Chapter Ninety-Nine: Suspicious
Yu Yuan was afraid that Yu Tang would overact and anger Gu Xi's nurse, but he couldn't achieve his goal, so he pulled Yu Tang's sleeve and pretended to scold her: "You said that you have such a temper, just a little bit, how dare I take you out again in the future?" If there is something to sit down and say. Everybody's looking at us! You're not afraid of being watched, I'm still afraid! ”
He thought that he could delay as much time as possible and say a few words about the Li family's mistakes in front of Gu San's mother and son.
Yu Tang still knew Gu San's mother and son well, and felt that his words were enough to make the mother and son suspicious, so they went to investigate the affairs of the Li family. Now that the goal has been achieved, she has no intention of having any entanglement with the Gu family's mother and son, the two bowls of noodles have already been paid for, and they can't be wasted. Hurry up and finish eating and leave.
She sat down.
Yu Yuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "That's right." The noodles are almost mushy, so let's eat the noodles first! After speaking, he said apologetically to Gu Xi Kong Niang: "Don't be angry, my sister, everything is fine, but my temper is a little anxious." However, he can't be blamed for everything. Speaking of this, he began to complain about Gu San, "Why didn't you tell me that you were from the Gu family?" If I had known this, I wouldn't have invited you to eat noodles together. ”
Gu San stood up from Yutang, and his mind had already turned several times. He couldn't tell for a moment whether the Yu Yuan brothers and sisters met him unintentionally or intentionally waited for him here, but whether it was the former or the latter, what they said about the Li family made him feel a slight chill in his heart.
His mother is the nurse of the eldest lady, and the fate of their family has been linked with the eldest lady from the beginning, and it is a relationship of prosperity and loss. The eldest lady's marriage, the eldest young master did not agree, but he couldn't stand the eldest master's soft ears, and he was moved by the wife who continued to talk about it in three or two clicks, and wanted to compete with the long house, and wanted to find a foil for the three young masters in the family.
If what the brothers and sisters of the Yu family said is true, then it is really possible that the eldest lady's aunt's family is as the eldest young master said at the beginning, the family background is too thin and there is no background, but I am afraid that there are no rules.
It is impossible to withdraw from the marriage, but the eldest lady's life is over!
Gu San was so anxious, where could he still eat bamboo shoots and noodles, he just wanted to quickly invite someone to inquire about what had happened to the Li family, so that he could go back and report to the eldest young master, so that the eldest young master and the eldest young master could see what to do with the eldest lady's marriage contract.
"Mommy!" He didn't speak, he glanced at his mother, signaled his mother not to talk to Miss Yu now, and then smiled apologetically at Yu Yuan, and said, "Brother Yu, I saw that you and Yao San'er have been friends since childhood, and I thought that he told you my identity, and it was my fault that you misunderstood." Listening to you, it seems that your Yu family has some grievances with our eldest aunt's family? However, as Miss Yu said, after all, my mother and I are just slaves and servants, and we can't say anything about the owner's affairs, so please forgive me. As for this same table, Miss Yu, I'm going to rush to the shop to help after lunch, so you should share a table with a stranger, and we'll leave as soon as we eat. ”
is worthy of being Gu Xi's right-hand man, and he speaks without leakage and is thorough.
Yu Tang has no intention of not reluctantly.
She nodded and sat down to eat her noodles.
The noodles of this house really live up to their reputation, even if they are not in the mood, after drinking the soup, the delicious taste suddenly makes her appetite greater, and the noodles are even stronger, so that Yu Tang involuntarily concentrates on eating noodles.
Gu Xi's mood was very complicated.
The Gu family is one of the most prominent families in Hangzhou, but there are many houses and contradictions. Even if the brothers and sisters of the Yu family have a grudge against the Li family, and want to ruin the marriage between their eldest lady and the Li family, it is impossible to completely spread rumors, although the number of people who come to this small noodle restaurant to eat noodles is not much, but eight or nine out of ten of the people who come to patronize are natives of Hangzhou, and the words of the brothers and sisters of the Yu family will soon be spread, if the Li family is really as unbearable as the brothers and sisters of the Yu family say, then the marriage of the eldest lady of their family has become a laughing stock in Hangzhou, and the eldest young master will be ridiculed for more than ten or twenty years?
There is also the step-wife of the family, originally because the eldest young master has the ability to look at the eldest young master everywhere, it is not pleasing to the eye, and there is no way to find the eldest young master, who in the Gu family does not know? If the Li family is really inappropriate, where will the face of the eldest young master of their family be placed!
Where can she still sit still, she can't eat two bites of noodles at will, and when her son's noodles are on the table, she frequently gives her son a look, signaling her son to finish eating quickly and leave.
Gu San calmed down.
The matter has come to this point, instead of running away in the desert and letting the people in Hangzhou see the jokes, it is better to ask the Yu family brothers and sisters for more news.
He ate a few bites of noodles in a row, and felt that his stomach was fifty percent full, and Yu Yuan had almost eaten it, so he spoke: "Brother Yu, what happened to the Li family, can you tell me." I know that you are not the one who likes to talk about right and wrong, but you also know the relationship between the Li family and our family, I am worried that the eldest lady of our family - my mother is the nurse of the eldest lady, if the eldest lady gets married, my mother will definitely accompany the eldest lady to Lin'an City, and I will also follow to serve. Because of this, the eldest young master arranged for me to be an apprentice in various shops. Even if it's for my own sake, I'll have to ask. Please also ask Brother Yu to tell me, I have thanked Brother Yu here first. After speaking, he got up and was about to salute Yu Yuan.
