Chapter 144: Charity in Different Directions
Lang Xue said: "Zhao Yufei has failed to find fault several times, and she looks at me more and more unpleasantly." But there is no way to deal with me, and there are also bad moves. For example, I was asked to wet my skirt, pushed me down the pond, and had people rub my feet. However, when my clothes were dirty, the maids brought me a few sets of clothes to change every time. When I changed clothes, I always took the Han sisters or a few other sisters to accompany me. Her plan won't work. For the rest, because the maids my sister-in-law gave me had a few kung fu, a few of her maids pushed me, and before they reached out to me, they had already been pushed by my maids backhanded. β
Chen Wenhui laughed when she heard this.
Rong Xue also smiled and said: "After so many times, she didn't help me, but the girls in the capital all grew up struggling in their own homes, and these roads are not clear, so naturally they all know that she has a grudge with me, so every time they meet, try to avoid her." She came down several times, but she made her reputation stink. I have a reputation for being tolerant and generous, which is funny to think about. β
Chen Wenhui was even happier when she heard it.
Lang Xue also said: "Actually, her methods are all children's methods, where can they be compared to when I was in the building for a few years, that method is called cruel." After seeing those cruel methods, I am not angry with the methods of a child like her. β
When Chen Wenhui heard this, she felt that she was too pitiful when she was a child, so she couldn't help grabbing her hand and said softly: "Okay, those are all over, and now you are the noble daughter of Da Chu." With a noble status, a wealthy family, and a young and beautiful person, it would be good to find a wishful husband in the next step. β
At the mention of Ruyi Langjun, Lang Xue didn't know why, and suddenly remembered Mu Li Gongzi's deep face, and couldn't help but blush.
Chen Wenhui noticed something wrong this time, and hurriedly asked, "What, you already have a sweetheart?" Whose son? β
Rong Xuefan blushed and said, "I don't have a sweetheart." β
Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "The atmosphere in the capital is very open. Although the ladies generally avoid men in their gatherings, however. There are also opportunities to meet those famous sons. Don't you have one in the picture? β
Lang Xue knew that her sister-in-law was a cheerful person and didn't like those roundabout things, so she said directly: "I often participate in opportunities in the capital, tea parties and the like." Those so-called nobles in the capital have seen a lot. Thereinto. There are also some people. Pursue mine. The one who handed us a name in the house. However, I didn't like it. β
At this moment, Chen Wenhui asked strangely: "Why?" β
Lang Xue said: "It's not that the nobles in the capital are not good. It's just, those noble sons. Okay, they won't attend our rallies, and some of them who attend for some reason don't look down on me. As for the gentlemen, they pursued me a lot. However, I am not an ordinary boudoir woman, and I get dizzy after a few sweet words. I've seen a lot of their gossip, and I don't like them very much. Therefore, I have never found one that catches my eye. β
In this way, Chen Wenhui understands.
Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "This doesn't matter, you can look for it slowly, it may be that fate has not arrived." Your brother and I will be going to the northwest in a short time. You know that, too. We're preparing. We want to keep you in the capital. I have entrusted your marriage to my mother and Sister Mingzhu to keep an eye on you, maybe it will take a while to meet the person you are destined to meet. At that time, your brother or I will come from the northwest to arrange your marriage. β
The snow powder is red. Ordinary families would not talk about such things to unmarried women. However, where is Chen Wenhui an ordinary person, she is a person of the century, and what she says is the truth.
Lang Xue couldn't care about being shy, and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for bothering." Please rest assured, sister-in-law, I can live well in the capital. Is such a big county lord's mansion enough for me to live in? As for the marriage, let's talk about it later. My sister-in-law and brother have a great responsibility and have a lot of responsibility, so don't worry about my affairs. β
Speaking of this, the figure of Mu Li Gongzi involuntarily appeared in Langxue's heart again.
Chen Wenhui nodded with satisfaction. This kid is good at this, knowing how to advance and retreat. It's very worry-free, this sister-in-law is much more sensible than Zhao Yufei's sister-in-law.
Fortunately, Zhao Chongyi's favorite sister-in-law is to make snow instead of Zhao Yufei.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui said: "Don't talk about this, it's all in the future." This time we went to southern Xinjiang, and your brother won you a lot of dowry. β
Then he began to talk about Zhao Chongyi's two martial arts competitions, as well as some customs and habits in southern Xinjiang, and Zhao Chongyi's winning.
When it comes to wonderful places, Langxue is also worried, shocked, and laughing.
