Chapter 139: Sister is not bad for money
Mrs. Zhou wants to recognize Chun Tao as a righteous daughter? Zheng couldn't react in a daze, and always felt that he had misheard.
Righteous daughter, let Wen Xuan grow up with her? Lan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a big smile, she thought that in this situation, it would be difficult for Wen Xuan to follow her, but she didn't expect such a turnaround. Mrs. Zhou couldn't ask for help from the third room, and she also knew that the second room was unreliable, she was Wenxuan's own grandmother, so she naturally thought about how to treat the child better, so she made such a plan.
After crossing over, her relatives gradually increased, first Wen Xuan and Yu'er, then Xia Wan recognized sisters, and Second Uncle Wang's family, and then recognized Lei Tianze as a brother-in-law, and now she has found Chun Tao's biological parents and brother, and now Mrs. Zhou is going to recognize her as her goddaughter again, and her connection with this world is becoming more and more.
Seeing the similar faces of the mother and daughter showing diametrically opposite expressions, Mrs. Zhou naturally knew what they were thinking, and felt a little warm in her heart, but fortunately they were there.
"Old lady, how can this make ......" Zheng knelt down in fear.
Mrs. Zhou motioned to Mrs. Zhou to pull the Zheng family up: "Chengde's family, you understand the situation of the big house without me, now my mother's family can't count on it, and the Yao family is from that background, and there is no one to entrust around." I have naturally known the character of your family for so many years, and I can absolutely trust it. ”
"Old lady, the big house is as kind to our family, we are just doing our duty." Zheng wiped his tears, "Now only if you take care of your body and bones, can Young Master Wenxuan really have something to rely on." ”
The old lady turned her eyes to look at her grandson, who was ignorant of the world, and her eyes were full of love, "Mother Zhou, you go and call Chengde over." ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, Mrs. Zhou had just told the Zheng family about this, and immediately called Wang Chengde, she was in a hurry to settle this matter, she knew what the old lady was afraid of, and she was anxious in her heart.
"Chun Tao, are you willing?"
Mrs. Zhou has watched her interaction with her two children in the past few days, and naturally knows that Chun Tao treats the children sincerely, although she didn't say much in front of her, but this calm and stable leftist is very reassuring. Entrusting Wenxuan to her was also a last resort.
Lan Yi raised her head, seeing the inquiry and scrutiny in Old Madam Zhou's eyes, she looked straight back, and said firmly: "Old Madam, I have long regarded Wen Xuan as my biological son, and it is my duty to take care of him when he grows up. ”
She didn't call herself Chun Tao, she didn't call Wen Xuan "young master", and Mrs. Zhou smiled when she heard it. That's what she wants.
After Wang Chengde came in, Mrs. Zhou expressed her thoughts. Wang Chengde was also stunned, and then understood what the old lady meant, compared to the Zheng family, he thought more about it.
"Old lady, although there is no serious male protagonist in the big house, but Young Master Wenxuan still has uncles, grandfathers and cousins, even for the sake of fame and face, they are afraid that they will not agree."
Old Madam Zhou nodded, "I know, so I want to recognize Chun Tao first, and then find a good family affair for her, preferably from the Wang clan, I remember that Chun Tao's family affair has not been set yet, right?" ”
Lan Yi frowned, and a faint displeasure rose in her heart. However, from Mrs. Zhou's point of view, it seems that there is nothing to blame, she recognized herself as her goddaughter, and then found a good family for herself, but did not mention that Wang Chengde and his wife were taken off from slavery, which was both grace and power, and held herself in her hands.
Wang Chengde didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to plan like this. Indeed, it was a good idea to give Chun Tao to the side branches of the Wang family, and then she would take care of Wen Xuan. According to his understanding of Mrs. Zhou, she is afraid that she already has a candidate.
Zheng was also a little anxious, her daughter's family affairs had indeed not been decided, but she didn't want to delay her daughter's happiness in her life for the sake of Young Master Wenxuan's affairs, she glanced at her husband from the corner of her eye, and saw that his face was calm and her heart gradually settled down. Although the husband is faithful to the Lord, he will not agree to put his daughter at the top of his heart.
Wang Chengde arched his hand, "Old lady, Chuntao's family affair and her mother have already been booked for her." ”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, but she didn't expect that only a few days after Chun Tao came back, Wang Chengde had already booked a family affair for her, "Which one did you order?" ”
Lan Yi also clenched her fists, how could she not know?
Wang Chengde said calmly: "It's me who fell in love with the other party's character, he is not a local, and the old lady doesn't recognize it, so I will wait for him to come over and kowtow to the old lady after the marriage." ”
Whether it's true or not, since Wang Chengde has already planned for her daughter's family affairs, she is not easy to interfere with. Mrs. Zhou continued: "Chengde, how are the shops that Ziyuan is running outside? ”
After these three shops were found by Wang Mingli, he had already sued Wang Tiangui, Wang Tiangui went to the old lady to make trouble a few times, and the old lady Zhou knew that there were still such three shops.
Wang Chengde replied directly: "Back to the old lady, the shopkeeper of the three shops has kowtowed to Young Master Wenxuan, and the account book has also been handed over, please take a look at the old lady." ”
Wang Chengde brought the account book with him when he entered the mansion today, and he wanted to take the opportunity to explain this matter clearly, but since Mrs. Zhou took the initiative to mention it, he naturally told him bluntly.
