Chapter 272: An Encounter Between Sisters
Mingzhu was happy from the bottom of her heart when she heard this, and said, "Oh, Sister Caiyu, do you know if you are here in Jitai?" Wen Hui and I didn't know how much to worry about you before, where could I know that Wang Zhicheng was that person, I used to look okay, he was a shrewd person, where did I know, I turned my face when I said that I would turn my face, and I actually treated you like this for the sake of the two fox spirits, it was really infuriating, I thought about helping you out several times, and went to clean up the two fox spirits, but Wen Hui was pulled back. It's okay now, this time your mother-in-law helped you clean up, it couldn't be better, now, Wang Zhicheng is good to you, right? ”
Caiyu was very moved, and said: "Hey, it's better than our sisters, better than my sisters-in-law, thinking of Yingyu, I can't stop my tears." ”
Tears really fell as he spoke.
Wen Hui hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Yingyu, she didn't come to the last party, I don't know what's wrong?" ”
Caiyu said: "Hey, I was angry in the Wang family before, and she didn't help me, but she actually helped Shuyu to speak, saying that Yaozhen is not good, isn't this angry with me?" What kind of person Shuyu is, I don't know? Not to mention anything else, before Shuyu and Yaozhen left the pavilion, what Shuyu did at that party and what she said, don't everyone know? How could it be Yaozhen looking for trouble for Shuyu? It is clearly Shuyu's stubble looking for Yaozhen. I heard that because the princess was pregnant and gave birth to a child, the prince could not enter the princess's room, and the prince went to Yaozhen most of them, and Shuyu went very little, obviously not favored, how could Shuyu's temper endure it? Naturally, I kept looking for trouble with Yaozhen. ”
Wen Hui didn't know this. Mingzhu said, "Isn't it? Because Ah Yuan is in charge of some things in the prince's mansion, he knows more, he said. This Shuyu has always looked down on Yaozhen, saying that Yaozhen is the daughter of a merchant, where is she worthy of being a concubine to the prince, and where can she be like a scholar. Also, Shuyu is also unpopular in the house, and she is that person, where can she look at those slaves in her eyes. As for the eunuchs, those eunuchs are all human spirits from the palace, seeing Shuyu like this, they respect her openly, and secretly give her a stumbling block. The princess was kind to her on the surface, but secretly connived at those subordinates to bully Shuyu. It's a pity that Shuyu, a fool, not only did not anger the princess, but got close to the princess. just sprinkled all the anger on Yaozhen's head. Where is there still a little bit of sisterhood. Yaozhen is also a good one. There are many people in the family who marry each other, and they are active and kind. often gives tips to people, so all the people in the house say good things about her. They all say that Shuyu is not good, you say, is this Shuyu troublesome with Yaozhen or Yaozhen with trouble with Shuyu? ”
Caiyu listened and said: "Although I don't know in detail, but Yaozhen has played together since childhood, Shuyu is my cousin, and I grew up together, what kind of character each person has, I don't know yet?" Hey, this Shuyu is really stupid. should be their sisters to fight the princess, how can they fight in their own nest? ”
After speaking, she suddenly remembered that the princess was Wen Hui's cousin, and she couldn't help blushing, and said brightly: "Well, Wen Hui, I made a mistake in my words, don't take it to heart." ”
Wen Hui smiled and said: "What is this, although that is my cousin, we have not been together since we were children, you know, my father is a concubine, where can he compare with a big girl like her?" But Yaozhen is different, the sisters we have been joking about since childhood, which one is close, I don't know? ”
Caiyu and Mingzhu were warm in their hearts, and Wen Hui continued: "I just don't know how Sister Yingyu is doing in the Li family?" ”
Speaking of this, Caiyu's eyes turned red again and said: "Hey, why is the fate of our sisters so bad, it is said that we are not strangers when we marry, the Wang family I married is a friend of the world and my Lan family, a friendship of several lifetimes, the current father-in-law and mother-in-law, I have known each other since I was a child, and they get along very well, my father-in-law also knew each other since I was a child, I originally thought that my marriage like this would definitely go very well, where do I know, it is not a few twists and turns, fortunately it is good now, but I really don't know what will happen in the future." What about my sister, the family she married is even more familiar, married to my own cousin, we are middle cousins, growing up together, my parents-in-law are my uncle and aunt, the old man and the old lady are our maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, originally my mother was favored in the Li family, our sisters and brother are the beloved children of maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, think about it, should live better than me. Who knows, when Yingyu arrived at the Li family, she was first disgusted by Shuyu, because of her dislike, her uncle and aunt also began to whisper to Yingyu, and her cousin, who is Yingyu's father-in-law, actually got a concubine out now. My aunt at home is still pregnant with me, and my husband accepted it, Yingyu has only been married for less than a month, and her father-in-law actually took a concubine, and what is even more hateful is that the concubine is the eldest girl before her father-in-law, and she is already pregnant. ”
