Chapter 119: Soft Persimmons
"Then you can't push it off, can't you?" Zhuang Yumeng was a little helpless, this kind of thing that clearly made her mother-in-law do the wrong was not once or twice.
"Didn't you hear clearly?" The old woman's voice suddenly rose a lot, sounding extremely harsh, and her face became gloomy, "That Lord Zhang is Yun Lang's top boss, you want me to push me can't do it, how can you let Yun Lang gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy!" As she spoke, the old woman showed signs of wanting to cry and wipe away her tears.
"Okay, okay," Zhuang Yumeng really couldn't stand the old woman's noise, she just wanted to let the old woman shut her mouth as soon as possible, so she quickly took out two hangings of money from her arms, "I only have two hangings of money left here, and I should still be rich after watching a play." After you finish watching the play, you can use the rest of the money to buy some rice and come back to the pot."
"Just two pieces of money, aren't you slapping me in the face?" The old woman took two steps forward and snatched the copper coin, and held it in her arms, her mouth still unrelenting, and her eyes looked around.
Suddenly, as if she had seen something, she rushed to Zhuang Yumeng's bed, grabbed the silk handkerchief that Zhuang Yumeng had hidden under the pillow, and then proudly raised it in front of Zhuang Yumeng: "I look at money so tightly every day, and I don't know what to do with so much money secretly!" and there is no hurry to buy a coffin!"
"How do you speak?" Chunling saw that the old woman was really too deceitful, and she couldn't help but get angry.
"How do I speak?" The old woman held the silk handkerchief, crossed her waist, and took a step towards Chunling, "You are a maid, how can you speak here!" Help her hide things, I think you are colluding to take out all the money of our family and secretly raise men!"
"That's it! Take the money and leave!" Seeing that the old woman was talking more and more, Zhuang Yumeng hurriedly scolded, and desperately grabbed Chunling, who was about to run away.
Chunling looked at the old woman's distant back, and stomped her feet angrily: "Girl! She ......" turned her head and saw Zhuang Yumeng like a soft persimmon, all of Chunling's words were blocked in her throat and she couldn't say a word.

"Oops! The champion is here! Girls, pick up guests~" At the beginning of the lanterns in Jin'an City, Hu Qiaomei, the old bustard who was full of flowers, stood at the door to greet the send-off. As Hu Qiaomei's words landed, there was a coquettish cry from the building: "Here it is~"
Zhuang Yuanlang greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand to Hu Qiaomei: "Mother Hu, you are really getting more and more beautiful."
"Oops! It's a champion, this little mouth is so sweet!" Zhuang Yuanlang's words made Hu Qiaomeile blossom.
"Look what this is~" Zhuang Yuanlang mysteriously stretched out his clenched fist in front of Hu Qiaomei.
"What?" Hu Qiaomei asked with a smile.
"Mom, look!" Champion smiled and spread his palms. A pair of ruby earrings come into view.
"Yo, that's pretty!" Hu Qiaomei smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes, "Which girl is this going to give to us?" Hu Qiaomei's eyes were directly aimed at the five or six girls behind her.
"Mother Hu said with a smile, this is specially prepared for you by Xiao Ke." As he spoke, Zhuang Yuanlang stuffed the earrings into Hu Qiaomei's hand.
"For me?" Hu Qiaomei was very surprised, "What's the matter with Zhuang Yuanlang, do you want the slave family to do it?"
"Mother Hu said she was laughing," Zhuang Yuanlang smiled, "It's just that I fell in love with one of your sisters here, and I want her to stay with Xiao Ke for two days."
"Just two days?"
"Just two days!"
"Done! Tell me, who is it?" Hu Qiaomei took the earrings in her arms.
"Just the little girl next to Sister Cuixue who brings tea and water." Champion Lang is a serious way.
"Qianyu!" Hu Qiaomei's eyes widened, "That's a little doll! What do you want her to do?"
"Don't hide it from Hu's mother," there was a trace of sadness on Zhuang Yuanlang's face, "I have a wife who has a recurrence of an old illness at home, I didn't win the champion before, and I don't think there is anything wrong, but now that I have won the champion and come to Jin'an City, I know that she is a vulgar woman, don't say that her eyebrows are high and her eyes are low, and she will not even say a beautiful word, I am angry for a while, and I said two words to her, I don't want to be sick." Now I don't even have a hostess in my house to welcome ......."
"Champion Lang, is this trying to redeem Qianyu?" Hu Qiaomei looked the champion up and down, thinking carefully about the truth of what he said.
"If Sister Qianyu is willing to serve Xiao Ke's wife to the ground, Xiao Ke doesn't mind carrying the sedan chair and marrying Sister Qianyu." The champion bowed his hand to Hu Qiaomei and said.
Hu Qiaomei thought for a while and smiled: "That's really Qianyu's blessing." Hu Qiaomei paused, "That's it, at the end of this month, you come to me to receive someone, and when the time comes, I will prepare Qianyu's identity deed, what about you, give the slave family another ingot of silver, and this Qianyu will be yours." How?"
"Mama Hu is really a cheerful person!" Champion Lang laughed, "So, then it's decided. At the end of the month, Xiao Ke came to pick up Sister Qianyu. Xiao Ke thanked Mother Hu first." After that, the champion gave Hu Qiaomei a deep salute.

"Look, it's still the mother of the champion who is generous!" A bejeweled lady stood beside the carriage with the maid in her arms, looking up and down at the opera garden in front of her, and said flatteringly with a smile.
"Yes, Mrs. Zhang, you said, our Jin Ancheng, apart from our champion mother, who else has such a skill, charter the entire opera garden and invite us to listen to the play." A delicate lady with a willow waist jumped out of the carriage with a maid and said with a smile.
The maid behind Mrs. Zhang gave a shallow blessing to Mrs. Slender Waist, and Mrs. Zhang affectionately pulled Mrs. Slender Waist's hand: "Sister Manqin is getting more and more beautiful."
The maid behind Manqin followed Manqin and gave Mrs. Zhang a deep blessing: "Sister Huaiwei is still as dazzling as ever."
"Two ladies, let's not stand at this door and talk, please sit inside." The mother of the champion interrupted the greetings of the two with a smile on her face, and tremblingly let the two officials and dependents with personal maids in front of her go to the theater garden.
"Oh, look at me, it's all my fault, I patronized and talked, but I forgot about business!" Manqin Jiao smiled, "Sister, let's go in." After that, Manqin twisted her waist with Mrs. Zhang, didn't even look at the champion's mother, and walked straight into the opera garden.
"Two ladies, let's make a show." Seeing the guests seated, the owner of the opera garden bowed down and handed over some excerpts.
"Who's ......," Mrs. Zhang turned around and pointed at Zhuangyuan's mother with her hand.
"Yun Qin Clan." The champion's mother trotted up to her and reported her surname.
"Today, Mrs. Yun is chartered, what kind of drama is listening, let her order first." Mrs. Zhang said to the owner of the opera garden.
"This ......" Yun Qin took some of the jokes, looking embarrassed, she didn't know any of the words on it. She barely pulled out a hint of a smile, and presented the excerpt in front of Mrs. Zhang, "It's better for you two to order first."
