PS: Thanks to kng127 for 4 pink tickets

The people of the Zhao family have different thoughts, but the day when Chen Wenhui asked everyone to go to her house has arrived. Zhao Chongyi has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

I was already very happy to see the beauty, not to mention that it was the beauty's initiative to invite, not to mention, Wen Hui also invited his sister to go to the snow with a lot of face. Could this not make him happy? Zhao Chongyi, who has always disliked dressing up, also dressed up for a long time in advance, and went to Cuijinlou to make new clothes, and asked people from Cuijinlou to come to Liu's house to make clothes for Rongxue, and took Rongxue to Jinyutang to buy jewelry.

Lang Xue also found that her brother cared about this banquet very much, thinking about it, this was really the first time she saw her future sister-in-law, this first impression was very important, so she also attached importance to this, since her brother paid for it, she didn't have to be polite, pick up the best and most beautiful to buy, and didn't have to think about money.

Speaking of which, I want to say that it is very bad to make snow in things like female red, but in terms of dressing, she is very accomplished. After all, in this era, in addition to the palace, Qinglou is the best at dressing up. Trends generally come from Qinglou. Therefore, I have lived in the Qinglou since I was a child, and later I became the red card lady of the Qinglou, and I am very good at this.

She not only dressed herself up very well, but also made a handsome dress for her brother, even matching the sachets, purses, and jade pendants. He also carefully made a new dress for the two maids around him, with a few simple but beautiful jewelry. There are also two of my brother's little servants, and the groom has changed into new clothes. After the whole thing, although Zhao Chongyi spent some money, he found that everyone was in a lot of spirit, Zhao Chongyi was very happy and said: "Rongxue, you are really ingenious, we give you such a dress, you are very energetic, so there is no shame in going to the banquet like this." ”

Rong Xue looked gloomy and said, "That's all I know." ”

Zhao Chongyi also understood what his sister meant. Regarding his sister's past, he was very distressed and said: "This is also a skill." Let me tell you. Wen Hui is actually very particular about dressing up. You see that she is famous and well-known all over the world, and she can manage cities and expand her territory. More capable than a man like me. But. She can't even embroider a purse, and she can't even compare to you with needlework. And you can still play a good hand, she can't even tie the simplest knot. Each man has his strengths and weaknesses. Forget about the past, and you'll be happy in the future. ”

It's a little unbelievable, you know, the county lord of Wen Hui is from a famous family, such a lady can't even do a needle? At this time, Liu Jingyuan had already come over from outside with his wife and children, and when he heard the words, he said: "Sister Rongxue is embarrassed to say, she must think in her heart, your eldest brother lied to you, how can this lady not know how to sew?" Sue you, not only Wen Hui can't do this, but the daughters of the four great families can't. is the crown princess in the East Palace, with a noble status and a high ability to manage housework, but she doesn't know these things like red needlework. Have you ever heard of any princess in this dynasty who knows this? ”

Now that the snow understood, he hurriedly saluted Liu Jingyuan and Mingzhu.

Mingzhu held it up and bleed it and said, "The hour is not early, let's not let our father-in-law and mother-in-law wait for a long time." ”

Saying this, Zhao Chongyi's brother and sister didn't dare to slack off, and several people went out together. Mingzhu and Rong Xue rode in a carriage, and Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan rode horses.

In the carriage, the snow was a little worried. Mingzhu understood after thinking about it and said, "Sister Rongxue, don't worry." Wen Hui is different from the ordinary Da Chu girl. In her heart, in fact, there is no distinction between high and low. For example, when my father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, our mother and daughter were bullied, no one spoke to us, no one helped us. My grandfather was a degraded official at that time, a guilty man. However, at that time, Wen Hui seemed to be only six or seven years old, and she helped me and made peace with me, and my stepfather and stepmother helped my mother and my father to reconcile, and then helped my mother get back to marry, so that I could slowly live a good life. In fact, after my mother divorced, although our mother and daughter were no longer bullied by that concubine, my mother was a person who was divorced, and many officials and eunuchs were reluctant to interact with us. However, Wen Hui still got along with me and introduced me to many friends. At that time, how happy we were. Also, my stepmother helped my mother invest and make money, opened a pharmacy, provided free clinics, and after disaster relief, she helped my mother to ask for a seal from the imperial court, so that my mother became the wife of the imperial court. Our family is getting better. ”

I don't know these things, but Mrs. Liu, who has always envied her, her mother is the director of the hospital and a famous doctor in Dachu, and her grandfather is a member of Yipin, the most famous scholar in Dachu. The uncles are all high-ranking officials, and after marrying into the Liu family, they are still low-married, and the people of the Liu family hold her in the palm of their hands. Now she's also a good one. I didn't expect that such a noble lady would have such a bumpy experience, and she was actually the daughter of a divorced woman, which is not a high status.

