The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

"Suzhou?"

Mrs. Wen was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that a few months ago, Wen Rui seemed to have sent someone to Suzhou to inquire about something. She didn't care at the time, but thinking about it now, she probably went to find that girl.

"Really married?" Mrs. Wen didn't believe it.

"Yeah." Wen Rui nodded.

"You didn't go and see for yourself?"

"She never said she would wait for me. Now that she has a family, why should I bother."

Come on, co-authoring with her son is still unrequited love, Mrs. Wen sighed, and stopped poking Wen Rui's unhappiness.

"Okay, if you have something to do in the barracks, go first, I'm going upstairs to meet the guests." Mrs. Wen let the door open and watched Wen Rui leave.

After hearing the truth from Rui'er, her original plan today might not work, but it's not a loss to know her son who rarely reveals her heart.

"Fuzhu, go and call Xilian over quietly, I'll ask you a few words first." Mrs. Wen tied the whip back around her waist, and said to the maid beside her in no hurry to go to the small living room.

"Yes." Fu Zhu left in response, and after a while, Xi Lian who was originally in the small living room on the second floor was called.

"What's the situation in the living room? I'm late for a while. Did the guests say anything?" Mrs. Wen asked as she walked.

"You know Mrs. Yu's personality. The other two wives are more reserved and didn't say anything. It's just that Mrs. An seemed dissatisfied on the face, but she didn't say anything." Xi Lian had already seen everything in her eyes .

"What do you think of Mrs. An?"

"Looks like someone who doesn't know much about the general situation, and his speech is a bit frizzy." Xi Lian lowered her head and thought about it, evaluating objectively.

She is a confidant who has been with Mrs. Wen for more than ten years. She has been trained by Mrs. Wen, so her status is naturally different from that of ordinary servants. Even if she directly evaluates the wife of a rich family, no one thinks there is anything wrong.

Mrs. Wen asked, and she answered truthfully, that's all.

"Is that so?" Mrs. Wen was noncommittal when she heard this.

"Ma'am, Mrs. An is not a very good person, but that Miss An is just her niece, she was not raised by her, and the two may not be the same." Seeing this, Xi Lian tried to persuade her.

She knew that Mrs. Wen's real intention for inviting Mrs. An to come today was to take a fancy to Mrs. An's niece who had just returned from studying abroad, and wanted to know the situation with her own eyes.

But... Xilian thought to herself, even if Ms. An's personality is different from Mrs. An's, with such a relative who doesn't know the general, Ms. An probably would not be able to get into Mrs. Wen's eyes.

Sure enough, the expression on Mrs. Wen's face became lighter, "I just said something to Rui'er, don't worry about his getting married, don't talk nonsense when Mrs. An asks you later, just chatting a few words is fine." Let's see them off after lunch."

"Yes."

Mrs. Wen looked out the window and sighed softly. When the sky was getting bright this morning, a light snow suddenly fell in Hankou, which covered the yard thinly, making it look extremely cold.

She raised her hand to smooth the hair around her ears, her bright and majestic eyes were slightly closed, and there were already obvious fine marks at the corners of her eyes.

"Xilian, let's go up, don't make people wait too long."

"Yes."

Xi Lian reached out and wanted to put a cloak with a white fox fur collar on Mrs. Wen, but she was rejected. Looking at the almost brand new cloak in front of her, she suddenly asked, "How did Mr. Xie come here this morning?"

Xi Lian was busy preparing for the small banquet, she hadn't seen Xie Yan this morning, she turned her head to gesture to Fu Zhu, who picked her up for her, Fu Zhu saw this and took half a step forward.

"Mr. Xiao Xie came here. He arrived at home about half an hour ago. When he came, he went to Miss San's room to teach."

"What is he wearing?"

"It's still the same bamboo cloth gown. It should be wearing a jacket inside, but it's too thin to tell."

"Or the one from before?" Mrs. Wen frowned slightly as she looked at the snow outside the window.

"Ma'am, didn't you say you wanted to make more clothes a few days ago, why don't you make some for Mr. Xie?" Xi Lian smiled under Fuzhu's puzzled eyes after hearing the strings.

"No need." Mrs. Wen shook her head, "That child is strong and smart, and making him a new one will make him think more."

Just like last night, when she heard that her second son actually invited someone to eat open-air wontons for a month, she didn't directly change Xie Yan to a better restaurant, but changed that small stall into a workers' canteen. Make a slight improvement on the premise of making the other party suspicious.

Mrs. Wen thought about the "tough" life events of her two sons, and sighed helplessly. She finally understood the meaning of the old saying that children's sorrow cannot be avoided.

However, Mrs. Wen apparently forgot that although all parents in the world worry about their children, her worries are definitely different from most other families in the world.

After all, the Wen family is an atypical wealthy family with all "ruthless people".

"This cloak is made according to my figure, but it's about the same as him now." Mrs. Wen took the fox fur-trimmed cloak that hadn't been worn a few times, and looked inside and out.

