Chapter 169 169: Two-pronged approach (first update)

Author: Dream Builder

As soon as Chang Xi finished speaking, Mrs. Qian laughed out loud and then said, "Ms. Chang's words are really new. I've only heard that good tea should be paired with good cakes, but never heard that good tea should be paired with good cakes."

To match the story? I wonder if my mother-in-law and my fourth brother and sister have ever heard this saying?" She turned directly to look at Rong and Qin.

No matter how bad Chang Xi is, she is still Xie Jin's wife. Qin's defense on this issue is, "Second sister-in-law, it's because you are ignorant and don't know. You haven't seen the teahouse opposite our house and now I heard that it is still there."

I invited a storyteller to sit in the restaurant, and I ordered whatever I wanted to hear, and he can talk about everything."

Being bullied by Mrs. Qin in this way, Mrs. Qian's face instantly became unpleasant. She could only drink tea to cover it up, but in her heart she scolded Mrs. Qin bloody.

Mrs. Qin, please don't be complacent now. When her second son reaches high school, will she feel proud again when she sees her fourth son?

By then, among the four-bedroom people, only her fourth-bedroom family will be the most backward.

The three daughters-in-law have long been used to seeing their mother-in-law being beaten into silence.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife, Mrs. Yang even glanced at Mrs. Qian to express her sympathy; Mrs. Di, the second son's daughter-in-law, secretly pouted. This mother-in-law could not compete with the fourth aunt every time, but she still wanted to provoke her unbelievingly. It was simply

Deserve it.

As for Mr. Bai, she didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, when she was wronged before, her mother-in-law didn't necessarily stand up for her. Why should she care and sympathize with her?

If you have this free time, why not drink two more bowls of tea.

The old god of the Rong family was sitting on the Diaoyutai. The Qian family became arrogant when they were proud of themselves. They couldn't get the things on the table, and the disgust in their hearts arose again. It was really tiring to even look at it.

She waved to Chang Xi and motioned for her to come to her.

Chang Xi would say this. She had already predicted the reactions of Rong and Qin. These two people would not easily demolish her. One had scruples in her heart and the other had a protective temper, so Qian's actions were just selfish.

Just take it as a humiliation.

Now seeing Mrs. Rong waving her over, she smiled and walked to her side calmly, "Old Madam."

Rong smiled and asked her to sit next to him, patted her hand and said, "So, you have a good story here?"

Chang Xi smiled and said, "The old lady is complimenting me. I don't know anything. It's just like what the fourth lady said. Seeing that other teahouses have such services, I just want to imitate them. It's ridiculous."

Saying such words in an elegant manner, Rong still looked at her one more time, feeling sorry for her humble background again. If she could make up for this, the Jie family would not hesitate to entrust her with it.

"You are being too modest. If you hear something interesting, it's okay to say so. Everyone is having fun behind closed doors anyway, so it won't spread outside."

When Chang Xi heard what Rong said, he immediately said, "What I heard are all rumors from the countryside. In fact, it is difficult to reach the level of elegance. Why don't I ask a few young ladies to tell me one."

Yang and Di sat silently, but Bai was the one who gave the honor and said, "Then let me give you some advice."

Chang Xi was not surprised that Mrs. Bai jumped out to pick up on her words, so she clapped her hands and said, "Very good, Mrs. Eighth Young Master, please."

Mrs. Bai cleared her throat and began to talk. She was telling a joke about stealing a fan. She must have heard it from the market. It had a strong smell of fireworks, and the twist at the end made people laugh.

Mrs. Rong didn't expect Mrs. Bai's jokes to be so interesting. In the past, she only regarded her as a vulgar woman, but she really misjudged her. After laughing enough, she said to Mrs. Bai, "I'll come over to you if I want to hear a joke later."

Talk about it last time."

Mrs. Bai was overjoyed when she heard this. Being able to please the old lady was a big bargaining chip for her, so she stood up and saluted, "Don't dare to disobey your grandmother's call."

Mrs. Rong heard Mr. Bai's elegant way of speaking and knew that she was using her skills to make up for her shortcomings in private. She was finally satisfied with this grandson-in-law, so her eyes were extraordinarily kind and kind, "Good boy, grandma took note of it."

Mr. Bai sat down happily.

Yang and Di exchanged glances at the side. They both felt a little sour when Rong praised Bai in such a way. In the past, Bai was always at the bottom of their list.

"Then let me tell you a country rumor to make the old lady smile." Chang Xi said with a smile.

"Tell me." Mrs. Rong noticed the interest and immediately spoke in a dignified manner.

Chang Xi refilled the old lady's tea and said, "This is a rumor I heard from the countryside some time ago. I don't know whether it is true or false..."

The story is actually very simple. It says that there is a little-known temple in the countryside. There is nothing better than it. Every year during the peach blossom season, the peach blossom tree in the temple blooms beautifully, and many people come to admire it.

One year, a poor scholar came to stay in the temple, thinking that he could save some accommodation money while studying, which would solve his urgent need.

It was okay at first, because the scholar studied very seriously every night, but after falling asleep, he met a young woman in his dream. This woman claimed to be the transformation of the peach blossom tree in the temple, and because of her predestined relationship with the scholar, she was so special.

