Chapter 54: One Stone

The next morning, Wang Xi woke up a little late, came out of her makeup, and found that there were scattered rains in the sky, and the air was a little fresher than usual.

She stood under the eaves for a while before Chang Ke got up.

"Morning!" She greeted Wang Xi and said, "What did you eat this morning?" ”

Wang Xi's cook here has good skills, she is well versed in the truth of "making a fortune with a muffled voice", although she often comes to eat and drink, but she has never said anything to the outside world.

Anan, who served next to him, hurriedly reported the name of the dish when he heard the words: "There are oil and salt white porridge, raw rolling fish fillet porridge, salted egg and cabbage sum porridge, meatball porridge, steamed chicken feet with soy sauce, steamed pork ribs, steamed powder rolls, steamed pork knuckles, ginger and green onion shutters, money tripe, barbecued pork buns, quicksand buns, honeycomb cakes, xiao long bao, glutinous rice rolls, radish cakes, ......"

Chang Ke drooled when he heard it, and Wang Xi also had a big appetite.

The two went to the flower hall for breakfast.

The raindrops were falling bigger and bigger, washing away the thick green of the courtyard and making it even more verdant.

"It's raining just right." Putting down the chopsticks, Chang Ke said, "Let's drink tea here." ”

Wang Xi called Anan to come in and clean up the table, and Bai Zhi helped make tea.

Mama Wang rushed in in the rain.

Chang Ke's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called A Bei a few people to take a handkerchief to wipe Mama Wang's face.

Mama Wang smiled and flicked the water droplets on her body, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, but it is not too tight." ”

Wang Xi saw that her face was full of tiredness, thinking that she must not have slept well last night, and rushed her to come over immediately after lunch and breakfast, but she was afraid that the news from the Bo family was not good.

She and Chang Ke sat down on the Luohan bed, asked the little maid to bring an embroidered pier beside her and invited Mama Wang to sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea for Mama Wang, and then she heard Mama Wang talk about the news.

"This matter was brought up by Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu." Mama Wang took a sip of tea and said clearly, "At that time, Mrs. Shizi of the Marquis of Qingyun Mansion sent her own grandmother to greet Mrs. Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.

"Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu moved her mind to be a matchmaker for you.

When the grandmother of Qingyunhou Mansion left, she mentioned it to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai felt that this family affair was very good, and she didn't discuss anyone, so she replied to Mrs. Tai's words in the Marquis of Xiangyang's mansion and asked her to find someone to go to the Marquis of Qingyun Mansion to test the temptation.

"Who knew that the people sent by Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu met their Mrs. Mrs. of Qingyun Marquis Mansion, and their Mrs. Mrs. was having a headache about Bo Gongzi's marriage.

"It just so happened.

"When Mrs. Qingyun Houfu came over, you happened to come in from outside, accompanied by green silk and red silk to the side to freshen up, Mrs. Qingyun Houfu took a fancy to you at a glance, saying that you are a blessed person, and even the Mrs. of our house did not meet, so she turned around and turned back, and asked people to bring a message to Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu and asked her to help match this family business."

Chang Ke opened his mouth when he heard this, looked Wang Xi left and right, and said strangely: "That old lady just looked at you like this, and you are not a heavenly master or a high monk, where can you see that you are a blessed person?" The old lady wouldn't have been moved by Bo Mingyue's words, just like Bo Mingyue, as long as she was beautiful, right? ”

Wang Xi scolded her with a smile that "a dog can't spit out ivory in its mouth", and then asked Mama Wang: "What do you have in mind?" ”

Mama Wang was even more tired, and said helplessly: "The slave doesn't know what to do?" If it was just the meaning of the Mrs. Xiangyang Marquis Mansion and the Mrs. Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, there were thousands of ways for the slaves and maids to make the Qingyun Marquis Mansion die, but now their Mrs. also took a fancy to the young lady......"

It's a little tricky.

Wang Xi was silent for a while.

Chang Ke said: "I think I'd better ask the elders in the family to come forward in this matter, right?" Why don't you go find your uncle? There is no benefit at all in marrying with the Qingyun Marquis Mansion. ”

"But it's not a bad thing to marry me." Wang Xi interrupted Chang Ke's words, "Nominally, I'm just a cousin and granddaughter of Mrs. Tai's mother's family. ”

Chang Ke and Mama Wang both lowered their heads.

Wang Xi saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, laughed, and said to Mama Wang: "You come here with your ears." ”

Mama Wang was surprised, and immediately smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and hurriedly leaned over.

Wang Xi whispered to Mama Wang.

Mama Wang couldn't hide her shock, she almost jumped up, and when Wang Xi finished speaking, she stammered and didn't know what to say: "This, how can this work?" I, I ......"

Wang Xi was calm and calm, and said with a smile: "You just do what I tell you." Speaking of this, she remembered that her letter to her eldest brother had not yet been written, and told her, "You wait here for me for a while, and help me bring a letter to the big treasurer." ”

She didn't know where her eldest brother was now, so she could only ask the big shopkeeper to help deliver the letter.

After that, she explained a few words to Chang Ke and hurried to the study.

Chang Ke and Mama Wang stared at each other in the flower hall. Chang Ke felt more like he had been scratched by a cat's paw, and wanted to ask Mama Wang what Wang Xi said to her just now, but she felt that Yu Li was incompatible and couldn't ask.

