Chapter 923
Recently, the newspaper office has been in dire straits, and they, who have always had a good reputation, suddenly gained a lot of notoriety. If there is no way to deal with it, they really don't know what to do.

Everyone in the newspaper office who got the news packed up and came to the palace. At the same time, Mrs. Wen in the general's mansion only felt that there was a buzzing in her head, and a storm was about to come.

"Sister-in-law, if my brother is gone, you can just remarry without going through the family. You also took away our Jiang family. You have no reason."

The husband and wife came to the door, wearing brocade clothes that didn't suit them, maybe they were living a bad life. The man looked to be in his fifties, and the woman was about the same age. Her pair of hanging triangular eyes made her look very mean.

As soon as the two saw Mrs. Wen, they jumped up and blamed themselves, filled with righteous indignation and heartbroken, the man said viciously, "What a good man my brother is, his body is as strong as a cow, how could he just say he's gone?"

"This time we are here to seek an explanation for my brother, and to take away my brother's flesh and blood."

After the man finished talking about the woman, he added on the spot: "Forget it, I haven't heard of any daughter-in-law who can remarry on her own after entering the door. She has only been a widow for a few years. I think it's probably because my brother is still married." Hooked up while alive, bah, shameless."

"You are also decent people. A decent person can't do such a thing. If you don't give us an explanation for this matter, we will let everyone in the capital judge."

Mrs. Wen has experienced such a situation. Her remarriage is decided by the two families. The elder sister’s last wish did not pass through her husband’s family. She felt a little guilty for a while, and became flustered. He glanced at him, "It's true that my wife remarried, but before remarrying, she had never met anyone from Jiang's family, let alone heard that the late master had relatives. Today, the two of you came to the door to say yes?"

"Come here, please go down and rest. Whether it's true or not will be determined after our wife finds out."

A few guards stepped forward to invite the two with bad eyes. The fear in their eyes couldn't be hidden, but they still stiffened their necks and said, "We have inquired before we came. You are an incredible general's mansion. We are also afraid." You black-hearted people let us come and go, let me tell you, we have informed the people outside, if we don’t go back before dark, they will report to the authorities.”

Granny Hua, who rushed over, was just about to step forward when she saw Mrs. Wen Er who came in from the opposite door. She smiled and said before she walked in, "You are a guest when you enter the door. The two relatives who said they are sister-in-law, this relative entered. The door must be treated well, there is nothing harmful to say."

She was smiling all over her face, as if she was welcoming guests, "We have never met or heard of you two before, and we have to make some preparations when we come to the door suddenly. Our general's mansion is so big, we can't say who is right. Relatives will recognize it, right?"

"You two, don't worry, if we check it clearly, we will definitely not embarrass you. It is easy to discuss whether to give the family property for you to take away or give compensation money."

No matter how much the two pretended to be alike, they were shaken when they heard this. Mrs. Wen said to the waiter, "Please invite the two of you to have a rest, and get some good wine and food to serve you. It’s definitely not easy getting here.”

"If the identities of the two of you are correct, it will be more appropriate to live in the mansion then, then I don't know if the inn outside is clean or noisy, isn't it?"

"Our General's Mansion is the most hospitable."

The two of them became even more excited when they heard this. There is a lot of wealth in the general's mansion, but they couldn't think of anything to suppress this thought, "We will allow you some effort."

The two of them settled down for the time being, and they all went to the academy. Mrs. Wen glanced at Mrs. Wen with displeasure. Mrs. Wen lowered her head subconsciously, but it was the second Mrs. Wen who spoke first, " These two people are not friendly, don't care if they are from my sister-in-law's former husband's family, their attitudes are very strange."

Mrs. Wen looked at her, "How should I say it?"

Mrs. Wen Er talked about her own judgment, "Both of them are haggard and old, with big hands. They must have lived a bad life at home, but they are wearing silk and satin clothes, which are brand new, and they can't match the clothes at all."

"Just now I asked the people below. After the two entered the door, the woman turned her neck and looked around, looking very surprised. The man whispered something in the ear, and the woman continued to look at it. It looks like it's a pity."

"Ordinary people who come to look for relatives must first confirm the identity of the person who came, and ask clearly first. The two of them blamed it as soon as the sister-in-law appeared. It was too urgent, as if deliberately making a big mess."

