Chapter 147: Going Out
In this way, the people in the east chamber accompanied the whole day of caution, and finally saw the big sun the next day, although the air was cooler than yesterday when it rained, but in the end it was the weather that could go out to your heart's content.
Dou Miaojing happily freshened up and dressed neatly, and her sister personally helped her with some things, and then sent out the second door. Along the way, I wandered to several famous pen and ink shops in the city, but I never found a satisfactory one. The one I bought before has been changed to a snack shop this time, and Dou Miaojing regrets not buying more at the beginning.
After walking a few houses in a row, Shaoyue yelled for her to rest, so Dou Miaojing turned around and went to Jubaozhai to see how those head jewelry were doing.
The big shopkeeper personally greeted him and flattered: "Why did the second lady come at this time?" Eaten? It's cold outside, right? β
After asking several questions diligently, Dou Miaojing couldn't help but smirk and said, "It's not yet the cold winter wax moon, so it's not cold for me." I'm here to see my treasures, and I'll be gone. β
"In such a hurry?" The big shopkeeper sneered, "The second master is here, and I am still thinking about whether you want to dine with the second master." β
"My second uncle?" Dou Miaojing was surprised, it was a coincidence today, and he actually met Dou Pei in Jubaozhai. Thinking about it, she hadn't seen Dou Pei for a while, if she had to follow him to learn general affairs in the future, then now was a good time to explore the wind. She smiled, calculated in her heart, squeezed her eyes at the big shopkeeper, and said, "Second uncle, is he busy now?" β
The big shopkeeper said: "I don't know at the moment, but the second master said that he wants to meet guests here." I just don't know when the guest will come, I was just sending someone to the restaurant to get a table and a table. Second Miss, do you want to go upstairs and take a look? Now the second master is looking through the old account books, idle. β
Dou Miaojing nodded with a smile, and said to Shaoyue Yinping: "You guys stay down and go see what gold and silver earrings you like." I'll send you. β
The two of them were overjoyed, knowing that the second lady was going to find the second master, so they nodded reassuringly.
Dou Miaojing went upstairs with her skirt, and under the guidance of the big shopkeeper, she arrived at the door of the account room. The big shopkeeper said to Dou Pei through the door: "Second master, second miss is here." β
There was a long silence in it, as if she was thinking about which second lady. Dou Pei responded for a long time: "Is it wonderful?" Come on in. β
The big shopkeeper made a gesture. Dou Miaojing pushed the door open. He stepped in with a smile on his face. Calling in his mouth: "Second uncle! β
The three walls inside are bookcases, full of books from all over the country. This is the head office of Jubao Zhai, and Dou Peisan's branches in other parts of the country. Dou Miaojing doesn't know how many there are. But if you look at the dense ledgers, you know that they are indispensable.
I don't know if those account books have too many secrets, or if there is another old tent with a wrinkled face standing in the room at this moment, which makes Dou Miaojing uncomfortable. When she first entered, her fluttering steps immediately sank. He stood by the door and didn't move again.
The old tent had a quiet look in his eyes and wore a pair of Western glasses. The gilded frame shines with the light from outside the door.
But Dou Pei still flipped through the account book in his hand, and didn't speak again after saying "um". I didn't see my niece move for a long time, so I raised my head a little strangely. Smiled: "What are you doing there?" β
Dou Miaojing hurriedly put away some of her little daughter's postures, stepped forward generously, and said, "I didn't disturb you, did I?" She wanted to give Dou Pei a mature impression. Even if you're not mature enough, don't be naΓ―ve. It's about what she's going to do in the future. She didn't want to get into trouble.
Dou Pei's eyes really shone up for a moment, and he had the impression that this little niece was always cringe, which made people unhappy. He remembered that when he first came back from Shandong, he met at Huaenge, and she had already become down-to-earth and generous, and now that she saw each other, she felt a little bit of growth.
With a little relief in his heart, he said, "Don't bother, I have nothing to do now." You're not here to oversee the work, are you? β
This said that Dou Miaojing's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I am very relieved, I just came in to rest, where is the supervisor here." β
"I don't dare." Dou Pei laughed, and his mood didn't look bad.
Dou Miaojing quietly looked at the old tent, but he couldn't see clearly where the eyes behind his glasses were looking, and there was always a feeling of being on his back. pulled Dou Pei's sleeve and asked quietly, "Who is this?" β
"The old man's surname is Liu, and he is called Liu Pan, if the second lady doesn't dislike it, just call the old Liu abacus." Liu Abacus looks old, but his voice is full of energy.
Dou Miaojing was stunned, and hurriedly bowed: "Mr. Liu is dedicated to doing things for my second uncle, how dare I be so rude." Dou Miaojing didn't understand the financial calculations, but when he heard the word "abacus" in the nickname of this old tent, he knew that he was a powerful person. Such a person is by Dou Pei's side, and in terms of the Dou family's business, he can hold up a small half of the sky.
Dou Pei got up from the chair and said with a smile: "My niece and nephew don't come out easily, and when she comes out today, she meets the old gentleman, which can be regarded as fate." Later, when Brother Jieyuan comes over, we will have another drink. Without disturbing Mr. for now, I'll take her out for a walk. β
Liu Abacus smiled and gave up his hand and sent Dou Pei and Dou Miaojing out.
Dou Miaojing looked back at the account door that had been closed again, and smiled secretly, he still guessed correctly, this Liu abacus really has two catties, and even the second uncle respects him so much.
"What are you laughing at?" Dou Pei suddenly turned around, saw her smirk, and couldn't help asking.
"Ah...... It's nothing. Dou Miaojing vaguely planned to fool the past, but her heart was excited, and she looked at Dou Pei in a daze.
Dou Pei stretched out his hand and flicked it on her forehead: "What do you want?" Silly. β
"Second Uncle......" Dou Miaojing's heart was heavy, and her eyes were melancholy, "You...... Are you getting married? β
"Nonsense!" Dou Pei stared at her with a tiger face, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, as if Dou Miaojing said something that made her very annoyed.
Although he was so angry and terrifying, Dou Miaojing put his heart firmly in his stomach. Although she knew that this shouldn't be, the second uncle really should ask for a daughter-in-law to start a family at this age, and Brother Zhi'er also needs a mother. can think that Mrs. Zhou will affect her relationship with her mother because of this incident, Dou Miaojing can't help but secretly hope that she can drag this matter on for a longer time, a little longer. At least...... Let her and her sister get used to it.
Thinking of this, she was a little weak and didn't dare to look at Dou Pei.
Dou Pei said fiercely: "Who told you?" β
"I ...... Listen to what people have to say. Dou Miaojing muttered. (To be continued)
