Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

Yue Hua often heard her father praise Mu Qing at the dinner table recently. For example, her father said that the treasurer Wang of the Yinlou praised Mu Qing as shrewd, capable, humble, and cautious, and he was a man who could be made. Thinking that I have worked in the silver building for so long and have never been praised by shopkeeper Wang, and Mu Qing has just arrived, so I have to make such an assertion.He snorted, the shopkeeper Xin Dao Wang knew that he was afraid of the old man's flattery, so he knew how to play!Nowadays, everyone is following the trend, and when they see themselves losing power, they will make trouble.

When he left Yinlou, when he took over the private account from his confidant Li Yi, he was still full of longing. If he could get back the usury money, he would be able to atone for his sins. As soon as the old man was happy, Yinlou might take it from Muqing again. Take it back.

This day, Tian Zhilan was reading a book in the room when there was a light knock on the door.

"Mother, why are you here?" Zhi Lan had a faint sense of foreboding as the so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"I'm here to apologize to you. After watching the play last time, I hit you in a fit of anger. I regret it so much, I don't know how to tell you. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhilan was even more startled, and hurriedly said: "That matter is over, why do you still mention it? Besides, I'm not right to talk about that matter."

"Then I have one more thing to ask you. Your eldest brother has been dismissed from his errand, and he has some financial difficulties recently. I collected some for him, but it is not enough. It just so happens that the young master of the Li family is willing to lend him money, but entrusted you Brother, I hope I can ask you out for a meal, I don't know you..."

"So you agreed to let me have dinner with Young Master Li in exchange for the benefits of the eldest brother. Your calculation is really good." Zhilan sarcastically said, "What do you think of me, I am also Miss Zhou after all, but It's not those Yingying and Yanyan outside, and it's not the hostess of Qinxiangyuan. Even if I'm a concubine, I can't let others spoil me."

"I know you can't accept it. But if I have the slightest way, I won't think about your thoughts. You also have to be considerate of my feelings as a mother. Okay?"

"You want me to be considerate, but I'm also your daughter in name, right? You have to sacrifice me for the sake of your elder brother?" Zhi Lan thought of Li Shaowen and suddenly felt disgusted.

This time, he didn't know how he found his elder brother Yuehua, and Zhilan who calmed down decided to ask clearly: "Mother, what happened to elder brother? Why did he get involved with Li Shaowen again? If you don't explain clearly, how can I agree? "

"This..." The eldest lady hesitated for a while, and seeing Zhilan's attitude that she had to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, she had to tell the whole story, "I don't know the details, I just heard that Hua'er said that I needed money urgently. To tell you the truth, he took all my gold and silver jewelry. Pawned it. As for how he met Li Shaowen, Hua Er said that he met Li Shaowen at a pawn shop, and he generously solved the problem after asking about the situation."

How can it be such a coincidence?Where is the Zhou family recently, there is always Li Shaowen lingering, what is this singing about?Zhilan pondered and didn't respond.

"I know what I'm begging you for today is really embarrassing for you. I'll let your elder brother go with you and let him protect you. Is that okay?"

"No. No, there is no negotiation. Please do what you want, and I won't send you off!" Zhi Lan issued an order to evict the guest.

"Hey!" The eldest lady sat down and sighed, "Do you know how I got here as the lady in the house?"

"Mother, you should be the wife of the house, what's the matter?"

"No, it's not." The eldest wife was immersed in her memories, "I got married with your father purely because of the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. He didn't like me, but he married me because of the favor of his elders. Get off Hua'er."

"I don't want to hear that."

The eldest wife ignored Zhilan's attitude: "The family was very poor at the time, and your father went to the city to try his luck in order to make a living. He first worked as a handyman in your mother's business. Your mother overcame all difficulties and fell in love with your father. I also worked hard to pass all kinds of tests. I heard that there was a condition in the Bai family back then. If your father wanted to marry your mother, he had to set up his own family. Your father did it. He not only founded Wande, but also won your mother's love. They are A loving couple made in heaven."

"Mother, aren't you jealous?"

"Jealous? How can I have the qualifications? After the master entered the city, he hardly communicated with me except to send some money back. Later, your uncle also entered the city, and every time he only asked your uncle to bring money and messages. At that time, I was already Disappointed, I waited for your father's divorce letter at home every day, thinking that I would never receive it. Later I learned that your mother heard about the existence of Hua'er and me, and advised your father many times not to divorce his wife.

When you were four years old, with your mother's persuasion, your father returned to the countryside and took Hua'er and me to live together in the city.It is your mother's humility again that I can be this big wife.I am very grateful to your mother, she is a beautiful and kind woman, her mind and tolerance are unmatched by ordinary people.You understand, I accept your mother's love, how could I do something to harm you?Hua'er will go with you, and I will pick you up early in the afternoon, so you can rest assured. "

Zhilan was still silent, and the eldest wife pleaded repeatedly: "Good boy, just promise me, mother will treat you even better in the future, and will never beat you or treat you coldly. I apologize to you."

Zhilan was softened by what the eldest lady said, but she didn't answer.

The eldest lady carefully observed her expression, gritted her teeth, and simply knelt down in front of her, scaring her to rush to pull the eldest lady.The latter wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, as if he was not good enough.

After all, Zhilan was young and didn't have much experience, so she panicked: "Mother, don't do this."

