Chapter 121: Going Out
It wasn't Gao Sheng's turn to put his beak in this matter, he nodded silently and asked Gu Chang: "What about the Li family?" ”
Gu Chang said coldly: "We have done so much, if the Li family doesn't know, wouldn't it be a night trip in brocade?" ”
Gao Sheng promised, and after serving Gu Chang to rest, he went to inquire about Pei Yan.
By the time Li Duan found out that Li Yi's greed for ink was a rumor from the Peng family, and that Li Yi was about to be transferred to Yungui to serve as Gu Chang's handiwork, it was already past the Dragon Boat Festival.
He looked at the dusty roof painted with blue-green vine leaves, and the strength of his whole body seemed to have been drained, and his little fingers couldn't move.
Peng Shiyi felt that he was not obedient enough, and wanted to deter him, so it was rumored that Li Jun came back to transport his father's greedy silver; And Gu Xi wanted to withdraw from her family, but she didn't want others to think that it was her fault, and she wanted the Li family to take the initiative to withdraw from her family, so Gu Chang made a move and threatened that if their family didn't quit, he would let his father go to Yungui.
Lin Jue was like a trapped beast spinning around in the house: "We are now suffering from the enemy!" Duan, you can't be careless! Peng Shiyi said well, didn't he just want us to bow our heads? Let's bow our heads! He said he would be as good as he wanted. The top priority is not to let him find out that the Gu family is also dealing with us, otherwise we will really become meat and will be slaughtered by the Peng family at will.
"As for the Gu family, it's really not good, so it's better to quit your family.
"My aunt found a way to catch up with the Gu family before, and I didn't think it was appropriate. Qi Da is not a coincidence! And the second room of the Gu family is very poor. I inquired clearly, when the old lady of the Gu family split up, the second room of the Gu family was divided into less than 20,000 taels of silver, but the second master still doesn't know how to do housework, how many dowries can Miss Gu have!
"Besides, the young lady of the Gu family, if you think about it, she has been sluggish since she was a child, and she can make her stepmother jealous, so it can be seen that she is not a good match! The Gu family said that it is to be able to get some light from reading. But there are three of the four surnames in the south of the Yangtze River in Hangzhou, without their Gu family, as well as the Shen family, the Lu family, and the Qian family. In case it doesn't work, there will be the next little Zhang family and Yang family! ”
Speaking of this, he sat on the Zen chair next to Li Duan, crossed his legs and continued: "If it were me, I would find someone similar to my own, either the woman's brother can study, or he has a lot of money to marry." In the end, this day is still lived by yourself, find a wife to press on your head all day long, what is the meaning of this person's life. ”
Li Duan smiled bitterly.
He didn't want to do that.
But he didn't do it, and when he joined the ranks, with the Li family's background, he couldn't help him at all.
Like his father, is the best example.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family didn't have any background except money, wouldn't his father still be able to advance an inch in the official rank of the fourth rank at this age?
It's just that it's not good to say this in front of Lin Jue.
He rubbed his sideburns with a headache and said, "The marriage of the Gu family, if you can not retreat, it is better to find a way not to retreat." I heard from people in the martial arts family that Gu Chang's mentor Sun Gao may be transferred to the Ministry of Officials. ”
The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, rewards and punishments of court officials.
Lin Jue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Really? ”
"Really!" Li Duan said a little tiredly, "There are children of the martial arts family who are in the same department as me, and I specially sent someone to say it two days ago." ”
Lin Jue lowered his eyes and did not speak.
They all knew in their hearts that the son of the Wu family came to spread the word because he didn't know that the Gu family was going to quit his relatives and wanted to curry favor in front of Li Duan.
If the news of the two families quitting their relatives spreads, Li Duan will be laughed at, and the Li family will be abandoned.
After a while, he said gloomily: "Then what are your plans?" ”
Li Duan said: "Mother doesn't know about this matter yet, you help me take care of my mother first, and I plan to go to Hangzhou in the next two days to meet Miss Gu!" ”
The bell also needs to be tied to the bell.
He wanted to find out why Miss Gu insisted on withdrawing from her family.
Could it be that the affairs of the Yu family are really so important? What's more, he did it for a reason.
Lin Jue laughed and said, "You still read a lot of books and have brains." Sister loves to be pretty, instead of going to Gu Chang, it is really better to go to Miss Gu. ”
After all, Li Duan looks like a talent, which sister doesn't like to be pretty. The matter of retiring from her family was originally led by Gu Xi, if Gu Xi changed her mind and still wanted to marry Li Duan, I believe that the Gu family would not be able to stop her.
Li Duan frowned when he saw Lin Jue speaking vulgarly.
Lin Jue thought that Li Duan was worried about going to the Gu family, and said with a smile: "I think you are doing this very right." If you want to go, hurry up. I don't think there is any need to choose any auspicious days for the zodiac, you will leave for Gu's Mansion tomorrow and find a way to meet Miss Gu. When you have Miss Gu in your hands, what else can the people who take care of the Gu family say! ”
The idea, while obscene, is highly feasible.
Li Duan secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to meet Gu Xi, but he said, "I have my own opinions." ”
Lin Jue was afraid that his stubborn temperament would come up again, so he persuaded him: "Han Xin was able to endure the hardships of his crotch back then and achieve a great cause. You should follow his example! ”
It depends on what you learn!
Li Duan slandered in his heart, feeling that Lin Jue was dog meat and couldn't get on the table.
He set a date to go to Hangzhou, and Yu Tang and Yu Yuan finally found an opportunity and took Xiang's to Suzhou.
Xiang has never traveled so far in his life.
