The old butler's mood was still very low, but he did not waste any time in explaining: "I have also discussed with the restaurant owner the location of the banquet. Also, let's book a relatively remote private room. But just after I returned
When we arrived at the old house, the boy who was responsible for delivering gifts came back to reply. You would never have imagined what the boy said to me when he came back."
Shopkeeper Tian is helpless when it comes to the old butler's personality of not saying anything directly but instead telling you a part and waiting for you to guess. He also knows the old butler's problem with talking. If you don't talk to him now, he can keep waiting.
Go down, or talk about other things randomly, but in short, you won’t tell the things directly.
Now is not the time to get angry with the old housekeeper. Shopkeeper Tian reluctantly cooperated with him and said: "How can the young man talk? You just said this sentence and it won't work. It must be because of others.
The young man refused these gifts from us."
After saying this, Shopkeeper Tian felt that something was wrong. He continued to analyze, "That's not right. Considering the relationship between our family and Gong Jian's family, it is normal for us to come and send gifts. They should not refuse to accept it.
Ah, old housekeeper, what did that boy say in reply? How can he send a congratulatory gift? He can't handle such a simple thing?"
Shopkeeper Tian also realized that something was wrong about this matter. After all, neither family had concealed the previous incident. Although it was not widely publicized, some people knew that Gong Jian had indeed saved Tian a few months ago.
The eldest lady remembers it. As for the details, not many people may know it. Tian Ji did not publicize it everywhere. It only said that when the eldest lady was traveling, she encountered a bad guy and was rescued by Gong Jian.
Therefore, after Gong Jian and his family moved to the county, although Gong Jian was not able to come to Tian Ji's old house and meet Master Tian, the two families did not hide the fact that Shopkeeper Tian had some dealings with him.
This relationship with Tian Ji.
Based on the past analysis, it is impossible for Gong Jian to refuse Tian Ji's visit to send a congratulatory gift. After all, Gong Jian has also been admitted as a scholar. In a situation where the relationship between the two families is not far from each other, it is indeed appropriate to send a congratulatory gift to his door.
normal.
But the old housekeeper did say just now that their previous plan was not feasible. That means that Gong Jian's family rejected Tian Ji's gift, so their family's attitude was a bit strange. Shopkeeper Tian looked at it again and was still thinking about it.
Song's mother, who was worried about something, was thinking in her heart. Could something happen to Gong Jian's family?
Soon, the old housekeeper’s words dispelled this suspicion in Shopkeeper Tian’s mind. “Not all of their families rejected our gifts. Gong Jian’s family still accepted the things we sent to our door, and they also sent back gifts in return.
Jian's parents repeatedly said that we were too polite."
Hearing what the old butler said, Shopkeeper Tian was even more surprised. Isn't this a normal thing? Why are these two people looking sad now? Could it be that they are worried because of other things, but it doesn't look like it.
, this time shopkeeper Tian simply didn't speak. He just stared at the old housekeeper to see what flowers he was going to say.
Maybe it was because he was worried about other things, or he felt that Shopkeeper Tian was cooperative before, but this time the old housekeeper directly said what he wanted to say.
"Although their family accepted the things delivered to their door, they refused. We ordered a banquet for them in the restaurant. Do you think their family had any other ideas? Now that boy Gong Jian has also won the scholarship, I guess
In less than two days, the matchmaker who comes to their door will level the threshold of their family. So they don’t like our young lady anymore, do you think this is the case? "
Although the old butler said he was asking the shopkeeper Tian, in fact, after he finished speaking, he dropped his head and had no intention of listening to the shopkeeper's answer. Instead, he fell into his own thinking.
Shopkeeper Tian did not expect that Gong Jianjia actually accepted the congratulatory gift, but refused the banquet they arranged in the restaurant.
As I said before, Shopkeeper Tian feels that the banquet arranged by the old housekeeper is very reasonable. Although the old housekeeper also has selfish motives this time, in order to arrange for his young lady and Gong Jian to meet in private without others knowing, but at the same time
It can be regarded as the result of consideration for Gong Jian's family.
After all, Gong Jian was selected as a scholar. It was such a big event that his family had to celebrate it no matter what. However, it was a bit reluctant to set up a few tables for banquets in his small courtyard. Tian Ji proposed to book a few tables for them in the restaurant.
A banquet to facilitate their celebration should indeed be in line with their family's wishes. However, they did not expect that Tian Ji's intention was directly rejected by the Gong Jian family. It is no wonder that the old housekeeper had other ideas.
Shopkeeper Tian raised his head and looked at the two people whose faces were immersed in worries. He did not agree with the old butler's suspicion. He knew Gong Jian, the young shopkeeper Tian, very well. The two had been fighting for several years.
With all the dealings with him, Shopkeeper Tian can still vouch for that person's quality and moral character.
He raised his head in confusion, looked at the distressed old housekeeper, and said, "Old housekeeper, what are you talking about? Gong Jian's family rejected the banquet you ordered, which doesn't mean that his family has anything else.
Thoughts. You'd better tell me the content of that boy's reply in detail."
The old butler has been worried about this matter since the boy came back to reply. But when he heard Shopkeeper Tian rejecting his idea in such a relaxed tone, the old butler was really unhappy.
He wanted to object, but when he heard Shopkeeper Tian ask him to repeat what Xiao Si had said in reply, he felt angry and could only say blankly: "What else can I do? Come back and follow me.
They said that their family declined the banquet we had ordered at the restaurant. They said it was not necessary.
Listen, people have said that there is no need for banquets in the restaurant. Who knows if tomorrow they will say that our young lady is no longer needed. Huh, I'm just talking about this kind of mud-legged person.
Once he turns over, he immediately forgets his origins. Fortunately, we haven't assigned the young lady to him yet. If we had assigned the young lady to such a ruthless person, we wouldn't be in trouble now. If that were the case, I would probably want to kill myself.
."
Shopkeeper Tian didn't quite agree with the old housekeeper's angry remarks: "You'd better call that boy up and let's ask him carefully. I still think Gong Jian's family are not such villains who are unjust for profit."
.There must be some misunderstanding." (To be continued)
