It stands to reason that I have just had lunch, so I shouldn't have come so early even if I stop by.
Seeing Mrs. Li washing dishes in the back kitchen, Mrs. Zhang untied the apron around her waist, put it aside, and replied, "Come here, who is it? Don't knock, it's here."
Zhang opened the door, and saw a circle of people watching the excitement outside the door. The leader was Ding Bingren, who was the most talkative, followed by a few strong women, who were still standing at their feet. Several boxes with big red flowers.
When Ding Bingren saw Zhang's door open, he hurriedly approached him as if to speak, "Brother Zhang, I'm already at the door, and you won't invite me in to talk?"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door blocked by Zhang Shixu, and pushed in despite Zhang Shi's obstruction. At the same time, he greeted the people behind him, "Why are you stunned? Why don't you hurry up and bring things in!"
"What are you doing? Carry everything out!" Mrs. Zhang stopped him from entering, but these women didn't listen to him. He quickly grabbed Ding Bingren who was in command and asked angrily, "This is What do you mean? Carry anything to our house? You ask them to carry it out quickly."
"Don't be angry, brother, there are all good things in here." Ding Bingren held Zhang's hand affectionately, his voice was not small, and the neighbors watching the excitement at the door could hear his words, "This is what our lady Jia gave you. The betrothal gift of son Li Langjun."
Hearing this, Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, and he threw Ding Bingren's hand on the back of his hand away, "You have to make it clear, my son doesn't know any of you, Mrs. Jia, This betrothal gift, where did you bring it from, hurry up and take it back to where it is!"
As if afraid of embarrassment, Ding Bingren made a wink and asked the people who followed to close the door. Seeing that everyone's sight was blocked, Ding Bingren, who had been talking to himself before, showed just the right look of surprise on his face, wrinkled. He raised his brows and asked, "Li Langjun really doesn't know Mrs. Jia from East Street?"
Seeing that the surprise in his expression did not seem to be fake, Mrs. Zhang calmed down and said, "I really don't know each other. How can children know the wealthy businessmen in East Street? Ding Bingren, I will not embarrass you, you Hurry up and bring these things back to people."
Ding Bingren stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, with a bit of annoyed tone in his tone, "This lady Jia said that she made an agreement with your family and will come over tomorrow to carry people away, because she likes Li Langjun, so they sent some more things... Look, if I knew she was deceiving me, I wouldn't take it up! Now it annoys you, brother."
The movement in the yard was naturally hidden from the people in the house. Master Li came out with Xu Mu, and Mrs. Li came out two steps slowly and followed behind.
Seeing the people in the yard and the boxes on the ground, Master Li pulled his face and asked, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and went back to her wife to tell her what happened just now, "I heard a knock on the door and went to open the door. The lady has made an agreement with Xiao Er that she will carry him in the door tomorrow, and let someone bring the betrothal gift today."
Li's brows were furrowed, she looked up at Ding Bingren who was standing beside her, and asked, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I don't know any lady Jia at all, let alone promise to serve her as a waiter."
Those peach blossom eyes with thin anger and pink at the end of the eyes, such a fluttering glance, Ding Bing every man finds it attractive, thinking that it is no wonder that Jia Shanren wants to get this man by all means. This look is indeed attractive.
Hearing his son's denial, Master Li was even more angry, and asked Mrs. Zhang to open the door and said, "Give it out to me, and whoever asks you to carry the things will be carried back to whomever. Our Li family has no plans to marry our son, let alone What do you do for Lady Jia as a waitress!"
There was still a circle of people watching the excitement outside the door, Ding Bingren glanced at it, and hurriedly went over to close the door, "Master Li, don't be angry, let me finish the story with you."
"We don't have anything to say, go out, go out, let me go out!" Seeing that Master Li was about to swipe a broom to drive people away, Ding Bingren said quickly, "I'm also confused about this, I can't be fooled by others for no reason. .You wait for me to finish speaking, and it's not too late to drive us away."
Although Master Li taught in the academy, his temper was really bad, and he didn't look like an elegant master at all.
Master Li put the broom and pestle on the ground, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, hurry up and get out!"
Ding Bingren pinched the palm of his hand with his fingernails aggrievedly, only to get rid of the anger in his eyes, his face was a little embarrassed, and his tone was three-pointed aggrieved, "Isn't this also a matter of being entrusted by others to be loyal. It is said that today’s Laba, it’s better to go out and say kiss at home for the festival, but Mrs. Jia from East Street came to me in the morning and said that you have agreed with your son to carry someone tomorrow. I don’t think it’s too difficult. To make some money, I hurried over just after dinner."
Speaking of this, Ding Bingren also had some anger on his face. He pointed at the people behind him who were carrying the boxes and shouted, "What's going on? Your master didn't tell me that before. Li Langjun didn't agree. How can you let me come here with a dowry!"
