Chapter 248: No next time
After talking about business, Wen Yu showed them around his house.
Yan Zhu became happy and turned around inside and outside.
Xiao Ji took her to see the place where the small kitchen was to be built, and she also gave some directions.
Wen Yu took them to see Mrs. Qi again.
Mrs. Qi was very kind. She also gave them gifts and had a conversation. Wen Yu personally escorted them out of the house.
Watching them get in the car and leave, Wen Yu thought as he walked back and went to Mrs. Qi's house again.
"Mother."
“They left?”
"Let's go. Mother, something happened today..." Then Wen Yu told Qi Yue about seeing Yan Zhu.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi was so angry that she trembled: "It's really a nest of snakes and rats. What goes up and what goes down is ineffective. No one is good!"
Wen Yu said: "Mom, don't be angry. Ordinarily, we, Zhuzhu, are wearing embroidered shoes and can't step on his shit. But if you don't express your attitude, you think we are afraid! This kind of thing... it's the mother's fault if the son doesn't teach him!"
"Okay, I'll go find Mrs. Liu!" Mrs. Qi stood up suddenly.
“Then you act like this…” Wen Yu whispered a few words.
Mrs. Liu was looking at the account books in the room, when Mrs. Qi came.
“Sister-in-law!” Ms. Liu stood up with a smile.
"Hmm. Are the third brother and sister busy?" Mrs. Qi said in an airy voice.
“It’s okay! Sister-in-law, please sit down.”
"Don't sit down! I'm just here to explain to the third younger brother and sister: The person who came to the garden today is the fifth daughter-in-law's best friend. I recognize her too. My eldest sister-in-law also likes her very much and wants to adopt her as her adopted daughter. So, if you don’t understand anything, just ask me!”
Ms. Liu was confused: "Sister-in-law... what does this mean?"
"Eh? Did the third brother and sister forget? Didn't you ask Qi Yue to stop the girl from asking for her name? She was already far away from him, but she still chased after him!" Mrs. Qi's face was smiling, but her eyes were cold. .
Liu understood it as soon as he heard it, and his face turned pale.
"It scared the little girl... The fifth daughter-in-law was very angry when she heard about it. I have been in the Qi family for so many years, and this has never happened in the family. So, I will explain it myself. My younger siblings are in charge of the house. It's good to be stricter, but if something like this happens in the future, you can even send the girls around you to ask... After all, there are differences between men and women!
That little girl is extremely beautiful and well-behaved. If Qi Yue talks nonsense and Mrs. Zhu sees it and causes a misunderstanding, we will be in a big injustice! "
Mrs. Liu was extremely embarrassed, "Sister-in-law is right! I'll explain it later. I'm so sorry... Qi Yue has stayed in the northwest for a long time, and the folk customs there are rough. He is used to it, and he may not notice the difference for a while. I I'll give him a heads up."
"Isn't Qi Yue on the battlefield there? It seems that he has learned a lot about other things! Tell him, just this time. If the next time comes, don't blame me, the eldest aunt, for not giving him face! "
After Mrs. Qi said this, she turned around and left.
Mrs. Liu's face turned red with anger. When Mrs. Qi disappeared, she spat: Bitch!
“Where is Qi Yue? Tell him to come!” she said fiercely.
…
Wen Yu knew that Mrs. Qi would definitely say this for her, but it didn't feel right.
Qi Yue was a member of the Qi Family Army in the northwest, and he was known to be arrogant, but his eyes and demeanor seemed a bit sinister...
“Laba, go ahead and look for Mu Bo and ask him to check Qi Yue outside. In addition, at home..."
Laba said: "At home, would you like me to go and keep an eye on it?!"
"I don't know who he is, so I can't just stare at him. This is not the Wen family..."
Laba nodded.
"Xiaoji, please stop wandering around the garden recently. Wait until there is any news from Mubo. Let Qinghe and Xiaoxiang go out! In addition, if you have acquaintances who are strict-tongued and good-tempered, you can also ask them to help Pay attention to Zhu's courtyard. It's not urgent, it doesn't matter if you can find out, just don't reveal the secret! Otherwise, something will happen if you don't tell me."
"yes."
…
Master Qing felt rough and said to Li Jiang on the way back, "I'm going to my nephew's house. Leave me nearby and you can leave. I'll go back to the shop by myself in a while."
Li Jiang knew that Master Qing had made up her mind when she opened her mouth, but it seemed that she didn't even have a girl with her, and there was no carriage with whom she was familiar.
How can a person behave on the street?
You should stay and wait by yourself, and you don’t want to worry about Gu Yue taking Yan Zhu back alone.
I am scratching my head and regretting not bringing more people out today.
Gu Yue looked at him inexplicably, but didn't talk nonsense to him.
Master Qing said: "Li Jiang, just stop here and I will go in by myself!"
“No, let’s send it in.”
“It’s narrow inside, so it’s hard for this car to get in.”
“I’ll get off the car and see you off. Then, if you stay here for a while, I’ll take Miss Zhuzhu back and pick you up.”
