All of Liao Wanyu's cognition of Nanyang comes from the descriptions of Abba and Zhen Gu. It's about the people there, but also about the family business.
But they are actually not talkative people, and when they return home, they don't talk too much about business with their female dependents, so Nanyang, which is pieced together with just a few words, is mysterious and yearns for Liao Wanyu.
When comprador Wu mentioned this matter, she was very moved. However, many inconveniences also made her hesitate.
"I think it's not a bad thing to go to Nanyang, but there are a lot of things to consider."
Lin Keji let out a soft "um" and agreed with her statement, "What do you think about it?" β
On the way to Lin's house, Liao Wanyu thought about it, to be precise, since she heard Wu's comprador suggestion, she began to think about it intermittently, "I want to ask Mr. to lend me a few reliable people, so that I can go and see if Nanyang is as Wu comprador said, there is gold everywhere." β
Lin Keji didn't expect her to want to go by herself, and when she heard her open to borrow someone, he also thought about asking Gu Yongchou to run.
"Are you sure you want to go on your own?" Lin Keji felt that the little girl in front of him probably didn't know the danger and loneliness of running by sea, so he could say such innocent words, "This kind of thing is not suitable for you to do." β
"So what kind of thing is suitable? The market in Nanyang is something I want to open up on my own, and there is no reason to sit comfortably at home and wait for others to take risks. I know that it will take two months to go back and forth, and there may be strong winds and waves at sea. Mr. Lin, I hope you don't forget that our Liao family is engaged in the ship business, and I am not afraid of ships or the sea. β
Zhen Gu has traveled to and from Nanyang many times in recent years, and has never encountered any danger. Although there are winds and waves, they are bumpy at most, and there have been no accidents for many years.
"Besides, even if there is a risk, it is only possible. You can't choke on food, right? β
This is the first time Lin Keji has seen her speak with a tough attitude, and he can't help but feel a little funny, but of course he won't really laugh, otherwise he will be too disrespectful to this little girl who is serious about doing things.
"Nowadays, the ship to the South Seas only runs once every half a month, I think you don't have to make a decision in such a hurry, you might as well think about it more, and you can prepare more."
He had promised Liao Wanyu that she would be in charge of the affairs of the soap factory, and he would not stand up to stop any of her decisions at this moment. Moreover, from a businessman's point of view, this was not a wrong decision, and he did not have any position to disagree with.
Regarding Liao Wanyu's changes and growth, Lin Keji sees it in his eyes. But he can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, sometimes he hopes that she can remain naΓ―ve and not have to face the reality in the troubled times, and sometimes he feels that people always have to grow.
"I'll be thinking about it." Liao Wanyu didn't refute, but she also understood what Lin Keji meant.
"What I told you before, there are already eyebrows, the old man was picked up by the youngest daughter after returning to his hometown, and sent someone to find it according to the address, but unfortunately it was not in the place said, it took some twists and turns, and it took two days to find someone, you, do you still want to see?"
As soon as she heard him say this, Liao Wanyu didn't understand what was going on, but when she reacted later, she understood that it was the old family servant who left the Xie family after the fake death of Xie Yuru mentioned earlier.
But this thing was also too coincidental, just when she was thinking about going to Nanyang, someone actually found it. Liao Wanyu faintly felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't have any evidence to prove her suspicions.
"Where is the old man? If it's not convenient to come over, I can go over and see him. Liao Wanyu considered that the other party was old, and it was really hard to travel long distances.
Lin Keji hesitated slightly, "The person has already taken it, if you want to see it, you can do it tomorrow." β
Of course Liao Wanyu wants to see it, she desperately wants to find out whether Grandma's death has anything to do with Jiang Zhihe, if not, she doesn't have to have a heart disease, if it is, what kind of relationship it is, she wants to figure it out.
On the morning of the second day, the Western clock had only struck nine times, and Liao Wanyu went out, she explained to the coachman of Baoyue, and went to the address that Lin Keji gave him yesterday with trepidation.
This is an inn, and the old people can't afford to decorate it, and it is obvious that Lin Keji has settled him here. She got out of the car, glanced at the note in her hand again, silently thought about room 304 in her heart, walked into the hotel lobby, and habitually looked around before walking to the stairwell.
She looked for a while, and finally stood in front of the wooden door with the golden "304" embedded in the door, hesitated twice, raised her hand and knocked lightly three times, "Hello, it was Mr. Lin who arranged for me to visit you." β
Liao Wanyu thought that the person who came to open the door had to be an old man in his sixties and seventies, but it turned out to be much younger than she imagined.
"Hello, my surname is Liao, and Mr. Lin called me here."
The person who opened the door was at most fifty-four or five years old, his eyes were not cloudy, his complexion was very good, and he was full of energy, which was very different from what Liao Wanyu had imagined before.
It stands to reason that this age is a good time to be a servant, and some people with clear minds and outstanding abilities can continue to do it in another family even if they leave their original owners.
