The reborn cannon fodder

Lianzhou County is located in the north of the interior of Yunnei, and not far to the west is the border of the two countries, and because of the developed waterways in this county, when businessmen from the two countries choose to travel by water, they will often pass by here.

Except for aquatic products, the county has no other distinctive products. It is only because of the large number of merchants that the commerce can be regarded as developed. However, because the flow of people is also very complicated, the law and order in the county is not easy to manage.For officials at all levels in the county, this is a place to hone their talents. It is not so easy to make some political achievements, but it is even more difficult to stay in office for a few years without merit.

Therefore, most of the officials in the county, big and small, are busy all day long. On the contrary, those official wives who followed this husband to take up the post seem extremely leisurely in comparison.

Therefore, in order to expand contacts and make colleagues for the busy husband, the lady diplomacy here is particularly lively.

As the head of the official wife, the magistrate of Lianzhou County, every half a month, either in her own mansion, or in several well-known flower gardens in the county, to enjoy the flowers, the moon, the snow... whatever the reason , opened a tea party, and invited all the noble ladies in the county to come and gather. This matter has continued to this day, and the county guard has changed several times, but it still continues, and it has become the most enthusiastic activity of the noble ladies in the city.

On this day, outside Zhuangzi with the most beautiful scenery beside Xingming Lake in the county, there were people coming and going again, and horse-drawn carriages gathered there.Guards in different clothes stood guard outside the courtyard, while the courtyard was full of laughter.

The scenery by the lake is pleasant, the breeze is blowing on the face, and the flowers are full of flowers, which makes all the people who come here feel very relaxed and happy. They can't help but secretly sigh that the county magistrate's wife has found another good place.

"I am able to entertain you here this time, and I would like to thank Mrs. Wang Cheng for lending the place." Fang Qinshi, the county guard's wife, saw that everyone was seated, and she spoke first. .

Everyone heard this, but secretly said in their hearts that it is true!In this whole county, besides that one, who else can be so rich and powerful?They heard a while ago that the whole land with the best view by Xingming Lake was bought at one go, and all the small houses before were demolished, and a beautiful house was rebuilt.At that time, they guessed whether it was the rich lady of the Wang family who made the move.

But I heard Mrs. Fang continue to say: "Mrs. Wang also asked my concubine to accompany you. Today, she has other important matters and can't come. I hope you can enjoy the scenery and flowers here and come back to your heart's content."

"Where is there, I really want to thank Mrs. Wang for her generosity, and I also want to thank Mrs. Fang for your connection, so that I have the opportunity to appreciate such a beautiful scenery." Naturally, they would not go against the tune, but thanked each other politely, and the whole yard was in harmony for a while.

A young lady said with a smile: "It has been more than a year since Mrs. Wang came here. No matter how busy Mrs. Wang is, she has never missed Mrs. Fang's tea party. The footsteps really make me curious."

Mrs. Fang is quite old, and she can clearly see the faint jealousy under the innocent and cheerful expression of this young woman.And even though the other female relatives were doing other things pretending not to care, they all pricked up their ears, waiting for her answer.

With a sigh in my heart, there are so many ladies and ladies present, how many people can not be jealous of that one?Even if it's me—that's all, why bother to think about these things.

She evoked a smile, pretending to be ignorant, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Mrs. Wang's natal brothers and sisters came to visit together. The three of them have a deep brother and sister relationship. Naturally, Mrs. Wang will receive her in person."

"So it turns out that Mrs. Wang's natal family has come."

"I heard that Mrs. Wang's natal family is in Qiancang, which is very far away. I didn't expect her natal family to come here to visit."

"Madam Wang has been married for less than two years, and she and her natal family really have a deep relationship."

"Her elder brother, isn't he the one who gave away the family business directly as a dowry?"

As soon as the last sentence came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and some wives cursed bitterly in their hearts, what a prodigal son!There was a smile on his face, and he said something like brother and sister love.And some official ladies who came with their mother couldn't help but look envious.

As for how much money Mrs. Wang's wife Mu family has, no one in the entire county knows, anyway, it's a lot, a lot, a lot... that's all.

Most people only remember that when Mr. Wang first came to Yueming City under Lianzhou County to take up his post, everyone's impression of him was only that this person was a direct descendant of the Wang family in the capital, and he was thrown by his family to exercise, so remember not to offend him.

Unexpectedly, shortly thereafter, the Wang family began to open various shops in the city one after another, and also bought many farms in the suburbs.At that time, most of the people could only say praise, the Wang family was generous, sent them down to train their children, and gave back so much money.

But it didn't take long before the whole county was full of various shops opened by people from the Wang family, and every business was full of customers.

What is even more disturbing is that these newly opened shops did not conflict with some of the original local businesses, and most of them attracted merchants.Many merchants spit out the money without hesitation when they saw the things in the firm, and only said that they could make a lot of money by taking them to a certain place.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that such a large amount of financial resources could be developed in just a few months. How could it be that a family of officials who have been officials for generations can casually give it to their children?

