Chapter 130 The Price of Wealth

No wonder, as a woman, she showed her face to do business, and her parents-in-law didn't object; no wonder she was looking for a house, but someone happened to rent it out; no wonder she made a lot of money selling ice, but no one came to make trouble; ; No wonder she hated Sister Cao's family, they went into the city and never came back, no wonder...

Originally, she thought that she was lucky and that no matter what she did, it would go well.Only now did I realize that her noble person was never God, but the silly husband who accompanied her every day...

Murong Huaide held the account book in his hand, but kept staring at the bed. Seeing that Dong Rong closed her eyes as if she was fast asleep, he got up and covered her with a thin quilt.In the end, his eyes brushed over her slightly pale face, and the feelings in his heart were complicated and unspeakable.If there is one thing he loves most about her, it is that she is different from other women's tenacity, as if she has to struggle hard and never give up no matter how menopausal she is.But now he hated this very much, if her temper could be a little softer, it wouldn't be so difficult for him to coax her.

Zizhu pushed open the door secretly, seeing the appearance of the two masters, she hurriedly told in a low voice, "Master, Guanshi Zhang has something to see."

Murong Huaide raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand again to smooth the hair on his wife's temples before getting up and leaving.Dong Rong gently opened her eyes, and the depths of her eyes were also full of struggles and contradictions...

Chu Silian baked a plate of sweet potato pancakes today, and she thought it was very delicious. She yelled Zizhu a few times but no one answered, so she ran to the window and smiled, "Ma'am, I have thought about a new kind of dessert. If you have a good appetite How about giving me a taste?"

Dong Rong had just vomited up her breakfast, and now she was happy to hear that there was a new snack, and replied, "Hurry up and bring it in, I'm hungry."

"Okay, ma'am, wait a minute." Chu Silian hurriedly ran to the kitchen to search, and Zizhu just happened to heat up a can of porridge on the stove, so she quickly filled a bowl with two small pickles.Finally, a plate of sweet potato pancakes was added, and they were taken to the bedroom.

Dong Rong saw that the porridge was covered with a layer of rice oil, and it was obvious that the heat was just right. The side dishes were also her favorite salty cucumber and platycodon, and the sweet potato cake was baked until golden and soft.Chu Silian was so happy that she kept smiling, "Madam likes it, so I baked it fresh every day and brought it over. Madam is pregnant with the young master. You must not be hungry at this time."

Dong Rong rarely laughed and teased her, "You never gave birth, how do you know so clearly?"

Chu Silian blushed, and said angrily, "Madam made fun of me again. I haven't given birth yet and I don't know how to listen to others. My mother said that you are kind and righteous, and you will give birth to a big fat boy in custody. These days she Just make clothes for the young master at home."

"I'm pregnant alone and I don't have a partner, so hurry up and conceive too."

"Oh, ma'am, I haven't planned to have a child yet. Besides, I'm not going to conceive immediately when I want to."

The master and servant talked and laughed like this, and they were very happy for a while.Chu Silian couldn't hide her words. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help asking, "Ma'am, people in the village say that the master is going back to Beijing. You are angry that he won't take you with you. That's why I'm annoyed. But we Everyone sees how the master treats you every day, and thinks it's not the case. Ma'am, are you angry that the master is hiding it from you?"

Dong Rong looked down at the teacup in her hand, sighed after a long silence, and asked, "Silian, where did you get the courage to elope with Guisheng? Are you really not afraid of being caught and soaked in pigs?" cage?"

Chu Silian didn't expect her master to suddenly ask about this, her face turned red immediately, and after thinking about it, she felt a little hypocritical.After all, if she didn't have a boss back then, she would have gone to the underworld to report, so she replied in a low voice, "I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just thought he was good to me. If I can't live happily with him for the rest of my life, then it's okay to die together. worth."

While talking, Xu Shi remembered the sweet little things between the two of them on weekdays, and Chu Silian's face turned even redder.She hastily stretched out her hands to cover her cheeks, and yelled, "Ma'am, when people ask you, why did you talk about my embarrassing thing again?"

Dong Rong giggled amused by her delicate appearance, and finally said in a low voice, "When I was young, I also thought that one day in the future, there would be a heroic man wearing a golden armor and standing on colorful auspicious clouds to marry me. I go home."

Chu Silian frowned suspiciously, and asked again, "I heard that the father of the master is the prince, and his family is much richer than the Cao family. Shouldn't Madam be happy? In the future, you won't have to work hard to support your family, and Don't worry about the orchard's business not doing well, and no one will play tricks and refuse to accept our fruit..."

Dong Rong smiled wryly and shook her head, "There is no wealth in the world that can be enjoyed without paying a price, just like a woman walking by the street, you see her fair skin and beautiful appearance, you are very envious. But you must not know that she is not Dare to bask in the sun, apply honey to the face at night, and dare not sleep on a pillow.

In the same way, the palace may be really rich, as long as you live in it, you will fall into a nest of blessings.But while you are enjoying the wealth, you have to beware of sharp knives stabbed from nowhere, and you will lose your life if you are not careful.A person who keeps saying that he will be loyal to you today may become a murderer who framed you tomorrow..."

