Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 124
Li Qinyuan originally thought that they should go directly to Lu’s business or restaurants when discussing business. How could he have thought that Zhou Song would take him directly to Lu’s house, but although he had doubts in his heart, he still looked calm and stable. , I didn’t even ask a question.
It’s a leisurely stroll from the start.
It seems that I am not here to discuss business, but a distinguished guest invited by this family.
He also met many people along the way, the young servant and the maid. Everyone looked at him with a hint of curiosity and surprise. Even Zhou Song, who was leading him, was a little surprised.
He is the owner who knows this Defeng firm.
This year is only eighteen. I heard that they are from the Wei State Government House in the capital. In the past few months, their reputation in Lin’an is not small. I can’t help but admire them. After all, they are the people who came out of the noble family. This kind of aura is different from others.
Thinking of this, the respect on his face became a little bit more respectful.
As they walked, the colleagues said politely: “No wonder Boss Li, the owner is old now, and he doesn’t like to go to shops, let alone those restaurants. This can only invite you to the house.”
Li Qinyuan nodded and said indifferently: “It’s okay.”
Zhou Song didn’t say any more, and he did his best to lead others until he reached a long corridor. Then he stopped and arched his hands to a man in a white shirt not far away: “My boss, boss Li is here. .”
Hear the words.
Li Qinyuan also stopped and looked not far away.
Half-rolled bamboo curtains are hung on both sides of the promenade with carved murals. Under the corridor, an old man is holding a birdcage in his hand and is teasing the birds with a feather. The man is about fifty years old and his hair is gray. He was still full of energy, and didn’t look back when he heard the sound, just teasing his baby bird.
What kind of person has Li Qinyuan not seen in the past few months?
At this time, I didn’t feel I was left out, and I bowed to a junior salute over there, shouting, “Uncle Lu.”
After teasing the sound of the bird, the promenade suddenly left only the chirping sound of the bird.
The surname of the old man in the white shirt was Lu, with a single name. He was the owner of the Huiyi silk and satin shop and the head of the Lu family. He handed the bird cage in his hand to the person next to him, and then turned around and back. He proceeded, looking lightly at Li Qinyuan, “What do you call me?”
Li Qinyuan replied with a respectful and gentle voice: “My grandfather once told me about the past. He said that he had a brother of the opposite sex, whose surname was Lu, who had a straightforward temperament and was his best friend. Unfortunately, he has rarely seen each other since he went to the capital. Up.”
Listening to him talk about the old things in the past, Lu Xue’s face was slightly moved, but he was back to the original in a flash.
Still looking at him indifferently, the tone is neither salty nor light, “Co-author Boss Li is not here to discuss business today, but to recognize relatives?”
Zhou Song’s face turned pale when he heard this. He knew the temperament of his host, the weather was uncertain, and he did business with his own pleasure. If it weren’t for their Lu family’s roots in Shaoxing, it would be the temperament of the host…
Although this boss Li is young, there is a state government behind him, and he can’t easily offend him.
Just wanted to add a few words to slow down the atmosphere, but before he opened his mouth, Li Qinyuan on the other side had already replied: “Uncle wants to shout, and business is about to be discussed.” His face was always calm, and he talked about it. The words are still not rushed.
After finishing speaking, he bowed his hand to others, “I saw it as an uncle just now, and it was a gift for a younger generation, but now it seems to be a business partner, and it is a common gift.”
His attitude was completely different twice.
The younger generations are respectful when they salute, but they are polite but arrogant when they usually salute.
After a brief silence, there was a sudden burst of wanton laughter from the corridor. Lu Xue walked towards Li Qinyuan with a big smile, patted his hand on the shoulder, and said with a smile: “You kid, you are much better than your grandfather’s old scholar. .”
“To my taste.”
Then he shouted: “Come here, bring me wine!”
The old servant answered, and Lu Xue took the people to the stone table outside.
The Lu family’s staff was quick and quick, and soon they brought fruit and wine. Zhou Song, who was standing by Hou, poured the drinks for the two of them, and waited aside. Lu Xue was drinking while watching Li Qinyuan and said, “When you were a kid, I also saw you, and your mother took you home to worship the ancestors. I happened to be in Lin’an, so I met.”
After finishing speaking, he touched his chin again, “But you are not at all like when you were a kid, I almost didn’t recognize it just now.”
Li Qinyuan held the wine cup and said amusedly: “Why not?”
“You would be the same as your father, with a straight face all day long, like a little staid, looking at it makes people headache, your mother even asked me to hold you, I don’t want it.” Lu Xue took a sip of the drink. , Alcohol enters the throat, saying disgustingly.
Then he looked at Li Qinyuan and laughed, “I didn’t expect you to be…”
He probably couldn’t think of how to describe it. He touched his chin while looking at the people, and said, “Anyway, your temper is to my taste, come and drink.”
He doesn’t talk about business.
Li Qinyuan didn’t say anything. He smiled and drank with others. After drinking three pots of wine, Lu Xue didn’t know what happened to him. He suddenly sighed, “I met your grandfather. He likes to read, but I don’t. these things.”
