Chapter 78 The return of the dumb girl

Li Wei was busy with the house these two days. The old owner had officially handed over the house to him. Although the old owner moved away, he still left a lot of dilapidated furniture. He also found that the stairs in the inner house were also broken, and the bricks laid on the stone path in the back garden were also broken. These were all required to be cleaned and repaired. He asked someone to paint the walls of each room and finally bought a batch of furniture and placed them in the room. He had been busy for four or five days before he could barely come to an end.

Early that morning, Li Weizheng hurried to the Jinyiwei Office to order a Mao, and then hired two more carriages to Changfu. He was about to move officially, and Chang Sheng happened to go to Chongming County to train troops, which saved Li Weizheng a big trouble. Otherwise, things like drinking and leaving for him and trying to persuade him to do so would definitely be indispensable. Sometimes being too polite is also a kind of pain.

The old housekeeper received the advice from his master before leaving and was very helpful in Li Weizheng's moving. He found more than a dozen strong servants to carry the luggage for Li Weizheng, and specially gave Li Weizheng a set of new kitchen utensils. Li Weizheng was very grateful for this.

"Old butler, I'm really grateful for your care for the past few months."

"What are you saying? You are the guest of honor in Chang'an. According to the standards of the guest of honor, I have neglected you. If you don't blame me, I am already grateful."

The things were already packed, and the old housekeeper finally sent Li Wei to the gate. He remembered something and said with a smile: "I almost forgot. The master said that there are no maids in your new mansion. I will ask me to pick a few from the Chang Mansion for you. What if I give you the maids who have been serving you? I will find you two or three capable male servants."

Li Wei was waving his hand in a hurry, "There is no need for servants. A housekeeper will come to my hometown to help. When the maid and servants meet someone they like, they will choose slowly."

"This is not OK. How can I explain to the master later! Otherwise, I will give you the two maids who serve you."

The old housekeeper didn't care whether Li Weizheng agreed or not. He immediately ordered someone to call the two little maids who served Li Weizheng and said to them: "The master has an order. From today on, you will have nothing to do with the Chang Mansion. From now on, follow Mr. Li and go pack your own things!"

Two maids were named Chunhua and Qiuyue. The two maids who had just entered the Chang Mansion and sent to serve him. Although they were a little reluctant to leave the Chang Mansion, the master had an order, so they dared not refuse to obey, so they had to go back and pack up their own things.

Seeing that Li Wei could not refuse, he had to thank the housekeeper. At this time, a family member ran in outside the door and said to Li Wei urgently: "Mr. Li, your sister is here, and she has brought another little girl, who is outside the door!"

Li Wei was stunned, and he immediately realized that it was the mute girl and Gu Ying coming. He was ecstatic and left the old housekeeper and ran out of the gate in two steps. It took only two days to get to Suzhou in Beijing. The mute girl should have arrived in these two days. Although he didn't understand why Gu Ying followed him, he didn't have to worry about it now.

When I rushed out of the gate, I saw Guo Qianqian and Gu Ying standing in front of a carriage, curiously asking the family of Chang's family what they were doing?

"Qian'er!" Li Wei shouted and waved to them.

Qianqian, the mute girl, heard the shout. When she turned around, she saw Li Weizheng. The light suddenly shone out in her beautiful big eyes. She jumped like a deer and ran towards her brother quickly.

Although he had only been separated for five months, Li Weizheng felt that many years had passed. He held her hand and his eyes showed infinite joy, "Qian'er, you have grown taller."

After five months of sight, she has indeed grown taller and gained a lot of weight. She has combed her temples and looked at the moon, wearing a pink jacket and skirt, which makes her look even more beautiful and refined, like a graceful lotus that has not yet bloomed.

At this time, she and her elder brother met again after a long separation, and their hearts were so happy that they seemed to explode. Thousands of words were not sure where to start, but her eyes turned slightly red and she said a little aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that it's at most a month? Why are you coming back now?"

"Brother has a lot of things, but when he returns to the capital, he asks someone to pick you up. He doesn't dare to delay the day."

Guo Qianqian wanted to throw herself into her elder brother's arms and cry, but as she looked at her, her face suddenly turned red, and she quietly pulled out her hand from Li Weizheng's palm.

"Cousin, are you going to move?"

Gu Ying slowly walked over. She was wearing a black round-necked jacket, a blue silk skirt with a horse-faced face and a silk-wrapped silk, and she still looked so smart and capable. She reminded Qianqian in one sentence, and she immediately asked, "Yes! Is the eldest brother going to move?"

