Text Chapter 31: Zhu's Inspection

When the second shopkeeper of Wanhuazhai Kang Niangzi walked into the exhibition hall, the scene was embarrassing, she smiled before she spoke, and before anyone came in, she had already played a haha, and said with a smile: "Wanhuazhai ushered in a distinguished guest today, it is really full of brilliance, I think it is Kang Hua's etiquette is not careful, neglecting the distinguished guest, forgiving the sin." ”

When Liu Niangzi saw that Kang Niangzi was coming, Fang let out a long breath and hurriedly greeted her.

The two female dependents on the same prefect's house, the beautiful woman's surname is Tao, and she is the concubine of Zhu Gui, the same governor of Lianzhou Mansion, and others call her Aunt Tao, and that girl is Aunt Tao's daughter Zhu Yuxin. Tongzhi Lord Zhu Gui is famous for favoring Aunt Tao, which is almost a well-known thing in Beikaicheng, and some people even speculate that in a few years, this Lord Zhu may be able to do the ridiculous thing of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife!

With Zhu Gui behind her, Aunt Tao has always been arrogant and domineering, and even with Zhu Yuxin, she has developed an arrogant and uplifting character, which is why there is this farce of Wanhuazhai.

At this time, Aunt Tao saw that Kang Niangzi was coming, so she stared at Li with hatred, and then said: "Kang Er's shopkeeper came just in time, I was just about to ask Kang Er's shopkeeper, this Wanhuazhai is the largest jewelry and silver building in Beikaicheng, and it can be regarded as a place where celebrities gather, but I don't want to today, Wanhuazhai is even a cat and a dog who don't know what it is. ”

Where could the Liuying who was following Yi'er hold back at this time, and said, "Who do you say is a cat and a dog?" It's really eye-catching, my wife ......."

Li glanced at the Liuying coldly, and said in a gloomy voice: "Presumptuous, what kind of place is this?" It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks? ”

Liuying's whole body trembled, she had followed Li for three years, not to mention Li's temperament, she also thought that she had a certain understanding, just now Li was clearly really angry, she was not stupid, and immediately understood that she had made a big mistake.

The larger the family, the more strict the rules of respect and inferiority, and without the permission of the master when talking to the master, the slave and maid are not allowed to intervene in vain. Liuying committed this article, although she was holding grievances for her master, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was the Li family's Qi family who was not strict, and the subordinates had no rules of respect and inferiority, which was a loss of the face of the Du family!

In fact, Liuying would not have been so impetuous and impetuous before, but she stayed by Yi'er's side, she was thinking about how to attract Li's attention, and she could return to Li's side to wait, so she didn't think about it at all, and opened her mouth to say the above words.

Kang Niangzi walked up with a smile and said to Aunt Tao: "Madame said that I am laughing, those who can enter the gate of my Wanhuazhai are all the guests of honor in my Wanhuazhai, where will there be any cats and dogs?" After speaking, he looked at Li again, bowed deeply, and said, "Wanhuazhai has bothered Mrs., and Kang Hua is here to make amends to Mrs. In order to express my Wanhuazhai's apologies to Madame, if Madame is still willing to ask for this face, we will give Mrs. a discount, as long as five hundred taels of silver, Wanhuazhai will immediately send the head to Madame's mansion. ”

"Why?" Zhu Yuxin said loudly, "At the beginning, we had to buy it, and you had a lot of eight hundred taels of silver, but now that we change them, you only need five hundred taels, isn't this an act of seeing people cooking and being abducted?" ”

Kang Niangzi was not annoyed, only said to Zhu Yuxin: "Miss Zhu, forgive me, we Wanhuazhai is doing business, this business is about harmony and wealth, if Miss Zhu is willing to appreciate Kang Hua's thin noodles, the head of the colorful flowers Kang Hua will be the master to give Miss Zhu, the right to Wanhua Zhai to apologize for the poor hospitality!" ”

Zhu Yuxin was stunned for a moment, the head of the set of colorful flowers was naturally not comparable to this set of Dongzhu head noodles, but she began to look for a price, and she also got a hundred taels of silver, this Kang Niangzi raised her hand and said that she wanted to give her, she was really a little tempted, but she felt that if she opened her mouth first, she would weaken her momentum in front of Yier and others, and she was a little hesitant for a while.

This Kang Niangzi is worthy of being the second shopkeeper of Wanhuazhai, sophisticated and exquisite, the key is that she is still willing, eight hundred taels of things can be reduced to five hundred taels in one bite, and this kind of courage is even rarer in women.

Li suddenly felt a little funny, she was a dignified prefect's wife, why bother with two concubines and concubines who couldn't be on the stage? I thought that it would be over, but I thought that Yi'er seemed to really like that face, so I looked at Yi'er in a blink of an eye.

