Lan Ying opened the bamboo curtain and lured Grandma Qian in. Ningxia Qing saw Grandma Qian walk in, wearing an emerald green embroidered phoenix flower gown, a silk silk with golden chrysanthemums to welcome autumn tied around her waist, a red and gold thread horse-faced skirt underneath, and a mandarin duck red gold fan.

"Yo, it turns out that the green girl is also there." Qian walked in with a spring color, and when he saw that Ningxia Qing was also there, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dry smile: "It's hot today, young girl, go and take a nap, so as not to lose energy in the afternoon." ”

"It's so hot today, but you're running this trip at noon, and it's hard for you." Ningxia Qing got up, blessed a blessing, said with a smile, and then ordered Lan Ying to serve tea.

As soon as Ningxia Qing's voice fell, Grandma Qian's face was a little stiff, and she couldn't help coughing dryly, and then walked to Cao's side with a fan, regardless of whether anyone asked her, she sat down by herself, and said in a weird way: "The young girl is becoming more and more able to talk now." ”

Cao smiled politely and asked, "Grandma Qian is running this trip on a hot day, but what's the matter?" ”

"Look at what you said, it's okay I can't come and see you?" Grandma Qian smiled, her voice was so tired, she took the tea handed over by Lan Ying, glanced at Ning Xia Qing, and opened her mouth to catch up with Ning Xia Qing: "Qing girl, go and rest first, let me talk to your mother about yourself." ”

Considerate words? This grandmother Qian is really able to speak, and Ning Xia Qing endured a sarcastic smile. Cao Shi also guessed Grandma Qian's intention, and couldn't help but feel nervous, so he ordered: "Qing'er, you go back and rest, my mother will talk to Grandma Qian for a while." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and then walked out, but she just pretended to leave, she motioned to Lan Ying to be silent, and then sat down in the outhouse, listening to the movement inside.

When Grandma Qian saw that Ning Ningqing had gone out, she pretended to greet her affectionately: "It's hot and stuffy today, but the Ning family's sister-in-law looks good." ”

Cao pursed his lips and didn't answer, thought for a while, and asked, "You still came here for the Shen family's retreat?" ”

Grandma Qian put down the teacup and sighed regretfully: "Actually, I've heard that the business of the shopkeeper Ning is not good, and my sister-in-law and I are very worried about you." My sister-in-law recognized a wealthy businessman in Yueling County, who happened to be collecting materials in Meigong County during this time. As long as my sister-in-law helps pull a line, the goods in Ning's shopkeeper that can't be sold may have a way out. Shopkeeper Ning's business is not good, this is a good opportunity, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”

Cao lowered his head and did not speak.

Grandma Qian took another sip of tea, looked at Cao's family, and saw that Cao's expression was not loose, Grandma Qian's eyes instantly showed impatience, and she took out a small brocade bag from her sleeve and threw it in front of Cao's with a loud bang.

Cao Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at Grandma Qian in puzzlement, and saw that Grandma Qian motioned to open it to take a look, Cao Shi untied the brocade bag, and there were actually two golden ingots inside, each of which was at least ten taels!

"What does that mean?" Cao asked, his face as pale as paper.

"My sister-in-law said that it was indeed the kindness of the old man of the Ning family back then, and the Shen family is not a family that does not know how to repay the kindness, so won't this be doubled back to you. Take it quickly, this is a full amount of gold, each of which is more than ten taels. ”

Cao Shi was so angry that she trembled all over, and after a long time, she stretched out her hand, tied the brocade bag, pushed it to Grandma Qian, and said in a trembling voice: "Take it back quickly." Back then, the old lady of my family helped out, not the gold of the Shen family, if I accepted it, it would be a loss of the old lady's face. As for business, I am a woman, and I don't understand it. ”

Seeing that Cao's reaction was this, Grandma Qian's eyes became even more disdainful, and she said in a weird manner: "Also, when Old Lady Ning spent that little bit of silver, naturally she didn't just want this mere twenty taels of gold. ”

