CHAPTER XXXV
Cao didn't dare to say anything more, and muttered with sorrow: "But what will Qing'er do in the future?" ”
"Don't worry about it, after today's events, I found that Qing'er, this girl is more powerful than we imagined, and the person who can marry our Qing'er in the future, even if he is not a prince and nobleman, must be a first-class outstanding man. You don't have to worry, this time Mrs. Gu owes me a favor, she promised that she would not leave Qing'er alone, and she would definitely work for Qing'er, so you can rest assured. ”
Cao Shi nodded, and couldn't help but change the topic: "Qing'er is indeed a good boy who can be reassured, but Qiu Tong ......"
Old Lady Ning sighed heavily and said, "Yes, the most tricky thing for us right now is Du Yatou." Then Du Yatou, who looks low-brow and pleasing to the eye on weekdays, why did she conflict with the girl of the Xue family? There is such a big incident, and her father and brother are not here, we can't ignore it, and we can't overstep our responsibilities, and we have to take care of Du Yatou's reputation, it's difficult to do......"
At this moment, a slender figure suddenly rushed in, startling both Old Lady Ning and the Cao family!
Du Qiutong, whose face was red and swollen by Xue Qianqian, threw himself at the feet of Mrs. Ning, and cried: "Old lady, I have been raised in the Ning family since I was a child, in my heart, the old lady is my own grandmother, I wanted to follow the old lady to see the world, but I didn't expect this incident, old lady, you must be the master for me!" I can only count on you! ”
Before Mrs. Ning could answer, Du Qiutong rushed over and hugged Cao's thigh, and howled sharply: "Auntie, my mother is gone, in my heart, you are as close as my mother, you must seek justice for me!" If this matter can't be resolved, even if I die, I won't be able to explain to my mother when I get to Jiuquan! ”
How could the Cao family ever see Du Qiutong's fierce appearance? couldn't help but be taken aback by Du Qiutong, and hurriedly went to help Du Qiutong, and said with relief: "The Ning family naturally won't ignore you, and what do you say about not dying, how unlucky." Come, let my aunt see, why is this little face beaten like this? And your hand, how did it get bitten like this? Poor boy......"
Du Qiutong still cried non-stop: "Auntie, I only have you, you must seek justice for me, otherwise I will really have no face to see people, I might as well die and go underground to find my mother......"
Cao sighed, and wanted to persuade again, but Ningxia Qing hurriedly came in from outside, and said to Du Qiutong as he walked: "Qiutong, you also said that the old lady took you to Gufu, since this is the case, even if you don't remind you, the old lady will definitely clean up the aftermath of the trouble you caused." And you don't have to leave my deceased aunt in front of my wife, if you make your wife sad, it's your fault. ”
Since Du Qiutong rushed in, Mrs. Ning has never said a word, and only then did she speak at this time, and said to Ning Ningqing: "Qing'er, you take Du Yatou down first to comfort her, let me have a conversation with your mother." ”
Ningxia Qing immediately replied to the old lady: "Yes." Then he grabbed Du Qiutong's arm and said, "Qiutong, aren't the old lady and the lady discussing your business?" If you suddenly break in, you will only disturb the old lady and the lady. Besides, Xue Qianqian must be in the same situation as you, and they are all rushing to ask Tan Ye to give an explanation, if you are looking for death and life, if you really die, won't you be defeated without a fight? ”
After speaking, Ning Xia Qing glanced at Mrs. Ning and Cao's family, and said, "Grandma and Mother will discuss it first, I'll take Qiu Tong down." Then he pulled Du Qiutong and left.
After Ningxia Qing took Du Qiutong away, Mrs. Ning sighed to Cao's family: "In the end, it is still Qing'er who knows the general sense of proportion...... That's it, now is not the time to think about Qing'er, what do you think about Du Yatou's matter? ”
Cao sighed: "Qiu Tong will only be in time for next year, and he is too young......"
Old Lady Ning glanced at the Cao family and said, "You think she's young, she doesn't think so." She keeps saying that we want us to call the shots for her, isn't that just showing her attitude? The most difficult thing to do at the moment is Deputy Lieutenant Xue's side, Deputy Lieutenant Xue must have the same plan as us, but what kind of family is Deputy Lieutenant Xue, we have to be compared with others. ”
Cao Shi echoed: "Yes, if only Qiu Tong is involved, it is not difficult to do, but the difficulty is that there is also a Xue girl, why did the two girls rush together?" ”
Old Mrs. Ning pondered and said: "Although we can't compare to Deputy Lieutenant Xue, but that Steward Tan is working under the hands of his own family, it is really not good, let's go and ask the family to come forward, I pondered, then Steward Tan has to be afraid of the face of the family." ”
Cao Shi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you for the old lady's plan for Qiu Tong." ”
Tan Wenshi didn't expect that he couldn't marry Ningxia Qing, but instead provoked Xue Qianqian and Du Qiutong, and the Xue family and the Ning family began to pester him because of this, he was really unlucky!
