Chapter 10 My Mother Wants to See You
Until I coaxed my father to stop talking, I wandered around Mingfeng and looked at Mingfeng with embarrassment before asking: "Mingfeng, you are so good at making clothes, but you must not be very good at studying clothes?":
: "I don't know much about this either." Mingfeng said confidently.
: "I don't know what. You can make the style of my drawings vividly. You know that you are very talented in this regard. My mother said to you, let me come to the store to help me." I patted his shoulder and said.
: "How can that happen?" Dad and Mingfeng said in unison.
; "Why not." I looked at them.
: "Men should not show up in public." This is Ming Feng's reason.
: "Mingfeng is right. If you ask him to go to the store to help, your mother would not like men's affairs in women, and she would not like him even more at that time." This is the reason for her father.
It's right to think about it. My mother has a very prejudiced attitude towards Mingfeng. If she takes the initiative to go to the store, she will probably feel even more uncomfortable.
: "But I have taken over the royal agency. Such a big job, if no one helps me, I will be unable to do anything." I said with distress.
When my father heard this, he asked in surprise: "Really, when did it happen?"
: "Just today, Nangong Rimu insisted that I pick it up."
; "Daughter, dad winked at me; "I just said he was interested in you, why not marry him.":
When Mingfeng heard this, his face immediately turned as white as paper and his body began to tremble.
I gave my father a blank look:\":Dad, don't talk nonsense, okay?":
: "Okay, Dad won't tell me. Have you told your mother about such a big thing?"
I shook my head: "Not yet? I went straight to you as soon as I came back."
Dad immediately stood up and said, "Oh, you damn girl, why don't you tell your mother about such good news? It makes your mother happy, and she said she was ready to go out.
I said slowly: "Dad, don't say I didn't remind you, Mom is with Daddy, so be careful when she goes there.":
Dad's eyes dimmed:\": Hey, I know.\":
I turned around and saw Mingfeng sitting like a wooden carving, feeling in dismay. I put my hand in front of him and shook it but didn't respond.
; "Mingfeng, Mingfeng, shouted several times before he woke up from a dream.
: "What, what's the matter?"
I looked at him strangely: "I'm going to ask me what's going on? Why are you stunned when you're okay?"
: "I, he lowered his head and his face turned pale. It took me a long time to say, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
: "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."
; "Well, he nodded, still looking lost. He walked a few steps and turned around: "Cousin, rest early." Then he walked out the door like a piece of wood, almost tripped by the threshold.
What's wrong? It's just fine. It's best not to guess the man's thoughts.
My mother was very happy to hear the news, and the next day I gathered the whole family together for a dinner. This time, I not only did not object, but instead strongly agreed.
While everyone was full of wine, I picked up the glass and stood up: "Mom, all the fathers, older sisters, second sisters, and brother-in-laws, today I have something to say here."
Mo Yuqing was very happy and kept pushing me: "Say it, just say anything." I curled my lips, afraid that after I finished speaking, your face would become a black Baogong.
I smiled indifferently, "I'm not talking to you all my family members. Now everyone knows the situation of the Mo family. Although I have received such a large order, whether I can do it well depends on your support.":
:\": That's it, that's it.\": There was a sound of echoing on the dining table.
I sneered in my heart, but I didn't feel sarcastic on the surface:\": If everyone agrees with my approach, then I'll spread some things."
: "Sister, please just say anything. If you can help me, you must help me." Jing Yu looked absolutely supportive.
: "The Mo family lacks the most now. The money is the money." As soon as this was said, it was silent under the table, and the room was quiet so quiet that it could even hear someone's footsteps.
My eyes swept quickly and sat there, with different expressions but my eyes were full of indifference, of course Mingfeng and my parents were the exception.
I continued: "I didn't care about the luxury of everyone in the past, but from now on, everyone must be able to save as much as possible in life. Take out the money and make this order. If this order is done, the rumors about the decline of the Mo family will be calmed down. Mom, are you right?":
:\":Well, my mother drank a glass of wine and waved her hand:\": In the future, the accounts and distractions of each room must be approved by Feng'er. If I use the money to sell it privately, I will never agree."
There was still a silence under the table without sound.
I said with a smile: "Okay, if no one speaks, I will assume you agree, but I will have something to say, sister."
Jing Yu, who was named by me, looked up: "What?"
I pretended to ponder: "When I went to check the accounts last time, I found that there was a thousand taels missing in the account. I heard from Butler Liu that you spent the money on the agency's activity. Now I have already obtained the agency's right. I want to know where this money went."
: "This, this money is here, and I am there." Jing Yu began to hesitate.
