Chapter 222: Surprised
Yuan Dongchu understood what Zhuo Jinglan meant, and said with a smile: "Xiaocui is young and hasn't said kiss yet. However, if Xiaocui plans to continue to work in the delivery bank, she will mention this condition when she wants to come to her relatives. ”
The implication is that this matter is up to Xiaocui herself.
What Yuan Dongchu didn't say was that Gu Tiancheng was very optimistic about Xiaocui, and planned to wait for Xiaoman to be a little older in two years, and help him propose marriage and ask for Xiaocui.
As for Xiaoman, Gu Tiancheng planned to leave him in Muliang Town and use him as the head of Chengyun's shipping base.
At that time, the young couple will be in Muliang Town, one is in charge of the maintenance and recuperation of the ship, and the other is a large-scale transit base for the delivery bank, and the husband and wife accompany each other and help each other...... What a prospect.
Anyway, Yuan Dongchu was very optimistic, she turned to Xiao Cui and asked with a smile, "Is that so?" ”
Xiao Cui gave her a look that you realized for yourself, and silently turned her gaze away. Sister Dong Chu is really, and she makes fun of her in front of outsiders. Ask her this kind of thing, what should she say?
The look she showed was very firm, indicating that she, like Xiuchun, would continue to do it in the delivery bank.
And judging from Yuan Dongchu's attitude, she will reuse the two of them.
Yuan Dongchu, who was given a side face by Xiaocui, didn't care, but turned his head and complained to Zhuo Jinglan: "Look at how inappropriate your words are, I'm embarrassed to ask my Xiaocui." ”
Zhuo Jinglan: "......"
Obviously, at the beginning of winter, she asked herself, okay? is still in a joking tone, and I am embarrassed to rely on her!
Such a distraction made Zhuo Jinglan put aside the fact that someone wanted to intervene in the delivery bank.
She has already set a marriage, the Zhuo family has a century-old foundation, and in terms of children's family affairs, she has no idea of marrying to make a profit, so she will not marry her according to the high marriage and low marriage to find her in-law's family.
Zhuo Jinglan's husband's family is the Wu family of the gentry in Gyeongju in the lower reaches of the river, and the family style is quite good, and the Zhuo family is a family friend, and they know each other's roots.
When Mrs. Fang chose a son-in-law for her daughter, she chose the second son of the Wu family among several sons of the same age, and the picture shows that the Wu family's family style is quite positive, and the children in the family will be carefully taught, but they don't do much to get into the official career, and only manage the good fields and Zhuangzi in the family.
In this era, the most valuable and down-to-earth thing is cultivated land. As long as there is arable land, there is food, and whether it is a new dynasty or an old dynasty, grain is the foundation of stability.
It is rare that the successive generations of the Wu family can recognize this form, and they have never been confused by the power brought by their careers, but gradually accumulated their family business in a low-key manner, achieving the status of the Wu family's gentry.
What satisfies Mrs. Fang the most is that the Wu family has a huge family business, but there are few concubines in the head family and the children in the clan.
Mrs. Wu also thought about it, and after her sons got married, although they did not divide the family, they each received some land in the house to operate it for their daily use in this house.
As for how life is going, it depends on their ability and that of their children.
Of course, the family's big expenses and marriage are still the burden of the Wu family.
Moreover, the Wu family got rid of the children's dumping with each other, reduced a lot of unnecessary expenses, and completely afforded these expenses, and could always earn face for each house as a member of the wealthy family.
Mrs. Fang chose the second son of the Wu family for Zhuo Jinglan, so that she could live more easily because she was the heir of the Wu family and did not have to bear the fatigue of the eldest grandson and eldest daughter-in-law.
As for the identity and situation in the Wu family...... With the support of a rich dowry, and the backing of such a strong maiden family of the Zhuo family, Mrs. Fang Da is not worried about this at all.
Zhuo Jinglan has no objection to her mother's choice. But at this time, when she re-examined the weight of this family matter, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be some other benefit besides her mother's desire for her to live freely.
"What is the second lady thinking?"
Yuan Dongchu's questioning recalled Zhu Jinglan from her free state.
"Oh......" Zhuo Jinglan was stunned at first, and then asked, "What can I do if I go to the delivery line?" ”
"Isn't it?" Yuan Dongchu was surprised.
She didn't think about this possibility, Zhuo Jinglan has the identity of the second miss of the Zhuo family, if she can sit in a delivery bank in a state and county, the delivery bank in that place can be much less troublesome, and it is easier to get on the right track, and it is not easy to be warped.
What's more, I heard that Zhuo Jinglan's Wu family, who was married, was rich in Gyeongju, and even added an insurance.
However, what is Zhuo Jinglan's identity? And it's also a big show for everyone. Although she came to Chengyun to deliver a lot of benefits, Yuan Dongchu didn't dare to think about it.
The rest of the people in the room, not only Xiuchun and Xiaocui were surprised, but even the maid Yingyu who was waiting in the room and Mama Zhang, who was accompanying her, were all taken aback, and they were all suspicious, and their eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the four people sitting around the small table.
"What, am I doing things badly?" Zhuo Jinglan frowned and said angrily.
"This ......" Yuan Dongchu hesitated, looked at Mama Zhang and the others in embarrassment, and said, "If the second miss is in charge of one of the delivery banks, not to mention anything else, only the identity of the second miss will have a ten points of advantage over others." Because of this, the second lady has a noble status and does this...... Not suitable, right? ”
Zhuo Jinglan was unhappy at the moment: "What do you mean, I just have a special identity, but I can't actually do practical things?" ”
"What's the matter," Yuan Dongchu couldn't laugh or cry, "We have written preparatory documents together, and of course your ability to do things is beyond doubt." I mean, in addition to being very capable of doing things, you also have a huge advantage that others don't have. But your identity is really not suitable for showing up, right? ”
Zhuo Jinglan was not comforted at all, and continued to be displeased: "This can also be a reason? If you were born in a wealthy family and also have such skills, would you be willing to spend your life in the back house regardless of your identity? ”
Inadvertently, even Zhuo Jinglan herself didn't realize that she already had a different definition of her current life.
Sure enough, Yuan Dongchu disagreed with her wording: "What is a grind? ”
Several people in the room expressed their gratitude to Yuan Dongchu, but they didn't dare to say this.
"Then it's a waste of life, you just say will it be, right?" Zhuo Jinglan changed her word from the good, but insisted on her question.
Yuan Dongchu paused and said, "No." ”
Of course she won't, crossing the bank of a great river where river transportation is extremely prosperous, and if she puts such a resource aside, it will not only be tyrannical, but also extremely irresponsible to herself.
"That's it." Zhuo Jinglan ended the topic with four words, and then did her duty as the owner with a smile, "Come on, try this dim sum, this is the special dim sum of the newly opened Xinyi dim sum house in Tongzhou......"
