Views:

"I heard that Brother Chuan almost died today. What happened? Do you know? Menzi said that he caught the cold while eating ice cream at his sister-in-law's place. If this is true, the ice cream in our store may not be sold. "

In the Chunyu courtyard, Duan Tingye wiped his face, handed the towel to Shi Yurou beside him, and hurriedly asked about Duan Maochuan's situation. He was really concerned about this matter, originally there was a dinner party at night, but after hearing the report, he pushed back the dinner party and rushed back.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Why can't you sell it? After selling it for so many days, I haven't heard of any accident." Shi Yurou handed the handkerchief to the girl beside her, and said with a sneer: "There are many truths here, Could it be that someone had a problem with eating the cake, so you removed the cake too? Then what else do we sell?"

Duan Tingye heard that his wife had something to say, so he frowned and said, "That's not what it said. If the news got out today, even if there was no problem with eating ice cream, what if someone used this to make a fuss? Someone will definitely say that the Anping Marquis Mansion My children almost died from eating ice cream, but they still sell this thing. Isn’t it unconscionable? Anyway, it’s winter now, few people come to buy it, and they can’t make much money, so they simply stop and sell it next summer. " After speaking, sitting in the chair, holding a sip of hot tea, Fang Youyou said: "From what you said, there seems to be a story in it? What do you know? Tell me."

Shi Yurou also sat down, laughed and said, "What's the story here, how would I know? It's just that someone must have taken this opportunity to stir up trouble. Isn't it always like this in the big room? Otherwise, we wouldn't have a chance According to the news I heard, Aunt Jiang decided that my sister-in-law poisoned Brother Chuan, so it is obviously uneasy and kind to give him ice cream in winter. But I know that Brother Chuan’s ice cream was not given to him by sister-in-law. Either He ate it by himself, or the ignorant girl gave it to him, but it has nothing to do with sister-in-law."

"Oh? How did you know?" Duan Tingye sat up straight all of a sudden. He didn't really care about Su Nuannuan, but liked to hear about Dafang's open and secret fights. Even if it was not beneficial to him, he just listened to it. All feel refreshed.

"Can I not know? Because of the words of the second master. I bowed my head to my sister-in-law today. It happened that she invited me to sit in Chunfengyuan. I thought about striking while the iron was hot. Anyway, I have bowed my head. Why don't I take this opportunity to fix it. If we go back and forth again, it won’t be embarrassing. So after going out from the old lady’s place, I went to Chunfengyuan, and saw her rushing back from the direction of Meiyuelou from a distance. I saw her enter the door, and Brother Chuan ran away When she came out, she hugged him for a while and asked Brother Chuan when he went there? It turned out that Meiyuelou was out of water today. She rushed over to see, and Brother Chuan was already there when I came back, because I went there. So Brother Chuan Immediately afterwards, he left and had a stomachache in the afternoon. Tell me, what does this have to do with my sister-in-law?"

"Meiyue Tower is flooded?" Duan Tingye immediately became nervous: "What happened? What happened to the two roses?"

"Don't worry, I only burned half of the green house where the celery grows here. My sister-in-law said it's okay. I sent someone to check it out. It's okay. It must be okay." Seeing that Duan Tingye frowned tightly, she said He smiled and said, "I've said it's fine, and the flower cakes won't be delayed, so what are you worried about?"

"You just said that someone took the opportunity to frame my sister-in-law?" Duan Tingye rubbed his forehead with his hands, as if there was something difficult to decide.

"Isn't that obvious? My sister-in-law wasn't in Chunfengyuan at all at the time. But if someone jumped out to accuse her, I wouldn't testify for her unless she came to ask me." At this point, Shi Yurou couldn't help laughing smugly I got up and said softly: "Hehe, I really didn't expect it, she also asked me one day."

"You're confused."

Duan Tingye let out a short drink, and reprimanded him: "What kind of situation is it like to take the initiative to do such a favor? What kind of situation is it if someone asks you? If my sister-in-law is framed and kicked out of the house, what will happen to our flower cakes? "

Shi Yurou's smile froze on her face, and it took her a long time to look forward to Ai Ai and said: "Flower cakes... If there are no flower cakes, there will be no more. I don't believe that there will be no new year without flower cakes? In the past, when my sister-in-law didn't have this kind of cooking skills, the capital also I haven't seen anyone dying of hunger."

"Nonsense, that's all money." Duan Tingye glared at Shi Yurou viciously: "You don't like money? Why are you so low today?"

"You also said, if it wasn't for you, why should I bow my head? Money, money, money, you know how to make money now, have you gotten into the eyes of money? Second master, do you still remember your ambition? What do you think? ... is the son of the world, why do you think about money all day long?"

Duan Tingye was suddenly stunned: The position of the son? Yes, what he wants is the position of the son of the world. He has been thinking about that position since he was a child. Even if he is not talented in studying, he still refuses to give up his efforts. After all, he has these family businesses in his hands, but Originally, what he wanted was not the wealth of the Marquis of Anping, what he wanted was the position of the prince, but now, how long has he not thought of that position? It's too late to count the money these few months, how can I still think about the ethereal position of the son

"If I don't testify, Su Mengnuan will be finished this time, and she will not be able to speak clearly. In any case, Brother Chuan ate her ice cream, not to mention that she has a criminal record. The person in the room never said it, but I know that the time Brother Chuan fell into the water last year and drowned, it was her handwriting. Hehe, as long as her charges are confirmed this time, no matter how much the elder brother loves her Well, it's impossible for the old lady to tolerate her. As long as she is kicked out, the elder brother will definitely be hit hard. Isn't it your chance at that time? That's not counting. If the elder brother wants to protect her with all his strength at such a time, the master will What do you think? If there is a rift between father and son, and our wife will help you out, Lord, then..."

The more Shi Yurou talked, the more excited she became, Duan Tingye's eyes lit up and he was about to move. Sticking out his tongue and licking his lower lip, his voice was trembling with excitement, and he said softly: "You are right, but if my sister-in-law is kicked out, what will happen to our family's property? People in the capital who are willing to hire her at a high price Absolutely no less…”

"You are worthless, even if there are thousands of golden mountains, can you compare with the title of the Marquis? Hereditary Marquis, how many are there in the capital?" Shi Yurou poked her husband with hatred, her eyes lit up and said : "Besides, if you really can't let go of these properties, and the eldest brother kicks that woman out, you can take her in behind. Are you afraid that she won't be grateful to us and teach her all her good skills?" ?”
