Blissful Days After Widowhood

    Besides, after Gu Yin came out of Wangyuelou, she remembered what Shopkeeper Zhou said about Hanxianglou, but unfortunately, after inquiring, that Hanxianglou was on the other side of the town.

    The snow was getting heavier and heavier. It was almost noon after she came out for so long.

    Afraid of Wang's worry, Gu Yin decided to go home first today.

    When I reached the vicinity of Jinyi Lane, the wind and snow had grown to the point of being charming.

    It was also a coincidence that Wen Peifeng in Daxing Rice Shop was reconciling the accounts when he looked up and saw a huge black figure, he couldn't help but glanced a few more times, and after taking a closer look, he recognized Gu Yin.

    Seeing that Gu Yin had a difficult journey, Wen Peifeng put down the account book and went out.

    "Come in and hide, little lady, wait for this gust of wind to blow before leaving."

    In the past two months, Gu Yin or Wang came to buy rice, and Wen Peifeng has always given discounts according to what he said before.

    I have come and gone, and I am familiar with each other.

    Gu Yin put down her umbrella and entered the store, "Then I'll disturb shopkeeper Wen."

    Wen Peifeng smiled and said no, "Little lady also saw that there is no one in our store."

    The wind and snow were so heavy that there were almost no pedestrians on the road, let alone the shops.

    He poured hot water and handed it to Gu Yin.

    Gu Yin took the hot water and thanked her, and turned around to see a red job recruitment paper beside Wen Peifeng on the desk.

    She took a closer look and found that it happened to be a cook! And the monthly money is also very rich, it is twelve taels a month.

    Gu Yin happened to be free in the twelfth and first lunar months, wouldn't two months be enough for Wu'an's training? !

    Wen Peifeng noticed her sight, and took the initiative to explain: "Our boss has a bad appetite recently, and the host has hired several rounds of cooks."

    Gu Yin put the kitchen bowl in her hand, "Tell the shopkeeper, I'm going out on this windy and snowy day to find a kitchen errand. Since I happened to see it, can you let me try it? try?"

    If this is someone else, Wen Peifeng will definitely reject it.

    But Gu Yin helped him out of the siege before, and after contacting him, she knew that she was a really open person.

    So although Wen Peifeng has never tasted her cooking, he still sold her face and said: "It's a coincidence, there are no customers in the shop today. I have to go back to the main house to deliver it. The main house is only two cups of tea away from here, why don’t the little lady come with me?”

    Gu Yinben was still thinking about going out in the wind and snow, but she saw that a job was not worth it, so it would be good to hear it.

    At that time, the wind and snow were still heavy, but fortunately Wen Peifeng had a carriage.

    Wen Peifeng asked Gu Yin to sit in the carriage, while he squeezed with the coachman on the carriage.

    Two quarters of an hour later, the two arrived at Wen's house.

    After the carriage stopped, Wen Peifeng got off the carriage first, then put down the pedals, and then stepped back half a zhang to let Gu Yin get off.

    When the two walked to the door, they heard the official family smiling and saying, "Our old man doesn't know what kind of evil he has recently, let's find two women and Taoist people..."

    Although he only said this, the other people who heard this all winked and laughed weirdly - Mrs. Wen's original partner has been dead for several years, and he didn't say anything about the continuation of the marriage, and now he is suddenly looking for It's hard not to associate with two unnamed women.

    Gu Yin walked behind Wen Peifeng, and when the wind blew, the butler's words became incomprehensible.

    The housekeeper seemed to be deaf, and continued to tease everyone. After waiting for Wen Peifeng for a long time, he Shi Shiran turned his head and pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Our four young masters are back. Is it? The snow is too heavy, the eyes are small, and I didn’t go to greet you in person, Fourth Young Master, don’t blame the villain!”

    The eldest master of the Wen family has only one son, Wen Lang, and the second master has two sons.

    There are only three young masters in the mansion, but the butler deliberately called Wen Peifeng the fourth young master, which is to humiliate him and tell him not to rely on the first master to treat him as half a son. They posed in front of people.

    Wen Peifeng blushed with shame, but the housekeeper in front of him was from the second room, and there were many others present. He studied with Wen Lang since he was a child, and he was also educated by the literati, so he could only make people angry .

    Then the housekeeper glanced at Gu Yin who was following Wen Peifeng, and smiled again: "Fourth Young Master, this is a little lady from where to find it, but she looks like a born Zhou Zheng, but she is dressed properly. Strange. I don't deserve you!"

    If the other party only said himself, Wen Peifeng would have endured it, but he had no reason to mistake the innocence of the little lady, and Wen Peifeng immediately stood up!

    He was about to argue with the housekeeper when he watched Gu Yin walk forward from behind, and suddenly looked at the housekeeper with a blessing, "You are the master of the master, right? I'm the cook who was invited back by shopkeeper Wen. , I was about to greet you."

    The housekeeper hurriedly avoided and said: "You little lady don't talk nonsense, I'm just the second housekeeper in the house. You little lady wears strange clothes, and your eyes are not very good, you have no eyesight to see. Son!"

