Double Happiness
Chapter 116
She had no complaints. Her parents agreed because they must have already seen Mr. Wen's character.
She was also a person who knew herself well. Mixianlou was one of the largest restaurants in Dongdu. The Wen family was wealthy and could not afford to eat all the food in their lifetime. She also had the support of the Xie family. It was a blessing for her to marry into the family.
Having her secret exposed by Madam Yu, her cheeks flushed and she shyly replied, "My daughter is satisfied."
As long as you are satisfied, Mrs. Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the fourth lady at home, she refused to listen to her and her father, and was deceived by the beastly young master of the Li family. In the end, she ended up like that. Although they divorced, the two children were still in the hands of the Li family, which became a knot in the fourth lady's heart.
Although she is going to marry for the second time, she has never let it go. In recent days, the Yu family has been trying every means to deal with the Li family to see if they can take the two children in and raise them for a few years.
One fourth wife is enough, so the marriages of the other wives won't be a problem, which can be considered as the blessing of Yu family's ancestors.
The matchmaker from the Wen family came on the first day, and Mrs. Yu sent a matchmaker to the Wen family the next day without any delay and responded very readily.
After receiving Mrs. Yu's reply, Mrs. Wen had someone prepare a live goose and went to the house in person.
Wen Huai helped the old lady get on the carriage and told her, "Grandma, go slowly. I'll send someone to pick you up in the afternoon."
"Just do your thing. Aunt Cao is here, so you don't have to worry about anything." She turned to look at him, took a breath, and said, "You should be straightforward this time."
Before going to the Yu family to propose marriage, Old Madam Wen asked Wen Huai first. When she heard that it was the sixth lady of the Yu family, Wen Huai agreed without asking a single question, "It's all up to grandma."
She makes the decision, and her children and grandchildren are satisfied.
It was rare that he didn't act like the eldest lady this time, being stubborn. Old Madam Wen kept nagging, "After the marriage is settled, you can also get married as soon as possible. Among the three young masters of my Wen family, you are the last one to get married."
Wen Huai nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Grandmother."
Only after Madam Wen's carriage left did Wen Huai go to Mixian Tower.
After Master Wen came to Dongdu, he became lazy and said that he was too tired over the years and now that his children had grown up, it was time for him to enjoy his retirement. He became a hands-off boss and spent all day playing with birds with the other masters in Dongdu. He left all the affairs of Mixian Tower to Wen Huai.
Ever since Mixianlou served dishes at the prince's palace banquet last time, it has become famous and business is more prosperous than ever. Wen Huai is almost too busy to rest.
As soon as they arrived at Mixian Tower, the waiter who was promoted by Wen Shuse to be the manager came up to them and whispered, "Young Master, I have prepared all the dishes that the Sixth Lady of the Yu Family requested as you instructed, so they can be put into the pot as soon as the people arrive."
Wen Huai said, "She is busy today and can't come. Put the things aside first."
The servant was stunned. As expected, the Sixth Lady of the Yu family did not come that day.
It only appeared two days later.
Everyone in Mixian Tower already knew that their young master was engaged to the Sixth Lady of the Yu family.
The sixth lady of the Yu family came at dusk. She wore a veiled hat and did not show her face. She asked the waiter at the door, "Is that young man here today?"
Which guy?
The doorman didn't know who she was asking about, and looked puzzled. Then he heard Lady Six say, "The tallest waiter with a dark face."
Sixth Lady was also very upset. The young man had told her his name last time, but she had forgotten it in a blink of an eye. She was too embarrassed to ask again at the Yang family's farm.
The servant still didn't understand who she was talking about.
Her face was a little dark. There was one person who fit this description, but he was not a waiter, but their young master. Just as she shook her head, she saw the young master walking up from behind her.
Wen Huai called out to the back of the Sixth Lady of the Yu Family, "Sixth Lady?"
Lady Liu was startled, turned around, and saw the person she was looking for. She hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked over. Knowing that what she said was heard, she apologized, "I'm really sorry, I have a bad memory and forgot your name."
"No problem." Wen Huai smiled and didn't mind, but he didn't tell her again. He asked her, "One serving of clams?"
Lady Six nodded, "Thank you for your help, little brother."
There were many people coming and going in the lobby. Wen Huai glanced at the small pavilion upstairs and said, "Sixth Lady, go upstairs first and wait for a while."
That's exactly what she meant.
Two days ago, she had already engaged to the young master of this restaurant. In order to avoid being recognized, she wore a veil.
Wen Huai led her upstairs and Sixth Lady followed behind him. The Mixian Tower was expensive to build and the things sold there were also expensive. It was her first time back to the small pavilion upstairs. She heard people say that she couldn't come down without a hundred taels of silver.
Thanks to my brother, I am able to come here today.
When he reached the door, he came to his senses and did not go in. He said in embarrassment: "Brother, I only have enough money to buy a portion of clams. I can't afford to order wine and food after entering the pavilion. You can help me pack the boxes later. I will wait here."
There are few people coming and going upstairs, so it’s okay for her to stand there for a while.
Wen Huairen had already come in. Seeing her like this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Sixth Lady, there is no need to be so polite. I won't charge you any money today."
