The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 80 Gathering for Gifts
"Um... Ruo girl, this is something that the Xie family sent specially for you. How can we always take advantage of you? We'll just eat the dumplings..."
Old Mrs. Zhou spoke first and politely declined Qin Ruo's kindness.
Every member of the Zhou family nodded in agreement with what Old Lady Zhou said.
"You're not friends, are you? How can we, the Qin family, finish all these dishes? It's cold in this weather, so it doesn't matter if we wrap the dumplings. We can freeze them if we can't finish them."
"You have been running around for our family all this time, and now you are building a shed for me without asking for a penny. If you continue to be polite, I will have to calculate how much money I owe you."
Qin Ruo knew how to get along with the Zhou family, and she interrupted them as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Oh, what's the point of a little Ruo girl? Good! Good! I'll take advantage of you today and try the dishes of Qingfeng Restaurant..."
Old Mrs. Zhou took Qin Ruo's hand, patted the back of her hand and said with a smile.
There are eight people in the Zhou family, plus twelve people in the Qin family, and they can't even fit at one table.
Zhou Dazhui's father Zhou Cheng and his wife Bai took the initiative to move another table into the main room, preparing to divide the table into two.
When Old Mrs. Zhou was about to help Old Mrs. Qin out of the house, Zhou Erzhu ran in from outside the yard, panting, carrying a basket.
"Grandma, Sister Ruo, I'm afraid we won't be able to have our meal..."
"Speak properly! What happened?" Old Mrs. Zhou slapped Zhou Erzhu on the head. She clearly asked the child to go home to get the dishes and chopsticks, so why did he come back again? And he spoke strangely.
"Look for yourselves, another carriage is coming."
Zhou Erzhu covered his head, waved to Qin Ruo and Old Lady Zhou, pointed outside and spoke loudly.
Everyone left their seats and followed him out.
When he looked up, he saw three carriages slowly approaching the gate of the Qin family's courtyard.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he was here to look for Qin Ruo again.
"There are guests coming to visit, Dalang, go and prepare some tea, and Dazhu, go and lend a hand." Old Mrs. Zhou reacted quickly and gave the orders.
Zhou Dazhui and Qin Ziyan nodded and hurried to the kitchen.
Qin Ruo herself was also feeling very puzzled. She had just sent Shopkeeper Lin away, so why was there someone else coming?
When she saw the shopkeeper of Qingfengju, Doctor Feng of Xinglintang, and Cang Jiu, who she had met in the mountains before and was following Si Heng, getting off two horses respectively, her expression became subtle.
Several people greeted Qin Ruo and exchanged pleasantries.
The shopkeeper of Qingfengju smiled and said, "Miss Qin, I am sorry to bother you. After Mr. Mingjing learned that Miss Qin had solved the chess game, he has been thinking about meeting you."
"It's a pity that Mr. Mingjing is out of town and hasn't been able to come back yet. As it happens, today is the winter solstice, so I've prepared a small gift for Miss Qin. I hope Miss Qin will accept it."
The shopkeeper of Qingfengju seemed to be afraid that Qin Ruo would refuse, so he turned around and ordered the servants who came with him to move the things off the carriage.
The first thing that was brought up was something in a square wooden box, followed by a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables, and finally a huge food basket.
"Miss Qin, this white jade chess set and fruits were all brought back by Mr. Mingjing. Mr. Mingjing said that the chess set is a gift to the destined person, and the fruits are all grown on Mr. Mingjing's farm."
"Well... this food box contains some of Qingfengju's signature cakes and two kilograms of tea. This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it."
"Miss Qin, please don't make excuses, otherwise I will have a hard time reporting to Mr. Mingjing."
The shopkeeper of Qingfengju was very good at dealing with people, and he stopped Qin Ruo from speaking before she even opened her mouth.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Please also thank Mr. Mingjing on my behalf. Please tell Mr. Mingjing that I am waiting for him to visit my humble home at any time."
