Chapter 122 Royal Merchant
"Will Rose behave more and more powerfully?" Zhu Youning could almost imagine Rose's virtuous cycle.
Today, County Chief Cai heard that the Cheng family accompanied Qiangwei and the people who came to Fuyang would pick them up in person. The women who joined Qiangwei, regardless of their wealth, were as if they were gilded.
With the halo of roses, I am afraid that there will be many benefits, and the woman who gets the benefits will give back to roses. After such a virtuous cycle, roses will only grow stronger.
"Yes. All the women with some faces in the Great Zhou Dynasty are proud to join Rose. They are from poor families. As long as they have a skill and are valued by Rose, they can marry into a wealthy family in the future."
Zhu Huating smiled and touched Zhu Youning's head, "But we are still far away from each other. You see, the Zhu family is a top-notch family in Fuyang, but compared with Qiangwei's power, it is much worse."
Zhu Youning blinked and smiled playfully: "If my grandfather becomes a woman, is he qualified to join Rose?"
When Zhu Huating heard this, the old man Zhu shaved his beard and looked like he was wearing women's clothing and was so pink. He couldn't help but feel excited.
"Even if he is a woman, what else can he do besides running a family business? The Zhu family's business is passed down by his ancestors. He is just a success. Where can he have any real skills that can make Qiangwei fall in love with?"
Zhu Youning immediately shook Zhu Huating's hand with a smirk: "Dad, I heard it. If you say this, grandfather will be sad if he knows it!"
Zhu Huating couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "He won't be sad."
That was his father, and he couldn't understand it much. Mr. Zhu seemed gentle, but in fact he was heartless. He was not someone who caught his eye and probably wouldn't have won any attention.
Sixteen thought carefully about the content of Zhu Huating and Zhu Youning’s conversation just now. Although he had never seen Mr. Zhu’s appearance, he had seen Mr. Bai. Imagine Mr. Bai becoming a woman…
Sixteen thought that the family could save two bowls of rice.
Since County Magistrate Cai is in a bad mood, he has to wait for tomorrow for the first volume.
The three of them returned home as usual, and had a good night's sleep. Zhu Huating went back the next day and successfully completed the household registration of Shiliu and Zhuang Ge'er.
For this reason, Cui's mother specially set up a good meal to celebrate.
After dinner, Zhu Youning and Bai Ling and Hua Mei made needles and threads in the room, and helped Shiliu sew a book bag.
Sixteen took a willow branch and played with Xiao Zhangzi in the yard.
Just as the home was relaxing and happy, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly knocked gently.
The gate went to answer the gate: "Who?"
"It's me, the old man told me to come and pass the message."
Zhu Youning heard the movement in the wing room, so he put down the needle and thread and looked out.
The person who came was a servant, of medium figure, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, looked familiar.
It seems to be the old man from the study room of the outer courtyard.
Zhu Huating stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back and asked, "But what are the instructions at home?"
The servant respectfully saluted Zhu Huating, "The old man's order, please go back immediately."
Zhu Huating frowned two vertical lines, "Did the old man say what order did he give?"
The servant shook his head and said, "Master, how can I know about my master's identity? Miss Jiu went back to see the old master, so she naturally knew everything."
Zhu Youning stood in front of the door, "Dad, I'll go and have a look."
Zhu Huating looked at Zhu Youning with concern, "Fu Ya'er, Dad, come with you."
He really doesn't trust those people from the Zhu family. If they are not good to Zhu Youning, Zhu Youning is just a child, how can he have the power to fight back?
Zhu Youning saw through Zhu Huating's thoughts and smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, what can I do if I go home in the blue sky and the sun."
Zhu Huating knew that the old man could not help but see Zhu Youning calmly, so he could only sigh and agree.
Zhu Youning took Bai Ling and Hua Mei and followed the servant back to Zhu's house.
To Zhu Youning's surprise, this time was completely contrary to the cold treatment he received when he returned home to pay homage to the old lady. The servants and maids along the way were smiling and greeted her with a smile, which made Zhu Youning feel polite.
The servant led Zhu Youning to the front hall of the main courtyard.
While the servant was replying, Zhu Youning whispered to Bai Ling and Hua Mei, "You can find an inconspicuous place outside to guard it. If there is anything wrong, it is convenient to quietly go to the living yard to find Mr. Li to report the news."
Huamei and Bailing both nodded solemnly, looking as if they were ready to go.
"Miss Jiu, the old man invites you in."
The servant put a dark green oleandering curtain of the beautiful and longevity pattern for Zhu Youning at the door.
Zhu Youning nodded to the servant and entered the main entrance.
The front hall is very spacious. As soon as you enter the door, you are facing a picture of a horse galloping with a brush and ink freehand painting. There is a table with a blue and white porcelain vase on the left and right, with new flowers inserted in it. There is a black lacquered square table under the table, and a Taishi chair on the left and right. There are two rows of ring chairs on the bottom, and a brand new dark green ink-rolling mattress is laid with water on the head.
At this time, both the main and secondary positions were already full of people.
When Zhu Youning saw these people, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He saw that the four of the Zhu family had all come. The old man sat there, and the remaining seats were given to the masters of each family, while the rest of the young man stood in two rows behind him.
When everyone saw Zhu Youning come in, everyone's eyes were gathered on her.
Zhu Youning was very uncomfortable being seen, but her face was naive, with long eyelashes flashing, and she saluted Mr. Zhu and the other three old masters with a smile.
"Hello grandfather, hello grandfathers. Hello uncle, uncle, brother."
"Look, the Ninth Girl is so polite, so smart and capable." The third old master praised with a smile, "Only the eldest brother taught such an excellent granddaughter, we are beyond our reach."
Mr. Zhu said modestly: "The third brother is too proud. This is all because of this child's willingness to work hard."
After the old master Zhu said that, he waved at Zhu Youning lovingly: "Fuyaer, come, come to my grandfather's place."
Zhu Youning's whole body was full of chicken skins. Old Master Zhu really disgusted Zhu Youning with such behavior. He didn't care about her. Why do you have to pretend to be like this for people to see? You don't feel tired.
"Grandfather." Zhu Youning lowered her head and walked to Old Master Zhu. Her cute look with her eyebrows and eyes down really made the person who saw her unable to help but pinch her little face.
Old Master Zhu did the same. He pinched Zhu Youning's cheek with his big hand and smiled: "Jiu Yatou, I did a good job this time."
Mr. Zhu's hands were dry and cool, which made Zhu Youning contact the snake, and the hairs on his back stood up one by one.
"The granddaughter doesn't understand." Zhu Youning raised his eyes and looked at Old Master Zhu.
"Look at my memory, the Nine Girl has just arrived, I don't know yet." Old Master Zhu chuckled and said when he heard this.
