Wang Xiuxu's wish was very simple: to earn 300,000 taels of silver within three years, and then he would come and burn incense to fulfill his wish.
Mrs. Yao was so shocked that she could not believe her ears.
However, Wang Xiu made a wish and even drew one and signed it.
The sign says: "Harmony and cooperation create a heart, just like bees and butterflies dancing in the shade of flowers. When you leave, the east horse should support you. When you return, you will have ten thousand gold in your bag."
Wang Xiu looked at Mrs. Yao who was still stunned and asked, "Don't you want a root signature?"
Mrs. Yao sneered, this Wang Xiu was too brave to speak.
Three hundred thousand taels??
It is rare for the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate such a large amount of funds, and I have never heard of it unless there is a natural disaster.
Wang Xiu knew that Mrs. Yao was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, and this was the effect she wanted.
Soon, Rongrong came back.
She distributed the money to several ladies and then left. Mrs. Yao watched helplessly as the ladies from the Lu family and the Chen family knelt down and made wishes devoutly. She did not get even a penny from the side.
Wang Xiu asked someone to redeem the broken silver, but she didn’t have a share??
When the angry Mrs. Yao saw Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Zhang entering the main hall, she deliberately said: "I don't have any silver here, do you have any?"
Wang Xiu, who had just taken his sisters to go shopping elsewhere, heard this and said, "Is Mrs. Yao confused? She can't give it to her even if she has it. You are begging for your own family, not for other people's families."
"I prepared it for my sisters. Firstly, they are still young, and secondly, we are all blood relatives and we are one family."
After saying this, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Yao in surprise.
Mrs. Yao blushed deeply and quickly searched for half a tael of silver from her maid. She pinched the little maid several times and her eyes turned red.
The little maid at the back couldn't help but say: "Madam, don't you have a bank note with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Yao glared at her fiercely again.
In order to regain her status, when she made a wish, Mrs. Yao said she would marry her son to a rich girl.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ding didn't have anything special on their faces, but Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Miss Qianjin is good, Miss Qianjin has a lot of dowry."
Mrs. Yao felt that what she said had blocked her plan to get married to the Lu family, but if Wang Xiu was willing to add makeup to Lu Yunran, then there would be no difference between Lu Yunran and the rich lady.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yao ignored them. She chased after them and saw that Lu Yunran and the others were preparing to go to another hall to pay their respects. She took the opportunity to pull Lu Yunran to the empty back hall.
Lu Yunran threw her hand away in disgust and said displeasedly: "Why did Mrs. Yao bring me here?"
Mrs. Yao was unhappy in her heart, but she looked caring on her face: "When I just went up the mountain, I heard your mother say that your Lu family is no longer well-off. Your sister-in-law spends money lavishly, why don't you persuade her to stop?"
Lu Yunran couldn't help but laugh: "Our Lu family has no money, but my sister-in-law spent her own dowry. Do I want to persuade her to spend all the money she has saved on our Lu family?"
Mrs. Yao nodded: "Yes, she married into your Lu family, and the money belongs to your Lu family. Of course you can persuade her."
Lu Yunran: "..."
It’s not a lot of words to speculate, that’s what you say, right?
You couldn't even tell she was sarcastic.
Lu Yunran flatly refused and said: "I don't advise my sister-in-law to treat me lightly and be lenient to us. But I will advise my sister-in-law to be lenient to us and be lenient to herself."
"Mrs. Yao, I respect you as a guest, but you are not an elder of my Lu family, and you are not qualified to interfere with my Lu family's affairs. I hope Mrs. Yao respects herself."
After Lu Yunran finished speaking, he felt slightly blessed and left quickly.
Mrs. Yao's eyes widened with anger and she couldn't believe it. After a while, she clenched her fists and cursed angrily: "What is that?"
Wang Xiu, who had been following them quietly, appeared and said with a half-smile, "What are you talking about, Mrs. Yao? Isn't Mrs. Yao afraid of the Buddha's punishment for the bad words spoken in the temple?"
Mrs. Yao's face turned red, angry and ashamed at the same time.
She didn't know how much Wang Xiu had heard, and she was feeling uneasy. But she saw Lu Yunran turning back, holding Wang Xiu's arm and saying, "Sister-in-law, please leave it alone, she is not from our family."
Wang Xiu patted Lu Yunran's hand, nodded and said, "Yes."
"But the Yao family is a decent family, and Mrs. Yao should respect herself."
Regardless of the fact that Mrs. Yao was almost stamping her feet in anger, she directly pulled Lu Yunran away.
Wang Xiu asked Lu Yunran: "What lot did you draw?"
Lu Yunran's cheeks were slightly red and he whispered: "Sign it."
"That's great, we'll tell mom secretly later." Although Wang Xiu didn't believe this, she was really happy for Lu Yunran.
After they finished shopping, they just walked out of the mountain gate.
Then they saw Lu Yunhong and Chen Anbang coming together to pick them up, and they also brought them sweet soup and cakes.
Mrs. Zhang immediately praised Mrs. Chen and Mr. Ding for having good sons.
Lu Yunhong walked towards Wang Xiu with a box. It was a yellow agate bracelet he had just seen at the foot of the mountain. A small lotus pod fell on it, which was very delicate. The first time he saw it, he thought she would like it.
Sure enough, Wang Xiu opened it out of curiosity, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Bought for me?"
Lu Yunhong nodded: "I happened to pass by and saw it."
Chen Anbang joked from the side: "My cousin doesn't know that we had already walked back, but my cousin suddenly turned back."
Wang Xiu was embarrassed and said: "Then why don't you buy a few more and give some to your sisters."
Lu Yunhong muttered: "My private money is only enough to buy yours."
"puff."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Chen tried to smooth things over by saying, "It would be great if he has such a heart. Besides, what he buys is not as good as what Axiu buys."
Several little girls also happily said that only the elder sister-in-law liked what her elder brother bought... The atmosphere was very friendly, which showed that Wang Xiu was very popular.
Chen Anbang's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled unnaturally.
As he grew up, he always knew that his cousin was both good in character and academics, and he always used his cousin as a role model. He would be satisfied if he could surpass his cousin one day or catch up with him.
But who knew that my cousin, who has always been scornful, was actually a person who lied without batting an eyelid?
Obviously...his cousin paid for the cakes before him, and the banknotes he got were always several hundred taels, not to mention several thousand taels.
Wang Xiu put on the bracelet. Although it was not worth much, she still felt sweet in her heart when she saw the bright yellow amber sparkling in the sun.
It feels good to have someone you care about.
But at this moment, the unpleasant Mrs. Yao slowly walked over. She obviously wanted to blend in with their atmosphere, but she was out of place because of her stiff face and forced smile.
Lu Yunhong noticed it and saw his sister move to the side.
He took Wang Xiu's hand and squeezed it gently, then lowered his voice and said, "How's it going?"
Wang Xiu knew what he wanted to ask and said bluntly: "It's not as good as before."
If there was no temptation, everyone would probably be polite.
After the test was over, she was afraid it would be difficult for her to be polite to Mrs. Yao again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she thought this, Lu Yunhong squeezed her hand, smiled calmly and said, "Then you're welcome."
As he said this, he was worried that she would be worried and said: "Even my husband, I rely on the Wang family, what else do you have to be afraid of?"
Wang Xiu couldn't help but laugh and was in a very good mood.
She knew that Lu Yunhong was reminding her that even if Yao Baizhi became an official, he would rely on his connections with the Wang family to gain a foothold in the officialdom.
As the eldest lady of the Wang family, she did have the confidence not to take Mrs. Yao seriously.
