Delicate Flower Chapter 121: Go out
It was not Gao Sheng’s turn to comment. He nodded silently and asked Gu Chang: “What about the Li family?”
Gu Chang said coldly: “We have done so much, if the Li family didn’t know, wouldn’t it be a night walk in brocade clothes?”
Gao Sheng agreed and after serving Gu Chang for a while, he went to inquire about Pei Yan.
By the time Li Duan found out that the rumors about Li Yi’s corruption were caused by the Peng family, and that it was Gu Chang’s handiwork that Li Yi was about to be transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou, it was already the Dragon Boat Festival.
He looked at Chengchen, whose roof was painted with blue-green wisteria leaves, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he couldn’t even move his little fingers.
Peng Shiyi felt that he was not obedient enough and wanted to intimidate him, so he let people spread the news that Li Jun came back to transport money from his father’s embezzlement; while Gu Xi wanted to break off the engagement, but she didn’t want others to think it was her. He wanted the Li family to take the initiative to cancel the engagement, so Gu Chang took action and threatened that if his family did not cancel the engagement, his father would be transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou.
Lin Jue was circling around the room like a trapped animal: “We are attacked from both sides now! Atuan, you can’t be careless! Peng Shiyi is easy to say, but doesn’t he just want us to bow our heads? Let’s bow our heads. That’s right! Just do whatever he says. The most important thing is not to let him find out that the Gu family is also dealing with us, otherwise we will really become the flesh of the family and will be slaughtered by the Peng family at will.
“As for the Gu family, if it doesn’t work out, then just break off the engagement.
“My aunt tried to hook up with the Gu family before, but I don’t think it’s appropriate. Qi Dafei! Moreover, the second bedroom of the Gu family is very poor. I found out clearly that when the old man of the Gu family separated, the second bedroom of the Gu family was divided. Less than 20,000 taels of silver, but the second master is still ignorant of general affairs. How much dowry can Miss Gu have?
“Besides, think about the young lady from the Gu family. She lost her father when she was young, and even her stepmother is afraid of her. It shows that she is not easy to deal with! After all, the Gu family can Let’s get some light from studying. But among the four major surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, there are three in Hangzhou. Without them, the Gu family, there would also be the Shen family, the Lu family, and the Qian family. If that doesn’t work, there would be the Zhang family and the Yang family, which are less important!”
Having said this, he sat down on the Zen chair next to Li Duan, crossed his legs and continued: “If it were me, I would find someone similar to my own, or the girl’s brother can read, or else It means having a lot of money as a dowry. In the end, you still have to live your own life. If you find a wife to bear on you all day long, what’s the point of living for this person?”
Li Duan smiled bitterly.
Why would he want to do this?
But if he doesn’t do this, when he becomes an official, the Li family’s background will not be able to help him at all.
Like his father, he is the best example.
If the Lin family had no background other than money, would his father still be unable to advance in the fourth-grade official rank at his age today?
It’s just that it’s not easy to say this in front of Lin Jue.
He rubbed his temples with a headache and said: “If the Gu family’s marriage can be kept alive, it’s better to find a way not to retreat. I heard from people in the Wu family that Gu Chang’s mentor Sun Gao might be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It’s the minister’s turn.”
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, dismissal, rewards and punishments of court officials.
Lin Jue’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: “Really?”
“Really!” Li Duan said a little tiredly, “There are children in the Wu family who are in the same class as me. I specially sent someone to tell them two days ago.”
Lin Jue lowered his eyes and said nothing.
They all knew in their hearts that the disciple of the Wu family came to spread the message because they did not know that the Gu family was going to break off the engagement and wanted to please Li Duan.
If the news of the two families breaking up was spread, Li Duan would be laughed at, and the Li family would be abandoned by others.
After a long while, he said sadly: “Then what are your plans?”
Li Duandao: “My mother doesn’t know about this yet. Please help me take care of her first. I’m going to Hangzhou in the next two days to meet Miss Gu!”
To untie the bell, one needs to tie the bell.
He wanted to find out why Miss Gu insisted on breaking off the engagement.
Is the Yu family’s affairs really that important? Besides, there was a reason why he did that.
Lin Jue laughed and said: “You have read a lot and have brains. My sister loves to be pretty, so instead of going to Gu Chang, it would be better to go to Miss Gu.”
After all, Li Duan looks very talented, what girl doesn’t like to be pretty. Gu Xi was the one who took the lead in breaking off the engagement. If Gu Xi changed her mind and still wanted to marry Li Duan, I believe the Gu family would not be able to stop her.
Li Duan frowned when he saw Lin Jue talking vulgarly.
Lin Jue thought that Li Duan was worried about going to Gu’s house, so he smiled and said: “I think you are right to do this. Hurry up if you want to go. I don’t think there is any need to choose an auspicious day. You can leave for Gu’s house tomorrow. , find a way to see Miss Gu. When you have Miss Gu in your hands, what can the people who look after the Gu family say?”
Although this idea is cumbersome, it is very feasible.
Li Duan secretly made up his mind to find a way to see Gu Xi, but he said: “I have my own opinion.”
Lin Jue was afraid that his stubborn temper would show up again, so he advised him: “Han Xin was able to endure the pain of his crotch and achieve great achievements. You should also follow his example!”
It depends on what you study!
Li Duan cursed in his heart, feeling that Lin Jue was a **** and couldn’t get on the official table.
He set a date to go to Hangzhou, while Yu Tang and Yu Yuan finally found the opportunity and took Xiangshi to Suzhou.
Xiang has never traveled such a long distance in his life.