Those few people also lowered their heads and hummed: "We don't know either, we are just carrying boxes."
"You guys!" Ding Bing stomped his feet in popularity, stretched out his hand and stroked his flat chest, which was ups and downs, and then turned to face Master Li and Mrs. Zhang with an apologetic smile, "It's all my fault, and I didn't ask clearly. Don't be angry, I'll let people carry things back here."
He said so, and the Li family can't make it difficult for a middleman.
Ding Bingren stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw that the people surrounding Li's house had not dispersed, his brows wrinkled, he turned back to the Li family in an apologetic and consultative tone and said, "It stands to reason that I should lift this thing right away. Go back, but you also saw that there are so many people outside the door.
If this thing was just carried back in front of everyone, Madam Jia would definitely feel ashamed. It is said that the people do not fight against the government, let alone the government, even a rich businessman can't fight... If we let her down and lose face, she will definitely not make us feel better. You see, why don't I wait for the people at the door to disperse before I let them move things away? "
Master Li put the broom in his hand on the ground and jabbed it hard, and said, "I can still be afraid of her!"
Ding Bingren said with a bitter face: "You are not afraid, but you are the only woman in the family. If she causes people to harm your shop, she will find people every now and then... No one can bear it."
What he said was reasonable. Master Li and his husband, Mrs. Zhang, looked at each other, and then looked at his son, Mrs. Li, and frowned. If the Jia family is really such a scoundrel, they really don't have a good way, just report to the official, how long can they manage it
There was silence in the courtyard for a while.
Xu Mu looked at the large boxes, and then at Ding Bingren, who had a bitter face, and couldn't help wrinkling his two pale eyebrows. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something wrong.
When he used to support "Sweet Baiwei" by himself, although someone tried to make him, Lu Feng solved it in private. She protected herself so well that Xu Mu couldn't figure out what Ding Bingren had in mind for a while.
When Dad was here, it was Dad who protected him, and when Dad left, it was Lu Feng who protected him. Even if he married into the Lu family, the family would get along well with his father and son-in-law, until the news of Lu Feng's death in battle came. He was well protected.
Xu Mu's brows furrowed into a ball, and he felt that he was really old and not scheming, and that fifteen years of Laba porridge was all for nothing.
Li shi lowered his eyes and saw his son clutching his sleeve and wrinkling his little face, no matter how much he thought about his heart, there was still a little smile in his eyes, and he put his hand around the candied fruit's shoulder and patted it soothingly.
The three of the Li family looked at each other, afraid of getting into trouble, so they reluctantly agreed.
Ding Bingren breathed a sigh of relief, clawed at the crack of the door and looked out. Seeing people still did not leave, he frowned and turned around and said, "They are gathered around the door to watch the fun. If I, the iceman, don't go out, they will definitely not be able to leave. Why don't I Go out first, and then carry things out after everyone is gone?"
No one knew what was in the box. Xu Mu heard that Ding Bingren was going to go out first, so he kept an eye on it, shook his hand around Li's sleeve, and asked curiously, "Dad, he's gone, Are we going to stand here and look at the box for him?"
Naturally, they couldn't look at the box for Ding Bingren.
Li's frowned slightly, "Ding Bingren, you have to find someone to look after this box. In case something is lost inside, we will be blamed."
Ding Bingren was stunned when he heard the words, twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "How can you, there are so many people in the yard watching." He looked at the six people who were carrying the boxes, "The four of you are with me. Get out and distract yourself, you two stay here looking at the box."
Turning to open the door. After going out, Ding Bingcai calmly wiped the sweat from his palms on his body. When Mr. Li said that just now, he was scared to death. This gentleman is really smart, and he guessed Mrs. Jia's plan at once.
According to his original intention, he wanted to take away all the people who carried the dowry in the yard, and then put the box in the Li family's yard. If anything was lost in it, it would be taken by the Li family. Shi points out, then he can only symbolically leave two people in the yard.
Ding Bingren took the four out, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, greeted everyone at the door with a smile on his face, and turned to leave. He had to tell Madam Jia about it.
What everyone saw was a lively event. Seeing that the dowry was brought in and not brought out, they thought that the Li family agreed to the marriage and accepted the things, so they dispersed in twos and threes. Naturally, no one went to count and follow Ding Bing. There are several servants who came out.
The Li family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone guarding the courtyard. Master Li snorted coldly and entered the room with a broom. Mrs. Zhang walked in front of Mrs. Li and his son, half bent down and touched Xu Mu's face, frowned and said, "It's cold outside, let's go in first."
Xu Mu shook his head, stared at the two people in the yard and the three boxes, and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."
Seeing his insistence, Mrs. Li could only go into the house and find him a hand warmer.
Xu Mu stared at the three boxes, thinking to himself, there should be no problem now. He didn't believe that Jia Shanren could still use the false accusation to kill their family!
