Chapter 151: Mother's Family
Ning Ningqing put a thick pile of silver tickets in an envelope, sealed the envelope and put it in his arms, and walked to his own small broken carriage, every step to confirm that the envelope was still in his arms, to confirm that such a huge silver ticket comparable to his life was not lost.
She carefully boarded the carriage, and when the curtain was lowered, she took out the envelope and looked at it intently in her hand.
Tan Wenshi had just come out of one of the third master's shops, and happened to see Ning Xia Qing boarding the Ning family's carriage, and the Ning family's carriage happened to stop at the gate of Wansheng.
Tan Wenshi frowned slightly, what did Ningxia Qing do when he went to Wansheng at this time? Hasn't Ningxia Qing already drawn a line with the second master? Now you should be in peace of mind to operate Huacaiyuan, why does it appear in Wansheng?
Tan Wenshi didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately boarded his carriage and instructed the coachman to follow Ning Ningqing's carriage.
The two carriages stopped on the side of the road at the entrance of Sihui Qianzhuang, Tan Wenshi's carriage stopped in the hidden place at the turn, he lifted the curtain, and saw Ningxia Qing get off the carriage and go straight into Qianzhuang.
After a while, Ningxia Qing came out of Sihui Qianzhuang with a burden in his hand, and then got in the car and left.
Tan Wenshi immediately got out of the car and walked into Sihui Qianzhuang.
Sihui Money Village is the number one chain money village in the world, generally speaking, the silver stored here are all the big businessmen who have footprints all over the world, and small merchants like Hua Cai Yuan have nothing to do with Sihui Money Village.
Tan Wenshi only needs to think that Ningxia Qing came out of Wansheng, and he can guess why Ningxia Qing entered Sihui Qianzhuang.
Although Tan Wenshi doesn't deposit much money in the bank, he often comes to Sihui Money Village for the third master to run errands, so he can be regarded as acquainted with the shopkeeper of Sihui Money Village. Tan Wenshi inquired vaguely, and found out that Ning Xia Qing had just withdrawn nearly 100,000 taels of silver!
Huacaiyuan is just a small shop, what will Ningxia Qing do if he wants nearly 100,000 taels of silver? Especially at this juncture, Tan Wenshi couldn't help but think a little more.
Tan Wenshi walked out of Sihui Qianzhuang, got into the car and went to the third master.
Tan Wenshi didn't notice that when Ningxia Qing's carriage turned around at the entrance of the alley, Ah Zheng, who was driving the carriage, seemed to look over here very accidentally, and there was no surprise when he saw Tan Wenshi's carriage.
Tan Wenshi's carriage went to the third master's place, but was stopped halfway, Tan Wenshi thought about it, and suddenly decided to go home first.
After entering Tan's house, Tan Wenshi went directly to Du Qiutong's house.
When Tan Wenshi entered the house, Du Qiutong was sitting by the window and being a female celebrity.
Seeing Tan Wenshi coming in, Du Qiutong immediately got up to greet him, Tan Wenshi didn't have time to say so much, so he said, "You can go to Ning's house to see your aunt now." ”
"What are you going to do at Ning's house?" Du Qiutong was stunned: "Could it be that something happened to my cousin again?" Didn't the master say that the cousin had already drawn a line with the second master Ning, what could she do? ”
Tan Wenshi shook his head and said worriedly: "I thought the same before, but I saw your cousin on the street just now, and I thought she was a little strange." ”
Tan Wenshi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I guess that it is just an illusion that she has drawn a line with Second Master Ning, in fact, she still has contact with Second Master Ning." Tan Wenshi stroked Du Qiutong's shoulder and said, "I need you to go to Ning's house now and see if you can find out any news." ”
Tan Wenshi thought for a while, and then said: "You'd better find another opportunity to persuade her, so that she must not be stupid, this is the moment, Mingzhe protects herself is the most important thing." ”
Du Qiutong was stunned for a moment, her eyes showed a little jealousy, she quickly turned her face away, and did not let Tan Wenshi notice it. Du Qiutong said leisurely: "But ......"
Du Qiutong almost never refused Tan Wenshi, and Tan Wenshi couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you want to say?" ”
Du Qiutong picked up the female red at hand, and said bitterly: "But Mrs. asked me to embroider this handkerchief, Mrs. is in a hurry, I have been rushing for a night, but I haven't finished yet, I have to finish this first, otherwise I can't deal with my wife......"
