Chi Yue quietly put aside the Zhou family, she was faintly angry with the Zhou family in her heart.

If it weren't for the cowardice of the Zhou family, who gave the Qiao family a dozen taels of silver to make them taste the sweetness, where would they find ways to come to them to collect debts?

These two people, although they keep saying that they want to cut off contact with them and no longer entangle, but they are scoundrels like them, can she believe their unfounded promises?

"Isn't it clear enough to tell you? One hundred taels, no. Chi Yue was resolute and said it again word by word.

Seeing that Chi Yuetie couldn't move, Qiao's stiffened the noisy Grandma Chi, and finally lowered the price, "That's good, fifty taels, it's okay, right?" If there are few, your lord will probably think that you curse them, and he will not be happy! ”

Grandpa Chi still has a little prestige in the eyes of Chi Yue's juniors, and now Grandma Chi is playing tricks, so Qiao Shi can't help but feel weak if he wants to take it out to threaten, so he has to take Grandpa Chi out to talk.

"Fifty taels, and no." Chi Yue's face did not change again, and she replied word by word.

"Okay, are you iron-hearted after eating the scales?" Qiao Shi tried to restrain his anger from exploding, "Chi Yue, aren't you afraid that we will set up a shelter here so that you will have a bad year?" ”

Chi Yue gradually clenched his fists.

To say that she doesn't care is false. But now that Gu Han is gone, will the county master still look at his face, and in this season of self-care, will he take care of her big fart?

These two scoundrels, can't she touch them at all?

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the bronze who was whining and snorting on the side, protesting at the two bronzes, Chi Yue hooked his lips and sneered, "Bronze, don't send off guests yet?" ”

When Bronze received the order, he immediately jumped up like an arrow, and in the face of the two women, he cried out.

Faced with the fierce bronze, the two women were so frightened that they fled in front of the door.

Grandma Chi was almost frightened, but she didn't forget to point at Zhou and said angrily: "You bastard daughter-in-law who killed a thousand knives, see if I go back and don't tell the old man, ask him to expel you from the family tree!" ”

Zhou was frightened, and immediately pulled Chi Yue, "Yue'er, call Bronze back, don't scare your milk!" ”

Chi Yue didn't hear it, but just acquiesced to Bronze to expel the two, and was about to intimidate them out of the door.

When the legs and feet of the two of them were out of the threshold, Chi Yue was about to summon Bronze back, but she heard Qiao's trembling voice and say loudly: "Thirty taels, how about thirty taels?" ”

"Ten taels, and then bargaining, it's five taels." There was no emotion in Chi Yue's words, because she was already very disappointed in the old mansion, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them, so it was best not to call these two people "grandma" and "auntie" in the future.

"Okay, ten taels is ten taels!" As if he had made a great determination, Qiao Shi gritted his teeth and shouted.

"I said a long time ago that ten taels is enough, and you still want to make such a joke and make people see the joke!" Grandma Chi glared at Qiao's with disgust, ready to come in and get the ten taels of silver tickets, and the moment she caught a glimpse of the bronze, she trembled, and her legs and feet couldn't lift it.

"Daughter-in-law, go get it!" Grandma Chi commanded.

Qiao had no choice but to go in from the side, away from the bronze, and was about to take the silver ticket from Chi Yue's hand, but saw Chi Yue raise the silver ticket, put it behind him, and said to Chi Xin: "Sister, go to the house to get a pen and paper, I want to write." ”

Chi Xin entered the house, quickly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put it on the wooden table next to Chi Yue.

Chi Yue walked over, picked up the pen, hurriedly wrote a few lines, and read in his mouth while writing, "Emperor Yan was thirty in the ninth year of the lunar month, and Chi Yue and the Zhou family gave the Chi family's old house ten taels of silver today, as the pension of the second elder of the Chi family in his old age, and he has nothing to do with the old house from now on. The second elder of the old house, the eldest family of the same pool, no matter what the reason, if he comes to entangle again, he will immediately pay Chi Yue and Zhou's twenty taels of silver, and this is the basis for this, hoping that he will not forget. ”

When Qiao Shi heard this, his eyes turned red sharply, "You only gave us ten taels of silver, so you want us to compensate twenty taels?" Isn't this a slander? ”

Chi Yue sneered, "If you don't come to entangle and disturb us, where will the compensation come from?" Therefore, as long as you take care of your legs and your mouth, and do not come and bother us, you and I will always be at peace. ”

"Chi Yue, you are so ruthless, let's see if there are any good people who take a fancy to you in the future!" Qiao snatched the silver ticket from Chi Yue's hand and turned around angrily.

Grandma Chi saw the silver ticket, but she was so happy, although she didn't think of how to use so much money, but the money was in her hands, and she was much more at ease.

