The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 31: Both soft and hard tactics
In a short while, the grandparents and grandchildren were already sitting in the house. Although Qin Zimu was a little stutterer, he was not stupid.
I talked about some of the things that happened in Taihe County today.
Old Mrs. Qin was stunned when she heard this.
When she heard that Qin Ruo was being harassed by the new manager of Fumanlou, she frowned.
The next sentence she heard was that a nanny from a wealthy family came and bought all the game in the family in one go. The corners of Old Lady Qin's mouth were grinning to her ears.
Without blinking, she urged Qin Zimu to continue.
There was never a moment when Old Lady Qin felt that Qin Zimu's stuttering problem needed to be cured.
It's so frustrating!
When she heard Qin Ruo being scolded by Nanny Zhang as "How insolent!", her heart rose to her throat.
The next second, Qin Zimu was heard talking vividly about the three of them being invited into the mansion by a nobleman, and Old Lady Qin's face was filled with smiles.
Although she had never been to Taihe County, she didn't know what kind of wealthy family the Xie Mansion was.
But after hearing Qin Zimu's description, there were dozens of servants and maids alone, he was so shocked that he held his breath.
An old lady has dozens of people serving her, how powerful must she be?
Hearing that the old lady not only personally arranged for the butler to send the person off, but also booked a banquet for them, Old Lady Qin looked very proud.
She had never thought that her insignificant granddaughter could have such good fortune.
Qin Ruo had very good hearing. Although the grandparents and grandchildren were talking in low voices next door, she could hear them clearly.
She almost laughed.
Qin Ruo didn't expect that Qin Zimu would have such a side to him. He actually knew how to whet Old Lady Qin's appetite and was so cunning.
For example, when Old Lady Qin asked him how much the game sold for, he immediately changed the subject and talked about the aura of Aunt Zhang.
When asked what reward his noble lady had given Qin Ruo, he started talking about how magnificent the three-story mansion of the Xie Mansion was.
Old Mrs. Qin's emotions fluctuated greatly as she followed Qin Zimu's description, and she was led by Qin Zimu throughout the whole process.
When Qin Zimu went out and came back with two large food boxes, Old Mrs. Qin was so excited that she covered her chest with her hands.
Looking at the exquisite pastries in the food box whose names I couldn’t tell, as well as dishes I had never seen before.
She had completely forgotten about money.
This taciturn granddaughter of mine actually caught the eye of an important person.
For the first time, Old Lady Qin felt that her granddaughter had become very capable. Now Qin Ruo's status in her heart instantly rose several levels.
But she still felt a little regretful in her heart. If Dalang had gone back later, she could have taken some away.
However, Old Lady Qin only dared to think about this in her heart, for fear that Qin Ruo would hear it and give her a bad look.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at the pastries in the food box and swallowed her saliva several times.
Because Qin Zimu was still present and she had just had a conflict with Qin Ruo, she couldn't bring herself to reach out and take it.
"Grandma, try it, it's delicious."
Qin Zimu looked at the ever-changing expression on Old Lady Qin's face, cleverly picked up a piece of dragon beard pastry and put it close to Old Lady Qin's mouth.
Old Mrs. Qin put on airs and pretended to refuse a few times, then took a bite.
When she finished eating the piece of dragon beard cake, she even kept the crumbs on her hands.
She made up her mind to go for a walk in the village early tomorrow morning when there were many people around, taking the snacks that the Xie family had sent to her family.
Let those blind people in the village see that the Qin family is not bad.
Even in Taihe County, we also know some noble people.
Old Mrs. Qin quickly replaced the pastries that Old Madam Xie gave to Qin Ruo with those given to the Qin family.
He even began to hypnotize himself, and by the time Qin Zimu finished speaking haltingly, half an hour had passed.
Old Mrs. Qin sat at the head of the bed, rubbing the silver melon seeds in her hand over and over again.
Finally, reluctantly, he stuffed the purse back into Qin Zimu's hand.
"Since it was given to you by a noble, and your sister told you to keep it, then you can keep it."
"Use it sparingly, don't waste it!"
When she said this, Old Lady Qin felt her heart bleeding.
That’s one tael of silver!
One or two taels.
Qin Zimu looked at the wallet that returned to his hand, feeling puzzled.
He couldn't understand why his grandmother was such a money-loving person.
Those who had given them a few cents during the Chinese New Year felt like they were cutting off their own flesh and blood, but now they say they don’t want it.
Qin Zimu had no idea that Old Lady Qin had other plans in mind.
She was doing this for Qin Ruo to see.
Let Qin Ruo see that he is a sensible person and does not value money so much.
She has to play the long game to catch the big fish.
Old Mrs. Qin kept comforting herself, thinking that since the girl had caught the nobleman's eye today, she would have great luck in the future.
We can't lose our sense of proportion for such a small gain.
She can be so nice to Erlang but look down on Dalang, isn't it because Erlang is so obedient?
At worst, she could just go along with that little bitch in the future. She didn't believe Qin Ruo's heart was made of iron.
Old Mrs. Qin repeatedly built up her mental strength and hypnotized herself.
Seeing that Qin Zimu was standing there motionless, Old Lady Qin forced herself not to look at the purse and pushed Qin Zimu out of the room.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would regret it.
Qin Zimu, who had "lost and found" the silver melon seeds, left happily.
By the time of dinner, Old Mrs. Qin had calmed down.
The money has been spent. With so much rice, there is no problem eating it until next year.
Although eating refined rice feels like chewing silver and the pain in the flesh is unbearable.
But it smells really good.
Looking at the table full of food that Qin Ruo had packed back, it felt like even her own Chinese New Year was not as sumptuous as this.
Although it was leftovers, she didn't dislike it at all and ate the meal with great relish.
Qin Zimu got new clothes, new shoes and a new quilt, and also kept his own little treasury. He smiled all night long.
Qin Ruo knows how to give a sweet reward after a hard time.
After dinner, she casually threw a silver hairpin to Old Lady Qin.
"Oh my god, this is silver? Why are you wasting that money? You can't eat or drink it..."
Old Mrs. Qin was in a panic as she took the simple silver hairpin and her problem came back again.
She muttered to herself, but in fact she was already beaming with joy in her heart.
But before she could finish her words, Qin Ruo ignored her and stood up and left.
Old Mrs. Qin wanted to say a few more hypocritical words, but they were all useless.
Old Mrs. Qin had no choice but to smile awkwardly and then shut her mouth obediently.
After chatting with Qin Zimu, she felt a little jealous when she learned that Qin Ruo bought new clothes, new shoes and a new quilt for Erlang.
After getting the silver hairpin, the previous sour feeling had long disappeared.
After cleaning up the kitchen very neatly, she immediately returned to her room and laughed out loud at the hairpin.
After a moment, she looked around like a thief.
After making sure that there was no one in the yard, she quickly fetched a basin of water and happily tried on the silver hairpin in the moonlight.
