Qi Ning was startled, thinking that there were rumors that the mysterious gift was from the Tian family to recruit his aunt, could it be true? The mature and beautiful Mrs. Tian has been a widow for three years. She cannot bear the loneliness and wants to find a new man
Mrs. Tian saw the look of surprise on Qi Ning's face, and immediately understood, but her fair cheeks turned red, full of charm, and she hurriedly explained: "No, no, don't get me wrong, I mean... Hey, Qi Young Master, since you went on stage to compete, you must have heard some rumors."
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
"A mysterious gift for the ring. Some people say that the Tian family wants to recruit an uncle. Have you heard of it?" Mrs. Tian's beautiful eyes were like mist, looking at Qining.
Qi Ning said: "Since this is a rumor, it cannot be true."
Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "Actually, that's true."
"What?" Qi Ning was startled and lost his voice: "Madam, could it be that... could the mysterious gift really be... that Tian Mansion recruits a aunt?"
"That's right." Mrs. Tian said simply and neatly: "Since Mr. Qi is in the ring, he should also know some of the situation of our Tian family. Our Tian family is short of men and needs a man to support the family."
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "So, Madam... is she going to marry me?"
Mrs. Tian was startled, then blushed, and said, "Oh, you... what are you talking about? Who... who said they want to get married to you." She was quite generous at first, but now she was a little flustered.
Qi Ning was a little embarrassed, but said in surprise: "Didn't Madam say that she wanted to find a man to support the family? Then...!"
"You misunderstood." Mrs. Tian hurriedly explained: "The Tian Mansion is looking for a son-in-law, not... not with me, but with my daughter. You want to be my son-in-law."
"Ah?" Qi Ning was startled, and then he understood. He felt very embarrassed for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Madam, um... I'm really sorry, I misunderstood, this...!"
Mrs. Tian had recovered at this time and said with a smile: "It's okay. I didn't explain it clearly, and I can't blame you for misunderstanding. Besides, I'm already old. After Fu'er's father left, I just wanted to maintain the family. I didn't think about anything else." He chuckled.
She is obviously a very smart woman. If this misunderstanding is not solved and kept secretive, it will be more embarrassing in the future. It is better to tell the truth directly, which will appear to be generous.
Qi Ning looked at this mature and beautiful woman with a beautiful smile and thought to herself that you are not an old woman. Even if you are not in your prime, you are at least a mature woman.
At this time, he also realized that after working on it for a long time, the mysterious gift was really a son-in-law, but the one he wanted to marry was not the mature and beautiful Mrs. Tian, but her daughter.
No wonder Mrs. Tian stared at him for a long time after she came in, but it turned out that she was choosing a son-in-law for her daughter.
Although Mrs. Tian is a woman, Qining is already very impressed with her at this moment. There is no doubt that this beautiful woman does have a very shrewd mind.
The right to interpret the so-called mysterious gift ultimately lies in the hands of Mrs. Tian. Although her ultimate goal is to choose a son-in-law, she has reserved a hand.
Qi Ning even suspected that if it was the big black guy who won the final championship in the arena, the mysterious gift might not be used to recruit a son-in-law. He had reason to believe that his age and appearance were indeed valued by Mrs. Tian, so Mrs. Tian then told her that the mysterious gift was to recruit a son-in-law.
She set up an arena in order to recruit a son-in-law, but she also saved a trick. Mrs. Tian was indeed shrewd.
At this moment, Butler Tian personally brought a tray in, served tea to Qining first, and then placed a teacup next to Mrs. Tian.
But when Mrs. Tian put down the teacup, Qining heard a "ding" sound. The sound was not loud, but Qining's hearing was very good, and it felt a little strange. He only felt that when Mrs. Tian put down the teacup, it was as if a Empty tea cup.
"Madam, Shopkeeper Liu from Babaotang just sent someone over to ask us to send a hundred catties of bitter wood and a hundred catties of bamboo." Housekeeper Tian leaned slightly closer to Mrs. Tian and whispered: "Shopkeeper Liu asked someone to ask, Can the price be cheaper? If not, can you give me a few more pounds?"
Mrs. Tian immediately said: "We have been in business for several years. The medicinal materials in our Tian's Medicine Store are of real value and the price is fair. They cannot be cheaper. How many more kilograms of medicinal materials does he want to send? Tell him, there is no extra, not even a kilogram. No."
"Old slave, I know." Butler Tian agreed, and just as he was about to retreat, Mrs. Tian asked, "Go and ask Fu'er to come over and meet Mr. Qi."
After Butler Tian stepped back, Mrs. Tian smiled and said: "Mr. Qi, I set up an arena, but there is no way. If you want to find a man who can support your family, you can't just look for it casually. You need to find a responsible hero with martial arts skills. Naturally, your health couldn't be better. Yes, you are from the capital, where do you live? After you go back, ask your family to come over and let's talk about the marriage. "
She was very neat and tidy.
Qi Ning also understood at this time that Mrs. Tian's purpose of choosing a son-in-law and spending Zhou Zhang to set up an arena was to select a son-in-law with good martial arts skills.
