Chapter 188: The Zhang Family
"Tell the big boss, Miss Lin has settled down." At the headquarters of Muyue Commercial Bank, in Lu Mingtao's house, the young man who guided Lin Zhu was talking back to Lu Mingtao.
"What does she think of the house?" Although Lu Mingtao believes in Du's ability to do things, he still has to care about it politely.
"Miss Lin is very satisfied with the house, and she also asked the little one to take charge of Xie Lu Xie on her behalf." After speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and then said, "She also rewarded a small five taels of silver, hehe." ”
"This Lin girl is very good at being a person." Lu Mingtao smiled and nodded, "You did a good job." ”
"Xie Lu, Xie Da is in charge." The young man smiled.
"Go down, don't let anyone know about today's events, understand?" There was a slight warning in Lu Mingtao's tone.
"Yes, the little one understands." The young man bowed and bowed, and then went out.
"It's finally here." Lu Mingtao muttered to himself in the room, Lin Zhu's arrival really relieved him, because Lin Zhu was close to him, and it was also convenient for him to grasp Lin Zhu's movements in time, which would be more beneficial to the cooperation between the two.
So not long after the young man left, Lu Mingtao also went out, and he had to report the good news to the actual master of Muyue Commercial Bank.
On the other hand, Dr. Zhang, Zhang Manyun, and Zhang Manqing also returned home.
"Father, I'm tired of walking for so long. You can rest first, and then send someone to invite you to dinner, what do you think? Zhang Yuze smiled and asked Dr. Zhang, they must wash first when they go all the way. Then I can change my clothes before I can come out to eat or something.
"Well, the cloud girl and the green girl are also tired, let's go down." Dr. Zhang looked at his two sons and two daughters-in-law, and knew that they wanted to ask about the situation in Linjia Village, so he pushed the boat down the river.
The two families went back to their respective courtyards.
"Daddy, my daughter will go change her clothes first, and then I'll come to say hello to you." Now that she has returned to her home in the capital, Zhang Manyun has to restore everyone's beautiful appearance, although she has already freshened up when she set off this morning. But still wash. Then change your clothes to say goodbye to your parents.
"Well, go ahead. You see you've been in the countryside for so long, and your little face is almost thin. Later, my mother will tell you to go down. Make you your favorite food. Wang touched his daughter's little face. Said lovingly. After listening to his wife's words, Zhang Yuze, who was next to him, looked at Zhang Manyun, his face was very ruddy. It looks like a hungry person, especially after Wang's little face was thin, Zhang Manyun's embarrassed ears were red.
"Mother, my daughter is not thin." Zhang Manyun not only did not lose weight, but also gained weight, she ate well in Lin Zhu, slept soundly, relaxed, and gained a few pounds of weight than before at home, fortunately, she grew in this fat place, otherwise she would not have to cry to death. After speaking, he took Xiangqiao to his yard.
"What's going on? I feel sorry for my mother, and she doesn't want to be willing to do it at all? "Wang is a little baffled.
"How can you be so distressed, she is obviously healthier than when she was at home." Zhang Yuze was also embarrassed to say that his daughter was fat.
"Yes, the concubine thought that she went to the countryside, I am afraid that if she has nothing to eat or drink, she will definitely be hungry and thin, but she didn't pay attention to anything else." Wang rubbed it, and felt that the feel was a little different, so slippery.
"Okay, don't think about it, wait for her to come and ask, everything will be clear."
"That's just as well." Wang nodded, sat in the flower hall with Zhang Yuze to drink tea and chat, and waited for Zhang Manyun to come out by the way.
In the courtyard of the second room, Zhang Manqing is also cared for by his parents.
"Qing'er, I really wronged you, it's all your father's fault, my mother doesn't want you to go to the countryside to suffer, but Manyun went with me, so I have to let you go too, let my mother see if you have lost weight?" Zhang Manqing's mother, Fang Shi, took her hand and sat on the chair and looked at her carefully.
"Mother, I'm fine, it's very good." Zhang Manqing said coquettishly, leaning her head on Fang's shoulder again, "Look, if you don't go, you won't be able to get such a good thing." Zhang Manqing raised her wrist, revealing the pair of jade bracelets that Lin Zhu gave her.
"Your grandfather bought it for you?" Fang Shi took her hand and looked at the pair of jade bracelets carefully, "The condition is really good, but it's not cheap, I didn't expect the old man to be so generous this time." Fang grinned happily, but there was more snobbery in that smile.
"I didn't buy it from my grandfather, I gave it to my sister Zhu." Zhang Manqing sat up straight.
"Sister Bamboo? That country girl? Zhang Weize on the side asked in disbelief, "How can she have so much money?" It can't be given to her by her father, right? Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Weize's face became a little unhappy.
"No, Grandpa didn't spend a penny there." Zhang Manqing retorted. Although she didn't understand why Lin Zhu was so rich, she knew very well that Dr. Zhang didn't spend money, and she heard it with her own ears.
