Qi didn't expect his daughter to be so generous, looking at Zhou's almost moved face, his heart suddenly felt a little more relieved.

It's just that she still has a lot of things in her heart, and she must be saying it in today's festive atmosphere, and she has been looking for the right time.

Helplessly, after entering the house for a long time, I didn't see Xiaolang's figure, but I was afraid that there would be some disputes with this, which would break this harmonious atmosphere.

Thinking like this, she could only be patient and said to the Zhou family: "Ning'er, as the eldest daughter of Su Mansion, it is understandable to cherish her sister, and the second aunt does not need to see outside. ”

"Oh, hehe, what my brother and sister-in-law said, what my brother and sister-in-law said", Zhou smiled: "I have already learned that my brother and sister-in-law and Ning'er went back to the house today, and specially prepared a banquet. ”

As she spoke, she immediately ordered Su Que next to her to call Su Ningxiang and Zheng to come over.

It was the evening meal time, bumping on the carriage for a few hours, Suning'er was already hungry and tired, and she also wanted to rest early after eating earlier.

In the meditation hall, the Qi family endured for a long time, and at the moment he couldn't sit still, staring at the outside and frowning lightly: "I don't see Xiaolang today, the festival has passed, isn't it that the shops everywhere are in trouble, and he needs to go to the spot in person?" ”

Zhou pursed his lips bitterly, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother and sister-in-law said that it was difficult, the New Year is approaching, but all the prosperous shops in Chang'an City have been taken into the bag by the Tao family, but the Tao family's fangs are not satisfied, and they have already calculated the shops of my Su family in the West Market, and now it is almost difficult to find a shop in Chang'an City, and the price has skyrocketed, I am afraid that this year's transaction with Hu Shang will lose a lot of our Su family." ”

Although the Qi family has never interfered in the Su family's business affairs, when they heard that the Su family was in trouble, they had to ask a few words: "Could it be that there is no turning point?" ”

"If it is placed before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that it will already be like this", Zhou said indifferently, but the words changed again:

"A while ago, Boluan also went to see the two Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and the two Shaoqing were very strict at that time, but just the day before yesterday, Liu Shaoqing asked a matchmaker to go to the house to propose marriage, and asked for his eldest man to marry Ning'er, and also asked someone to pass down the word, saying that there have been some changes in the West Market recently, and this year's market transaction may also have a turnaround, but it will not be decided until after meeting Taifu Qing."

Qi Shi thought about it and nodded: "In the early years, when the Su family bought shops in Chang'an City, I heard that many shops around Naxi City were in the hands of Taifuqing's brother-in-law. ”

"This matter is now a trivial matter, my brother and sister-in-law don't have to work hard, today Liu Shaoqing personally led Boluan to see Taifuqing, even if he can't fight for anything, but it won't be difficult to keep his own shops in Xishi."

Zhou's smile was open, and his eyes were about to pop out excitedly when he looked at Suning:

"Not to mention those big businessmen in the past two days, that is, the nobles in the court, in addition to Liu Shaoqing's family, there are also Qin Pavilion elders of the Hanlin Academy who ask for his family grandson to marry relatives, at the moment Ning'er is a celebrity in Chang'an City, who doesn't look at it a few times, as long as this family is well discussed, not to mention that our Su family can be like a fish in water in the business field in the future, I am afraid that Boluan can also use this to make up for a shortage in the court."

Qi Shi frowned unconsciously when he heard this, this year the world is declining, and it is no longer as simple as in the past, not to mention the merchant nationality, many court officials above the fifth grade are also openly and secretly involved in the business.

Su Jing wants to enter the official career, which is also an inspiring thing for her as an eldest sister-in-law, but Zhou's words are to use his daughter's marriage to exchange for wealth.

After experiencing what happened last time, she is still like a frightened bird now, how dare she think about it again.

