Chapter 52: Accidents
86_86882Mrs. Su admired Dou Miaojing's exquisiteness, she pretended to be regretful, and said regretfully: "Hearing you say this, Grandmother Su feels that she has done something too much. β
Why is it that the more you explain it, the more confusing it becomes?
Dou Miaojing blushed in a hurry, and wanted to explain again, but couldn't think of a better explanation. I regretted in my heart just now, why did I have to be so open-mouthed to Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su couldn't help laughing, caressed her shoulder lovingly, and said with a smile: "I'll tease you!" β
"Grandmother Su!" Dou Miaojing screamed helplessly, and she didn't know what to say.
It turns out that Uncle Zhan's cynical temperament also follows Grandmother Su! It made her worry for a while.
Seeing her anxious and embarrassed for a while, and relieved for a while, Mrs. Su felt more and more that this girl was in love with her. But when I heard her say so lively just now, my heart became more and more desolate.
sighed: "After Sister Zhen got married, the old garden became much deserted. Sister Zhen'er's temperament is noisy, when she was there, I still annoyed her, she got married, my ears were clean, but my heart always seemed to be in decline. β
Only Mrs. Su and Dou Zhan were left in the sixth room.
Dou Miaojing suddenly felt very sorry for this old lady. She thought of her past life, the lonely and frightened years, and felt that she was the only one left in the whole world. She walked from one end of the grange to the other every day, no matter how many times she walked, it was only herself.
This kind of fruitless taste of looking through the bitter autumn water, Dou Miaojing feels the same way.
She smiled faintly, grabbed Mrs. Su's arm and said, "Mrs. Aunt is married, and Uncle Zhan is with you!" If Uncle Zhan is not at home, then Miaojing will come to accompany you, okay? β
Mrs. Su raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Really? β
"I'm not kidding you!" Dou Miaojing pouted.
"Okay...... Mrs. Su stretched out her whole body and laughed.
She had never seen Grandmother Su like this!
Dou Miaojing looked dumbfounded. The cold and arrogant grandmother Su in my original impression has always been my own delusion. She couldn't help but like this old lady who was sometimes open-minded and sometimes narrow-minded.
Once the conversation box is opened, it can't be stopped.
Mrs. Su said again: "The dim sum you asked your Uncle Zhan to bring yesterday is delicious. β
Dou Zhan obviously snatched the dim sum and said that he wanted to give it to Mrs. Su, but later he was in a hurry to let Chengxin go first and send Xue Meiniang to Mrs. Su's Yifengzhu first. It looked like she was going to snatch it back. Thankfully, those dim sum were able to survive yesterday's storm.
Why did Dou Zhan say that it was her mind?
No wonder Grandmother Su smiled at her, it turned out that Uncle Zhan had done a favor for her in front of her old man.
She hurriedly went over and told Mama Jiang not to let the old man eat too much.
Mama Jiang didn't feel that the second lady of the fifth room was too lenient at all, but she always felt that Mrs. Su lacked personal management. It's okay now, Dou Zhan can't control it, and let this second lady take care of it in the future.
Before I knew it, I arrived at Yifengzhu in the old garden, and I was running into Dou Zhan, who was in a hurry when he turned out the door.
Dou Zhan had a little bit of sternness on his face, and suddenly saw Mrs. Su, and saw Dou Miaojing by his mother's side, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Dou Miaojing saw that although his feelings were not high, fortunately, he was not sick, and he knew that yesterday's rain did not treat him well.
Mrs. Su raised her eyebrows unhappily: "Where are you going in such a hurry?" When the maiden came, you also came in and sat with you. β
Dou Zhan's face was embarrassed, he had something to say goodbye to his mother. Unexpectedly, his mother asked him to stay with one mouth, and he didn't know how to open this mouth for a while.
Min in a past life. Feeling that Dou Miaojing knows how to observe words and feelings, she immediately saw Dou Zhan's difficulties. Then he reconciled: "I'll just sit here for a while, see what kind of snacks Grandmother Su still likes, and I'll bring them over another day." If Uncle Zhan is here, won't he rob me of my job? β
The stiff atmosphere suddenly eased, and the expression on Dou Zhan's face couldn't help but relax. He couldn't help but glance at this niece a few more times, and he had always heard that the second girl of Brother Yuan's family was withdrawn and cowardly, and she was not even very close to Yuan's sister-in-law. Now that I look at it, I seem to be more attached to my mother.
That's good, if he is not at home in the future, he can ask the second girl to come over and accompany her mother.
How could Mrs. Su not hear that Dou Miaojing was covering up for her son, and said in her heart that this girl is really a hurtful person, and I don't know who will have this blessing in the future and be able to marry her.
She stared at her son with burning eyes, and said, "You go and do your thing, and our ancestors and grandchildren will talk about themselves." β
He doesn't know how long he will have to go, where does Dou Zhan dare to hide it. Busy said: "Mother, I have to go to Tianjin in the next two days." β
Tianjin! It's so far from Lin'an...... Can it be a two-day affair?!
Dou Miaojing was silent, and her eyes looked at Mrs. Su's face.
Mrs. Su had a familiar expression and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"The Jiqing encountered a storm on the way back from Dongdao, and the ship's little steward in Lin'an came to deliver an urgent letter this morning, and the big boss asked Brother Yantai to return to Tianjin as soon as possible." Dou Zhan said, his tone was as calm as possible, so as not to make his mother anxious.
Tianjin is the chief rudder of the downwind boat line.
The Jiqing is one of the largest ships in the downwind line. In addition, there are more than a dozen ships such as the "Lu" and "Xuehua" that take the domestic voyage, and the "Xingyue" and "Pinglang" of the scattered small countries around the open sea. Most of these dozen or so large ships are engaged in foreign trade, and although they may only come and go a few times a year, they have greatly benefited Dawei's economic impact. A boatload of Dawei Tuyi was loaded, and what came back was the real money or customs of other countries, and the imperial court earned various taxes and silver, not to mention that private commerce and trade also had their own benefits. The inland navigation is along the water trade, dredging the economy, and the ships with a tailwind have long become the economic backbone connecting the east, west, north and south.
Therefore, the people of the Shantai family, even if they do not enter the office, are very respected by the government and the people.
Of course, these are all unknown to Dou Miaojing, who didn't know anything about merchants in his previous life. She can know that the surname of the downwind boat is Shantai, so she can be regarded as a little insightful.
Mrs. Su frowned almost invisibly when she heard this.
She knew that in recent years, Dou Zhan had also made a stake in the downwind boat. It doesn't matter how much, in short, the owner has something, and they have no reason to pick it out.
So he bluntly asked, "How much is the loss?" β
"I don't know yet." Dou Zhan smiled, "I can only figure it out when I go to Tianjin." At present, the ship has not arrived in Tianjin, and Tianjin does not know. β
He blocked both ends of the road so that his mother would not inquire elsewhere. Not only did the Jiqing survive the storm, but after surviving the storm, it was also sacked by a gang of pirates. This boat, tailwind, can be regarded as a big loss.
And he rushed to Tianjin with Taiyu, not to settle the losses, but to find out where the pirates came from. Waiting for the pirates will never touch the ship with the wind.
Mrs. Su is a person who does not drag mud and water. She thought for a moment and asked, "Who did you bring with you?" β
