Now it was Shopkeeper Tian's turn to laugh and cry: "That's true, I did meet Gong Jian that day, and I told you about it when I came back. But I haven't met the lady, let alone the boy Gong Jian, and even Mr. Tian Ji
I don’t know where I live. How could you connect these two things together?”
Hearing what he said, the old housekeeper stiffened his neck and said, "I don't care. Anyway, in my opinion, just because I just heard the news from Gong Jian here, there are signs of improvement on the young lady's side. All of this is
It’s happened twice. The young lady’s condition improved before, and both times were related to that boy Gong Jian. This is a fact. Tell me, isn’t this the truth?”
Shopkeeper Tian and Mother Song looked at each other in confusion. They never expected that the old housekeeper would connect these two unrelated things. But now neither of them knew how to object. After all, these two things were
It really didn't matter, but the timing was a coincidence. Although they didn't think that the old housekeeper's words were right, they didn't raise any objections.
After all, in the hearts of these two people, they always hope that their young lady's condition will improve, and even hope that one day, Miss Tian can return to a normal life.
Therefore, for a moment, the three people in the lobby were silent in tacit understanding. After a while, it was shopkeeper Tian who finally sighed first, and then said to the old housekeeper in a somewhat broken voice: "Okay, I will listen to you, what do you say?
Tell me, how should I let the young lady and Gong Jian meet like this?"
Before the old housekeeper could answer, Song Ma over there had already told her: "This matter must be done secretly. I don't want this matter to affect our young lady's reputation."
Regarding these words, Shopkeeper Tian expressed his support, "Yes, if we make it known in a big way that the young lady met Gong Jian, a young young man, in private, what will other people say about our young lady?"
Now in Tian Ji's old house, you don't have Mr. Tian to control you. Even though shopkeeper Tian has a good relationship with Gong Jian, he cannot directly recruit Gong Jian to the old house in his own name. The owner here is nominally
Now she is Miss Tian. If a young youngster like Gong Jian comes to visit, others will inevitably notice her. By then, everything will change in the mouths of those with bad intentions.
But for things like going out to meet people, in Miss Tian's case, it is impossible to be too secretive. So how can the two of them meet without being discovered by others is a big problem.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but feel regretful again. After all, during the New Year, Mr. Tian rarely returned to his old house. At that time, Mr. Tian had obviously agreed to meet Gong Jian, but who knew that something suddenly happened in Beijing?
The master had to leave early and thus missed the opportunity to meet the young man Gong Jian.
If at that time, Gong Jian was recruited to Tian Jiji's old house in the name of Mr. Tian, then everything would be a matter of course.
But now there is no way. No matter how you say it, Shopkeeper Tian is just a shopkeeper of Tianji. In the eyes of others, he is just a servant of the Tian family. Therefore, although he can move around the old house unimpeded
Although he has contacts with others, he does not have the right to entertain an outsider. What's more, this outsider has just become a newly promoted scholar. Everyone's eyes will now more or less stay on the rookie Gong Jian.
At this time, it is indeed difficult for Gong Jian and Miss Tian to meet each other without anyone noticing.
After listening to Shopkeeper Tian talk about this problem, he threw the problem to the old butler without any psychological pressure. After all, this proposal was made by the old butler, so he didn't need to worry about how to implement it as an outsider. He was about to
Let's see how the old butler ends up making such a proposal that is completely contrary to his past style.
As for this issue, Song's mother is completely neutral. She is not very opposed to the meeting between the young lady and Gong Jian. After all, at that time, when the young lady was recuperating at Gong Jian's home, the opportunity for the two to meet should be
Quite a few.
Although there were other family members at Gong Jian's house at that time, from what Song's mother saw at Gong Jian's house that day, she could tell that Gong Jian, the young man, really put the young lady at the top of his heart.
Seeing that that afternoon, even when he was talking to himself, his eyes would always glance towards the young lady unconsciously. It can be seen how much this young man cares about the young lady.
So Song's mother did not object to the old housekeeper's proposal, but she did not actively think about how to deal with it, how to prevent others from being aware of this matter, and what kind of gossip it would cause. Her only principle was to insist on the old housekeeper's suggestion.
You must be careful when doing things and don't let others notice it, otherwise it will affect the lady's reputation.
The old butler looked at the two people over there with some pride. They had no choice but to look at him helplessly. He felt very happy in his heart. Look, these two people have really encountered something now.
Instead, I have no idea and have to rely on myself to be the mainstay.
He really hadn't thought about it. Of course, he had been thinking about his proposal for several days. From the proposal to the subsequent response, it seemed to be very perfect, unlike Shopkeeper Tian and Song Ma who had just heard it.
Regarding my proposal, I have not raised any objections now, which is already a good response. How can I let them come up with any solution?
The old butler couldn't control so much. Now he said proudly: "This is not easy. You two are usually very smart. Why are you acting so funny today?"
Shopkeeper Tian and Song Ma looked at each other again. Because of the old housekeeper’s teasing, they both acted as if they didn’t hear it. There was no way, the older the old housekeeper got, the more he acted like an old child. Sometimes, there was really no way to get too close to him.
Calculate carefully.
Now seeing how he was so proud and showing off in front of the two of them, Song Ma and Shopkeeper Tian both chose to remain silent. They both wanted to see what kind of commotion the old housekeeper was planning to make today.
Fortunately, the old butler still remembered that he had something big to announce today, so this time he just returned to the topic after a brief moment of pride and told everything about his plan.
The old housekeeper talked about his plan with great interest: "Didn't Song Ma remind me just now that since Gong Jian is now a scholar, and he is our lady's savior, in any case, our Tian Mansion should also give him a gift
Send me gifts, come to my door and congratulate you.” (To be continued)
