Mrs. Qi took the painting and went out.
Thinking about my eldest son who is already old and working hard outside, but has no good future when he comes back.
His wife was not a good wife, and he was still confused. What should he do next?
When we got to the store, the girls all greeted us, "Hello, Madam!"
"Is Wen Yu here?" Her mood brightened as she arrived here.
"The girl is here, she's upstairs!"
Master Qing is not here at the moment. I wonder what he is busy with.
As soon as she went up, Wen Yu opened the small door to welcome her, "Madam! I was still talking about you yesterday!"
"I'll find the painting you mentioned last time and see if it's okay to hang it up."
"Have you found it?! Then let's go and imitate it!" After saying that, Wen Yu took the painting in her hand, and then put her arm around Mrs. Qi, "Have you had breakfast? Zhuzhu made the fillings yesterday, and there are crab roe soup dumplings!"
"I'll try it at noon." The two of them went downstairs talking and laughing.
There was an empty wall in the hall below, and Wen Yu told Madam Qi that she wanted to find a painting to decorate it.
"What kind of painting did Madam hold?" Wen Yu asked.
Madam Qi smiled: "Look for yourself!"
Wen Yu gently opened it and took a look: "This is... so beautiful..." She looked at it carefully for a long time, then looked at the signature: "Master Huang Ting?"
She was so surprised! Madam Qi smiled proudly: "You are so knowledgeable!"
"I've only heard of it but never seen its true appearance!" The two little girls took it and showed it to Wen Yu at the empty wall.
She squinted her eyes and looked back and forth: "The lady in this painting, her hair, her skirt, can all feel the direction of the wind. The colors are also good, it should not be an ordinary painting! It really matches our style!"
Master Qing also came and stood there admiring...
Madam Qi nodded: "It's really good! It's better than the green-dressed lady you mentioned!?"
"Much better! I never thought it would have such an effect! Madam, I admire your taste!"
Mrs. Qi knew that she was praising herself, but she still smiled happily.
"But... Madam." Wen Yu reached out to take the painting and rolled it up carefully.
"The store has a high turnover of customers. We only put up a painting for decoration. It's not okay to hang such an expensive painting!"
"It doesn't matter..." said Mrs. Qi.
"Madam, please listen to me! This painting is not only expensive, but most importantly, it is a treasure left to you by your mother. If anything goes wrong with it, we will be sad and regretful."
After she said that, Madam Qi hesitated a little, but she had already brought it...
Master Qing said, "Madam, don't look at the girls and ladies in the shop. Most of them are of noble status and have a good manner. However, some people's minds are hard to guess. The day before yesterday, I found a piece of material that was dyed with lip balm! The ornaments on the table have also been lost, and the dolls... have been cut."
"There is such a thing?" Mrs. Qi was surprised.
"That's right! The girl who stole the jewelry... Actually, her mother spent a lot of money in the store. If she really liked it, it would be fine to give her two pieces. But she didn't, she just stole it."
"I was also surprised when I heard it! So, let's hang such a good painting at home! Don't make yourself upset." Wen Yu said.
Mrs. Qi had no choice but to agree: "Okay then!"
Wen Yu added: "I have seen your painting skills. How about... you copy this painting and then we hang it up?"
“I haven’t written in many years…”
"Give it a try! And it doesn't have to be exactly the same! You can adjust it according to the colors we have here, maybe the effect will be better!"
After saying this, Madam Qi looked around and started to think in her mind.
"Big sister!" A cheerful voice laughed, and the three sisters Wen Jiao, Wen Wan and Wen Su entered the store.
Seeing Wen Yu talking to Madam Qi, they hurriedly bowed. "Madam Qi!" The three of them smiled like flowers! Madam Qi smiled and nodded.
"Why are you here?" Wen Yu asked.
"Brother is out on business, so we followed him. We'll go back with sister in the evening!"
"Do you have money with you?" Wen Yu teased them.
"Yes! Why not?! It just so happens that today they need to separate the threads and make a lace. Now that you are here, get to work!"
Wen Jiao stamped her feet: "Madam, look, she treats her sister as a farmhand!"