"How do you know the truth?" Zhang Weize still didn't believe it.
"I listened to what my grandfather told Steward Zhang." Zhang Manqing told Zhang Weize and Fang about the conversation she had inadvertently overheard.
"Daddy, I'm going to wash first, I've been walking for a long time, and I'm very uncomfortable." Zhang Manqing was also a little tired, so he said goodbye to them and returned to his yard.
"Well, this girl, I still have a lot of things to ask." Seeing that his daughter was gone, Fang said helplessly.
"Let her go, it's not too late to ask when she comes out." Although Zhang Weize doesn't want to see Lin Zhu, he loves his daughter very much.
"Second master, is that sister Zhu that Qing'er said really so rich? actually gave her such a valuable jade bracelet, since she gave it to Qing'er, then Manyun must also have it there, and these alone have to be a thousand taels of silver? "The Fang clan may be close to everything else, but the problem with the silver money is clear. What jewelry is about how much it is worth, she is very fast.
"I don't know what to say, and my father has never said this," At this time, Zhang Weize was also a little puzzled, could it be that his father recognized a child from a rich family as his godgranddaughter? "I used to know that this country girl gave her father a pot of excellent orchids, but I don't know how much it was worth, but when I transferred it to Lu Mingtao, the white jade Maitreya Buddha asked me for seven or eight thousand taels of silver."
Speaking of this, the eyes of both husband and wife flashed with amazement, and they were generous!
"I'll ask Qing'er." Fang thought of it and immediately asked Zhang Manqing clearly, what is the origin of this Lin Zhu, how can he be so rich?
"Don't go, wait for her to come and ask." Zhang Weize grabbed Fang's family, on the other hand, he didn't think that Zhang Manqing would know how much money Lin Zhu had, if it was Zhang Manyun, he might know more, but he went to the door to ask a little girl in the countryside how much property she had, and she couldn't help but be a little tongue-in-cheek, thinking of this, she could only hold back her curiosity.
Fang's family, who was stopped, had Lin Zhu's idea in her heart at this time, she thought that Lin Zhu was just a country girl, she coaxed her casually, maybe she could get a lot of jewelry or silver from her, seeing that she gave her daughter a pair of jade bracelets so generously, when she came to the door, how good things she had to give herself?
She didn't expect that when the junior came to the door, she should also give a gift, after all, Lin Zhu gave Zhang Manqing such a good thing, and if she was stingy as Zhang Manqing's mother, it would make people laugh. It's just that according to Fang's stingy temperament, it would be too difficult to get any good objects from her.
In the courtyard of Zhang Yuze and his wife, Zhang Manyun had already cleaned up, and she didn't bother to rest too much before she came to ask her parents for peace.
"Daddy." Authentic ladies and etiquette, Zhang Manyun met the two of them.
"Get up, sit down next to my mother, and let my mother take a good look." Wang beckoned Zhang Manyun to step forward. "Eh, I'm really not thin, why does my mother look like she's gained weight?" What Zhang Yuze said before, the Wang family has always kept in mind, so when Zhang Manyun appeared in front of her again, she carefully and carefully looked at her daughter.
"Mother, I ate very well at Sister Zhu's place, not to mention that I didn't lose my mouth, I really got fat." Although he was embarrassed to admit that he was fat, in order not to let his parents misunderstand Lin Zhu, Zhang Manyun still told the truth about his life in Lin Zhu, but hid the fact that Lin Zhu had a lot of wealth.
"And, mother, look, this is given to me by Sister Zhu." Zhang Manyun also showed her pair of jade bracelets to Wang, but she didn't wear them on her hands, but still packed them in a box. Yu Xiangqiao opened it and put it in front of Wang.
"Oh, this is what the godsister gave you?" After Zhang Yuze picked up a bracelet and looked at it, he also picked up another one and looked at it.
"Well, I gave it during the New Year, but my daughter didn't have a particularly suitable gift with her, so she hasn't returned the gift yet." Zhang Manyun was a little embarrassed at this time, in their circle of contacts in the capital, people gave good things, and they should return the gift.
"Yun'er will wait a while, go to my mother's place and choose a suitable one, and wait for you to return it to her when you have a chance." Wang put down the jade bracelet and turned to Zhang Manyun and said.
"Mother, don't need it, I also have some jewelry there, and the return gift is enough." Zhang Manyun knew that her mother had some good things in her hands, but this was her own business and she didn't want to trouble the Wang family.
"Those of you are all given by the elders, it is not suitable to be used as a return gift, my mother has a good pearl chain there, it is very suitable to give it to this Lin girl." Wang said softly.
Wang's heart was less disgusted with Lin Zhu, not because the value of the jade bracelet was very high, but because after Zhang Manyun came back, he was not a little dissatisfied with this Lin Zhu in his speech, and Zhang Manyun was also living well there. (To be continued......)
