The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 329 Settle accounts after autumn, two new couples (2)
"You call me Mrs. Qi Er." Mrs. Zhang said kindly, with a pair of slender eyes shining brightly, looking at Mo Zihan.

Contempt flashed in Mo Zihan's eyes, the Second Mrs. Qi who regards money as her life?For the sake of money, he sold his daughter to make a wish. How could such a kind and ungrateful person get close to her for no reason?

Seeing that Mo Zihan was silent, Mrs. Zhang thought about seeing that scene from afar just now, and asked tentatively: "The third wife is familiar with my nephew and daughter-in-law?"

"In this way, we can be regarded as in-laws. The concubine of King Yan just now is my elder sister." Mo Zihan smiled, feeling that the old woman in front of her was very interesting.

Mrs. Zhang immediately smiled when she heard the words: "Let me just say, it's no wonder that the third wife got close at the first sight. It turns out that they are in-laws. How come I haven't heard your nephew and daughter-in-law mention you before?"

"I'm my sister's righteous sister." Mo Zihan lowered her eyes and walked towards the Palace of Preserving Harmony where the banquet was held.But Zhang's hand was pulled and stuffed into an oil-wrapped paper.Looking at the oil-wrapped paper in his hand, he looked at Mrs. Zhang suspiciously.

The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face deepened, and she said flatteringly: "Third Madam, this is the pastry I bought at Piaoxiang Pavilion. I have tasted it and it tastes very good." Seeing no one around, he continued: "Sheng The third master manages a jade pavilion in his hands. As for me, there is a foot-high red coral in the photo, which is gorgeous in color and shaped like the tail of a peacock. The asking price is not cheap. I am looking for you today, just to talk Can this matter be reduced by a few percent?"

The corners of Mo Zihan's mouth turned up, revealing a sneer.Want to buy a red coral at a low price with a pack of broken snacks?Besides, it took a lot of effort to get the red coral plant of Third Master Sheng. It is the treasure of the store, how can it be easily sold?

"How much money did you pay?" Mo Zihan asked with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. Is this a bottom line?Quickly replied: "This number." Open a palm.

"5 taels?" The smile on Mo Zihan's face faded a little.

"500 taels." Mrs. Zhang corrected by shaking her head, her face a bit ugly. 5 taels?Where does the lion open its mouth?If other people see it as in-laws, they will give it away for nothing!Fortunately, I even accepted a package of pastries from her.

Mo Zihan sneered a few times. When Sheng Sanye bought back this red coral, it cost more than 5 taels.This top red coral is priceless in the market, and I want to take it for 500 taels.Are you short-hearted?

"This can't be done, my husband treasures this red coral very much. If Mrs. Qi Er wants this red coral, she can ask her sister to talk to her husband." Mo Zihan changed his voice and threw the burden on Shen Qinglan, hinting: " My elder brother wants this coral, but my husband is not willing to part with it. With my sister's family property and status, it's a breeze. If I have a family property as rich as my sister, but it's just a coral, so what if I give it to you? It's just... you I also know the situation in Shengfu..." With lonely eyes, he stuffed the pastry into Mrs. Zhang's hand: "I have a toothache recently, and the doctor said that sweets are not suitable."

Mrs. Zhang was displeased at first, but when she heard her prompt, she was thoughtful.Looking at the pastry in his hand, he hurriedly went to look for Shen Qinglan.From a distance, I saw Shen Qinglan sitting on the bluestone covered with fox fur, lazily basking in the sun.

"My niece and daughter-in-law are easy to find for my second aunt. When I found out that you were there, I bought you a few pastries for snacks." Mrs. Zhang gave the snacks to Lu Shan with a smile. Lu Shan saw that it was from Piaoxiang Pavilion The pastry, Shen Qinglan talked about it last night, so she opened the oiled paper bag, and there were three small pastries inside, which she could usually eat in one bite.One of them was missing a corner...

