Lu Wan was also laughed by Zheng Xinghe's words, looking at Gu Sanyuan's sluggish appearance, he was amused and relieved: "Don't think too much, the things in the future are all in charge of the shopkeeper Zheng, you just care about Wu Di and the sea boat." If there is anything you are not sure about, you can discuss it with Shopkeeper Zheng. As for the person sent to you, go back and ask Shopkeeper Zheng to take you to meet, and the three of you just discussed how to hand over the envoy. ”
Hearing this, Gu Sanyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly nodded in response. He doesn't know much about the business at sea, and he doesn't know the situation in Wu Di, so he just goes to be the big shopkeeper, isn't that a joke? With Zheng Xing and Zheng Da shopkeepers behind them, it is naturally much better.
Gu Sanyuan thought about it, and carefully pondered Lu Wan's words with Zheng Xinghe. After pondering this, a bright light suddenly crossed in front of him, and his mind finally turned a corner and woke up a little - according to the girl's meaning, they still have no foundation on the Wu side, but they have to deal with the intricate family officials and businessmen in the Wu land, and they have to make people unable to guess the background. In this way, it is indeed more suitable for him to go to Wu Di than Zheng Da's shopkeeper of Jingfeng Pharmaceutical Store. He Gu Sanyuan has been in the capital for more than 20 years and is also nameless, and now he has been alone with a breeze on his sleeves, and he has gone through the muddy water in Wu Di, who knows who he is? That's enough for those people to guess!
"What does the girl mean...... I understand. Gu Sanyuan took a breath, collected his thoughts, and replied to Lu Wan with a long bow, "Don't worry, girl, although I don't have any skills, I also know that this matter is extremely important, and I can't make a mistake." If there is anything that is not sure, I will discuss it with the shopkeeper Zheng, but it really can't work, I will come to ask the girl again. ”
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Sanyuan carefully, shook his head and smiled: "That's not what I meant-" After a pause, seeing Gu Sanyuan's solemn face, Fang sighed and explained slowly, "Suspects don't need to be suspicious." If you can understand why I let you go to Wu Land, you should know what kind of character I am. I'm too lazy, but I don't have time to worry about so many things! You also heard the complaint just now, you have to get started slowly in Wu Di's affairs. ”
Gu Sanyuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was blocked back by Lu Wan waving his hand, "Let's settle it first, go back and let Shopkeeper Zheng tell you carefully, you think about it again, don't be in a hurry to pick a child." ”
"Yes." Gu Sanyuan's original words of resignation were circled in his mouth, but in the end he swallowed it back and respectfully surrendered his hand.
"Alright, that's all for today." Lu Wan stood up with a smile and spread her hands towards the two, her tone was light and playful, "I'm a girl's family, and it's not good to keep you, so I wronged the two big shopkeepers to go back and eat again." With that, he raised his voice and called Green Branch in, and motioned for Green Branch to send the two out.
The two of them hurriedly bowed and took their leave, led by the green branches, and walked around the winding corridor, and walked out of the second door. Before I got into the carriage, I saw another girl come out of the yard, holding a food drawer in her hand, handing it over with a smile, and saying with crooked eyebrows: "The girl ordered it early in the morning, and the two shopkeepers rushed over, but I am afraid that I will be hungry for a long time, so it is better to take something and pad it on the road first." ”
Gu Sanyuan and Zheng Xinghe glanced at each other, both of them had a little emotional smile in their eyes, and hurriedly took it over and thanked them, said goodbye to the green branch and Yumo, and got into the carriage with the food drawer.
The wheels of the car crushed against the snow and staggered towards the city.
Gu Sanyuan leaned against the wall of the carriage, holding a cup of hot soup in one hand and a steaming dim sum in the other, but he didn't eat for a long time, before he put down the dim sum, took a breath while holding the hot soup, suppressed the heat surging in his heart, and touched Zheng Xinghe, who was drinking the soup with a calm face, with his elbow, "I remember, our girl...... It seems to be surnamed Lu? ”
Zheng Xinghe twisted a red bean cake and nodded indifferently.
Gu Sanyuan looked at Zheng Xinghe a little helplessly, endured it, and felt a little hungry himself, and ate half a plate of dim sum with hot soup while staring at Zheng Xinghe.
