Chapter 204: Meizhen

Wen Hui hurriedly dragged the master to her mother's upper room, and she wanted to know if her mother had said anything about moving the Hu family.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Bai had changed into homely clothes, and was sitting there drinking tea with a smile. Seeing Wu Lixia hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Wu is back?" You've worked hard, have you gone to see people? ”

Wu Lixia was about to speak, but Wen Hui had already said the matter again. Bai Shi sighed when he heard it: "I still told you Aunt Hu today, this is not a danger in the court, you see, this Hua family is really sitting at home and suffering from disaster." ”

Wu Lixia said: "But isn't it? We were all in the same field. The Hua sisters are beautiful, have good qualifications, and their martial arts are the best among their peers, and they are almost catching up with the masters. They are also wealthy families. When I go out, I take a maid to wait. Where can we compare with those of us who are small families? At that time, we knew that this Hua family was a martial arts tycoon in the south of the Yangtze River, very famous, with thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and a big martial arts hall, how many apprentices were accepted, and they were also people with golden spoons. It's just that the Hua family doesn't have a son, so they can only be two sisters, so they went down the mountain to run their own martial arts hall after they became artists. I just listened to Sister Hua Mingjuan talk about the rest of the matter. She said that her father recruited sons-in-law for their sisters, all of whom were apprentices in the martial arts hall, and they were all very good, good to their sisters, and filial piety, and the two young couples ran the martial arts hall very well. It's just that Senior Sister Hua Mingjuan didn't give birth to a son, but only gave birth to a pair of twin sisters. Her sister is also a daughter. It's easy for my sister to give birth to a son, and everyone is very happy, treating this hard-won son like a jewel. Who knows, disaster fell from the sky, and a big grain merchant in their place was very rich and a rich man. It is also very good to have a good relationship with the prefectural order. On this day, if you want to invite a few nursing homes, you went to their martial arts hall. As a result, I accidentally saw Sister Hua Mingjuan, which was a disaster. That man wanted to get their sisters. Bought the county government and said that they had colluded with the robbers. That's going to put everyone in jail. Only the Hua sisters and their four children were left behind. He also lied that he could save their families, but asked them to take the money out to help them. The two of them suddenly suffered a big change, so they could only take out all the money they had accumulated at home and give it to that person, and thank them for helping them. ”

Wen Hui said: "Isn't this stupid? ”

Wu Lixia said: "Yes, that person says every once in a while that he wants money. Their sisters are for their families. sold out everything that could be sold in the family, and in the end, only the two sisters were left with their children. The man told them that their family had died a long time ago. They all died in prison. At that time, the two sisters wanted to take revenge, but that person accused their four children, and they had no choice, so they could only compromise for the sake of their children. went into his backyard and became his concubine. You can see your child every month. ”

Wen Hui shook her head.

Wu Lixia said: "They thought day and night about how to save the child and how to stab the enemy, but as a result, the enemy beheaded the family. The girl will know the rest of the story. ”

Wen Hui nodded and said, "Mother." I have just told my father, and he has already sent someone to redeem the children. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "This is because there is no power, and a small county order can ruin their family." That's what I'm telling you about today, Aunt Hu. It's not that there is danger in the court, being a rich man at home can lead to the destruction of the family. So, let's go with the flow. Your Aunt Hu agreed to Mingzhu's marriage, and we discussed how to prepare a dowry for your sister and how to prepare to welcome Liu Jingyuan's parents. ”

Wen Hui smiled when she heard it and said: "I know that as soon as my mother comes out, she will definitely be able to succeed, and now Sister Mingzhu doesn't have to worry." I'm going to have to tell her to go. ”

Bai nodded.

Wen Hui hurriedly asked someone to get into the carriage and went to the pharmacy, found Mingzhu, and when she said this, Mingzhu's tears of joy flowed out, and she wanted to thank her sister and her stepmother.

Wen Hui made a few more jokes about Mingzhu. began to discuss the dowry with Mingzhu, and Mingzhu was speechless. Wen Hui remembered that this was in ancient times, where did a girl ask for a dowry by herself? I had to not mention it, and the two sisters gossiped for a while. Wen Hui went home. Back at home, Wen Hui thought about it for a while, and decided to draw a draft by herself and let Wanjiayinlou make jewelry. It's been a few days since I came back, and I haven't been visiting my friend Wan Qiaozhen, so it's time to visit. I told Qiu Bi to come over, took out the list of things he purchased from Suzhou a while ago, selected four exquisite ones, and wrote a post to Wan Qiaozhen, saying that he was going to visit tomorrow. So he sent someone to bring the gift along with the post.

Wan Qiaozhen received the post and hurriedly told her mother, her mother didn't dare to slack off, now Wen Hui's identity is different, she is the daughter of the assassin, she is busy with her mother-in-law, and the Wan family began to prepare for Wen Hui.

