"It's okay, I know that the seventh sister has been inconvenient recently," Cen Erniang sat beside Gu Zheng generously, and looked her up and down unceremoniously: "Look at your ruddy face, with a smile in your eyes, and there is not the slightest worry between your eyebrows, I want to come to the seventh brother-in-law to treat you very well, and you have a good life in your mother-in-law's house." ”

As soon as Liang Jingxian was mentioned, Gu Zheng's eyes unconsciously 'revealed' a trace of sweetness, but he said implicitly humbly: "The second sister has won the award, what is good or not, and the life must not be bumpy and bumpy?" Saying that, he changed the topic a little embarrassedly: "What about the second sister?" How have you been in the capital all these years? ”

"It's not good," Cen Erniang didn't say some beautiful words to Gu Zheng, but opened the 'door' and talked to Gu Zheng about his heart: "Your second brother-in-law treats me well, but I don't get along well with a few concubines——— you also know that my 'sex' has never been pleasant, and I am not good at 'making friends' with people, and I will be unpopular after a long time." ”

Although Gu Zheng and Cen Erniang don't have a deep relationship, she has learned some of her situation in the capital from Cen Yuanniang's mouth one after another, and knows that Cen Erniang is indeed still high after marrying into Chen Ge's old family, and she doesn't like to be close to those eight-sided exquisite concubines, she only appreciates people who are more capable than herself, and she is as clear as ever in dealing with people.

But Cen Erniang is not living alone, she still has her in-laws and the old lady above, she and her concubine are not in harmony, and she has to suffer a little loss, and she is 'drugged' in front of her elders, and she disdains to use the same means to fight back, and her life is a little sad......

Fortunately, her husband and she are of the same heart, and every time she is wronged, she either seeks justice for her, or changes her ways to make up for her, plus she has both children and daughters under her knees, so although life is troublesome, it is bitter and happy, and it is not bad compared with other sisters.

Although Gu Zheng was very surprised that Cen Erniang would say these words to her that made her shameless, she didn't show any 'show' on her face, and took Cen Erniang's hand with a smile......

Gu Zheng couldn't say that Cen Erniang was a few concubines, so he could only euphemistically persuade Cen Erniang to relax: "In fact, the most important thing is the attitude of the second brother-in-law, as long as the second brother-in-law has the second sister in his heart, the husband and wife are harmonious, the children are sensible, and the family is happy, he can laugh at everything." ”

Cen Erniang knew that Gu Zheng was a good person, but now when she saw that she suddenly came to the 'door', and said so abruptly that Gu Zheng said these thoughtful words, Gu Zheng not only did not despise her and gloat because of this, but sincerely comforted her, which made her heart warm suddenly: "Seventh sister, don't you think I came a little abruptly?" ”

Gu Zheng knew that Cen Erniang could put down her face and come to her, she must have had an unacceptable difficulty, so she didn't ask more, but only smiled and joked with her: "What's so abrupt about my sister coming to visit my sister?" ”

Gu Zheng's empathy made Cen Erniang smile with excitement, and then let out a long sigh, and once again elaborated on her life in her husband's family: "Although I have always been pretentious, I disdain to lose everyone's beautiful demeanor because of some petty profits......

"It's just that they excluded and isolated me, but at the beginning, I was very stubborn and didn't know how to bow my head and submit to softness, and all the people in my husband's family have been offended in the past few years," Cen Erniang said and paused, and then poured out all the words hidden in her heart: "I won't tell you, even my mother-in-law doesn't like me now, saying that I 'spend' money lavishly, and I won't run the ......house for your brother-in-law."

It turned out that Cen Erniang had good things in her mother's house, whether it was pen, ink, paper, inkstone, rouge gouache, jewelry, and clothes for the four seasons, all of them were good to buy. It's just that the Chen family looks beautiful, but in fact, it has long been unable to make ends meet, and the family has long been tossed by several generations.

As a result, Cen Erniang had to secretly take money out to subsidize her own house, and she didn't know how to be 'fine' at the beginning, and after a long time, her dowry was 'spent' by more than half, and she gradually began to be troubled by money everywhere, and lost the scenery of her parents' house in the past, so that Cen Erniang's thoughts had to change little by little.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, now my dowry has been tossed by me to the point that there is not much left, and it is precisely because of this that I have the mind to take care of the dowry," Cen Erniang has been tempered by marriage, and she no longer regards money as dung, nor is she full of contempt for making money, this time she came to Gu Zheng to make money for the rest of the dowry: "Seventh sister, I won't talk politely to you, I know that you and Gu Feng want to charter a whole boat and buy some treasures to sell, and I also want to make some money to participate in a share!" ”

Although Cen Erniang made up her mind to let go of her pride and figure, she still felt a little uncomfortable after she opened her mouth to say her intentions, afraid that Gu Zheng would think that she had become a layman who only looked at money, so she subconsciously added in a whisper: "The reason why I want to make money with you is that I want to make more money, so that I can 'straight' my waist and speak in my husband's house in the future, and I don't have to count on Gongzhong if I want to do anything; ”

Gu Zheng and Cen Erniang didn't have any deep hatred, and she was also willing to recruit a helper for Gu Feng, so she was very happy to respond to Cen Erniang's request at the moment: "We are short of people to make up shares, the second sister mentioned it at the right time, it can be regarded as helping us...... I thanked my second sister for my brother! ”

Gu Zheng's cheerfulness surprised Cen Erniang very much, and also made her feel a trace of shame in her heart, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally raised her head to meet Gu Zheng's gaze: "I used to be sorry for you, I never gave you a good face, I knew that you were bullied and wronged, and I never said a fair word for you, nor did I help you anything......"