Li Wei smiled and said hello to Gu Ying, and said to them: "It's a coincidence that you came back. I bought a house a few days ago and wanted to pack it up before you come back. But you happened to meet me. It's okay, I'll take you to see your new home. You get on the carriage first, and I'll come later."

When Qianqian heard that she had a new home, she was so happy that she seemed to have flowers blooming on her face. She pulled Gu Ying and ran towards the carriage. However, Gu Ying knew that her cousin kept saying that you were just a polite thing, not her new home, but Qianqian was anxious and she had no choice but to follow her.

Li Wei turned around and said goodbye to the housekeeper, then he turned over and left with several carriages and a group of servants.

There were two more maids in Qianqian's carriage. They were all ordinary daughters, and they were about the same age, so they soon became familiar with each other. Although the two little maids were a little restrained, they seemed to have removed all kinds of constraints from the Chang Mansion and gradually revealed the nature of girls.

"Brother, stop calling me Qian'er. I always think you are calling someone else." By the car window, the mute girl took a chance and pouted her mouth and said to Li Wei with a righteous thought.

Levi pulled her braided ring lovingly and said with a smile: "What am I calling you?"

"Mummy girl! In Suzhou, uncles and aunts call me like this, but I still like the first name you gave me."

Li Weizheng shook his head, "You are already very fluent in speaking now. You can't call you a mute girl anymore. Besides, Qian'er is also the name I gave you. If you call it for a long time in the future, you will get used to it."

"Okay then!" Qianqian agreed aggrievedly.

Seeing Gu Ying next to him a few times, Li Wei smiled and said, "Cousin, how is the business of the cake shop in Suzhou?"

Gu Ying smiled slightly and said, "The business is very good, thanks to my cousin."

"It's not just very good, it's just a hot business." Qianqian said: "There are long queues every day before dawn, and it was sold out before noon. Uncle Gu asked Sister Ying to hire more people and make more, but Sister Ying just refused. She only made one thousand copies a day and closed the door after selling it. In fact, half of these thousand copies were purchased by the government and wealthy families. Only 500 copies were sold in the store, and people returned disappointed every day."

Li Weizheng smiled and nodded, "Actually, my cousin is doing it right. This is called rare things being expensive. If you can buy them casually, it will not be rare."

"Cousin, I went to Beijing this time to open a branch in Beijing. I think Gu Ji cakes are famous all over the world and must start a brand in Beijing. This is my purpose in Beijing. I will leave this store in Suzhou to my father and younger brother. From now on, I will be responsible for the store in Beijing. Cousin, do you think this is good?"

Gu Ying spoke in a negotiation tone. After all, Li Wei is in possession of 49% of Gu Ji Pastry Shop, and these major decisions require his consent.

In fact, Li Wei just wanted to help his uncle at that time, and he didn't take this matter seriously. He smiled and said, "My cousin decides these things by yourself! I won't interfere in the operation of the cake shop. After all, I am a government official, and Daming Lu does not allow officials to do business."

Gu Ying pondered for a while and said solemnly: "Or let Qianqian represent you. In short, I can't let you suffer."

"It's all a family, why don't you suffer any losses?" Li Weizheng smiled faintly and said, "If Qian'er likes it, it's okay to go to the store with you."

"Brother, we have made two thousand pencils and are preparing to open a pencil shop next to the cake shop." Qianqian pointed to two large wooden boxes and smiled.

Seeing that they were full of confidence, Li Wei said boldly: "Okay! I will help you find a shop tomorrow and do a big fight."























The carriage continued to move forward, and as he was about to reach the new house, Qianqian, who was laughing and cheering all the way, gradually became silent, and her eyes were filled with sadness. When the carriage stopped in front of the new house, Qianqian's face turned extremely pale and her eyes were staring at the door.

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ying noticed her abnormality, and Li Weizheng had already entered the mansion to greet and move things.

"Sister Ying, help me down!" Guo Qianqian said in a trembling voice.

Gu Ying carefully helped her out of the carriage. After walking a few steps, she found that her whole body was trembling, her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Chunhua, Qiuyue, you go and find the young master, and just say something happened to Qianqian!" Gu Ying was also panicked, she didn't know what had happened.

At this time, Li Wei was just coming out. He saw something wrong at first sight, and was also shocked, "Qian'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, why did you buy this place?" Qianqian screamed sadly and fainted softly on the steps.
