Chapter Twenty-Three: Shock
After a while, Yun Niang came back, and the two were chattering and joking, and Qing'er couldn't figure out what they were happy about?
All the silver of the broken melon belongs to the mother of the fruit, and the ten girls can't touch a point! And she still doesn't even know who the owner is, bald? Xue Gongzi? Could it be that she has been honing in Guoguo Building for all these years, and she has really cultivated to the point that it doesn't matter who it is?
Let's talk about Yun Niang, what is she happy about, for Mother Guo, or for Ten Girls?
Qing'er sighed secretly, feeling that after joining in this big fun, she must get the fish talisman as soon as possible and leave this place, it is too ruined here!
was chatting only when they heard a commotion outside, ghosts crying and wolves howling, Yun Niang and the ten girls were so frightened that they hid in the inner room and didn't dare to come out.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and three messengers escorted Guo's mother, Cai'er, Siqin, and two or three old mothers into the room. As soon as Siqin entered the door, she ran to the ten girls crying and was stopped by the servants.
An errand stood in front of the door and shouted, "Be honest with me!" No one is allowed to go out without an adult's order! ”
Qing'er looked outside the door and seemed to have two errand guards guarding the door, but when she wanted to take a closer look, the door was closed.
The ten girls ran to Guo's mother, crying and asking about the situation, and were scolded by Guo's mother, and stepped aside aggrievedly.
Yun Niang walked over and sat down with Mother Guo, poured a cup of hot tea, Mother Guo picked up the tea and sent it halfway, suddenly put it on the table, sighed and said, "It's me who is too greedy!" ”
It turned out that after Guo's mother went back, Xue Gongzi really took the initiative to come to the door to talk about the monthly money, and offered a price of 1,000 taels, but Guo's mother still wanted to hang his appetite again, so she said that she would make a price in public.
I don't want to officially start the price, and Sun Yuanwai paid 1,200 taels on his head! The melon feast is the final word.
It's nothing, the one with the highest price gets it, and it makes sense through the ages!
Xue Gongzi has a lot of mouths, and he ridiculed Sun Yuan for not knowing the price, and the transaction that can be answered by 1,000 taels does not cost 200 taels more, and he spent unjustly in vain, and he bought a little girl in the county town at the price of buying an Oiran in Zhongdu, which is a big wrong!
That Sun Yuanwai didn't lose, he just said that it was difficult to buy money and his heart was good, and he could afford to spend it left and right, so he didn't have to worry about taking gold bricks to fill the moat.
One sentence made everyone laugh, and Xue Gongzi left in shame.
When it was delivered, Guo's mother knew that Sun Yuanwai was acting for others, and the real owner was the old customer who looked like a prawn - Jia Yuanwai!
Of course, Mother Guo was even more happy, the ten girls were hung to the golden turtle, and Yun Niang's grandson was also saved!
At the moment, after the delivery of three times and five divided by two, he was about to send someone to pick up ten girls to go to the cave room, but suddenly crashed into a team of errand officers, saying that someone reported that Guoguo Building was hiding homeless people and wanted to seal the building and search!
It's not easy to talk to people, and they didn't even accept the silver stuffed by Guo's mother, so they couldn't help but say that the building was sealed.
In a panic, the mother jumped up and down, apologized to the distinguished guests present, and coaxed and persuaded her, and then discussed with the errand for a long time, and promised a few girls to them, before letting the guests go one by one.
After taking care of these guests, Guo's mother got the news, but it turned out that Xue Gongzi was unhappy and asked his brother-in-law to send someone to play the field!
After Mother Guo snorted angrily, she poured down the tea in one go, patted her thigh and sighed:
"Then Xue Gongzi really can't afford to offend, his brother-in-law is the prince of Liangzhou County. It was also when I saw that I had an eye for money, and I forgot about this relationship for a while, causing this catastrophe. Fortunately, I finished the formalities with my hands and feet, and the old customer's money was also paid, and I couldn't run away, otherwise I would have really big eyes tonight, and I would have opened a business tomorrow with what face! ”
When the ten girls heard that the delivery was over, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know what to think of, and they cried with a whimper.
"What to cry about, great day! No one is allowed to find bad luck for me today, and I will collect all my tears! Especially you, the old guest smashed 1,200 taels of silver, and now the person is still in the hall, if you don't serve well tonight, don't blame my mother for my cruel methods! ”
When the ten girls heard this, they immediately stopped crying, lowered their heads and shrunk in their chairs, and they didn't dare to come out.
