She waved her hand and refused with heartache: "Madam, you'd better take the money back. I really can't..."
Mrs. Zheng interrupted her forcefully: "Take it. Actually, I have other things to ask you when I come here this time. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to ask."
As he spoke, he directly put the money into Shen Qingqing's hand, then turned around and took a piece of red paper from the maid's hand and handed it over, "Please help me see if the two people on the red paper can make it."
Shen Qingqing took the red paper and opened it. There were two lines of small characters written on it. One line was Zhang Chengyi's name and birth date, and the other line was Wang Bihe's name and birth date.
Seeing the words "Wang Bihe", Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows with interest. Stone Town is really small.
Zheng's heart suddenly tightened when she saw her expression was different, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"It's nothing." Shen Qingqing only glanced at their birthdays and returned the red paper, "Your son's marriage has not yet come, so Madam does not have to worry about it for the time being."
"Does this mean it can't be accomplished?"
Mrs. Zheng was anxious in her heart. Listening to Shen Qingqing's words, not only could this marriage not work, but it seemed that it wouldn't work if it were another woman. What should she do?
In the autumn of last year, Zhang Chengyi went to the county to take the exam alone. Because no one took care of his food, he often went hungry. He even broke his leg before the exam, so he had to give up the exam and return home.
Mrs. Zheng was worried that there would be another accident in the scientific examination next year, and Chengyi had a stubborn temper and was unwilling to let his family or maids follow him. After thinking about it, she wanted to marry him a wife in advance, and then the couple would go to the county to take the exam together.
, they can also take care of each other.
As a result, her son's marriage has not come yet, which makes Mrs. Zheng very anxious, "Qingqing, can you think of a way to get Chengyi to marry a wife within a year? Thank you in advance, aunt."
"There must be a way, but does Madam really want to do this?"
Shen Qingqing looked at her puzzled, "Master Zhang has been studying for many years and is very knowledgeable. If he can get into the Imperial High School in the future, his status will naturally not be the same as it is now. What kind of woman will he not be able to marry then?"
"Furthermore, when a man and a woman get married, what matters is fate. Once the fate has arrived, everything that follows will fall into place; if the fate has not yet arrived, and they mess up the relationship, not only will the family not be harmonious, but there may also be disasters. Madam, you have really thought about it.
?”
"this……"
Mrs. Zheng hesitated. She just thought that it would be much more convenient for her son to marry a wife now, and she didn't think about the future at all. After Shen Qingqing reminded her, she realized how wrong she was.
"You're right, I thought about the matter too simply. I just rejected the matchmaker and never mentioned it again."
Zheng held Shen Qingqing's hand and said thank you several times, "Qingqing, my aunt will remember your kindness. Next time you encounter any difficulties, you can go directly to Zhang's house to ask your aunt for help."
After seeing Mrs. Zheng off, Shen Qingqing took out the twenty taels of silver she had just received. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, "He is indeed a noble man with an extraordinary destiny. He will give you twenty taels of silver when you meet him. How awesome."
"Miss Shen, are you praising me?"
Zhang Chengyi's joking voice suddenly came from behind. When she turned around, she saw a man in Tsing Yi leaning against the door and looking at her with a smile on his face.
The smile on Shen Qingqing's face froze, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig out the three rooms and one living room with her toes.
She put the money into her purse and exhaled calmly, "You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything just now."
Zhang Chengyi laughed, but did not expose her, "Does the favor you promised me last time still count?"
"Fine, but it may take a while." Shen Qingqing pointed to the store full of customers, "When there are fewer people in the store, I will make you a bowl alone. Don't worry, my noodles taste great.
I will never let you wait in vain."
As she spoke, she gave an exaggerated thumbs up.
Zhang Chengyi sniffed in cooperation and said with a smile: "I believe you can smell it."
He is not a person who has a strong appetite for food. He has the urge to open his belly and eat a big meal when he smells this fragrance. The temptation is evident.
He was very efficient in doing things. She took over the tasks of cooking the noodles, pouring the mushroom oil, and serving the noodles all by herself. By the time Shen Qingqing returned, she had already started making the second pot of noodles.
"Auntie, thank you for your hard work today."
Mr. He waved his hand and said, "It's hard work. It's not hard work. Listening to the customers praising how delicious our noodles are, I have endless strength."
Shen Qingqing picked up the colander and started scooping out the noodles. Then while He was cooking the noodles, he took out the risen dough and kneaded it.
An ordinary rolling pin seemed to have been given life by her, rolling left and right flexibly. Soon, the dough was rolled out into a uniformly thick sheet. At this time, it was the kitchen knife's turn to come into play, and there was a "bang bang bang" sound.
After that, the dough pieces will become noodles with almost the same width.
Meng Qixue clapped excitedly from behind, "Mother is so amazing, mother is so amazing!"
Shen Qingqing smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, "Then, why is your mother not so good at what she does?"
After the noodles were cooked, she first filled a bowl for each of He and her four children, then poured another bowl with mushroom oil and brought it to Zhang Chengyi, "Try it."
Looking at the steaming noodles in the bowl, Zhang Chengyi swallowed involuntarily, picked up the chopsticks and imitated the techniques of the customers in the store, stirred them a few times, took a bite, and the fungi soaked in oil and water slid into his mouth along with the noodles.
, a strange and fresh taste goes straight to the Tianling Cap.
"How is it? How does it taste?" Shen Qingqing sat on the other side of the small table and looked at him with a smile.
Against the light, he couldn't see Shen Qingqing's face clearly, but he felt that the pair of bright red lips were particularly gorgeous, like red plums hanging proudly on the branches in the vast snow, so beautiful that it made people dazzle.
A poem suddenly appeared in his mind: "The jade color is even when rubbed with delicate hands, and the green oil is fried into a deep yellow color. When spring comes at night, one knows the importance of sleeping, and the gold wrapped around the arms of a beautiful woman is flattened."
Zhang Chengyi's ears felt a little hot, and many words of praise were stuck in his throat. He didn't know where to start, and finally he choked out two words: "Very good."
As soon as the words fell, another clear voice sounded from behind: "Mom, Grandma He asked me to call you back to eat noodles, saying that if you don't eat the noodles, they will become sticky!"
Zhang Chengyi turned around in surprise and saw Meng Qi's snow-white and lovely face. His heart, which was originally hot, seemed to have been splashed with cold water and instantly cooled down.
"She is you..."
Shen Qingqing smiled and continued: "My daughter, Xuebao, call someone quickly."
Meng Qixue waved to him obediently, "Hello, uncle, uncle, you are so good-looking!"
Zhang Chengyi smiled awkwardly, "This kid has such a sweet mouth."
"I know how to praise people all the time, but I can't even do anything to her." Shen Qingqing sighed exaggeratedly, but the pride on her face could not be stopped at all.
Zhang Chengyi laughed in a very cooperative manner, and then said softly: "You can go eat, I don't need anyone here."
"Okay, I'll leave then. You eat slowly and call me later if you need anything." This chapter has been completed!
