Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 19 A Thunderbolt

Song Yu came back from the academy today and went straight to the west courtyard without going to the study.

He couldn't wait to tell Jiang Wanning that when he saw Chen Pingzhang in the academy these days, Chen Pingzhang didn't bother him. He must have accepted the 100 taels and couldn't hold his head up in front of him.

"A Ning, A Ning..."

When Jiang Wanning heard Song Yu's voice, she was sitting well, but she immediately leaned on the Arhat couch, looking sickly.

"Mr. Lang, you are back." Jiang Wanning was about to stand up to greet her, then lay down with her forehead on her forehead.

"I'm sorry for being rude," she said weakly. "I've been feeling light-headed and heavy-headed these past few days."

Song Yu knew that his mother had refilled the medicine again, and said hurriedly: "Don't get up, let's take a rest. They told you not to work too hard. If you are tired and sick, your mother will feel bad. No matter how lively the birthday party is, it will not be the same." mean."

Song Yu felt that his mother was too eager and wouldn't it be good to follow the original plan?Play it safe.

Jiang Wan Ning smiled and looked behind Song Yu: "Where is Qing'e? Qing'e didn't come back with Lang Jun?"

Song Yu: "I didn't see her."

So he didn't go to the study.

"Yu Niang, please ask Xiao Tao to go to the study and tell Qing'e that the husband has come to the west courtyard."

In response, Yu Niang went out to look for Xiao Tao.

Only then did Song Yu realize that there was a handsome face in the room.

"She is……"

"Today, a group of people came into the house. Yu Niang is good at making snacks, so I kept her here and tried her cooking skills. It turned out to be amazing. Let her make your favorite water chestnuts tomorrow. cake."

"Very good." Song Yu sat down on the edge of the couch.

Jiang Wanning moved in quietly, not liking that he was so close.

"Mr. Lang, I saw the list you drew up. Chen Qilang is not on it. My mother-in-law invited Mrs. Chen instead."

Song Yu said: "His coming will only spoil the fun, so I won't invite you."

"The Chen family is the most prestigious family in Jiangcheng. Chen Qilang has a transcendent status in the hearts of Jiangcheng scholars. Of course, this does not mean how knowledgeable he is. In terms of knowledge, he is not as good as Lang Jun, but who gave him the surname Chen? "

Jiang Wan Ning stroked her heart, feeling sick even after saying this.

In the past, the original owner had great respect for Song Yu as a scholar and felt that Song Yu was very talented. This kind of literary spirit was what the Jiang family lacked. This was why her father insisted on finding her a scholarly family.

The day before yesterday, she went to Song Yu's study and saw several articles written by Song Yu.If this kind of article can pass the exam, the invigilator is blind.

Now in order to paralyze Song Yu, she had to flatter him without conscience.

These words were very pleasant to Song Yu's ears and made him feel comfortable.

"If Chen Qilang doesn't come, the gathering will be less interesting. If Lang Jun doesn't invite him, others will think that Lang Jun is at odds with Chen Qilang, or that Lang Jun is stingy. This is not a good thing for Lang Jun. Son."

"Besides, you're being generous by inviting him. If he comes, the gathering will be even better. If he doesn't come, then he's being petty. We won't lose no matter what."

Song Yu thought, it would really be bad not to invite Chen Pingzhang.

"Then add him."

That night, Song Yu had dinner in the West Courtyard again, and after dinner, he went to Chengxin Hall to pay his respects to Mr. Song Yao.

The next day, Jiang Wanning took Yuniang and the cakes to see Song Yao.

"Yesterday I got a maid who is good at making snacks. Today I specially asked her to make sesame cakes and pea yellow which my mother-in-law loves to eat."

Mrs. Song Yao signaled Grandma Cui to take the food box, but she was not in the mood to eat at the moment and looked at the person in front of her carefully.

She has a pale face and big, round eyes, but she has no energy.

I recall that when Jiang Wanning first got married, she had a juicy, plump oval face, white and pink, like a ripe peach, and her eyes were full of spring water, soft and gentle, known as Xu Ziyin, the most beautiful woman in Jiangcheng, paled in front of her.

Yu'er didn't even look at her like that. Now that she has turned into such a ghost, why does Yu'er look at her differently?

