Chapter 105: Two hundred taels
This Lord Yin is not smiling, but he claims to be Chen Wei's best friend, helping the Chen family, which is already amazing, and this King Wu Rong is a real royal nobleman, and other idlers can't get into his eyes at all, even the Lord Anshi of the year can't get the appreciation of King Wu Rong, but this King Wu Rong has intersected with the Chen family several times, which is really confusing. [No pop-ups. 】
In such a situation, Ye Tan's attitude towards the Chen family had to change, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no excuse, he would have come to visit him a long time ago. In addition, Ye Wanrong's congratulatory gift is really impossible to fault, so she is naturally kind to Ye Wanrong.
"Old man, Mrs. Chen is here," the little maid ran in. Ye Tan's eyes lit up, "Don't please, please" Ye Wanrong was even more joyful, and greeted him in person. This mother-in-law came to congratulate her birthday in person, which is really a matter of giving herself a long face
"Mother-in-law, you're here, I'm afraid you won't come" said this sincerely, and it was rare to say the taste of coquettishness. Chen Qiaoqiao held Ye Wanrong's hand affectionately, "Oh, why did you come out, you are still so frizzy, you can be careful, what you have in your stomach is my little golden grandson."
This Ye Wanrong is intimate, she is also impatient, you do the first year of junior high school, she does the fifteenth "Grandmother, you are here, Zhen'er misses you" In a crowd, the chubby Chen Zhen is still so conspicuous.
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, this kid, how much she loves him in vain, "Grandmother Zhen'er misses you very much, if you are not there for a day, grandmother can't eat and sleep" Chen Qiaoqiao said miserably.
Chen Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Grandmother, you can't do without Zhen'er so much, what can you do Grandmother, don't worry, Zhen'er will never go out again" Everyone couldn't help laughing, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but squeak, "Okay, you accompany Grandmother every day"
Ye Tan also walked out, seeing that the Chen family and his daughter were so close, he was also extremely happy in his heart, "Mrs. Chen is here, it's really a distinguished guest who can't be invited."
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "Don't blame me for being greedy, I just want to ask for a cup of longevity wine" while looking at Ye Tan carefully. I saw that his face was white and his slender phoenix eyes were shining, and his body was a little bloated, and he was quite rich. There was a quiet woman standing next to her, her usual decoration, her usual appearance, there was nothing outstanding, and she knew that this was Ye Wanrong's mother.
"Mrs. In-laws have always been good" Chen Qiaoqiao asked with a smile, this Mrs. Ye is not very good at words, "It's all good, it's all good" There is nothing else to say.
Ye Tan also looked at Chen Qiaoqiao, he had seen this Chen, with a gentle appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but at this time, she was as delicate and flamboyant as a rose. That vibrant appearance overshadowed everyone.
Yangzi also walked in, Ye Wanrong looked at the red cloth and seemed to be a little familiar, and couldn't help but be surprised, it seemed to be something in her room, and then looked at the wrapped thing, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition that it was the white jade Guanyin
Chen Qiaoqiao has already solved her question, "My lord, I don't have anything to give, I see that this white jade Guanyin at home is of the highest quality, so I sent it over, I wish you every year today, every year there is today."
Saying that, Yangzi had already lifted the red cloth, and the smooth and warm white jade Guanyin was presented, and the onlookers suddenly exclaimed, and the envy was very obvious, but Ye Wanrong's face was pale, and her mother-in-law actually brought the white jade Guanyin in her room
"Mrs. Chen, you are so polite, you can come, you give me the greatest face, how can I accept such a heavy gift" Ye Tan was also very excited, this white jade Guanyin, as long as you look at it, you know that it is extraordinary, and it must be worth a lot.
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, took Ye Wanrong's hand and said: "Wanrong is a good daughter-in-law, not only gave birth to the eldest grandson for our Chen family, so that I don't have to worry about the heirs of the Chen family, now there is another one in this belly, this is the biggest credit, all the major things for the Chen family have been done, I am extremely satisfied with the in-laws who gave me such a good daughter-in-law, what is this little white jade Guanyin, how can I be reluctant to say that you are not Ah Wanrong"
Although Ye Wanrong's flesh hurts, after all, her mother-in-law gave it to her father, and she can't say anything, so she forced a smile, "Since it was sent by her mother-in-law sincerely, you can accept it, father."
Ye Tan's eyes were full of joy, he was just pretending to excuse himself, such a good thing, he didn't seem to have it at home, how could he be willing not to "then be disrespectful"
Chen Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, but did not speak. This white jade Guanyin is also worth a lot of money, and he uses it as a congratulatory gift, even if he wants to return the two hundred taels of silver after a while, Ye Tan will not feel too much loss
If it weren't for Chen Qiaoqiao's feeling that she had to warn Ye Wanrong a little, don't sneak up on this kind of thing behind her back, she would not be willing to do that white jade Guanyin.
