Song Shang is indeed capable! The clothing pavilion has been almost cleaned up.

The prototype of the restaurant has also been completed.

She also saw an unexpected person in the courtyard, Sun Ying.

Sun Ying escorted the convoy to Beijing, this time with his ten-year-old grandson and the niece of his junior apprenticeship whom Wen Yu had met before. He did not go back with the convoy, but stayed at Li Jiang's place while he was away.

Master Sun hesitated, saying that he wanted his eldest grandson to stay with the girl and seek a future for himself. The two girls also wanted to serve the girl for two years and save some dowry.

Wen Yu was overjoyed: "I'm in need of someone! Master Sun, please stay too! Get familiar with the capital quickly, there will be work to do soon!"

Sun Ying was also very happy! Wen Yu called Zhang Jiangqing again and teased him with a smile: "How is Mr. Zhang doing recently?"

"Not bad! Things are going well. The boss values ​​me. We are friendly with each other. It is convenient to travel and live here."

"That's great. I have something for you to do..."

After Zhang Jiangqing heard what she was going to do, he sighed: It never stops!

I finally understood why she wanted me to stay in Beijing. Who else could she ask for help? I was happy that she didn't treat herself as an outsider.

I was unhappy. She really didn't consider herself an outsider! ...

The Song family invited the Wen family to be their guest, and specially arranged for the visit to take place after Wen Yu returned, giving her great face.

As soon as the Wen family arrived, Mrs. Song pulled Wen Yu aside, looked her up and down, and kept saying nice things to her.

Wen Yu, of course, congratulated her cousin and said, "I'll ask for a decree for you later. From now on, when I see you, I have to call you Madam!"

"You little girl!" Mrs. Song scolded, but her eyes could no longer be seen smiling.

I don’t know if it was taught by the Wei family or if they were natural enemies, but Song Chihan always treated Wen Yu coldly, and Wen Yu didn’t even look at her.

The Song family's garden was much better than the Wen family's. In early spring, the scenery was very beautiful.

Several relatives of the Song family also came today. When they saw Wen Yu, they all wanted to get close to her.

A girl pestered her to walk around the garden, so she had no choice but to follow her for a long circle. She then left on the pretext of going to the bathroom to have some quiet time.

Xiaoji found her and winked at her. Wenyu was curious and followed him.

On the other side of the rockery in front, two men were talking excitedly.

"…Is this the only thing I'm talking about? You've been absent-minded all day, what are you thinking about?"

"I didn't delay anything, why do you always pick on me?"

Xiaoji came close to Wen Yu: Madam Xu’s two sons…

Wen Yu's heart moved, and she nodded, praising Xiao Ji. Although this girl is fat, she is very smart.

"Who are you showing this look on your face as if someone owes you eight hundred taels of silver?"

“I’ve always been like this!”

"Always like this? You smiled like a flower in front of Master Liu, and you thought I didn't see it!?"

"Sixth Master treats me well, and you care if I smile at him?!"

"Fifth Master treats you badly?! Our family has a house and land, and mother and son work together. You are the one who manages things but never serves others..."

"I'm not a slave, why should I serve others?"

"You! Why are you so ignorant?!"

The man ignored him.

"I don't know what you're thinking about all day. Your mother loves you the most. All the money in the family is left for you to marry and have children. I hope you can live a happy and happy life..."

"Marry a wife? Marry a girl from the Song family?" the man sneered.

"Who told you to marry a girl?"

"Humph, don't think I don't know!"

"My dear little brother, you have servants around you, you ride horses when you go out, and you manage people and things. It's just like this for a rich young man. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"If Dad is here, I can prepare these too!"

"You!" The eldest brother of the Xu family was obviously very angry: "But Dad is gone?!"

"Yes, Dad is dead. But if it weren't for Dad, would Fifth Master be where he is today? If that's the case, how well has he treated us?"

Brother Xu went up and punched him, "You're still not satisfied? If you don't want to, then leave! Leave the Song family! But one thing, you are not allowed to follow Song Tao!"

"Hmph! It's none of your business!" The man turned and left.

Wen Yu listened to the whole process.

It seems that Xu Niangzi's youngest son was not completely deceived by Song Tao, he had his own ideas.