Sixth Lady understood the meaning of his words.
She was probably already known about her engagement with the young master of the Mixian Tower. She hurriedly shook her head and took a step forward, looking flustered, "Young man, please don't reveal my identity. I'm not here to eat for free."
Wen Huai was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement, "No one has booked the small pavilion today, please come in first, it's free, there are many people outside."
Sixth Lady breathed a sigh of relief and then stepped inside.
Seeing her sitting on the seat, Wen Huai turned around and went downstairs. After a while, he came in personally with a teapot, served her a cup of tea, and stood beside her, but did not sit down, as if waiting for her orders at any time.
She just came to buy a portion of clams, which only cost a few taels of silver. She couldn't afford such service, so she turned around and said embarrassedly: "Young man, you don't have to take care of me. Go and do your own thing."
Wen Huai said: "Not busy."
Yes, he already knows his identity, so he would not dare to neglect it.
The Sixth Lady did not force him. The clams had to be put into the pot fresh, and they would not be ready for a while. She had to wait for a while. She sipped half a cup of tea and could not help herself. She asked Wen Huai beside her softly, "Young man, is your young master here today?"
Wen Huai didn't show it on his face, "Sixth Lady wants to see him?"
Lady Liu shook her head vigorously, "No." After a pause, she whispered, "Just a little curious..."
After getting engaged, who wouldn’t be curious about what their future significant other will look like?
Wen Huai's eyes slightly dodged, and he replied, "He's busy."
"That's true. It must be very tiring for him to manage such a big restaurant." Sixth Lady said sympathetically. She took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "I heard that your young master is also a bit shady."
She heard it from her mother.
Wen Huai was stunned, and did not respond to her. Instead, he asked, "Sixth Lady, do you not like people with dark skin?"
After asking that question, Sixth Lady regretted it a little bit. The guy in front of her was quite dark.
Besides, she was already engaged to the young master, so she couldn't judge people by appearance in front of his subordinates. She said sincerely, "It's good to be darker. It looks healthier than those with white skin."
Wen Huai glanced over and saw Sixth Lady's eyelids drooping.
Even she herself felt guilty about saying this.
The clams were quickly brought up and packed in a box. The waiter handed it to Wen Huai, "Young man..."
"Go and get busy." Wen Huai interrupted, turned around and handed the food box to Lady Liu, "Eat it while it's hot. If it gets cold, just heat it up again."
The Sixth Lady nodded, "How much money?"
"One or two."
Lady Liu was stunned. So cheap?
Wen Huai smiled and explained, "There is a discount today."
These days, Madam Wen was arranging a marriage for Wen Huai, so Wen Shuse lived in the Wen family.
As the sun was setting, Wen Huai packed some food from Mixianlou and delivered it to the door. Wen Shuse had just woken up from a nap. She washed her face and sat in front of the dressing table, applying the snow skin cream.
Xiangyun said, "Boss Wen said this is the latest model for autumn. It can not only moisturize the skin, but also whiten the skin. Madam, have used it for a few days. How do you feel about it..."
"Not bad." Hearing the noise, he saw Wen Huai's figure in the bronze mirror. He was hungry, "Brother, what do you want to eat today?"
Wen Huai handed the lunch box to Aunt Qing and glanced at the facial cream on her dressing table. "Are you going to eat it at home, or share it with grandma?"
Wen Shuse was very sleepy at noon. The old lady asked her to eat, but she had no energy and could even fall asleep while holding the bowl. Seeing her like that, the old lady thought that she was too busy with Wen Huai's marriage, so she quickly sent her back to her room. Now that she had taken a nap, she felt better. "I'll go and accompany grandma."
Wen Huai had already eaten and did not follow.
Wen Shuse's stomach growled with hunger a moment ago, but after Aunt Cao set the table, he had no appetite when he saw the food.
Wen Huai chose the dishes according to her taste, so this shouldn't be the case.
Madam Wen also noticed it, "What's wrong today? Why doesn't the food suit your appetite?"
Wen Shuse thought for a moment, "The weather has turned cold in recent days. I guess he kicked off the quilt last night and caught a cold. Grandma, please be careful and don't catch a cold."
Old Madam Wen felt distressed and asked Aunt Cao to make a bowl of ginger soup.
There was no man in the house, and no one to warm the quilt at night. He asked Wen Shuse in a low voice: "Has the Third Young Master sent any letter recently?"
Wen Shuse shook his head, "No."
Really not.
Before entering Hexi, he asked someone to send a letter back to report his safety and say that he had arrived at the Hexi checkpoint. After that, there was no news from him.
This is a secret route, so we will not alert the enemy and leave any handle for them.
All she could do was wait.
Whether it will be next summer or autumn depends entirely on your ability.
Seeing her depressed look, Madam Wen advised: "The Third Young Master is not the same as before. He is smart, considers things carefully, and acts prudently. You just wait patiently. If you can't wait any longer, come to Grandma and accompany Grandma more."
Wen Shuse, who never showed sadness in front of outsiders, smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
As he was struggling to eat the rice in his bowl, Old Madam Wen said, "The Wei family came to propose marriage today."
