Chapter 25 Baked Cakes
CHAPTER XXV
Wan Ning sat in the carriage, and after a while, Kung Fu Tong's mother also got into the car out of breath.
Wan Ning looked at Mother Tong, who had a layer of sweat on her forehead, "In the future, there will be more credible people around me, and my mother will not have to work so hard." β
"The slave is not afraid of hard work, but she is afraid that she will not be able to help the young lady," said Tong's mother, "and the uncle and wife have asked clearly." β
Wan Ning nodded, Mother Tong was still about to speak, Wan Ning stretched out her hand to her lips and made a silent motion, and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
A few people walked out of Li's house, and Master Li was followed by a tall and handsome man, although he was far away, he could still see his clear eyes, and next to him was a middle-aged man who was over forty years old and wearing regular clothes and smiling.
"Did Mother Tong look at someone she looked familiar with?"
Mother Tong shook her head, "The slave maid has never seen the cousin of the young master of the Chen family, and she doesn't know it." β
Wan Ning asked her aunt to help inquire about Chen Jiran's cousin, but she didn't expect Chen Jiran's cousin to come to Li's house today.
Wan Ning lowered the curtain, "That's the person." β
That young man is Chen Jiran's cousin.
Mother Tong coughed, and the carriage began to move forward.
"Why did Miss figure out who was the young master of the Cui family who saved you?"
Anyone would want to know who was their savior, she was grateful to this young master of the Cui family in her heart, and she was also a little curious, why it was so coincidental that the young master of the Cui family brought two girls who knew how to water to the Yao family.
"What did my aunt say?"
When she saw Brother Kun before, she only cared about talking to Brother Kun, and forgot about the young master of the Cui family, she thought that it was not a simple matter to inquire about a person, but she didn't expect the news to come out so soon.
"Uncle and Mrs. said, this young master of the Cui family, about our family also knows, maybe our family still had a life-saving grace for him in the past, if so, the young master of the Cui family saved you, and it can be regarded as repaying the favor."
There is still such a thing, now that I hear this, how do I feel that this Young Master Cui is specially here to repay the kindness of the Shen family.
Wan Ning felt more and more that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
β¦β¦
Shen Jingyuan was thinking about the Cui family.
When it comes to the Cui family, you should think of a cabinet minister and a double book, the maiden family of the first queen, the Cui family.
The family of businessmen should also be aware of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and they have a lot of treasures for the dignitaries in the court, but he really had never heard of this Cui Yiting before.
The first queen's maiden family name is Cui, the queen's younger brother Cui Shitu is a scholar of the Household Department Shangshu Jinshen Palace, Cui Shitu Zhishi after Cui Shitu's younger brother Cui Shirong started from the county order, and now he is also the head of the household department, Cui Shirong's son Cui Yicheng was born last month, his cousin reminded him to send a big gift to Cui Shangshu, he didn't listen, now the salt is becoming more and more difficult to do, the cousin complains that he is not reasonable, he should tell one thing with the Cui family back then, and Master Cui may help.
The Shen family and the Cui family do have some friendship, when the elder brother was still alive, he once saved a child from the strongman, who was the young master of the Cui family.
He thought of Cui Yiting from Cui Yicheng.
Since they are all Yizi, they should be a family, but Cui Shirong has only one son in his family.
Besides, if Cui Shirong's son came to Taixing, the whole Taixing would have been boiling, and he would be able to inquire about it.
It was his wife who reminded him that he was not of the same clan.
Cui Shirong's fellow sect, he remembered the early Scholar Cui Shishi.
Cui Yiting should not be the son of Scholar Cui, the child that his brother saved back then.
If so, what a coincidence.
In this way, it is a return and a report.
Shen Jingyuan was thinking about it, when the steward of the front yard came to say, "Master, the Cui family has come to give gifts." β
As soon as I thought of the Cui family, the Cui family came to give gifts......
