Chapter 349: Dowry
Qu Xiaobai impatiently threw the codex in his hand aside, and said, "No, I can wait, time can't wait." I'd better let Chen Xiang and Chen Zui brothers come. He took out the letterhead, picked up the pen and wrote the letter, and while writing, he suddenly remembered something in his mind, and turned back to Luo Luo and smiled mysteriously: "This time you are happy, your old master is coming." β
Luoluo knew that she was deliberately making fun of her, pursed her lips, and said, "So what? Could it be that Madame can still send me back to my old master? β
"You can't do that, so don't think about it. However, there are always more opportunities to meet. She laughed awkwardly, "I'm not here in the flowery world outside, there are no beauties in the world, Chen Zui came to me, I'm afraid I have to be suffocated." β
"The little young master is not as dirty as Madame thinks."
"Yo, this is maintained?"
Luoluo blushed anxiously: "What am I maintaining?" It's a fact! The little young master looks uninhibited on the outside, but in his bones he is the most ruthless person, and he can't look down on those vulgar and glamorous fans. β
"And what does he like?" Qu Xiaobai routines her.
Luoluo wrinkled her nose, "How do I know? Anyway, the little master didn't have anyone in his heart. β
"Oh, really?" Qu Xiaobai smiled nervously, finished writing the letter, put down the pen and picked up the letter paper, blew dry the ink on it, folded it, and handed it to Luoluo: "Let Qingjun take the internal transportation line, send a letter to Chen Xiang, and let him try not to make a noise." β
"Okay." Luoluo took the letter and immediately went to the front to find Xin Qingjun. Xin Qingjun happened to come back at noon and never went out again.
Qu Xiaobai sorted out the codex and took it to the pharmacy, Yang Ling followed her side, not leaving an inch.
After sending the codex, when I came out, I ran into Qu Xiaohei who came back from the workshop. Qu Xiaohei's face was full of joy, and his naΓ―ve appearance was even more silly than the current Yang Ling, and he shouted Qu Xiaobai from afar: "Sister." β
Qu Xiaobai saw that he was carrying a package in his hand, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother, did you get something good from your sister-in-law?" Laugh like this. He made fun of him: "Alas, my sister-in-law will coax people and make my brother laugh." β
Qu Xiaohei said in a humble voice: "Sister, you are making fun of me again!" β
At the door of the pharmacy behind, Dong Lang leaned against the door frame, and said to Yun Buxian while reading the codex: "You said that the lord is such a cold and arrogant person, why did he fall in love with such a woman like a bird?" β
Yun Buxian had an expression that he had long been accustomed to, and said lightly: "Complementary." Seeing Qu Xiaobai turn his head to this side, he was busy and had a strong desire to survive: "Where is the little housewife like a house sparrow?" You have a problem with your eyes. β
Qu Xiaobai was far away, and Dong Lang and Yun Buxian's voices were not high, she couldn't hear what was said here, but when she looked back and saw the expressions of the two people, she felt that they didn't say anything good, so she glared at them fiercely.
The two thought she heard and hurriedly retreated into the house.
Confirm that they didn't say anything good.
Qu Xiaobai rolled his eyes speechlessly, turned around, and continued to joke with Qu Xiaohei: "Let me see what good things my sister-in-law has sent you." β
Qu Xiaobai snatched the package, and opened the package quickly, in addition to the moisturizing cream she sent, there were two pieces of clothing. One is a navy blue single robe, and the other is padded with cotton, the style is good, mainly because of exquisite workmanship.
"Oh, it's a cheongsam! Brother, do you have to dress this when you are making furniture at home all the time? β
Qu Xiaohei's black face turned white after being teased by her, and he said, "Cheng...... Wear it as a parent. β
Qu Xiaobai smiled heartlessly, "Brother, sister-in-law is so good to you!" β
She ...... She is also kind to you, oh, she embroidered the veil for you. β
Qu Xiaohei took out a small package from his arms again, and opened it layer by layer, it was a few silk juanpa, embroidered with several different patterns, nothing more than various flowers and trees of Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum, etc. But the embroidery is really exquisite.
The more Qu Xiaobai looked at it, the more he liked it, and exclaimed: "My sister-in-law's hands are treasures, brother, you must protect my sister-in-law's hands for me." Well, and your own hands, too, are treasures. I envy people with craftsmanship the most, my hands are stupid. β
Qu Xiaobai muttered for a while, and then got down to business, "Brother, have you asked my sister-in-law where you plan to live in the future?" β
Hongxia said, everything is up to you, she can do anything. It's okay to go home and serve our parents, and it's okay to live closer to the workshop. β
Qu Xiaobai understands that Hongxia is more inclined to live outside, think about it, her father is a tricky Laipihu, who wants to live with him?
If Hongxia is unfilial in the future, she naturally has a way to rectify her, but now she just doesn't want to live together, and she doesn't want to embarrass her.
After thinking about it, he said: "There are many people in the workshop, and there are so many rough men, and it is not convenient for you to come and go every day, so let's do it, I plan to build another embroidery workshop at the west end of those handymen's houses, and let my sister-in-law teach some little apprentices, and by the way, I will also build a few large tiled houses for you next to the embroidery workshop as a new house." What do you think? β
"This ...... That's good, but I'm afraid I'll trouble you again......"