: "Oh, I nodded to show my understanding and smiled: "Sister, don't be nervous. Since I'm with you, I don't plan to come back." I looked at her and felt relieved.
I immediately smiled and said, "That money will be my eldest sister's household purchase this month." After I finished speaking, Jing Yu's face immediately collapsed.
I restrained the smile on my face and said solemnly: "In order to make this order well and for the future of the Mo family, the Mo family will start to increase revenue and reduce expenditure from this month. In the future, every bank paid by each house to the housekeeper Liu must state the destination and cost, and I must sign it by myself. Otherwise, I will punish Mr. Liu for not doing anything well, and the monthly household consumption must not exceed 500 taels of silver. Once it exceeds or needs money urgently, I have to say hello to my wife. Do you have any opinions?"
: "What can I have any opinions?" It was not until someone else's turn to speak, Mo Yuqing said: "Now everything is mainly this order, so save what you should save." The wife and owner said, even if they dare not speak out under the table, they were silent. This meal has the best taste.
While busy preparing for some work before taking up a large order, Nangong Rimu suddenly made an appointment with me.
As soon as he saw him, he was straight to the point; "My mother wants to see you."
: "Why?" I asked while eating.
: "Oh, he sighed; "The clothes we want to make must be made of silk called snow satin from the north."
I said without caring about it: "Then go buy it. Why is the Nangong family out of money? I declared me in advance that I am a poor man, so what can I help you? As I said that, I raised my hands above my head to show that I was poor and innocent.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of my mouth very gently: "What you have seen in this snow satin is the silk material you saw in my store last time."
I lowered my head and thought, "Didn't I say that there is only that one left?":
:\": My mother didn't let me go because there was a robber there.\": He looked at me helplessly.
My eyes widened:\":Wow, it turns out that guy said it was true that day.\":
: "But I scratched my head; "It would be useless to take me to see your mother."
; "I want to go with you." He looked at me with his dark jade-like eyes.
I patted him on the shoulder, "No problem, I'm not afraid of fighting, I also want to see how scary the legendary robbers are."
He said quietly: "Then you have to go with me and my mother."
Alas, I went around and returned to the original topic, how else can I go to see you? Anyway, I am not a tiger, so I can't eat me.
Mrs. Nangong is indeed not a tiger, but like an unfathomable old fox. Especially when she closed her eyes and pondered, the pain made her look thin, but she was in good spirits. She spoke clearly to me and asked questions sharper than the other. She almost left me speechless.
When I was grinding everything until lunch, the table was not as exaggerated as ours, and the food was not as delicate but very delicious and sweet. A small round table surrounded Rimu and I. Mrs. Nangong and one of her husbands was named Yuzhu.
When the meal started, I asked in confusion, "Why don't you see other people?"
The old lady waved majesticly: "What do you need so many people to do? You just want to eat and not watch a big show together." Hey, it's quite interesting.
I stopped talking, a white dish on the table attracted my attention, and I asked Nangong: "What is that?"
Nangong looked up and saw, "That's bamboo shoots, should you try them? They're very crisp."
: "Okay." In fact, I rarely eat such fresh bamboo shoots after I went to college.
Nangong put some in my bowl and I smiled at him, "Thank you."
A trace of unintentional smile flashed across Mrs. Nangong's mouth and asked, "What do you think of Mu'er doing business?"
When I heard me put down the bowl and chopsticks, I said with a smile, "Old Madam, you really have a very capable son."
Ah, everyone present was stunned at the same time.
: "Don't you think Mu'er's behavior is a bit rebellious? \": Mrs. Nangong asked carefully.
I frowned after hearing this:\": Madam, how could you think so?\":
She was stunned by my replies, as if the person who had clicked the acupoint was sitting motionless.
:\": Because others think so, why does the wife look at Nangong like this? Don't you think this will make Nangong very sad?\": My series of rhetoric questions made this veteran in Bailian shopping mall unable to answer a word.
:\": Then what you mean.\": She looked at me again with a questioning face.
I picked up the bowl and said bluntly:\": I mean, you should feel proud. You have such a smart son, a hundred times better than some women. I think that Nangong does these things that all the men in the boudoir want to do but dare not do. They are jealous, so they spread Nangong very badly. Anyway, I think that everyone, whether it is a man or a woman, should live their own excitement.\": While talking and eating, I found that no one in the owner moved his chopsticks, but I ate alone, so I had to put down the chopsticks in my hand quietly.
Nangong murmured and repeated what I just said:\": Everyone should live their own wonderful life.\": I kicked him:\": Stop parrot learning, hurry up and tell your mother.\":
:\":What did you say?'He looked at me with a dull face. Seeing his expression, he had no hope, so I had to save myself. (To be continued)
