Chapter 259: Placing Qi (2)
When it comes to the relationship between Shen Yuechen and Brother Ming, it is really closer than their own life, which makes people jealous and sigh. Come to think of it, even if the Qin family is still alive, they may not be so close to Brother Ming.
Li Shi listened to what Mrs. Shen said, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she deliberately lowered her eyes not to look at her, only to feel that this old fox was very difficult, and it always seemed that there was a cat hidden in and out of the words......
Old Mrs. Shen deliberately stayed away from Shen Yuechen for three sentences, in order to remind her of the importance of Shen Yuechen to the Zhu family, so that she would not have to make any more inches, and secretly hold some bad water in her stomach.
Li's eyes slowly wandered over the tea bowl and handkerchief, and he was very annoyed, but he didn't know how to give an eviction order to Mrs. Shen.
In fact, she tried her best to behave better, do her best to show her hospitality as a landlord, but every time she greeted Mrs. Shen, she would feel uncomfortable.
Before, the unhappiness caused by the two of them for Shen Yuechen is still vivid, and if they are too familiar and enthusiastic, it will inevitably appear fake.
Suddenly, while the maids came in to change tea, Grandma Sun quietly came to Li's side and whispered a few words.
Li Shi's face changed after hearing this, and then he got up and looked at Mrs. Shen and said with a smile: "Old lady, I suddenly have something to deal with temporarily, I'm afraid I can't accompany your old man anymore." ”
When Old Lady Shen heard this, she also got up and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I won't bother much." I haven't spent enough time with the kids, but it's the same when I come back tomorrow. ”
When Li Shi heard this, the smile on her face froze, but she didn't expect her to answer like this.
In order to show respect, Li personally sent Mrs. Shen out, and Mrs. Shen smiled faintly at her, and the two of them looked kind.
Mrs. Shen walked out slowly, and saw two maids leading a middle-aged woman with bright clothes and heavy makeup into the door. Moreover, the woman looked very familiar, and she couldn't help but pause her feet, and immediately thought about it, and suddenly remembered who she was.
However, before she could speak, the mother-in-law had already stepped forward with a smile on her face, with a flattering look, and said blessedly: "Old Madam Shen, how are you old man?" It's been a while since we've seen each other? ”
Old Lady Shen frowned slightly unconsciously, the smell of fat powder on her body was too strong, which was unpleasant.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Qian, why did you come here?" Old Lady Shen looked at the woman and asked.
This person's surname is Qian, although he is not good-looking, he has a clever mouth and is very eloquent. She often wanders in the streets and alleys, specializing in pro-insurance media for all kinds of people, known as "money matchmaker", and is also called "money string" because of her greed for money and love of money.
That Mrs. Qian has a good memory, and she never forgets the people she has met, especially those who are rich and powerful.
She had only met Old Lady Shen once before, and she remembered it firmly.
She took a step forward, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you know my reputation, and I came here today to naturally be a matchmaker for the Zhu family." ”
Old Mrs. Shen had no intention of greeting her, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but be suspicious in her heart, and said, "Who are you going to be a matchmaker for Zhu's house?" ”
The Zhu family is rich and powerful, and they never need someone like Mrs. Qian to protect the media and pull the fiber.
Mrs. Qian smiled trickily, and said mysteriously: "Naturally, it is the niece of the eldest lady, the famous little beauty." ”
Old Mrs. Shen was slightly stunned, and the name Tong Chuchu suddenly surged out of her mind.
Things don't seem quite right......
Old Lady Shen turned around slowly and glanced at Li Shi who was at the door, only to feel that her face was not very good-looking.
At this time, the maids next to them saw that Mrs. Qian had so many words, and they couldn't help coughing lightly and urged: "The eldest lady is still waiting." ”
Mrs. Qian didn't say much, just twisted her body and continued to walk forward step by step.
Li Shi turned around and went back to the house, and whispered to Grandma Sun: "Why is she in such a hurry? ”
Not sooner or later, I just met Mrs. Shen......
Grandma Sun was also embarrassed, and replied: "The slave doesn't know that this Qian woman is so deep or shallow, and she doesn't understand the rules at all." ”
Li Shi sat back in the chair and watched the maids lead the money matchmaker into the door, and as soon as she came in, she began to look around, looking at the furnishings in the room, and sighed.
