Qi Jintang was a little dazed after reading the letter that He Hua brought back to the house. He frowned and searched for information about this distant relative in his mind. After a long while, he said uncertainly: "I'm not sure. The letter means that he is from the same clan as his father." Distant relatives, but I haven’t moved around much since I can remember. The ancestral hall of the Qi family is in Qijia Village, and my family is a direct relative. I am afraid that these are branch relatives who were separated in the early years. I probably have no contact with them at ordinary times. My father is also You have never mentioned it to me, so why would you come to join us this time?"
"Anyway, people are already here. If they are from the same clan, there is no reason for us to ignore them whether they are close or distant. I heard that Ma Yong, who delivered the letter, said that all five members of the family are here, and they will not be there if we are not at home. If you dare to make the decision, we can only stay in the inn first and deal with it after we go back." Chapter 380: No good intentions
"I'll write a letter and send it back to ask dad first..." Qi Jintang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Although it takes a lot of time to come back and forth, it's better to ask clearly."
Hehua got up and laid out paper and polished ink for him. The two of them considered the words and wrote the letter. They also attached a letter from home, sealed it and sent it out.
At this moment, the people in the kitchen at Xiaoxiu's side also brought food boxes to deliver meals. Although they were called porridge and side dishes, they were all exquisitely cooked. The porridge was preserved egg, lean meat, and japonica rice porridge, with six plates of meat and vegetables. As side dishes, there are also silver rolls and rose shortbread.
He Hua signaled Miao'er to give her a reward, then waved the two girls to go down to eat. Then she went to the front to help Xiao Xiu. She rolled up her sleeves and served Qi Jintang porridge and vegetables, and then hesitantly told Bo that day. Rong told Qi Jintang what he had said in detail, and then explained without waiting for Qi Jintang to express his opinion: "What the eldest brother means is that the two of them can live here with him. It will be convenient whether they are learning to do business or continue their studies." , but I was thinking about it, anyway, my two brothers have come to the south, and they may occasionally stay with us for a few days, so I want to discuss it with you, what do you think?"
"Looking at the serious look on your face, I thought it was something serious. Chapter 380: Don't have a good heart. I've told you before, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, two brothers It's a good thing to come out and gain experience. If Bonin is willing to follow him and learn some official business dealings. It would be more convenient to receive him directly at our home. After all, the eldest brother is originally an official, so it is not as convenient as my arrangement." Qi Jintang stretched out his chopsticks. Hehua picked up a piece of her favorite rose cake, then rubbed the top of her head and said, "I have said before that I will treat your family as my own, so there is no need to have such thoughts in the future. As long as it is done right, I will definitely have no objection."
He Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt that Qi Jintang would definitely have no objections, she still felt a little unsure after being told by Bo Rong. Seeing Qi Jintang respond without hesitation, she suddenly felt very warm in her heart, and the corner of her mouth With a gentle smile, he said, "Don't I respect your opinion?"
"You are so thoughtful!" Qi Jintang pinched her nose lovingly, and then said worriedly. "I think we should worry more about the relatives who come to our door."
"Go back and have a look. If you can work hard, then stay and work. If you are really dishonest, then be careful and restrained. There is nothing you can do about it if you live in vain. We will find opportunities to deal with it slowly in the future." Hehua passed by I was worried at first, but now I think about it. As long as I am really a member of the Qi family, no matter good or bad times, as long as I don't want to leave, this plaster will be regarded as sticking to my body, so don't worry unnecessarily. It's better to take advantage of the situation.
Hearing what He Hua said, Qi Jintang didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled and said: "If it doesn't work out, we'll pack them up and send them back to Qijia Village, and let the old men at home take care of them."
"You would think that your parents would take care of you first when the time comes!" He Hua attacked him.
The two of them were chatting and laughing while eating, when Miao'er opened the curtain and came in: "Grandma. Miss Cuiliu from Mr. Sun's side came over and said she wanted to say hello to grandma."
He Hua was stunned for a moment before he remembered who this so-called Cuiliu girl was, and ordered: "Take her to the flower hall to sit and drink tea first, and ask Bai Zhi to wait on her. She said I will be there soon."
After sending Miao'er away, Hehua was still a little confused. Cuiliu was just Sun Jianyu's maid. According to Mrs. Sun's introduction last time and Miao'er's title just now, she should not have been promoted to aunt yet. She came to talk to him for no reason last time, and now she still delivered it to his door. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd... With this thought in his mind, he drank the porridge faster.
However, Qi Jintang stretched out his hand to add two spoons of porridge to Lotus, and then put some side dishes for her and said, "Why are you in a hurry? She is just a respectable girl, so there is no need for you to rush to see her, just let her wait. "
After hearing this, He Hua regained her identity a little bit. She had never had such an experience before. If it hadn't been for Qi Jintang's suggestion, she would have had to have her identity to speak later.
