"Wanliang, I negotiated a big deal this morning, the businessman came from Zhoushan, and he was very happy." Du Hongyu sat on the chair on the other side of the tea table, looked at Wanliang face to face, chatted to himself, and then took a sip of the tea that Xi'er had just put up, and then said a little conceitedly: "It turns out that doing business is quite simple." ”

"Oh, congratulations to Young Master Du." It is cool and not salty.

"Wanliang, it's all said that it's okay to call me Hongyu. Why do you take a bite of Young Master Du, I don't feel comfortable listening to it! Du Hongyu said unhappily. He just took care of Wanliang and called him Young Master Du, which flattened the distance between him and her.

"Isn't that what everyone in the fort calls you?" Wanliang didn't want to get too close to him.

"I don't care, anyway, you can't call me young master, just call me Hongyu, or Yu can too." Du Hongyu demanded domineeringly.

"Okay." Wanliang didn't want to continue arguing with him about this topic, so he said whatever he wanted. Anyway, in her heart, Du Hongyu is a domineering young master, who makes his own decisions and has the final say, and he doesn't know how to ask for other people's opinions at all. Unlike Chen, she has always been humble and polite, gentle and elegant. Chen, how are you doing now? I miss you so much!

"Wanliang, what are you thinking?" Seeing Wan Liang who was suddenly in deep thought, Du Hongyu gently touched Wan Liang's hand on the tea table with his hand, looked at her with a smile, and asked casually.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" was touched by Du Hongyu, and he came back to his senses and said incoherently.

"Wan Liang ......" Just as Du Hongyu was about to say something, the housekeeper walked in with a few maids.

"Young master, the meal is ready." The housekeeper walked up to Du Hongyu and said respectfully.

"Got it, just put it down." Du Hongyu instructed the housekeeper.

"Yes, young master." The butler replied. Then he went to the table and said to the maids, "Go out when you have set it up." ”

"Wanliang, let's go eat." Du Hongyu saw that the maid had already set up the wine and food, dishes and chopsticks, and retreated, so he got up and pulled Wanliang to the table and sat down.

In this way, Wanliang had dinner with Du Hongyu for the second time, and it felt the same as the first time, boring. Moreover, today Du Hongyu is still chattering and talking endlessly. to say that he is not sitting idle all day now; Now he is taking care of the big and small businesses in Xiuzhuang, and he will slowly take care of other businesses in the castle in the future...... Wan Liang listened to the "uh-huh" response on his lips. Xin said: "You are twenty-four years old, and Uncle Du is over the age of six, as the eldest son, you should have shared the burden for Uncle Du a long time ago." What you are doing now is what you should do, there is nothing to show off, nothing to praise. Because this is your Du family's business, and you are the future heir of the Du family, you have the responsibility to take up this burden. ”

Actually, Du Hongyu said this in front of Wanliang, not to praise and show off himself, he just didn't want Wanliang to think that he was idle all day long and idle. Therefore, he urgently told her that he was doing something now, taking care of Xiuzhuang's business.

With a good dinner, Du Hongyu and Wanliang sat back on the chairs on the tea table and chatted. Wanliang is still mainly responsible for listening, and it is Du Hongyu who basically speaks. Before she knew it, Wanliang saw that Du Hongyu had no intention of leaving, so she had to unceremoniously issue an eviction order, saying that she would get up early tomorrow to go to Xiuzhuang to do things, and she wanted to rest early. Du Hongyu finally reluctantly returned to his "Hongyu Zhai".

Early the next morning, Wanliang, Ah Niu, and the eldest lady walked out of the gate of Dujiabao together and arrived at a fork in the road not far away. Ah Niu reluctantly said to Wan Liang: "Sister Xiaowan, remember to go to the dining hall to eat at noon, and remember to wait for Brother Ah Niu to pick you up in Xiuzhuang in the afternoon, and then go back to Dujiabao together." "This is what Ah Niu will say every day when he arrives at the fork in the road and separates from Wanliang, every day, Wanliang can already recite it backwards.

"Got it, Brother Niu. Slow down on your own road. Wan Liang also said this every day.

"Okay, okay, Ah Niu, go to the rice shop, Xiaowan still has a mother." Almost every day, it was the eldest lady who said this to stop Ah Niu's repeated explanation of Wanliang's verbosity. Then, they each walked to their destination.

The time to be busy always flies quickly. Wan Liang was busy, and before she knew it, it was past the unitary time. Usually at this time, Ah Niu came to Xiuzhuang early to pick them up, but today Ah Niu is delayed. In the morning, Brother Niu obviously said that he would come to pick them up and go back to Dujiabao in the afternoon. With the eldest mother and Wanliang's understanding of Ah Niu, unless Ah Niu has something, he will never say that he wants to come to Xiuzhuang to pick them up, but he doesn't come for no reason.

So, because the eldest lady and Wanliang were worried about what would happen to Ah Niu, they asked the shopkeeper for the address of Dujiabao rice shop and hurried to the rice shop.

When Wanliang and the eldest lady walked to a place 100 meters away from the rice shop, they saw Ah Niu carrying a heavy rice bag out of the rice shop. Both of them put their minds at ease at the same time, and nothing happened to them!

"Brother Niu!" Wanliang hurriedly ran to the door of the rice shop, and just happened to see Ah Niu who came out of the rice shop with a bag of rice, and shouted to him.

"Sister Xiaowan!" Ah Niu turned his head with Mi on his shoulder, and saw that it was Xiao Wan's sister who was worried about waiting in Xiuzhuang for a long time, so he exclaimed in surprise. Hurriedly put the rice bag on the cart at the door of the rice shop, and ran quickly towards Wanliang. continued: "Sister Xiaowan, why are you here? I'm worried that you've been waiting for a long time. ”

"Brother Niu, you have worked hard!" Wanliang watched Ah Niu sweating profusely, and quickly took out the handkerchief she carried with her to wipe the sweat for Ah Niu.

