Chapter 19: Rushing back to the eldest sister
On the carriage back, Du Huo glanced at Xiao Rongyue from time to time, trying to see some clues from her face, but all he saw was Xiao Rongyue's calm appearance, neither looking at him nor speaking.
"What did Master Fangcai tell you?" Du Huo finally asked her.
Xiao Rongyue looked back at him: "I asked about the second uncle and the third uncle's two rooms, and they said that they are both in-laws, and they should be helped, but they are just ......."
Du Huo frowned: "Just what?" ”
He didn't understand how he could bring in the second and third rooms, he was obviously talking about helping the Du family, and he married Xiao Rongyue, so he was naturally the master of the long room.
Xiao Rongyue shook her head: "I don't know, I'll go talk to Ah Jia later." ”
Du Huo had no choice but to give up, he was a gentleman, and he shouldn't have asked about these things in the first place.
But as soon as I arrived at Chunhua Garden, I saw Du Lan sitting in the hall, comforting Pei Shi, who was wearing a forehead and crooked on the table, and when he saw the two of them coming in, Du Lan's face was long: "When is this, you just don't remember the time, you should also remember that A-Niang is still sick!" ”
Du Huo frowned, strode forward and crossed his hand to Pei's family: "A-Niang, I'm back." ”
asked Bai Zhi, who was waiting behind Pei's back, again: "Have you invited Lang Zhong to come and see it?" ”
Du Lan grabbed the conversation: "I have invited Lang Zhong to see it yesterday, I never thought that Ah Niang's head hurts even more today, I just asked Lang Zhong to invite again, Ah Niang only said that it is not good, today is the day of Xiao's return to Ning, if you teach people to know what to say, it is not good for San Lang." ”
She sneered coldly: "I don't know what kind of sin I have done, I have been so angry that my mother-in-law has fallen ill after three days of marrying a bride, and I have invited Langzhong several times but it has not been good." ”
Her gaze fell sharply on Xiao Rongyue, waiting to see if she was angry or ashamed.
It's a pity that Xiao Rongyue didn't even look at her, and went to Pei's side with a smile: "Ah Jia, when I went back today, my grandfather asked me to bring a message, saying that a few new shops have been opened, and there are not enough capable people in the shop, and I want to ask our house to help with the lining, and the two families will share the benefits of the shop in the future......"
Before she finished speaking, Pei Shi was already overjoyed, and he didn't care that he still had a headache, so he took her hand: "Is this true?" ”
Today's Du family is really barely able to support their face, if it weren't for the fact that they relied on eating the clan fields in the clan and pawning and selling several Zhuangzi, they would have been unable to open the pot, the Xiao family's words were simply a life-saving straw, how could she, the housewife who took care of the middle feed, not be happy.
Xiao Rongyue looked at Pei's gaffe and pulled herself, pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Fang Cai Sanlang also went to see Grandpa, and if Grandpa ordered me to bring it back, he also said, ......"
Pei Shi hurriedly asked: "What else do you say?" ”
Hearing the news, her head no longer hurts, her eyes are no longer dazzled, and she is not interested in listening to her daughter Duran anymore, and she wants to ask about this matter clearly.
Xiao Rongyue glanced at Du Lan, who was sitting next to him with an embarrassed and annoyed face, and said in a low voice: "Sister is still here, let's talk about it later." ”
It is a matter of the Xiao family and the Du family, and it involves interests, it is really not good to let a married daughter like Du Lan listen here, Pei Shi has not yet spoken, Du Huo said with a deep expression: "It's not too early, Sister Ah has been back for a long time, let's go back first, and I will invite you to come back and talk another day." ”
Duran stared at his brother with wide eyes, he couldn't believe his ears, he actually drove himself back?! She is the daughter of the Du family, his own sister, everything is bothered by the Du family, if it weren't for the Pei family to send a message to the Jiang family today, she was worried that the Pei family would be angry, how could Baba leave the Jiang family and rush back, and now she actually drove her back!
Is this disgusting for her?!
She was almost so angry that she turned her back on her, gritted her teeth and looked at Pei's family: "A-Niang, look at San Lang ...... him"
Pei's people invited her over, and they would always speak for her, it must be that Xiao Shi didn't know what method he used to trick San Lang into opening her mouth and letting her go back!
But Pei's heart is now like a pot of boiling oil, and he is anxious to know what the Xiao family said, how to get the money in those shops, and he can't care about his daughter's grievances.
She said to Du Lan in embarrassment: "Otherwise, Alan should go back first today, it's not too early, your Ah family is not a trouble-free person, I can't say what to say, you go back first, the day after tomorrow, no, I will let someone deliver a message to Jiang's house to you tomorrow." ”
Du Lan's face turned pale, looking at his mother and younger brother, and Xiao Rongyue, who was smiling and ignoring her, he got up angrily and called the maidservant: "Go, go back to Jiang's house!" ”
She was actually forced back to the Jiang family by Xiao Rongyue like this, and even Xiao Rongyue didn't even look at her directly, she was defeated!
Watching Du Lan leave, Pei Shi was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he asked Xiao Rongyue more anxiously: "What did your grandfather say?" ”
Xiao Rongyue said unhurriedly: "Grandpa said that now there is a new silk village, a porcelain shop, and a strange goods shop, all of which are still short of people, and I want to ask our house to help more." ”
A new shop? Pei Shi was a little unhappy: "How is it not already in business?" ”
The Xiao family has so many shops, and those businesses that operate for some time are prosperous, so the Du family can get a lot of shares.
Xiao Rongyue smiled: "This is also for San Lang's plan, these shops are all opened in Chang'an, and when San Lang goes to Chang'an in the future, he can also have a livelihood there." ”
Open in Chang'an? Pei's eyes lit up, and he calculated in his heart, Chang'an is not as small as Jiangning Mansion, which is the capital of every inch of land, and it costs nearly 100 gold to open a shop, and the profit is naturally far higher than that of Jiangning.
What's more, Du Huo is going to Chang'an in the future, and those shops are not going to fall into their hands in the end!
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and nodded again and again: "That's the best." ”
"It's just ......" Xiao Rongyue smiled a little slyly, "Grandpa asked if there is still a lack of a steward in this shop, I don't know which of the three rooms in the house is the person to go?" ”
Pei Shi glared at her: "What kind of people in which room?" Naturally, they are all people in the long house! ”
What's the matter with the other two rooms? Didn't Du Huo marry Shaw?
Xiao Rongyue looked a little embarrassed: "But Grandpa said that he also had a friendship with the second uncle, and he also brought a message to the second uncle, so he ......"
As soon as she finished speaking, a servant girl came in outside to say, "The second lady and the third lady are here." ”
Before He Shi entered the door, the enthusiastic voice had already come in: "San Lang and San Lang's daughter-in-law are back, I came to see you with your third aunt." ”
It seems that he got the news, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, so he went directly to Chunhuayuan.
Pei's originally happy heart was half cold, and he glared at Xiao Rongyue angrily, stupid, how could such a thing let the second and third rooms get involved, wouldn't it be in vain to send the money to others!
