Chapter 114 The Face of the First Wife



Because before, when the shopkeepers of the two restaurants brought their staff to the Xia family to apologize, they also made a big fuss, and there were many idle people who followed to watch the fun.

As for what Xia Erlang said, "I went to the Huaishu Niangniang Temple to complain about my grievances" and promised to go to the Huaishu Niangniang Temple to fulfill my vow, naturally many people heard it.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the miracle they witnessed again so quickly.

For a time, the Huaishu Niangniang Temple in Beiguan Town became famous and popular again.

The owners behind the two restaurants also deeply admire their opponents this time.

After all, he had stationed a lot of people inside and outside the restaurant, and had laid a tight net.

Not to mention who it is, even if a fly wants to fly over, he has to ask his subordinates whether they agree or not.

But he never expected that the bloody scarlet words that had been impossible to scrub off would actually vanish out of thin air. And the lingering stench in the restaurant would also dissipate so quickly, even transforming into a faint aroma.

Could it be that this Sophora japonica lady is so powerful?

But why didn't the locust tree goddess appear earlier or later, but appeared just when he was dealing with the Xia family?

If Lady Sophora japonica was really that powerful, shouldn't she have taken him away long ago and made him into fertilizer after he had done so many bad things before?

The restaurant owner was startled by this vague idea and spat a few times in a hurry.

No, it can't be the Locust Tree Lady.

This must be a trick of the Xia family.

It's a pity that I can't figure out how they did it no matter how hard I tried.

It's strange that I, with my sharp eyes, can't see through the tricks used by a family of peasants!

They had weathered all the storms, but they had fallen flat on their face at the hands of a simple peasant family, capsizing in the gutter. The owners of the two restaurants were deeply ashamed of this.

However, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

There is no need to rush to get back the debt.

There is still a long way to go. One day, everything that is owed to me will be repaid, and everything that has been eaten from me will be spit out!

While the owner of the restaurant was swearing a vicious oath, Xia Erlang couldn't help but fall into new trouble.

Now that they had recovered the silver, the Xia family decided to end the deal.

In the future, we will naturally no longer continue to do business with the disreputable "Shenxianzui" and "Furongju", and of course we will no longer supply them with pickles.

This business matter should be settled amicably.

The legends in the town gradually died down.

But the Xia family's life became very turbulent.

When the owners of the two restaurants came to deliver the money, many people in Beiguan Village saw it.

The fact that the Xia family had made so much money quietly was enough to attract attention.

What's more, it is tied to a strange story with a supernatural color.

Leaving aside others, both Wang Lizheng and Feng Juren were very interested in the inside story of this strange story.

At the same time, they and their families were extremely curious about what the pickles that could sell for so much silver tasted like.

The Xia family had no choice but to send a few jars of pickles to the homes of Wang Lizheng and Feng Juren, and politely invited them to try them.

I also specially selected the exquisite and beautiful small jars that hold one pound of food. They are both beautiful and easy to divide.

In fact, these minor troubles are nothing.

The real problem came from within the Xia family. Several branches of the Xia family were in a state of commotion and quarreling.

Seeing how much money the Fourth House had earned, the heads of the other houses all felt somewhat unhappy. The heads of the First and Second Houses were especially excited.

After hearing the news, the eldest wife rushed over from the town.

Originally, Liu was happily busy preparing for Jinhua's marriage and didn't want to come here at first.

She knew that since the old couple had not asked the eldest wife to participate in this business from the beginning, they did not intend to give the eldest wife a share of the profits.

Since the old couple has no such plan, it would be a wasted trip if I went there myself.

Xia Youcai, on the other hand, knew what she was thinking. His round, white, plump face was filled with smiles, and he teased her deliberately:

"This matter is not only for money, but also for the reputation of our eldest wife.

How can Jinhua arrange such a perfect marriage without informing our parents of the good news?

I really can't spare the time right now, so I'll have to trouble you to make the trip."

Liu received Xia Youcai's compliments and knew what he had been busy with recently. In addition, she had long wanted to show off Jinhua's marriage to her sisters-in-law, so she agreed.

Liu was very clear in her mind that whether she could get the money after this trip, the answer was most likely failure.

But Jinhua's marriage must be told to the other families.

Especially the second, third and fourth bedrooms!

The reason why it was given to the second wife was because the couple, especially Mrs. Sun, always liked to secretly compare themselves with the first wife.

Don’t you even look at how shabby she looks? How can she be compared to you?

His own son was a very outstanding student at Songxi Academy and had already passed the examination to become a scholar. If it weren't for the teacher's pressure, allowing Dalang to study and gain more experience for a few years, he would have been admitted to the school long ago!

Who knows, if the teacher had allowed Dalang to continue taking the exam, Dalang would have become a successful candidate in the imperial examination by now!

In fact, this was because Liu did not understand the imperial examination.

She only knew that her son had passed the examination for the title of scholar and the next step would be to take the examination for the title of juren.

However, they did not know that in the Great Chu Dynasty, it was easy to go from a student to a scholar, but to go from a scholar to a juren, one had to go through two large-scale national examinations.

Besides being proud of her son every day, Liu would find fault with her daughter-in-law Zhu, complaining that she didn't give her a grandson as a first child. Occasionally, she would hug her granddaughter A Liu...

The most concerning thing is Jinhua's marriage.

Liu always felt that Jinhua was the most outstanding granddaughter of the Xia family and should marry the best.

Not only did she have to surpass her two aunts, but she also had to surpass her cousins from the next room.

Xia Yujiao is the same age as Jinhua, but she has never been married and even broke off the engagement with the Xie family, so there is no need to consider her.

Xia Xuejiao married into a well-off businessman family in town.

Therefore, when Liu was looking for a husband for Jinhua, she targeted the richest families in Beiguan Town.

However, because of the incident in which Xia Daohua fell and almost died, Liu was unable to establish a relationship with Feng Ju's family, and naturally had no chance to get to know many wealthy families.

Furthermore, the fact that "Yinhua may be the culprit that caused Daohua to fall" has also caused a certain degree of negative impact on Jinhua's reputation.

Therefore, all the wealthy families that Liu originally wanted to marry into all gave up on Jinhua.
