Chapter 4 It turned out to be a family
Chen Wenhui said: "Naturally, it is Sister Caiyu. Didn't she marry into the Wang family? How about now? Listening to Sister Mingzhu, she is not doing well? ”
As soon as Huang Yuyan heard this topic, she immediately said with an angry look on her face: "What kind of family is the Wang family, can we still know?" Back then, he was just a rich man in Anseong, and he wasn't the richest one. Compared with the Lan family, the Lan family was a big silk businessman and had an industry in Suzhou City. It's much stronger than the Wang family, a rich man in Ancheng, Sister Caiyu is married to each other, just after marrying, her husband was good to her, but later, the Wang family opened a bank, became richer and richer, and began to be unkind to the rich. It's not good for Sister Caiyu. ”
Chen Wenhui's face became gloomy when she heard this, and she said, "The Wang family is really hateful. ”
Huang Yuyan said: "Isn't it? Sister Caiyu is a generous woman, we can't reach this point, she knew from the beginning that the Wang family's family was chaotic, so her husband had a maid before her, she was not jealous at all, and generously promoted the other party to be a concubine, and later, she also chose two concubines for her husband, so that a few concubines were placed at home, her husband was not satisfied, and she was messing with flowers and grass outside every day, but Sister Caiyu has not been pregnant, so the Wang family used this to pressure Sister Caiyu. Sister Caiyu has no choice but to endure. Later, Wang Yaozhen became His Royal Highness the Prince, and after entering the capital, she became a good woman, and the Wang family suddenly became a relative of the emperor, trembling, even more domineering, and had a very bad reputation in Jiangnan. Of course, their family went to the capital. ”
But Chen Wenhui didn't know. She hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't I see her in the capital?" ”
Huang Yuyan said angrily: "At first, she also followed into the capital. The Wang family is now a big family in the capital, runs a bank, and is very wealthy. However, although she has a son and a daughter, her husband does not value her, but the concubine keeps pulling her home, and at most, there are twelve aunts in the family, known as the twelve golden hairpins. Although Sister Caiyu was angry, she endured it. Educate your children. Respect the elderly, take charge of housework, and treat concubines and concubines well. However, this qiē did not gain the respect of the Wang family. Instead, she connived at the concubines to provoke her. She also has a temper. A few times down. Under the pretext that the old lady of the Wang family was still in Ancheng, she took her children back to Ancheng to serve her husband's grandmother. ”
Chen Wenhui understood now, he didn't expect this Wang family to be so excessive. She said, "Then Sister Caiyu lives in Anseong now?" ”
Huang Yuyan said: "The Wang family is the most undesirable thing, Sister Caiyu lives in Ancheng to take care of the old lady, but the Wang family is so rich that they actually deduct Sister Caiyu's expenses." Fortunately, Sister Caiyu has also had some savings over the years, and she was also very rich in marriage back then, so it was not a problem to support a pair of children. ”
Chen Wenhui asked angrily: "Then their family doesn't even care about the old lady?" ”
Huang Yuyan said: "That's not it, the old lady's they haven't deducted yet, but the three of Caiyu's sister and mother and son have been deducted very much." It's a pity, Sister Caiyu's son is still the eldest son, and he is also treated like this. However, the old lady felt sorry for her great-grandson, and from time to time took out her share to Sister Caiyu. Sister Caiyu is not short of these, she politely refused, the old lady often feels sorry for their mother and son, so she is kind to her. This is the day to live. ”
Chen Wenhui said with anger in both eyes: "After I have arranged the things here, I will go to Ancheng with Chongyi and visit Sister Caiyu by the way." ”
Huang Yuyan nodded.
Chen Wenhui asked again: "What about Sister Yingyu?" ”
Huang Yuyan sighed and said, "Sister Yingyu is also close to each other, married to the scholarly Li family in Ancheng. You know, the Li family is now also a relative of the emperor, although Li Shuyu is only a concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince, but their family is very valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, so now they are also very domineering. After Sister Yingyu got married, she put her husband's family first, and even offended her mother's family. Therefore, although he was angry at his husband's house, he still lived. It's just that the Lan family is about to die of anger. The two daughters are both close to each other, the eldest daughter is suffering now, and the younger daughter has no contact with her mother's family, which is really annoying. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
The Lan family has always had a good relationship with the Xiao Chen family for so many years. Now Xiao Chen's cotton business in Jiangnan, as well as the cooperation with the Bai family in the northwest, are all run by the Lan family. The Lan family has also accumulated a lot of wealth because of this, and in terms of it, it is not necessarily less than the Wang family's money.
Chen Wenhui asked, "What about the Lan family now?" ”
Huang Yuyan said: "The Lan family has had a good business in recent years, and they are already a well-known and wealthy family in Jiangnan. However, the Lan family is more kind-hearted, although they have become rich, they have always done good deeds, and they have a good reputation in Jiangnan. My father has always had a good relationship with the head of the Lan family. The Lan family now lives in Qingyang City. ”
Chen Wenhui feels better, and finally has a good family.
