Xiao Ji greeted: "Master Wu got a box and put it in the bedroom." She whispered.
Xiaoxiang followed the procedure, mixed warm water to wash his master's hands, and then followed him to serve him.
Qinghe was working on something aside. She felt that the atmosphere was not right today. She didn't know what was going on and was observing secretly.
Wen Yu washed her hands and changed her clothes. Xiao Xiang combed her hair, pressed her scalp, and then tied it up casually.
Then she drank a cup of tea, leaving Xiaoji alone, and asked, "What's going on in the yard?"
"I heard that when we went to visit the Zhao family that day, the Third Grandma was showing off outside, and the Zhao family's granddaughter-in-law said a few words. The old lady came back unhappy and asked the Third Madam to teach her a lesson. The Third Grandma was probably unhappy too, and she beat the maid again."
"Humph, both of them have problems."
"Mu Bo went out to do some work and asked me to tell you that the Third Master built a small courtyard outside. Zhang Yuan went to clean it up, and I don't know what it's for."
"Um."
"He also said that Madam Li did not go to Wei Xiangyu's place."
"Didn't go? Maybe it's too late? Didn't my cousin send someone there? Tell Mu Bo to discuss it. We have to see this matter through to the end."
After dawdling for a long time, I went to look at the box. Wow... there were quite a few things in it.
It's arranged neatly, but a little bit messy.
There were banknotes in the letter, gold and silver ingots in the box, two paintings, two sets of jewelry... and some odds and ends that were obviously put together.
Thinking about how he didn't sleep well the night before and had to do all these things after getting up, he must have been anxious and nervous.
Wen Yu's eyes and heart couldn't help but soften.
The daily interactions between the two of them and the changes in him after they got married are all very sweet when I think about it.
When I think about Zhuzhu meeting Hu Fei...it's true: No one is perfect!
Oh, forget it, I can't just focus on these things that don't go my way. So, I counted all the good things that happened to us after we got together...
But after a while, he remembered: This fool was played around by that scheming woman in Tianlong Temple... I laughed at him for a long time at that time. I was laughing at myself! Then he thought of the way Qin Lianyue talked about him. That's right! She said: Give her frozen sugar ice in winter! This bastard, why didn't he freeze to death? !
Even though he knew that Qin Lianyue was deliberately instigating it, he couldn't help but get angry again.
Qin Lianyue, you treat him as your private property. She doesn't want him, so don't even think about letting others get him!
And this idiot, who obviously looks smart and is said to be reliable, how could he become so stupid when he met Qin Lianyue! It seems... he really likes her! That's why he was blinded by her!
My heart is filled with sourness... I am so full that I have no appetite. I keep thinking...
In the evening, Qi Wu came back.
It seems that after paying the money, he felt relieved and became much calmer.
As usual, no one talked much, and Wen Yu didn't say anything either. After everything was packed and the maids were sent out, he asked, "Ayu, did you see anything in the box?"
"Um."
"Ayu, I didn't do well before, I will pay more attention in the future. I still have some private property... It's not in my hands now, I will find a way to get it back and give it all to you later."
Wen Yu didn't know how he was going to get it back, but she didn't plan to ask.
"Over the years, I have made some money, but I gave it all to the Crown Prince. He needs money to do things. Don't worry, things will get better in the future. I will give you all the money I earn in the future."
Wen Yu lowered her eyelids: "You may not understand, I am not short of money."
"I know you are angry with me! I will change, please don't be angry anymore..."
"Okay, I'm not angry anymore. Let's go to sleep!" Wen Yu said nothing more and went to bed.
Qi Wu stood there and thought: Looking at the atmosphere, this is definitely not a reconciliation.
But she said she was no longer angry, and there was no way to continue the conversation.
He was not good at this to begin with, and now he had no idea how to deal with it. He could only sleep in a depressed mood.
The next morning, he saw Wen Yu's face was normal, but not very good, and he felt even more uneasy. His palms were sweating, and he really didn't know how to deal with such a situation, so he went out to work in a depressed mood.
Madam Qi told Wen Yu that she wrote a letter to Du Liu: cursing him and asking for money!
Wen Yu helped her mother-in-law walk back, "It's okay with you, just don't be really angry!"
Today is the day to pay respects to the Tan family.
When the two arrived, except for Liu, the other daughters-in-law and the little cat were already there. After they exchanged greetings, they sat down to talk.
When Xu saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming together, her smiling face darkened. Grandmother had just said: When her condition is more stable and she can manage the household affairs, she will come out to help...
Why is it that the step-grandmother can think of herself in everything, but the biological mother-in-law is so indifferent? There is no one more cruel than her! No wonder her father-in-law ignores her and even his biological eldest son doesn't get close to her.
She asked for this! Tan smiled and looked at Wen Yu: "Your grandfather said that he would make some clothes for them in your shop. He also said that the money was paid by the former study!" She looked at everyone again, "You guys are benefiting from Xiaowu's wife!"
Tan pointed at Wen Yu and said, "Xiao Wu's wife? Don't be so happy. Your grandfather said that you are not allowed to ask for a random price! You must report it to him when the time comes!"