At this moment, she felt much more at ease. She finished the porridge at a normal speed, took some tea stew and rinsed her mouth. Then she went into the house, straightened her clothes, applied some fine powder and lip balm, and then carried the hand stove with her. Miaoer went to the flower hall.
After walking around the screen, I saw Cuiliu sitting calmly drinking tea. He didn't show any anxious look at all. I don't know whether it was because he was used to being hung out or because he was calm in nature.
After Hehua waited for Cuiliu to salute, before she spoke, he said: "I have kept Miss Cuiliu waiting for a long time. If my girl has been neglectful in any way, I hope you will forgive me." After saying that, he sat down on the main seat, lowered his head and turned on the stove. Huo Tan'er inside, then raised his head and looked at Cuiliu.
"Mrs. Qi, how dare you be a slave? It's not a slave to bother you at this time." Because of the Chinese New Year, Cuiliu was wearing a new honey-colored jacket. It was better to see her green dress for the first time. The clothes look bright and flattering. It seems that this girl looks better in green clothes. But whether it is a matter of her own aesthetics or whether she deliberately avoids the mistress during the Chinese New Year, it is not something that Hehua needs to consider.
Hehua glanced calmly and looked away and said: "Anyway, I'm very bored in the house every day. It's a good thing that you come to talk to me." Then he greeted Cuiliu here and there, just When people really come here to chat, they don’t even ask why they are there.
Cuiliu started to talk to Hehua with a smile, but after seeing that Hehua walked around for a long time and talked about folk customs, eating groceries and other irrelevant gossip, she couldn't help but talk about the purpose of her visit: "Grandma, slave, listen Are you saying that my adults and grandma’s brother have been friends since childhood?”
"It's not like we were young. Brother Sun and my eldest brother took the Tongsheng Examination together. We were just acquaintances at that time. Later, we studied together in the city academy, and then we gradually became familiar with each other." There is nothing to hide in this. It's impossible for Cuiliu to really not know. From here, she is just looking for a conversation to bring out the main topic.
"Actually..." Cuiliu was a little hesitant when he said this. He pulled out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth subconsciously and said, "Grandma, actually, I came here because I really want to ask grandma to help me with something..."
"Miss Cuiliu is really good at telling jokes. Mr. Sun is young and promising, and he is the official of both parents. Mrs. Sun is also a virtuous and kind-hearted person. I heard that she is tolerant to others both externally and internally. The girl is the madam's natal family, so what else can she have? Do you need to ask me for help?" Hehua said and then lowered her head to drink tea, not wanting to pick up her topic.
Unexpectedly, Cuiliu didn't seem to hear the rejection behind Hehua's words, and continued: "Actually, for the madam, it is not a big deal, but for the slave, it is a big deal. My lord In my spare time, I said that Mrs. Qi often cooked meals and sent them to the academy, and she always praised her cooking skills. Even though she has eaten a lot of dishes from the north and the south, she still never forgets her cooking skills... "
He Hua's face completely darkened before Cui Liu finished speaking. In the past, she did often cook dishes and send them to the city, but they were all for her eldest brother. Now when Cui Liu said that, she seemed to have specially sent them to Sun Jianyu. , now the two of them are married, but her specifically saying this makes people feel troubled.
Seeing that Cuiliu didn't even notice her eyes and wanted to continue talking, Hehua put the tea bowl in her hand on the table and interrupted her next words.
Miao'er's mind was spinning quickly, knowing that He Hua had some authority if he opened his mouth to explain, so he hurriedly smiled and interrupted: "Miss Cuiliu, I'm not a talkative slave. My adults and grandma often talked about what happened back then. Our old lady was thinking about it back then. My uncle, who is studying in the city, often makes meals for me and my grandma to take to the city. My uncle has the best relationship with Master Sun and my family in the college. The three of us often have meals together. Maybe it’s because of this. I have tasted my family’s food. But they are all home-cooked meals. Mr. Sun has been accustomed to eating fine food since childhood and only occasionally tastes something new. Let’s not talk about anything else. I just want to say that if you go to get some coarse grain cakes now, let alone Mr. Sun. , even Miss Cuiliu won’t be able to eat it, don’t you think so?”
After hearing Miao'er's words, Cuiliu looked a little confused, but she could only nod her head and said, "What Miss Miao'er said is that I was too presumptuous." After saying that, she stood up and apologized to Hehua, "Grandma, please don't tell me A fool like this slave cares about you."
He Hua got up directly and went back to the house, leaving only one sentence: "I am busy with things in my thirties today, so I won't keep the girl around. If the girl likes to chat, we can chat when I pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Sun on the first day of the new year. Bai Zhi, Send Miss Cuiliu out."
He Hua sat in the room and was still angry. Bai Zhi rolled the curtain and entered the room angrily: "Grandma, that Cuiliu girl, the slave just sent her out. She seemed to want to talk to her again and again. She always asks Master Sun what happened when she was a student, and this servant must be looking at her with ill intentions."! ! !
