Text Chapter 73: Eating is ugly
This is not clear enough.
Du Ziwu inquired carefully about Su Chou's resume and family affairs, and then learned that Su Chou was also released before, and he was unusually promoted to the rank of servant after returning to Beijing a year ago to report on his work. Of course, these are not the point, the point is that the wife surnamed Wei married by this person is the daughter of Wei Daohuai, the Marquis of Weiqin, and Du Ziqi, the Marquis of Qingxiang, that is, the Hou wife Wei who married Du Ziwu's fourth brother, are two sisters!
Geng Zhong reminded Du Ziwu to go back to his house to discuss with his brother, where is there anyone else in this so-called brother except Du Ziqi?
Du Ziwu was a little chilled, he didn't know if this matter had anything to do with Du Ziqi, but if there was no reason, why did Su Chou jump out and make it difficult for him?
After returning to Ripple Courtyard, Du Ziwu's mood was not good, where could Li and Yi'er not see it? Under inquiry, Du Ziwu also wanted to discuss with the Li family, so he told the cause and effect of the matter.
Li frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Master, in fact, there is nothing to think about in this matter, the master returned to Beijing and ascended, it is obvious that some people are not happy, some things are in line with the saying, it is harmless to people, and tigers hurt people's hearts!" ”
Du Ziwu sighed and said, "Otherwise, our family will go out of the mansion and rebuild a mansion, right?" ”
Li shook his head and said: "The old man is also confused, leaving the house alone means splitting the family, and now that the old lady is alive, how can this family be divided?" Moreover, even if we really choose to live alone, does the lord think that the matter will be solved? Don't forget, no matter what, you are surnamed Du, and you are the eldest son of the Du family! What kind of title is honorable for the prince of Nalaush, the lord is not uncommon, but people see it more important than life, even if the lord repeatedly retreats, I am afraid that people have no intention of stopping. ”
Du Ziwu was silent, he knew that what Li said was not unreasonable, he just couldn't understand it, obviously they were brothers who were close to each other, did they have to make a situation where they would never die?
Yi'er didn't speak, she couldn't intervene in this kind of thing, she saw that Du Ziwu and his wife were a little worried, so she led Du Yu out and played with this chubby little bun in the yard.
At noon, she had dinner with Du Ziwu and his wife in the Ripple Courtyard, and Yi'er went back to Qiuxia Pavilion, but she didn't think that it didn't take long for her to usher in an uninvited guest in Qiuxia Pavilion.
It was Du Jinyao who came, and it was a little strange that Du Jinyao would come to Qiuxia Pavilion Yi'er, but the thing that really surprised her was behind.
introduced people into the wing, the maids served the tea fruit, Du Jinyao and Yi'er chatted and gossiped, Yi'er of course didn't think that Du Jinyao came over to gossip with her, but since Du Jinyao was not in a hurry, she naturally had nothing to worry about.
After talking for a while, Du Jinyao looked around and sent all the girls in the house out, and then said to Yi'er mysteriously: "Sister, I heard a gossip in the morning, saying that there was something wrong with the uncle's appointment approval in the ministry, I don't know if the third sister has heard of it?" ”
Yi'er was stunned, she didn't know how Du Jinyao could tell her this, and said, "My father has never told me about things outside, but what the fourth sister said is serious?" What the hell is going on, is it serious? ”
Du Jinyao saw that Yi'er looked nervous, so she smiled a little proudly, and said: "If you want to say that it is serious, it is not a big deal, but after all, this is a matter related to the future of the uncle's career, and we can't be sloppy." I heard that it was Su Shilang from the Ministry of Officials who suppressed the uncle's appointment approval, and I want to ask the third sister, has the uncle offended Su Shilang in any way? ”
Yi'er said: "My father has been letting go of the foreign office before, and I shouldn't have even met this Su Shilang, it stands to reason that my father and him shouldn't have any entanglements, right?" ”
Du Jinyao clapped his hands and said, "Since this is the case, then this matter will be easy to do!" ”
Yi'er was puzzled.
Du Jinyao said: "The third sister doesn't know, then Su Shilang is married to the young lady of the Weiqin Marquis Mansion, that is, my aunt, in terms of seniority, I have to call him uncle." A few days ago, I also went to Su Mansion to play, at that time, my aunt revealed a news, she wanted to buy some property on Dongmen Street, but she never found a suitable land, I was thinking, if the eldest aunt or sister has a suitable one in her hand, as a personal favor, sold to her aunt, and there is an aunt in front of Su Shilang to say that the matter, then the uncle's matter is not easy to solve? ”
Yi'er was suddenly stunned, but it turned out to be like this!
Over on Dongmen Street? Isn't Tilanan Street over there, the three shops given by the Lin family are all on Tilan, and they all meet the conditions of Du Jinyao's mouth.
Yi'er suddenly felt a little ridiculous and funny, if Du Ziwu's appointment approval was really just for the three shops, I am afraid that this method was not from Du Ziyan's hand, it should just be that Wei said that Su Shilang's wife joined forces to make such a scene. As for the fourth uncle Du Ziqi, Yi'er doesn't know if he knows, but now that he is the Marquis of Qingxiang, if it is only for these three shops, I am afraid he will not disdain it.