Yesterday, Yu'er went to the west courtyard as soon as she returned home. After having dinner with Jiang Wanning, she remembered that she still had a mother, so she hurried over to say hello.

Song Yao was deeply disturbed.

"A Ning, you still have to pay attention to your body and don't work too hard." Song Yao said.

"Mother-in-law is worried. My daughter-in-law will pay attention." Jiang Wanning smiled gently. "There is something that my daughter-in-law wants to discuss with her mother-in-law."

"You said."

"Wu Niang is getting married next spring. As the eldest sister-in-law, I have to show her kindness and give her some makeup to make her marriage more glamorous."

Song Yao's mind moved slightly: "This is a good thing."

"So, my daughter-in-law decided to exchange eight shops for easy money and let Wu Niang take her to the capital to buy a property."

Song Yao was surprised: "How many? Eight rooms?"

This is too generous!
Why does Wu Niang need so much dowry?

Song Yao coughed twice and calmed down: "A Ning, I know that you and Wu Niang have always been close. As the eldest sister-in-law, you should add makeup to your sister-in-law, but there is no need to add so much makeup."

"Mother-in-law, there are only eight shops, which is not too much."

Song Yao felt a breath stuck in his heart, unable to come up or go down.

Eight shops is not too many, so how many are too many?

You gave Wu Niang so many shops, how much is left for her?
But this is Jiang Wanning's private property. If she really wants to have her own way, no one can do anything to her.

Song Yu was originally going to see Xu Ziyin today.

Before going out, he was called to Chengxintang and learned that Jiang Wanning was going to use eight shops to add makeup to Wu Niang. Song Yu was also anxious and immediately went to the west courtyard.

"A Ning, I heard my mother say that you want to use eight shops to give Wu Niang a dowry? What on earth do you think? How can you add so much dowry? The dowry my mother prepared is not even [-]% of yours. You are so Isn't it the face of a mistress?" Song Yu asked fiercely as he entered the door.

Jiang Wanning was writing an invitation and put down her writing after hearing this.

Let Yuniang and Qing'e go out.

Then he said: "Mother-in-law only told you about Wu Niang's makeup?"

Is there anything else?Song Yu was stunned.

"Didn't she tell you that I want to give you the remaining shops and farms?"

Song Yu was completely stunned.

Did he hear it right?
Jiang Wanning wants to give him all her dowry?

Jiang Wan Ning stood up and helped him sit down: "Mr. Sir, don't be anxious. Listen to me and tell you carefully."

After saying that, he poured him another glass of warm water. Song Yu had not yet recovered from the huge shock. His eyes were full of disbelief. What he wanted so much was so easy to get?
"I originally wanted to tell Mr. Lang about this first, but after much deliberation, I decided to test my mother-in-law's intentions first. This test indeed caused problems."

Song Yu was confused: "What's the problem?"

Jiang Wan Ning sighed, with some pity in her eyes: "Mr. Lang, you know that the person my father wanted to marry was not Lang Jun, but Erlang."

There seemed to be a thunderclap above Song Yu's head, this...

"Unexpectedly, the master said that the eldest son has not yet discussed the marriage, so the second man who was originally engaged to me became the first husband."

"Besides, do you know who is in the shipping business?"

"It's not the master, it's Aunt Zheng."

What Jiang Wan Ning said was half true and half false. The former was true. Her father initially wanted to marry her to Song Jing. The latter was her guess.

She was not afraid that Song Yu would go to verify the situation. By the time his verification results came out, she would have already left the Song family.

Perhaps, the verification results confirmed her guess.

Song Yu's heart was boiling with anger. His father clearly knew that he and Zi Yin had a verbal agreement, but he insisted on giving up Zi Yin and marrying a merchant's daughter.

He had always thought that he was the one the Jiang family was interested in. In order to cope with the difficulties, his father had no choice but to agree, so he had no choice but to hold his nose and marry Jiang Wan Ning.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zheng got into trouble and was unwilling to sacrifice her son's future, but she encouraged her father to let him, the eldest son, make the sacrifice.

It can be seen from this that Aunt Zheng and his second brother have a more important position in his father's heart.

His eldest son is nothing.

Song Yu's heart felt like it was soaked in ice water, feeling so cold.