Yi'er knew what Li meant, so she took her hand and said with a smile: "Mother, this face is good, but after a few more glances, I don't like it anymore, otherwise, my mother will work harder, accompany me to go shopping elsewhere!" ”

Li nodded and said, "Okay, good, this good thing, it also depends on the fate of people!" No matter how good things are, if they have been touched by something nasty, it will be dusty on the white wall, and it will no longer be the same, such a thing, we don't want it, so as not to look at it when we get it! ”

Aunt Tao was furious, pointed at the Li family, and said sharply, "What did you say?" ”

Li ignored her, pulled Yi'er and was about to walk out, but Aunt Tao was furious and said, "If you scold someone, you want to leave, where is it so easy?" If you don't make it clear to me today, you don't want to get out of here! I want to ask, which of you are from the house that dares to be so arrogant? ”

As soon as Aunt Tao finished speaking, she had already commanded several of her maids to step forward and block the way of Li and the others.

Li frowned, stared at Aunt Tao coldly, and said: "My master's surname is Du Mingziwu, and the word follows, if you really want to make a reason, you can ask your fellow acquaintance to go to my master and say!" ”

"The Du family?" Aunt Tao was a little puzzled on her face, "Which family is the Du family?" ”

When it came to Mrs. Kang, her face changed, she stepped forward a few steps, bowed slightly, and asked, "Dare to ask Madame, is the prefect of the mansion Du Da's family?" ”

Li Shi smiled coldly, and didn't answer Kang Niangzi's words, only glanced at Aunt Tao and Zhu Yuxin again, and pulled Yi'er out slowly.

As soon as the words "Lord Prefect" came out of Kang Niangzi's mouth, Aunt Tao and Zhu Yuxin both changed their faces together, and both of them watched Li and the others walk out of the exhibition hall with a little horror, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and in just a moment, it seemed that even their vests were wet with sweat.

Li took Yi'er out of Wanhuazhai and got into the carriage, and when he was about to leave, a young man who was not as weak as the crown stepped forward to plead guilty.

But it turned out that this young man's name was Zhu Youzhen, and he was the eldest son of Zhu Gui, the Tongzhi of Lianzhou Mansion, he was born with a handsome face, standing tall, to the point that he had the free and easy appearance of a handsome son, but his eyes were deeper, and he was obviously smiling on his face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, Yi'er didn't know what others felt, anyway, she felt that this person was afraid that the city government was very deep, and there was an unfathomable feeling, which made her naturally have a desire to avoid it.

Zhu Youzhen reported to the house, so he couldn't afford it, and said in his mouth: "The aunt and the little sister in the family are pulling out, I don't know the severity of the upper and lower levels, and they collided with Mrs. and Miss. ”

Li opened the corner of the car curtain and said lightly: "According to the words of the son, aren't our mother and daughter also ignorant women and children?" Since they are ignorant women and children, of course, I am afraid that there are not as many adults as the son said! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly: "Although Youzhen is lonely and unheard, but the most respected family in the world is Kong, Song, Li, and Wen. Lord Du is an official party, known as a clear name, this is the Jinkou annotation on the Jinluan Palace of the Holy Saint today, and Mrs. is from the Li family in Tingnan, the family style is like this, I want to come to and Lord Du and his wife have a deep relationship, and the husband sings with the wife, which makes Lord Du have no distractions and is praised by the saint! Mrs. has a family history, and she is a pillar of the Qingliu Mansion, how can ordinary ignorant women and children be compared? ”

Li stared at Zhu Youzhen for a few more moments, then put down the curtain and instructed the coachman to drive.

The carriage slowly walked away, and Zhu Youzhen retracted his gaze and sighed softly.

In the carriage, Li glanced at Yi'er thoughtfully, and said: "This Zhu Gongzi is a little interesting, I think people are also born well, they are dignified, and they are talented, just look at their appearance, I am afraid that they are eighteen or nineteen years old, and they are a little older!" ”

Yi'er is embarrassed, Li said it so explicitly, where can't she hear the extraneous voice? I couldn't help but be annoyed: "What is my mother talking about?" How old is the kite, I see that the mother is in a hurry, but I feel that the kite is noisy, and the mother is annoyed, so I want to send the kite out quickly? ”

Li took Yi'er into his arms and said with a smile: "My mother's good daughter is quiet and beautiful, where is the noise?" If you want me to say, my mother wants to keep you for the rest of your life! ”

"Then I won't marry for the rest of my life, and I'll accompany my mother!"

"Silly boy, how can there be anyone in this daughter's family who doesn't marry? Stop saying such stupid things. My mother knows that my kites are still young, but no matter how small they are, some things should be prepared. ”

"Mother..."

Li Shi smiled and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, besides, my good daughter's face is almost as good as the clouds in the sky, hehe... But ah, if you want me to say, my kite is born well, and her temperament is good, even if she is worthy of a prince and prince, it is more than enough, um, so, I listen to my daughter about this, don't worry, let's take a look and pick slowly! ”

Yi'er paused and said: "Mother, you have to praise it, praise it too much, Kite has to believe it, when the time comes, go out and make a joke, mother, you have to be responsible!" ”

The mother and daughter laughed in the carriage for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, and then went to visit other jewelry and silver houses on time was a little tight, but Yi'er did not buy a piece of jewelry, Li was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he led her to the Deshan Building, and after eating the signature secret pigeon of the German Dining House, the group turned back.