In the end, Chen Wenhui said: "Your brother worked hard to get nearly 100,000 taels of silver. We have bought things in southern Xinjiang, and I have already sold more than half of them for you in Jiangnan, and I have bought some things in Jiangnan, and now, these goods are counted down, there are about 200,000 taels of silver. I'm going to let people hand it over to you, don't you still have a shop? It depends on your means, if you manage these goods well, your shop can also gain a foothold in the capital, specializing in some goods in southern Xinjiang and Jiangnan. Our Zhao family has set up a caravan, and we can supply you continuously in the future. When the time comes, you will have one more way to make money. At the very least, these goods were sold in the capital, and there were 400,000 taels of silver. After we leave, you will be idle anyway, so you can use it to invest, buy land, buy shops, and do business. In the future, this will be your dowry, if you lose money, your dowry will be less, and if you make money, your dowry will be more. Think of it as a practitioner. β
The snow is already speechless, such a large sum of money is still practiced? If this is really well managed, according to what Chen Wenhui said, at least 400,000 taels of silver will come into the account, so how rich will he be with the industry in his hands before? Lang Xue was a little speechless.
Chen Wenhui is smiling and chanting to enjoy flowers and drink tea.
After half a ring, Lang Xue came over in a daze and said, "Thank you brother and sister-in-law for worrying about me, but I am a girl's family, why do you want so much money?" β
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Naturally, you don't need much money now, just buy some rouge gouache, clothes and jewelry, drink tea and chat, and go out to the banquet every month." There are also some servants who can be rewarded at any time, such as their own servants, friends and sisters, and so on. In addition, it is to give some small gifts between friends, two thousand taels of silver a year is enough, if there are five thousand taels of silver, it is the most extravagant among the girls in the capital. β
"That's not going to cost that much money. But you will be married. Is this girl's dowry, it's not too much. If you have money in your hands, whether your in-laws treat you well or badly in the future, you will be able to live a good life. Come to think of it, you don't need to say it to you. β
Rongxue is not a girl's family that does not eat fireworks in the world, she has a complex background and understands the meaning of money better than ordinary people.
Chen Wenhui continued: "Even if you haven't been married in the past two years, it is a good thing that you have money in your hands, and you can realize some of your wishes. For example, doing good deeds. The girl's house at the gate of the mansion, if you dress up every day, go to banquets, visit the garden, or bury your head in reading, composing poems, painting, playing the piano, and being a female celebrity, it is not interesting, and it is not a clichΓ©. First, we must learn to operate, so as not to be a rice worm that eats and waits for death. Second, there must be some pursuits. For example, Sister Mingzhu likes to do good deeds. β
"You can do good. However, the direction of her good deeds is to cure the sick and save people, and to treat and administer medicine. Can you go any further? For example, helping some girls and daughters-in-law who are unable to support themselves. Give them jobs and learn skills so that they can support themselves with their own hands and not be forced to fall into that place by life. Also, if you know that there is a noble woman in that place, you can help her out of the fire pit. β
These words shocked Rong Xue, she had never thought about it.
In the past, my sister-in-law told me about Wan Shuhui, so that Rong Xue had a direction, that is, to become capable, and she could become a strong woman like Wan Shuhui in the future.
In order to achieve this goal, she worked hard to learn to calculate accounts, learn to read account books, and learn to operate. Finally, in the past six months, the entire mansion has been managed in an orderly manner, and the industries assigned to him have been well managed, and the profits are not bad. For this, in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, she has made a reputation, and many families think that she is not only beautiful, but also capable, and is most suitable to marry back as a daughter-in-law.
This, although she didn't fancy those people, but it also made her a little proud.
Now, Chen Wenhui has shown her another way.
This path was something she had never thought of before, but it made her heart more exciting than being a capable woman.
Because, her previous dark experience made her understand better than anyone what the feeling of a woman who fell into the land of fireworks, and how much she hoped that someone could save her from the fire pit.
I am lucky to recognize my brother, and my brother and sister-in-law have always loved her, rescued her, and gave her a rich and happy life now, but how many lucky people can there be like myself in the world? Most people are stuck in the sludge, so that the heavens should not be called the earth's spirits. Think about how vicious my mother was when I was a child in that place, and how much suffering she had suffered because she was not good at learning. Later, after becoming an Oiran, he suffered many grievances and hardships in his career of selling jokes. There are so many things like this. If you can save such a person, how meaningful it is. My sister-in-law is such a smart person, why didn't she think of it before? (To be continued......)
