Delicate Flower Chapter 139: Be a guest
Jiang Chao's fair face turned red, and he whispered: "Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival soon? I was thinking about how I should come and say thank you to you and Mr. Wu. Who knew that I took the wrong boat and arrived? It’s already August 15th in Lin’an.”
Yu Wen did not doubt that he was there, and pulled him enthusiastically and said: "Then stay at my place first. Today I also made an appointment with Brother Wu to eat crabs together. He also has his fifty-year-old daughter Hong there. As for us, Today we only talk about romance, not business. If there are any difficulties or bad things, we can wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Jiang Chao’s eyes turned red.
Yu Wen loudly called A Tiao to help Jiang Chao clean up the guest room.
Jiang Chao thanked him repeatedly.
A Tiao retreated with Jiang Chao's servant.
Yu Wen asked about the boss of Ningbo Palace.
Jiang Chao looked frustrated and said: "Boss Wang was forced to have no choice. His boss's youngest son suddenly fell in love with the brother-in-law of a scholar and politician in Zhejiang. The government turned a blind eye to this matter. . I used to think that as long as I worked hard, I could save some money. Now I know that saving some money is not that easy."
The world has been at peace for a long time, and there are many wealthy and powerful families that have stood for a hundred years and even dominated one area since the previous dynasty. Newcomers who want to take the lead will compete with these people for profit. To succeed, the right time, right place, and the right people are indispensable.
Yu Wen understood what he was about to say and sighed to comfort him: "Don't be discouraged. In the past thirty years in Hedong and in the thirty years in Hexi, many wealthy and aristocratic families have declined."
Jiang Chao nodded and said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to try so hard to get involved in this business."
Everyone knows that it is difficult to do business at sea, but if you can find a way out, it will be a very profitable business in the future. You will be among the rich in a few years, and things will be easier to handle in the future.
While the two were talking, A Tiao quietly walked behind the screen where Yu Tang and Chen were hiding, and whispered: "Madam, Miss, Mr. Jiang doesn't even have any luggage."
Ms. Chen was shocked, looked at Yu Tang and said, "What, what should I do?"
Yu Tang guessed that Jiang Chao was probably blocked by debt collectors and couldn't stay, so he had no choice but to give Lin'an a try.
However, there are some things that her father doesn't care about anymore, and she has nothing to worry about.
She pulled Chen out of the hall, stood under the eaves and whispered to her mother: "Since Dad has decided to help Mr. Jiang, let's not make it difficult for him. Why not pretend not to know and give Mr. Jiang some money?" Buy some clothes and send him away quietly."
Yu Tang didn't know if Jiang Chao had encountered such a thing in his previous life, but judging from Jiang Chao's actions these days, Jiang Chao had lived up to his reputation in his previous life. Then he can't always hide in Lin'an. He will definitely go out and find a way to turn around, so why should they be that villain?
In her previous life, many people helped her when she was in trouble. She should also be kind to others and help others as much as she can.
Ms. Chen felt that what Yu Tang said made sense, so she went to open a dowry and get some money for A Tiao.
Yu Wen didn’t know anything about this.
But Jiang Chao, whose heart strings had tightened since entering this hall, could see clearly.
There is someone behind the screen, if it is not a female member of the Yu family, it is the friend who was just talking to Mr. Yu here. The boy who led him in went to arrange his guest room, but at this time he went behind the screen. In all likelihood, he found that he had no luggage and asked the person behind the screen to show him. The person behind the screen should be Mrs. Yu. .
I just don’t know if Mrs. Yu is wearing a dark green eight-panel skirt or a white one-piece skirt?
Most of the people wearing white skirts are maids.
The Yu family should have noticed his embarrassment.
Will Mr. Yu find an excuse to kick him out? Or will he take him in for a few days as he expected?
Jiang Chao was in a mess, but he kept his head down as he drank tea.
Master Wu came over quickly after getting the letter. Because of Jiang Chao, their original plan for the two families to enjoy the moon, drink wine and eat crabs together in the yard was disrupted, and became Master Wu, Yu Wen, and Yu Bo. , Yu Yuan, Jiang Chao and Mr. Wu's two sons were drinking wine, admiring the moon and eating crabs in the front patio, while the female relatives of the Yu family and the Wu family had a table in the backyard.
Mrs. Wu also knew about the failure of the share purchase. She had never had the opportunity to get together with Mr. Chen before. At this time, she couldn't help but hold Chen's hand and talk about it: "If you are willing to give up, if you don't give up, there is no gain. What's more, this family business was originally earned by their men. When we were making money, we laughed and laughed. They felt sad because they lost money, let alone made sarcastic remarks. I thought I was the only one like this, but I didn't expect my brothers and sisters. He is more generous than me and even invites our family to eat crabs. I would like to offer a toast to my brothers and sisters." After that, he took the Jinhua wine in front of him.
Yu Tang couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wu with admiration.
Her words were clearly intended to persuade Mrs. Chen.
In the past, Yu Tang only thought that she was a well-rounded person who was good at dancing. He didn't expect that she had such magnanimity and magnanimity. No wonder everyone liked to invite her to be a Quanfu person.
She offered Mrs. Wu a glass of wine with conviction.
But Mrs. Wu seemed to catch her and started talking about her marriage.
Yu Tang was sitting on pins and needles.
Ms. Wang chuckled and came to her niece's rescue: "Her matter is not urgent. The most important thing is to find someone she likes."
