Chapter 106: Going to the Feast
Wen Wan didn't say anything, she didn't know if the purpose of Qing Yuan telling her this was whether the Qian family was selling miserably or the Qian family was taking the opportunity to beat her.
Indeed, she was neither ruthless nor loyal to the Qian family, and the only one or two forbearance and compromise were also annihilated with the Qian family's captivity. Now the new emperor is doing his emperor well, and she takes her baby well, like two parallel lines that never intersect. The temptation is too great!
If she didn't know some heavenly secrets, and she was afraid that if the Qian family was defeated, Emperor Jingtai's new hatred and old hatred would be liquidated together, and she wouldn't even want to give the money to the Qian family now.
Three thousand taels of capital was exchanged for her 500,000 taels of silver in just five years, and the loan sharks were not as ruthless as her! She doesn't have leeches that she can suck!
At the beginning, he was unbrigged and bragged, and he took her silver taels cheaply, but now he can only be slaughtered like meat on the cutting board. Sometimes she can't help but want to get a bag of medicine to poison her and ruin the contract, anyway, Emperor Jingtai and his daughter-in-law are happy!
"You're not just here for a full meal, are you?" Wen Wan laid out the rice paper, picked up the pen and re-drawn.
Qingyuan stuffed a mouthful of meat and replied vaguely: "Niangniang said that she has been short of money recently, so you should make up 100,000 taels for her in a hurry." ”
Wen Wan: Lao Tzu sprayed you with a mouthful of salt soda! This is bloodsucking, and I am used to sucking the excuse and don't bother to think about it! I don't want to get used to your stinky problem!
"Nope! Business has not been doing well recently, and the shopkeepers' wages last year have not been paid until now! I'm poor, I'm poor! I really don't have any money! Wen Wan was angry, so she simply stopped writing and concentrated on crying poorly.
Qing Yuan didn't raise his head, and quickly eliminated the three bowls of rice and the sauce elbow with tender skin and crispy meat: "Don't pretend, Commander Song said that your Longfeng Zhai has dozens of branches, and business is booming. ”
Wen Wan: Song Yunzhi, your uncle!
When the green duck was sent away, Wen Wan was still lying on the bed scratching her heart and liver, not to mention taking away her 100,000 taels, not even her newly made clothes, shoes and socks, snacks, snacks, and bacon dishes! Ho, when she left, the burden was money, and those who didn't know thought she had gone back to her parents' house!
"A-Yuan, I have a very mature idea, come and listen to it, come on!" Wen Wan pouted her ass and put her head into the quilt and whispered.
Lin Yuan, who was so busy reading the accounts that his feet didn't touch the ground, had to sigh and put half of his body into the quilt: "Release." ”
Gentility:...... Stinky men are boring!
"I think we just don't do anything and help those two people raise troops to rebel first, and when the two factions of them fight to the death, we will profit again, and they will raise their own banner to ascend the throne and become the emperor, how do you feel?" He said this very softly, but the light in his eyes was as bright as a star.
In this way, she is the queen, the queen mother! Instantly walked to the pinnacle of life, became Bai Fumei, married the CEO, Meizizi, Meizizi!
Lin Yuan knew that she was distressed about the hard-won silver, and he was also happy to coax her in a small voice: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities to spoil and has many concubines to spoil him, and he will be assassinated and rebelled every now and then, not to mention that if there is a natural disaster or a military disaster, then he will be worried." ”
Wen Wan pushed him away and deflated: "Can't you abolish the harem and commute on time?" ”
Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled silently, his eyes were full of jokes: "That's not good, that's a faint monarch, and he is going to die in the country!" ”
Wen Wan fell on the bed in frustration: "The emperor is really troublesome, it's really difficult for them to grab and grab their heads." ”
Lin Yuan helped her cover the quilt and kissed her gently, picked up the pen again and carefully settled the accounts: "No, we are all alone in the fight, how can we have a free life?" ”
Wen Wan looked at the straight and wide back in the dim light and curled the corners of her lips, indeed she didn't have the ambition to be the king, just live a leisurely life without worrying about food and clothing.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Yuan and his family prepared a generous gift and took the child to congratulate the second brother-in-law Cao Jingzhong on his promotion. In only five years, Cao's brother-in-law has been promoted from the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry to the third grade, which is considered to be a two-level jump, and the sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher.