Xue Qianqian's brother came to the door several times, forcing Tan Wenshi to give an explanation as soon as possible, Mrs. Xue also condescended to the door and personally came to the door to let Tan Wenshi express her position, Mrs. Xue also counted the bride price of the first few girls of the Xue family, and made it clear that she began to talk to Tan Wenshi about the price of the bride price. This is not only forcing Tan Wenshi to marry a wife, but also forcing Tan Wenshi to pay money!
At the same time, Ning Yongda also came to say, asking Tan Wenshi to give a passable explanation, and he must be worthy of Du Qiutong. Ning Yongda is not as aggressive as the Xue family, and Ning Yongda is more gentle, but Tan Wenshi knows that Ning Yongda can't be fooled here, and if he doesn't give Du Qiutong an explanation, Ning Yongda won't give up.
Tan Wenshi has been walking on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has played a lot of yin and yang methods, why did he capsize the boat inexplicably this time? and provoked such a fishy body for himself!
Tan Wenshi has been anxious enough recently, and the large amount of woven gold brocade that was smashed in his hand before, Master Ning San ordered Tan Wenshi to make a move as soon as possible. Tan Wenshi traveled all over the relationship before he contacted a buyer through Deputy Lieutenant Xue, but now that such a thing happened, if he wronged Xue Qianqian, not only would he be regarded as an enemy by Deputy Lieutenant Xue, but the buyer who was hard to find would not be able to become a buyer.
But the Ning family is not easy to fool, in case the Ning family comes forward with someone from the Ning family, when the time comes, Deputy Lieutenant Xue, the people of the Ning clan, and the third master of Ning will force Tan Wenshi step by step, forcing Tan Wenshi to balance this impossible situation, Tan Wenshi thought of that scene, and felt that it was better to die happily.
As soon as he thought of Master Ning San, Tan Wenshi had an even more headache, Master Ning San had been thinking about Ning Yongda's mulberry garden for a long time, and he had already ordered Tan Wenshi to lay out and take down the mulberry garden.
Looking at Tan Wenshi's unlucky appearance, Grandma Qian laughed and trembled, and said with a joke: "You, now you are hugging left and right, you should be happy, look at your sorrowful ......"
Tan Wenshi pinched Grandma Qian impatiently, but Grandma Qian was still unsatisfied, and joked: "Besides, aren't you just trying to destroy the marriage of the dead girl of the Ning family, although the process has gone wrong, but the goal has also been achieved, you should really be happy......
Tan Wenshi finally reprimanded impatiently: "Are you finished? Stop talking nonsense! ”
Grandma Qian smiled charmingly: "Alas, angry? Grandma Qian sat down in Tan Wenshi's arms, and her tone was so soft that she could pinch out the water: "I should really congratulate you on your good fortune, the two girls are vying to follow you." When you all marry home, then you can enjoy the blessings of all people. ”
Tan Wenshi rubbed Grandma Qian and said with a smile: "What are you vinegar about?" Or I'll marry you back too, so that you can be companions, chat and play cards all day long, and live a good life. I'll take care of this shop for you, and I won't save you the hard work. ”
Grandma Qian immediately got up and said angrily: "Dream on you, you don't want to cheat my shop away!" ”
Tan Wenshi frowned and said, "What do you want?" Didn't I see your hard work! Look at you, I always say that I don't love you on weekdays, and when I hurt you, you are not happy, and you are on guard against me, if you are so wary of me, how can I hurt you? ”
"Less flamboyance!"
Tan Wenshi got up and left: "Okay, since you don't let me hurt you, I'll leave, I still have a bunch of things." ”
"Come back!" Grandma Qian said angrily: "Those two girls are pestering you, vying to be your wife, can you think about which one to put in the main room and which one to put in the side room?" Besides, don't you still want to marry the dead girl of the Ning family, if you marry these two girls, how can the dead girl of the Ning family still marry you? ”
Tan Wenshi smiled and whispered: "With you, which round will I get those two yellow-haired girls for the position of my wife?" After speaking, Tan Wenshi turned around and left in a dashing manner, and Grandma Qian shook her fan and cursed him with a low smile.
