After the Xiao family made such a fuss, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.

Those who watch the play watch the play, and those who have doubts whisper.

It's one play on stage, and another play off stage.

Things in the house seem simple but are not.

Under the smiling faces, no one knew what kind of heart the other party was hiding, because they were all cultivating perfectly.

"Mrs. Xun, I remember the second young master, and I haven't married yet?" Sitting next to Mrs. Xun, wearing a rouge flower carved silk silver mouse jacket, a green plate gold embroidered cotton skirt, and a green satin gray mouse gown outside, the noble lady asked with a smile, "I don't know which girl you are looking at now?" ”

When Mrs. Xun heard this, she smiled helplessly: "Mrs. Zhang, hey, ......"

Wen Zhonghuai, the second young master of the Wen family, almost has nothing to choose from his appearance to his character. But his brain is a little pedantic, and he has been studying tirelessly over the years, hoping to get a good reputation. Wen Zhonghuai, who is now a well-known person, has never thought of getting married. Mrs. Xun was sad and sent a lot of young and pretty maids to Wen Zhonghuai's side. In desperation, Wen Zhonghuai reluctantly accepted a mute girl to make a room, so he no longer wanted superfluous people to serve by his side.

Mrs. Xun frowned when she thought of this, there are so many beautiful girls, why do you have to find a dumb girl to make a room.

"The second young master is an ambitious person, so he will act like this." Mrs. Zhang smiled and looked at the girl not far away, "This is the daughter of my cousin's family, and she has just arrived at Lu. I don't know if the second young master of Lu Dao can take a look? ”

When Mrs. Zhang said this, it was naturally because she was drunk and did not mean to drink, and Mrs. Xun could only laugh but not make a sound.

Xia Ruan sat beside Mrs. Xun and listened to it from beginning to end. To say that the Zhang family has the support of the elder pavilion in the capital, how many people can't climb the relationship. But now that the Zhang family is willing to come and have a relationship with the Wen family, it seems that her guess is correct. The Wen family is already slowly rising, so Mrs. Zhang is so anxious to say it.

And the performance of Mrs. Xun and Master Wen just now, Mrs. Zhang saw it all, she didn't say that she was afraid of losing the chess pieces in her hand before, but now seeing the general trend coming, she chose the time to make her words clear.

It's just that Mrs. Zhang is afraid that she will be disappointed.

"Hey, don't hide it from my sister, this Zhonghuai ......." Mrs. Xun frowned and thought for a long time before she said slowly, "Every time I talk to him about this, he can't wait to hide his ears and leave." Last time, I thought I'd find him a good family anyway. But who knew that he actually told me that he wanted to promote the room around him to the main room. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a while, the second young master of the Xia family was notoriously stubborn. If he forcibly sends someone to his side, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, and Mrs. Zhang can only smile helplessly when she thinks of this.

"Don't get in the way, next time I'll ask Yuelang to come over and persuade him." Mrs. Zhang replied casually, but she began to want to give up this family business in her heart. If you want to have a relationship with the Wen family, you don't necessarily have to take this step.

After listening to Mrs. Zhang's words, Xia Ruan felt a little ridiculous.

What kind of person is Zhang Yuelang? Where can I talk to Wen Zhonghuai?

This Wen Zhonghuai is a ruthless person, and he will be a great person in the future.

Among the several capable talents around Xiao Shaocheng back then, there was this Wen Zhonghuai. This is also the reason why the four princes will look up to the Wen family and accept the Wen family's girl as a concubine.

Xia Ruan thought of the past, and inevitably felt a little sad in her heart, but she also understood that she couldn't get too close to the Wen family.

"Are you Xia Ruan? The one who sold cotton at a high price the other day? Wen Ruyan had already sat down at this time, with a hint of envy in her eyes, "I heard the second brother talk about you." ”

Xia Ruan was just distracted, and she didn't pay much attention to the fourth young sister of the Wen family, but she didn't want people to be interested in her affairs.

Wen Ruyan smiled, and before waiting for Xia Ruan's answer, she continued, "My second brother has never liked to praise people, especially girls. But a few days ago he praised you, saying that you are ...... That's right, say you're a smart person. ”

In Wen Ruyan's words, there is actually an exaggeration, Xia Ruan knows the truth. Wen Zhonghuai had never met her, so how could he mention her for no reason? It's just that Wen Ruyan heard about this and talked about it in front of Wen Zhonghuai, so Wen Zhonghuai would comment like this.

At this time, Wen Ruyan said this, in fact, she had ideas, her second cousin Xia Qinghe often came to the Wen family to walk around, in order to take a few more glances at the handsome Wen Zhonghuai.

It's a pity that after all, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.

The fourth lady laughed. Xia Ruan smiled, still with an attitude of not being humble or humble.

Wen Ruyan gritted her teeth and said to her mother: "Mother, you were there that day, the second brother praised the third miss in front of us, right?" When I told Miss Three about this, she didn't believe it. Even the eldest brother said that among the girls of the Xia family, that is, the third young lady, could do such a dazzling thing. ”

Wen Ruyan seemed to be talking to Mrs. Xun, but her eyes glanced at Zhao not far away from time to time.

The fourth lady's words criticized Xia Qingya and Xia Qinghe for nothing.

Xia Ruan thought that these four young ladies really held grudges, and they also liked to make trouble for others.

Because Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Xun, her face was already a little blue.

"You girl, you know all about nonsense." Mrs. Xun is no better than Wen Ruyan, as the master, she doesn't want to offend anyone, especially the Zhang family.

Mrs. Zhang had just personally told Wen Zhonghuai about her family affairs, and she finally found an excuse to refuse. But isn't his daughter's words tantamount to stepping on the Zhang family together? After what happened just now, Mrs. Xun felt a little pitiful for Xia Ruan, but now she seems to be even more innocent.

But this is not true, Wen Zhonghuai, who has never liked to talk much that day, was Kuaxia Ruan did a good job in this matter. A lot of cotton was harvested at a low price, and while everyone was waiting for the price of cotton to continue to rise, Xia Ruan sold the cotton again.

At that time, the price of cotton was four times higher than usual, and no one knew what it would look like, and they were reluctant to sell it. Only Xia Ruan saw the situation clearly and walked out early.

Later, the price of cotton fell back, and many merchants' bowels were green.

In fact, Mrs. Xun invited Xia Ruan to come today, and she also deliberately mentioned her relationship with Wen Zhonghuai. But after Mrs. Zhang said this just now, she knew that this thing could not be done, she rejected the Zhang family, so how could she come to find the Xia family?

Wen Ruyan was a little unwilling in her heart, and after a long time, she could only nod and say, "My daughter knows that she is wrong." ”

When Xia Ruan heard this, he felt a little relieved.

But after today, the Zhang family will definitely notice her, and it will be a little more difficult to do this business in the future.

It's just that the eldest aunt has lost face, how to explain it to the eldest aunt? If the eldest aunt can settle down for a few days and let her mother give birth to her younger siblings smoothly, it will be worth it for her to have more difficulties in doing business. Thinking of this, Xia Ruan's lips slowly turned up.