A rich man is a rich man, look at this grandeur, it really can't be compared with others.
Mrs. Qian was a little dazzled for a while, and when she saw that Li Shi was frowning and looking at herself, she hurriedly took two steps forward and saluted, "Hello Mrs. Zhu." ”
Her rat eyes looked at Li Shi's body, with a little envy, which made Li Shi feel very uncomfortable.
She would have disdained to meet someone like her in normal times, but this was an exception, because she had a reason to see him.
Li Shi raised his hand and motioned for her to get up and speak, without even giving up his seat.
Mrs. Qian was not polite, she sat down as soon as she sat down, picked up the tea bowl at hand and drank it, no matter who left it.
"It's getting hotter and hotter every day, and after only a few steps, I'm so hot that I'm covered in sweat."
As she spoke, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the tip of her nose, which wiped off a piece of fat powder, making her nose and face look a little funny.
Seeing this, Li Shi's brows furrowed even deeper, and he only said: "Mrs. Qian, you are a busy person, and it is really rare to be a guest at our Zhu family today." However, you just said that it was for my nephew girl Chuchu, which made me a little confused. ”
Tong Chuchu was offering incense to the Buddha at the Guanyin Temple outside the city, how could he provoke someone like Qian Matchmaker, which really made Li Shi feel incredible.
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Big lady, I have to let me explain this matter to you slowly." ”
She already has a clever mouth, and she told the story to the Tao, she told the ins and outs of the matter to Li Shi, after Li Shi heard it, his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the tea bowl in his hand.
Seeing her shocked, Mrs. Qian couldn't help laughing and said: "Mrs., your niece is a fairy-like beauty, she can't hide it, you sent her to Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings, and as a result, the Bodhisattva really came true and gave her a good family affair." ”
In order to match this family business, she deliberately went to the Guanyin Temple, looked at the Tong Chuchu, and felt that she was a shining baby, which was more valuable than gold.
Any woman in this world, if she can be born like her, then she is destined to have no worries about food and clothing in this life, and she will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
Li Shi kept a calm face and did not speak for a while.
Mrs. Qian glanced at her, then straightened her back and said: "I came here today to discuss marriage with you, Mrs., your niece was favored by the Jia family in the north of the city, and the second young master of the Jia family took a fancy to Miss Chu Chu at a glance, and made up his mind in his heart that she would not marry." ”
Jiajia in the north of the city...... When Li Shi heard this, his eyebrows were about to be twisted, and he only said, "Isn't the second young master of the Jia family a fool?" ”
She blurted out in a hurry, without the slightest concern for the embarrassing smile on the face of the matchmaker.
The Jia family in the north of the city can be regarded as a solid family, but unfortunately, there is no heir who can inherit the family business, the eldest son is a demon king of the world, and the second son is a natural fool, he can't even speak clearly, how can he take a fancy to Tong Chuchu?
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "The second young man of the Jia family, although he is congenitally deficient, has a simple personality and is honest, and in addition, the Jia family is rich and rich, if the Chu Chu girl marries in the past, she will definitely have a good life." ”
The Jia family is indeed rich, but it is slightly inferior to the Zhu family, and there are no relatives of the imperial family who can show off. Many times, people talk about the Jia family full of sighs and ridicule. sigh that their family has a big business, but their fate is not good, and they laugh at their whole family, stupid, only one old lady in the whole family can preside over the overall situation. However, the relationship between the Zhu family and the Jia family has always been delicate, because they have many intersections in business, and they are also friends and enemies, and the Jia family has always coveted the title of the richest man in Texas. So, strictly speaking, the two can be regarded as rivals in the mall.
Li deliberately sent Tong Chuchu away, originally just to make up for his previous mistakes, but he didn't expect to attract another incident.
Tong Chuchu lived in the Guanyin Temple, burned incense and Buddha every day, and it stands to reason that there are not many people in contact, but her outstanding appearance will attract a lot of people with ulterior motives.
It was just a coincidence that the second young man of the Jia family met her, he didn't know his brain, so he would break in, but he accidentally entered Tong Chuchu's meditation room and saw her, and the result was out of control......
