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 had been out for so long. If she hurried there again, it would have been dark by the time she came back.
Afraid that Wang would be worried, Gu Yin decided to go home first today.
When they reached the vicinity of Zhenyi Alley, the snowstorm was already so big that it was fascinating to the eyes.
It was also a coincidence that Wen Peifeng was reconciling the accounts in Daxing Rice Shop, and when he looked up, he 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's journey was difficult, Wen Peifeng put down his account books and greeted him.
"Little lady, come in and hide, wait for this gust of wind to blow before leaving."
In the past two months, when Gu Yin or Mrs Wang came to buy rice, Wen Peifeng always gave discounts according to what he said before.
One to two to go, can be considered familiar.
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 was no one in our store."
It was so windy and snowy that there were hardly any pedestrians on the road, let alone the shops.
He poured hot water himself and handed it to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took the hot water and thanked him, and turned to see Wen Peifeng on the desk with a red paper for job recruitment.
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 it be enough for Wu'an's training in two months? !
Wen Peifeng noticed her gaze, and took the initiative to explain: "Our boss's appetite has been bad recently, and the host has hired several rounds of cooks."
Gu Yin put the kitchen bowl in her hand, "To be honest with the shopkeeper, I'm going out in this windy and snowy day to find a kitchen errand. Since I happened to see it, can you let me try it?"
If this was someone else, Wen Peifeng would 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-minded person.
So although Wen Peifeng had never tasted her cooking, he still sold her face and said, "It's just a coincidence that there are no customers in the shop today. After I order this wave, I will go back to the master's house and deliver it to the master. It’s only two cups of tea away from home, why don’t the little lady come with me?”
Gu Yinben was still thinking about coming out in the wind and snow, but seeing that a job was not worth it, it was natural to hear the words.
After about two quarters of an hour, Wen Peifeng calculated the accounts, put the accounts together, closed the store door and led Gu Yin away.
At that time, the snow was still heavy, but fortunately, Wen Peifeng had a carriage to travel.
Wen Peifeng asked Gu Yin to sit in the carriage, while he squeezed on the carriage with the groom who was driving the carriage.
Two quarters later, the two arrived at Wen's house.
The sky was getting more and more gloomy, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper at the door of Wen's house was grinding his teeth while instructing his servants to clean up the snow.
After the carriage stopped, Wen Peifeng got off the carriage first, then put on the pedals, and then stepped back half a zhang to let Gu Yin get off.
When the two of them walked to the door, they heard that the official family was smiling and said: "Our old man doesn't know what kind of evil he has recently, let's find two women and Taoist families..."
Although he only said this, other people who heard this all winked and laughed weirdly - Mrs. Wen's first wife has been dead for several years, and he didn't say anything about the continuation of the marriage, and now he suddenly wants to find two unnamed women and Taoists, It's hard not to make a side-by-side association.
Gu Yin walked behind Wen Peifeng, and as soon as the wind blew, the butler's words became incomprehensible.
But Wen Peifeng listened to the truth, his face sank immediately, and he scolded: "Is the matter of the old man something that we people can talk about at will?!"
The butler seemed to be deaf, and continued to tease everyone. After Wen Peifeng had waited for a while, he turned his head and pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Our fourth young master is back? The clumsy eyes, did not meet you in person, Fourth Young Master, don't blame the villain!"
The eldest master of the Wen family has only one son, Wen Lang, while the second master has two sons.
There were only three young masters in the mansion, but the housekeeper deliberately called Wen Peifeng the fourth young master, which was to humiliate him on purpose, and told him not to use the eldest master to treat him as a half-son before his servants.
Wen Peifeng blushed with embarrassment, 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 literati, so he could only make people angry.
Then the housekeeper looked at Gu Yin who was following Wen Peifeng, and smiled again: "Fourth Young Master, this is a little lady from where to find, but Zhou Zheng looks like a born Zhou Zheng, but it's really strange to dress up. It's not worthy of it. you!"
If the other party only said himself, Wen Peifeng would endure it, but he misunderstood the innocence of the little lady for no reason, and Wen Peifeng immediately stood up!
