Chapter 16 Shops

86_86882 In the main room of Huaen Pavilion, Mrs. Yuan Da came out with a curtain, and her face was very bad.

Running into Sister Dou Miaojing, she sighed softly, put on a gentle smile, and walked towards her pair of daughters as usual.

The two knew that there was a difference, it should be Dou Pei who was at Mrs. Zhou's. Otherwise, at this time, Mrs. Yuan will accompany Mrs. Zhou to recite scriptures.

Mrs. Yuan held Dou Miaojing's shoulder halfway and asked her softly, "How do you feel today?" Do you still have a headache? ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Dou Miaojing said and saluted his mother, "Is the second uncle inside?" Fortunately, thanks to Lu Chengyang's medicine, the back of her hand was originally red, but it disappeared after a short time, and Dou Miaoqin and Mrs. Yuan didn't notice that her hands were burned.

Mrs. Yuan smiled absentmindedly: "Your second uncle is talking to the old lady about something important, don't go for the time being." Had breakfast? Why don't you go to Baoxing Pavilion to eat a little. I asked the kitchenette to make the emerald parfait, your two favorite food. ”

Thinking that Mrs. Yuan Da collided with Dou Pei, Mrs. Yuan Da would inevitably suffer from Dou Pei's cold eyes as a woman, and Dou Miaojing's heart was very uncomfortable.

She respects her second uncle, and she respects her mother even more, such a dead knot lies between the two, but she is helpless.

She stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Yuanda, and said coquettishly: "Now that the weather is getting hotter, it's just right to eat jade parfait." Or my mother feels sorry for us! Then we will go to my mother's Baoxing Pavilion for breakfast, and then come to my grandmother to say goodbye after eating. ”

Dou Miaojing has grown so big, and since she became the governor, she has never taken the initiative to be intimate. Not only did Mrs. Yuan Da start, but even Dou Miaoqin couldn't help but be surprised.

After Mrs. Yuan Da was surprised, it was more of a touch in her heart.

She knew that this daughter was born with a heavy heart, and she was not lovable if she was silent. As for her future, motherhood is extremely worried. Now that I suddenly heard her talking to myself like this, I was suddenly refreshed and had mixed feelings. Maybe...... Maybe it's been Miaojing who ripens late.

At the same time, the embarrassment that he had just encountered Dou Pei was gradually replaced by this feeling.

She stroked Dou Miaojing's head with a smile and said, "You are so anxious to eat, it is difficult for you to go to Baoxing Pavilion." Thinking about it this way, I'm worse than eating in one bite. ”

Dou Miaoqin covered her mouth and smiled.

Dou Miaojing's face was hot.

She used to be like this, right?

It's not that she doesn't want to be close to her mother, but every time she sees her sister with her mother, she always has the illusion that they are mothers and daughters, and she is not. The maids were also full of smiles and diligent service when they saw their sisters, but when they saw themselves, they were just deliberately flattering. It seems that she is an ignorant child, coaxing her to whitewash the peace with a few words, and the world will really be peaceful.

So in her previous life, she didn't like to go to Baoxing Pavilion. Even, she didn't like the door of Izumo's open house.

Looking at her ashamed appearance, Mrs. Yuan knew in her heart that this little daughter was indeed different. I couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so I took the hands of the sisters and said, "Not only is there a jade cake, but my brother sent a mixed box of candied fruit yesterday, and I will keep it for you." Why don't you have lunch at Bao Xing Pavilion? I asked Mama Ping to go to Shifangzhai to buy your favorite eight-treasure tofu, wooden pork, and chopped fish balls. Look at our Miaojing, we've all lost weight lately......"

When Mrs. Yuan said, to be honest, Dou Miaojing drooled when she thought about it. She doesn't seem to have eaten Shifangzhai in her life. But the second half of Mrs. Yuan's sentence suddenly dispelled her thoughts.

How fat has she become? Where did you lose weight! Is this going to feed her like a pig?

However, in her previous life, she had grown to the age of twenty and seemed to be much thinner. It seems that he still has a chance to lose weight.

The three of them talked and laughed and walked towards Baoxing Pavilion.

And in the main room of Huaen Pavilion, just as Dou Miaojing thought, Dou Pei was sitting solemnly and respectfully under Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes and pinched the small leaf red sandalwood rosary in her hand, and when she pinched the Buddha's head, she turned it back again. It took a few pinching times before he opened his eyes, and his eyes were heavy: "Have you really checked it out?" I think he has a noble temperament, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Dou Pei smiled: "Mother, don't worry, when I was in Jinan Mansion, I sent someone to Beijing to check." The Gu family does have a son, who was born with a weak foundation, called Gu Jieyuan, and he is good at words. He was afraid of trouble when he went out, so he assumed the name Gu Xing. ”

"Oh?" Old Lady Zhou's face softened slightly, and she pondered for a moment, "Are these things you inquired about, or are they ......?"

