Traveling through life to become rich

Jiang Shi was fainted yesterday by Xie Xiaozhang. The doctor struggled for a long time, and finally gave her a strong dose of medicine to wake her up. After that, her face has always been obviously sick, and she has always been sick.

Before she could recover, Xu's mansion sent a mother-in-law to deliver the betrothal gift in the afternoon of the second day. No matter how weak she was, she had to see guests, but...

Holding a few thin pages of red paper in her hands, Mrs. Jiang asked coldly, "What does this mean? This is really the dowry gift for the royal family of Dali Temple." ? If it wasn’t written on red paper, I would have thought it was an ordinary gift list!”

The confidant lady sent by Mrs. Xu Er didn't move when she heard the words, she smiled and said slowly: "Mrs. Jiang, don't get angry. Our wife loves the young master so much. We originally wanted to make it grander. Looks good. It’s just that what Mr. Xie did was really unpopular. It’s a big scandal that a dignified third-class Fuguo General’s nobleman was so downcast that he was detained in a gambling hall because he owed money from gambling. However, in just half a day, it spread in the honorable circle. Because of the marriage with the lady in the mansion, even our master was ridiculed by his colleagues many times, which made him lose all face. When we returned to the mansion, we were very angry. Ma'am, I almost fainted from anger and asked our wife to withdraw the engagement. Our wife is kind-hearted, thinking that if the young lady in the family is divorced, who will be willing to marry in the future, wouldn't it be harming her for the rest of her life, so she tried to be rejected by the master. After scolding a few times, the master was persuaded."

After Jiang's mother-in-law's words, Jiang's hatred for Xie Xiaozhang increased even more, but because of Xie Wanru's dowry, he managed to suppress his anger and said coldly: "Since Mr. Xu dislikes our master's gambling shame, then Wouldn't it be shameful for the family to use this dowry to marry the main wife?"

The smile on the mother-in-law's face disappeared when she heard the words, and she said lightly: "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, Mrs. Jiang, this is not a betrothal gift for marrying the main room, but a gift list for the concubine."

Jiang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand what it meant, it took a while to react, and said sharply: "What did you say!

"

The mother-in-law said unhurriedly: "Using the family name of the mansion as the main room is originally high-ranking. If you don't know how to cherish blessings, it's fine, but such a scandal has happened. The gift list has been sent. Do you want to marry your daughter as a concubine? Retire according to Mrs. Jiang's will. It's just that Mrs. Jiang also thinks more about the lady in the family. After all, Mr. Xie's reputation is not good outside, and he has been divorced before. It's not right to find another marriage in the future So easy."

After listening to her mother-in-law's threatening words, Mrs. Jiang finally understood that the Second Mrs. Xu didn't take them seriously in the first place, and she was willing to come to marry Xie Wanru, but it was because Young Master Xu insisted on marrying a young lady. The main room was a hastily thought up plan to delay the attack, and now I'm afraid I regretted it, so I took advantage of Xie Xiaozhang's gambling.

The woman kept saying that Mrs. Xu's second wife tried her best to prevent her from retiring, but she was actually worried that the resignation would affect their family's reputation.

It's really a femme fatale, it's ridiculous that she tried her best to manage the dowry so that Xie Wanru could establish a foothold in Xu's mansion after she married.Disheartened, Jiang sneered: "The madam of your mansion is really thoughtful, leaving me speechless, I feel a little unwell, you can go back."

The mother-in-law asked after hearing the words: "Then... what is Mrs. Jiang's answer?"

Mrs. Jiang pinched her fingertips fiercely, and said coldly: "Follow your wife."

She had no way out at all, but could only compromise, because Xie Wanru's life would be over after retiring the engagement.

The mother-in-law smiled when she heard the words: "Then I will go back and tell my wife to follow the specifications of the concubine."

After speaking, he stood up, bowed, and left.

Xie Wanru heard about the fact that the Xu family came to deliver the betrothal gift list not long ago, and went to Jiang's room with a happy face to inquire, and when she entered the door, she saw Jiang sitting on a chair with a gray face and a few crumpled red sheets. The dowry slip was placed on the table.

She was heartbroken, and hurried over to take a look at the betrothal gift slip, and immediately became anxious.

"Mother, what's the matter with this dowry list? Why does the young master of Dali Temple Qing's mansion only need such a few things when he marries his wife? Then I won't be laughed at when I get married!"

There was a deep line between Jiang's eyebrows, and she said in a low voice, "It's not the main room, it's the side room."

"What?" Xie Wanru burst into tears when she heard the words, and said anxiously: "Mother, what are you talking about? What's going on?