Song Shang listened to what I said last time and did not give it to Song Tao.

But, it's not good to have such a person by my side! Although Xu Niangzi is down-to-earth and capable, she loves her son. If one day, she is asked to choose...

…

Seeing that her mother-in-law was with Rui Ge'er all day, Ma was worried that she would win him over, so she pulled her mother-in-law back.

As a result, her son asked her to tell stories before going to bed...

Ma was illiterate. When she was at home, she was interested in dressing and flowers and gossiping about the Zhang and Li families. How could she tell stories? She was good at quarreling and cursing, but when she really wanted to say something, she would stumble and her words would not express her meaning or make sense.

Curious baby Rui Ge'er asked a lot of questions, which made her stunned.

Unable to explain, Rui Ge'er looked down on her and went to sleep with his mother-in-law.

She was so angry! She didn't do any housework, just took some money and went out to buy snacks.

Then, I went to visit the shops selling cloth, jewelry, and toys one by one.

She didn't have much money in her pocket, so she could only buy cheap things. She looked for a long time, and then she became familiar with the shopkeepers and clerks in the store, as well as the people sitting on the street.

Ma was not ugly, she loved to dress up, joke, and speak with a soft southern accent, which attracted many people's favor.

The shopkeepers and their assistants didn't dare to tease her with words, but the look in their eyes... those who were in charge would generously give her some profits.

This made her very proud.

Aunt Chen knew that she was always out, so she scolded her. As a result, Ma made another scene. Aunt Chen was so angry that she almost fell ill.

One day, Ma was tired from shopping and was walking home when she passed by a man.

After a while, a voice was heard from behind: "Madam, please stay!"

Ma turned around and saw that it was the man from before... He was wearing bright clothes and a jade pendant, and he was bowing to her.

"Is this purse dropped by my wife?" The man was not good-looking, but he had a pair of peach blossom eyes that were very attractive.

It was obviously not her who dropped it, but Ma nodded as if possessed by a ghost.

"I said, such an exquisite purse, this journey, only a lady can use it!"

"Thank you, young master!" Ma's heart was beating fast.

She didn't have much experience in this area. She was unwilling to marry a farmer or a servant, so she plotted against Chen Wensi.

Although life has become better, Chen Wensi is a dullard who only knows how to study and is very boring.

"There aren't many people like you on this street..." She said shyly.

"My lady, thank you for the compliment. Please take it and have a look. Is there anything missing?"

Ma took it and felt a sinking sensation in her hand. She quickly opened it and took out two small ingots, one gold and one silver.

"Gold..." Ma was ecstatic.

"My lady, as the saying goes, wealth should not be shown off, so just keep it!" The man was very considerate.

Ma quickly pretended to be nice and smiled at the man, showing some charm. "I often buy things around here, but I have never seen you, young master."

"Oh, I don't live here."

"Not here?!" Ma was a little disappointed. What if I can't see him anymore? "When I first came to Beijing, I lived nearby. Later I bought a property and moved away. However, there is a Jinguang Temple here. Although it is not big, it is very quiet. I often come back to visit."

"Your family must have a lot of money to buy a house in the capital!" Ma was extremely envious.

"That house isn't that big. It's a world of difference compared to the one back home!"

"Young Master, you are from a wealthy family in your hometown, right?"

"My ancestors left me a small fortune, so I can still make ends meet. I came to Beijing to..."

The two of them chatted as they walked, and soon they became very friendly.

Finally, the young man said that he would come to Jinguang Temple again in two days.

Ma said she had never been there, so the young master said he would take her there.

The two of them made an agreement on this.

…

Zhang Jiangqing told Wen Yu the news, and Wen Yu was satisfied. "This guy is quite capable!"

Seeing Zhang Jiangqing glaring at her, she quickly said, "Wait until my cousin and his family come back, and then we can get it done."

Mu Ling came in and said, "Miss, my brother is here. He said you were looking for him?"

Wen Yu said to Zhang Jiangqing, "Go back to work! I have something to do."

Zhang Jiangqing glared at her helplessly again and left.

Wen Yu said to Mu Bo, "The Fifth Master said that he has not been busy recently, so he borrowed you to help me keep an eye on someone and see what she is doing... uh... just ask around and let me know if you have any news."
