Rushing is undoubtedly boring, especially in this era of no wifi and no mp3, the journey is even more boring. Every time he says, except for Wanniang, Ruohua**, and Li Xuanqing, there is really no entertainment for recreation. Fortunately, this kind of day did not last long, and after half a month, the carriage finally drove into the capital. As soon as I entered the capital, it suddenly became clear that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even the countryside seemed to be more atmospheric than other places.

The branch of Hongyuan Commercial Bank is located in the southwest corner of the capital, in an important commercial area, with an excellent geographical location. Although the scale is not as atmospheric as the Hangzhou headquarters, it is also a rare big deal in the capital. During the period when Li Xuanqing left Beijing, everything in the firm was handled by the shopkeeper Li Zongren. Li Zongren is a distant cousin of Li Xiehe, who has seven in his forty this year, is conscientious, honest and loyal, and is quite trusted by Li Xuanqing.

Today, Li Zongren was counting the accounts in the business house as usual, and as he was calculating, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. first picked up his fingers, and then said to himself: "Forget it, the eldest lady should almost come back today, or ...... Send two guys to pick them up? ”

Thinking of it, Li Zongren summoned two young men who were excited and told them to go to the city gate to pick up the eldest lady's return. As a result, the young man came back after a short time out, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted excitedly: "Shopkeeper, the carriage of the eldest lady has already entered the street, and it will be there while talking." ”

"What!" Li Zongren hurriedly put down the account book in his hand, pulled the hem of his clothes with one hand, walked out of the counter quickly, stood at the door, and stopped to watch from afar. Sure enough, as the little guy said, I saw two magnificent carriages coming from the street from a distance. Seeing the carriage, a red light suddenly appeared on Li Zongren's face, and he said excitedly: "I'm back, I'm finally back." As soon as the eldest lady left, there was no backbone in the firm, and I couldn't eat well and sleep well. Now that the eldest lady is back, I can finally get a good night's sleep. ”

The carriage stopped in front of the commercial house, and first Zhou Dali and Zhao Hu and Zhang Bao jumped out of the carriage and asked Fang Yi to get out of the carriage. Then he walked quickly to the carriage behind, lifted the curtain, and helped Wei Hong down.

Leaving the carriage, the first thing Wei Hong did was to take a deep breath of the air in the capital. There is no pollution in these years, even in a national central city like Beijing, the air is very refreshing. While Wei Hong was savoring the air of the capital, Li Xuanqing's three daughters also got out of the car one after another.

As soon as Li Zongren, who was guarding the door, saw Li Xuanqing, he hurriedly greeted him: "Great, eldest lady, you are finally back." While speaking, Li Zongren saw Li Ruohua behind Li Xuanqing, he was stunned at first, and then said in disbelief: "Second Miss, you ...... Why are you here too? ”

Li Zongren had worked as an errand in the Li Mansion before, so Li Ruohua also knew Li Zongren, bowed slightly, and chuckled: "I never thought that I hadn't seen him for many years, but my uncle still knew Ruohua." ”

Li Zongren sighed with emotion: "Yes, so many years have passed. I remember that when I left Hangzhou, the second lady was still a female doll, and now when I look at it, she is slim and slim, and it is really a female college eighteen changes. ”

When Wei Hong got out of the car just now, Li Zongren saw it and wondered very much, why was this man actually in the same car as the eldest lady? Seeing Wei Hong again at this time, Li Zongren humbly asked, "I don't know who this son is?" ”

Li Ruohua gently took Wei Hong's hand, and a happy look flashed across his face: "Uncle, his name is Wei Hong, and his father has already married Ruohua to him." ”

Wei Hong? When he heard this name, Li Zongren was slightly stunned, obviously knowing Wei Hong's name. At this time, seeing Wei Hong and Li Ruohua holding hands, Li Zongren's face was a little uncomfortable. Although Li Zongren is a distant cousin of Li Xiehe, he is far from Li Xiehe's thinking concept. Li Zongren only knew that Wei Hong was originally a poor villager, invented a sewing machine, and got Li Xiehe's attention, so he was a talent. But now that he is engaged to the second lady, this inevitably makes Li Zongren feel that Wei Hong is a little suspicious of climbing high branches. muttered in his heart, but on the surface, Li Zongren was still very polite: "Under Li Zongren, I have seen Wei Gongzi." I have heard the name of the son for a long time, and now I can see it, and it is really worthy of the name! ”

Wei Hong could see the contempt in Li Zongren's eyes, it was exactly the same as Li Xuanqing, and there was really a master and a servant. Not with his general knowledge, Wei Hong nodded in return: "I've seen my uncle." ”

At this time, Li Zongren saw Wan Niang standing next to Wei Hong again, so he asked casually, "Who is this young lady?" ”

Wei Hong said bluntly: "This is Wei's insider. ”

Wife! Li Zongren was stunned again, looked at Wei Hong, then at Wanniang, and then at Li Ruohua. Li Zongren secretly said in his heart: "This woman is Wei Hong's wife, which means that Wei Hong has been married a long time ago. Now that the owner has married the second miss to Wei Hong, isn't it for the second miss to be a concubine? This Wei Hong is too shameless! Li Zongren began to dislike Wei Hong from the bottom of his heart, but because Li Ruohua was by his side, he didn't show it.

"Alright, don't stand outside on a hot day. Uncle, hurry up and beckon everyone in. Li Xuanqing explained, then ignored everyone and walked in first.

Entering the firm under the guidance of Li Zongren, Wei Hong briefly looked at the interior of the firm, which was similar to the decoration of the Hangzhou headquarters, or the Beijing branch was a miniature version of the Hangzhou headquarters. Li Zongren instructed the servants to show tea to everyone, and Fang Zhizhi drank two cups with him, and then hurriedly retired, saying that he would go home first to report his safety. As for the sketching, Fang Yizhi is not in a hurry, anyway, Wei Hong has come to the capital, and there is time to study in the future.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Xuanqing asked Li Zongren to arrange a few good houses for everyone to live in. Then Li Xuanqing greeted Wei Hong and asked the servant to get into the carriage and go to Guozijian immediately. Wei Hong knew that the rat infestation was urgent, so he did not refuse, and obediently followed Li Xuanqing into the carriage.

On the way to Guozijian, Li Xuanqing told Wei Hong the precautions and the etiquette that should be due after meeting Guozijian. What Wei Hong hates the most is red tape, he used to meet and give up, and calling him a brother is enough to give Wei Hong a headache. After learning a lot of etiquette for going to Guozijian, Wei Hong was even more of a big one.

"You're going to let me hold my feet for the time being, it's too late, or let's go another day? I'll take a good look at the etiquette and precautions involved. Wei Hong said tentatively.

As a result, Li Xuanqing scolded his head and face: "By the time you learn it, Liuzhou will have been eaten by rats a long time ago!" That's it, how can you come as you please, and I'll explain it to Lord Sacrificial Wine when the time comes! ”

It's good to be early like this, what do you have to say.;
