"Creak!" The door opened and closed, and Shui Fu led the Sheng family. Mo Yuanyuan winked, and Shui Zhi immediately stepped forward to pour tea and water: "Old Mrs. Sheng is here, please take a seat."
Mrs. Sheng was not polite and accepted the gift in a big way. She took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the other side of the low couch. Sheng Mingxuan and his wife were moved to the bottom and sat on both sides of the small table. The child didn't follow anyone, just wearing shoes.
He stepped on the couch and huddled with his grandmother.
The master of Lengxiang Pavilion was displeased, and even Shuizhi frowned, but suppressed it without making a move. Mrs. Sheng grabbed the teacup, took a big sip, smacked her lips, and put it back with a heavy hand.
On the couch table, she turned to Shuizhi unceremoniously and asked Shuizhi to refill it for her.
"Old Mrs. Sheng likes this tea, so just drink more. There is no shortage of tea in Lengxiang Pavilion." Mo Shangyuan smiled lightly and nodded, turning slightly sideways to negotiate with Mrs. Sheng, "I know you don't want to come here.
It's easy, people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets, I already understood the reason yesterday, it's because your son has been appreciated by the officials and he wants to work in the government office?"
As he said this, the master of Lengxiang Pavilion turned his eyes and looked at Sheng Mingxuan. This was said tactfully, and the speaker had the upper hand. The latter was not as aggressive as yesterday and looked vulgar, so he had no choice but to say so.
He put on a somewhat embarrassed smile and said yes with a haha.
Mrs. Sheng Yang also accompanied her with a few polite words, but it was Mrs. Sheng who couldn't stand the praise the most, and started to talk too much, but was stopped by Sheng Mingxuan with a look. The master and servant of Mo Yuanyuan had a panoramic view of the whole process, and they had exchanged words inadvertently.
After looking at it, I feel more confident in my heart.
"That's very good. Qiu Xiao girl has a poor background, and I have heard about the Sheng family's affairs." Mo Zhanyuan smiled and continued: "Of course, my family is in decline, so I have no choice but to manage this business. Naturally,
I can understand the difficulty of being in charge of a household."
When it came to this point, the master of Lengxiang Pavilion paused deliberately and looked deeply at Old Mrs. Sheng. The other party didn't know what was going on, so he only heard Mo Yuanyuan's solemn tone and said: "Sister, I have worked hard to help my son grow up. Isn't it good?"
It's easy to have hope, so you should make more preparations to make this matter more secure, so that you won't end up with someone else taking that good job. I feel wronged for your family."
The entire speech was watertight from beginning to end, and every expression was impeccable and thoughtful, leaving no room for the Sheng family to interrupt. Old Mrs. Sheng was so anxious that she almost started scratching her head and ears in front of her. She opened her mouth several times to speak, but was immediately blocked again.
I was stuck talking, so I could only pick up the teacup and drink tea, trying to save some face.
"Um, I..." Mrs. Sheng drank tea like a cow. After a while, she had already finished two cups. She finally took a chance to speak out. The words were still swirling in her throat. The master of Lengxiang Pavilion had already raised his eyebrows and smiled.
, waving his hand to signal to the Sheng family to calm down.
"I understand what Old Madam Sheng is going to say." Mo Zhanyuan frowned, with disdain hidden deep in his eyes. On the surface, he was still warm: "I always have to work under others, and I always have to take care of things. It's just the other side.
No matter how much work you put in, it is not as effective as having someone of your own who can serve and accompany you at all times and say a few thoughtful words to your master."
These words seemed to be reasonable and pandering, but in fact they were not shameful. They were a naked satire of the Sheng family for selling their daughters to seek glory. The two grandsons of the old Sheng could not tell the difference, but Sheng Mingxuan and his wife blushed and shouted several times.
, seeing the old woman nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and having already gone around, she could only get anxious, simply twist her neck, bite her cheek and endure it again and again.
Mo Zhangyuan just pretended to be oblivious: "Qiu Xiao has been in my Lengxiang Pavilion for many years. She is obedient and sensible. I also love her dearly and hope that she will have a good home in the future. I think that my old sister is hers."
It must be for her own good that my mother brought money, brought her whole family, and took her out in all glory."
"Yes, yes, madam, it is true. The flesh that fell off my body will not hurt me." Mrs. Sheng thought that the master of Lengxiang Pavilion would relent, and she was so excited that she respected what she said, "Well, then you see
We still have the ransom money with us. We came to the city before dawn and waited to take her home. After getting her dowry, we went out. In the future, we entered the palace of an official, which would naturally be a blessing. You see, this
...How about calling her over?"
Perhaps she was overly excited. Mrs. Sheng tightened her arms and clasped her fingers unconsciously. She almost forgot that she still had her precious little grandson in her arms. The child was strangled and screamed "Ouch, ouch, ouch".
Mrs. Sheng suddenly noticed it and quickly let go of her hand. She was afraid that her grandson would run around and disturb the good thing that was about to be obtained, so she did not dare to let go. She hurriedly grabbed a piece of snacks on the table and stuffed it, and finally had a moment to calm down.
"You hozen, why are you so ignorant..." Just after he cursed, Old Mrs. Sheng stopped and looked up at the opposite side. The master of Lengxiang Pavilion drank tea calmly and did not take into account the gaffes of his grandfather and grandson.
In the eyes; and then looking at the son and daughter-in-law next to him, they all blushed to the root of their necks, wishing they could just walk away and not care about the person they wanted.
"It's certainly a good thing that she can enjoy happiness after all these years, but..." With a slight crunch, Mo Yuanyuan put down the tea cup, lowered his head and stroked his sleeves, and then changed the subject, "Qiu Xiao is a good child.
This boundary
, has a strong temper and refuses to go to that old man’s house no matter what. Even if I let her out, it may not be helpful to the future of the young master. If she offends the official, it will be bad. You say,
Yes or no?"
Mrs. Sheng was unexpected by this unexpected sudden appearance, and was left dumbfounded: "This, this... you, what do you mean, you and my old lady have talked about this in vain, but you still refuse to let my daughter go! I want to
I'm going to sue you and force you to become prostitutes!"
After two "噌嗌噌" sounds, Sheng Mingxuan and his wife jumped up in unison and began to threaten them, mixed with many dirty words.
"What's your name? My wife hasn't finished speaking yet, and she's making such a rude noise. I should go call the nursing home and beat her with a big stick."
Shui Zhi shouted loudly, Shui Fu had been guarding the door since he came in. Hearing this, he immediately opened the door to leave. With yesterday's foreshadowing, this time really calmed the Sheng family, and each one turned from a fighting cock to a half-wilted Shuang.
After beating the eggplant, most of the arrogance was reduced, and they all sat back angrily.
Mo Yuanyuan looked calm throughout the whole process and was not in a hurry to continue, so he managed to dry up half a cup of tea for the family. The child didn't care about his father and grandfather at all, he only knew that the cakes were delicious, which was rare in his home all year round, so he couldn't help but devour them. He stretched out his hand
When they went to grab the third piece, the master of Lengxiang Pavilion finally spoke, ending the deadlock.
"Old Mrs. Sheng has such a strong temper. Since I said I understand your hard work, I naturally won't let your family run around in vain." This chapter has been completed!
