Grandma Qian specially asked someone to call Tan Wenshi and told Tan Wenshi the news that the Ning family had withdrawn.

"So suddenly?" Tan Wenshi's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this.

Grandma Qian's tone was charming and tactful: "Is that okay?" I heard about last night's incident, so I went back to the Shen family to have a look, but as soon as I entered the door, I heard that the Ning family had come to retreat, and I was also taken aback, I didn't expect the Ning family to move so fast. ”

Tan Wenshi sighed, extremely annoyed: "I've been busy with the weaving bureau for Master Ning San recently, and I really can't get out of my way, so I haven't had time to take care of Ning Yongda's side." I didn't expect them to quit so soon, it's not easy to do now. ”

Grandma Qian raised her eyes: "Yo, what?" You didn't get involved in the divorce, and you were worried that you wouldn't be able to marry that little girl in the future? Hmph, you just fell in love with that little girl, so you tried everything you could to get her. ”

Tan Wenshi immediately said: "What nonsense? It's not like you don't know what I'm going to do. Now that the plan has been disrupted, the road ahead is not easy. ”

Grandma Qian snorted coldly, noncommittal, and shook the fan, but seeing that Tan Wenshi was always frowning, as if he was thoughtful, Grandma Qian couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it just a plan that has been disrupted, and you can find a way to remedy it? With your ability, it won't make you worry like this, right? ”

Tan Wenshi narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "I just think that this matter is a little weird. ”

"What's weird?"

Tan Wenshi's brows were deep, and his eyes were deep: "I can't say it, I always feel that there is something very important that I have overlooked, but I just can't figure it out." Tan Wenshi narrowed his eyes, didn't want to talk more, and asked instead: "Since you have already withdrawn from your family, the relationship between the Shen family and the Gu family will be fast, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." Grandma Qian shook her fan, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Last night's incident has been full of turmoil in the city, the Gu family will not give my sister-in-law any good face, my sister-in-law must know it in her heart." When I went today, my sister-in-law said that she was sick and refused to see anyone, and I estimated that she had no face to see anyone. It's a lot of fun. ”

Tan Wenshi frowned helplessly, and said with a smile: "You are also a member of the Shen family, why do you look so lively?" ”

Grandma Qian scoffed: "Hmph, although we are both surnamed Shen, I and my brother are not born to the same mother." After all these years, he hasn't helped me much. If we are good to each other, we are a harmonious family. If they lose, I don't want to be dirty. ”

Tan Wenshi smiled helplessly, pinched her waist, and said, "Okay, I already know what you want to tell me, I'll leave now, I still have to go to the weaving bureau for Master Ningsan." Tan Wenshi was about to leave after speaking.

"Come back!" Grandma Qian raised her eyebrows, and asked reluctantly: "Let me ask you, the girl of the Ning family, are you still married?" If you want to marry, how are you going to marry? ”

Tan Wenshi gently reprimanded: "Are you drinking dry vinegar again?" I'm not going to talk to you about this, I've been really busy lately. With that, he left.

Grandma Qian leaned against the door frame, her face was cold, and she said hatefully: "A man who likes the new and hates the old!" I don't know how to think about that dead girl. ”

Old Lady Gu frowned, almost unable to sit steadily: "Really? You...... Could you have heard it wrong? ”

The mother-in-law who was waiting beside Mrs. Gu replied, "Old lady, it's true. The second grandmother asked me to go over this afternoon and go to get the list of ornaments for the old lady to show to the old lady, I took the list and walked out, and happened to meet a few ladies who came to visit the second grandmother, I gave way and let the ladies go first, and I happened to hear them talking about last night. ”

The old lady Gu was so disgusted that her forehead burst into blue tendons, the mother-in-law had never seen the old lady angry like this, so she hurriedly went up to help.

Old Lady Gu asked hatefully, "What about the second grandmother?" Call her to me. ”

"When I went over, those wives just came, and I guess the second grandmother was beckoning them to drink tea and chat."

"It's all this time, but she still has the heart to drink tea and chat? What's the gossip? Talking about the scandal that happened to the Shen family last night? Old Lady Gu was so angry that she spoke angrily.

The mother-in-law hurriedly explained for the second grandmother and the mud, and said: "Those wives just mentioned it casually at the time, and when it was a joke, it was estimated that it would be over in one or two sentences." What's more, they don't know the relationship between the Gu Mansion and the Shen family, if they knew, they wouldn't say it to their faces......"

Old Lady Gu closed her eyes, her tone was a little bleak and a little desperate: "Wait a few people and call the second grandmother over immediately!" ”

Half an hour later, Second Grandma Gu hung her head and walked into Old Lady Gu's house.

As soon as Gu Er's grandmother came in, the maids and women in the room all withdrew as if they had been instructed in advance.

