Chapter 122: Imperial Merchant

"Isn't the Rose doing this way getting bigger and stronger?" Zhu Youning can almost imagine the virtuous cycle of roses.

Look at Cai Xiancheng today, I heard that the people who accompanied the Cheng family to Fuyang came to Fuyang to pick them up in person, and the women who joined the roses, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, were equivalent to gilding.

With the aura of the rose, I am afraid that you will get a lot of benefits, and the woman who gets the benefits will give back to the rose, so a virtuous circle, the rose will only grow stronger.

"yes. All the women in Da Zhou who have some heads and faces are proud to join the rose. is from a poor family, as long as there is a skill that is valued and absorbed by the people of Rose, he can also marry into a wealthy family in the future. ”

Zhu Huating smiled and touched Zhu Youning's head, "But these are still far from us, you see that the Zhu family is also a leading family in Fuyang, but compared to the power of Rose, it is much worse." ”

Zhu Youning blinked and smiled playfully: "If grandfather becomes a woman, is he qualified to join Rose?" ”

When Zhu Huating heard this, the appearance of the old lady Zhu shaving her beard and putting on women's clothes instantly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a thrill.

"Even if he is a woman, what will he do besides running the family business? The Zhu family's business is inherited from his ancestors, he is just keeping it, where is there any real ability that can make Rose look good? ”

Zhu Youning immediately shook Zhu Huating's hand with a wicked smile: "Daddy, I heard it, if you say this, grandfather will be sad if he knows!" ”

Zhu Huating couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "He won't be sad." ”

That's his father, and he knows it better. Old Lady Zhu seems to be gentle, but in fact he is hard-hearted, and if he is not a person who has entered his eyes, I am afraid that he will not attract the slightest attention.

Sixteen carefully think about the content of the conversation between Zhu Huating and Zhu Youning just now, although he has not seen the appearance of Old Lady Zhu, but he has seen Old Lady Bai, imagine that Old Lady Bai has become a woman......

Sixteen felt that he could save two bowls of rice at home.

Since Cai Xiancheng is in a bad mood, he has to wait for tomorrow.

The three of them went home as usual, slept all night, and Zhu Huating went again the next day, and successfully completed the household registration of Sixteen and Brother Zhuang.

For this reason, Cui's mother specially set up a table of good meals to celebrate.

After dinner, Zhu Youning worked with Bailing and Thrush in the room to do needlework and help Sixteen sew bookbags.

Sixteen took a wicker stick and played with Xiao Zhang Zi in the yard.

Just when the house was relaxed and happy, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked gently.

Menzi went to answer the door: "Who?"

"It's me, the old lady who ordered me to pass the word."

Zhu Youning heard the movement in the wing, so he put down the needle and thread and looked out.

The person who came was a small guy, of medium stature, sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked a little familiar.

It seems to be someone from the old lady's outer courtyard study.

Zhu Huating stood under the porch with his hands in his hands and asked, "But what are the instructions at home?" ”

The little servant respectfully saluted Zhu Huating, "The old lady's order, please ask Miss Nine to go back immediately." ”

Zhu Huating's brows furrowed into two vertical lines, "Did the old lady say what you ordered?" ”

The little guy shook his head and said, "Big master, how can the little one be qualified to know the master's affairs?" Miss Nine went back to see the old lady, so naturally she knew everything. ”

Zhu Youning stood in front of the door, "Daddy, I'll take a look." ”

Zhu Huating's eyes were full of worry when he looked at Zhu Youning, "Fu Ya'er, Daddy will accompany you." ”

He really doesn't trust those people in the Zhu family, in case they are not good for Zhu Youning, Zhu Youning is just a child, where can he have the power to fight back?

Zhu Youning saw through Zhu Huating's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, what can happen when you go home in the blue sky and day." ”

Zhu Huating knew that the old lady couldn't push it away when he came to invite someone, and seeing Zhu Youning's calm expression, he could only sigh and agree.

Zhu Youning took Bailing and thrush, and followed the little guy back to Zhu's house.

To Zhu Youning's surprise, this time was diametrically opposed to the cold reception he received when he returned to the house to meet the old lady, and the servants and maids along the way all saluted with a smile on their faces when they saw her, which politely made Zhu Youning uncomfortable.

The little servant led Zhu Youning to the front hall of the main courtyard.

Taking advantage of the time for the little servant to reply, Zhu Youning whispered to Bailing and Thrush, "You find an inconspicuous place outside to guard, and if there is anything wrong, you will quietly go to the guest house to find Li Gongzi to report the news." ”

Both Thrush and Bailing nodded solemnly, looking ready for battle.

"Miss Nine, the old lady invites you in."

The little guy made a dark green splendid Fushou pattern olewood curtain for Zhu Youning at the door.

Zhu Youning bowed his head at the little guy and entered the main gate.

The front hall is very spacious, as soon as you enter the door, it is a freehand picture of ten thousand horses galloping, the picture is placed under the case, and a blue and white porcelain vase is installed on the left and right, which is inserted with new flowers. Under the case, there is a black lacquer square table, a Taishi chair on the left and right, and two rows of circle chairs at the bottom, on which are laid with a brand-new dark green elastic ink mattress.

At this time, whether it is the main or secondary seat, it is already full of people.

When Zhu Youning looked at these people, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Seeing that this is the four leaders of the Zhu family, all of them are here. The old ladies sit, the rest of the seats are for the masters, and the rest of the young masters stand in two rows behind them.

As soon as Zhu Youning entered the door, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Zhu Youning was very uncomfortable, but his face was innocent, flashing his long eyelashes, and he saluted Old Lady Zhu and the other three old ladies with a smile.

"Good grandfather, good uncle and grandfather. Good uncle, uncle, and brother. ”

"Look, the nine girls are so polite, they are really smart and capable." The third old lady smiled and praised, "Only the eldest brother has taught such an excellent granddaughter, but we can't reach it." ”

Old lady Zhu said modestly: "The third brother is too famous. It's all about the kid's own efforts. ”

After Mrs. Zhu said that, she beckoned to Zhu Youning lovingly: "Fu Ya'er, come, come to grandfather." ”

Zhu Youning's goosebumps all over her body trembled, Old Lady Zhu's behavior really disgusted Zhu Youning, and she didn't care about her, why bother to make such a gesture to show others, and she was not tired of panicking.

"Grandfather." Zhu Youning walked to Mrs. Zhu with her head down, her cute appearance with her eyebrows lowered really made people who saw it want to pinch her little face.

Old lady Zhu did the same, he pinched Zhu Youning's cheek with his big hand, and said with a smile: "Nine girls, this time you did a good job." ”

Old lady Zhu's hands were dry and slightly cool, so that Zhu Youning contacted the snake, and the hairs on his back stood up.

"My granddaughter doesn't understand." Zhu Youning raised his eyes and looked at Old Lady Zhu.

"Look at my memory, the nine girls just came, I don't know yet." Old lady Zhu chuckled lightly when she heard this.

The second old lady smiled and said: "Every year at this season, the saint has to arrange for the lord who is in charge of the private business of the inner money and the saint to come to the people to choose the object of business contacts, and the selected imperial merchant is a great honor." In previous years, our family didn't have this opportunity, but now Hangzhou Mansion actually gave a post, asking the eldest brother to take Miss Nine with him! ”
