Chapter 115: The Lan Family Who Protects the Daughter
Mingzhu thought about it and said: "The situation of Sister Yingyu and Sister Caiyu is different. Sister Caiyu has always been good friends with us, and her relationship is better than ours, but later she had a bad relationship with her in-laws. Once you make up your mind, you can still pull it back. However, Yingyu was originally a little cowardly, and after she got married, she cut off contact with her mother's family, let alone us. How can we help? Even if it was to help her reconcile and leave, would she be willing? What will she do after the separation? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Caiyu's way must not be applied to Yingyu. Let's figure it out again. Besides, Sister Caiyu's life in the Wang family is not a human life, but I don't know how Sister Yingyu is in the Li family. I can only wait for the Lan family to see what they say. ”
Mingzhu said, "Yes." That's all there is to it. ”
After the two of them finished speaking, they talked about the party for a while, and then turned to Xu Zhijie. Mingzhu said: "My father originally thought that he could be pardoned and released from prison early this time, so he spent his days in this small village in Qingyang City, reading, writing, and when the weather is good, he will go for a ride." He has no property now, and all the fields in his hometown have been lost by my grandmother and my stepmother. My grandmother had also passed away a long time ago. He didn't want to go back to his hometown, and he didn't want to spend more of my money. Therefore, he said that it was enough to provide him with the annual output of this little Zhuangzi, and there was no need to take the extra money. In addition to giving him food and drink, this Zhuangzi's annual income is enough for him to go out and travel. ”
Chen Wenhui remembered these words, Mingzhu's bad grandmother. It was she who made her daughter-in-law bad, making the relationship between her daughter-in-law and her son worse and worse. In the end, Hu and Xu Zhijie reconciled and straightened Sun, and later, Xu Zhijie went to prison, all of which were related to Sun and Sun's daughter. After Xu Zhijie went to prison, Xu Zhijie's mother packed up the family property and took it all away. However, where could she get an old lady from the Sun family, and the Sun family got all the family property, and she was also angry.
Mingzhu didn't know that Chen Wenhui thought of her grandmother. Instead, he continued: "But. The last time you went to talk to Chongyi and told him, he found that he noticed that he was in Jiangnan. Whether it's in the field. It's still in the teahouse of Qingyang City. There are people everywhere who say things about Nanyang, and there are many people who are desperate in Jiangnan and have made a fortune in Nanyang. There are also many benefits of talking about the South Seas. Yesterday. He knew that I had been to Nanyang, so he asked me what Nanyang was like. I told him. After hearing this, he was very curious and wanted to see it. So, I think, he should go to Nanyang as you say. ”
Chen Wenhui said happily: "This is just right, just right, we are recruiting people in Jiangnan, just right, let Master Xu go back with the officials in Nanyang, and you will send him again." By the way, didn't you buy a property and a house in Qingchun City? It happens to be for Master Xu to live, and he can also be there to help you take care of it. In addition to being knowledgeable, Mr. Xu has very good management skills. ”
Mingzhu smiled and said, "Of course, I think so too." I told my father that I had set up an estate in Nanyang, which was quite small, but neither of us nor my husband had time to spare, so we could only entrust it to the steward, but after all, it was far away and it was not easy to manage. It's much better than the house on this Zhuangzi. There are also ready-made servants to serve. If he doesn't go, it's empty. In addition, there are many properties, including land and shops, and my father can help me take care of them. Father can also follow your advice to teach in the academy and have an income that is enough to support himself. And help me. ”
"When my father heard that he was interested, he always felt that he didn't take good care of me when I was a child, but in the past few years, he was in prison, and my two sisters never came, I was taking care of him, and I didn't let him suffer a little grievance. He felt ashamed of me. Although I told him that he was my father, I should have done so. However, he still felt uncomfortable, and he really wanted to do something for me, and he didn't want to drag me down, and he didn't want to spend my money. For example, since yesterday, as soon as I brought the children, he summoned them to teach them to read and write. ”
"Now that I heard that I could go to Nanyang to take care of my property, I was immediately interested, not to mention, I could make some money to support myself without spending my money. So, he asked me to tell you that he wanted to go, and asked you to take care of him. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Do you still need to talk about this? I'll talk to the people below when I go back, and naturally Nanyang officials will come to him. You don't have to worry about it. ”
Mingzhu knew that the officials under Chen Wenhui were very capable. It's also very reassuring.
Chen Wenhui saw that it was not early, and said, "Let's dress up and let's go, it will take half an hour to drive to Qingyang City?" Don't let Sister Caiyu, Sister Yuyan, and Sister Qiaozhen wait in a hurry. ”
Mingzhu looked at the sky, smiled, and hurriedly went back to dressing up, the better, and went over together in Chen Wenhui's carriage.
