Traveling through life to become rich

The sky was very cloudy, without a ray of sunshine, and the thick clouds rolled over, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

Xie Minghong was sitting on the couch absent-mindedly, with the lingering smell of wine still staining his sleeves, and the blue and black eyes that hadn't rested for a long time

color.

With a slight sound, the door was knocked, and a servant girl reported softly outside: "Master, Chang Shan is back, do you want to see him now?"

Xie Minghong heard the voice and shouted: "Call him in!"

Chang Shan looked tired from a long journey, and when he came in, he knelt down in front of Xie Minghong, and said in a low voice: "Young master, I invited you over from there, and the one who came in from the back door was arranged in the wing on the west side. "

There was a gleam of light in Xie Minghong's eyes, and he asked anxiously: "Is it really Shen Yanzhi's biological mother?"

Chang Shan said: "Yes, that merchant originally had a wife who was rude and domineering. After she got married, her life was not good and she was often bullied. She was pregnant with a child a few years ago and was miscarried. She felt very resentful in her heart. It's just that she still has to rely on that businessman to live, and has been holding back. I told her about the Xie Mansion in the middle of the capital, and told her that my only son had been by Xie Mingyu's side all the time. I lived a very rich life, so I wanted to find her, so that I could honor her in the future, she was moved when she heard it, and the business of the merchant was also very bad, and because she didn't know how to manage it, the family gradually became financially poor. This incident forced Mrs. Shen to bring her stepdaughter along. That girl is only 15 years old this year, and she is not married yet. I'm afraid she wants to use Shen Yanzhi's relationship to find a good marriage for her..."

Xie Minghong sneered when he heard the words: "Oh, people in the market place, he smells like meat, but the timing is just right... let them hang out for a few days, and then wait for my order. You did a good job on this matter, this It's for you, go and rest." He took off the jade pendant around his waist and gave it to Chang Shan.

Chang Shan hurriedly picked it up, opened the door and backed out.

Xie Minghong sat in the house for a while, changed into clean clothes, turned around and went to Jiang's house.

Because Xie Minghong's failure was a big blow, Jiang's complexion became worse day by day. Even after drinking a lot of tonics, she was always a little sleepy and couldn't lift her spirits.

Seeing Xie Minghong coming in, Mrs. Jiang lowered her eyes and caressed the water-colored jade bracelet on her wrist, and sat on the couch without saying a word.

Xie Minghong waved the maid back, sat down beside her lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, are you still angry with me?

"

Jiang didn't answer, but a line of tears overflowed from the corner of his eyes.

Xie Minghong tugged on her sleeve and said: "Mother, don't ignore me, I know, I let mother down this time."

More tears welled up in Jiang's eyes, she took a handkerchief and wiped it fiercely, then raised her hand and beat Xie Minghong's chest, cursing: "You know you let me down! Stuff! How much thought have I put into you, now that I have failed the exam, it will take three years to take another exam, what will I do in the future? What about the marriage in the Lin family? You are trying to force me to death!"

Xie Minghong made a mistake, let Jiang fight for a while, and after she vented her emotions, she persuaded: "Mother, calm down first, there is no other way to fail."

Wiping her tears with her handkerchief, Mrs. Jiang said bitterly, "Now that I have failed the ranking, what else can I do?"

Xie Minghong said slowly: "I inquired about it a few days ago, and there is a vacancy for a writing position in the Imperial Academy of the Sixth Grade, and you can donate an official."

Instead of waiting for the examination in three years, it is better to donate your future now. As long as you have an official position, the Lin family will not say much

"

〇

Mrs. Jiang was surprised: "Donating officials? This aspect has always been strictly controlled. Besides, it's useless to just take the money, you have to have a way to move around. Your father is useless. Those who had a good relationship before It's an ungrateful white-eyed wolf who won't help at all, where can you find such a way?"

Xie Minghong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said about Shen Yanzhi's biological mother one by one, and said in a low voice: "...Just push this matter to Xie Mingyu. He will be responsible for what happens in the future.”

After hearing the words, Mrs. Jiang cheered up and became active in her heart, but she was still a little hesitant, and said slowly: "Forget it, I will go to see them in two days, if it really works, let's talk about it."

Xie Minghong knew that she had listened to it, so he didn't say much, he just picked up soft words to apologize to Jiang Shi, and the mother and son chatted for a long time in the room

The weather in March is warm and cold, and the smoke cage is still burning inside the house, but the charcoal fire is not as strong as in winter, so it will not make people feel dry and hot, and it can also remove some moisture.

Before dawn, Xie Mingyu woke up, Shen Yanzhi curled up in his arms and slept soundly, and listened carefully, the sound of rain outside continued all night.

Xie Mingyu lowered her head and kissed his forehead, calling softly: "Yanzhi, wake up..."

"Hmm...brother." Shen Yanzhi opened his eyes in a daze, then closed them again.

Xie Mingyu smiled lightly: "It's time, if you don't get up, you will be late."

"Ah," Shen Yanzhi sat up with a grunt when he heard the words, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "I forgot about studying again.

"It's okay, brother remember." Xie Mingyu got off the bed with a smile, took all his clothes, and put them on for him one by one. After learning, just wait there, don't allow yourself to run back, I will let Fulin pick you up."

Shen Yanzhi nodded and complained: "It's been two days, why is it still raining?"

Xie Mingyu fastened the last button on his clothes, kissed him, and comforted him: "It's better than the torrential rain two days ago.

Many, the continuous spring rain is also a good sign, you can bear it for a few more days, and when the rain stops, I will take a few days off for you and take you to the outskirts of the city for a spring outing. When Shen Yanzhi heard that he was going to go for an outing, he suddenly became sober, and said with a smile: "There is no need to ask for leave, it will be a rest day in a few days, and we can go there again at that time, so as not to delay our study." "

Xie Mingyu scratched his nose with a smile, and said, "Oh, I'm a book lover, okay, I'll listen to you."

