Blessed Daughter

"Brother Xu, what kind of status will Ruo'er have in the future, and whether she will be respected by her husband's family after marriage? Her father and brother have played a big role. As long as the Wei family is strong, as long as my father and I can have a place in the court, Even if she is a widow, she can live a peaceful and smooth life in the future. Conversely, even if she can marry a good marriage now, she may not be able to live happily in the future. "

Xu Fengyuan froze in place, not knowing how to answer.

Wei Yichen continued: "Brother Xu, everything in the world is difficult. If you want to protect what you love and punish what you hate, you must have the ability to match it. You will try once every three years, and if you miss it, you will have to wait another three years. I was confused and missed the opportunity."

After listening to Wei Yichen's words, Xu Fengyuan suddenly found that he really seemed to be a little impulsive.

"I see, brother Yichen, I really didn't think carefully about this matter, thank you brother Yichen for your guidance."

Xu Fengyuan bowed his hands and expressed his gratitude to Wei Yichen.

Then he bid farewell and left Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, returned to his temporary residence in the capital, turned around and went to study and prepare for the exam.

Wei Ruo is looking at the account books in his own room, and there is still a lot of work to be done when Yueju is about to open.

Raw material cost, labor cost, sales strategy, all aspects must be considered thoroughly.

"Miss, a letter has been delivered from Tongde Hall." Xiumei walked in and brought back the news from outside.

"How to say?"

"The previous two batches of medicines are all sold out, especially the skin care cream, which sells very well and is deeply loved by the wives and ladies of various families. The supply is in short supply."

"That's good."

"There is also the scar-removing ointment that the lady consigned in Tongdetang. People have asked for it several times, but no one has bought it yet."

"Well, I see."

As expected, she deliberately set the price of the ointment at an outrageously high price, not to make people buy it.

"Miss, I heard that the second lady has gotten very close to the second lady recently, do you think the second lady will lend money to buy ointment for the second lady?" Xiumei asked.

The second wife, Mrs. Bai, was born in a family of merchants. Her grandfather was once a wealthy family. Although she later declined, and because her father was the second son, she only received 20% of her grandfather's property, she was still much richer than ordinary families.

So Uncle Zhongyi's mansion has no money, but the Bai family is rich personally, and she has a generous dowry.

In recent years, Wei Mingyong has frequently failed in business and suffered repeated losses, all of which are covered by Mrs. Bai's own dowry.

If Wei Qingwan really wanted to buy the ointment that Wei Ruo placed in Tongdetang, she could only turn to Bai's for help.

"If she can't borrow money, then she can only watch the ointment right in front of her eyes, but she can't get it. This feeling is more uncomfortable than not having the ointment; If I buy this ointment, then I will earn her two thousand taels for a box of ointment, just thinking about it makes me happy!"

In short, Wei Ruo is happy whether Wei Qingwan buys it or not.

After hearing Wei Ruo's answer, Xiumei nodded repeatedly, and then took out a letter from her bosom: "By the way, Miss, this is a letter from Miss Xie."

Wei Ruo immediately took it over and looked at it.

"Miss, what did Miss Xie say?"

"Yingying said she would come to see me in two days."

"That's great!"

"Well, prepare more delicious food then." Wei Ruo is also looking forward to the reunion with Xie Ying.

Wei Ruozheng was talking with Xiumei, and outside the door Cuiping came to invite her on behalf of Yunshi.

"Miss, Madam asked the servants to come and invite Miss."

"okay, I get it."

Wei Ruo didn't know why Yun asked him to go there, so it was right to go anyway.

Wei Ruo followed Cuiping to Anxin Pavilion, Yun's residence in Uncle Zhongyi's mansion.

This house is slightly smaller than the old lady's Shou'an Hall, but it is still much more spacious than their residence in Taizhou Mansion.

When Wei Ruo entered the room, she saw Wei Qingwan. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip, she didn't look very good.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Yun said, "Ruoer, let's take a look, these are the dowry my mother prepared for you."

On the table on Yun's right hand side are two newly made mahogany red lacquer boxes about one foot long and half a foot wide.

Wei Ruo walked up to Mrs. Yun, and saw two boxes containing silver ingots and some jewelry, as well as house deeds and land deeds.

The contents of the two boxes look similar.

Yun said: "There are not many things, but mother has tried to give you the best."

Wei Ruo didn't speak, she didn't know whether to accept these things.

According to her own temperament, she didn't want these things from Yun's family, but the moment she saw these things, some images of the original owner appeared in her mind.

The original owner had suffered for more than ten years, but in the end he didn't get Yun's care and love, so he should at least take some money, which was better than letting Yun's give it all to Wei Qingwan.

Just as Wei Ruo was thinking, Wei Qingwan said, "Mother, Second Aunt is willing to help me, why don't you agree?"

"Wanwan, you are confused, two thousand taels of silver, is it worth buying a box of ointment with so much money?" Yun said earnestly.

It seems that before Wei Ruolai, Wei Qingwan and Yun Shi were discussing this issue, and the discussion did not go very smoothly.

"Why isn't it worth it? It's fine if I marry an ordinary family. Now I'm going to be King Yu's side concubine. If there are scars on my back, how can I be favored and how can I survive in the palace?" Wei Qingwan's eyes With tears in his eyes, he questioned loudly.

Yun's mood is complicated. There was such a big incident in the mansion that day. Her husband almost beat Wanwan to death. It is a kindness to save her life. How can she care about whether there will be scars on her back if she uses the family law? .

It's just that who would have thought that there would be such a change behind this, making Wanwan the side concubine of King Yu, causing the scars on her back left by the family law to become a big problem.

The scar is indeed a problem but the ointment is too expensive! They were reluctant to buy the first one hundred taels of boxes, and the two thousand taels was simply a money grab!

Wei Qingwan continued: "I don't want my mother to take this money out to me now, but my second aunt is willing to lend me the money, why is my mother so reluctant to let go?"

Yun sighed and said: "Your second aunt lent you money, and you are required to write an IOU, and you will return it in full in the future! May I ask where you will get the money to pay her back in the future?"

Wei Qingwan said: "I will figure out what to do at that time! At most, I will sell the dowry and return it to her!"

"You don't know your second aunt yet. Both she and your second uncle are not pure-minded, and they put their interests first. If you lend her so much money, it may be a big trouble for you!" Yun said.

"My daughter doesn't understand. Mother, my daughter is in trouble. My second aunt is willing to help me. Even if she has the heart of a businessman and wants to benefit from her daughter, why not? It's better than indifferently caring about her daughter's life." Right?" Wei Qingwan questioned.