At this time, Yun Niang leaned over and asked, "Mom threw that old guest and grandson in the hall...... Isn't it ......"
"Don't worry, can I still not have this eyesight? It was the old guest who didn't worry about this dead girl, so he specially asked me to come over to accompany her! I am not worried about you, for fear that those who are on errands will do evil! Don't worry, there is still Uncle Liu watching in the hall. ”
Yun Niang nodded and said slowly: "This matter is a little strange, Sun Yuan is very good in Liangzhou City, and he is very familiar with the state government and county government, how can he be so faceless?" ”
"Well, after all, he's just a businessman! No matter how close you are to the people of officialdom on weekdays, it may not work if you really encounter major events! Besides, that Cai County Lord is famous for his fear of guilt, and Xue Gongzi is the only seedling of her wife's family for three generations. Alas, in the end, it's all my fault for getting carried away! If you want to say that the majority of the numbers have been given, why bother with him if you are short of two hundred taels of silver! This old guest is not a local, and he can't count on it in the future, but he offended a local overlord, which really outweighed the loss! ”
"Mom, don't say sad things, what a big deal! These sons and brothers have never been qualitative, what a beautiful girl she looks at for three days and then turns her face and forgets, tonight there is such a scene, how atmospheric it is! As long as we still have a good girl here, are you afraid that he won't come to the door? ”
"That's what I said, but that Xue Gongzi is quite kind to the ten girls, and he has been waiting for two years."
Mom laughed again, then when won't Gongzi Xue come to this street for half a day? Mom just put her heart in her belly......"
While he was talking, the messenger opened the door, pushed Sanniang in, and closed the door again.
Guo's mother stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come to this house too?" What happened? They didn't mess around, did they? ”
Sanniang smiled: "I'm here to be my mother's companion, since the hottest sisters in this building are all here, how can I be missing?!" Again, I think my mother must be angry and unhappy now, so I want to tell my mother good news and make her happy. ”
"What's the good news, the officers and soldiers are leaving?"
"That's not it, it's just that last time my mother said that I have reported the value to Wang Yuanwai, he replied the day before yesterday, I see that my mother is busy breaking the melon banquet, so I didn't dare to alarm you! Now is the right time to say it to relieve your worries. Alas, it looks like I'm leaving here, and I'm really reluctant to do it! ”
"He agreed?"
Sanniang said proudly: "My Wang Lang has always said that one is one, and two is two, and he has responded to it, and he will not be wrong again." ”
"That's a good idea! You're not young anymore, and I'm relieved that you've finally found this good home! When will he come? ”
Sanniang pursed her lips and complained: "It is said that there is a flood in Jinyang or something, and it is delayed on the road, and now it is not even convenient to communicate, or I will reply to the letter in the morning, but I am afraid that it will take half a month for people to arrive!" ”
Yun Niang smiled: "Congratulations to Sanniang, today is really a good day, the ten girls broke the melon to 1,200 taels, and Sanniang is going to redeem herself again, it's really a double happiness!" Sanniang doesn't need to be in a hurry, redemption is a big deal, half a month is just the time to prepare, and then I will ask you to drink a cup of wine. ”
Sanniang smiled proudly: "Hehe, thank you, I also hope that you can find a wishful husband as soon as possible!" Don't worry, I will prepare the best wine, and I won't get drunk when the time comes! ”
After saying that, he turned around again, smiled at the ten girls, and said in a weird manner:
"I heard that my new brother-in-law has gray hair, but he is seventy years old? Yo, it's really appropriate, the begonia flowers embroidered on your skirt today, isn't this exactly 'a pear flower pressing begonia'? Haha, our ten girls are really elegant! I'm here to say hello to the ten girls! In fact, you don't have to worry, the older a man is, the gentler he becomes, you are a good blessing! Oh, by the way, don't say that my sister didn't take care of you, don't be too exciting in the cave room, be careful that your brother-in-law's body can't bear it! ”
After saying that, Wu laughed more than once, and the ten girls returned the salute embarrassedly, said hello awkwardly with red eyes, bit her lip and walked away depressed.
Guo's mother glared at Sanniang, but Sanniang only pretended not to see it, and sat with her head held high triumphantly.