It's just three shops, Yi'er didn't pay attention to it at all, if it was really needed, she wouldn't feel distressed at all, but Wei and Du Jinyao behaved like this, and they didn't hesitate to threaten Du Ziwu's career and future, but Yi'er would never compromise, she casually perfunctory Du Jinyao two sentences, blocked Du Jinyao's next full stomach words, and then found an excuse to send people out.
After Du Jinyao left, Yi'er thought carefully for a while, although the three shops were given to her by the Lin family three days ago, she didn't ask at all, this time she didn't know how to manage it, and secondly, she had just taken over, and the personnel process in the shop was not suitable for any major changes, she thought that it would take a while to go to the shop to see, familiarize herself, and then slowly take over the matters that should be taken over. But now that Wei and Du Jinyao are in such a trouble, she changed her mind after thinking about it.
At that time, Lin said simply, let Yi'er look at the processing, and said that if this shop can make money, it will be kept, and if it can't make money, it will be sold, and he also roughly estimated the price and said that these three shops are worth at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver. Lin said it lightly, and Yi'er didn't pay much attention to it, but now it seems that things are not so simple.
Of course, seven or eight thousand taels is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but Wei is the wife of the Marquis of Qingxiang, and Du Jinyao is the daughter of the Marquis of Qingxiang, with a noble status, and it is not that seven or eight thousand taels of silver are in front of them, so they are not moved, but Yi'er only got the shop three days ago, and they planned and implemented it well three days later, so impatient, and the food was ugly, if it was just seven or eight thousand taels, it would be a little too much.
The only explanation that Yi'er could think of was that the value of these three shops was not the seven or eight thousand taels that Lin said lightly.
She asked Yinggu to go out of the mansion to find Dong Qing and Zhuang Xiu, who were placed outside.
After these two people entered Beijing with Yi'er, because of their sensitive identities, Dong Qing's appearance was too eye-catching, Yi'er did not arrange the two of them into the Hou Mansion, but first found an inconspicuous inn to settle the two of them first, which was more in line with the two of them, they entered Beijing to find Dongshan Hou He Pingyao to take revenge, and when they entered the Hou Mansion, they had many scruples, but it was better to be convenient outside.
In the evening, Yi'er told Li that he wanted to go out of the house tomorrow to take a look at the shop on Tilan Street, and Lin gave Yi'er three shops naturally did not hide it from Li, so Li heard that Yi'er was going to learn to take care of the shop, and even if he agreed, he also nagged two sentences What Yi'er is not young, and he will have to get started with these things when he goes out of the cabinet in the future, and now learn a little in advance, so as not to be in a hurry in the future, which is a good thing.
Early in the morning of the second day, Yi'er went to Zirui Courtyard with the Li family to ask for peace, and then brought the four maids of the green hibiscus, blue buckwheat and silver lock silver lotus out of the weeping flower gate, because the Li family had already arranged, the people in the stable room had already prepared the carriage, and the driver was still in Beikaicheng, Hu San, and the Li family picked eight guards to follow, so he watched Yi'er get into the carriage with confidence and slowly drove out of the side gate of the Hou Mansion.
Zhuang Xiu had already waited halfway down the road, and after converging, he drove towards Tilan Street.
Yi'er doesn't know anything about the operation and management of the shop, Li is deliberately going to let her go by herself, so she didn't follow, Yi'er had to take Zhuang Xiu with her, although Zhuang Xiu had only opened a vegetable shop before, but the business should be the same, with Zhuang Xiu by her side, Yi'er has a lot of confidence.
There are three shops on Tilan Street, one is a silk village, one is a pharmacy, and one is a small restaurant, Yi'er is also a little strange, these three shops are completely three different businesses, and they have no connection with each other, how could Lin think of opening such three shops in the first place?
But in fact, it is also very easy to explain, the three shops are not far apart, and they are all on Tibasket Street, if they are all opened into silk villages, or all open into restaurants or something, then wouldn't they be doing business with themselves?
Yi'er first chose the silk village, the name of the silk village is Deyi, it is located at the corner of the basket street, the lot is the best of the three shops, the shop is not small, and there is also a private room on the second floor, which is dedicated to receiving the ladies and ladies of those large families.
When Yi'er and the others entered the door, the lady who knew the introduction hurriedly greeted her, blessed her, and said: "Slave Lu Yan, ask Miss An, I see that Miss is a little faceless, I don't know if it's the first time we come to get one?" ”
Yi'er nodded with a smile and said, "I want to see your shopkeeper, is it convenient?" ”
The lady was stunned for a moment, seeing that Yi'er was generous and extraordinary, and there were several maid mothers beside her, knowing which big family this must be Miss Daughter, how dare she trust Dana Qiao? Said: "Why don't Miss go upstairs to the private room to rest first, and the slave family will go and ask our shopkeeper." ”
