Chapter 42: Revisiting (1)

Gu Feng's expression became more and more shaken, and his fingers kept rubbing back and forth, obviously embarrassed, and after hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind and said, "Since you have opened your mouth, I cannot give up my definition." Only, why don't you go and tell the shopkeeper yourself? I'm a subordinate, and it's useless for me to talk......"

"Uncle Gu Feng is too polite. Over the years, we have treated you as your own family, so why should you belittle yourself? You have been in the shop for so many years, Dad trusts you and respects you, as long as you open your mouth, Dad will definitely think about it. And I'm a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, and even if I open my mouth, my father will only regard it as a shallow view of the girl's family. ”

Gu Feng laughed a few times, then sighed and said, "Qing'er, in fact, you have a bit of the demeanor of the old lady back then. Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity you're a girl......"

Speaking of the old lady, Gu Feng's eyes seemed to flicker with a faint light, and even his voice trembled a little, he reached out and wiped his face, calmed down his emotions, and said: "I will try my best to persuade the shopkeeper, but, Qing'er, don't have too much hope for now." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Gu Feng." I understand that this matter requires a large amount of silver taels, a reliable source of goods, and a scruple of the family's side and the third master, my father should be very hesitant. But once this thing is done, we can no longer be held hostage by our own family! Therefore, please also ask Uncle Gu Feng to persuade my father more. ”

"Okay, don't worry!"

After talking to Uncle Gu Feng, Ning Xia Qing walked to his house and couldn't help but be worried.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, she asked her father to compete with the third master of the family, how could her father easily agree to take risks? Even if her father agreed, how could the third master let her family go so easily? At that time, I was afraid that it would be an even more terrible bloody storm, and as long as she thought of this, she couldn't help frowning.

Speaking of which, the reason why she asked Uncle Gu Feng to come forward was really helpless.

As a human woman, even if she told Ning Yongda everything in an authentic way, Ning Yongda would not believe her.

Since ancient times, how many parents have taken their children's words seriously? Even the soft-tempered Cao family, although he can be regarded as obedient to Ningxia Qing in trivial matters at home, but it is not so much because the Cao family completely trusts Ningxia Qing, but it is better to say that this is just a kind of connivance of a loving mother to her beloved daughter.

And Ning Yongda is a man, compared with the Cao family, his calf licking feelings will only be expressed more implicitly, besides, business matters are not trivial matters in the house, Ning Yongda is naturally more reluctant to be pointed at by Ning Ningqing.

In addition, Ningxia Qing, as the daughter of the boudoir, if the news of meddling in the business spreads, it will have a great impact on her reputation. Ning Yongda is afraid of this, so he will be even more reluctant to let Ning Ningqing get involved in the shop.

Because of this, Ningxia Qing had to Uncle Gu Feng come forward to say what she couldn't say for her.

Although Uncle Gu Feng is also her elder, however, Uncle Gu Feng is a subordinate in the end, and she is the master anyway. Ning Yongda may not listen to what she said at all, but Uncle Gu Feng has to listen to it. And she believes that with Uncle Gu Feng's vision, as long as he listens to it, he will inevitably agree with her idea.

From the time when the old lady was in charge of the house, Uncle Gu Feng was already here. After Ning Yongda took over the shop, Gu Feng has been trying his best to support, in Ning Yongda's eyes, Gu Feng is also a teacher and friend, and to this day, Ning Yongda still often asks Gu Feng for advice on things in the shop. Therefore, as long as Gu Feng speaks, Ning Yongda has at least a fifty percent chance of agreeing.

Fortunately, as she wished, under the advice of Uncle Gu Feng, Ning Yongda decided to take a risk, take a risk for the sake of the Ning family's family luck, and began to run in private.

And since she told Uncle Gu Feng that she could solve the problem of supply, she naturally had to prepare for it. She first went to the old lady and coaxed the old lady to send Ah Zheng to Nanmu Temple next to Nanhu Lake on the grounds of praying for the Buddha and praying for the Ning family.

