Chapter 69: Out of the House
Early the next morning, Wu Yuan was still asleep when he heard a small sound outside.
"Be quiet, don't wake up Miss."
Wu Yuan opened his eyes dimly, looked out the window, it was already bright, and then he remembered that today was the day to go to the banker's house with his uncle.
Wu Yuan hurriedly got up and called Yuzhu to dress up.
Yuzhu came into the house with a smile, pursed her lips and said with a snicker: "Miss, you don't get up early on weekdays, but today you are still greedy." Uncle has been waiting outside for a long time, you have been asleep, Uncle won't let us wake you up, he said I'm waiting for you outside! β
When Wu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed that Chun Tao didn't tell him to get up, and he was embarrassed in front of his uncle again, so he hurriedly changed his clothes, took the hot cloth handed by Yuzhu and applied it casually, and Yuzhu waited for him to make up.
After a while, it was finally cleaned up.
When Wu Yuan came to the courtyard, Chun Tao and the others had already loaded the salute into the carriage, Wu Yuan thought about it, and found a very clumsy embroidered Jinyun forehead from the box, although the embroidery was not exquisite, it was always embroidered by himself, and this forehead was still when he saw Wu Yijin wiping the old lady's forehead, Wu Yuan learned to make one.
However, Wu Yuan's forehead wipe did not have a chance to give it to his grandmother after all.
Wu Yuan laughed at himself secretly, and when he saw that everything was packed, he was helped into the carriage by Lilac.
Out of Wu's house, sure enough, his uncle's carriage was waiting outside, and Zhuang Zhiyong looked at Wu Yuan with a smile.
Wu Yuan was a little embarrassed, he was still young when he went out drunk with his uncle last time, and now he is older and has become greedy again.
Zhuang Zhiyong said with a smile: "Uncle thought that he would have to wait until noon for lunch before leaving, but fortunately it was much earlier than I expected." β
Wu Yuan's face turned red, and he opened the curtain of the carriage and said to the coachman, "Hurry up!" β
Zhuang Zhi ordered his subordinates with a laugh, got on the horse and followed Wu Yuan's carriage.
"Yuan Niang, let's go and choose a few good satins when we pass by the silk shop in front of you later, and when you return to the dealer's house, you just ask a few embroidery girls to make clothes for you." Zhuang Zhiyong turned his head and said.
Wu Yuan was a little embarrassed, this time he went to the dealer's house to see his grandmother, but on the way, he had to ask his uncle to accompany him to visit some of his daughter's favorite stores.
"No need uncle, let's go directly to the dealer's house, I haven't seen my grandmother when I'm so old." Wu Yuan said softly.
Zhuang Zhiyong smiled and said: "You don't have to be nervous, your grandmother is talking about you every day, and I wanted to take you over last time, but as soon as I got home, the business said that there were good medicinal materials in the north, so I was busy going to the north to run medicinal materials." It's been more than half a year, and if I don't take you to the banker's house for a while, I'm afraid that your grandmother won't let me enter the house! β
Wu Yuan asked curiously, "What kind of person is my grandmother?" Will she like me? If I go to the dealer with such a reputation, will my grandmother be taboo? Uncle? β
Wu Yuan has been raised by the old lady of the Wu family since he was a child, and rarely heard about the dealer's family, although the Zhuang family sometimes mentions some, but Wu Yuan and his mother always get together less and leave more, naturally know little about the dealer, to say that the people who know the dealer, in addition to their own mother, they are most familiar with their uncle.
Zhuang Zhiyong said with a smile: "Don't worry, your grandmother loves your mother the most, and naturally she also loves you, besides, our family has no grandchildren, you are the real lady in our banker's house!" β
Zhuang Zhiyong thought for a while, and said softly: "Don't always think about the gossip outside, we don't believe those words, I am clear about your father's case, and it has nothing to do with you, you don't always take the fault on yourself, many things in this case don't make sense, there are many doubts, but none of them are caused by you." After going to the dealer's house, that is your house, don't be restrained, otherwise your grandmother will be uncomfortable to watch. β
Wu Yuan lifted the curtain and nodded at his uncle, which relaxed a lot.
When the carriage walked to the silk village, Zhuang Zhiyong helped Wu Yuan to get out of the carriage carefully, and the shopkeeper hurriedly opened the curtain and invited the two to enter.
"Go and see which ones you like, just take them." Zhuang Zhiyong said with a smile.
"Yo, Uncle Zhuang is finally back, but I haven't seen you for a long time." Out of the silk village came a delicate woman, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, but her speech was very sharp.
When Zhuang Zhiyong saw this woman, he coughed a few times uncomfortably, and said, "Boss Wang is here." β
The woman who was called Boss Wang by Zhuang Zhiyong suddenly saw Wu Yuanleng for a moment, and said to Zhuang Zhiyong with a smile in a blink of an eye: "It turned out that I brought a delicate guest to choose silk, I said what happened today, Boss Zhuang is willing to patronize our small silk village, it is really a rare guest, I don't know what color of satin this girl wants to choose?" We have a new veil here, making a long skirt is the most light and graceful, the girl's figure wears a long skirt made of this veil, I am afraid that it will attract some people who can't take their eyes off it! β
After speaking, she saw her commanding her men to take the veil and show it to Wu Yuan, and when Wu Yuan saw this thin material like cicada wings, how could he not understand, and his face instantly turned crimson.
Seeing this, Zhuang Zhiyong hurriedly said: "Boss Wang, don't talk nonsense, this is my niece daughter, Wu Yuan." β
After speaking, Zhuang Zhiyong paused and continued: "Please also ask Boss Wang not to misunderstand. β
The female boss listened to Zhuang Zhiyong's words, and was instantly shocked and didn't know what to say, her face changed and her mouth opened wide, and she muttered, "Niece and nephewγγγγγγ Didn't Boss Chen say that you had a crush on a girl? β
Zhuang Zhiyong's face turned a little red when he heard this, and he quickly explained: "How can you believe Brother Chen's words, he is talking nonsense." β
Wu Yuan stood next to him but understood that Uncle Dare liked this female boss, so he brought himself to this satin village to choose satin.
However, it seems that this Boss Wang seems to care about his uncle's appearance, and when he sees him, he is full of hostility, and he asserts that he is the person his uncle likes without asking who it is.
The female boss of the silk village came back to her senses after a few seconds of distraction, and said with a smile: "It's all blame Boss Chen for talking nonsense, I thought this girl was your beloved, and I was about to make fun of you, but I don't want to be your nephew, I'm really sorry, little girl, please don't mind, today the satin of the silk village is your choice, just as I apologize to the little girl." β
Zhuang Zhiyong hurriedly refused: "No, no, how can this be good?" β
Boss Wang smiled and instructed the guys to wrap up the few horses that Wu Yuan had just seen, and said to Zhuang Zhiyong with a smile: "Why not, this is the first time I have seen Sister Zhuang's daughter, I didn't notice it if you didn't say it, and Sister Zhuang's eyebrows and eyes are really similar!" Don't be polite to me! Your niece is also my niece! β
Zhuang Zhiyong heard this sentence Your nephew is my nephew, his face became more and more red, Wu Yuan stood aside and forced himself not to laugh out loud, he couldn't imagine that his uncle would be so clumsy!