At the mention of Xue Qianqian, Tan Wenshi suddenly looked displeased, looked at Du Qiutong's slightly red eyes, and said impatiently: "It's just a handkerchief, and she doesn't lack a handkerchief, what if you can't catch up?" If she asks about you, you will say that I said it. ”
Du Qiutong immediately said understandingly: "No, if you say so, my wife will lose her temper with my grandfather again." If my wife asks me why I didn't finish the embroidery work, I will say that I am clumsy and delayed. ”
Du Qiutong came to Tan Wenshi, his eyes were pitiful, Du Qiutong said softly: "I don't want my lord and wife to be unhappy because of me, I don't want my lord to be troubled." ”
Tan Wenshi couldn't help but sigh: "You don't want to block me, but she is rushing to annoy me." ”
Du Qiutong lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and comforted: "Mrs. is of noble birth, and it is inevitable that some eldest ladies will have a temper. ”
Tan Wenshi suddenly sneered fiercely, and said disdainfully: "What kind of eldest lady is she?" Her father's status is now unstable, and when her father comes off the stage, I see what confidence she still has to show off her power in front of me! ”
Du Qiutong buried his head in Tan Wenshi's arms, hid the smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "As long as the future days of the master can be smooth, I have nothing else to ask for." ”
"You're still sensible." Tan Wenshi said, looked at the unfinished handkerchief, and said: "Okay, you are also busy, I will ask your brother to buy a finished product and come back to her, no matter if she is not satisfied, in short, she loves it or not!" Anyway, I can't bear to let you lose these beautiful eyes because of her. ”
Du Qiutong leaned on Tan Wenshi's arms, said a few words that Tan Wenshi liked to hear, and hugged Tan Wenshi tighter.
Before noon, when the old lady and Cao were about to have lunch, they suddenly heard that Du Qiutong was coming.
Both the old lady and the Cao family were a little surprised. Du Qiutong hasn't been back a few times since he left the Ning family, and now that he is married again, why didn't he tell him in advance, and suddenly came over? It's a bit confusing.
Cao Shi pulled Du Qiutong to sit down, and the old lady smiled and asked Chen Po to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and then asked the cook to cook a few dishes that Du Qiutong liked.
Du Qiutong said affectionately: "I should have informed you in advance, but I suddenly missed you very much, so I took the liberty to come." The old lady and aunt won't blame me, will they? ”
Cao Shi hurriedly smiled and said, "How can it? If you have the heart to come, it's too late for me and the old lady to be happy. You grew up in my house, and since you moved out, the old lady and I have missed you a lot. ”
Mrs. Ning asked seriously: "Qiu Tong, tell us, how are you doing after you get married?" How is your husband's family treating you? If you are wronged, you must tell your aunt. Your father is away all the year round and may not be able to take care of you, so if you have any problems, your aunt will help you find a way. ”
Looking at the sincere faces of Mrs. Ning and Cao's family, Du Qiutong's smile did not have a trace of flaw, and he said without blinking: "Master Tan is very good to me, the old lady and aunt don't worry about me." ”
Cao touched Du Qiutong's face and said distressedly: "But why does aunt think you have lost weight?" Auntie naturally hopes that everything is fine in your husband's house, but if you are really unhappy, don't report good news or bad news, and aunt is not an outsider. ”
Du Qiutong only said: "I'm really fine, aunt don't worry." ”
Du Qiutong turned around, took a pot of tea from the maid Shi Yan arranged by Mrs. Tan, handed it to Mrs. Ning and Cao, and said, "This is the tea that Tan Ye gave to my brother, it is the Biluochun that has just come down, it is the most fresh, much better than those old teas." My brother was reluctant to drink it, so he insisted that I bring it to the old lady and aunt. ”
Old Mrs. Ning and Cao couldn't help but glance at each other, both remembering the incident that Aunt Du had mentioned about making Du Zhengshuo rich, Cao lowered his eyes and said, "Your brother also has a heart." Speaking of which, he's been here several times since the end of the year, and his mind ...... The old lady and I both understood......"
