Happiness System
Chapter 396: True Gold's Escape 58
Meng Yuxi plans to open a restaurant, a hotel that provides food and lodging. The land has been marked out, and now they are just waiting for the beginning of summer to break ground.
Then we can open for business before winter, when most of the poultry in the breeding area will be available on the market, so we can be self-sufficient and not be controlled by others!
Wen Yujin has gone to work at the City Lord's Mansion. Fortunately, Wen Cheng and others are helping with family matters, and Cen Lei is now a general under her command.
The Wen family is one of the families that has developed relatively quickly in adversity. Most of the people who were lost before have been found, except for those who have died.
The court doctor was also found in the early spring, and he brought back the girl from the legendary desert country of Roland.
The Wen family really has no shortage of manpower. All capable people have been promoted, and many younger brothers have been recruited. They are not afraid of expanding their business.
However, Wen Yujin has always been afraid that Meng Yuxi would be too tired, so he has been suppressing the situation to prevent it from developing too quickly, just to be safe.
Meng Yuxi kept her two sisters-in-law for lunch before asking someone to send them back.
Just after waking up in the afternoon, my adoptive mother Luo Hui came over again.
Although Luo Hui also lived in the Wen Mansion, they lived in the backyard, which was not very close to the main house where Meng Yuxi and the others lived. They did not go in and out through the same door, so they were not easily seen.
"Look, you're going to be a mother soon, and Cen Lei and Master Wen are about the same age. I've been worrying so much that my hair has turned white. If I rely on Cen Lei to find a mother on her own, I'm afraid I'll never be able to become a grandmother in this lifetime!
It’s not that I don’t want him to work with you, but can you at least let him start a family?
A good girl is sought after by all families. Now that the spring plowing is over, everyone is preparing to build a house. Once everyone has recovered, it’s time to think about getting married!
He is a dumb and stupid person, so there will be no place for him when the time comes!
It's going to be a big problem!"
Listening to her adoptive mother's long-winded words, Meng Yuxi felt a headache and asked her directly: "Which girl do you like?"
Luo Hui didn't care about Meng Yuxi's attitude. This adopted daughter started to dislike her when she was in her teens and had not yet returned to the Meng family. Now she is more polite than before!
She thought for a while before saying, "There is a girl who I think is pretty good. I mentioned it to Cen Lei and he didn't mind. She is Mrs. Lin's daughter, Liu Feiyan."
Meng Yuxi thought for a moment before frowning and said, "It seems that Miss Liu is engaged?"
"Oh!" Luo Hui waved her hands, "It was already decided before, so I didn't dare to mention it at that time. The other girls were either too high-class for me to marry or I looked down on them.
Just a few days ago, I went out and met Mrs. Liu. We chatted for a while and asked about the girl. She said that the marriage had fallen through and her ex-fiancé had found a rich man and married someone else in Shanghai!
Really, you can ask someone to ask Miss Liu if she is willing to marry Cen Lei. If she is willing, let's arrange the marriage first!
Your brother came back at noon and told me that they were going out to look for a source of goods. I thought if Miss Liu was willing, we would not treat her badly, and while Cen Lei was out, we could just buy the things needed for the wedding."
Meng Yuxi looked at her speechlessly, "Are you sure my brother wants to marry Miss Liu? Don't ask me here. The Liu family agreed, but Cen Lei gave up."
"No, I asked, and Cen Lei told me personally to make the arrangements. He didn't say he didn't like or wanted to marry Miss Liu."
Meng Yuxi reluctantly agreed, but, "They are leaving the day after tomorrow, isn't it too hasty?"
Luo Hui had her own plans, of course. "Let's exchange a token of love first to finalize the marriage. We'll complete the rest one by one when Cen Lei comes back!"
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't seen Madam Lin for a long time. I just picked some fresh vegetables from the farm and I'll send some over later."
"Well, I won't bother you anymore."
Luo Hui achieved her goal and withdrew immediately.
Meng Yuxi did not waste any time and immediately asked someone to go to the Lin family to deliver the invitation. Then she ate something and took the things over.
When Mrs. Lin received the invitation, she put down what she was holding and asked someone to prepare tea and snacks.
Hearing the noise, he immediately went to meet her, "Oh, Madam Wen, I was wondering why I heard a magpie calling on the tree branch this morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming to visit us today!"
Meng Yuxi smiled and said a few polite words, "I hope I didn't interrupt Madam Lin's business by coming here uninvited at the right time?"
"When Madam Wen comes, my Lin family will be honored! I wish Madam Wen would come over more often!"
Mr. Lin has now also gone to work in the City Lord's Mansion, but this time he and Wen Yujin are on the same level. In addition, the Lin family has received a lot of favors from the Wen family along the way, so it is reasonable for them to treat Meng Yuxi with courtesy when she comes to their house.
Meng Yuxi didn't beat around the bush. She sat down, drank a sip of tea, and then stated her purpose.
"This?" Mrs. Lin had a bit of surprise on her face, but she still said reservedly: "I have to ask my sister-in-law. I haven't been back for some time, and I don't know if Yanyan has found a boyfriend.
But Madam Wen knows that my girl was rejected for marriage, right? It was Huang Shiren who was greedy and vain, and my Yanyan did nothing wrong!
If this is accomplished, the Cen family cannot use the past to control me, Yanyan."
Meng Yuxi nodded, "Of course, if Miss Yanyan doesn't mind that my brother is dull and a few years older than her, the Cen family will naturally treat him well.
I have also met Mrs. Lin, my adoptive mother. Although she is sometimes a little irrational, she is still a good person. She is definitely not the kind of evil mother-in-law who tortures her daughter-in-law!