Wen Hui arrived at Wanfu the next day as promised. Wanjia is very large, the style is low-key, the decoration is elegant, and it is not as luxurious as I saw in Wang Yaozhen's house before. Wen Hui nodded secretly, thinking, although he is a merchant, he has been inherited for a hundred years, and he really knows how to dress for three generations and food for five generations, which is incomparable to the kind of explosive household of the Wang family.

I was thinking that I had arrived at the second gate. Wen Hui got out of the car and found that her friend Wan Qiaozhen was already waiting for her. There were two beautiful women standing next to Wan Qiaozhen, and a beautiful girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a radiant look and eyes shining like jewels. One of these two women is Wan Qiaozhen's mother, whom Wen Hui has seen before. The other is older than Wan Qiaozhen's mother, and she is shrewd in her virtuous wife.

Wen Hui politely saluted Wan Qiaozhen's mother. Wan Qiaozhen's mother introduced to Wen Hui with a smile that this beautiful woman turned out to be Wan Qiaozhen's eldest aunt. It seems to be Wan Meizhen's mother. Wan Qiaozhen also introduced the girl next to Wen Hui, who was the person Wen Hui wanted to see the most, Wan Meizhen.

Wen Hui was very surprised, it turned out that Wan Meizhen was so beautiful, and the kind of luxury revealed in her bones did not look like the daughter of a merchant at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone in the capital was beautiful. It seems that the mother is really discerning, such a beautiful person, isn't the eldest brother still satisfied?

Wen Hui and they all saluted. Then Wan Meizhen's mother went into the main room hand in hand. It was the residence of Wan Qiaozhen's grandmother. Wen Hui greeted Mrs. Wan, who was very happy and gave a gift. Wen Hui also prepared some greeting gifts, one of which was a birthday crutch made of rosewood, which was very popular with Mrs. Wan.

After a few words of greeting, they let their little girl go to the backyard and Qiaozhen's residence to play. After all, Wen Hui is only ten years old. However, to Wen Hui's surprise, Wan Meizhen was also accompanied.

Along the way, Wen Hui enjoyed the scenery of Wanjia, and Wan Meizhen, the owner, was very generous, enthusiastically and politely introduced the scenery of her yard, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze. Wen Hui couldn't help but add points to Wan Meizhen in her heart.

When she arrived at the place, Wen Hui found that it was not in Wan Qiaozhen's bedroom, this was a pavilion, with flower walls on all sides, and many chrysanthemums were planted around the pavilion. Wan Meizhen said with a smile: "Now that the autumn light is just right, the weather is good today, and the chrysanthemums are blooming, I will mention yì and let Sister Qiaozhen entertain Sister Wen Hui in this towel dyeing pavilion, I don't know if you like it?" ”

Wen Hui said happily: "It's very good here, my sister is really thoughtful." Actually, although I met my sister for the first time today, I have admired my sister's name for a long time. ”

Meizhen smiled and said, "It must be Qiaozhen who chewed her mouth again." ”

Wen Hui said: "Sister Qiaozhen always says how smart, capable, and good her sister Meizhen is, and she is worthy of her fame today. ”

Meizhen said: "It's all because her children's family has no knowledge, everything is good in her own family, where is there anything good about me, but I call my sister a joke." ”

Qiao Zhen pouted and said, "Sister, don't be humble, according to me, none of these people I have seen are as good as my sister." Sister Hui'er is not an outsider, sister, you say, is my sister really so good. Actually, let me tell you, my sister is very capable, and in the past two years, my grandfather has asked my sister to manage the business of the silver building? ”

Meizhen hurriedly said: "You still say that you are not afraid of people's jokes?" ”

Wen Hui said: "What's the joke about this, my sister is so capable, it's normal to manage the family's business." I'm still in charge of my family's business. ”

Meizhen was shocked and said, "My sister is so young? ”

Wen Hui said: "In fact, it is a place in the south of the Yangtze River where Confucianism is heavy, and it is moral to pay attention to women's lack of talent. Not so in the north. We are in the capital, and those big families, especially those families like ours, are all women in charge of the family property, business, grange, and the affairs of the house. Men are going to go to the court to participate in politics, where is the spirit to care about this. Therefore, the women of our family, when they were ten years old, began to learn to manage housework, and slowly learned to manage the property, business, and so on. In short, you have to learn these things before you get married, or where can you get married? ’

Meizhen listened very fascinated. In fact, she likes to manage these things, especially business, but her parents don't want her to do this, because she follows her grandfather in business, which makes her marriage difficult. No mother-in-law likes such a daughter-in-law who shows her head like this. I didn't expect it to be the opposite of Jiangnan in the capital.

Meizhen was thinking about it, and Qiaozhen said: "My sister is not ashamed, she marries one by one at such a young age?" ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "What's wrong?" It is natural for men to marry women, why can't they be said? Not only do I have to say, but I also have to choose my own people. ”

Qiaozhen and Mijin were thundered.
