Xi Rong was sweeping the floor in the yard, and Xi Zun was watering the flowers and plants.
The low-pitched conversation between the two people spread into the room.
"At the end of the year."
Xi Zun said, “We have to get out eventually, and procrastination is not the solution.
Xiaowuzi is worthy of use, let him come in instead of me when the time comes."
Xi Rong said: "It's hard to say whether I will still live here at the end of the year. The annex has been repaired and the swimming pool has been built.
If Mr. Qi and his wife move out, we won’t have to carefully select the servants."
"But you still have to choose who will serve you closely."
Xi Zun said.
Yun Qiao changed her clothes and went to the bathroom.
When she came out, Xi Zun had already gone to the big kitchen to bring the food.
Rice porridge, various kinds of pasta, and a few side dishes.
"How about eating whatever you want, Madam, and waiting for Master Qi to have dinner together?"
Xi Zun asked.
Yun Qiao said hello and asked him again, "Where has Master Qi gone?"
"I said I went out for a trip, but I didn't understand."
Xi Zundao.
Qi Ye’s original words were: My wife wants a child, so go out and get one for her.
Xi Zun felt that this was not a good thing to say. His wife would definitely want to hit Master Qi after hearing it.
The "child" my wife wants is definitely not something that Master Qi can get back just by going out.
If Master Qi has this idea, he might as well spend more time with his wife at home, and maybe he will have a child.
Yun Qiao asked him again while drinking porridge: "I just heard you talking to Brother Rong.
Have you and Changning decided to get married at the end of the year?"
Xi Zun was a little shy: "Yes, madam."
"Then I will also prepare a dowry for Chang Ning."
Yun Qiao said.
Xi Zun: "Uncle Qian will prepare it, you don't have to be busy."
"Uncle Qian belongs to Uncle Qian, and what belongs to me belongs to me.
Changning has been with me for many years, and I want to pay a share in the dowry."
Yun Qiao said, "How about I give you the money directly?"
Xi Zun: "..."
He suddenly understood where Changning's unreliability came from.
"...It would be great if you give me money and you can buy whatever you want.
What I’m most afraid of is people giving me a bunch of things I don’t like.”
Yun Qiao said.
Xi Zun: "That's because many people dote on you, and you are so merciless in receiving gifts all day long, so it's not unusual for you.
Some people still like to receive gifts and surprises."
“Wouldn’t it be more of a surprise to receive money?”
Yun Qiao said, "In this world, apart from the excitement of boys and girls, money and power are the most touching things."
Xi Zun: "..."
My wife is the most beautiful in the world, and whatever she says is the truth.
Dowry money seems to be very suitable.
"Ask Changning."
Xi Zun said, "If you are willing, she will be willing too."
Yun Qiao: "Chang Ning is definitely willing.
Money is easy to take care of, just deposit it in the bank and you're done.
If you give her a farm and a shop, she still needs to manage it; if you give her jewelry, it will be of no practical use."
Xi Zun: "You are right."
As expected, Master Qi understood his wife's laziness, so he paid the betrothal gift directly.
The seventh master is still wise.
The two of them had a wild conversation, not on the same line at all, but they had a great time chatting.
Yun Qiao ate a bowl of rice porridge and sat on the sofa to review her homework.
In the evening, the setting sun moved westward, and Xi Lanting returned.
He was carrying a basket in his hand.
There are some living things in the basket, one by one.
Xi Zun and Xi Rong looked at each other: Master Qi didn’t really pick up a child, right?
Yun Qiao went up to him: "What are you talking about?"
"for you."
He said, "You can be the mother of a cub."
Yun Qiao: "..."
Lifting the cloth on the basket, a furry head stuck out.
Xi Zun and Xi Rong looked up and breathed a sigh of relief together: it was a tabby cat.
The tabby cat was probably only half a month old. It was trembling and seemed to be unsteady on its feet. Its meowing sound was sweet, thin and soft.
"So cute."
Yun Qiao praised her, but felt a little disappointed in her heart.
To be honest, she doesn't like cats very much, and this cat isn't very good-looking either.
The color of the civet cat in the countryside is similar to this - there is a slight difference, but only a little.
"Master Qi, did you buy this kitten at the door of the wet market?"
Xi Zun also came over and said, "It's worthless at first glance. You can buy a nest for fifty cents."
Xi Rong paid tribute to his master: "This kind of cat is easy to raise, smart and strong, very understanding of human nature, and can also catch mice."
Xi Lanting listened to their words and suspected that he had raised a lot of fools.
