Wang Zhicheng returned to the ancestral house and first went to see his grandmother. His grandmother was not unconscious, and after seeing her beloved eldest grandson, after saying goodbye, Mrs. Wang began to persuade Wang Zhicheng to treat Lan Caiyu better.

Wang Zhicheng became impatient after listening for a while, and came out of his grandmother's room under the pretext that there was something, and asked the servants beside him, where Lan Caiyu was. Someone led him to a side courtyard, and as soon as he entered the flower hall, he saw an acquaintance, but it was Lan Caiyu's brother Lan Mingxuan.

Lan Mingxuan and Wang Zhicheng are very familiar, the two of them were originally cousins, they grew up playing together since childhood, and later became a relationship between their wife and uncle. Lan Mingxuan is very capable, shrewd and capable, Wang Zhicheng is a little afraid of him, as soon as he sees him sitting at this moment, he knows that this is to support Lan Caiyu.

Wang Zhicheng and Lan Mingxuan saluted. Lan Mingxuan was reluctant to deal with Wang Zhicheng, and Wang Zhicheng was bored. I couldn't help but turn my eyes to look at Lan Caiyu, who had been sitting. If it was in normal times, Lan Caiyu would have come to see the ceremony, after all, he is Lan Caiyu's husband, and he is the sky. However, today, she has not moved, I don't know why.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhicheng became more and more dissatisfied with Lan Caiyu. When he looked at Lan Caiyu, he couldn't help frowning angrily. But when he looked at it, he was surprised again. I saw that Lan Caiyu was not wearing ordinary home-style cotton cloth, or coarse cloth, but was wearing a royal blue makeup gown embroidered with passion flowers, with a roll combed on her head, and three bright red gold hairpins. A face is not without makeup, but with a slight powder, it looks gorgeous.

Such a blue colored jade made Wang Zhicheng both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiar because of such a delicate. Such a beautiful appearance is the blue colored jade that he has been accustomed to since he was a child. Dignified, bright, atmospheric, showy. He used to like this kind of blue colored jade very much. couldn't help but remind him of the time when they first got married, how much he liked the smart, capable, graceful, and atmospheric blue colored jade, and often sighed. So it is with a wife. What more could you ask for.

However, later, their quarrels increased, and Lan Caiyu washed her face with tears all day long. Don't dress up. Wear old clothes. It seems to be extremely unlucky, so he also began to distance himself from her. Hates her and prefers to approach those young, delicate concubines.

At this moment, seeing the newly dressed Lan Caiyu, Wang Zhicheng was a little strange, and the most strange thing was Lan Caiyu's attitude, without the previous dependence and resentment, in exchange for a kind of alienation. Wang Zhicheng secretly shouted in his heart, it's not good.

Wang Zhicheng and Lan Caiyu, brother and sister, negotiated. In Qingyang City here, Chen Wenhui had also gone to the Yan family's banquet, knowing that Yan Shupeng finally chose to take refuge in Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenhui was very happy.

After a few more busy days in Qingyang City, Chen Wenhui received a big gift, which was brought by Wan Qiaozhen. The Cao family thanked Chen Wenhui for helping the Cao family several times, and specially asked Wan Qiaozhen to bring Chen Wenhui a silver ticket of 300,000 taels of silver. There are also more than a dozen paintings by ancient and modern masters, as well as some exquisite porcelain made by the Cao family themselves.

Chen Wenhui looked at the room full of things, there are vases, appreciation bottles, joint vases, flower honors, dendrobiums, porcelain bowls and many other varieties. are all treasures, and Chen Wenhui can't help but love it. Especially in front of the dozen or so paintings, seven of them are fine works of the previous dynasty, and although the rest are from the current dynasty, they are also treasures, and Chen Wenhui especially likes them.

Instead, it was a small painted porcelain box with 300,000 taels of silver tickets, and Chen Wenhui didn't look at it.

Chen Wenhui admired the famous painting, and said to Wan Qiaozhen with a smile: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wan Qiaozhen smiled and said, "Where do I mean?" Do you still use these mundane things between me and you? This is what my parents-in-law meant. To be exact, it means the entire Cao family. You also know that our Cao family has a large family and many heads, with a total of five heads. We are a long house, but the five heads of the house are in charge of business, and if there is something in the family, the five heads of the house will sit together and discuss. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded, the ancient family concept was very heavy.

Wan Qiaozhen continued: "Last time, I left your relationship, and you let us start sea trade. With this alone, our Cao family doesn't know how much money we have earned. Of course, because of this, I have also made great contributions in the family and become noble. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing.

