Sheng Guoer agreed to summon Lu Wanqing.
After Lu Wanqing entered the Meng Mansion, she saw a strange woman talking to Sheng Guoer. She thought there was another competitor, her expression changed, but then she asked with a smile: "Who is this?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Oh, this is my sister-in-law, Meng Heyou's wife, Mrs. Wang!"
When Lu Wanqing heard that she was not here to discuss business with Sheng Guoer, but a relative of hers, she felt relieved and bowed slightly: "It turns out she is Mr. Meng's wife. I'm so rude!"
Mrs. Wang returned the courtesy and said, "You're too polite. May I ask who you are?"
Sheng Guoer introduced: "This is the daughter of the Lu family in the capital. She also came from Xifeng Village before. The Lu family is our pride!"
Mrs. Wang said: "Oh, she turns out to be a daughter of a famous family. How disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Lu Wanqing smiled and said: "Sister, you are really polite to others. I am lucky to know you."
After finishing speaking, Lu Wanqing took off the jasper bracelet on her wrist, smiled and stepped forward to take Wang's hand, and put the jasper bracelet on Wang's snow-white wrist.
"Sister, this is my sister's greeting gift. Look, this bracelet suits you so well. I finally found the owner today!"
Lu Wanqing's operation was equivalent to giving Sheng Guoer face. Wang didn't dare to ask for it and said hurriedly: "Sister, this is too expensive. It's the first time that I meet my sister. How can I ask for such an expensive gift?"
Lu Wanqing smiled and said: "I am a generous person. You are Guo'er's younger brother and sister, that is also my younger brother and sister. Guo'er and I are good friends. Besides, I saw the indescribable joy in your heart, so I It’s like I’m a sister I haven’t seen for many years, so just accept it!”
Sheng Guoer looked at Lu Wanqing's operation and admired it in her heart. She was really ruthless. In order to gain her trust, she even won over the people around her.
Lu Wanqing didn't look at Sheng Guoer, but was talking to Mrs. Wang sincerely. Sheng Guoer said to her heart, I'll see what you do next!
Sheng Guoer had seen a lot of green tea in modern times, and Lu Wanqing was considered a master of green tea and white flowers when it was made so fresh and refined.
Why does Sheng Guoer have such thoughts about Lu Wanqing? It's because after Lu Wanqing's visit, Sheng Guoer sent someone to the capital to find out about Lu Wanqing's details.
Sheng Guoer also knew a little about Lu Wanqing's plan to start her own business and her unwillingness to live under others for a long time. She admired an ancient woman for having the mentality to plan for herself, but she disagreed with Lu Wanqing's likes to do things. Pretending to be innocent, pretending to be pitiful, even a little hypocritical.
You can talk about anything openly without being secretive, so Sheng Guoer's first impression of Lu Wanqing was very bad.
Lu Wanqing could communicate openly with Sheng Guoer, but she always liked to make insinuations and win over the hearts and minds of people around Sheng Guoer. She must have thought that as long as the people around her gave her a hint, she would agree.
Little did she know that Sheng Guoer resented others using their relatives to threaten her, whether it was gentle threats or forceful threats. In short, Sheng Guoer would never allow such a thing to happen to her.
When Lu Wanqing saw that Sheng Guoer had no expression, she felt a little confused in her heart, which meant that she still didn't feel that she had a clear idea of Sheng Guoer's thoughts.
Lu Wanqing then asked her servants to bring a box. This box was very delicate. When opened, there were some pearl-like things inside.
Wang's eyes lit up, but Sheng Guoer said very calmly: "Miss Lu, what advice do you have?"
Lu Wanqing said: "Guo'er, we are all women. I am not here to discuss business this time, but simply to see you and bring you some nourishing pills. These are very good for your body." . I got it from the imperial doctor. It is said that if you take this medicine regularly, you can have a manly appearance!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately became interested. She was currently pregnant and desperately wanted to give birth to a boy.
Sheng Guoer smiled. She understood that Lu Wanqing must have found out that she was worried about her child, so she sent these pills.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Lu, but my sister-in-law needs these things more now. She is already pregnant with Liujia, so let's give them to her!"
Those words were like a slap in the face to Lu Wanqing. Lu Wanqing swallowed and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, originally, this is for Guo'er and your family, so that's fine."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Yes, you see that you and my siblings have hit it off right away, so this thing should be given to her. Besides, you said it yourself, this thing is not just for me, but for her." Our family. On behalf of our family, especially my siblings, thank you for your help and gifts!"
Lu Wanqing was shocked: "Don't these words mean that Sheng Guo'er actually cares about what he said? He made a mistake. He originally wanted to ease the embarrassment, but Sheng Guo'er understood that he didn't mean it!"
Lu Wanqing thought that she should leave quickly. If she continued talking, she would probably have to be kicked out.
Therefore, Lu Wanqing said: "You're welcome, um, I still have something to do at home, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now!"
Wang said: "I'll give it to you!"
Sheng Guoer suddenly said: "Brother and sister, if you are inconvenient, you should let me go and see you off!"
Sheng Guoer's move surprised Lu Wanqing: "Isn't she angry? How could she send me off in person? Does she want to talk to me alone?"
Lu Wanqing suddenly felt that Sheng Guoer was really difficult to figure out. She treated him hot and cold. What on earth did Sheng Guoer want to do?
