Chapter 57 057
When it comes to the Nine Springs, it feels like cursing Mrs. Xu to die early. Gu Huaixiu must have no intention of that. He can't resist Mrs. Xu's age and cannot hear such words the most!
Seeing that the old lady Xu was about to get angry, Lu Duo jumped up in time and said carefully: "Don't get angry, my uncle speaks badly, but he is assuring you that as long as you agree to your uncle's marriage with Miss Qingxi, if you have a child in the future, don't say one, all of them are surnamed Xu and my uncle have no objection."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Wanyin and Qingxi looked at Gu Huaixiu at the same time. Old Mrs. Xu's purple face slowly returned to its original color, staring at Gu Huaixiu suspiciously.
"Uncle, say something." Lu Duo urged.
Then Gu Huaixiu turned his gaze away from his watch, looked at the girl diagonally opposite and said, "My child, both men and women, takes his mother's surname."
Others are cold and their voices are cold, as if nothing in this world is worthy of his warmth.
Qingxi wet his eyes, not because he was moved, but because he felt very distressed. Regardless of whether Aunt Lu fell into the thief's nest or not, Gu Huaixiu encountered the most cruel thing for a child when he was a child, so he hated Mr. Gu, and he was also unable to protect their mother and son, so he hated her so much that he didn't want his children to inherit the surname Gu.
"grandmother……"
"Shut up."
Old Mrs. Xu interrupted her granddaughter's possible plea and stared at Gu Huaixiu with sharp eyes: "You are alone, not afraid of rumors. Our Xu family is a well-known wealthy family in Xiucheng. We cannot make a daughter promise to her uncle and nephew. Even if you don't recognize the Gu family, your blood relationship is a foregone conclusion and cannot be denied."
Her face was still very smelly, but to put it this way, it actually gave room for negotiation.
Lu Duo suddenly understood why his uncle was so tough. If he was not welcomed by a powerful character like Mrs. Xu, then he would only be scolded for being polite. It would be better to fight head-on first, and ask Mrs. Xu to know that she is powerful, and then secretly throw out bait to lead Mrs. Xu to give in first, and don’t keep putting on airs.
"In two years, the Gu family will disappear from Hangzhou, and Qingxi's previous engagement will be irrelevant." Gu Huaixiu looked at Old Mrs. Xu and said.
Old Mrs. Xu sneered: "It's easy to say, why should I believe you? Yes, you have money, but you can't do it with money."
Gu Huaixiu could not forcibly convince Mrs. Xu, and also took a step back: "If I do it in two years, will you agree?"
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her eldest granddaughter. If Gu Huaixiu could defeat Gu Shiqin, it would mean that Gu Huaixiu's status in Hangzhou was higher than Gu Shiqin in two years. If this is true, why would she object to a grandson-in-law who is rich and powerful and willing to let all her children have their surname Xu? Gu Huaixiu was cruel and ruthless? Standing opposite, she certainly didn't want to provoke such people, but if she became a family, the more ruthless Gu Huaixiu, the safer their mothers would be. With Gu Huaixiu's support, she wouldn't have to bother to make friends with celebrities in Yuxi and Yunxi's marriage.
However, Gu Huaixiu failed in one day, and these are all fantasies.
"That day, the third master still wants to marry Qingxi. That is Qingxi's blessing. I, an old lady, will never object." Old lady Xu praised Gu Huaixiu once, but his tone suddenly changed, and he said in a stern manner: "But please understand my old lady's love for daughters. The reputation of the girl's family is not to be played by. Before the third master gets his wish, please keep a distance from Qingxi and avenge you. Qingxi honestly learns her kitchen and does not have any contact in private."
Qingxi bit her lip, and her grandmother meant that she would not talk to Gu Huaixiu for two years and meet?
A young girl who just fell in love felt that she could only date for two hours a week, two years...
Qingxi secretly observed Gu Huaixiu.
Gu Huaixiu was not so stupid that he had a sympathy with Qingxi under the nose of Mrs. Xu. Especially the conversation had reached a critical moment. Facing Mrs. Xu's conditions, Gu Huaixiu nodded and accepted it, but he also asked: "I respect the old lady's decision and hope that the old lady would guarantee that she would not match Qingxi within two years."
