Chapter 170: Sure

How can the young Cui Shisan be as good as Chen Qushui, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and understands people's hearts?

Besides, there are some things she can say to Chen Qushui, but she may not be able to say to Cui Shisan.

Cui Shisan knows, which means that his grandmother knows.

Her previous marriage with the Wu family failed, and she rejected the He family's proposal, if she withdrew from the Wei family again, and she took the initiative to withdraw from the ......, it would be too shocking! Because in this way, she will have no chance of marriage, even if her grandmother, who has always loved and favored her, knows about it, she will definitely not agree, she doesn't dare to reveal a trace of tone in front of her grandmother!

But she didn't want Chen Qushui to take risks for her own business.

"There's no rush in this matter." Dou Zhao perfunctory him, "I'll talk about it then, it's still early anyway." ”

Chen Qushui naturally knew Dou Zhao's intentions.

He couldn't help but say, "Sister Xiao, are you really ready to divorce from the Wei family?" ”

Dou Zhao had told him before that it was just an expedient measure to be engaged to the Wei family. But after he found out that Dou Zhao had met Wei Tingyu, he had an unusual tolerance for Wei Tingyu, and Dou Zhao was not the kind of person who blindly obeyed...... It can be seen that Dou Zhao has a very good impression of Wei Tingyu.

But in Chen Qushui's opinion, although Wei Tingyu is handsome and heroic, he has no backbone when he encounters trouble. It's good to be friends if you do; If you are a husband, it is a fatal weakness. He will listen to the wind on his pillow and change his mind when his friends are heckling. Swaying from side to side like this is the most unrealistic.

Moreover, Dou Zhao was afraid that he would have to paste the dowry upside down to maintain the daily chewing of the Jining Hou Mansion in the past, and others thought that Dou Zhao had raised the Wei family, and he was not famous.

The fact that the aunt and grandmother of the Wei Mansion want Dou Zhao to marry into the Jining Hou Mansion within 100 days is a proof!

In addition to having the title of Hou Ye, Wei Tingyu is really commonplace.

But in the affairs of this world, as long as one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it is best for outsiders not to interfere.

Since Dou Zhao has taken a fancy to Wei Tingyu, marrying in the past is nothing more than suffering some losses in silver and wealth, which is nothing to Dou Zhao, and this family business is barely right.

Unexpectedly, the old Jining Marquis died of illness suddenly, and Wei Tingyu had to keep filial piety for three years.

Although Dou Zhao asked him to inquire about the Wei family, he did not move, and his attitude was warm, which made him unable to figure out Dou Zhao's true thoughts for a while.

"Of course it's true." Dou Zhao's expression was stern and his gaze was firm, "I won't joke about this kind of thing." ”

Chen Qushui couldn't help but nod.

As long as Dou Zhao has made up his mind, he doesn't have to look ahead.

Even if they can't achieve their goal this time, the two of them will work together, and their profits will be broken, and they will continue to work hard.

What's more, Dou Zhao has half of Xi Dou's property by his side, and he has himself and Duan Gongyi, Chen Xiaofeng and others to help him, relying on the big tree of the Dou family, even if he doesn't marry for the rest of his life, his life may not be worse than marrying into the declining Jining Hou Mansion, why bother to look at the faces of the Wei family?

Even if you want to get married, as long as the fault is in the Wei family, Dou Zhao finds a son of an ordinary scholarly family to marry, but he can make his own decisions in everything, which may not be a good thing.

Moreover, Dou Shiying has no children under his knees, and it is reasonable to leave his eldest daughter at home to recruit him...... No matter which way you go, it's better than marrying into the Marquis of Jining!

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Xiao, you wait for me for a while." With that, he left the hall.

Dou Zhao waited for him curiously in the hall.

After a while, Chen Qushui turned back.

He wore a half-new felt hat, his head drooped and his body bent, wearing a shabby cotton robe, hanging his hands from the corners of his eyes, looking like a down-and-out scribe, where is there still a little bit of elegance just now!

Dou Zhao opened his mouth and stammered with "Baidu Tieba β˜… Xiangxiang β˜… Text".

Chen Qushui stood up straight, and the person became energetic and energetic again.

"How?" He smiled, "I'm not bad at this hand, I learned it from a street performer back then." The keepers of the British Mansion did not recognize me. Even if I recognized it, I would only think that I had no food and clothing and was on the streets after I left the British government, and I would never think about what happened in the first place. ”

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing.

She asked Chen Qushui, "What are your good ideas?" ”

Chen Qushui knew that Dou Zhao had compromised, and said with a smile: "What did Sister Xiao Jian have planned?" ”

Since this matter was entrusted to Chen Qushui, it is natural that he should be honest with each other!

Dou Zhao pondered and said: "Wei Tingzhen is greedy, Mama Jin and Mama Lu around her are people who can speak, and the two have always been at odds, if you can make good use of the contradictions between the two, and then spread rumors such as me and Wei Tingyu, this matter will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"That's a good idea." Chen Qushui looked at Dou Zhao with a smile and kept nodding.

The two of them are in harmony in this matter!

"I'm going to leave for Kyoto as soon as I can." Chen Qushui said with a smile, "In a few months, Jining Hou will be removed, and there are some things that you have to plan for in advance." "With him in Kyoto, he will definitely not let this matter get out of control. He paused and said, "It's just that this matter involves the woman in the inner house, and I want to borrow someone from Sister Xiaoyi." ”

Dou Zhao smiled: "You mean Su Xin? ”

Chen Qushui shook his head and said, "I want to borrow Honggu." ”

Dou Zhao was slightly stunned.