"And" Mrs. Wen Er said while thinking, "the two of them said that if the sun sets and they don't go back, someone will report to the government. Which family searcher would do such a thing?"

In short, everywhere is not in line with common sense.

Mrs. Li, who was serving Mrs. Wen, also corroborated Mrs. Wen's conjecture, thinking that it was a fake for the two to recognize their relatives, and the trouble was real.

Mrs. Wen said, "All the books are here?"

Mrs. Wen Er replied: "There is something wrong with the business outside, and they said they will come back at night."

The document has already figured out the way of the capital, and it is more and more convenient to do business. Now the whole second room is not the same as when it was just arrived in the capital. Mrs. Wen is very confident now. Her two sons are both serving as officials. There are still two months to get married, the son-in-law's family affairs are also good, and the husband can support the general affairs of the general's mansion, which is why Mrs. Wen Er can talk so much in front of the old lady.

"Have someone investigate the whereabouts of these two people immediately, and then try to stabilize these two people as much as possible."

Mrs. Wen Er also meant the same thing. She turned around and went to make arrangements. As soon as the old lady left, the old lady's eyes fell on Mrs. Wen again, and all the people who were waiting in the hall with one look backed out, and closed the door by the way. Kneeling down, she felt that she had brought trouble to the Wen family.

The old lady lowered her head, and took a deep breath after a while, "I thought you would improve after such a long time."

The old lady doesn't care about troubles, she only cares about this daughter-in-law's reaction and skill. She is really disappointed with this daughter-in-law now. She doesn't know that one day, this old woman will lose her eyes. How can you hold on to the General's Mansion.

Mrs. Wen's eyes were red, "It's the daughter-in-law who is stupid."

"You're stupid." The old lady didn't speak politely, "What you're thinking about right now is me blaming you for causing trouble to the manor?"

Mrs. Wen couldn't deny it, and the old lady let out a sigh of relief, "I tried my best to teach you, and I can see that you have tried your best to learn, but this person's temperament can't be changed after birth. If no one helps you today, How are you going to resolve this?"

The old lady had 1000 million regrets in her heart. Why did she agree to her daughter-in-law's last wish at the time? Or was it because the daughter-in-law was capable, and she thought that her elder sister was capable and her younger sister would be so bad?

I knew today
Hey.
"Back when you were bullied by those shrews in Yanzi Lane, it was Mianmian who came forward to settle those people. Now you are being bullied by two rogues who don't know what to say, and you still have no way to deal with it."

"You are the general's mansion and the mistress of the Hou's mansion. Your husband is a prominent general when he is away, and he is a powerful marquis. You want everyone in the capital to know that his wife has no ideas. A soft persimmon with no rules?"

"You can let the market popper point your nose and scold, you are shameless, and the general's mansion is also shameless?"

The old lady was very helpless, she tried her best, but there was nothing she could do.

Mrs. Wen was said to be ashamed, and she tried her best, but some things really need talent.

The old lady glanced at her, "Get up, tell me about the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family?"

Wen Mianmian, who managed to lull the two brothers and sisters to sleep, moved her shoulders, "Is it related to the Jiang family of the second sister-in-law's family?"

Nanny Fang lowered her voice, "It's an irreconcilable relationship, it's just a surname. I heard that the person next door said it was not good, it seems like it was premeditated."

What Nanny Fang didn't say was that the mother-in-law who sent her the message said that Mrs. Wen couldn't speak a single word after being scolded three times by the other party, and she didn't have the decency and courage that Mrs. Hou should have.

If you want to say that she shouldn't go to see it in person, is it because she, the Marquis Mansion, needs to see it in person even if anyone comes to the door?
What do so many women in charge of the general's mansion do?

As a servant, she can only say this in her heart, not clearly.

Wen Mianmian was interested and asked a few more questions. When she asked Nanny Fang, she could only tell the truth. Wen Mianmian frowned, "When Qu Ming comes back, let him arrange someone to investigate the details of those two people."

The timing was too coincidental.

Just as Qing Lan came to report that Qu Ming had brought the newspaper staff, the teller was optimistic that Wen Mianmian, the brother and sister, went to the front yard.

At this moment, the eyebrows of the newspaper staff were anxious, "Cousin, now the rumors outside are rampant, and our people can't stop it. If this continues, we have prepared a few ways to deal with it, and we will give you Tell me?"

