Compared with the warm atmosphere of the Ma family's courtyard, the Feng family Zhuangzi was a little nervous at this time.

"Heh, I didn't expect a cook to be so angry!"

In the dining room in the front yard of the Feng family's Zhuangzi, the person sitting on the main seat had some anger on his face, and his eyes glanced at the three members of the Chai family.

Hearing the other party's words, Mrs. Chai snorted coldly with the enemy: "Hmph, their Li family is like that, they are all so poor, and they are still holding on, don't take this job if you have the ability!" ”

Chai Tianyou was also a little annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect them to leave directly.

Knowing this, he personally arranged it.

Thinking of this, Chai Tianyou pulled his sister who was about to scold, didn't let her speak, got up and looked at the old woman in the first place, and her attitude was soft.

"Auntie, don't be angry about such a trivial matter, since we brought the people, we will solve this matter. Besides, although it is inappropriate for them to leave in a hurry, perhaps they dare to do so because of the Arima family as their backer! ”

As he spoke, Chai Tianyou stared at the old woman's expression tightly, wanting to see something from it.

The old woman sitting at the head of the dining table showed a hint of surprise on her face when she heard the word Ma family: "Do they have an old relationship with the Ma family?" ”

Chai Tianyou remembered the posture of the Li family being picked up on the day he came to the county town, and what he secretly inquired about, so he nodded firmly.

"Auntie, that day was the old man of the Ma family who personally picked up the old man Li, look at the nervous strength of the old man of the Ma family, presumably the relationship between the two is extraordinary, this is what my nephew saw with his own eyes!"

The old woman thought for a moment and waved her hand to let them eat first.

How things are, she will find out as soon as she checks!

After the meal, everyone moved to the guest room of the second courtyard, and the old woman left Chai Tianyou by her side, and asked people to find the porter and the cook to come and interrogate.

After careful cross-examination, the old woman had nothing more to say.

After a while, he turned his head to Chai Tianyou and said: "Since you brought the person, the matter will be left to you!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his chin to the maid next to him: "Go, give fifty taels of silver to the uncle, and then go and get two boxes of high-quality snacks, a set of four treasures from the study and two horses and send them." ”

Although she is not afraid of the Ma family, she is afraid that things will not look good on the big side.

When Chai Tianyou heard that he could get fifty taels of silver, he was immediately overjoyed and his face was overjoyed.

Seeing this, the old woman instructed: "Something to make an apology for the Li family, just say that the subordinate is ignorant and unruly, and he has already punished me." The fifty taels of silver, you find an opportunity to stuff it into the people of the Li family. ”

Of course, the benefits of Chai Tianyou are also indispensable.

The old woman turned the bracelet's hand for a moment, took off the solid thick silver bracelet in her hand and handed it over: "Take it to your daughter-in-law and wear it!" ”

Although he didn't get the fifty taels of silver, Chai Tianyou happily took the bracelet and thought: This bracelet is not light, it can be exchanged for a lot of silver!

As for what his aunt said about wearing it for his daughter-in-law, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Of course, Chai Tianyou already had a lot of eyes, and after taking the fifty taels of silver, he wanted to deduct the twenty taels privately, and only planned to take thirty taels as a gift.

Seeing Chai Tianyou's nature, the old woman raised her eyes slightly to look at him, and said lightly: "Fifty taels of silver must be accepted by them, this is the key, if something goes wrong, you should know the consequences." ”

When Chai Tianyou heard this, he woke up from his fantasy, and his back was a little cold.

His aunt is not his own aunt, if she gets angry, I'm afraid she will cut off the help for the Chai family.

Thinking of the power, Chai Tianyou hurriedly gathered his mind and promised: "Auntie don't worry, nephew understands!" ”

When Chai Tianyou went out with a lot of things, the old woman showed anger, pointed to the cook on the side and scolded: "Get out of here and kneel, when you figure it out and when you come in, I don't have to be confused here." ”

Where did the cook dare to explain, and she didn't dare to go out of the door, so she knelt honestly next to the house.

