Chapter 207: fox and sheep
Chapter 207 The Fox and the Sheep
“You go out first.”
As soon as Ah Qin helped Qin Lianyue enter the house, she sent the girls and women in the house out. A Qi is no longer here. He made a mistake last time and was "sent away" by Du Liu.
“What are you making such a fuss about?” Qin Lianyue was annoyed.
"Madam!" Aqin said nervously and mysteriously before even sitting down: "Did you know? I heard that the shop we just went to belongs to Mrs. Qi, and is opened by that girl from the Wen family!"
“What?!” Qin Lianyue was surprised.
"When you and the Duke's wife were sitting in the private room talking, your servant heard about it outside."
“…What did you say?”
"It is said that the shop belongs to Mrs. Qi and has been rented out. When it expires after the new year, it will be taken care of by Mrs. Qi's daughter-in-law who has not yet entered the house. A few days ago, it was not officially opened yet, so I spent two days entertaining relatives and friends. .
The Cui family is all gone! I heard there was a lot of support. Otherwise, why would there be so many people visiting a new shop? They are all people who have been there before and spread the word when they go back. It's just... we don't know. "
“Then the master of Cai Luan Pavilion that I saw was the **** of the Wen family who also invited her here?!”
“Yes, that master is really likeable. So many people are willing to listen to her introduction and recommendations!”
Qin Lianyue was silent for a while, and then asked: "So, has my cousin gone?"
“I heard from people that Mr. Qi Wu left early in the morning today, and some of them left earlier!”
“But why didn’t I see the one from the Wen family…”
"She is just the boss behind the scenes, not the shopkeeper. She will definitely not show up!"
Qin Lianyue sat down silently. To say that she married into the Jiang family, her life was indeed good.
He was very affectionate with Jiang Ergong, and he had less time to go out to play. A few days ago, I took her on an outing to see flowers. The two of them were happy and played a song together.
Her mother-in-law treated her very kindly and never made any rules.
So, those past events are basically let go.
But as soon as Aqin said it, he suddenly remembered, "Cousin..." The circles under his eyes turned red again.
Aqin actually didn't have to say it, but she just couldn't suppress the malice in her heart.
No one could be more confused and hypocritical than Qin Lianyue in front of her. Such a good husband suddenly let go.
Look at what Mrs. Qi is doing?
Your mother-in-law is the wife of the Duke! But apart from being given a set of valuable jewelry when he entered the house, he was able to eat and drink well every day. Oh, I made two clothes today and bought some stuff. What else have you gained?
Mrs. Qi’s two prosperous shops were directly given to her daughter-in-law! Once this is given, there is no reason to take it back, it is hers! If you don't do anything else for the rest of your life, you won't have to worry about it.
For my daughter-in-law, it is really good!
(Xu heard about it: there is absolutely no such thing!)
Qin Lianyue grabbed the handkerchief and said, "Ask them to find out when my cousin will go!"
"You still want to pry? What happened to the Aqi brothers and sisters last time scared everyone. Who dares to ask?!"
“My mother is not here, what are you afraid of?”
“But what if I ask? Do you still dare to go to the shop to meet him?”
"Let me ask you first, I'm not going to see him..."
“My wife told me before she left, even if I write a letter, it won’t work!”
"Okay!" Qin Lianyue became impatient, "I still can't figure this out?"
I thought to myself: My husband is so kind to me, but my mother-in-law doesn’t care about her own business. Why can't you think of a way to meet him?
That’s not what you want to do!
…
The Duke’s wife and her eldest daughter-in-law did not go home directly. They took a car and went to a small courtyard.
After entering the house and sitting down, a woman led two women into the house.
The Duke's wife looked up and saw that she had a face like a silver plate, a plump body and a generous posture. The other one has slim shoulders and round hips, a voluptuous figure and a calm attitude.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and nodded.
“Is your background correct?” she asked the old lady.
“You can’t be wrong! The source is clear, and I’ve found it for you!”
“Hmm. Are you both literate?”
The two people nodded: "Reply to Madam, someone who can read." The voice was weak, and the nervousness could be seen.
"Well. You two don't need to panic. I want to give my son a proper concubine and give birth to a son. Regardless of whether he is a boy or a girl, he will be a treasure to my family. When the time comes, the mother will be more valuable than the child, and yours will It will be the same in the future.”
The two of them were relieved and hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, Madam, for your love!"
"Send it to this address." Mrs. Guo Gong handed a piece of paper, "That is my villa. You two will live there peacefully for now, and I will wait for you to be taken into the house."
After saying that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out.
“Aunt, does it look good?”
“Yes, generous.”
“Isn’t it true? If nothing happened at home, we would still be young ladies!”
