Mrs. Wan took her second son, Young Master Wan, to visit her neighbor Xie's house on time.

She obviously comes to the Xie family often, and even Zhao Fengnian's wife is very familiar, and she can still laugh. After entering the main house, she asked her son to salute Wen's greetings, and met Xie Xianzhi's brothers. Although she had a light attitude towards Xie Huizhi and Xie Hanzhi, she was polite to Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi, and prepared a decent meeting gift, praised a few words, and then began to introduce her son's recent situation without a trace, showing off her son's good talent and diligence, and never mentioned the sons of the Xie family again.

Her son, Young Master Waner, although he seems to be a handsome son, is obviously not a person with high emotional intelligence. In the face of his mother's praise, he praised the awards, as if he was very modest, but the pretentiousness exposed at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows betrayed his true thoughts. Even out of politeness, he never praised the Xie family brothers, and didn't seem to think that the other party was worthy of a word of praise in front of him. His mother, Mrs. Wan, is better than him in terms of human sophistication.

The Wen family was probably accustomed to their mother and son's style, and did not show any different colors, and after praising the second young master with a smile, he asked the boys to take him to the north study to talk. After that, whether they continued to stay in the north study and talk awkwardly, or invited people to take a walk in the garden, it was the boys' business, and she would not interfere.

Xie Xianzhi's brothers just spoke politely to the guests, and did not show displeasure. But Xie Huizhi was a little unhappy with the contempt and neglect of Wan Jia's mother and son, and felt that the second young master seemed to be a mallet, and he didn't want to stay with the other party, so he planned to turn around and leave when he left the main house. But when he thought that the two gentle and decent brothers were still there, he didn't know if it was the opponent of the Waner mallet, what if he was not there, and the other party made disrespectful remarks, causing the two sides to quarrel? In addition to him, the other three brothers are all Sven, who can pull the subordinates to refute the villain? He had to pinch his nose and follow, but on the pretext that the fourth brother had just recovered from a serious illness and needed to recuperate, he sent Xie Hanzhi away.

Wen entertained Mrs. Wan in the house, habitually made an opening statement with the recent weather changes, and said that after his relatives went north, the family was very busy, and the weather was cold, so he had not gone out for many days, so as to explain the reason why he had not gone to Wanjia to see Mrs. Wan recently.

Mrs. Wan didn't care much about this, she didn't have much leisure to entertain friends recently, but she just followed Wen's tone and said: "There are so many people in your family now, and there are two mothers-in-law and a sister-in-law, there must be a lot of things, and it is not easy for you, if there is anything you need help with, just ask." Then he got to the point, "Have your family also patronized the business of Kira Fang?" I remember that you used to make a gift from his family's materials, and I even received one. It was precisely because I thought his family was good that I called his shopkeeper to his house from time to time! ”

Wen Shi paused and smiled, "Qiluo Fang...... Naturally, I've been there. However, the materials used by the daily family wear, I usually ask the shopkeeper of the shop below to send them, I have a caravan at home, and there is no shortage of workshops, as long as it can be used, why spend money to buy it outside? ”

"So you don't know how hateful the shopkeeper of Qiluo Fang is!" Mrs. Wan finally said the topic she wanted to talk about, and described the reason why she had a bad feeling for the Luo shopkeeper and his wife - of course, she was absolutely right in this process, and she didn't eat any excessive flying vinegar, but Luo Niangzi shamelessly seduced the married man, and the married man was also a gentleman who was clear and decent and not tempted by the outside world, so it became more and more obvious that Luo Niangzi was hateful and Luo had bad intentions, and then involved the Lin family.

She said a little angrily: "Although the Lin family is not successful, I am afraid that even the mother of his family and His Royal Highness the prince will not be able to please him, but this Luo family couple knows the opportunity, knowing that their own backer has fallen, so they quickly found another backer!" That Mrs. Xu is also confused, what benefits can this Qiluo Fang bring to her except for a few stinky silver? But she insisted on sheltering this shameless and unscrupulous couple, and sent someone to send me a message, telling me not to embarrass them - when will I feel sorry for them?! I'm a dignified four-grade fate, will I still see the same two little people?! They fled because they knew the news of the Lin family's bad deeds, not because I sent someone to scold the street! ”

Wen's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a while before he came to his senses: "Mrs. Xu? What did she do with this kind of thing? Qiluo Fang is just a silk shop, even if the business is doing better, it has only been open for a few years, how much silver can it come up with? If Mrs. Xu is interested, how many merchants in Beiping City who were willing to rely on her in the past, let alone one or two? Which one is not better than Kira Fang? Why did she bother to get along with Sister Wan for the sake of these two little people? ”

"Isn't it?!" Mrs. Wan said angrily, "I'm so angry that I don't know what to say!" Such a trivial matter, she specially sent someone to tell me! Originally, as long as the slut surnamed Luo came to kowtow to me and make amends, I wouldn't bother with her, and I wouldn't call her to the door in the future. Mrs. Xu specially spoke, I didn't agree, and I didn't agree. I didn't agree, for fear that she would think that there was no one in my eyes, and she would say bad things about me everywhere in Beiping City, causing the ladies of Yanwangfu to also misunderstand my character; If I agreed, it seems that I really did something bad to the slut surnamed Luo, am I wronged?! This is obviously because they were afraid that outsiders would know that Qiluofang was the property of the Lin family, so they deliberately used me as a shield to coax Mrs. Xu! ”

Wen asked her: "Although my sister is wronged, this kind of thing is ...... If you don't agree, you won't be able to explain to Mrs. Xu, and it's easy for outsiders to misunderstand your sister's character. Now I can only agree first, and then find an opportunity to explain to Mrs. Xu. ”

"I thought so too, so I reluctantly accepted Mrs. Xu's words." Mrs. Wan's face was very unhappy, "But I really can't swallow this breath!" So I explained the reason to the messenger on the spot! The mother-in-law said that she would return to Mrs. Xu truthfully, but after that, no one came to compensate me, but someone saw Mrs. Xu taking Luo's slut in and out of other people's banquets, which was simply to protect her! ”

Mrs. Wan was aggrieved in her heart, and she had to find someone to confess in order to get out of this breath. But recently, no one invited her to a banquet, so she could only find her neighbor Wen Shi first.

Wen was even more surprised: "Why is that? How can Mrs. Luo be valued by Mrs. Xu? ”

"Who knows?!" Mrs. Wan snorted coldly, "People who have been widows for many years still show their faces everywhere, maybe they lost their temper with each other, but I don't know." Mr. Zhou heard that the situation has been getting worse and worse recently. The old lady has been gone for two years, and when Mrs. Zhou can't hold on, I want to know, what backing does she have in this Beiping City, can support her, an unknown person, to continue to step on the heads of our female dependents of serious officials to show off her might?! ”
