After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 3 God of Wealth Loves Fish
The garden embraces the building.

Seven or eight girls sat together, talking and laughing around Chen Ruixiang.

Xiao Dujuan graciously peeled nuts for Chen Ruixiang: "Sister Ruixiang, I heard that your brother got No. 1 in the last academy exam, which is really good! Speaking of which, Mr. Chen is also old enough to go on a blind date, right?"

Chen Ruixiang glanced at her, and said casually: "My mother said, it's not too late to marry my brother after he has achieved fame first. You know Shen Chunqiu, the servant of the official department who has returned to Lingzhou City to guard his filial piety? It will be Qingming in a few days , he will go to Yunshen Temple to offer incense, and my mother plans to arrange for my brother to meet Shen Shilang in Yunshen Temple by chance, and take the opportunity to worship under his sect. With Shen Shilang as a teacher, do you still worry about fame and future? "

She paused, glanced at Xiao Dujuan, and pointed out: "So, women from small families cannot enter my house."

Xiao Dujuan choked, and angrily grabbed the handkerchief secretly.

Isn't she the daughter of a county magistrate, what's there to be crazy about!
Her brother has become the son-in-law of the Marquis of Changping and has an official position. She is also an elegant official lady now. Has she ever shown it off?

She didn't dare to offend Chen Ruixiang publicly, so she had to change the subject with a smile on her face: "It's almost noon, and it's time for us to eat. Sister Ruixiang, my sister-in-law is very good at cooking. She heard that you are coming today, and I want to give it to you." You can make a big table of delicious food!"

Soon, Wei Zi led the two women and came over with saving boxes to set meals and vegetables.

Xiao Dujuan stretched her neck, seeing that every dish she brought out was sprinkled with bright red peppers, and seeing Chen Ruixiang's face gradually becoming ugly, she couldn't help secretly delighting.

Chen Ruixiang is like a proud peacock, she likes to dictate to others the most, and if others don't agree with her, she will use her status to beat and scold wantonly. Today, if Wei Zi commits crimes in her hands, there must be no good fruit to eat!
After the dishes were put on the table, Wei Zi bowed generously: "Thank you, sisters, for taking care of our Dujuan family. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality of the little girl."

Chen Ruixiang was already annoyed.

She stared at the table full of peppers, and threw the teacup heavily on the table: "Xiao Dujuan, what do you mean by your sister-in-law?! Didn't you tell her that I can't eat spicy food?! Did she do it on purpose?!"

Xiao Dujuan pretended to be panicked and stood up: "Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you in the morning that Sister Ruixiang never eats spicy food? Why...why do you put so many peppers?"

She turned to Chen Ruixiang again, and said apologetically, "Sister Ruixiang, my sister-in-law probably didn't hear clearly. She didn't mean to save face on you. Hey, that's weird. I said it several times at the time, sister-in-law, did you I've been too tired for the past few days, so I didn't listen to it in my heart?"

Chen Ruixiang sneered: "Since I have said it several times, the deaf man should have heard clearly. I think your sister-in-law is not satisfied with me. I am the daughter of the county magistrate. If you are not satisfied with me, you are not satisfied with my father. Yes If my father is dissatisfied, he is dissatisfied with the court. You insulted the imperial court official, come here, give me a slap in the face of her!"

Xiao Dujuan was overjoyed.

What's the point of slapping the mouth, smashing Wei Zi's face, that would be a pleasure!
She was impatiently waiting to see a good show, Wei Zi smiled slightly.

She Yingying stepped forward, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pepper and put it in her mouth.

After eating, she said softly: "Look, Miss Chen, this chili looks bright red, but it doesn't taste spicy at all. It is a new variety of sweet pepper that was introduced to our Lingzhou from Chang'an City. It is not only used as a side dish. The food looks good, and it also has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.”

After she finished speaking, she ate a few more pieces, her face was white and her breathing was smooth, and there was no sign of being too spicy.

The other girls were full of curiosity, so they tasted it and said with a smile: "It's really not spicy! It tastes sour and sweet like fruit, Sister Ruixiang, you should try it too!"

Chen Ruixiang hesitated for a moment, took a sip carefully, and couldn't help being suspicious: "It's really weird, there are still non-spicy chili peppers in the world..."