He came out of the Xie family, if he was willing to change to a slightly inferior portal, he was afraid that he would be handy as a housekeeper.
"Miss Liao, please come in."
The man leaned sideways and invited her in, waited for her to sit down, and made another cup of tea for her, and then did not sit, but just stood politely, "The little surname is Huang, Huang Fulai, and I don't know if Mr. Lin has mentioned it to Miss Lin, so please allow me to introduce myself." β
Liao Wanyu remembered that Lin Keji had mentioned it once a long time ago, but she couldn't remember what the specific surname was at that time, and now listening to him introduce himself, she also nodded politely, "Mr. Huang, please take a seat." β
Huang Fulai is neither humble nor arrogant, Liao Wanyu invited him to sit on him, and he moved a chair to the distance three steps away from her, "Mr. Lin has explained, if Miss Liao has any questions, just ask, the little one must know everything." β
She secretly looked at Huang Fulai, and felt that this person was a little strange, but she couldn't say how strange it was, so she didn't plan to ask directly, but instead talked about his position in the Xie family.
After asking seven or eight sentences like this, Liao Wanyu listened to him answer fluently, and many small details were revealed between the words, which made Liao Wanyu dispel the only little doubt.
"Mr. Huang, presumably, you know why I'm here to disturb you. I hope that you will tell me what you said to Mr. Lin at that time. β
Huang Fulai didn't pretentiously, just groaned slightly, and said, "You know, a person like me, even if he is a child, can't serve in the inner house. β
Liao Wanyu nodded, the Xie family is a family, the style is very old-fashioned, and there are only women who serve in the inner house, which is not surprising. After all, an adult male domestic servant often goes in and out of the backyard of the inner house, which is really an easy thing to criticize.
"Originally, the reason why our sons were dismissed, according to the master's meaning, was that the second young master died violently, and the lady was afraid that she would be injured for a long time when she saw a familiar face, so she gave us a lot of money and returned the deed to us, and let them all go."
"The matter between Madame and Mrs. Liao was actually bumped into by me by chance earlier. At that time, it was early autumn, and the second young master didn't know where to get a set of Western furniture, saying that it was a novelty for his wife's room. Only the people in our outer courtyard have the opportunity to go into the inner courtyard to move things. β
"The foreign cabinets arrived in batches, I remember, it took about three or four days to move before and after, Mrs. Liao, it should have come the next day." Huang Fu said this, his face was a little embarrassed, "I admit that I was eavesdropping for a while, but I definitely didn't expect to hear that kind of conversation." Miss Liao, I know that I am not worthy of being a man, but as a servant of the Xie family, it is what I should do to go to the soup for the sake of my master. β
Liao Wanyu calculated the time in her heart, the day Huang Fulai said was about 20 days to a month for the birthday banquet, thinking that he had known Bai Xiuzhen's evil intentions early on, but he chose not to speak, and his heart suddenly swelled with sourness.
"What the hell do you mean?" Liao Wanyu didn't believe that Bai Xiuzhen would be stupid enough to poison Liao Zhanshan, so she faintly felt in her heart that the target should be their second room, and the last possible one might be You Xiaomei, after all, Bai Xiuzhen didn't like her for a day and a half, and it made sense that she couldn't bear it.
Huang Fulai let out a soft "ah" and tried to recall, "I was outside the window, and I heard it intermittently, but to the effect that Mrs. told Mrs. Liao that if it really didn't go well, you could learn from her." At first, Mrs. Liao thought that she was asking her to learn to recite Buddhism, but she complained twice. Later, I heard from my wife that it may not be easy to give birth to a boy, but it is too simple to die a boy. β
Liao Wanyu's head slammed, Huang Fulai's words verified her previous thoughts, so she was complicated and conflicted in her heart at the moment, and she couldn't speak for a while.
That Huang Fulai is a person who can read colors, Liao Wanyu didn't speak, and he didn't make a sound, and when she came back to her senses stiffly, he comforted her and added a little hot water to her teacup.
From Bai Xiuzhen's point of view, poisoning Liao Xi's staggering is indeed more valuable than killing You Xiaomei, if this idea was given to her by Jiang Zhihe, it is not unreasonable.
In addition to the main house, the Xie family's aunts and wives all gave birth to daughters, and this matter seems to have an explanation.
It's not that people can't have sons, it's just that they can't keep them if they give birth.
Liao Wanyu sat on the chair, fortunately there was a backrest, otherwise she felt out of strength at this time, and she was afraid that she would fall to the ground. Trying to stabilize her mind, Liao Wanyu began to recall all the things on Abba's birthday in her mind, and suddenly remembered one thing in her heart before the evening banquet that had been smooth from the morning.
Liao Xi staggered to her, she didn't think about it at the time, after her grandmother's death, due to panic, she actually forgot it all, if it weren't for today, maybe she still couldn't remember.
"I don't want the water she gave me, the old lady is disgusting when she looks at it, how can I drink it."
Yes, that's right, it's Sister Shen who once gave her little brother a cup of tea.