Mrs. Zhou took the three account books and put them on the table, and Mrs. Zhou roughly flipped through them and closed them, "These three shops must have been given to the Yao family by Ziyuan, and when the Yao family is gone, it is Wenxuan's thing, and I can rest assured that you take care of him for him." ”
What kind of temper does her son have as a mother, she naturally understands that she is a little angry when she thinks of this, but then she sighs again, these are all over, what do you care about, the most important thing now is to take care of Wenxuan.
"Don't blame you, old lady. These three shops are under the hands of the second master of the Zhang family on the surface, so it is not good to enter the Wang family to kowtow to you before going to the villain to meet the young master. ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, Zhang Pingyu is good friends with her son, this child is cold and warm-hearted, and he is worth believing.
"After the first seven, you prepare a gift to accompany Wenxuan to Zhang's house to visit, and the number of etiquette must be sufficient."
Zhang Pingyu sent Wen Xuan jade pendant, the meaning was very obvious, and Wang Chengde nodded yes.
"Tomorrow, I will invite someone to come over to watch the ceremony and officially recognize the spring peach. You will pass a few Zhuangzi in my hands to the name of Chun Tao, and it will be easy to manage in the future. ”
Although the big house has been in deficit in recent years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Mrs. Zhou still has some family background. Since she asked Chun Tao to take care of Wen Xuan, she naturally would not be stingy.
Before Wang Chengde could speak, Lan Yi stood up and said, "Old lady, I can't accept this Zhuangzi." ”
Old Madam Zhou looked at Lan Yi, "Why?" ”
Lan Yi smiled lightly and said confidently: "Since I take Wen Xuan as my son, I will do my best to raise him." You are Wenxuan's grandmother, if you plan to supplement Wenxuan, you can directly record Zhuangzi in Wenxuan's name. ”
Zheng also nodded, but Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Chun Tao, I know that you are a pure-minded person, these Zhuangzi are considered the dowry I added to you, and you will have some confidence in marrying into your husband's family in the future." ”
Mrs. Zhou also persuaded: "This is the old lady's intention, don't shirk it." Besides, Chun Tao has more money in his hands so that he can take care of Young Master Wenxuan. ”
Although Wang Chengde is the housekeeper of the Wang family, he also has some family background, and the Zheng family has also been saving for his daughter's dowry. But in the past year or so, the father and son of the Wang family have already taken out almost their family funds in prison. Chun Tao will take Young Master Wen Xuan with him in the future, although Young Master Wen Xuan has the value of a big house and is indispensable for silver, but Chun Tao is his adoptive mother after all, and how can he get by. Mrs. Zhou's words stopped immediately, but Lan Yi understood it.
She no longer hid it at this time, since she wanted to raise Wen Xuan, she had to let Mrs. Zhou know that she was confident.
"Don't hide it from the old lady, for more than a year, I have also done some small business with people in Huang County and made some silver. You can rest assured that Winshare will not have less. ”
Old Madam Zhou was stunned, Lan Yi's tone was not small.
Wang Chengde knew about what his daughter was doing in Huang County, and he also showed a proud expression at this time.
Lan Yi didn't have everyone's appetite, and continued: "I mentioned to the old lady that I raised some chickens and ducks in Beigou Village and opened a barren mountain to grow peonies, and in addition, I also partnered with others to do some business. Have you ever heard of the shops in Castle Peak? ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, although she was also sick in the inner house, but after all, the Wang family was a businessman in this county, and she naturally knew that the peony seed oil in the Qingshan shop in Huangxian County was selling well.
"I heard that the Qingshan shop is a newly opened business of the Xia family in Huang County."
Lan Yi smiled, and then said: "However, on the surface, it is in the name of the Xia family, but in fact, the Qingshan shop was built by me and Xia Chongxiao, the eldest young master of the Xia family, and I have a few percent of the shares in it." Although the shop in Castle Peak has just started, we are going to make some money this year. ”
The old lady knew that she was talking politely, how profitable is the peony seed oil in the Qingshan shop, and everyone with a discerning eye is looking at it, since Chun Tao accounts for a few percent of the shares, how can there be thousands of taels of silver in the account a year. Moreover, since the shop has become famous, it will be much easier to operate in the future.
No wonder she said that Wenxuan should have no less, she does have such confidence. Now it also shows that Chun Tao wants to adopt Wen Xuan and is not greedy for the Wang family's wealth, and Mrs. Zhou is more at ease with her.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Zhou smiled and said, "The Lan family calculated that Wenxuan would meet nobles when he went north, and he would turn evil into good fortune. Chun Tao, you are the nobleman of the Wang family and the nobleman of Wenxuan. ”
Lan Yi thought of Wang Chengde telling her that the noble person who came from "thousands of miles away" calculated by the Lan family was not from thousands of miles away.
This Lan family is really capable.
When Wang Chengde heard about the Lan family, his face was slightly condensed: "Old lady, what do we have to do with the Lan family?" ”
Old Madam Zhou frowned, "We have been with the Lan family for so many years, it can be said that we have entered the water and not violated the river, the relationship is not far or close, and the fourth master of the Lan family is also a good student when the uncle is alive, and there is no holiday, why does Chengde ask so?" ”
"It's to investigate and deal with some clues, and then look at the old lady when you have eyebrows."
Old Madam Zhou nodded, Wang Chengde was cautious, since he said it, he was a little sure.
Lan Yi listened to her father's words, and remembered the solemn expression when Dao Wufeng and Wang Chunrong talked last night, could it be that they tracked down the night detective and traced it to the Lan family? R1152