Wan Qiaozhen said: "That time, the family was going to thank you, but there was never a chance. You're all in the South Seas. We have to remember your kindness in our hearts. Now, you want us to go to the northwest to do porcelain business, my in-laws say that this is a great opportunity, and if you get it right, it may be more profitable than sea trade. Moreover, in the future, when I go to the northwest, I will have to rely on your care, so they asked me to send these things, as well as the 300,000 taels of silver tickets. Please be sure to accept it, don't dislike it. If you're willing to accept it, I'll do it again. ”

Now Chen Wenhui understood. In fact, when Wan Qiaozhen came over with something, Chen Wenhui had already guessed it. She is very satisfied with the Cao family's knowledge and interest. From this point of view, this Cao family is smart and humane. It can be seen from Wan Qiaozhen's happy life after marriage. With such a family, Chen Wenhui should think of taking it under his command.

Therefore, originally, I didn't want these gifts, Chen Wenhui thought about it, and said to Wan Qiaozhen with a smile: "Sister said this, in order to let my sister make another contribution in my mother-in-law's family, I had to accept it with a cheeky face, and you go back to thank you Cao family for me." ”

Although Wan Qiaozhen said everything in a very relaxed tone, in fact, from the moment she received this task, she was dazzled by the 300,000 taels of silver tickets. felt that the responsibility was heavy, for fear that Chen Wenhui would refuse, and her face would not look good at that time. Who knows, Chen Wenhui actually accepted it so lightly. Wan Qiaozhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. A stone fell to the ground in my heart.

Wan Qiaozhen, who was in a relaxed mood, began to say with a lively temperament: "Then sister, hurry up and ask someone to take these things back." Let's sit and talk. Also, bring me all your good snacks and good fruit tea, our family has sent you so many things, I have to eat some back, and I will lose money. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing when she saw what she said interestingly, called Shuilian and them in, moved the things into the warehouse, put away the silver tickets, and served tea and snacks.

Chen Wenhui has only been in Jiangnan for less than ten days, and she has already received a lot of gifts, although there are many gifts, but more are received, and there is no way, so she can only rent another yard in the inn and use it as a warehouse. Fortunately, she has a boat here, and there are a few boats to follow, so she can only send a boat with the guards to press the things together and go back to the capital county lord's mansion first, and send some of the things back.

Chen Wenhui smiled and said to Wan Qiaozhen: "Such a thing is of great value, I think, you can't eat it for ten years." ”

Wan Qiaozhen said: "If you can't finish eating, you can eat as much as you want." Anyway, everything you have here is good. By the way, last time Yu Yan told me about you inviting their husband and wife to Nanyang, and later, she came over, did she call you back? ”

When Chen Wenhui mentioned this matter, she was even more happy and said: "She has already discussed it with her husband. Both husband and wife agreed. She also wrote a letter to her father-in-law who served in Suzhou Province, and her father-in-law was very much in favor of it. I have already told the old lady of their family that when her husband is admitted to the lifting of people, she will go to Nanyang when she has fame. She's starting to prepare now. After these few contacts, I found that Sister Yu Yan's husband is still very talented. In the future, Nanyang will definitely be able to contribute to my city. In addition to Sister Yu Yan's husband, what makes me happiest is that I found out that Sister Yu Yan is a law master. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Qiaozhen thought of what Huang Yuyan gave Lan Caiyu the day and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that Yu Yan, who can't even manage a house well on weekdays and can't settle accounts, is so proficient in the law. It's really impressive. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, so, I also persuaded the two of them and agreed to them, and when they went to Nanyang, Sister Yu Yan went to Qingchun City to take up an official position, and Yu Yan also had to hold an official position, and she was an official in one of my yamen who specialized in managing the law." ”

Wan Qiaozhen was amazed and said, "Oh, you are really strange there, women can be officials." However, think about it, your Xiao Chen family is different. Aren't you just in office? Or a big official. My lobby sister is too, she is in charge of the entire Yizhou Island, but she is majestic, hey, thinking that in the future, Yu Yan will also be an official, which is really enviable. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "You are enviable, you are a well-known blessed person." Every time my sister-in-law mentions you, she is full of praise and envy. ”

Wan Qiaozhen was still very proud of her blessings, and said, "Well, this is true." This is the blessing of fools. Although I don't have any talent, I can always make credit to the family by mistake, and now I eat and drink every day, I don't copy my heart, I am not in a hurry, and I am very blessed. Hey, speaking of which, I think of Sister Caiyu again, I don't know how her situation is? How's it going with the Wang family? ”

Chen Wenhui frowned when she heard this, and said, "Where can this be solved in a while?" Sister Caiyu's reconciliation is a big deal, how can it be solved in a few words? They also involve money, they also involve children, and some of them are involved. However, I heard the news that the Wang family is very anxious now, and I am a little moved by the condition that Sister Caiyu's child will belong to her and give Sister Caiyu one million taels of silver, as if she is ready to agree, if she can agree, even if she gives less money, it is a good thing. Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on it. The Anseong prefectural ordinance does not dare to go against our will now. ”

Hearing this, Wan Qiaozhen smiled. (To be continued......)
