Chapter 438: Old Lady Du
Du Jinning nodded, and didn't hide it from them, so he told the grievances of the Du family's ancestors.
She said: "I also went home this time, and my uncle and grandfather mentioned the ancestral house, and I knew that it was theirs." There is this relationship, and my uncle and grandfather are bent on overpowering their family, so I naturally don't like to admit it, and after being ruthlessly said by others, I changed the plaque in a gloomy way. Who is nobler than whom? Just hang it up. When it comes to the outside, it would be good to make it clear whether it is the Du family at the end of the alley or the Du family in the alley. ”
Qi Muyuan looked at her: "What are your plans for their family?" ”
"I didn't want to pay attention to them. After all, it was a grievance three generations ago, and it was not a big deal to seek money and kill people, it was nothing more than a fight between the two houses, and our house was lost. To say something disrespectful to my ancestors, my great-grandfather was not very competitive back then, firstly, he was not firm in his will and was seduced by others, and secondly, he was angry and ran away from home in anger. Since the two or three generations have not returned, I will not go to his house to ask for justice. Everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, just get along with strangers. ”
Du Jinning sighed: "Helplessly, Du Zheyan can't deal with me." I don't mess with them, but I guess he'll come and mess with me. Look, after entering the school, he and Qi Siyu will definitely embarrass us. Because of your power, you may not dare to do anything in person, but the small actions behind it are definitely indispensable. ”
"What are you afraid of, he dares to stretch out his hand and just beat him back." Liang Xian Kuandao.
Qi Muyuan nodded in agreement.
"A few young masters, the meal has been placed in the side hall, please move over to eat." Yao Shuqi came over and please.
A few people went to the side hall.
Now the kitchen of the Du family's new house is managed by Aunt Zhu, and the dishes are quite handy.
After eating, the three of them set a time to go to Fuxue to report in a few days, and Liang Xiankuan left first.
Qi Muyuan said: "The shop of the restaurant has been bought, do you want to take a look?" Cook, when do you plan to train? ”
"When else can it be? I'm free for a few days. Du Jinning asked again, "Where is the cook?" ”
"My home."
"Then I'll go to your house after I've rested. I write you the ingredients, you have them bought them, and I teach them how to cook. The money for the ingredients is included in the cost. Du Jinning thought for a while and asked Qi Muyuan, "Do you have any extra shopkeepers and account rooms at home?" ”
Qi Muyuan glanced at her: "Don't be lazy. The shopkeeper and the account room, there is only one in my house, and you can smash the other one yourself. ”
"Hey, hey." Du Jinning laughed twice.
She knows Qi Muyuan's personality too well, and she is not a trickster for money. She is not afraid that Qi Muyuan will be greedy for her money, which is different from when she partnered with Guan Jiaze, and she wanted to hold the power in her hands. After all, the situation of the Guan family is complicated, and some words are that Guan Jiaze can't be the master. Zhuang Yue's previous exclusion is a good proof of this.
The Qi family is different from the Guan family. She didn't have a suitable shopkeeper under her, so she wanted Qi Muyuan to come out together.
Who knew it wouldn't work.
"Oh, I remember, my uncle and grandfather seem to have mentioned that the Du family runs a restaurant, and there seems to be more than one. I don't know if his family still runs a restaurant after so many years. If you still do this business, then there will be a lot of excitement to watch, our dead opponent is properly gone, haha. ”
Qi Muyuan was speechless: "What kind of expression do you have?" Are you happy to have a dead opponent? ”
Du Jinning sighed deeply: "Alas, you don't know how lonely it is to be invincible. ”
Qi Muyuan rolled his eyes, and he was powerless to complain about Du Jinning's stinky and shameless appearance.
After Qi Muyuan left, Du Jinning called Zhuang Yue over and asked him, "I want to open a restaurant, what do you think of letting your son be the shopkeeper?" ”
Zhuang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, young master." ”
He is Chinese New Year's Eve nine today, and his eldest son Zhuang Zhengping is also twenty years old, and he has been working in the silk shop in the Guan family. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, Du Jinning entrusted him with an important task.
This made Zhuang Yue feel that his decision could not be more correct.
Du Jinning looked at Yao Shuqi, and then at Zhuang Yue: "One of you will be my big housekeeper, and the other will be my big shopkeeper, and the two stalls at home and outside will be handed over to you." As long as you follow me, I will not treat you badly. ”
"Thank you, young master." Yao Shuqi also quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Du Jinning called them up, and said to Yao Shuqi: "Wang Fulai's family's deed of sale, you asked them to sign it." "This matter was agreed to by Wang Fu when she came from Lishui County. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Wang Fulai's family follow Shangfu City.
"Yes, young master."
Du Jinning said to Zhuang Yue again: "You will take your son to Qi Mansion to find Uncle Zhong in the afternoon to see where the restaurant is, how it needs to be arranged, and what to add, all of which will be left to you." ”
"Okay, young master."
Du Jinning thought about it again: "The accounts of the family will be handed over to the four girls; The accounts outside were handed over to the three girls. ”
Yao Shuqi hesitated, but did not speak.
