Chapter 232: The Visit
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Gu Yu left the British Mansion and instructed the coachman: "Go to Jing'an Temple Hutong!" Then he jumped into the carriage.
The coachman did not dare to slack off, and drove all the way, but after half an hour's effort, he arrived at the mouth of the alley of Jing'an Temple.
Gu Yu jumped out of the car and saw that there was a bean curd seller at the mouth of the alley, because it was Qingli, there were only two or three porters who looked like men.
He sent the people around him to the alley of Jing'an Temple, found a clean bench to sit down, ordered a bowl of bean curd, and ate it slowly.
After a while, the bean curd stall became lively.
When the stall owner was busy, he casually greeted two women who were standing in front of the stall drinking bean curd: "Sister-in-law Liu, why are you and Sister-in-law Wang going to sell vegetables today?" Got a guest at home? β
"yes!" One of the women in a lilac bikini smiled and said, "Today, we invite Quanfu people to our house, and we want a whole few tables of banquets." β
According to the etiquette, when a family marries a daughter-in-law and a daughter, they must invite the Quanfu people who help and the people who comb their hair to the house for a drink of wine a few days in advance to show their respect.
The stall owner kept his hands and feet, laughing and gossiping with the woman: "Your fifth lady is really lively when she comes out of the pavilion!" It is said that it was invited to be a Quanfu person made by Mrs. Hanlin of Hanlin Academy, I don't know which lady was invited to be a Quanfu person when the fourth lady came out of the cabinet this time! β
"Naturally, it's also Mrs. Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy," the lady said with a smile, "but this time it's the wife of Lord Zhao's family who was invitedβLord Zhao and our family are in the same family." β
"This rich family is different," someone next to him answered, "how can you marry two daughters in a month, how can you get 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver?" β
The two women smiled silently.
Someone coaxed: "Sister-in-law Liu, you can tell us about it!" I heard that Master Dou married his daughter this time and donated 1,000 taels of silver to Jing'an Temple for sesame oil, right? β
The woman laughed and said, "How do I know?" I'm just serving on the stove. These things must be asked of the steward of our house. β
Another said: "Why haven't I seen your senior management these days?" β
The woman said, "I said hello to the senior management before I went out......"
Gu Yu lost a piece of broken silver. Quietly left the bean flower stall, found the carriage at the side gate of Jing'an Temple, and stepped forward to pick up the coachman's clothes: "Give me a while." Regardless of the fact that the coachman only wore a thin middle coat and sat on the wheel with an embarrassed face, he went straight to the back door of Dou's mansion, and with the help of two personal guards, he turned into the backyard of the Dou family, and quickly found the east wing where Dou Zhao rested.
Dou Zhao almost didn't sleep all night, and he didn't close his eyes until the sky was slightly white, and he was asleep at this time, not only in the wing. The entire maid and mother-in-law in the upper room walked on tiptoe, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Yu took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.
The first three quarters.
I haven't gotten up at this time, so I can see that I am a good worker!
Gu Yu snorted coldly, put the pocket watch in his arms, and continued to stand motionless behind the pomegranate tree behind the wing room.
The sun is rising. There was movement in the east wing.
Su Xin served Dou Zhao with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, smiled and helped Dou Zhao tidy up the quilt, and said, "Do you want to sleep again?" It's just over an hour before lunch! β
Dou Zhaoru sat on pins and needles, where could he still sleep, and instructed Su Xin: "You go and invite Manager Gao, I have something to ask him." β
Su Xin went away in response and invited Gao Sheng over.
Dou Zhao asked him: "My father has always known that he is not good at taking care of housework. These things were entrusted to the third uncle, or handed over to you, and that day Sheng Yinlou was also unknown, and no one had ever heard of it. Even if my father wanted to quietly send something to me, he could have taken the silver off the books under the pretext of plating the Bodhisattva of the Zen temple with a golden body or something, how could he think of buying a stake in Risheng Silver Building? Why don't you persuade me? β
Happy lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "That day, the shopkeeper of Shengyin Building found the master again and again. The old man said that he was a man of work, and that Lord GuΓ² Yan had come to our house. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you have to take some silver and send him away. happened to meet the young lady's matter, so the master invested a large amount of silver into it. However, the shopkeeper also patted the old man's brother, at most three or five years, and he was allowed to make the Risheng Silver Building, although he didn't dare to say that the old man would take back all the share capital, but he would never lose the old man's share capital. β
Dou Zhao heard that Xing Xing was also in a tone of approval, thinking that this person was born in white, and he dared to use his life to block the King of Liao, it can be seen that he is also a heroic figure, and it is natural for his father and Xing to surrender.
She said happily: "The other two shareholders of Risheng Silver Building are my father's colleagues, and my father took out 50,000 taels of silver in one mouth. It's not good to push Lord Guo today, but it's not good to push Lord Zhao tomorrow, but it will offend people. Although the family has 50,000 taels of silver, I think it is impossible for my father to move 50,000 taels of silver to the shopkeeper in one go. At this, she glanced at her with joy.
Happy and busy: "Miss is wise." It is Tongde Yinlou, who often deals with our family, who is guaranteed, and said that it will arrive within fifteen days. Originally, the lord wanted to wait for the matter of Risheng Silver Building to settle before suing Miss SΓΉ, but he didn't expect the lord to tell Miss as soon as he got the contract for the shares......"