There are those who are curious for a while, those who are envious, and those who secretly make up their minds.

The salaries of Yunguo officials are generous. On the other hand, if they are caught for bribery, they will be punished very severely and will affect the whole family, so very few people dare to reach out.Most of the officials and officials have a good standard of living, but it is difficult to become rich.Don't say that Yunguo does not prohibit business, and even encourages businessmen to develop. Not everyone who is an official has someone who is good at business. What's more, if the management is not good and loses money, if you want to use power for personal gain, you will be caught and followed. Corruption and bribery is the end, really few people are willing to take this risk.

Therefore, when they suddenly saw such a distinctive official family as the Wang family, some people from small families made up their minds.

Although Yunguo doesn't encourage women to be young, it doesn't prohibit them either.Those big families and big merchants, some of whom like to restrain women with ancient laws, will also ask them to be virtuous and magnanimous, and take concubines for their wives. Therefore, the more wealthy families are, the more wives and concubines are in groups at home.

And this Mr. Wang Lingfei was just when he was young and lustful, and there was only a new wife in his family.Speaking of which, Mr. Wang is handsome and talented. He is the type that many boudoir girls like. In addition, his family background is outstanding. His father is not only the leader of the big city of Qiancang, but also the next head of the Wang family in the capital city. Now I have added an even more tempting one: he is very rich!

If you can build a relationship, not to mention the smooth career from then on, but the official career will be much smoother, and being rich means living a comfortable and luxurious life, and if you have relatives at home or a good-looking daughter who is in the boudoir, what is in your heart? The abacus crackled.

So a few days later, the threshold of Wang's Mansion was trampled down by countless icemen, but unfortunately they all returned in vain.After Wang Lingfei publicly stated that he had no intention of taking concubines, the whole county spread the rumor that the bride in Wang Lingfei's family was unvirtuous and jealous, and restrained her husband like a Hedong lion.

Mu Changyi scoffed at this and didn't bother to pay attention to it, but Wang Lingfei who heard about it was extremely annoyed.

After he found out the source of several rumors, he directly resorted to thunderous means to punish these people one by one, and even secretly released the news that the family property purchased by the Wang family here came from his wife Mu's dowry, and all management The affairs of the family are all in charge of the Mu family, and the Wang family does not interfere.

In this way, the rest of the people rested their minds.

However, Master Wang's act of loving and protecting his wife, as well as Mrs. Wang's wealth and wealth, left a very deep impression on people.

Some well-informed people inquired more about Mrs. Wang from countless channels.

To say that on weekdays, all the wives will participate in the tea party of the sheriff's wife. Apart from thinking that Mrs. Wang is young and beautiful, cheerful, and a good person, all the wives don't pay much attention to it. Who would have thought that the news at this time would make Shocking - the property under Mrs. Wang's hands is very likely to be more than the combined property of officials and big merchants in their entire county? !

It's scary, okay?

Is this still a dowry?Which family will come up with so much dowry to marry a daughter?Money is not so capricious!

Finally, someone couldn't help it. During a tea party, a lady asked Mrs. Wang this question face to face, taking advantage of the warm atmosphere.

Even though everyone knew that it was impolite for her to ask, no one stopped her.

Mu Changyi didn't evade it either, and said openly that his brother loved him too much, and thought that it was okay for a woman to run the house, so when she got married, he directly gave her half of the family business.

As soon as the answer came out, everyone couldn't believe it for a while, and then there were countless words of praise mixed with envy, jealousy and hatred.

It turns out that this seemingly innocent and lively bride of the royal family is also an expert in management!This Qiancang's Mu family really doesn't pay much attention to it, how could they imitate the customs of that Yu country and let a woman run the house?Could it be that her elder brother is incompetent?

It's a pity that all kinds of malicious speculations were eventually slapped in the face by the facts.

They can only sigh in their hearts, they are both women, how can there be such a big gap...

Originally, compared to the women in Xiao Country, they thought that they lived in Yun Country very comfortably, and the world was not harsh. Many people would even sneer at those women in Yu Country who were said to be able to be the masters of their own affairs, and men who regarded women as emperors. However, women in Daoyu Country are too unruly and out of proportion, how can they be loved by their husbands?

But it was only when they had such a comparison around them that they realized that those thoughts before were nothing more than self-consolation that was more than enough and more than what was below.Don't you see, Mu Changyi is in charge of a huge family business, and manages it in an orderly manner. Isn't life still moist?Doesn't the husband still love Zhong?

But today, when they first heard that Mrs. Wang's super generous elder brother and her equally wealthy elder sister came to Lianzhou County together to visit their younger sister who had been married for less than two years, they suddenly felt unexpected. , and a reasonable feeling.

Thinking about her elder sister who shared the same family property, I only heard that she is not married yet, and I don't know whose family's son will be so lucky to find this young lady of the Mu family...
