Chapter 140: To please both ends
Faced with Chai Jingzi's forced marriage, Shishu refused to agree to anything. In the end, Qin Xinyi relented and agreed to plead with her grandfather. That evening, Qin Yunhou went to bed early and was reading in the study.
After Qin Xinyi learned about it, she came to the study and walked in directly, shouting coquettishly: "Grandpa!"
Qin Yunhou was very happy to see his precious granddaughter. He looked at her and asked, "It's Xin'er! Do you have anything to do with grandpa?"
Qin Xinyi didn't explain her purpose at first, but pretended to say: "I'm here to see grandpa! Why didn't you take care of business today?"
Qin Yunhou put down the book and replied pointedly: "I am the examiner for next year's exam. I haven't read these books for a long time. Let's review them!".
Qin Xinyi came over and looked at her pretendingly. Qin Yunhou still knew that she had something to ask of him. He looked at Qin Xinyi and said specifically: "I heard that the Xia family was going to promise Xia Xunqiu to Tang Tong, so they met at the Cao Mansion."
.
Qin Xinyi was taken aback, pretending to be disapproving and said: "It's none of my business."
Qin Yunhou saw the obvious surprise on Qin Xinyi's face, and then said: "I can't marry Lan Tingshu. Under Xia Zhan's pressure, Xia Xunqiu chose Tang Tong, but Tang Tong and Lan Tingshu have a good relationship. Do you believe it?"
?”.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xinyi knew that her grandfather was trying to wake her up, and she didn't seem to care, "Grandpa is saying that Xia Xunqiu chose Tang Tong specifically to get rid of Chen Dingxian?"
Qin Yunhou still admired his granddaughter's intelligence and nodded with satisfaction. Qin Xinyi said doubtfully: "But you can obviously refuse!".
"This is the difference between a person being smart or not. If you want to get along in the capital, how can you not give Xia Zhan face?"
Qin Xinyi understood that Tang Tong had no choice but to do this. Looking at the capital, even grandpa would not dare not give Xia Zhan face, let alone the little Tang Tong. While Qin Xinyi was thinking about it, Qin Yunhou said again: "I heard that Tang Tong is interested in you.
?”.
Of course, Qin Xinyi refused to admit it and said: "That's not the case!".
Qin Yunhou did not pursue the matter in detail, and explained his words: "I don't want to think about this person anymore! He has fallen into Cao Tong's clutches and cannot stand up." Qin Xinyi was a little confused and wanted to ask again. Qin Yunhou declined politely: "Grandpa, still
If you want to read a book, let’s go!”.
Now Qin Xinyi had to talk about Shi Shu, so she took Qin Yunhou's right arm and said, "Shi Shu doesn't want to marry Commander Chai, Grandpa! Can you just cancel this marriage?".
When Qin Yunhou saw that his granddaughter finally couldn't help but beg him, he said naturally: "There is no need to cancel the engagement!".
Qin Xinyi thought that her grandfather did not want to retreat, so she continued to shake Qin Yunhou's hand, "Just agree!".
Unexpectedly, Qin Yunhou quickly replied, "I said there was no need to back off because the Chai family broke off the engagement first."
Qin Xinyi was very happy when she heard this, and asked in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Qin Yunhou didn't know why and could only shake his head, "This afternoon Commander Chai came to me and said that Mrs. Chai didn't agree, so he could only compromise. He also said a lot of good things, so I didn't care about it anymore."
Qin Xinyi also found it strange that Mrs. Chai had agreed before, but why she suddenly changed her mind was really puzzling. Now that the matter has a happy ending, there is no need to pay attention to it anymore.
Qin Xinyi was thinking about this all the way back, but she still couldn't figure it out. When she returned to her small courtyard, she said in front of the four people holding the piano, playing chess, serving the book, and entering the painting: "The Chai family has broken off the engagement today, and the serving
Shu doesn’t have to marry into the Chai family!”.
After staying for a long time, they all had an inseparable bond. The three of them were all happy for Shi Shu, and they all cheered loudly and jumped up. After hearing this, Shi Shu, who was forgetful, said inadvertently: "I knew he would do it."
Good thing!".
Baoqin saw that Shi Shu had no idea what he was saying, and asked in confusion: "Who do you think he is?".
Seeing that he had made a mistake, the waiter immediately changed his mind and said, "Of course it's the master!".
Ru Hua laughed and said: "You can just say that I am too old." All three of them congratulated the servant.
But this matter did not escape Qin Xinyi's eyes, and soon she excused the three people holding Qin away, leaving one person who was the servant, "Did you tell Tang Tong about this?"
The servant did not expect that the young lady would know about this, so he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and replied: "It was my second sister-in-law who told him, and it was not my wish."
Qin Xinyi was very angry, "Can't I help you?".
The servant was a little aggrieved and quickly waved his hand, "I told the lady that I didn't want to marry, and you still persuaded me that I can only ask Mr. Tang."
Qin Xinyi didn't expect that the servant would call Tang Tong son. It seemed that this girl had selfish intentions for Tang Tong. Thinking of her grandfather's words again, she wondered whether Tang Tong, who was trapped in the quagmire, could survive this disaster. She couldn't help but feel uneasy and wanted to
To inquire about Tang Tong's situation, she could only rely on the servant to handle the matter, and the following would not make it difficult for her.
The secretary came to the Tang Mansion the next day and welcomed her to the living room like a distinguished guest. Tang Tong was not there, so Chen Xiao came out to greet her with a smile, "Miss the secretary! You haven't been here for a long time."
