After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Wei Zi didn't want to go.

She calmly said: "Thank you, sister, for the invitation, but I'm not good at reciting poems and lyrics, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you if I go."

"What's the matter?" Wei Feifan said with a friendly face, "I'm not doing well either. Some other sisters, like the daughter of Li Shilang's family, can't even recite a complete seven-character poem, let alone We did it ourselves. We went there not to show our talents, but to see the land after the flood with our own eyes and appease the local people. This is a good thing to do good deeds, sister, don’t you want to refuse?”

"Go!" Mrs. Wei patted Wei Zi's arm with a smile, "You don't have any close friends in the capital, go out with your peers to see the world, and get to know a few more people, that's good!"

Wei Zi looked at his kind grandmother, unable to bear to disappoint her, so he nodded.

The itinerary for the trip is three days later.

Wei Zi didn't know what was going on outside the city, so he took the time to go to Xia Ku Yuan.

Zuo Hualing was holding a kitchen knife, and her round face was full of distress: "Boss, the prices of vegetables, meat, rice, and grains in the city have risen rapidly recently, and other restaurants and restaurants have increased prices, so I can only follow suit. But everyone If you don't go out, the number of guests who come to eat during this period has decreased by half... Now we still have a lot of vegetables and rice in the cellar, and it rains every now and then. I'm afraid that in a few days, those vegetables will rot in the cellar !"

Wei Zi heard the words and went straight to the cellar.

Sure enough, the sack was heavily filled with vegetables and rice grains.

Strips of pork, mutton, and fish were also hung on the iron hooks on the wall, probably salted for fear of spoilage in rainy weather.

A straw mat was spread in the corner, and a hill of cabbage was piled up on the mat.

Zuo Hualing picked and picked out a few rotten and moldy cabbages: "A few rotted yesterday, and some rotted today. Look, boss, these few have to be thrown away. The key point is that I told the vegetable merchant some time ago I placed a large order, and if I return it now, I will have to pay a large amount of compensation. When that batch of vegetables arrives, our warehouse will be full!"

Wei Zi thought for a while, and said: "During this time, please close the shop."

"Close the door?!" Zuo Hualing was surprised, "Then these dishes... Boss, you don't plan to let me eat alone?!"

"Where did you go?" Wei Zi laughed, and then said seriously, "I heard that there are thousands of refugees outside the city, let's set up a stall over there and give out food every day. Get rid of these rice dishes. The manpower and material resources consumed, I will use my own money to subsidize you."

The last time I sold the gorse cage that Xiao Fengxian gave me, I still had 1 taels left.

She has a family and a grandmother now, and she has nowhere to spend money.

Even if it's all spent, it's okay.

It should be doing good deeds for Xiao Fengxian.

When Wei Zi returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, he met Xiao Dujuan at the gate of the mansion.

Xiao Dujuan was not doing well during this time, his face was much haggard, not to mention, the bitter arrogance on his body also subsided.

Seeing Wei Zi's carriage approaching, she hurriedly greeted her with a shy smile: "Sister-in-law!"

Qingju disliked her: "Miss Xiao, be careful, my girl is not yet married, so how could she become your sister-in-law?"

Xiao Dujuan curled his lips secretly, but on the surface he could only make up for it: "Can I say something wrong? Sister Wei Zi, we have shared joys and sorrows in Shanyin County. How can the young lady you meet now compare Is it because we have a deep relationship?"

Wei Zi supported Qing Ju's hand and got off the carriage, and said calmly: "Did you come here to intercede for your brother?"

Xiao Dujuan choked.

She wanted to intercede, but she could think on her toes, knowing that Wei Zi would never forgive her brother.

Her brother is in a terrible situation now. He is confined in the Marquis Mansion of Changping. He is bullied and insulted by Sun Huangchan all day long, and he doesn't even dare to speak back!
The high-spirited and high-spirited servant of the Hanlin Academy has been reduced to a strict wife who sighs every day. She is sad for her brother but there is nothing she can do.

