Chapter 058: Natural Charm
Wen Ruyue looked at Wen Yan and smiled slightly.
Meng Chifei frowned immediately: "Why is she laughing at you? And her smile is so creepy.
He must be planning something bad again."
As Meng Chifei finished speaking, he saw Wen Ruyue come forward and help Rouer up.
Her face showed heartache, and she patted Rou'er's hand gently: "What a pitiful child. We are both women, how could I bear to abandon you."
"From now on, you will follow me. As long as I am here, I will never let you suffer again."
"Thank you, Boss. Rou'er will fight for you forever without hesitation." As she said this, she knelt at Wen Ruyue's feet and kowtowed three times.
Wen Ruyue gave him a look.
Her maid Zhuqing immediately stepped forward and helped Rouer up.
But when Rou'er stood up, her body staggered and she fainted on the ground.
"She fainted!" the onlookers exclaimed.
"Help her quickly into the private room to rest." Wen Ruyue ordered with a worried look on her face.
Two women came out of the crowd to help and quickly carried Rouer to the private room.
Wen Ruyue called the servant over again, gave him a purse, and asked him to buy a good coffin and bury Rouer's mother with great ceremony.
When everyone saw the bulging purse, they realized there was quite a bit of silver in it.
They all praised Wen Ruyue, saying that she was kind-hearted, generous and a good person.
Wen Ruyue looked as if she was unworthy of the honor and said, "I was just helping a bunch of poor people within my ability. I don't deserve your praise."
"Boss, you are too modest. I have decided that from now on, I will only use pens and ink from Miaobizhai." Someone shouted.
With him taking the lead, people followed suit and expressed their opinions one after another.
From now on, I will buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone from Miaobi Zhai.
As they talked, they rushed into the shop and began to pick out the goods.
In just a quarter of an hour, the shop had completed more than a dozen transactions.
It instantly brought the depressed shop back to life.
Wen Ruyue stood at the door of the shop, looking at the shop assistants busy restocking the goods, and a smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of her mouth.
Wen Yan, ah Wen Yan.
He wanted to bring bad luck to me on my big day and ruin the opening of my store.
I just said a few words and it was easily resolved.
Wen Yan, in this life I will not only take back the man and glory that belong to me, I will also take back all the wealth that belongs to me.
And you, just go back to your own track, be a widow peacefully, and become my tool to make money!
Wen Ruyue laughed wantonly and turned back to look at the second floor opposite.
But the place was already deserted.
The man took the purse and excitedly went to the best coffin shop nearby.
After entering the door, he shouted proudly: "Boss, give me a high-quality coffin."
A thin-skinned coffin costs about one or two taels of silver.
A medium-sized coffin costs three or four taels of silver.
A high-quality coffin would cost nearly ten taels of silver.
The boss specifically instructed him to buy a high-quality coffin, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey.
When the shopkeeper heard that a big business had come, he greeted them with special hospitality.
Following his introduction, the waiter bought some other funeral supplies in addition to the coffin.
The job of a waiter usually requires him to bow and scrape and rely on other people's faces to get his job. Now that he is suddenly praised by others, he suddenly feels a little elated.
Until the owner of the coffin shop wrote out the receipt and handed it to him.
He was about to pay, but when he opened his wallet, his face suddenly changed.
The coffin shop owner politely urged: "Young man, this money..."
The waiter coughed lightly and said calmly, "Please change the coffin for me to the cheapest thin-skinned one..."
Before he could finish his words, the shopkeeper's expression changed. "Are you deliberately trying to trick me? You pretended to be a big customer and asked me to give you a discount. Now that I've given you a discount, you want the cheapest thin-skin coffin..."
The guy's face also looked very ugly.
It's not that he is deliberately making trouble for others, it's just that his boss is not a human being.
When the purse was thrown to him, it was bulging and heavy. He didn't look closely at it at the time and thought there was a lot of silver in it.
It was enough for him to have a grand funeral, and maybe even have some money left over for running errands.
What's the result?
The bag is full of copper coins.
At most, I had two thousand coins, which was barely enough to buy a thin coffin, and I didn't even have enough to buy paper money.
This new owner.
He talks a lot of nice words but does things in a very ugly way.
After Wen Yan and Meng Chifei left the teahouse, they went to a famous restaurant in the capital for dinner.
The restaurant's business is very good.
If you want to eat here, you must make a reservation in advance.
But Meng Chifei doesn't need it.
The shopkeeper personally took her to the private room reserved for the owner.
Ordered a table full of signature dishes.
After dinner, the two of them strolled around the street for a while before heading towards Tianyi Cloth Shop.
After they took a walk downstairs, they were invited by the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor for receiving distinguished guests.
Someone recognized Wen Yan and Meng Chifei and said sarcastically, "As long as Meng Chifei is here, even if Wen Yan marries a beggar, she can still enjoy VIP treatment at Tianyi Cloth Shop."
"Wen Yan is so lucky. I wonder what Meng Chifei likes about her."
Wen Yan didn't hear those sour words, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.
After the two sat down in the private room, the waiter served tea and snacks.
Then I heard knocking on the wall from the next room.
"Come here." Wen Yan responded.
A movable wooden wall separating two rooms, pushed open from the middle.
The two small elegant rooms suddenly became a large open space.
In the private room opposite, a woman was sipping tea elegantly.
The woman looked to be less than thirty years old, with black hair like clouds, a face like a silver plate, eyebrows like distant black, and lips that were red without any makeup.
Shopkeeper Cui stood respectfully in the middle and said, "Ladies, I will take my leave now."
Wen Yan nodded at him, and Manager Cui retreated.
The woman put down her teacup, picked up her round fan, and walked towards them with a graceful gait.
She leaned against the door, gently waving a round fan, and looked at Wen Yan and Meng Chifei with her phoenix eyes, but her eyes seemed to be moving and charming.
After a while, she covered her face with her round fan and laughed sweetly, "So, the people who invited me here are actually two young girls."
Her voice is as clear as a silver bell and as melodious as a yellow oriole.
The voice was also sweet and sticky, like a glutinous rice dumpling dipped in brown sugar and honey.
She walked to the table and sat across from Wen Yan: "Tell me, what is it that brought you here?"
When she walked, her steps were light and her waist was swaying, like a bewildered snake demon, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
She is not as delicate as an ordinary woman, but rather has a plump and round figure.
Every gesture reveals infinite charm.
She was Concubine Mei, who made Marquis Jinping favor his concubine over his wife, and made his wife feel like she was facing a formidable enemy. She hoped that by marrying a powerful daughter-in-law, she could help her secure her position as the main wife.
When she was on the opposite side, Wen Yan always felt that the woman in front of her was delicate and artificial, and was seducing men all the time.
From the perspective of an outsider, I felt that she was naturally charming.
Not to mention men, even women would be attracted to her.
Meng Chifei lowered his eyes calmly and drank water from the cup.
This woman is so charming that I can't take my eyes off her.
Wen Yan looked at Aunt Mei with a smile: "Is the baby in your belly okay?"