A few days later, Ning Yongda found out that Tan Wenshi had already made a decision with Xue Fu that he would marry Xue Qianqian next month! Du Qiutong is still waiting for Tan Wenshi's explanation, Tan Wenshi has already settled with the Xue Mansion so quickly, but he didn't give Du Qiutong any reply! Ning Yongda immediately called someone to question Tan Wenshi.
The next day, Tan Wenshi's mother came to Ning's house to visit Cao's family in person.
Mother Tan didn't even say hello, she went straight to the point, made an extremely embarrassed look, and said: "The Tan family will definitely give Miss Du an explanation, but the power of Deputy Lieutenant Xue ...... You also understand that the Tan family can't afford to offend. But don't worry, the Tan family will definitely give Miss Du an explanation, in short, Miss Du is still young, wait a few years......"
"How does this work? Qiu Tong she ......" Before Cao's words fell, Lan Ying suddenly came in and said, "My cousin heard the news that Mrs. Tan is here, so she came over." ”
"Ah...... That one...... Then I'll go first, I've said everything I should have said......" Mother Tan immediately stood up and hurriedly walked out, the Cao family didn't have time to keep Mother Tan at all, Mother Tan had already walked out.
Du Qiutong, whose eyes were red and swollen, stumbled in, but he didn't see Mother Tan at all, and asked blankly: "Auntie, I heard that Mrs. Tan is here, what about people?" ”
"This ......" Cao helped Du Qiutong sit down and said, "Qiutong, Mrs. Tan said just now that it will ...... I'll give you an explanation, you're still young, wait a few years......"
"In a few years...... Du Qiutong's lips were trembling: "So, do you want to marry that Xue Qianqian as your wife, and carry me over in a few years, right?" ”
Cao Shi hurriedly persuaded: "Qiu Tong, don't be in a hurry first......
"Auntie, even if I, Du Qiutong, die, I will never be a concubine!" Du Qiutong got up, threw out a sentence word for word, and then rushed out, slamming into Cao's wardrobe and knocking his head full of blood!
Cao was so anxious that he immediately went to ask for a doctor and carried Du Qiutong back to the room for a good placement, and Cao was so anxious that he almost fainted.
Ningxia Qing watched coldly. Du Qiutong is used to pretending, he has always been good at pretending to be weak and pitiful, if it wasn't for Ningxia Qing being killed by him in his previous life, even Ningxia Qing would not have imagined that Du Qiutong would be able to act to such an extent! He even did the thing of grabbing the pillar with his head in front of the Cao family!
Just because Du Qiutong dared to perform this kind of scene, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but want to praise Du Qiutong's face for being really thicker than the city wall!
Sure enough, as Ning Ningqing expected, Du Qiutong screamed bitterly, looking at the blood, in fact, he didn't use any strength at all, just broke the flesh and skin, and it was no big deal.
Ningxia Qing was at Du Qiutong's bedside until Du Qiutong woke up.
Seeing that Du Qiutong woke up, Ning Xia Qing handed over a cup of tea and sighed: "Silly girl, you did such a thing, broke your forehead, and added a scar to your face, what will you do in the future?" ”
Du Qiutong refused to drink the water handed by Ning Ningqing, his voice was hoarse, and he said angrily: "If you want me to be a concubine, it is better to let me die, anyway, I don't want to live, I don't care what scars he has...... I don't care anymore. ”
Ning Xia Qing said leisurely: "This matter has not been decided, and you don't have to do it." Mrs. originally planned that if Tan Ye's side was not satisfied with the results for us, she would go to the family for you to come forward to put pressure, and you just did such a stupid thing in front of your wife, Mrs. was frightened, and urged the master to go to the house immediately to find someone to help, and the master didn't even care about the business in the shop, so he went directly to the house. ”
"Thank you, cousin...... Thank you aunt and uncle......"
Ning Xia Qing said: "However, although we go to our family for help, Xue Qianqian's father is a lieutenant, and his official authority is very high, even if his family comes forward, he may not be able to compete." It's just that when will my uncle and cousin come back? Your life's events, they have to say something and do something. “
Du Qiutong didn't answer Ning Ningqing's words, but just sighed again and again: "Cousin, I'm already in this situation, I don't have any hope for my future......" Du Qiutong suddenly grabbed Ning Ningqing's hand tightly and pleaded with punishment: "Cousin, please let me meet Tan Ye, even if Tan Ye doesn't pity me, I want to hear Tan Ye understand it with my own ears." ”
Ning Xia Qing frowned slightly and closed his mouth and did not answer.
