Chapter 115: If you want to grab it, you have to go into battle in person
Li Qianqian and his entourage did not plan to stay in Zedu City for a long time, but Zhang Lao was a little sick this time, and he was sore and weak for two days in a row.
Fortunately, he has been recuperating well in recent years, and the doctor said that he was probably in a hurry for days, and the old man was weak and couldn't stand the fatigue, so he would be fine after a few days of rest, and he didn't even prescribe medicine.
Because of Zhang Lao's illness, Lord Cai and the others also followed to recuperate, and even the Lord Commander followed, and the sudden workload almost didn't tire Mother Ye down!
Li Qianqian thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to invite someone to come, who was a tall and thin woman, with a kind face and a lovely smile, and was a master who could speak well.
After saying a few words, Li Qianqian and the others were all amused by her.
Li Qianqian helped Ye's mother pick two girls who are good at cooking, one of them is not good at words, she laughs very cutely, and the other is not smiling, but both of them have very neat hands and feet, as soon as Ye's mother teaches, they can get started immediately, which is very talented.
Lord Cai and the commander of the imperial guard approached Li Qianqian that afternoon, saying that they hoped to send someone to learn how to boil medicinal food from Mother Ye.
Li Qianqian did not respond directly, but came back to ask Ye's mother, and Ye's mother responded with a smile, "One sheep is also released, and two sheep are also released, as long as the people they sent over have no other thoughts, and they devote themselves to cooking." ”
Li Qianqian smiled, although Mother Ye's words were simple, they were not easy to do.
Even the two newly picked by her own family, she can't be completely relieved! Not to mention that someone else sent them?
Money can make ghosts grind, and Lord Cai sent people over early the next morning when Li Qianqian was under Li Qianqian.
Lord Cai sent over a man and a woman, the man was the little eunuch beside him, and the woman was a servant who had followed him for many years.
The two people he sent over were his close confidants.
As for the commander, he sent a pair of beautiful sisters, who were sent by his ancestors to wait for him when he went out on this trip.
He said that he doesn't raise idlers, these two maids are not doing the work of waiting for people, and I don't know where his ancestor found it, Li Qianqian looked at her for a while, and said in his heart, the ancestor who led the adult's family was afraid that his grandson would not be close to wait outside, so he specially selected it, right?
Look at the delicate appearance of the weak wind, I really see pity! It's just that the ancestor is not worried that the grandson's wife has not married and the son has not been born, and the eldest son will rise first?
But this is something that the Commander has to worry about, so they won't do it for them!
After sending someone to lead them down to settle down, Mother Ye shook her head and said, "It seems that those two girls are in charge of the adult's family, and they specially came to be his aunt." ”
"Isn't his family afraid, he has the eldest son before the marriage is completed?"
Such a woman was probably sterilized at a very young age, just think about the sales of narcissus. ”
Mother Ye paused, "Some families are afraid that their sons will not tolerate the world's emotions because of their long-term relationship with their peers, so they want to arrange such a charming woman by their son's side, in order to guide the young man with strong blood and strength to get along with women closely." ”
Mother Ye's face turned red as she spoke, Li smiled and nodded, without asking more, Mother Ye breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "These two, also teach them to make soup and cook medicinal food?"
"Hmm. Li Qianqian nodded, "If they don't want to learn, just let them go, you don't have to mind." ”
"Yes. Mother Ye paused and said, "Actually, if they can learn a skill, even if they really become the concubines of the ruler in the future, they will not worry about decay and love." ”
Because of a skill, it is easy to gain a foothold in the backyard.
Li Qianqian didn't see it that way, "I think that if they really want to be concubines for the Commander, it's better not to learn cooking, so as not to be caught by this weakness in the future and calculate them." ”
Mother Ye was shocked when she heard Li Qianqian say this, and then reacted, too.
"Then, they ......" Mother Ye felt that the two maids who led the adults were really troublesome!
"Let them go, just don't let them near our things. Li Qian stroked his forehead, "I'm not afraid that they will be dishonest, but I'm afraid that they will hit other people with their ideas after the Lord Commander can't get through." ”
Such as Feng Gongzi's brother, as well as her third brother.
After Mother Ye reacted, she immediately raised her guard line, "Don't worry, I will ask people to watch them, and I will never give them a chance to step across the thunder pool."
Li Qianqian nodded.
Chunjiang came in with a post with a blank face, and Chunshou who followed her chattered endlessly.
"What's going on?" asked Mama Ye.
