Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 130

Late June.

In an inn near the border of Lin’an.

There was a sudden heavy rain this afternoon, and it didn’t stop from the evening until the night. People from the south and the north are not able to drive, so they can only stay here and rest. There are more people and there are more topics to talk about. … With the raindrops outside on the ground or the “da da” sound from the eaves, what they talked about most was the business of the horse merchant in the Western Regions.

“Jinling was really lively not long ago. I heard that not only the imperial court sent officials, but also the imperial merchants and the presidents of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.”

“So lively?”

Some people wondered, “Could it be that there are some rare treasures waiting for them to fight for?”

“It’s not a rare treasure, but it’s rarer than that treasure.” The middle-aged man who spoke first smiled and sold it. When everyone else turned their eyes, he stroked his long beard and asked with a smile. : “Did you hear earlier that the horse merchant from the Western Regions wanted to find someone to cooperate with?”

“Naturally I heard.”

Someone reacted: “Oh, yes, the Western Region horse merchant heard that his ancestral home was in Jinling, is it possible…” Seeing that old **** was there, everyone else was anxious, and hurriedly urged: “How, how, finally Who is the flower?”

Someone said: “The court has come forward, so naturally it is with the court.”

Some people also retorted: “It’s not necessarily. I heard that the horse merchant has a very good position in the Western Regions. If he really wants to cooperate with our court, the Western Regions royal family will directly come forward and pass a paper into the palace. Why is it so troublesome? “

After guessing for a long time, I didn’t know what the result was. Someone urged the middle-aged man, “Oh, you can say it quickly, don’t sell it.”

The man smiled, but stopped selling the bar. The people around him poured wine for him and slapped him twice. Then he said: “You all guessed wrong, the boss of Han chose Lin’an as a Defeng company. .”

“Defeng Company?”

Someone was shocked and said: “Which industry is this, how come I have never heard of it.”

Many of the inn were merchants who went north and south, but they knew all the companies that had been named in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but this Defeng, they looked at each other and saw something in the eyes of the other person. At a loss, obviously not clear.

But there was an elderly man who pondered for a while and said, “Did you mean the Shen family in Lin’an?”

“Lin’an Shen’s house?”

The younger generation were a little embarrassed, “How come I don’t know that Lin’an still has such a family.”

The middle-aged man who had started with a smile smiled and arched his hands with the old gentleman, and replied: “The old gentleman is right, it is the Linan Shen’s house.” He walked over with the wine jug and poured the old gentleman himself. Drinking a drink, “But I’m not familiar with the Shen family, but the old gentleman will help us solve the puzzle.”

The old man smiled, but did not refuse, drank a sip of hot wine and said, “You are still young, I don’t know that Linan Defeng is normal.”

“But decades ago, this Defeng firm was not only in Lin’an, but also very famous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.” Against the backdrop of the candlelight, the old gentleman had a little nostalgia in his eyes, “Shen Jia My ancestors have been doing business in Lin’an, and the old man of the Shen family was originally the president of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.”

“In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce under his leadership, it was not only a well-developed business, every business company kept in mind ‘integrity’, ‘benevolence and justice’, so at that time the business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was well-known throughout the country.”

“It’s not like now for those petty gains, you drive me away, I drive you away, for fear that others will steal my business.”

Speaking of this, the old gentleman’s face showed some mockery.

“What happened later?” Someone said anxiously, “What happened to Defeng later? Why is there no news at all now.”

“Later…”

Accompanied by the sound of the rain, the old gentleman’s voice seemed a little dull, “After the death of the old man, his only son had no intention of doing business, so he chose to go to Beijing for scientific research. Later, Shen’s family members went to the capital. The side branches left behind are also the masters who don’t care for petty profits.”

Speaking of the last time, the old man’s voice was also dumb, as if he couldn’t bear the decline of such a grand occasion, or lamented that the foundation laid down by the predecessors was now ruined into this appearance.

“When you say this, I have some impressions of the Shen family.” Someone answered, “In the 16th year of Qingxi, Cheng Shen Hanshi was reprimanded by the current son and deprived of the official position. Later his son Shen Shao High School champion… If it were me I remember that, right now, the left and right deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is this Xiaoxianggong Shen.”

The old man nodded and sighed: “This is the Shen family.”

Knowing that this is the Shen family, many people suddenly realized, “If you say these two Shen Xianggong, I have some impressions. That Shen Daxianggong originally convicted your majesty because of the scapegoat Liu Shuzhong’s words, he was also a tough one. With a temper, he took off his official hat in front of a hundred officials, suffered a 30-year-old slap, and died of illness when he returned. He refused to close his eyes when he heard that he died.”