"Cousin, you must let me meet Tan Ye, otherwise...... I had to ask my aunt and uncle to arrange it for me......"
When Ning Xia Qing heard this, his eyes were cold, but he naturally didn't want Du Qiutong to disturb Ning Yongda and the Cao family again, so he smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to arrange it for you." "What if I see Tan Wenshi? What kind of flowers can Du Qiutong turn out? It's just another pretentiousness to win Tan Wenshi's love.
If Du Qiutong can really succeed, he will fulfill Ning Ningqing's wish, throw the man and woman together, and then send them to hell together!
Following.
After Ning Yongda found the Ning family, Tan Wenshi was under pressure and had to come to the door in person to discuss with Ning Yongda.
Although Ning Yongda was unhappy, he was still polite because of his honest nature, and said: "I know, Tan Ye is also embarrassed at this time, but my aunt died early, Du Yatou lost her mother at a young age, and her life was lonely, and she was raised in the Ning family since she was a child, and the Ning family regarded her as their own child, so I had to seek justice for her." ”
Tan Wenshi put on his usual smile and said, "Where is Shopkeeper Ning?" In this matter, I should have given Miss Du an explanation. ”
At this moment, Cuiyu came over and found an excuse to call Ning Yongda away, and Ning Yongda immediately said to Tan Wenshi embarrassedly: "Tan Ye, wait a while, I'll come back as soon as possible." ”
Tan Wenshi nodded, and Ning Yongda left in a hurry.
As soon as Ning Yongda left, the smile on Tan Wenshi's face disappeared, and he closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
He was already too tired.
Deputy Lieutenant Xue urged people to force him several times a day, asking him to prepare for the next job as soon as possible. In order to sell the batch of woven gold brocade, Master Ning San forced Tan Wenshi to swear again, so that he must not offend Deputy Lieutenant Xue. Tan Wenshi had no choice but to give up Ning Yongda's side and chose to keep Deputy Lieutenant Xue's connections.
Therefore, he endured the coercion given to him by Ning Yongda through the Ning clan, and endured the accusations of the Ning clan's relatives against him. But no matter how much embarrassment you have, you can only swallow it in your stomach, and when you go out to meet people during the day, don't you have to put on that smile? Sometimes, he really feels that he is no different from those sisters who sell jokes.
Tan Wenshi's heart rolled a few times, and slowly opened his eyes, but he saw that a girl with eyebrows and green feathers and muscles like snow was standing in front of him, this girl was carrying the light, and the light reflected the girl's silhouette softly and ethereally, the light was a little dazzling, Tan Wenshi couldn't help frowning, and lost his mind for a moment.
Tan Wenshi came back to his senses, nodded, and greeted softly: "Miss Ning is here?" ”
Ning Xia Qing just smiled faintly, and then said: "Qiu Tong grew up in my family, I regard her as my own sister, and now that this is happening, I only hope that Tan Ye will not let her down." ”
Tan Wenshi's eyes darkened, and he laughed, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile, and even his tone became a little stiff: "Miss Ning...... Don't worry. ”
Ning Ningqing's tone was calm and unwavering, as if she was just worrying about her sister as a matter of course as an elder sister, and said to Tan Wenshi: "Tan Ye is now the son-in-law of the Xue family, and Deputy Lieutenant Xue is in a high position, whether it is the Ning family or the Du family, it cannot be compared with the Xue Mansion, and that Xue girl's temperament is ...... Alas, when Qiu Tong passed the door, I hope that Tan Ye can think more about Qiu Tong and protect Qiu Tong more. ”
Tan Wenshi frowned and stared at Ning Xia Qing for a moment, his eyes couldn't help but move slightly, his tone was hot, and he said in a low voice: "Miss Ning, I actually want to ask you ......"
"Tan Ye." Suddenly, a delicate female voice interrupted what Tan Wenshi was about to say, and Du Qiutong, who was dressed in plain clothes, did not wear any jewelry, his eyes were red, and his cheeks were too white, walked over from the side.
Du Qiutong's appearance, no matter what kind of man he looks at, he will be heartbroken.
Ning Xia Qing didn't say a word, and was about to go outside, Tan Wenshi opened his mouth, but he was embarrassed to stop Ning Xia Qing, so he watched Ning Xia Qing leave.
"Tan Ye......" Du Qiutong called again.
Tan Wenshi's gaze was immediately pulled back to Du Qiutong's body, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's wrong with your forehead?" ”
"I ......" Du Qiutong looked at Tan Wenshi with teary eyes.
Tan Wenshi suddenly realized, frowned and sighed: "Did you do something stupid?" You...... Alas......"