Du Qiutong said: "My brother is just to honor the old lady and aunt." In fact, my brother has always been the most filial, but because he has been running outside the boat, he has not had much time to see his aunt, but now it is different, my brother has settled down now, and naturally he will run more here. ”
Du Qiutong said, took out a wooden box again, and said: "This is a mountain ginseng from the north, not to mention a hundred years, the most nourishing and nourishing body, my mother-in-law often uses this soup on weekdays." So I asked Tan Ye for a plant, and used it to honor the old lady and aunt, if the old lady and aunt think it is useful, I will bring some next time. ”
Old Lady Ning and Cao were both stunned. Cao took the wooden box, opened it and took a look, it was really an excellent Beidi mountain ginseng, Cao didn't think about it, he buckled the wooden box and returned it to Du Qiutong, and said seriously: "We accepted the tea, but this mountain ginseng is too valuable, we can't accept anything." ”
The old lady also said seriously: "Yes, we can't accept this thing." Qiu Tong, although you said that your husband's family treats you very well, but your husband's family is not as good as your mother's family, you still have to be careful everywhere, so as not to let your husband's family pick your fault and give you grievances. ”
Cao Shi also said: "Yes, especially the lady of the main house...... I had some holidays with you when I was a girl, and I am not your maiden family here. If the wife of the main house knows that you will criticize you just because your aunt has brought such a big gift, then what can you do? You might as well take this ginseng back. ”
Du Qiutong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said aggrievedly: "I know, I am small for others, and I am a head lower than the wife of the main house everywhere, but I have always been filial to the old lady and aunt, is it because I am small, the old lady and aunt are not even willing to accept my things?" ”
Cao Shi hurriedly said, "What are these words?" We're just afraid you'll be wronged......"
Du Qiutong cried and said, "My aunt said that this is not my maiden home. But my mother went early, my father and brother were always not by my side in the early years, I grew up in the Ning family since I was a child, in my heart, the Ning family is my home, and when I go back to the Ning family, it is the same as going back to my mother's house. ”
"Okay, okay, stop crying." Mrs. Ning persuaded: "Your aunt didn't mean that, we are just afraid that you will be picked on by your husband." As long as you are willing, you can always treat the Ning family as your maiden home, and we will accept your wishes. But when you leave for a while, take some bird's nest from the kitchen and go, which can be regarded as a coming-and-going, so as not to let your mother-in-law pick on you. ”
"Thank you, old lady." Du Qiutong whimpered while being helped by the Cao family to wipe his tears.
At this moment, Tian's dishes were also served, and the three of them sat at the table, Du Qiutong couldn't help asking, "What about my cousin and Zi'er?" Don't you call them over for dinner? I haven't seen them in a few days, and I miss them. ”
Cao replied: "Zi'er was arranged by your cousin to go to the academy to study, and she didn't use lunch at home. ”
Du Qiutong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Zi'er...... Went to college? Cao nodded, and Du Qiutong couldn't help but sigh: "Zi'er really has a good sister......
Cao Shi said: "It's okay if Zi'er is not at home, you don't know how naughty Zi'er is now, when she is at home, she often makes me and the old lady feel a headache." Cao Shi showed a doting smile while sneering, the old lady also smiled, and Du Qiutong laughed with him.
However, Cao suddenly sighed again and said, "Speaking of your cousin...... Alas, she's what worries me the most...... She's been so busy lately that I can't see her, and she hasn't come to dinner with me and the old lady for several days. She went out again this morning, and she didn't know when she would be back. ”
Du Qiutong paused slightly, and pretended to say casually: "Actually, I also heard from Tan Ye, my cousin is having a hard time these days. ”
Du Qiutong said in a low voice: "I heard that there is an accident with the materials in Ning Er's workshop, Ning Erye has been called by the government to ask several times, this time the incident has alarmed the capital, once it is not handled well, Ning Er Ye may be killed." And my cousin has always been close to Ning Er, and the name of Hua Caiyuan is also printed on the material of the accident, I don't know if my cousin will be implicated......"
With a "clang", the chopsticks in Cao's hand fell to the ground, Cao's voice changed instantly, and he asked with a crying voice: "Is there such a thing?" ”
Du Qiutong raised his head and asked, "Didn't my cousin tell you?" ”
Cao Shi shook his head, about to cry: "She has always reported good news and not bad news, and we have heard some rumors outside, but your cousin has kept telling us that it is okay, and we didn't take it seriously." ”
Old Mrs. Ning couldn't eat a bite, and almost vomited the bit she had just eaten, and said worriedly: "Unexpectedly...... It's so serious, it's ...... to kill your head."