“At that time, everyone thought that the Shen family was going to fall. They didn’t expect that his son was a high school champion and was appointed outside by His Majesty. Now he is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Because of this, no one spoke for a long time in the inn.

Even the man and the woman sitting in the most corner stopped eating. Gu Wuyou wearing a drapery hat looked at Li Qinyuan with his eyebrows and lips curled. He was worried, put down his chopsticks and shook his hand.

Li Qinyuan recovered, gave her a smile, and shook her hand back, “It’s okay.”

“Hey, weren’t you talking about the Defeng business and the horse business in the Western Regions? How did you get so far? Since the Shen family is no longer in business, why did Defeng get into that horse business’s eyes?”

The middle-aged man laughed, “Your news is still delayed.”

“A few months ago, the grandson of the Shen family came to Lin’an to take charge of Defeng again. This is also a great man. He cleaned up Defeng a few months ago and talked about cooperation with the boss Lu of the silk and satin shop in Shaoxing. In the eyes of that boss Han again, I’m afraid that the sky of Lin’an will change in a short time.”

…

After Yu Hou, everyone was lamenting the new owner of Defeng.

Gu Wuyouer sitting in the corner listened to their praise of Li Qinyuan, and couldn’t help but prop up his chin and bend his eyebrows. On the contrary, Li Qinyuan, the client, did not change his face. Seeing Gu Wuyou after eating, he smiled and said to her. : “Let’s go up.”

“it is good.”

Gu Wuyou smiled and nodded, letting Li Qinyuan take her hand upstairs.

When the two of them walked through the hall, many people turned their eyes to them, and they couldn’t help showing amazing expressions in their eyes. They didn’t continue to talk about this until they left, downstairs.

The next day.

The two finally arrived in Lin’an.

Fang Shou asked outside: “My boss, should I go home first or return to the company first?”

Li Qinyuan glanced at Gu Wuyou in his arms, saw her open her eyes in a daze, and asked her what she meant, “Go home first?”

“Go to the firm.” Gu Wuyou fell asleep all the way, his voice was dumb, he covered his mouth and yawned, then said, “You haven’t been back for so long. There must be a lot of things waiting for you to deal with.”

“it is good.”

Li Qinyuan nodded and said to Fang Shou, “Go to the business.”

“Yes.” Fang Shou replied softly and drove the carriage in the direction of the firm.

After a few quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped at the door of the company. Xu Yonggang was about to go out. He was startled when he saw Fang Shou. He greeted him as soon as he returned to God and said happily, “Is the owner back?”

Li Qinyuan lifted the car curtain, glanced at Xu Yong, and then smiled, “Well, I’m back.” He said as he took Gu Wuyou out of the carriage, and when Xu Yong finished his salute to them, he asked him: “How about the firm? Okay? You wrote before and said that there were no mistakes, right?”

“No.”

Xu Yong smiled and said: “You don’t know, since your cooperation with boss Lu and boss Han is set, now I don’t know how many people want to cooperate with us, right…” He followed the steps of Li Qinyuan and said as he walked in. , “Lin’an Chamber of Commerce left a post for you, saying that it is waiting for you to come back and would like to invite you to dinner.”

“Oh?”

Li Qinyuan was a little surprised, “The post made by the Chamber of Commerce in person?”

Xu Yong smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m afraid it won’t be long before someone will invite you.”

Earlier, Zhuang Zixin asked him to eat a few meals for his daughter’s affairs, but it was always in the name of a private person. It seems that this cooperation really made these people unable to sit still…

The guy in the company saw them come back and was pleasantly surprised: “My boss, ma’am, are you back?”

Li Qinyuan nodded.

Gu Wuyou is now immune to these titles, and this club nodded at them with a smile.

Just when they went to the second floor, before they finished drinking a cup of tea, someone came in outside, holding a post from the Chamber of Commerce, saying that someone had just sent it, Xu Yong took the post and asked Li Qinyuan what he meant, ” , Look?”

Li Qinyuan took the gilded post and smiled, “Their news is well-informed.”

He threw the post on the table and continued to peel the lychees to the people around him, with a lazy tone, and said casually: “Then see you.”

The banquet with the Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for the second day.

This time Li Qinyuan did not bring Gu Wuyou, leaving Lin Qing and others to protect her safety, so he went to the banquet alone.

Gu Wuyou stayed at the firm and looked at the books.

Except for Li Qinyuan, only the two chief executives, Xu Yong and Cong Yu, are qualified to look at the account books of the firm. When Li Qinyuan said this, both Xu and Cong were a little surprised. Which firm would let a woman look at these accounts, don’t If you say you haven’t married yet, you’re married, and it’s never been true.

But in the end it was the arrangement of the owner, and they did not dare to say anything.