"If Steward Yao has anything to say, just say it, our master and servant, make a mess of it."
"Yes." Only then did Yao Shuqi express his concerns, "If the third girl marries outside in the future, there is nothing wrong with managing the accounts of the family's business, and it is okay to hand over the accounts when she gets married." But now ......"
He looked at Du Jinning and didn't continue. He knew that Du Jinning could understand what he meant.
Du Jinning shook his head and said, "That's wrong, the third girl is also going to marry outside." At that time, she will marry into Lu Xiaobei's family, and the business accounts will also be handed over. Saying that, she sighed, "There's no way, I'm short of people on my hands, so I can only do this." ”
Du Yunyi wanted Du Jincheng to come over to help her make the bookkeeper, but where did she dare to use it?
This is a family matter of the Du family after all, and Yao Shuqi can mention such a sentence is already arrogant. Hearing Du Jinning say this, he didn't say anything, and did as Du Jinning instructed.
Let's say that after Du Zheyan returned home, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his ten-year-old cousin going out with his subordinates.
"Third brother." When Du Zheyu saw his cousin, he quickly stood up, lowered his hand and shouted.
Du Zheyan frowned and asked him, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm done with my homework today, go ahead and play with Yu Rui."
"Don't run around all day, study and learn more at home." Du Zheyan taught.
"Yes, third brother." Du Zheyu saw Du Zheyan wave his hand, and hurriedly followed a wild horse that had escaped and led the little guy out quickly.
Staring at Du Zheyu's back, Du Zheyan asked his little servant Aju: "Do you think that Du Jinning is six or seven points similar to Xiao Qi?" ”
Aju nodded: "Yes, young master, the seventh young master is very similar to that young master Du." As he spoke, he looked at Du Zheyan, but the words that came out of his mouth did not come out.
In fact, Du Zheyan and Du Jinning are also three or four points similar.
Du Zheyan frowned, didn't speak again, and went to the hall.
When Mrs. Du saw her grandson come in, she asked him, "Why did you come back so soon?" "When you go to Hexi, you always have to sit there, drink a cup of tea and then leave, you can't put down your things and leave.
Du Zheyan's face was not very good: "Grandfather, there are no adults in the Du family, only a twelve or thirteen-year-old hairy boy who receives guests there." I said what you said, but he ignored it completely, and only warmly entertained Na Su Juren as a guest. Nadu Boy's family is not a powerful person, but a commoner in Lishui County. It's just that I'm good friends with the young master of the Qi family, so I bought a house here. Grandfather, what do you think you should do? ”
"How do you know he's not a powerful person?" A young man who was sitting behind Old Lady Du and beating him on the back asked.
Old lady Du was already thinking about what to do, but when she heard the words of her eldest grandson, she hurriedly raised her eyelids and stared at Du Zheyan.
Du Zheyan was suddenly depressed, but his face was not obvious, and he said with a smile: "I'm not like my eldest brother who is busy with the affairs of the restaurant all day long. I have made a lot of friends with Young Master Qi, and I am always well-informed. ”
Du Zhexin didn't look at him, and said lightly: "I am indeed not as well-informed as you, but how did I hear that you had all kinds of troubles with that little Sanyuan?" At the gate of the Gongyuan Academy, in front of many candidates, embarrassed Young Master Qi and that Young Master Du? ”
Old Lady Du's face sank suddenly, and she stared at Du Zheyan and said, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it. ”
Although the Du family has two people, neither of them has become officials. Only Du Zheyan climbed up to Qi Siyu and asked his father to go to Xingning County to be the master bookkeeper, but he was only a petty official who was not in the stream, and he didn't even have a grade. Therefore, Mrs. Du has always been a man with his tail between his legs in this gourd alley, so he is afraid of provoking big people and causing the disaster of destroying his family, and he usually tells his children and grandchildren to be low-key.
Du Zheyan also knew this, so he didn't dare to speak out about the conflict with Du Jinning. This time he was pierced by the lobby brother Du Zhexin, and he secretly hated it in his heart, so he had to honestly say the two sentences in front of the Gongyuan Gate, and explained: "This is all the contradiction between Young Master Qi and them, I didn't say a word." ”
Old Lady Du knew this grandson very well, and said, "You didn't speak at the time, didn't you have any idea for Young Master Qi behind your back?" ”
"I ...... I didn't. Du Zheyan was a little squeaky.
Seeing this, Old Lady Du's eyes narrowed, and she raised her eyelids to look at Aju, the little maid who went to Du Jinning's house with Du Zheyan: "Aju, you tell me in detail what the third young master said and did in that little Sanyuan family just now." ”
"This ......," Aju sweated on his forehead. If he said what Du Zheyan said just now, and returned to the courtyard later, the third young master might not be able to punish him.
"Don't be afraid, but say, This is what I commanded. If he dares to punish you, he will be dissatisfied with me. Just come and tell me, and I'll have someone serve him. ”
Old lady Du said, and suddenly shouted: "If you dare to favor your young master and don't tell me the truth, your family won't stay in the Du family." ”
