Chapter 143: A Booming Soybean Oil Business
After the three of them sat in the warm room, the people who were waiting around Lan Caiyu had already helped Lan Caiyu untie the cloak, revealing the row of tassels with a standing collar and a blue landscape flower and bird pattern inside, and a shining gem pin pinned to the neckline.
Lan Caiyu is still so beautiful, but it is no longer like a young and beautiful girl, but a mature woman.
The three of them sat down, and Lan Caiyu said, "Wen Hui and I haven't seen each other for three or four years. The last time we met, it was when I went to the northwest to build a soybean oil workshop in the northwest. Time flies so fast, it's been three or four years in the blink of an eye, and you have added a beautiful, intelligent daughter. Mingzhu and I haven't seen each other for more than half a year. The last time I came to the capital was in the spring. ”
"Today, it's rare for the three of us to meet together."
Mingzhu said: "Yes, it is not easy for the three of us to get together. That year, a few of you gathered in Jiangnan, and I was alone in the capital, and I was all envious to death. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "It's difficult to get together now, Sister Yu Yan is in Nanyang and is already the Minister of Law Enforcement." The power is in your hands, and the scenery is unlimited. Sister Qiaozhen is still in Jiangnan, and she is already the mother of four children. Her husband has taken over the family business and is in charge. She still doesn't care about things herself, just takes care of the children. Some time ago, I wrote that I was already preparing to show the girl to the child's house, and to marry the child as soon as possible, so that she could marry her daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and she would be more relaxed. I really admire it, she doesn't care about the house for a day, she used to be in charge of her mother-in-law, but now that her mother-in-law is old, she wants to marry a capable daughter-in-law and come back. Help her manage, she's such a blessed person. ”
Lan Caiyu smiled and said, "I haven't told you yet." My eldest son is already looking at each other. Some time ago, Qiaozhen also sent me a letter, she asked about my daughter and wanted to talk to me. I'm still hesitating. The year before last, I was in Jiangnan, and I also met Qiaozhen's eldest son, who was very good. However, to be a clan wife, to be a housewife. It's hard work. I was reluctant to let my daughter go. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled. Mingzhu said: "I think this marriage is very good." Qiaozhen's eldest son, I have met. Very good kid. It is also long, and it is also capable. Clever. I like your daughter very much, she is a capable one. Since childhood, you will settle accounts, and you will not contribute less to your business. You're such a daughter. It must be a rich dowry. I just went to Cao's house. No one dares to underestimate either. ”
Lan Caiyu said: "I naturally give my daughter the best." At least ten times better than my dowry. If only Qiaozhen had become my daughter's mother-in-law. I also rest assured that Qiaozhen will be good to my daughter. But you know what is going on in our family. I have been with you. The Wang family later became what it is today. What about the Cao family. The Cao family is now a famous wealthy family in Jiangnan. I'm afraid that the door is not the right one, and in the future, my daughter will be angry in the Cao family. ”
Mingzhu said: "It's not right for my sister to say that. How did you leave? What happened to the fall of the Wang family? I'm not in the same situation? I'm not a good one yet? Which one dares to say anything about me? Rest assured. You're in a better position now than I was back then. After all, your current new Wang family is already a soybean oil royal family, and it is also a famous wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, although it may be worse than the Cao family in terms of heritage, but it is much better than the average rich family, and the merchants are already much better. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, everything else is secondary, the most important thing is the children's thoughts, I think the children are still too young, wait for two years, let them meet, if there is fate, then talk about it?" It's better than being a grudge. ”
Lan Caiyu said: "It has always been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, but I also agree with what Wen Hui said." Now that I am the head of the family, I have no scruples about anything. I just want the kids to be doing well. It doesn't matter if you have money or you don't have money, as long as you live happily. So, I don't care about those rules, Wen Hui is right, when the time comes, find a chance for the children to meet, there is fate, and it will naturally work. We won't worry about it. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled.
Mingzhu sighed and said: "Hey, if you say that, I can't say it, in fact, I want to be cheeky and tell you, let you give your eldest son two years later, wait until my daughter is older, give her a chance, I am very you to pay back your eldest son." Keihara likes it too. ”
Lan Caiyu said: "Your family is the daughter of the prime minister, not to mention the current situation of our family, even when the bank was in the king's house, we couldn't climb high." Pull it down. ”
Mingzhu glared and said, "What is the prime minister's daughter, don't you know what the situation is in our family?" Jingyuan now has a big official position, but are the two of us the kind of people who forget our friends when we get power? I like my sister, and I think that my daughter will not be angry with you as a mother-in-law in the future. The family situation is still simple, and there are no relatives with three complicated aunts and six mothers-in-law. Your eldest son is still a very good one. In this case, I'm afraid that if I miss it, it won't be easy to find, so I'm cheeky to tell you, you say so, but you can't look down on our family? Tell you, sister, although our family is not as good as your soybean oil business, but in the past few years, my tea business has also been good, and there is no problem in giving my daughter a good dowry in the future. ”
Lan Caiyu was very moved. If you really marry the daughter of the prime minister, the soybean oil royal family will really become a wealthy family. It's a sister taking care of her. In the past few years, the sisters have been taking care of her, otherwise, how can she raise her children and sit down in this career?
