Text Chapter 170 Confirmation
How could the young Cui Shisan be as good as Chen Qushui who has experienced the ever-changing changes in the world?
Besides, she might say something to Chen Qushui, but she might not be able to say it to Cui Shisan.
If Cui Shisan knows it, it means that his grandmother knows it.
She failed to get married to the Wu family and refused the He family's proposal. If she quit the Wei family again, and she would take the initiative to quit the marriage... that would be too shocking! Because in this way, she would have no chance of getting married. Even if her grandmother who has always loved and favored her, she would definitely not agree. She did not dare to reveal a trace of her tone in front of her grandmother!
But she didn't want Chen Qushui to take risks for her own business.
"There is no hurry to do this." Dou Zhao tried to persuade him, "I'll talk about it then, it's still early anyway."
Chen Qushui naturally knew Dou Zhao’s intentions.
He couldn't help but say seriously: "Miss, are you really going to retire from the Wei family?"
Dou Zhao had told him before that making arrangements with the Wei family was just a temporary solution. But after he found that Dou Zhao had met Wei Tingyu, he had an unusual tolerance for Wei Tingyu, and Dou Zhao was not the kind of blind obedient person... It can be seen that Dou Zhao had a good impression of Wei Tingyu.
But in Chen Qushui's opinion, although Wei Tingyu is handsome and generous, he has no backbone when encountering problems. It is good to be friends; it is a fatal weakness if he is husband. He will not only obey the wind by his side, but also change his mind because of his friends' joking.
Swinging from side to side is the most uneasy.
Moreover, Dou Zhao was afraid that he would pay a dowry to maintain the daily use of the Jining Hou Mansion. Others thought that Dou Zhao was the one who was born in Wei's family and was not in a good way.
That is a proof that the aunt of the Wei Mansion wants Dou Zhao to marry into the Jining Marquis’ Mansion within 100 days!
Except for the title of Marquis, Wei Tingyu was very ordinary.
But in this world, as long as one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, it is best for outsiders not to interfere.
Since Dou Zhao fell in love with Wei Tingyu, marrying him was nothing more than some losses in money. This is nothing to Dou Zhao. This marriage is barely considered a match.
Unexpectedly, the old Jining Hou suddenly passed away and Wei Tingyu had to keep mourning for three years.
Although Dou Zhao asked him to inquire about the Wei family, he remained silent and his attitude was ambiguous, which made him unable to understand Dou Zhao's true thoughts for a while.
"Of course it's true." Dou Zhao's expression was serious and his eyes were firm. "I won't joke about such things."
Chen Qushui couldn't help but nod.
Dou Zhao just made up his mind and he didn't have to look forward to it.
Even if the goal is not achieved this time, the two of them will work together and make a profit and continue to work harder.
What's more, Dou Zhao has half of Xi Dou's property, and he and Duan Gongyi, Chen Xiaofeng and others help. Relying on the big tree of the Dou family, even if he never gets married for the rest of his life, his life may not be worse than marrying into the declining Marquis Mansion. Why bother to look at the faces of the Wei family?
Even if you want to get married, as long as you have the fault in the Wei family, Dou Zhao will find a kind-hearted child from an ordinary scholarly family to marry, and it may not be a good thing to be able to make decisions on everything by himself.
Moreover, Dou Shiying has no children and keeps her eldest daughter to marry at home, which is reasonable... No matter which way she takes, she is better than marrying to the Marquis Mansion of Jining!
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss, wait for me for a while." As he said that, he left the hall directly.
Dou Zhao was waiting for him in the hall curiously.
After a while, Chen Qushui broke back.
He wore a felt hat that was half new and not old, with his head hanging down, his body hunched over, his body wearing a shabby cotton robe, his eyes hanging down and his hands were closed, and he looked like a down-and-out scholar, and there was no trace of the elegance and spirit just now!
Dou Zhao was speechless.
Chen Qushui stood up straight, and the man became energetic and energetic again.
"How is it?" he smiled. "My skills are pretty good. I learned from a street performer. The people who kept the Duke of England could not recognize me. Even if I recognized it, I would only think that I had no food and clothing after leaving the Duke of England and fell on the street. I would definitely not think of what happened."
Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing.
She asked Chen Qushui: "What are your good ideas?"
Chen Qushui knew that Dou Zhao had compromised and smiled and said, "Miss, what are the plans?"
Since I have entrusted this matter to Chen Qushui, I should naturally be honest!
Dou Zhao carefully said: "Wei Tingzhen is greedy. The aunt Jin and Lu around her are both people who can speak. The two have always been disagreeable. If they can make good use of the conflict between them, and rumors about the incompatibility between me and Wei Tingyu will be spread, this matter will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."
"This plan is very good." Chen Qushui looked at Dou Zhao with a smile and nodded constantly.
The two of them coincided with this matter!
"I'll set off for Kyoto as soon as possible." Chen Qushui smiled, "In a few months, Jining Hou will be convinced. Some things must be planned early." With him in Kyoto, he will definitely not let this matter lose control. He paused and said, "It's just that this matter involves the woman in the inner hut. I want to borrow someone from the lady."
Dou Zhao smiled and said, "Are you talking about Su Xin?"
Chen Qushui shook his head and said, "I want to borrow Hong Gu."
Dou Zhao was slightly stunned.