She didn't say anything because she knew her son would understand.

Dou Pei naturally understood his mother's concerns: "I am a frank person, and when I talked to him and I talked deeply, we exchanged our respective identities. I thought he would despise me, a merchant's son, but I didn't expect him to hit it off with me at first sight, so we went south together. I was also suspicious of his identity, so I sent someone to visit him by pretending to be a friend. The people of the Gu family said that his grandfather went south to play, and he was afraid that he would not return to Beijing for nearly half a year. I think that's the right number. ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded, the youngest son has been taking care of the housekeeping of the fifth room since he was a teenager, and he spends more time outside than at home. She believes that he has enough confidence and measure in these things.

"This Gu Ye said frankly to you, telling his family that he was traveling, but he actually wanted to find a place with good mountains and rivers to settle down. If the people of the Gu family know about this in the future, what should they do if they don't follow it? Mrs. Zhou was worried.

Dou Pei was worried in his heart, and he understood what the old lady was really worried about.

Master Gu attaches great importance to this little son, and it is because of this that he bothered to make friends, and in the future, it may be beneficial to the career of the eldest brother Dou Yuan. But if Gu Jieyuan settled in Lin'an behind his family's back, and had an unpleasant quarrel with the Gu family, it would be more than worth the loss.

Dou Yuan's career is not easy to come by, even if he is a second-class jinshi, under the influence of businessmen, he will not have too high a promotion in the future. But he has been nesting in the prefect of Qianzhou, and he will not move his nest for the rest of his life, and he will not be willing after all. Money, the Dou family has. What is lacking is the relationship.

Gu Zhuoyan is ranked in Jiuqing, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the place. His son Ken befriended Dou Pei, which was a godsend.

Dou Pei has a white body, and the Dou family has no one to support him in the court, and when he encounters this kind of thing, his eyes are black, so he can only go with the flow. However, he still comforted Mrs. Zhou and relieved her: "Zuo just made friends with him, and it wasn't me who persuaded him to stay in Lin'an, and the Gu family can't blame me." Even if at that time, if I persuade Xingzhi to return to Beijing, the Gu family has nothing to say. ”

Mrs. Zhou pinched the rosary again and nodded: "It's okay, we're not afraid when it comes to the end." If he wants to stay in Lin'an, then stay, let's just take care of it. Have you found a house? I went to that shop twice when your father was alive, and then I didn't go because I couldn't get around. Now I want to go, but my legs and feet are inconvenient. But there are no people living there, and there were only a few handymen living in the backyard before, which was very simple. Also, since he wants to buy our shop, we have the right to do it as a business, and the market value is as much as the silver, not a penny. A son like him is not going to the official career, but wants to go to the sea, and he is most afraid that people will look down on him. He doesn't care if he has more money or less, he only cares if you underestimate him - but you can send him the shopkeeper and those handymen, and you will do your best to help him no matter what business he does, which is a favor. ”

Dou Pei laughed when he heard it.

Mrs. Zhou is worthy of being born in a merchant family, and this calculation is good enough.

Dou Miaojing guessed correctly before, Gu Xing came to visit Mrs. Zhou, indeed to buy a shop under her name. The location of this shop is not very good, and the profit is very meager after a year. It's just Mrs. Zhou's dowry, and Mrs. Zhou has always been reluctant to give it out. Now that Gu Xing wants that shop, Mrs. Zhou is happy to be a favor. The horizontal and vertical Dou family will not lose!

It's just that Mrs. Zhou is very skeptical about Gu Xing's business acumen. If Gu Xing really planned to take root in Lin'an, relying on that shop alone, I am afraid that in a few years, he would have to drink the northwest wind. But that's fine, when Gu Xing knows that it is powerful, he may return to Beijing obediently, and Gu Zhuoyan must be grateful to the Dou family at that time.

"I've found a few houses, and I plan to go with him whenever I have time." Dou Pei said.

Mrs. Zhou became more and more relieved about Dou Pei's actions, and she didn't ask which houses they were, whether they were her own property or not, and directly changed the topic. Asked him: "I see that the son of the Gu family is not young, have you ever heard of him getting married?" ”
