Chapter 137
The second son of the Wu family left Mayi Town after he recovered from his illness. No one knew where he went. Even the shopkeeper Wu only said that the second son was going to go outside, but he couldn't tell where he went because he was a The one who left home quietly, only left a note for the family before leaving.Since then, people in Mayi Town have never seen him again, so the only thing that can be confirmed is that Wu Eryuan has left his hometown.

Given that Wu Er hadn't shown up in the town for several months, everyone had already forgotten about him. This time the news of his departure spread, and it was only a matter of time to talk about it. Only shopkeeper Ma said it many times "This is retribution, the retribution of the Wu family!" No one took it seriously, after all, the Wu family's food business was not affected, so there was no retribution.

The Ning family often talked about this twists and turns after closing the door. After all, it was the biggest difficulty that the Ning family encountered since they started business.Ning Liang sighed after drinking, "At that time, I was only a Dejufeng, and I couldn't do it anymore. I discussed it with your mother in private, and I went back to Sanjia Village to farm! I don't want Wu Er's shop to collapse. I don't know where I went!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu patted her chest and said: "I was actually a little scared at the time, because I was afraid that we would not be able to go back to Sanjia Village to farm the land!"

At that time, I repeatedly told my family that I was fine, but who can really not worry?Ning Wan picked up the wine and poured another glass for her parents, "So Wu Er deserved to leave Mayi Town!" As for the news that he will return to Liaodong and become a big businessman in the future, she should know it herself.

"Compared to the day when Wujiashan's shop closed, I'm happier now!" Ning Qing has always been unforgiving, so he scolded Wu Er again, but said to Ning Wan: "There was no business in the shop at the beginning, so we closed the shop. I bought mung beans to make vermicelli, but it was hot and I couldn’t make it. The shop was losing money every day, but it was really not easy for you to stick to it. It really was 'I can’t bear the child and I can’t catch the wolf!'”

When Dejufeng's life was difficult, Ning Qing was so angry that he jumped up and scolded every day. After scolding, Wu Er would sometimes quarrel with Ning Wan, but he was not smiling now, but Ning Wan didn't care about her. Everyone said: "Opening vermicelli workshop is a very important business of Dejufeng. I thought about it a long time ago. Even if I lost some money at that time, I couldn't give up. It wasn't that I gave up my children to trap wolves, but 'planted a sycamore tree. , attracting the golden phoenix.'”

Niang laughed, "Actually, it means the same thing, it's just that Wan'er said it better!"

"When doing business, you naturally have to choose nice words." Ning Wan is in a very good mood now, "In addition to the mountain goods business, the family has also opened a vermicelli workshop. It doesn’t have to be as difficult as this year. Only when there are more industries, will we not be afraid of all kinds of accidents.”

The whole family of Ning's family was full of joy. At this time, there was another happy news. Mrs. Zhao was going to celebrate sister Xi's birthday. She arranged a banquet at home, invited a theater troupe, and specially sent someone to deliver invitations to the Ning family.Housekeeper Zhao, who came to Dejufeng last time, said with a smile: "Our wife has always valued the second young lady. That day I heard that the second young lady's birthday is coming, so I took 100 taels of private house and told the little one to take good care of it, and told the little one to be sure. Please invite uncles, uncles, wives and cousins ​​of the Ning family to come over, the second young mistress is also looking forward to everyone!"

As soon as the price of mung beans rose, the Ning family sent mung beans to all their relatives and friends, and the Zhao family naturally gave them too.When the Ning family was forced into a very difficult time by Wu Er, Mrs. Zhao's willingness to help was a great gratitude, and Ning Wan naturally wanted to pay it back. She asked the clerk to send a hundred catties of mung beans, which was the most among her relatives. After all, the Zhao family There are a lot of people up and down, and everyone needs to drink mung bean drinks, and Mrs. Zhao will never be harsh on such trivial matters.

Ning Wan has figured it out ever since she gave away mung beans. She doesn't have to avoid Mrs. Zhao at all. Instead, she should treat Mrs. Zhao as a relative. There will always be contacts in the future.

Mrs. Zhao promised to help deal with the Wu family before, and now she is planning to celebrate Sister Xi's birthday with great fanfare. Ning Wan heard that most of her previous worries about Sister Xi disappeared.If you want to compare, Mrs. Zhao didn't give her money for her birthday in the first year when Ning Wan came to the Zhao family. Of course, the Zhao family was at the most difficult juncture at that time, and Mrs. Zhao couldn't get any money.

When I arrived at Zhao's house, I saw Sister Xi, and I saw her wearing a brand-new pomegranate red dress with hundreds of flowers on the ground, an embroidered jacket with sleeves of the same color, and a golden phoenix with beads on her head, each of which was the size of a thumb belly. , with a slight swing, a dazzling light flashes, it is Mrs. Zhao's favorite thing, so you know Mrs. Zhao's love is not fake.

Sister Xi laughed so hard that she welcomed her aunt, aunt, two sister-in-laws, and Ning Xian, Ning Qing, and Ning Wan in. The Zhao family is no different from a small family, with male and female guests divided into inner and outer courtyards. Therefore, the family separated when they arrived at Zhao's house.