"I remember this is the cloak of this year's new work, and I haven't worn it a few times...Xilian, when Mr. Xie went out, you gave this cloak to him, and said that I don't like the wind of the cloak and want to make a new one." One, seeing how thin he is wearing, this is for him to keep out the cold."

"Yes, I will definitely bring the message to Mr. Xie." Xi Lian put away the cloak and said with a playful smile, "This cloak has white fur all over the edges, and it must be suitable for Mr. Xie."

"That child is growing well."

Mrs. Wen smiled with satisfaction, she looks good, her age and background are suitable, and Heng'er herself likes it, a male daughter-in-law is not as easy to find as a daughter-in-law, so she has to pay close attention to him.

"By the way, ma'am." Xi Lian recalled the report from the housekeeper just now, "When you were talking to the eldest young master just now, Mr. Wen came to the house and brought a young lady with him, who should be his granddaughter."

"Mr. Wen is now talking to the master and the second young master in the study. That lady knew Mr. Xie and was taken to the third lady."

"Mr. Wen?" Mrs. Wen thought for a while, but she couldn't think of the reason why Mr. Wen Qibing came to Wen's house in the morning, "Xi Lian, please go to the kitchen and tell me that we will arrange two tables for lunch, and we will eat on the second floor." , Mr. Wen and his men are eating on the first floor."

Mrs. Wen herself can accompany Mr. Wen for dinner, but the other wives may not be willing. Forcing them together will only embarrass both parties, so it is better to separate.

"I have already agreed with the kitchen, and asked them to make a few more. If Mr. Xie and Ms. San are inconvenient, they can eat alone." Xi Lian had thought of this long ago, and said with a smile.

"Count your cleverness."

After Mrs. Wen explained all the affairs of the morning, she was finally free and walked towards the small living room on the second floor together with Xilian and Fuzhu.

Just before entering the door, I heard a low chatter and laughter. Looking closer, it turned out that Mrs. Hong, who ran the newspaper at home, was talking about funny things. Mrs. Yu and another Mrs. Liu followed suit. Mrs. An didn't know why, so she sat aside awkwardly.

The things these three people said were full of all kinds of things from other provinces and foreigners, and she couldn't understand them most of the time, and she didn't want to ask Lu Qi, so she couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Wen watched with cold eyes, took everything into her eyes in a few seconds, and walked in with a smile.

"Several younger sisters are talking about new things while I'm away? Tell me quickly."

Mrs. Hong and the others were talking excitedly, but they didn't notice Mrs. Wen's arrival. After hearing the words, they hurriedly got up, "Madam is here?"

"Rui'er just came home. I went to give some instructions. I came here a little late. Don't blame the younger sisters." Mrs. Wen smiled while sitting on the sofa.

"We're here to have a good time drinking tea and laughing, and we're not in a hurry." Mrs. Hong is a talkative person, "I heard a few days ago that the young master is getting more and more valued by the inspectors. Anyone who sees it won't praise Madam for teaching her well. Woolen cloth."

Hearing Mrs. Hong praise her son, the smile on Mrs. Wen's face deepened, "This kid and his brother have had ideas since childhood, and now he is a young man in his twenties. How can I teach him? It’s just that parents want their children to be safe.”

"That's right. In the blink of an eye, the young and the young are all so old. After marrying a daughter-in-law in the past two years, the madam can wait to have a grandson." Mrs. An finally found a chance and interjected with a smile.

Mrs. An has entered a state of full preparation since Mrs. Wen came in. In her heart, the rest of the people in the small living room are similar to her, and some of them are even worse than her. She naturally has to put on airs, but Mrs. Wen does not Similarly, with the Wen family's influence in Hankou, it would be of great benefit to leak any point through your fingers to his family, so of course we have to make good connections.

Mrs. An's words are fine on the surface, but on the one hand, she is not familiar with Mrs. Wen, and on the other hand, there is a young lady in her family who is going to discuss marriage with Wen Heng, so these words are a bit nondescript.

It sounded like he couldn't wait to sell his own girl, and even put himself in the place of the mother-in-law.

The rest of the wives present were all good people. They heard what Mrs. An was thinking, but they didn't reveal anything. They laughed lightly, but no one answered.

Only Mrs. Yu didn't want the scene to be too embarrassing, so she changed the subject, "Mrs. Hong just preached to the children, which reminded me of my nephew. He just came back from overseas, and he was frizzy. He ran around with a group of people all day long. My sister-in-law was worried." Spit bitterness with me every day."

"Staying abroad is good for men. Young people should be ambitious and make more friends." Unexpectedly, Mrs. An picked up the topic again, "It's a bad thing for a girl to study abroad."

Everyone in the living room knew that there was a niece in her family who had returned from overseas. Hearing this, they looked at each other, wondering what Mrs. An was going to do.

If you want to sell your own girl, is it necessary to say that she broke a big deal?

"I've never met a female student studying abroad. I just thought it must be good to come back from my studies. Mrs. An, why don't you tell us why this is a bad thing?" Mrs. Hong asked intentionally, not thinking it was a big deal.