Dou Zhao's forehead was sweating.
If it weren't for the fact that my father drank a little too much today, if she hadn't yelled uncharacteristically, my father would have been secretly proud in his heart, and he wouldn't tell himself until the money arrived in the account of Risheng Silver Building, right?
She said:
"Then you tell Tongde Yinlou that this silver should not be transferred to Risheng Yinlou for the time being. Then I went to explain to the shopkeeper Zhang, and there were two happy events in the family, the aunts in the family were from prominent backgrounds, and they couldn't save a penny on the scene, and now the silver was not enough, and they had to wait for the end of the year to know if there was any silver for him tomorrow spring. I made it clear to him that the Dou family's father-in-law married his daughter, for example, only two thousand taels of silver, and Dou Ming's dowry and I were all my father's private money. Although the Dou family has money, the money is in the public school, and if the father wants to use the money in his name, he has to go through the third uncle. β
If Zhang Zhiqi found his father by chance, and met a person like his father who took out 50,000 taels of silver in one go, he would definitely send people repeatedly to persuade his father to give him silver; If he made up his mind, his purpose must be to make friends with the ministers for the King of Liao, and his father had no silver to give him, so he just took the opportunity to invest a few more shareholders in.
When the time comes, you can judge this Zhang Zhiqi's intentions.
Happy without doubt.
Many old and young masters don't care about general affairs. I don't know how much money I have at home, and it's not uncommon to owe a lot of money outside and the family can't get it out for a while. He just felt that Dou Zhao was like this, and he had disappointed Dou Shiying's kindness, and he was a little hesitant.
Dou Zhao was afraid that Dou Shiying would be embarrassed, but he insisted on investing money in Risheng Yinlou, and said: "Don't tell my father about this matter for the time being, I want to see what happened to Risheng Yinlou." If the people who are rich in money think that you are making things difficult for them, then do not say anything, but bring them directly to me. I've got my own to deal with. Then he thought that he was most loyal to his father, and if his father had spoken, he would have acted according to his father's will, and said, "At the end of the year." It was when the provincial officials reported on their work in Kyoto, Cui Shisan hooked up with a big patron and said that he would borrow 30,000 taels of silver to others this year, and he would pay it back in March, which was very profitable. You will lend me the money first. β
She knew that she would tell her father about it when she turned around, and that her father, who had always been kind to their sisters, knew that it was not only unfair to blame them. Maybe he will ask her if she doesn't have enough money, so let Xingxing send her a pen and silver.
Happiness is also known, and laughter should be.
Dou Zhao repeatedly told Xingxing: "If the people of Risheng Yinlou come to beg you, you must sue me." β
I am glad to promise it again and again. Only then did he retreat.
Gu Yu, who was eavesdropping on the window lattice, was about to explode in his lungs.
This woman not only meddles in the housework behind her father's back, but also puts money in the house. It's really bold, and I see the money.
How could Brother Tianci marry such a woman.
No way. He has to tell Brother SΓΉ God about this!
No wonder Uncle Song hurriedly decided this family affair for Brother Tianci.
It turned out that I still thought that if this woman was good-looking, she would be more wooden if she had a wooden personality, and when she gave birth to a son, she would just help watch it. Now it seems that he is a troublemaker!
30,000 taels of silver, listening to her tone, it seems to be 30 taels of silver, looking like she doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, and oil are, where is the person who can be the director of the house and preside over the feed.
Gu Yu didn't look at what Dou Zhao looked like, turned around and left the upper courtyard, and hurried to the British Mansion.
Song Mo was summoned into the palace.
He was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and wanted to go to the palace to find Song Mo.
Chen He pulled Gu Yu and whispered: "It's the prince of Xuan, who came in person from the queen's mother's side, Gonggong Lu." β
Could it be that the emperor's illness has been committed again?
Gu Yu was afraid that when he entered the palace, he ran into Princess Jingyi and pulled him to cry endlessly, which provoked his aunt to teach him a lesson.
He thought about it and went to the Yan'an Marquis Mansion.
Wang Qinghuai was talking to his father with the wedding card sent by the Song family, and when he heard that Gu Yu was coming, he hurriedly welcomed Gu Yu into the study.
Gu Yu saw Zi Xiti at a glance and said, "You also know about this?" β
Wang Qinghuai nodded, personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Yu, and said with a smile: "Listening to your tone, you only knew it when you received the wedding card." Then he complained, "Yantang is also true, and we can't say anything about getting married, I want to prepare a big gift for him It's too late, I'm afraid I can only give more gifts." β
Gu Yu sneered: "Don't give the gift money for the time being, I'll ask Brother Tianci first." β
Wang Qinghuai quietly spied: "What, Yantang still doesn't know? β
How could Brother Tianci not know?
It's just that I don't know that the fourth lady of the Dou family is such a person.
"I went to find Brother Tianci, and he was summoned into the palace." Gu Yu said vaguely, "I haven't met him yet." β
Wang Qinghuai smiled and nodded.
But I know it in my heart.
I'm afraid that this marriage is the intention of the British duke, and Song Mo doesn't know it at all.
I didn't expect the gap between their father and son to be so big.
Fortunately, I didn't marry my sister to the Song family, otherwise I wouldn't have to eat even the bones.
He smiled and said: "My sister got married on the fourth day of the ninth month, and you and Yantang will also come to have a drink of joy at that time!" β
