Zhou Yanqing glared at her after hearing her words.
Said: "What nonsense are you talking about? What does it mean to deserve it? Not to mention that now you have agreed to me and promised to let me take care of you, but there is no such thing. It is just the workshop and the fact that you asked me to go to Beijing earlier.
The pulley that was given here, what can I get by giving you these things?"
After a pause, he continued: "Have you never seen what my sisters-in-law moved back to their parents' homes? It's because I don't care about it, so I got them into treating everything in the public house as their own.
In recent years, there has been no one living in my room, so all the things I got and the gifts I received were sent to the public school, and no one took them out, but I suffered a huge loss."
Qiao Mingjin laughed when she saw how he looked like he was losing a lot of money.
Said: "Then I will put these two things away first, and regard them as making room for your private treasury. Don't give them away again in the future. I really don't need these things in the country. They are all stored at the bottom of the box, and I have to prevent others from thinking about them.
.”
Zhou Yanqing looked at her steadily and said, "Do you plan to stay in this country for the rest of your life?"
Qiao Mingjin paused, came to her senses, turned around and picked up the two boxes: "I'll put them away before I come back."
Turned around and left.
Zhou Yanqing smiled when he saw her hurriedly going out.
If I follow him, can I still live in this place named Yue?
Thinking of her expression just now, he laughed again. It was rare to see more and more of her other side in the past two days. This woman seemed to be slowly accepting him.
At the other end, in the main courtyard of Mrs. Zhou's mansion.
Several daughters-in-law were sitting around Mrs. Zhou talking and laughing, and the sisters-in-law were living in harmony.
"Daughter-in-law of the eldest son, I know you are filial, but the eldest son is not at home, and you are in charge of the middle minister, so you don't have to come to my place every day to say hello. I also know the affairs of the house. There are not big things but too many small things. Thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Zhou's wife, Mrs. Wu, smiled and said: "Everywhere is hard work. There are always people in charge and rules. My wife is just a free person. There is good tea here and the snacks are better than those in our room."
You don’t want us to come and ask for tea and snacks.”
Mrs. Zhou leaned on the low couch and nodded. Mrs. Zhou laughed.
"Your sixth brother just gave me two cans of good tea, and now you are thinking about it. If you don't know, you think that I, an old woman, have been harsh on you."
The remaining daughters-in-law also joked around, and the third wife said with a smile: "Who in the city of Qingchuan doesn't know that Mr. Liu is the most filial to his own mother. Whenever he gets something good outside, he will always send it to my mother's home.
The third brother came from the hospital. His third brother said he was going to take some cans of good tea to give away, and he waited at the door impatiently for Mr. Liu. He didn’t even pick up a can or a half of it, he just said he was sending all of it to his mother.
.”
The old lady was happy after hearing this and said: "You can't stand how filial Lao Liu is to me, old lady? I've raised you all in vain. In the past, he didn't send enough good things to each of your rooms? You guys are here with me?"
I have caught a lot of good things. Now I am staring at my two cans of tea foam."
Then he smiled at the third wife and said: "The third child didn't catch the tea leaves. Didn't the sixth child open his private treasury and give him a golden and jade Guanyin? He also asked him to go to the warehouse to pick out many things. You greedy people, you are the best.
I arranged him here."
The third wife secretly glanced at the old lady in the seat and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the old lady was not angry.
Then he said: "How dare I arrange for Mr. Liu to praise his filial piety to his mother? How can I find Mr. Liu in Qingchuan City to be so filial to his own mother? Baba will give him any good things he gets, regardless of his brother's temperament.
In the rain, I stood guard at the gate and begged. The third master said that the sixth master didn't care about anyone except the old lady."
The old lady laughed loudly after hearing this.
He pouted at her and said, "Is it true that you and the third child are jealous of your sixth brother? I'll tell him later and ask him to send some good things to your third room as well."
The eldest wife and the other daughters-in-law joked one after another: "Mom, you can't just love the third wife and forget about us all."
The old lady was in a very good mood: "I can't forget, I can't forget."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed for a while, then served her breakfast. They sat in the flower hall again, talking and laughing.
The old lady was in a good mood today. She joked with her daughters-in-law and asked about the men and children in their respective rooms.
He opened his mouth and said, "It's been a long time since we all got together for dinner in the house. Let's make some noise together at some time and bring the children with us."
The eldest lady and others all nodded in agreement.
The eldest lady Wu glanced at the old lady and said: "Mom, I haven't seen Mr. Liu for a long time. I heard that Mr. Liu gets up early every day during this period, and there is no one in his courtyard who knows how cold it is and how hot it is.
, my daughter-in-law is afraid that he will break her body bones. Mother, you must talk to him properly."
The old lady nodded happily and said: "Thank you for still thinking about this brother. I haven't seen him for a few days. Yesterday I was supposed to call him for dinner, but he said he hadn't come back yet. This morning I called him again.