She thought the taste was good, and said to Wei Zi, "I was the one who blamed you just now."

Wei Zi was still smiling.

These girls are either rich or expensive, like Xiao Dujuan, whose ten fingers do not touch the spring water, can't even tell the difference between leeks, onions and garlic. How do you know that there are many types of peppers?
She glanced at Xiao Dujuan.

At this moment, her sister-in-law's face was purplish red, like a ripe eggplant.

She stepped forward with a smile, gently brushed the dust off Xiao Dujuan's shoulders with a handkerchief, and told her in a sister-in-law's tone: "These sisters rarely come to our house as guests, you must treat them well."

Xiao Dujuan was very annoyed, pushed her away, and cursed in a low voice: "Don't you know who I am?! What an elegant lady I am, I call you sister-in-law, do I really think of myself as my sister-in-law?! Be careful of me Ask my mother to kick you out!"

Wei Zi smiled nonchalantly, turned to the other little girls and said softly: "My sister-in-law is still young and has been pampered and brought up, it is inevitable that a child will lose her temper and yell, which makes everyone laugh. You play first, and I have prepared a snack for each of you, and I will bring it to everyone before leaving."

The girls hurriedly expressed their thanks, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Wei Zi secretly.

No matter how young Xiao Dujuan is, she is obviously about the same age as her sister-in-law, but the gap between the two is too big!

Xiao Dujuan is blah, vulgar and vain, but her widowed sister-in-law is exceptionally beautiful and demure, but it is a pity that she is an orphan without parents or brothers, otherwise, such a girl is more than enough to be the wife of an official, so why bother to be a widow in the Xiao family Bullied?

Xiao Dujuan noticed the eyes of this group of people and almost went mad with anger.

The person who was wronged today should obviously be Wei Zi, how could it be that he was the only one who was unlucky in the end?

She sat down at the dinner table, and she didn't care that she was the host, and she didn't bother to entertain these sisters, she just kept crying.

Falling into the eyes of everyone, he became more and more petty and unworthy of the public.

After Xiao Dujuan made such a fuss, everyone lost interest in having fun.

Xiao Dujuan is not in the mood to see off guests.

Wei Zi personally sent them out, took a bag of snacks from Mrs. Liu, and delivered them to each of them.

When she came to Chen Ruixiang, she frowned, and said hesitantly, "May I ask Miss Chen, is there any festival between you and our family's Dujuan?"

Chen Ruixiang was stunned: "What do you mean by that?"

"This morning, Du Juan did tell me to put more chili peppers." Wei Zi squeezed a small handkerchief, "I think you girls like to play around, and it's possible to deliberately use chili peppers to tease each other, but it's not good to play too much , so I chose sweet peppers. Du Juan is pretty well-behaved, and won't tease others for no reason, so I wonder if you have any problems with her?"

Chen Ruixiang was stunned on the spot: "I have a problem with her?! What is she? She begged me to play with her. How dare she hold a grudge against me behind her back?!"

Wei Zi quickly laughed and said, "Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Chen Ruixiang gritted her teeth at the gate of Xiao's mansion: "What a Xiao Dujuan, just wait for me at school tomorrow!"

Wei Zi watched her get into the carriage angrily and leave before returning to the kitchen to make dinner.

While cooking, Wei Zi remembered that Xiao Fengxian loved fish.

Speaking of it, he seems to hate the Xiao family, otherwise he wouldn't have done such disobedient and unfilial things in his previous life.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend...

Wei Zi suddenly realized that Xiao Fengxian was an ally that could be won.

He is not like the son born of the Xiao family at all. Not only is he beautiful, his intelligence is also close to evildoer. Not only did he control the court in just a few years, he also became the richest businessman in the Chen country. Holding salt, iron and transportation, it almost monopolizes the country's economic lifeline.

Wei Zi wants to make money, and only if she has money, can she have the confidence to leave the Xiao family.

Being close to the water is the first thing to do, to establish a good relationship with Xiao Fengxian, and when he is in a good mood, he can give her any advice, maybe she can make a lot of money.

Wei Zi had a good plan, picked up the net bag, and went to catch fish in the pond.

The God of Wealth loves to eat fish.

She has to take the fish to worship the God of Wealth.
