Chapter 745 Return from Zhao Mansion
Compared with Zhou Shushun's laughter at this moment, Gu Erzhu, who was sitting at the Zhao Mansion banquet, could only pull up the corners of his mouth and laugh when he heard the meaning of Mr. Zhao's words again.
What do you mean your fourth child is idle now?
Not to mention that my Sanya made a contract with your third son from the beginning, even if your fourth son is not robbing your third son's business, can I let my Sanya get involved?
Zhao Laosan, Zhao Laosan, our second brother doesn’t laugh at the elder brother. You, a filial son, can’t please your father any more than I, a foolish and filial son.
You are such a good brother, he is much better than my big brother. Listen, you and I have finished talking now, and then you, the big brother, interrupted.
If it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't pick up on you and me again, and I'm afraid you, the eldest brother, wouldn't want to change the subject. You, after all, would make your eldest brother think too much.
On the return carriage.
When Mrs. Liu first saw Gu Erzhu getting into the carriage and resting with his eyes closed, she didn't care. Socializing was the most tiring thing. But after the carriage had gone for a while, he still leaned on it without saying a word?
This posture!
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but push Gu Erzhu, "Did someone in their family say something that made you have to think about it carefully, or did someone mention something that made it difficult for you?"
Gu Erzhu sat upright, reached out and took his wife's right hand, squeezed her palm, then turned sideways to lift the car curtains, and asked: "Where is this?"
"Almost there."
So soon, when will we cross the city gate and enter the imperial city? Gu Erzhu looked at the street outside. Believe it or not, it turned dark when he was distracted.
Although the Imperial City is inside the inner city, the busiest place is the outer city.
Shops were open on almost all streets in the outer city. The streets in the inner city were wider, but the inner city was divided into two cities, the east and the west, not to mention the imperial city within the inner city.
The imperial city is surrounded by the palace in the middle. In addition to the six departments, six temples, yamen, etc., the rest are the palaces of various princes, princesses, and individual princes.
As soon as it got dark, there was really no one else on the road except soldiers in armor, or government officials in official uniforms, or the masters and servants of various mansions riding in cars and sedan chairs.
Old man Zhao thinks that staying in any big house in the imperial city for one night is enough to honor his ancestors, but he can't say that living here will make it even more scary at night!
The house is big, and as you enter again and again, the streets outside are also bright. Not to mention the red lanterns hanging in front of the mansions are lit, there are also lanterns lit at the end of the streets, but is this popular?
Gu Erzhu secretly shook his head and lowered the car curtains, moved his butt towards Mrs. Liu, stretched his neck and asked quietly: "How is Boss Zhao's wife?"
Mrs. Liu moved her head slightly to one side with some itching in her ears. She thought for a while while picking her ears with her little finger, then she came closer to Gu Erzhu's ear and said, "You don't seem very smart."
Gu Erzhu couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing him laughing out loud, Mrs. Liu also thought it was quite funny. Taking advantage of the fact that the carriage was moving steadily, she quickly whispered, "There is no comparison with Sister Hui."
Do you want to say that when you were a girl, you were raised stupid by your mother's family, and that's why you were picked up by Boss Zhao? Gu Erzhu patted his wife lightly and said, "I can't compare you with anyone."
If there is any imperfection in the daughter of the Qi family, would Sanya be happy for her sister-in-law to drag down her eldest brother who supports the family? No matter how high your family status is, how rare is Sanya?
Not to mention that Mr. Zhou is now backing him, and Mr. Zhou has not shown up yet. This child will come back from Gaofu and marry into a poor family like ours without frowning.
What's more, now that there are many important people, money on hand, and a young man with a promising future, there are many good sisters-in-law to choose from, so there is no need to reach high.
Mr. Zhao, no matter how outstanding the Zhao family is, he still had limited knowledge back then. It was not for others to say that he had to go to a high-ranking in-law family because he was from a lowly family. Even if Boss Zhao has managed to get through it now, even if Zhao Laosan sends money to Boss Zhao's Yue family every year, he still doesn't have enough confidence today.
Regardless of the fact that the daughter-in-law Zhao Dalang married is still a daughter of the Wang family, just because the surname of the chief housekeeper of the Zhao family is Wang, it will be difficult for Mr. Zhao to hold an official position no matter how high he is.
The involvement is too deep.
The advantage is that the two or three generations of Zhao boss's children and grandchildren will be protected by their uncles from the Wang family. But if time passes, if the nephew is still unable to stand up, the Zhao family, not to mention the Wang family, will have the final say.
After all, not every daughter-in-law is like his Sanya. It is one thing to subsidize her natal family, but Sanya will never let her natal family make the decision in the workshop.
Even though Da Ya seemed to be able to speak well in the workshop, San Ya kept a tight lid on the accounts going in and out of the accounting room, as well as the valuables in the warehouse.
Not to mention Da Ya, she kissed me herself, but she didn't tell the truth. She was not confused. Her parents' family was clearly divided, and even the servants all took her husband's surname.
Just like what the child said before, the rules should be established early to avoid confusion later. It is one thing that she is willing to help her parents' family, but her things can only belong to her children.
It was impossible for her to move everything to her parents' family. From beginning to end, only he, his wife, and his family knew about the gold and silver hidden in the family.
In the final analysis, Sanya was helping her mother's family without thinking about how much her sisters and brothers could repay her in the future. She just wanted to make her biological father happy and enjoy her old age.
Sanya is very easy to carry.
Just like the big house in the past, this is the real big house under the emperor's feet. She doesn't show off, only half of her voice is revealed!
"Do you want to go into the front house?" Just in case the partition wall has ears and some things cannot be said outside, Liu simply reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw a familiar archway to the right in front.
Where is Sanya's house?
Gu Erzhu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "It's getting late now, so I'd better go back and go with my in-laws. I'm going to get down to business first. I can't run away from the house."
What are you thinking about?
It's not like you asked Chang Qing to check on something on the way to Zhao's Mansion during the day. When you come back, you can pass by this end and go in, so that Chang Qing doesn't have to make another trip to Zhou's Mansion.
Before Liu could speak to remind him, Gu Erzhu thought of something, "You want to say that I still have something to do with housekeeper Chang, so why don't you take this opportunity to go there first?
No, he is our housekeeper, and his boss is still outside. How could he not know when I will come out of the Zhao Mansion? He must be waiting for us back at the Zhou Mansion. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought it made sense. With Chang Qing and his wife always acting thoughtfully, she might have already taken her servant outside the door to wait for them to come back.
At home, both of them respected her and her husband, not to mention that under the emperor's feet, even the child's father could no longer easily call him brother Chang.
Here, even if Chang Qing looked down upon Sanya for not recognizing outsiders, he would not see her family of three staying peacefully in Sanya's house before returning to Zhou Mansion.
Sure enough.
The carriage was advancing slowly, and soon after passing a corner, across the carriage, Mrs. Liu heard Chang Qing's slightly hoarse voice in recent days.
"Is our master back?"
