Seeing the two people coming in, Zhao Chuan and Deng Niazhi stood up quickly.
Deng Ninzhi didn't open any pot. She smiled and asked Han Yu'er, "Miss Han, when did you come to Qinzhou?"
"It's been more than a year." Han Yu'er said sadly.
"How are you, Mr. Han?" Zhao Chuan asked, adding a pinch of salt.
Han Yuer was silent.
"Why didn't Qin'er come?" Zhao Chuan smiled and asked again.
"Serving the old lady." Han Yu'er said perfunctorily, looking haggard.
"Well, Sister Shu Lan is treating us today. Let's have a good chat. Who else wants to have dinner with us besides Cui'er?" Zhao Chuan pretended to be relaxed.
"No more." Han Yu'er said weakly.
A group of five people requested a private room.
Five people, all with different mentality.
Although Cheng Shulan was worried, she did not lose her grace.
After all, Han Yu'er was a good friend in Qincheng. Deng Ninzhi originally thought that Miss Han was more noble, but she didn't expect that her husband was her secret lover for many years. She suddenly felt that she was pretty awesome too, and her sense of superiority rose sharply.
As for Cheng Shulan's worries about whether to share her husband with her in the future, she actually doesn't care at all.
The atmosphere at the dinner was cheerful and good, and the relationship between the several people seemed to be as close as sisters.
I haven’t seen you for more than two years. Han Yu'er has changed a lot and seems to have grown up a lot.
Zhao Chuan could not say anything in the presence of Cheng Shulan and Deng Ninzhi.
Because of the relationship between Zhao Chuan and these people, he was afraid that they would be sensitive, so he was naturally very careful about what he said.
Zhao Chuan couldn't say anything for a moment, so he turned around and began to study the maid Cui'er. Not only was this girl a little younger than Qin'er, but her personality was not as aggressive as Qin'er.
Zhao Chuan was indeed a little attracted to Han Yu'er at the beginning, but due to the disparity in her status, he was in a state of panic all day long. How could he feel like a bereaved dog?
But now that he has three wives, how dare he cause trouble again.
But in the face of Yu'er's infatuation, who can't help feeling compassion?
If Yu'er can get out of her emotional misunderstanding and clear the relationship at the same time, then everyone will be happy.
But the key is how to cheer up Yu'er now and regain her courage in life?
Zhao Chuan thought for a while and said, "Miss Han, you have been in Qincheng for such a long time, so you should know that I am in Qincheng, right?"
After hearing this, Han Yu'er hesitated for a moment before speaking: "When I first came here, I didn't have a stable footing and had no time to care about him. Although I got together with Mrs. Cheng from time to time, I never asked about my husband. Besides, the world is so big, who would have thought that you are also in Qin?" city."
Deng Ninzhi sighed after hearing this, saying that life is impermanent.
"Yes, things often happen by coincidence. Since we are both in Qincheng, and you and Sister Shu Lan are good friends, I hope to move around more in the future." Deng Ninzhi said.
Before Han Yuer could speak, Deng Ninzhi immediately said: "Miss Han, I have enough time, you can come and play with me."
"Well, since you are so enthusiastic, the operation of my business here has gone smoothly. The specific matters will be taken care of by my servants. I will visit Mr. Zhao and the two wives." Han Yu'er replied politely.
Cheng Shulan said: "Last time, when we moved to a new house and invited you to visit our humble home, you were not able to appreciate it. You just sent someone to send you a congratulatory gift. In a few days, I must go and see you, and I must treat you well to thank Miss Han for your kindness. Our care.”
"Yes, yes, Miss Han also gave Deng Ninzhi a jade bracelet inlaid with gold flowers. We haven't had time to thank her yet!" Zhao Chuan also struck while the iron was hot.
"Oh, they are just small gifts, not worth mentioning." Han Yu'er said lightly.
After chatting for a while, the maids came over to refill the tea.
Cheng Shulan didn't speak for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.
"How did Miss Han and our husband know each other?" Cheng Shulan finally asked after holding back for a long time.
Cheng Shulan finally asked the question he was concerned about.
Who is Han Yu'er? When she woke up and saw these people, she had an idea in her mind, so she answered them truthfully.
Because they all talked openly and honestly, there was no barrier in the outcome of the communication.
Although it is more difficult at the beginning, women warm up to women quickly.
So when we parted, we agreed that Miss Han would visit Puji Hall in a few days.
On the way back, Cheng Shulan asked: "When we were in Yangshan, was that Korean bank owned by his family?"
"Yes!" Zhao Chuan said readily.
"Why should I give you the jade medal?" Cheng Shulan asked.
"Well, well, how should I put it? If I say that it will cost a lot of money to make alchemy, do you believe it?" Zhao Chuan looked at Cheng Shulan and said seriously.
Cheng Shulan was speechless after hearing this, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Is the jade plaque still there?" Cheng Shulan asked again after a moment.
"Yes." Zhao Chuan replied.
But after answering, he immediately wanted to bite off his tongue. In fact, the jade token had been returned to the person. He didn't know why he wanted to answer but it was still in his hand.
This jade tablet is not only a token of money for Ren Jue, but also an heirloom for the head of the Han family.
Zhao Chuan was hesitating about how to take back what he just said and how to say it again, saying that the jade token was not in his hand.
But Deng Ninzhi hurriedly asked: "What kind of jade plaque is it? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Cheng Shulan said calmly: "That jade medal is very powerful. Go to the bank and withdraw as much as you want."
"Really? Husband, can you give me the jade token? Will it be very inconvenient to use money in the future?" Nian Zhi started to get nervous again.