"The head of the Tong family has sent a post again. Chunshou counted with his fingers, "From the time we stayed, he immediately sent a post to invite a banquet, that day everyone was tired of hurrying, pushed, and the post came again early the next morning, and the head of the sect saw that Zhang Lao's body was not good, and he was not in a good mood, so he pushed it, and Lord Cai also pushed it." The post was sent over again, but it was still pushed. ”
Don't say it, I don't know, when Chunshou said this, everyone knew that they had only lived in Zedu City for three days, but there were already eight posts in this post.
"It can be seen that the enthusiasm of the head of the Tong family is really warm!" Li smiled lightly and took the post, the post was sprinkled with gold, and the font on the top was hairpin, which was very beautiful.
"It's a really good handwriting. Li Qianqian exclaimed.
Chunshou probe came over and took a look, "I asked, it was written by their family's Miss Tong Yayan." She said with a smile, "I heard that after learning that the head of the Tong family was the son-in-law, he was very active in striving to become a candidate for marriage." ”
Chunjiang glanced at her, "You went to talk to the steward who sent the post from the Tong family, and you were just asking about this?"
There are several favorite concubines of the head of the Tong family, but this Aunt Xu has given birth, she still has two sons and a daughter, and her wife also has two sons and a daughter. Chunshou is very satisfied with his ability to find out the news. "The four sons are in charge of the inns and restaurants in the east and west cities, and the east city of the house management has lost a lot of money a few days ago, but the business in the west city is very hot. ”
Chunjiang added, "There are rumors that the reason why the activities held by the inns and restaurants in Dongcheng failed and lost a lot seems to be that the restaurants and inns of the Wu family have long known what kind of activities they are going to launch, so they have already responded to it, and the Tong family did not react in time, and Shengsheng was caught off guard by the Wu family restaurant and inn."
After an event is held, let alone making money, it will be lost to death!
Not to mention the similarity of the activities on both sides, it is obvious that the Wu family is removing the activities of the Tong family from the side, and the price is also calculated more accurately, so they made a lot of money without losing money.
The Tong family is not without capable people, and Mrs. Tong's mother's family is a prestigious family in Yuecheng, and the manpower is also very sufficient.
However, even if you know that Aunt Xu is doing it behind her back, there is no substantial evidence, and there is no evidence, and it is really difficult for people to take it seriously.
"Tong Yayan's aunt must have fought hard to let us move to an inn in Xicheng. Chunshou walked to the long case by the wall, opened the incense burner, and put in a piece of incense block, which was made by Lan Tang before marriage, the taste was fresh, and it was suitable for use on cloudy days.
That Aunt Xu was still making a fuss, asking the head of the Tong family to agree to set up the banquet in Xilai Restaurant in Xicheng. The grinning willow came into the house with a tea tray.
"How do you know?" asked Chunshou dissatisfied.
Yang Liu smiled, "This is what the little second brother in the inn said, the little second brother said, obviously we are already living in their Gaojin Inn, why do you want us to move to the inn in Xicheng to live." ”
It seems that the people below also have their own masters, Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "We don't get involved in the internal strife of the Tong family, but it's better to take a trip to this invitation, so as not to keep coming." "It's annoying!
In the inner courtyard of the Tong family, Tong Yayan listened to the report of her henchman, and was so angry that she blushed and her neck was thick, "Did they really find out?"
"Yes. The henchman looked puzzled, "When my aunt dealt with them, she changed her makeup, how could she still be recognized?"
Tong Yayan glared at her angrily, "Is this the focus now?" she rubbed the cup on the table thoughtfully, "Could it be that the people of the Wu family saw that the matter had been settled, so they waited for an opportunity to throw this matter, so that our own family could be in a mess, and they could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
Not impossible. The maid said in her heart, but she put on a look of admiration on her face, "Miss is so powerful, she can see the bad heart of the Wu family." ”
Tong Yayan had something in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to care about the maid's mouth, "What is the eldest sister doing?"
Mrs. Accompanying her to pick out jewelry, Mrs. said that although the eldest lady did not want to attend the banquet, she naturally wanted the jewelry that should be given to her. “
Tong Yayan was half angry when she heard this, this time her father made a lot of money to make clothes and buy jewelry for her eldest sister, not to mention jewelry, and she didn't even have a handkerchief, but what happened?
I don't know if her father knows, is he angry?
The head of the Tong family was first angry with his wife and daughter, and then he was taught by his wife for most of the hour, and finally listened to his wife's opinion.
