Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 290
At this moment, a large carriage stopped in front of Ye's house, and Mrs. Ye got out of the carriage. As soon as she saw the gorgeous bed, she immediately leaned on her crutches, endured the pain in her back and quickened a few steps, wishing to roll her eyes. glued to the bed.

"This bed is so beautiful..." Mrs. Ye touched the bed and sighed, the greedy look in her eyes was very obvious.

"Old lady, don't touch it. This bed is very expensive. Look, there are gems on it. If you touch it, can you afford it?" It was not the most expensive, and he immediately blocked it nervously.

"What's wrong with touching it twice?" Mrs. Ye immediately became angry, pointing to Ye Qiongdan and said, "I am the old lady of this family, and she is my granddaughter! If I want to break a bed made by my granddaughter, I will do so." If one is broken, if you want to break ten, just break ten! Our family is very rich, and it's not your turn to worry about it!"

"You old lady, why do you talk like that?" The guys got angry.

"I can say more outrageous things. I don't know if the world laughs at the poor or the prostitutes!" Mrs. Ye snorted coldly, and glanced at Ye Qiongdan, "Will you give me this bed?"

"No." Ye Qiongdan said desperately.

"Okay, you forced me to do this! Someone will make you compromise!" Mrs. Ye took a deep breath, opened her throat, and shouted, "Ye Youshi! Ye Youshi! You give I'll come out! If you don't come out, don't blame me for talking nonsense!"

When You Yue'e in the house heard Mrs. Ye's voice, she hurried out.

"Old lady, you...why are you here?" As soon as You Yue'e saw her, she timidly turned her head away, not daring to meet her eyes.

Mrs. Ye was very satisfied with her frightened appearance, and smiled smugly.

"Ye Youshi, I've taken a fancy to this bed, do you have any objections?" Mrs. Ye pursed her sunken lips and drooped her eyelids meanly.

"It's not my bed, girl Dan paid for it," You Yue'e said hastily, "Besides, this bed is inlaid with gold and silver, colorfully painted, and embellished with precious stones, how expensive is it? , how do you have the heart to let Dan girl give you such an expensive bed? If you want to change the bed, I will go to the shop some other day and spend ten taels of silver to make you a beautiful bed!"

"Ten taels of silver? You think you're sending a beggar!" Mrs. Ye was furious. The more they refused to give her this bed, the more she had to take it away. "I don't agree! I don't agree. I just want to take this bed away! Don't forget, you still have something in my hands, and the three girls in your second room don't want to..."

"Give it up!" You Yue'e interrupted her, and said to Ye Qiongdan with an aggrieved look, "Girl Dan, this time it's the second aunt's favor, don't worry, another day The second aunt will definitely pay you some money."

"Second Aunt, don't you feel it is against your conscience when you say this?" Ye Qiongdan deliberately quarreled with her, "How much money did I spend to make this bed, how much money will you pay me? Can you pay me a fifth of it?" One, I’m lucky, you’ve always been stingy, do you think I’m a fool? I’ll believe your words!”

"Today you have to agree if you don't agree!"

"You are unreasonable!"

"They're all relatives of my own family, so I'm just being unreasonable!"

……

Ye Qiongdan and You Yue'e quarreled violently, which made Mrs. Ye burst into joy.

She hated You Yue'e and Ye Qiongdan very much.

Now, the two people she hates the most are fighting each other, which really makes her whole body feel at ease!
Mrs. Ye hurriedly ordered the assistant to move the bed to the carriage, and then hurriedly gave the carriage driver a wink, and told the carriage driver to run away with the carriage.

When the carriage disappeared around the corner of the street, Ye Qiongdan stopped arguing with You Yue'e and asked solemnly, "Is everything arranged?"

"It was arranged in the morning," You Yue'e said with a smile, "It's almost noon, let's come in for dinner."

"What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" Xu Mingzhu on the side asked curiously, "When you were arguing just now, I almost helped Qiongdan in the quarrel, and then I saw Qiongdan give me a hand. I winked, is there something wrong with that bed?"

Ye Qiongdan waved for the guys to leave, and then led Xu Mingzhu into the house, and told her about the special features of the bed.

"So interesting?" Xu Mingzhu laughed in surprise, "So, the reason you quarreled before was to make her lower her guard, thinking that you took this bed very seriously, so she wouldn't suspect that there was something in it Tired of it?"

"That's right!" Ye Qiongdan nodded.

"That old hag, just now saw us quarreling so happily, she should look ashen tonight!" You Yue'e said proudly.

"If this matter is done properly, it will basically be settled once and for all." Ye Qiongdan let out a long breath.

"What about Wan's Commercial Bank?" You Yue'e asked.

"Let them wait, I'll talk to Wu's Chamber of Commerce first." Ye Qiongdan said nonchalantly.

Qinghe County, Wan's Commercial Firm.

In the best private room in Wanbao Tea House, a table is filled with exquisite refreshments. The salty and sweet desserts are all made like a freehand painting.

In the teapot, the best tea is brewed.

By the window, there are precious orchids.

In the corner, there is a cool ice basin.