"Lan'er, good boy! The family relies on you to save me and your eldest brother, please, please." The eldest wife almost bowed her head and said in tears, "If you agree, you will still recognize me This mother, if you don't agree, I will die in front of your eyes, Hua'er stabbed this basket, I have nothing to live for."

Zhilan was silent.

"Lan'er, don't worry, I'll let your elder brother wait for you in Zhihe."

Seeing that she didn't speak, as time went by, the eldest lady couldn't bear to kneel, not only on the face, but also physically.She made up her mind, her expression gradually changed from pleading to tough, she simply got up and said: "How about I say hello to your father? I won't be able to say a lot of good things, your father's words will naturally work." Ready to greet Butler Zhou, he called out from the room, "Butler Zhou. Hurry up and call the master and tell him to come back if there is something at home."

"Mother, don't!" Hearing the butler Zhou's reply outside, Zhilan hurriedly stopped her.The last time I was "persuaded" by Master Zhou to have lunch with Li Shaowen is still vivid in my memory.She doesn't want to go through it again.

Things have come to this, it seems that she deserves what she shouldn't.Now the eldest wife has really turned her face, and inviting father here will only lead to a worse ending.She has tried enough of these things since she was a child.Mu Qing is the only one in this family who can really help him.

Thinking of Muqing, Zhilan wondered how reliable Yuehua would be in picking her up, she had to tell her second brother, so she could feel more at ease.

Upon hearing the reply, the eldest lady immediately got up and said happily, "Okay, okay, I'll let housekeeper Zhou prepare the car, and let Hua'er go with you to make peace."

As she said, she straightened her clothes, took Zhilan's hand and said, "Lan'er, be flexible with men, go and change your clothes, and leave in a while."

She hurriedly called Yan Cui to change the young lady's clothes, and ordered the housekeeper Zhou to prepare the car, and only said that the young master and the third young lady were going out to buy things.Secretly ask Mama Gui to watch, not to allow anyone to step out of the house to report to the master and the second young master, especially to keep Mama Rong close, not to let her meet Zhilan.

Yan Cui combed her hair, put on light makeup, and changed into a newly bought dress.

Dressed up, she opened the door to see Yuehua and the eldest wife waiting for her at the door.The eldest wife sized her up and praised her appearance like a spring onion. She gave them a cold look.

Embarrassed for a while, the eldest lady hurriedly sent the two of them to the car.

The car drove away, and the eldest wife felt relieved, and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Before departure, Zhilan stuffed a note for Yan Cui to bring to Rong Ma, and she was not sure whether it could be delivered to Mu Qing.

When we arrived at the gate of Zhihe, the clerk of the firm hurriedly notified Li Shaowen.

When he got the news, Li Shaowen hurriedly took his assistant Xiao Zhang downstairs to meet him. He had a smile on his lips and couldn't hide his joy. Seeing Yuehua and Zhilan waiting in the living room, he said with a smile: "Master Zhou, you can't hide it." Miss Lan, rare guest rare guest!"

He turned his face and whispered to his assistant Xiao Zhang, "Take Master Zhou to the cashier to get the money."

Xiao Zhang bowed to Yue Hua: "Young Master, this way please."

"Li Shaowen, I can leave my sister to you. You can keep your word. I will pick her up on time at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Brother! Didn't mother want you to wait for me here?" Zhilan asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, the young master of the Li family will do what he says, last time you had dinner together, he won't eat you, I will wait for you here at three o'clock." You can trust Young Master Li."

"Yes. You can rest assured." Li Shaowen arched his hands and smiled.

Yue Hua left with Xiao Zhang, leaving only him and Zhi Lan in the living room.

It seems that she has deliberately dressed up today, her hair is pulled up, and the dress highlights her concave and convex curves, which is extraordinarily attractive.Unlike Qing Shui's appearance before, he was a little stunned, and walked over to hold her hand.Zhilan shied away, but he didn't force it.

Zhilan stood alone, and when Yuehua left, she took away her hope and support, and she began to feel uneasy again.

Li Shaowen took her back to the office.When she entered, the female secretary sitting by the door looked at her with doubts.Zhilan looked around at his office, it was clean and tidy, and she just calmed down.

Li Shaowen called his subordinates, arranged the work, stared at his serious work profile, and the orderly arrangement of work to his subordinates, which made her feel a little inexplicable envy.

"Let's go." Li Shaowen quickly finished his work, and said to her gently.At this time, he couldn't help but take her hand, not paying attention to her surprise, and left the office openly.

The act of holding hands made Zhilan uncomfortable, like a lump of melted sugar sticking to her hand, unable to shake it off.When she went out, she didn't dare to look at the female secretary by the door, because she was also a woman, and she read the female secretary's penetrating eyes, and there was a kind of jealousy that made her wish she could eat herself alive.

Li Shaowen led her by the hand, and she immediately became the focus of discussion.How many female employees seem to be sad in the office?It seems that Li Shaowen seems to have his own charm for women.

Zhilan couldn't bear the eyes of everyone who were jealous, surprised or whispering. If the eyes could kill, she would have died several times. She walked uncomfortably fast.

But Li Shaowen deliberately showed more intimacy, and walked out of the firm with her arms firmly in his arms.After getting in the car, Li Shaowen ordered to drive, but the driver started the car without asking any questions.