Mrs. An was happy that she knew something that others didn't know, so she smiled triumphantly, "Mrs. Hong, you only think that those female students go abroad to learn knowledge, how do you know that foreign things are harmful to people, and you don't know how much knowledge you have learned. Make the girl's brain stupid."

"Let's just talk about my niece. When I was in Suzhou in the early years, I met her a few times. She was quite obedient and sensible. But when she came back from overseas this time, oh, I really don't know what to say." Mrs. An sighed and said I didn't know what to say, but my mouth didn't stop.

"It's fine if you don't respect your elders, and you don't stay home all day, and you run around with a bunch of male classmates, and you can't stop them. Just last night, she came back alone when it was dark. I'm just worried. In other words, she lost her temper and turned around and left, and I still haven’t come back when I go out in the morning, and I don’t know where I slept last night, alas.”

"This..." The wives present frowned, not knowing how to evaluate it.

If Mrs. An's words are true, this Miss An's behavior is indeed very inappropriate. Even if she returns from studying abroad with new ideas, there is no reason for her to act frivolously and stay out at night.

But...with Mrs. An's temper, if Miss An really disrespected her very much as she said, would Mrs. An possibly "worried and said a few words" in a good voice?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yu raised her slender eyebrows. She looked at Mrs. Wen at the side, and they looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding.

Mrs. Wen originally thought that there were still people in Rui'er who couldn't let her go, and Mrs. An was not satisfactory, so she let go of Miss An's affairs. After Mrs. An's words, she became a little curious about Miss An's family.

"Ms. An is young after all, and Mrs. An has to take care of her." Mrs. Yu said with a sincere smile.

"I can only do my best." Mrs. An continued to sigh, "Fortunately, that girl in my family is not like this. She is only one year younger than her sister. Not only is she obedient and sensible, she respects the elders, and she doesn't have any problems of being impolite, otherwise I really don't know. What should be done."

"As long as you have met her elders, you will never fail to praise her. When I have time, I will bring her to show my wife, and my wife will know."

As soon as Mrs. An's words came out, the rest of the people present were speechless. Ms. An's birthday was posted in Mrs. Wen's final selection of her daughter-in-law. They all knew that what Mrs. An said just now, was she trying to sell her family to the Wen family? Daughter, do you want to belittle your niece by the way?

Regardless of what Miss An is, Mrs. An's current family business is all obtained from Miss An's father's fortune. Even if Miss An really has a temperament problem, she shouldn't say that as an aunt, let alone You should belittle Miss An to boost your daughter's reputation.

Several wives present were somewhat disdainful of Mrs. An's move, but Mrs. An didn't notice it, or she didn't think there was any problem with it at all.

"Mrs. An thinks that girls should stay at home all the time, and shouldn't see more people, and shouldn't have their own ideas?" Mrs. Yu asked intentionally.

"No, is it possible to run out all day like a man? Who dares to marry such a daughter-in-law?"

"..."

Mrs. An's answer was intended to belittle her niece, implying that she was not suitable to marry into the Wen family, and to promote her daughter by the way. However, as soon as she said this, seeing everyone was silent, she finally realized What.

Isn't the Mrs. Wen in front of them a model of the most "ignorant" and most "man-like" woman in Hankou City?To say that no one would marry someone like her, does it mean that Wen Jiulou married the wrong person?

Mrs. An's back stiffened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out, "Ma'am, I'm not talking about you, you are naturally a hero among women, but when a mother-in-law chooses a daughter-in-law, she should choose a gentle and sensible one to be comfortable, otherwise she will be placed How decent is it to jump up and down at home."

Mrs. An couldn't speak, and her descriptions became darker and darker. Seeing that Mrs. Wen's face was a little ugly, she suddenly remembered a rumor about the Wen family in a hurry, and said it without thinking, "For example, that young lady of your family taught her Obedient and sensible, never let her come out to meet people, nor—”

"Mrs. An!" Mrs. Yu was shocked when she saw that Mrs. An dared to mention this matter, and interrupted quickly.

However, it was too late. Mrs. Wen was sitting on the sofa in the middle, still smiling, but the aura around her suddenly became domineering.

"Jinrui, let Mrs. An talk." Mrs. Wen patted Mrs. Yu's hand with a decent smile, but the two completely different names already showed her attitude.

"I..." No matter how stupid Mrs. An was, she realized that something was wrong.

"I heard you right. Did Mrs. An just mean to say that I think women should be obedient and become vassals; or do I want to say that I can't tolerate people and deliberately abandon girls who are not my own?"

"This, I..."

"Yan girl is reserved and young, so I seldom take her out to meet people before." Mrs. Wen lowered her head and smiled, gently turning the delicate hollow gold bracelet on her left wrist, "But since Mrs. An mentioned her, let her She came here to show everyone what the girl from the Wen family looks like, so everyone can compare."

"Xilian." Mrs. Wen called out her confidant maid, "Go upstairs and ask the third lady to come down to meet the guests, and tell her that I know she is actually a smart child, and she knows how to behave."

"Yes." Xi Lian was startled, bowed her head and walked upstairs quickly.