Her current job is hard to find, and after managing the kitchen for so many years, she has naturally made a lot of oil and water. If you are suddenly dismissed, it will not only be humiliating, but also a heavy loss.

The third son stood aside with his head bowed in fear, but listened to the old woman's speech: "Go and grab a lot of money for him, this thing is good, and you will be on an errand in the future!" ”

The third son breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him for retreating.

The rewards and punishments were clear, and no one present complained.

At that end, Chai Tianyou took his things, and as soon as he went out, he hurriedly got into the carriage and went to the Ma family's house.

Patriarch Li was taking a lunch break, and when he heard Chai Tianyou coming as a guest, he naturally knew why he came, so he got up slowly and went to entertain the guests.

Chai Tianyou refilled the tea twice, and just waited for Patriarch Li, although he was unhappy in his heart, he pretended to be kind on his face.

I also wanted to ask carefully about some useful things, but Patriarch Li didn't give Chai Tianyou face, and received him lightly, even if Chai Tianyou asked a lot, Patriarch Li only glanced at him, looking like he didn't want to speak.

endured his anger, but Chai Tianyou didn't dare to mess things up.

"All the mistakes in this matter are the fault of the subordinates, my aunt said that the banquet still needs the help of Sister-in-law Li and the two children, and this matter is tired!"

When Patriarch Li waved his hand to let him take the things back, Chai Tianyou hurriedly got up and waved his hand, and walked out again and again.

When he walked outside, he saw Chai Shuiqing and Li Xiufeng fiddling with some plants, seeing this, Chai Tianyou hurriedly stuffed the silver to Chai Shuiqing: "You transfer it to the Li family for me, this is an apology!" ”

After saying that, he hurriedly climbed into the carriage and left.

Chai Shuiqing stared at the fifty taels of silver ingots in his hand for a while, Li Xiufeng's eyes widened, and she wanted to touch it curiously.

Fifty taels of silver, ten silver ingots!

Chai Shuiqing saw Li Xiufeng's cautious appearance, so he casually stuffed the silver ingot into her hand: "This thing can't look bad, how you want to look at it, it's your family anyway." ”

"My family's? But ......"

Li Xiufeng said, turned her head to look at her grandfather standing at the eaves, and suddenly felt that the silver ingots were hot.

Patriarch Li naturally heard Chai Shuiqing's words and shook his head unconsciously.

"Grandpa Li, anyway, it's the apology given by the housekeeper, and if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it. If they don't, they will not be at peace. ”

Chai Shuiqing said with a smile, that natural appearance made Patriarch Li amused, and shook his head again and again: "I can't control it, I can't control it, take it!" ”

When Li Xiufeng heard this, she cheered happily, and then jumped up and handed the silver ingot to the Zhao family.

Naturally, those gifts were also accepted.

The Zhao family didn't expect that the name of the Ma family was so easy to use, and the people of the Feng family's Zhuangzi over there were so polite, and they suddenly had confidence.

Chai Tianyou sat in the carriage, thinking of Patriarch Li's arrogant posture, his heart was not happy.

But thinking that the Li family had received the money, I was relieved.

With short hands, the Li family is not a fool, and it will definitely not make any more trouble.

There are still two days left before the banquet, and the Feng family Zhuangzi is getting busier and busier, and from time to time you can see carts loaded with various vegetables and meat pulling up to the Zhuangzi.

The three of them also came to the big kitchen again the day before the first banquet.

However, at this time, a place has been vacated in the large kitchen for their use.

The third son hurriedly introduced: "Mrs. Li and the two girls just need to cook, if there is a bad one, just find Mrs. Xu." Well, that's Mrs. Xu. ”

Pointing to Mrs. Xu, who was waiting on the side, the third son beckoned the other helpers in the kitchen to bring in the ingredients they wanted.

These two completely different treatments made the Zhao family a little unable to come back to their senses.
