Chapter 47 The Ugly Daughter-in-Law Must See Her In-Law
Chapter 47 The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her parents-in-law
Xiao Wei did not enjoy the pleasure of becoming famous, but he suffered from the troubles of becoming famous. Before the incident on the literature website was over, Xiao Xuan once again publicized Xiao Wei's "new work". As a result, he became famous in the first place.
Xiao Wei immediately became famous all over the world. Just by adding up the poems and essays delivered to the palace by the literati and poets who came to discuss with him every day, he could be several feet tall.
The magnificence really shocked Xiao Wei to the point of dizziness - Xiao Wei knew his own business well, and he only had so much material in his stomach. If he really wanted to learn from each other left and right, no matter how much material he had, he wouldn't be enough.
, Zangzhuo became Xiao Wei's only choice. He stayed in the palace for a month without leaving the door, and became the boss of the business, leaving all the affairs of the trading company to Tang.
Fatty, fortunately, Fatty Tang liked that tune. Not only did he not protest against Xiao Wei's leisure, but he happily took it all in, so everyone got what he wanted.
The days passed like this day by day. In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival in the 16th year of Hongxuan's year had passed. The snow began to melt. It was very cold. Although the fox fur jacket he was wearing was very thick, Xiao Wei still felt cold.
I was panicking. The cold was not because of the cold weather, but more because of the coldness in my heart. In the past few months, everything had gone smoothly, especially Fatty Tang, who had managed things extremely beautifully.
——Although Tang Da was a fat man, he was very smart in business matters. Whether it was hiring camel teams, mobilizing supply sources, or dealing with the Ministry of Revenue, Taipu Temple and other yamen, he did everything neatly and without fuss.
, now everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind, and the problem lies precisely in this east wind - the caravan is about to set off, but Xiao Wei has not yet informed his father and mother of the matter, and is walking on the road at the moment
On the way to the main courtyard, Xiao Wei couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.
What should I say? This question has been bothering Xiao Wei for several months. Every time he sees his father and mother, Xiao Wei always wants to talk about it, but when the words come to his mouth, he doesn't know.
How should I put it? They have been putting it off again and again, and now the caravan is about to set off. Xiao Wei has not discussed this matter with his family yet, and he is getting anxious. This matter is no longer a problem.
There is no way to delay, no, Xiao Wei can only bite the bullet and go to see his mother, hoping that his mother can help clear the old man's end. The question is whether he can convince Liu Yuan, Xiao Wei is a little sure in his heart.
They all deserve it, but the ugly daughter-in-law still has to see her parents-in-law, right? At this point, Xiao Wei can only force himself to do it.
"Little prince, you are here. Come on, it's cold outside. Hurry up and sit inside." As soon as Xiao Weng walked into the gate of the main courtyard, he saw Zijuan, the most obedient maid beside Princess Liu Yuan, leading several servants in a hurry.
He came out and greeted me quickly.[
"Sister Zijuan, is my mother in the courtyard?" In the past, when Xiao Wei caused trouble, Zijuan always helped to clear the way. Now seeing Zijuan personally coming to greet him, he did not dare to neglect and hurried away for a few seconds.
Step, asked with a smile.
"Here you are, young prince, please. I will inform you right away." Zicuckoo smiled slightly, said blessing, and hurriedly led Xiao Wei to the yard, only taking a few steps.
Then, he couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "My dear prince, your Majesty is in a good mood today. You came at the right time."
"..." After being teased by Zicuckoo, Xiao Wei couldn't speak for a while, then he shrugged his shoulders and said haha, which was considered vague. He walked all the way into the hall and saw his mother leaning forward.
Leaning on the brocade cushion next to the couch, he was giving instructions to the housekeepers. He rushed forward and bowed: "Concubine, my child is here to greet you."
"Wei'er, come here, come to mother." When Liu Yuan saw that his most beloved son was coming, Liu Yuan waved his hand and dismissed the housewives. He waved his hands with a smile and summoned Xiao Wei.
around.
"Mom, I have something to do, um, ah, um..." Xiao Wei obediently came to Liu Yuan's side, opened his mouth, and wanted to tell the story, but he didn't know where to start.
Time stuttered a bit.
Xiao Wei always behaved like this every time he committed a crime. Liu Yuan had long been used to it. He smiled slightly, reached out and tapped Xiao Wei's forehead, and joked: "After all, who did you offend again?"
Young Master, huh?"
"No way, mother, my child is staying at home these days. Otherwise, why don't you ask Yan Hong?" Xiao Wei scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a shy face: "Mom, my child has a child.
I have to ask you, that, ah, hey, it's a matter of the trading company. I think my mother knows about it. Spring is about to begin, and the child wants to go out for a walk, so he can visit his grandpa by the way. Please
Mother’s blessing.”
As soon as he heard Xiao Wei mention this matter, the smile on Liu Yuan's face slowly solidified, a pair of red phoenix eyes flashed with light, and a wave of coercion arose spontaneously. Although Xiao Wei was successful in martial arts, he had also experienced
Unable to resist the power of a master like Liu Yuan, his complexion turned pale for a moment, and he hurriedly called out in a low voice: "Mother, baby..."
