Chapter 136: Going to Hangzhou Mansion (1)
"Miss, the food has been prepared, do you want to use it?" Han Lian came in and inquired.
Diancui's face was a little pale, nodded slightly, and said, "Just put it here, and don't delay the eldest brother to read when it runs out." ”
Han Lian came in with hibiscus and cleaned up a small table, on which were placed four dishes of light side dishes, two plates of fried dumplings with mushrooms and chicken with thin skin, a pot of fresh fruit soup with milk, and a large bowl of washed delicate yellow and soft apricots, which made people have a great appetite when they looked at it.
"Do you want two cousins to use some together?" Gui Bonian asked politely, but his face was a little detached.
"No, no need, I see that the second sister is a little tired, send her back to rest first, and the fourth sister will meet again another day." Gui Chuchu glanced at the second sister, and didn't understand why she was like this today.
Seeing that the two of them were leaving, Diancui hurriedly stood up and went to send them off, but was pulled by Gui Chuchu, and said with an apologetic look Fourth sister, I will go to your courtyard to talk tonight. As he spoke, he vigorously pulled the soulless Gui Chu Yu away.
"Second sister, what's wrong with you today? Why do you want to say that the fourth sister can't get off the stage," Gui Chuchu couldn't help complaining: "You also know that the fourth sister has always been a person of great affection, whether it is for the two of us, or the lobby brother, it is she who took the initiative to make friends in exchange for everyone's love today, and you don't know what she has encountered since she was a child, how difficult it is." Besides, her teacher has known her for a long time, and the friendship between the two of them must be very deep, in fact, we can put our beaks! ”
"I don't know what's going on today, I don't know." Gui Chuyu covered his face and cried out loud.
This frightened Gui Chuchu, so he hurriedly hugged his sister and asked Second Sister What's wrong with you, don't scare Chuchu.
What's wrong with her? Gui Chu Yu didn't know, what she knew was that she was shocked by Yuan Gongzi's meanness today, and all the thoughts in her heart these days were also shocked.
After that day, I couldn't help but be shocked by Chu Yu, even Diancui was shocked, and the title of Yuan Zhiheng was changed from Yuan Gongzi to teacher, and his attitude became much more respectful.
Yuan Zhiheng changed the title of this female apprentice for a while, and he didn't think much about it. Little girl, it's all uncertain, and it's normal to have one idea at a time.
"Your sister Yu likes Brother Heng'er, and she will talk about Brother Heng'er in the West Courtyard for another day, if this matter can really be done, it will be a good story. But soon the scientific examination will be, and your eldest brother and Brother Heng have no time to take care of anything else now, and they will mention it after the scientific examination. Wu muttered in front of Dian Cui.
Diancui looked at the toes, looking at the nose and the nose and the heart.
"Don't feel awkward about my son, although Brother Heng is your nominal teacher, but after all, there is no formal apprenticeship, if you become your brother-in-law in the future, this is the difference in the master-apprentice relationship." Wu said again.
The apprentice is also a tea, and it is not a child's play, Diancui secretly thinks in her heart, if she chooses between her brother-in-law and the teacher, she naturally doesn't want to recognize him as a brother-in-law of Raushzi.
However, Sister Yu likes him
It's Sister Yu, not anyone else.
…… Sister Yu, in the future, I will work with my mother to compensate you.
Dian Cui's face became paler when he remembered the words of that day.
Although it was past March, the sun was warm outside, but the room was a little cold, and Diancui fiddled with the silver charcoal in the brazier, and sighed boredly.
Wu was about to laugh at her young age and sigh at what kind of foreignness.
"Madam, the housekeeper and the Pillow Wind Maiden ask to see you." The maid outside came in to report.
"Let them in." As soon as Wu Shi heard that these two people were coming together, something must have happened, so he didn't have time to tease some more Cui and let her play with the coals there.
"Madam, something happened to the shop in Hangzhou!" Pillow Wind came in the door, and when he saw that there was no one else, he immediately spoke: "The shopkeeper over there wrote that they originally summarized the accounts once a quarter, and the accounts of the previous winter were good, but the recent check of the accounts of this spring was out of a big basket, and he wanted to check it carefully, but the original account book was hidden by a young man, and now the young man is gone." ”
"Young man? When did you recruit the young man, can he report it to the official if he stole the account books? Wu immediately asked.
"I reported it, and I have reported it to the government in Hangzhou, but that person seems to have disappeared, and I can't find it no matter how I look for it," the housekeeper sighed: "Originally, our Angelica Pavilion was a monopoly in Hangzhou, but who knew that at this juncture, there was a Jin Yuxuan menacing, and the style of the head and face was almost the same as ours!" ”
"It seems that someone leaked our style drawing, and there are internal ghosts." Wu Shi said coldly.
