Chapter 124: The Pearl Club (Part 1)
At the pearl meeting, someone needs to preside over the auction and introduce the matter of pearl farming to everyone, so that people can believe that there is indeed a secret method of pearl farming in this world.
Zheng Woxue originally wanted to disguise herself as a man to be the host, but Cao Hao and Wei Xin both felt that it was inappropriate, because today's social atmosphere is strict, and the world despises women for showing their heads. Even if she changes into men's clothes, Zheng Woxue has a bit of a look after all, and if she is recognized, it will be against her integrity, and many things will be inconvenient.
After some negotiations, it was finally finalized. Zheng Woxue told Wei Xin the overview of the pearl, asked him to memorize it, and when the pearl meeting came, Wei Xin would explain it to everyone.
Because Zheng Woxue lived in the inner courtyard of the Cao family, it was not very convenient for Wei Xin to enter and exit the whole house, and Wei Xin had to take into account the dynamics of the pearl merchants on the side of Linjiang Building, so the two discussed, and opened a private room in the backyard inn of Linjiang Building as a temporary station, and Zheng Woxue said that the Cao family would take a carriage to "teach" pearl matters.
This time, Zheng Woxue took the car to Linjiang Tower as usual. When she was walking to Hua'an Street, her car was suddenly stopped. On the opposite side was a luxurious carriage with gold and silver, and the guards and entourage, including the coachman who stopped Zheng Woxue's chariot, were all well-dressed and obviously wealthy families.
The coachman came over and saluted and asked, "Dare to ask if it's Miss Zheng in the car?" ”
The entourage of the Cao family escorting Zheng Woxue was not sure what the other party was about, so they didn't answer, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing when you stop us? ”
The coachman was very well-behaved, and replied respectfully: "We are the Bai family in the west of the city, and my young grandmother asks to see Miss Zheng." ”
Zheng Woxue listened to it in the car, frowned, she naturally knew who the Bai family was, but she didn't know what the young grandmother of the Bai family was, and she had nothing to say to the Bai family. ”
The Cao family's entourage immediately said so, and then ordered the car to leave.
A coquettish cry suddenly came from the car over there: "Sister, go slowly!" As he spoke, two maids came up from behind and put down the bench and helped down a young woman covered in silk from the car.
The young woman had been pregnant for several months, and her figure was revealed. She held her stomach with one hand and her waist with the other, saluted with the support of the two maids, and said softly: "Little sister Ruixue asks to see my sister." ”
Zheng Woxue heard that it was "Ruixue", and only then did she remember that Wei Xin accidentally mentioned that the young lady of the Yang family in Bihelou married the Bai family, and immediately pulled the corners of her mouth, and still ordered her entourage to ignore them and leave directly.
Since Zheng Woxue followed her brother to bring her mother of pearl from Taihu Lake to Jiangning a few days ago, she didn't know how to let Yang Mingchang know. After that, he looked for the Zheng brothers and sisters many times, openly and secretly, asking them to come out to meet, and asked someone to send a message to recognize them.
The scene of being turned away is vivid, where would the brothers and sisters be rare with such a father? Not to mention that he will recognize him again, and when he comes again, he will know that he is not at ease, so he made up his mind and never saw him. I think it's the old trick that has been exhausted, and now I'm taking my big-bellied daughter out.
If it weren't for the idea of the Pearl Society, the father and daughter would be able to take turns like this? Zheng Woxue connected the joints, and couldn't help but feel cold, and her heart was even more tired of the Yang family's father and daughter.
Where is Yang Ruixue willing to let them go like this, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said sadly: "Is my sister still blaming my father?" Even if my father is not, after all, he is my sister's biological father. Flesh and blood, how can you say that if you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it? Where is there such a reason for children in the world...... Over the years, my little sister has always been thinking about my sister, are you so ruthless that you refuse to see your sister? As she spoke, she cried softly and weakly.
There were already some people around to watch the excitement, and after listening to Yang Ruixue's words, the sound of chirping gradually sounded, mostly sympathizing with the pregnant woman, and some saying that the people in the car were not filial, how could they not recognize their father Yunyun.
