Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Princess

When the door was opened and everything was placed, Qi Ning sat comfortably behind the counter eating hemp candy and waiting for customers to come to the door. Since I started selling roast duck, I didn't do it in the morning, and only made it in the evening and at noon.

An old woman with a flamboyant branch walked in, and when she saw Qi Ning grinning and raising a handkerchief, she stepped forward: "Ouch, this is the girl of the Qi family, right?" It's really a first-class talent. ”

The iconic big mole, the exaggerated smile, and the bright flower veil, who is not the famous matchmaker in the city?

"Grandma Wang, what kind of wind blew your old man here?" Qi Ning stood up with a smile and asked, muttering in her heart, what is she doing here?

Mrs. Wang covered her mouth with a flower handkerchief and smiled: "Naturally, it's a good thing, it's a great thing, Miss Qi wants to give me a cup of good tea to eat." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qi Ningrang, he twisted his waist and found a stool to sit down.

Qi Ning brought her a glass of water: "I've been busy all morning, I don't care about making tea, Grandma Wang will drink some water first." ”

Mrs. Wang twisted her eyebrows, and said with a big grin: "I have a nephew who has just made a fortune from the capital recently, and I met the girl on the street yesterday and fell in love at first sight, and I couldn't eat or sleep when I went back, so I didn't want to propose marriage to the girl." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Wang, for a trip on a cold day, I don't want to get married yet."

"What do you say, it's time for a girl to go out and get married, a girl of your age has a child." Mrs. Wang said that she had been a matchmaker for many years, and she thought that Qi Ning was the same as other girls, and she was shy when she heard about her relatives: "My nephew's name is Wang Jicai, he is a talent, and he is well-informed, although he is a few years older than you, but he has never been married, and now he has made a fortune and is planning to buy a family to stay and do some business, and he will not return to the capital." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Wang, I'm not being polite, I really don't want to get married, I still have a heavy filial piety, and I'll talk about it after a few years."

"I heard that your father has been gone for more than a year, and now he will marry first, and then in another year, in addition to filial piety, it will be just right to get married. My mother's brother and sister-in-law have been gone for several years, you get married, there is no mother-in-law on the top, the two of them close the door and become a small family, and then you will say everything. My nephew said that as long as you marry in the past, you will be in charge of the house, and then it will be an inexhaustible blessing, not to mention, my nephew is also very painful, and if you make money in the future, will it all be handed over to you to manage? ”

"Grandma Wang, your nephew is good, but don't look at me as an orphan girl, but I also have my own plans in my heart. Don't talk about it again. Besides, I'm still in filial piety, and I don't have the heart to say this. Qi Ning smiled shallowly, with an unquestionable look.

"Then think about it, and I'll come back in a few days. The girl must think twice, there will be no such shop after this village! In ancient times, the man went to the woman's house in advance, and there was no reason to agree the first time, so he always had to run twice, so that the girl was expensive, and the in-law's family could not be underestimated.

Wu and the proprietress of the tofu shop looked at the back of Mrs. Wang walking away, and ran over curiously and asked, "What is Mrs. Wang doing here?" ”

"The two sisters-in-law, please take a seat, she said her nephew had seen me. I wasn't impressed. Ask her to propose marriage today. Qi Ning furrowed her brows, she really didn't remember seeing any nephews of the Wang family.

"Mrs. Wang's maiden nephew? Which one? Wu asked.

"He said it was called Wang Jicai."

"I'm bah, what Wang Jicai, it's the famous Wang Gouzi, that unsuccessful thing eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, cheats and abducts more than thirty people and still fights singles." Wu spat on the ground angrily.

"Wang Gouzi, I heard that he didn't go to the capital, I guess he did something again, so he ran back." Xiao Wu also said. This king dog is notorious in Qing'an City, and everyone sees him like hiding shit, and there is no one who is not bored.

"Are the two aunts mistaken? Wang Jicai is Wang Gouzi? "Qi Ning is going to explode.

"How can I be mistaken, that king dog didn't do anything, and he was angry with his father and mother early. It's just bullying you that you don't know the details, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat. ”

Qi Ning furrowed her eyebrows and said coldly: "Mrs. Wang praised his nephew for having nothing in the sky and on the earth, I thought it was a good family, but fortunately I directly refused." The next time she dares to come again, I'll call out. She didn't believe that Wang Gouzi fell in love with herself at a glance on the street, and deliberately asked Wang Matchmaker to ask for marriage, one thing is for sure, they wanted Qi Ning to be alone, without dependence, and some family property, and they made wishful thinking and wanted to calculate themselves.

