Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Dou Lianyi said to the family members casually: "It's too late today, you can come back tomorrow." ”

"Yes, young lady."

After the people in the backyard retreated, Dou Lianyi motioned for Bai Zhi to bring Xiao Liuzi over.

After the two listened to Xiao Liuzi's words, Dou Lianyi didn't speak, but Bai Zhi was so shocked that she said repeatedly: "Second Miss and Li Ke? This can't be, the second lady's eyes are above the top, where can she look down on a subordinate like him! ”

"Not necessarily."

After the surprise when she heard the news passed earlier, Dou Lianyi also slowly tasted something, she raised her hand and unconsciously pinched the pink hibiscus flower in front of her, until the flower juice came out, and then said softly: "I remember that the appearance of the person named Li Ke is not bad, but there is always some evil in his eyebrows and eyes, and he doesn't look like a serious person." ”

"Speaking of appearance, the slave maid thinks that he is not as handsome as Qin Gongzi," because Li Ke forcibly took the young lady away before, which made Bai Zhi disgusted the other party now, she flattened her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "The slave and maid still remember his villainous face." ”

Qin Gongzi?

Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and Qin Mu's face couldn't help but appear in his mind.

For some reason, the roots of my ears were slightly hot.

She shook her head and said to Xiao Liuzi: "Pay more attention to Li Ke on weekdays, if you can find out if he still has relatives in his hometown, it would be better if he has a marriage match." ”

Xiao Liuzi didn't say a word and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, young lady, as soon as there is any news, the little one will come to tell you immediately." ”

"Also," Dou Lianyi let go of the hibiscus branch in his hand, and after a pause, he asked with a somewhat complicated look: "I remember that Fen'er has only recently become the personal maid of the second miss, right?" How does she relate to you privately? ”

"Other little ones don't dare to say big things, but there are really few people in this house who have a bad relationship with Xiao," Xiao Liuzi touched the back of his head and smiled, and replied slyly: "The young lady wants the little one to have a good relationship with Sister Fen'er, right?" ”

"Hmph."

Dou Lianyi was noncommittal, but the corners of his mouth were hooked up, and after raising his hand and knocking on Xiao Liuzi's head, he changed the topic: "I heard Yuzhu say that you haven't eaten yet, just eat here and go back to work." ”

With that, Dou Lianyi turned around and went back to the house.

Leaving Xiao Liuzi behind him, he responded beautifully: "Thank you, young lady!" ”

A few days later, it was the Double Ninth Festival, and Mrs. Lu wanted to hold a family banquet in the chrysanthemum garden.

I don't know if it was the last time Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet that the Lu family became a laughing stock outside, in short, this time the county king's mansion was full of energy, ready to hold a big deal to save face.

Even Lu Shangxuan didn't care about the money that was spent, but occasionally when he saw Dou Lianyi in the mansion, he always looked like he wanted to say something.

And Dou Lianyi just didn't see it, as soon as she mentioned that the expenses in the house were getting tighter and tighter, she would call someone to call the bookkeeper to settle the accounts with Lu Shangxuan one by one.

As for her own dowry, she will not take out half a cent.

In this regard, Dou Lianyi also said vigorously: "Most of the hundreds of taels of silver that I paid to Boss Qin before, but most of them were paid by me, husband, if you don't believe it, remember the black and white words on the account book clearly, and the dowry in my treasury is not inexhaustible, and please don't make it difficult for me to be strong!" ”

Lu Shangxuan looked at the stack of ledgers on the desktop with a headache, and the dense numbers in it made him really not want to open it again.

He was originally a military attaché, and Lian Niang has always been taking care of the whole house, and in the past, he didn't need to open his mouth when he lacked silver, Lian Niang would take the initiative to give it to him, how could he have said this kind of thing that made him unable to get off the stage.

After such a few times, Lu Shangxuan only felt that his face was lost, and no matter how much Mrs. Lu urged, he didn't want to mention the dowry to Dou Lianyi again.

So much so that once Lu Lianzhi mentioned that she had found out that Dou Lianyi's shops were cooperating with Boss Qin, Lu Shangxuan waved his hand irritably, and replied angrily: "Why do you always hold on to them?" As long as there is silver in the account, otherwise I only count on my monthly salary every month, and the whole house will go up and down to drink the northwest wind? ”

As for whether there is really a personal relationship between them, Lu Shangxuan doesn't particularly care about it now.

Since he was able to be ruthless at the beginning, he designed to let her have sex with other men on the day of his wedding with Lianniang, and now he can naturally endure this breath for the time being for the sake of the silver.

The family banquet for the Double Ninth Festival here is in full swing, and Dou Lianyi over there has taken advantage of the reason why he wants to do big business in the past few days, and handed over the arrangements for the size of the family banquet to the big housekeeper.

As for how Lu Lianzhi got this right from Old Madam Lu, Dou Lianyi didn't care at all.

Because there are more important things for her to worry about right now.

Located two streets away from the Junwangfu, the Lotus House is not located in a bustling market, but the chefs in it come from all over the world, and their cooking skills are exquisite, so it attracts many gluttonous diners every day.

And the rooms on the third floor of it are used by the shopkeeper to entertain dignitaries and dignitaries everywhere, but later Dou Lianyi spent a sum of money and directly contracted the largest of them, which was specially used to discuss business with the shopkeepers of several shops under her.

At this time, the shopkeepers of several shops were sitting under Dou Lianyi, and they were raising objections to her purchase plan.

"Owner, why do you buy a lot of grain at this time? Now that it is the autumn harvest season, there are so many crops outside that there are endless harvests, and even if the price of buying them is lower than in the past, it is useless to hoard so much in the warehouse. ”

"Yes, the owner, if you want to stock up and wait for the high price of winter grain to sell, it is not realistic, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the granaries of every household are full, so you don't have to worry about the winter at all."

"The owner's move is really inappropriate, please think twice."

Dou Lianyi's expression was calm, and he waited patiently until the three shopkeepers had finished speaking, and then turned his head to look at Qin Mu, who had been silent.

"What does Boss Qin think?"

"I'm more curious about why Miss Dou has this plan," Qin Mu smiled, his eyes fell on Dou Lianyi's face, and said softly: "As far as I know, Miss Dou is not the one who would do such a strange thing for no reason. ”

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned almost invisibly.

How could she tell the other party that it was because she had the memories of her previous life, and knew that within three days after the Double Ninth Festival, news would come from the northwest that the war was tight and there was a shortage of food and grass.

Not only that, but the Nanyun Canal was blocked by heavy rain for several days some time ago, so that the soil in the upstream was loose and too much mud and rocks were impacted.