Although Gu Wuyou doesn’t know how to do business, she has been in charge of the house for a few years in her previous life, and she has been in charge of housekeeping for a few years. She is still very good at reading books. On this day, she just finished reading a few books and wanted to ask Lin Qing to help her. Go buy some food.

She was too lazy to get out of the door on such a hot day.

Someone came to say something from outside, “Madam, the lady from President Zhuang’s house is here, saying that she wants to see you.”

Just when she heard the name, she was a little bit stunned. When she thought of the meeting in Yuxianglou last time, she reacted and groaned slightly. She said, “Is she here to buy things, or to talk?”

The dude replied: “The little one saw that she didn’t mean to buy anything.”

“Then ask her to sit next door.” Gu Wuyou said as he cleaned up the account book, and also exhorted, “Bring a pot of tea I brought from Jinling yesterday, and present some cakes to it.”

“Yes.”

After walking away, Gu Wuyou was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he was busy with the things he had at hand. Then he went to the next door with his drapery hat. The people had arrived long ago. He was well-dressed and luxurious. He was bored with a fan. Looking around, there are two maids behind him, looking at the style.

Hearing the sound, Zhuang Ru looked over.

When a woman sees a woman, she must look at her face first, but Gu Wuyou’s face is blocked tightly, with no gaps revealed. Zhuang Ru pouted, and went to look at her clothes and dress again. The best materials.

The silk yarn is as thin as a cicada’s wings, and it takes only a few dozen gold.

Li Qinyuan was really willing.

Zhuang Ru felt sour and jealous, and the ball fan in his hand was hit harder.

A guest from afar, but also at her own place, even though she didn’t know where she came from, Gu Wuyou politely called out, “Miss Zhuang.”

“Huh.” Zhuang Ru didn’t bother to pretend to be polite. He sat in a chair and didn’t call anyone. After sitting down, he asked straightforwardly, “I heard that you have been with Li Lang for the past few months. ?”

Gu Wuyou nodded.

She looked at the ledger for the whole morning, she would have been hungry, she glanced at Zhuang Ru, “If Miss Zhuang doesn’t mind, I will eat something first.” She talked about it, but in fact she just said casually. She didn’t care about others when she was hungry, and ate the cakes by herself after she finished speaking.

Zhuang Ru became even more angry when she saw her like this, and said: vulgarity.

I don’t know why Li Qinyuan fell in love with such a woman? After thinking about the shocking face that day, I figured it out again, so I might still look at the face.

Watching Gu Wuyou eating piece after piece of pastry, she wanted to mock her out loud, but she was very elegant when she ate, and she was even more polite than the official ladies she had seen before, and she mocked her. If I can’t say anything, I can only say: “Li Lang will not marry you.”

“Ok?”

Gu Wuyou was taken aback, stopped eating pastries, and looked up at her from under the drapery.

“Don’t you know what his identity is?” Zhuang Ru sneered: “He is the son of the official residence of the State of Wei. Is it possible that you really thought you would marry you?”

“And now that Li Lang is famous for thousands of miles, it is the princess princess who can marry him, you are like this…” She glanced up and down, and tweeted, “You are not qualified to be a concubine.”

What’s her identity?

Gu Wuyou looked at her blankly, and didn’t quite understand what she meant.

“Even me,” Zhuang Ru said proudly, raising his chin. “The daughter of the president of the Lin’an Chamber of Commerce can only be a concubine by his side. You…” She shook the fan in her hand and said it. His face mocked, “You, you still want to make more money while he still likes it now, so that you won’t be abandoned in the future and you won’t even be able to get any money.”

“cough……”

Gu Wuyou couldn’t help it, and coughed softly. She whispered “I’m sorry”, took a sip of tea from the side, and then looked at Zhuang Ru and asked: “Then you still want to Be his concubine?”

Zhuang Ru curled his lips and continued to slap the fan. “He is not the only one in the world as a money cow from Wei Guogong Mansion. He Li Qinyuan doesn’t like me, so I don’t want to rush to find it.”

Although she likes power and position, she still has Li Qinyuan’s face…

But there is not only one Li Qinyuan in this world.

“Then why did you come to see me today?” Gu Wuyou really didn’t understand.

She originally thought that Miss Zhuang was trying to get her away from Li Qinyuan, but now it doesn’t mean that.

Zhuang Ru was choked by her, and the ball fan in her hand also stopped. After a while, she continued to shake and fight, and said angrily: “What do you care about me?” She couldn’t tell herself, probably. Not convinced, and mixed with some jealousy, so after knowing that she came back, she couldn’t help but come to her and talk.

Now being asked directly like this, I don’t know what to say.

