"Yes, Dad, the president of the Chamber of Commerce means that he wants to promote the younger generation, and the younger generation of our family can accompany the nine girls out, and this time we should really seize the opportunity to go to Hangzhou for a long time." The third uncle, Zhu Huaxian, also helped to persuade.

Zhu Yanfeng, Zhu Yanlan, and Zhu Yanguang on the side were all a little excited.

Especially Zhu Yanguang.

He is trained to study and participate in the imperial examination at home, and he almost never has the opportunity to go far away, and he also envies his brother Zhu Yanfeng for learning to do business, and has so many opportunities to go out for a walk, and he doesn't want to have any jade Ruyi, just want to go out with a piece of it to take a look, and it's good to have a look.

Old lady Zhu lowered her eyes and was silent, as if she was contemplating.

Zhu Huazhang saw that Mrs. Zhu did not veto it immediately, felt hopeful, and made persistent efforts: "Nine girls are little girls in the end, and they haven't studied for a few days in their family studies, so they are not as mature and stable as his cousin, and there is Brother Feng to follow. ”

Zhu Youning wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.

Zhu Huazhang is really good at calculating, if it is done well, it can be said that it is all the credit of Zhu Yanfeng, and if it is not done well, she can also blame the mistake on her, an ignorant girl. The last time he persuaded the county lord, Zhu Huazhang said with a shy face that girls are easier to talk, but now because she is a girl, she looks disgusted, and the double standard is very slippery.

Old Lady Zhu pondered for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at her children and grandchildren, and finally said, "Brother Feng, their studies can't be delayed, let's call them home." ”

Zhu Huazhang was stunned when he heard this, "Dad, they can't delay a few days when they go out, they can also go out with books and account books, and our people can also spread the news at any time, so it won't delay much." ”

Old lady Zhu looked at Zhu Huazhang with a calm face, and did not open her mouth to explain.

Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Huaxian, and Zhu Yanlan immediately understood what Old Lady Zhu meant.

Please post that Zhu Youning was invited alone, so no matter how many people they go, it is only Zhu Youning who can have a chance to compete for Yu Ruyi in the end, and whoever goes is just an accessory.

If Zhu Youning gets Yu Ruyi, then not only will her own face be bright, but even the face of the family with Changfang will be brightened. They had long suspected that Old Lady Zhu reused Zhu Youning because she wanted to reuse Zhu Huating.

Old lady Zhu is not worried that the person they arranged will prevent Zhu Youning from getting Yu Ruyi, right?

When Zhu Huazhang thought about this, the jealousy vine in his heart quickly spread and entangled, strangling him.

He was tired and tired of following the old lady and saddled up the horse, Zhu Huating left the Zhu family and mixed up as a dog, but the old man was still partial to the eldest son in his heart.

In such a situation, how can Zhu Huazhang rest assured that Zhu Youning will be in the limelight?

Seeing the performance of her children and grandchildren, the smile on her face faded, and she said in a deep voice: "I hope you can all remember our family's family rules." In everything we do, we must put the interests of the family first. If you can contribute to the family, it is naturally good, if you cause chaos to the family, don't blame me as an elder for not reminding you. ”

The old lady moved out all these words, and it was hopeless.

Zhu Huazhang still didn't give up, "Dad, if Brother Feng and the others are not suitable, then I will accompany the nine girls?" ”

Old lady Zhu said: "You go out as an elder to compete with a group of dolls for Jade Ruyi, it is not glorious to lose or win, you can stay at home honestly." ”

Zhu Huazhang was angry at first when he heard this, and then felt that what Old Lady Zhu said had a certain amount of truth. Anyway, if he were to compete with a group of hairy children, he wouldn't be able to afford that face.

Seeing that Zhu Huazhang and Zhu Huaxian didn't speak, Old Lady Zhu thought about it, and said to Zhu Youning: "I'll let Zhu Fu go with you." ”

Zhu Fu has followed Mrs. Zhu since he was a child, a few years younger than Mrs. Zhu, but now he is also the age when his children and grandchildren are around his knees. Now Zhu Fu works as a housekeeper in the outer courtyard of the Zhu family. In the past, Mrs. Zhu was doing things outside, and Zhu Fu had to help run errands.

As soon as Zhu Youning thought about it, he already understood Old Lady Zhu's intentions.

People who want to come to the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce specially put forward the requirement that everyone who participates must be of the younger generation, and if her father and grandfather send people to follow, it will inevitably seem too hard to move, even if they win, they will not be able to win.

And she is in Hangzhou, and her words have no weight, and people of her generation are still worried about what will make trouble.

It was Mrs. Zhu who arranged Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu has some status, and he can represent the face of Old Lady Zhu outside, and because he is a subordinate, it will not seem that the Zhu family will arrange an adult to compete with the juniors of other families in order to get Yu Ruyi.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youning smiled and got up and thanked respectfully.

Old lady Zhu said solemnly: "When you go out this time, you can take the guards and maids, as for the rest of the entourage, boatmen, coachmen, and guards, I will arrange them." When you arrive in Hangzhou, you have to be careful in doing things. Those in the Chamber of Commerce are masters of intrigue, so don't let people stumble you unknowingly. ”

"Yes, grandfather."

"Also, although it's good to get Jade Ruyi, we don't want things to happen at home that don't outweigh the losses."

"What does grandfather mean is that I should do what I can and not open sinners at will in Hangzhou?"

Old lady Zhu smiled, stroked her beard and said with satisfaction: "You are a transparent character, and you don't need others to point fingers." I went to Hangzhou, and you analyzed it carefully. If you make some choices to offend people in order to get Yu Ruyi, it will be more than worth the loss. As long as you don't offend the big guys, pay some price appropriately in exchange for this jade wishful thinking. ”

Zhu Youning carefully chewed Old Lady Zhu's words and understood.

Don't look at Old Lady Zhu's serious face now, and the family is specially considered. But what he actually thought in his heart, Zhu Youning could guess a few points.

Old lady Zhu wants this jade ruyi to support the façade of the Zhu family.

After all, the last sentence of the Holy Ancestor suppressed the status of a businessman for so many years. No matter how rich a businessman is, he will stumble when he acts outside, because he does not get a respected status.

But with the royal gift, the jade Ruyi is different.

Whoever has this jade ruyi is a person who has been praised and recognized by the saints, and there is light on the surface of the outside, which can completely make up for the despicable fate of the merchants.

So this jade Ruyi, Zhu Youning himself also wants.

She must be a businessman in the future, she is young, she is still a woman, if she doesn't even have something to support the field, won't it be more difficult for her to do things in the future?

"Grandfather, don't worry." Zhu Youning said with a smile, "I will do my best, and I won't hold the Zhu family back." ”

"If only you understood." Old lady Zhu let out a long breath.

Seeing the dejected appearance of Zhu Huazhang and Zhu Huaxian on the side, Old Lady Zhu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all go to rest." Call Fu'an, and I'll have a few more words to him. ”