"In addition to the ghosts, the price of the same jewelry sold by their Jin Yuxuan is less than thirty percent of our Angelica Pavilion!" The housekeeper said miserably.
Thirty percent? The material of the gold, silver, jade and gemstones used in the head jewelry will be three, and there is artificial, how can it be that the price is less than three percent?
It seems that there must be a cat among them who are tired of it, Wu Shi frowned and said in his heart.
"Madam, what shall we do now?" Pillow Feng asked anxiously, the shopkeeper of the shop in Hangzhou Mansion is now unable to catch it, the ghost who steals the pattern map can't be caught, the spring account is wrong, the silver on the account is less than eighty percent, and the silver money for raw materials in the warehouse is not much, and there is a menacing opponent......
"But you want the second young master to go to Hangzhou?" The butler suggested.
Wu Shi sighed and said, "The second child has already gone out this morning, and his uncle has gone to sea." ”
The second young master is not there, and the lady is not suitable to go far away, and several shopkeepers in the shop in Beijing are also unfamiliar with the situation in Hangzhou.
"The situation is urgent, how can this be good!" The housekeeper was anxious.
"Why don't you and me, the housekeeper, go on a trip," Pillow Feng thought for a while: "The most suitable person has always been the only one of us, and you will be responsible for secretly investigating the ghosts and cleaning up the portal, and I will be responsible for talking to the merchants of gold, silver and jade materials before." ”
"This ......" Wu Shi thought for a while, and now it seems that in addition to the housekeeper and the pillow wind, there is no one else, hey!
"Mother, I'll go." Although Dian Cui was playing with the brazier on the side, he saw that they listened to what they said.
Hearing this, she actually had a bold guess in her heart, that is, this matter is likely to be inseparable from An Peiqing!
"You're going?" Wu Shi looked at her small hand with a fire tong to smash the spark child, and she refused to do it!
"Mother, I can really do it." Diancui hurriedly said: "Neither Hangzhou housekeeper nor Sister Pillow Wind have been there, but I know ...... well."
Do you belong to? Wu Shi looked at her puzzled.
Ahem, Diancui is cooked, but it was only in the previous life that An Peiqing took her to live for a while before saying that it was cooked.
"Yes, my mother forgot that the teacher is a person from Hangzhou, and I often hear him talk about the customs of Hangzhou, so I am naturally familiar with it." Diancui lied.
Wu will be suspicious, even if he has an understanding of Hangzhou Mansion, it is far from enough, this time the matter is too complicated, maybe it will be dangerous......
Hearing this, Diancui winked at Wu and smiled: "Didn't you forget that your daughter is not a vegetarian!" ”
Yes, all the way from Qianjia Village to the capital, he secretly exchanged the deed early and did not become a slave, so that the ugly matter of Gui Chuyu was exposed, and he successfully recognized his relatives, became a closed disciple of Guo Lao, helped reconcile with the people of the clan, and persuaded his brother to give up the idea of becoming a monk......
But is she a vegetarian, Wu Shi shook his head with a smile, he was always confused by her well-behaved little appearance, forgetting that his daughter had some ability.
Seeing that her mother seemed to be loose, Diancui hit the railroad while it was hot: "The things on the account, Diancui has always been careful, this time let Dongxue also go together, she is also a good hand at settling accounts, my mother doesn't have to be afraid that those people will deceive me." Don't worry about the head and face jewelry, but her daughter is Guo Lao's disciple, so she won't ask them to take care of it. In addition, call two clever and martial arts guys to follow, protect all the way, and you will be worry-free. ”
"This ......" Wu was still a little worried about her safety, after all, it was a long way to go, and she was a girl's family.
"Madam, I think Miss is right, she will definitely take care of this matter if she goes." The housekeeper immediately said, Miss must be the master, is the master of the Angelica Pavilion, compared to him and the pillow wind, it shows the importance of the main family to this matter, Hangzhou is out of the ghost, but most of the guys and craftsmen are good, everyone is afraid of losing their jobs, and they are all looking at the action of returning home.
"Mother, you will let me go!" Diancui stepped forward and begged.
Wu Shi thought for a while, and finally said: "You can go, but I will repair a letter to your second uncle, so that you can remember Cousin An with you, so that I can rest assured." ”
Wu Yi'an has followed the adults in his family to do business since he was a child, and his knowledge and experience are different from ordinary people, and he is reluctant to study and do learning, and he can also do some punches, and he is a person who can write and martial arts. With him going with Diancui, Wu was relieved.
