Chapter 148: Mulberry Handkerchief
"Mr. Wang, why are you here again?" Looking at Wang Chengyu standing at the door, my smile instantly froze.
Can't he keep my good mood going for two more seconds?
However, Wang Chengyu didn't say anything this time, just turned sideways and seemed to be ready to let others come over.
Heh, and invited a lobbyist?
Thought I'd change my mind that way?
What a deplight of me.
I didn't raise my head, and directly refused: "Mr. Wang, no matter who you invite, it's useless, I won't accept this matter."
"Yes, Tinker Bell." Suddenly, the sound of a crutch falling to the ground was accompanied by an old and kind voice.
This is?
When I heard this, I immediately looked up, and what caught my eye was an old lady in her eighties. She was already gray-haired, but her eyes looked very bright.
And her kind smile instantly reminded me of my childhood memories.
"Grandma Cousin." After confirming that someone was coming, I stepped forward cordially and hurriedly helped her into the shop: "Why don't you tell me in advance, I'll pick you up."
"Don't bother, Xiao Wang came directly to the village to pick me up." Cousin Pu Zhen looked at me and said.
And when I heard Xiao Wang in her mouth, I couldn't help frowning.
That's right, this person named Pu Zhen in front of me is my cousin, and of course she is not my real relative. It's that she and her grandmother are like sisters, and they grew up watching me grow up.
That's why I called her my cousin.
"Grandma Cousin, do you know Mr. Wang?"
I said the word "sir" very seriously, and I wanted to express that I was not familiar with Wang Chengyu at all.
In fact, I really don't know Wang Chengyu well.
But......
"Yes, Xiao Wang's grandmother and I are classmates in a private school. Later, we lost contact for a long time, and we only got in touch recently." Pu Zhen said truthfully.
What?
How close the relationship.
I can't help but think of the law of six degrees of separation. It is said that it takes no more than five intermediaries for any person on the planet to have a relationship with any other person.
I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it when I see Pu Zhen's appearance.
But at the same time, I also admire Wang Chengyu's preparation work is really sufficient.
But then he can make me compromise?
Apparently not.
"Grandma cousin, I think Mr. Wang must have told you about yesterday. You're not an outsider, so I'll just say it. I really can't do what Mr. Wang asks for. That's what my grandmother set the rule, we won't accept guests if they don't trust us." I sincerely and earnestly refused.
Some things can talk about family affection, but some things really can't.
What's more, it is still a matter of human life.
Pu Zhen didn't seem to expect me to be so decisive and straightforward, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Tinker Bell, I know a lot of rules for your Ma family's Yin embroidery. But Xiao Wang's matter is really tricky. I'm afraid no one else can do it but you."
"Cousin, there are many people who walk in the shadows. And there are many masters of Buddhism and Taoism, and no one else can do this except me, which is really a bit too exalting for me."
I don't say this modestly, but on the facts.
If it weren't for Xiao Yun going into retreat again, I wouldn't have been able to recommend Xiao Yun to him.
Of course, if Wang Chengyu is willing, I can also ask Lin Yi to introduce the Zhengyi faction to him. As for other yin people, as long as he is attentive and spends money, there is nothing that he can't find.
"Miss Ma, but I believe you. And as you said, there are too many people in this business, what if I meet someone who is not a lady and I run into a liar? My friend doesn't believe in this in the first place, and if he encounters a liar again. The situation can only make matters worse, and I am afraid that if he really encounters difficulties in the future, it will be impossible to believe it." Wang Chengyu explained anxiously.
I have to say that he was right.
But he has his own worries, and so do I.
So I still refused, "Mr. Wang, I already told you clearly yesterday the reason for refusal
Finish. I won't repeat it today, I can see that you are very attentive. But it's a pity that it's useless for you to invite my cousin here."
Then, I turned my eyes to Pu Zhen, and was about to say sorry for her running away for nothing, but I really couldn't help with this favor.
Without thinking about it, Pu Zhen took out a handkerchief embroidered with mulberries and put it in front of me.
I was stunned when I saw this, and then I said, "Grandma, are you sure?"
It's more than just a handkerchief.
"Tinker Bell, my cousin doesn't have much to ask for when she lives to this age. It's a waste for me to keep this thing, so it's better to use it for Xiao Wang. It can be regarded as the fulfillment of his sincere heart as a friend." Pu Zhen replied.
And when I heard her words, I was very helpless.
Because there are only three handkerchiefs in the world, all of which were embroidered by my grandmother.
The mulberries on it are also the people who grandma hopes to get these three handkerchiefs, and they can turn evil into good fortune. At the same time, he also made a rule that whoever he was going to do was only need to take out these three handkerchiefs.
I have to agree to the other party's request for Yin embroidery.
"Tinker Bell, are you still refusing to help?" Seeing that I didn't say a word, Pu Zhen asked with some concern.
But my expression became more and more helpless: "Grandma, I said that you have taken out a mulberry handkerchief, how dare I not help. It's just that if this thing is not done well, not only can it not help Mr. Wang's friend. It will also harm others and yourself."
If you can't help the other party, you will also create a causal debt for yourself.
This is the result of my grandmother's encounter with such an employer.
She's so good that she can only be like this, can I do better than her?
"Let's take it." Suddenly, a clear voice came: "Once is a coincidence, twice is fate. The appearance of mulberry handkerchiefs at least proves that your grandmother has agreed with you to take over the business."
Hearing this, I turned around and smiled brightly, "Old man Lin, are you a mouse? He doesn't make a sound when he walks."
Wang Chengyu in the room turned his head when he heard this, Lin Yi, who looked the opposite of his age and had a completely different temperament, was slightly stunned: "Miss Ma, this is what you call Boss Lin?"
"It's him." I smiled and nodded.
"Where does he look like an old man?" Wang Chengyu questioned.
Lin Yi and I looked at each other, and then both of them laughed.
But Pu Zhen, who had been sitting, seemed to be very excited when she saw Lin Yi, and immediately stood up: "You are Mr. Lin?"
"That's right, it's me." Lin Yi nodded and said, "Grandma Pu, hello."
"Okay. Mr. Lin didn't expect that I would be able to see you again in my lifetime, what an honor." Pu Zhen said with slightly wet eyes.
I was stunned, after all, I hadn't heard of Pu Zhen and Lin Yi intersecting before.
Wang Chengyu was even more stunned: "Grandma Pu, have you seen Boss Lin before?"
Even I was surprised, not to mention Wang Chengyu, an outsider who was not an inside story at all. Apparently, Pu Zhen also noticed that she was speechless, and hurriedly made up for it, "I saw Tinker Bell when I came to look for him a few years ago, and he did me a favor back then. So it's hard to see it today."
"Oh, I see." Wang Chengyu understood.
