Chapter 379 Hospitality

Shi Mansion.

After the Shi family manager returned the gift list, he reported to Mr. Shi and Mr. Shi about the gifts that Prince Zhao and Mr. Zhang had given to Mr. Shi in detail.

Hearing that Mr. Shi, Mrs. Shi, was trembling with trepidation, especially Mrs. Shi, I couldn't believe it. "I've broken off the engagement and sent a gift to Ji's house?"

The Shi family manager said, "A lot of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown in front of the Ji family's gate. I smelled it and wanted to turn around. Prince Zhao and Master Zhang entered the Ji family without frowning."

"They had a great time talking to Master Ji and did not mind the matter of resigning from the marriage."

"This is what I and the servant saw with my own eyes. I heard from the manager of the courtyard that Mr. Wen often goes to free meals, and the third prince has also been there..."

Mrs. Shi couldn't sit still when she heard this. Mr. Shi said, "I heard that the eldest prince and the second prince had won over Master Ji, but Master Ji refused..."

The Shi family manager said, "I saw that the Zhao Prince's Mansion and the Zhang family didn't mind that Master Ji had an illegitimate child, so they broke up with each other. They were afraid that the gift list would be lighter, which made Master Ji dissatisfied. They lied that they were anxious and had taken the gift list wrong. The gift list prepared by the master and his wife was 30% heavier than that..."

Master Shi nodded, “It’s done right.”

Mrs. Shi said, "If you want to add 30%, Na Caili will be as heavy as marrying the eldest daughter of the Xu family."

Although the young master of the Xu family hurt her face and the marriage that was negotiated was also ruined, the eldest girl of the Xu family married her son as the legitimate wife. Although the Xu family was only a third-ranked person, his son married a yellow-flowered daughter at that time. The eldest girl of the Ji family married and divorced, and then made a reunion for her son. The betrothal gift said that she could not pass the legitimate wife.

Furthermore, marrying Xuxian is not a glorious thing, especially the one who is not a perfect match. Mrs. Shi is afraid that people will make jokes behind her back, so she wants to keep the wedding banquet simple, but Mr. Shi promised Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ji to have a big deal. She pointed at Dr. Ning to treat her face, so she didn't say anything.

The Shi family manager was trembling when he heard this. If he couldn't persuade the eldest wife, it would be a trivial matter to the Ji family. He was afraid that someone would use this to stir up trouble in front of his wife. The manager hurriedly said, "I think the eldest young master loves Miss Ji, so he will definitely not be wronged. Besides, although he is marrying Xu Xian, it is more difficult than marrying the Xu family girl. He is also a matchmaker for Mrs. Zhang. The master agreed to do a big deal..."

Mrs. Shi just thinks that there is a difference between the legitimate wife and the Xuxian, and the etiquette cannot be abolished.

Mrs. Shi said, "My sister-in-law is too rigid. The betrothal gifts we Shi family don't say are the same as those given to the eldest girl of the Xu family. Even if they are two or three percent more than her, the Xu family dares to say nothing. My sister-in-law's face is scratched, and it would be good if she didn't settle the score with him."

Mr. Shi agreed and said, "I think it's at least 50% of the time. Since my Shi family decided not to care about Miss Ji's past, they would get married with a sedan chair and get in the house, so they would do the job beautifully. Miss Ji is soft-hearted, but Master Ji is not an ordinary person. Prince Dongping's position as the military weapon supervisor was originally from Master Ji."

"If he doesn't give it to the Prince of Dongping, he will be a fourth-rank official without the imperial examination. How old is he? It will be no problem to be a marquis and general in the future."

"I think the Zhao family and the Zhang family are attracted by the potential of Master Ji, so they even endured the anger of resigning from the marriage. Why should my Shi family make him unhappy with a little betrothal gift? I think Miss Ji, the elder sister, is very important in his heart."

Master Shi remembered the attitude of Su Ning Bo and Yunyang Hou towards him, and his back chilled, saying, "Then double it!"

Mrs. Shi was serving tea and preparing to moisten her throat. Hearing this, she looked at Mr. Shi and said, "Master, are you crazy?!"

"The Nacelebrating is doubled, and there is also the Najeebrating ceremony behind it, so we have to add it."

The whole betrothal gift was doubled. When the other young masters and girls in the house got married, they wouldn’t be doubled, but they would have to be twice as much as they wanted. This is not a matter of doubled one by one. How can Gongzhong bear such a heavy burden?

Master Shi didn't care much about the inner courtyard. He thought it was simple, and now he reacted, "Then add 50% more, and I will add an extra farm and a shop, which is almost the same."

Mrs. Shi did not object anymore. The Shi family was in charge and quickly went down to draw a list. He had to deliver it to the Ji family later.

The order was written very quickly, adding a few more items and adding 50% of the other items. After reading it, Mrs. Shi felt that there was no problem, so she asked the manager to send it to Ji's house.

However, less than a quarter of an hour after the in charge of the business left the mansion, everyone in the Shi family was about to part with him. A servant ran in and came to Master Shi's ear and muttered a few words. Master Shi's face changed.

His face changed so much that Mrs. Shi was beaten twice and said, "What happened?"

The servant stammered and saw that Master Shi did not stop him, the servant said, "There are rumors on the street that our eldest son is asking for a divorce from the Ji family. He said that Miss Ji has been divorced and cannot give birth to a child yet. What is the purpose of our Shi family?..."

Mrs. Shi's face changed to look even more ugly than Master Shi, "Isn't that intentional statement from the Zhou family that the Zhou family is afraid of being implicated by the Ji family?"

Mrs. Shi knew the shamelessness of the Zhou family, so she never believed the divorce letter, but now I think it is not groundless. After all, Miss Ji married Master Zhou and did not give birth to her for three years...

Although the deceased young master's grandmother is lucky, she got pregnant in less than three months after marrying her son. How could her son marry a Xuxian who cannot be born?!

"Hurry, call the in charge back!"

Master Shi has a great headache. He may not care about Miss Ji's status as a married woman, but if he can't give birth, it means he has no right grandson. He cannot ignore it. But the person in charge has been away for a long time and can't catch up with him.

Inside the house, Winhyun sat there reading a book.

Ji Qingning came in with a tray and saw Wen Xuan flipping the book. She was so angry that she didn't even make a fuss. She should have gone shopping with An'er at this moment, but the great god said he was hungry and insisted on her cooking for him. Uncle Liu couldn't cook it.

Wen Xuan came to help support the venue today. Although he didn't know if he was here to support the venue and to support the venue, he helped her and it was a blessing to cook a few dishes for him. As a result, this guy was arrogant and took the opportunity to order the dishes.

It takes less effort to cook a few side dishes, but it takes time to cook big dishes. An'er couldn't wait to go shopping, so Ji Qing'er took him to the street with his little maid and Lan'er.

After setting the dishes, Ji Qingning turned around and was about to leave. Wen Xuan stopped her and said, "Don't you eat with me?"

"I've eaten it," said Ji Qingning.

"You let me stay in your house for dinner?" Wenxian frowned.

“Is this a way to entertain guests?”

The way to entertain guests...

He still has the face to mention these words?

Ji Qingning looked at him and said, "Which customer has ever seen him order food when he comes to the door?!"

Winhyun, “….”
