Chapter 9: Next Steps

Du Baozhu was thinking about the future of the Du family, and Du Guangyi had already sent away Shouwang and the others.

After the two siblings said goodbye to Cui's together, he cheekily got into Du Baozhu's carriage.

He was tall and big, and he squeezed the two girls by himself. However, after the maidservants got off the train, he stretched out his long legs, and the carriage still looked a little narrow, so he had to withdraw his feet again.

Du Baozhu looked at his shrunken and aggrieved look, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't the eldest brother going to Zhangjialou restaurant to eat wine?" What do you follow me for? ”

"Hehe," Du Guangyi smirked: "I'll let them eat first, and I'll send you back to the house in a while, and I'll rush over again!" ”

Du Baozhu looked at the white swaying sunlight outside the window, and couldn't help but remind him: "It's only noon, you drink less wine." When he went to see the master with a drunken body, he was not afraid of being taught a lesson. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Du Guangyi smiled arrogantly: "Wine is a crazy drug, the more I drink, the more I make articles." Isn't Shixian Taibai a hundred poems about fighting wine, although I can't compare to him, but it's not a problem to do ten or eight poems! ”

Before I even drank the wine, I was already crazy.

The Tang people's drinking habit was so prevalent that Du Baozhu couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to stop the topic and tell the coachman to drive.

When he arrived at the gate of Du Mansion, Du Baozhu's feet had just landed, and Du Guangyi urged the groom to turn the horse's head and rushed to the Zhangjialou restaurant: "You tell A-Niang, I'll come back tonight!" ”

This big brother......

Du Baozhu couldn't help but shake his head.

After contacting her new family today, she couldn't find anyone with a city government. When she thought of the stormy fate of the Du family, she felt that the task on her shoulders was very heavy.

"Little lady." The little maid Wen Xi frequently looked back at the alley, and whispered in Du Baozhu's ear: "It seems that someone followed us on the road just now." ”

"Huh?" Du Baozhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Xi's line of sight.

I saw people coming and going at the entrance of the alley, and I couldn't see anything strange for a while.

But Wenxi is not a taste of doing things, if it is not true, she will not talk nonsense.

Du Baozhu frowned and fell into deep thought.

Who would be interested in such an ordinary little lady as her?

The first object of suspicion that came to her mind was Shouwang.

But when he carefully recalled his previous performance, he really couldn't find anything worthy of his attention.

Could it be that the Shouwang is made of glass, and no one is allowed to look at it?

After thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, Du Baozhu simply pressed this matter back to the bottom of his heart.

Anyway, the shop is watched by Du Guangyi, so it's a big deal that she doesn't go out for a few days. Who can be so bored as to stare at the little girl eating, drinking, and having fun every day?

"Maybe you're wrong." She lowered her eyes slightly, and lightly opened the topic.

Wen Xi has always been clever, and when she saw that she didn't want to talk about it, she obediently shut up: "There are too many pedestrians on the road, it should be that the slave is wrong." ”

Du Baozhu nodded, and instructed Weile to send the things he brought back back to the Four Seasons Garden, and then go to the big kitchen to find someone.

"Slave obedience." Taste the joy of the order, and leave with large bags and small bags.

Du Baozhu took Wen Xi to Cui's courtyard to report safety.

When Cui Shi saw her, he couldn't help but say another thing: "It's not peaceful now, bring more servants when you go out...... Of course, it's best if you don't go out......"

It's a pity that the second aunt has left, and no one speaks for Du Baozhu, so she has to bear Cui's tight spell.

After having lunch in Cui's courtyard, Du Baozhu returned to his courtyard.

At this time, the small kitchen of the Four Seasons Garden was already full of dry goods such as longan, raisins, tapioca flour, sugar syrup, and tea.

These are all on the way back, she asked Du Guangyi to help buy them, but she didn't expect there to be so many of them.

"I've seen the little lady...... a woman with a shaved yellow face and a thin body trembling and stepped forward to salute.

After the salute, he stood in place with his hands tied up, his eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look around.

This woman's name is Lin Niang, who sold herself into the house the year before last, and now she is doing the rough work of watching the stove in the big kitchen.

Du Baozhu took a closer look at Lin Niang, and saw that although she was described as withered, her face and fingernails were clean, and she was three points satisfied.

Coupled with Lin Niang's ability in memory, satisfaction has reached seven points.

"Lin Niang, right?"

Du Baozhu consciously spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

And when Lin Niang heard her words, she trembled like a sieve, her knees weakened, and she knelt down with a bang: "Slave, slave is!" ”

The two maidservants were used to it.

The straightforward taste of music even shouted: "The little lady asks, you just tell the truth." What are you shaking, can you still eat it? ”

"Yes, yes, slave obeys."

Lin Niang trembled even more.

The memory flickered, and Du Baozhu finally figured out why Lin Niang was so afraid of her.
