Chapter 214: Sour vinegar

Old lady Zhu's face was full of red light, and she was proud, and the degree of celebration was no less than when she was a child.

How rare are the gifts! Unexpectedly, his granddaughter would have the ability to win it back! It's really "intentionally planting flowers and not blooming, and unintentionally planting willows and willows", the most unoptimistic granddaughter is so competitive!

Everyone stepped forward to watch, and couldn't help but marvel again and again, everyone was full of red light, and there was honor.

Their Zhu family could only be regarded as the richest man in Fuyang County, although the family has been heirloom for a hundred years, but after all, there is a layer of difference.

But this year, they have not only hung the banner of imperial merchants, but now they have also received the royal gift, and they can even be a young lady who walks the count's pomp outside. Even if they didn't get this honor, it wouldn't delay them from showing off one more thing outside.

Especially those who have long been uncompetitive with their family legacy.

Except, of course, for the children and grandchildren of the long house.

Zhu Huazhang figured out the thoughts of Old Lady Zhu, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is my father's wisdom and vision of heroes, when my father cultivated nine girls, we short-sighted people still don't understand, thinking that it is not good for a girl to be a little girl's family." But now it seems that Dad's move is too beautiful! The Zhu family's heritage has become deeper, and we have more ways to do it in the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Our nine girls are the honorary presidents of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. ”

"yes, yes." The whole family is agreeing.

Zhu Youning observed his words and looks, and saw that Old Lady Zhu was vaguely displeased, so his little face wrinkled into a bun and said helplessly: "Second Uncle said that I laughed, where would I be the honorary president, President Lin said at the time, I said that I was still young and didn't understand anything, and this position had to be sat by my grandfather to be competent." It's a pity that I didn't succeed in the end, and the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce don't know what to think. ”

What kind of people are those old fritters in the Chamber of Commerce? Of course they are willing to let a little girl who is easy to manipulate take the position.

Everyone present understands this truth, Old Lady Zhu will come back to his taste when he thinks about it, he is in a good mood today, and then he thinks about being a superior person, there is no need to compare with everyone under him, as long as these people can be used by him.

Therefore, he only smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, and then turned back and instructed the attendants behind him: "Go inside, invite the old lady and them to come too, so that this group of dirt buns will also open their eyes." ”

"Yes!" And the attendant went in with joy and spoke.

After a short time, the second wife and the third wife walked slowly with the old lady from left to right, and the third miss Zhu Youwan, the seventh miss Zhu Youbao, the eighth miss Zhu Youxuan and the eleventh miss Zhu Youxiao followed.

Zhu Youning hadn't seen the daughters of the Zhu family for a while, and their whole family was living their own little life outside, and their grandmother and aunts had been ignoring them.

The old lady is still the same, with a thin figure and a cold expression. Wearing a dark green splendid orchid collared gown, a snow-white pearl embedded in the forehead of the same color on his head, and his jet-black flowing hair is combed into a round bun and fixed with a flat square. A well-maintained face is powdered and looks younger.

The second wife, Wen, is still a bright ** person, but her smile is a little reluctant when she looks at people today.

The third wife, Xu, has always been a husband, and she has no sense of existence in the inner house. Seeing Zhu Youning, he smiled kindly.

When the rest of the cousins saw Zhu Youning, they also smiled kindly. Except for Zhu Youwan.

Zhu Youwan is the daughter of the second room, Zhu Yanfeng's sister, except for Zhu Youxuan, the eighth lady who was raised by the old lady's side, no one in the same clan can say goodbye to her.

But since Zhu Youning came out, when she served by the old lady and the old lady, she heard more and more news about Zhu Youning.

As soon as the news of joining Rose last time came, Zhu Youwan was already devastated, and now Zhu Youning has become the honorary president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Youwan once again clearly realized that he and Zhu Youning are no longer from the same world, what is it like? Not at all.

"Ninth sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing? When Zhu Youwan was still frowning and struggling, Zhu Youxuan had already come to Zhu Youning's side like a little butterfly, took her hand and said, "You have been in Hangzhou these days, my sister has been missing you very much." He smiled and asked, "Is Hangzhou fun?" ”

"Eighth cousin, I'm fine." Zhu Youning smiled and saluted the old lady, the second wife, and the third wife, and greeted the rest of the sisters: "Are the sisters okay?" The eleventh sister seems to have grown a little taller. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Yes, but the ninth sister has also grown a lot taller." My sister will tell us what Hangzhou is like. ”

Zhu Youxuan and Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhu Youning to sit with the female dependents.

In fact, the sixth lady Zhu You'an has not yet arrived today, but because everyone knows that there is a discord between Zhu You'an and Zhu Youning, if Zhu Youwan would have deliberately mentioned it in the past, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this matter today.

The old lady looked at the granddaughters chattering around with loving eyes, and went to see Yu Ruyi with her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "Today is our family banquet, let's just choose a good day, we should also do a ceremony for the sake of the imperial gift, and it is also a major event to honor the ancestors to be able to invite the imperial gift into the ancestral hall." ”

"That's what the old lady said." Everyone agreed.

As he was talking, a man came from outside: "Li Gongzi is back." ”

Old lady Zhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Hurry up and invite Gongzi Li to have a family banquet together." ”

The subordinates ordered them to go down, and after a while, they saw a tall young man wearing a dark blue cotton cloak walking quickly. Xu was in a hurry, and the cloak with the fur edge of the white rabbit fanned out behind him, revealing the hem of his light blue robe.

"Old lady, lords." Li Tuobei bowed to the elders.

Old lady Zhu said with a smile: "Sit down, I just thought about asking someone to invite you to the county school, but I was afraid that it would delay your studies." ”

Li Tuobei said with a smile: "Such a big happy event in the family has spread throughout Fuyang County. I wanted to come back to celebrate with him, so my husband let me go early. Xiao Jiu's sister has the true inheritance of the old lady, such a major event of glorifying the ancestors, it is really a good life to celebrate. ”

It's rare that Li Tuobei will give face like this, and he ironed the old lady's compliment very much, so he took Li Tuobei's hand to see Yu Ruyi.

Li Tuobei followed the old lady, and when he walked, he went to the female dependents to find Zhu Youning, and saw that she was wearing a pink splendid jacket and was surrounded by her cousins, like a flower suddenly emerging from a pile of rotten grass, Li Tuobei couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Youning smiled back, and was very grateful to Li Tuobei for his help several times, but she was looking forward to the end of the family banquet soon, and she would like to thank Li Tuobei in person.

Zhu Youwan looked at Li Tuobei and then at Zhu Youning, it was not the first time she knew that they were familiar with each other, but she had been looking for opportunities to get close to Li Tuobei, but it had been fruitless, and she couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in her heart.

remembered that Li Tuobei also called Zhu Youning the little ninth sister when he spoke just now, Zhu Youwan pouted: "It seems that the ninth sister and Li Gongzi are very familiar." ”