"Wang" twice, Bronze roared angrily at the backs of the two, and the two women turned white with fright, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Chi Yue clenched the contract in her hand tightly and raised her eyes to look at Zhou, "Mother, don't do stupid things in the future." If you show kindness to people who don't know how to be grateful and only know how to ask for it, you will only get more and more of their desires and tyranny. After this, if you can't see their faces clearly, I'm really disappointed in you. ”

Zhou looked at Chi Yue worriedly, knowing that she obviously knew everything about her private help to the old house, wiped the corners of her eyes, and sighed, "This can be regarded as a lesson for spending money, my mother can't see their faces clearly, it's really lard that blinds her heart, and she is confused to the extreme!" Since there is a contract, we don't have to be blackmailed and bullied in the future. I'm not afraid of them making irresponsible remarks about outsiders in the future, and I can finally straighten my waist and be a man in the future! ”

Chi Yue also sighed and squeezed Zhou's hand, which was counted as relief.

After all, Zhou is an ancient woman, and she has received a lot of admonitions from three obediences and four virtues, and it is inevitable that she will worry about these things in her heart and accumulate depression.

As a new human in the 21st century, she should be considerate of these poor women.

Seeing them crying, Chi Xin hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Look at you, Chinese New Year's Eve, what is there to be sad about us?" Chi Yue, come and help me make dumplings. Mother, you sit down and take a break, take a sip of tea, my sister and I are busy. ”

Zhou and Chi Yue smiled with relief, and the family was happy again, and the laughter spread out.

When Gu Han returned to Beijing, it was the time when fireworks were flying in the sky, lanterns were swaying, and the capital was the most lively and beautiful.

Gu Han didn't care to appreciate these lively scenes, and entered the palace non-stop to meet the Queen Mother.

In the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the Chinese lanterns illuminate the hall like daylight, reflecting a touch of luxurious crimson on the soft collapse, and the fine silk reflects the dazzling brilliance. The faint incense filled the air, covering up the smell of charcoal in all directions, and making the old woman leaning on the soft collapse more and more drowsy.

"Back to the Queen Mother, King Rong is back." The eunuch Li E stepped forward and reported cautiously.

The Queen Mother Huo Ran opened her eyes and hurriedly stood up, "Let him come in." ”

When she saw Gu Han, she stepped forward with a smile, grabbed his hand, looked up and down, and said angrily: "You kid, you don't know how to come back after going out for a year and a half, and you don't want your mother, do you?" ”

Gu Han saw that the Queen Mother was in good spirits, and frowned, "Queen Mother, didn't you send someone to tell me that you are sick in bed and very uncomfortable?" Erchen was worried about you, so he came from a horse of thousands of miles without stopping, but at this time, you were not safe and sound? ”

"Hmph, if I hadn't pretended to be sick, how would you have come back? I couldn't do it, so I made this decision. The Queen Mother said it as a matter of course, ignoring Gu Han's uncertain look, her words revealed a deep concern, "Look at you, after you went out, you tossed your body again and became so thin." Where is there a palace outside, the food and clothing are extremely bad and coarse, if you want me to say, don't go out again when you come back this time, stay in the capital well, let the queen mother find someone to serve you wholeheartedly, and give you a good body. ”

Gu Han knew that he had clearly been white and fat in the more than a year he had been out, a little fatter than when he first went out, and his complexion was ruddy and healthy.

He does not puncture, and satisfies his mother's self-obsession with all his heart.

As soon as Gu Han came, the Queen Mother ordered the imperial dining room to make bird's nest lily porridge, abalone and sea cucumber dishes, etc., and a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas was served.

In the face of these delicacies, Gu Han had no appetite at all. Somehow, the home-cooked side dishes that Chi Yue made came to his mind, and the tip of his tongue was overflowing, and it was also from her that he tasted the familiar taste.

Seeing that Gu Han put down the chopsticks and didn't eat, the Queen Mother became more and more worried, and sighed: "You have been alone outside this year, but it has hurt you!" Tomorrow, I will ask Han Qi to accompany you to Hanshan Temple, burn incense and worship the Buddha, enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax your heart, and then ask the girl to make a few delicious dishes for you, and you will have a very comfortable life in the next year! ”

"Han Qi?" Gu Han frowned and pondered, "But the daughter of Prime Minister Han?" ”

I remember that when I was a child, a palace feast was held in the palace, and he had seen her two or three times.

"Do you remember her? So good, so good! The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, and there was even more meaning in it, "During your absence, Han Qi's girl came to the palace from time to time to talk with me, which relieved a lot of boredom in the palace." She also makes delicious dishes and embroiders good flowers, which can be described as omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And she can go up to the hall and the kitchen, and in this noble lady, a clever woman who can do everything like her and is proficient in everything is really rare! If you see her tomorrow, you promise to be as fond of her as I am. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Gu Han's eyebrows couldn't help frowning deeper. He vaguely felt that it was unusual for the Queen Mother to push a woman to his side like this, and to ask him to "pamper her".

"Erchen just came back, and I want to go to meet the emperor's brother and sister-in-law first, and meet my former friends." Gu Han euphemistically prevaricated, "I still hope that the queen mother will be fulfilled." ”

Seeing that Gu Han insisted on this, the Queen Mother had no choice but to compromise, "It's okay, I'll give you a day off tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, you have to give Miss Han a chance, don't make people wait for a long time." ”

Gu Han didn't say a word, talked to the Queen Mother for a while, and then went back to his bedroom outside the palace.