Cao Shi stared at her, Grandma Qian shook her fan, and said arrogantly: "Sister-in-law of the Ning family, I advise you, you can't be too greedy." At the beginning, Mrs. Ning spent some silver, and we have returned these gold today, which is already a spring of reciprocation. The Ning family should know how to be sufficient, why did they still coerce Entu to report it? ”

Seeing that Cao's lips were trembling violently, Grandma Qian had to inch in, and she was unforgiving: "Don't worry." I know that my nephew is so outstanding, every time I go out with my sister-in-law, how many girls are worried about it, and it is normal for the young girl to think about my nephew. Can't the Ning family just rely on the little money back then, and just want the Shen family to pay it back with a son, right? I understand that people have selfish intentions. But no matter how selfish your Ning family is, you can't just lose your conscience! Even if you have no conscience, you have to be a little ashamed! ”

"You, don't say it anymore......" Cao Shi scolded while trembling, and then he was almost out of breath, and even his voice was weak.

"Alas, why is the sister-in-law of the Ning family so angry, you can't be so angry because I told a few words of truth." Grandma Qian's eyes were even more smiling, and she said loudly: "Loyal to the ear, sister-in-law of the Ning family, I am telling the truth." Marriage pays attention to the right family, you love me, if you blindly force it, you will be punished by God, sister-in-law of the Ning family, if you insist on refusing to withdraw from the marriage, when the young girl gets married, it will be too late to regret it. Although your business is not good and you want to climb the high branches of the Shen family, it will not reach the point of selling women for glory, right? ”

"You ......" Cao's face was no longer bloodless, and even his lips were pale and pale, as if he was about to faint in the next second.

Grandma Qian was still laughing, and pushed the brocade bag on the kang table over: "It's just a marriage letter, if you return it, not only can you get gold, but you can also help the business in the shop." But if you insist on refusing to pay it back, the Ning family will not end well! Not only is the business not good, but the young girl will never have a good life if she marries! Such an obvious deal, sister-in-law of the Ning family, you don't have to be stupid, right? ”

Cao pointed to Grandma Qian's nose, trembling with anger, but he was speechless, and at this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded from the outhouse.

"It turns out that Grandma Qian came here today to teach the Ning family to do business, but unfortunately, we can only appreciate Grandma Qian's kindness. For so many years, the Ning family has opened a shop to do business, and it has always been honest business, and it has never been like Grandma Qian. Grandma Qian's skills, the Ning family doesn't want to learn, and they can't learn it. ”

Before the words fell, Ning Xia Qing had already walked in with a smile. It's just that although she is smiling, it inexplicably makes people feel chills in their hearts.

Grandma Qian knew that the Cao family was a good bully, but she didn't expect that Ningxia Qing didn't leave, she was stunned for a while, and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Ningxia Qing had already reached out and checked the gold ingots on the kang, laughed disdainfully, and said: "Two gold ingots, adding up to almost two hundred taels of silver." It turned out that the words that came out of the mouth of Shen Da, who had been an official all his life, could be clearly marked as two hundred taels of silver. It turned out that in the eyes of the Shen family, marriage was the sale of children and daughters, and the words of matchmakers were money and goods. Thanks to my Ning family, I have opened a shop for a lifetime, but it is far less than the Shen family's willingness to do business. It's just that I don't know, if others hear about it, it turns out that in the mouth of Grandma Qian, marriage can also be called in two terms, I don't know how others will agree with Grandma Qian's business experience. ”

"You, what are you talking about...... Grandma Qian was speechless, her face was very embarrassed, and it took a long time to refute a few words: "The words of the young girl are also very ugly, what kind of argument is ......?"

"I'm just not kind to talk, but the Shen family is not kind." Ning Ningqing disdainfully threw the gold ingots in his hand into Grandma Qian's hand, smiled faintly, and said: "It's not early, my mother is going to take a nap, Grandma Qian, please take care of yourself, if you don't go back to rest, be careful that the heat is outside and burns your brain." ”