Everyone met Mrs. Zhao first, and Ning Wan saw that she was pretty much the same as when they met before. She was beautiful and well-maintained, but no matter how careful she was, wrinkles appeared on her forehead, and her temples were also lightly frosted. With a kind face and a calm expression, few people know that she has always kept all the things on her mind deep in her heart, and she can't easily reveal anything.Hearing that the in-laws had arrived, Mrs. Zhao got up early to greet her, she was kind and gentle, "I wanted to invite my in-laws and uncles, but I was afraid I couldn't. Today is taking advantage of Sister Xi's birthday, so we can have a good time together for two days. "

Both the aunt and the mother changed into new silk clothes today, and they both wore a few gold ornaments on their heads. They looked quite wealthy, but no matter how they dressed, they were different from the wives of wealthy families in Hutai County. There is always a layer of difference in words and deeds.Although everyone and the Zhao family are in-laws, after all, the lower door is against the higher door, and they always feel a little uncomfortable.But Mrs. Zhao took one of them with each hand, laughed and feasted, and soon talked with them, and did not forget to introduce the eldest daughter-in-law Fang and several female relatives present, and also took care of the three sisters of the Ning family and Shi Shi, Nannan, Hubao, and Jinshan, these children were still young, so regardless of gender, they all followed into the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Zhao has always been so decent when it comes to people she wants to make friends with. Ning Wan knew her style of behavior early on, and now she feels like a spring breeze. Seeing that her mother and eldest aunt are taken care of very well, she felt a little sad for Mrs. Zhao when she was grateful : Although Mrs. Zhao’s eldest son, Zhao Guofan, has been successfully appointed as the official history of Hutai County, he never pays any attention to official affairs, and always asks Mrs. Zhao to make up for his mistakes; But she is a concubine daughter who was taught badly by her aunt. She is short-sighted and can't see out of the inner house. She can do nothing except play some ridiculous intrigue tricks. Can handle the errands; as for the third son, Zhao Guobao, he is obedient on the surface but full of bad intentions. Right now, he should be planning how to marry a good wife and fight with Mrs. Zhao!
But seeing Sister Xi smiling and talking to the female family members, Ning Wan felt relieved when she talked and behaved more decently than before. Mrs. Zhao was still a capable person, even though Zhao Dianshi was paralyzed. , the eldest son is not successful, the second son is stupid, and the concubine looks at her like a tiger, but she is still able to handle all the difficulties right now, resolutely gave up on the eldest daughter-in-law, and chose a capable girl to be the second daughter-in-law. The home is still in the hands of her own children and grandchildren.

The banquet hosted by Mrs. Zhao was naturally not bad. The theater troupe was invited from Anpingwei. The wine was two taels of silver for a jar of Huiquan good wine. The banquet was the best in Wangyuan Tower. The banquet of 100 taels is not enough, it is enough for the old aunt's family to live for several years!So it's no wonder that Sister Xi doesn't care that Zhao Guomao is a fool and must marry in.

Since Second Master Wu suspected her last time, Ning Wan became more cautious, especially when she arrived at Zhao's house, a place she was very familiar with before, and Mrs. Zhao was a shrewd person, so she was very careful not to say a word, not to Take an extra step, like a little country girl who has never seen the big world, silently following behind her mother and two older sisters.

When the wine scene was almost finished, Mrs. Zhao stayed with everyone very affectionately, "I wanted to stay with you for ten and a half months, so that we could have a good time together, but I just heard that sister Xi said that you have something to do at home and you are all busy." What's the matter, if you want to go back that day, it's impossible. It's already late, even if you go out of the city, you're in a hurry, why don't you stay overnight at Zhao's house, and I'll see you off at noon tomorrow."

Unlike other places in Hutai County, it is surrounded by a city wall, and it is closed at a certain hour, and it cannot be opened until the next morning.Needless to say, the Zhao family, even the county magistrate has no right to temporarily open and close the city gate, so everyone can only nod, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, then let's bother Mrs. Zhao for one night."

"That's what I wish for," Mrs. Zhao smiled, and then told Sister Xi considerately, "Your mother, your aunt, and sister-in-law and cousins ​​all came from a long way. If you don’t have a good reception, you don’t want to go to the room tonight, just chat with everyone, invite you over tomorrow morning after you have dinner with me, and at noon I’ll serve wine to see off my wife and uncles and wives.”

Sister Xi responded affectionately, "Thank you mother-in-law, I am going to take my mother, my aunt and the others to my yard to have a look."

Everyone bid farewell to Mrs. Zhao, followed Sister Xi to her yard first, and saw that the house was tall and imposing, and because it was a new house, everything was new, and all the decorations were gold and silver. Heard the unheard and saw the unseen.Since the Ning family became rich, they have added a lot of things, no matter who sees it, they are full of praise, but now compared with Xi's yard, it is a sky and a ground, a far cry.

And there are no outsiders at this time, and everyone is relatives, and they are no longer as restrained as before. Everyone enjoys at will. At one time, a girl brought fragrant tea and various seasonal fruit snacks. Everyone tasted everything again, really everything It's all good, but I don't know how to praise it.

Sister Xi said to everyone: "Every time my mother sees me, she asks me if I am doing well, and then asks if I regret it. Why do you say that such a life is not good? How can I regret it?"
