When Song Qiu heard this, he couldn't help but want to slap his forehead.
She had thought about these things before, hadn't she?
I was so busy that I almost didn’t care about it.
But with Uncle Du's temperament, he actually opened his mouth. Is this because he was chosen?
Song Qiu raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with gossipy fire.
"Uncle Du has someone you like?"
Speaking of Zhongyi, Du Chuanfu's face seemed to turn even redder. He scratched his head in confusion, but quickly calmed down, and then nodded slowly, "What do you think, Miss Zou, of Shopkeeper Zou?"
Hearing this, Song Qiu almost stopped laughing, but she held it back, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oops, before she fell in love with Mr. Zou, firstly because she was literate and knew the rules, and secondly, she thought she was the right age and a good match for Uncle Du!
Unexpectedly, due to fate, Uncle Du himself also fell in love with Zou in the past few days.
She looked up and down at Uncle Du. He was tall and had good facial features. Even though there was a scar, he didn't look sinister. Instead, he looked more masculine.
He has a good temper, is considerate, doesn't talk much, and does practical things.
How suitable to be a husband!
Well, no matter how you look at it, it matches the Zou family very well.
However, she still doesn't know what Mr. Zou thinks.
But when Du Chuanfu mentioned this, her mind suddenly flashed and she thought of something else.
Now that the new house has been completed, such a large house is different from the small wooden house in the past. It needs to be cleaned every day, and the door needs to be guarded at all times.
Otherwise, if people come in and out, and someone knocks on the door outside, the handle may be broken and no one can hear it inside.
And if there are too many people, there needs to be a charter to control it, otherwise it will be a mess and there will be no sense in it.
She often has to run outside and doesn't have this time.
She didn't stop her job as a midwife, she had to go out from time to time, and at home, she had an easy-going temperament and couldn't care about those people.
Therefore, there must be someone in charge of this house.
The inner court needs people, and the outer court also needs people.
Song Qiu had long thought that Uncle Du would often follow her, and she was used to it. Then she would move back from the inn, live in the front yard, and work as a housekeeper.
As for the inner court, her heart actually belonged to the Zou family first.
Zou has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she can't fault the rules. If she is asked to take charge of the affairs of the inner house, she will definitely be fine.
This will also give her peace of mind.
After all, she doesn't understand some rules as well as Zou.
It's just that when I bought her back, I said she would be willing to work in the shop. Now I want her to work in the house as a housekeeper. I don't know if she is willing.
But if she could marry Uncle Du, it would be a matter of course for her to live in the house together.
So this matter really depends on whether Mr. Zou has any thoughts about Uncle Du.
The more Song Qiu thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.
Immediately he said: "Uncle Du, don't worry, wait until I go to the shop to find out what she says."
Du Chuanfu nodded, thought of something, and smiled, "No rush, little kid, just ask."
Seeing him like that, Song Qiu always felt that there was something she missed and didn't know.
She couldn't understand it now, but when she got to the shop and saw Mrs. Zou, she would understand.
The dessert shop's business is not that bad now. It's far from being as popular as it was at the beginning. It actually looks a little deserted.
But customers gradually came one after another, two in this room and one in that room. Before closing, the desserts made every day were always sold out.
In fact, there were still some leftovers in those two days, so they couldn't waste them. Song Qiu had already told Mrs. Yang that if there were any leftovers, they would be given to the beggars squatting in the alley by the back door after closing time.
It's also strange, since her shop opened, according to Ms. Zou, there have always been beggars squatting around the shop every day.
The man behind the door was squatting in the alley, quietly, as if that was his den, and he wouldn't move around all day long.
But the person in front of the door was squatting far away in the alley across the street. The shop door was open and he was there. He kept staring at the shop and would not leave until it closed. When Zou first found out, he thought there was going to be trouble and told Yang Dalian to be alert.
After waiting for a few days, I realized that people were staring at me, but they didn't make any extra moves.
In addition to the beggars, there were several gangsters walking back and forth in front of the shop every day, which made Ms. Zou worried. Fortunately, she knew that the manager of the Fan family of her shop had spoken to her, and there were also Mr. Lu and Mr. Song from Tongfang shop.
Shopkeeper, these people are covering you, so no gangsters should dare to come and cause trouble.
In short, the dessert shop is ordinary every day. It opens early for business and closes at midnight. Everyone in the shop is also very skilled.
When Song Qiu arrived, there were no customers in the shop. There happened to be a customer who bought desserts and took them away. Zou paid the bill and when she saw the girl coming, she hurried out of the counter and came here.
Song Qiu sat down on the bench and lay down comfortably against the back of the chair. Seeing that A Ling was looking at the desserts on the shelf with her hands behind her back but couldn't come over, she asked Xi Mei'er to get her a plate of desserts.
Aling got the dessert, brought it over happily, and sat at another table to eat without disturbing Song Qiu's work.
Song Qiu doesn't eat desserts, so Xi Mei'er brews a cup of juice tea for her according to her preference every time she comes.
Song Qiu asked her to bring a cup to Du Chuanfu, who was talking to Yang Dalian at the door, and then looked away and looked up at Zou, "Sit down."
The dessert shop prepares its accounts once a month, and today is not the time yet.
Zou sat down and only reported on the situation of the shop these days.
While Song Qiu was listening, she looked at Zou without any trace. As she looked, she was stunned because of the earrings on Zou's ears.
They were a pair of cashmere flower-wrapped earrings wrapped in gold wire, which looked very familiar to her.
If I remember correctly, at the jewelry shop in the county town that day, among the dozens of pairs of new designs that had just arrived, there was exactly this pair of earrings.
At that time, she picked it up and looked at it. The lady said that it was a new style and there were only three pairs in the entire county.
The Zou family is in Panshi Town and has never been to the county.
Song Qiu's eyebrows moved and he couldn't help turning his head to glance at Du Chuanfu over there.
Oops.
So that’s it.
Her face curved suspiciously, then turned back abruptly.
After hearing Zou's words, she paused and nodded, indicating that she understood. Then her style changed, revealing a frown in deep thought.
"Ruyi, you have been in the palace and have a lot of experience. I, there is something that has been lingering in my heart recently. I don't know what to do and what kind of regulations should be.
, I wonder if I can ask you to help me think about it?"
Zou had been under Song Qiu's care for so long, and this was the first time she saw the girl showing such an expression, as if she was really stumped by something terrible.
As a servant, she should share her master's worries. This was a deep-rooted understanding that she had ingrained in her heart for so many years in the palace.
She was very curious, but she didn't dare to make excuses. She sat upright and said warmly: "If you want to help the girl solve her problems, please tell her in detail."
