On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

"Ugh……"

Bell stood aside and counted carefully. This was the forty-third sigh that her young lady had sighed today.

That day, the young lady took a brocade box and went out. When she came back, she collapsed on the bed and never went out again. Ling Dang never heard her talk about the man who appeared in the lady's painting. Was the two of them quarreling?

"Miss, why haven't I heard you mention that Mr. Weng in the past few days?"

Lingdang still didn't hold back and asked what was on her mind.

"Ugh……"

Xu Shihuan sighed for the forty-fourth time and said slowly:

"Young Master Weng, his surname is Wen, and his name is Wen Yidi."

Upon hearing this, Lingdang's eyes suddenly grew three points bigger:

"Wen Yidi? Imperial merchant Wen Yidi? That lady should stay away from him!"

Hearing Lingdang's words, Xu Shihuan became interested and asked quickly:

"Why should you stay away from him?"

Lingdang originally thought that Xu Shihuan couldn't help but sigh because he thought Wen Yidi's status was too low, but hearing what she meant, it turned out to be not the case? Could it be that the young lady doesn’t know the status of the Wen family in Wanhua Kingdom?

Lingdang didn't care about her status as master and servant, moved a stool and sat next to Xu Shihuan, leaned into her ear and whispered about the Wen family.

Many years ago, when there was no one with the surname Li in this world, the Wen family was a famous businessman. At that time, businessmen were not humble, they had huge wealth, and everyone was proud to be in business.

Young and strong men do not want to obtain fame or go to the battlefield. They just want to work as a clerk in the Wen family's shop. After a few years, they have experience and have some spare money, and then they can start their own business.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, this would not be a bad idea. It's a pity that the weather does not go as planned, with heavy rains, famines, and plagues... Over the past few years, the lives of ordinary people have become increasingly difficult.

Wealth is in the hands of businessmen. They live well and live a worry-free life. The people worked hard, but in the end they gained nothing, and even survival became a problem.

The ancestors of the Li family were out-and-out farmers. They were forced to a dead end, so they gathered all the farmers in the village and rushed into the homes of wealthy people doing business.

They killed people, set fires, and also took money. This group of people reaped the benefits immediately. They found that as long as they killed the businessman and took the money into their own hands, they could live their lives.

Their team grew bigger and bigger, killing more and more merchants, and finally they had the ability to compete with the imperial court. Not long after, the leading ancestor of the Li family ascended to the throne.

They thought that by killing all the merchants, they would usher in a peaceful age. But soon, the Li family ancestor discovered that without businessmen, his throne would not be stable.

It takes money to maintain a huge army, it takes money to organize imperial examinations to select knowledgeable people, and it takes even more money to maintain the expenses in the palace.

Simply relying on collecting taxes from the people cannot meet this huge expenditure. If the tax collected is too high, it will inevitably arouse public outrage over time.

The ancestors of the Li family thought of merchants.

At this time, most of the businessmen in the world had lost their lives, and very few survived.

But the Wen family is still there, their shops are spread all over the country, and there are not a few people working for the Wen family. These people have now gathered together to hold on to Huzhou.

The ancestor of the Li family gave up the idea of ​​attacking Huzhou. He sent a message to talk to the head of the Wen family.

A few days later, the head of the Wen family entered the palace. A few days later, the Wen family in Shanghai received an imperial edict, and the head of the Wen family was granted the title of Imperial Merchant.

Imperial merchants, as the name suggests, are royal merchants. You need to be responsible for the royal family's large and small purchases and manage the world's merchants. But what the world doesn't know is that 70% of this businessman's income goes into the pocket of the imperial court.

The Imperial Merchant has no rank. Even if he is a ninth-grade Sesame Official, his official position is above that of the Imperial Merchant. The imperial business is a hereditary system. When the eldest son of each generation of the Wen family reaches the age of fifteen, he will take over the position of imperial business.

At the same time, all the businessmen in the world were labeled as lowly. They cannot take the imperial examination or join the army. It can be said that one generation has been engaged in business, and the next generation can only be engaged in business.

After that, the Wen family seemed to have regained its former glory. They buy low and sell high, make countless fortunes, and bear the infamy of the world.

He is a profiteer and a cheap businessman. In Wanhua Kingdom, even the beggar on the roadside has a higher status than the businessman.

Only then did Xu Shihuan understand why Wen Yidi said that he was the eldest son of the imperial merchant Wen family. This reminded her of his lowly status.

"Miss, you don't have time to worry about him right now. The master and his wife have been busy looking at people for you these days. It is estimated that you will be able to meet them in a few days and choose the one that suits your heart. "

But Xu Shihuan was not in the mood to meet. She originally planned to try not to contact Wen Yidi in the future, so that she could stop thinking about Wen Yidi.

But what Zingdang said just now made it difficult for her. If she alienates Wen Yidi as soon as she learns his identity, will Wen Yidi feel that she also looks down on businessmen?

Xu Shihuan didn't think much of businessmen. Dynasties changed, kings became kings and bandits failed. This kind of thing has happened many times in history.

Besides, the fact that the world looked down on businessmen was also intentional on the part of the imperial court. Xu Shihuan could not influence others, but she would not look down on Wen Yidi just because he was a businessman.

Just when Xu Shihuan was worried, Mrs. Xu suddenly came over and said urgently:

"Shihuan, go clean up quickly! I have made an appointment with General Cheng to meet you at Qiongxian Tower at noon!"

Upon hearing this name, Xu Shihuan's eyes widened instantly and he asked quickly:

"Little General Cheng? Could it be Cheng Huaiyuan?"

Mrs. Xu's next words made Xu Shihuan's heart completely freeze.

"That's right! It's him! You don't even know that your mother and I have asked almost all the suitable families these days, but no one agreed to it when I heard it was you. Little General Cheng decided to do this for the sake of your grandfather. I agree to meet you, but you must not screw it up!”

Xu Shihuan felt that her mother was joking with her. Who said it before? Looking at the entire Yong'an City, there is no one with a better family background than hers. Why is it that no one wants her now?

"Mom, didn't you tell me to choose? How can I choose if Cheng Huaiyuan is the only one?"

Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, and while pulling Xu Shihuan to change clothes, she said:

"Choose? Do you still want to choose? Do you know that no one dares to marry you even if the second prince is there? Cheng Huaiyuan only agreed after I said all the good things to his mother. If you arrange the marriage today If it’s smashed, then there’s no need to worry about it, just wait for the second prince to come and marry you!”

Having said that, the maids and maids in the mansion gathered around and were busy in an orderly manner under the command of Guan Shanyue, vowing to dress Xu Shihuan in her most beautiful look so that Little General Cheng would fall in love with her at first sight.