"Not long, just a short-term job!" Wen Yu laughed, "Today we have crab roe soup dumplings, you can eat if you work!"
The girls really couldn't argue with her, so they just ignored her and walked around the store.
Madam Qi said, "You sisters are quite harmonious."
"That's right: Wen Yu has you and this shop." Wen Yu said frankly.
Madam Qi nodded. Although she didn't know the details of Wen Yu's previous situation at home, judging from Mrs. Wen's reaction when she first mentioned marriage, there must be a story behind it.
However, it doesn’t matter anymore! In the future, the two of them will love each other and love Xiao Wu together, and that’s enough! “Today, Qi Xiao…” She told Wen Yu about Qi Xiao’s affairs.
Wen Yu said, "Madam, my brother has lived with people with ulterior motives since he was a child. His temperament, thoughts, and behavior have been greatly affected. He hurt you without realizing it. Now it seems that he has come to his senses. Don't be anxious, don't rush to pull him in, and don't push him out. Give him some time to reflect on himself."
"You are right."
Mrs. Qi had lunch with a few girls from the Wen family at noon.
She has tried everything, but she also prefers Yan Zhu's side dishes, which are simple side dishes with crab soup dumplings and a bowl of soup.
Wen Jiao and Wen Su also expressed their satisfaction. On the contrary, Wen Wan was eagerly hoping that Wen Yu could serve two "hard dishes".
Wen Yu ignored her! This crab soup dumpling is very expensive in the store.
It's really heartbreaking to let them eat for free! After finishing her meal, Madam Qi went back. As soon as she left, Princess Huiduan came to pick up the things she ordered.
Wen Yu was talking to the Wen sisters. When she saw her coming, she greeted them and introduced her three sisters.
Upon hearing that these three girls were Wen Feng's daughters.
Princess Huiduan looked them up and down carefully: they all looked good, but not as good as Wen Yu.
The three girls were a little nervous when facing the princess, but seeing Huiduan treated them very kindly, they gradually relaxed.
Wen Yu didn't understand what the princess meant, so she prepared some side dishes and buns for her lunch, then said she was busy and left.
After a while, I saw that the three girls from the Wen family were chatting enthusiastically with the princess.
On the way back, Wen Jiao proudly said, "The princess invited us to her house the day after tomorrow!"
Wen Yu grinned, "It must be because you are too popular with the princess!"
"That's right! You think you're the only capable person in the family!" Wen Jiao was pleased with herself, and her arrogance, which had disappeared for a long time, returned again! ...
That night, something finally happened that made Xu proud.
Qi Hua's wife gave birth to a girl.
Mrs. Xu stroked her belly gently. "After such a long period of bad luck, I finally heard some good news. Oh, I thought Mrs. Wang was so capable! She still gave birth to a daughter! Fortunately, I didn't do anything..."
Originally, after she gave birth to a daughter, Wang came into the family, and was worried that someone would snatch her husband away and give birth to a son. Coincidentally, her mother had given her medicine... and she took it when she found an opportunity.
It is not known whether the medicine worked or Wang herself had difficulty conceiving, and she was unable to conceive until several years after their marriage.
This time when Wang was pregnant, she thought about it secretly for a long time and was planning to take action...
As a result, her personal nanny said that she noticed the old lady was watching her very closely... and because she was worried something might happen, she didn't dare to do it.
Later, when her husband came back, her mother-in-law arranged a marriage for Qi Wu and was unhappy all day long, so she ignored Wang.
Haha, the result is so good without any action, this is God's blessing on me! It seems that the eldest son of this generation is about to crawl out of my belly!
When Madam Qi heard the news, she sent Nanny Cui to deliver a set of standard jewelry.
Tan knew about it, and smiled, asking people to send this and that. When no one was in the room, her face suddenly fell.
"She's useless! She looks good, but she can't even give birth to a son! In order to ensure her safe birth of a child, I personally protected her! But in the end, she gave birth to a girl!" He cursed harshly.
He sighed again, "It's been almost a year since Yue'er got married, and there's still no news of her pregnancy. It's really frustrating! A great-grandson is very important!"