At this time, there were already many officials and rich people who came to congratulate in the Cao Mansion, and the ladies were also lively and chatting and laughing in the flower hall in the backyard. Lin Yuan and Wen Wanbing were divided into two ends and went to socialize.
Wen Lan was already accompanied by a smile in the flower hall, and the maid beside her was busy ordering tea and serving, shuttling through the backyard from time to time to put a plate of melons and fruits and refreshments.
"Oops, so luxurious! This is? Mrs. Xing, in the middle of the flower hall, looked at Wen Lan in surprise, and in front of her was a red sandalwood box carved with colored lacquer.
The ladies sitting at the table also marveled at the beautiful rosewood box, whispered and whispered.
"I heard that Sister Xing believes in Buddhism, so my sister took the initiative to invite an antique Guanyin to give to you, I hope you will accept it." Wen Lan smiled gracefully and gently pushed the red sandalwood box in front of Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Industry laughed wildly: "Lord Cao's promotion, it should be that we give gifts, how can we be anti-guest-oriented?" ”
Wen Lan pinched the pink handkerchief and stood up, and smiled to remove the lid of the box: "If there is no promotion from Lord Shilang, how can there be my master today?" You are graceful and luxurious, and you are the protagonist wherever you go. After a while, we'll all have to call you Mrs. Shangshu, right? ”
Mrs. Xing patted her hand and smiled with satisfaction: "You, you are sweet-mouthed!" There is no more clever woman in this capital than you. ”
She wanted to boast again, but she glanced sideways, but she was stunned on the spot at the same time as Wen Lan. I saw that the bronze gilt Guanyin statue with kind eyebrows and lifelike eyes actually fell out of a hand, which could be dropped into the tea cup in front of Mrs. Xing, splashing water.
The ladies of the flower hall suddenly stopped in embarrassment, and couldn't laugh anymore, and the flower hall that was still lively was silent for a while. Mrs. Xing's face was already sinking like water, gritting her teeth, and it was not embarrassing for a person who believed in Buddhism to be poured down with a basin of cold water like this. She couldn't help it anymore, she wanted to brush her sleeves away, but she didn't want to be snatched away by Wen Wan.
"The years are safe, this lady is really a good person, the Bodhisattva has helped you prevent disasters." She turned sideways to greet the ladies and helped Mrs. Xing back to her seat.
Mrs. Xing's face was three points better, and she only turned sideways and said nothing.
Wen Wan smiled and served Mrs. Xing hot tea again, and then sat down in a remote place, before saying: "The Bodhisattva has no appearance, Guanyin is the three thousand incarnations, and it has long ceased to eat the fireworks of the world, and there is no need for the world to worship." Now he has appeared as a saint to prevent disasters for his wife, which shows his wife's devotion to believe in Buddhism and the blessing of the Bodhisattva to his wife. ”
Mrs. Xing laughed at this time: "The years are safe, the years are safe, this lady is this?" ”
If you hold on to it and touch your brows, won't you be able to get along with yourself?
Wen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly apologized to Mrs. Xing before smiling: "My mother's sister, now she is doing some small business in Beijing with her husband. ”
The flower hall is as lively as ever, and the laughter is loud. All the ladies also looked at Wen Wan, the merchant woman in the market.
Mrs. Xing took off the jade bracelet on her hand and put it in Wen Wan's hand: "I see that you are wearing a silk skirt, which is a grade match with my mutton fat jade bracelet." ”
Gently and generously accepted it, and thanked him with a smile. After following Wen Lan to bow in a circle, Wen Wan also got a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