"Cousin Yi'an......" Diancui sighed: "It's not impossible, but I'm afraid that if he appears in Hangzhou Mansion, it will be too dazzling." ”
In addition to being a civilian, military and businessman, Wu Yi'an also has a name, which is the most beautiful man in the capital...... Where to take him with him is not a sensation?
"You, don't be naughty!" Wu Shi tapped her eyebrows with his fingers, and instructed: "In front of your cousin Yi'an, don't mention his name as 'the most beautiful man in the capital', your cousin is taboo about this, can you remember?" ”
Diancui rubbed her eyebrows, begged for mercy and said that she knew it, she knew, her daughter would not be in front of Cousin Yi'an, he was the first beautiful man in the capital......
In the end, it was decided at this time, Diancui and Wu Yi'an went together, the attendants were Dongxue and Xin'er, but the little maid was Du Xiaozhu and a man named Li Chang in the front yard nursing home, and finally Diancui named Li Qingshan to be the most colleague.
After a while, all the courtyards in the house also knew that something had happened to the shop in Hangzhou, and Dian Cui, as a young lady, wanted to go to Hangzhou to deal with this tricky matter, and Mrs. had already agreed.
Since the Wu family agreed, the old man had no opinion, and only instructed two sentences to pay attention to safety, bring more people and more silver.
The old lady also called Diancui to lecture her, which roughly means that your trip represents homecoming, is the main family of Angelica Pavilion, since it is the main family, you must take out the momentum of the main family, no matter whether it is successful or not, there must always be a bearing of Mount Tai and immovable, don't be so flattering to the well-behaved little family, and let people look at the joke of returning home for no reason.
Diancui couldn't cry or laugh, even if she was a young lady who had returned home, she was originally a maid embryo who was secretly stingy in the eyes of the old lady, but she had a good temper and didn't reason with the old lady, but she said everything in one bite.
Soon the old lady was speechless, this point cui is such a dough kneading character, you scold her she is not angry, you are angry she is still smiling, soft and slippery and not slippery, really drumming to death, the more the old lady feels that this girl is clearly to treat herself.
Wu Shi took Dian Cui's hand and kept sending her to the carriage, how could she worry that there was not much silver taels to treat Dian Cui this time. Because of the recent spending on happy events at home, and now that spring is approaching, shops all over the country have bought the gold, silver and jade of the spring and summer seasons with the silver money in their hands, and there is no money to support the shops in Hangzhou.
On the other hand, Cui was not in a hurry, she seemed to be in her chest, and when she left, she just regretted that she couldn't see her brother and teacher nominated on the scientific examination list this time, but Gui Bonian reassured her that he could enter the national prison no matter whether he was nominated or not.
These are words of comfort to her, and Gui Bonian naturally still wants to fight for another breath.
"Okay, uncle and aunt, you can rest assured, Cousin Diancui, I will take good care of her, I will not lose her, and there is no need to worry about the shop, things will always ......be revealed" Wu Yi'an came to pick up Diancui early, and sang a promise to the third master and the Wu family.
What do you mean to have lost me...... How old am I, and will I lose it? Dian Cui whispered unhappily.
After saying goodbye to his father and mother and eldest brother, Diancui went to say goodbye to Guo Lao, and then Yuan Zhiheng.
"Go, now you can be on your own in the hairpin making and the style of the head, don't lose it when you go there, don't lose your face as a teacher." Guo Lao thought the same as the old lady, and Diancui couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Here are all the new books that have come out of the capital recently, all with you, look at it on the road to relieve boredom......" Yuan Zhiheng instructed Yuan Fu to load the thick stack of book books into the carriage.
"Thank you, teacher." Diancui sniffed, lowered her head and said sullenly.
Seeing her like this, like a poor quail, Yuan Zhiheng couldn't help but raise his head to pat her head, but he didn't expect to be avoided by her, and his hand fluttered into the air.
"Let's go, little cousin, I heard that Hangzhou is the brightest spring in March, if we can finish the shop earlier, my cousin will take you all over Hangzhou." Wu Yi'an raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yuan Zhiheng, turned around and helped his cousin into the carriage.
This person has been in the limelight in front of Erlang Temple, he is a talented and conceited person, and Wu Yi'an has never liked people who are the same kind as himself.
Everyone watched the young lady and the young master go on the road, and it was not until they were far away that they reluctantly returned to the house.
Yuan Zhiheng, who returned to the courtyard, felt very uncomfortable in his heart, especially when he thought of the peacock-like Wu Yi'an leaving, he felt irritated and nervous when he raised his eyebrows provocatively.
