Originally, Gu Chengyu was worried that since he was a candidate, he would not have too much contact with Wang Tongzhi, and he also had to be careful about the prefect's wife, so it was a bit inconvenient to go. But he couldn't find anyone, so he had to go in person. Yu Pengzi was busy
When it comes to the restaurant, I am also very busy.
"Sir! If it's not convenient for you to come forward, then why not let me go!" Shopkeeper Niu thought that he would always need to take care of the restaurant's affairs, so why not take over now and establish a good relationship with Wang Tongzhi. If Gu Chengyu is not around in the future
, If you have anything to do, please ask Wang Tongzhi to take care of you, and be familiar with it!
"I plan to go in person, but you have to go with me. By the way, where is your wife? Ask her to come out. I have something to ask her!" Gu Chengyu had met the wife of Shopkeeper Niu. She was a very refreshing woman.
, what they say and do is very good, why not follow them to Tongzhi's mansion and pay a visit to Tongzhi's wife.
"What are you saying, please or not! Master, you are serious!"
Shopkeeper Niu was very happy at this time! The young master has not yet married a wife, so he has no way to enter the inner house of a wealthy family. Although the mother-in-law can come forward, she is only a servant after all. Besides, there are few people around the young master, so he
If the mother-in-law wins the favor of the young master, she can also get a job as a steward. That is also a decent job!
If they do well, the young master will not treat them badly. Of course he will be happy. Who would think that the money is too much?
"Mom? Come out!" Shopkeeper Niu shouted towards the yard behind him.
"Hey! Here we come!"
At this time, a woman wearing a crimson muslin cross-neck shirt opened the curtain from the backyard and came in. The woman's face was like a full moon, her complexion was fair, and she smiled before she spoke, which made people fall in love with her at first sight.
"Damn it! Young master and I are going to visit Master Tongzhi at his house. You can come with us to visit Mrs. Tongzhi!" Shopkeeper Niu's eyes were full of smiles when he saw his wife coming out.
"Ah? How can this be possible? I haven't seen Mrs. Guan yet!" Mrs. Lin came out and planned to salute, but was extremely surprised when she heard this.
"Auntie, just go. I've prepared the gifts and sent the greeting card. You can just go and say a few words. It won't take long before we can come back! There's nothing to be afraid of, Mrs. Guan. Show off your usual cheerfulness.
It’s so exciting!”
Gu Chengyu had no choice but to choose the Lin family. Liang's mother was in Shanhe Town. The distant water could not save the nearby fire, and there were few people around him. He was not inclined to work for him with the couple, at least not both.
Entrusted with important tasks, because they are not the ones he bought, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
"Well, since the young master said so, I'm going to give it a try!" Lin was not a timid person, but she had never dealt with Mrs. Guan before, so she felt a little timid.
"Mother, go change your clothes and pack up, we're going to leave soon!" Shopkeeper Niu then called Er Mazi to look at the inn. You have to pay a deposit first to stay in the inn, so you don't have to worry about the guests running away.
I don't want to give you any money, and it's not the time to eat, so it doesn't matter if you go away.
Besides, since the last time I caught a thief, the magistrate has been involved in so many things, so there is no reward. The business of the inn has become much more deserted than before.
Gu Chengyu looked at Mrs. Lin who had changed her clothes and came out, nodded, "Let's go!"
Gu Chengyu is the boss, so the gifts are all given by shopkeeper Niu. When going to a wealthy family, proper pomp is still required.
By the time Gu Chengyu and the others came back, it was already afternoon.
"Young master, you don't know that Mrs. Tongzhi is very kind and has no pretensions to the official wife at all!" This was the first time Lin met Mrs. Guan, and the official wife seemed to have a good impression of her and was affectionate towards her.
Yes! I also left them lunch.
Gu Chengyu smiled, is that affection for you? It should be for money, right? He gave a lot of good things. He divided the gift into two parts, one was more ordinary and was sent to the outer courtyard, and the other was a heavy gift.
Send it to the inner courtyard.
Even if Wang Tongzhi found out later and wanted to return the gifts, Mrs. Tongzhi would not be willing to part with them. Even a woman would be reluctant to part with those gifts.
As long as Mrs. Tongzhi blows some pillow wind on Wang Tongzhi and invites Wang Tongzhi to support her when the restaurant opens, then it will be done. In the future, she will take the opportunity to move around more and be more filial every year, so there is no need to worry.
.
It’s not that no one gave gifts to Wang Tongzhi and his wife in the past, but they all gave money as gifts. How could Wang Tongzhi dare to accept them? Wang Tongzhi was not so much upright as he was actually afraid of being caught.
The legitimate daughter of Wang Tongzhi's family has turned hair this year and has already made an engagement. The gifts he gave were women's jewelry, such as pearls, gold jewelry and soap. There were many of these in the space. He picked pearls of about the same size, as big as a little finger.
The big ones were sent over, which are considered rare treasures in Fucheng. He bought the gold jewelry from the shop, and he couldn't bear to touch the fine products in the space. Not to mention the soaps, they are all produced by himself, so they cost no money.
What silver.
He didn't believe that the mother was willing to return these things, instead of accepting them silently and preparing to add makeup to her daughter? Besides, he didn't ask for much, he just simply took care of them.
"Are you showing off like this, young master? I don't want to think about whose sake Mrs. Tongzhi is looking at to be nice to you?" Shopkeeper Niu also knew that Gu Chengyu's gift was probably not a light one, so he took the gift box and walked away.
felt it.
When he got back, he wanted to tell his wife that today the Tongzhi Lord appreciated the young master very much, and also said that the magistrate also praised the young master very much. In the future, he would still work for the young master wholeheartedly, which would definitely benefit them.
Mrs. Lin was a little embarrassed when she heard this. She was indeed a little complacent.
"Look at me, who is the young master? I am just ignorant. I am so happy to meet Mrs. Guan so unexpectedly! But I don't know if today's matter has been completed?"
Wang Tongzhi entered the inner courtyard from the study and arrived at the residence of his wife, Mrs. Lian.
Lian was looking at the various gifts on the table with her daughter-in-law. She held a box of pearls in her hand, picked up a pearl inside and looked at it. These pearls are so beautiful! They are all round and smooth, and they are all about the same size. So
There was a box, made into a set of hair and facial expressions, and there were bracelets and gold hairpins inlaid with precious stones, which dazzled everyone who looked at them.
"Eh? Mother! This is Gu's fragrant soap. It costs ten yuan here! It's made with fresh flowers and added with medicinal materials. It's not cheap! Mother, who gave this to me?" You know the added ones?
Good medicinal materials with good effects cost five taels of silver per piece!
"Why is your girl asking for these? If I add these to your dowry, the dowry won't be shabby anymore. I'll use these pearls to make a pullover for you, and any leftovers will be made into other jewelry!"
Seeing that her daughter was happy, Mrs. Liao also laughed. She had been with the master for so many years, but she hadn't saved much money. The prospective son-in-law's family came from a scholarly family. This is a nice thing to say. There were many people in the family, and life would be very difficult. If it weren't for
She saw that her son-in-law's future would be good, otherwise she would not marry her legitimate daughter to such a family.