When the two of them dressed up and arrived at Qinghe Tower in Qingyang City, sure enough, the three of them were already waiting there.
Mingzhu and Chen Wenhui hurriedly smiled and apologized. The sisters laughed happily together.
Because it was a national funeral, there was no drinking, and everyone did not wear gold or silver, they were all plain clothes, full of silver jewelry, which looked refreshing.
After the meal, everyone goes back, the better, and we will meet again in a few days.
When Mingzhu returned home, she discussed with Chen Wenhui and wanted to ask Chen Wenhui to accompany her to their tea factory in Jiangnan.
Chen Wenhui said: "Now that the New Year has passed, and the New Year is about to begin, where can we go out?" It's better to wait until the end of the New Year, we have to live for a while, at that time, spring is coming, it is the time to harvest spring tea, wouldn't it be good for us to go and see it? ”
Mingzhu thought about it, so he said: "Okay, these days, I'll go with you to go to various ladies' places for a while, I don't want to go to them, just invite them to come to us." The place is big and refreshing. It is also not good for these people not to be paid. I want to bring a few sisters to socialize together, so that these people in Jiangnan officialdom know that the sisters have a good relationship, and after we leave Jiangnan, they should not rely on their identity to bully our sisters. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You have a good idea, especially Sister Caiyu, who needs our help." ”
The two of them began to discuss how to invite these ladies who had left posts and had already given gifts to come to the Zhuangzi for tea. At this time, it is not suitable for flower viewing or feasting.
The two of them discussed until the evening, and at this time, suddenly the outside announced that Master Lan, Mrs. Lan and Lan Caiyu had come to visit and had arrived at the flower hall outside.
Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu understood after thinking about it and said, "This must be for the Li family's business." Let's go and see. ”
On the one hand, he asked people to invite the people of the Lan family to the small flower hall in the inner courtyard, which was safer and not afraid of being heard about the conversation.
After some conversation, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu also understood what the Lan family meant, and the Lan family had decided to give up the Li family's in-laws. If you don't give up, you can't do it, after all, this is something that the emperor approves, who else in the world can reverse it? However, the Lan family proposed that if the Li family was really in a catastrophe, they hoped that when the time came, they could tell the government that they would let the Lan family buy the two children of Lan Yingyu and Lan Yingyu as soon as possible, so as not to let them suffer.
That's not a big requirement. Chen Wenhui agreed instead of Zhao Chongyi, and at the same time looked at the Lan family even more in his heart, no wonder his father valued the Lan family so much in recent years, the Lan family is still affectionate and righteous. For these two married girls, they are responsible to the end.
Chen Wenhui took advantage of the gap to ask Lan Caiyu: "You sent all the people from the capital away?" ”
Lan Caiyu nodded and said, "I sent a housekeeper to send it back." It should be too late to go back for the New Year. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
After two days like this, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu teamed up to invite the ladies of Jiangnan, especially in Qingyang City, to hold a tea party. Of course, at the tea party, I also promoted the tea leaves of the Mingzhu's tea field by the way. The most important thing is that Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu are very close to Lan Caiyu everywhere, so that these ladies also look at Lan Caiyu and Wan Qiaozhen differently.
Lan Caiyu and Wan Qiaozhen also understood what it meant, and they were very moved. also cherishes this opportunity, especially Lan Caiyu, she has a heavy responsibility to revitalize the family business, so she has to deal with these noblewomen, so she is extraordinarily attentive and communicates well with these noblewomen. These ladies were full of praise in their hearts, praising Lan Caiyu for being the sister-in-law of Concubine Wang Xian, this manners, rules, and treating people and things have nothing to say.
Here, Lan Caiyu is very smooth whether it is a relationship or a soybean oil mill. Over there, from Qingyang City, a big carriage finally arrived at the old house of the Ancheng Wang.
After the carriage stopped, several people came down, one of whom was a woman with gray temples, and when she saw the familiar door of the mansion, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
At this time, the gate opened, and two young women came out of the gate, helping an old lady to come out tremblingly.
The woman who got out of the carriage saw that the old lady could not hold back any longer, and cried and bowed down: "Old lady. ”
The old lady was also in tears, and barely held on and said, "It's good to come back, let's hurry inside and talk." ”
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly stood up, took the children who had come down from the carriage, and walked inside, and was about to enter the door, when she remembered that the mother-in-law, the guard, the coachman, and others who had sent them off the way, hurriedly thanked them and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." ”
The old lady on the side nodded, glanced at the woman beside her, the young woman who looked like a servant, reached out and took a few red seals from her arms, which were full of some copper coins. Tip these escorts.
Those people didn't postpone either, and left when they arrived at Xie.
They left, and the group returned to this once-glorious mansion. (To be continued......)