Mrs. Zhang saw Lu Shan staring at the incomplete piece of pastry, and said with a sneer, "The items in Piaoxiang Pavilion are very expensive. I was not afraid of being fooled by them, so I twisted a corner and tasted it. It tastes very good."

In fact, the three cakes cost one or two taels of money, so Mrs. Zhang took a dime and returned it to the shopkeeper, and left with a tael of silver.

Shen Qinglan understood Zhang's character in her heart, glanced at the pastry lightly, and said with a smile: "Second Aunt keeps snacks for herself, I have a poor appetite, and I don't like sweets."

Mrs. Zhang was also reluctant to give the pastry to others, it cost a tael of silver, and she was usually reluctant to buy it.If I hadn't asked for something today, I would definitely not follow the ceremony.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, the old lady was promoted, and she fell in love with a red coral. You know, the second aunt is short of money, and she tried her best to collect money, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Thinking of you and Feng'er are also filial children, I'll ask you to borrow some money." Mrs. Zhang thought of Shen Qinglan's generosity, so she took it for granted.

Shen Qinglan lowered her eyelashes halfway, playing with the tassels of the jade pendant, and said with a half-smile: "The old man was promoted, and my husband and I gave him a purple gold inkstone. I have never heard that the old man likes red coral."

Zhang's heart tightened, and Shen Qinglan's indifferent eyes swept over her, and she felt that she was like a crystal, and she could see through it at a glance.He said with a dry smile: "As soon as this person gets old, he is like a child, changing his preferences at any time. These two days, he has been clamoring for a red coral!" My heart is a little drumming, when did Shen Qinglan have such a powerful momentum?
"I don't have much cash on hand, only more than 1000 taels. If my second aunt wants to borrow it, she should make a written note to write the return date, go to the government for filing, and I will give you the silver." Hey, if you easily satisfy her, you will be a bottomless pit, I wish I could suck up your wealth!
Mrs. Zhang's complexion changed slightly, and she said resentfully: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, your family property is quite rich, why bother to cry poorly with your second aunt? When the family was separated, the old man gave Feng'er his share of the family property. Zhuhong coral, if you act like a stingy man, could it be possible that I will swallow your money? But money is a little tight, it’s just a matter of borrowing a few coins, it’s not like playing the autumn wind! Why bother to guard against thieves.”

Shen Qinglan pondered for a while, and said, "Lu Shan, give her some money."

Lu Shan took out three five taels of silver ingots from her purse and handed them to Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang's face turned red, Shen Qinglan was humiliating her!But if you have money, don't waste it!He reached out and snatched it angrily, and stuffed it into his sleeve.Looking up, she saw Shen Qinglan being supported by Lu Shan to leave, spitting at her back: "Bah! You're a miser!"

Going out cursing, she bumped into Mo Zihan head-on. Mrs. Zhang looked unhappy and didn't intend to pay attention.

Mo Zihan called Mrs. Zhang and said, "Second Madam Qi, what does sister say? I just found out what my husband said. If my sister gives me money, he will be willing to be a favor."

It would be better if Mo Zihan didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, he remembered Shen Qinglan's mistake when she saw her talking, and his face was gloomy.I always remember that Qi Jingfeng has a share of the old man's family property in his hand, but it's just a red coral?The Qi family's ancestral property is so big, is it possible that they don't have 5 taels?Who would believe it!

"Second Madam Qi, could it be that my sister doesn't want to?" Mo Zihan saw that Zhang's face was uneasy, and asked tentatively: "Don't mind, my sister has been in a bad mood recently, and she treats everyone like this. I was raised by the general's mansion anyway. When I got married, I brought two sets of clothes to Shengfu." Then, with bitterness in his mouth, he sighed helplessly, and took out a few silver tickets of 100 taels from his sleeve and said, "These silver coins are the red seals of my tea collar for the bride. , Mrs. Qi is in a hurry to use it now, so she will take it first."