The commotion that Yu Tang made just now subsided, and Gu San took the initiative to ask about the Li family, Yu Yuan didn't want to make any more trouble, so he hurriedly sat him on the stool, and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu, don't be like this, let's just say something well." After speaking, he looked at the four as if he was afraid.
Of course, Gu San didn't want things to get bigger.
He took advantage of the situation to sit down again and arched his hand towards Yu Yuan: "Brother Yu! ”
Yu Yuan sighed, concealed the matter of Yutu, and whispered all the things that Mrs. Li did because she failed to marry Yu Tang, including Wei Xiaoshan, to Gu San's mother and son.
The more they listened, the more ugly their faces became, and when they heard that the Yu family had invited Pei Yan to be the middleman, the two of them gasped in unison, and Gu Xi's nurse exclaimed in a low voice: "So, Master Pei also knows about this?" ”
Looking at it like that, I have some scruples about Pei Yan's meaning.
Yu Yuan's heart moved, and he glanced at Yu Tang quickly, and said, "Got it!" Not only Master Pei San knows, but everyone in Lin'an City who has a little face also knows. ”
Gu Xi's face suddenly became ugly.
Yu Tang's eyes rolled, and he snorted coldly, "Now I know that we are not talking about it!" If you still don't believe it, you can ask Master Pei San. ”
Gu Xi's nurse didn't say anything.
Gu San's smile was a little reluctant, he got up and hugged his mother, and said, "Brother Yu, when I get to work, I will leave first, and I will invite you to tea when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Yu Yuan got up to send him off, and said pretendly: "Brother Gu, my sister is a straight temper, if there is anything offensive between the words, please don't take it to heart." ”
"How so!" Gu San said humbly.
The two exchanged pleasantries and dispersed.
Yu Yuan looked at the back of Gu San's mother and son, let out a long breath, and said to Yu Tang in a cheerful tone: "Ouch, I have really good luck today." Finally solved the matter. Otherwise, if you ask me to say bad things about the Li family in front of others, I really can't say anything. ”
Yu Tang smiled understandingly, and said: "If you want to talk about luck, it is also Brother A's luck, if it weren't for your pity on me and bringing me to eat noodles, how could we meet Gu San's mother and son?" How can you talk to their mother and son so smoothly? Thank you Brother for this incident! ”
Yu Yuan blushed, embarrassed to say this again, and changed the topic: "Then what will we do later?" Do you want to go back to Lin'an early? ”
They were scheduled to rest here for two days and two nights, and then go back tomorrow.
Yu Tang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go back early tomorrow morning!" The rest of the time is to walk around Hangzhou City and see how other people's shops are furnished? How do guys greet guests? What kind of business is best to do? There are also porcelain shops, pewter shops, and other things that sell with what patterns...... What do you think? ”
"Okay!" Yu Yuan smiled briskly, "Our most important things are done, and everything else is easy to say." ”
Yu Tang nodded.
The two siblings happily went shopping.
Gu San's mother and son whispered for a long time at the back of the Gu family's silk shop before parting, Gu San patted his cheek to make himself look less depressed before entering the shop, while Gu Xi's nurse went back to Gu Mansion with a calm face.
Before dawn the next day, someone came out of the back door of Gu's mansion and got on the boat to Lin'an City.
The Yu Tang brothers and sisters were also on this boat.
The two of them found a corner to sit down as they came, and whispered about their experiences in Hangzhou in the past two days, and Yu Tang also took the opportunity to encourage Yu Yuan to win the right to speak in the Yu family's lacquerware shop: "I don't want you to disobey your uncle, I think that if you don't stand or break, the shop at home is better than to die like this, it is better to die and live." If the eldest uncle is willing to hand over the shop to you, let the eldest uncle take care of our family's grange and mountains. If the eldest uncle insists on running his own shop, you might as well run the family's grange and mountains. When the Grange and the mountains and forests have income, the eldest uncle knows that you are capable, and what you say will naturally have weight in our family, and when you discuss with the eldest uncle how to run the shop, the eldest uncle will definitely consider your opinion carefully. ”
In this way, the eldest uncle and the eldest brother and son do not have to have contradictions, and they can also let the eldest uncle slowly hand over the shop.
Yu Yuan was thoughtful.
Yu Tang continued: "I was similar to what you thought before, the shop at home is still managed by the eldest uncle, and you come to Hangzhou City to do business. But in the past two days, after I followed you around Hangzhou City, I found that all the shops that can gain a foothold here, everyone has their own tricks, which is not something that money can solve. Doesn't the book say it? If you govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh? We can't be in a hurry, we have to figure it out slowly. ”
Yu Yuan said: "Is it like you?" ”
Yu Wen never asked Yu Tang when he did things in the past, but now he asks Yu Tang's opinion when he encounters something. If Yu Tang objected, he would probably give up. It's his father, if he hears that this is what Yu Tang means, he will think about it carefully.
