Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 20
Dong Shi and Qi Luo talked with the old lady for a while, nothing more than praising Qi Zhen's beauty and Dong E's virtuous and capable.These beautiful and hypocritical words made Dong feel sour in his stomach, but for the sake of his own family, Dong could only endure it.

The old lady said a little tiredly, "Go talk to Ling Cheng's wife for a while, don't be bored at home all the time, go around the house more, I think Qi Luo is better, and can improve more with Qi Zhen. "

"I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll pay more attention. You should take a rest first, I'll sit with my cousin."

"Well, you go down first, I'm going to rest for a while."

Mrs. Dong E brought Mrs. Dong and the others to their courtyard, and many maids greeted them. Mrs. Dong E proudly waved their hands and said, "It's better to be a small family. We have too many servants in our house. It looked like there was some fuss."

Dong said against his will, "Only people like Tangsao can use these personal hands. If they are placed in our house, they will not fit. Besides, Tangsao is a capable person. Qi Zhen raised her so well."

"That's Miss Zhen. You are not sister-in-laws talking about you. You should have more people in your house. As wives, we have to do everything by ourselves. We have to have the posture of wives, or we will be punished by others." Look down on it."

Mrs. Dong frowned and said, "Sister-in-law is not afraid of your jokes. I also want to have more people, but the family is really difficult. Qi Luo's Ama doesn't earn much, and the family expenses are quite high. I still want to give Qi Luo praised some dowries. There are too many people who can't afford the food and clothing."

Qi Zhen said, "Aunt Tang is being modest, isn't she? I saw that your mansion has been revamped a few days ago. If it is really like what Aunt Tang said? We are a family no matter what. Why can't we hide it? Our family has some money, so if you pay it back, you're afraid that we won't let you borrow it?"

Dong felt that it was all right to be angry with the old lady. After all, she was old, but could she still be angry with little Qi Zhen?What does it matter to them whether they have money in their own family, why do they have to inquire?Do they have to compare us to feel superior?If you don't say something serious, you will be bullied to death by them. Dong's face is long and he said, "Listen to Miss Zhen, our family has to report to you if we want to do something? Although we are not as rich as your family, we still have some face. I won't borrow money from your family either, so please rest assured Miss Zhen. After all, Miss Zhen is still young, and she still doesn't know about some family affairs."

Qi Zhen's face turned red. After all, she is an unmarried girl's family. How can she inquire about other people's financial situation? This is obviously something that three aunts and six wives should do.Seeing this situation, Dong E quickly said, "It's all because of me, but Miss Zhen just cares about the situation of her younger siblings. After all, we are all from the same branch."

Mrs. Dong said slowly, "I know this too. Let's be honest, I have dealt with all my dowry and exchanged some money to tidy up the house and add a small village. This will not only make my life more comfortable, but also make my life more comfortable." some income."

Dong E's family was surprised and said, "I've sold them all, so my brothers and sisters don't think about it? Don't you leave yourself a way out?"

"Those are all dead things. It's better to add a Zhuangzi with some living money. Our house is no better than my cousin sister-in-law. A small family's income is enough."

"My younger brother and sister are very courageous. If you are short of money, let me tell you. We will help if we can. You don't have to be polite with your sister-in-law."

"Understood, if necessary, I must tell my sister-in-law." Dong Shi was really impatient with their entertainment about money, so she said what she had discussed with Ling Zhu.They don't know the details of their own house, and they can deal with the matters on the surface.As for whether they believe it or not, it is beyond their control.

Mrs. Dong E said, "The main reason for calling my siblings this time is because of the old lady's birthday. I discussed it with our master. This is the old lady's [-]th birthday. We have to make good arrangements for her. Invite some people to wish the old lady a birthday, what do you think of my brothers and sisters?"

"Of course it's fine, but we don't know many dignitaries, so we can't help you. If you have something to do, please tell my sister-in-law."

Qi Zhen said, "You don't have to worry about the matter of inviting the nobles. I know many noble girls, and they will all come. Besides, since my Ama joined the eighth prince's family, the eighth elder brother valued him very much. In the imperial court It’s still a bit of face, I think there will be a lot of people coming, and Aunt Tang’s family must pay attention to it, it’s not good to lose face.”

Mrs. Dong E shouted, "Qi Zhen, why are you talking to your aunt? Is there any sense of inferiority?" Then he said apologetically to Mrs. Dong, "This is all for the old lady to get used to. I'm so spoiled, I'm not easy to discipline. Brothers and sisters, don't take it to heart, I'll talk to her well later. "

Mrs. Dong said lightly, "Miss Zhen's words are not pleasant to listen to, but after thinking about it, there is still some truth. Since the cousin and sister-in-law have made arrangements, we can't get in the way even if the old lady's Please ask my sister-in-law to take care of the birthday banquet, and you don’t need to discuss it with us, as long as you look well, we don’t dare to have any opinions!”

