Chapter 64: Stealing Chickens and Losing Rice

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's resolute appearance, coupled with the countless pairs of eyes around her, Mama Feng is not good at arguing about anything, so she can only slow down the speed of counting the money in her hand, hoping that Fluttershy will come to the rescue from Ming Ci Tang soon.

And the atmosphere in Mingci Hall at this time is also very depressing.

"Old lady, third lady, lady left the house early in the morning. Now a bunch of mothers-in-law are blocking the main entrance, and Mama Feng said that the old lady needs to preside over the overall situation. Fluttershy shuddered, not daring to look into the old lady's eyes.

Hmph, Mrs. Qi slaps the table hard, and Qi Qin and Fluttershy are terrified together.

Mrs. Qi is angry, things have developed into the current situation, how can she be in charge of the overall situation.

The chickens and dogs in front of the main gate jumped, she naturally wouldn't come forward, and she couldn't afford to lose this person.

Now I can only hurry up and make up the remaining silver taels to Mama Feng and send these mothers-in-law away.

Mrs. Qi walks into the inner room without saying a word, leaving Qi Qin and Fluttershy silent.

Qi Qin didn't expect things to turn out the way they are now.

Qi Qin and Mrs. Qi both came from a hard life, and they knew that these people who made a living by delivering vegetables and meat were the most difficult, after all, it was too difficult to earn money.

I don't know when the eldest brother will come back.

"Don't send someone to find the eldest brother yet." Qi Qin said.

"Sent, sent. The messenger to the lord has already set out. Fluttershy says.

"You send this to Mama Feng." Old Lady Qi said with a displeased face.

Fluttershy looked at it, and it was fifty taels of silver, "Old lady, it's still not enough......"

Fluttershy keeps her voice quiet, for fear of angering Mrs. Qi.

Old Mrs. Qi cupped her forehead and said, "You take it to Mama Feng for emergency first, let her delay for some time, and I will ask Qingting to send it to you later." ”

Qingting is Mrs. Qi's newly promoted maid after Fluttershy, and although she is young, she does things very well.

"Yes." With Mrs. Qi's words, Fluttershy doesn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately dares to go to the main entrance.

"Mother. Don't be angry, the people have already gone to find the eldest brother, and it will be fine when the eldest brother comes back. Qi Qin spoke weakly.

"Confused, now this meeting, when your eldest brother comes back, I'm afraid that the whole Chang'an City will come to see the excitement." Mrs. Qi reprimanded Qi Qin, if she hadn't had to buy any bracelets, things wouldn't have turned out as they are now.

With such a selfish temperament as Mrs. Qi, if nothing happens, and it costs the Jiang family's money, she will naturally be very good to Qi Qin.

Now, when there is a shortage of money in the house, Qi Qin's appearance has put the Qi family in an extremely passive situation, and Mrs. Qi naturally wants to anger Qi Qin.

Hearing Mrs. Qi's reprimand, Qi Qin only felt that her face was hot, and even the bracelet on her hand was a little hot.

"Take off the bracelet from your hand." Old Lady Qi said.

"Mother?" Qi Qin looked at Mrs. Qi suspiciously.

"Take it off." Old Lady Qi scolded.

Qi Qin didn't dare to talk back, so he obediently took the pear blossom primrose bracelet from his hand and asked Qingting to hand it over to Mrs. Qi.

After Qingting presented it, Mrs. Qi didn't look at the bracelet, but said, "You go out quickly, find a pawnshop nearby, and send it to Mama Feng after changing it for silver taels." ”

"May I ask the old lady, how much silver is pawned?" This pawn thing is the most unclear, the shopkeepers of the pawnshop, all of them are Zhou Peel, Qingting is a clever one, and asked out loud.

Now when is the time to care about money, I just hope to solve the urgent need, and Mrs. Qi said without a temper: "More than fifty taels is enough." Go and come back quickly! “

"Yes." Qing Ting took the order and left.

"Mother! The bracelet is not worth fifty taels in any way. Qi Qin said.

"Shut up! In order to repay the three hundred taels, I paid you all the money in my private house. Now it is most important to send these mothers-in-law to maintain the face of Qi Mansion. Gold bracelets are best cashed in, and you must not talk too much. Wait for me. “

Mrs. Qi is now in a private house with a lot of money, and she is distressed, so she naturally has no good temper when she speaks.

Where did Qi Qin dare to talk more, and he didn't dare to speak quietly.

…………

"Mama Feng." Fluttershy arrives at the main entrance, where she sees her mother-in-law leading the silver taels one by one.

Mama Feng looked at the gradually decreasing silver and the mother-in-law who refused to return even after taking the silver, and had a headache.

It's strange, how can these mothers-in-law be so harmonious today.

She also looked forward to the mother-in-law who received the money to leave soon, so that even if the follow-up money was not enough, the pressure would be less.

The money dwindled little by little, and Mama Feng's back felt cold for a while, and then she heard Fluttershy's shout, which was not easy to sound, and the knots and stumbles in the past seemed to be non-existent at this moment.

Mama Feng quietly retreated behind the main entrance and said to Fluttershy, "How's it going, did you bring the money?" ”

Fluttershy quickly took out the silver and said, "Mama Feng, here is fifty taels, the old lady makes people move more slowly, and the last fifty taels will be sent by Qingting." ”

"My ancestors, I'm already very slow, so many pairs of eyes watching, how slow can I go." Mama Feng was in a hurry.

"Mama, don't worry, Qingting will come in a while. I'll go back to my life first. "Fluttershy isn't stupid, it's like a vegetable market at the entrance of this house, and she's a girl who doesn't wade into this troubled water.

After saying that, he ran away without a trace.

"You ......" Mama Feng just now had no good impression of her, and she was also an unreliable girl.

I turned the silver taels in my hand, and I had more silver, and I could hold on for a while.

…………

"Master, I'm looking at you." Ah Yuan said.

"What's going on in front of the house, why are there so many people?" Qi Xuan asked in the sedan chair, he finally got rid of the greetings of his colleagues, and asked Liu from the cuizhu courtyard to take the silver taels and hurried back.

Seeing so many people at the gate of the house, he parked the sedan chair far away, and sent a small servant to call Ah Yuan, who was guarding the door, to ask.

"It's the mothers-in-law who delivered food to the house, and the mothers-in-law who sent the degree, couldn't get money at the side gate, so they made a fuss at the front gate, and now Mama Feng is giving them money." Ah Yuan said.

"What? What do you all eat? Qi Xuan raised his voice angrily, this little thing is known to everyone who made trouble at the main gate.

"Mama Feng has no choice, those mothers-in-law are too fierce to stop, and now there are still fifty taels left, waiting for the old lady to send money." Seeing Qi Xuan's anger, Ah Yuan quietly pulled himself out of this matter.

"Here is a hundred taels, you send it to Mama Feng, quickly settle it, and drive away these mothers-in-law and people watching the excitement!" Qi Xuan said, his voice could no longer suppress his anger.

"Yes." Ah Yuan replied again and again.

"Get out of here!" Qi Xuan's angry voice came from the sedan chair.