Two years later, Qingxi was eighteen years old and said it was not too late to marry. Old Mrs. Xu thought about it and agreed. When she turned her head and saw her granddaughter's stupid appearance, she felt stuffy in her chest and added: "From today, I will make someone stare at Qingxi. If the third master goes back on his word and goes to see Qingxi with me, don't blame the old woman for breaking the contract and looking for a husband for Qingxi."
Gu Huaixiu stood up and said, "Don't worry, Huaixiu's words must be done."
After so long negotiations, this is the first time he has shown the way his younger generation should be.
Of course, Old Mrs. Xu would not believe it easily, waved her hand and asked her uncle and nephew to leave, and the gift was also returned, and she refused to accept it.
Gu Huaixiu did not force himself and led Lu Duo to say goodbye.
His back was elegant and Qingxi was so stubborn that she couldn't help but not keep her. She returned to her room angrily.
The granddaughter was stupid and stubborn, so Mrs. Xu had to ask her daughter-in-law to convey her meaning to her granddaughter.
"Qingxi, your grandmother is for your own good. His background is too complicated. It is worth waiting for you for two more years." Lin Wanyin said with her daughter's little hand. This time she really stood on her mother-in-law's side.
Qingxi understands that she is...
"I can't bear to part with him?" Lin Wanyin smiled and exposed her daughter's thoughts.
"Mom..." Qingxi threw herself into her mother's arms in shame.
Lin Wanyin hugged her daughter and patted her gently. After a long time of comforting, "It's only two years. Just think he's going abroad. While he's not here, Qingxi can practice cooking skills with peace of mind. Xu's recipes have so many dishes. You're just starting to practice knife skills now. Even if your grandmother allows you to meet, do you still have to look for him every day? Is Xu Qingtang not revitalized?"
An ordinary lady can just want love and love, but her Qingxi has great ambitions.
Qingxi suddenly felt like a sudden enlightenment.
To be fair, if someone told her that she could only choose one from Gu Huaixiu and Xu Qingtang. Qingxi must have chosen Xu Qingtang now. It was just because she was forced to separate because she was just in love, so Qingxi was just unable to accept it.
"Mom, I understand, I will cook well tomorrow." Qingxi raised her head and said with a firm look.
Next, Qingxi was at ease in running a noodle shop and practicing knife, but Gu Huaixiu did not come to find her.
At the beginning of the month, Qingxi saw news about Gu Huaixiu from the newspaper that his "Dongsheng Textile Factory" had opened a ribbon cut. The newspaper published photos of two new printing and dyeing machines shipped from abroad. Qingxi didn't understand these professional things, but she noticed a few words. Master Qiao, the printing and dyeing foreman of Dongsheng Textile Factory, worked as a foreman in the Gujia Textile Factory ten years ago.
Qingxi called Xiaolan and asked Xiaolan if she knew if Master Qiao.
Xiaolan looked complicated and recalled: "Mr. Gu's nephew, Master Luo, also studied printing and dyeing. After he finished his studies, he went to the Gu family's textile factory to work and became a deputy foreman. Then, one year, Master Qiao's mother died and had to go back to his hometown to give his mother a funeral. Shortly after Master Qiao left, Master Luo made a new color, which sold very well. As a result, when Master Qiao came back, he insisted that the color was made up by him countless attempts, saying that Master Luo stole his secret recipe. Master Luo refused to admit it. The master tried to persuade him to make peace, but Master Qiao stopped doing it in anger."
Qingxi sighed. Master Luo is a relative of the Gu family. If the Gu family helps him, it is no wonder that Master Qiao has to quit his job. However, if the color is really made by Master Qiao, it means that he is a very powerful person. Of course, Gu Huaixiu is quite capable of bringing back the master who has retired for many years.
"Miss misses the Third Master again." Xiaolan said with a smile.
Qingxi's face turned red, she looked at her and went to the kitchen to stay.