Chen Qushui said implicitly: "It's just that Hong Gu is older and can speak more with those nannies. In addition, she looks simple and makes people more likely to believe. If the person who speaks looks too smart and capable, it makes people suspicious." It's just that Hong Gu is a country woman. Those nannies think that they are working in the Marquis' Mansion and Duke's Mansion, and have a better understanding of them, they will be less careful about Hong Gu, which will make it easier to deceive those women.
"It's just Aunt Cui's place..."
"Don't worry, Miss." Chen Qushui smiled confidently, "I just asked Hong Gu to help me deliver a few words at critical moments, and I'm not asking Hong Gu to withdraw from the marriage."
Even if there were some clues, Wei Tingzhen knew that she had planned to plot against Wei Tingyu in this way. With her love for her brother, she would quit the bride if she resisted death. However, at that time, the mistake of quitting her bride had to be recited by herself, and she could achieve her goal anyway.
Dou Zhao no longer hesitated and nodded: "Then I'll bother Mr. Chen."
Chen Qushui said a few words of politeness, and smiled and discussed some details with Dou Zhao to prepare for the matter of going to Beijing.
A few days later, my grandmother called Dou Zhao over and said, "Mr. Chen came and said he would go to Kyoto to check the accounts in the shop in a few days. Thinking that the Wei family would be defeated in July, he wanted to take Hong Gu with him and ask Mrs. Wei for a while. Later, when the two families discussed the marriage, there was also a person who handed over the words. I was afraid that Hong Gu would go to stage fright, but Mr. Chen said that the Wei family had lived in Kyoto for a long time and had never seen anyone. The more honest the person, the more we seemed, the better. I thought that Mr. Chen's words made sense, so I agreed. Do you have anything to tell Hong Gu? Let me give you some advice later."
Dou Zhaoxin thanked her grandmother guiltily and only ordered Honggu: "If you have anything to do, just listen to Mr. Chen."
Hong Gu nodded repeatedly, took out the Lu silk and Hangzhou silk clothes from the bottom of the box, and ordered her to go to Kyoto with Chen Qushui.
Fan Wenshu and Cui Shisan received the letter long ago and brought Tian Fugui to welcome Chen Qushui outside Chaoyang Gate.
Chen Qushui closed the door and talked to Fan Wenshu.
"So, the Marquis of Yan'an will celebrate his birthday next month?" Chen Qushui pondered.
Fan Wenshu nodded: "The people of the Wang family are looking for gifts everywhere to celebrate the birthday of the Marquis of Yan'an these days." He was originally a man of antiques, but now he still often comes and goes with the guys in the shop. He is very familiar with this kind of news.
Chen Qushui asked: "Last time I asked you to make friends with the wife and servants next to the prince of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, do you have any questions?"
The prince's wife of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion is the aunt of the Marquis of Jining. The fourth lady is about to marry into the Marquis of Jining. She cursed the aunt of the Marquis of Jining through the people around the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. This is a common method used by those who are well-managed. Fan Wenshu did not arouse suspicion and said with a smile: "The Bao Mama in the stove in our shop was introduced by Mama Jin next to the Mama of Jingguo's Mansion."
Chen Qushui nodded with satisfaction and said to Fan Wenshu: "Hong Gu is rare to come to Kyoto. I think it would be better to let this mother Bao take Hong Gu around Kyoto."
Fan Wenshu knew how to tell her mother Bao, and gave her another ten taels of silver, called a carriage, accompanied by a servant, and asked her mother Bao to take Honggu around the city of Kyoto.
Haven't Hong Gu seen such a lively thing? Not only did he even look at the beads, he also bought a bunch of things in a bunch of things: "This is for Aunt Cui, this is for Miss Four, this is for Su Xin, Su Lan, Ganlu, Su Juan and a few girls..." Bao's mother looked red and became more enthusiastic about Hong Gu. When Chen Qushui bought the things and asked Hong Gu to greet Tian, Bao's mother volunteered to accompany Hong Gu to Jining Hou Mansion.
The business of Wei Tingyu, Gu Yu and others was very smooth. They only invested a few thousand taels of silver and collected the capital back after the first payment. Tian calculated that when the project of the four river sections was completed, they could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver and then they would be able to hold a wedding banquet for Wei Tingyu in a grand manner. When she thought about it, she felt very comfortable and had a better time in her life.
When she heard that the Dou family sent someone to greet her, Tian was very happy and hurriedly invited Honggu to come in. When she saw that she was a simple woman, she liked her even more. After talking to Honggu for a long time, she rewarded Honggu with a high-quality red envelope, and asked the nanny beside her to keep Honggu for a meal, and then sent Honggu out.
Wei Tingzhen heard that someone from the Dou family came to see his mother, and thought that the two families were about to settle the marriage date. She was afraid that her mother would agree to the Dou family's conditions in a daze, so she rushed over and asked what was going on.
Tian felt that his daughter was a little worried and said with a smile: "I'm just coming to Kyoto for business. I'm here to ask for some peace, but you're too careful." Then he ordered the maid to pick up some newly launched fruits and bring them in.
The nanny who was sent by Tian to entertain Hong Gu was staring at Wei Tingzhen with a gaze.
Wei Tingzhen understood and avoided talking to the nanny.
"Auntie, the nanny from the Dou family came to Kyoto to discuss the dowry with the seventh wife of the Dou family on the order of Aunt Cui of Dou family."
Seeing that he was about to get married, Zhending sent someone to Kyoto to get a dowry. Did he take a look at it before? Then Dou Zhao was just an unattended weed in the Dou family?
