First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 146 Say hello to uncle
In the early morning of the third day, the three brothers and sisters asked Mrs. Du for instructions under the banner of taking Xue Chenghe out for a stroll.

Mrs. Du was talking with Mrs. Xue, and she frowned when she heard the words, and said in disapproval, "Just ask your brother to lead Cheng He out for a walk. You are a woman, so don't run out if you have nothing to do."

Du Rongzhi pouted unhappily, pulled Mrs. Du's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mother let me go with my brothers! It's rare to have such an opportunity... I can't even fish out at home... ..." As he spoke, he secretly winked at Xue Chenghe, Du and Yun Ting.

"Yes, Aunt." Xue Chenghe hurriedly said, "When I went to Beijing the day before yesterday, I saw many noble girls playing in the street together... Besides, my cousin and I are watching, why don't you worry about it? What? Let the eldest sister go with you."

Du Yunting also helped talk about Xiang.

Mrs. Du couldn't stand their flabbergasting, so she had to agree, "Since that's the case, you can go. Just remember to follow your two elder brothers well, and you are not allowed to run around alone, and you are not allowed to go to places with many people to join in the fun."

Du Rongzhi hurriedly smiled and agreed.

When they were young, the three brothers and sisters changed their clothes, Du Rongzhi got into the carriage accompanied by Qing He, Du Yunting and Xue Chenghe rode on both sides, protecting Du Rongzhi all the way to Guanyun Street.

At that time, Han Zonghao had already made an appointment with the middlemen, and was waiting at the door. Seeing them coming, he quickly welcomed them in.

The shop opened at the end of Guanyun Street, because the owner's family committed a crime and urgently needed money for turnover, so they were anxious to sell it at a low price.There are four big rooms in the whole shop, and there is an independent courtyard at the back, with all the furniture and furnishings, Xue Chenghe was very satisfied immediately, and was about to open his mouth to settle down, but he saw Du Yunting winking at himself.

Xue Chenghe understood, so he was not in a hurry to talk, he just casually glanced east and west, and saw Du Rongzhi leading the girl admiring the plum blossoms in the yard, so he also paced over, picked up a plum blossom, and whispered in a low voice. Du Rongzhi whispered in his ear, "I think this place is pretty good, but how much can I rent it for?"

Du Rongzhi looked back, and saw that Han Zonghao was talking all over the place, while Du Yunting's face was indifferent, and he only picked a few stabs from time to time, and sang and harmonized, which was very lively.

Du Rongzhi smiled slyly, "You just have to wait at ease, the price will always satisfy you."

..........................................

Because the first month is not yet out, the Hanlin Academy is very idle these days.

Song Zixun woke up earlier, thinking that he would have nothing to do today, so he decided to turn a corner and go to Du's house to see his wife and children.

The carriage was heading east, and not long after entering Guanyun Street, I heard Changxing say "Hey", and then I heard him say outside, "Master, it seems to be uncle in front."

Song Zixun opened the curtain and took a look outside, and sure enough, he saw Du Yunting riding a tall horse, guarding the two sides of a carriage with a young man from Washington on the left and right.

Song Zixun thought for a while, "Go over and say hello to uncle."

"Yes—" Changxing just replied, but he saw that Du Yunting and the man with him over there had gotten off their horses, and the carriage also slowly stopped in front of a shop at the end of the street.

There was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old standing at the door of the shop, he rushed up to greet him, bowed and said a few words to Du Yunting, Du Yunting nodded, and turned back to the front of the car.

Changxing looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help being taken aback, "Isn't that Miss Qinghe?"

Song Zixun frowned.

The curtain of the car was lifted from the inside, and the next moment, Qing He was seen helping a slender woman in a plain brocade cloak out of the car.

The woman's face was covered by the furry hood, and she couldn't tell her appearance, her light blue cotton skirt with fringe and piping was faintly exposed in her gestures, Du Yunting helped her out of the carriage.

..........................................

After everything was settled, the middlemen were busy looking for paperwork and contracts for the lease, while Xue Chenghe stood in the courtyard and told everyone about his grand idea with great interest, "It couldn't be more convenient to turn over the medicine here... I also plan to open up those rooms, when the time comes—”

Xue Chenghe was talking about the place where his eyebrows were beaming, when he saw a person walking in quickly from outside.

Du Rongzhi was listening with great interest, and was taken aback when he saw the person coming, "Changxing? Why are you here?"

Changxing stepped forward to greet Du Yunting, Du Rongzhi and his brother and sister with smiles all over his face. When his eyes fell on Xue Chenghe, his eyes couldn't help but pause, and Du Rongzhi introduced, "This is my aunt's cousin, surnamed Xue. "

Changxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and said, "I have seen my cousin."

Seeing Changxing's expression, Du Yunting seemed to have something to say to Du Rongzhi, so he said to Xue Chenghe, "How do you plan to repair these rooms? Let's go in and discuss it."

Xue Chenghe was full of enthusiasm and complacency at the moment, just when he was eager to confide in others, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I still have a lot of ideas, let's go into the room and discuss them in detail." While talking, he talked to Du Yunting Go in and don't mention it.

Changxing smiled and watched the two young masters leave, then whispered to Du Rongzhi, "Master passed by just now, and happened to see you coming in... The carriage is now parked under the big banyan tree at the end of the street."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly.

According to that uncle's temper, if he knew that he came out without his permission, he might not be too happy...

She thought for a while, "Didn't Eldest Young Master go to the Imperial Academy today?"

"I went and came back again." Changxing said truthfully, "I planned to go to the Du Mansion to see you and Miss Sun..."

The two quickly left the courtyard.

When the driver of the carriage saw Du Rongzhi, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then he heard the people in the carriage say calmly, "But the young lady is here?"

"Yes, Lord." Du Rongzhi replied softly, just as she stepped on the low stool, Song Zixun had already opened the curtain and stretched out his hand towards her.

Du Rongzhi was slightly surprised, raised her head and showed him a sweet smile, and put her hand in his palm.

The sun shone on the ruby ​​ring on her ring finger, emitting dazzling rays of light, which made her hand shiny and delicate, as if carved out of white snow...

Song Zixun pulled her into the carriage.

"Today...what a coincidence." Du Rongzhi looked at his expression carefully, and smiled flatteringly, "...I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yeah." Song Zixun glanced at her casually, lowered his head and poured a cup of tea, "I didn't expect that either. You would still go out in such a cold day."

Du Rongzhi could hear the displeasure in his words, she slandered in her heart, and laughed softly, "It turned out that my concubine's aunt brought her cousin from Dingzhou yesterday, so my elder brother and I took him out to look around. ..."

"Auntie?" Song Zixun raised his eyebrows with a pause in his hands, "Since Auntie is here, why didn't you send someone to notify me?"

"I'm afraid you'll be busy with too much entertainment these few days..." Du Rongzhi could only say, "I'm thinking about telling you in a few days..."

Song Zixun nodded, and casually handed over the tea bowl filled with water.

Du Rongzhi was overwhelmed by the flattery, hurriedly thanked her, and reached out to take it.The temperature of the tea is just right, drink it into the stomach, and the internal organs will be warmed together.

Du Rongzhi was holding a bowl and sipping, when Song Zixun said leisurely, "When I was waiting for you just now, Changxing went to inquire and heard that this shop is going to be rented out recently." He looked at her with a smile, " How did you come here?"
