Chapter 435 Bragging without drafting
The old lady spoke more and more enthusiastically, tugging at the satin clothes on her body, "This dress was made for me by my second daughter-in-law, and this gold hairpin and gold earrings were all bought for me by my second daughter-in-law."
As the old lady spoke, she plucked her gold earrings proudly.
Then he pointed at the mother-in-law next to him and put money on his face without any guilt, "The second daughter-in-law also bought this to serve me. She originally said she would take me to live with the second son, but I didn't want to. She I bought it because I was afraid that no one would take care of me.”
The woman quickly smiled at Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang curled her lips calmly, "By the way, my eldest grandson is eighteen this year and passed the scholar examination last year. The masters in the school said they had never seen such a smart child."
The old lady's mouth twitched, thinking that she didn't have a promising grandson at home. Although Gu Qing went to study, he didn't even have the reputation of being a scholar. She smiled unnaturally, "Congratulations to you. If you pass the exam, It’s even worse when it comes to raising people.”
Ms. Zhang regained her confident smile, "No, autumn will be over in more than a month, and my eldest grandson is also planning to die."
“Speaking of the second child in your family, I remember that he was quite smart when he was a child, but it’s a pity that he only passed the exam as a boy student.”
When the old lady heard that this meant belittling the second child, she was very unhappy. She thought for a while and said, "My family is where my little granddaughter can make a living. She is handsome and can make money like me when she was a girl. Now she is in Open a shop in the city."
Zhang laughed and said, "Like you? I'm afraid he's not very handsome either."
“By the way, your little granddaughter, I remember she’s not that old yet. Is she in her teens? Can she open her own shop?”
The old lady stared, "My little granddaughter is not that capable. I am not bragging. I am almost seventy, and I have never seen a girl who is more capable than my little granddaughter."
“Speaking of which, my granddaughter earned more than half of the family’s fortune.”
The more Mr. Zhang heard, the less he believed it. A teenage girl who didn’t even dare to raise her head when speaking could earn money and coax ghosts!
Seeing Mrs. Zhang’s disbelief, the old lady called her aunt over and took Mrs. Zhang around Gu Fei’s house first.
Mrs. Zhang went in and took a look. The two yards she entered were neatly tidied up. There were several servants in the house, and it looked like that.
Ms. Chen is also a face-saving person. She brought a lot of good things and went out to entertain the guests. After lunch at home, Mrs. Zhang said she would go to the city to see Gu Fei.
The aunt said she had something to do and she didn't come. Gu Zhong had no choice but to come with two old ladies.
Zhang looked around and asked, "Xiao Fei, do you own this inn?"
Gu Fei nodded.
Mrs. Zhang added: "Does this house belong to you? The location is good, are you afraid that you won't be able to afford it for a few thousand taels of silver?"
Gu Fei smiled and said, "It's almost the same."
“I heard that you have several other shops? What are they?”
Gu Fei said: "A silver shop, a grain and oil shop, and a rouge shop."
Zhang was dubious and said with a sigh: "I really can't see that such a great fortune can be achieved at such a young age."
Gu Fei chatted with her for a few words and then went to work on her own.
The two old ladies chatted all afternoon, and Gu Zhong dozed off while listening.
When it was almost time for dinner, Gu Fei ordered the chef to cook some light and soft dishes and treat them to dinner.
After dinner, Mrs. Zhang was determined to drag the old lady to stay with her for a few days, so Gu Zhong sent the old lady there.
The old woman's mother-in-law also went with her.
At night, when Gu Fei was about to call Tieniu to close, she saw Xiao Yu wearing a black robe and coming in from the door.