Someone went to call him to have breakfast with me, an old woman, but the person who went there replied that Mr. Liu had already gone out. This kid comes back in the dark every day and goes out before dawn every day. If this goes on, how can his body survive."
After listening to this, several bastard wives nodded: "Mom is right. There are so many mouths waiting for food and drink in this mansion, and we can't always rely on the uncle and the sixth master to support them. The uncle is in the north all the year round, and only the sixth master is here in the south."
It's too hard to support it alone. It's useless to blame our master. Otherwise, I can help the sixth master."
The old lady glanced at these bastard wives lightly and said, "Who says it's not the case?"
Several bastard wives secretly glanced at the old lady and swallowed back the words they had planned.
Of the six lords in this mansion, only the three legitimate sons born to the old lady are in important positions and are in charge of the family business in this mansion.
If a few concubines can't take advantage of the old lady's presence to run some real estate shops and make some money, I'm afraid the old lady will split up the family a hundred years later, and they, the concubines, won't be able to get anything in the house.
The eldest lady glanced at the sisters-in-law, then looked up at the old lady, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother is so busy, and there is no one in the house who knows what is cold and what is hot. As the eldest sister-in-law, I feel sorry for him.
His eldest brother often talks about his sixth brother in letters home from the north."
The old lady became happy again after hearing this.
Said: "That's how it should be. They are brothers and I am happy to see them harmonious. After a hundred years, my family fortune will naturally be handed over to these brothers. They are all close brothers and sisters, so they should help each other.
There’s nothing better than this.”
Several daughters-in-law also started to flatter him with every word.
After a while, the topic of Mr. Liu's marriage came up, and everyone was talking about it. They all worked together and followed the old lady's words and said a few words that she liked to hear.
The old lady laughed for a while, stroked her forehead and said: "Hey, you sixth brothers, you don't know what kind of person you are looking for, tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, virtuous, dignified... Qingchuan
There are almost all the women who are similar to us in the city, but he can't seem to like any of them."
The eldest lady smiled and said: "Who is our sixth master? He looks most like my mother, he is handsome and handsome, and when he goes out, a lot of women throw handkerchiefs on him. Isn't my mother afraid that she won't find the one she likes?"
What's wrong with Mr. Liu having a higher vision? This Qingchuan City is a small place after all. If it doesn't work, we'll go to Fucheng to find one. Otherwise, we'll send a letter to Uncle Clan and ask him to point out one to Mr. Liu from Beijing. I'm afraid that there will be news here, then
Candidates can be lined up from our house to the gate of the city."
The old lady pointed at the eldest lady again and laughed.
After laughing for a while, he tilted his head with a suspicious look on his face and said, "Could it be that you really don't like the women in Qingchuan City?"
The eldest lady smiled and replied: "Didn't you write to your uncle? There are all ladies from famous families in Beijing, and they have been well-educated since childhood. Are you afraid that you won't find a sixth brother who will like you?"
The old lady nodded and said, "I'll send the letter, but I'm afraid it won't be so soon."
The eldest wife thought for a while and then said: "Mom, don't worry too much. Marriage has been destined since ancient times. Maybe Mr. Liu's marriage has already been decided. Maybe Mr. Liu has fallen in love with someone a long time ago, but he just didn't let us know.
.”
As soon as the eldest lady finished speaking, the other ladies looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The old lady straightened her body and said, "Old lady, wife, could it be that you have noticed something?"
The eldest lady buried her head in silence at first, but she became anxious and then said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know if it's true or not. She just thinks that Mr. Liu has been up early and late these past two days. Every time people come back to the courtyard, they say that Mr. Liu is very happy. He stayed up all night yesterday."
I asked the kitchen to make a lot of fish balls and ordered them to pick out all the fish bones. I heard that Mr. Liu didn’t eat them himself, but took them out early in the morning. Yesterday, he opened the warehouse overnight to collect the fish balls that were collected a few days ago.
Some of the best satin that came in were taken away. They were all the bright colors used for women's clothes."
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she sat there with her lips pursed and stopped talking.
The old lady glanced at her sideways and said calmly: "Boss, my wife, I also know that your sister is going home in the next two days, and you are preparing to send back gifts. It's just that those pieces of satin are for the sake of your sixth brother.
It's up to him to decide what he wants to do with it, so you can't worry too much."
The eldest lady stood up in a hurry and said hurriedly: "Mom, you have wronged your daughter-in-law. She eats and uses the food from the house. She has only made her summer shirt for a few days and she hasn't even got up yet. She is always thinking about it.
How many pieces of cloth do you have? If you want it, tell the uncle in the letter, and you can still miss the wife? The wife is just happy for the sixth master. If the sixth master really has someone to like, my mother will have one less thing to worry about.
?”
The old lady glanced at her and waved her hand to sit down.
Then he said: "It would be great if that's the case. I'm afraid that he will act mischievously outside."
Several daughters-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that there was no worry on the old lady's face, they started to have fun around the old lady again.
The old lady was coaxed to forget her worries and started to giggle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