Chen Qushui said implicitly: "It's just because Honggu is older, she can talk to those grandmothers better, and her simple appearance makes it easier for people to believe." If the person speaking seems too shrewd and competent, it is easy to make people suspicious. "To put it bluntly, seeing that Honggu is a country woman, those grandmothers think that they are on an errand in the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, and they are superior in knowledge, so they will be less wary of Honggu, and it will be easier to lead those women to be fooled.

"It's just Aunt Cui's ......,"

"Sister Xiao Jian rest assured." Chen Qushui smiled confidently, "I'm just asking Honggu to help deliver a few words at a critical time, and I'm not asking Honggu to withdraw from her family." ”

Even if she missed some clues, Wei Tingzhen knew that she was calculating Wei Tingyu like this, and with her love for her younger brother, she would quit her family if she died, but at that time, she had to bear the fault of withdrawing from her family, and she could achieve her goal anyway.

Dou Zhao no longer hesitated, and nodded: "Then bother Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Qushui said a few polite words, smiled and discussed some details with Dou Zhao, and went to prepare for going to Beijing.

A few days later, my grandmother called Dou Zhao to speak: "Mr. Chen came and said that he was going to Kyoto in a few days to take stock of the accounts in the shop, thinking that the Wei family would be removed in July, he wanted to bring Honggu with him, and after greeting Mrs. Wei, the two families discussed the marriage, and there was also someone who delivered the message." I'm afraid that Honggu will go to stage fright, but Mr. Chen said, the Wei family has lived in Kyoto for a long time, what kind of person has not been seen, the more honest the person, the more honest I am, the better. I thought that Mr. Chen's words also made sense, so I agreed. You see if you have anything to tell Aunt Hong, and I'll tell Aunt Honggu later. ”

Dou Zhao thanked his grandmother guiltily, and only instructed Honggu: "Listen to Mr. Chen if there is anything." ”

Honggu nodded again and again, took out a few pieces of Lu silk and Hangzhou silk clothes at the bottom of the box, took a good look, and went to Kyoto with Chen Qushui.

Fan Wenshu and Cui Shisan got the letter early, and took Tian Fuzhi to greet Chen Qushui outside Chaoyang Gate.

Chen Qushui closed the door and talked to Fan Wenshu.

"So Yan'an Hou will have his birthday next month?" Chen Qushui groaned.

Fan Wenshu nodded: "The people of the Wang family are looking for congratulatory gifts everywhere these days in order to celebrate the birthday of the Marquis of Yan'an. "He used to be an antique worker, and now he still hangs out with the guys in those shops, and he is very well informed about this kind of news.

Chen Qushui asked: "Last time, I asked you to make friends with the women and servants next to Mrs. Shizi of Jingguo Mansion, do you have any eyebrows?" ”

The wife of the prince of Jingguo Mansion is the aunt and grandmother of Jining Houfu, and the four little sisters are about to marry into the Jining Houfu TongguΓ² Jingguo Mansion The people around the prince of the Jingguo Mansion are tied to the aunt and grandmother of Jining Houfu, which is the usual method used by those who are good at business. Fan Wenshu was not suspicious, and said with a smile: "The mother Bao on the stove in our shop was introduced by Mama Jin next to Mrs. Shizi of Jingguo Mansion. ”

Chen Jian Qushui nodded with satisfaction, and said to Fan Wenshu: "It's rare for Honggu to come to Kyoto, so I think it's better to let this Bao's mother take Honggu around Kyoto City." ”

Fan Wenshu understood, called Bao's mother to tell her, rewarded her with ten taels of silver and called a carriage, accompanied by a small servant, and asked Bao's mother to lead Honggu around Kyoto City.

How could Honggu have ever seen such a bustle? The eyes and beads were all spent, not to mention, and bought a bunch of things in large bags: "This is for Aunt Cui's grandmother, this is for the fourth sister, this is for Su Xin, Su Lan, Manna, Su Juan, a few girls, ......" made Bao's mother see that her eyes were red, and she became more and more enthusiastic about Honggu, and when Chen Qushui finished the things and asked Honggu to go to Tian's greetings, Bao's mother took the initiative to ask Ying and accompanied Honggu to Jining Hou's Mansion.

Wei Tingyu, Gu Yu and others had a very smooth business, they only invested a few thousand taels of silver, and they recovered the capital with the first payment. Tian calculated, when the project of the four river sections is completed, he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, and then he will be able to hold a wedding banquet for Wei Tingyu in a beautiful manner.

Hearing that the Dou family sent someone to greet him, Tian was very happy, and hurriedly asked Honggu to come in, and saw that it was a simple woman, she liked it more, and talked to Honggu for a long time, rewarded Honggu with a first-class red envelope, and asked the grandmother next to her to keep Honggu for a meal, and then sent Honggu out.

Wei Tingzhen heard that someone from the Dou family came to see her mother, and thought that the two families were about to get married, so she was afraid that her mother would agree to the Dou family's conditions in a daze, so she rushed over to ask what was going on.

Tian felt that his daughter was a little worried, and said with a smile: "People are just coming to Kyoto to do business, just come to say hello, you are too careful." Then he told the maid to pick up some new fruits and bring them in

The grandmother who was sent by the Tian family to entertain Honggu looked at Wei Tingzhen with a blank eye.

Wei Tingzhen understood and avoided her mother to talk to the grandmother.

"Grandma, the grandmother of the Dou family, was ordered by Aunt Cui of the Dou family to come to Kyoto to discuss the dowry of the fourth child and sister with the seventh wife of the Dou family."

Seeing that he was about to get married, he really sent someone to Kyoto to ask for a dowry, could it be that he had lost his eyes before? Then Dou Zhao is a weed that no one cares about in the Dou family?