Zheng Woxue laughed angrily in the carriage, although she would not forget her mother's desolate death, but she also did not forget that person was her biological father. Although he has been resentful and hateful all these years, he is also worried, for fear that his brother will not be able to let go of his obsession and cause a tragedy of father and son. This is good, now she and her brother don't want to take revenge, but the other party still wants to stick to it, and they use such a method to force themselves to meet, it's really shameless! She was going to ignore them and leave, but she heard a voice suddenly from the crowd, "Isn't this followed by the people of the Cao family of the Weaving Mansion......"
Zheng Woxue frowned slightly, of course her own mess could not involve the reputation of the Cao family, so she cleared her throat helplessly at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "Young Grandma Bai recognized the wrong person!" Your surname is Yang, my surname is Zheng, it's irrelevant, I dare to be your sister? Don't let out a lot of grief here, don't look at the children, but also save some face for the Bai family! ”
Yang Ruixue was still just crying, whimpering and saying that a banquet had been set up in the restaurant in front of her, and she wanted to invite her sister to go over to release her suspicions, but Zheng Woxue didn't go with her, so she stood here and cried until she died.
There are more and more people around, and there are all kinds of things, Yang Ruixue is in front of the car with a big belly, and she can't get around her. Zheng Woxue frowned, gritted her teeth, and ordered her entourage to follow her, secretly saying in her heart, if you deceive people too much, you can't help but be polite.
* In the private room of Jinquan Building, Yang Ruixue bowed to Zheng Woxue Yingying: "My little sister has seen my sister." ”
Zheng Woxue turned sideways to avoid her, and said calmly: "I have already said that, I don't dare to be your sister to Grandma Bai." You deadlifted me, what else can you teach? ”
Yang Ruixue's eyes were covered with mist again, and she said pitifully: "My sister is really annoyed by my father, but she refuses to recognize me as a sister?" Although I shouldn't talk about the elders, it's really my mother's, in fact, my father often misses his eldest brother and sister, and how many times has he thought about bringing you back......"
Seeing her behaving like this, Zheng Woxue only felt disgusted, and waved her hand to interrupt her at the moment: "If Grandma Bai is fine, Woxue will leave first." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Sister!" Yang Ruixue hurriedly reached out to pull Zheng Woxue's sleeve, but she stumbled under her feet, snorted, let go to hold the table to support her body, and pressed her other hand on her stomach, her brows furrowed, and her face was painful.
Zheng Woxue also frightened when she saw that she seemed to have a tire. After all, she was kind-hearted, no matter how much she hated the Yang and Bai families, she would not joke with human life, so she immediately walked over to support Yang Ruixue, placed her on the stool, and asked with concern: "How is it?" You okay? Call someone to take you back! ”
Yang Ruixue didn't mention herself, but grabbed Zheng Woxue's sleeve: "Does my sister really refuse to recognize me?" Over the years, I have been thinking about my brothers and sisters all the time. I've always wondered how nice it would be if you came back! I miss me alone, married alone, and I don't dare to mention the grievances I was wronged in my mother-in-law's family, just because my mother's family doesn't even have a brother or sister who is my master......" but he couldn't go on with a whimper, and tears rolled down like beads of broken thread.
Zheng Woxue sighed softly and handed her a handkerchief.
Yang Ruixue said: "Since I got married, my father and mother often feel desolate and lonely. Will you move back with your brother? Wouldn't it be beautiful for us to share a family as a family? They also know that they are wrong, and they want to make amends to you. And now you are outside, after all, you are under the fence, not my sister and I will talk, in the end, you are not at home, or you are treated as a guest, and you are not more comfortable than your own home......"
Zheng Woxue stared at Yang Ruixue's eyes, saw her tears, her face was sincere, and her eyelids drooped at the moment: "The past is over, don't mention it!" ”
Yang Ruixue saw that Zheng Woxue seemed to have the intention of loosening, so she hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Our father is already over fifty years old, and his body and bones are not as good as in the first few years. I don't dare to say the word 'thanks', I have brothers and sisters who are filial piety in front of my parents, and I am sincerely gracious......" he said, stood up and bowed again.
Zheng Woxue raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "Did Yang Mingchang say that let our brother and sister go to Yang's house?" ”
Yang Ruixue couldn't figure out her thoughts, so she only nodded.
