Now the second wife of the Guan family and the fourth husband and wife of the Guan family are going to the capital, and how many people in the house are crowded and want to go together. At this time, Zhuang Yue did not squeeze up, but wanted to withdraw from it, it was not too easy, a little bit of force, let people step on him more, and he would be able to retreat by himself. At that time, the Guan family will not only not blame Du Jinning, but will also be grateful to him for taking in and taking care of Zhuang Yue, an old man who has been trying for the Guan family for so many years.

After speaking, he sat up straight and said, "This matter can't be done behind the young master's back, you need to ask for the young master's consent." If the young master doesn't agree, you should stay in the Guan family honestly and toss less. ”

"That's natural, please Xiaobei, please help me tell the young master about this." Zhuang Yue stood up and gave Lu Xiaobei a look.

Lu Xiaobei hurriedly helped him up, and the two glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Xiaobei is a person with strong action, and now it is spring and summer, and the output of tea is also larger than in early spring. Although the tea gardens of Qi, Yuan, and Du are not yet in the harvest period, the tea leaves of the three families together are not less, and they have to send tea to the capital every other month. And it has been less than half a month since this tea was delivered, and he was going to the capital, so it was naturally better to do it sooner rather than later.

He first wrote to Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gouer to borrow money, and then carefully prepared a dowry gift, and followed Xie and Wu Matchmaker to Du's house for employment.

Chen and Du Jinning received them very warmly.

If there was no stimulation from the gossip, Lu Xiaobei would naturally take out all his savings to buy a dowry to express his gratitude to the Du family for allowing marriage. But since he planned to do business, the dowry he took out was a little different. In addition to some necessary physical objects and a pair of jade bracelets, his dowry list also wrote one item: all his original net worth and all his income during the year as a dowry.

This item made Wu Matchmaker and Xie Shi stunned.

Can you still give a dowry like this?

Lu Xiaobei said calmly: "I have also heard the rumors outside in the past few days, how many people think that I, Lu Xiaobei, am a toad eating swan meat." My mother-in-law, Jin Ning, and Sister Ling value me, and I am grateful, I don't think you are trusting anyone. I want the whole city to see, you are not picky, and I, Lu Xiaobei, am not the person who has no ability. I want to keep some of my savings to go to the capital to have a good time, and this part of the savings and the money I earned, I will use it as a dowry, and I also ask my mother-in-law and Jinning to believe in me. ”

He has always called Du Jinning a young master. But now that he is an in-law, he has become Du Jinning's brother-in-law, so he is no longer cowardly, changes his name, and directly calls Du Jinning's name.

"Xiaobei, you don't have to be like this." Chen disagreed, "We don't care if you have money or not, as long as you live honestly." ”

She is an old concept, thinking that as long as the family is safe and secure, the family stays together, even if she eats chaff vegetables, she is happy. Although it is possible to make some money by going out, the risks taken by the family are not comparable to that money at all. If something happens to Lu Xiaobei outside, he doesn't come back for three or five years, and there is no news, what should Du Fangling do?

Du Jinning listened to it.

She stood up and said to Lu Xiaobei: "Brother-in-law, come with me to the study, and I will hear what you plan." He also bowed his hand to Xie and Mrs. Wu, "My mother-in-law and Aunt Wu, please sit down, and I will discuss some things with my second brother-in-law." ”

"It's okay, you can do it." Xie smiled.

Mrs. Wu lived not far from Lu Xiaobei's house, and naturally knew that Lu Xiaobei originally followed Du Jinning to do things. She was also busy: "You men do great things, and you just do it, don't worry about us." ”

Lu Xiaobei confessed, followed Du Jinning to her room, and told Du Jinning about his plan, Du Jinning was very happy when he heard it, and said: "I also have this intention, but I just think that Shopkeeper Yao can't get out, and you haven't gone out when you're young, so you don't dare to take this step, so I haven't said it." If you have the heart, do it. The first time is equivalent to going on a trip, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as you can come back with them safely and soundly as scheduled. ”

"Thank you, young master." Lu Xiaobei hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Don't worry, I am also a family now, and I will definitely weigh things and will not take risks." When he said the latter sentence, he couldn't help but blush, a little embarrassed.

Du Jinning's eyes widened; "You still called me Jin Ning outside just now, why is this son called Young Master again? And you're my brother-in-law, family, where are you so polite? ”

Lu Xiaobei scratched his head, sat down and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I can't change my mouth for a while." ”

What can't be changed? It's just a temptation, and I'm worried that Du Jinning won't be used to the two of them being on an equal footing for a while.

Du Jinning glared at him and waved his hand: "If you want to earn a family business, I don't want to say that you don't need to give money for tea, you just have to use it to open up sales." How much savings do you have in hand, you just have to go to the two tea gardens in Qi and Yuan to buy tea, and you don't have to pay for the tea in my tea garden first, you can use it first. When you come back from the capital, you can give me the tea money. As for whether this trip is a profit or a loss, it is up to you to bear it. ”

"Yes, thank you Jinning." Lu Xiaobei stood up again and made a gesture.

Seeing Lu Xiaobei like this, Du Jinning was also a little helpless. Promoting his subordinates to brother-in-law, how to get along with each other is really a problem.

"One more thing." Lu Xiaobei said Zhuang Yue's thoughts, and said, "Uncle Zhuang's situation, I have been paying attention, he is in a bad situation now, many people are jealous of his position, and they always want to get him down and go up by themselves." If it weren't for the fact that you had the lion's share in this teahouse, it would be difficult for Mrs. Guan Er to reach out, and it is estimated that those people would have already occupied this position through Mrs. Guan's hand. Since he has the intention of defecting to you, it is better for you to accept him. Young Master, the stall under your name is getting bigger and bigger, and we are short of people like Uncle Zhuang who are experienced, capable, good and loyal. ”

He knew Du Jinning's scruples, so he didn't need her to speak, so he said: "As for how Uncle Zhuang left the Guan family and how to come to you, we all have plans." In short, people will not chew the root of your tongue and say that you are ungrateful to dig the shopkeeper of the Guan family. You don't have to feel guilty, anyway, the Guan family has a big business, there is not much more Uncle Zhuang, and there is no less one, the second Mrs. Guan will not care, and Young Master Guan is even more indifferent to this kind of thing. ”

"Xiaobei, you are my brother-in-law now, you don't need to use 'you' or 'you' anymore." Du Jinning reminded.

Lu Xiaobei smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Okay." ”

Du Jinning commented on Zhuang Yue's matter: "Okay, I've always wanted Uncle Zhuang to really help me." As long as you do it right, I'm fine. ”
