Chapter 90: Invitation II
Mama Liu was not verbose, and after a few polite words, she made her intention clear: "My lord read the documents for the establishment of the letter bureau and praised Miss Yuan's talent. I hope that the girl can write the paper as soon as possible, and the two sides can start as soon as possible to prepare for the establishment of the letter bureau. ”
When talking about important things, it was still Gu Tiancheng who made the decision, and he said politely: "What the big official said is true." Miss Yuen returned from the shipyard today and has been rushing to write paperwork in the cabin. There are no other arrangements for the next few days, and I plan to work the paperwork. ”
After Gu Tiancheng finished speaking, several of them were waiting for this grandmother's next step.
In order to be able to write a plan quickly, it is most appropriate to use the secretary or manager of Hongjiang Shipyard.
Yuan Dongchu elaborated on the main content, and the people of Hongjiang Shipyard wrote the detailed content. After that, Yuan Dongchu checked it, so that he could quickly write out the plan.
What puzzled them was that Zhuo Yuantu attached great importance to a cooperation project, and actually sent a mother-in-law from the back house to negotiate, which was very unreasonable.
Sure enough, Mama Liu didn't have this idea when she spoke: "Miss Yuan is so talented, not only is my grandfather appreciated it, but my wife, grandmother, and second lady also yearn for the girl." ”
Even if they had previous doubts, but when they heard Mama Liu's opening, Yuan Dongchu and Gu Tiancheng were also surprised, and looked at each other a few times.
Cooperative Credit Bureau, this is still business, right?
Such a serious matter, why did it suddenly turn to the back house and pull out the wife, grandmother and second lady?
It's just that I praise her a lot, and if I want to make friends or something, shouldn't I finish my business and come back?
What Mama Liu said was really serious: "What my lord meant, there is a lot involved in preparing for the establishment of the Information Bureau, and with the strength of the girl alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to write in a short time." Miss Yuan Cardamom Woman, if you want someone to help, it is more convenient to go to our house. The girl pointed out, and my grandmother and the second lady wrote, and it was better to combine the three of them than to work out the girl alone. ”
When the business was said, Mama Liu showed a kind smile on her face and said: "Actually, I heard that Miss Yuan's talent is amazing, and the second lady of my family admires her very much, and she wants to make friends with the girl." My wife also hopes that the second lady can have more skills, so that she can be more organized in the future. ”
The Zhuo family has this honesty, and of course Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu have nothing to say.
Although it is awkward to enter a large house, the benefits are also obvious. At least let Yuan Dongchu see that the rules of high-ranking families in this era are exquisite.
As for the person who wrote the plan, as long as Chengyun Nanbei and Hongjiang Shipyard can be trusted, it doesn't matter who it is.
Even if the eldest grandmother and the second lady of the Zhuo family really wanted to learn something from it, Yuan Dongchu had nothing to hide.
Once this kind of thing is used, it can't be hidden at all.
Instead of not being able to hide, it is better to be generous and discuss and communicate with them more, maybe people can still get a favor.
There was good will on both sides, and the matter was settled right away. It was agreed that early the next morning, Zhuo Fu would send a carriage to the dock to pick up Yuan Dongchu from the house.
Sending Mama Liu away, Gu Tiancheng looked at the sky, and said with great annoyance: "We really shouldn't have promised her to come to the house early tomorrow morning, I didn't know that Zhuo Daguan would have this arrangement, and we didn't prepare." At the beginning of winter, you go to their house, and you must have two decent clothes. However, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and it will be too late to prepare. ”
Yuan Dongchu didn't care very much: "Where is it so troublesome, we are here to do things, not to be guests, I can choose two of the existing clothes." Our origins are here, even if you give us a piece of Xia now, you can't pretend to be a princess. ”
"Say what? Do people know by their clothes? "Gu Tiancheng is displeased, how can he slander himself like this?
In his eyes, the beginning of winter deserves the best in the world, whether it is clothing, or food and drink.
That being said, the matter has been finalized, and you can't just say that you can change the time because you are preparing clothes.
At this time, Gu Tiancheng could only secretly make up his mind that he would pull a few pieces of good material on the return trip. Go back and ask your mother to help you make a few clothes for guests to wear when you go out at the beginning of winter.
The next day, Yuan Dongchu chose two muslin dresses without patches among the change of clothes she brought, and boarded the carriage of Zhuo Mansion with Aunt Liu.
Zhuo Yuantu is optimistic about Gu Yuan and the others, and if he intends to make friends, of course he will not neglect the specifications of the carriage.
When the carriage stopped on the shore, it attracted the attention of various people.
When I saw the person boarding the car, it turned out to be a girl who got off the very inconspicuous cargo ship, and the people watching around talked about it:
"It's the one who runs the letter bureau, right?"
"Yes, yes, I originally heard that the letter bureau and Zhuo Daguanren's shipyard partnered, and it turned out that they had such a deep friendship. See? The carriage was the second lady of the Zhuo family who used to sit when she went out. ”
"Sure enough, people can't look good, look at the people who come in and out of that boat, all of them are poor boys, how can there be any decent? It is surprising that Zhuo Daguan is so valued. ”
"And the lady who followed the car, see? Is it Mama Liu? The eldest lady of the Zhuo family is in charge of the grandmother, a first-class decent person. ”
"Even the Zhuo family attaches so much importance to them, you say that their letter bureau is really reliable, right?"
"It must be reliable, then I need to say."
"Yesterday, between the streets and alleys, there were a lot of half-sized children running, shouting for the letter bureau, saying that it was the right time to carry letters and give gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I'm still hesitant to bring a letter to my father and eldest sister. There are also things, no matter how many you want, and it is always a pleasure to bring them back. Do you think it's okay to use them to deliver it? ”
"I think it's okay, or you can give it a try. It's better than running around in your car and horses to save money, it doesn't matter, and it costs labor and money, which is a pity. ”
"yes, don't they have receipts? When the time comes, just look at their receipt, the letter bureau seems to have an intermediate guarantee, if there is no receipt, just find a guarantee to get back the compensation. ”
"I think so, so let's try it?"
“……”
The list goes on.
Unexpectedly, it was just that the Zhuo family's carriage turned around at the dock, which gave Gu Tiancheng and others a lot of publicity.
Not long after the carriage of the Zhuo family left, the eldest brother of Tongzhou Wharf, Sha Boss, also heard the news.
Brother Qing, the second-in-command under him, was still there to rejoice: "It seems that it is still wise for us not to listen to the rumors to deal with Gu Tiancheng." Zhuo Daguan actually has a deep friendship with them. ”
"Let's see." Boss Sha was noncommittal.
Zhuo Mansion's reception specifications for Yuan Dongchu are quite high, similar to that of his young lady. The carriage entered through the side door and went all the way until it was outside the second gate, and then stopped.
The curtain was lifted, and the coachman had placed his footstool firmly on the side of the carriage.
After getting out of the car, Mama Liu led Yuan Dongchu to the second gate.
didn't go far, and a few people came to the opposite corridor with a smile.