Zheng Woxue asked again: "He said let's help take care of his business?" ”
Yang Ruixue nodded and softened her voice: "This is also my brother and sister's industry!" It's better to do our own industry than to outsiders, right? ”
Zheng Woxue smiled, didn't say a word, stood up and walked out. Yang Ruixue was stunned, and hurriedly chased out, wondering which sentence was not appropriate enough.
Yang Ruixue didn't walk very fast, and she was pregnant again, so she hurried to the door and stopped Zheng Woxue, who was about to get into the car. As soon as she got outside, she immediately cried again: "What did my sister annoy me? My sister is clumsy and can't speak, so won't it be okay to compensate you......"
Zheng Woxue was about to speak, when suddenly a group of people came over there, and he heard someone calling: "Ruixue, you have a body, what are you running around?" While speaking, a young man in his twenties walked over, and everyone in the Bai family saluted him, calling him "Young Master".
Zheng Woxue turned her back to the young master of the Bai family, listened to his shouting, subconsciously turned her head, saw that it was a young man, and then turned back.
The young master of the Bai family saw a woman with a graceful back standing with his wife from a distance, approached and just asked a question, look at the beautiful woman's face, the beauty turned around, he seemed to be fixed on the ground, his mouth was open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
The woman in front of me and his wife are somewhat similar, the same beauty, but not as delicate as his wife, but bright and beautiful, revealing a different kind of beauty. The young master of the Bai family itched in his heart when he saw this, although Zheng Woxue turned around and didn't look at him, his eyes were still staring at the corners of people's earlobes and skirts.
Yang Ruixue coughed lightly and said, "Xianggong, this is the sister I said, my father is the most concerned." ”
Zheng Woxue was a little impatient: "Grandma Bai, I have said many times, I can't afford the word 'sister', please take it back." Farewell. ”
Before Yang Ruixue could speak, Bai Dexi, the young master of the Bai family, rubbed over, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Sister." Don't go! ”
The sound of "sister" was clearly a flirtatious tone, and Zheng Woxue glanced at it coldly: "Young Master of the Bai family, please be respectful!" ”
The Cao family's entourage also gathered, staring at Bai Dexi coldly, and if he was rude, they would teach him a lesson.
Bai Dexi was unaware of the eyes of the people around him, and smiled: "Since you are a sister, you should be close and close!" Jinquan Building, brother-in-law is the east, and my sister is a face-to-face reunion......"
Zheng Woxue didn't want to cause trouble, raised her hand to stop the entourage who had already pulled up her arms and sleeves and was about to do it, she didn't bother to look at Bai Dexi anymore, she only moved her eyes to Yang Ruixue, and wanted to stab her twice to tell her to speak out and manage her own husband, but she saw Yang Ruixue half-hanging her head, with a meek and virtuous face, but her hands were hanging her handkerchief. Zheng Woxue suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her, didn't say anything at the moment, turned around and was about to get into the car.
Bai Dexi has always been used to debauchery, where is he willing to let the beautiful woman go? He didn't know whose car and whose home was this, he only relied on the many retinues he brought, and he was not afraid of the other party, and he wanted to go over to entangle Zheng Woxue.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and three fast horses galloped in front of everyone. Wei Xin got off the horse with two long entourage, hugged Zheng Woxue and said, "Miss Zheng is okay?" ”
Zheng Woxue was relieved to see him coming, and nodded.
Wei Xin glanced at Bai Dexi and raised his eyebrows: "Second Young Master Bai?" ”
Who in the mall doesn't know Wei Xin, the manager of the Cao family firm? Who doesn't know the fifth master of the Wei family? Bai Dexi was immediately frightened when he saw him, and hurriedly asked An Dao: "Fifth Master Wei, what kind of wind blew you here?" Fortunately, fortunately, it just so happens that this is not Jinquan Building, let's go up and have a drink? Little brother is the east, and I respect you ......"
Wei Xin smiled: "There are mundane affairs, let's change it!" He didn't look at him and Yang Ruixue, but only said to Zheng Woxue: "Miss Zheng, please get in the car, the son is still waiting, let's go!" ”
Zheng Woxue smiled and got into the carriage. Under his escort, he went to Linjiang Tower.
