Chapter 80: It's New Year
86_86270 Qin Mengdie also saw her father's helplessness: "Then I won't send it." Turning around, he pulled Hong Lie and said, "My brother, my complexion has been much better recently." ”
Hong Lie pulled Qin Mengdie: "Sister, I listened to the eldest aunt and the second sister, you were bullied by your cousin?" ”
Qin Mengdie felt that the closest person to her in this family was this younger brother: "Sister is fine, just grounded for a few days, this is not coming out, you can still go to my sister in the future." ”
"But I'm worried about death, my cousin and cousin are very fierce, don't meet them if you can go around." Qin Honglie couldn't hide the fear in his eyes when he mentioned the second uncle's family.
Qin Haichuan was a little uncomfortable when he heard Hong Lie's words: "This is our family, why do you have to avoid them, Hong Lie doesn't have to be afraid, there is a father." ”
Qin Mengdie also knew that he couldn't disobey his parents in ancient times: "Father, and grandmother, let's really try to have as little conflict with them as possible, anyway, they will leave after the New Year." ”
"Hey, I'm stuck in my family. You all go back, you have to go to your grandmother's house in the evening, go back and pack up. "When it comes to this matter, Qin Haichuan really has a headache.
Qin Mengdie took out two thousand taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them to Qin Haichuan: "Father, I know that you don't have a lot of money in your hands, you can take this money up and down during the Spring Festival, you haven't been promoted again for so many years, it's just that it's just about dredging." ”
Qin Haichuan didn't answer: "You are still a child, how can you spend your money as a father, and keep it as a dowry." ”
"I don't lack money in my hands, not to mention that I will earn more next year from those transactions, if you use it, just tell me, by the way, father, when it comes to dowry, I remember, do I still have my mother's dowry list? Over the years, my mother's things have been taken away by my grandmother and aunt, and even if I can't come back, I have to have a number in my heart. Qin Mengdie has been thinking about this, but it is not good to ask her father directly, and if she has the opportunity to mention it by the way.
Qin Haichuan sighed: "Back then, your mother was in a hurry, and the aftermath was all done by the eldest aunt, and then she moved in, I think maybe in her place, there was still your grandmother in charge of the chaos at that time, and it is estimated that she can't find it, I also know that they are greedy for your mother's things, and in the future, your father will prepare more dowry for you to compensate." ”
Qin Mengdie didn't want to embarrass Qin Haichuan, so she quickly explained: "Doesn't my father understand me?" I'm not here for things, but I want to leave some thoughts, and I also want Hong Yeol to give his wife some mother's jewelry when he gets married. ”
"This is really difficult to do now, don't tell it yet, I have a chance to find out the tone of your grandmother and your aunt, if they know that you are poor, it is estimated that there is really a dowry list and it will be ruined." Qin Haichuan frowned, and when he said this, he obviously felt some remorse and self-blame.
Qin Mengdie saw her father's embarrassment, and she didn't want to say more: "Then thank you, father, Hong Lie and I will go back." As he spoke, he put the silver ticket on the desk and left with the pair.
Qin Haichuan was also a little surprised when he opened the silver ticket, his daughter was really generous to herself, it seems that this daughter is really not a thing in the pool. Two thousand taels is not a small amount, and for a boudoir woman to come up with so much money, it really scared Qin Haichuan.
Qin Mengdie didn't go to the old lady's courtyard so early in the evening, seeing that the time was almost over, she walked with Shui Ling pacing, and when she entered the courtyard, she was really there, and she sat down with her grandfather and grandmother, and the family banquet began.
The first dish turned out to be hot pot, the old lady saw the maid bring the hot pot, and quickly stood up: "This is the most famous food in the capital now, hot pot, few of you have seen it, this is Haishan in order to give me a taste, asked a friend to get it, such two pots are rare, you are all blessed by Haishan today, try it quickly, presumably you will not be able to eat it in the future." ”
The second aunt sent this thing herself, and the fourth aunt also had it, but there was no need to say anything, they all ate a few bites, the dipping sauce almost didn't have any ingredients, it wasn't very delicious, and there were no balls or anything. But the others really haven't eaten it, but this new thing is interested, and I can't help but eat a few more bites.
