Chapter 103: The Tea House (Three Watches)
Lu Zhaoning is a rare person in the Lu family who is not snobbish and utilitarian, and if he helps her with this, it can be regarded as a good thing.
Lu Shuyi's mind moved slightly, she didn't know much about Du Kuan in her previous life, but if she thought about it carefully, this person still had some ability.
The Du family is originally a poor family, he can make a young lady from a wealthy merchant family die for him, and he can not rely on the power of the Yue family, and open a teahouse from scratch to raise the twenty or thirty people of the Du family without relying on the power of the Yue family.
If you think about it carefully, this person is definitely a person with great achievements and a person with great ambition. If it was such a soft-boned person, he would have rushed to the Lu family to seek wealth. Especially now is such a good opportunity, Mrs. Lu is willing to raise his child, and the identity of the child in the future will definitely be more expensive than in Du Jiajin, if it is too late to rejoice, how can she refuse?
He can refuse Mrs. Lu's "kindness", one is because he still has the dignity of being a human being, and the other is because he can afford the responsibility of his father.
For people with responsibility and dignity, it happens to be the person Lu Shuyi needs so much.
Lu Shuyi immediately had an idea in her heart.
"Aunt, don't worry, the child is yours, as long as you don't give it, who can snatch it?" Lu Shuyi lowered her eyebrows and comforted her softly, looked left and right, and whispered: "Grandmother just dislikes the poverty of my uncle's family, and I am afraid that my cousin and cousin will suffer in the future...... If my uncle did something, how could my grandmother dislike it? ”
Lu Zhaoning frowned, the tip of her right finger slowly passed over the folds of the long skirt, and she said lightly: "What can a teahouse opener do?" Besides, I married your uncle, because I wanted him to be kind and stable, and as for a rich life. I never thought about it. ”
Lu Shuyi smiled peacefully: "It's not about you, I'm saying that for the sake of your cousin and cousin's future, you should also plan to ......"
Lu Zhaoning stared at Lu Shuyi, and looked at it for a while, with a little hesitation in his eyes, obviously shocked by Lu Shuyi's words.
When she got married, Lu Shuyi was still a playful and troublesome little girl. In the blink of an eye. She could say that.
Sure enough, time flies, and everything changes.
“…… Doesn't our Lu family also have a few tea estates? Lu Shuyi's voice was extremely soft and low, and she said slowly: "Uncle only sells tea." If you change the business of selling tea to the business of selling tea, how can you not make money? Uncle has silver in his hand, who in the Lu family dares to look down on him? ”
Lu Zhaoning's eyes were startled, and he frowned and pursed his lips. He muttered in his mouth: "The Lu family's tea house? You mean the Ruyi Tea House and the Nantong Tea House in the north of town? ”
These two tea estates fell into the hands of the An family after the death of the Wu family in their previous lives, and Aunt An didn't know what tricks they had. Got both tea estates in her brother's name. Instead of cheapening the An family for nothing, it is better to let Lu Zhaoning go now.
Lu Shuyi bowed her head slightly: "Anyway, you don't have many dowries to marry, you ask your grandmother for these two tea houses, and your grandmother should give it to you." ”
"Nope."
Lu Zhaoning is a person with backbone in the end. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied, "Even if I agree, your uncle will not agree." If he wants to touch the light of the Lu family. Can you wait until today? ”
Sure enough, she was still so stubborn, Lu Shuyi pouted helplessly.
Lu Zhaoning glanced at her. He also said: "My aunt knows that you have good intentions, but since the day I got married, I have secretly sworn that I will never accept any favors from my mother and father in my lifetime. The path I chose myself, and even if I walked on the road, I would never regret it. ”
The firmness in Lu Zhaoning's eyes shone like a star, and she murmured: "If your grandmother refuses to return my child today, then I will only be an unfilial daughter once......
Lu Zhaoning's attitude is almost very clear, she will never ask for the tea house herself. And she is also ready to break with Mrs. Lu, it seems that the things in her previous life are going to happen again......
Lu Shuyi really didn't want those two tea houses to fall into the hands of the An family again, but she didn't have the slightest way to Lu Zhaoning, so she could only wait helplessly.
After a while, the eldest lady lifted her skirt and came out, and when she saw Lu Shuyi standing beside Lu Zhaoning, she frowned slightly, waved her hand and said, "The third girl will go back first, your grandmother and your aunt have something to say." ”
Lu Shuyi nodded, but her body did not move.
The eldest lady lowered her eyebrows and looked down at Lu Zhaoning, and said in a deep voice: "You follow me to the house, my mother has something to say to you." At the same time, he said to the two maids beside him: "Why don't you go and help my aunt and grandmother up." ”
The two maids answered yes and hurriedly came over to help Lu Zhaoning. Lu Zhaoning waved his arms and sleeves, and slowly stood up: "I am still a person who does not work as a sister-in-law." ”
Xu has been kneeling for a long time, and Lu Zhaoning's legs are still a little unstable and shaken a few times.
