Chapter 040: I want to learn to do business

When the spring flowers bloomed, Lu Zhi was already eleven, and she had already grown from the original dwarf. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although it is still inevitable that she is still a little immature, at this time, most women are married at 12 and 15 and married, so she is also a girl rather than a child.

Today's Lu Zhi's face and body have grown, perhaps because she has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, her face is more of the delicacy and softness of Jiangnan women, which is amazing.

In the past five years, the Wu family not only took care of her diet and daily life, but also found a lot of teachings to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her ability to remember also came in handy at this time.

The Wu family was excited, especially several aunts and uncles who talked about Lu Zhi everywhere, and they praised people when they met them, for fear that others would not know that they had a cousin in the Wu family, who was talented, intelligent and unparalleled.

Thanks to several aunts, although Lu Zhi stayed at home, she became famous in Jiangnan.

This early morning is breezy and sunny, first come to have nothing to do, a few uncles and Lu Zhi are enjoying tea and flowers in the garden, looking at Lu Zhi's elegant posture, the eldest aunt can't help but sigh: "If it weren't for our Wu family being a merchant and having a lower status, I would definitely let my bastard boys set Zhi'er early, if Zhi'er is my daughter-in-law, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

Hearing this, the third aunt was not happy: "If you want to be determined, it is also my bastard boys, although the sons of the sister-in-law are dignified and have good character, but they are always worse in age, not as good as my youngest son is just the same as Zhi'er." ”

As soon as she said this, the second aunt couldn't help but talk about her son, as if she was slow, and Lu Zhi became her nephew.

They were arguing, and Lu Zhi was quietly drinking tea on the side, but she didn't laugh and didn't say anything.

The fourth aunt looked at Lu Zhi's smiling appearance, and couldn't help but say: "A few sisters-in-law, it's useless for you to fight here for a long time, in the final analysis, we are just merchants, Zhi'er is the daughter of a second-class adult, even if she has a heart, she is powerless, and her identity is over there, and her brother-in-law will not agree." ”

Hearing this, several uncles sighed, Lu Zhi's expression moved slightly, slowly put down the cup and looked at them with a smile and shook his head: "A few uncles are so bad, what about the merchant's house?" Zhi'er thinks that several cousins are very good, whether they are knowledgeable or characterful, they are all the best among men in the world, even if they marry a princess, they can't be considered high. ”

She said a serious matter, and several aunts did laugh loudly when they heard it, and the eldest aunt smiled and said: "That is, Zhi'er, you will say this, your eldest cousin is now twenty, but he is still not high or low, if it were not for the Wu family's rules and regulations to make their own decisions about marriage, I would definitely pick a daughter-in-law and let him get married early." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again, and Lu Zhi also smiled when she heard this, and she was sincerely envious.

Many things in the Wu family are envied by Lu Zhi, although the Wu family does not have a rule that prohibits concubines and divorces wives, but none of the four uncles have taken concubines, not even a room, and several concubines are also like sisters, and the family and He Meimei have never had those bad things in the house.

If she could, she would really like to choose one of her cousins to accompany her for life, because these cousins are not only good-looking and talented, but also influenced by the Wu family's family style, they have a trace of respect for both the woman and the future wife.

It's just a pity that she can't.

"Don't say it, don't say it." The eldest aunt glanced at Lu Zhi, who had lowered her eyes, and said with a smile: "Besides, our Zhi'er will be ashamed to drill into the cracks, or talk about the others, yesterday a gouache shop put a new batch of rouge gouache, I took some trials, it feels good, and I will let my big girl send you some over." ”

The eldest uncle is in charge of rouge gouache and antique shops, the second uncle is in charge of embroidery and clothing and fabric shops, the third uncle is in charge of restaurants, and the fourth uncle is cunning and is responsible for the water transportation and gambling houses of the Jiangnan generation.

Therefore, after the eldest aunt finished talking about gouache, several other aunts began to talk about their own things, several women got together, chatting about these topics was naturally full of interest, and finally the fourth aunt expressed disbelief, and patted the table arrogantly, saying that she wanted to ask a few aunts to go to the gambling house to gamble, and immediately made the house laugh, and even Lu Zhi was amused by her words.

was smiling, but Steward Wu came over and said to Lu Zhi with a smile: "Miss Cousin, the old lady is invited." ”

Mrs. Wu has always been strict with Lu Zhi, and rarely went out of his way to find Lu Zhi, only a few times he still roasted her homework, so Lu Zhi heard that Mrs. Wu was looking for her, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I don't know what happened to my grandfather looking for Zhi'er?" ”

Steward Wu thought for a while: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a letter from the capital." ”

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, sighed in her heart and stood up: "There is a housekeeper of Lao Wu." ”

When I came to the study, Mrs. Wu was painting, and when I saw her enter the room, I didn't lift my head, but said lightly: "The letter is on the table, I took it myself, and after reading it, tell me what you think." ”

Lu Zhi looked at the envelope on the corner of the table but did not step forward, only lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

Mrs. Wu stopped writing, was silent for a moment and raised his head: "What?" Don't want to see it? ”

Lu Zhi shook her head when she heard this: "It's not that I don't want to, but there's no need to watch it." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu's face moved slightly, he put the pen aside, silently looked at Lu Zhi, who lowered his head, and said for a moment: "What are your plans?" ”

Lu Zhi bit her lip: "If grandfather allows it, Zhi'er hopes to return to Beijing that year." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that your father, whose heart is higher than the sky, may not allow it." ”