“Jingjing, your idea is really good!”
"The future Duke of Guo's background is too poor, we owe him a lot!" "You girl, you are never jealous, you always think about the Duke's government!"
“But when will we put it in the second brother’s room!? Seeing how the second brother and his wife are mixing honey with oil, Jingjing can’t bear it!”
“Whose wedding is not like this? It will be better after a while!”
“When I came out today, Jingjing told her husband, he was very happy!”
"Da Lang is so smart. If it weren't for his health, he would be the best. They will give birth to a son and a daughter. When the time comes, they will bring them both. When Da Lang sees his children wrapped around his knees, he will be in good spirits. Maybe his health will also get better!" "
“What my aunt said is that Jingjing is looking forward to that day! But, aunt, it’s best for them to give birth to their eldest son to avoid trouble in the future.”
“That’s natural!”
“Don’t have younger brothers and sisters first…”
“Don’t worry! She can’t survive!” The Duke’s wife smiled calmly.
“That shop is really nice today, we can play there often!”
“Look back, please invite Chengcheng and others! They must like it...”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands, just like mother and daughter.
…
When it was time to turn on the lights, the delicious dinner started to get lively again. But there was no one around Yun Xiang.
After all, women cannot go shopping in the dark.
Wen Yu and Master Qing have gone back.
Yan Zhu hasn’t left yet, she has to prepare the ingredients. At the fourth watch tomorrow, the cooks will get up and follow the orders.
Wen Yu left Master Sun with Yan Zhu, accompanied by his two nieces. Don’t worry about it on the road. Master Sun's eldest grandson has been arranged to live with Qi Wu. He also didn't expect that as he got older, he would start his "second spring"...every day would be pleasant.
After debugging, a cook came over. "Miss Yan! The sales are so good today, let's make more!"
“We are not just opening the business for one day, so why are we in a hurry? If we do too much, everyone will get tired of it and stop coming! The key is that you must be careful, clean, and not steal anything. You must not make mistakes in every step!”
“Don’t worry, you can’t be wrong! We have been doing this for decades. If you just point it out, we will understand. Besides, where are the stewards watching?”
Yan Zhu saw there were two snacks in the corner of the shelf, wrapped in paper, "Where's the wood spirit? Let's go!"
“Mu Ling girl!” Someone shouted.
Yan Zhu went out and Master Sun stood waiting by the car.
Looking around, you can see that the entrance of Youweiwei is bustling with cars and people, but Yun Xiang has closed the door, but the light is on at the entrance. At this moment, there was a man sitting on the steps.
He has long hair and a messy beard. The hair looked gray or yellow, and the sky was dark, making it difficult to tell the color.
Looks like an old man.
But his figure is tall and straight, so humble, and his sitting position is different from ordinary people.
Yan Zhu walked over. Sun Ying was worried and followed behind.
When we got to the man, the man was still motionless.
As he got closer, he noticed that the material of the man's robe... Yan Zhu knew that it was the kind that could not be caught by water or mud. Once it gets stained, I get worried and go down. It's good stuff!
If it hadn’t been worn for too long, it wouldn’t have been so dirty…
Looking closer, Yan Zhu and Master Sun were also speechless.
It turns out that there is an ancient yellow jade hanging on that man’s waist! The lanyard was worn out and it broke at some point...
Haven't been snatched away? !
Yan Zhu heard Wen Yu say that such a piece of food is enough for a family to eat and drink well for a lifetime.
Why didn’t he become a pawn?
“Hello!” she called.
The man turned to look at her.
“Here you can eat this!” Yan Zhu handed him the snack in her hand.
He watched silently and did not move.
Yan Zhu put it in his hand and said, "It's delicious. Do you want some tea? Mu Ling, go get a bowl of tea!" As soon as Mu Ling went out, he was assigned another task and turned around to go in.
Sun Ying observed this person. He... felt like a practicing master! It's just, too thin. He must have not eaten enough for several days, and his cheeks are sunken, making him look very old.
The man looked at Yan Zhu for a while, then silently opened the paper package.
Mu Ling brought a bowl of tea and placed it on the ground beside him.
He broke off a small piece with his hands and slowly put it into his mouth. If it weren't for the dark hands and nails of different lengths, this look would be quite elegant.
Closing your mouth, chewing slowly...
There was no sign of being extremely hungry and gobbling down food.
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Sister Zhuzhu, he's quite good! Next time I give it to him, he has to put on the plate and hold a spoon, just like the ladies upstairs!"
She remembered that she and her brother had just gone down the mountain with the Fifth Young Master, and when the Fifth Young Master took them to eat...she swallowed so much that she almost choked to death!
Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, after you finish drinking, just leave the bowl here. I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he turned around and got into the car.
