Chapter 216: Pulling the Strings

Chapter 216 Matchmaking

Grandma Chen led Ming Fei out, and said apologetically: "Your grandmother is getting older, and her temper is getting more and more eccentric. If there is anything inappropriate in what you said just now, I hope you will do it for your mother's sake, and don't worry about her. ”

Ming Fei smiled: "Uncle is joking, I'm just afraid that my words will be inappropriate and make my grandmother unhappy." ”

Chen Da * milk pursed her lips and smiled: "No." But he asked Mingfei again: "I remember that you still have a Mingyu, and you are almost twelve years old this year, right?" Can you be married? ”

Ming Fei muttered in her heart, did she want to say goodbye to Mingyu? I hope the other party doesn't open this mouth casually, otherwise he will offend people if he can't say it. smiled and said: "She is still young, and there are five sisters on it." And because my brother is not able to do his best, and he is bent on finding a special one for her, although my mother has been inquiring about her, it is not yet appropriate. ”

"You are too humble, Mingyu girl is good, you should be a very good one." Chen Da*'s grandmother rolled her eyes a few times and said with a smile, "You're going to Cui's house tomorrow, right?" Would you like to join me? ”

Ming Fei hesitated a little: "The Xue family's aunt and a few cousins-in-law are also going." I'm afraid it's ...... "Although the Xue family is a big family, no one is an official, but I am afraid that the Chen family's official family is unwilling to interact with the Xue family, and it is not beautiful to look at each other together."

Chen Da*'s grandmother smiled: "It's the Xue family in the south of the city, right?" I knew his old lady and several young grandmothers well. When we first came here to settle down, we had a lot of care from his family and we got along very well. He also praised Aunt Xue for being a decent person, and several young grandmothers were cheerful people.

Ming Fei breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we'll come over tomorrow to call you?" ”

Chen Da* said: "No need, you see that there is a Wanhualou at the entrance of Cuijia Street, let's meet there." No matter who arrived first, they all drank tea and waited, and they didn't see or leave. ”

After returning from Chen's house, Gong Yuanhe went to Deng's house alone, explaining that he would not come back for dinner.

Ming Fei and Aunt Xue played leaf cards with several cousins-in-law. She was extremely lucky, she lost nine out of ten, but she lost thirty taels of silver in half a day, and when she lost to the back, even Aunt Xue couldn't stand it, and she was afraid that Mingfei would feel uncomfortable losing money, so she smiled and said: "Today I am the east, and those you lose will take money from my money box, and those who win will be put into their own bags." ”

Shi patted Ming Fei and said with a smile: "Ming Fei, whether our money bags are full or deflated today, it's all up to you." You have to keep losing, and if you don't lose, I won't hurt you. ”

Ming Fei hugged her head in frustration and lamented: "Since the second sister-in-law loves me, why don't you let me win some money and take it home?" ”

Zhang squeezed his eyes: "So, your second sister-in-law said that she loves you, and she only spends effort on her mouth, so it's not as good as me, I will make you delicious food every day." Remember to feed me the cards. ”

Xue Yiqing pressed Ming Fei's shoulder, indignant: "They beat you up." Cousin-in-law, I'll transfer it for you. Her luck was really good, and at dinner time, she really pulled back all the losses for Ming Fei. Ming Fei laughed and split up with her.

Aunt Xue looked at the two of her laughing lovingly, and suddenly said to Xue Yiqing: "You like your little cousin so much, why don't you go live with her for a while this time, and how about we pick you up again during the New Year?" ”

Xue Yiqing was a little surprised, and then tilted her head and looked at Ming Fei with a smile: "My little cousin-in-law wants to take care of family affairs, so she doesn't have time to entertain me." She didn't know that it was Ming Fei's idea to let her go to Shuicheng Mansion with her. Ming Fei knew that she was not in good health, so she discussed with Gong Yuanhe and wanted to take her to Shou Zhenzi to see and recuperate. Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue were overjoyed when they learned about it.

