Chapter 138 Wang's House 3


0

Wang Caiwei didn't expect that she and Qiao Xin would meet again just one hour later.

The other person was drinking tea leisurely in her shop. When he saw her come in, he just nodded.

"Meet the old lady!"

When Qiao Xin saw the servant who had just left the house following him, she understood that it seemed that she and the Wang family were destined to have an intersection.

"Miss."

When the manager saw Wang Caiwei, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Ji Bo, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard. It's just that this lady has something good and I can't make the decision, so I invited you here."

"It's okay. This woman is the mother of this year's number one scholar. She is a second-rank lady appointed by His Majesty himself. We must not neglect her."

The manager's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop! Cold sweat dripped down his back.

Damn it, Miss, it’s too late!

Not only did the guys in his shop treat him badly, they even scolded him!

But old lady, have you ever seen any old feudal lord wearing a coarse linen shirt like you and going to these small shops to bargain for things in person?

"Madam, I know I was wrong. I was blind and did not recognize a great man. Please forgive me, but please do not blame our young lady." The steward kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Qiao Xin suddenly felt bored, but if she didn't speak up, others would think that she really held a grudge. It was just a small matter. Was she so petty?

"Get up, or take your young lady away. Butler Yu will take him out first. We won't pursue the past, but your servant needs to be disciplined more. Don't always judge people through the cracks in the door."

"Hey, I must discipline you strictly!"

Wang Caiwei closed her eyes in despair and suppressed the depression in her heart!

God won't play tricks like this. He clearly gave me a chance to make friends with my family, but it was ruined by that useless servant!

I'm afraid there will be no chance to seek refuge. The old lady has seen her own servants, and she will probably think that the servants of the Wang family are such a bunch of crap, so how could she look down on them?

Well, this was her destiny, she couldn't avoid it, she could only face it. It was still unclear who would win.

Sure enough, in the following conversation, the two of them just talked about the matter at hand and did not involve anything else, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Qiao Xin has been here for so long, but this is the first time she has met such a tough and intelligent woman who doesn't care about other people's opinions. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a strong woman.

Perhaps because she was raised as a son by Mr. Wang since childhood, Wang Caiwei has a very quick reaction and sharp thinking, yet she can also bend down and greet people with a smile.

If it weren't for the restrictions on women, this woman's achievements would probably be no less than those of the best men of the time. Qiao Xin couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy. He was no longer completely resistant to her advances.

When the two men walked out of the shop and headed towards the carriage, Wang Caiwei saw the butler beside her father, talking to Ji Bo in a hurried manner.

Seeing her coming out, Ji Bo immediately ran over and said, "Miss, something bad has happened. The old lady of the Zhao family has come, bringing the matchmaker who arranged the marriage with her. The master asked you to go back and meet the guests."

But...but I think the person who came here has bad intentions, so I asked around before leaving. I found out that the person came here to cancel the engagement. He said that he had consulted Master Xuankong from Da En Temple and found out that the mistress died of complications during childbirth, and now the master..."

This is almost like saying that Wang Caiwei has a very hard life and has brought misfortune to her father, mother and entire family!

"This is too much!"

The maid Cailan was indignant and said angrily: "The master has been ill for almost two years. The son-in-law showed up once at the beginning and has not come to see him again in more than two years. What do you mean by going out to study and focusing on studies?

His parents are the same. They say they are close friends of the master, but they don't care about him and don't follow the rules to greet him during festivals. What kind of in-laws are they?"

"Cai Lan, shut up!"

Wang Caiwei scolded the maid but she was not really angry.

She looked solemn and spoke in a low voice: "What is coming will come. If you really want to break off the engagement, it's not us who are treacherous. Why are you sad? Go away! I'm sorry to embarrass you, old lady!"

Qiao Xin looked at her in surprise and said with a smile, "It's rare that you are so insightful. Everyone has encountered a few scumbags when they were young, but you don't have to take them to heart.

Next month, Laohu Town will have a batch of fruits and vegetables sent to the capital by water. I wonder if your Wang family has the ability to take over?"

When Qiao Xin said this, Wang Caiwei felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Yes, don't worry, old lady. Our Wang family has more than a dozen twenty-meter merchant ships that have been idle for a long time. We can take over immediately."

"Well, since you have something important to do, I won't bother you any more. Butler Yu will accompany you. It would be more appropriate for him to discuss this matter with Mr. Wang in person.

Ms. Wang, when no one else can be relied upon, you are your own best support. See you later!"

Wang Caiwei looked at Qiao Xin's back and tears suddenly fell.

"Cai Lan, God, please leave me a chance to live, right?"

"Well, Miss, we will have many opportunities to see the old lady in the future. Go back quickly and don't let the master wait anxiously!" Cailan nodded vigorously.

No matter what Zhao family or Liu family you are, don't even think about bullying the young lady. Bah, they are just hypocritical villains. It's really unlucky for her young lady to enter such a family!

When Wang Caiwei walked into the main hall, she saw a pile of gift boxes on the ground, and a group of well-dressed servants and maids surrounding a woman dressed in luxurious clothes. Sitting on the main seat to the side were his father and aunt Yang.

"Nian Niang, come and meet Madam Zhao." Mr. Wang looked extremely bad, and he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

He originally thought that Zhao's sister-in-law came to discuss the wedding date, after all, the children of both families were already quite old.

Who would have thought that he would be changed the subject each time he brought it up. Thinking about what his daughter had said to him and the indifference of the Zhao family since he became seriously ill, he was afraid that there would be some problems with this marriage.

"Hello, Madam." Wang Caiwei bowed.

The Zhao family and the Wang family have been good friends for generations, as they were originally from the same place. They have been getting along well for three generations and have helped each other in business.

However, by the time of Mr. Wang's generation, the Wang family had dwindled to only him and his younger brother, and Mr. Wang himself had only one daughter, Wang Caiwei.

A few years ago, my younger brother went to the south to do business and died in the turmoil, leaving behind only a young son and a daughter. The uncles and aunts who were truly related to me were also three generations away.

When he got sick, his friends and relatives who were once friendly with him all showed their fangs. They wished that he would die early, skin his daughter alive, and divide up his ancestral property.

The Zhao family is just the opposite of theirs. In recent years, their descendants have been extremely prosperous. They gradually began to abandon business and enter politics, and urged their children and grandchildren to study and make progress. The best of this generation is Caiwei, the fiancé, who is both talented and beautiful. He passed the imperial examination smoothly and became a scholar at the age of 16. He has a bright future.

Such a man was so proud and arrogant at that time, how could he be willing to marry the daughter of a merchant?
