Chapter 149: Strange Woman

The doctor soon arrived, helped Li Mu pull out the dagger, applied gold sore medicine, and bandaged Li Chongyi. In fact, Li Mu's injury was not serious, the water snake's waist was far away, and it was thrown out in a hurry, less than an inch into the meat, but the position of the injury was embarrassing.

"Change the dressing regularly every day, and you can be cured in three to five days."

The doctor left a sufficient amount of gold sore medicine, and the woman gave the consultation money and the usual reward, and went away happily. And Li Mu also learned about the woman's situation from Cheng Yanjin's mouth, this woman is indeed the wife of Cheng Yanjin's brother-in-law, born in Taiyuan Wang's family, and her maiden name is Wang Ou.

Cheng Yanjin's wife, Cui, is the eldest daughter of Qinghe Cui. And this woman's husband is the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui clan. The Cui and Wang families have long had a marriage covenant. Each generation must marry each other's daughters, so this woman has been the daughter-in-law of the Qinghe Cui clan since she was born.

The Cui family's son is blessed, he has been a sick child since he was a child, and the Cui family is worried that the Wang family will regret the marriage, so they have always concealed the illness of the Cui family's son. It was until I was seventeen years old, and I couldn't hold it anymore. The folk pay attention to 'Chongxi', so they started to organize the marriage of the two. Wang Ou, who didn't know anything, married the Cui family's son in this way, but within three days of marriage, the Cui family's son fell ill and died. The Wang family accused the Cui family of concealing it, and the Cui family accused the Wang family's daughter Kefu, and the two families almost fought because of this.

Later, it was Wang Jue who made adjustments from it, Wang Jue was Wang Ou's uncle, and Wang Jue was still in the prince's mansion at that time, but he was already an important figure in the court of the gate valve family. He came to adjust, and the Cui family also had to give face. The result of the adjustment is that the daughter of the Wang family has been married, and the water spilled by the married daughter has been the Cui family since then. The Cui family's son has been beaten, but he can remarry the other sons of the Cui family, and the two families are still in-laws. The Cui family naturally agreed, especially the sons of the Cui family, who were even more excited. Wang Ou is a famous family, and he has a good reputation. According to legend, she is the first beauty in Taiyuan, and it is even more rare to know all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, who doesn't want to marry such a wife.

Although it is a second marriage, the Cui family knows that the eldest son is a sick man, and he will be gone after three days of marriage, and nothing can be done, Wang Ou is still a big girl. And in this era, there is no shame in remarrying and remarrying, and no one will care.

A result acceptable to both parties, but was opposed by Wang Ou himself. She said that marrying the son of the Cui family was an obligation as the daughter of the Wang family, and she fulfilled this obligation, but she was shamelessly deceived. I also want to marry her to the other sons of the Cui family, and she will definitely not suffer this kind of insult again. I'd rather die than agree. The Wang family already owed Wang Ou a debt and couldn't bear to force him. The Cui family was annoyed, and since Wang Ou didn't agree to remarry, then be a widow in the Cui family!

Wang Ou is also a very individual woman, even if she agreed. asked the Cui family to share the eldest son's property for themselves, and the Cui family also gave it. But only three shops and seventy acres of land were given, which was nothing short of a drop in the bucket for the Cui family. For if the firstborn live, the firstborn shall inherit the family inheritance. Even if you don't inherit it, you will receive at least ten times as much property.

Wang Ou did not argue, but accepted the arrangement. What no one expected was that she relied on three shops, seventy acres of land, and a few dowry maids brought by her mother's family to earn ten times her wealth in just two years.

In contrast, the other sons of the Cui family are all unscrupulous, and none of them can take on the big responsibility. Later, when Cheng Yanjin's wife went home to save his relatives and make peace with him, the relationship between Wang Ou and the Cui family gradually eased, and the Cui family also asked her to help with affairs. Until three years ago, more than seventy percent of the Cui family's business transactions had passed through her hands.

Such a situation has aroused the worries of the elders of the Cui family. Some people believe that Wang Ou was originally the daughter of the Wang family, and because of her marriage, she hated the Cui family. The Cui family's business is in her hands, and it is really unsafe. Moreover, at this time, the Cui family's business has more than doubled in the hands of Wang Ou, and some people can't hold it back and want to pick the fruit.

Wang Ou didn't say anything, and returned all the Cui family's transactions, the accounts were clear, and he was not greedy for a penny of profits. And Cheng Yanjin's wife, because of this incident, felt ashamed of Wang Ou and didn't dare to take the initiative to meet her. The relationship between the two has also been estranged since then.

Wang Ou also drew a clear line with the Cui family because of this incident. The sale of Qinghe was sold, and the main body moved to Luoyang, where it is now mainly engaged in silk, spices, tea and other businesses. There are stores in Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and other 'five capitals', and no one knows how big the business is. But no one dared to underestimate her, when Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, the Yellow River was flooded, and the treasury could not come up with enough money for disaster relief. Wang Ou donated 100,000 yuan and lent 100,000 yuan to the imperial court to help Li Shimin tide over the difficulties. Therefore, Li Shimin gave her a special order, which also made her famous all over the world.

These deeds are known to the people, nobles, and gate lord families of Chang'an, and it is not a secret, only a bun from the border city of the Western Regions like Li Mu does not know.

Hearing this, Li Mu sincerely admired Wang Ou. You must know that Wang Ou is not like him, he has a system, and he has everything to do with some gold fingers. She is a Tang Dynasty person, her husband died, she was suppressed by her husband's family, and she can have today, relying on her own ingenuity, and the so-called strong women in later generations are nothing more than that.

"What are you talking about? Are you talking about slave families? ”

Wang Ou's voice came, and she had already sent the doctor and the people from the government before returning to the store.

Li Mu asked, and the old man only said a few words, but he didn't talk about anything.

Li Mu found that Cheng Yanjin seemed to be a little 'afraid' of this brother-in-law, he was both curious and funny, Cheng Demon King, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, did he have people who were afraid?

Wang Ou smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing to talk about, and the slave family is not afraid of anyone knowing." Hou Ye has to heal his injuries quickly, and when his injuries are healed in the coming day, the slave family will have to ask for poetry. ”

"I dare not be ashamed to ask for advice, I write poetry just out of nature, inspired by it, and when inspiration does not come, I can't write it."

Wang Ou's eyebrows rolled, and he said, "Then I don't know when Hou Ye will be inspired?" ”

"Uh......" Li Mu thought for a while and said, "When you quarrel with someone." ”

Wang Ou giggled, Cheng Yanjin didn't seem to want Li Mu and Wang Ou to have too much intersection, and said loudly: "That...... It was getting late, and the door was closed. I've got you an ox cart, and I'll send you a team to take you home. ”

"Okay."

Wang Ou looked at Cheng Yanjin and said, "I've been in Chang'an for a few days, and I've been busy with business matters, and I haven't visited my sister." My brother-in-law said that tomorrow I will prepare gifts and go to the house to visit. ”

"Ahh Well, well, your sister must be happy to see you. ”