It wasn't until the two of them had eaten almost that Gu Sanyuan packed up the cup, pulled Zheng Xinghe and asked thoughtfully: "Since our girl's surname is Lu, then the ...... of the Lu family" Seeing Zheng Xinghe frowning and looking over, Gu Sanyuan choked up, and hurriedly explained, "I know that our girls are different." But the girl is a woman after all, and the etiquette and rules of the world are like this, the girl is in business, and the people of the Lu family-"
"A girl is a girl, and the Lu family is the Lu family!" Zheng Xinghe decisively interrupted Gu Sanyuan's words, with a bit of emotion in his tone, paused, and sighed lightly, "People like our girls, not to mention ordinary women, are men, how many can catch up?" You don't think of a girl as a woman! ”
"This-" Gu Sanyuan was dumbfounded, thinking of the girl master in the courtyard who had a soft voice and a delicate face, but made people unconsciously hold his breath and feel ashamed of himself, he felt that Zheng Xinghe's words were not wrong, so he had to sigh with emotion, "Hey, what you said is not bad...... We girls, we can't be women! I am also content to meet such a master. Hey, listen to the girl's orders. ”
Zheng Xinghe squinted at Gu Sanyuan, who looked pious and respectful, his heart moved slightly, he was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, our girl has never used the surname of the Lu family since she started doing business." However, when Jingfeng Medicine Store first opened, Lord Lu knew about it, otherwise this medicine store would not have been opened at the beginning, but he just knew. As for the rest of the Lu family—"
When Zheng Xinghe said this, some sarcasm appeared on his face, and he snorted with a cold face, with three points of disdain in his tone, "Hmph! But wearing a layer of family skin, it looks good on the outside, and there can be a few good ones inside-have you heard of the joke in the capital before? ”
Gu Sanyuan was stunned for a moment by the obvious disgust and sarcasm on Zheng Xinghe's face, Zheng Da Shopkeeper was always smiling outside, humble and polite, left and right, and he heard such a disgusted tone like today, it was the first time he heard it. After coming back to his senses and thinking about it carefully, Zheng Xinghe's "Lord Lu" in his mouth thought that it should be the girl's father, as for the big joke in the capital......
Gu Sanyuan wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, then his eyes widened as if he suddenly realized, staring at Zheng Xinghe, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Girl, yes, it's the Shen family......"
"Well," Zheng Xinghe simply intercepted Gu Sanyuan's words, and talked about the joke in the capital some time ago, "With your temperament, I guess I've only heard of it, what is going on, I'm afraid you didn't pay attention." I was watching from the outside, and I knew it all clearly. There is an old lady next to the girl, surnamed Wei. Some time ago, Mama Wei got the girl's order and went to Yue Xiuzhuang to pick two brocades. Mama Wei is the old man of the Shen family, and she has been following the girl, and no one in the shop even recognizes the guy and the shopkeeper, just as an ordinary guest. It's not a big deal, it's the things that come back that make people laugh. Mama Wei asked the guy to help hold the brocade, and was about to pay the silver, but who knew that she was blocked by the shopkeeper, saying that someone had already set this brocade first, and asked Mama to pick something else. ”
Zheng Xinghe paused, took a sip of tea, and said with great interest: "When you see our girl today, you should know that our girl doesn't like to be careful, and the people around the girl are also very sensible and polite. Mama Wei thought that there were many people in the capital who couldn't afford to be messed with, and it was not easy for the shopkeepers to do business, so forget it. Guess what's next? When Zheng Xinghe said this, his face became strange, disdainful and funny, and without waiting for Gu Sanyuan to respond, he continued, "Those two brocades were taken away by another grandmother of the Lu family, and I heard that it was still the filial piety of the shopkeeper, not only did he not ask for half a cent of silver, but he also gave that grandmother a lot of materials." ”
"This-" Gu Sanyuan opened his mouth in astonishment, he had heard about this before, and now when he heard Zheng Xinghe say this, he quickly revealed the truth. Yue Xiuzhuang is the property of the Shen family, and it is said that Mrs. Shen's dowry is managed by the Lu family's big house, and the shopkeeper who is filial piety can guess at a glance. If this is the only thing, it is nothing, but the front is a serious owner to pick something, not only have to pay the money, but also have to wait behind others, and this other person is not "someone else"! With such a comparison, even a fool can see that something is wrong.
This is too deceitful! Gu Sanyuan thought about it, and said it out of his mouth, with a little annoyance.
"Not really!" Zheng Xinghe replied with great approval, "Mama Wei was also angry, so she turned back to find the shopkeeper's theory." The shopkeeper saw that Mama Wei was good at talking before, and thought that Mama was a bully, and a few words were wrong, so he asked the guys in the shop to blow Mama Wei out. Yue Xiuzhuang is also well-known in the capital, and there are many people on the street. This kind of coming and going is known all over the city, and everyone listens to it as a joke. ”
"Hey, this is really-" Gu Sanyuan raised his eyebrows, angry and helpless for Lu Wan, "It's also a shame that the girl can bear this breath, if someone else ......"
In the middle of the words, Gu Sanyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, his voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at Zheng Xinghe with a strange face. "That's not right! This is not quite right, the girl is not like such a good bully......" Before he finished speaking, Gu Sanyuan's eyes widened suddenly, he took a breath of disbelief, and only came to his senses after half a sound, "This can't be a girl-"
"What do you think?" Zheng Xinghe took a sip of tea slowly, glanced at Gu Sanyuan with a smile, and his voice was so calm that he didn't seem to see the shock on Gu Sanyuan's face at all.