"Sister Xiaowan, Brother Niu doesn't feel hard at all." Ah Niu is telling the truth, compared to the deep torment of seeing Xuanyuan Chen and Wanliang Plaice every day in the "Liuyun Pavilion", he doesn't know how many times more comfortable he is in the days of Dujiabao, and he has never vomited blood again. At this time, seeing Wanliang caring about him so much, his heart was as sweet as eating honey, extremely satisfied, and extremely happy.

"Get to work! Get to work! If all this rice is loaded into the wagon, no one can go home! At this time, the shopkeeper shouted loudly. But I was very puzzled in my heart, obviously the business of the rice shop was getting better and better, and the number of people should have been increased. Seeing that a handyman named Ah Niu was transferred a few days ago, and the rice shop was barely enough manpower, but today suddenly someone from Dujiabao said: "The owner of the castle said that the tea house is short of manpower now, and two handymen should be transferred from the rice shop." The shopkeeper also said truthfully, and now the rice shop is barely enough manpower, and he disagrees with the above decision. After all, he only worked for Dujiabao, and he didn't have the final decision, so he repeatedly objected and transferred two handymen. So much so that now no one in the whole rice shop can finish work early and go home, and he is also very troubled. In the 20 years he has been working for Dujiabao, the master of Dubao has always arranged everything in an orderly manner, and the distribution of manpower is very reasonable. He didn't know what was going on this time. Could it be that the Lord of Dubao is now over the age of sixteen and is old and confused? Where did the shopkeeper think of all this, in fact, it was all arranged by the fledgling Young Master Du, and the castle master didn't know it at all.

"Mother, sister Xiaowan, I'm going to work. You go back with your mother first, leave me alone, I'll go back when I'm done." Ah Niu gently said to Wan Lianghe, who also walked over and stood aside.

"No, Brother Niu, my aunt and I will wait for you to finish your work, and then we will go back together." Wan Liang disagreed.

"However, there is still a lot of rice to be moved in the warehouse, you and your mother will wait for a long time, Sister Xiaowan, you better go back first." Niu didn't want them to wait too long.

"Then we'll wait for you to go back together. Brother Niu, you hurry up and get busy, leave us alone. Wan Liang still insisted.

"Then, Sister Xiaowan, Brother Niu is busy." Ah Niu saw that Wanliang insisted on staying and waiting for him, and he no longer persuaded her to return. He actually wanted to go back with Wanliang in his heart, but he was worried that she would have to wait too long.

An hour later, at this time, it was already past midnight, and it was already dark, and with the concerted efforts of the three handymen of the rice shop, all the half of the rice shop was finally loaded into the carriage and escorted away by the caravan. Ah Niu finally walked to Dujiabao with Aunt Wanliang.

On the way, Wanliang asked Ah Niu suspiciously: "Brother Ah Niu, are the three of you the only ones working in the big rice shop?" ”

"Originally, there were five, but the shopkeeper said that two were transferred this morning, and now there are only three left, so I finished work a little late today." Ah Niu suddenly thought of something and continued: "Sister Xiaowan, if I haven't gone to Xiuzhuang to pick you up in the afternoon, you and your mother will go back to Dujiabao first, don't come to the rice shop and wait for me for so long." Look, it's getting dark. ”

Just walking and chatting, they finally returned to Dujiabao at three o'clock. But because it was too late, the cooks and handymen in Dujiabao's kitchen had already gone home, so none of them could use dinner today. Wanliang felt that it was nothing if she didn't eat a meal, but Brother A Niu couldn't even eat dinner after a tiring day, and she really didn't feel good in her heart. However, Wan Liangwan didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

Every day that followed, Ah Niu only finished work and returned to Dujiabao. Because of the lesson of watching Ah Niu work tirelessly and not eating dinner for a day, later, every afternoon, Xi'er sent dinner to "Lulan Garden", and Wanliang first left most of it for Ah Niu, and then started eating it herself.

In fact, Uncle Du treated her very well, and her food and clothing in the castle were completely the treatment of the eldest lady. Since she lived in "Lulan Garden", not only has there been fresh fruits in "Lulan Garden" every day, but the food brought by Xi'er is also the standard of four dishes and one soup. However, Wanliang has always eaten more delicately, where can she eat so much. So since she lived in "Lulan Garden", Auntie, Ah Niu, and Xi'er have fruits to eat every day; Now, she keeps most of the food for Ah Niu, and she is also full.

However, seeing that Brother A Niu finished work so late every day, she still had thoughts in her heart, why Uncle Du treated her as well as his own daughter, but he could be a little harsh on Brother A Niu. Wanliang knew that although the eldest mother didn't say it during this time, she was actually a little uncomfortable in her heart, after all, Brother Niu was the only son of the eldest mother. Although Uncle Du insisted on paying them every month despite their repeated shirks, she and the eldest lady really didn't want to watch Ah Niu work so tired.

Ah Niu himself is just the opposite, not only did he not complain, but he was happier and more satisfied every day than before. First, because Ah Niu is a person who can endure hardships; Second, mainly because now he has dinner in "Lulan Garden" every day, and it was specially left for him by Xiaowan's sister, which makes him happy in his heart! Therefore, returning to "Lulan Garden" for dinner every night has become the thing he is looking forward to the most now. He was eating, and Sister Xiaowan was watching from the side, he was really eating in his mouth, sweet in his heart, very satisfied, and very happy! He wants to live with Xiaowan sister like this for the rest of his life! This is the way it is in this world, the easier it is to be satisfied, the easier it is to be happy.
