little petite wife taming general

Chapter 16
"I just know what to say, I asked your shopkeeper, where is Shizuo staying!" Ma Shi laughed and cursed, Xiao Er touched his head and laughed, and shouted: "There is a customer who came to look for the shopkeeper, and it is a female customer. "

It was so early in the morning that there were no customers, and there were only a few guys and cooks in the store.Everyone laughed together and came to scold Xiao Er: "Nonsense!" Mrs. Ma snorted a few times: "If you are the magistrate's wife, you dare to do this!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ma hated Fengluan, the maid of the Zhou family. She is usually at home, and she can only be regarded as a small family.If Guo Pu is found, even though he is seriously injured, he will be ordered by the imperial court.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Ma was shocked. Yes, when Guo Pu was promoted to rank five general, he sent back a golden order.Oh, this girl is very good, she should have thought this way when she hit her!
Ma Shi hurriedly walked inside, and almost collided with the shopkeeper Mao who was coming outside.Ma Shi held the hairpin on his head with his hands: "Be careful, this is the yellow one that I just fried."

Shopkeeper Mao saw that it was her, and joked, "Third Grandma, you're dressed up brightly today, didn't you put it on specially for coming to me?"

"You are about to be in trouble, and you dare to say such things!" Mrs. Ma scolded him again angrily, the shopkeeper Mao was stunned, Mrs. Ma pushed him: "Call your wife quickly, let's talk in the room. "

Grandma Guo San, I'm here to provoke you today!Absolutely not, let the girl of the Zhou family get something good!
Mao Yuan, the eldest son of the Mao family, was sitting behind the wooden counter to settle the accounts. Seeing that Mrs. Guo's words were so scary, he put down his pen and went to the back, obedient next door to his parents.

Grandma Guo San's voice was not low, and she said angrily at first: "The money owed by the Zhou family, you must hurry up!" Mao Yuan heard it clearly, and was terribly frightened.

Phoenix?What came to his mind was Feng Luan's white and plump face.Mao Yuan tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, but his mother refused to agree, and neither did he himself.

Reluctantly, his father insisted on retiring, and asked the Zhou family to return all the betrothal gifts, which made the already hard-hit Zhou family even worse.Mao Yuan was a little distracted, why did he talk about Zhou's family?
Mrs. Ma was in the room, and shopkeeper Mao and his wife Mrs. Lin sat on the main seats.The husband and wife listened with serious expressions, and Mrs. Ma was about to dance: "The Zhou family only refunded your daughter's betrothal gift, and I heard that there is still one or two hundred taels of silver that have not been paid back."

Shopkeeper Mao scrutinized Ma Shi cunningly, and deliberately pretended not to care and said: "The marriage of the children is because they are getting older, and they are not suitable for each other. I promised the money from the partnership at the beginning. Now that Zhou Shiyuan is not a good person, how can he come to the door?" To persecute?"

Mao Lin also said: "Grandma Guo, what you said is inappropriate. Let the neighbors know that they think our family is persecuting the Zhou family."

Mrs. Ma said sharply: "Grandma Mao, you are a straight-hearted person, shopkeeper Mao, you are not. Well, the children and marriages have been arranged for these years, and if something happens to the Zhou family, it is not appropriate! Don't say it in front of Mingren." Secret words, you also have a share of the Zhou family’s partnership money, and our family also has a share. At the beginning, you thought it was a big deal, but after all the calculations, you didn’t expect that there would be robbers! Shopkeeper Mao, am I right or not?”

"Oh, that's not true." Shopkeeper Mao was very embarrassed.Mrs. Ma sneered: "Such a foolproof business has led to robbers. Your shopkeeper Mao has only money in his eyes, and he has forgotten the decades of friendship, and the friendship between his sons and daughters and relatives. Even if you don't need an abacus, you can figure out the Zhou family You have lost a lot of money this time. As for you, of course you can figure it out. After the Zhou family lost the money, the house will be bare. You are a smart person, you are the first to come to the door to ask for money, and your dowry is also worthless. When you come back, seven or eight tenths of your partnership money will be returned, and the Zhou family has resigned in a fit of anger, and you have almost tormented them, otherwise, these people would have paid back their money a long time ago."

Ma Shi spoke cleanly and happily, and Mao Yuan next door felt dizzy.Hold on to the wall with your hand and think about it, it really is.At the beginning, the bride price was 2000 taels, but they all had to come back later.This week's family is not tossed around in my own family.Otherwise, even though the Zhou family was exhausted, they would not be in arrears.

Mrs. Ma was still saying in the room: "You pretended to be very kind, and you left one or two hundred silver to let the Zhou family take a step back. In fact, you retired because you were afraid that the Zhou family would find you when they were exhausted. You are an in-law , his daughter was given to you, so of course he will be the first to look for you. Shopkeeper Mao, you have offended the Zhou family deeply, if someone offends you like this, you will have to look for it in the future, right?"

"The third grandma is so eloquent and thoughtful." Shopkeeper Mao no longer hides it here, it's all neighbors, everyone can see clearly.He simply admitted it straight away, and then smiled slyly: "My Mao family's family business is only a few thousand taels of silver. It is not unlucky to encounter robbers when going out for business. Our family has never been with unlucky people."

Mao Lin scolded her husband: "You snobbish!" Mao Yuan listened next door, thinking that his mother scolded her well.

Mao Lin was furious and scolded, but in fact she was not in charge of the family.Shopkeeper Mao scolded her back with staring eyes: "Get out! Get out and work!" Mao Lin choked in anger, his hands and feet were sore and he couldn't move for a while, but said weakly: "Feng Luan, he is a good boy, he was born well, and he is also a good person. That's right. In the past few days, it's not all about her supporting the family. "

Mrs. Ma, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, said, "Yes, she is going to support the Guo family soon." The shopkeeper Mao and Mrs. Mao Lin were surprised at the same time: "What do you mean?"

"Shopkeeper Mao, I came here to inform you. You, the former daughter-in-law, are going to marry my eldest nephew, Guo Pu, the only fifth-rank official in our city." Mrs. Ma deliberately said each word slowly. And clear.

There was a "boom" from the next door, and it was Mao Yuan who hit his head.Shopkeeper Mao and Mao Lin in the room here opened their mouths in shock, Ma just watched with a smile.

"Is this true?" It took a long time for shopkeeper Mao to say a word.Mrs. Ma sneered again: "The girl of the Zhou family must hate you so much, she would rather marry someone who can't sit up!"

Shopkeeper Mao was cunning, and he replied vigilantly: "It's good to be rich if you can't sit up." The corner of Ma's mouth curled to remind him: "The Guo family accounts for half of the business in this city and a quarter of the province. If a girl from the Zhou family marries in, she will appreciate you as the person who facilitated it!"

The thorny words finally made the shopkeeper Mao unable to open his mouth.He was a little frowning, and Mao Lin came out resentfully. When he met his son Mao Yuan's blank eyes outside the room, Mao Lin was a little bit reluctant: "You go and sit at the counter, and I will talk to your father later in the evening."

A good girl was forced to marry a useless man.Mao Lin felt deep sadness in her heart, a penny can't beat a hero, let alone Feng Luan is just a girl.

After a while, I saw the shopkeeper Mao and sent Ma Shi out.Mao Lin, who was cleaning the wine jars at the entrance of the store with his assistant, had to deal with it: "The third grandma can leave."