"Hmm." Xiao Wei's soft call sounded. Liu Yuan seemed to wake up and said softly. The overflowing pressure disappeared instantly. After silently sizing up Xiao Wei for a while, he stretched out his hand.
He stretched out a hand, touched Xiao Wei's head, and sighed: "Since you want to go, mother can't stop you. It's just that the chaos outside is not comparable to that of the capital. Everything needs to be done more."
Just be careful."
What, this is it? Xiao Wei originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to agree to his request without asking any more questions. Surprised, he couldn't help but get excited and said:
"Mom, don't worry. The baby is all ready. The court approval, the camel team, and the goods are all ready. Everything will be fine. It's just that my mother has to help Xiaowei to talk to the father."
As the saying goes, a mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. What's more, Xiao Wei's trip to the outside world this time is not a sightseeing tour. The risks inside are extremely high. If you are not careful, you will never be able to come back. The situation will be Liu Yuan
He felt like a mirror in his heart. If possible, Liu Yuan would never want Xiao Wei to take this risk. However, Liu Yuan had no choice. Looking at Aiko's excited smile, Liu Yuan's heart suddenly twitched.
He touched Xiao Wei's head lovingly, and after being silent for a long time, he said warmly: "Wei'er has grown up, and it's time to go out and see the world. Here we go to Yanxi, and we will see the mountains and rivers all the way.
The road is rugged and difficult, and bandits are rampant. Don't be careless. If your father has to worry about it, just go and talk to your mother."
"Well, thank you, mother." Upon hearing Liu Yuan's instructions, Xiao Wei, who had been worried for several months, felt relieved. He quickly nodded in response, thought about it, and asked with some uneasiness:
"Mom, I haven't met my grandpa and uncles yet. Tell me, what kind of gifts should I prepare for my child?"
As soon as Xiao Wei mentioned his grandfather and uncles, Liu Yuan fell silent and didn't say a word for a long time. Finally, he took a long breath and said, "It's the best gift for you to go. As for the rest, I'll see you there."
You know, mother, I won’t say more, you go and get ready.”
"Yes, mother, please leave me." Xiao Wei saw that Liu Yuan didn't want to mention what happened with his grandfather. He was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He bowed respectfully and left.
Go to the room.
"Oh, idiot, idiot..." After Xiao Wei left, Liu Yuan sat alone on the couch and didn't move for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and murmured a sigh... It was a rare coincidence that Xunjia (Big Brother)
Officials of the Yin Dynasty had one day off every tenth day, which was called Xun holiday), so Chen Mingyuan took a rest and slept until three o'clock in the morning.
I ate some white porridge for breakfast, and asked my servants to make a pot of West Lake Longjing. I sat behind the desk in the study, sipping it happily, humming a tuneless tune from time to time, feeling so comfortable.
However, just after taking a few sips of a pot of tea, the second son Chen Baitao rushed in in a panic, shouting: "Father, father, things are not going well." Chen Mingyuan's good mood was completely disturbed immediately.
Got a smash.
"You bastard, you were so panicked, you said, what's going on!" Chen Mingyuan angrily put the small teapot in his hand on the copy and cursed angrily.
"Ah, father, it's like this. The child has received reliable information. That bastard Xiao Wei is really planning to go to Yanxi to sell horses." Chen Baitao has always been afraid of his father. When he saw Chen Mingyuan getting angry, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and tightened his grip.
He hurriedly explained.
"Huh? Is this really happening?" Chen Mingyuan actually didn't take it to heart when Xiao Wei had a bet with the emperor in court. In his opinion, Xiao Wei's dissolute nature was just lip service at best.
It's just kung fu. Even though the affairs of his trading company were in a turmoil, Chen Mingyuan still didn't take it seriously. He decided that Xiao Wei was just putting on a show and sent a caravan to Yanxi for a tour.
Returning the horses was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, but when he heard that Xiao Wei actually led the team there in person, Chen Mingyuan immediately lost his composure. He suddenly stood up, widened his eyes, and drank loudly.
"Father, it's true. I have reliable news. The day for that guy's departure has been decided. It's on the first day of February. Father, please make up your mind. You can't just watch that guy get complacent."
Seeing that his old man was having a seizure, Chen Baitao did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported the incident.[
"Damn it!" Chen Mingyuan cursed fiercely and paced back and forth anxiously in the study, unable to come up with a good idea for a while.
"Father, I have a plan, do you think it can work?" Chen Baitao came closer and muttered in a low voice: "..., this should be able to eliminate future troubles forever."
"Huh?" After listening to Chen Baitao's suggestion, Chen Mingyuan said softly, but did not reply immediately. His face kept changing. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Five thousand taels of silver is not much, but this matter is not trivial.
, if something goes wrong, disaster will come, do you know?"
Chen Baitao replied without hesitation: "Father, don't worry, the children have been arranged and kept in case they are lost!"
"Well, that's good. I'll go to the accountant to collect five thousand taels of silver. Remember, you have to be careful about this matter. You can't show up in person. Just let someone else do it for you. Let's go." Chen Mingyuan thought about it for a while, and finally
Still feeling that Xiao Wei's trip was too much of a threat to him, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Yes, father, I know how to do it." Upon hearing his father's agreement, Chen Baitao bowed excitedly and hurried to the accounting office...
