Chapter 70
Chen Qingmei sighed and said a lot of bitter words, her eyes were teary, and everyone who watched felt pitiful.
Subsequently, Chen Qingmei took a few taels of silver from Mrs. Hu, and followed the maid out of the house.
"Cuixiang, Cuimo, what do you think?" Mrs. Hu asked, "What this little girl said is true or false?" ”
Cuixiang said, "This little girl came from the countryside and came to you, I am afraid that she did not have the courage to lie, and she was still afraid. ”
"I'm not a hungry wolf who eats people." Mrs. Hu laughed.
"Madam, the momentum on your body can deter people with a little bit, how dare this little girl lie." Cuimo flattered, "Looking at this little girl's pitiful appearance, it doesn't look like she's lying, I heard that the Qian family only rented it to them for three months, and besides, their price is expensive in the city, and this little girl is afraid that she will be cheated." ”
Cuixiang said, "Although this little girl is pitiful, she is also a smart one, she took her sister from the countryside to the city, selling noodles for a living, if she is stupid, I am afraid that she will beg along the street, where can she still sell ice powder." ”
"I think it's still the blessing of the ancestors, but such a craft has been passed down." Cui Mo said, "Let these two little girls have a place to live, but she also said that it is just to live in the village, and if you talk about it, it is also her grandmother who is hateful." ”
"That's what Xianglan said...."
Bei Xianglan came to Mrs. Hu before, hoping that Mrs. Hu could help her, she said that she was pitiful of this little girl and wanted to buy the formula, but this little girl was very stubborn and unwilling to sell the formula, so she asked Mrs. Hu to help.
"I don't want to sell formulas when I look at this little girl, and selling formulas is not a long-term solution." Cuixiang Road.
"They are also going to get married in the future, so it's better that they don't have to show up after they are sold." Cui Mo Road.
Cuixiang said, "Looking at her appearance, she is still young, and she is still a few years away from getting married, so she has relied on a little formula silver to live in the past few years, and there will be no dowry when she marries in the future." ”
Cuixiang was also moved by Chen Qingmei, and after thinking about her life experience, she felt that Chen Qingmei was pitiful, so she helped to say a few words.
"Madam, Miss Pei has no worries about food and clothing, whether this is trying to help Miss Chen, I am afraid you also know it in your heart." The grandmother next to her, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "If you force the formula, I'm afraid the master will be angry when he comes back." ”
This grandmother grew up watching Mrs. Hu since she was a child, and she turned out to be the big maid next to Mrs. Hu's mother, and now she is a dowry grandmother for Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu also trusts her.
Hearing Mama say this, Mrs. Hu nodded, she saw that Chen Qingmei was pitiful, she would not be a lady to rob a little girl of the formula, and it would be a joke to spread it, "Okay, I don't care about this matter, if Xianglan comes, I will shirk and say that I am not very comfortable." ”
The reputation is important or Bei Xianglan, you don't have to think about it, naturally the reputation of Hufu is more important.
Bei Xianglan originally thought that she entrusted this matter to Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu, in the name of Mrs. Prefect, would definitely be able to get the formula from this little girl, and it would not be in vain for her to ask for everything in front of Mrs. Hu.
As soon as she heard that Chen Qingmei had entered the Hu Mansion, Bei Xianglan's smile never broke, because in her cognition, this formula was a sure thing.
Later, when she heard the little maid say that Chen Qingmei came out of Hu's mansion, her expression was not very good, and she still held a few taels of silver in her hand, Bei Xianglan was even happier in her heart, it must have been Mrs. Hu who asked for the formula, Chen Qingmei was unhappy, and sure enough, it was right to find Mrs. Hu for this matter.
Bei Xianglan hurriedly cleaned up and went to Hu's mansion, who knew that Mrs. Hu was closed, saying that she had eaten a little cold and felt uncomfortable.
Bei Xianglan had to suppress her excitement and come back to visit another day.
As soon as Chen Qingmei got home, she was surrounded by groups, Jiang Xiangyun pulled Chen Qingmei up and down, and saw that she was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scared the hell out of me, big sister." Jiang Xiangyun said, "I thought something would happen to you, baa, look at my crow's mouth." ”
Chen Qingmei said with a smile, "Where will I have something, Mrs. Hu also gave a few taels of silver." ”
Chen Qingmei threw the silver on the table, "Xuanyi went to the restaurant to fry a few good dishes and came back, let's use the money to eat." ”
"Where is the need for so much silver?" Xuan Yi said, "Sister Qingmei, are you okay, what did Mrs. Hu tell you." ”
"They didn't say anything to me, they just said homely things." Chen Qingmei said.
Xuan Yi asked, "That Mrs. Hu.... Didn't ask you about the recipe. ”
"Mrs. Hu is also the prefect's wife, it is impossible to be so worried about my little formula, I'm afraid that someone said something to Mrs. Hu this time." Chen Qingmei had already guessed that it was not Mrs. Hu, but someone else who was eyeing her ice powder formula.
Xuan Yi touched his chin, "Speaking of which, we didn't have a grudge against anyone, why did anyone worry about it, it's really..."
"It must be red-eyed, who hates it so much." Jiang Xiangyun said.
Xuanrong also nodded, "That's it, I hate it." ”
"Why are you here, and you still don't want to write." Xuan Yi carried Xuan Rong's back collar, "I can't look at you if I don't look at you for a while." ”
"I just want to see if there's anything wrong with Sister Qingmei, I care about her." Xuanrong said, "I've been writing for half an hour, and I want to rest, brother..."
Looking at Xuanrong's pleading appearance, Xuanyi was a little unbearable, "Forget it, I'm only allowed to stay for a while, and I'll have to write later, and I'll have to hand it in tomorrow." ”
"Got it, brother." Xuanrong stuck out his tongue, "Is the dim sum that Sister Xiangyun made for me good, I'm hungry." ”
"Alright." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Eldest sister, I made red bean cake, let's eat some together." ”
"Hmm."
After Chen Qingmei ate dim sum cake, she still thought about the transaction with the shopkeeper Hu before, this matter can not be exposed, she was not so careful at the beginning, and she traded with the shopkeeper Hu aggressively, but now with Mrs. Hu's wife, Chen Qingmei has to be careful, they are still red-eyed.
In the middle of the night, an eerie cry woke Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun.
"Who is this, what are you crying in the middle of the night?" Jiang Xiangyun rubbed his eyes, and his tone was a little impatient, "What are you crying about in the middle of the night?" ”
Chen Qingmei said, "It seems that it is not far away, I'll take a look." ”
"Eldest sister, don't worry so much, what if it's a bad guy." Jiang Xiangyun grabbed Chen Qingmei.
"Where are there so many bad people, I can't sleep when she cries like this."
"Then I'll come with you." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Go and see who disturbs my dreams, it's so annoying." ”
The cry was not very loud, but it was intermittent, and it was a little cold in the dark night, which made people feel scary.