The two stood up and walked to the door together. Lu Wanqing asked with a smile: "Guo'er, do you want to tell me something?"
But Sheng Guoer said: "Nothing, I'm just sending you to the door. Miss Lu, goodbye!"
After saying that, Sheng Guoer bowed deeply, turned and left.
Lu Wanqing's heart was constantly disturbed by Sheng Guoer. What on earth did she want?
When Sheng Guoer returned to the room, Mrs. Wang asked: "Sister-in-law, although I am stupid, I can see that Miss Lu really wants to be friends with you. Why are you so cold and hot to me?" ?”
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "You can see it too, so I might as well tell you that she is begging me for something, that's why she is like this. This person is very scheming. She wants to use the people around me to blackmail me. If If I agreed, it would be tantamount to falling into her trap. This woman's power is very deep, and I couldn't agree without investigating it clearly."
Wang was still a little puzzled, so Sheng Guoer told her a story.
In ancient times, there was a man named Gong Yixiu who became the prime minister of the State of Lu. Gong Yixiu liked to eat fish. People all over the State of Lu rushed to buy fish as offerings to him, but Gong Yixiu refused.
One day, his disciple was very curious and asked: "Why do you like to eat fish but don't accept fish given to you by others?"
Gongyixiu said: "It's because I like to eat fish that I don't accept fish given to me by others. If I accept fish given by others, I will definitely not dare to blame others. If I am led by others, I will not dare to blame others." If you ask for someone's performance, you will break the law; if you violate the law, you will be removed from the position of prime minister; if you are removed from the position of prime minister, then although I like to eat fish, these people will definitely not be able to give me fish. At this time, I will I can no longer provide fish for myself. If I don’t accept the fish given to me by others and am not removed from the position of prime minister, even if I don’t accept the fish given by others, I can still have the salary to provide myself with fish.”
After telling the story, Sheng Guoer said: "This is why it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others; it is better to understand that it is better to make plans for yourself than to make plans for yourself when others are planning for you."
Wang looked at Sheng Guo'er with admiration and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to know so many truths!"
Sheng Guoer thought to himself, these are all fables told in elementary school!
But Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Wang asked: "What if she gives me or other people something, and these people come to give you something? If you don't agree, won't you lose the face of your relatives and friends?"
Sheng Guoer pondered for a moment and said, "Then let me ask you a few questions. Who is actually in charge of this family now? Are all my family, friends and subordinates people who do not cherish old grudges?"
Wang thought for a while and said: "I understand, even if you disagree, we won't say anything to you, because everyone trusts you, so as long as sister-in-law explains the reason for the matter clearly, I believe everyone will not be criticized. This woman is bewitched.”
Sheng Guoer shook her head and said: "No, it's not good to say some things too clearly. If you say it too clearly, if you offend Miss Lu, wouldn't you be setting up an enemy for yourself? I'm just pretending to be confused." , when will you see Lu Wanqing clearly, when will you make a decision again!"
Mrs. Wang cupped her hands and said, "No wonder my father-in-law left the family business to my sister-in-law to manage. My sister-in-law's wisdom is really beyond ordinary people. My sister admires it!"
Sheng Guoer waved her hand and said, "Your elder brother and I often exchange ideas on how to behave in the world. Your elder brother also taught many tactics. In other words, we are learning from each other!"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It seems that my eldest brother would be extremely happy if he heard what my sister-in-law said!"
After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Sheng Guoer said: "Brother and sister, please don't make any noise about Meng Heyou's matter. You are doing the right thing. It's better for me to know about it than not to know about it. Let Meng Heyou play tricks on Pei Minglun first. I'll wait until I've taken care of everything and made a clear decision before I make a decision, so just pretend to be confused!"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, please take these supplements back and give birth to a fat boy for our Meng family!"
At this moment, Mrs. Wang said mischievously: "Sister-in-law, you have to work hard too!"
Sheng Guoer spat: "Little girl, you got naughty with me!"
Wang stuck out her tongue and smiled.
After seeing Wang off, Sheng Guoer called Gou Zi.
"Shopkeeper, what do you want me to do?" Gouzi stood at the bottom with his hands down and asked respectfully.
Sheng Guoer asked, "Have you found all the people to go to Qifeng Mountain to collect white marble materials?"
Gouzi nodded and said: "We have found them, they are all from our Dongxiang Village, led by Song Silang!"
Sheng Guoer asked again: "Have the manpower been arranged to go to Yuqin Villa to collect those exotic flowers and fruits?"
Gouzi said: "It's all arranged. Brother Tieniu and I will lead the team together."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Very good, summer is coming soon, and the exotic flowers and fruits will come in handy. Ask the pastry shop to prepare it. I will send the secret recipe of the drink at any time and ask them to make it early. Prepare."
Gouzi said yes.
Sheng Guoer continued: "Also, the white marble construction materials must be placed in a reliable location first. They must be kept secret and cannot be known to outsiders. When Concubine Li Guifei builds the palace herself, we can use them to apply for the job."
Gouzi asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, how did you know that the imperial concubine came back to visit her and build a palace?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Of course I have my own information channels. You don't need to ask, just listen to my overall arrangements when the time comes. Go!"
Gouzi nodded and said, "Then I'm going to do something!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said "hmm", Gouzi bowed his hands, then turned and left.
At this moment, a misty spring rain started to fall in the sky. Sheng Guoer walked to the door, stretched out her jade hand and caught the raindrops, thinking endlessly.
