Chapter 214: 2 yuan?
As an old man who had worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, Steward He's heart was in turmoil at this moment: the child he had watched grow up had lived in a muddle-headed state for the first eighteen years, not knowing what was good or bad.
It's been less than a month since the engagement, and she has changed so much that she is unrecognizable. (Thank God for marrying the young lady to the God of War, the Sixth Prince)
However, this change is good. Under her care, the Prime Minister's Mansion will surely prosper.
He Bo no longer shirked his responsibility and put the remaining IOUs back into his sleeves. "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely get back the remaining IOUs in full!"
If the IOU holders don't come to pay back the money within three days, I will go to their houses to collect the debts even if it means sacrificing my reputation! Uncle He was determined and had his own plans.
"Hey, Qingqing, what are you drinking so early in the morning? It smells so good." The two old ladies, grandma and great aunt, were walking in the garden early in the morning. After meeting, they walked to the living room hand in hand.
After Mu Qingqing signaled Butler He to go down, she took the wooden box on the table back into the space before the two old men came in.
I quickly bought some Western breakfast from Ali99 and placed them on the table.
She went out with a smile on her face and held grandma's arm, "Grandma, uncle, you two are in for a treat. This is the breakfast Qingqing prepared for you this morning. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Ali Jiujiu couldn't help but complain: Host, you should have some shame! I prepared it specially!
Isn’t it just a little bit of money spent here to get a delicious breakfast?
Mu Qingqing screamed in her heart: "Xiao Jiujiu, I spent a lot of money! Isn't it that I earned the money through hard work?"
Ali Jiujiu was silent: Host, do you have any misunderstanding about the four words "hard work"? !
Mu Qingqing said this as she handed the cappuccino and tiramisu coffee on the table to her grandma and great aunt one by one.
Old Madam Qin looked at Mu Qingqing with kindness on her face. She felt comfortable no matter how she looked at him, even though Mu Qingqing was dressed like a handsome young man.
Madam Han, who was standing by, relaxed her frown. She looked at Mu Qingqing with loving eyes and praised her, "The breakfast made by Qingqing must be delicious."
After saying that, he took a big sip very politely, his eyes lit up. This drink, which looked similar in color to traditional Chinese medicine, had a strong milky flavor, was smooth in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and delicious!
After sitting down, he stopped talking and just kept putting coffee into his mouth from the coffee cup.
Mu Qingqing put her grandma in a seat and picked up a sandwich from the table and gave it to her aunt, "Grandma, coffee and sandwiches are a perfect match!"
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach early in the morning is bad for the stomach, so Mu Qingqing hurriedly brought a set breakfast.
Grandma drank her cappuccino elegantly and took bites of the sandwich. She looked like a lady from a wealthy family.
This is in stark contrast to Mu Qingqing's wolfing down of the food.
After the meal, Madam Qin took out a silk handkerchief from her lapel, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to Mu Qingqing in a gentle tone: "Qingqing, your grandfather heard that you will contribute 5 million taels of Donglin Kingdom's bonus next year. He was afraid that you would have no pocket money to spend later, so he asked me to bring you 2 million taels."
Mu Qingqing stopped moving her coffee cup halfway up: What! Two million taels! And pocket money? Whose pocket money starts at one million taels? !
These wealthy and inhumane grandparents are exactly what I like!
Old Madam Qin was still afraid that she would not accept it, and tears welled up in her kind eyes, "Qingqing, my poor child. In the past, it was difficult for your grandparents to even see you, and you didn't keep much of the things they handed over to you. Now I finally have the chance to give you some pocket money..."
Now Mu Qingqing couldn't do anything about it. All the bad things that happened in the past were the fault of the original owner, and now she had to bear all the consequences.
She quickly put down the food and drink in her hands, wiped them casually on the hem of her clothes, sat next to Old Madam Qin, hugged her waist directly, and said coquettishly: "Grandma~ Qingqing knows that grandma and grandpa are the best! Qingqing will definitely not be reluctant to spend the pocket money given by grandpa!"
"Good, good, good! This is my good granddaughter!" Old Madam Qin smiled and rubbed Mu Qingqing's flowing long hair.
"Well, Qingqing," the aunt sat opposite, and said in a low voice with a shy look on her face, "your great uncle is the pillar of our family. If you save your great uncle this time, it is equivalent to saving our entire family. The aunt doesn't have much money, but I do have a few shops that are doing a thriving business. I'll give them to you as a wedding gift, okay?"
After saying this, he looked at Mu Qingqing with a nervous and uneasi expression, his face flushed and his eyes flickering.
After all, according to rumors outside, Mu Qingqing charges a starting price of 12,000 taels of gold for each treatment.
I am already quite old, and I have never encountered such an embarrassing situation, worrying about money! (But who can blame me for being an honest official when I was an official?)
"Oh, what are you talking about, great aunt!" Mu Qingqing straightened up and said unhappily, "You don't consider Qingqing as your own family! How can a granddaughter come to see her great aunt for a minor illness and charge her money?"
"That's right!" Madam Qin echoed, covering the back of Madam Han's hand with one hand, "My dear, please stop saying that. We are all family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's back!"
"But..." This time the old man's illness was not the minor one Qingqing mentioned!
If it weren't for Qingqing, I would have been ready to accompany the old man to the west at any time! Old Madam Han muttered silently in her heart.
"No buts!" Mu Qingqing interrupted Madam Han directly, "Grandma, my aunt and I are a family, and of course my aunt's parents are also my family. Don't ever say something that makes Qingqing angry and sad again in the future."
Mu Qingqing's tone was a bit harsh, but when Mrs. Han heard it, she couldn't help but feel moved. She thought her granddaughter was so much better than her two rebellious sons!
Fortunately, the only daughter is filial and has been taking care of the daily life of the old couple after marriage.
Mu Qingqing glanced at the sky outside the hall and stood up to say goodbye to the two elders: "Grandma, Auntie, Qingqing still has things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
The two old men stood up at the same time and watched Mu Qingqing leave.
Mu Qingqing walked to the door, but then she thought of the dentures she had made after working overtime last night, and she stepped back.
He took out a denture box from his arms and said, "Aunt, these are dentures. I have already tailored them for you last night. You just need to take off the temporary teeth and replace them with dentures."
Mrs. Han took the dentures that were finely crafted and realistically looking, and asked Mu Qingqing in detail about the entire subsequent process.
Including how to clean dentures, whether to leave them outside or continue to wear them after cleaning...
Mu Qingqing thought that people in this era have not yet realized the importance of cleaning their mouths, so she rummaged through her sleeves and pulled out a handful of fine-bristled toothbrushes and several tubes of whitening and antiseptic toothpaste.
He took a cup of warm water from the side and demonstrated the steps of brushing teeth to the two elderly people.
I also emphasized to them the importance of brushing teeth: good teeth and a good appetite will lead to a healthy body!
The two old people imitated Mu Qingqing's actions and brushed their teeth carefully back and forth with the help of the maid.
After brushing, your breath will feel fresh and fragrant.
The two smiled at each other. This granddaughter Qingqing is such a lovely baby. She can even brush her teeth in different ways!
In the past, I used to use twigs dipped in salt water to brush my teeth, but the twigs were hard and didn’t work well! The biggest problem was that the taste of the salt water was really hard to describe, astringent and salty, and my mouth was full of salty taste after brushing.
Now it’s good, with the toothpaste and toothbrush provided by Qingqing, I will probably fall in love with brushing my teeth, this after-meal step!