Mrs. Wu nodded with a smile. Seeing that Mr. Xiang was just sitting there drinking tea and eating mooncakes, she enthusiastically picked up a crab and put it in Mr. Xiang's bowl. She said, "You should try it too. This crab is really worth buying." Good, crab meat is delicious and very rare."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiang looked at Mr. Wang for help.
Wang's eyes and brows were filled with joy, and she said: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Wu, but my wife here has to pay attention to her diet these days. Crabs are cold in nature and she dare not eat them. When this time next year, I will invite everyone to eat crabs. Banquet."
Mrs. Wu was surprised, but soon she was as happy as Mr. Wang, saying "congratulations" and "don't forget this time next year".
"Definitely, definitely!" Wang's face was filled with joy, but Xiangshi lowered her head in embarrassment.
Yu Tang was confused.
Ms. Chen then smiled and touched her daughter's head and said, "Fool, you are going to be an aunt soon."
Yu Tang suddenly realized.
No wonder Yu Yuan hesitated to speak, no wonder the eldest aunt came to the house to borrow cloth...
Yu Tang said "Oh!" and blamed Xiangshi: "My sister-in-law didn't even tell me."
Xiangshi blushed even more and said in surprise: "It's just been three months..."
In his previous life, Yu Yuan had no heirs.
In this life, she and Yu Yuan can both be parents.
Her eyes wet, she picked up the wine glass and asked to respect Xiangshi.
Ms. Chen smiled and took Yu Tang's wine glass, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are confused. How can your sister-in-law drink at this time? If I had known better, I should have told you some time later."
Mrs. Wu and others laughed.
Yu Tang drank a few more drinks for the first time, and his steps were a little unsteady when he returned to the room.
Jiang Chao, however, was drunk and conscious. He returned to the guest room and drank two cups of strong tea. He finally sobered up a little and immediately asked the boy who was still busy making tea for him: "What did the Yu family say? ?"
The boy said hurriedly: "I didn't say anything. I also brought some clothes and twenty taels of silver for the master on the order of their wife. They said they were for the master to celebrate the festival. I also got one tael of silver." Reward."
He is indeed a kind person.
Jiang Chao let out a long breath.
I was being chased for debts these days, and I didn’t even dare to go back home for fear of injuring my mother. I didn’t even have the money to give some festive gifts to the Yu family and the Wu family.
This kindness can only be repaid later.
He thought of the green and white skirt behind the screen.
They are all kind-hearted people.
He thought vaguely, not knowing when he fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, it was already bright and it was already three o'clock in the morning. The boy was sitting on his bed boredly. In a daze before.
"Ah Zhou." He called the boy.
A Zhou was startled and immediately stood up and said: "Master, are you okay! Master Yu came here early in the morning. Seeing that you were still resting, he didn't wake you up. He just said, "Let's go." After you wake up and have breakfast, go to the study, where he and Mr. Wu are waiting for you."
Jiang Chao rubbed his temples and then remembered that Yu Wen invited him to visit Lin'an City at the banquet yesterday.
It seemed like he got up too late.
The hangover was unpleasant. After washing his face and having breakfast, Jiang Chao didn't feel sober until he was walking on the way to Yu's library.
Yu Wen and Mr. Wu decided to accompany Jiang Chao to Zhaoming Temple first and then to Tianmu Mountain.
Jiang Chao was not in the mood to have fun, but he couldn't resist the warm welcome, so he finally took the Wu family's carriage to Zhaoming Temple.
On the way, Mr. Wu told him about Lin'an City's scenic spots and some anecdotes, including the old plum tree in the Pei family: "...the older generation said that the Enlightenment Pine in Zhaoming Temple was the They are the two oldest trees in Lin'an City, but we can't tell whether they are true or false."
Yu Wen smiled and said: "Most of them were made up by the literati. This is the first time I have heard of this statement."
Jiang Chao's heart was beating wildly, and his voice became a little sharp: "You are talking about the Pei family, right? The Pei family in Xiaomei Lane? It's the Pei family with three Jinshi in one discipline! Listen to the two brothers It sounds like you have some friendship with their family?"
Master Wu was stunned and said: "I am talking about the Pei family in Xiaomei Lane. We must know each other from the folks in Pei's hometown. But if we want to say we are familiar with each other, it must be that Master Yu is more familiar with me. They are all scholars. When Mr. Yu’s shop opened, Mr. Pei San personally congratulated it.”
This is really another village where everything is bright and clear!
Jiang Chao couldn't hold back his excitement~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "The two brothers saved my life."
Master Wu and Yu Wen looked at each other, and Jiang Chao said excitedly: "Didn't Boss Wang's boss' younger son make Boss Wang abandon his family and career just because he got involved in Zhejiang academic politics? I have been thinking about how to We cannot follow the path of the Ningbo magistrate. What the two brothers just said reminded me that instead of looking for the Ningbo magistrate away from us, we might as well invite the third master of the Pei family to come forward."
Master Wu and Yu Wen only half understood what they heard.
The two exchanged glances again.
Master Wu said carefully: "What do you mean, do you want us to ask the third master of the Pei family to help with the lawsuit? Is there some kind of friendship between the Pei family and the Ningbo prefect?"
This is all a trivial matter. What they are afraid of is that Jiang Chao suddenly came to An this time just to ask Pei Yan for help.
They are kind in dealing with others, but they are not fools and do not want to be used as a weapon!