"You, you can't speak out of your mind. The favor you owe must be repaid. Who would give someone money casually?" Zhao Chuan glared at her and didn't want to continue talking about this matter.
A few days later, Han Yuer came to visit as expected.
Zhao Chuan and others naturally showed warm hospitality.
At this time, Han Yu'er is no longer the shy girl she used to be. She has become exquisite and clear, and can deal with people and things with ease.
After all, she comes from a noble family and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Unexpectedly, Deng Ninzhi and Han Lingyu met each other so late that they spent half a day together in the painting and calligraphy studio.
However, Zhao Chuan naturally had to accompany him during the meal. The people walking back and forth at the wine table affectionately referred to each other as brother and sister, as if they were part of a family.
Han Yu'er told Zhao Chuan not to call me Yu'er anymore. I am not the same person now. You should call me Han Lingyu.
Zhao Chuan smiled and said yes.
Han Lingyu said that the silk and satin shop had a new batch of fabrics, and wanted to ask Cheng Shulan to have a look and then stay with her for a drink.
Zhao Chuan said yes, I have no objection.
The next day, Han Lingyu sent his servants to invite him.
This time Han Lingyu held a family dinner, and the two sisters drank and chatted alone.
At the beginning, Cheng Shulan was more cautious.
However, after three rounds of drinking, the topic came up. Unfortunately, we were both women and had similar emotional experiences, so Cheng Shulan actually burst into tears several times during the dinner.
The Han family had already investigated Cheng Shulan's situation, so Han Lingyu naturally pretended not to know, and was squeezed out by Ling Yu like toothpaste. Even Deng Ninzhi was forced to marry by the Taoist priest after being examined for medical treatment, and they only met after they got married. Han Lingyu also tricked him into this matter.
However, Han Lingyu was also in tears, saying that in those days, not only the body was looked at, but also the body was touched, and how a woman would face her husband in the future...
As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting there was stunned. They didn't expect that Zhao Chuan was actually such a good healer.
Naturally, Cheng Shulan would not forget that she and Zhao Chuan were married and then both were driven out of the house.
Women have ups and downs, and their fates lead to the same destination. Cheng Shulan felt that Ling Yu's fate was even more miserable than her own.
As they talked, everyone was sighing and almost crying.
At this time, Han Lingyu said that there was a matchmaker in the family, and the family was in a hurry. She asked her sister to help delay it for a while, and then she could come up with a better plan. The long-term leader couldn't kneel down and cried bitterly.
"Get up, get up! How can sister help you?" Cheng Shulan panicked and hurriedly pulled Han Lingyu up.
Han Lingyu thought for a while and then slowly said that there was a way and she wondered if her sister would be willing to help.
Cheng Shulan asked her to speak quickly, saying that she would definitely help anyone who could, as they were all good sisters, so why were they so polite to discuss it?
"Well, sister can write a letter of engagement and send it to her family. The family will definitely respond and will return it. It can take several months to go back and forth." Han Lingyu looked at Cheng Shulan and said firmly.
Cheng Shulan immediately agreed, and Ling Yu was overjoyed to thank him.
Cheng Shulan ate for a while and then went home.
The driver of Han Lingyu's family took Cheng Shulan home and reported the situation on the road to the owner when he came back.
But after Cheng Shulan came back and sobered up, she had a hunch that something was wrong.
But I have already agreed, how can I regret it? So I became worried and restless.
Cheng Shulan wanted to find someone to talk to someone about this matter in her heart, but she also thought it would be inappropriate to discuss such matters with someone. After all, it was a person's privacy.
Not long after, Han Lingyu and Mrs. Xu came to visit.
After everyone chatted for a while, Han Lingyu suddenly said: "Mrs. Xu, please sit down for a while. Shu Lan and I want to talk about something private."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want, I don't mind."
Cheng Shulan was pulled into the inner room by Han Lingyu.
Han Lingyu looked at Cheng Shulan and saw that she was full of doubts. She smiled and said, "I have prepared the engagement letter and gift list. Just arrange for signatures and deposits."
After that, Han Lingyu took out an exquisite gift box and said it was a thank you gift for Mrs. Xu, and asked Mrs. Xu to go to Jiangzhou as a matchmaker to deliver the engagement letter and gift list to the Han family.
The more Cheng Shulan listened, the more confused she became, and she was also at a loss.
Cheng Shulan saw Han Lingyu pointing at the letter of appointment and smiled slightly, so she had to take it and take a look. It turned out that the letter of appointment was issued in her own name, and she went to Han Lingyu's hometown to marry her to Zhao Chuan as a third wife.
Looking at the gift list again, Cheng Shulan was shocked. The gift list was full of rare treasures, and officials were not so generous in paying tribute to the emperor.
"Here, how can my family have these expensive gifts...?" Cheng Shulan stuttered a bit.
Han Lingyu smiled and said there was no need to prepare gifts. The Han family is a famous family in Jiangzhou. I am the eldest daughter of the Han family. The Han family will not marry Zhao Chuan as their third wife, so I won’t wait until you actually deliver the gift. The engagement letter will be here soon. return.
Cheng Shulan thought about it, what kind of family the Han family was, with banks all over the place. When I was shopping a few days ago, I saw a newly opened Korean bank in Qincheng.
Cheng Shulan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he had worried too much, and then felt relieved.
Then the two of them went out, briefly explained their intentions to Mrs. Xu, and presented the gift box. Mrs. Xu opened it and looked at it. She suddenly smiled and said repeatedly: "It's easy to say, easy to say. It's such a small thing, I feel very honored!"
