Chapter Forty-Eight: Du Zhai
After resting at the farmer's house for one night, Zhangzhu took good care of the old woman, and before leaving, he gave a bottle of medicine and a pair of prescriptions. The family was grateful to Dade for the palm beads.
After breakfast, I continued on my way, and I will definitely be able to enter the city today. Gu Tong and Mao Zi in front were still discussing how to settle down after entering the city, and what to do in the future.
Mao Zi always felt that Gu Tong had been reading for a few days and that he and Song Jinfei were different, so he also gave Gu Tong some suggestions: "Second brother, you might as well find a reliable shop to make accounts for others." This kind of work is easy and decent, why follow us to fight and kill, wait for a year and a half and then marry a wife, and we will live together. ”
Gu Tong said disapprerovingly: "What kind of account office, I can't even make an abacus, isn't this a matter of ruining the master's family." ”
"If you don't have a bookkeeper, you can help people do some copying. Anyway, your Gu Xiucai's handwriting is really good. ”
Gu Tong was silent with a smile, and Song Jinfei in the back spoke: "How much money can you earn a month by copying and writing letters to someone?" If you want to rely on this to marry a wife, I'm afraid that I won't have any hope for the rest of my life. ”
Mao Zi insisted: "But it's better than licking blood at the tip of the knife, Xiucai is different from us, why bother to follow us?" ”
Gu Tong hurriedly said: "Okay, Maozi, you don't have to say a word." Boss, I don't have any other thoughts, I think you are the boss, you are the boss of my life, and I have made up my mind to follow you for the rest of my life. We two brothers still have to rely on you to take care of them. ”
Song Jinfei said: "Go to the city, send Miss Fu to the Du family and then make the following arrangements." ”
I didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the three people.
In the afternoon, the car entered Shoufeng City. Bao Yan showed the way throughout the process.
All three brothers craned their necks to explore the city. Mao Zi couldn't help but sigh: "Fuck it, it's really a good place!" In such a big place, you don't have to worry about finding food to eat! ”
Even Gu Tong said: "I can't make a name for myself in Puding for a lifetime, and I should have come to Fucheng a long time ago." ”
Zhangzhu also watched the situation in Shoufeng City attentively, but saw that there were many shops, and there were not a few pawn traders on the street. The shouts with a strong country accent came and went. It is indeed a thriving appearance, but for Zhangzhu, she has seen a lot of prosperity in the capital for more than ten years, so she doesn't feel how lively.
Under the command of Bao Yan, the car crossed the Yudai Bridge and crossed the willow bank. This season, the wicker has not yet drawn new shoots, and the bare branches are still a little sluggish.
Finally, the car entered Meihua Lane, walked not far, and stopped under the command of Bao Yan. She jumped out of the carriage first.
Palm beads raised their eyes to see, the door plaque that read "Du Mansion" was hanging high, the door was not opened, only two servants stood there on the side door. A servant dressed in a brown blue caftan greeted him when he saw someone coming.
Bao Yan couldn't wait to step forward and said with a smile: "Uncle De, you still know me, right?" ”
"Where did you come from, I don't recognize."
Na Baoyan continued to smile and said: "You are really a noble person, I am the daughter of the old lady's Shen Pozi." ”
"Are you a little goose? How long has it been since I saw how I grew so tall? By the way, didn't you go to Yangxian County, why did you sneak back? ”
Bao Yan hurriedly said, "Where did I run back, I will accompany our girl back to Du's house!" ”
Zhangzhu lifted the curtain, and Uncle De saw Fu Zhangzhu sitting in the car, his face was slightly surprised, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Zhangzhu: "It's really Miss Fu who is back." ”
Zhangzhu nodded slightly, Song Jinfei hurriedly put a stool for Zhangzhu, Baoyan helped her, and Zhangzhu went down to the ground steadily.
Uncle De hurriedly said again: "Why don't you report a letter in advance, so that you can go out of the city to meet Miss Fu?" ”
Zhangzhu said lightly: "I decided to come to the Du family temporarily. ”
At the moment, there were already small servants who were busy running to report to Mrs. Du.
Bao Yan entered through the side door with the palm bead in his arms. Uncle De inquired about the origin of Song Jinfei and the others, and then he was busy beckoning Song Jinfei and them to go to the group room to drink tea.
Song Jinfei looked at Du Zhai. Judging from the gate, it is already extraordinary, and it is not comparable to the Yin family and the Fu family. He naturally also knew that the group room was a place where the subordinates lived, and they were just escorting Zhangzhu back to Shoufeng, and they didn't dare to regard themselves as guests of the Du family. That Miss Fu is the guest of the Du family.
Grandma Meng was already waiting on the weeping flower door after getting the news, and when the palm bead appeared, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Sister Fu, I've grown so big for many years." Grandma Meng quietly looked at the palm beads from top to toe, and saw that the palm beads were still braided, and she did not comb her hair into a woman's style, so she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart. But Grandma Meng still took her arm very attentively to guide the palm beads.
"On the first day of the new year, the old lady also said that she would send someone to Puding to deliver things to her sister, why did my sister arrive home today, if you say it in advance, you can be prepared." Grandma Meng said very enthusiastically. Then she said, "Why didn't you see my brother-in-law and sister come back together?" ”
Bao Yan opened his mouth, and secretly said that the Du family still doesn't know about the Yin family? By the way, after the matter came out, the Fu family didn't seem to send someone to the Du family to explain the situation. The Fu and Du families gradually drifted apart. Bao Yan was about to explain the situation for Zhangzhu, but he heard Zhangzhu himself say: "I will explain the specific reason to you." ”
Grandma Meng is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and she is in her prime. Today, she wore a pink sprinkler jacket with silver thread, a stone blue brocade skirt, combed a bun, and wore a distraction with embedded rubies. Fat is bright, bright and charming.
Before entering Mrs. Du's courtyard, Grandma Meng had already revealed the news to Zhangzhu: "In the old years, the old man has not been very good, and the doctor who made a lot of trouble has already asked her to prepare for the future, but she has survived again, but there is no profit now." ”
Zhangzhu nodded, this sister-in-law wanted to tell her not to talk nonsense in front of her grandmother after seeing her, which would make the old man sick again.
Grandma Meng gently patted the back of Zhangzhu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, come to Grandma's house and have fun for a few days, it's the same here as the Fu family." ”
Zhangzhu's lips pursed slightly, and he didn't say anything.
Soon, I had already arrived at the Qingyin Pavilion where Mrs. Du lived.
Mrs. Du's companion mother has already come out, and there are two second-class maids behind her, both representing Mrs. Du's face.
"Aunt Fu and Grandma Fu are back, please come in. The old lady is glad to know that you are back. ”
What a strange name! Bao Yan was shocked when she heard it. The palm beads still look calm and waveless, still so calm and calm.
Surrounded by everyone, Zhangzhu entered the front room of the Qingyin Pavilion.
