Chapter 295 - Contract (1)
Zhu Youning heard Bai say this, and felt speechless for a while. She doesn't know what other people will do, anyway, if she is the Bai family, when she is abandoned and framed by the Zhu family, and even the cause of the death of her eldest son and the reason why her husband was killed here are inextricably linked to the Zhu family, she will definitely not care about the life or death of the Zhu family, and it is already considered merciful not to curse the Zhu family in secret.
What's more, she is still a daughter, with what the Bai family taught her in the past, shouldn't mothers keep their children by their side at this time and not let them go out to cause trouble?
There were not two or three people gathered outside the gate of the Zhu family, but two or three hundred people, or people who could break through the gate of the Zhu family at any time with anger and plunder.
Zhu Youning didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Zhu Youning silent. Bai Shi also came back to his senses, and said with some embarrassment: "Mother didn't mean anything else, just looking at the appearance of the Zhu family, I couldn't bear it in my heart." If you don't want to go, don't go, my mother asked the kitchen to prepare food. ”
Zhu Youning smiled and said "yes".
Bai asked someone to prepare the meal, and the mother and the two talked about other things. Because Zhu Huating has said more than once in front of the Bai family that his daughter is different from those ordinary ladies, since their parents can't give her an environment where she can be a beautiful girl with peace of mind, then they can't use the old way to restrain her, because the Bai family no longer nagged Zhu Youning all the time, but there are still some disapprovals for her going out in her words.
When Zhu Huating came back, the meals were already ready.
"Fu Ya'er is back!" Seeing his daughter, Zhu Huating's eyes were full of surprise, and he strode forward to untie his cloak and throw it to the maidservant, while stretching out his big hand and touching her head, "Go out and lose a lot of weight." Can the trip to Huzhou go well? ”
Except for not going to Huzhou, everything else went well.
Zhu Youning felt a little guilty about deceiving her father, but she understood the temperament of her father and mother, so as not to affect the overall situation, she still didn't tell the truth.
"Everything went okay. This time I got some funds, Renyibo came to the news, the water control is not smooth, this year's autumn flood is barely supported in the past, after the flood soldiers said the water, said that the spring flood next year will be more rapid, so I have to help Renyibo, maybe I have to go to Renyibo's fiefdom to have a look. ”
"Isn't that going to the disaster area?" Zhu Huating's expression immediately stiffened.
Zhu Youning nodded: "Xu is going to go, but maybe the situation is better, and I won't need it." ”
This time she just went for a letter, and Yan Sui shipped all the 300,000 taels of silver she had on hand to her. She is not a person without conscience, Yan Sui is in an emergency, she can't ignore it, she really plans to help Yan Sui.
Inevitably, the New Year's Eve to go to the banks of the Yellow River was too sudden, which made her parents feel disgusted, and she said it now, so that they could have a time to adapt.
Zhu Huating lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time.
In fact, he was very worried and didn't want his daughter to show up. However, after reading the books of the sages for many years, he also cares about the country and knows how many lives will be endangered by serious floods.
The most important thing is that Zhu Huating now feels more and more that he can't see through his daughter, and after learning from Luo Laoshan Chang and the rest of the teachers, Zhu Youning's thinking has far surpassed him. He was also afraid that he would interfere too much, or that the persecution would be tight, and Zhu Youning would not tell him anything in the future.
Zhu Huating thought about this, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, knowing that he couldn't intervene, he simply put it aside for the time being and talked about it later.
"By the way, did your mother tell you? Your grandfather has come to me in the past two days and asked me to send you a letter, I guess your grandfather wants you to help you borrow money from a few acquaintances in the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, something happened to the Zhu family bank, and now the people who are blocked outside are all saving money in the Zhu family money village but can't take it out. You have a number in your own mind, don't be dragged into the water. ”
"Dad, do you want me to help borrow the money back?" Zhu Youning asked with a smile.
Zhu Huating said with a smile: "I only hope that you don't get a leaf on your body, besides, it's the right one, is your business still charitable?" ”
A sweet smile gradually appeared on Zhu Youning's white little face, and the depressed mood that Bai had just said was completely cured by his father.
After the family had dinner, Zhu Youning and Zhu Huating said: "It's not early today, and I will quietly go back to the house to say hello to the old lady and the old lady tomorrow." ”
"It's okay, you're tired too, so get a good night's sleep today."
Zhu Huating nodded understandingly, and asked Cui's mother to go to Zhu Youning's house to help the maids see where the arrangements were made, and if anything was missing, it would be added immediately.
Zhu Youning had a good night's sleep with ease.
After dinner the next morning, Zhu Youning reported to his parents, took the Buddha and Dou Wanwan out of the door, and went straight to the Chang'an Restaurant.
Cai Yuanjie asked people to come early in the morning and whispered that today Governor Lu and Cai Zhixian will take people to Chang'an Restaurant to guarantee the signing of the contract between the Zhu family and Chang'an Qianzhuang.
This time, the Zhu family Qianzhuang owed the people money, and the impact of the accident was too great, and the Lu prefect was also afraid that the civil unrest in Fuyang County would be out of control when the time came, so he had to lead the troops to take charge in person.
When Zhu Youning arrived, he walked to the hidden side door behind him, and after the Buddha made sure that there was nothing unusual around, he went directly to the box on the third floor and waited.
At the beginning of the hour, Zhu Youning saw through the half-open partition window that a few flat-headed carriages had turned around at the corner of the street, and then saw Old Lady Zhu, Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Yanfeng, Master Leng, and Uncle Jiao getting off the carriage one after another under the service of the servants, and went up the steps into the hall while talking.
Zhu Youning smiled and said to the Buddha and Dou Wanwan beside him: "Now it's our turn to show up." ”
Dou Wanwan's palms were sweating, and seeing Zhu Youning's calm appearance, she blurted out, "Isn't the girl nervous?" ”
"What's so nervous?"
"The girl is the Zhu family in the end, and if she wants to meet now, she will definitely anger the old lady."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Youning didn't care, "If you live for someone else's mouth, what is the meaning of life?" Besides, if they don't look down on me, I'm just trying to please me, and they still don't look down on me. To do business competition, each depends on his ability. Allow them to use tricks to steal me, but I can't fight back? What is the reasoning of this. ”
Dou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that Zhu Youning thought so much, the eighth master of the Buddha also swallowed the words of persuasion.
In the hall at this time, Old Lady Zhu, Cai Yuanjie and others had already saluted Lu Zhifu and Cai Zhixian, who were sitting in the first and second places.
Old lady Zhu looked behind Cai Yuanjie, frowned and asked, "What, didn't you say that you were going to sign a contract with the owner of your Chang'an Qianzhuang today, what about others?" ”
Cai Yuanjie smiled: "Don't worry, I'll invite her down." He glanced back at the little guy behind him.
The little girl nodded immediately, and ran upstairs.
There was silence in the hall, and even Governor Lu and Cai Zhixian craned their necks to look at the stairs.
The identity of the owner of Chang'an Qianzhuang is mysterious, and they have been curious for a long time.
