Text Chapter 217: The lady of the Wang family
"How could it not be? How do you women who only know how to guard the palm-sized land in the inner courtyard all day long, and fight for the wind and are jealous, know that which of the things that the prince of Ningguo Mansion wants to do, is halfway and returned in vain? ”
Jiang Xiutong's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "The master is saying that the prince ...... to her."
Qiao Chuan said: "For my husband, I can tell you, if you know something, keep it in your heart, don't talk around with your mouth open." If you have the opportunity, you can persuade your sister-in-law, as well as the seven girls who don't stop, even if you can't pull your face down to flatter and flatter, you have to hide far away, and don't dangle in front of others. ”
Jiang Xiutong thought for a while and said: "But what happened back then, I heard that there was always a gap in people's hearts, I heard that when this person just returned to the capital, he moved a new grave for the girl who hanged herself, and added incense to worship, I am afraid that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will ...... their family."
Qiao Chuan said: "You don't have to think much about this, for the husband to see this Miss Wu is quite affectionate, if you want to say that you Xichang Bofu, it is naturally not a good impression, but she is not the kind of person who cares about everything and will repay her, as long as the people of your Bofu no longer provoke her, she will not deliberately embarrass her." ”
Jiang Xiutong sighed and said, "What's the use of talking about this now, Mingyu's girl is still locked up in the prison and doesn't know about it......"
Qiao Chuan snorted coldly and scolded: "You can't grow a head and a snack, just before leaving the house, what Miss Wu said, you didn't care?" ”
Jiang Xiutong was overjoyed and said: "I think there is such a meaning in her words, but I am not sure, the master is saying, she really responded?" ”
Qiao Chuan sighed and said: "This time, even if the seven girls have a big life, after you go back, you will notify your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come and lead the people, in addition, you have remembered what I just told you, and if you have the opportunity, you will persuade them more, so as not to cause trouble again when the time comes, and it will be too late to regret it." ”
On Yi'er's side, although she finally made a statement in front of Qiao Chuan and his wife, it didn't mean that she forgave Jiang Mingyu or softened her heart or anything, she did this purely to give Qiao Chuan face.
After sending off Qiao Chuan and his wife, Yingu came up with a new tea, handed it to Yi'er and said, "In the past, Miss would practice a few words at this hour, but today you have to practice your hands?" ”
Yi'er ate tea and said: "It's okay, I was busy moving a few days ago, and now I have to do a family banquet to do, and I haven't practiced calligraphy for a while, so let's be lazy today and write a few words." ”
So a few girls hurriedly cleaned up the desk, spread paper and grind ink, Yi'er took the big wolf hair handed by Yingu, dipped in ink, and was about to start writing, when a little girl came in and said: "Miss Hui, there is a woman outside the door who claims to be Wang Xi who asks to see Miss!" ”
"Wang Xi?" Yi'er read it again, but some of them didn't come back to their senses.
Qing Li asked, "Didn't you submit a prayer post?" ”
The little girl shook her head and said, "I guess I made the money and asked the porter to come in and say back, but there is no post." Oh, by the way, the porter also said that the woman said she was from North Kaesong. ”
Yi'er reacted at this time, this Wang Xi was the Wang lady of the Wang family shop in Beikaicheng that day. Because the prefect wanted to make autumn clothes for the people, it was handed over to the Wang family shop, but at that time, this Wang Niangzi encountered difficulties, not only the Wang family shop could not continue, but even her husband had a broken leg and had no money for treatment, at that time Yi'er took five hundred taels of silver out, and originally only said that he wanted to be half with Wang Niangzi, and occupied the shares of the Wang family's shop, but Wang Niangzi finally gave Yi'er eight layers of shares when the official government made documents, and he only accounted for two layers.
Later, after a few years of operation, Wang's shop went smoothly and developed to a good level, when Yier left Beikai, he was afraid that the opportunity to return to Beikai in the future was very rare, so he gave the eight-layer shares of the shop to Wang Niangzi, and only got back the five hundred taels of silver injected that year.
I thought that this matter could be regarded as having a beginning and an end, but I didn't expect that today, so suddenly, this Wang Niangzi also came to the capital, and also found the eldest princess's mansion.
Speaking of which, the last time Yi'er and this Wang Niangzi met was at the end of last year, more than half a year has passed, Wang Niangzi's color has not changed much, just a melancholy face, there is a trace of urgency in her eyes, until she saw Yi'er again, this is especially arrogant and relieved, and her face unconsciously stretched, showing a smile.