After some shock, Li Shi reluctantly calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that your trip is going to be in vain, my niece Chu Chu is here to visit relatives, and she will go back in a few days." Although I am her aunt, I still can't make decisions about her marriage...... Go back and thank the Jia family for my kindness, and I will definitely invite Mrs. Jia to come over for tea when I have time, but forget about this family business. ”
Mrs. Qian was already prepared in her heart, she knew that Li Shi would not agree easily, and hurriedly said: "Madam, my visit today was a little sudden, and you hesitated for a while. However, the Jia family is very sincere in this matter. ”
Li Shi raised his hand impatiently, not wanting her to continue, but said, "It's not too early, the old lady is still waiting for me." So...... Grandma Sun will send you off. ”
Mrs. Qian got up and smiled: "Of course, of course, I should also go." ”
Although she said that she wanted to leave, she still deliberately walked slowly, and even did not forget to glance at the Li family, and said: "Mrs. Jia, the Jia family is really sincere this time, and Mrs. Jia personally assured me that the bride price is at least these ......" After speaking, she did not forget to make a gesture.
Li Shi didn't bother to look at her again, and just wanted Grandma Sun to take her out as soon as possible.
Mrs. Qian swayed out of the house, and Li Shi clenched her palms slightly, and when Grandma Sun came back, she opened her mouth and ordered: "You quickly send someone to Chuchu to pick me up, I have something to ask her." ”
Mama Sun responded again and again.
Li Shi picked up the tea bowl again, but he couldn't drink a sip of tea.
Grandma Sun hurriedly sent a car to pick up people, and it wasn't until after dark that Tong Chuchu was picked up.
Li Shi had been waiting for her, waiting a little absent-mindedly. She couldn't figure out why Tong Chuchu was involved with the Jia family.
Brother Ming saw that she was a little distraught, and thought that something had happened, so he repeated his tricks, pretending to sleep in her room and refusing to leave, so that Li Shi could only put him on the bed and let the maid stay by the bed.
Li Shi sat outside with a calm face, looking at Tong Chuchu, who had just entered the house to salute, with a very unhappy expression.
After a few days, her complexion looked good, her face was ruddy, and she even gained some weight, and her cheeks became more and more rounded.
Tong Chuchu stood there with a smile, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned at Shang Li's inquiring gaze.
"Auntie, are you in such a hurry to call me back? But what's the hurry? ”
Li Shi smiled faintly: "You have been there for several days, and you haven't even brought back a message, I'm just a little worried." ”
Tong Chuchu smiled: "Aunt Lao is worried, I'm fine." ”
Li Shi asked her to sit down in front of her, stared into her eyes, and asked, "Do you know who I saw today?" ”
Tong Chuchu shook his head in bewilderment: "Auntie, Chu Chu just came back, of course I don't know." ”
Hearing this, Li Shi retracted his gaze and sighed softly: "I saw a matchmaker today. ”
Tong Chuchu's eyebrows moved slightly, but he still blinked in surprise: "Matchmaker? Who does my aunt want to be a matchmaker? ”
Li Shi couldn't see if she was pretending to be confused, or if she really didn't know, so she simply said straightforwardly: "The matchmaker's surname is Qian, and she is here specifically for you." She said that the second son of the Jia family in the north of the city has taken a fancy to you, and besides, you will not marry. ”
When Tong Chuchu heard this, his face changed instantly, he got up slowly, shook his head and said, "How come?" I don't know any Jia family at all......"
Hongling, who was behind her, lowered her head slightly when she heard this, and her heart tightened.
Li Shi looked at Tong Chuchu's panicked appearance, squinted his eyes a little suspiciously, and said: "You know him, but he knows you, saying that he met you in Guanyin Temple, and fell in love with you at first sight." ”
Tong Chuchu still shook his head: "Auntie, I don't know the second young man of the Jia family, I ......" She suddenly spoke, as if she remembered something, and was silent for a while, before she said: "It must be the person who broke in that day, but I don't know him......"
Seeing that she vigorously denied it, Li Shi said: "Whether you recognize it or not, people can't wait to come to the door to propose marriage now." As I said earlier, I would take care of your marriage. If you really want to marry someone with a good family background, Texas abounds in the city, why do you have to be the Jia family? ”
Although Tong Chuchu insisted on denying it, Li still felt that she must have known about this matter a long time ago.
Tong Chuchu said with a look of grievance: "Auntie, I really don't know. ”
Li Shi patted the table and said: "This matter, now you can't call the shots, I will write to your mother immediately, and then send you back as soon as possible, so as not to cause any more trouble!" ”