Come and have a tryst in your dreams.

How could this scholar refuse such an affair when he saw it? Besides, it was a dream, and outsiders didn't know about it, so they became even more unscrupulous.

The next day, the scholar watered the peach blossom tree himself, looking at the tree like a lover.

However, as time passed, the scholar became sallow, thin, and mentally depressed. On the contrary, the peach blossom tree that he watered every day bloomed better.

Before the story was finished, Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Ms. Chang, this story sounds like something that happened in a scholar's dream at first, but to me it sounds like the scholar was having an affair with someone, and he made up this story to cover it up."

Mr. Rong nodded, "I think it's the same thing, just like some scholars who lie to their families that they are studying seriously, but in private they do shameful things. All of them are polite scum."

"Grandma is absolutely right." Mrs. Bai quickly agreed.

Mrs. Yang couldn't see that Mrs. Bai was stealing the show today, so she joined the discussion, "Most of the people who are unfaithful are scholars, and those who are righteous are mostly dog-slaughters. My grandson's daughter-in-law thinks there is some truth in this."

Anyway, the men in her family will never get to go to high school in this life, so she has no worries about saying this.

Only Sitting Di felt his heart skip a beat. The man in his family had moved to a remote area of ​​the house in order to study peacefully. He said that this way, no one would disturb him, so that his mind could be clear enough to memorize a few more pages.

But she had never doubted that, although she was worried about her husband, she did not bother him too much because she was afraid that it would distract him from studying and cause him to miss high school this time, which would be more of a loss than a gain.

Doubts in your heart are like seeds, once they are dropped they will take root and sprout.

Chang Xi's eyes were secretly looking at Di, not missing every change of expression on her face. After seeing her hand tightening on the tea bowl, she withdrew her gaze. What she wanted was to provoke Di.

The string in my heart, once I achieve my goal, I won’t look at it any more.

However, Ms. Di didn't want people to see what she was thinking, so she also said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. This scholar knows more about etiquette, justice and shame than that dog-slaughterer."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang knew that her words had poked Di's lungs. Seeing that she was unhappy would make her feel better. Why did Mrs. Di seem to ignore her, her third sister-in-law, recently?

, the man is not even in high school yet, he has raised his tail first, what the hell.

Qian was frightened when she heard this. She glanced at Chang Xi subconsciously and asked, did she tell this story unintentionally or on purpose?

Chang Xi felt that Mrs. Qian was looking at her, so she raised her head and glanced at Mr. Qian with a confused look on her face, her eyes were as innocent as they were.

Mrs. Qian hurriedly averted her gaze. Although Ms. Chang was a bit evil, she probably told this story unintentionally. She had no connections and no foundation in this house. What could she know?

She was being too preoccupied. When she thought about it, she looked at those daughters-in-law with dissatisfaction. What nonsense were they talking about? Especially Di, looking back, she needed to give her a beating.

Chang Xi saw that this topic had aroused heated discussion and hurriedly said, "It seems that the story I told is inappropriate, so let's tell another one so that everyone can have fun."

"It's okay to change to another one," Qin said.

Chang Xi hurriedly agreed, and then told a country joke like Bai's did, and everyone started laughing again, as if the controversy and discussion just now did not exist.

It's just that everything in the world, as long as it has happened, cannot be regarded as non-existent.

As soon as the tea tasting party ended, Chang Xi did not leave immediately. Instead, she talked to Mr. Qin for a while. When she saw that Ms. Qin was tired, she said goodbye.

This time it was Hongxiu who sent her out.

When Chang Xi glanced at her, Hongxiu knew that Chang Xi had something to say to her, so she stepped forward and grabbed the job.

After leaving everyone's sight, Chang Xi whispered to Hong Xiu, "You will find an opportunity to go to the guest house to see Miss Shi San later, and tell her that the Fourth Madam intends to bring me and Jie Jiuye into consummation in the near future."

Hearing this, Hongxiu exclaimed in low voice and looked at Chang Xi. What does this mean?

Naturally, Chang Xi would not say that she was trying to stimulate Shi Bichi to act quickly, but smiled and said, "Just do as you do, and the benefits that should be given to you will not be less."

Hongxiu was actually threatened by Shi Bichi recently. If she wanted to frame the Chang family like before, forget it, but this time Shi Bichi wanted her to poison the Chang family. How could she dare to accept such a thing?

Because of this, I hid from Shi Bichi for quite some time.

Now that Mrs. Chang wanted her to get close to Shi Bichi again, she didn't dare to say no. After all, she had the leverage in Mrs. Chang's hands. If Madam really knew that she was cheating on him, she would also be in trouble.

After a final weighing, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll sneak out and talk to Miss Shi San about this later."

Chang Xi achieved his goal, and then Shi Shiran left.

Shi Bichi was very irritable, especially after hearing what Hongxiu said, she couldn't hide the anger and jealousy on her face.

Seeing this, Hongxiu couldn't help but take a few steps back. For the first time, she understood clearly that Miss Shi San liked Master Jiu, no wonder she wanted to torture Mr. Chang to death.
