Mrs. Wu was particularly unhappy. Her mother-in-law’s family had found the set of rubies for her. The rubies were of excellent quality, and they were hired by a famous master in the capital. The jewelry on her head and face was gorgeous and exquisite. A set like that would cost three or four thousand at least.
Two, she originally planned to wait until the limelight at home was over, then wear that mask when going out to show off.
As a result, the jewelry was only two days old when her husband asked her to give it to Yun Niang’s daughter. When Yun Niang entered the palace, she almost posed a threat to her status. If she hadn’t been ignorant of current affairs and adopted a cold attitude, her husband would be indifferent.
After all, it’s not certain who will make the final decision in the back house now.
Wu Shilin saw her expression in his eyes and said, "You have no future. When our family becomes an imperial merchant, won't you be able to buy any jewelry you want? It's just a set of appearances, so why put on such a petty expression."
Mrs. Wu thought about the same reason, and then she became a little calm. She said with the calm and loving attitude that a legitimate mother should have, "Shu Shu also called me mother. As a mother, how can I be reluctant to give things to my children. I just feel that I am just a good person."
If that's not enough, several other children have made new jewelry some time ago. When the time comes, I will pick out a few styles from the capital and give them to Shushu. It also lets her know that although she is away from home, our family is still thinking about her.
"
Wu Shilin looked a little more satisfied. No matter what his wife was thinking, he still had to act like a loving mother on the outside.
Although Mrs. Wu's heart was bleeding, she had to ask her confidants to take out the set of masks and add some gifts, which were nothing more than jewelry, bird's nests, and medicinal materials.
Wu Shilin attached great importance to the pedal spinning wheel mentioned by Wu Shu in the letter, and specially sent his eldest son Wu Xiuping to Guangning County.
Shuhei has a calm personality, he does things with skill and will not be deceived by his subordinates, so sending him is perfect.
Wu Xiuping knew that this matter was related to the future layout of the Wu family, so he packed up his things and set off for Guangning County that day.
The Wu family has already failed once in Guangning County and will not fail again. No matter what, they have to get the blueprint of the spinning wheel.
The day after Wu Xiuping arrived in Guangning County, Wu Shu found a reason to come to the pawn shop to find him.
She lowered her eyes. She was wearing sky blue Ruyi pattern Song brocade, with a silk flower on her head. She bowed her head, as graceful as a delicate flower shining on the moon, and said, "Brother."
That gesture was indescribably elegant and moving.
When Wu Xiuping saw how she was dressed, he knew that she was very popular around Su Yueling, and her outfit was no worse than that of the Wu family's steward. No wonder she got such crucial news. He softened his expression, with a faint smile on his lips,
"There is no need to be polite between us brothers and sisters."
"This is a gift from mother to you. Although you are not at home, you are still the young lady of the Wu family. The set of hair and noodles inside is still a treasure of mother, and she is reluctant to give it to your sister-in-law."
Wu Xiuping was already married and his legitimate son, so he naturally had to say something nice to win Wu Shu over to their side. As for his mother's resentment towards Wu Shu's biological mother, he never took it seriously. Instead, he felt that her mother was a bit stingy.
.Then Yun Niang has been dead for more than ten years, so what can’t be let go of?
Wu Shu took the box and did not open it in person. He just smiled softly and said, "Thank you, brother, for thinking about me."
She knew very well in her heart that the Wu family's sudden friendly gesture was simply because they saw benefits in her. Once she lost her use value, they would abandon her like a piece of shit.
She whispered: "I serve Su Yueling every day now, and I once heard her accidentally mention that the Mo family spent 50,000 taels on her white sugar recipe."
Fifty thousand taels!
Wu Xiuping was speechless. No wonder the Yuan family didn't abandon the Wu family at all. Who would have thought that facing a small Yuan family that could suppress them, the Mo family would be willing to spend so much money. If they had known this earlier, how could they have saved less money?
Even after taking many detours, we wouldn’t have reached this stage.
He gave Wu Shu an encouraging look, and he didn't feel bad about the money he had given to Wu Shu one after another during this period. It seemed that Wu Shu was really doing things for the Wu family attentively.
"Su Yueling was going to sign a contract with that family in person the day before yesterday and buy the drawings of the spinning wheel with 30,000 taels. The family planned to go to the capital after taking the money. I was worried that they would have nothing to do with our family after the negotiation was completed, so
Secretly opening the window in the middle of the night made Su Yueling sick and temporarily slowed them down."
What Wu Shu said is all false, just to highlight his own merits.
As for the family she mentioned, Yuan Suijun specially found them to act in the drama.
Wu Xiuping looked frightened, "Well done! It's all your fault."
It's only thirty thousand taels... The Yuan family is really willing to spend so much.
Originally, Wu Xiuping thought that he could get it with ten thousand taels, but now he was afraid that he would have to spend more money. He only brought out twenty thousand taels this time. He had to write a letter to his family as soon as possible to ask them to send more money.
As for intimidating the other party, Wu Xiuping really doesn't dare to do so now. Many people are still staring at the Wu family and want to catch their little pigtails. If someone is really killed, they will take the initiative to hand it over to them.
He said in a deep voice: "If you try to delay it for a few more days, where does that family live?"
Wu Shu said: "In Anmen Village, just next to Lushan Village, the man's name is Ding Tieniu."
In fact, the real Ding Tieniu has already taken the money and temporarily moved to another county. The "Ding Tieniu" who now lives in Anmen Village is a servant of the Mo family.
Wu Xiuping nodded, "I understand. You should go back as soon as possible to avoid being suspected by Su Yueling. But you probably can't take these jewelry back. Do you want to put them in the shop first?"
Wu Shu said: "I bought a house in the county town, which can just accommodate these."
Seeing that she knew what she was thinking, Wu Xiuping didn't say anything. He had given everything away, and he wouldn't ask for it back.
After Wu Shu left, she just turned to the house where she bought them, walked around the yard, and took these things back to the Yuan family. She also showed Su Yueling how "generous" the Wu family was this time.
"This set of facial expressions is pretty good, and the water head is pretty good."
Wu Shu's nanny recognized it and said: "A house like this can buy a three-bedroom house in the capital. It can be seen that the Wu family attaches great importance to the spinning wheel this time."
Although she and Wu Shu's biological mother were masters and servants, they were sisters. The Wu family not only indirectly killed Yun Niang, but also threatened Shu'er with her. She had long hated the Wu family in her heart.
When Su Yueling heard what she said, she knew that Hu Zhen had probably been to the capital before, otherwise she wouldn't have just measured the price of a house in the capital.
Su Yueling said: "How much money do you think they will pay for it?"
Wu Shu said: "The Wu family is willing to spend a lot of money for enjoyment. But in this regard, they are very prudent. This time they should have brought less than 20,000 taels, so Wu Xiuping must go back and write a letter
Want money."
"The final amount should be more than 30,000 yuan."
Su Yueling blinked, more than 30,000 taels, which is not as much as the Mo family spent to buy her prescription. So how can it be done? As someone who was able to overwhelm the Mo family in the past, how could the Wu family lose to the Mo family.
