Chapter 269 I have a coffin shop
Qin Liuxi left when she saw the matter was over. As for the concentric suet white jade pendant returned by the Wen family, she didn't even look at it, let alone be greedy.
It was Mrs. Xie, who looked at the box, pointed and said: "Mother, this marriage is divorced, what about this token?"
Since it can be used as a trustworthy object, it is naturally worth a lot. The Qin family was not defeated at that time, and although Qin Mingmu was a concubine, he was also the first son and grandson of their generation. I didn't give too bad a token either.
Now that they have returned it, if this token is to be sold on consignment, it will be worth a few hundred taels less.
Old lady Qin could see what Xie was thinking at a glance, she clasped the box and said, "Since the engagement is divorced, don't make any more tokens, it's just a jade pendant."
She handed it to Nanny Ding and said, "Keep it away, it will be useful in the future."
Seeing this, Mrs. Xie's eyes were a little red, as if someone had snatched a large sum of money from the purse, and her heart ached.
It was their eldest son's marriage that was returned, so why should she, as the aunt, keep the returned token?
But she was dissatisfied in her heart, and she didn't dare to say a word.
"Mother, do you think what Xiyatou said is accurate? The girl from the Wen family used this excuse to divorce the engagement, right?" Mrs. Xie muttered.
The old lady Qin leaned on the big pillow, and said lazily: "Is it an excuse? It doesn't matter anymore. This marriage is divorced, can you still go back on it?"
"The daughter-in-law is just unhappy. The girl of the Wen family, not to mention her appearance is ordinary, but she is the daughter of a fourth-rank official. She was considered high-ranking when she was able to marry our family. Now that our family has collapsed, Just come to annul the engagement, we were really blind back then."
Old lady Qin raised her eyelids: "The Wen family is kind enough to withdraw from the marriage contract that didn't even change the marriage certificate. Look at Mei Niang, the girl has given birth to two, so she just gave up and went home."
Xie's lips pursed.
"People's hearts are cold, and the real in-laws can draw a clear line and avoid it, let alone the quasi-in-laws who have changed tokens?" The old lady Qin understood that she couldn't be angry, but she just felt sad in her heart, and felt that others were once again taking practical actions. Wake her up.
The Qin family is indeed different from the past.
She closed her eyelids again, and said: "Don't mention this matter again, even if the Wen family doesn't come to cancel the engagement, the girl is old, and it is really necessary to talk about marriage. I don't know what is going on with Mingmu, and the Qin family is like this. A decent dowry for him to marry a bride?"
It's all fate, just look at the future.
Xie doesn't care, she just loves that piece of pendant.
Far away in the northwest, Qin Mingmu was walking forward with a basket of stones on his back. Suddenly, he felt a sore heart, tears came out, and his legs knelt on the ground.
"Whatever you do, you can recite it if you can, and if you can't, go home and eat milk." The supervisor came over with a whip, flicked it on the open space, and rolled up a mouthful of sand.
Qin Mingmu gritted his teeth, forced down the soreness in his heart, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up shaking his legs, and walked forward again.
…
Qin Liuxi followed Wang into her room. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wan Yiniang's skirt and flashed back to the room, and quietly licked the corner of his lips.
Nurse Shen served tea for the two of them, and retreated to the door.
"If it is the horoscope given by the mother, it is not 100% but 80%."
Wang sighed when she heard the words, and said: "When your eldest brother was born, your second aunt claimed to be sick, and I took Mother Shen to watch the birth. The horoscope at that time was correct. What kind of fake did you break? Please don't spread the word of pure yang life, and it will save him a difficult marriage in the future."
"I won't talk too much." Qin Liuxi curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, he is not a widower who dies alone, there will always be a woman who is suitable for him, it just depends on the timing of appearance. "
Mrs. Wang hummed and sighed: "In your generation, your elder brother is the only one who got married, and that's why we got married. In fact, we only talked about it in May this year, but I didn't expect that before the marriage certificate could be changed, something happened in the family. I thought the Wen family was kind and didn't divorce, but I didn't want to come here now."
"The Wen family is indeed kind, otherwise, when you leave Beijing, you will come to withdraw this kiss."
Mrs. Wang choked, gave her an angry look, and said: "This is the case in our family. It is natural for people to divorce this marriage, but after being divorced, I feel unhappy after all. Don't talk too much in front of your grandmother and second aunt, so as not to worry about it." The thorn got deeper and deeper."
Qin Liuxi said slyly: "Don't worry, I'm not free enough to gossip with them all day long."
"You child." Wang raised her finger and nodded her.
Qin Liuxi said: "Brother, they will come back, don't worry."
Ms. Wang's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked over, she had already served tea, so she suppressed her joy and said hello.
It’s good to be back.
Qin Liuxi put down his teacup, and said: "I was busy changing the golden statue of the patriarch before. I'm busy these days. I might take a trip to Ningzhou Prefecture in two days. I'm afraid I won't be at home for some days."
"You have to leave home again?" Wang groaned and said, "Then you have to take someone with you?"
"When the time comes, I will take Chen Pi with me. Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Qin Liuxi said, "I'll go out later to visit a person, the head of the Zhihe Academy in Licheng, for Xiaowu and Qin Mingqi. They want a degree."
"It's the head of the mountain?" Wang didn't expect that she had such connections, so she said, "Then I'll arrange a gift for you to take with you."
"No, I'll take care of it myself." Qin Liuxi explained again, "I've known him for a long time, and I know his preferences better than you. Later, during the holidays, you just need to make some arrangements."
Wang nodded.
"How is the candied fruit shop going? But there is something that hinders it. Is there enough money? If not, I still have it here, and the eight hundred taels you gave me before are still there."
"I have selected a shop. I went to see it in person. The location is not bad. It's not too big, but there is a backyard. But we haven't made candied fruit yet. We first spread out the shop and waited for a while. The profit is good, and we will expand.” Wang said with a smile: “Now it’s about finding people and selecting materials for production. It’s slow, but business is like this. Don’t be in a hurry. The most important thing is to find a clean and tidy craft. people."
Qin Liuxi heard the words and said: "I heard from Qihuang that the eldest aunt has been resigned from her job. You might as well call her back to help you. It will be more worry-free for your own people. Just pay her a salary."
"Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll tell her later. There are still your third aunt and your second aunt at home, so I can free myself. I'm tired, but I won't think about it when I'm busy." Wang's eyebrows were clear, and he said: "I told you before, what can you think of doing with that small private house money? It can only be smaller if you find a shop with this little money."
"No, I have a shop."
"Really? Where is it?"
"Shouxifang, a coffin shop."
Wang's smile froze at the corner of his mouth: "?"
