Mrs. Wang's words immediately broke Wang Hanwei's psychological defense, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried.
It wasn't until Wang Hanwei was tired of crying and vented her inner anguish that she drank porridge, took medicine and fell asleep.
After all this trouble, it was time for dinner. Mrs. Wang arranged for her servants to take care of Wang Hanwei, and then walked towards the main courtyard.
The Wang family is a home of merchants. They say they are members of the royal family, but they only spend money to make the Wang family look more respectable. In fact, they are still merchants, so they follow the same rules and etiquette. The concubines in the mansion can still interact with the king in the main courtyard. The members are having dinner together.
"Sister is here, have you had dinner? Has the eldest lady gone to bed?"
"Why did you let the dogs bark in the main hall? If others see this, the rules and respect of the Wang family will be lost."
Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Lu who spoke and said.
Aunt Lu wanted to speak but her daughter pulled her sleeves. She gave up when she saw the gloomy expression on Wang Yuanwai's face.
She just talks about being happy, but who doesn't know that her daughter is looking for life and death for a half-hearted Liang Xiucai, and now the marriage has been broken off, and the master has been eyeing the young talents in the town recently.
I heard that people around the master have gone to check out Wu Xiucai’s reputation in Taijia Village.
Wu Xiucai has outstanding literary talent and is very likely to be successful in this autumn's rural examination. However, Wu Xiucai's family is poor and his mother is sick and has no money.
If you pass the examination in the autumn siege, you will be the master of the examination, and after you marry, you will be the wife of an official. But such a good marriage had to fall on Wang Hanwei just because she was the eldest daughter.
It's so unfair, not to mention that such a good marriage has to be hanged and not married. It's really ignorant. Liang Xiucai, a man with poor skills, is really a perfect match for Wang Hanwei.
Wang Hanlan lowered her head when she saw Wang Yuanwai's gloomy expression, thinking that it would be better to make a fuss, but it would fall on her to have such a good marriage.
"You don't need to say it. Since she doesn't want me so much, she's also afraid that she will offend her son-in-law. If she wants to stick to it, then she will give you the marriage certificate and let Han Lan marry her. But she won't recognize me when the time comes. Dad, I can't afford to be embarrassed like this." Wang Yuanwai glanced at Mrs. Wang, put down the bowl and chopsticks with a dark face, stood up and left.
Wang Hanlan was happy in her heart but still lowered her head and did not dare to show it. On the contrary, Aunt Lu's eyes lit up and she became arrogant as soon as Wang Yuanwai left.
"Some people don't have the fate of wealth and honor, unlike my Hanlan who was born to be an official wife." Aunt Lu put down the bowl and chopsticks pretentiously, held up the hairpin and stretched out her hand, but there was no handrail from the maid beside her.
"Everything you can't see should be sold to you!" Aunt Lu yelled, and then the maid reacted and supported her hand.
"That's the deal. Be careful of the official wife flying away. I am the mistress of the Wang family. Just acting like a fox." Mrs. Wang stabbed Aunt Lu and glanced at Aunt Kang and Aunt Liu who were present.
Aunt Kang was brought up by her uncle and gave birth to a daughter, Wang Hanzhi, who was as submissive and transparent as her mother.
Aunt Liu was a brothel's brothel. She was brought into the Wang family and gave birth to a daughter, Wang Hanmei, and now she is pregnant with another child.
Wang Yuanwai has been very concerned about the Liu family recently, and he is looking forward to having a son to inherit the family business.
They were careless. Mrs. Wang and Yuan Wang had known each other since childhood, but now they had long lost their expectations and just lived with their daughter.
As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Aunt Lu seemed to be reminded that they were all concubines whose marriages were undecided, and she didn't know who would be blamed. Wu Xiucai has the best chance of winning the election. Hanzhi and Hanmei are also old enough to marry.
Qi Yuan asked Xiaolan to take the message and stopped paying attention to the Wang family's situation. Anyway, if Wang Hanwei is willing to wait until the filial piety is over, Qi Yuan can come to propose marriage, and treating each other as guests can be regarded as fulfilling the client's wish.
The world was not seriously affected by Xu Yin's luck, and she did not need to repair it. Fulfill the client's wish and treat it as recuperating and relaxing.
As usual, Qi Yuan went to the tombs of the Liang family's parents in the back mountain to read and observe filial piety until it got late.
Eating the noodles made by 888, I had to sigh that it would be nice to have some space after getting my belongings back.
"Wangcai, have you finished watering? Come on, come on, eat the noodles quickly. Remember to wash the fruit after you eat it." Qi Yuan pushed the peach he took out from the space on the table and stood up.
888: You are the source of wealth! Two people can eat it, and it can be cooked by one person. Wow, oh, oh, oh, it’s too bullying.
"Okay, big, no problem." 888 could only think about it in his mind, but on the surface, he still had to hug his thighs obediently.
Unknowingly, more than half a month has passed. Qi Yuan regulates his body every day and has space to nourish himself with those fruits. He can already feel the energy.
At least I won't be out of breath after walking a few more steps like I did at the beginning.
"Liang Xiucai, I brought you some rice and noodles." Before noon, Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu came to the door carrying a bag of stuff.
888's eyes lit up and he quickly followed Qi Yuan to the door.
Opening the door, Zhang Daniu put down the bag and said, "Liang Xiucai, these coarse grains were all exchanged for money. The rice and noodles given by the government are also in the bag. Please check to see if there is any."
"Yes, look at it. We don't know how to read, so we pressed our fingerprints to get it for you." Zhang Erniu put down the things and continued. In addition to the rice, flour and whole grains he carried, the two brothers went to the market on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I was carrying things to sell, so I was very tired and sweating profusely.
"Come, let's drink some water and take a rest." 888 took a bowl and poured some cold water into it and handed it to the two of them.
"This is prosperity, right? You cousins don't have to worry about hard times together. Your cousin has a lot of strength at first glance." Zhang Daniu was also straightforward, took the water, drank it in one gulp, and patted 888 on the shoulder.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Look after each other. Wangcai carries the things in and returns the bags to others."
"Okay, sir." 888 responded, picking up a bag of grain in one hand and entering the house.
The two Zhang brothers were dumbfounded, "Liang Xiucai, is your cousin born with supernatural powers? We brothers have to carry a bag each."
Zhang Daniu handed the empty bowl to Qi Yuan and praised him.
Liang Xiucai was a scholar, and he was the only one left in the Liang family. He couldn't carry it with his shoulders or lift it with his hands. Now that he has a cousin who is born with supernatural powers to take care of him, life becomes easier.
"No, no, I just have a little strength. Wait a moment, I'll go in and take a look." Qi Yuan explained while holding two empty bowls.
"It's okay, Liang Xiucai, you go and have a look. We're not in a hurry." Zhang Erniu said, standing under the shade of a tree with a straw hat fanning the wind.
Qi Yuan nodded and entered the house, and quickly took out the cloth bag, which contained a small bag of thin noodles.
Such fine grain is a valuable thing, and one would be reluctant to buy it without some status and money.
"Can you two help me carry this food? It's up to you two to help us keep filial piety at home. You can take these fine noodles back."
Qi Yuan smiled and handed the thin noodles packed in a cloth bag to Zhang Daniu.