Chen Wenhui asked: "Then why doesn't the Lan family want to be angry for their eldest daughter Sister Caiyu?" ”
Huang Yuyan said: "Da Chu is like this, how much can the mother's family manage the water spilled by the daughter who marries?" Not to mention that the Wang family is now a relative of the emperor, even if it is not, the Lan family is not easy to manage the family affairs of the Wang family. Now, the Lan family has no other way but to give Sister Caiyu more money. So, Sister Caiyu's life is okay. Actually, isn't this the case in our family? My father's official position is still older, and he can be said to be the biggest official in Jiangnan, but I am not embarrassed by my mother-in-law in the Yan family? ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it. However, the fact that the Lan family did not give up on Lan Caiyu made her very satisfied, and she decided to have a chance to contact the Lan family in a few days.
Chen Wenhui sighed and said: "These sisters of ours had a good and bad life, and I felt sad when I thought about it. Yaozhen used to have the best relationship with me, but now she has changed in the palace, and Mingzhu and I are reluctant to associate with her. and Li Shuyu, when he was in Qingyang City, he was just a concubine of the palace and changed, and we didn't correspond for many years. Sister Caiyu is everyone's big sister, and we all respect her, but now she has ended up where she is today. ”
Huang Yuyan said: "Yes." But it's good that you're doing well, and Sister Mingzhu is doing well. By the way, I heard that Sister Qiaozhen of the Wan family is doing well? ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I haven't seen Sister Qiaozhen for many years, and I heard my sister-in-law say that she married into the porcelain Cao family and is doing well." ”
Huang Yuyan smiled and said, "I know this." Our Yan family has a large population and many houses, and our family is a two-bedroom. Yan Tingshi's house is a big house, and there is a sister-in-law in the sixth room of our family who is a girl from the porcelain Cao family. She and I have a good relationship. She told me that since Sister Qiaozhen married into the Cao family, she was already very competitive, and soon became pregnant and gave birth to children. In addition, she helped to make the porcelain Cao family start a sea trade business, which made the Cao family's family business grow many times, so it was held in the palm of the Cao family. How moisturizing the days have been. However, although their Cao family has a house in Qingyang City, they don't live here, they all live in their hometown, and they are also a big family with a large population. I heard this sister-in-law say a few days ago that Sister Qiaozhen came to Qingyang City and lived in the Cao family's house in Qingyang City. Why don't I go to the next post and the three of us get together? Hey, it would be nice to invite Sister Caiyu to the party. Sister Yingyu doesn't have to think about it, she can't wait to go out. ”
Chen Wenhui was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's really a coincidence, you hurry up to the next post." As for Sister Caiyu and Sister Yingyu, let's also make the next post, right? What if you can come? It's set in five days. I'm really thinking about Sister Qiaozhen. I miss Sister Caiyu even more. Anyway, the road from Anseong to Cheongyangseong is good. If Sister Caiyu wants to come, she should be able to arrive. ”
Huang Yuyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give Sister Qiaozhen a post first, and then ask at the Lan family." Actually, Sister Caiyu and I have met a few times in the past few years, when I got married, she also came to give me a box to love you, she came to Qingyang City to go back to her parents' home, after all, the Lan family lives in Qingyang City. Maybe, just in time, Sister Caiyu has returned to her parents' house? Then we can still have an earlier meeting. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, and said happily: "You go to the next post, by the way, attach my post as well." Huang Yuyan nodded, and Shuilian hurriedly found a few posts for Huang Yuyan's maid to collect. The two of them were about to speak, when Shui Hong came in at the door and said, "County Lord, there is a Confucian student looking for the second master outside, this is a famous post." ”
Chen Wenhui was a little strange, the two of them had just arrived in Qingyang City, why did someone who knew each other come to visit Chongyi? Chongyi is not her, Chongyi grew up in the capital, his friends are all in the capital, but he didn't know a few people in Qingyang City, but when he raided his house, he offended a lot of people. However, Chen Wenhui didn't bother to guess, and he would know when Chongyi came back. Therefore, Chen Wenhui just looked at it and put it down casually, Huang Yuyan glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but say "Huh": "Why is he?" ”
Chen Wenhui was surprised and asked, "What?" Do you know this person? ”
Huang Yuyan took the name card in her hand and pointed it to Chen Wenhui and said, "You look at the name on the name card is Yan Shupeng, this is the second son of my uncle Yan Tingshi." It's my husband's brother. ”
Chen Wenhui was strange at this moment, and said, "How can Chongyi know the people of your family?" Shui Hong, you go and take the guests to the outside hall, and Sister Yu Yan and I will take a sneak look. ”
Shui Hong went, and when she came back after a while, Chen Wenhui pulled Huang Yuyan to take a look quietly, and Chen Wenhui found that this Yan Shupeng was actually the very knowledgeable Confucian student they saw in the restaurant when they first arrived in Qingyang City.
Huang Yuyan said: "It's really him, the second son of the uncle's family." I'm also a common one. ”
Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "It turned out to be a family." It's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple. It's a wonderful thing. Let's go and meet him together. (To be continued......)