Chen Wenhui said: "Don't talk about it, wait until two years later, when the children are older, let's see if they have fate." Sister Mingzhu said this is also true. Sister Caiyu, you will marry your daughter-in-law a few years later and give Sister Mingzhu a chance, okay? ”
Lan Caiyu said, "Of course it's good. Sisters help me, I still don't know? Mingzhu's daughter is qualified to enter the palace as a queen. It is our opportunity and honor to wait for two years for the son of a businessman. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay, the two sisters are so decided." Sister Caiyu, your business has been getting better and better in recent years? ”
Lan Caiyu said, "But isn't it? Our family's soybean oil business is now all over Dachu, even in the northwest, with the help of your husband and wife, a lot of workshops have been established in the past few years? Now Wang's soybean oil is already famous in the whole of Dachu. With this income alone, I was able to live a very luxurious life. Don't you know what I'm wearing? ”
Mingzhu said: "Although my sister is luxurious, it is also low-key luxury, elegant luxury, just as beautiful." ”
Lan Caiyu smiled and said, "Are you still the girl in the cardamom years back then?" We're all going to be mothers-in-law, what's pretty? I'm already very happy to have today, but it's a pity that Yaozhen didn't see these and already went. Back then, I also resented her. But later, seeing that she lost her only son, she had no hope of revenge, so she could only die, how miserable was it? I felt sad again. ”
"Especially later, before she went, she gave me some silver. Although I was no longer short of silver at that time. However, it is for children. I took it anyway. What touched me the most was the letter she gave me. In the letter, she said that she did something wrong back then, and that I was the most sorry person in her life. I cried for a long time. ”
Speaking of this, Lan Caiyu shed tears again.
Thinking of Wang Yaozhen, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu also shed tears.
In the middle of the ring, Chen Wenhui said: "Although there is a problem with Yaozhen among us. However, in my heart I have always regarded her as a friend. I didn't expect her to go so miserably. Although I have avenged her now, she can't see it. Ay. ”
For a while, the atmosphere was a little heavy.
Or Lan Caiyu said: "It's all my fault, why mention this." I'm here to ask you something, Wen Hui? ”
Chen Wenhui hurriedly wiped her tears and asked, "What did my sister ask?" ”
Lan Caiyu said, "Are you going to go back to Nanyang?" ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes, after the New Year, I will go back." Maybe there are fewer times when you come to the capital. ”
Lan Caiyu said with some sadness: "In the inland area of Dachu, only me and Mingzhu, Qiaozhen, are left." ”
Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sister, let me tell you something quietly, in two years, our husband and wife also plan to go to Nanyang." So, in the future, it may be just you and Sister Qiaozhen left. ”
Lan Caiyu was shocked and said, "How can this be? Lord Liu is a very popular minister, he is the emperor's minister, and he is still so young, he is in the middle of the day, how can he say it easily? The emperor can't agree either. ”
Mingzhu said: "Sister must keep it secret. This matter has already been said by the emperor, Chongyi, and Jingyuan. Now, Chongyi and his wife go first. After two years, the situation in the court has stabilized, and our husband and wife will also pass. We can't work for the emperor all our lives, don't do our own things, and don't rest for a few years? ”
Lan Caiyu was stunned.
Mingzhu said: "Our husband and wife want to retire in two years and enjoy the mountains and rivers, otherwise, when they are old in the future, their arms and legs will not work, and if they want to play, there will be no way to go." ”
Lan Caiyu said: "What you said is also true, but it takes great courage to give up power." ”
Mingzhu smiled and said, "What's so hard about this? Although we have given up our power, we are still very rich, and we can still be brothers and sisters together in Nanyang, and we are not alone, how can we not be willing to give up? ”
Lan Caiyu thought about it, and it was true wisdom to know that the rapids retreated bravely. And Liu Jingyuan is a person with true wisdom. It's no surprise that he thinks so. Some of them were very envious.
Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, the meal should be ready, let's go to the flower room to chat and eat." (To be continued.) )
