But what Shopkeeper Tian said did not move the old housekeeper. He still sat there angrily. He simply felt that Shopkeeper Tian was extremely confused and had not yet understood the true nature of Gong Jian's family.
After thinking about it over and over again, Shopkeeper Tian still couldn't figure out what the servant of Gong Jian's family meant when he said it was not necessary. Moreover, this was just a casual saying by the servant. Who knows what this person said?
Did he really care about it, and did he really mean what he said?
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't want to believe what Gong Jian's family's attitude towards their Tian Ji was, or fundamentally speaking, Gong Jian's determination to marry their young lady.
Change.
There was really no other way, so he could only raise his head and turn to the old housekeeper and Song Ma again, looking at those two people for help, hoping to get some breakthrough from them.
Although the old butler had calmed down at this time, his thoughts had not changed. So even though he was no longer so angry and resentful, he had no other thoughts. He was still waiting for Tian
Shopkeeper, give him some evidence to prove that the Gong Jian family does not have the thoughts he just imagined. How could he help Shopkeeper Tian solve the problem?
And Song Ma's eyes were also blank. She couldn't understand what the attitude of Gong Jian's family was. From the words described by the boy, it was impossible to tell that Gong Jian's family had anything to do with Tian Ji.
Opinion. After all, Gong Jian's father had been very polite and enthusiastic from the beginning when he entertained this young man. Although he finally rejected Tian Ji's proposal, he also thanked Tian Ji again and again for this.
Kindhearted.
As the old housekeeper said, Gong Jian's family had second thoughts and wanted to reject Tian Ji. However, the attitude of Gong Jian's father and his servants was different. However, if they didn't have other ideas,
How could they refuse such a good proposal from Tian Ji? This was obviously a good solution that could solve their family's biggest problem at the moment.
Could it be that Gong Jian’s family feels that since their son is now a scholar, their family should go to a restaurant to customize a banquet to celebrate instead of accepting Tian Ji’s kindness in vain. If this is the case, Song’s mother feels that both parties
It's not that hard to accept if you communicate.
I didn't say it before, but now that Gong Jian has been selected as a scholar, his family's status has obviously improved a lot, so it is understandable that he has his own say in deciding this matter and doing it in his own way.
So although she received a look of help from Shopkeeper Tian, Song Ma didn't say anything. She felt that it was too early to say anything now, and they needed to see the next move of the Gong Jian family before they could make a judgment.
When Shopkeeper Tian saw that the two people didn't say anything, he just waved his hands helplessly, intending to let the boy exit, and then the three of them carefully said what they thought in their hearts. But just before the boy
When he turned around to leave, shopkeeper Tian suddenly remembered something. He temporarily asked the servant to come back and asked, "Did you just say that Gong Jian's family had a return gift? What was the return gift?"
When the servant heard this question, he immediately replied: "The return gift from Gong Jian's family is some wedding cakes. I heard that the servant said that Gong Jian's mother and sister made them together. Although the gift is very light, it also represents that their family
I hope everyone can share their happiness."
The old housekeeper had already known about the return gift. When he heard the boy's reply, he thought they were just ordinary wedding cakes and did not ask in detail. Only now did he know that these wedding cakes were actually Gong Jian's.
My mother and sister made it together, which has a different meaning than usual.
Now, the old housekeeper is a little shaken. After all, the return gift to his family can be something made by Gong Jian's mother and sister. It can be seen that his family still values the return gift. It also means that they still care about Tian Ji very much.
Pay attention to.
Somewhat anxiously, the old housekeeper asked from the side: "Then, is this gift specially prepared for our Tian Ji, or is everyone like this?"
The young man quickly replied: "The same goes for the people who came to the door before. They all have wedding cakes like this, so everyone should be the same. And I saw that the servants of the Gong family also took a lot of wedding cakes like this and distributed them.
We arrived at the neighbor’s house.”
Hearing that the gift his family received in return was not unique, the old housekeeper felt depressed again, but did not ask any more questions.
Shopkeeper Tian signaled for Xiao Si to leave, and as soon as the boy left, he immediately smiled, turned to the old housekeeper and Song Ma, and said, "Okay, you all understand this matter now. I just said that the old housekeeper is too impatient.
Yes. This matter is completely different from what you think."
As soon as he heard what Shopkeeper Tian said, the old housekeeper was not happy at first. He stood up and retorted: "Why is it different? Lao Tian, why don't you tell me what's different? Then Gong Jian's family just rejected us.
It's a good intention, and the wedding cake they sent back is no different from other people's. I can't see why they treat our Tian Ji in any special way."
The words of the old housekeeper made Mr. Tian dumbfounded. He said that once the matter had something to do with the young lady, the old housekeeper would lose his normalcy. He was usually such a sophisticated and capable person, but now he had no idea.
Shopkeeper Tian didn't criticize her, and turned to Mother Song directly: "Mother Song, do you think so too?"
Looking at her head, Song Ma just smiled slightly. She shook her head first, and then said: "I'm still a little unclear now, but I think I should observe the next actions of Gong Jian's family before making a judgment.
"
Listening to Song Ma's answer, Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but nodded. Judging from Song Ma's cautious principles of doing things, this answer was completely in line with her wishes.
Over there, the somewhat depressed old butler couldn't understand Shopkeeper Tian's relaxed attitude. He couldn't help but said: "Speaking of Lao Tian, what are you thinking? It's better to speak up quickly. Otherwise, because of this
This thing will make me feel uncomfortable these days."
Shopkeeper Tian knows the old butler well. He said this, and it also means that if he doesn't understand it today, the old butler is probably just as he said, and he will not be easy in the past few days.
Thinking of it, the shopkeeper couldn't help but show a reassuring smile: "Old housekeeper, don't be anxious. Once I explain it clearly, you won't have to worry about this matter, let alone feel uncomfortable." (To be continued)
