Chapter 39: Zhou Niangzi arrives
The three of them got into the carriage and went directly to the Qingfeng Inn.
"Madam, what are we going to do at the inn?" Jing Yu and Gu Yu didn't bother to ask, but when they finally got free at this time, they couldn't wait to speak.
"Mrs. Zhou has arrived," Jiang Fuyue smiled deeply, "It was said that she had just arrived in the morning, and now the group is resting at the Qingfeng Inn." ”
Hearing this, Stunned and Gu Yu glanced at each other, and their eyes lit up.
"Great!" Gu Yu cheered directly.
Shocked and laughed: "Great, madam, Mrs. Zhou is here, I think it must be ......"
At this point, the sting stopped abruptly.
The sound insulation of the carriage is not very good, and there are many people outside the wall, and some things cannot be said.
Jiang Fuyue clasped her hands, and an inexplicable nervousness and expectation came to her heart, and her heart beat faster and faster.
Not only because Zhou Niangzi came, she had hope of getting out of the sea of suffering.
is also because Zhou Niangzi is an old man.
It was someone who had served by her mother's side.
She is one of the few people in the world who has a connection with her mother.
"Faster!" Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but urge.
So the horse went from walking to trotting.
——
In less than a stick of incense, the carriage stopped, Jiang Fuyue couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, and walked inside without standing firmly.
Zhou Niangzi stayed in the upper room on the third floor, Jiang Fuyue found the room according to the letter and stood at the door, but she didn't knock for a long time.
Stunned and Gu Yu glanced at each other, and Stunned wanted to step forward to open the door, but was dragged by Gu Yu.
Gu Yu shook his head gently.
He pursed his lips in surprise and retreated.
It's been a long time, but Jiang Fuyue has never moved.
The hands in her sleeves had already been pinched countless times, leaving several marks, but she was still nervous in her heart.
Finally, Jiang Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when the door in front of her was suddenly opened from the inside.
The door was opened by a woman who looked to be about thirty, with healthy wheat-colored skin, star-like eyebrows, and a cotton robe of agarwood.
"Is it a girl?" Zhou Niangzi spoke, and her voice was gentle that did not match the appearance.
“…… Zhou Niangzi. Jiang Fuyue's eyes were slightly red.
Zhou Niangzi's eyes were also red, and she reached out to hold Jiang Fuyue's hand: "Girl, come on, come in and sit!" ”
Jiang Fuyue followed Zhou Niangzi in, and Jing Yu and Gu Yu closed the door for the two of them and guarded the door.
In the house, Zhou Niangzi took Jiang Fuyue's hand and walked to the table, and circled around her several times, her eyes were full of relief, and there were faint tears flashing: "Okay, good!" The girls have grown so big, and if the lady can see the girl now, she will be very pleased! ”
The two sat down, and Jiang Fuyue said: "I rashly wrote a letter to ask Zhou Niangzi to return to Beijing, so that Zhou Niangzi gave up the foundation that she had worked hard for many years, and I really couldn't help it." ”
Zhou Niangzi raised her hand to wipe a handful of tears and said, "It's nothing, I can fight for my family business today, thanks to my wife......
To tell you the truth, when I first came, I didn't want to do the work of serving people with tea and water, which is ridiculous, I was arrogant and felt that it was an insult to me to do this kind of thing.
So I told my wife that I wanted to go out to do business, but my wife did not agree, saying that I was a woman who was inconvenient and prone to accidents, but I pestered my wife, saying that I was not afraid of anything, and that I could do what a man could do.
Mrs. said that this world is harsh on women, and although she is restrained in the back house, she is also safe.
But I'm not convinced, I want to ask why, I want to break out!
I want all the men in the world to know that women are not born to carry on the family and take care of the household for them, and I want the women of the world to know that we are not weaker than men!
Madame may have never seen me so reckless, but persistent, and after two years, Madame finally agreed.
Madame gave me a large sum of silver, and a few accompanying maids and guards, and told me to go to Liangzhou.
Mrs. told me, let me think about leaving a way out for myself, don't be so poor that I don't even have to come back, I was arrogant and asked Mrs. to wait and see, I will definitely become the richest man in Liangzhou, and I will definitely come back to Mrs. to see at that time, but Mrs. didn't speak, only smiled at me. ”
It was the first time Jiang Fuyue heard this past, and she fell into a trance.
The mother's voice and smile seemed to be right in front of her.
"But I didn't expect that it is not difficult to do business, but it is difficult to speculate on people's hearts! The girl didn't know that there were many people who could eat people in this world outside, and there were not a few people who killed for money!
When I arrived in Liangzhou, the business started quickly, and it became very big and big all of a sudden, and the silver came like a stream, and so did the resentment.
Those people saw that we had earned most of the silver in Liangzhou, so they wanted to smash our signboard and ruin our reputation, but girl, it's not me who boasts, our signboard, that's not what anyone can smash if they want to!
When those people saw that they were doing their best and still had no effect on our industry, they murdered us.
In just two years, my friends who had traveled thousands of miles, drank wine and eaten meat together, and bragged and talked with each other, were gone......"
mentioned her deceased friend, Zhou Niangzi couldn't even speak, and directly cried on the desk.
Jiang Fuyue listened to it very badly, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to hand her her handkerchief, pour her tea again, and put it in her hand.
Zhou Niangzi cried for a while, and it was easy to stabilize, and her voice was still choked: "I really don't know, for the sake of silver, those people dare to be so careless about human life!" It's worse than an animal!
Later, I didn't dare to be so public, I could only keep a low profile, slowly Tuzhi, the girl can see from the account books sent over the past few years, although I am not a big business now, but the industry is also quite large-scale. ”
Jiang Fuyue nodded lightly: "Yes, I saw it all...... Zhou Niangzi, thank you for your hard work......"
"Harm, what's so bitter about this, it's all your own path!" Mrs. Zhou wiped a handful of tears, "Don't talk about this, girl, I came so quickly this time, in fact, because many years ago, Mrs. once wrote me a letter." ”
"Mother?" Jiang Fuyue's heart tightened, "What did my mother tell you?" ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, and said: "Mrs. said that she has been unwell recently, I'm afraid it is not good, Mrs. is worried that after her death, she will leave the girl alone in the world without care, so she wrote a letter to instruct that if one day the girl summons me to Beijing, I will obey and do my best to complement me!"
When I saw this letter, I felt bad, and wanted to go back to Beijing to see it, but before I could set off, my wife ......"
Afraid of causing Jiang Fuyue to be sad, Zhou Niangzi hurriedly said: "Although my wife and I are master and servants, but my wife was willing to give me silver and carriages and horses back then, and let me go to Liangzhou to do a big job, it can be seen that Mrs. believes in me and understands me, so as soon as I received the girl's letter, I quickly brought someone over, girl, go, I'll take you to meet them!" ”
