suspected wife

Yue Cuiyao waited until Liu Youwen finished school, and then had dinner at Liu's house before leaving.

This afternoon, Liu Meiniang pulled Yue Zhongyao to talk for a while.

But from Yue Zhongyao's point of view, he felt dizzy. What did Mei Niang mean after talking so much?

Yue Zhongyao was not stupid either, he naturally heard that the mother and daughter seemed to have different ideas.

Mrs. Liu said several times, but the words were nothing more than implying that he would give her Mei Niang an explanation as soon as possible.

The words reveal that Mei Niang is getting older, so it's not good to waste any more time.

Although it was Yue Zhongyao's return that the mother and daughter learned of Liu's father's death, but based on the time of Liu's father's death, three years of filial piety had passed, and Liu Meiniang could naturally marry.

Besides, Liu Youwen is about to end, and needs money everywhere.The pen and ink needed every day will cost a lot of money.If it wasn't a family, how could she have the nerve to speak?

Yue Zhongyao naturally understood Liu's meaning.But what does Mei Niang mean?

Doesn't seem to be particularly concerned?

yes?

It gave him the feeling that Mei Niang looked like she could afford to wait.

Also, why did Meiniang ask him about Zheng Yuan, the youngest son of Zheng County's family?

There are several sons and daughters in Zhengzhi County, but there are only two legitimate sons born by Mrs. Zheng.The eldest son is not around, and takes office elsewhere.That Zheng Yuan is the youngest son of Mrs. Zheng, who was doted on since childhood.In his opinion, nothing can be achieved without writing.

Then Zheng Yuan was already married, and his wife was the daughter of a wealthy family in the next county.It is said that the dowry covered several streets in Qingchuan County.

Even if Zheng Yuan has no future in this life, he can live comfortably with his wife's dowry alone.

Besides, the magistrate of Zheng County is not a person with two sleeves.I heard that Zheng Yuan's monthly money, the county magistrate, allocated 50 taels for him to spend.

50 taels, the monthly salary of most of the handymen and catchers in the county yamen may not be 50 taels.

It's just that Zheng Yuan should have nothing to do with the Liu family, right?

Is there something he doesn't know?

Yue Zhongyao was puzzled.

But he didn't ask, and just told him everything he knew about Zheng Yuan.

However, he has repeatedly confirmed that the Liu family has not offended anyone, so he is a little relieved...

Before Yue Zhongyao left, he gave all the silver coins in his purse to Mother Liu.

Mother Liu gave way, but accepted it.

The family of three sent Yue Zhongyao to the alley outside the door, and watched him leave with a feeling of reluctance.

Turning back to the yard, Mrs. Liu hastily dragged Liu Meiniang into the room.

"What's the matter with you, girl? Why did you act like you refused for three thousand miles just now? Yue Zhongyao's heart is soft, because of your father's kindness to him. He will not ignore us. As long as we work harder, we may live a little longer. In two months, you will be able to become Yue's wife. Why do you gossip? You still ask about irrelevant men in front of him? Are you angry with me?"

Liu Shi was short of breath, so she took Liu Meiniang and gave her a lesson.

Liu Meiniang sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

She wasn't going to hang herself from Yue Zhongyao's tree, so what was there to be happy about being Yue Zhongyao's wife?She has to try it before she will be satisfied.

Seeing Liu Meiniang's appearance, Mrs. Liu frowned.He said with some uncertainty: "Could it be that you look down on Yue Zhongyao? You have been asking the young master of Zheng County's family just now, could it be..."

Liu Meiniang pursed her lips and remained silent.

What is there that Mrs. Liu doesn't understand?

He leaned over and slapped Liu Meiniang hard on the shoulder with his hand.

"You damn girl! The son of the magistrate's family is also what you can imagine? Don't talk about his family's identity, our family's identity! Besides, Zheng Yuan has already married a wife, don't you want to be a concubine?"

Seeing that Liu Meiniang didn't deny it, she said bitterly: "Damn girl, I won't agree! Even if your father found out, he would crawl out of the ground and scold you! Get rid of that thought for me as soon as possible!"

Liu was short of breath.She didn't know that her daughter had such thoughts.

But Liu Meiniang didn't care about it at all.

When Liu Shi was about to slap her hard again, he said: "Mother! Being a concubine is different from being a concubine. Being the second wife of the magistrate's son is no different from others!"

Mrs. Liu was so angry: "A concubine is a concubine. What's the difference! Besides, I heard that Zheng Yuan's wife is very virtuous, and she turned the faces of the two girls around her in less than two months after she got married. I don’t care about Zheng Yuan wandering around in the flowers, I’m afraid Zheng Yuan will have more women in the backyard in the future. You don’t have anything, how dare you fight with others?”

Liu Meiniang said leisurely: "She is the daughter of a merchant, and her natal family is all pointing at the county magistrate. How dare she have other ideas. Besides, there are many women in the backyard. It just shows that Zheng Yuan is greedy for color."

Liu Meiniang touched her delicate face as she said, and said: "As long as he is greedy for color, is the daughter afraid that he won't be able to surrender to him? Besides, Zheng Yuan has only got a daughter so far. If in the future... ..."