The attendant quickly saluted, "Hello, Sister Chen!"
Chen Xiao was still looking good and greeted him politely: "Sit down! Our master has gone to the military camp. Butler Jing should send someone to call him. Wait a minute!".
The waiter sat down and asked casually: "What is Sister Chen busy with?"
Chen Xiao said with a smile on his face: "What can I do, just take care of Hu Zi! Miss Shi Shu wants to know what our master is doing, right?" After hearing this, Shi Shu blushed a little, Chen Xiao continued: "What are you doing outside, master?"
I don’t know much about it, but I come back to read late every day and prepare to take the imperial examination.”
The servant listened carefully, but did not dare to look at Chen Xiao and let her talk alone. Chen Xiao said tentatively: "We don't dare to ask about the master. If the servant girl opens her mouth, the master will not blame her!".
The servant quickly excused himself, "It's not that magical. He just wanted to find out about our lady through me."
Chen Xiao was a little eager and couldn't wait to say, "Miss Shu, you should help our master more!".
"Of course!", the servant nodded hurriedly.
Chen Xiao said appreciatively with a smile: "As long as Miss Qin becomes our wife, I will not treat the girl badly!".
The waiter didn't know what to say and could only remain silent. Chen Xiao stared at the waiter and said, "The waiter is so beautiful, so how much more should Miss Qin know how to write and be polite, and be as beautiful as a fairy?"
The servant replied truthfully: "Our lady is introverted and not good at communicating, but she still has Mr. Tang in her heart. It's just that our great master and the master don't agree, but I believe that Mr. Tang will find a way."
Chen Xiao nodded and expressed his opinion. "Like the imperial examination high school, our master will definitely come to propose marriage. I hope it can come true!" The servant also felt the same and nodded in agreement.
Tang Tong rushed back in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived in the living room, he said: "The girl serving as the clerk is here!".
The servant stood up quickly and saluted, "Thank you Mr. Tang for saving me!".
Tang Tong also quickly waved his hand, "It's a big effort, why bother saying thank you!".
Chen Xiao was very understanding, "I still have something to do, let's talk about it!" Tang Tong nodded and watched Chen Xiao leave.
When I sat down on my seat, I saw that the waiter was still standing, so I greeted him, "Miss Shishu, sit down!". After seeing the waiter sitting down, he asked, "Miss Qin, do you have something to ask?".
The servant wanted to whet Tang Tong's appetite, "You are so confident. I have something to ask Mr. Tang."
Tang Tong stretched out his hand and said, "Please speak!".
The servant was not polite, "How did Mr. Tang get Commander Chai to break off the engagement?"
"The clerk girl really wants to know?"
The servant nodded, and Tang Tong had no choice but to say, "It's nothing. I'm just trying to demonize you to seize the position of the principal wife, and with the backing of the Qin government. The main one, Chai Jingzi, has the handle in the hands of his wife."
, how dare you disobey!".
"What's the handle?".
Tang Tong smiled evilly and shook his head, "It's a dirty thing. It's better that the waitress doesn't know about it!" The waiter thought about it and stopped asking. This matter was really thanks to Tang Tong, as Chai Jingzi insisted on Qin.
The family will definitely sacrifice itself.
Shishu returned to the subject and asked in a critical tone: "Now tell me about you and Xia Xunqiu!".
"I fell into Xia Xunqiu's trap and became her shield. Xia Xunqiu also clearly said that he was using me." Tang Tong explained quickly, with a look of grievance on his face.
The servant came to ask questions on behalf of Qin Xinyi, and the routine was agreed upon. He asked according to the script: "Why don't you refuse?".
"Xia Zhan and Cao Tong didn't even dare to offend Mr. Qin Ge lightly, let alone a small official like me. I can only agree first and then think of a solution!" Tang Tong said that they were wronged and almost kowtowed.
Seeing Tang Tong's aggrieved look, the servant couldn't help but find it funny. But he asked sternly: "Tell me what you have in mind!".
Tang Tong defended himself solemnly, "When it comes to emotional matters, there is no clever solution. We can only take it one step at a time. I advise Xia Xunqiu to go on a hunger strike. It should be effective, right?"
When the secretary heard about this, he took out all these damaging tricks. It seemed that Tang Tong was also at his wits end, so he couldn't help but worry about whether it would be effective. Then he asked, "If it doesn't work, what should you do?"
Tang Tong raised his hands and swore, "Quit! Quit resolutely! Miss Qin is the only one in my heart."
"Our young lady will definitely be very touched when she sees you looking like this!" the servant said with a mocking tone.
Tang Tong breathed a long sigh of relief, "You don't know my difficulties. Now I am a rat in the bellows and I don't know what to do!".
Nazhi Shishu looked at him and was very worried, "I can understand! But if our lady and Xia Xunqiu don't deal with each other, we may lose both of them, and one person will have a bad reputation."
Tang Tong suddenly stood up and walked to the clerk, "You understand me best!" He said that he was going to grab the hand of the clerk. The clerk shook off Tang Tong's hand and scolded: "Be more serious! I am the representative."
Miss, talk to you."...
Tang Tong had no choice but to sit back in his original seat, and the servant said seriously: "I hope you can resolve the matter with Xia Xunqiu as soon as possible, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!" He no longer had the reserve of the past.
Tang Tong nodded quickly, "I will do it quickly! I won't let Miss Qin down!" After finishing the question, the servant put down his airs. He began to worry about whether Tang Tong could get out of this mess, and looked at Tang Tong with a dull look. Tang Tong