The Cen family was wealthy many years ago, so Madam Lin doesn't have to worry about my adoptive mother having bad habits and not getting along with the new daughter-in-law.
And my brother...”
Meng Yuxi said a lot of nice things, entrusted the matter to Mrs. Lin, politely declined her offer of dinner, and went back to wait for news.
Liu Feiyan and Meng Yuxi are about the same age. Her marriage was arranged before she fled the famine, and because both families were in mourning, she did not marry late.
As a result, while drifting on the sea, the man couldn't bear it anymore and sold himself to marry a rich man, and she was left behind.
There was nothing wrong with the girl's character. On the contrary, she was sweet-mouthed, optimistic and loved to laugh. If she hadn't been engaged, there would have been countless men vying to pursue her on the ship!
Now we can only say that it is a bargain for Cen Lei!
Mrs. Lin really loved her niece Liu Feiyan. As soon as she sent Meng Yuxi away, she asked someone to harness the carriage and rush back to her parents' home.
Although the Liu family's parents are no longer around, there are only two brothers in the family and they don't have many children, so the family has never been divided.
Liu Feiyan is the daughter of the second wife, and the person Luo Hui met is her aunt, Madam Liu.
That day she had a hunch that Luo Hui had taken a fancy to her niece. Her niece was good-looking and had a good personality, and someone had come to ask about her in the past few days.
Madam Liu talked to her sister-in-law and put the marriage on hold for the time being, but she didn’t expect the Cen family to move so quickly!
Mrs. Lin showed the things she brought to her sister-in-law with a smile, "Look, these were delivered to our door by Mrs. Wen herself! These are all good things that you can't buy outside now. I am so lucky!
The Cen family really wants to marry our Yanyan, and Madam Wen also really likes our Yanyan.
It is said that as soon as Mrs. Cen mentioned it, she rushed over and asked me to ask.
Full of sincerity!"
The Liu family was originally waiting for the Cen family to propose marriage, but now they are hesitant. "The Cen family will live in the Wen family? I heard that the Cen family boy will work for the Wen family in the future. Wouldn't that be like a retainer? How will Yanyan get along if she marries there? Will she be a housekeeper?"
"Ouch!" Mrs. Lin waved her handkerchief, "You guys are so worried! Blame me for not explaining it clearly!
Mrs. Wen said that the Cen family had already fenced off a piece of land for the house and would start building the house when summer began, ensuring that the new daughter-in-law would live in the new house as soon as she moved in!
Moreover, although Cen works for the Wen family, he does have private property and he does not rely solely on the Wen family for his livelihood!
Do you know the shop on the main street? There is one owned by the Cen family!
Besides, the Cen family has a small farm outside, with dozens of acres of land!"
"Oh my god, is the Cen family really that wealthy? Then it's not unfair for Yanyan to accompany the boy from the Cen family!"
Madam Liu clapped her hands and immediately urged her sister-in-law to ask her niece for advice. Such a good family must be seized immediately!
Liu Feiyan naturally had no objection. She had been very anxious recently because she had two younger siblings of similar age. The rule in their Liu clan was that seniority was respected. If she didn't get married, it would affect the marriages of her younger siblings!
Moreover, she still had some impression of Cen Lei. He was tall and strong, looked safe, and had a decent appearance.
Both the Liu family and Liu Feiyan agreed. Madam Lin did not invite them to dinner at her parents' home, and asked them to be prepared, saying that the Cen family might come tomorrow to propose marriage and exchange engagement tokens.
After dropping a depth bomb, Mrs. Lin went home happily. She was still wondering what kind of matchmaking gift Mrs. Wen would arrange for her!
When Meng Yuxi received the news, she immediately sent someone to inform Luo Hui and told her to go and propose marriage the next morning.
Wen Yujin just came back from get off work, so she told him about this.
Wen Yujin listened with a smile and said, "Cen Lei is also a contributor to our family and the uncle of the children. We should contribute to the betrothal gift and the subsequent marriage."
Meng Yuxi nodded, "I think so too, we should express our opinions both publicly and privately.
But it's not a good idea to be too high-profile right now, so we'll take out a set of headgear and pay for the four ceremonies, and the rest will be added to the wedding and the manor."
"Xier is so thoughtful!"
He looked up and said to Wen Cheng, "You guys will be treated the same way in the future! If there is a girl you like, just tell the lady and ask her to find someone to talk to you.
If not, wait a little longer and I will ask the official media to introduce it to you later!"
Wen Cheng touched his nose and decided to confess. "Master, Madam, Xiao Xia and I are in sync. I want you to give birth to the little master and then we can get married. I beg you to grant my wish!"
Meng Yuxi looked at the blushing Xiao Xia in surprise, "You hid it well enough!"
"Madam, your servant, your servant..."
Meng Yuxi waved her hand, "It's okay, I have limited energy right now, let's talk about it after I finish dealing with Cen Lei's matter!
Your new house has not been found yet, I am not in a hurry and I ask you not to be anxious either."
Xiao Xia's face turned even redder, "Madam, I am not in a hurry."
Wen Cheng looked at Xiao Xia lovingly, "Madam, if Xiao Xia is not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry either!"
They had always been worried about the master and mistress' objections and had not dared to put the matter on the table. Now, it was great that they could have contact openly!
"Ahem!" Meng Yuxi coughed lightly, "Although this lady has agreed to your marriage, you still have to do your job well!
Xiao Xia, go tell the housekeeper and ask him to pick out a few maids..."
It's difficult. She has to adapt to other maids again.
