Chapter 40: Big Bargain

Zhan's mother came back from Xiao's house again, the sky was already dark, she asked Tu'er, knowing that Xiao Rongyue had already ordered the meal, and she wouldn't want her to reply today, so she simply went back to her room, stuffed some silver money into the little maid Chunyan, and asked her to give it to the chef Li Ke's sister-in-law, so that she could send some wine and food.

She had been tired all day, and she was already tired and tired, and if it weren't for the sake of getting good in front of Madame, she wouldn't have had to run so much.

As soon as he sat down on the couch, someone outside greeted him with a smile: "Is Mother Zhan in the room?" ”

It was Zheng's mother, who came to marry with her, and she was about the same age as Zhan's mother, but she was not as decent as her, and she only managed the flowers and trees in the garden.

Zhan's mother answered, but it was strange, in the past, Zheng's mother didn't move around with her much, but today it is rare.

Mother Zheng pulled the curtain in, and saw Mother Zhan sitting on the couch with a fan, and said with a smile: "It's time for you to come back, I just came over." ”

She also carried a food box in her hand, swaying it on the table: "The kitchen here is not as good as the one in the house over there, and even the roasted duck is not very authentic, so it's barely okay." ”

Zhan's mother glanced at her and smiled: "What is this for, what is the happy event?" She pointed to the rattan mat beside her: "Could it be that your second child said that she has a daughter-in-law and is going to start a family?" ”

Zheng's mother belched, sat down and opened the food box, and took out a roasted golden and fragrant fat duck, but sighed in her mouth: "How can there be such a good thing, I asked someone to help look at several families, all of which are high or low." ”

"Speaking of us, it's the most embarrassing, I want to say a good family, I haven't gotten rid of slavery, where do I dare to think about Gao Panliang's family, but if I want to find a villager's family, I always feel ......" She smacked her tongue, "I always feel uncomfortable, I am also serving in the house, how can I go back to Zhuangzi to pick up relatives." ”

Hearing this, Zhan's mother couldn't agree more, and nodded again and again: "Who said no, where do those people from Zhuang families have a little knowledge, not to mention their appearance and conduct, they can't be compared with the house." ”

She took an oil-soaked duck leg handed over by Zheng's mother: "There will be wine and food in a while, don't worry." ”

Mother Zheng smiled bitterly: "I also want to say one for him in the house, not to mention a few decent maids like Sanqi and Camellia, but the second- and third-class people in the yard are all outstanding, but ......"

She turned to ask Zhan's mother: "Did your eldest man say kissed?" You are much better than me, you are embarrassed in front of the lady and the lady, Tu'er is still serving in the room, this family affair must be satisfactory. ”

Zhan's mother sighed and shook her head: "There is no news, I originally looked at the cuiping in the mansion over there, but it was ......"

Zheng's mother came over: "I'm afraid I'm also picky and reluctant?" ”

Mother Zhan waved her hand and leaned on the table tiredly: "Let's talk about it, eldest sister, you must have something to do when you come to me, otherwise where do you have the leisure to come to talk to me this year." ”

Mother Zheng sneered and leaned closer to her: "Speaking of which, I won't hide it from you, sister, I'm here to ask you for help, and I'm so anxious to ...... it."

Hearing that it was an emergency, Zhan's mother suddenly became vigilant and looked her up and down: "What is it that makes you anxious like this, I can remember that our monthly money has just been sent not long ago, and it is a few hundred dollars." ”

"What's the use of that, I want eight hundred yuan, how can I get enough for only a few hundred dollars!" After she finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and when she saw it, she accidentally said that she had leaked her mouth.

It made Zhan's mother interested and glared at her: "Eight hundred yuan!" What are you doing! What to do with so much money! ”

Mother Zheng shook her head and denied it: "No, I'm just temporarily urgent, you can see if you can borrow me some first." ”

The more she covered it up, the more suspicious Zhan's mother became, and she kept asking, and even said that she wouldn't dare to borrow it if she didn't make it clear.

Finally, Zheng's mother couldn't resist and said, "...... Or for the sake of the second daughter-in-law, I thought that I would let him go to the shop to learn the craft later, and he couldn't still live in the lower room after marrying his daughter-in-law, so he wanted to help him buy a small house in the city. ”

Zhan's mother didn't believe it: "You come to me again, I'm afraid that a house in Jiangning City will not cost thousands of yuan, and your family will live in it, let alone be small, and I am afraid that I can't take it without a house of 2,000 yuan." ”

Zheng's mother didn't hide it at all, and looked around: "I just got a news, there is a three-entry house in Yixingfang that is in a hurry to get rid of it, and the lady said that as long as it is a thousand, I see that the house is excellent, wide and quiet, and there is a small courtyard, if the old and young live in it in the future, there is no more suitable ......"

Zhan's mother widened her eyes, the house with the yard in the third entrance only costs a thousand?! How is this possible?

She paid attention to it, and asked Chunyan to bring the wine and food, but she slowly put Zheng's mother's words on her lips, only to know that the owner of the house was from Huaiyin, who died of illness some time ago, and had no children under her knees.

But it's a lot cheaper, and this money is not something that Zheng's mother can make up, so she can only come to Zhan's mother to borrow it in a hurry, and then go elsewhere to think about ideas to see if she can take such a big bargain.

Zhan's mother thought of her eldest son who hadn't talked about his family affairs yet, and He Gui's second-entry small house in the city, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

She poured a large glass of wine for Zheng's mother: "A thousand yuan, even if it is a big bargain, where can we get so much." ”

Mother Zheng ate a few glasses of wine at this time, seemed to be a little upset, and smiled bitterly: "No, I really can't do it, my relatives have borrowed all the ideas, or I still look at me serving in the house, but I only made up a hundred yuan, and I don't know where to think of it." ”

"It's still the old sister, you are decent, and you are in charge of the many dowries of the lady, which is 100,000 yuan, but if you drop a scum, it is enough to buy this house." Zheng's mother is really too much, and after saying these words in a daze, she lay on the table and made no sound.

Zhan's mother was stunned for a long time before she called Chunyan to come in and clean up, and asked people to send Zheng's mother back.

Early the next morning, Zhan's mother went to the main room and called Xiao Rongyue back.

“…… Madame also said that it was good, and went to Luokang Fang early this morning. She was absent-minded, finished this in a few words, and said: "The slave came back yesterday and ate more bowls of ice bowls, some of which are not very useful, and I want to go to Qianjinfang to grab some medicine today." ”

Xiao Rongyue showed concern: "Mom, don't worry, or someone will invite Lang Zhong to come over to treat you." ”

Zhan's mother shook her head again and again: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, just go over by yourself, and the lady doesn't have to worry about it." ”

She insisted on going by herself, so Xiao Rongyue didn't stop her, so Sanqi gave her another hundred yuan as a consultation fee and let her go.

Out of the corner gate of Dufu, Zhan's mother hurriedly walked to the entrance of the alley and stopped a big car: "Go to Yixingfang." ”
