Chapter 158: Sweet Girl
In the wine shop and teahouse, people are talking about this newly baked gossip.
"Have you heard, Miss Kou, the cousin of the Duan family in Shaoqing Mansion, has more than a dozen shops!"
"Dozen? Wouldn't it?"
"Can this be fake? Yesterday, Miss Kou went to inspect these shops, and many people saw it with their own eyes. The big silver building in the east city, the Xingbao building, the garment shop in the north, and the tea house in the west city......
Listening to a person with a particularly good memory, such as a few Jiazhen, talk about the shop owned by Miss Kou, people were shocked.
"Miss Kou has such a net worth, I'm afraid the girls in the prime minister's family are not as rich as her, right?"
If you marry Miss Kou, wouldn't it be worry-free for three generations!
As the news spread, this idea grew in the minds of countless people.
When the old lady heard the news from the steward who went out to buy, she immediately sank her face and sent someone to Qingsong Bookstore to find Xin Yu.
On this day, the bookstore's business suddenly improved.
Liu Zhou made the carriage hurt his buttocks yesterday, and complained to the shopkeeper Hu when he was weak in the gap: "I thought I could rest today, why are there so many people all of a sudden?"
Qingsong Bookstore is famous in the capital, and the bookstore opposite is closed again, and the business is usually good, but it can't be compared with the crowd of people in the days when the book was released, and it is a good kind of stability, and today there are suddenly more people.
Shopkeeper Hu is a clear-eyed person, and he teased his eyelids: "I'm afraid I heard that the owner has so many shops, and it's strange to see."
Maybe I want to attract the attention of the owner and dream of marrying back to a mountain of gold.
As soon as Shopkeeper Hu thought about the thoughts of these people, he became angry.
No matter how you come to the owner's idea, can't you let the owner do business well!
Shaoqing's mother-in-law who came to invite Xin Yu was squeezed in front of the shopkeeper Hu under this circumstance.
"I'm from Shaoqing's Mansion, and I'm here to ask my cousin to go back on my behalf's orders at the behest of the old lady."
Not long after, Xin Yu got the news, went out directly from the East Courtyard, and got into the carriage back to Shaoqing's Mansion.
As soon as she entered the door of Ruyi Hall, Xin Yu gave a salute: "Grandmother."
The old lady was dissatisfied, but she didn't show it on her face, and beckoned her to come and sit with a smile.
"Qingqing, what's going on with those rumors outside?"
Before this year, the granddaughter had hardly been out of the house, and people didn't notice that there was a cousin girl in the Shaoqing Mansion at all. This year, this girl has made a lot of movements, but the identity of an orphan girl is also difficult to enter the eyes of most people.
But now it's different, a little girl who owns more than a dozen shops, although her father died, she was a child who entered the official to the prefect through the imperial examination, and her background did not lag behind. Marrying such a daughter-in-law and entering the door, although the wife family cannot provide assistance, wealth itself is a great help.
Even without the support of his mother's family, it is still a good thing for some people.
The old lady can imagine that there will be endless people who will fight her granddaughter's idea in the future, which is naturally bad for her who is bent on leaving her granddaughter in Shaoqing's mansion.
"Rumors? What rumors?"
The girl's dazed look made the old lady stunned, and she couldn't help but say angrily, "How do you know that you have more than a dozen shops to take care of?"
Xin Yu smiled, "Grandmother originally asked this. As you know, I don't have many people at my disposal, and I see that the shopkeeper is a loyal and reliable shopkeeper, so I will take him to know the shops so that he can share the burden for me. I didn't expect so many curious people to take this as a novelty."
It's winter, and there are more people who are idle, and the gossip really spreads faster.
The old lady frowned: "Wealth is moving, this kind of news is spreading, it is not good for you."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and looked well-behaved: "How can it be no good, people are praising my grandmother and uncle for loving me, and the Shaoqing Mansion is kind." Qingqing has gained wealth, Shaoqing's Mansion has gained fame, I think it's not bad, doesn't my grandmother think it?"
The old lady was speechless for a moment, shook her lips and said, "Grandmother is worried about someone beating you."
Xin Yu smiled: "Then don't worry, the bookstore hired a lot of guards a few days ago, and Lord He of Jinlinwei took more care of me. The idea of others wanting to beat me is not so tolerant
Easy."
Jin Linwei, Jin Linwei again!
The old lady was annoyed, but she couldn't show it, but she had to admit that as soon as the news came out, as her granddaughter said, many people began to praise Shaoqing's kindness.
"Then you have to be alert, even if you are safe, you must beware of some unscrupulous deliberate approaches......
After hearing this, Xin Yu nodded softly: "Thank you grandmother for reminding me, Qingqing knows."
Today's old lady doesn't believe that her granddaughter is really well-behaved, after all, the scene of asking for money before is still vivid.
The old lady smiled lovingly, "If only you could listen to it."
After Xin Yu left, the old lady asked the mother-in-law who delivered the letter, Qingsong Bookstore, about the situation.
"The cousin girl is really amazing, the bookstore is crowded, and she almost stepped on the old slave's shoes......" I don't know that the cousin has already talked to the mother-in-law who has torn her face with the old man.
When the old lady heard this, she was both relieved and worried.
I am glad that my niece can run the bookstore so well, and her ability to take care of the family business must not be bad, but I am worried that if I can't keep people at home, the loss will be great.
The old lady sent her henchmen to Guozijian to deliver a message to Duan Yunlang.
Duan Yunlang received the letter and ran to the door of Guozijian.
"Mama Yun, what's going on at home?"
The confidant's mother-in-law's name is Hongyun, and everyone in Shaoqing's mansion calls her Mama Yun.
"Did the second son hear about his cousin?"
"Cousin Qing?" Duan Yunlang shook his head, "What's wrong with Cousin Qing?"
For the students who are locked up in Guozijian, the sources are when they go home from the holidays, and when they can go out to buy things at noon or evening on weekdays.
It was only the second day, and the news that Miss Kou owned more than a dozen shops had not yet completely spread in Guozijian.
Mama Yun explained the situation and conveyed the old lady's words: "The old lady is worried that some people will deliberately approach the cousin girl for money, so that the second son will watch it."
Duan Yunlang didn't think much about it, and responded without hesitation: "Let grandmother rest assured, I will pay attention, and I will not let Cousin Qing be deceived."
In the evening, several classmates asked Duan Yunlang to go out to buy paper and pencils, and Duan Yunlang became vigilant.
"Buying pen and paper? Where can I buy pen and paper?"
"Of course, it's the Green Pine Bookstore."
"Why did you buy pen and paper and go to Green Pine Bookstore? Don't we have one of them?"
Meng Fei reached out and touched Duan Yunlang's forehead: "Yunlang, you don't have a fever, right?" Didn't we go out to buy pen and paper before."
"But the pen and paper outside are not as good as those in our prison!" Duan Yunlang looked at several classmates of the same age and struggled for the last time.
These boys are clear-eyed, what if my cousin is confused!
Several classmates, including Meng Fei, said in unison: "But it's cheap outside."
Duan Yunlang looked at Meng Fei in despair.
Old Meng, do you remember that your grandfather was the son of the country and the priest of wine?