Ming Fei smiled: "I am still idle a lot on weekdays, as long as you don't think I'm bored, don't think your cousin talks a lot, I can't wait for you to be my companion." ”

Xue Yiqing has grown so big, because of physical reasons, he has never gone out, and when he heard Ming Fei agree, he jumped around Aunt Xue happily.

Gong Yuanhe didn't go home until the curfew was approaching, Ming Fei thought he was going to Deng's house, but he was afraid that he would get drunk, so he had been tired of preparing a sobering soup for him in the kitchen early, but he didn't know that there was no taste of wine at all, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "I thought you would drink." ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled bitterly: "Brother Deng Guan is not at home, and this wine can't be drunk." ”

Ming Fei saw that his face was not good-looking, so he asked, "What's wrong?" But Shuangfu gave you a look in the face again? ”

Gong Yuanhe said: "It's not. "That's it.

Ming Fei originally wanted to ask him about the Deng family, but seeing that he didn't want to say, he had to make the bed, prepare hot water and say, "Wash and sleep early." ”

Gong Yuan washed the bed with a muffled voice, closed his eyes and thought about his thoughts, turned over and held Ming Fei's hand: "Feifei, if there is a large amount of money and a lot of power in front of you, you felt that you needed it very much, so you promised its master to accept it and make the best use of it." But then you regret it, you don't really need it, and you want to return it to its original owner, so some people look down on you and scold you for being unrighteous, ungrateful, and going back on your word. What will you do? ”

What he said was actually what happened to him, right? And Shuangfu is the one who scolds him and looks down on him. Ming Fei's heart tightened, and she opened her eyes to look at the person in front of her, although she couldn't see Gong Yuanhe's expression clearly in the dark, she just knew that Gong Yuanhe must be looking at her very seriously at this moment. She let out a soft breath, reached out and touched his face, and said in a low voice: "Then, when the original owner gave me that money, there must have been conditions, right?" And that condition is not so easy to do, is it? ”

Gong Yuanhe sighed slightly: "There has never been a cheap pie in the sky." ”

Ming Fei said: "A gentleman has something to do and something not to do." People's hearts change, and the thoughts at the time are sincere, and it is not surprising that there will be other thoughts after the passage of time. Since I don't want to do it, and this reason is valid, and I haven't done anything to be sorry for the other party, I think that there is no such thing as ingratitude. Cooperation can only achieve the desired results, and if the heart is unwilling to continue to reluctantly, it is irresponsible to both parties. The person who gave me the money and made the deal with me should understand this if he was really smart. If the business fails, benevolence and righteousness are still there, why bother to fall out, it will not benefit either party. ”

Gong Yuanhe said in a low voice: "It's too difficult to be a man. Although the truth is understood, when it really falls on your head, it will not be so free. ”

Ming Fei said tentatively: "What you said, is it the Deng family's business?" Is Brother Deng the one who gave you the money? What does he want you to do? I don't look at him like he's mad at you. "Or, are you still trying to win over?

Gong Yuanhe smiled silently and touched her head: "No, no, I guessed wrong, but today I heard them talk about one thing and one old person, and I felt it." Go to sleep. ”

Ming Fei hugged his neck and whispered, "But I'll worry about you." I've always thought that he helped send my mother to Dengzhou, and that kind of thing happened again...... Will it make you owe them a favor again? Are you embarrassed? ”

Gong Yuanhe hugged her tightly and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it, I'm not embarrassed at all." I had another explanation for that matter, and he didn't suffer. Ming Fei is right, people's hearts will change, once he thought that he needed those most, but now he feels that what he needs most is someone else.

Ming Fei found a comfortable position in his arms, yawned lightly and said: "I have always wanted to tell you, as long as the money is enough, the house is enough to live, it doesn't matter if the official is big, safety and health are the most important." ”

Gong Yuanhe pressed his chin against the top of her head, patted her vest, and made a "hmm", as if he was asleep. Ming Fei leaned comfortably into his arms, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing Ming Fei's light and rhythmic breathing coming from his side, Gong Yuanhe opened his eyes, and he carefully touched ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