Qin Ruo took over the words from the shopkeeper of Qingfengju and spoke generously without any hesitation.
Qin Ziyan watched Qin Ruo and the owner of Qingfengju chatting and laughing freely, and felt very complicated.
In fact, his worry that Qin Ruo didn't know how to treat people and didn't know etiquette didn't exist at all.
After delivering the gift, the shopkeeper of Qingfengju went back home immediately without even drinking a sip of water.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Qin Ruo again.
Today, on the way to deliver gifts to Qin Ruo, I happened to meet Doctor Feng from Xinglin Hall and Cang Jiu from Xie Mansion, so we came together.
Just now at the entrance of the village, I met Manager Lin of Qingfeng Restaurant who was heading back to Taihe County.
After a conversation, they realized that they were both going for the girl from the Qin family.
I thought to myself that this little girl from the Qin family is really not an ordinary person.
Old Mrs. Qin was lying on the bed listening to the noise outside and could no longer lie still.
She struggled to get out of bed, slowly walked to the door and leaned against the wall, staring at the two carriages parked in her yard and Qin Ruo who was greeting the doctor from Xinglintang.
"Oh my goodness! My dear ancestor, why did you come out by yourself? You just got better. What if you fall?"
Old Mrs. Zhou was the first to notice Old Mrs. Qin, and she quickly went forward to help her sit down on a stool nearby.
Qin Ruo, who was exchanging polite words with Doctor Feng, turned around and glanced at Old Lady Qin.
When Old Lady Qin met Qin Ruo's gaze, she immediately forced a smile.
"Um... Ruo girl, I'm just bored in bed and want to go out for a walk. I'll go back now..."
Qin Ruo felt uncomfortable because of Mr. Qin's humble and flattering smile.
No need!
Since the original owner didn't blame Old Lady Qin, she naturally wouldn't keep taking it for granted.
"Now that you're up, don't go back. It's not good to lie down all day. It just so happens that Doctor Feng from Xinglin Hall is here. It would be nice if he could take a look at you." Qin Ruo said lightly.
"Is this, is this appropriate..." Old Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Ruo, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, what's wrong with that, old sister-in-law? It's a small matter. Miss Qin is a distinguished guest of our Xinglin Hall. It is an honor for me to serve Miss Qin."
Doctor Feng walked forward cheerfully, first observed the old lady Qin's face, and then reached out to feel her pulse.
The old lady looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness, and her whole body exuded a sense of weakness.
Doctor Feng looked normal at first, but when he placed his hand on Old Lady Qin's pulse, his expression began to become unpredictable.
"To put it bluntly, this old sister-in-law should have been on her last legs..."
When Doctor Feng said this, he stopped talking and turned his gaze to Qin Ruo.
Could it be that Granny Qin's condition has changed?
The Zhou family and the Qin Ziyan brothers listened to what Doctor Feng had only said half of the words, their hearts pounding and they dared not breathe.
"Haha, you don't have to be nervous. My sister-in-law is lucky. She must have taken a miraculous medicine a few hours ago. Now her life has been restored. She can be considered to have saved her life. She will drink some tonic medicine later on, and she will recover slowly."
Qin Ruo raised her eyebrows as she listened to what Doctor Feng said.
Doctor Feng is really good. He actually described Mrs. Qin's condition about 70% correctly.
After taking Qin Ruo's pulse, Doctor Feng bowed to her and said respectfully, "Excuse me, Miss Qin, may I borrow the medicine your grandmother took?"
"It was obtained by chance, and this is the only one. Sorry, Doctor Feng." Qin Ruo responded with a smile.
Of course it is impossible to have only this one.
Old Mrs. Zhou saw Qin Ruo take out the medicine bottle with her own eyes. When she saw Qin Ruo said this, she naturally would not speak carelessly and cause trouble for Qin Ruo.
"No! No! I was rude." Doctor Feng looked a little disappointed and apologized quickly.
Cang Jiu, who had been silent all the time, twitched his mouth. Is Miss Qin kidding me?