Taking a look at Gu Wuyou, she opened her mouth, and she couldn’t say a word, as if she had been slapped, the fan in her hand was hit harder, she stood up and rushed behind her. The two maids exclaimed: “Cuihong, Liulu, go home!”

After finishing talking, I didn’t care about Wuyou, and went straight out.

Gu Wuyou looked at her figure and shook his head funny.

Lin Qing walked in after watching people go, curled her eyebrows and asked, “Madam, are you okay?”

“It’s okay.” Gu Wuyou smiled, thinking that Miss Zhuang was quite interesting, and ordered: “Help me order some food. It’s hot outside, so I won’t go out.”

“Yes!”

A few months later.

Gu Wuyou stayed with Li Qinyuan in Lin’an, occasionally going to other places, she also accompanied people, the one-year period was not yet expired, but because of the previous cooperation with Han Jin, the capital handed a letter. When they came, the two planned to temporarily put Defeng’s business under the management of Xu Yong and Cong Yu, and they would return to Beijing first.

Around now, Defeng’s business is also up.

Even without Li Qinyuan sitting in town, Xu and Cong can solve it with years of experience.

When Yang Liu Yiyi came, when he went, the osmanthus blossoms all over the city were blooming. Lin Qing was inspecting the team to see what was missing. Li Qinyuan instructed Xu and Cong on the side, and Gu Wuyou… she was right. Talking to Zhuang Ru.

It’s also funny.

She and Zhuang Ru obviously didn’t deal with each other at first, especially Zhuang Ru. Every time she saw her, she was carrying a gun and a stick. But when she was ridiculed by several people when she went out before, this Zhuang Da who always looked at her uncomfortable. On the contrary, the young lady helped her scold those people back.

After that time, she and Zhuang Ru met several times.

“I told you before, let you take more money, you just don’t listen to me, you just don’t listen, now it’s fine, when you go to the capital, you can wait for those people to mock you.” Zhuang Ru looked at Gu Wuyou. There are cynicism, and some hate that iron can’t become steel.

Gu Wuyou smiled.

She knew that Zhuang Ru had misunderstood her identity, but for some things, it would be difficult to tell her, so she could only let her misunderstand her, “When you have time to come to the capital in the future, I will entertain you again.”

“It’s the same as the mistress of the house.”

Zhuang Ru curled his lips, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he glanced at Li Qinyuan’s direction and pulled the person aside, “Since you have to follow people with determination, you should give birth to a child as soon as possible. Not to be driven out.”

“What, what?”

Gu Wuyou squatted, his face flushed.

Zhuang Ru looked at her with a strange expression, “This is not normal. With a child, you will have a foundation. Even if he doesn’t like you in the future, you still have something to rely on.”

“I, we…” Gu Wuyou felt that her two lives had been in vain for decades. In front of a seventeen-year-old girl, she blushed because of these things. She squatted and thought. Denial, and can’t say it.

“What are you talking about?”

Li Qinyuan’s voice came from behind, and the wrist that followed her was held by someone. The man firmly guarded her behind him, and looked at Zhuang Ru with a calm face.

Zhuang Ru was greedy for his face and power, and thought he was good at everything. Now that he figured it out, he feels that this person is not good from head to toe, except for this face, which is pretty good. Just this temper, tusk, she Don’t want to wait… This will say angrily: “What do you care about me?” After saying that, he didn’t talk to Li Qinyuan, just glanced at the person behind him, “Hey, remember what I said, I’m leaving. “

He said he was leaving.

“Wait.” Gu Wuyou called her.

“Why?” Zhuang Ru stopped, but his face was still not good.

“You’re waiting for me here.” Gu Wuyou said to Li Qinyuan, and then took Zhuang Ru’s hand and walked a little bit away. When no one was around, he said, “Thank you for what you said to me, I It’s all in my heart.”

Zhuang Ru glanced at her in surprise, then said indifferently: “I just see you pitifully, don’t think too much.”

Gu Wuyou smiled, did not refute her hard-heartedness, looked at the people and said, “Actually, you don’t need to marry those family members. You look good and you have money in your family. Instead of going to those high-ranking families to serve as a waiter. Concubine, it’s better to find someone you like to marry. With your ability, you will surely find a man who puts you first in everything.”

After she said this, she said nothing more, waved at the people, and planned to leave.

“Hey.”

Zhuang Ru yelled to her behind her, and saw Gu Wuyou turn her head, and wind carried her gauze, revealing her shocked face, “Actually…” She looked at Gu Wuyou and opened her mouth. “Li Qinyuan is still very good to you, you, come on.”

Gu Wuyou bent his eyes under the veil, “Okay.”

She smiled and nodded at the person, then waved her hand again, and then ran in Li Qinyuan’s direction.
