Hearing this, Zuo Yutang looked at her with confusion, "Please, Sister Yu will make it clear."
Yu Jinxi looked at her and asked, "Does the Zuo family have rules that do not allow children to run private businesses?"
Zuo Yutang shook his head, "No, but these general affairs are handled by my mother, and the servants manage them, and she checks them."
Hearing this, Yu Jinxi said, "The price of things that are urgently sold will not be very good, but your cousin-in-law is in urgent need of this money to live, so instead of selling it to others, it is better for you to buy it and take care of it yourself."
"If you don't want to get involved with others, find someone to deal with it and don't come forward yourself, so that everyone can feel at ease."
Zhang Suying nodded, "Sister Yu is right. If you don't want to lose your cousin, you might as well pay for it yourself."
After saying this, Zuo Yutang was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed, "Yinzi, I have a way, but I really don't understand the general affairs of the restaurant, I'm afraid it won't be managed well."
Yu Jinxi understood that it was not that Zuo Yutang had never thought about this idea. He might have thought about it, but he had no concrete plan to implement it.
"Now that Sister Yutang has spoken, I have another idea."
Zuo Yutang's eyes lit up, "Sister Yu, please speak."
"My mother-in-law is an imperial merchant, and the dowry given to me also included several shops. Now those shops have been sold, and I have a few trusted confidants. If you don't mind, I can cooperate with you."
As soon as Yu Jinxi finished speaking, Zuo Yutang nodded immediately, "Okay, Sister Yu, I will listen to you."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you if you agree so quickly?" Yu Jinxi laughed dumbly.
Zuo Yutang said seriously, "To be honest with you sister, I have heard a little bit about the Gu family, and I have also inquired about it privately. Since I can trust Sister Yu, I will definitely not doubt you."
"Su Ying, what about you?" Yu Jinxi looked at Zhang Suying who was standing aside.
Zhang Suying said with some embarrassment, "If you have any spare money, I'll ask my mother and brother to ask for it, but it may not be too much..."
Zuo Yutang looked happy as if his wish had come true, "You will be a big help to me if you can participate."
Yu Jinxi said, "Now that it's settled, I'll have someone come and check the specific situation with you another day. Don't delay your cousin-in-law's affairs."
"Okay!" Zuo Yutang nodded heavily.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Suying said, "Wait a minute, I have one more thing."
Hearing this, Zuo Yutang and Yu Jinxi both looked at her suspiciously.
Zhang Suying looked at Zuo Yutang and said word by word, "It's a matter of the Ding family."
Zuo Yutang said, "I will inform my grandfather about this."
The implication is that she will not handle it privately.
Yu Jinxi said, "Mrs. Zhang should also know what the Ding family has done. I think Mrs. Zhang hates evil and will not tolerate Mrs. Ding's behavior."
Zhang Suying said, "Not only is Mrs. Ding hateful, Ding Yuyuan is also hateful."
Yu Jinxi advised, "Su Ying, the Ding family is not a small family. This matter must be taken slowly."
She doesn't object to Zhang Suying's retaliation, but she must protect herself before retaliating.
"Sister Yu is right. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. There is no need to confront each other tit for tat at the cusp of the storm. It is best to grasp the handle and kill with one blow."
Zuo Yutang was poking the milk tea in the pot, his expression was leisurely, his tone was calm, but every word he spoke was precise.
Yu Jinxi couldn't help but look at her one more time.
It was already afternoon when we came out of Zuo's house.
Originally, I was just drinking tea at Zuo's house. I didn't want to run into Mrs. Zuo and be left to eat again.
Mrs. Zuo came from a well-known family and looked very serious. She left the meal but did not eat with them, saying that it would make it easier for them to chat more freely.
Zuo Yutang and Zhang Suying were young girls, and she was already married. Yu Jinxi wanted to leave, but Mrs. Zuo kept her here, saying that they were of similar age and it would be more lively to play together.
In Mrs. Zuo's eyes, Yu Jinxi didn't see any look of disgust. Like Mrs. Zhang, she was very kind to herself.
On the way back, Zhang Suying got on Yu Jinxi's carriage. Yu Jinxi had no choice but to ask the coachman to take her back first.
When Yu Jinxi saw Zhang Suying leaning on the carriage and looking around, he smiled and teased her, "If you don't sit in your own spacious carriage, why are you squeezing my little shabby carriage?"
Zhang Suying looked at her innocently, "It's convenient to talk to my sister."
"You've been talking for a long time today, haven't you said enough yet?"
"No."
Zhang Suying shook her head, and then said mysteriously, "And I guess sister must have something to ask me. Do I know?"
"oh?"
Yu Jinxi became interested, "Tell me, what do I want to ask?"
Zhang Suying said, "The Duke of Yue has his own lawsuit. Isn't Sister Yu interested in this matter?"
"You know again?" Yu Jinxi smiled helplessly.
Zhang Suying nodded, "Probably only my sister doesn't know about this matter. Most of the noble family members in the capital know about it."
The exchanges between family members may appear to be mutual interactions, but in fact they are nothing more than inquiring about gossip and gossip, and then analyzing the things that are beneficial to oneself from these messy things.
Mrs. Zhang has her own methods, but Yu Jinxi is "not deeply involved in the world", so the news is really limited.
"If you really want to tell me, then stop being so secretive."
Seeing that Yu Jinxi really pressed the question, Zhang Suying said with a smile, "I knew Sister Yu was interested."
Yu Jinxi raised her hand and acted mischievously, causing Zhang Suying to beg for mercy again and again, "Good sister, I don't dare to do it anymore, I won't show off anymore..."
Yu Jinxi then stopped and said, "Let's talk about it carefully."
Zhang Suying wiped the tears from the corners of her smiling eyes, and then slowly explained the reason.
It turned out that the Duke of Yue was also involved in the case of buying and selling official titles some time ago. Although the emperor did not impose a severe punishment, he ordered the Duke of Yue to make up for the missing money.
Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue calculated that he actually owed more than five hundred thousand taels of silver. The Duke of Yue could naturally use this money, but if he just used it, his family would have to live in poverty.
The Duke of Yue had three sons in total. The eldest was born to his ex-wife. The ex-wife had difficulty in giving birth and fell ill. She died less than a year after giving birth to the child.
The Duke of Yue married his current wife, who was the biological mother of the second and third children. She was not born in the same mother's womb. Naturally, she was unwilling to share the money, so she made a fuss about dividing the family. When the public was in a hurry, he became angry.
The Duke of Yue fell ill, and now the family is even more chaotic. The wife of the Duke of Yue has issued a message. Whoever wants to separate the family and does not bear this responsibility can take his wife and children out to live alone, but the prerequisite is that they are not allowed to be taken away from the house. Every penny is tantamount to severing the relationship completely.
In fact, when you hear this, you will understand that the words of the Duke of Yue's wife were specifically meant for the eldest son of the Duke of Yue.
The eldest son of the Duke of Yue was really tough. He actually brought his wife and children out, and he didn't take away any of the Duke's property, but he took away his mother's dowry.
Now everything owned by the Duke of Yue belongs to the current Duke of Yue, his wife and children. Likewise, they have to pay off the debt. This is why they are anxious to sell the restaurant to split the money.
If it were in the past, the second young master of the Duke of Yue would definitely not take this small amount of money seriously. This is not because he is encountering difficulties. No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat.
If Zuo Yutang's cousin hadn't claimed to have some relationship with Zuo Shangshu, her cousin wouldn't have been able to get a penny from this restaurant. This is why her cousin fell ill and her cousin went to far away to find Zuo Yu. The root cause in front of Tang.
