200. Provocation
Li nodded, his tone a little unbearable, "This time in previous years should have been sent a long time ago!" ”
"In previous years, the seven girls haven't been in time yet!" In Wang's words, "Do you think that the Qi family has never thought about this marriage contract in private?" I'm afraid that there are more comparisons than you compare! If the first emperor was still alive, when the nine girls were blind, the Qi family was afraid that they would take the opportunity to ask the first emperor to take back the marriage, but the first emperor went early, and the Qi family could no longer push it off, the Qi family was unwilling, and this year the seven girls were in time again, how could the Qi family dare to act rashly at this time! ”
"Then according to my mother's wishes, how should we deal with it?" Although the Li family also knew the Qi family's resistance to this family affair deep down, they were self-deceptive and unwilling to admit it, and at this moment, they were a little uncomfortable on their faces when they were told by the Wang family!
"What else?" Wang sighed, "Although we are women, we should have the reserve of women, but at this time, we can't take care of any reserved face, since there is no movement on the side of the Rongguo Mansion, our family will give a gift to explore the road first!" ”
"This ......" hesitated for a moment, Li couldn't think of a better idea after all, so he had to listen to Wang's arrangement, "Daughter-in-law will go back and draw up a gift list for her mother to see!" ”
Wang nodded, "Go ahead!" By the way, when I was a child, Sister Shu entered the palace and asked her to help carry some things in! ”
Li hesitated slightly, "What does Mother want to bring in?" The inventory at the gate of the palace is rigorous, and many things are not allowed to be brought into the palace! ”
Wang glared at Li, "I naturally know this!" I just want Sister Shu to bring some money to my niece and granddaughter, and her mother entrusted it to me! Alas...... My niece and daughter-in-law are also grandmothers, but they are still worried about their children! ”
When Wang's niece and granddaughter participated in the draft, she unfortunately failed, but was left in the palace as a female official, if she did not meet the amnesty, she had to wait until she reached the age of twenty-five before she could leave the palace.
Wang took a stack of silver tickets wrapped in Jinpa to Su Ping, "Sister Shu is afraid of the cold, so you don't need to call her over, I'll let Su Ping accompany her!" ”
Li squinted at the silver ticket in Su Ping's hand, and secretly said that the old lady still couldn't believe herself, and was afraid that she would swallow part of the silver ticket when it changed hands, so she let Su Ping send it over, and she was afraid that Sister Shu would not be happy, so she pulled herself up.
"Then there's Miss Lao Suping!" Li retracted his gaze, "There are still a lot of things in the daughter-in-law's yard, so I'll go back first!" ”
Wang waved his hand, Li turned around, Su Ping hurriedly followed, but when he went out, he ran into Mama Zhang, Li was ashamed and turned his face away, since Tong'er died, Li has been avoiding Mama Zhang, avoiding it for half a year, but I didn't expect to meet it.
Mama Zhang's face was as ashen as death, and the muscles on her face trembled the moment she saw Li, and a bright light flashed in her eyes, but it quickly went out, and she stood aside to make way for Li.
Li twisted his face to the other side, hurriedly walked in front of Mama Zhang, looking at the back of Li walking away, Mama Zhang clenched her hands, she hated it! She hated herself for being incompetent, unable to avenge her grandson, and prostrate at the feet of the enemy and groveling, hatred distorted Mama Zhang's face, as long as she thought of her grandson's tragic death, she couldn't suppress the grief in her heart.
"Old Chen's ......," Wang shouted.
Mama Zhang came in with her body bent over, gave a salute to Wang, and when she got up, her body was shaky, and Wang was busy asking people to help her sit down, "The girls were sick with me two days ago, why didn't you lie in the house, what did you come out for?" ”
Mama Zhang rubbed her hands and said nervously, "Tong'er and her mother have been gone for two or three years, and the old slave wants to beg the old lady to find a house for the old slave's son, no matter what kind of person the other party is, as long as he can leave a queen for the Chen family!" ”
Wang readily agreed, "Okay! Your son is an honest and hard-working man, and he is planning to let a batch of girls go out in the spring next year, so take it back when you like it! ”
Mama Zhang waved her hand in a panic, "The old lady casually pointed out that one is a great gift!" The sons of the old slaves are all widowers in their thirties, don't spoil the young girl! ”
"Don't talk about it! That's it! This is what our Xu family owes you! Wang patted Mama Zhang's hand, and the master and servant were relatively speechless for a while.
The Li family, who got Wang's clear instructions, quickly drew up a gift list for the Qi family, and the Wang family was very satisfied with it, so he asked someone to send it to the Qi family the next day.
The next day happened to be the New Year, and when Xu Shu went out, she happened to run into the carriage where Mama Zhang went to Rongguo Mansion to give gifts, and Mama Zhang gave Xu Shu a gift according to the number of gifts.
Listening to the endless stream of servants moving things to the carriage, Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's going to be hard work today!" ”
Mama Zhang frowned and bowed, "Miss Nine is polite, this is the duty of the old slave, not to mention hard work!" Moreover, you can also touch the blessing of Miss Nine, this is a beautiful difference, and others don't want it! ”
"Touch my blessings?" Xu Shu was slightly surprised, "Where did Mama start with this?" ”
Mama Zhang smiled lovingly, "Miss Nine doesn't know yet, right?" Today, the old slave is going to the Rongguo Mansion, and the old lady and the eldest lady have drawn up a gift list personally, and there are many things! In the end, it is different from other people's families! ”
Xu Shu's smile faded a little, "Mama said carefully, which family is the Qi family and the Xu family?" If this word gets out, it will make people laugh out of their big teeth! ”
Mama Zhang was still smiling as always, "Miss Nine, this is embarrassing, right?" A few days ago, the old slave heard the old lady and the eldest lady discuss the marriage between Miss Nine and the fourth prince of Qi, saying that it should be settled earlier! ”
"Really?" Xu Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, there was no shyness and surprise on her face, "It's time to settle down, if you don't settle down, the daylily will be cold!" ”
Xu Shu believed that the Wang family and the Li family would discuss the marriage contract between the Xu family and the Qi family, but the object was never her, and the squeaky gifts of the car were not for her, and Mama Zhang's ability to sow discord was useless for her.
Mama Zhang sent Xu Shu's carriage away with a smile, the smile on her face gradually solidified, and when no one noticed her, she quickly took out something from her arms and put it in one of the boxes, and then put the gift box back as if nothing happened.
Her grandson can't just die like this! The Xu family must pay for the debt with blood!