    Gu Yin suddenly realized, she hastily apologized, and said, "It was so windy and snowy, I didn't hear you clearly behind me. I thought that the one who was bossing the shopkeeper Wen was the master of the house!"

    The housekeeper turned his smile into anger, "How can you be so good at hurting people? Why am I so bossy?"

    "Huh? It turns out that bossing is hurtful words. I don't understand this, and I think it's a good word to praise people for being pompous and imposing!" Gu Yin was blessed again, and quickly followed Wen Lang said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Treasurer Wen, it is said that the prime minister's door is a seventh-rank official. The second housekeeper of your main family is so amazing, so the main family must be very powerful, right?"

    Gu Yinte emphasized the "two" in his words.

    There is probably no second-in-command in this world who is willing to hear people mention this.

    In particular, these two housekeepers have been the housekeepers in the Wen family for most of their life. When Mrs. Wen and the people from the big house came back, their confidants naturally came back, and he was demoted.

    Meeting Gu Yin's sly eyes, Wen Peifeng endured a smile and said, "The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate are not good words, they say that the servants are doing good things. Don't say this word. Don't worry, little lady, our old man, the eldest master, and the eldest young master are all very kind people."

    The second butler turned black with anger, but Gu Yin was not yet a servant of the manor, and she was innocent and ignorant of the youth. He really didn't know how to pursue it!

    When Wen Peifeng took Gu Yin around the shadow wall, the second housekeeper spat heavily.

    …

    At this time, in the study of Wen's family, Mrs. Wen was teaching his second son.

    "I asked you to set aside a few shops for your brother and nephew, and you only picked some unprofitable shops, and let the guys deliberately embarrass them! Now, you still want to move the shop in your mother's dowry? How can you allocate a few rooms for your elder brother, so you can't eat? I'm in a hurry to find supplements from your mother's dowry, you think it's beautiful! "

    Master Wen Er was stunned by the old man's training, but he has been in business for many years, and he has long practiced shameless time, and he hastily poured hot tea for the old man, He was happy, and said in his mouth: "Father, don't be angry, mother has been gone for so many years. The shop in her dowry is also there. Plus, it's not just the son's imagination, it's not just that the lease of this shop has expired. , they don't rent it anymore! Instead of renting it to someone else, it's better to give it directly to my son..."

    Mr. Wen waved his hand away, "Let your mother's fart! When your mother left, she said that her dowry was reserved for her granddaughter-in-law! Marrying a family, as an elder, do you want to touch the things of your future niece and daughter-in-law?"

    Speaking of this, Mrs. Wen also dropped the tea cup beside him.

    It was windy outside, although I couldn't hear what Mr. Wen was scolding, but I could still feel Mr. Wen's monstrous anger.

    Wen Lang looked at Gu Yin with an embarrassed expression, "What I just said is true, the old man is always good-natured."

    Gu Yin curved her lips and smiled reassuringly.

    The old man was still inside and then pointed at the second master Wen and scolded, "How did your mother and I give birth to such a thing as you? Don't think about your mother's dowry shop, I just give pigs to dogs, To that big bear at the door..."

    Mr. Wen tried his best to squinting his dim old eyes, and through the gloomy sky outside the house, he could only see a huge dark figure at the door, "Where did the big bear come from?"

    Master Wen Er was worried about how to get out, when he heard the words, he immediately went out and scolded: "Where are the weirdos, what are you doing strangely dressed? Don't have to scare the old man! Don't hurry. Get out now!"

    If someone else brought Gu Yin here, it would not be treated like this, but I didn't expect to meet the second old man who was eating and hanging in front of the old man, and he didn't want to see him as a man from the big house, so he As a result, he was kicked out without even seeing the old man's face.

    Gu Yin shook her head, "It's already a good intention of shopkeeper Wen to introduce me, and I can't blame you if it doesn't work out."

    I really don't blame him, Gu Yin has already heard that the scolding in the room is the old man in front of the stage that day.

      This job is impossible to see.

    Wen Peifeng sent Gu Yin out of Wen's house and asked the driver to send her back.

    When she was about to get into the car, Gu Yin handed him the food box in her hand, "I have nothing to spare, this is the Laba porridge cooked at noon, I will give it to you as a thank you gift, I hope you Don't despise it."

    Manager Wen naturally said no, and the two agreed to part ways after returning the food box at the rice shop the next day.

    The sky was getting darker and darker, and it didn't take long before it was time to hold the lights.

    At this time, Mrs. Wen's anger has subsided, and who is the one who called the next person.

    Learning that it was Wen Peifeng who came to introduce him to the cook, Mrs. Wen was ashamed and muttered: "This child Peifeng is also, I am angry at the second child, and then Why didn't you just rush at him, why did you just leave?"

    The servant didn't dare to say that Mr. Wen Er took his anger on Wen Peifeng, and could only say: "Then go and invite him over?"

    The old man nodded, and the servant quickly went to find Wen Peifeng.

    At that time, Wen Peifeng had just warmed up to the Laba porridge that Gu Yin gave him.

    He felt more and more regretful that he did not introduce Gu Yin to Mrs. Wen. He heard that Mrs. Wen was looking for him, so he put the bowl of porridge into the food box again, and took the food box to the old man's study .