A few days later.

In Mrs. Gu's iron-fisted decision-making, Gu Er's grandmother's dilemma, and Gu Yimeng's helpless crying, Gu Yimeng's body was knocked off.

News came from Nanhu Villa, saying that Gu Yimeng had woken up, although she was still crying, but it was no longer a big problem, and after the doctor saw it, he said that it would not affect the future.

Old Lady Gu propped up her temples and had a headache. Mrs. Gu felt that during this period of time, she was so angry with her ignorant children and grandchildren that she had lost her life for at least ten years, and when she looked in the mirror, she found that her hair was all white, and even her back was a little hunched.

Old Mrs. Gu pondered, right now, Gu Yimeng's body is solved, and the Gu family is at peace for the time being. But the initiator of all this is still procrastinating, and he has not expressed his position so far, let alone come to propose marriage, and he has not even sent someone to Gu Mansion to ask how Gu Yimeng is doing.

Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth with hatred, coughed angrily, was cold and sad and angry, hit the ground with a cane, and angrily called Second Master Gu. So, a letter from Gu Erye was handed to the county government.

The next day, Lord Shen was made an excuse by his boss and scolded him bitterly. Lord Shen naturally knew that this must have been caused by Shen Zhiyuan's marriage, and the Gu Mansion was spreading fire.

I wanted to marry Gu Fu, but before the marriage was formed, I became enemies. wanted to climb the high branches of Gu Mansion, but stealing chickens and rice, which annoyed Gu Mansion, and now Gu Mansion is retaliating, Lord Shen was scolded lightly, and he was originally scheduled to be promoted next year, but he must have been in vain, and even said that it is unknown whether he can go on his career.

That night, Mrs. Shen was worried about the withdrawal of her relatives, and Lord Shen, who had returned from the yamen, walked into the house, and without saying a word, she crackled and dropped everything in the house.

Mrs. Shen was so frightened that she screamed again and again, but Lord Shen was like crazy, and she couldn't listen to Mrs. Shen's shouts at all, so she only cared about spreading fire to herself. The people were all crowded at the door, frightened to death by the movement inside, but no one dared to come in to persuade them, and only Mrs. Shen was alone in the face of Lord Shen's anger.

Mrs. Shen has been suffering from insomnia recently, and she didn't sleep at all that night, and she had a headache all night, but she still had to endure it desperately, and discussed countermeasures with Lord Shen all night.

So the next day, Mrs. Shen began to put on makeup early in the morning, covering her ghost-like face, as well as the heavy black green under her eyes, dressed up very grandly, meticulous from head to toe, with a thick courtesy, endured the headache that almost made her collapse, and went to visit the Gu Mansion in person.

As a result, he didn't even enter the door of the Gu Mansion.

Gifts weren't sent in either.

Mrs. Shen was about to collapse, begging the porter: "What about the second grandmother?" Doesn't the second grandmother see me? ”

The porter said coldly: "The second grandmother is not in the house, and there is nothing else to say." ”

The Shen family's carriage also failed to enter the gate of the Gu Mansion, so it had to stop at the gate of the Gu Mansion all the time. Frustrated, Mrs. Shen returned to the carriage and leaned on the back of the carriage, only to feel that her head was about to explode.

Huang Yuan whispered: "Madam, why don't you try to ask the third or fourth grandmother......

Mrs. Shen was so angry that she kicked Huang Yuan out of the car. What a bad idea Huang Yuan has to come up with! If you go to ask the third or fourth grandmother, once the old lady Gu knows, she will definitely think that the Shen family intends to publicize this matter and want to threaten the Gu Mansion with this, in that case, the angry Gu Mansion will definitely make the Shen family die without a place to be buried.

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more angry she became, the headache hit one after another, and many troubles were mixed together, and Mrs. Shen couldn't help crying silently in the carriage alone.

At this moment, there was a sudden heavy rain, and the sloping rain was extremely strong, and it came in from the unclosed carriage door.

