Chapter 682: Taking the initiative

Chapter 682 · Take the initiative

The day after Wu Jie returned to the Tang family, he went out to Liuzhao alley early in the morning without waiting for Mrs. Tang's order. When he went out, he happened to meet Madam Li. Madam Li saw that he was so diligent and sensible.

He nodded with satisfaction. While talking to Mrs. Tang, he couldn't help but praise Wu Jie.

Mrs. Tang was a little surprised.

The Tang family is not the kind of family that likes to treat the servants harshly. Although she was thinking about the movements of Aunt Xiang and Luo Xiuchun, she said nothing, and never urged Wu Jie. After all, the child walked a long way and had a rest.

It's normal for a day or two.

Unexpectedly, he took the initiative.

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "This child is the same as his mother. He is honest and diligent, and only knows the character of doing things. I think Wu Jie doesn't look much like Wu Ma, but may be more like his father."

I was very careful, but unfortunately, Cuiping, the only one of the right ages at home, followed Sister Ping to the Zhang family, otherwise I could help me become a mediator.”

Madam Li said, "What's wrong with you recently? You always want to be a matchmaker. Don't forget that you promised to help Mrs. Ding's lady's palm."

"By the way." Mrs. Tang mentioned this and was excited. "If you don't say it, I'll forget it. This person is old and really confused. I didn't believe in evil in the past. You look back.

I went to Ding's house with gifts, thinking about meeting Miss Ding. I, an elder, would not go, so as not to avoid being restrained when the child saw me and would not know how to put his hands and feet."

Madam Li naturally agreed and took advantage of the weather in the afternoon that she went to Ding's house with a gift.

When the Ding family moved to Hangzhou, they only followed a few loyal old servants, and the rest were bought here. Some of them fled to the famine, looking at the honest and dull, and thinking for a while.

I still can't make a turn.

After hearing about Madam Li’s purpose, the two people in the gatehouse looked at each other, “Who is the Tang family? I haven’t heard of having contact with our family… Have you found the wrong door?”

Madam Li held back her anger, "Did you find the wrong thing? You can tell if you go in and report it?"

The concierge hesitated.

Fortunately, an old lady happened to come back from work. When she saw Madam Li, she hurriedly greeted her. It turned out that she was the one who served by Mrs. Ding. She followed her all the way when she went to Puji Temple before. Today, Miss Ding wanted to eat nuts.

Mrs. Ding sent her out to buy it back.

She enthusiastically held Madam Li's hand, "My good sister, what wind has blown you. Come in and sit with me. Madam will be very happy to know you are here." She snatched two more fiercely

A servant like a wooden stake, "A blind person, stupid and lazy. What's the use of raising you at home? Let's go back and say to your wife, drive you all away, and buy another clever messenger."

The person in the gatekeeper was so scared that he quickly bowed to Mama Li to admit his mistake.

Madam Li smiled and said, "Don't scare them, Mrs. Ding is a bodhisattva's heart. How could she drive people away at any time? They are all honest people. They have never seen the door for anyone before, and they don't understand the rules inside.

Yes, just teach me slowly, don’t be angry. Life is not easy these days, so everyone should tolerate it.”

The woman praised Mama Li very much and helped her hand into the door.

The Ding family's house is not too big, but it is very clean. However, the trees and flowers in the yard are not planted very much, making it look a little empty.

The old lady whispered, "Oh, the tree is moved and the people are moved and living. I am new to you, and many things are not available. The master is busy building a kiln factory, and the wife is also the first one, so she doesn't care about some things.

, I can only do it slowly.”

Madam Li was a little surprised, "What? Do you want to build a kiln factory in Hangzhou?"

The woman nodded, "This is certain. According to the master and his wife's words, the Ding family will settle in Hangzhou from now on. As for the hometown, they will only go back to worship their ancestors occasionally. Since there is such a decision, many things will naturally happen.

It's about to start arranging. It's not about showing off to you. Our master is absolutely first-class in kiln-burning technology. I remember that when the imperial court had not yet fallen, our kiln factory even delivered things to the palace!"

Her tone was a bit pride from the heart, and Madam Li also laughed.

The old lady knew that she was a good person and could not help but talk too much, "You don't know that when I bought this house, there were still many flowers and trees planted in the yard, but after paying the money, the owner connected to the yard.

The walnut trees were all gone, but our wife was so angry. The master said that these things could be purchased again. The most important thing is to have a place to settle down. If the business is good in the future, maybe we will have to replace them with larger ones.

What about the house? What’s more, we should not cause unnecessary trouble when we are just here."

Madam Li curled her lips as she heard this, "What's the matter of the host of this house? How much money can a tree be worth? I've made a fortune by putting my mind on serious matters."

The old lady smiled and said, "Isn't that the reason!"

While speaking, she came to the front hall, where Mrs. Ding was reading the account book. What Madam Li didn't expect was that Mrs. Ding was able to make a good decision, and her clever hand speed was comparable to Tang Xueping.

When Mrs. Ding heard the movement, she looked up and said in surprise and joy, "Oh, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"

Madam Li bowed to Mrs. Ding, "I made green dumplings at home. The old lady remembers that you like to eat them. She specially asked me to send a few of them. They are not valuable things. I will give you some fresh things."

Mrs. Ding knows how to be a human being. She only took her half a tribute, "It's a hot day, thank you so much. When I look back, I have to come to my house in person to thank the old lady." She invited Mama Li to take her seat and ordered her servants to take care of her.

Tea comes.

Madam Li said, "What are you busy with?"

Mrs. Ding sighed, "Don't you mention it. Haven't you always gone out recently? Our master complained and said that I don't care about the family affairs. I was thinking about taking advantage of the good weather and there was nothing else on the left and right, so I quickly calculated the recent expenses.

I think I have a good idea.”

Madam Li said, "You are someone who has an arrangement, and Mr. Ding is also over-concerned. By the way..." She asked in surprise, "Why didn't you see Miss Ding?"

Mrs. Ding felt aroused when she heard this.

Madam Li is a person around Mrs. Tang, and represents Mrs. Tang herself. And after getting along at Puji Temple, Mrs. Ding knew that she was a person who didn’t talk much. Today, this seemed casual question.

It must be of purpose.

Mrs. Ding is also a smart person, and she will understand after a change of mind.

Although Mrs. Tang promised to be a matchmaker for her daughter, Mrs. Ding felt that she might just say it casually, so she didn't have any hope.

But Mrs. Tang sent Madam Li over, which proved that she was doing it as a serious matter. Mrs. Ding was happy and said quickly, "The child has a little quiet personality, and she likes to lock herself in the room to embroider. Who is she?

I didn't listen to anything, and I had no way to deal with her."

Madam Li said, "This is what a girl should look like. Miss Ru in our family is still too naughty."

Mrs. Ding ordered the old lady on the side, "Go and invite the lady to come over, and then she said that there was a guest at home and asked her to come to see the guest."

While saying that, he winked at her.

The old lady would feel sorry for her and smiled and said, "Yes, I'll go and invite her now."