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Grandma, you have such a big business deal coming to us so early in the morning. How can my granddaughter-in-law not be happy?"
"You! Or... the day after tomorrow? Have a chef come to your shop and take measurements for everyone. Also bring some materials and patterns so that everyone can take a look!"
Zhu interrupted, "Grandma, you forgot that the shop of my fifth brother's wife is so powerful that we don't accept people coming to our shop to measure our clothes!"
Wen Yu was very happy and didn't argue with her: "It's not about going to other people's houses! But this is our own home! Grandma has given the order, so we should go wherever she wants us to go!"
When it comes to interests, this bitch can talk... Tan secretly hates it! "But, grandma, the day after tomorrow my cousin's inn is opening, and it's right next to the shop. He said there will be a celebration. I have to be busy at the shop, so I may not have much time to come home. What do you think, how about changing the day?"
"Oh...that's fine, let's do it another day!" Tan never makes things difficult for others on this matter.
"Grandma, you are so kind..." Wen Yu smiled sweetly.
Zhu added: "Grandma, these days, only these merchants have no status. Otherwise, this wealthy person would be really amazing!"
Tan actually nodded in agreement: "Since ancient times, the imperial court and the people have had this rule. I guess there must be a reason for it!"
Zhu was very proud of being recognized, "Fifth brother's wife, you should not go to the celebration. To be honest, a shop is an asset, and a family like us should have something. But opening an embroidery building or a restaurant is inferior, and you will be laughed at without knowing it."
She looked disdainful.
"Third sister-in-law, you are at the Zhao family. Is it because the wife of the Zhao family made fun of my shop that you are trying to stop her from arguing with her on my behalf?"
Zhu blushed, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about."
"Third sister-in-law, first of all, my cousin has a title. It's different. Secondly, although the status of merchants is not high, they are also indispensable to the court and the people. Let's not talk about other things, just talk about third sister-in-law, if there were no merchants to send silk fabrics to your home from thousands of miles away, when you came to the capital, would you have to wear animal skins and grass skirts?!"
Maybe, she thought of that scene and started to giggle.
Mrs. Qi looked at her reproachfully and shook her head.
Zhang Moqing and Wang couldn't help laughing. Only Xu, who felt that she was close to Zhu, spoke up for her: "Grandma, the third sister-in-law was just saying it casually. What do you think the fifth sister-in-law said? "
Zhu's face turned red with anger.
Tan looked at her, feeling a little distressed, so she nodded and said seriously: "Little Fifth Wife, please be tactful when joking."
There are not many times when she can look serious, which shows how serious the situation is.
Wen Yu quickly stood up: "Yes! Grandma. Wen Yu apologizes to the third sister-in-law!" She bowed to Tan and Zhu, then sat down again.
"But... Third sister-in-law, you really need to be careful about your talkativeness. As far as I know, there are many wealthy families in the capital who have their own businesses. Even the royal family cannot rely on the emperor's rewards to live a prosperous and wealthy life! So, no one knows what goes on in private. You always talk nonsense like this... Not everyone is as good-tempered as Madam Zhao!"
Although it is instigative, this statement is not wrong.
"Where did I say anything nonsense? Don't..."
Tan interrupted her and said, "What Wen Yu said is true." She looked fair and selfless.
Wen Yu added: "The Zhu family lives in a remote area. Although they are the overlord of a region, their vision is too narrow. If the Zhu family really goes to the capital, a seventh-rank official will be able to embarrass them to death!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhu stood up suddenly, she was anxious.
Liu came in from outside and saw Zhu yelling at Wen Yu. She knew that she was looking for Wen Yu again and was turned back. She frowned, "Zhu! What kind of place is this? You have the right to yell!?"
Zhu was angry, "Mother, you don't know..."
"Okay!" Liu sternly stopped her and bowed to Tan: "Mother, it is because of my failure to discipline her that she behaved improperly in front of you. Please punish her, mother!"
Tan smiled and said, "Forget it! Forget it! Why would I care about this? I was just joking and I got impatient!"
"No matter if you were just joking or not, you're still yelling in front of mother. It's okay if your wife didn't see it, but if she did, there's no reason to ignore it!" Liu looked at Zhu sternly, then at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu knew that she was secretly mocking her mother-in-law. Why was she doing it secretly? It would be a big deal if I exposed it: "Mother, look at Third Aunt, she is disciplining her daughter-in-law! Why don't you care about anything and just indulge me like this!?"
Madam Qi smiled and said, "You are not wrong! What's wrong with mother being a little indulgent?"
"You're arguing with your sister-in-law in front of grandma!" Wen Yu pulled Madam Qi's sleeve and acted coquettishly, causing everyone to shudder.
"Your grandmother said she wouldn't care, so how can I make the decision on my own?"
"Mother, you are so kind, and grandmother is the best! You are both very, very good elders!"
Liu: “…” She couldn’t help but wonder in her heart: What’s wrong with Zhu? She can’t beat others, but she always provokes them.
It makes me feel neither up nor down.
Tan sighed: "You guys! You only bully people like me who have a good temper..."
The next update will be later. Sorry...