Wu Shi thought about it carefully, and the look on his face became cautious: "You go in and out of this shop every day, maybe Wang Gouzi has seen you ask someone to inquire, right?" ”

Xiao Wu took a sip and said: "Miss Qi opened a shop to do business, and now who doesn't know this roast duck restaurant Qing'an City, although it hasn't been open for a long time, but in the end it is also a business." Wang Gouzi's pickled praise goods, delicious and lazy, has always been a bastard, it is estimated that he fell in love with the girl's family, if it is done, I think I will not worry about eating and drinking in the future. You say, this girl is really a good calculation? ”

"What? This mother-in-law, aunt and nephew are too different things. Wu stood up, his brows furrowed.

"I won't agree to whatever they want, and if I don't know if I dare to come to the door again, I'll beat them out with a stick." Qi Ning sat calmly.

"Miss Qi, you didn't understand the power of the king dog, that is a stinky shit and stepped on the stinky for half a year, don't let him entangle you, or you will be in trouble."

"There is no reason in this world that a cow does not drink water and presses its head, I don't agree, he dares to rob me and I can't go."

"Snatch a kiss, he may not dare, maybe he will ruin your reputation everywhere."

"My reputation is not ruined by his king's dog, if I let me know, I will sue the yamen, and I will not give up until he is honest. I'm a girl who doesn't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. ”

Seeing Qi Ning say this, Wu hurriedly comforted: "It is a big deal for a woman to marry, and it is not rash, just tell Mrs. Wang that you are still in the filial piety period, and it is not in a hurry to look at each other slowly in the future, don't offend her, that Mrs. Wang can say that she is alive with a mouth, and she is talking nonsense everywhere." ”

The two scolded Wang Gouzi's aunt and nephew, and after a few words of persuasion, they left.

The next day, Mrs. Wang came to the door with Wang Gouzi.

"Miss Qi, I've been waiting for you for two days? It's not that I'm boasting, my nephew is indeed a good character, and several families with family backgrounds have sent people to probe my mouth! ”

Mrs. Wang was wearing a dark red flower jacket, a silver hairpin with five or six flowers on her head, and a thin silver bracelet on both hands.

Without waiting for Qi Ning to let him sit down, that posture was very high, and he squinted at Qi Ning and said, "I'm afraid that the girl won't be at ease, I will lead my nephew to show you in person." ”

Wang Gouzi was wearing a nondescript long robe, and bowed at Qi Ning with a crooked hat: "Xiao Ke Wang Jicai, I have seen Miss Qi." ”

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, he didn't give up! I wanted to pit her, not to mention the door, there was no window, and I shouted hello to the backyard, Zhao, Han Dong and Qiao Niang rushed out with sticks, Tie Niu picked up the door and was about to hit Wang Gouzi, Qi Ning stopped: "Hurry up, don't let me say it's not bad." ”

Mrs. Wang jumped up and stood up and said, "You girl is so rude, she doesn't say that she is waiting for her relatives, and she has to beat people." ”

"Mrs. Wang, I respect you for your age and don't want to beat you, but what kind of thing is your nephew, no one in the entire Qing'an City knows, so it is difficult to look at me, a foreigner. To tell you the truth, on the first day I entered the city, I met Wang Gouzi touching porcelain on the street, and I also stood up to help the kid out of the siege. The master of that child is now my friend. ”

Wang Gouzi was stunned, today's Qi Ning has changed a lot from the beginning, her skin is delicate and ruddy, and her figure is also outstanding, Wang Gouzi didn't expect that she was the nosy girl that day.

"Bah." Mrs. Wang scolded fiercely: "I don't know what to do, are you still the same as my nephew now, he is doing things for the big officials in the capital." If you can see that you are your creation, if you don't want to, how many people can't ask for it. ”

Qi Ning rolled up her sleeves, carried a broom, and said to the people behind her: "Call me out, I'll be responsible for killing me." ”

A group of female generals held sticks and blasted out the aunt and nephew all the way, and the princess stood on the street and scolded again, and the iron bull splashed a basin of cold water on her.

On the day of the tenth winter wax moon, Mrs. Wang squeaked coldly and ran behind Wang Gouzi.

Wang Gouzi regretted it, he never dreamed that Qi Ning was the bold and down-and-out girl at the beginning, that day Qi Ning wanted to stand out for others, but he had a relationship with the big guys. I knew it was her, and he didn't dare to come if he gave them the guts.

After he ran that day, he followed a few fox friends to the capital, stayed for a few days without food and drink on the street to touch porcelain and steal things, some time ago met a hard stubble, almost was caught and broke his leg, then escaped overnight, which is like what he blew to do business and make a fortune, that is, these clothes on the body are stolen.

Wu and Xiao Wu were busy explaining the reason for the matter to the people watching the excitement, Qi Ning said thank you and took people back to do business, so that she would not delay earning money for a leper dog.