Sun Ning'er on the side was also depressed in her heart, because she was divorced by Qingwangfu, she shrank in Tanghua Courtyard for more than a month, and she didn't even dare to step out of the threshold, but now she has become a fragrant gluttony with a little-known poem, which really makes people sigh at the impermanence of the world.

The mother and daughter were silent, and they listened to Zhou's self-talking: "Hey, the slave family really underestimated Ning'er, a girl, who was favored by the sage, not only the brother and sister-in-law are famous, but even I, the aunt, have a lot of face when I walk on the street. ”

"Well, which family's proposal did the second aunt accept?" , Qi Shi listened to her endlessly talk about this matter, and finally couldn't help but interrupt her and bring the topic on the right track.

Suning'er also looked over at this time, only to see Zhou's slightly bulging eyes: "My brother and sister-in-law are not here, how dare the slave family be the master without permission, Bo Luan has also specially explained, this time Ning'er's marriage is all up to her own decision." ”

Qi Shi unconsciously felt a burst of warmth in his heart, nodded with satisfaction, and began to express his chest:

"These things have happened, and the slave family doesn't ask Ning'er to have much wealth, they just hope that her future life can be smooth and smooth."

Then she closed her eyes slightly, adjusted her demeanor, and tried to make what she was going to say next to be accepted naturally:

"A few days ago, the Lang family came to Beijing, and Ning Er also saw it, and the slave family had asked Ning Er's opinion, and she was very like, so when she came back today, the slave family also wanted to discuss this matter with the second aunt."

"Lang Jialang?" , who knew that Zhou's "poof" laughed out loud: "Brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to joke with the slave family, that fangzi country husband, and the concubine from the concubine's room, how can he be worthy of Ning'er, he doesn't ask for great wealth, but he wants to marry a stunned horseman, isn't this a joke for the people of Chang'an City." ”

She only listened to a big joke, shook her head indignantly, glanced at Su Ning'er meaningfully, and said in a serious tone:

"Brother and sister-in-law, don't do Ning'er's girl anymore, Ning'er is no better than before, there are so many people in Chang'an City who are the right people, how can you count the fangs from the countryside, don't say that the slave family can't agree, even if it is Boluan, or the deceased brother is still alive, it will not be allowed, brother and sister-in-law should dispel this idea, our businessmen and women will not be anything else, and there is still some talent in judging the situation."

Suning'er saw that her face was already gloomy, and when she looked at the Qi family again, she also sank her face, knowing that it was difficult to negotiate with the Lang family for a while, not to mention that the second uncle was not there, so she had to quickly persuade:

"Ning'er's marriage is not in a hurry, Ning'er and her mother just returned to the house today, aunt doesn't have to be angry, it's better to let her mother rest first, and when the second uncle comes back, it's not too late for everyone to calm down and discuss slowly."

Qi Shi still had a cold face, didn't say anything, and slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Qingchun outside the door hurriedly stepped in, carefully supported her, and the master and servant slowly walked out of the inner hall.

The anger in Zhou's heart was soaring and rubbed upward, but when he reached his chest, he was forced back by himself, and he froze there silently, and his whole face was no longer bloody.

At this time, Su Que led Su Ningxiang and Zheng Shi Zheng over, several people looked at each other, Su Ningxiang's pair of crystal eyes flashed quickly, and asked inexplicably: "Why are the eldest sister and eldest aunt leaving again?" ”

Qi Shi walked forward silently, and Suning'er saw that her cousin's attitude towards her had changed a lot today, so she smiled at her with a bitter face, and could only leave in a huff.

Behind her, Su Ningxiang pouted in confusion, and ran to Zhou's face, and asked with a complaint: "Auntie, what are you doing, don't you let Ah Que pass me over for dinner, everyone is here, why did the eldest sister and eldest aunt leave?" ”

"Use, use, use, you will know how to eat."

The sudden angry rebuke frightened Zheng and Su Ningxiang all over, and they were stunned and at a loss.