"Hou Ye's third son doesn't feel so easy to handle. The head of the Tong family's ears are still red, and his eyes are also red, but the person has recovered from his previous state of anger and red eyes.
"Hmph! Whose son-in-law is thinking about it?" Mrs. Tong sneered, "When my father first chose you as his son-in-law, you were able to do so, and you would not drag your feet in case of trouble. Besides, people are the sons of the Hou Ye, what are our identities, why do we want to take care of other people's sons?"
The head of the Tong family laughed, thinking of his father-in-law, he had no confidence in his heart, he deceived his old father-in-law at the beginning, Aunt Xu was an example, when Aunt Xu and his wife came to Zedu City, he knew that he had such a childhood sweetheart as Aunt Xu.
What did the old father-in-law say at that time? As long as you are really kind to my daughter, we don't care how many women you have outside, but when you return home, you have to treat her wholeheartedly, because she treats you sincerely and sincerely, and you should respond to this. Can't let her down in you.
He responded on the face, but in fact, he and Aunt Xu privately laughed at the innocence of the old man's father and daughter.
"My father was a headhunter when he was young, do you think he hasn't seen those tricks of yours?" Mrs. Tong revealed the bottom of her father.
The head of the Tong family was stupid when he heard it, the old father-in-law used to be a head catcher?
The Wei family is a prominent clan in Yuecheng, and the old father-in-law will be the head catcher, what kind of operation is this?
Mrs. Tong has been actively collecting information in the past few days since she was reminded by her daughter, she listened to her daughter's analysis, and brought her father and brother to her stewards, the master and servant sat down and had a good talk, after talking, the stewards were very pleased, and their eldest lady finally woke up.
It seems that Aunt Xu will not want to suppress the eldest lady in the future!
The dignified eldest lady of the Wei family was actually restrained by an aunt who was born as a maid, and I am afraid that no one will believe it when she says it, but it is the truth, so that people have to believe it.
It's okay now! The eldest lady is sober! Aunt Xu wants to step on the eldest lady's mother and son, it's impossible!
The head of the Tong family didn't know that his backyard was about to change.
When he was about to be carried away, he was woken up by his wife's slap in the ear, and after being reminded by his wife, he no longer forced his eldest daughter to attend the banquet, and informed Aunt Xu's mother and daughter that they were going to take Tong Yayan to attend, and the sons naturally wanted to go together, and everyone was actively preparing to attend.
But on the day of the banquet, Aunt Xu was also making a fuss about going.
Mrs. Tong sneered, "Since Aunt Xu is going, let her open her eyes! In the future, her daughter will marry into a high family! It's not good to make people laugh at her for not seeing the world and embarrass her daughter." ”
The head of the Tong family felt this deeply, so he agreed to let her go with him.
"It's just that no one at the banquet brought a concubine to attend, and Aunt Xu was bored at the banquet alone. Mrs. Tong thought for a while, waved her hand and asked her maid to dress up Aunt Xu, and after dressing up, Aunt Xu's pretty face turned black!
I know that this woman surnamed Wei is uneasy and kind-hearted.
"Aunt Xu is very unhappy? I'm thinking about you and letting you pretend to be the housekeeper mother next to the second miss, so that you can take care of the second miss closely, and secondly, you can observe your son-in-law candidate nearby, what's wrong with that?"
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it, but if she pretends to be a housekeeper mother to attend such an occasion, if it is known in the future, will it have a bad impact on her daughter?
It's just that Aunt Xu's worries, in the eyes of the head of the Tong family and his wife, are insignificant at all, and the main thing for the Tong family is that the leader can agree to this family affair as soon as possible.
Mrs. Tong thought that if she wanted to explain her two sons and find a way to get close to Third Young Master Li, it would be best if she could let herself secretly see him! Alas! As if she had just held the dough in her arms, she didn't expect that she would be able to leave the cabinet to become a wife and a mother in the blink of an eye! Life flies really fast!
Mrs. Tong sighed, and Aunt Xu seized the time and told her three children that she would definitely give a good impression to the Lord Commander today, and it was best to set down the matter of her daughter and Lord Commander today, but she knew that if she wanted to hurry, she would not be able to reach it, but there was always a voice in her heart, constantly urging her to hurry up and set things down, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
On the other side, Mrs. Nangong was also telling her daughter Yin Yin, "Remember, if you have the opportunity, even if you are unscrupulous, you must firmly grasp it." ”
"Got it. ”
