Chapter 19:-for-tat

Hongyu led the person over, opened the bamboo curtain, Mo Li turned his head, and saw that the woman who came in was wearing a parrot green silk robe with flowers all over the place, a blue and gold horse-faced skirt with a chrysanthemum pattern tied around her waist, and a white silk fan with mandarin ducks playing in the water in her hand.

"Oh, so the big girl is too." After Grandma Lin came in with a spring face, she didn't think that Mo Li was also in the house, but she was startled, and then coughed and laughed dryly, "The weather is very stuffy today, why don't the big girls go back to take a nap, so that you don't have energy in the afternoon." ”

"On such a hot day, the wind is blowing you." Mo Li got up and gave a slight salute, smiled, and asked Hongyu to make tea.

Grandma Lin couldn't help coughing again, then walked to Zhu's side and sat down with a fan and said, "The eldest girl is getting better and better at talking now. ”

Zhu glanced at Grandma Lin and smiled politely: "You came here today, but what's the matter?" ”

"Look at what you said, it's okay and I can't come here yet." Grandma Lin chuckled, took the tea handed by Hongyu, and glanced at Mo Li again, "Big girl, let's go and rest first, let the two women say something considerate." ”

Thoughtful words? Mo Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly mockingly, and then glanced at the Zhu family. Zhu's heart tightened, and he probably guessed what Grandma Lin came here for, so he said to Mo Li: "You go back and rest, my mother will talk to Grandma Lin." ”

Mo Li glanced at Grandma Lin, nodded, and turned around and went out. It's just that she didn't go back, but sat in the outhouse, Hongyu was slightly stunned, she only signaled Hongyu not to make a sound, and went outside to wait.

"Today's innocence is really boring, but the Mo family's sister-in-law's complexion looks good today." After Mo Li went out, Grandma Lin took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and then pretended to be close to make an opening statement.

Zhu pursed his lips and was silent for a while before he spoke: "You also came here today for the Yang family's affairs?" ”

Grandma Lin glanced at Zhu's slightly pale face, gently put down the teacup and sighed: "I heard that the business of Shopkeeper Mo is not very good now, my sister-in-law told me yesterday that she knows a big businessman in Dingzhou, and it just so happened that the businessman came to Yongzhou to buy a large number of fabrics during this time. If my sister-in-law asks for a sentence in front of the businessman, the goods in the shopkeeper may be able to enter the eyes of others, and as for the price, it will not be low. When Grandma Lin said this, she smiled, "Sister-in-law of the Mo family, this is a great thing, there will be no such shop in this village after that." ”

Zhu lowered his eyes and didn't speak, the room was very quiet, and he only heard the screams of the people outside, which made people feel so bored.

Grandma Lin took another sip of tea, then coughed, and took out a small brocade bag from her sleeve and put it in front of Zhu.

Zhu was slightly stunned and glanced at Grandma Lin in confusion. Grandma Lin smiled, stretched out her hand to borrow the brocade bag, and saw that there were two golden ingots inside, each of which looked ten taels heavy!

"What is this?" Zhu Shi was surprised, and then his face became more and more bad.

"My sister-in-law said that she did inherit your family's kindness back then, and she has always been grateful in her heart, so now this is doubly returned." As she spoke, Grandma Lin pushed the two gold ingots in front of the Zhu family, and persuaded in a low voice, "Put it away quickly, this is a full amount of gold, I weighed it before, and none of them are ten or two, and they will not be reduced." ”

Zhu's hand under the kang table couldn't stop trembling, and after a long time, she raised her hand, returned the two gold ingots, and said with a reluctant smile: "Take it back, the old lady helped back then, and it wasn't for these things, if I accepted it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the old lady." As for the things in the shop, my lord thinks that I am a woman, and I can't manage it anyway. ”

"Indeed, the old lady of the Mo family spent that little bit of silver back then, naturally not for the gold now." Grandma Lin shook her fan, glanced at Zhu's pale face and smiled, "It's just that I said that the Mo family's sister-in-law, this person really can't be too greedy." It's just a matter of throwing a few pieces of silver and giving a little favor, so why do you have to coerce me to report it. Speaking of which, seeing that Zhu's face changed suddenly, Grandma Lin hurriedly waved her fan and continued, "Yes, yes, people, who is not selfish, don't worry, in fact, I understand." It's just that, no matter what, you can't just ask someone else's son to pay for it with that little bit of money back then. To be a human being, you have to have a conscience, and even if you don't have a conscience, you have to be a little ashamed. My nephew is good, I know it in my heart, and I can see it with my eyes, he, every time I go out with my sister-in-law, there is no girl in the family who doesn't think about it, hehe......"

"Enough, you, you-" Zhu Shi trembled his lips, his face turned blue and white for a while, and his chest rose and fell violently as he looked at Grandma Lin, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a while.

"Alas, why is the sister-in-law of the Mo family so angry, I am telling the truth, come on, come on, drink tea smoothly." The smile in Grandma Lin's eyes did not decrease slightly, "Loyalty is always against the ear, think about it, what I just said is not in charge." This marriage has always been about the right family, you love me, so that we can get a match made in heaven and be happy. I didn't see any of the twisted melons that were sweet, and if you didn't get it right, it would hurt the roots, it's not worth it, and then you will regret it, but it's really too late, the Mo family's sister-in-law is a smart person, can she still figure this out? Besides, you are stubborn on your side, and in the end it is your own daughter who is really wronged. Let's take 10,000 steps back and say, being a man can be coerced to repay kindness, but no matter what, you can't sell women for glory. ”

"You-" Zhu's face was completely bloodless.

Grandma Lin still smiled, and pushed the two gold ingots on the kang table over: "It's just a marriage book, and if you come back, you can not only get these things, but also make the business of the shopkeeper Mo better." When the time comes, it will not be difficult to find another one for your daughter, why be so stubborn, take it! This is good for both families, don't end up making your own house unsightly, and in the end you can't get anything, Mo Shopkeeper is a businessman, and he can't do loss-making business. ”

"It turns out that Grandma Lin came here today to teach my mother to do business, which is really rare." Zhu was trembling his lips, and when he didn't know how to scold, Mo Li suddenly opened the bamboo curtain and walked in with a smile.

Grandma Lin was stunned, she didn't know if Mo Li was returning again, or if she had been listening outside just now, and was about to open her mouth. Mo Li stepped forward with a smile, glanced at the two gold ingots resting on the kang table, reached out and picked one up, and said with a smile: "These two together can be worth almost two hundred taels of silver. It's just that the promise of the Yang family is worth two hundred taels of silver, and it turns out that in the eyes of the Yang family, this matchmaker is actually a saying of selling children and daughters. I really don't know if after these words are spread, it will make the world's media contract become a big deal, so Lord Yang should have done a great good thing for the world, and the evaluation will definitely go to a higher level in three years, I will first congratulate the Yang family on their ascension! ”

"Yo, yo......" Grandma Lin was speechless for a while, with a stiff smile on her face, and only after a while did she barely spit out a sentence, "This big girl, really, really unforgiving, how can she talk like this, what is the argument about the two, it's also ugly!" ”

"How can it be compared to Grandma Lin's clever mouth." Mo Li smiled faintly, and threw back the gold ingots in his hand, "It's not too early, my mother should take a nap, Grandma Lin must be sleepy, the weather is stuffy, and I like to be lazy when I sit so much, so it's better to go back and have a good rest." ”