Mama Wang was also in a state of confusion, even if Chang Ke asked her, she didn't know what to say, not to mention that Chang Ke just wanted to talk and stopped, so she was even more reluctant to talk to her about it, so she simply changed the topic and talked to Chang Ke about the Han family: "I heard that the Han family bought a house in Baoxiangfang, and Han Lao'an's 60th birthday is going to be done in the new house?" Their family is trying to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, right? ”

It is not easy to live in the capital.

What's more, the capital has always had the saying that "the west is noble, the east is rich, the south is poor, and the north is cheap".

That Baoxiangfang, but in the west of the city, the Xizhimen area.

The Han family was able to buy a house there, and they made a lot of money.

Before Miss Han left the cabinet, she invited the juniors of her husband's family to pay homage to Han Lao'an, most likely because she wanted the people of the Chang family to see how rich the Han family was, and give the Chang family a dismount, so as not to be bullied by the concubine and sister-in-law when the bride entered the door.

Chang Ke didn't give up yet, and wanted to ask Mama Wang what Wang Xi had told her, but she didn't think deeply at all, and even was a little absent-minded when she answered Mama Wang: "The ancestral home of the Han family is Anhui, and it is one of the best tea merchants in Anhui. ”

Mama Wang continued to tell her about the Han family: "I heard that Miss Han is an only daughter, her father is the youngest son of her uncle's family, Miss Han's foreign family and the Han family are well-matched, and her mother's dowry must be a lot." I don't know what kind of business Miss Han's family has? ”

Chang Ke said: "It seems to be in the cloth business." Monopoly on coarse cloth and muslin. It is said that the business is all over the country, and the business is very good. ”

The Wang family did business in the southwest and northwest, where coarse cloth was more popular than silk.

Mama Wang suspected that Miss Han's family was Xuzhou Zhang's.

The two talked with each other, Chang Ke never had a chance to ask Mama Wang what Wang Xi said, Wang Xi hurried over again, handed the letter in his hand to Mama Wang, and said, "This matter should be fast!" Don't drag it around, it's going to end badly. ”

Mama Wang was still a little hesitant, her eyes were red, and she said, "Is there no other way?" Tell the uncle, the uncle must have a way! ”

Wang Xi smiled: "It's too late when my eldest brother comes over." Are you sure you want to wait for my big brother to come? ”

Their wife asked Mrs. Tai to help the eldest lady say that the family is good, and Mrs. Tai can book a family affair for Wang Xi without going through the Wang family.

Mama Wang didn't dare to delay, and trotted out of the Qingxue Garden.

Chang Ke couldn't hold back anymore and said, "What did you say to Mama Wang?" Why do you have to go to the big treasurer? Is there anything I can do to help? ”

She looked at Wang Xi with concern, and there was a worry between her eyebrows that could not be misunderstood.

Wang Xi laughed and said, "Don't worry, the matter between me and the Bo family is not so easy to settle." As for the big shopkeeper, I asked him to ask Grandpa Feng to see when he was free to go to Dajue Temple with me! ”

As for the matter between her and the fourth prince and Bo Mingyue, there is no need to tell Chang Ke, so as not to worry her.

Chang Ke felt that Wang Xi and Bo Mingyue's marriage proposal was more important, but Wang Xi's words failed to divert her attention, she continued to talk about it: "The wife of the prince of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion is the eldest lady of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, or let's let someone go and bring her a message?" She also likes Mrs. Qingyunhou's mansion, and her brother's errand is what Mrs. Qingyunhou's mansion said to Qingyunhou in person. ”

"Alright, alright!" Wang Xi grabbed Chang Ke's shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, Mama Wang has already gone to find the big shopkeeper, and it is always more useful for the big shopkeeper to come forward than for us to come forward, so we will wait for his news." ”

Chang Ke didn't believe it at all.

She looked at Wang Xi suspiciously and said, "You must have a trick!" ”

Wang Xi was a little surprised and said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Chang Ke snorted coldly and said, "I know you too well." If you're not sure, can you laugh so happily? ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Xi couldn't help laughing, thinking that this cousin knew her worthwhile, but she still took her to the outside of the flower hall, "You don't have to accompany Mrs. Tai today, let's do something interesting, right?" How about pitching pots? Or is it playing chess? ”

She wants to make Chang Ke happy, and is ready to play the game that Chang Ke is good at to please her.

Chang Ke was still not at ease, but he had to accept Wang Xi's kindness, and followed her words and talked about his favorite game.

This summer rain is big and small, it has been raining for several days, and when the rain stops, the weather is obviously hot, and there is a feeling of hot summer, and the ladies of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion have also come to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion to pay homage to Mrs. Xiangyang Hou.

The elders do not need to participate in the birthday of the juniors, and if the elders are there, they can't do a big deal.

But Mrs. Xiangyang Hou's birthday was helped by Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu, and Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu specially invited Mrs. Yongcheng Hou Mansion to come over, and the ladies of Yongcheng Houfu went to Xiangyang Houfu.

The Xiangyang Hou Mansion lives in Dashi Yongfang, not far from the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and it takes only three quarters of an hour to take a carriage over.

The ladies of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion got out of the carriage, and the personal grandmother of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion received them with a smile.

Mrs. Tai and the others were puzzled but didn't say anything, only Chang Ning glanced at Wang Xi and shouted disregardlessly: "What does Xiangyang Houfu mean?" When our family came to pay their respects to their wives, even our grandmothers came, so they sent a grandmother to greet us? Is their family going to turn against our family? ”