Shen Jingyuan looked at the steward, "Who sent it?" β
The steward said: "It's the Cui family's descendant who took the Cui family's post." β
The steward sent the post to Shen Jingyuan, and Shen Jingyuan opened it and saw two names, father Cui Shitu and son Cui Yiting.
It's really the son of the Cui University scholar's family.
"Come in, please." Shen Jingyuan loosened his brows, with a smile on his face, he still had to thank Cui Yiting for Wanning's matter.
The steward should go out, and after a while, he brought the descendants of the Cui family.
The Cui family saluted Shen Jingyuan.
"Master Shen, my son-in-law asked me to deliver something, thank you to the Shen family for saving me back then, I will let people put things in the yard, please take a look at them."
Stuff doesn't matter.
Shen Jingyuan said: "It's ...... for me to thank you."
Shen Jingyuan was about to talk about Wanning, but the Cui family had already interrupted him.
"My son-in-law said that he would repay his kindness with kindness, and from then on the two would not owe each other."
Shen Jingyuan's smile suddenly froze on his face.
The whole room became very quiet, and Shen Jingyuan could hear his own heartbeat.
What does Cui Yiting mean by this?
What does it mean to repay kindness without owing oneself?
Since the two don't owe each other, what do you want people to do with gifts? Do you mean to say these things?
The surprise and surprise made Shen Jingyuan speechless.
The Cui family had expected it, and saluted respectfully, "The young master of my family said that he had eaten the food of the Shen family when he was a child, and now he wants to return it." β
Return the meal.
Shen Jingyuan had never heard of such a thing.
Someone will come to return the meal solemnly.
The Cui family said these words quietly, "Master Shen, the little one will retire when he delivers the things." β
Shen Jingyuan waved his hand and asked people to send the Cui family out.
After the footsteps, the whole yard could only hear the birdsong from time to time, Shen Jingyuan looked at a few boxes covered with red cloth, he walked a few steps quickly to the box, bent down and opened the box at once.
The aroma of sesame seeds wafted out.
A whole box of pancakes seemed to be steaming.
Hot pancakes.
I'm really here to return the meal.
Shen Jingyuan's face sank completely.
β¦β¦
The carriage stopped before it reached Yao's house, and the mother-in-law's voice came from outside the carriage, "The slave wants to say something to Miss Yao Qi." β
Mother Tong opened the curtain, and Wanning saw Mother Su beside her aunt.
There was no one left and right, and Su's mother immediately stepped forward, "Miss Seven, my wife asked me to tell you, didn't you inquire about that Cui ......"
Wan Ning nodded, "Mom got in the car and said." β
Mother Tong opened the curtain, and Mother Su boarded the carriage in two steps.
didn't have time to catch her breath, so Su's mother said, "Miss Seven asked the Cui family, the Cui family just sent a gift to our house." β
That Cui Yiting just left the Li family and gave a gift to his uncle?
Mother Su's face was a little strange, Wan Ning raised her eyes and asked, "But what's wrong?" β
Mother Su swallowed, "That young master of the Cui family sent three boxes full of baked cakes, saying that he wanted to exchange for our family's food." β
Mother Tong almost exclaimed.
Three boxes of baked cakes.
What kind of meal is this?
Wan Ning steadied her mind, "What did Uncle say?" β
"My old man is very angry, I don't know what the young master of the Cui family means......"
Wan Ning said slowly: "Pay off the debt, and from now on, the two will be cleared." From saving her to going to her uncle's house to give gifts, Cui Yiting has the same meaning.
Mother Su was busy with her head, "The Cui family came here, and that's what they said, Mrs. said that she never offended the Cui family, how could there be such a thing, those things are placed in the yard, and I don't know what to do," said and paused, "Let Miss Seven be careful, and then I heard that Young Master Cui, stay away." β
"It's easy to do," Wan Ning looked up, "I have a way, my mother can go back and tell Uncle SΓΉ." β