Steward Zhou leaned against the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and casually opened his folding fan, fanning the wind gently.

"Knock, knock..."

There was a knock on the door.

Zhou Guanshi's eyes lit up, thinking that a distinguished guest had arrived, so he sat back at the table leisurely, set out the tea cup, and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Unexpectedly, the person who came in was not the distinguished guest he invited, but the servant he sent out.

The young man took out an invitation card and handed it to Steward Zhou nervously, saying tremblingly, "Master Steward, this invitation was not sent out."

"What's going on?" Zhou Guanshi frowned.

"Ye Youshi from the Second Room sent me away, saying that she can make the decision, and declined our invitation."

"She can make the decision?" Zhou Guanshi snorted coldly.

"That's right," the servant nodded, "She also said that what she meant was what Ms. Ye meant."

"Miss Ye is not in the house?"

"Not here," the boy shook his head, "After dinner last night, she left. Didn't there be news that Miss Xu was rescued early this morning? It is estimated that she and Miss Xu both stayed in the county last night. inside."

Just then, the knock on the door rang again.

"Come in." Zhou Guanshi said with some displeasure.

This time it was the beaming old lady Ye who came in. She was leaning on crutches, and she didn't even feel unbearable back pain.

When her eyes fell on those snacks, she swallowed so much that even Manager Zhou could hear her voice.

He asked with some dissatisfaction: "Old lady Ye, why are you here?"

"Come and get the rest of the money," Mrs. Ye said with a sneer, "Is that done?"

Manager Zhou didn't speak, nor did he look at her, his attitude was very indifferent.

The young man observed Steward Zhou's expression, and explained cautiously: "Earlier this morning, the steward ordered the younger one to send invitations to Ye's house. Unexpectedly, Ms. Ye was not in the house. Today, the business has not been negotiated." .”

"Then invite me tomorrow!" Mrs. Ye became more confident when she thought of having such a high-status granddaughter, "Don't worry, she will definitely come!"

"How do you see it?" The boy leaned over and asked.

"She has nothing to do with me now!" Mrs. Ye triumphantly told the story of her snatching Ye Qiongdan's bed. At the end, she added, "She has nothing to do with me now, but with Ye You There is nothing you can do about it, this girl is very smart outside, but she can't get up at home."

Hearing this, Zhou Guanshi's gloomy mood improved.

"Are you telling the truth?" Steward Zhou raised his eyelids.

"Then there can still be fakes!" Mrs. Ye swore, "My lord, just go and invite her tomorrow, and I promise you will be sure!"

"Then I will accept the old lady's good words." Manager Zhou laughed.

"Then... the money should be given?" Mrs. Ye said greedily.

"That can't be done," Manager Zhou shook his head, "This matter hasn't been settled yet, how can I give the money first? There's no reason for that. Old lady, don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it's you I won’t run away, otherwise, won’t I be laughed at as a big businessman?”

"Then this dim sum..." Mrs. Ye stretched out her hand and tapped her saliva, touching a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings.

Manager Zhou was disgusted at seeing this, and felt that this old lady was really vulgar.

"If the old lady likes it, take it away."

"Then take it all away!" The old lady smiled, "You are a big businessman, and you don't care for such a table of dim sum. Xiao Er! Come in!"

Manager Zhou's face turned slightly cold. In order to entertain this distinguished guest, Ye Qiongdan, this table of refreshments alone is worth more than 100 taels of silver. This old lady is really greedy and disgusting.

But when he thought that he would be able to entertain Ye Qiongdan tomorrow and negotiate with her about signing the contract, his mood immediately improved again.

Forget it, what is the loss of 100 taels?
It's like feeding an old dog.

After Xiao Er came in, he wrapped the refreshments on the table with oiled paper and sent them to the carriage below.

Before leaving, Mrs. Ye said again: "My lord, it's not easy for me to come all the way, why don't you settle the car money for me?"

Zhou Guanshi suddenly felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

He waved his hand annoyedly, and signaled the boy to follow Mrs. Ye downstairs, and settle the car money for her.

The old lady got into the carriage, looked at the assortment of hundreds of refreshments in the carriage, and sighed: "It's the emperor's mother, you only use so many refreshments before meals, right? Ye Qiongdan, your hair hasn't even grown yet." Little girl, do you dare to fight with me? Sooner or later, I will get all the wool back from your fat sheep."

"Coachman! Drive back to Shanghe Village!" Mrs. Ye yelled again.

"Old lady, it's already noon, give me a bag of snacks." The driver joked.

"You have a good idea!" Mrs. Ye spat contemptuously, spitting thick phlegm on his shoe.

The coachman was completely lost in the mood by the bad-tempered old woman. Along the way, he drove the carriage very bumpy as if torturing her.

So, Mrs. Ye scolded him all the way, and his good mood was ruined.

When approaching Shanghe Village, the carriage stopped suddenly, causing Mrs. Ye to stagger and almost hit her head.

"I'm going to die!" Mrs. Ye yelled, "Why are you driving? You're driving in such a hurry, how dare your mother is about to have a funeral?"

"Old lady, a Taoist priest stopped the car." The coachman said helplessly.