"What?" Wen Hui and Mingzhu's eyes widened in disbelief, and Mingzhu said: "This Li family is the most famous scholarly family in Jiangnan. How could you do such a shameless thing? ”
Caiyu said: "Yes, my mother is very angry, my father said my mother for this, and he also had trouble with my uncle and aunts. The mother was angry and ran to reason with her uncle and aunt, and went to her grandfather and grandmother to comment, as a result, the grandmother said, the doctor said, this concubine seems to be pregnant with a male fetus, and the Li family is thin, please raise your noble hand, and when the child is born, she must sell the concubine and leave the son to the mother, which is considered an explanation to the Lan family. ”
At this moment, Zi Wenhui couldn't help it: "Hmph, I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, is this still a scholarly family?" It's even more unbearable than the average person. ”
Although Caiyu heard Wen Hui say this about her family, she was not angry at all, and nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't expect the Li family to be like this before, but it's a pity that my sister Yingyu, who has only been married for a few days, has been cleaned up obediently, three from four virtues, and her back is very smooth, and she actually begged my mother not to make trouble, to focus on the overall situation, and not to instigate her to be jealous." ”
At this moment, Zi Wenhui laughed angrily: "Forget it, Sister Yingyu will become like this, I won't believe it if I was killed before." If she doesn't fight for herself, what's the use of others helping, no matter what she does. ”
Mingzhu also said: "Hmph, what are the three from the four virtues, all those Confucian scholars took to deceive ignorant women and children, they all said that women are not talented is virtue, you see this woman is talentless, just bully, can this still live?" So, I want to grasp my things, I take care of my business, although I get married, but I can't just wait for death, people have to live spiritually, live worthwhile, and can't rely on others. ”
Wen Hui agreed with what she said, thinking that she deserved to be her best sister. How do you know that Caiyu also nodded again and again and said: "Sister Mingzhu's words, if I said it before, I must not agree, after all, marry a chicken and marry a dog, but now that I have experienced this, I understand that what mother's family, mother-in-law's family, son, and daughter's are unreliable, and I still have to rely on myself for everything." ”
Wen Hui laughed: "I didn't expect Sister Caiyu to also enlighten her?" ”
Caiyu smiled and said, "You're making fun of me again." Actually, I was forced to understand. Speaking of which, I was waiting to go to your house in a few days to find you to do something, but I met you here today, and I just talked so much about it, I almost forgot about it. ”
Wen Hui asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Caiyu said: "It's just the words that women have to rely on themselves." I heard that everyone wants to go to Shanghai City to buy a house or a shop, so I will pack up my dowry and save some money, and I want to ask you to help buy a house or shop, so that I can earn more. ”
Wen Hui asked, "How much money do you have available on hand?" ”
Caiyu said: "Although my husband believed in the words of the two concubines and practiced me, he still believed me, I took care of my dowry, and I also handed over the money to me to take care of, so I had a lot of work on hand, and I had about 90,000 taels of silver." ”
Wen Hui said with a smile: "The shops in Shanghai are very expensive now, but a batch of shops and houses will be opened recently." These shops are different from the previous ones, the previous ones are all with floors and bottoms, even rooms with courtyards, so the prices are very high, and they are all at the price of more than 100,000 taels of a shop. Now these shops are different, just simple street shops, no yards and warehouses, but the location is good, it is cheaper, about 30,000 taels, and your money can buy three. Let's see, you give me the money first, and I'll definitely choose a good spot for you. It's just that I want to say in advance that this shop is not in stock, it is still under construction, and it will be in the spring of next year when it is delivered. Only then can it be sold or rented out. If you wait for the money, can you buy this kind of shop? ”
Caiyu said: "It's nothing, we don't wait for this money to be used, it was also idle money, my father-in-law said to buy land, I already have a grange, and I think the grange is really slow, and I have to rely on the sky to eat, in case of another drought, there will be no harvest, and I have to pay taxes." If it's a business, I don't know the way, and the children are still young, where can I leave it? Therefore, I thought it would be better to buy a shop to rent insurance. By the way, these ministers said that they were for me, and I just wrote my name when the time came. It's my dowry. ”
Wen Hui smiled: "It seems that Wang Zhicheng has repented very thoroughly." Sister Mingzhu, you learn a little, and you have to take care of the Liu family's brother's money bag in the future. ”
When Mingzhu heard that Wen Hui came to joke again, she didn't follow it, and went to tickle Wen Hui. At this time, the maid came to report again, and Qiaozhen came.
ps:
Isn't it supposed to get better and better? Why is my score this month not as good as last month? Sad.