Mingzhu looked at Lang Xue's wide-eyed eyes, smiled and said: "In addition to me, the maids who serve her around Wen Hui are just slaves, she has taught them carefully, and now they have become talents, and some help Xiao Chen's family support a family business, such as Yinhong in Qinghe Building, Feiguang in Cuijin Building, and even some, she was directly promoted to deputy city lord, and openly became officials in Nanyang, such as Green Shoots." Now Wen Hui's most relied on right-hand man is the deputy city lord of Qingchun City, the head of Nanyang Bank, Dachu Bank, and Wan Shuhui, the financial officer of Shanghai City. ”

As if she had heard of this name, she said: "When I was shopping in the shop, I heard of her, and everyone said that she was a strange woman, very talented, and very rich. ”

Mingzhu nodded and said, "She is rich and wealthy, at least she is much richer than me, but she can't compare to Wen Hui." Do you know where she came from? ”

Lang Xue asked, "I really don't know about this." ”

Mingzhu said: "Her background is not bad, she was born in a wealthy family in Huzhou. There is no official in this family, but he is a money bank, very rich, and lives in Qingyang City. The family population is also large. In order to tie up with Yan Songbai, the assassin at that time, their family sent her concubine to Yan Songbai as a concubine. ”

I couldn't help but "Huh? "Yes.

Mingzhu sneered and said: "What's so surprising about this, those big families, looking at the scenery, in fact, what can't they do for the sake of profit?" Yan Songbai: You may not have heard of it. He was already an old man at that time. But Wan Shuhui is still a young girl, the old and young husband and wife are already ugly, she is not the only concubine, Yan Songbai is from the capital, she has a wife at home, and she is already full of children and grandchildren. Yan Songbai was a assassin in Huzhou, and his wife did not take office, so Yan Songbai took seven or eight concubines in Huzhou. Among them, Wan Shuhui is the fifth aunt. And my two sisters are also Yan Songbai's aunts. ”

Ling Xue was even more surprised, Mingzhu had never mentioned her sister-in-law.

Mingzhu continued: "Yan Songbai is lustful and doesn't treat his aunts as human beings at all, so Wan Shuhui's life in his backyard is very difficult. I was once pregnant with a child, but I was also killed by a conspiracy. Since then, they have not been able to have children. ”

Langxue couldn't help but let out another "ah".

Mingzhu continued: "This is nothing, later, Yan Songbai returned to the capital to take up his post, on the way, he kept visiting relatives and friends, and when he was interested, he casually changed the dozen or so aunts around him, and of course accepted many new ones. Wan Shuhui is very smart, she was prepared in advance, and bribed those staff and entourages around Yan Songbai with money, so that out of a dozen people, only she and my two sisters were not replaced, and the rest were all gone. ”

I couldn't help but look sad on my face. She heard a lot of such stories in the Qinglou. Most of those sisters who are good are concubines, and such stories happen almost every day.

Mingzhu said: "Finally arrived in the capital, this is the beginning of suffering. The eldest lady in the capital naturally can't accommodate these aunts. They were tortured by the eldest lady every day. Finally one day, Wan Shuhui was found by the eldest lady to find an excuse, beaten badly, and sold. ”

Rong Xue was not surprised at this time, because such things have been heard a lot in the Qinglou, and many sisters after Congliang finally returned to the Qinglou to laugh, but they were driven away by the eldest lady. There are many more that are directly killed.

Mingzhu continued: "Wan Shuhui is a smart person, she has been prepared, the people around the eldest lady have been secretly bought by her, and her two loyal maids have also been released by her, and they have already rented a house in the capital with her remaining money and are waiting. Therefore, when she was severely beaten, those subordinates showed mercy and did not ask for her life, and then when she was sold, her maid disguised herself as a rich man, bought her back, and recuperated in a rented house. After raising it for a long time before he could act, the three masters and servants hurriedly took a boat back to Qingyang City. Although Qingyang City is her hometown, she doesn't dare to go back, and if the Wanjia family dares to sacrifice her for the first time, she can give it up for the second time. Fortunately, she has left a back hand in advance, and one of her friends is the world-famous Maiden Ji Qing. ”

At this moment, Zi Xue couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's Mrs. Qing, I know this." ”

Mingzhu smiled and said: "Although Mrs. Qing is from Qinglou, she is very righteous. Wan Shuhui's money where she was, she has always kept it very well. Therefore, after Wan Shuhui came back, she found Mrs. Qing, and Mrs. Qing returned the money to her, and she lived a stable and secluded life in Qingyang City with that money. ”

At this point in the story, Ling Xue breathed a sigh of relief, this Wan Shuhui is no wonder that people say that she is a strange woman, she is really smart enough, everything has been calculated in advance, so that she can escape several times and finally save herself. (To be continued......)
