Chapter 058: Going to the Appointment

After Su left, Lu Jinyi sent a maid to inquire, and the maid replied to her: "Except for the people sent by Jinguyuan to give gifts, no one else came to visit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

That is, the Xue family has not invited anyone to come to the door to tell the Su family about this, so where did the Su family hear about it?

Lu Jinyi was a little puzzled, but she made it clear to the Su family what she should say, but if the Su family still loved her daughter a little, she would not let her marry into the Yongning Hou Mansion.

She leaned over in front of the bookcase, copied a few more pages of scriptures, and when she felt a little sore in her neck, she asked Yuming to put things away for her, and when she went to the temple to burn them to the Buddha.

When Yuming saw the handwriting she wrote, she muttered with some confusion: "When did Miss's handwriting become so good?" ”

Lu Jinyi was stacking the two notes sent by the Golden Valley Garden, and when she heard Yu Ming's words, her movements paused slightly, and she asked casually: "My previous handwriting was very bad?" ”

Yu Ming hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The slave maid didn't mean that, the slave maid just felt that the young lady's handwriting was neater than before." ”

For fear that she would blame her, she said with a panicked face.

Lu Jinyi had actually tried very hard to hide her handwriting, but the little girl's handwriting was too young to imitate it...... It seems that if you want to write like this, you will have to work hard again.

She said to Yuming, "I suddenly feel a little hungry, you go to the kitchen and help me get some food." You don't have to clean it up here. ”

She really didn't eat much for dinner, Yuming didn't notice anything unusual, whispered yes, put down what she had at hand, and went out to find food for her.

While she was going out, Lu Jinyi threw the pages of Buddhist scriptures she had just copied into a charcoal basin and burned them clean.

The next day, Lu Jinyi learned from Mrs. Lu that the wedding date of He Jiawan's second sister was scheduled for the first month of the next year, so she told Mrs. Lu that she wanted to go out and buy a few decent pieces of jewelry for her cousin He.

Mrs. Lu and Su were sorting out yesterday's congratulatory gift list, and when they saw that Lu Jinyi couldn't help here, they nodded and told her, "Grandmother patronized her birthday, but she forgot that the New Year was coming." You go out in a moment, and pick out some new clothes and jewelry for yourself, so that you don't have to save money for your grandmother. ”

very generously asked the old lady next to her to wrap a bag of silver for her, and told her to let people come back to pick it up if it was not enough.

Lu Jinyi took it with a smile: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Mrs. Lu nodded her forehead: "Go ahead." Bring a few more clever girls to help you pick well. ”

called the housekeeper again and asked her to arrange more servants and guards to follow Lu Jinyi.

Lu Jinyi went back to the yard to prepare, but when she left, she only took Yuming, a girl, and went to a few ready-to-wear shops, rouge gouache shops, and jewelry shops, bought some things respectively, and asked the servants sent by Mrs. Lu to load them into the carriage, and took Yuming to Zuixiang Tower.

There was no one in the drunken Xiang Building, Lu Jinyi directly reported the room written on the note, and the shopkeeper seemed to know something, so he respectfully led her in.

She arrived a few hours early, and there was no one in the wing, so she was not in a hurry, so she asked the shopkeeper to bring a pot of tea, and sat there quietly drinking tea.

Du Yuan walked up the stairs of Zuixiang Building, and saw a maid standing at the door of Tianzi No. 1 room from a distance, and couldn't help frowning.

Uncle Zhong whispered beside him, "It's Miss Lu." But...... According to the eyeliner in the building, there seems to be a tail behind her. ”

That is, she was followed.

Du Yuan looked at the corridor opposite, and really saw a few people in small clothes, wandering around the corridor with flickering eyes.

"Lu Tang really doesn't worry about his niece." Du Yuan smiled lightly, "Find a way to separate them." ”

Uncle Zhong whispered, Du Yuan walked up the stairs, but it was not the wing where Lu Jinyi was, but the wing room on her right near the end of the corridor.

There were already a few people in the room who were wearing fancy clothes and had a small abdomen waiting for him, and as soon as he entered, several people came up to greet him: "Du Gongzi." ”

It was a few businessmen he had cooperated with in Jiangnan, who had received the favor of Master Du in his early years and specially followed him to the capital to settle down.

Several people are older than Du Yuan, but no one dares to underestimate him and treat him with respect.

Du Yuan waved his hand slightly, and they sat down one after another, Du Yuan sat on the high seat, and Uncle Zhong retreated and closed the door lightly.

"How many people are still used to living in the capital?" Du Yuan took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"It's not business anywhere, and there's nothing you are used to." A middle-aged man with a beard and a fat face stood up and said, his name is Guo Rong, and he started his business in the silk business.

"I don't know what happened to Du Gongzi coming to us in such a hurry?" Guo Rong was a person who couldn't hide his words, so he asked directly after taking a sip of tea.

The fact that a few people were able to gain a foothold in the capital so quickly was thanks to Du Yuan leading the needle for him, and they were naturally grateful to Du Yuan, "If it's a business matter, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." All you have to do is send someone over to let us know, and we'll do it with you without saying a word. ”

Du Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't come to you this time for business. ”

He put down the teacup and looked at the next few people, "I specially brought you here to ask you, is there a reliable person in the family?" I have something I want to leave to him......"

Guo Rong was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Are you dealing with people in the officialdom?" ”

Du Mansion has never been involved in the court, how can it be ...... this time? But when he thought of the rumors recently, he thought about it and said, "I don't have one in my house." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the person on his left, "I remember that you have a nephew who is a deputy envoy in the Jingwei Command Envoy Division?" ”

The man waved his hand and said, "It's just a petty official who doesn't enter the stream, and he usually commands and does chores, I'm afraid it won't be of any use." ”

Most of these people have been in business for generations, and very few of them have become officials.

He knew that Du Yuan's asking these questions must be of great use, and he was afraid that his nephew would ruin Du Yuan's big things if he didn't do it well.

Du Yuan smiled and said: "As long as people can be trusted, it doesn't matter how big or small the official rank is." ”

When the man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Guo Rong said: "Don't say it, I have seen his nephew, who is down-to-earth and capable, and willing to endure hardships." If you really don't think he has a low rank, you can use him with confidence. ”

The man nodded, but he was a little worried: "You can put a hundred hearts at the others, but ...... I'm afraid he's not clever enough to ruin your big deal. ”

Du Yuan didn't want to ask him to do anything terrible, he stood up and said, "You asked him to come to Jingu Garden to see me." ”

The man whispered, there seemed to be a dispute outside the door, Guo Rong was a little unhappy and said, "Didn't the son come today and let people clear the scene?" How dare anyone come into the building? ”