After sending Shen Yanzhi away, Xie Mingyu didn't sleep anymore, put on his clothes and looked at the account books, and after Fulin came back, he washed up briefly, and asked Fulin to send him to Baiweizhai.

Yuan Chengjie had already arrived, and was sitting at the counter to make plans. When he saw Xie Mingyu coming, he suppressed his voice and said with a mysterious smile: "Morning Mr. Xie, come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

Xie Mingyu walked over with a smile and asked, "Mr. Yuan, what makes you so happy?"

Yuan Chengjie lowered his voice, and said: "My son has received internal news that the emperor will publish the emperor's list next month, recruiting private chefs and pastry chefs to prepare a birthday banquet for the queen mother."

Xie Mingyu raised his brows, smiled lightly and said, "That's all?"

"Of course it's more than that." Yuan Chengjie smiled and showed his big white teeth. "Those who reveal themselves to enter the palace need to go through strict selection and screening after layers of screening before they can enter the palace, but those more famous restaurants and dessert shops will be sorted out by the government. List, and send out a special invitation card to invite them into the palace, their identities are different!"

Xie Mingyu heard it clearly: "Is Baiweizhai in the list?"

Although it is a question, the tone is indeed certain.

"Baiweizhai's business is so good that it's a household name, isn't it a matter of course!" Yuan Chengjie said with pride, "After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is over, everyone in the north and south of the river will know the name of Baiweizhai!"

Xie Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet...is really a good opportunity to stand out.

After talking with Xie Minghong, Mrs. Jiang in Xie's mansion had a plan in mind, and after a few days of rest, her spirit gradually improved, and today she finally ordered someone to call Shen Yanzhi's biological mother and stepdaughter over.

Shen Yanzhi's biological mother was about the same age as Jiang's, but she looked more than ten years older. She was very thin, with a haggard face and a timid look. She wears two old silver hairpins on her head, and she doesn't have any rich or noble decorations on her body, so she is very shabby.

Looking at the stepdaughter again, she was wearing a water-colored double-breasted jacket and a water-blue skirt. They were all newly made clothes, but the embroidery was rough, giving off a cheap slum smack.

A trace of disdain flashed in Jiang's eyes, but she smiled and said, "This is Madam Shen, right? Madam came from a long way, and the journey was hard. I have been unwell for the past few days, but I feel better today. If you are energetic, please come here." Say it, don't hold back, please sit down." Then he shouted, "Tea!" A girl from outside hurried in to serve tea.

Mrs. Shen sat down nervously, and forced a smile when she heard the words, and said, "Hello, Mrs. Jiang, the people in the house took care of her all the way, and it was not hard at all. This is my stepdaughter, named Zhao Mei, Mei Er, Say hello to Mrs. Jiang."

Zhao Mei stepped forward to pay her respects, Jiang accepted it, and pulled out a jade hairpin from her head and gave it to her, saying: "It's not something expensive, let's wear it and play with it."

Zhao Mei picked it up hastily, with an excited look in her eyes, even if she didn't know the goods, she could tell that the hairpin was worth a lot of money.Seeing Zhao Mei's expression, Mrs. Jiang lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "This child looks like Zhou Zheng, and he is lovable just by looking at it. Mrs. Shen is so lucky, are you married?"

Mrs. Shen has never seen much of the world, but she felt that the decorations in the house were exquisite and luxurious. Hearing this, she pinched the handkerchief and said in a low voice: "I'm not married yet, and I came from a poor country. I can't afford Madam Jiang's praise... May I ask you what?" When can I see Yan'er?"

She lived in the mansion for the past few days, and she was very excited all the time, thinking that Yanzhi knew she was coming, and would definitely come to see her soon, but she didn't wait for anyone, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Jiang put down the teacup and said with a slow smile: "There are some beautiful places in our mansion, and a few maids are here to take care of them and take Miss Mei to the mansion, so you don't have to stay here."

Zhao Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly followed Yafa.

After Yafa took Zhao Mei down, Jiang continued: "Surely someone has told you before? Your son Shen Yanzhi has always been by my nephew Xie Mingyu's side, and his friendship is very deep. I have been persuading him They said they should take you over to enjoy the blessings, but he..."

He sighed as he spoke, implying that Shen Yanzhi was unwilling.

Madam Shen felt sad and guilty when she heard it, and said in a low voice: "Don't blame him, Madam may not know that I abandoned Yan'er and remarried at that time, I'm afraid he has a grudge against me."

Jiang looked at her expression and said with a smile: "How can this be? Blood is thicker than water. You are his biological mother. He might not be happy to see you in time. How can he hold grudges."

Mrs. Shen thought: Is this really the case?If you don't hold grudges, why don't you go find her yourself?

Seeing that she was doubtful, Mrs. Jiang smiled softer: "Ma'am is very restful today, I will take you there tomorrow, and you will know when you see Shen Yanzhi."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help asking: "Don't they live in the house?"

Jiang paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, they live in Donger Lane, you will find out when you go to see it tomorrow." Then she winked at the girl next to her: "Don't take Mrs. Shen with you yet. Going to rest? Let the girl take good care of her. Also, when Mrs. Shen goes to see her son tomorrow, remember to prepare some decent clothes for him."

Even though Mrs. Shen was uneasy, when she heard that she would see Shen Yanzhi tomorrow, she couldn't help feeling hopeful, so she followed the maid.After Mrs. Shen left, the smile on Jiang's face disappeared immediately, revealing a contemptuous smile, and after a while, she ordered in a cold voice: "Go, call that Zhao Mei over."
