Chapter 213: Something Else
Su Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, her face twitched unnaturally twice, but soon she adjusted her mood and frowned suspiciously, "Mother, I am your biological daughter, you don't doubt Su Xiaoman, but you come to doubt my intentions?" Even if I can help you get the title deed, what good will it do me? β
"I'm just a daughter like you, if I have the deed of the house, then you ......" For a while, Zhang Xiuqin didn't know how to continue.
On the contrary, it was her appearance that provoked Su Xiaoling to act more realistically, she pretended to be annoyed, "Mother, if you don't want me to help you, just say it, don't say such things to chill me!" β
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuqin hurriedly waved her hand, "I made your father angry, Xiaoling, my mother didn't suspect you, just asked casually, don't think about it." βγ
"Yes." Su Xiaoling was very unhappy in her heart, even though she had some ideas in her heart, she never wanted to use her mother, but Zhang Xiuqin said so, she couldn't shake her face, so she could only respond sullenly.
At this time, Xiaoling is no longer the little girl who obeyed Zhang Xiuqin in the past, she got married and became the shopkeeper, running such a big business, she grew very fast.
Whether it is in terms of life or speaking, he is more than one degree higher than Zhang Xiuqin.
What's more, she really wanted to use the deed of the house. So Xiaoling just responded in a low voice, she didn't lose her temper and didn't shake her face, which was enough to give Zhang Xiuqin face.
Therefore, Zhang Xiuqin became more and more guilty, took her hand and said: "Xiaoling, my mother blamed you just now, don't be cruel to me, I just said it casually, and I definitely didn't doubt you." β
"Got it, mother." Xiao Ling sighed, "It's time for the store to be busy, I'll go and help first, and you can come after a while." β
"Hey, I'll be over in a moment!" Seeing that Xiaoling didn't mention this matter anymore, Zhang Xiuqin couldn't help but secretly sigh and respond happily.
Su Qi is suspicious of her right now, and she is such a trustworthy person as Su Xiaoling, if she loses her support again, let alone get the deed, she can't say whether she can live in that big mansion.
When Su Xiaoling returned to the store, there was always a big stone falling in her heart, and she was sullen and out of breath.
She had always wanted to expand the store, or simply open a semicolon, but now she had just bought a house, and it was not yet decorated, so she didn't have much extra money in her hand. After Xiaoman and his family came, Xiaoling was so good to them, and she also wanted to borrow some money.
But since she learned that Xiaoman was going to buy a house for her father, this Xiaoling's mind hit the deed.
She didn't have the audacity to sell the house, but wanted to use the deed as collateral to borrow some money from the money bank in the city, so that she could open another branch, so that she would have more money and avoid her own men running around all the year round.
was questioned by Zhang Xiuqin, Xiaoling was in a mess and didn't know what to do next.
In fact, this can't be regarded as having other plans at all, after all, she really wants to help her mother get the deed, and she doesn't want to steal the deed, she just uses it. The shop she is opening now is so profitable, even if the interest from the money bank is so high, she will pay it back quickly, and it will not have any impact on the house.
When the time comes, if you open a branch by yourself, your father and mother will be able to live better, and she is all for them, Su Xiaoling comforted herself.
It's just that Su Qi now knows what their mother and daughter think, and he must not want Su Xiaoman to buy a house even more.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoling sighed again, holding her chin with one hand in a daze, she had to think of a way to persuade Xiaoman, so that she had to buy a house for her father, whether she accepted it or not was her father's business, but this house had to be bought by her!
"Xiaoling."
It's Xiaoman's voice!
She hurriedly turned around and squeezed out a casual smile, "Sister Xiaoman, why are you here?" Are you hungry, orβ"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Man interrupted and asked, "Do you have a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here?" Lu Li wants to write a letter, but we can't turn over your things, so we can only ask you. β
"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone?" Xiao Ling frowned puzzled, "Who are you going to write to?" Is it someone from Shangjing? β
Are they going to leave now? But no! I haven't started my plan yet!
Xiao Man didn't know Xiao Ling's thoughts, so he said directly: "It's about Yamen County, Lu Li wants to let the nearby prefect come to discuss the disposal of County Cheng." β
As she spoke, she approached Xiaoling and lowered her voice: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, the province will spread it to the county." β
Xiao Ling nodded hurriedly, "Got it, I'll find a pen and ink right away." β
Great, as long as they are still living here, then sooner or later she will find a chance to persuade Xiaoman to buy the house.
Finding out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and handing them to Xiao Man, Xiao Ling pulled her hair and said with a smile: "Sister, wait a minute, I'll discuss something with you." β
Xiao Man was slightly surprised, she had never heard the word "consultation" in Xiao Ling's mouth, it seems that the business has really grown, and her mind has grown a lot, much better than before.