"What's the trouble, in the future, let my sister-in-law make me a few more clothes, and you can give me a few more pieces of furniture to pay off the debt."
Where does Qu Xiaohei know what to pay off debts, anyway, whatever she says is what, and she can't refuse, "Then trouble my sister to arrange it." I'll tell my dad and mom when I get back. β
"Well, then without further ado, I'll find someone to hire tomorrow." Thinking about Xin Qingjun at home, she took Qu Xiaohei directly to Xin Qingjun.
Xin Qingjun had to make accounts today, and after he came back from the county in the morning, he didn't go out again.
Since learning some simple accounting methods from Qu Xiaobai, the steady Xin Qingjun is now in love with making accounts, and as long as he has time, he likes to take the accounts and come back to write and draw.
But how can accounting be completely mastered in three or five days, Qu Xiaobai has been injured these days, and has taught him some things intermittently, in addition to accounting, her major course management has also taught him some.
It is true that Xin Qingjun, the person who is in charge of all Yang Ling's family business, also has a lot of talent and learning skills, and Qu Xiaobai has also learned a lot of practical things from him.
"Qingjun." Qu Xiaobai said hello and led Yang Ling into the door, Xin Qingjun hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Little master, master, young master Qu, why are you here?" Sit down. β
He pointed to the chair, Qu Xiaobai pulled Yang Ling to sit down, and by the way, Qu Xiaohei also sat down, "Come to discuss something with you." β
"It's Young Master Qu's family business, right? Need me to be hired? β
"I can't hide anything from you." Qu Xiaobai smiled, "However, I'm wondering, if you let you go, will it be a bit overkill?" Otherwise, it's okay to let Xiao Dong go. β
"Dong Lang? That mouth of his, won't mess you up? β
"Ahem, no, he's quite clever." Qu Xiaobai thought about the origin of the title of Little Straight Man, and he felt how untrustworthy his words were, "That...... I'm bothering you? β
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Brother, do you hear me? Now you can go back and sleep soundly. β
Qu Xiaohei sat a little cramped, although Xin Qingjun was modest, but the majesty on his body made him dare not look directly, he lowered his eyebrows, and stumbled: "Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. Xin. β
Xin Qingjun smiled gently: "Young Master Qu is polite, I am deeply honored to be able to serve Young Master Qu, not to mention such a happy event, I naturally deserve it." β
"Then the matter is settled. Brother, go back and wait for the good news. β
Qu Xiao Hei Mu Ne, but not stupid, immediately got up, "Then, please ask Mr. Xin." Sister, I'll go home first, and if you have anything, let someone come over and greet me. β
"Okay, brother, you go slowly, I won't send it."
Qu Xiaobai said, stood up, sent Qu Xiaohei to the door, didn't go any further, Xin Qingjun sent him to the gate, turned back, unexpectedly, Qu Xiaobai did not leave.
"Little master, then, how to arrange tomorrow's dowry?" After Xin Qingjun entered the house, he discussed the dowry.
Qu Xiaobai stayed for this reason. Although it's not a big deal, if it doesn't work out, if Yang Hongxia's parents are not satisfied, they will smash it.
"Hongxia's family has pointed out that it will cost a dowry of one hundred taels of silver."
"It's easy."
"One hundred taels is naturally nothing, but in the future, Hongxia and my brother will live, and both of them will be responsible people, if Hongxia's parents are used as a cash cow, then life will not be very easy."
"If you don't satisfy them, I'm afraid this family affair won't be done, right?"
"Alas......" Qu Xiaobai sighed lightly, "That's right, then give a hundred taels of silver, and then, prepare a few more gifts, and press ...... Ordinary people should prepare twice, so that we will not lose our etiquette, and it will not contribute too much to the evil spirit of Hongxia's parents. β
"Okay, I'll let someone prepare."
"Well, let Aunt Zhuzi go with you tomorrow, Aunt Zhuzi is familiar with the affairs of the village, and she is in charge of everything."
Xin Qingjun was so transparent, he immediately said, "Understood." Don't worry, little master, I'm just waiting to drink the cup of wine from Young Master Qu. β
"Don't worry, your cup is indispensable."
Xin Qingjun thought, although the Qu family lived a poor life in the past, and the parents of the Qu family were not people who could be on the stage, but Qu Xiaobai was his own housewife, needless to say, his status was noble, so he had to be careful about the identity of the little housewife.
He didn't dare to be careless.
With Xin Qingjun here, Qu Xiaobai doesn't need to worry about it, coming out of Xin Qingjun's study, it is already evening, the sunset is all over the sky, the tired birds are returning to the nest, the coolness is very strong, Qu Xiaobai shrunk his neck, clenched Yang Ling's hand, took a deep breath, the cold air passed through the nasal cavity, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden! It's going to be bad, isn't it? He looked up at the colorful glow in the sky, and laughed at his ignorance: "No, the sunset travels thousands of miles, and this weather can't be broken so quickly." β