She felt that she could go from Fuyang to Lin'an, and she was already a lucky woman who had seen the world, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to go to Suzhou.
Sitting in a rented canopy boat, she was still like a dream.
She opened a packet of silk candy, stuffed one for Yu Tang, and whispered, "You taste it." When I got married, my father brought it back from the capital. ”
The small canopy boat was divided into two with a blue coarse cloth curtain, and on one side sat Yu Yuan, Xia Pinggui, Miki and the two shop mates, and on the other side sat Yu Tang, Xiang's, Shuangtao and Xiang's maid Xia Lian.
The Yu family's shop wanted some paint, and Yu Yuan suggested bringing Yu Tang and Xiang's over to let them also get in touch with the family's business.
Yu Bo didn't agree, he felt that the woman was in the way, but Yu Tang said that Yu Wen was moved, and Yu Wen came forward to persuade Yu Bo, and Yu Tang and Xiang had this trip to Suzhou.
Yu Tang excitedly didn't sleep well for the past two days, got on the boat, and walked for less than half an hour, after the initial freshness passed, she began to doze off.
Yu Tang yawned and put the sugar in his mouth, feeling that he was not sleepy at all, but wanted to sleep more and more, he couldn't help but lean on Xiang's shoulder, his eyelids were closed together like a thousand gold, and his mouth was vague: "Sister-in-law, I'll squint for a while." ”
Xiang Ji watched her snuggle up to his shoulder like a child, and couldn't help but smile.
She didn't sleep well yesterday, for fear that going would cause trouble to Yu Yuan, and for fear that she would not take good care of Yu Tang and make Yu Tang dissatisfied-although she had not married into the Yu family for three months, she could see it clearly, this sister-in-law of her uncle's family, not only held her in the palm of her hand in the second room of the Yu family, but also her father-in-law and father-in-law loved her very much. She didn't want to offend Yu Tang in trivial matters, which affected her relationship with her in-laws and father-in-law. Besides, Yutang is a good person, and Xianggong is even more fond of her, and he has to take her with him wherever he goes, which makes Xiang, who has been very envious of his stepmother since he was a child, make up his mind to capture her husband's heart no matter what, and live a good life with her husband like now.
She was even more tolerant of Yu Tang.
Just seeing Yu Tang fall asleep, she couldn't help but want to sleep.
"Xia Lian." Xiangshi whispered to his maid, "I'll squint for a while, if there's any movement over there from the eldest young master, you remember to wake me up." “
Xia Lian grew up with Xiang's since she was a child, and she knows Xiang's thoughts best. In the past, she was worried that the Xiang family would marry into a rich family as the main house, and she was accepted as a concubine. Now that the Xiang family is married to the Yu family, she is happier than anyone else - a family like the Yu family will not raise a concubine to eat idle meals, and usually the accompanying maid next to the wife is either to keep the sensitive guy in the shop to marry, or to marry the shopkeeper in the shop. Whether it is the former or the latter, she feels that if she has that day, she will really raise her eyebrows and be a person in vain.
Xiang wants to keep Yu Yuan's heart, and she is more attentive than anyone else.
She nodded immediately, not only carefully took a pillow and put it on her shoulder for Xiang's to lean, but also took the bedbook and handed it to Shuangtao, signaling Shuangtao to help Xiang's and Yutang put it on her body.
Shuangtao suddenly felt that her maid over the years had been done in vain.
She has never taken such care of Yu Tang so carefully and proactively.
Usually she does whatever Yu Tang or Chen tells her, and occasionally hides in the kitchen to be lazy.
There is no difference if there is no comparison, and Miss will not think she is useless in the future, right?
Shuangtao carefully covered the thin quilt for Yu Tang and Xiang's family, but she was a little uneasy in her heart.
There is a direct waterway from Hangzhou city to Suzhou, which is very convenient, and it goes downstream, but it can be reached in seven or eight hours. So many people will take a night boat, board the boat in the evening, sleep for the night, and arrive the next morning. After finishing my errands in Suzhou City, I just took the evening boat back to Hangzhou. No delay also saved money for one night's accommodation.
Yu Tang and they were no exception, they first took a boat to Hangzhou, and then transferred from Hangzhou to Suzhou, and arrived in Suzhou overnight.
However, they will stay in Suzhou for two nights and then go back.
According to Yu Yuan's words, I have to take a look at the lacquerware shop here in Suzhou.
Su Xiang'er, Su Xiang'er, even those nobles in the palace, will also find a way to get some Suzhou goods to use. This may be the reason why Hangzhou is closer to Ningbo, but there are more people in Suzhou who do maritime business.
After a day and a night on the boat, Yu Tang and Xiang's were like blanched beans, wilting.
Yu Yuan, the elder brother who had a daughter-in-law and forgot his sister, took the lead in helping Xiang's family, looked at Xiang's spiritless face, and said with concern: "You're okay!" I'll hire a sedan chair, you and Ah Mei will go to the inn to rest first, and I'll accompany you out to shop when I buy things from Pinggui. ”
Xiang had no choice but to take this humble husband, he was afraid that he would hurt his husband's heart by throwing his hand, and he was afraid that he would continue to be so tired of being by her husband's side and make her sister-in-law feel uncomfortable, so she had to look at Yu Yuan and said, "I'm not tired." You go and help Ah Mei. I'm okay! ”
Yu Yuan thought of Yu Tang at this time, and said "oh" disappreciatively, but did not let go of Xiang's family, but tilted his head to look at Yu Tang who was walking behind Xiang's family, and said, "You're okay!" Do you want me to hold you on? ”