Master Qing was not polite: "That's okay! It's just a thank you for your hard work."
Yan Zhu opened the curtain and said, "Are we just waiting for Master Qing here?! Look at how lively the street is, with several big shops. I'll take a stroll first." Li Jiang heard this and said, "That's good!"
Master Qing had something on his mind and didn't say much.
"Miss Zhuzhu, after putting on your hat, you can only go shopping in these stores. You can't go anywhere else. I'll pick you up when Master Qing comes out. Gu Yue, please be honest with me... the store treats you well. Don't be shy, watch the girl, don't lead her away! Otherwise I will break your legs!"
Gu Yue was so angry that she really wanted to punch the teeth of this talkative guy in front of her!
“Nothing to see?! Did you hear what I said?” Li Jiang was very powerful.
Having such an opportunity to be alone with Yan Zhu, Gu Yue was unwilling to lose it no matter how angry she was. She had no choice but to snort coldly.
Yan Zhu put on the curtain hat and got out of the car. "Li Jiang, don't be nagging, Master Qing, don't be anxious... Hey, there's a snack vendor! We'll wait here!"
She happily entered the store, and Gu Yue followed suit.
After sending Master Qing into the small courtyard, Li Jiang stayed in the car. If someone drove by, he would have to make room!
"Aunt! Why are you here at this time?" Yibai was very happy to see her.
Master Qing said nothing, sitting in front of him, looking at the face that was the same as the one just now, with a sad expression.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Yibai's expression also became serious.
After a while, Master Qing said, "I met someone today..." and told him about Aunt Xiuyun he saw at Qi's house.
“It’s really hard to believe that someone who is not related by blood can look so similar. But from her experience, it has nothing to do with the Bai family.”
"Have you thought about it carefully? Could it be a side branch or a concubine?"
"Your father has no children from a concubine. What kind of person is he..." Master Qing shook his head: "Very talented and rich, with generous spending. He has many friends and countless beauties. Your mother only has him in her heart, and she is angry all day long because of those beauties.
But him! After you finish making trouble outside, you can comfort your mother when you come back. The coaxing in different ways will be different every time! We watched, all laughing.
Until you made your mother laugh so hard that you forgave him...
I heard that he redeemed several top names from Feng Yuechang... But in the end, his sister and children... ended up like that..."
Master Qing started to cry.
“Aunt, it’s all over. Don’t cry.”
"He is the most affectionate and ruthless. No matter who he is in love with, he spends money like water but never makes any promises, nor will he agree to give birth to his children. Some concubines can't stand it any longer, so he will give them generous gifts. Go. So, you have no children. You only have two brothers and one sister. Similarly, your grandfather and grandmother only gave birth to your father and the following six aunts. "
Master Qing and Yibai looked at each other silently.
“Look, do you want to tell the girl about this?”
Yibai thought about it: "I think we can mention Aunt Xiuyun and ask Miss Wen to inquire about the news within her ability. But don't talk about the relationship with the Bai family. That old lady is Miss Wen's mother-in-law. Auntie It's his father-in-law's concubine again. It would be bad if people knew that she was inquiring.
Furthermore, aunt, you can basically confirm that there is no such person in the Bai family. To take a step back, even if this aunt has a connection with the Bai family, given her current status, I'm afraid it would be useless to recognize her. "
Master Qing nodded, "You are thoughtful."
Yan Zhu entered the shop and looked at the snacks placed on the counter...
But I’m a little confused, why are half of them similar to the ones in my own store?
“Gu Yue, look, it’s so strange!” She approached Gu Yue, pulled his sleeves, and whispered.
Feeling her blue breath and gentle touch, Gu Yue's heart was pounding. Happiness came so quickly, and he was not prepared...
So, I don’t understand what Yan Zhu means by being strange at all.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Yan Zhu added: "The dim sum here is the same as in our store! However, some of them are made by me..."
Hearing "we" again, Gu Yue smiled with her white teeth exposed.
The clerk in the store was very enthusiastic: "Sir, what do you two want?"
Yan Zhu pointed to one of them, which was her best, "This one, and this one, this one...these five kinds, all weighing half a catty!"
“Okay!”
“Here, let’s try two pieces first.”
The boy quickly wrapped two pieces in paper and gave them one piece each.
Yan Zhu was very eager, and her little eyebrows wrinkled as soon as she entered the mouth.
Gu Yue took a small bite and didn't even eat it.
Yan Zhu curled her lips. She had money in her purse and took it to pay the bill.
Gu Yue looked around and heard someone making a noise behind her. When she walked over to take a look, she saw the cook who had gone back to the shop to find work, with her hands on her hips and lecturing a few people.
He narrowed his eyes and realized something.
Hurry back and say something in Yan Zhu’s ear.
Yan Zhu’s eyes widened: “Really?! I’ll go take a look!”
Gu Yue grabbed her and whispered: "I'll check back later!"
Yan Zhu was actually very excited, her eyes were shining and she nodded frequently!
She is so cute...