“Later, he passed the fame test and went to the capital without continuing Defeng. I didn’t see him much anymore.”
“I heard that he had an accident that time, I hurried to the capital, but…” His voice suddenly became choked, and even his eyes were filled with tears, “He was gone before I arrived. .”
Li Qinyuan also became silent when he heard people talk about his grandfather.
He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said nothing, until he heard the question of his grandmother, and then replied in a steady tone: “After my grandfather’s accident, my grandmother and uncle went to another place, but I received a letter from my uncle a while ago. They have returned to Beijing.”
“Oh, it’s not easy for your uncle.”
Lu Xue sighed, “A child who used to be Zhong Lingxiu, after this catastrophe, I don’t know what it has become.” Unable to talk about this, he asked someone, “I heard that there was a problem with your previous cloth?”
“Ok.”
Li Qinyuan didn’t hide it.
In the business field, it’s spreading ten to one hundred, even if the distance is far apart, there is always a way to know, “I encountered a sea wave during the transportation, and the cloth was soaked in water, so it’s all useless.”
Lu Xue didn’t say anything, just asked, “How did you do it later?”
Li Qinyuan said bluntly: “A friend from the capital brought me over two hundred horses, and went to the embroidery workshop to make some. The rest asked businesses in several surrounding cities to buy some at a high price.”
“Nearby Cities?”
Lu Xue frowned, “Why didn’t you buy it in Lin’an?” After saying that, before Li Qinyuan could answer, he understood it himself, and scolded, “That group of pickled people will only do these things.”
Li Qinyuan smiled, but he didn’t care about it. “This is the business world, there is nothing to say.”
“You can figure it out.” Lu Xue curled his lips, raised his eyes and glanced at others. “Then not only did you not make a profit this time, but you also posted a lot, don’t you feel bad?”
“It’s not heartache, it’s naturally fake, but -” Li Qinyuan smiled, put the wine in his hand on the table, and looked at the person and said: “The most important thing in business is credibility. Since I promised you, I will be as expected. Delivery, then no matter whether there is a loss or not, I have to deliver on the date.”
“Money can be earned slowly, but credibility and reputation cannot be thrown away.”
“Defeng is the property of the Shen family. Now that I take over, I naturally have to uphold the will of my ancestors.”
“it is good!”
Lu Xue shouted, and patted Li Qinyuan’s shoulder heavily. He didn’t look like an old man. He blushed and his neck was thick and excited. “At the beginning, Defeng was so prestigious in Jiangnan. It was because of his reputation. I thought it would be a lifetime. I didn’t see it, I didn’t expect…”
His face was happy, his gray beard trembled with excitement, and he said to himself: “You are a good one, Defeng will give it to you, so I can rest assured, your grandfather… can also rest assured.”
At the door of Lu’s house.
Lu Xue personally sent people out, there was a lot of retention between words, “Really not staying at home for a few more days?”
Li Qinyuan smiled, but refused, “There is still something to do this time, I will see you again when I have a chance next time.”
In this way, Lu Xue didn’t hold back.
Just remembering something, he asked: “I remember you weren’t married yet?”
Hearing this, Li Qinyuan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were involuntarily looked at the carriage, his brows were soft, and his voice was not consciously softer, “Not yet.”
“Okay, I happen to have a granddaughter in my family, who is sixteenth year old. I am not bragging. Although my granddaughter is from a merchant, it is not worse than those official ladies. If it weren’t for her to accompany her grandmother to go out to worship the Buddha It just happens to allow you to meet up.”
The more Lu Xue said, the more he felt that this matter was feasible.
They Lu and Shen have been in love for decades. At the beginning, he wanted his son to marry the daughter of the Shen family. Who would have thought that the child of the Shen family would marry Li Censhen later. He has been depressed for a long time, but he did not expect that now He has a relationship with the descendants of the Shen family. Although he is not surnamed Shen, he still has half blood.
“If you don’t wait, my granddaughter is probably coming soon.”
“If you are really not free, I will take her to Lin’an in a few days and let you see each other.” He was so excited that he wanted to make a decision on the spot, making Li Qinyuan laugh and cry, “Uncle, really don’t need it.”
“Why?” Lu Xue frowned, “Could it be that you dislike her for being a businessperson and not worthy of you?”
Li Qinyuan hurriedly said, “Naturally not.”
“Why is that?” Lu Xue was still unhappy.
Li Qinyuan smiled and cast another look at the carriage, his voice softened, “I already have someone I like.”
“what?”
Lu Xue was taken aback for a moment, and Xu was aware of Li Qinyuan’s gaze, and he followed the people to look at the carriage over there. Thinking of what Zhou Song had said in private, he understood in his heart, and smiled, “It turns out. That’s it, that’s all.”
“When you are free in the future, remember to be a guest at home.”
Naturally, Li Qinyuan had no reason to be unreasonable, and he gave another salute to the younger generation, “It’s windy outside, uncle go in.”
