Chapter 2452: Drinking
The Wang sisters have a good relationship. After getting married, what they seem to miss most is the restrained yet free life of their youth.
Although they are not from the same family, they are of the same clan and live in Wangjia Lane. This family used to be next to that family, so they are very close.
The most important thing is that they studied together in the family school.
The small conflicts in youth seem insignificant after marriage, especially when family interests are involved.
No matter how much Wang Sanniang and Wang Wuniang disliked Wang Siniang or Wang Liuniang when they were young, they would stand united on this matter today.
Whether it is a divorce or something else, the Ma family must pay a heavy price for it. This is not only to protect Wang's dignity, but also to protect the interests of Wang's daughter.
Otherwise, if I let her off lightly this time, what if other husband's families follow suit in the future and think they don't have to pay the price for bullying Wang's daughter?
Thinking of this, Wang Wuniang couldn't help but blame her mother in her heart. She really couldn't understand what her mother was thinking when she sent her sixth sister back to the Ma family.
Because Zhou Man was there, Wang Wu Niang didn't want to talk about the matter in too much detail, so she smiled ingratiatingly at Mrs. Tang.
Madam Tang snorted coldly, then turned to Manbao and said, "Please pick out some more later. I saw a particularly well-made gold bracelet with twisted silk last time. Try it on and see if it fits you well."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wu Niang immediately said to Wang San Niang, "Third sister, quickly ask them to bring the things up. If Master Zhou likes them, I will also give him a set. Master Zhou will also take good care of my sixth sister in the future."
Manbao treated Wang Ruile for money, so why would she accept so many gifts? It was okay if it was given to her by Mrs. Tang, but she didn't dare to accept gifts from others, so Manbao politely declined.
Madam Tang held her hand and said, "Don't refuse Old Five. My Fifth Sister needs everything except money. She and Old Six are close cousins. What's wrong with giving you a set of jewelry?"
Wang Si Niang looked at Madam Tang, then at Wang Wu Niang, and laughed too, "That's right. We, who are several levels away from Sixth Sister, have heard that Lord Zhou is devoted to Sixth Sister and want to give you more gifts. Not to mention that Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister are so close, this is only natural."
Wang Wuniang nodded repeatedly and insisted that Manbao accept it.
Manbao looked at Mrs. Tang and nodded slightly.
Manbao, who accepted the bribe, was confused. How could she choose the cheaper one later?
As a result, Mrs. Tang did not give her the chance to choose. She just sat there and acted as a tool. Several trays of things were brought up, and Mrs. Tang chatted with them while constantly gesturing at Manbao with the jewelry, and directly decided on what she wanted.
They are all extremely beautifully crafted. Even though she is young, she definitely doesn't look old wearing these gold ornaments.
Madam Tang became happier the more she dressed up. She gently inserted a filigree golden phoenix hairpin into Manbao's hair, took a look at it, and said with a smile, "Not bad. Let them comb your hair later. You can wear this golden hairpin even when you go to the palace to attend banquets."
Wang Sanniang and the others were stunned, not knowing who the gold hairpin belonged to. This was originally intended by Wang Sanniang for Wang Ruile, and it was worth a lot.
Wang Ruile also thought it looked good.
Mrs. Tang took it down with a smile, handed it to the maid and placed it on a tray. She said, "Put it in a box and consider it a gift from me."
The girl agreed with a smile.
Manbao couldn't help but look at her with suspicion, "Xuesao, do you have something else to ask of me?"
"You're such a heartless little thing," Mrs. Tang tapped her forehead and said, "I saw how hard you've worked these past two months, so I bought this to reward you."
Mrs. Tang is not stupid. How could she not know how difficult it is for Zhou Man to take leave every now and then to see a private doctor in the imperial farm?
Tang He said that some officials in the court had even mentioned impeaching her in front of His Majesty.
Madam Tang looked at her and said, "You are not young anymore. Although pearl flowers are convenient and simple, you still need other jewelry to complement them occasionally."
Mrs. Tang carefully selected a gift for Zhou Man, and even assigned jewelry to the sisters. In the end, the maid behind Manbao held three large boxes.
Madam Tang checked the time and invited her, "It's getting late. Why don't you stay in the city tonight? I have a separate courtyard in Yongzhou. You can stay with me. As for Bai Shan and the others, they can stay at the inn."
Manbao was surprised, "You guys are still going to do it tonight?"
She said with a troubled look on her face: "This is not good, the secondary damage will easily hurt the bones. Even if the bones are not hurt, the flesh may be beaten to death. How about you wait for half a month before continuing?"
Wang Sanniang and others: ...
Mrs. Tang said angrily, "What are you thinking? Who said I was going to beat him?"
"But you remind me," Mrs. Tang said thoughtfully, "It's not close to Bingzhou from here. I don't want to wait until his injury heals. I have to find an opportunity to beat him up again when he's almost in Bingzhou."
Manbao turned around and said goodbye. Bingzhou was too far away and she couldn't help.
Mrs. Tang grabbed her and asked, "Aren't you going to pick up Bai Shan and the others?"
She didn't try to force them to stay. Seeing that they were determined to go back, she let them go.
The girl put the three large boxes on the carriage and then stepped aside to see them off.
Bai Shan drank quite a bit of wine, his face flushed. Lu San and the others sent him down, put their arms around his shoulders, patted his shoulders and invited him loudly, "Next time you go to the capital, please invite Brother Bai to have a drink at the Champion's House."
Bai Shan nodded with red eyes, and then was helped into the car while staggering.
Liu Huan and Bai Erlang were also drunk, except Yin Huo, who didn't drink a drop of alcohol.
Although Lu San and others were not from the capital, they had heard of Yin Huo's name and knew that he was in poor health, so no one dared to persuade him to drink.
There were three people in the car, but Manbao and Yin Huo did not get in, but rode away on horseback.
After leaving Yongzhou City, Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yin Huo curiously, "Why did Bai Shan drink so much?"
Yin Huo laughed: "He's trying to get answers, and to get answers he has to drink. You haven't seen Wang Wulang, he's already drunk."
"Oh, right. I didn't see Wang Wulang just now." Manbao was surprised. "His alcohol tolerance is not even as good as Bai Shan's?"
Yin Huo laughed and said, "He's unhappy, and Bai Shan is deliberately trying to get him to talk. He drinks one cup, and then he drinks three or four. Even the best drinker can't handle that kind of drinking. And it's not just Bai Shan who's trying to get him to drink. I think Wang Wulang's wives aren't good people either. They're also trying to get him to drink and get him to talk."
Manbao: "Aren't they in the same group? Why are you still trying to trick me?"
"It was only after arriving at the restaurant that Lu San and the other two realized they had come to Yongzhou to vent their anger on Wang Liuniang. They only knew that Ma Hongzhong had beaten Wang Liuniang, but they knew nothing else. That's why they forced them to drink and question them."