He was about to argue with the housekeeper when he watched Gu Yin step forward from behind, and suddenly looked at the housekeeper with a blessing, "You are the master of the house, right? I'm the cook who was invited back by the shopkeeper Wen, and I was about to greet you. "
The housekeeper hurriedly avoided and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you little lady, I'm just the second housekeeper in the house. You little lady dresses strangely, and your eyes aren't very good, so you don't have the ability to see!"
Gu Yin suddenly realized that she was in a hurry to apologize, and said, "The wind and snow were so heavy that 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 butler turned his laugh into anger, "How can you be so good at hurting people? Why am I bossing around?"
"Huh? It turns out that arrogance is hurtful words. I don't understand this, and I think it's a good word to praise people for their pomp and momentum!" The voice I heard said: "Treasurer Wen, people say 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 Yin specially emphasized the sound of the word "two" in his words.
There is probably no second-in-command in the world who would like to hear people mention this.
In particular, the second housekeeper has been the housekeeper for most of his life in Wen's house. When the old man and the people from the big house came back, their confidants naturally came back, and he was demoted.
Seeing Gu Yin's sly eyes, Wen Peifeng held back 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. The little lady will not say this word next time. Don't worry, Madam, our old man, the eldest master and the eldest young master are all very kind people."
The second housekeeper turned black with anger, but Gu Yin was not yet a servant in the house, 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 a lesson.
"Before I asked you to divide a few shops for your brother and nephew, it's fine for you to choose only unprofitable shops, and let the guys deliberately embarrass them! It's okay, you still want to touch you now. The shop in your mother's dowry? How can you allocate a few rooms for your eldest brother, so you can't eat? I'm in a hurry to find supplements from your mother's dowry, you think it's beautiful!"
Mr. 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 work. He hurriedly poured hot tea for Mr. Wen and gave him a good breath, and said: "Father, don't be angry, mother has been gone for so many years. The shop in her dowry is also kept. Plus, it's not just the son's imagination. This is just because the lease of this shop has expired, and they are not renting it! If you rent it to someone else, it's better to give it directly to your son..."
Grandpa Wen waved his hand away and said, "Fuck your mother's fart! When your mother left, she said that her dowry is reserved for her granddaughter-in-law! Now Brother Lang and none of them have a family, you are the elder. Do you want to touch the things of your future niece and daughter-in-law?"
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wen also dropped the tea cup beside him.
It was windy outside, and although I couldn't hear what the old man was scolding inside, I could still feel the monstrous anger of the old man.
Wen Lang looked at Gu Yin with embarrassment, "What I just said is true, the old lady is always good-natured."
Gu Yin bent her lips and smiled reassuringly.
Mr. Wen was still inside and then pointed at Mr. Wen Er and cursed, "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, and that big bear at the door..."
Mrs. Wen squinted his dim old eyes hard, 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?"
Just when Mr. 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 leave quickly!"
Wen Peifeng was about to explain, but when Master Wen Er saw him, he became more and more disgusted. With a wave of his hand, the maids and servants all started and drove the two directly out of the study.
After leaving the study, Wen Peifeng immediately bowed his hands and apologized, "I'm sorry, little lady, I'm the one who burdened you."
If someone else brought Gu Yin here, they would not be treated like this, but I didn't expect to meet the second old man who was also eating and hanging in front of the old man. If you do, you will be kicked out.
Gu Yin shook her head, "It's a good intention that the shopkeeper Wen is willing to introduce me. I can't blame you if things don'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.
That day, the old man was kicked off the stage by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu, and he even quarreled. When he left Jinyi Lane, he was very angry. It doesn't matter who led her here, after all, 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 don't have anything long, this is Laba porridge cooked at noon. I will give it to you as a thank you gift. I hope you don't dislike it."
Shopkeeper 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 lantern.
At this time, Mrs. Wen's anger also subsided, and who was the one who called for the next person.
Knowing that it was Wen Peifeng who was here to introduce the cook to him, Mrs. Wen was ashamed and muttered: "This kid Peifeng is also, I am angry at the second child, not at him, why just leave like that. already?"
The servant didn't dare to say that Mr. Wen Er took his anger on Wen Peifeng, so he 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 had given him.
He felt more and more regretful that Gu Yin was not introduced to Mr. Wen. He heard that Mr. 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.
