Chapter 19: Faith is restored
After this day's party, Wan Qiaozhen drank a few glasses of wine and was a little drunk, took a carriage, and sent Huang Yuyan home first, in the carriage, Wan Qiaozhen said: "I hope that Sister Caiyu's matter can be solved as much as possible, these years, Sister Caiyu has worked hard enough, if it can be solved smoothly, Sister Caiyu's future can also have a good way out." Hey, all of us are in the light of Wenhui. It's rare that Wen Hui not only treats us so well all the time, but also plans for us, which is really rare. ”
Huang Yuyan was also a little drunk and said, "Isn't it?" We are all older than her, but we are inferior to her in all aspects of knowledge and ability. Although her family background is better, but I haven't seen a family girl, it's really rare to be so capable like her, and she values sisterhood so much, and it's also our luck. ”
When Wan Qiaozhen heard this, she laughed and said, "Speaking of luck, among the sisters, the two of us are the luckiest. You see that although Sister Mingzhu is living happily now, how much suffering did she suffer when she was a child? Sister Caiyu won't talk about it, and now she's still soaking in bitter juice. There is also Yaozhen and Shuyu, who are high in the palace, although they are enjoying the glory and wealth, the torment in their hearts is more severe than that of others. Yingyu, it's also very difficult to live in her mother-in-law's house, and she can't even come to the party with us. I can't even recognize my mother's family. In this way, some are bitter first and then sweet, some are sweet and then bitter, and only the two of us are lucky. ”
Huang Yuyan thought for a while, and then said, "What my sister said is very true, and I am also lucky." Originally, my father was just a petty official, but because he followed Lord Chen. It took no effort all the way, and it soared, to the point where it is now a second-grade product. This is a strong master who is better than an ancestor. Our family has also become rich, and I have become a Jiangnan celebrity. Later, I married into the Yan family, because my mother's family was powerful and the dowry was rich, although my mother-in-law was a little difficult, but she was still very good on the big picture, and she never let me suffer real grievances, but it was not very smooth. ”
Wan Qiaozhen said: "Me too." Our family was originally considered a rich family. Ever since my cousin married the Chen family. Our family's business and power have increased greatly, and our children have prospered. Not only did the business get better, but some of the children went to Yizhou Island to become officials. When I got married. The dowry was extraordinarily rich. arrived at Cao's house. Because I have a lot of dowry. The power of the mother's family is getting bigger and bigger, and it is considered to stand out among the concubines, and they are extremely lucky. gave birth to two sons in a row and was treated favorably by her mother-in-law. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Yuyan couldn't help laughing, Wan Qiaozhen is really lucky in this regard.
Wan Qiaozhen continued: "This is nothing, that year, the sea trade just started, Wen Hui in Shanghai City, I was entrusted by my family, I went to Shanghai City to find Wen Hui to help, as a result, Wen Hui did not say a word, so he taught people to take our Cao family to start the sea trade business." In the past few years, our Cao family's wealth has increased several times, and the elders and concubines in the family say that it is my credit. Actually, I didn't ask about business matters at all, just taking care of the children every day, eating, drinking, and playing. Where is the credit? This time, Wen Hui came to Jiangnan and pointed out a way for our family to make a fortune, and asked us to go to the northwest to do porcelain business. I think that the Cao family's business will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future. Needless to say, it's my credit for the future. ”
Huang Yuyan couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm already lucky, compared to my sister, it's still not comparable, you are really lucky, you don't have to do anything, you already have three major credits on you." gave birth to two boys in a row, not to mention, it is wonderful to admire, and the credit for good business is also counted on your head. ”
Wan Qiaozhen also smiled and said: "No, I'm a person who doesn't know anything about business, and now I actually have three major credits." Hey, speaking of which, the last two great credits are all thanks to Wen Hui. Thank her so much. ”
Huang Yuyan said: "Not really. However, we all begged Wen Hui, but Wen Hui didn't have a place to ask us. You see, she is a very powerful minister, so powerful in Nanyang, and so rich. Our dowry is nothing compared to none of hers. Also, how good her husband is to see her. I just heard that my mother-in-law is not very good. However, Wen Hui is not a weak person, you see that she rectified her mother-in-law. ”
Speaking of this, the two of them remembered at the same time what Wen Hui said about fighting with her mother-in-law and giving it to her father-in-law. The two men burst into laughter.