Wen Mianmian asked them to sit down first, "I've been busy these days, so I'd better tell me about the outside situation first, and whether there is anything else besides those rumors."

Guanshi Deng cupped his hands, "The paper we ordered from Jiangnan was about to arrive in the capital, but the cabin was flooded and it was all ruined."

"Several paper mills signed in the capital have recently had accidents one after another. Either they almost ran out of water or the papermaker injured his hand while walking on the road, which more or less affected the goods we wanted, and now they are all supported by the previous inventory. "

Xie Ming added, "There was also an accident in the printing workshop. Two capable old masters suddenly stopped doing anything. After our investigation, we learned that someone was behind the scenes and moved the printing master's family."

"Also." Xie Ming clenched his fists, "We built a latrine in the name of the newspaper, and there was a problem. Someone was still squatting inside and suddenly a wall fell down. Now people say that we are trying to gain fame."

"The merchants who originally negotiated with us to invite us to promote have also started to go back one after another. If we go like this, we can only live on our laurels."

Wen Mianmian lowered her head and smiled lightly. None of them could bring down the newspaper, but all of them made people feel irritable. There are too many lice and ticklish. What are those people thinking?
Guanshi Deng handed over, "Princess, the current situation is not good for us. If we have no countermeasures, I am afraid that those black hands will be more arrogant. After we discussed it, we decided to issue a newspaper for free to explain one or two, and then arrange more people to reverse it." situation."

"Do you think this is feasible?"

Wen Mianmian raised her eyes, "The explanation at this time is just a cover-up, but it's getting darker and darker. People who don't know think we are guilty."

"Newspapers continue to be distributed, the number is reduced by half, and a newspaper is raised to ten cents."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, the price will increase at this time?
In the first issue, [-] copies were issued, and later it was increased to [-] copies. Now, [-] copies are issued in the first issue. How many people are there in Beijing?
According to the latest statistics last month, there were more than 13 households. According to a household of five people, that is a population of tens of thousands of people, and the real number is far more than that. There are hundreds of people in large households. Dividing the newspapers is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

"There are already a lot of voices asking us to increase the number of voices. Will there be more voices of criticism at this time?"

"It's still added, but it's easy to say." Fu Li was very unhappy, "It seems to be just a newspaper, but how much is involved behind it?"

"In fact, the price increase is necessary. The paper we buy is getting more and more expensive. It doesn't mean that people deliberately increase the price because they see that we want more, and their capital has also gone up."

"We have been losing money on this one, so it might as well have gone up. Those who are reluctant to part with one or two pennies can expect them to buy something after reading the newspaper?"

"You know that old newspapers are collected in the city and sold as calligraphy paper for others, and everyone pays a penny for each."

Wen Mianmian didn't like this one, since she wanted to accept the advertisement, she still needed a basic disk, but this time and that time.

With a smile on the corner of his lips, he looked up at a few worried people, "We can't do it ourselves, we have to let people outside know what we have encountered."

"Cousin, go back today and write a story about repaying kindness with grievances. It should not be too long but it should be thought-provoking. It should wake up the dreamer with one word, and post it together in the next issue."

"To act as if nothing has been said, yet everything has been said."

"Boss Deng, please summarize the difficulties and problems you just mentioned and write them in the newspaper. The important thing is to give them a reason to increase the price. Since you think ten cents is too expensive, let's go for five cents."

"Don't explain too much about the rest. When the toilet is down, people will be allocated money to cover it, and if there are any problems, they will be solved. When I go out, I will feel aggrieved but I just don't talk about it. What should I do?"

"Let those people below shut up, now is not the time for them to argue."

Those who can enter the newspaper are all smart people. After a little thought, they know the intention of their princess. If it is miserable, it will be extremely miserable.

Guanshi Deng felt that the pressure on his heart was relieved a lot. "It's better to have more literate people in the city. Why don't we find more capable people these days, expand the printing workshop later, and support a few paper workshops. up."

Their newspaper office must go up to a higher level.

Wen Mianmian smiled and said, "I've been thinking about how to make the newspaper go one step further. Now is an opportunity. It depends on whether we can seize it."

Everyone bowed their hands, "I will definitely do my best."