"

Mrs. Jiang murmured: "What's going on? We were tricked by Xu's family. At the beginning when Young Master Xu wanted to marry Qing Guan as his wife, they used you as a shield. Now that they regretted it, they used your father's affairs to backtrack. Said that you either marry in the past as a concubine, or divorce. What can I do, can I really divorce you?"

Xie Wanru's dream was shattered, her feet were limp and she fell to the ground, crying without restraint.

The Xie Mansion was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the Liyuan Flower Hall was a bit heavy.

Shen Yanzhi sat on the carved chair, took a sip of tea without taste, and Mrs. Shen sat opposite him, with a hesitant expression on her face.After a long time, it was Shen Yanzhi who spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and said softly: "Are you still used to living here?" Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "It's all good, but it's a little uncomfortable to be served by two maids. " Then he paused, and asked tentatively: "Yesterday I took a stroll, the garden here is so big, and there are many servants, why don't you live here?" Shen Yanzhi smiled and said: " My brother likes to do things by himself the most, and he said that the garden here is too big and there is no sense of security, so we didn't live here."

Mrs. Shen nodded, and asked with some doubts: "If that's the case, why did you buy such a big garden?"

Shen Yanzhi said: "A few years ago my brother's grandmother and uncle came to live in Beijing for a few days. The house in East Second Lane was small and there was no spare room, so my brother bought a pear garden for my grandmother and uncle to live in."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help showing admiration in her eyes when she heard the words.

Shen Yanzhi glanced at Mrs. Shen, opened his mouth, but failed to call out 'mother', and asked softly, "In the future... do you have any plans?"

Mrs. Shen paused, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, smiled wryly and said: "What can you plan, just go back and continue to live.

"

Shen Yanzhi couldn't help touching the carp jade pendant with pearls on his waist, which was put on by Xie Mingyu himself in the morning, like

Gaining courage from it, he took a deep breath, looked straight at Mrs. Shen, and asked, "Do you want to stay in Beijing forever?

"

Mrs. Shen was shocked when she heard the words, she couldn't help looking at Shen Yanzhi, Shen Yanzhi's eyes were clear, and she didn't mean to be joking at all.

Mrs. Shen looked complicated, and said in a low voice: "It's not a question of whether I want to..."

Shen Yanzhi interrupted him, and said with a serious expression: "As long as you want, I can ask my brother to help you reconcile with that person, and I will stay in Beijing in the future. I will always take care of you. And I can also see that you are living well." It's not good, otherwise Mrs. Jiang wouldn't have tricked you into Beijing so easily...Mother, I don't want you to live in such a miserable life and be bullied by others."

In the end, he yelled out.

This was the first time Shen Yanzhi called her 'mother' after the two met again.

Mrs. Shen seemed to be stunned when she heard this, and it took a long time for the tears to flow down her face, and she covered her face and began to cry.

Shen Yanzhi got up and walked over, knelt down in front of her, handed her a brocade handkerchief, and asked softly: "Mother, would you like to stay in Beijing and let me take care of you?"

"I am willing." Mrs. Shen cried heart-rendingly while answering. She had thought a lot in the past few days, but she really didn't know how to say it. She really didn't want to go back.

When Xie Mingyu came back in the evening, Shen Yanzhi was sitting on the couch, holding a soft pillow in a daze, and he didn't even notice that he pushed the door in.

"You're sober, what are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Xie Mingyu smiled and snapped her fingers next to his ear.

Shen Yanzhi was so frightened that his whole body trembled for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and quickly smiled and said: "I didn't think about it, brother, you are back." "Lying, your expression betrayed you completely, huh?" Xie Mingyu took off his coat , sat on the couch and held Shen Yanzhi in his arms, kissed his ear, and asked softly: "What's the matter, did you not have a pleasant talk with Mrs. Shen?"

"No." Shen Yanzhi shook his head lightly, hesitated and said in a low voice: "Brother, I have talked to my mother, she will stay in the capital in the future, and I will take care of her, but..."

Xie Mingyu knew what was going on as soon as she heard her call 'mother', and said with a smile: "As expected of me, he is kind, my brother said before, no matter what you do, I will support you, just do what you think Let's do it, let me handle the matter of reconciliation." "Oh? How did brother know that I wanted to talk about this?" Shen Yanzhi sat upright all of a sudden, and looked at Xie Mingyu with bright eyes. "Because my brother is smart!" Xie Mingyu smiled triumphantly.

Shen Yanzhi said sincerely: "My brother is really amazing, thank you brother."

Xie Mingyu kissed him on the lips, and said with a smirk: "However, I have to explain in advance that even if your mother stays in Beijing in the future, you can only live with me, understand?"

Shen Yanzhi smiled and said: "That's natural, I won't leave even if you drive me away, so I don't want to live separately from my brother."