The Gu family’s old house, the Gu family’s old lady, Gu Shiqin and others also saw this newspaper.
Gu Shiqin was frowning deeply. Master Qiao's status in his heart was even worse than that of ten cousins. When he asked his cousin to apologize to Master Qiao, his cousin just refused. He wanted to dismiss his cousin, so his mother threatened him for life. Gu Shiqin had no choice but to use money to compensate Master Qiao, but he didn't expect Master Qiao to be too tough and resigned in anger.
Gu Shiqin was very sorry, but this regret gradually subsided after my cousin prepared several hot-selling dye colors.
Now that Master Qiao has returned to the world, Gu Shiqin remembers the regret and feels the crisis.
Mrs. Gu was distracted and left the newspaper and said sarcastically: "Master Qiao has been planting at home for ten years. He has been unfamiliar with the dyeing cloth industry. Perhaps he doesn't even know what color and style are popular in recent years. Only that kind of bastard treats him as a treasure and invites him back from afar. Humph, there is nothing to worry about, I'm waiting to see him embarrassingly."
Gu Shiqin looked at the machine photos in the newspaper and couldn't be as confident as his mother. He turned around and asked people to pay attention to which merchants Gu Huaixiu contacted.
In mid-March, Jiangnan became significantly warmer, with the willow trees green and peaches and apricots and plums blooming.
There are more and more couples appearing next to Nanhu Lake. When the scenery is tired, these tourists come to Yuqiao Street for dinner. They have seen several couples flirting in the noodle restaurant in succession. Qingxi’s spring heart is uncontrollably moved, and their misses for that person are getting deeper and deeper.
On Friday morning, the noodle restaurant business continued to be booming, Meng Jin in and out of the ground, and Xiaolan was responsible for checking out.
"Give it." A teenage boy walked to the counter and handed over a piece of banknotes.
Xiaolan reached out to take it and unexpectedly found something under the banknote. She turned around and saw it was a note.
"Third Master gave it to the lady." The boy grinned and ran away after he said.
Xiaolan was completely shocked. She and Cuicui were both the confidants of the young lady, and Meng Jin was also. However, in the matter of the Third Master, Meng Jin was entrusted by Mrs. Xu and was responsible for guarding against the Third Master Lu Duo and others. A slightly more serious man came to the noodle restaurant. Meng Jin would treat him as the Third Master as the Third Master and beware of him secretly, but the Third Master was indeed smarter and knew that he had a different personality.
After hiding the notes, she closed at 8:30 and returned home, Xiaolan gave the notes to Qingxi.
Qingxi was also surprised, and opened the note with his back to Xiaolan, and saw Gu Huaixiu's sharp handwriting again: "Two o'clock in the afternoon, Liuyuan."
Qingxi's heart jumped faster and faster.
But, what should Meng Jin do?
Qingxi was not sure, but she felt that Gu Huaixiu must have thought of a solution.
In the afternoon, she called Fugui and went to ask her grandmother for instructions.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't know whether it was true that her granddaughter was walking her dog on a fake appointment before, but she was very alert and asked her granddaughter to take Meng Jin with her.
Qingxi looked Meng Jin and Cui Cui's expression was no different.
The three of them and one dog left, and Fugui remembered the road. When he arrived at the intersection, he turned directly to Liuyuan. When he saw the familiar man in white and the black car, Fugui ran over happily.
Meng Jin frowned and whispered to Qingxi: "Miss, as long as you go back now, I will pretend that I didn't see it."
Qingxi is extremely embarrassed.
Cui Cui blocked her and stared at Meng Jin and said, "Miss and the third master are in love. What's wrong with each other when they meet? Why are you so stubborn?"
Meng Jin was about to speak, but Lu Duo ran over and put his arm on Meng Jin's shoulder. He said like a good friend: "Meng Jin is right? My uncle said that as long as you serve as cover for us, I will teach you how to drive and be a freight driver for a textile factory in the future. The monthly salary is several times that of your stay. How about it?"
These days, cars are rare and drivers also have very decent jobs. What's more, few men can resist the temptation of cars.