She felt that she was a very lucky woman to have seen the world from Fuyang to Lin’an. She did not expect that she would have the opportunity to go to Suzhou.
Sitting in the rented awning boat, she was still dreaming.
She opened a pack of Wosi candy, stuffed one into Yu Tang, and whispered: “Try it. My father brought it back from the capital when I got married.”
The small awning boat was divided into two parts with a blue coarse cloth curtain. On one side sat Yu Yuan, Xia Pinggui, Sanmu and two shop assistants, on the other side sat Yu Tang, Xiangshi, Shuangtao and Xiangshi. His maid Xia Lian.
The Yu family’s shop needs some paint, so Yu Yuan suggested bringing Yu Tang and Xiangshi there together so that they could also get in touch with the family’s business.
Yu Bo didn’t agree, thinking that the woman would be a hindrance, but it was Yu Tang who persuaded Yu Wen, and it was Yu Wen who came forward to persuade Yu Bo, and Yu Tang and Xiangshi made this trip to Suzhou.
Yu Tang was so excited that she hadn’t slept well in the past two days. She got on the boat and walked for only half an hour. After the initial freshness wore off, she began to doze off.
Yutang yawned and put the candy in his mouth. He felt that he was not relieved at all, but wanted to sleep more and more. He couldn’t help but lean on Xiangshi’s shoulder, and his eyelids were closed together as if they were worth a thousand pieces of gold. , and said vaguely: “Sister-in-law, I’m just going to squint for a while.”
Seeing her cuddling on his shoulder like a child, Xiang couldn’t help but pursed his lips and smiled.
She didn’t sleep well yesterday. She was afraid that going there would bring trouble to Yu Yuan, and she was also afraid that she would not be able to take good care of Yu Tang and make Yu Tang dissatisfied. Although she had not married into the Yu family for three months, she could see that It is clear that this cousin’s sister-in-law from her uncle’s family is not only held in the palm of her hand by the second wife of the Yu family, but also her parents-in-law and husband-in-law love her very much. She didn’t want to offend Yu Tang over trivial matters, which would affect her relationship with her parents-in-law and husband-in-law. Moreover, Yu Tang is a nice person, and her husband dotes on her even more. He takes her with him wherever he goes. This makes Xiangshi, who has been envious of her stepmother since she was a child, determined to capture her husband’s heart no matter what, and be like her husband. Now we can live a good life together like this.
She is more tolerant of Yu Tang.
Just watching Yu Tang fall asleep, she couldn’t help but feel sleepy.
“Xia Lian.” Xiangshi whispered to her maid, “I will also take a nap for a while. If there is any movement over there, young master, please remember to wake me up.”
Xia Lian grew up with Xiangshi, and she knows Xiangshi’s thoughts best. In the past, she was worried that Mr. Xiang would marry into a wealthy family and become the first wife, so she would be taken into the house as a concubine. Now that Mrs. Xiang has married into the Yu family, she is happier than anyone else – a family like the Yu family will not keep a concubine to make a living. Usually, the maids who accompany the wife are not married to keep the agile clerk in the shop. It means marrying the shopkeeper. Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, she felt that if one day she could truly feel proud and proud, she would be worthy of being a human being.
Xiang wanted to keep Yu Yuan’s heart, so she worked harder than anyone else.
She nodded immediately, not only carefully put a pillow on her shoulders for Xiangshi to lean on, but also handed the bed sheet to Shuangtao, signaling Shuangtao to help Xiangshi and Yutang put it on her body.
Shuang Tao suddenly felt that all these years of being a maid were in vain.
She has never taken care of Yu Tang so carefully and proactively.
She usually does whatever Yutang or Chen tells her to do, and occasionally she will hide in the kitchen and be lazy.
There is no difference without comparison. Will the young lady feel that she is not useful in the future?
Shuangtao carefully covered Yu Tang and Xiangshi with the thin quilt, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
There is a direct waterway from Hangzhou City to Suzhou, which is very convenient, and it only takes seven or eight hours to go down the river~IndoMTL.com~. So many people take the night boat, board the boat in the evening, sleep one night, and arrive the next morning. After finishing my business in Suzhou City, I happened to take the evening boat back to Hangzhou. Not delaying things and saving one night’s accommodation fee.
Yutang and the others were no exception. They first took a boat to Hangzhou, then transferred to a boat from Hangzhou, and arrived in Suzhou overnight.
However, they will stay in Suzhou for two nights before going back.
According to what Yu Yuan said, I have to come and see the lacquerware shops in Suzhou.
Su Yang’er, Su Yang’er, even the nobles in the palace will find ways to get some Suzhou goods for use. This may be the reason why although Hangzhou is closer to Ningbo, there are more people from Suzhou doing maritime business.
After taking the boat for a day and a night, both Yu Tang and Xiangshi were as wilted as boiled beans.
Yu Yuan, the brother who had a wife and forgot about his sister, took the lead in helping Xiangshi. Looking at Xiangshi’s listless face, he said with concern: “Are you okay? I’ll hire a sedan chair right away. You My sister and I will go to the inn to rest first, and I will go shopping with you after Hepinggui buys something.”
Ms. Xiang had nothing to do with this silly husband. She was afraid that she would break her husband’s heart by throwing away her hands, and she was also afraid that she would make her sister-in-law feel uncomfortable if she continued to be around her husband like this, so she had no choice but to wink at Yu Yuan and said: “I’m not tired. Go and support my sister. I’m fine!”
Only then did Yu Yuan think of Yu Tang and said “Oh” disapprovingly, but did not let go of Xiangshi. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Yu Tang who was walking behind Xiangshi and said, “Are you okay? Do you want me to hold you up?”