Yi'er greeted her in person, and Wang Niangzi was about to salute, but she was stopped by Yi'er and said, "You and I are not outsiders, why should the lady do these false gifts with me?" ”
Wang Niangzi said with a smile: "Now that I see that Miss is safe and sound, the slave family is relieved." ”
Yi'er was stunned and said, "The lady came all the way to the capital, isn't it for me?" ”
Wang Niangzi Shanshan smiled and said: "I also know that Miss is lucky, and she will be able to turn evil into good fortune, and she will be auspicious in trouble. ”
But it turned out that after the incident in the Qingxiang Hou Mansion that day, after the news that Yi'er was driven out of the Hou Mansion and disappeared reached Beikai, Wang Niangzi and her husband Liu Gang were in a hurry. The couple and the couple were rescued by Yi'er to get through that difficulty, especially Liu Gang, one leg was saved thanks to Yi'er's five hundred taels of silver. The two of them were grateful for Yi'er's great kindness that day, so after hearing that Yi'er had suffered a disaster, the two of them discussed it for a while, and finally resolutely put the Wang family shop out, but the time was in a hurry, and the price of the store was much lower.
It's just that Yi'er was taken out of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion by Jiang You at that time, and her whereabouts are unknown, and the couple asked around to no avail, and in the end they could only stay outside the Ningguo Mansion. Although the two were anxious, they were helpless, until the eldest princess was going to hold a family banquet in the fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the news of the granddaughter came out, they also inadvertently learned yesterday that the eldest princess was pretending to be Miss Qingxiang Houfu, and Yi'er who was driven out by the Hou Mansion not long ago, and the couple were anxious to find it.
Originally, this Wang Niangzi was still a little worried, afraid that this rumor was wrong, afraid that the eldest princess's mansion was not Yi'er, but now that she has seen a real person, her heart can be regarded as falling to the ground.
Yi'er listened to Wang Niangzi's narration, moved in her heart, got up, and bowed deeply to Wang Niangzi, which frightened Wang Niangzi by surprise, hurriedly got up, and bowed back: "What is Miss doing, where can the slave family receive such a big gift from Miss?" ”
Yi'er said: "The lady and her husband can do such a thing for the sake of the little girl, so righteous, but how can the little girl be repaid?" ”
Wang Niangzi said: "Look at what Miss said, if it wasn't for Miss to help back then, where would we be where we are today?" As he spoke, he took out an embroidery bag from his arms and handed it to Yi'er, and said, "Here is a little savings from the past few years with our couple after the shop went out, and the slave family knows that it is a little less, but it is better than nothing, thinking that maybe the young lady can use it now." ”
Yi'er tore open the embroidery bag, and inside was a silver ticket of eight hundred taels of Dashun Qianzhuang, Yi'er was slightly moved, and said: "Lady, this is to give me all your net worth, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”
Wang Niangzi smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "At that time, I just thought that Miss was in trouble, although the slave family husband and wife were weak, but they also had to come over and do their best, it was good to be able to help Miss, even if they couldn't help, let Miss know the idea of our couple, we were also content, we really didn't have any plans at that time, and now Miss asked, to ask the slave family." ”
Yi'er said: "You are the husband and wife who entered Beijing together, so where is your husband and eldest brother of the Liu family now?" ”
Wang Niangzi said: "He came here with the slave family, but he is a rough man, and it is not easy to come into the house to greet the young lady, so the slave family let him wait outside the house." ”
Yi'er instructed Qingli and said, "You go, take the eldest brother of the Liu family into Juan Fangzhai." I guess it's time to come back after spilling tears to find Lou Da's shopkeeper, if you see it, don't go back, bring them in together. ”
Qing Li took the order and went away.
Yi'er let Yinggu serve another cup of tea, and said: "The lady is from the capital of Beikaicheng, I want to ask the lady again, do you and your wife still want to go back to Beikaicheng?" ”
Wang Niangzi thought for a while and said, "Miss Bu said that after the slave family's shop was released, the slave family and the husband and wife had no basic property in Beikaicheng, and now there is actually no difference whether they go back or not." ”
Yi'er nodded, and said, "Then I'll ask the lady again, does the lady want to open another embroidery shop in this capital?" ”
Wang Niangzi was stunned for a moment and said: "Open an embroidery building in the capital? This slave family has thought about it, but where can it be as simple as opening a shop in Beijing as Beikaicheng, the slave family has heard that the house here is very expensive, and there are few belongings that can never be opened. ”
Yi'er said with a smile: "The lady has thought about it, then we will decide, and then we will open an embroidery building together, and the lady will use the eight hundred taels of silver as shares. ”
Wang Niangzi was surprised and delighted, and blurted out: "This is the first time that the slave family in the capital has come back, but these days the slave family and the couple have also looked around, and the slave family understands in their hearts, with this bit of silver, where can they afford to open half an embroidery building?" The slave family knew that the young lady was going to bring the slave couple with him, but this person was half, and the idea of dividing five or five was absolutely unacceptable. ”
Yi'er said: "These are all trivial things, we will discuss slowly in the future, the key is that the lady and his wife are willing to stay, to be honest, I also wanted to open an embroidery building, but I have not found a suitable shopkeeper lady, the lady is here, but it couldn't be better." ”