After everyone greeted each other, they all entered the table, only to see that the Ye family's banquet was also very shabby, not to mention the simple dishes, even the plates containing the dishes were smaller than those of other people's, and the wine was basically tasteless.
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile dumbly, it seems that this Ye Wanrong has completely obtained his father's true inheritance
Seeing that everyone was busy eating, Chen Qiaoqiao stood up and said to Ye Tan with a smile, "My lord, I have something to discuss with you, I don't know if I can borrow a step to speak."
Ye Tan was a little surprised, but it was hard to refuse, "In that case, Mrs. Chen, there is love in the study."
Although others were a little surprised, they had nothing to do with themselves, only Ye Wanrong was a little worried, she knew best how good her mother-in-law would be. But Chen Qiaoqiao and Ye Tan had already walked into the study, and she had to guess with anxiety. "What's the matter with Mrs. Chen" walked into the study, Ye Tan got straight to the point, after all, it was a man and a woman who could not kiss, and he wanted to finish quickly.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong, it's just that I've been sorting out my late husband's relics and found some things, I'm very embarrassed," Chen Qiaoqiao looked harmless but a little innocent, and took out the IOU, "I don't know if it's true, I didn't want to give it to my in-laws, but this matter has always been pressed in my heart, and it's not a matter so I took it to my in-laws to see, is it true." ”
Ye Tan didn't need to look at it, his face was already iron-blue, the IOU was his own name, he didn't recognize that he spent a lot of silver in order to move around the officialdom, so he asked Chen Wei to borrow two hundred taels of silver, which was just a trivial matter for Chen Wei, who was the commander of the palace at the time, and he never came to ask for it, and he kept procrastinating until Chen Wei was gone, and this matter was slowly forgotten by him, if Chen Qiaoqiao didn't mention it, he forgot that there was another thing
Chen Qiaoqiao saw that his face was not good, and she was even more contemptuous, but she made a panicked look, "Master of the in-laws, don't be careful, I don't mean to collect debts, it's just that my husband didn't mention this matter, I didn't know at all, but I found such an IOU, but I just want to verify it, if it's fake, I'll tear it up, and I won't hurt the reputation of my in-laws."
Ye Tan was just silent, and Chen Qiaoqiao made an unassertive appearance again, "Master of the family, why don't you speak, are you blaming me for being abrupt Oh, I'm just a person who has no idea, I knew it first, and then I might as well call Wanrong in now."
Ye Tan's face became more and more ugly, he was ashamed to talk about this matter himself, let alone let Ye Wanrong know If Ye Wanrong and Chen Zhongkang knew that they were in such a difficult time in their family, and they still didn't pay back such silver, they didn't know what they would think
"No need Mrs. Chen, I just can't remember it for a while, many years ago, I seemed to ask Chen Weixin to borrow a sum of silver, but then I was busy, and because there wasn't much, I forgot about it, I was really a little embarrassed" Ye Tan was a little ashamed, more annoyed. The anger in his eyes could not be concealed.
Chen Qiaoqiao didn't see it, and continued to make an embarrassed look, "So that's the case, my lord, don't take it to heart, I just looked at it, so I came to ask, I really don't mean to ask for debts" Chen Qiaoqiao decided to pretend to be innocent to the end, isn't there a trick called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, she might as well give it a try, to be honest, although the noisy method of dealing with the Hu family works, it actually takes a lot of energy, and quarreling is a very tiring thing
"Mrs. Chen, since this matter has been discussed, don't worry, I will definitely prepare this silver as soon as possible, and if I have it, I will definitely send it to Chen's Mansion in person" Ye Tan was a little unsure of this Chen Qiaoqiao, looking at her appearance, she was already crying, blaming herself, and seemed to be very annoyed that she had brought up this matter.
Chen Qiaoqiao sneered in her heart, she wanted to drag it out and not give it, do your spring and autumn dreams, if she doesn't return the silver today, she won't leave
Chen Qiaoqiao hurriedly waved her hand, "No need, no need to say that I am not here to collect debts, you and I are in-laws, there is no need to be so angry, besides, this IOU is in my hand, I will still be afraid that my in-laws will not recognize it, and my in-laws themselves are all from the government, so they naturally understand the stakes in it" said, folded the IOU neatly, and carefully put it into his cuffs.
"Besides, this silver is not very urgent, although this Wanrong is going to be born, there is really a lot of silver to be used at home, by the way, why didn't I think of it, it is better to give this IOU to Wanrong, if the in-laws are loose at hand, just give Wanrong directly" Chen Qiaoqiao made a sudden realization, glad that she had such a good idea.
Ye Tan's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't imagine how difficult this Chen family looked at her, and he didn't know if he really didn't understand or pretended to come out, but in any case, Ye Tan didn't want Wanrong and his wife to know about this matter, unless he didn't want this daughter and son-in-law.
