Chapter 132 Smart People
Cui Qingyi told herself to stay calm, and stay calm again.
But fortunately, many people came to the Qin family, and some of them knew the origin of Cui's pastries. "Could this Cui's pastries refer to the Cui from Cui's Girls' School? I heard that they even have a baking class there."
Hearing that it was Cui from Cui's Girls' School, everyone present hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and finally their curious eyes turned to where Cui Qingyi and Konjac were sitting.
Although Cui Qingyi really wanted to admit it, that it was indeed her Cui, but since the other person just looked at her without asking, she couldn't even bring herself to say anything.
Just then, the newlyweds, who had just finished the wedding ceremony, came out surrounded by their bridesmaids. The couple toasted the guests at the table.
When it was Cui Qingyi's table, Qin Qiao drank a glass of wine and then took Cui Qingyi's hand in a familiar manner, motioning to the crowd, "Just now I heard everyone discussing which shop provided the pastries for my wedding banquet today. You guessed it right, it was Master Cui from Cui's Girls' School.
Our Dongping County is blessed with outstanding people and talents, so we can have a woman as talented as Master Cui. She has been praised by the Empress Dowager, and all the girls in Dongping County are proud of her.
To be honest, when I first approached Master Cui, I was worried that he would not accept our business.
At this point, Qin Qiao raised a glass of wine and gestured to Cui Qingyi, "Master Cui, I'd like to use this glass of wine to thank you for your generosity in not letting my wedding banquet look bad in front of everyone. In the future, if your daughter school needs any help, my Qin family will definitely not stand idly by.
If Mr. Cui doesn't mind, we can visit each other often in the future."
Qin Qiao drank a lot, and the rouge and blush on her face covered her expression. The mist in her eyes also made Cui Qingyi unable to tell how credible her words were.
But she did not hesitate. She picked up the cup in front of her, gestured to Qin Qiao, and drank it all in one gulp.
After Qin Qiao and his wife left for another table, Konjac came over to ask Cui Qingyi if she had drunk too much. Only then did Cui Qingyi say in a very low voice, "You're really smart."
Konjac didn't hear clearly, and when she wanted to ask again, Cui Qingyi gestured for her to go back and talk.
Qin Qiao is the smartest girl Cui Qingyi has met in all these years. It’s not that the girls she met before were stupid, but that everyone’s smartness is different.
For example, for girls from families like the Chen family, everyone focuses on men and the backyard; but Qin Qiao's intelligence lies in the outer courtyard and business.
Before this, Cui Qingyi had always been a little proud. The timing when the Qin family found her seemed like someone handed her a pillow when she was sleepy.
But Qin Qiao's move today made her suddenly realize that the Qin family's mother and daughter had made the best moves. Cui Qingyi had just been awarded the title of Doctor of Needlework, and many people in Dongping County were paying attention to them. However, her family didn't have any special friends except the Qi family and the neighbors in Huaihua Lane.
Now, the Qin family has become the first family to extend an olive branch to the Cui family after they became famous. The mother and daughter of the Qin family are now regarded as very capable people in the eyes of others.
Just now, Qin Qiao seemed to be promoting the fame of Cui's pastries, but without her, everyone would naturally know that Cui's pastries are delicious after eating these pastries.
With the Cui family's reputation as a support, there is no need to worry about Cui's pastries not becoming famous. It is just a matter of time.
But now does she still have to owe the Qin family a favor? From the Qin family finding Huaihua Lane to specially sending an invitation to invite her to the wedding banquet, everything was under the control of these mother and daughter.
Don't underestimate these subtle calculations. Some benefits are often invisible at the moment and extremely long-lasting.
Cui Qingyi doesn't hate smart people at all, but she feels a little uncomfortable when their cleverness is used on her. However, Cui Qingyi is more dissatisfied with herself. She seems to have become a little too proud of herself after living a comfortable life for too long.
Cui Qingyi and Konjac left before the Qin family's wedding banquet was over. Cui Qingyi was too lazy to watch the guests' reactions when they received the souvenirs.
Mrs. Qin was originally entertaining her business partners. When she heard that Cui Qingyi was about to leave at this moment, she immediately came out to greet her.
She had a smile on her face and seemed harmless, but Cui Qingyi only then realized that in this dynasty, it was not simple for a husband to keep the family property with a daughter after the woman died.
"Mr. Cui, how could we possibly be so ungrateful? Why are you leaving now? The hot dishes haven't even been served yet."
Cui Qingyi had a faint and distant smile on her face, which was very different from the friendly person Mrs. Qin had met before. Mrs. Qin, who had been paying attention to Cui Qingyi since Qin Qiao started talking to her, almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.
She just wanted to pull Cui Qingyi to bring face to her daughter. It was not easy for her as a widow to raise a child, so she wanted to make her daughter's future life easier. She just wanted to take advantage of the fame of such a person in Dongping County.
Konjac might not react so quickly, but she was the most sensitive to Cui Qingyi's emotional changes. At this moment, she didn't say anything, but just followed Cui Qingyi quietly, without a smile on her face.
Cui Qingyi curled her lips and said, "Mrs. Qin is a smart person. The Qin family's rice business will definitely prosper in the future."
Mrs. Qin nodded awkwardly, "Thanks for Mr. Cui's good wishes."
This time, Mrs. Qin did not stop Cui Qingyi and Konjac from leaving.
On the way home, Cui Qingyi analyzed the whole thing to Konjac. Konjac's mouth widened as he listened, and finally said angrily: "Since the girl knew it, why did she still drink that glass of wine?"
According to her, it should be kept cold.
Cui Qingyi smiled and said, "Then I will teach you one more thing today. When we live in this world, we need to be ignorant about some things and live with them as they come.
Even if we take a step back, Madam Qin must have endured a lot of hardships along the way. If she is still angry, she can just ignore them from now on."
Konjac pouted, "That girl left early."
Hey, this damn girl, Cui Qingyi raised her hand and gave Konjac a slap on the face. "I'm not a person without temper. If I don't let them know that I've noticed it, are they going to suffer more in the future?"
Konjac......
When I returned to Huaihua Lane, I saw an uninvited guest squatting at the door of Cui's house.
Seeing the host finally come back, Cui Qingyi's eyes lit up. "Why doesn't Captain Zhou go in?"
Zhou Wu complained: "Aunt Qin said the master is not at home and won't let me in."
If he hadn't been afraid that the big bones in the basket would be stolen, he would have put his things down and gone back. Looking at the basket in his hand, Cui Qingyi also understood why this person came.
After many days, Cui Qingyi still couldn't help but ask, "Do you like Wangcai's cub so much?" She likes him so much that she wants to do everything to please Wangcai.
Hearing this, Zhou Wu's eyes lit up, sweeping away his previous dejection. "Of course, Miss Cui, please believe me. I will definitely treat Wangcai's cub well."
He was not greedy, and one of Black Fang and Shufeng was enough for him.
Cui Qingyi....haha.
