginning, the old masters of the two governments exchanged letters and certificates. The marriage contract was written in black and white, and there were official seals on them. In your mouth, that's the ridiculous joke of the two masters. Dare to be in Mrs. Ma's eyes, the official seal is a joke?!"
She thought that Shen Jia was a businessman and would never talk to the official family. I didn't expect that there would be such a statement. The smile on Mrs. Ma's face could not hang up. Of course, she knew about the engagement, but it was just for the sake of getting rid of the marriage.
But now that she is a lobbyist today, she also imagines that there will be such a scenario. She smiles round and picks up the box she was carrying when she came in and puts it on the table.
Xie's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, looked at the box and asked, "What is this?"
"My sister-in-law said that at that time, Old Master Qi really inherited the grace of Old Master Shen and was embarrassed to refuse the proposal of the Shen family, which they have been thinking about all the time, and now it is also the time to return grace, hoping that although the two families have retired, the friendship is still there." Opening the box, revealing two rows of neat gold bars inside, pushing the box to Xie's side, Mrs. Ma smiled. "Didn't Mr. Qi owe Shen twenty-two pieces of silver that year? My sister-in-law said that for so many years, plus interest, they should return it to you."
Twenty-two silver becomes one hundred and two gold, even if they don't make so much money in business, how can these businessmen not accept it? Mrs. Ma, with disdain, thought in secret that she was startled by the bang in the room.
Xie smashed his teacup on the table with a deep anger on his face. He wished to drop it on Mrs. Ma's blindfolded, fat face. But the withdrawal was not good for her daughter's reputation. It was not when she tore her face. He forbore to say, "I hope Mrs. Ma will not make such a joke. The old man didn't help her for today's money. Son. "
Seeing that Xie Shi obviously did not intend to retire with gold, Mrs. Ma was not polite, shook a silk fan and looked at Xie Shi's face.'Of course, the old man of Qi's family was the candidate who went to Beijing to catch up with the examination. These twenty-two pieces of silver said to the old man of Shen's family that it was not worth mentioning, but this old woman of Qi was not for today's gold. When he was a scholar and an official, he was also a sincere man. He must be grateful to Mr. Shen. At this time, the benefactor asked for a marriage, even if he was unwilling, he had to promise not to.
With a few words, the fingertips of Xie Shiqi trembled. As soon as he died, they ripped their faces and turned green. Xie Shi shook his lips and exclaimed, "A marriage is about one hundred and two gold pieces. Is Qi family a poor girl to be sold in Shen's family?"
"Gee, Mrs. Shen, look at what you said, no one knows.
