Chapter 204: Quid pro quo
"This lady, our young owner is indeed a woman, she is the young lady of Shangshu Mansion, yesterday she took a little girl who was only ten years old into the shop, and bought the purest blood jade bracelet for the little girl out of her own pocket, maybe she was afraid that the little girl would know the price and refuse to accept it! The young lady only paid three taels of silver. secretly asked the shopkeeper to deduct the insufficient silver taels from the bill. In order to let Mei Niang buy jewelry, the shop guy actually told Mei Niang the secret behind Caiyun's back.
"What does your young owner have to do with that little girl, is that girl her daughter?" Mei Niang asked deliberately.
Hearing Mei Niang say that the girl was the daughter of the Shaodong family, the guy hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Our Shaodong family has only been married for more than a year, where can there be such a big daughter, and her son is just three months old." ”
"It seems that we have misunderstood your young owner."
"This lady, having said so much, do you buy jewelry or not?" The shopkeeper said a little impatiently, you must know that these secrets are not allowed to be told to outsiders.
"Then I'll take a look!"
Mei Niang bought a pair of earrings for Xiaoru and a beaded flower for herself, and the two left the jewelry store.
After the two left the jewelry shop, Mei Niang took Xiaoru shopping again, bought some daily necessities, and the two went shopping until noon, and then took Xiaoru into the restaurant.
Look at the table full of food, and a little wine. Xiaoru said excitedly: "Sister, you want so much delicious food, what if we can't finish eating?" ”
Mei Niang smiled: "If we can't finish eating, we will pack it and take it back to eat, anyway, there are no these good things to eat in Shangshu Mansion." ”
Full of wine and food, Mei Niang took Xiao Ru to Yanchun Tower, Hu Ma saw that Mei Niang came back with Xiao Ru today, and hurriedly greeted: "Xiao Ru, you are back, sue me, do you miss Hu Ma." ”
Xiao Ru grinned and said reluctantly; "Xiaoru also misses Mama Hu."
Seeing that there were no guests to greet, Mama Hu simply called Mei Niang to her room to talk.
Mei Niang heard Mama Hu say that she would let her go to her room, and hurriedly said to Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, you go around, Mama Hu and I have something to say." ”.
Seeing Xiaoru nodding, Mei Niang followed Mama Hu to her room.
After Mei Niang entered the room and sat down, Hu Ma looked at Mei Niang and said, "Mei Niang, when you were in Yanchun Tower, how did Hu Ma treat you?" ”
"Mama Hu has always been good to Mei Niang, if it weren't for Mama Hu, Mei Niang would have starved to death on the streets." Mei Niang hated Mama Hu at the time, hated her for letting herself fall into the red dust, and then thought about it, so she didn't hate it, just imagine that Mama Hu didn't deceive herself to Yanchun Tower, and she was a homeless child, and sooner or later she would freeze to death and starve to death on the street.
"Mei Niang, for so many years, I have long regarded you as my own children, and now Yan Chunlou is about to close, I don't have anything, I have some savings in my hand, I can support the elderly, but what about your sisters, without Yan Chunlou, how do you want them to live, they have been here since they were children, and when they come out of here, they don't even have a place to live." Mama Hu thought about it, and wiped her eyes and tears.
"Then Mama Hu, what are your plans?" Mei Niang couldn't help asking.
"What can I plan, I'm an old woman, I want to be beautiful or not, I want financial resources and no financial resources." Mama Hu sighed and said.
"Then how can we bring Yan Chunlou back to life?" Mei Niang also wants to help those sisters.
Mama Hu looked at Mei Niang and said, "Mei Niang wants to bring Yan Chunlou back to life, there is only one way." It's you who come back to play the piano and sing. ”
"But I'm already the young lady of Shangshu Mansion, how can I come back to play the piano and sing music?" Mei Niang blinked, she also wanted to come back and earn some silver taels, but if she let people know that a young lady of Shangshu Mansion was still nostalgic for a place like Qinglou, would she be gossiped about?
Mama Hu knew Mei Niang's scruples, and she also knew that she was kind-hearted, so she deliberately said: "Mei Niang, you don't have to be too embarrassed, if it really doesn't work, we will close the door." ”
"Mama Hu gave me two days to think about it."
"That's good, but don't take too long, we can wait, those sisters of yours in this Yanchun Building can't wait." Mama Hu looked at Mei Niang and asked.
Mei Niang took Xiaoru to say goodbye to Hu Ma and the sisters with a heavy heart, and returned to Shangshu Mansion.
In the evening, Mei Niang came to Caiyun's residence alone, Lu Caiyun was playing chess with Chen Bo in the guest room, and heard Xiaochun say that Mei Niang was coming, and she was busy asking her to bring Mei Niang in.
After Mei Niang gave the two of them a salute, she sat aside, looking at Mei Niang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Caiyun looked at Chen Bo and said, "Xianggong, you go back to the room first!" We sisters say conversation. ”
Chen Bo smiled: "You women just have a lot of things. ”
Seeing Chen Bo leave, Mei Niang got straight to the point and said, "Sister, I went to the 'Yunxia Jewelry Shop' today." ”
Caiyun smiled: "Say it!" Are you going to check my old bottom? ”
"Sister, you misunderstood, I'm just curious about a blood jade bracelet, why the shopkeeper only sells three taels of silver." Mei Niang said.
"So you suspect that I opened the shop?" Caiyun asked.
"Sister, after I went in, the guy in the store told me all about your details in order to sell me jewelry." Mei Niang said unhurriedly.
"Mei Niang, I think my Lu Caiyun is good to your master and servant, why do you still check my details behind your back, do you want to take this in exchange, say it! How much silver do you want? What I have on the road is silver."
"Sister, you misunderstood Mei Niang, the reason why Mei Niang checked the jewelry shop was just curious, how could I ask for my sister's silver, I was just curious, sister, the young master treated you like this, why do you still hide it from him?"
Caiyun looked at Mei Niang and asked, "Do you suspect that I have an outside heart for Xianggong?" ”
"Mei Niang didn't say that, she just felt that the young master was a good person and shouldn't be kept in the dark." Mei Niang didn't understand why Lu Caiyun wanted to hide Chen Bo's own jewelry shop.
Caiyun looked at Mei Niang with a smile and said, "Say?!" You are secretly investigating me, not for money, but for what? ”
"I think of Yanchunlou singing, but I'm afraid that the people in Shangshufu won't agree." Mei Niang really didn't want to mention any conditions, but she still said it.
Caiyun smiled, as far as you mentioned this condition, I will tell you the truth! I really can't be the master of this, or you go to the father-in-law to report me and open another jewelry shop without telling him. ”
"Sister, what do you think of Mei Niang, how could I do that kind of thing, I'm just curious and want to ask you, you don't want to say it, you can just stop talking."
"Xiang Gong is a good gambler, every time he loses money, I will pay it back for him, and every time more than once, I hide it from him because I am afraid that he will know that we have silver, and then take it to gamble." The clouds are not allowed to use the way-