Therefore, she also raised a smile and said briskly: "Okay, then I'll come to you later." β
Since she came back, Xiaoling has been polite, but not too much, this degree is very appropriate, so Xiaoman did not have the slightest suspicion, but was very pleased.
Returning to the back with his things, Xiao Man spread out the paper, and then asked while grinding the ink: "Lu Li, what are you going to do with this county?" β
He came back to visit his relatives, not a private visit, and it stands to reason that he can't control what the county becomes. Even if he can't look at the behavior of the county, he can report to the emperor after returning to Beijing and let him deal with it.
If it weren't for the absurdity of the county's behavior this time, Lu Li wouldn't have wanted to make such a big move.
"Let's talk about this matter when the prefect comes." Lu Li smoothed the pen, paused for a moment, and said: "I don't understand these things, and dealing with them in vain will only cause the emperor's dissatisfaction." β
Xiao Man nodded as if he didn't understand, but soon frowned and asked, "But didn't the emperor crown Wangshu as the prince?" It's enough to see how reassuring he is about you. β
Lu Li sighed, "Who can guess the mind of the Son of Heaven." β
After speaking, Lu Li dipped the brush in ink, thought for a while, and then put down the pen, first greetings, then explained the facts, and finally asked the prefect to come to Taoyuan County for a trip.
Lu Li's words are strong and powerful, the iron painting silver hook, and the dragon and phoenix dance between the writings, which are quite smooth. Xiao Man couldn't help but see that he was stupid when he was grinding ink on the side, his eyes were just staring at the constantly moving tip of the pen, and he forgot to move in his hand.
It wasn't until Lu Li found that the ink in the inkstone was not enough, that he suddenly realized that Xiao Man was staring at the words on the letter paper in a daze.
He couldn't help but smile faintly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiao Man's eyes, and called softly: "Xiao Man? β
"Huh?!" Xiao Man blinked his eyes and suddenly came back to his senses.
The smile at the corners of Lu Li's eyebrows couldn't be hidden, he reached out and covered Xiao Man's hand that was grinding ink, and took the other party around, "Grind the ink first, and watch me write later, huh?" β
With a sudden, Xiao Man's cheeks immediately flushed.
She lowered her head shyly, and didn't dare to stop grinding ink for a while, but the panic in her heart calmed down for a long time.
Seeing this, the smile on the corner of the man's mouth was even worse, and after admiring the red-faced Xiao Man for a while, he remembered the matter, re-dipped the brush in ink, and continued to write the letter to the prefect.
Xiao Man easily calmed down the heat of his cheeks, and Lu Li also wrote a letter over there, he folded the letter paper and put it in an envelope, and sealed it carefully.
"Okay, I'll wait for a trip to the post station, and someone will bring this letter to the prefect, do you want to go with me?" Lu Li got up and asked sideways.
Xiao Man shook his head, "Xiao Ling said that she had something to discuss with me, and since you have written the letter, then I will go to the front to find her." β
Lu Li couldn't help frowning, then looked at the door, "Su Xiaoling?" What can she talk to you about... Is it the two hundred taels of silver? β
"Who knows." Xiaoman didn't take this seriously, she put away the pen and ink and other objects, and urged: "You go early and come back early, don't miss lunch later." β
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Sending Lu Li away, he returned all the things to the cabinet of the store in front of him, and it happened that the store was not very busy, so Xiao Ling walked out directly with Xiao Man.
Xiao Man neatly cuffed, lowered his eyes and asked casually; "What are you going to talk to me about? Now let's talk about it. β
Xiao Ling was hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
She raised her head, frowned a little puzzled, and said, "Now there is no one around, only you and me, we are all a family, what else is not good to say, just say it." β
Seeing that Xiao Ling didn't know how to speak, she secretly speculated: Is it really as Lu Li said, about two hundred taels of silver? It's been two days since she came back, but she has never urged Xiaoling to do this, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't be so embarrassed.
Just when Xiao Man was puzzled, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, her heart was crossed, and she finally decided to speak.
She let out a long sigh, avoided Xiaoman's gaze, and whispered, "Sister, in fact, I want to discuss with you about buying a house for my father." β
Xiao Man twisted his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Ling, and waited for her next step.
"The store is too busy, my mother has to come to me often to help, my father is old, and I don't feel at ease when I am alone in Bishui Village." Xiao Ling raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Man's expression, and when she was sure that the other party was not angry, she continued: "So you proposed to buy a house for my father before, I am very happy, if it weren't for the fact that the income of this store is not under my control, I also want to make a contribution, so that my father and mother can move to Taoyuan County as soon as possible." β
As she spoke, Su Xiaoling squeezed out a few tears, lowered her head and sobbed: "Now my father suspects that my mother has other intentions, and refuses to let you buy a house, and even wants to divorce my mother ......."
She pretended to be very similar, and even her shoulders were trembling slightly, and even Xiaoman was deceived.