"According to what my younger siblings said, the old lady's nephew is only a cousin, no matter how close others can be, we will go. The old lady raised her cousin herself, so can the cousins ​​and younger siblings not respect the old lady? But Well, filial piety also pays attention to doing your best, our master has developed well, so naturally he will put in more effort, and the cousin's family only needs to do their best."

Mrs. Dong wished that Mrs. Dong E would not come to bother them. Seeing Qi Zhen being so arrogant, Ms. Dong hated her. If she had Dong's temper in modern times, she would have refused to associate with them. Mrs. Dong thought helplessly, why is it always here? Will she meet someone she hates but can't get rid of? "Since the sister-in-law said so, the birthday banquet will naturally be dominated by the sister-in-law's family. Our family can't invite any famous people, so there is no need to make special arrangements. I am not as capable as my sister-in-law, who manages a small family. I am very struggling, and my health is really not very good, only my hard-working cousin has to work hard, and I can't do much in big things, I can only help out in small things and do my best."

Mrs. Dong E said, "As long as the siblings have the heart, I will not force too much if I know that the siblings are uncomfortable. Besides, Qi Zhen is a capable girl, and she can help me a lot. Then we will follow our master's wishes. Have a birthday party?"

"That's good. Although we don't have the ability, we hope that the old lady's birthday banquet will be beautiful. Please take care of my sister-in-law."

Mother Rong came in and said, "Ma'am, just now someone came to the door and said that Chu Yan asked Miss Zhen to go to her house to play, how do you think of the answer?"

Qi Zhen said proudly, "Of course I went. Chu Yan is going to get married soon, and she always thinks about me when she has good things and fun. It seems that she really cares about me."

Dong Eshi also said happily, "Then why don't you hurry up and tidy up, Chu Yan is the prince Fujin, most people don't like her at all, you should cherish her if you can make her look different, for you, Ama and you Don't offend Chu Yan Gege in the future."

Qi Zhen glanced at Qi Luo, saw that Qi Luo didn't care, and said bitterly, "Chu Yangege is indeed looked down upon by ordinary people. She comes from a noble background and can't be flattered by others. If Qi Luo wants to go , I will forcefully bring her to see the world, lest others say that she has never seen the world, and make my face look bad."

Dong's brows were deeply frowned, her daughter was more uncomfortable being ridiculed than talking about herself, just about to refute Qi Luo took her hand, "I won't cause trouble for Sister Zhen, I know my own It's serious, I don't want to make friends with those noble girls. I still like a simpler life. Er Niang and Ama didn't expect me to be like Sister Zhen, so Sister Zhen should hurry up and let Chu Yan It’s not good for Ge Ge to wait for a long time.”

"Hmph, I don't know what's good and what's wrong. Others don't know how to get to know Chu Yan? Don't care about you, just live those plain and simple days, and don't regret being laughed at by others in the future." Qi Zhen huffed angrily. gone.

Dong E's said, "This Qi Zhen seems to have taken fire medicine today, which is not usually the case. Qi Luo, don't take it to heart, Qi Zhen also has good intentions, but the words are not good."

Qi Luo smiled faintly and said, "Well, I know, in fact, Sister Zhen also has a hard time dealing with those noble girls. I just simply don't like the life like Sister Zhen, everyone has their own ambitions, how can I blame you?" she!"

Dong Eshi looked at the smiling Qi Luo, and suddenly there was a peaceful and dusty temperament on her body. Qi Luo's appearance seemed to suddenly become delicate and delicate, especially the calmness and wisdom revealed in the eyes, coupled with The expensive but not flashy, elegant and clean attire made Qi Luo look very harmonious and beautiful, attracting attention very much.Dong Eshi suddenly thought of the words of that wandering old monk, could it be that Qi Luo would really become an invaluable person?Is it true that my own daughter can't get it because of all the tricks?Dong Eshi shook his head in his heart, no, definitely not, we have the trump card in hand, and Qi Zhen has already met the eighth elder brother first, and has the upper hand, her daughter is charming and luxurious, and she will definitely not be taken by Qi Luo In comparison, my family will definitely be more noble because of Qi Zhen in the future, and I will enjoy all the glory and wealth because of Qi Zhen.

Dong looked at the silent Dong E and said, "If my sister-in-law has nothing to do, I will leave. I don't know why I feel a little tired, and I want to sleep well."

"It's nothing, brother and sister, let's go back and rest quickly. If it's not good, you must consult a doctor. Don't let a minor illness turn into a serious illness, then it's not good. Tell me what medicinal materials to use."

Qi Luo said, "I will pay attention, and I will definitely take good care of Er Niang, and you will have to worry about the birthday banquet."
