Chapter 182: It's not easy to be a woman
Wu Jing now can't remember which family Li Zhengshan and his father belong to in the capital, after all, he was just hearsay at the time, and he happened to hear about this son-in-law in the tavern.
But this did not prevent Wu Jing from being afraid of Mrs. Li.
Although he didn't know Mrs. Li's origin, and he didn't know why the other party hid in a small place like Ninghai County with his son, he knew that he couldn't afford to mess with this Mrs. Li.
As the saying goes, there are still three catties of nails in a rotten ship, and those big families who can be prosperous for a while, which one can enjoy wealth for no reason?
Whether it is wealth, connections, or insight and knowledge, ordinary people simply cannot be compared with others.
Wu Jing didn't want to offend such a former noblewoman who might be a hidden boss.
Of course, these big rivers are not known.
All he knew was the part where Mrs. Li came out with the mirror.
As for how Wu Jing skillfully made compromises later, in order not to offend Mrs. Li as much as possible, and at the same time maximize his own interests, these big rivers have not been seen or heard.
At that time, he had already accompanied Qi Yu'an to report to Su Shen.
Yes, in the latter paragraph, Su Shen listened to Meng Zhen, and Meng Zhen listened to Mr. Bai's daughter Bai Yunzhen.
Bai Yunzhen and Qi Yu'an's childhood sweethearts had been engaged a few years ago.
At that time, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai had not miraculously given birth to an old son, so they had already agreed with Qi Yu'an that he and Bai Yunzhen's second son would follow Bai Yunzhen's surname Bai and inherit the Bai family's incense.
But after Bai Yunzhen's younger brother was born, this agreement was invalidated by both parties.
Qi Yu'an is not only a good learner, but also a very reliable character, compared to Wu Jing's way of casting a wide net, Mr. Bai is obviously more enlightened and smarter.
He married his baby daughter to Qi Yu'an, who was raised by him personally, instead of letting Bai Yunzhen recruit others, or directly forcing Qi Yu'an to join him.
This way of doing things not only makes Qi Yuan grateful for his nurturing grace, but also makes Qi Yuan not inferior because of his status.
In this way, Qi Yuan was naturally more grateful to him.
In addition, Qi Yuan and Bai Yunzhen decided on the premise of mutual affection, these two children know each other well, and they are affectionate and righteous to each other, and it will obviously be easier to live a good life in the future.
Before the banquet, the mountain chief, Mr. Bai and others finally organized a group to come to the Su house for a half-day tour.
Su Shen cheered up to entertain the guests, and Mr. Bai, Qi Yu'an, Li Zhengshan, Chen Jiabao, Shen Feng, and Yan Zhenwu were responsible for helping him receive the whole process according to the different identities of the guests.
Taking advantage of the short gap before everyone sat down, Su Shen called Li Zhengshan to a place where no one was and asked a few simple questions.
He didn't ask Lee about what happened—that gossip fanatic in Dahe had already told him about it.
He just briefly asked about the outcome of the matter.
Li Zhengshan looked calm and unaffected by this incident, "Mr. Wu has already said that this is a misunderstanding, and Miss Wu has also made a marriage with one of Mr. Wu's students." ”
Su Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Lee Jung-sun hasn't been affected.
Speaking of which, he and Li Zhengshan are actually in a similar situation, they do not have a strong family background, so they can only rely on their own hard work.
In this way, friends and allies are especially important to them.
And among all his friends, Lee Jeong-sun undoubtedly has the brightest future.
Such a person, Su Shen didn't want him to be ruined in the hands of a woman like Wu Jiao who had a brain in water.
Since they still had to entertain guests, Su Shen and Li Zhengshan only talked a few words, and the two of them went to their respective busyes again.
On the contrary, it was the very idle little girl Bai Yunzhen, who pulled Meng Zhen to talk about the battle of wits and courage between Mrs. Li and Wu Jing.
“... Mrs. Li is really amazing, there are five or six people on Mr. Wu's side, and all of them are teachers from Bailu Academy, and their eloquence is far beyond comparison. But even so, they were still defeated by Mrs. Li. ”
"Mr. Wu originally wanted to help his daughter make some compensation, but in the end, Mrs. Li only promised to keep her mouth shut about today's incident."
"And Mrs. Li also said that there are too many people who know about this matter today, and her promise can't control the other people present, the only thing she can guarantee is that she and her son will never say it."
Obviously, Mrs. Li is worried that if there is a rumor in the future, the Wu family will detain this black pot on their mother and son.
She is articulate, quotes scriptures and classics, reasonable, knowledgeable, and elegant, so that the little girl Bai Yunzhen, who just listened to Mr. Bai's relay, directly became her little fan sister.
Originally, Mrs. Bai did not approve of Mr. Bai letting her daughter be present to listen to these nonsense things when she told her, but Mr. Bai felt that the two of them should not raise their own good girl who was ignorant of the world.
Although Bai Yunzhen, who was carefully raised by Mrs. Wu, would not do something outrageous like Wu Jiao, which made people quite speechless, Mr. Bai still felt that Bai Yunzhen needed to learn from the mistakes of others.
He knows very well that it is not easy for women to survive in the world, compared to men who will be forgotten by people as long as the "prodigal son turns back", as long as a woman takes a wrong step, what awaits her will definitely be a bottomless abyss.
Mr. Bai didn't want his only daughter to not understand the sinister human heart at all, so after his daughter turned fifteen, Mr. Bai has been consciously teaching her to recognize human nature and the complexity of the human heart.
In his mind, neither he nor Mrs. Bai could accompany Bai Yunzhen for a lifetime, and even Qi Yu'an, who was Bai Yunzhen's fiancé, Mr. Bai didn't think that he could always protect Bai Yunzhen.
Mr. Bai feels that the correct way for him to open up his daughter is not to raise her as a delicate flower and a bird, but to give her the opportunity to contact the outside world and have the opportunity to try to fly with her immature wings.
It is also thanks to Mr. Bai's teaching method that Bai Yunzhen can grow into an indispensable right-hand man in Qi Yu'an's long journey in the future, help him avoid the calculations and frames in the open and in the dark, and help him keep the Qi family's back house from wind and rain.
Of course, that's for later.
The current Bai Yunzhen is just an innocent girl who was pampered by her parents and grew up.
Even if she has been guided by Mr. Bai and intends to get in touch with the dark side of human nature, this girl still doesn't have much real sense of the four words "sinister people's hearts".