Bai Dexi looked at the beauty and walked away, smacked his tongue and regretted it, and looked back at Yang Ruixue: "You said you, a person with a body, what are you running around!" Get in the car and go home. ”
Yang Ruixue got into the car silently, Bai Dexi abandoned the horse, also got into the car, and asked his wife: "That woman, is that Zheng Woxue?" What did you come to her for? ”
"My father asked me to persuade her and her brother to go back." Yang Ruixue smelled the smell of Bai Dexi's green building fat powder, and couldn't help frowning, but she still said softly: "Where did you come from?" ”
"I was passing by for something, and when I saw your car, I came over and asked. Your father too, you have a child in your belly, and he sent you to do this and that, what if you hurt the child! Bai Dexi said dissatisfiedly: "Also, are you also confused?" You persuade them to go back? Then Zheng Hai went back, your father has a son, where is the turn of the Yang family's Wanguan family wealth? ”
Yang Ruixue lowered her eyelids: "No matter how you say it, it's my own brother, after all, it's a family of flesh and blood." ”
Bai Dexi snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Oh, you are really a good daughter of the Yang family!" ”
Yang Ruixue hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and wept: "What are you talking about?" Although I am the daughter of the Yang family, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Bai family! I already have the surname Bai, and my child is also surnamed Bai, so I rushed to the child, where can I harm our Bai family? Isn't it all for the Bai family? You don't believe me? ”
"Gotcha, gotta gotta gotcha, auntie, don't cry, don't cry. Mine is not, mine is not, I can't make amends to you! Bai Dexi was most afraid that this delicate little daughter-in-law would shed tears, and she was busy hugging her for a long time.
Yang Ruixue lay in his arms, smelling the choking smell of rouge, and his heart hurt hard. Thinking that Zheng Woxue was dressed unusually just now, and the Cao family was so respectful to her, I was afraid that the Cao family would look at her differently, and Bao Buqi was ready to give it to that person. Yang Ruixue is jealous and hateful, obviously she is a hundred times stronger than her, why does she have to suffer this, but she is so proud and happy?
Besides, Wei Xin got a letter from the Cao family's entourage, and knew that Zheng Woxue was stopped by the Yang family, so he rushed to the rescue. Zheng Woxue didn't mention anything along the way, and he didn't ask.
When she arrived at Linjiang Tower, Zheng Woxue drank a cup of tea and calmly said the general meaning of Yang Ruixue just now. Wei Xin heard that the Yang family was digging the foot of the wall, but he couldn't get Zheng Woxue's attitude, so he didn't say a word, just waiting for her to speak.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zheng Woxue smiled and said, "Fifth brother can't trust me?" ”
Wei Xin hurriedly said that there was no such thing.
Zheng Woxue said seriously: "Although Gongzi Cao's great kindness to our brothers and sisters has not been declared in his mouth every time, he has always remembered it in his heart and never forgotten it for a moment. Are we ungrateful little men? When I say this today, I don't want to tell the fifth brother about this loyalty, but I want to ask the fifth brother for a favor. ”
She paused and said, "Actually, the past is over, and my brother and I don't want to take revenge anymore." But the Yang family is too inferior, it is tolerable, which is unbearable. Give them a lesson, save them such endless entanglements! ”
Wei Xin smiled and said, "Presumably the sister of the Zheng family has a clever plan?" The foolish brother is willing to be sent. ”
Zheng Woxue shook her head: "When I think of them, I'm so irritable, where is there a good way for a while, I still want the fifth brother to help me come up with an idea." ”
Wei Xin was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Where would I think of any good way, it won't hinder some undesirable things, such as finding someone to knock them off...... Let's wait for the son to discuss! ”
After a while, Cao Hao also arrived at Linjiang Tower. As soon as they entered the door, Zheng Woxue and Wei Xin told them what they wanted to teach Yang Mingchang a lesson.
Cao Hao heard this and said to Zheng Woxue: "Leave this matter to me, I promised you to avenge you." This time, I will definitely breathe this out for your brothers and sisters! ”
Wei Xin interjected: "Childe has a way?" ”
Cao Hao thought for a while, nodded with a smile: "You just see, he must be asked to take a big 'advantage'!" ”——
