Chapter 979 Kong Zhiyou
Kong Zhiyou pursed her lips and said somewhat shyly, "Please don't make fun of me, Mr. Lu. I just got married last month. My husband's surname is Chen. How can I still be called a young lady? Let alone a distinguished guest."
Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Lu Xiang in front of me for this.
Last year, when she first came, she wanted her to do a pleasing makeup look so she could make a good impression on her grandmother when she returned from her trip. And sure enough, her grandmother, who never favored that granddaughter, surprisingly praised her for looking fresh and pretty that day, and even asked her to stay and chat with her for a while.
Later, when my father took a liking to the son of the Chen family as his son-in-law, he discussed it with my grandmother, who directly mentioned her name.
Although the Chen family wasn't extremely wealthy, both father and son were scholars. While Chen's father hadn't yet passed the imperial examination to become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination), her husband had become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination) at the age of fifteen, and his future was bright.
For Kong Zhiyou, this was a rare and wonderful marriage. Ultimately, it was Shu Yu who helped her.
Unfortunately, she left later. She did come to Yiren Pavilion a few times, but the selection of clothes was limited and no one helped her with her styling, so she stopped coming after a few times.
Last month, when she got married, she thought that if she hadn't been exiled, her makeup would have amazed everyone.
To her surprise, when they met again, everything had changed. She had married someone else, and the former Lu Dongjia had become Lu Xiangjun. Even though he envied her excellent skills, he dared not let her dress him up again.
Thinking about this, Kong Zhiyou still felt a little regretful.
She shook off the jumbled thoughts in her mind and asked again, "What did Lu Xiangjun say he wanted to buy just now?"
Shu Yu looked at her hair, which was styled in a bun, and realized what was going on.
"I want to buy a horse, but I haven't found a suitable one."
Kong Zhiyou laughed, "Buying horses? You'll have to ask Yuehua about that."
"Ask her?"
Kong Zhiyou nodded. "You haven't been in Jiangyuan County for long, so you might not know much about things. Ding Yuehua's sister-in-law married into the family from Donggu County. Her family in Donggu County is in the livestock business. Not to mention cattle and donkeys, they even have quite a few horses on their estate in the suburbs. And they have connections, so they can find only the best horses. Not only are the wealthy families in Donggu County eager to buy their horses, but people from the prefectural city also come to them. If you want to buy a horse, just ask Yuehua."
Shu Yu's eyes lit up. "I really didn't know that."
"Is Lord Lu in a hurry? If so, let's go to the Fan family now and ask Yuehua. I haven't seen her in a long time, so why don't we go together?"
Shu Yu checked the time; it was still early. Seeing Kong Zhiyou's enthusiasm, she nodded, "Okay, let's go ask first."
She turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I'll go over first. Don't overwork yourself, take a rest when you need to."
"I know, I know, there are so many people in this shop."
It's not just the old lady and Shu You here. Business has been pretty good these past few days. Shu Yu was worried that her sister wouldn't be able to handle it all, so she asked a maid from the mansion to come and help out. This maid is the sixteen-year-old daughter of the Zhong family, named Zhong Shiliu.
With Hua Xian always by the old lady's side, that's more than enough.
Shu Yu reluctantly said goodbye to the old lady and then got into the car with Kong Zhiyou.
Kong Zhiyou was a little envious of her, "Your grandmother dotes on you."
Shu Yu was taken aback, then realized her situation. She knew that her family relationships were complicated, and that she had to fight and scheme to gain her grandmother's favor.