The second old man, Qin Haishan, felt that he had a lot of face and stood up and said: "I don't often come to the capital, but I also know a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and I even have some contacts with the people around the eldest prince. ”
The old lady smiled, looking at her son giving herself a long face, and an old face bloomed with a smile: "Yes, our Haishan is powerful, what if we are not officials, there are so many nobles I know, the main thing is to be able to do things, boss, you give the second child more family this year, presumably he also needs to spend money on this courtesy." ”
Qin Haichuan has been brainwashed by Qin Mengdie recently, not to mention that he still has his daughter's money, and he has not been smooth in his career over the years, because he has no money to do anything, and he no longer follows the words of the old lady: "Mother also knows the economic situation of our family, and I have a lot of favors and courtesies for the New Year, and my official position has not changed for many years if I don't move around in previous years, and I am not young anymore. ”
The old lady nodded and said loudly: "The boss is right, he represents the Qin family, and the glorious lintel will also rely on the boss in the future, and the second child has nothing to make a living now, what do you do with that extra money." ”
The old lady's face darkened: "The second child has no official position, so he needs more connections, and even if he does business in the future, don't you have to know people?" If the second child had been promoted to a scholar in the position of boss, maybe he would have become prime minister, but the opportunity was not good. ”
Qin Mengdie wanted to laugh when she heard this: Do you have the ability to sit in your father's position first, what kind of thoughts is this, but it's none of her own business, she doesn't want to talk more today, she doesn't want to make trouble, so she hurried back after eating. Today, I said that I would go to Xiangwang's Mansion in the evening to accompany Feng Yuyu to make dumplings and eat.
The old lady glared at the old lady: "You are biased, we are all supported by the boss, why do you talk like this, the boss is better than listening to your mother, let's eat, it's a big holiday, can you not make everyone angry?" ”
The old lady didn't dare to speak, she lowered her head to eat, and after eating, the old lady began to give red envelopes to juniors.
Starting from Qin Mengdie, Qin Mengdie stepped forward: "I wish my grandfather and grandmother good health and a long life." The old lady handed over a red envelope and didn't look up at her.
Then there was Hong Lie, the second miss, the third miss, the fourth miss, and then Qin Hongfei, Qin Mengtian, and Qin Hongwu.
After they were all distributed, when they each walked to their seats, the second lady Qin Mengxin and the cousin Qin Mengtian bumped, and the red envelopes of both fell to the ground, Qin Mengxin didn't care, picked up the two red envelopes, and took one at random When she was about to hand it to Qin Mengtian, the old lady couldn't hold her breath: "You guys bring the red envelopes over and I'll take a look, don't mess up." ”
Everyone was stunned, aren't all children the same? The old lady said casually: "Look at everything, not all of them are the same, just one is not good, always do something useless." ”
The old lady didn't follow: "If I say no, I can't do it, bring it over." ”
Qin Mengxin was not a worry-free winner, so she quickly poured out the contents of the two red envelopes while the old lady didn't speak, everyone was dumbfounded, one red envelope was a gold leaf, and the other was a silver leaf. Qin Mengdie was also curious, and when she took it out, she saw that it was also a silver leaf, and Hong Lie also took it out as a silver leaf, and the third and fourth ladies were all silver leaves.
Qin Haichuan felt uncomfortable: "Mother, I want to ask, the difference between the children's red envelopes is a bit big, right?" ”
The old lady coughed angrily: "Let you be eccentric, you go to the second child in the future, I'm here with the boss, I'm back in the room, out of sight and quiet, you all go back, in the future, our family will cancel the red envelope, don't send it, and the boss doesn't have that money this year, don't give the second child too much." Without looking back, he walked out of the flower hall, leaving behind a group of people who were already in different moods.
The old lady blushed and hurriedly explained: "You see I'm old, I always like to help the incapable, the boss is an official and a high salary, isn't the second child having no livelihood, I am also helping them in disguise, don't worry too much about the big house, I also have a hard time, you see that I have been strict with the boss over the years, but I have also cultivated the boss well, I am not ashamed to be biased towards the second child, the second child has nothing to do." As he spoke, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his tears.
These words made everyone unable to say anything, but the old lady left, and it did make Qin Haichuan quite angry, and they all quit one after another.
Everyone came out of the old lady's yard one after another, Qin Mengdie didn't care about it originally, knowing that her grandmother was eccentric, it would be better to go back to the yard early.
When she came back, she saw Feng Yuye waiting for her, the two went to Xiangwang's Mansion, Feng Yuye had already dismissed his subordinates, and took Qin Mengdie directly to the kitchen, Qin Mengdie began to make noodles, and asked Feng Yuye to chop the stuffing and the two of them prepared to make dumplings, and the lower limit of the secret guards was refreshed again, and King Xiang cooked
