Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 367
Now that the second wife of the Guan family and the fourth master Guan are going to the capital, many servants in the mansion are overcrowded and want to go with them.At this time, Zhuang Yue didn't push up, but wanted to retreat from the inside. It was really not easy. With a little help, let people step on him more, and he would be able to retreat by himself.At that time, the Guan family will not only not blame Du Jinning, but also thank him for taking care of Zhuang Yue, an old servant who has been trying for the Guan family for so many years.

After finishing speaking, he sat up straight and said seriously: "You can't do this behind the young master's back, you need to ask the young master's consent. If the young master doesn't agree, you'd better stay at the Guan's house honestly and don't bother."

"Naturally, Xiaobei, please help me tell the young master about this." Zhuang Yue stood up and made a bow to Lu Xiaobei.

Lu Xiaobei quickly helped him up, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Xiaobei is a very active person, and now it is spring and summer, and the production of tea is also larger than in early spring.Although the tea gardens of the Qi, Yuan, and Du families are not yet in full production, the tea leaves of the three families together are not too small, and they have to send tea to the capital every other month.And it was less than half a month before the delivery of tea leaves this time, and he was going to the capital, so sooner rather than later.

He first wrote to Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er to borrow money, then carefully prepared the betrothal gift, and went to Du's house with Mrs. Xie and Matchmaker Wu to make the betrothal.

Chen and Du Jinning received them very warmly.

If there were no stimulation from rumors, Lu Xiaobei would naturally use all his savings to buy a dowry gift to express his gratitude to the Du family for allowing the marriage.But since he planned to do business, the dowry gift he offered was somewhat different.In addition to some necessary physical objects and a pair of jade bracelets, there is another item in his dowry list: to use all his original net worth and all income within this year as a dowry.

Seeing this item, Matchmaker Wu and Mrs. Xie were taken aback.

Can you still give a dowry like this?

Lu Xiaobei said calmly: "I have also heard rumors outside these days. How many people think that I, Lu Xiaobei, is a toad eating swan meat. I am grateful to my mother-in-law, Jin Ning, and sister Ling for the importance I have. I don’t think you’re trusting anyone. I want everyone in the city to see that you are not picky, and I, Lu Xiaobei, am not a person with no skills. I want to save some of my savings and go to the capital to make a fortune. And this part of the savings and the money I earned will be used as a dowry, and I will ask my mother-in-law and Jin Ning to trust me."

He always called Du Jinning the young master.But now that he is an in-law, he has become Du Jinning's brother-in-law, so he is no longer shy, and changed his address, calling Du Jinning's name directly.

"Xiaobei, you don't have to do this." Mrs. Chen disagreed, "We don't care if you have money, as long as you live your life honestly."

She is an old concept, thinking that as long as she is safe and the family stays together, she is happy even if she eats vegetables.Although it is possible to make some money by going out and wandering, the risks and the fear of the family members are not comparable to that little money.If something happened to Lu Xiaobei outside and he didn't come back for three to five years without hearing from him, what would Du Fangling do?

But Du Jinning's heart moved when he heard it.

She stood up and said to Lu Xiaobei: "Brother-in-law, come with me to the study, and I will hear what your plan is." Then she handed over to Mrs. Xie and Matchmaker Wu, "Mother-in-law and Aunt Wu, please sit down slowly, my second brother-in-law and I Discuss something."

"It's okay, you can do it yourself." Xie said with a smile.

Matchmaker Wu lived not far from Lu Xiaobei's house, so she naturally knew that Lu Xiaobei originally worked with Du Jinning.She also hurriedly said: "You men do great things, just do it, don't worry about us."

Lu Xiaobei pleaded guilty, followed Du Jinning to her room, and told Du Jinning about his plan. Du Jinning was really happy when he heard that, and said: "I also have the same intention, just thinking that shopkeeper Yao can't get rid of it." Kaishen, you are young and have never gone out before, so you dare not take this step, so you have not said it all the time. Since you have the heart, then do it. The first time is equivalent to taking a trip to make money or not It doesn't matter, as long as you can come back safely with them as scheduled."

"Thank you, young master." Lu Xiaobei hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Don't worry, I'm a man with a family now, and I will definitely handle things carefully, and I won't take risks." When it came to the last sentence, He blushed, a little embarrassed.

Du Jinning's eyes widened; "Just now you called me Jinning outside, why did you call me Young Master again now? And you are my brother-in-law, a family, how can you be so polite?"

Lu Xiaobei scratched his head, sat down and smiled, "Haha, I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I can't change my words for a while."

What can't be changed?It's just a test, and I'm worried that Du Jinning won't be used to the two being equal for a while.

Du Jinning glanced at him and waved his hand: "Since you want to earn a family business, I don't say that you don't need to pay for tea, you just use it to open up the market. How much savings do you have on hand, you just go to the two tea gardens in Qiyuan Go buy tea, you don’t need to pay for the tea in my tea garden first, just take it and use it first. When you come back from the capital, then give me the money for the tea. As for whether this trip makes a profit or a loss, that’s up to you Take it on yourself."

"Yes, thank you Jinning." Lu Xiaobei stood up again and bowed.

Seeing Lu Xiaobei like this, Du Jinning felt a little helpless.Promoting one's subordinate to brother-in-law, how to get along with each other is really a problem.

"There is one more thing." Lu Xiaobei explained Zhuang Yue's thoughts, and said, "I have been paying attention to Uncle Zhuang's situation. He is really in a bad situation now. Many people hate his position and always want to put him in the wrong place." Get it down and go up by yourself. If it weren't for you occupying the majority of the teahouse, and Mrs. Guan Er couldn't stretch out her hand, those people would have already taken this place with the help of Mrs. Guan Er. Since he intends to go to you, why don't you It's fine to accept him. Young master, the business under your name is getting bigger and bigger, and we are short of experienced, capable, good-natured and loyal people like Uncle Zhuang."

He knew Du Jinning's scruples, so he didn't need her to speak, and then said: "As for how Uncle Zhuang will leave the Guan family and join you, we have plans. In short, no one will chew your tongue and say that you are ungrateful and poach the Guan family. Shopkeeper. You don't have to feel guilty, anyway, the Guan family has a big business, one more Uncle Zhuang is not too much, and one less is not too many, Second Wife Guan won't care, and Young Master Guan is even more indifferent to this kind of thing."

"Xiaobei, you are my brother-in-law now, there is no need to use 'you' or 'you'." Du Jinning reminded.

Lu Xiaobei smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Okay."

Only then did Du Jinning comment on Zhuang Yue's matter: "Okay, I have always wanted Uncle Zhuang to help me. As long as you do it properly, I have no problem."