Du Qiutong sighed: "It seems that my cousin really didn't tell you...... Alas...... I heard Tan Ye say, this matter is not good, I am afraid that even my cousin will be implicated, and I have been so worried that I can't even sleep these days. I was worried that the old lady and aunt would not be able to stand the news, so I hurried to see you today. ”
"Cousin Qiu Tong really has a heart." Suddenly, a clear girl sounded from outside, and then, the curtain was lifted with a "bang", and Ningxia Qing walked in from outside.
I saw that Ning Ningqing's face was still slightly red, obviously he had just come back from outside. The cloak on his body seemed to be bubbling out with cold air, turning into wisps of white smoke and scattering in all directions.
"Qing'er is back?" Cao, who was about to cry, asked in surprise, and then quickly got up and walked to Ningxia Qing, holding Ningxia Qing's hand, as if he was afraid that he would never see Ningxia Qing again, and cried and said: "Qing'er, you tell your mother the truth, what is going on in business?" ”
Ning Xia Qing glanced at Du Qiutong, and said with a smile to the old lady and Cao: "Don't worry, it is indeed possible to cut off the head of the second master, but that is only the worst possibility from a procedural point of view, and basically it will not happen." And I've taken care of everything, no matter what happens, I promise I'll be fine. ”
Although Ning Ningqing's words were ambiguous, her tone was extremely calm and confident, and she definitely didn't look like she could pretend to be.
The old lady and the Cao family both knew Ningxia Qing, and when they heard Ningxia Qing's tone and saw Ningxia Qing's expression, they immediately believed Ningxia Qing's words, and their faces were suddenly relieved.
Ning Xia Qing took off her cloak from Cuizhi and Cuiluo, walked behind Du Qiutong, patted Du Qiutong's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Sister Qiutong, don't be afraid, Tan Ye must be scaring you and teasing you, why are you still serious?" ”
Since Ningxia Qing appeared, Du Qiutong's face has been a little embarrassed, and he whispered: "I...... I'm just too worried about my cousin, and I'm worried about it......"
"Yes......" Ning Xia Qing still patted Du Qiutong's shoulder affectionately, but said meaningfully: "Our cousins grew up together, and we have the most deep feelings, I understand that you care about my feelings." ”
Du Qiutong's shoulders were pressed by Ning Xia Qing, unable to move, and a little restless, as if Ning Xia Qing had pressed her on a nail.
Fortunately, Ningxia Qing let her go, and Chen Po had already added a pair of chopsticks for Ningxia Qing and replaced Cao's with new chopsticks.
Ning Ningqing sat down and said with a smile: "After running all morning, I was really hungry." Then they began to eat, and when Mrs. Ning and Cao saw that Ningxia Qing was eating well, they couldn't help but be aroused by their appetites, and they immediately forgot what Du Qiutong had just said, and looked at Ningxia Qing lovingly.
Ning Ningqing ate a few bites to cushion her stomach, suddenly smiled, and said to Du Qiutong: "It's really a coincidence, I just saw Mrs. Tan outside, but I didn't expect to see you again when I got home." ”
Du Qiutong was stunned, frowned and asked, "Cousin saw my wife?" ”
"yes." Ningxia Qing replied: "I want to buy some dates and mix them in milk to make jujube cheese cake, I think Zi'er will definitely like it." As a result, as soon as I walked into the melon and fruit shop, I actually met Mrs. Tan, and I also greeted her. But I didn't seem to have much energy when I saw her, so I didn't have the embarrassment to talk to her much. ”
Cao couldn't help but be curious and concerned: "Mrs. Tan doesn't have any spirit? ”
"yes." Ning Xia Qingdao: "I saw that she was not energetic, and I was very worried, so I deliberately looked at her a few more times." I saw that she was going to buy yacon, but after just tasting it, she turned her head and vomited. ”
Ning Xia Qing suddenly asked Du Qiutong: "Does your wife like to eat sour?" ”
Du Qiutong subconsciously shook his head. Ning Xia Qing said: "That's really weird. I saw that she bought several pounds of oranges, and the oranges were not good at all, they were small and dry, and I tasted them, but they soured me. Ning Xia Qing smiled bitterly: "I don't know why your wife bought those sour oranges to eat." ”
Du Qiutong was stunned when he boarded, and Mrs. Ning suddenly sighed: "Could it be that Mrs. Tan is happy?" As the saying goes, sour children are hot and spicy, is this first child a son? What a blessing. ”
Du Qiutong's face turned black immediately.
