It's true that the old man has been sparing his life for too long, and he has been touted for a long time, so he thinks that he can override anyone who spares people.

Besides, the girl of the Gu family can see the old lady's contempt for her from a post, and then she does not come to the appointment, which shows that she is insightful. If you don't have some knowledge, how can you see that there is a problem with the post.

Old Mama Chen is not old and confused, and she knows who is wrong in this matter, but she is the old man Qi's spare person, and she has relied on Mrs. Qi to live a good life in this life, so she can't offend Mrs. Qi, so she didn't break it, but said: "Sister, in the opinion of the old slave, this matter will be put aside for the time being, lest the second master know about it and have a dislike with you." ”

Because the uncle of the Qi family has been a Beijing official all the way, Mrs. Qi is the eldest son who will not leave this most promising, and the second master feels uncomfortable when he hears it, and feels that Mrs. Qi loves his eldest brother too much, and she doesn't like him as a second son.

Old man Qi didn't do it: "He wants to give up his own son to be a peasant girl for a few broken silver, and the old body can't let him say a few words?" If he dares to be dissatisfied, it is a great dishonor. ”

The old women of Da Chu like to use filial piety to oppress people, this trick is unpleasant, they especially like to use it, and Mrs. Qi is no exception, she uses it the most.

Old Mama Chen listened and said, "Sister, the second master respects you the most, can you make the second master feel cold." ”

He said: "Why don't you bear with it first, and when Minggu's family comes to the banquet, you can call that girl to take a look." When the time comes, how do you want to give her a horse, but I'm afraid that I won't find a chance. ”

Mrs. Qi was so anxious to give a post to the Gu family, because she knew that Mr. Qi was going to invite the Gu family to the banquet, and she was afraid that Mr. Qi would mention the marriage, so she hurriedly posted to the Gu family, knocking on the Gu family, so that the Gu family knew that they were afraid, and knew that the Qi Mansion was not something that their peasant family could climb.

In this way, when Mr. Ming Qi invited him to a banquet, even if he hinted at the marriage of the two families at the banquet, the Gu family did not dare to come down.

But who would have thought that it would be her, the lady of the fate, who was dumped in the end!

Old Mama Chen saw that Old Master Qi's face was still not good, and hurriedly said: "No matter what, you are also the old lady of Qi Mansion, and you are the grandmother of the four young masters, if the marriage of the four young masters is not nodding from you, even the second master will not be able to agree." ”

She persuaded in a gentle voice: "My good sister, don't worry, without your nod, then the Gu family girl should not enter the Qi Mansion as a concubine, even if she is a girl in the room, she can't do it." ”

At these words, Mrs. Qi was happy, and said reluctantly: "It can only be like this now." ”

Early the next morning.

Mr. Qi called Steward Lin when he came together, and explained: "The banquet should be arranged better, double the amount of all dishes, the Gu family is a peasant family, and this peasant family loves to eat enough, but you can't let people just eat two chopsticks and the dishes will be gone." ”

"Yes, I wrote it down." Steward Lin responded and reported the progress of the banquet again: "The banquet of the male guests is arranged in the water pavilion hall in the front yard, facing the lake, and the evening lotus is not bad, and you can enjoy the scenery while eating." ”

Mr. Qi nodded when he heard this, and said to Steward Lin: "Go and tell Brother Yun and Brother He'er that today is only half of the class, and you will come back after noon to prepare, and follow me to meet the guests." ”

These are his two sons, both of them are descendants, he values them very much, I heard that the Qin family is also here, that is a bandit who has made meritorious contributions and has seen the prefect Darao, and the future will be good. Even if the future of the Qin family is not good, it is not bad to let the two sons go to meet the old man of the Gu family, and it is not bad to rely on the Gu family's brother An to catch up with the Zheng family and the Shangguan family in the future.

Mr. Qi stretched out his hand to let the maid dress him and said, "How is the Li family?" Write down the recent affairs of the Li family, I have a usefulness. ”

The Gu family girl will not let the Li family have a good time, the more miserable the Li family, the happier she is.

"Yes." Steward Lin responded, and after listening to Mr. Qi's few words of explanation, he retreated.

After Mr. Qi finished dressing up, he went to the side hall to have breakfast with his wife, and explained to Mrs. Zheng: "The Gu family girl will be entertained by Mrs. Lao." That girl was so angry that the husband told her subordinates not to let those maids who were not long-eyed rush her, otherwise she would be angry, and our family would lose silver. ”

Zheng Shi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he heard this: "Second master, although our family has made a lot of money with the Gu family's seasoning and spices, there is no need to be like this...... Discretionary, right? ”

She wanted to keep her voice down, but she was afraid of angering Mr. Qi, but she didn't dare.

Mr. Qi was drinking porridge, and when he heard this, he put down the porcelain spoon, looked at Zheng and said, "Madam, the Gu family can benefit our family more than just seasoning spices. The son of the Gu family, who is the eldest brother of the Gu family, is now in Jinling Mansion, following the two eldest grandsons of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family into and out of the Jinling Mansion, and he is a figure who has seen Ming Shaoqing. And no matter how great the future of such a young man will be, only now, if we have a good relationship with the Gu family, we can use the Gu family to catch up with the Zheng family and the official family, which can benefit our children and grandchildren, but we can't afford to neglect it. ”

The door of a true family is not so easy to knock on, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Zheng is a lady, although he doesn't like his father-in-law to value a peasant family so much, but he is a courtesy, after listening to Mr. Qi's explanation, he temporarily let go of his unhappiness and responded.

She hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Second master, do you want to call Sister Zhu to entertain the Gu family girl together?" ”

Sister Zhu is the daughter of Aunt Tang and has always been favored, and Mr. Qi often instructed the Zheng family to bring Sister Zhu with her when she went out to the banquet.

Mr. Qi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need, Sister Zhu is a concubine, even if the girl of the Gu family is born in a peasant family, she is also born to a wife, she is a concubine, and she is a temperamental, so it is not good for a concubine to accompany her." ”

Sister Zhu'er also has a big temper, in case the Gu family girl is angry, he can't do it, and he has to accompany the business.

The contract is clearly written, the Gu family can not sell the seasoning spices to the Qi family at any time. As soon as Mr. Qi thought of this, a fairly handsome old face became a bitter gourd face.

Zheng was very happy to hear this, with a smile on his face, and waited for Mr. Qi to have breakfast.

After Mr. Qi finished breakfast, he got up to go to the housework, went home at noon, and began to wait for the Gu family to come to the door.

But he waited from noon to the end of the unitary hour, it was dark, and he still didn't see the Gu family come to the door, so he became anxious: "It won't be the Jiang family's concierge who didn't give the post to the Gu family, right?" ”

Steward Lin said: "It's impossible, the servant just asked people to go to the Jiang Mansion today to ask the concierge, and the concierge has already given the post to the Gu family girl." ”

"Why didn't you come?" Mr. Qi was puzzled.

The eldest son, Qi Yun, said: "Dad, aren't you unfamiliar with the streets in the city, so you've been delayed?" It's better to send the forest steward to pick it up, and it can also show the sincerity of our house. ”
