Chapter 757 It’s okay if it’s not!
Gu Dahua was a little surprised when he heard that he didn't go to Mr. Zhao's caravan to carry things back, but to Ruyifang in the capital, but it didn't seem strange.
Compared with the housekeepers under Mr. Zhao, not to mention the master, the second master also believes that the shopkeepers and managers under Mrs. Qian are strict in their tone.
The Zhao family has not been around for a long time.
Mr. Zhao is considered to be the number one person, but the manager is still a bit fussy. After a few mouthfuls of yellow soup, he really dares to say anything.
Even the eldest wife of the Zhao family, her mother-in-law, looked down on his master on one side and cared about his business firm on the other.
In other words, he and Dachang are not talkative people. If they speak a little in front of the steward sent by Mrs. Qian to pull goods, the steward of the Zhao family will be beaten to death by Mr. Zhao!
But it can also be seen from this that although Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qian are direct cousins, they are really incomparable, even the eldest sons they have produced cannot be compared.
Thinking of Mrs. Qian's eldest son, Gu Dahua immediately thought of something, "Master, did my wife tell you that the Qian Mansion even sent someone to deliver a post to Mrs. Qian's eldest mistress?"
"Yes."
Not only did he send messages to his wife, Mrs. Qian, the eldest daughter-in-law, was also very polite and even took care of Xiaobai. She was worthy of being Mrs. Qian's only direct daughter-in-law!
My own son has taught me well, and my daughter-in-law is also good.
Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian are not in the capital, but the couple can live a good life. Mr. Qi even praises them, and Mrs. Qian is considered lucky.
Entering from the side door of Zhou Mansion facing the street, he turned left for dozens of steps and walked around the rockery and stone lake. There was a moon gate in front of him. Gu Erzhu saw several people coming from the other side.
At the same time, he had no time to tell Gu Dahua anything except nodding. He saw Zhou Shushun walking quickly and already said it was him, waving his hand for the others to leave.
Of course, these other people did not include Zhou Yujiang who was walking together. When Zhou Yujiang saw this, he quickly said hello and saluted before the two in-laws were still together.
Late?
A little later, his father and Uncle Gu would chat with each other very quickly. Many times, he didn't know whether he should say hello or interrupt.
"Good boy!" Knowing that outsiders in the capital paid more attention to scholarly etiquette than in his hometown, Gu Erzhu was too lazy to let Dajiang avoid saluting like before.
After praising him, he came close and patted Dajiang on the shoulder, "I have your father here. It's cold outside. Go back to the house quickly. Don't disturb my brothers' night talk by candlelight."
Ojiang couldn't help but nodded.
"Go, what are you waiting for? Go back to the house and have a good rest. There is no rush to brush up on your books. Take it easy these days. I have plenty of time to brush up on my books and practice my calligraphy.
Be obedient, your father and I have a lot to talk about, and we have to plan carefully tonight to see if we can take your wife back from your uncle Qi on the return trip.
Speaking of which, men should get married when they are older and women should get married when they are older. If you happen to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, if you get married as early as possible, your father will have grandchildren as soon as possible, don't you think? ”
Dajiang suddenly fell into despair.
Thursday Shun laughed.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you enjoying?" Gu Erzhu said with a smile and slapped Zhou Shun on the back, "Why did you come here to catch me, isn't it cold?
Just send someone to tell the concierge no. What about Changping? Are you still reading a book now? I asked him to go out with me and not leave. ”
"It's okay, he just likes books. I just came over from him and asked him to rest early, but my wife and his wife ran to find the second sister-in-law."
The implication is that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xiaobai are still with Mrs. Liu at this time. Gu Erzhu understood, and without thinking of going back to the courtyard where his couple lived in the Zhou Mansion, he walked side by side to Qingfeng Courtyard with Zhou Zhou.
"What's going on? You're not coming back from Zhao's house. Why don't you accompany your second sister-in-law in and go out first? Isn't it Boss Zhao who is helping one of his sons to make plans for Bao Ya?"
"He dares?!"
It’s okay if it’s not!
After Gu Erzhu blurted out, he glanced around and shook his head in amusement, "It's our Xiaohe. Uncle Zhao seems to want to betroth his granddaughter to Xiaohe.
But when he asked how old Xiaohe was, and how old Zhao Laosi's daughters were, and how old Zhao Lao's youngest daughter was now, I deliberately diverted the conversation.
I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, or if he really has this intention. Anyway, we, Xiaohe, are still young, so why are we so anxious to settle down? Do you think this is true? ”
Zhou Shushun frowned and nodded when he heard this, "I don't think I miss you too much. Second brother, they saw me and Brother Qi getting married, and even Mr. Zhao was tempted."
Can Gu Erzhu say that he heard his old son mention that the Zhao family knew they couldn't stay with Dajiang, so Xiaohe's marriage must have been targeted by the Zhao family again?
"It's human nature. If you don't even look at who is standing behind you, your family will be different, brother!"
Zhou Shushun retorted subconsciously, "What's different? I'm not just a mud-legged person, and my family is not a farmer. Is it possible that someone else can be superior?"
Hey, you still have the nerve to say it!
Not to mention anything else, just the house your family just bought!
It is located in the gathering place of the powerful, close to the east city of the Imperial City, and is only separated by two alleys from Mr. Zhou's original residence. I wonder what kind of location it is?
Although it is only located on the outermost edge of the East City of the Imperial City District, it is extremely difficult to buy. After all, the inner city is very expensive, and it is surrounded by the residences of officials of fifth grade and above. Naturally, there are very few houses for sale.
It is basically impossible for ordinary people to buy a house nearby. Even big businessmen with a lot of cash will not have anyone sell the house to them.
The capital is not easy to live in.
Those who can live in the area are not divided into three, six or nine classes according to people, and families who are not in the same situation cannot live together at all.
You have forgotten that this house was originally the residence of an old Hanlin, but the old Hanlin has long since passed away, and his children and grandchildren have long since separated and moved away from the capital. Therefore, it has been vacant for several years and has not changed hands until now. The house was transferred to your name, Mr. Zhou?
"What are you looking at?"
He just looked at it without saying anything, which made people panic. Zhou Shun stretched out his right hand to touch the back of his head, "Which of us brothers is following the other? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Gu Erzhu, dumbfounded, pulled off his right hand, leaned forward and put his head to Zhou Shun's ear, "Don't you think that Master Gao has personally sent a sergeant to ask you to come and sit in his Gao Mansion after he has finished his work for the past two days?"< br>
"That's it?"
"What else do you want me to say?" After speaking, Gu Erzhu patted Zhou Shun on the back of the head.
Zhou Shun was speechless and said as if Mr. Gao only invited me, "I see that I am very particular about sending posts and want to pay a visit, okay?
Another thing, when proposing a marriage, not only did he invite the official media to the Qi Mansion, but he also invited a highly respected old lady to go with him. Is that his own mother? ”
What do you mean, you gave Mr. Gao some face and just invited Mrs. Gao to go to the Qi Mansion to propose marriage, so Mr. Gao had to politely send his entourage to come?
