Chapter 398: Visiting Brother
Early the next morning, Zheng Qingyi packed up early and went to the upper room.
I saw that there were twenty large and small gift boxes placed from the porch to the house, and she sighed secretly, who sent this?
When she entered the house, she realized that she had to take it to her cousin.
Who wouldn't want to go home in glory? Looking at the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the box, Zheng Qingyi was happy in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she said reservedly: "It's all a family, Mrs. Hou doesn't have to be like this." ”
"My cousin is not a money-grubbing man."
"It's the first time you've walked around since you got married." Mrs. Hou smiled kindly, glanced at the gift box, and said casually: "And it's just some ordinary customs, so that your cousin and sister-in-law don't have to be burdened." ”
She wanted Chu Yuanqing to understand that although the reputation of their Hou Mansion was damaged and not as good as before, the foundation and financial resources were still strong and should not be underestimated.
Not to mention that a person who has just entered Beijing is underestimated by a four-grade petty official!
Whether it's now or in the future, he doesn't even want to his tail in front of them!
Zheng Qingyi heard her say "marry", and in a trance thought that she was Mrs. Pingsu Hou.
However, if her cousin really has a firm foothold in Beijing, then she will be a serious official daughter, and her status has been elevated, and it is not impossible to become Mrs. Hou.
And if she becomes Mrs. Hou, then her son will be her son-in-law, and she will be invited to be the son of the world!
The more Zheng Qingyi thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't wait to go to Changle Fang immediately.
Mrs. Lao Hou took a sip of tea, glanced at Zheng Qingyi's face, and said softly: "When you were communicating with your cousin, did you mention anything in the house?" ”
Zheng Qingyi didn't know why Mrs. Hou suddenly asked like this.
Thinking about the black gold envelope of unknown origin, she said, "I haven't mentioned it." ”
There are many mistakes, Mrs. Hou is a shrewd person, and she is worried that if she is not careful, she will reveal her stuffing.
I simply said that I didn't mention it.
Old Mrs. Hou was slightly relieved when she heard her say this.
He thought about it: "Since I haven't mentioned it, don't mention it today." ”
"It's not too late to let him know after inviting him over to the house."
Zheng Qingyi was stunned and puzzled: "What does Mrs. Hou mean by this?" ”
She is now the aunt of the Hou Mansion, this is a glorious thing, so she should naturally tell her cousin.
Mrs. Hou had another thought.
Now the reputation of the Hou Mansion is not very good, and everyone in Beijing avoids it.
If he rashly told Chu Yuanqing, he would also stay away, how could it be good?
It's better to take it step by step, first sit down on this layer of relationship, and then it's not too late to talk deeply.
Zheng Qingyi listened to Mrs. Hou's words, and her heart "chuckled".
The Hou Mansion has no relatives, and no matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.
If she can't win over her cousin, she will face death!
Thinking back to my superficial thoughts, I was secretly afraid.
"Mrs. Lao Hou reminded that the concubine's thoughts are far less comprehensive than that of Mrs. Lao Hou."
Mrs. Lao Hou was originally worried that Zheng Qingyi would disagree, but now she not only agreed, but also quite agreed, and nodded with satisfaction: "It is Pei'er's blessing that you can be so sensible." ”
Although the identity is not on the stage, it is better to be obedient and obedient and easy to control.
Zheng Qingyi was ecstatic when she heard this.
It's really cool to have your back against the big tree!
In the past, Mrs. Lao Hou was afraid that she would not even look at her, let alone leave her to sit in the upper room and drink tea, and talk to her in a gentle manner.
I made up my mind to hug Chu Yuanqing's thigh!
All the explanations should be explained, Mrs. Lao Hou looked at it and said more, "There is still some distance from Changle Fang, don't delay, go quickly." ”
Zheng Qingyi smiled and left the upper room.
Wan Ting waited under the porch with a thick cloak, and when she saw Zheng Qingyi coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward to put it on her.
It snowed heavily for several days, and the cold drips turned into ice.
A gust of wind blew, Zheng Qingyi felt cold all over her body, and hurriedly wrapped her cloak tightly.
Every quarter of an hour, a mother-in-law came out to clean up the freshly fallen snow on the ground, and the thin layer of snow foam left on the ground was trampled firmly, like a layer of ice covering, and it was very slippery.
Wan Ting carefully helped Zheng Qingyi, and when she saw that she was cold, she said loudly: "Auntie, bear with me, it's good to get to the carriage." ”
Changle Fang, Chu Mansion.
Chu Yuanqing and his wife Gao sat in the warm pavilion, with three or five account books spread out on the small table in front of them.
Gao Shi dialed the abacus beads, and after seeing the amount on it, he frowned: "That Cheng Zhi is too black-hearted." As he spoke, he asked Chu Yuanqing again: "Can you ask him to reduce some?" ”
Chu Yuanqing also saw the amount on the abacus clearly, his face was not relaxed, and he said irritably when he heard the words: "What do you know?" When it is to buy turnips and cabbage, it is up to you to bargain! ”
Cheng Zhi's willingness to help has surprised Chu Yuanqing very much, if he is not happy in this kind of matter, then I am afraid that his errand will have to change.
Gao was displeased when he was trained, and he pushed his abacus, and said angrily: "Just these silvers, what do you say!" ”
Chu Yuanqing saw that Gao was displeased, and hurriedly suppressed his emotions.
He got up and walked around behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, leaned over and whispered softly.
Gao's face looked better.
Chu Yuanqing said: "Madam, I am sure, we will succeed this time!" ”
"It's just money." He said with a sad face, but his hands gently kneaded Gao's shoulders, and his voice was lower: "The opportunity is fleeting, can we ask my father-in-law to help him?" ”
Gao sighed: "Let's go to Beijing, my father has already made up a lot, I don't have the face to borrow money again!" ”
Chu Yuanqing frowned.
sat down next to her and said apologetically: "It's useless for the husband, and I can't let the lady be in the face of the mother's house." ”
When Gao heard him say this, he felt distressed: "What did the husband say? I don't allow you to belittle yourself like that. ”
When Chu Yuanqing heard this, his smile became gentle: "Actually, Gyeongju is also very good, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, and my wife can go back at any time if she is homesick." ”
"Although Jingzhong is good, it makes my wife and my father-in-law and mother-in-law thousands of miles apart, and I am full of longing."
"I'll go and reject Master Cheng tomorrow, let's go back to Gyeongju when the debriefing is over."
Gao was even more distressed.
Of course, she knew the ambition in Chu Yuanqing's heart.
Now I am fortunate to have the appreciation of the Ministry of Shangshu, and success is imminent, but it is a pity to stagnate because of the money.
"Well, I'll open my mouth to my father again."
"It's just that I will explain to my father that this silver is borrowed, and we will return it with interest in the future."
When Chu Yuanqing heard this, the malaise on his face dissipated, and he said happily: "This is natural, this is natural!" ”
Gao Shi saw that he was happy, and he was also happy, and he went to write a letter with a smile, accompanied by Chu Yuanqing, grinding ink on the side.
Before a letter was written, a maid came over and said that a guest had come to visit.
Gao Shi was puzzled: "What guest?" ”
They haven't made any friends in Beijing yet, so how can anyone visit?
The maid shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, the girl didn't show up in the carriage, saying that she wanted to see the adult." ”
As soon as the Gao family heard that it was a girl, and then heard that it was looking for Chu Yuanqing, he frowned and asked sharply: "Did you provoke a girl?!" ”