The eldest lady glanced at her, raised her jaw almost undetectably, and said to the maid beside her: "Auntie and grandmother can do whatever you want, you all stand down." ”
Obviously, the eldest lady subconsciously also felt that Lu Zhaoning didn't know what to do. Mrs. Lu is willing to raise the child for her, so she Lu Zhaoning should be grateful to Dai De and accept it. She's good and still playing......
Lu Shuyi is also extremely disdainful of the eldest lady's face, if she is not the He family, if the He family does not have the support of the Empress Dowager He, can she still be like this?
Relying on the prestige of her mother's family, how much more noble can she be than Lu Zhaoning, who relies on her own foothold?
Lu Zhaoning was not humble or silent, straightened his back and followed in.
Lu Shuyi pursed her lips, turned to Mo Ju and said, "Go and have a look, where is the fifth uncle?" I have something to say to my fifth uncle. ”
Lu Zhaoning is stubborn, and Du Kuan may not be a person who can't hear what to say.
After Lu Zhaoning entered, he naturally had to argue.
Mrs. Lu insisted on leaving her two children to be raised, she claimed to be Lu Zhaoning's mother, and said to Lu Zhaoning aggressively: "If you have in-laws on these two children, I will say that I will not come to raise them, but at the moment, you have no father-in-law, and no mother-in-law, your uncle can be said to have nothing to rely on, what is wrong with me raising the children for you?" ”
Mrs. Lu's reason seems to be very humane, when her grandmother's pity for her two grandsons is to be taken over and raised, outsiders will only say that she is good.
But for Lu Zhaoning, doing so is tantamount to asking for her life.
“…… My children have been with me since they were young, so why should my mother make it difficult for me to take them away? ”
"Take? Am I taking it? Am I doing this for your own good? What can you do with your children? Can you marry a good family or a good daughter-in-law? ”
“……”
The mother and daughter quarreled like fire and water.
The eldest lady also interjected from time to time to persuade Lu Zhaoning to say a few words, asking her to think about it, and giving the child to Mrs. Lu to raise is the best choice.
Wu was silent, she really couldn't do this kind of thing that was out of her flesh and blood.
There was a stalemate in it for a while, and the two children cried and called their mothers again, and it was a mess.
Outside, Lu Shuyi finally found Du Kuan, the sister-in-law who was walking around the garden to extinguish the fire.
Du Kuan is a man with extremely excellent facial features, and when Lu Shuyi found him, although he looked gloomy, he still maintained his proper demeanor.
Speaking of Mrs. Lu's seizure of the child, he was clearly angry, but he was still calm and generous in his words, and said with a degree of relaxation: "The children are our Du family, unless I agree as a father, who can take them away?" ”
Lu Shuyi was very envious when she heard this, this is the attitude and demeanor that a father should have.
"But my uncle really wants to make my aunt and grandmother fall out because of this?" Lu Shuyi looked at Du Kuan very seriously, and said slowly: "My aunt didn't hesitate to break up with my grandmother in order to be with my uncle. In the past few years, the relationship between mother and daughter has finally improved, does my uncle still want to see their mother and daughter break up? ”
Du Kuan is a person of the most affectionate and sexual, Lu Shuyi asked like this, his face immediately turned a little ashamed, and he looked up at the sky and said: "I really can't live with your aunt......"
"Then my uncle still can't live with my aunt for the second time?" Lu Shuyi shrunk her hand in her sleeve, her eyes were very firm, this time, she must persuade Du Kuan not to let those two tea houses fall into the hands of the An family.
…………
Lu Shuyi took Lu Shujing and Lu Shufang to Wu's room after dinner, Wu left Lu Shuyi to speak, and said happily for a while: "Your little aunt is going to spend the Lantern Festival at home, and this year's Lantern Festival is lively." ”
Lu Shuyi chuckled: "The matter is settled? ”
Wu nodded, sat under the lamp and said slowly: "Your brother-in-law said that he wanted to do a career, didn't our Lu family still have two tea houses, and your grandmother gave the tea house to your brother-in-law......
Those two tea estates can still be operated very well in the hands of the An family, and in the hands of Du Kuan, they should be able to operate very well.
Lu Shuyi hooked the corners of her mouth, feeling a lot more down-to-earth in her heart.
Wu said again: "I didn't expect your brother-in-law to talk about business things one by one, in the past, we only thought of him as an ordinary business, but now it seems that we underestimate him." ”
"Then grandmother is relieved to hand over her aunt to her uncle?" Lu Shuyi chuckled, and mentioned intentionally or unintentionally: "Let's pay attention to the little brother-in-law first, if the little brother-in-law is really capable, don't you still have some savings?" Why don't you leave it to your brother-in-law to take care of? ”
Lu Shuyi is preparing for the future, if she can't save the Lu family, she has to leave a way back for their house.
No matter what you do, you can't do it without money.
The current situation in this family is controlled by Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, the silver is in their hands, they want you to live, they want you to die, they want you to die, they let you die.
If the second room has its own small treasury, it will be easier to do things in the future, so as not to get stuck in the silver.
Wu Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then exclaimed: "Why are you talking nonsense like this kid?" There is good food and drink at home, why should I take the silver and quietly do a profitable business? (To be continued)