He already knew a little bit about the Tian family. Mrs. Tian's husband was killed by a bandit three years ago, and the case has not been solved yet. Mrs. Tian had been holding on for several years, but she obviously found it too difficult, so she wanted to find a man to share some of the responsibilities. If he really becomes the son-in-law of the Tian family, he will naturally have to take care of the Tian family's medicinal material business, and will inevitably have to go out frequently to transport medicinal materials.
Having learned from the past, Mrs. Tian naturally felt that it would be safer to find a son-in-law who knew martial arts.
Qi Ning was just curious and came over to see what the mysterious gift was. Of course, he couldn't become the son-in-law of the Tian family. He smiled and said: "Madam, I'm afraid she has misunderstood. In fact, it was a misunderstanding that I came on stage to compete. It was not really to compete with others. .”
Mrs. Tian was startled, obviously not understanding: "Mr. Qi, what do you mean? I... I didn't understand."
"Madam wants to recruit a son-in-law, I'm afraid I'm not suitable." Qining picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "And I haven't thought about getting married now."
Opening the tea cover, this tea was obviously much better than the previous cup of tea in the main hall, but only a few tea leaves were put in, and the color of the water was very light. Qining was stunned, and felt a little dumbfounded, thinking that Tian Mansion was really good at hospitality. It's a bit shabby. Not to mention the coarse tea served to guests before, but now it's finally served tea, and there are only a few tea leaves.
Mrs. Tian's beautiful face originally had a friendly smile. At this moment, her smile froze for a moment, then she frowned and asked, "You don't mean to say that you won't agree to become the son-in-law of my Tian family, do you?"
"Madam, although I am a little regretful, I heard you right." Qi Ning said: "My daughter and I have never met each other, and we have not even spoken a word. It is really too hasty to decide on the marriage in such a hurry. And I also As I said, I don’t plan to get married yet, so…!”
"So you think our Tian family's arena is just a child's play?" Mrs. Tian's pretty face darkened, and she said displeasedly: "Mr. Qi, although Fu'er's father is no longer here, our Tian family has never broken their trust, even if they are orphans or widowers. Mother, as long as you say what you say, you will definitely do it. Since I have said everything, then this marriage must be finalized. Besides, regarding marriage matters and parents' orders, have you and Fu'er met? It doesn’t matter if we haven’t spoken.”
Mrs. Tian was still smiling like a flower before, but now her face has changed. Even so, she has a different charm when she is angry.
Qi Ning knew that there was some trouble, so he could only say: "Mrs. Tian, even if it is not my fault this time, I apologize to you. But this marriage...!"
"There will be no changes!" Mrs. Tian said resolutely: "Didn't you say you haven't seen Fu'er? I've sent someone to call her over, and you can see her right away."
Qining suddenly felt a headache. He should have known this earlier and never come over to see the mysterious gift.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Butler Na Tian hurried in and said: "Madam, Miss... Miss, she has closed the door again, and I can't open it."
Mrs. Tian frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "I'll go in person." She twisted her waist and walked to the door. Suddenly she looked back at Qining, beckoned Butler Tian to come closer, and whispered a few words in his ear. The housekeeper glanced at Qining and nodded.
After Qi Ning waited for them to go out, he knew that it was not a good place to stay here for a long time. He stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Tian's cup. Thinking of the strange sound just now and seeing no one around, he couldn't help but reach out to open the tea lid and take a look inside. , burst into laughter, the tea cup was empty, not even a drop of tea.
Although he had some doubts just now, he never expected that it would really be the case.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Tian entertains guests. Since she is accompanying guests, she not only has to serve tea to the guests, but also makes a cup herself. Qining knows that this is a courtesy for hospitality.
But what does it mean to serve an empty cup
Does Mrs. Tian not like drinking tea? Or... Mrs. Tian is so stingy that she is unwilling to make herself a cup of tea
After all, the Tian family is also a big drug dealer. Could it be that they are reluctant to part with a cup of tea
Suddenly he thought that he only had one hundred taels of silver to fight in the arena. He had served guests with bad tea just now, and finally put a few tea leaves in a cup of good tea. Qin Ning couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He secretly thought that although Mrs. Tian was mature, beautiful and charming, she was not attracted to her. She is also a smart and capable beautiful woman, but she may have a stingy temperament.
He knew that if Mrs. Tian came back, there would be trouble again. It would be a great opportunity for her to go out. He took this opportunity to leave quickly. Without hesitation, he went out quickly. As soon as he walked out of the door, two or three servants were already rushing towards him. Someone has already said: "Mr. Qi, Madam has ordered that she will be back soon. You can have a cup of tea and wait."
Qi Ning said: "I have something to do at home. I have to go back quickly. You and Mrs. Tian said that I will come to visit another day." When he was about to leave, the servant had already shouted: "Don't leave!" Three servants rushed up and stopped Qi Ning. Ning's way out.
Qining knew that this was Mrs. Tian's order, and thought to herself, I don't want to get married, so do you, the Tian family, want to force the marriage? He frowned and said, "Get out of the way quickly, don't force me to do it!"
A servant turned around and said, "Here comes someone, he's running away!"
Suddenly, three or four servants rushed out, holding sticks in their hands. These servants were stout and quite burly. Several of them rushed up with sticks and blocked Qining's path. One of them said harshly: " You are not allowed to leave until Madam comes back, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude."