Previously, the eldest lady ruined the Wei family’s marriage, and the eldest lady has not yet gotten over it. Now that she comes again, it’s a good thing.
Wen Shuse didn't care either.
Madam Wen said, "Madam Wei is attracted to the third lady."
Wen Shu was stunned.
Madam Wen sighed, "It's really fate. I heard from Madam Wei that on that day at the Yang Family Manor, Young Master Wei met your third sister and they fell in love with each other. If your brother hadn't been discussing marriage, the Wei family would have come to your house a long time ago..."
Wen Shuse was surprised and felt a little sad.
That day, Madam Wei brought Master Wei to visit the eldest lady specially. However, the eldest lady didn't see him, but fell in love with the third lady instead.
Although Wen Suying is timid and easily blushes, she is able to distinguish right from wrong and know how to protect her master at critical moments. She is also good-looking. Regardless of her status, as a person, she is a good match for Master Wei.
But everyone in the Wen family knew that Wen Suning had long had her eyes on the Wei family. With her self-esteem, the family would surely fall out at this moment.
Sure enough, Madam Wen said, "Your elder sister hasn't eaten for a day."
Can you eat it? Among the three young ladies of the Wen family, Wen Suning has been the smartest since childhood. During the years in Fengcheng, outsiders always praised her when they saw her.
She had previously advised herself to go to Dongdu to find a place for herself.
Now, not only herself, but even her half-sister has surpassed her. How could such a strong-willed person like her swallow this humiliation?
The old man of the Wen family also knew that she was upset, so he stood in front of the door and advised her early this morning: "Your father knows that you are upset, but as long as I am here, I will never treat you unfairly in this life..."
Wen Su Ning didn't say anything for a long time.
After hearing the news, Aunt Xue also wanted to go over and persuade her, but was stopped by the Third Lady, "Aunt, don't add fuel to the fire at this time. If we go, Big Sister will only get angrier."
Aunt Xue had no choice but to wait. She glanced back at the Third Lady and asked softly, "What do you think? Do you want to get married?"
The third lady is the concubine's daughter of the Wen family. It is a blessing for her to marry into a family as big as the Wei family.
But if I really get married, I will become a complete enemy of the eldest lady, and this family will probably never have peace in the future.
When the Wei family came to propose marriage today, Wen Suying realized that the strange man she saw on her farm that day was the eldest son of the Wei family, whom her elder sister wanted to marry.
If she had only considered Wen Suning, she shouldn't have agreed to this marriage.
But why must she consider the eldest lady in her life?
The first time the Wei family came to propose marriage, the eldest lady had already rejected it. The eldest sister had never even met Mr. Wei and had no feelings for him at all.
Although the Third Lady was born to Aunt Xue, she was raised by the First Lady since she was a child. She grew up under the oppression of the First Lady and the First Lady over the years. The fear of them has been engraved in her bones and she will never be able to get rid of it in her lifetime. That is why she wants to get rid of it.
She couldn't do that, and just to make Wen Suning feel better, she ruined her own future.
If her father does not agree and does not allow her to marry, she will not marry.
But if you ask her what she means, the third lady will say softly: "Aunt, I am willing. I want to get married."
Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Then let's just stay here and don't go over there."
Uncle Wen tried to persuade her, but it was of no use. So he went to the Second Uncle's house in the afternoon and came to see Old Madam Wen to ask her what she thought.
The old lady knew that the master had always looked up to the eldest lady, and perhaps she felt a little unfair, so she did not rush to agree to this rare marriage for the third lady, but came to ask her opinion.
Madam Wen had already weighed the scale in her heart, and replied to Grandpa Wen, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since ancient times, marriage has been based on fate. I'm afraid that Madam's fate is not in the Wei family."
Uncle Wen understood and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mother is right."
After hearing what Old Madam Wen said, Mr. Wen will probably go back to the Wei family tomorrow. Once the marriage is settled, the eldest lady will probably never be able to get over this for the rest of her life.
The stronger a person is, the stronger his self-esteem is.
As she was also her granddaughter, she felt a little distressed. Madam Wen was worried and sent Wen Shuse away. "I will go to my uncle's house tomorrow. You should rest early. There is nothing to do at the Wen family. You should go back and accompany the old man from the Xie family. His grandson is not here, and his grandson's wife has been abducted. Who knows how he will scold me in his heart."
The Xie and Wen families lived not far from each other. Wen Shuse slept until noon in the morning, washed her face, sat in front of the dressing table, and asked Xiangyun to bring her the snow skin cream.
As soon as he unscrewed the lid, he found that a large amount of cream was missing. Wen Shuse stared at the cream that had been taken away, stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "Who stole my facial cream?"
Aunt Cao and Xiangyun were also surprised.
Before, the facial cream that the lady used at the Xie family would often be missing. At first, no one in the room knew what was going on until the lady smelled the odor on her son-in-law.
It was the son-in-law who secretly used his wife's facial cream to wipe the scar on his shoulder armor.
After a few people found out, no one exposed it. But now the son-in-law is not around, who would dare to steal?
The treasures are here~ (continue to give out hundreds of red envelopes~)