The crying Mrs. Shen naturally had no intention of closing the door. I came out in a hurry today, forgot to bring an umbrella, and Huang Yuan, who was kicked out of the car, stood in the rainstorm, afraid that my wife would make herself angry again, and I didn't dare to close the door. As a result, the torrential rain continued to hit the carriage, wetting the corners of Mrs. Shen's skirt, and gradually spreading, almost wetting the small half of Mrs. Shen's body.

After a long time, Mrs. Shen ordered: "Huang Yuan, come up, go home." ”

Huang Yuan said timidly: "Madam, Huang Yuan's whole body is wet, so he won't get into the carriage, so as not to wet his wife's clothes, Huang Yuan will go back with the carriage." ”

Mrs. Shen didn't speak again.

The carriage slowly drove towards the Shen Mansion, even the horses were dejected, and the yellow duck who followed him lowered his head, looking extremely embarrassed, and the group of people seemed to be seriously ill and lifeless.

Mrs. Shen has wiped away her tears and thought about it, at this point, it is really urgent, even if the Shen family is poked in the backbone and scolded for being ungrateful, she will have to withdraw from the relationship with the Ning family!

A few days later, Mrs. Ning took Ning Xia Qing to visit the Gu Mansion again, and Ning Ning Qing was still carrying a box of natural sandalwood cut into small pieces.

As soon as Old Lady Gu heard that someone from the Ning family was coming, she immediately let them in. Old Mrs. Ning and Ning Xia Qing stepped into the gate of Gu's mansion, and immediately several mothers-in-law with umbrellas greeted them, and several Peugeot maids rushed to guide them.

Mrs. Ning leaned into Ning Ningqing's ear and muttered incomprehensibly: "This is really strange, although I have a relationship with Mrs. Gu, but she will not be so respectful to us, why bother to order people to make such a big show?" ”

Ning Xia Qing probably guessed why Mrs. Gu was so respectful to them, but she didn't explain, she just changed the topic: "Speaking of which, if Ah Zheng hadn't brought this sandalwood back from Nanmu Temple, we wouldn't have come to Gu Mansion today." ”

Old Lady Ning sighed, "Yes." As soon as I saw this sandalwood, I remembered that when I was young, I asked for a piece of good sandalwood from my father, and tried to make incense with the sister of the Zhao family, but it didn't work, and I wasted a good piece of sandalwood in vain! Alas, all these years have passed......"

Ningxia Qingdao: "The sandalwood produced in Nanmu Temple is all good, you specially sent this excellent sandalwood to Grandma Gu today, and you can also take this opportunity to talk about the past with Grandma Gu." ”

"yes." Old Mrs. Ning nodded, then looked at the drizzle that was still dripping, and sighed: "The only regret is this day." It's been raining for so long, I thought it would be sunny today, but the clouds still didn't disperse. ”

Ningxia Qingying said: "Yes, such a heavy rain is enough to become a disaster, I don't know how many people will be harmed." ”

The two walked into the Gu Mansion, carrying a small box containing sandalwood.

Nanmu Temple is backed by a large mountain, and sandalwood is abundant on the mountain. Temples often cut down some sandalwood to make sandalwood, which is used in temples. Accompanied by sandalwood, the Sanskrit sound of Nanmu Temple is more elegant and holy, attracting more pilgrims to Nanmu Temple.

Sandalwood is limited, and the temple never gives it to pilgrims. However, if enough money is given for incense, the temple will often say "the donor is related to the temple" and then give the pilgrim a box of natural sandalwood that has not been made into incense.

This is how the box in Ning Ningqing's hand came from.

Surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law, Mrs. Ning and Ning Xia Qing continued to walk inside. At this moment, Ning Xia Qing suddenly turned around and saw that Ah Zheng was about to drive the car to the carport of the Gu Mansion, not caring about the rain that was still dripping from the sky, and the rain wet his hair, making it look black and shiny. It suddenly seemed to her that it was some kind of black and beautiful animal fur.
