Chapter 547 Losing Money

But Mr. Qi did not dare to say this. If he did, Mrs. Qi would give him a chance to jump into a well and commit suicide. He would not be able to bear it and would have to consider himself unlucky.

"Mom, my son doesn't mean anything else. I just want to remind my mother that if you hear something in the future, don't make blind guesses. If you don't understand, just ask your son. Your son will definitely tell you everything he knows, and it will save you now. Misunderstanding, causing such a thing, offending the Gu family in vain."

Mrs. Qi was still dissatisfied and cried: "Although Sister Zhu is a concubine, she is well-behaved and well behaved. She is no worse than a legitimate daughter. We have agreed to give it to the official young masters in the capital. What can we do?" A farmer's son? You have to promise to be my mother and not give Sister Zhu to the younger generation of the Gu family."

Mr. Qi was so angry that he turned blue. He looked at his mother crying and making trouble. How could he look like an old lord from a noble family?

Mr. Qi didn't want to live in peace at home, so he could only say: "Yes, my son will not assign Sister Zhu to a farmer's son. He will definitely find her a noble family in the capital."

 It can be pulled down.

The only eldest brother in his family is an official, and he is just a Confucian businessman. Even if the daughter of a concubine can marry into an official family in the capital, what kind of good family can she marry? That is to say, he has a nice name, but he is a pauper on the inside. He probably has to rely on his daughter's dowry to survive.

 Don’t bully young people into poverty. At the age of fifteen, Gu Jinan was able to marry the eldest grandson of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family. As long as he was admitted to the imperial examination, his future would be incomparable to those of the bright-looking officials from the capital.

 But Mrs. Qi didn't think so. In her eyes, even if Gu Jinan could get into the exams and get acquainted with noble people, he would still be just a farmer. She was from a wealthy family, and she would marry into the family behind her husband. She was unwilling to let her children marry into peasant families.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Mrs. Qi wiped her tears and said: "Your mother and I are not unreasonable. I have misunderstood the Gu family's affairs. How about this? You prepare a generous gift for your mother and give it to her." Going to the Gu family is a way of making amends."

Yes, I asked him to come forward and settle the matter with money again. And he still has to pay for it. His mother is very concerned about her warehouse and won't touch it easily.

 But what can he do? All we can do is comply.

 “Son, please retire.” The more Mr. Qi looked at Mrs. Qi, the more boring she became, so he simply left.

When Mrs. Qi saw it, she cried to Grandma Chen again: "Look, what is his attitude? He wants to shame me for outsiders, but I am his mother! She was born in ten months of pregnancy and it hurt for two days. One night, I almost died!"

This was said very loudly, and Mr. Qi heard it.

Mother Chen had a headache when she heard this. She said this again. If she said this too much, it would only make the second master less close to her.

Mr. Qi walked out of the courtyard with a tired look on his face. After seeing the anxiety on the faces of his two sons, he finally felt relieved and said to them: "Let's go have a meal. Have a good rest tonight and follow my father tomorrow morning." Go to Jiang's house on Le'an Street and apologize to the Gu family."

When Mrs. Qi heard this, she couldn't help but stood up. Just as she was about to speak, Grandma Chen quickly stopped her and advised: "Miss, let the second master handle this matter. If you are still dissatisfied, the second master will But it will be sad.”

 The second master was unhappy with the commotion like this. If the quarrel continued, how could the mother and son live under the same roof?

Although Mrs. Qi felt sorry for Brother Yun and Brother He to go and apologize to a farmer's family, she also knew that she had made too much trouble today and could not continue it, so she had to give up.

Then she complained to Granny Chen about the Gu family: "The Gu family is too angry. It's just a shame for me, but I'm still embarrassed. If the Gu family could have been more lenient, nothing like what happened today would have happened." Son."

Mother Chen: “…”

It was you who slapped the Gu family in the face first, and now that the Gu family has come back, you blame the Gu family for slapping them too hard. How can there be such logic in the world?

But Grandma Chen is always a servant, and she can't say much if she questions. She can only gently persuade Mrs. Qi to stop blaming the Gu family. Ms. Zheng was extremely happy when she learned that Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi had a quarrel. My mother-in-law is too self-righteous. Does she still think that she is the direct daughter of a wealthy family? Her natal family has long been in decline.

Not only was she ruined, but she also wanted to betroth a girl from her natal family to Brother Yun. Who are you looking down on? Brother Yun is the eldest son of the second wife, and he is very knowledgeable. He will pursue an official career in the future. He will marry a well-matched official girl and settle down in a poor family. Do you really think that the couple is easy to bully?

Zheng felt relieved and asked the eldest maid to bring a set of gold-headed noodles: "Give it to the second master, saying it is a meeting gift for the girl of the Gu family."

Zheng was smart and didn't say it was an apology for fear that Mr. Qi's face would look bad. Instead, she said it was a greeting gift.

"Yes." The maid took the gold-headed noodles, went to the study room in the front yard, and gave the gold-headed noodles to Mr. Qi.

When Mr. Qi saw it, he sighed in his heart: Sure enough, his wife knows etiquette and is a good person.

That night, after Mr. Qi prepared an apology to the Gu family, he rested in Zheng's house again and did not go to other aunts' houses.

Early the next morning, after Mr. Qi and his son had packed up, they took the old housekeeper to Jiang's house on Le'an Street to visit the Gu family.

 Gu Jinli expected that Mr. Qi would come and did not go out today. After hearing the report from the servants of the Jiang family, he asked his servants to invite the Qi family and his son in.

The third grandfather took Gu Jinli, Qin Sanlang, Gu Daya, and the Qi brothers to meet the Qi family father and son. The servants accompanying them included Kan Liu, Ah Shi, Qiu Lang, and Feng Jin.

 Old Uncle Cheng, as a servant of the Jiang family, was also waiting in the main hall of the front yard where guests were entertained.

As soon as Mr. Qi saw Third Grandpa and the others, he immediately stood up and said to Third Grandpa: "Mr. Gu, I came here to visit you when I heard that you were coming to Fucheng. Your body looks strong again. It seems that you are living a good life. How about you guys?" Every family is blessed.”

He also introduced his two sons to the third grandfather.

The old man is an unbelievable house. Seeing the child is happy, the third grandfather nodded and laughed: "Mr. Qi will raise his son, and the two young masters look at them."

Mr. Qi smiled and said a lot of complimentary words. While saying this, he glanced at Gu Jinli to see if she was angry?

Gu Jinli became impatient and said to Mr. Qi: "What are you doing here, sir? If it's just business talk, we don't have much time to listen."

 What is business mutual bragging?

Mr. Qi didn’t understand, but he knew that this girl would be angry if he didn’t talk about the business. He hurriedly said: “What happened the day before yesterday was a misunderstanding. It was all because of the servant’s gossiping in front of my mother that my mother did it. Inappropriate things. That woman has been dealt with, and today we are here to apologize."

Although Mr. Qi can't do anything to his wife, he can still deal with a servant who talks nonsense.

 “Old housekeeper, bring me the apology.”

"Yes." The old butler and a servant took two boxes and put them on the table where Gu Jinli was.

Gu Jinli opened the two boxes and squinted his eyes because of the shaking. Good guy, he knew that she liked silver, so he went out of his way to pay for it.
