Chapter 440: Family Loved Ones
Zhu Wangye blushed, and in order to divert the attention of the big guy, he called a woman sitting in the back.
"Mrs. Li, I heard that you have recently learned a good female worker, and you will teach my daughter-in-law another day. Zhu Wangye stretched out his finger and pointed to the back row.
The eyes of Gu Zizhong and Zhu Changxi also followed the direction of their father's fingers.
Zhu Changxi knew that this was Mrs. Li of Kaifeng Mansion, and her husband was a wealthy man in the north, and the treasury was short of silver taels that year, so he was forced to borrow money from his family.
But that was decades ago.
At that time, the Li family was famous in the entire Ming Dynasty, and its fame was no less than that of Shen Wansan.
However, it has only been a few decades of change, and merchants everywhere have begun to solicit business on a large scale, and the number of wealthy families in the south has gradually increased.
The Li family began to decline.
But today, even if it is declining, the Li family is still the best among the wealthy businessmen.
Back then, Zhu Guangxing and Zhu Wangye were cheeky to go to the Li family to borrow money.
So the two families naturally made friends.
Zhu Shizi also understood a little bit that the Li family was too rich back then, and they were afraid that they would be suppressed by the imperial court, so after lending 500,000 taels of silver to the imperial court, they kept a much lower profile and took less business.
This is tantamount to giving up the title of the richest businessman in the world to others.
As a result, the Li family was also at peace.
But even so, after decades of development, other people's families cannot surpass the Li family.
So when Gu Zizhong was serving tea just now, he just heard that Prince Zhu passed by one generation and did not go into detail.
She also has no impression of this person.
In her previous life, this woman seemed to have been mentioned by the emperor, but she was only mentioned as a small person.
Gu Zizhong had an impression of this person, so he naturally had a little bottom.
She took the initiative to go over and saluted to the Li family: "Aunt Li, Zi was born in a greenhouse, and she doesn't know much about the outside world, and this female worker is not very familiar with it. I hope for my aunt's grace and a lot of advice. ”
Li Shi blushed when he heard this, and quickly stretched out his hands to straighten Gu Zizhong's body, and said: "The prince praises, it's not that I am a female worker, my daughter just passed this year, and the master I specially invited from Jiangnan taught her." The master travels all year round, so his whereabouts are uncertain. The last time I met it, I spent a lot of money to invite someone to my home and teach for a few days. ”
Oh!
Zhu Wangye lowered his head and pondered for a moment, the master had already left, and it was not easy to find it again.
But it doesn't matter, Zhu Wangye didn't want his daughter-in-law to really learn female work, just to talk about it.
Zhu Wangye didn't care: "That's okay, we can invite Ling Yan to my house and let the two girls have a good exchange." ”
That's fine.
Li happily agreed.
Zhu Lao Er said: "It's okay, anyway, most of these distant cousins are Zizhong who has never seen them, so it's good to bring them to the house and get to know them." ”
Li's face was full of guilt: "The last time Prince Zhu was still the Gu family, when your two families returned from the capital to Jinling, they passed through Kaifeng, but our Li family did not entertain them, so I was really guilty......"
Zhu Wangye didn't care about this, and waved his hand.
Zhu Changxi smiled and said: "Auntie, don't blame yourself, we were really scared that time, so be careful, if you don't go to the house for a while, you are afraid of causing trouble." ”
Zhu Lao Er was not happy when he heard this: "I have heard that the two princes of your Jinling have made the emperor suspicious?"
How can you bring up such a sharp topic?
Zhu Wangye coughed twice.
Zhu Lao Er began to mumble: "What are you afraid of, it is your own family, and it will not reach the ears of outsiders." ”
Zhu Wangye put his hands behind his back, turned his back to everyone, sighed, turned his head back, and said, "Brother, this kind of thing is just made out of nothing, don't talk about it." ”
Zhu Changxi smiled and said: "Uncle cares about us, we must be grateful, what my father said is also reasonable, we have no different intentions, and we are naturally not afraid of shadows." ”
The scene that was originally quite lively suddenly became much colder.
Zhu Wangye looked at the old woman sitting behind the Li family and said, "Noble Wang, don't be silent, you usually talk more than anyone else." ”
Gu Zizhong's attention turned to Wang's body again.
This Wang Guiren is not the "Wang Guiren" of the Gu family.
The Gu family also has a friend who is "Wang Guiren", but he is in Yangzhou.
This Wang nobleman lives next to the Zhu family.
Usually Gu Zizhong also meets with others, and everyone has contacts.
It's just that Gu Zizhong has an impression of this person in his heart, and he can't say who it is.
I know it today, it's Wang Guiren.
She softly called Wang Guiren "Aunt".
Wang Guiren was so excited that he burst into tears.
Zhu Shizi introduced: "She is my aunt's sister's mother-in-law, and we usually correspond. Purple weight, you should have seen it!"
Of course.
Gu Zi nodded yes.
But the relationship is a bit far away.
Zhu Wangye said: "Wang Guiren, I heard that your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a big fat grandson for you recently, you have to bring it over to us another day to take a good look." ”
Wang Guiren nodded again and again.
Zhu Lao Er said: "The young people in our family should come over to meet the new daughter-in-law." ”
Zhu Xishan said: "Yes, last night, my brother saw my sister-in-law, right? Today we are fortunate to see the true face of our sister-in-law, but their junior is not so lucky. ”
Zhu Lao Er slapped his thigh: "That's it, my daughter didn't come over." Purple weight, she is about the same age as you, so you naturally have words in common. Some other day...... No, tomorrow, I will send someone to the capital to call her back. ”
At that time, the Gu family and the Zhu family were both in the capital, and she had never met Uncle Zhu and their family.
Gu Zizhong felt that this was very important, and it would be beneficial to Wu Yicheng's development in the capital in the future.
As a weak woman, she has fewer natural connections and means.
If she can get to know more people from the two capitals, and she mentions Brother Wu more with these people, the future of Brother Wu will definitely be limitless.
So Gu Zizhong happily agreed, eager to let the family come over today: "Great, what is her name? younger or older than me?"
Gu Zizhong asked very carefully.
Zhu Lao Er frowned: "Zizhong, is it convenient for you to say your birthday?"
Gu Zizhong said: "It's my birthday on the third day of the fifth month. ”
Zhu Lao Er patted his legs, and the corners of his mouth seemed to bloom with happiness: "She is Layue, no matter your age or identity, you are older than her, you should take her more and educate her." ”
Gu Zizhong happily agreed, without saying any kind words.
She just said that she was looking forward to her sister coming over sooner.