Chu Silian shrank her shoulders in fright, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh, that's really terrible. No wonder everyone said that the big family has a lot of secrets, and there are all kinds of ugly things. Then... madam, you'd better not go It's Kyoto."

"If this is the case, it's nothing." Dong Rong smiled lightly and continued, "Once you enter the Houmen, it's as deep as the sea, but for any woman, once you enter the gate, it's more difficult to go out than going to the sky, not to mention... There are countless women who come to share your husband. Today he sleeps peacefully with you, maybe tomorrow he will hold another woman in his arms. If your family has a child like this, can you bear it?"

Chu Silian imagined Yu Guisheng hugging other women, so angry that she almost tore the veil in her hand to pieces, and yelled through gritted teeth, "Of course not, if he dares to touch others, I'll... strangle him to death!"

"I'm thinking the same way. If I can't bear it and can't leave that person, I can only become vicious and cruel in the end. I smile on the surface, but secretly get rid of one after another, and my hands are bloody in the end." Dong Rong turned her hands slowly, as if someone's blood was dripping down on them.

Chu Silian turned pale with fright, "Madam, don't scare me. You are so kind, you will never do bad things."

Dong Rong chuckled, but it was not good to continue teasing her, so she said seriously, "Marrying a fool, I can show my face and do business; marrying a prince, I can only guard the sky above my head. Marrying a fool, I am happy If I want to be able to climb on his back, I can pinch his waist and legs when I am annoyed; to marry a prince, but I have to be careful and abide by the rules, and I dare not say a word. Marry a fool, we are the only one for each other; To marry a prince, and I am one of his many women."

"Master treats you so well, he won't...won't marry another woman?"

"I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than a man's mouth. When the love is strong, everything is good, but after a long time, the love has weakened, and the young and beautiful woman will do everything possible to pounce on her. Which man would refuse? What's more, for a big family, three wives and four concubines are a matter of course, and not marrying more would make people laugh."

Dong Rong threw the pillow at the end of the bed casually, and said softly, "He has lied to me for so long, I don't believe him anymore..."

Chu Silian originally wanted to persuade his wife to reconcile with the master, but now she just felt so sad, she couldn't help holding her hand with red eyes, and said, "Ma'am, since you don't want to go to the capital to be restricted , we won’t go. Whoever offends you, we won’t see him. When you give birth to the young master, you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life. Everyone must work hard and earn more money to raise the young master.”

Dong Rong's heart was very warm, she patted her hand and said, "Okay, even if the other businesses in the family are not good, with your skill in making dim sum, let's go to the city to open a dim sum shop, and the money we earn back will have to be adjusted." Drive home."

When Chu Silian got the praise, she immediately became overjoyed, and shouted, "Really? Then I have to practice my skills well, and when the time comes, my wife will reward me with a good hairpin when I earn money. Sister-in-law Liu shows her off in front of me all day long." I'm jealous of that hairpin."

"It's just a hairpin. Why are you jealous? Today's sweet potato pancakes are delicious, and I'm so full. When Wen Niang comes back, I'll ask her to open the storeroom to find a good hairpin for you. It's my thank you gift for you. "

"Oh, if I knew that a plate of dim sum could be exchanged for a hairpin, I would have sent it a long time ago."

The master and the servant started talking and laughing again, and the laughter spread to the courtyard, and Wen Niang, who had just entered the door, also had a happy face.After thinking about it, she brought a pot of warm tea into the room to check, and Dong Rong just happened to rush to get the hairpin.Chu Silian put a hairpin in her bun, and continued to work happily, leaving Dong Rong to glance at the rear window before continuing to check the accounts.Since she can't say something in front of him, let someone help pass it on...

In the small courtyard of Feng's family, right now, the noise was in full swing.After persuading Mr. Feng and Guanshi Zhang for a long while, Murong Huaide just refused to return to Beijing.If he was pushed too hard, he would divert the conversation, talk about Xiaoyi Garden for a while, and discuss rewards and punishments for several big shopkeepers in the south.

The veins on Mr. Feng's forehead were twitching, as if he was going to explode in anger the next moment, but in the end he lost his breath and said in a low voice, "Huide, I know you are annoyed that I blocked the news from Kyoto that day, so that you were caught off guard. It made Dong Yatou refuse to pay attention to you. But a man with ambitions everywhere, how can he be fettered by a woman?
From now on, the Lingzi group will be completely in your hands, and I will no longer interfere in the dark camp, as long as you rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible!There is no need to delay any longer. The Zheng family already suspected that there was something wrong with the deaths of the concubine and the prince. If they knew that you were still alive, they would definitely guess that your mother and concubine had resorted to tricks, and they would definitely kill you and take revenge on you.At that time, even if there are two teams of A and B, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it.After all, you are not the only one here, there are also Dong Yatou, Dong Ping, and the Cao family. If one of them is caught, it will be a big trouble.Besides, Dong Yatou has two bodies now, so she can't bear to be frightened..."