Liu Meiniang had a look of longing on her face, as if she had seen her hugging Jiao Er and pampering the backyard.

Then she said to her mother: "My daughter is not stupid. She has been working with her mother in a big family's house since she was a child. She has seen and heard a lot, and my daughter is not afraid that she will not be able to handle it. Besides, our family is like this. Mother thinks that it can be done by relying on it. Can Yue Zhongyao's monthly salary of [-] wen afford Wendi's education and official career? No matter how much he earns, mother thinks that Mrs. Wu can leave the money to him? Didn't mother always hope that Wendi would be successful in the future? Can he go on an official career? Could it be that he will be delayed in vain? "

After hearing these words, Mrs. Liu suddenly lowered her raised hand.

Then Mrs. Wu, can't she see clearly?

It is clearly a force.

Yue Zhongyao wished to hold all the money he earned.A person who even counts his wife's dowry, how can he expect money to leak from her hands?

Her original idea was to lure Yue Zhongyao to live in Qingchuan City, preferably with their family, so that she could take care of her family easily.And Yue Zhongyao can hold all the money in his daughter's hands when he gets the money.

She doesn't think it's a big deal.

Then the Wu family will never leave the whole family behind and live in the city with their son.

It's just that Yue Zhongyao earns too little.

She and her daughter can wait for him to survive.But can Wen'er wait?

Wen'er is coming to an end this year, and as long as he passes the children's test, he is going to be sent to the academy to study.At that time, I will live in the academy, and I will need money everywhere.

But make your daughter a concubine?

no!She will not agree.

"You dismissed your idea early on. Besides, if you become a concubine, your younger brother's career will also be affected."

Liu Meiniang gave her mother a white look, and said: "Mother, when brother Wen becomes successful, is mother still afraid that her daughter will not make it through? As long as she becomes Mrs. Ru, she may have a royal order in the future, who would dare to laugh at brother Wen? Then there are only two sons in Zhengzhi County. The eldest son has already become an official. Are you still worried that the younger son will not have an official status? Even if he fails to pass the exam, Zhengzhi County will definitely donate an official to Zheng Yuan in the future. In addition, there are Zheng Yuan's Yue's family spared no effort to provide money to help him, are they afraid that he will not be able to make a fortune?"

After hearing this, Liu patted her again, and said bitterly: "You damn girl, you said it too. Zheng Yuan wants to rely on his wife's natal family. They have a rich natal family, and they are his first wife. You have what?"

Liu Meiniang didn't take it seriously, she was not helpless.

Then he said to the Liu family: "Mother, my daughter will always marry someone. Either the Yue family or another family. And our Liu family still wants Brother Wen to inherit the incense and support the family. Besides, his health has not been good in the past two years. Occasionally Take some medicine and some good supplements, mother thinks that these don’t need money? Or do you think we mothers should get up earlier, sleep later, and do more work?”

Liu Shi fell silent.

She couldn't argue with her daughter.

Watching her daughter get up early and greedy to get work everywhere, and in winter she has to help others wash clothes in cold water, her hands are red from the cold, just to earn a few pens for Wen'er.Her heart throbbed badly.

The husband is dead.Wen'er is their last hope of the Liu family.

That is, Xianggong was thinking about this son before he died, and asked Yue Zhongyao to bring the words back.She said that no matter how hard and tired she was, she would still bring up this son.

If she delays Wen'er's future, how can she have the face to meet her husband after a hundred years?

Besides, Wen'er has not been in good health these past few years. Apart from studying, she is reluctant to let Wen'er do other things. If Wen'er's official career gets in the way, what will she live on in the future?

But she also didn't want her daughter to be a concubine.

Mei Niang only sees the bright and bright side of the rich family's house, but she doesn't know the filth and viciousness inside.

Even if she still has to live like this in the future, she will feel at ease.

"In short, stop your thoughts as soon as possible. I will not let you become a concubine."

Liu Shi was afraid that her daughter would say something more, so she hurriedly turned around and left the room after saying this.

Liu Meiniang watched her mother go out, but did not call her mother.The words her mother said to her just now are like a strong wind, and there is no trace left.

She has her life to live.

Yue Zhongyao, let's be a backup.

Qiao Mingjin didn't care about what happened or gossip in Qingchuan City.

Yayi Workshop has resumed work for a month.With the addition of six new master carpenters, it really relieved a lot of tension.

In fact, this carving is a slow and meticulous work.The more nervous and impetuous you are, the more difficult it is to produce good works.

Even small details may affect the overall image of the root carving.Not even the slightest bit can be neglected.

Fortunately, the six masters are all steady.Even though Qiao Mingjin asked them to be assistants beside Father He and the others, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

He was very respectful to Father He, Wu Yong and others, even Yue Dalei, who was only half a master carpenter.

Don't be ashamed to ask, and work extremely carefully.

Qiao Mingjin looked at it with joy.

Even the masters of the workshop praised Qiao Mingjin several times.

Qiao Mingjin sighed, Zhou Yanqing really has a good eye for picking people.

Qiao Mingjin looked at them coldly for a month, and finally decided to let them individually design and make root carving works. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