Lu Xue nodded, did not say anything, turned and walked towards the mansion… After Li Qinyuan and others left, they walked to the carriage. Lin Qing and others wanted to salute him. He raised his hand to stop them and let them silence. Lifting the driving curtain forward, I saw Gu Wuyou leaning on the soft couch and sleeping soundly.
I don’t know if the carriage is sultry, her small face looks a little red, and there is a trace of sweat on her nose.
Close the curtain, Li Qinyuan wiped the sweat from his face distressedly.
I thought my movements were gentle enough, but I didn’t expect it to wake people up. His watery eyes opened gently. Gu Wuyou looked at Li Qinyuan in a daze, rubbed his eyes, “Are you back?”
“Ai.”
Li Qinyuan responded softly, fearing that she would be uncomfortable lying down, leaned forward and took the person into her arms, pressed her sour back, and asked softly: “Isn’t you just letting you go out for a stroll?”
“You are not here, I don’t bother to go shopping alone.”
Gu Wuyou just woke up, without any strength, let him lean in his arms, waited for a sip of the tea he handed over, and his throat was moisturized, then asked, “How?”
“It’s done.”
Speaking of this, Li Qinyuan couldn’t help but smile a little. This was the first big order he had completed by himself, and he could even have a long-term cooperation with the Lu family in the future. The future can be expected… He has to show it outside. The deputy boss’s calm appearance can’t be overjoyed, but in front of Gu Wuyou, he is not so particular.
This will bury his face on his shoulders, his tone of voice is soft, with a little coquettish meaning, “Gu Wuyou, am I good?”
“Super awesome!” Gu Wuyou said as he kissed him very loudly, with a bright smile in his eyes, and he looked a little bit more happy than Li Qinyuan.
When the two lingered in the carriage for a while, Lin Qing asked outside, “My boss, shall we go back to Lin’an now, or?”
Thinking that there were people outside, he was arguing with Li Qinyuan in the carriage just now. Gu Wuyou’s face blushed, struggling to get off the person, but Li Qinyuan did not let go, still holding the person firmly in his arms, and Lin Qing said: “You go back first. I will stay in Shaoxing for a few more days.”
Lin Qing was worried about their comfort and hesitated, “It’s better to let the other brothers leave first, and your subordinates will accompany you and your wife.”
“No.” Li Qinyuan caressed Gu Wuyou’s voice, with a calm tone, “You go back to help Xu Yonghe Cong Yu, if something happens, I will naturally write to you.”
in this way.
Lin Qing didn’t say much any more, and gave a soft reply, and then led the other guards to the gate of the city first. After they left, the coachman asked respectfully, “My boss, where are we going now?”
Long before he came, Li Qinyuan asked someone to inquire about it, and then said: “Go to the Xianheng Inn on the Xianheng Road.”
“Yes.”
The coachman answered, found a passer-by and asked the direction of “Xianheng Road”, and hurried over there, while in the carriage, Li Qinyuan was talking about the arrangements for these days with Gu Wuyou, “Let’s take a break at the inn today. , I’ll take you on a awning boat and eat stinky tofu tomorrow.”
This was originally just a casual mention by Gu Wuyou at the beginning, but he actually remembered it all.
There seemed to be a gleaming light surging in her eyes, she was holding his sleeve, feeling extremely soft in her heart, and her voice was soft, “Li Qinyuan, you are so kind.”
Li Qinyuan smiled and stroked her head.
This little idiot, his kindness to her is far inferior to what she has given, but he didn’t say that he only held people firmly in his arms.
A few days later.
Sure enough, Li Qinyuan kept his promise and took Gu Wuyou to play everything he wanted to play.
It is May, and the weather is getting hotter than before. The two of them just returned to the inn after shopping this day, and they will return to Lin’an tomorrow. Gu Wuyou bought a lot of things, some of which are unique to Shaoxing. She intends to go back and let someone take it to her home.
Li Qinyuan followed him with a big bag and a small bag.
When the innkeeper saw them coming in, he greeted them with a smile, “Are the two nobles dining in the restaurant or going out today?”
A few days ago, both of them went out to eat. Today…Li Qinyuan looked down at Gu Wuyou and asked her, “Are you going to eat in the store or go out?”
“In the shop.”
Gu Wuyou looked at him and said, “I am tired from shopping today, and I plan to go to bed earlier after eating.”
“Okay.” Li Qinyuan has always been in charge of her, and then said to the shopkeeper: “The shopkeeper will prepare the food for us, and we will come down after we put the food.”
“okay.”
The shopkeeper responded with a smile.
When the two of them finished putting their things, they refurbished them again, and the little two from outside knocked on the door, saying that dinner was ready, Li Qinyuan responded and walked downstairs with Gu Wuyou, but he still didn’t leave. When I arrived in the lobby, I heard someone say from below, “I heard that the horse merchant from the Western Regions has recently come to our Great Week, and he said he needs someone to cooperate.”