The Marquis of Changping looked down on their family, and even her marriage was not settled.

The mother knew how to care about her brother and nephew, but she refused to contribute to her future.

The family can't count on her, and she has no relatives in the capital, so she can only rely on Wei Zi.

She thought about it, and forced a smile on her face: "No, I didn't want to plead with him. He is just a bastard, and he has to be punished at home for half a year before he can reflect on his past mistakes!"

Wei Zi: "Then why are you looking for me?"

"I..." Xiao Dujuan lowered her head and shyly grabbed Ruqun, "Sister-in-law—oh no, Sister Wei Zi, you are now the eldest lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and you are not alone if you live in such a nice and big mansion." Is it? How about, how about I move here to live with you? I heard that the son of the world has not yet married, we have such a good relationship, as the saying goes, the rich and the water don’t flow to outsiders—”

"Xiao Dujuan."

Wei Zi interrupted her coldly.

Xiao Dujuan looked up in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"You have a really thick skin." Wei Zi showed no mercy, "Can you forget how your whole family treated me back then? It's a gift that I didn't kill you all for the time being. How dare you take your mind off On my brother's head?"

Being rejected in public, Xiao Dujuan was so ashamed and indignant that his face gradually turned as red as a pig's liver.

She gritted her teeth and said sharply: "What's so great about the Duke's Mansion?! Wei Zi, have you forgotten the days when you worked as a cow and a horse for our family?! Even if you forget those hard days, you can't forget you Your life was saved by our family! Wei Zi, you owe our family a life, and you will never pay off this debt in your life! I just want to be the wife of the prince, and I just ask you to help match the bridge, how dare you refuse?!"

She bared her teeth and claws, her facial features were distorted, as if she was about to pounce on Wei Zi and scratch her face in the next moment.

Qingju protected Wei Zi behind her, and said anxiously: "You are a crazy woman! What are you guards doing standing there, why don't you drive her away?!"

After all, he nervously protected Wei Zi and entered the Duke's Mansion.

"Come quickly, the government of the town is oppressing good people!"

Xiao Dujuan screamed and was dragged to the entrance of the alley by two guards, who threw her on the ground like a dead dog, spat at her, and then turned and left.

Xiao Dujuan got up and stared angrily at the direction of Zhen Guogong's mansion. Just as she was about to put her hips on her hips and curse, another carriage slowly stopped beside her.

The curtain was lifted, revealing a delicately painted little face.

Wei Feifan heard Xiao Dujuan's screams from a distance, and was annoyed at who dared to speak disrespectfully to her family. The moment she lifted the curtain, she saw it was Xiao Dujuan, and immediately concealed the cold murderous intent in her eyes, and tilted her head. With a smile: "Isn't this Miss Xiao?"

Xiao Dujuan quickly restrained her ferocious expression, and saluted her to say hello.

Wei Feifan was curious: "Are you looking for Wei Zi?"

"I..." Xiao Dujuan rolled his eyes and said aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, I originally wanted to ask her to take me to some banquets to see the world in the capital, but she refused, probably because she thought I came from a humble background. Poor our family for raising her for 12 years, it is really ungrateful!"

Wei Feishan was holding a round silk fan, malice flashed in Yuan Xing's eyes, and then she smiled slowly: "What's so difficult? We will have a poetry meeting in the suburbs of the city in two days. If Miss Xiao wants to go, I will take you Just go. At that time, several His Royal Highnesses and other noble daughters will also be present, and it will be very lively."

"Really?!" Xiao Dujuan's eyes lit up, "Miss Fei Shan, you are such a kind-hearted person, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"

If she is lucky enough to be favored by the prince at the poetry meeting, wouldn't she be a hundred times better than marrying the son of the Duke of Zhenguo?
When the time comes, let's see how Wei Zi will still be embarrassed in front of her!
