Chapter 40: Rejection
"You're welcome!" Qingqing had finished eating, put down the bowl and smiled at him. Of course, she also had a feeling that it was weird! Why is it okay to go to your own house to eat, and accompany yourself to eat bitter rice?
At this time, the old man stood up, took An An's rice, and followed Qingqing, soaked the rice into the soup and ate it by himself.
"Grandpa, eat steamed buns!" Qingqing was a little stunned, of course, she was also a little guilty, and the family didn't need to cooperate with her like this.
"That's so hypocritical!" The old man glanced at An An, poured the last bite of soup and rice into his mouth, and wiped it with his hand. However, he still glanced at the West Gate open.
An An, who was completely depressed by the master, looked at her grandfather with a steamed bun and pouting.
Qingqing gently touched An An's head, "Do you still want soup?" I'll give you Sheng. ”
"Qingqing, you can drink some more soup." Ximen opened to look left and right, feeling that he seemed to be a little redundant, and said busily.
Qingqing smiled at him, shook his head, and took a bowl to serve An Ansheng soup.
Qiao Dayong and Qiao Ye raised their heads together and looked at Ximen Kai. But the two of them glanced at Qingqing, who was concentrating on holding the soup bowl, and lowered their heads together.
He Shi's eyes also widened, but he immediately lowered his head and ate the steamed bun.
Qingqing put the soup bowl in front of An An, smiled at everyone, and was about to leave the hall, but thought about it, "Lord Ximen, I'll take trouble to get the case file later." ”
"Don't worry, do you want to watch it for a few more days?" Simon was stunned.
"Thank you!" Qingqing bowed her head and went back to the study.
"Old man, your granddaughter seems to only like to say 'thank you'. It's really boring!" Yue Wenqin couldn't help but raise his head and complained to the old man.
"And what did you tell her to say?" Qiao Ye glanced at him coldly.
"Old man, it's not easy to be like you with eccentricity! If you raise a girl like this, you really won't be able to get married. "Yue Wenqin is really a little heartbroken.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Qiao Ye said coldly.
"Yes, okay!" Yue Wenqin shook his head, sincerely feeling that this family was too unreasonable.
"Old man, I'm done eating, I'll go find Qingqing." Simon got up hurriedly and prepared to go to Qingqing.
"Lord Simon, I happen to have something in prison to report to you, so I might as well ask you to move." The old man stood up with a dark face.
Qiao Dayong also stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'll listen to it too." ”
Qiao Ye glanced at his son, but still got up and went into the backyard by himself.
Ximen Kai took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to Qiao Dayong, and asked him to go first.
In the main landlord's house in the backyard, the old man lowered his head and played with a pair of walnuts, which Qingqing gave him, saying that he could move his hands and was good for his body. The old man thought it was okay, so he stayed. This pair of walnuts is playing red in his hands, it is already his favorite thing, as long as he has a mind, he also likes to hold it in his hand and turn it slowly.
"Old man!" Ximen Kai has been sitting for a while, the old man just doesn't speak, he knows that whoever opens first will lose, but at this moment, it is not a question of who loses and who wins.
"Lord Simon, thank you for taking such good care of Qingqing. However, Qingqing has already made up her mind not to take care of the case anymore. Trouble Lord Simon to practice Dayong more in the future, it was originally his job, and he should be allowed to do it himself. The old man put down the walnut, raised his head and said slowly, he has never said much, and it is already a big event to be able to say such a long list.
"Old man, I have already written home, and Lord Tie has also repaired the book to plead to my grandfather, and I believe that there will be a reply soon." Ximen Kai raised his head and arched his hands and said seriously.
"What does that mean?" Qiao Dayong glared at Ximen Kai and turned to his father.
"Uncle, I have asked my family for instructions and asked them to come to Beijing to hire Qingqing." Simon pursed his lips.
"Then I can only ask you to apologize to your family again, Qingqing is not suitable for a high-ranking family, and the Qiao family can only apologize!" Qiao Ye stared at the pair of walnuts and said indifferently.
"Old man!" Ximen Kai didn't expect Qiao Ye to refuse himself directly without thinking about it.
"Yes, Qingqing is shy, you have seen it these days, she can't do anything but study. I can't even wash the dishes after eating, so our arrangement for Qingqing is to choose an obedient one to stay by our side, the Ximen family is too high for the Qiao family. Qiao Dayong hurriedly stood up, opened his hand to the west gate, and said solemnly.
"Qiao catches the head, I'm serious. Besides, Qingqing likes to collect evidence, and no one can do it better than her. With me, she can always do what she loves. As for the little things like cooking and laundry, just ask someone to do it. Uncle, Qingqing likes to read books and likes to find prisoners in her own way, if you find someone who doesn't understand her at all, what's the meaning of her life? ”
"Thank you, Lord Simon." Qiao Ye shook his head and said indifferently, "However, you see, our family Qingqing is not in good health, and we will not choose a son-in-law for her in recent years." Don't dare to delay you! ”
"Master Qiao!" Ximen Kai frowned.
"Thank you, Lord Simon, but I don't need to talk about it. I've been delaying you for so long, Dayong, send Lord Simon out! Qiao Ye waved his hand.
"Lord Simon, please!" Qiao Dayong hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Ximen pursed his mouth, looked at the gloomy Qiao Ye, and still retreated.
Walking out of the main hall, Ximen Kai looked at Qiao Dayong, "Qiao Zhutou, I hope you can see clearly, no one will support her interest like me." ”
"Yes, I agree, but in this matter, I agree with my father's decision." Qiao Dayong shook his head and replied firmly.
"Why?" Ximen Kai is going crazy, why do the Qiao family father and son say this.
"Not why. Thank you! By the way, you still have to go to Qingqing to get the file, right, I'll accompany you. Qiao Dayong still stretched out his hand and asked him to go out.
Ximen Kai thought about it, "Qiao Zhutou, do you want to ask Qingqing what he means?" If Qingqing refuses, I will die. ”
"Lord Simon!" Qiao Dayong still asked him to go out, obviously he didn't accept it at all.
In Qingqing's study, Qingqing was studying with An An, and they all put an open orange bowl in front of them.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Dayong came in with a smile and patted An An's face gently.
"I was listening to my sister's story, and by the way, we also ate steamed oranges with salt. Uncle, isn't Brother Yue a little weird, why do you use salt to steam oranges. ”
"This is to moisten the lungs and relieve cough, the weather is very dry, eat it now, you can avoid coughing in a few days." Qingqing lightly nodded An An's nose, saw the west door open, and hurriedly opened the lock and took out the file, "Thank you!" ”
"Finished reading it so soon? Do you have any experience? Simon opened the complete dossier.
"It's a bit of an idea, but I'll have to think again." Qingqing bowed her head, she didn't want to tell her father and An An.
"Qingqing ......" Ximen Kai still wanted to ask Qingqing's thoughts, he was unwilling to fail so much.
