Chapter 27: Dignitaries

Although Wei Shuzhen was born in the Hou Wei family of Yunyang, she is a side daughter, and she is not treated by her father and stepmother at home. When socializing among the ladies in the capital, she rarely shows up. At the beginning, when she was in the boudoir, the girls in the mansion of the eldest lady, although they were her cousins, but where did those sisters fancy her?

It's different now. Since she married into the Qin family, after being entrusted by her eldest sister-in-law to entertain the ladies of various families, her status has suddenly become noble. is that the sisters who were born in the Wei family, and even the aunts who married into wealthy families, all vied with each other to befriend her.

The dignity of the identity, the increase in communication, although busy every day, Wei Shuzhen is still very happy.

Mrs. Zeng asked her to help manage the Guogong Mansion, and did not let her be busy in vain, Mrs. Zeng taught her how to do business hand-in-hand, supported her, she took care of her own business, and at the same time took care of the industrial business assigned to her husband, and also relied on the big trees of the Guogong Mansion and the Guoshi Mansion, which became more and more smooth, and now the two of them have accumulated rich wealth. Forget about her own business alone, Sister Guoshi is even more kind to them, every time she auctions her own property, she will notify herself in advance, give herself time to raise money, so that she can buy the formula of a province.

Of course, at that time, she didn't have the ability to buy it alone, so under the reminder of her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zeng, she discussed it with the Yunyang Hou Mansion, divided it fifty-fifty, and got the formula of the province where the Wei family was located. Over the years, the business of lacquerware and porcelain has been very good, as well as the business of beads and glass. Not only did the Yunyang Marquis Mansion make money softly, but he also became a huge rich.

Because of these, her weight in her mother's family has become more and more important. Not only did her father and stepmother treat her with respect, but even Mrs. Yunyang Hou also respected her everywhere.

In addition to these, what makes Wei Shuzhen happy is her husband's biological mother, Aunt Rong. At the beginning, Wei Shuzhen lived with Aunt Rong, for fear that her mother-in-law, who was born in this aunt, would give her mother-in-law's money. Then she really doesn't know what to do? If she is as respectful and serving as a mother-in-law, it is not in line with etiquette. Besides, in the mansion, Mrs. Yin is still there, and when the time comes, the rumors will spread to the mansion, aren't you and your husband not people inside and out?

If you don't respect Aunt Rong, will your husband be dissatisfied with herself, after all, she is her husband's biological mother.

These worries eventually came to naught. When the house was divided, Qin Guoliu asked his biological mother to live in the main courtyard behind the main house. At that time, although Wei Shuzhen felt that this was not good, she did not dare to say anything, to her surprise, Aunt Rong was resolutely unwilling to live in the main courtyard, she chose the small courtyard where she lives now, comfortable, exquisite, close to the garden, although it is good, but this was originally for the aunts of the original owner of the house. There will be no discord with etiquette. This made Wei Shuzhen breathe a sigh of relief, and she also had a good impression of Aunt Rong.

In the next few years, Aunt Rong guarded her aunt's duty everywhere, and never embarrassed or embarrassed Wei Shuzhen. When Wei Shuzhen is busy, Aunt Rong will help her take care of the house and help her take care of the children. Especially when Wei Shuzhen gave birth to a child, Aunt Rong took care of her every time, so that Wei Shuzhen had a good confinement, and even took care of the diseases left by not taking good care before she got married.

After all this, Wei Shuzhen began to sincerely accept Aunt Rong in her heart. The two of them get along very well.

It is precisely because of this that Aunt Rong came back early today, and Wei Shuzhen was very concerned and hurriedly came over to greet her.

Aunt Rong was also very happy to see Wei Shuzhen, and hurriedly pulled Wei Shuzhen over and said, "Just now I was at Sister Shui's place, and I met the third aunt and grandmother, and she proposed that after a while, it will be the first birthday of the county lord of Anfu." It's definitely going to be a big deal. Let's just give our own gifts, we should let Sister Shui and I each prepare a little gift to express our hearts. She also suggested that I make some small clothes for the county lord. I thought, can I make a cloak for the little princess? ”

It turned out that this was the case, Wei Shuzhen saw the materials, silk threads, and patterns spread out all over the bed and said, "This is all a good idea." The third sister is smart. My aunt's needlework is even better than the embroidery shop outside. We use the best materials, preferably with ingenious patterns, and the cloak is even more pleasing. ”

After speaking, Wei Shuzhen began to discuss with Aunt Rong what kind of pattern to use and what kind of silk thread to match.

The next day, when Wei Shuzhen went to the mansion, she inadvertently talked about it with Qin Guoyang's wife Yu Shuilian. After Yu Shuilian married into the Qin family, within two months, she was also separated from her husband. However, her house is even better. After all, her husband is a descendant, and he is the younger brother of the national teacher and the national prince's mother, so he is naturally the best in all aspects.

Qin Guoyang's house is next door to the Qin family's mansion, it is a big mansion with five entrances and three roads, the house is also very beautiful, the garden is also large, and there is a small lake, although it is not as big as Liguo Gong, but it is also a mansion in the capital.

In addition to the good house, the fields and shops allocated to Qin Guoyang are also good. Among them, there are six shops on West Avenue alone, and there are also six shops on East Street. There are two fields located in the south of the Yangtze River, and each Zhuangzi has more than 2,000 acres of land. In addition, there are many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and books. That's it. When they got married, Qin Mingyue also sent 100,000 taels of silver to them at once.

Yu Shuilian herself was born in the Yu family, a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to marry the Qin family, the Yu family attached great importance to it and gave her a rich dowry, all kinds of things, and the property added up to almost 100,000 taels of silver.

She has a lot of marriages, and her husband's property is also rich, although Yu Shuilian is a weak Jiangnan woman, she is still very strong in managing housework. Those properties are in her hands, and they have almost doubled in the past two years. Not to mention, she also did business with her own family in Jiangnan, relying on the way of the Qin family, and successfully sold the cotton cloth and southern goods produced by her mother's family to Jin Province, making a lot of profits, and every year this north and south shop alone can earn her sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver.

Yu Shuilian, like Wei Shuzhen, although they separated after getting married, after dealing with the things in their mansion every day, they still had to come to the mansion to help Zeng Yutong.

Therefore, every day, Yu Shuilian and Wei Shuzhen work together in the Qin family's hugging mansion to deal with housework.

Today, after the two of them took care of their own messes, they chatted while drinking tea.