Huang Yuyan said: "We can't catch up with her." I just hope that she can always be smooth and smooth. Speaking of which, I have to seriously consider Wen Hui's construction, prepare well, and go to Nanyang next year after my husband Jun Zhongju. ”
Wan Qiaozhen hurriedly asked, "Have you really decided to go to Nanyang?" Hey, such a good thing, if it were me, I would have gone too. However, it was good for you to go, but I have one less friend here. ”
Huang Yuyan smiled and said, "Isn't there still Sister Caiyu?" When the time comes, Sister Caiyu will get rid of the Wang family and no longer shrink in Ancheng, aren't you equal to having one more friend? ”
Wan Qiaozhen thought about it, in fact, when she was a child, she and Lan Caiyu had a better relationship. It's just that after getting married later, Lan Caiyu has always been unhappy and unwilling to interact with friends. However, it won't be like this in the future, in the future, after Lan Caiyu and Li, she will have to come forward to do business, it seems that she is going to stay in Jiangnan, and when the time comes, won't the two of them be able to communicate often. Thinking of this, Wan Qiaozhen became happy again.
The two of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Yan's house, Huang Yuyan got out of the car and said goodbye, and Wan Qiaozhen continued to go back to her home.
Lan Caiyu, whom they just said, returned to Lan's house in the car alone. When I arrived in my yard, I changed my clothes, drank a cup of strong tea to get rid of the smell of wine, and was about to go to greet my mother. The maid beside Madame Lan has already come to invite. Lan Caiyu hurriedly followed the big girl to Mrs. Lan's upper room.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that my brother, brother, father, and mother were all in front of me. It's just that the brothers and daughters-in-law are not there. Lan Caiyu hadn't saluted yet, and Mrs. Lan hurriedly asked.
Lan Caiyu told Chen Wenhui and Huang Yuyan their ideas.
Master Lan was very happy and said, "This is a good idea, I didn't expect that this Yan grandmother was proficient in the law at a young age. I think it's a good idea. Caiyu, you go back to Ancheng tomorrow, I will send your eldest brother to go back with you, and make a good fuss with the Wang family according to this method, and strive to get the money and leave. In fact, as long as the Wang family is willing to give you the child, even if it doesn't give you money. None of your brothers are stingy, and I'll make it up to you in the future. 200,000 taels of silver is not a big deal in our Lan family. ”
Lan Caiyu hurriedly said: "I know that my brothers, father, and mother all love me and feel sorry for me. I don't care about the money, it's just that it's what I'm supposed to take. The child I gave birth to is also a child of the Wang family. Besides, if this thing can be done smoothly, I will have to live alone with the children in the future, and I don't want to drag down my mother's family. The county lord of Wen Hui also said, when I leave, it is almost time for the Wang family to fall, and when the Wang family falls, she will let the Xiao Chen family give me the soybean oil monopoly to run the Wanjia. I also need the capital to start this business. ”
Seeing that his daughter's thinking was clear, Master Lan had obviously cheered up, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart and said, "Good boy, as long as you can cheer up, we will be happy." Speaking of which, we mistook you, I thought that the Wang family and we were close to each other, and they would definitely let you live well, where did you know that the Wang family treated you like this, we saw how you suffered before, and how uncomfortable it was in our hearts. Now as long as you can get better, even if you don't do business, can our Lan family still support your mother and son? ”
Lan Caiyu shook her head and said, "I didn't blame my parents for my matter. Who would have thought that the Wang family would become like this? If only my business is settled. I also want to take this opportunity to start a soybean oil business. Lord Wen Hui told me about Wan Shuhui. She can raise a family, and now she still has an official position. Where am I inferior to her? I will definitely be able to build a family for my sons and daughters that is no less than the royal family. ”
Master Lan couldn't help but say, "My daughter is an ambitious person. Good. The idea is good. Our family will definitely support you. When the time comes, you must open your mouth when the business needs it. ”
Lan Caiyu's brothers also said that they would definitely help their sister or sister.
Lan Caiyu thanked her first.
Master Lan said: "Since this is the decision, let's discuss it carefully." First, let's discuss how to fight with the Wang family, and strive to solve this matter as soon as possible. Second, as for the soybean oil business, in fact, if it is run well, it is no less than our Lan family's cotton cloth business, and the money we will make in the future may be more than the money that the Wang family makes from doing the bank business now. ”
Lan Caiyu's brother said: "What my father said is very true, in fact, in recent years, more and more people have grown beans, and there are too many more raw materials than in previous years. Moreover, the taste of soybean oil stir-fry has been accepted by the people. There is also a market. The Wang family actually makes a lot of money every year because of this. However, they think that this is slow to make money, no bank makes money fast, and not as fast as them to snatch money, so they are not valued by the Wang family. The development is not good. If my sister takes over, with my sister's ability, our family's connections in various places, and the construction of more workshops, this business will definitely be very profitable. ”
Lan Caiyu was very happy to hear this, and seriously discussed it with her father, brother, and younger brothers.
When Madame Lan saw this scene, tears of joy flowed out. It seems that the unfortunate life of the hard-working daughter should be far away. In the future, her daughter will live a new life, and this time, the Lan family must protect it with all her heart and can't let her daughter be wronged again. (To be continued......)
