Chapter 041: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

"Business?" Mrs. Wu whispered these two words, and looked at Lu Zhi's eyes with a hint of essence: "Since ancient times, you have been in charge of business, as the daughter of an official family, why do you want to learn to do business?"

Lu Zhi sighed when she heard this: "What Zhi'er thinks in her heart, grandfather must know it completely, so why bother to deliberately take the test for Zhi'er." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"It's my grandfather. Mrs. Wu corrected: "That's it, since you want to learn, follow a few uncles to learn, but I want to remind you that as the daughter of an official family, if the name of business spreads, it will be harmful to you, and your father will definitely blame you, accusing you of defiling the family, you have to think about it clearly." ”

Lu Zhi smiled when she heard this, and saluted Mrs. Wu: "Zhi'er thanks grandfather, as for father, Zhi'er doesn't plan to let him know." ”

"You just have to look at it. Mrs. Wu waved his hand indifferently, obviously unwilling to talk more about Young Master Lu, he looked at Lu Zhi and muttered: "Antiques require a lot of experience and experience, you can't learn it for a while, as for rouge gouache, it needs more skills, it is too difficult for you to get started, and the same is true for embroidery clothing shops, as for those who can't see the light, they need a lot of contacts and obviously not applicable to you, only your third uncle's business you can follow and learn, and it is easy to return to the capital after a few years of study, and you will follow your third uncle tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi's face was even more happy, and Mrs. Wu glared at her when she saw this: "When I first came, I was calmer, but now I am happy and angry, and you will suffer after returning to Beijing." Businessmen are cunning, and this cunning is not only the way to make money, but also the way to survive and win. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi hurriedly put away the look on her face, and nodded solemnly: "Zhi'er will remember it in her heart." ”

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wu's face softened, and he paused and said slowly: "Because of your uncles, now you have long been famous, and there are countless people who originally intended to come to the door to ask for marriage, but do you know why these people finally stopped?"

Lu Zhi was stunned when she heard this, she really didn't know about it, she thought about it and hesitated and asked, "Is it because of Zhi'er's identity?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu snorted lightly: "In a place like the capital, where powerful people gather, your status is naturally low, but in Jiangnan, you are the daughter of a second-class official, except for the family of the governor and the governor, no one in Jiangnan can look down on you, and although it is said that business is light, but in Jiangnan, a prosperous place where businessmen gather, businessmen are not so cheap, and the prefect of Suzhou originally wanted to marry you for his son-in-law." ”

Since it wasn't an identity issue, Lu Zhi really didn't know, she frowned and said obediently: "Please also ask grandfather to tell me." ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, his expression when he looked at her was a little complicated, he pondered for a moment and snorted softly, and slowly spit out a few words: "The prince of Zhenjiang." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned, what did this have to do with him?

Seeing her dumbfounded, Mrs. Wu frowned and said: "Although the prince of Zhenjiang has hidden his identity and changed his name, this is just covering his ears and stealing the bell. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Zhi to answer, Mrs. Wu waved his hand and said: "Okay, I just told you about this matter, saying that the next son sent you here, whether it is the Wu family or the Lu family, they owe him affection, although he has not been here over the years, but every move of this Wu house is under his gaze, although our Wu family is the first merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the final analysis, it is just a merchant, many troubles are unavoidable, since you came for so many years, it has been smooth sailing, even the government's attitude towards the Wu family has changed a lot, what is the reason you must also understand." ”

Lu Zhi lowered her head slightly when she heard this, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wu sighed again: "You are a smart person, with your mother's example first, you should start thinking about many things." Alright, that's all I say, you go back. ”

Lu Zhi raised her head when she heard this, and bowed to Mrs. Wu: "Thank you grandfather for your teachings, Zhi'er will retire." ”

Mrs. Wu's eyes widened: "It's my grandfather!"

Lu Zhi turned a blind eye to his fierce color, and only raised the corners of her lips slightly and exited the study.

Looking at the closed door, Mrs. Wu rolled his eyes: "It's so strong, I don't know who to follow." ”

Back in the garden, a few aunts had not dispersed, and when they saw Lu Zhi coming, they hurriedly asked Mrs. Wu what was going on with her, Lu Zhi didn't talk much, only smiled and said: "There is a letter from the family in Beijing, just ask about the current situation." ”

In recent years, there have been letters from time to time in Beijing, especially Mrs. Wu, who has letters almost every month, Lu Zhi's brothers and sisters also send letters from time to time, and Mrs. Yan also has many correspondence with Lu Zhi. Therefore, when they heard this, a few aunts said that they knew and didn't care.

The few of them chatted for a while, had lunch together, and then went back to rest.

Green Wind and Green Leaves were originally the son of the Wu family, and because of his age, Lu Zhi was in charge in the first two years, and the two were married to the two capable people around the eldest uncle and the second uncle. After they left, Lu Zhi personally picked two maids of the same age to stay by her side and named them Chun'er and Qiu'er.

In this regard, Dong'er muttered: "Miss, why don't you look for a maid named Xia'er, so that we will have all the spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”

Lu Zhi smiled slightly when she heard this, flipped through the book in her hand and said lightly: "According to the "Materia Medica", Zhi Zhi is a herbaceous plant that blooms in summer. ”

Hearing this, Dong'er suddenly understood: "It turns out that Xia Er is a young lady." After speaking, she smiled and blessed Lu Zhi: "Dong'er, thank you Miss for not giving up." ”

Lu Zhi raised her eyes and glanced at her, and snorted: "These books are really not read in vain, and now they can be regarded as smart." ”

Dong'er got up and smiled playfully: "The slave is not so stupid, Miss boasts of Xia'er, this is treating us as sisters." ”

is such a simple few jokes, but Chun'er and Qiu'er, who have just arrived, quickly became good sisters with Dong'er, and now they have become the right-hand man by Lu Zhi's side.

Back in the house, Lu Zhi cleaned her hands and wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, handed the wet handkerchief back to Qiu'er, walked two steps to the bed, and Dong'er served Dong'er to take off her coat and go to the couch.

Dong'er and the others saw her lying down and closed her eyes, so they were about to retreat, but at this moment, they heard Lu Zhi say lightly: "Count the days, the son is still in Jiangnan, right?"

When Dong'er heard this, she immediately said: "Miss Hui, the prince is indeed still in the south of the Yangtze River, and he lives in Suzhou City, in a Zhuangzi three miles away from us. ”

"Yes. Lu Zhi turned over: "When he sent me to Jiangnan, although my grandfather had thanked me on my behalf, I owe him after all, and I should thank him personally. ”

Dong'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with some hesitation: "Although the river boat type is exquisite, it is not a rare thing, is this a little light for the prince?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the wall, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "It's not light, he uses it, just do what I say." ”