Cen Erniang had all the flavors for a while, and she didn't know how to express her inner emotions, but Gu Zheng was more free and easy than her: "Didn't the second sister never stumble on me?" Okay, what girl doesn't quarrel with her sisters before she leaves the cabinet? Looking back now, even those times when we quarreled with each other and made awkward noises were beautiful and unforgettable......"

Speaking of quarrels and awkwardness, Gu Zheng naturally remembered Cen Sanniang, who was once her sworn enemy, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh: "Sanniang was still a child who hadn't grown up back then, and I didn't like it anymore, I had to fight with others and rob with others in everything, and in a blink of an eye, she had become a mature and stable 'woman', and the previous young lady's temper was all accepted, and she could bear her temper when she was provoked by Siniang." ”

Cen Erniang also felt very emotional about Cen Sanniang's changes: "Yes, speaking of which, our sisters have changed the most in Sanniang, but her growth and sensibility have paid the price of a lifetime......"

…………

Let's not mention how Gu Zheng and Cen Erniang reminisced, but said that the Gu Zheng brothers and sisters quickly worked together to get enough capital, and Gu Feng quickly used the money to show his strength, first relying on the relationship accumulated in the past, he found a reliable person to charter a boat, and then with the help of Liang Jingxian, he bought a boatload full of goods.

Everything was ready, and after dredging and taking charge of several important members of the city's shipping department, Gu Feng officially set sail for the sea, planning to sell a shipload of goods unique to Dafeng and scarce in Nanyang overseas, and then buy some treasures from overseas after selling, and transport them back to Thorn Tong to sell...... In this way, the two ships of goods are sold at a low price and at a high price, and the ships are fully loaded back and forth, and they can make a very considerable profit with just one trip.

Not long after Gu Feng went to sea, Gu Zheng gave birth to a son smoothly, and the Liang family was so happy that they smiled.

Gu Zheng couldn't stay idle after he got out of the confinement, while personally taking his son, while estimating where Gu Feng should go now, her son's 100-day banquet had just been held, and she urged Liang Jingxian to find a way to sell her ship's treasure goods: "I estimate that my brother should come back soon, you have to help him find a buyer in advance, and it is best to find someone who can eat our entire shipload in one bite, so as to save trouble!" ”

Liang Jingxian thought for a while and proposed: "Why don't we keep some of the goods and open a shop to sell them?" ”

Liang Jingxian's proposal Gu Zheng pondered carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!" We can open a Western-style restaurant, sell the treasures that my brother bought back on the first floor, and 'make' it into a Western restaurant on the second floor......" Gu Zheng said and stopped suddenly: "I mean 'make' into a special 'door' to make a restaurant for Westerners to eat, there are many Westerners in the area of Thornton walking around to do business, this will definitely make money!" ”

Liang Jingxian frowned: "It's not easy to invite Western cooks." ”

"What's so hard about that? If you don't have it, I'll learn to do it! Gu Zheng still has two brushes for Western food, so after her mind turned quickly, she immediately said that she would do it, urging Liang Jingxian to find a suitable shop: "That's it, you hurry up and help me find a suitable shop, remember, you must find the kind that is divided into two layers!" ”

Liang Jingxian has always been very efficient, and soon found the shop that Gu Zheng wanted, helped Gu Zheng to 'get' all the matters of opening the Western Pavilion, and worked hard for the second "wave" to create people, and then reluctantly left home and returned to the barracks——— now Liang Jingxian has 'mixed' to 100 households, although it is difficult to cross from 100 households to 1,000 households, but he wants to continue to rely on his own ability to try it.

After Liang Jingxian left, Gu Feng soon returned as scheduled, with a boatload of treasures, which were very popular in Dafeng, and someone offered to buy them when Gu Feng came back. According to Gu Zheng's meaning, Gu Feng first picked some strange and interesting ones to sell in her own Western Pavilion, and then sold the rest to others, so that the people who had invested in the shares made a lot of money, and Cen Erniang was even more 'excited' about Gu Zheng after receiving the profits.

Gu Zheng's Western Pavilion also opened as scheduled, while Gu Zheng was busy training Xiao Er, he didn't forget to stare at Gu Feng's marriage to his daughter-in-law', and when he had nothing to do, he took the county lord of Mingyue to the Western Pavilion to tease his son, creating all kinds of opportunities for the county lord of Mingyue to block Gu Feng, so that Gu Feng could no longer avoid the county lord of Mingyue.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Gu Zheng's son Brother Min would be one year old, and the Liang Mansion was doing a lot of '' for this only eldest grandson, and Mrs. Cen of the Cen family was also very happy, and personally sent a message to ask Gu Zheng to wait for Brother Min to finish catching Zhou, and then take him back to Cen's house to have a good time.

Mrs. Cen wanted her grandson, but the Liang family couldn't stop her, so as soon as she finished the first birthday banquet, Gu Zheng took Brother Min, surrounded by a group of maids and guards, and slowly went to Tongzhou in a carriage......