And Mrs. Gu squinted, looking at her expression as if she was asleep, but she kept holding the Buddha beads in her hand, and the sound of the collision of the Buddha beads on the hand was "click", which made Gu Er's grandmother tremble. Old Lady Gu said quietly: "What should I do now?" ”

Second Grandma Gu was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, hung her head and said, "It's all up to the old lady to decide, and the daughter-in-law will never dare to make claims anymore!" "This time, it was all because Gu Er's grandmother wanted to seize power, so she wanted to use Gu Yimeng to bring the Shen family under her command, but she didn't expect it to evolve into this situation in the end! Grandma Gu Er didn't even dare to raise her head in front of the old lady now.

Mrs. Gu paused for a while, and said leisurely: "The fourth girl is still young, and the marriage is not in a hurry, let's talk about it." Unless the Shen family is lucky and can turn over, otherwise, let's find another kid for the four girls, and it doesn't matter if you are born in a family or anything. ”

Rao is Gu Er's grandmother was unwilling in her heart, but she didn't even dare to say half a "no".

The old lady put aside the Buddha bead handpiece, as if she had put the matter aside forever, and asked instead, "Have you prepared the materials that the Ning family wanted?" ”

"It's ready, everything that should be explained has been explained, and they have already met and talked."

"Hmm. Are you ready to go to Ning's house to propose marriage? ”

"It's ready, it's all ready."

"Then you can go."

"This ......" Second Grandma Gu was stunned when she heard this, but she still didn't dare to raise her head, but said cautiously: "The Shen family and the Ning family quit this morning, let's go to propose marriage in the afternoon, if it spreads, others will definitely criticize us for reacting too quickly, and will speculate whether we have expected this day a long time ago, and whether we have made preparations early, which is harmful to the reputation of the Gu Mansion." ”

Old Lady Gu's eyes opened, and she walked over unhurriedly: "It's not for you to make a decision today, it's just for you to visit, and by the way, to show your attitude." That girl was born like that, I don't know how many people are worried about it, there are no brothers in the family, the dowry must not be thin, and the Ning family is also very powerful in the local area. If you don't express your attitude as soon as possible, I'm afraid that you will have a long night and many dreams. ”

Gu Er's grandmother said cautiously: "Actually...... After this incident, the Ning family must be tired, so it is better to wait and let the Ning family slow down for a few days. ”

Old Lady Gu sneered and said, "Slow down for a few days? Although he has just withdrawn from his family, he has been making a fuss about his relatives for a month, and the Ning family must have been anxious for a long time, what else do they need to slow down? Don't think I can't read your mind! You don't look down on that girl, there are people outside who are worried about it, I decided this matter, do you dare to deliberately delay? When I'm old and confused, I think I'm so foolish, don't I? ”

Gu Er's grandmother was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare!" Daughter-in-law will go to Ning's house! ”

"One more thing." Old Mrs. Gu picked up the handpiece on the side again, coiled it again, and said, "I'm also old, I just want to eat for a few days and recite the Buddha for a few days, and when Mrs. Shen comes, don't avoid it, lest she come to bother me if she can't see you." You should deal with her first, as for the marriage, you can delay it as long as you can, you should understand, right? ”

"My daughter-in-law understands."

After Ning Yongda came back, he told the Cao family about the matter as it was, and when the Cao family heard that Shen Zhiyuan had made such a fuss last night, he was stunned for a long time.

Ning Yongda comforted: "I was also shocked when I heard about this from my family today. It's okay if this family business is retired, just in terms of the heart of the Shen family kid, even if Qing'er marries, she will definitely be wronged, and it will be a big deal to stay at home for the rest of her life, and it doesn't hurt for us to keep it. Besides, the Shen family kid has made such a fuss now, our family is reasonable, and we are not afraid of others talking about Qing'er. ”

Cao Shi stroked his chest, and the big stone in his heart fell.

Ning Yongda finished talking to Cao about this matter, and then went back to the shop. Before the Cao family could recover from the shock of last night's incident, Lan Ying came in to report: "Madam, the second grandmother of the Gu family is here, and she has brought a lot of generous gifts." ”

As soon as he heard that someone from the Gu family was coming, Cao asked, "Are you here to see the old lady?" ”

"No, Second Grandma Gu wants to see Mrs., and she is already in the yard."

"See me?" Cao Shi was stunned, but he didn't have time to think so much, so he hurriedly got up and dressed up, and when he went out to see Gu Er's grandmother, he was just a light silk shirt, and his hair was only loosely pulled up, and he was holding it with a simple jade hairpin.

As soon as Cao Shi came out of the house, he saw a noble lady of his own age sitting there. I saw that the noble lady was wearing a double butterfly playing with flowers and a beaded hairpin, combing a meticulous double snail flying bun, wearing a sheep fat jade collar carved with a double swallow pattern around her neck, and a royal blue dark pattern cloud brocade robe.

When the two of them saw each other, Cao Shi said abruptly: "I have been in poor spirits recently, so my appearance is not tidy, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Gu Er's grandmother smiled: "Sister-in-law of the Ning family, where is this?" Obviously, I came abruptly. Although my sister-in-law is a little sick, she is still beautiful, which makes me really want to sigh at my sister-in-law's beauty, no wonder she can give birth to a girl as standard as a young girl. ”

Cao's face drooped, as if he was a little restrained and timid, and said, "You're polite, I don't know why you're coming to the Humble House today?" ”
