Wu Meiniang was sitting at the main seat in a splendid dress. Her crow-crowd hair was neatly combed into a bun on top of her head. Her head was full of pearls. Her white and delicate neck was as elegant and slender as a swan. She was holding a teacup in her slender hands and her eyebrows were picturesque.
Dignified and bright.
At this moment, he was talking lightly...
"My mother felt unwell yesterday, so she invited the imperial doctor to a banquet. The imperial doctor told her to rest, and then prescribed a few decoctions. She just drank the medicine and fell asleep. The embroiderer will leave the palace in autumn, but she doesn't even have a decent dowry.
No, you men are careless and you can turn a blind eye, but as a sister, I can't just watch my sister get married like that, right? So in the past few days, I have pulled a lot of fabrics for her, and invited the master of the young palace supervisor to give her
She is sewing wedding clothes."
The Wu brothers were sitting at the bottom, all with dejected faces, looking at each other speechlessly...
I originally wanted to beg Ms. Yang to say a few nice words in front of Meiniang, but now not only can I not see anyone, but I have also been ridiculed by Wu Meiniang in a weird way.
The Wu brothers naturally knew that the charming and weak woman in front of them had a cold heart. Once she was cruel, she could do anything...
But now the two of them have been forced to the edge of the cliff. If they offend the King of Hejian County, how can they survive?
Wu Yuanshuang had no choice but to grit his teeth and said with a cheeky smile: "Look at what my sister said, brother, I don't want to take care of my mother, so I want to buy more dowry for the embroiderer, so that she can stand upright in her husband's family, and don't want to be
Are you looking down on me? But it’s hard to be a brother! Mei Niang must have some idea of what kind of situation the family is in now. It’s really hard to be a brother but not enough..."
"Didn't I lend you hundreds of thousands of guan, smoothen the relationship with His Highness King Wu, and win the project?"
Wu Meiniang coldly interrupted Wu Yuanshuang's words, took a sip of tea, gently placed the tea cup on the table in front of her, and raised a pair of clear and bright eyes, as if she had no idea about the collapse of the house built by the Wu brothers.
, said calmly: "I know a little bit about the profit of the project. There is still about 50% profit. But don't worry, you can just keep the money. You don't need to pay for the embroiderer's dowry. In the past two years, I
I have also saved some private property, and this time I will fill it all for the embroiderer. You brothers can't do it, but I, the sister, can't watch."
The Wu brothers were so choked that their faces turned red...
They didn't believe that Wu Meiniang didn't know what was going on at the construction site. Regardless of whether His Highness the King of Wu or the Prince of Hejian, whether pursuing responsibility or collecting debts, they must inform Wu Meiniang in advance. Now seeing Wu Meiniang's expression of complete ignorance, it was obvious
I don’t want to get involved...
But now they are desperate. If not Wu Meiniang, who else can they turn to?
Wu Yuanshuang was shocked back and had to wink at his brother frequently. Wu Yuanqing said reluctantly: "This... that... Speaking of which, the rain at the construction site was so heavy that the renovated house collapsed several times.
At this time, His Highness the King of Wu was very angry. This time, it is up to the younger sister to help the brothers and ask for a favor from His Highness the King of Wu..."
"hehe……"
Wu Meiniang sneered, her lips rose slightly with red lips, her eyes were filled with a playful look, she nodded slightly, and whispered slowly: "It doesn't matter...even though we are not siblings, we are still connected by blood.
, you have been able to treat us mother and daughter harshly without caring about family ties over the years, but how can I bear to watch you go to jail and be sent to a thousand miles away? Okay, I will go and beg Erlang later, even if I try to get scolded by him,
I must also beg him to ask for a favor from His Highness King Wu. You don’t need to worry about this matter. Just feel at ease. That’s why you came here today, right? That’s okay. I didn’t go to bed until dawn after reviewing the account books last night.
I have no energy at all, so I need to catch up on my sleep... Brothers, please walk slowly."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
The Wu brothers were dumbfounded...
This won't work!
Although the problem with His Highness King Wu has been solved, where is the Prince of Hejian County?
However, just now Wu Meiniang agreed without hesitation to go to King Wu to plead for mercy, and she said it so sincerely. If it were anyone else, who would have the nerve to ask her to reject the King of Hejian County as well?
Even with the thick skin and dark hearts of these two people, it is inevitable that they will be in great embarrassment...
The Wu brothers were speechless for a long time, and then they suddenly realized that they had agreed to one thing first, so they felt that asking for more was too much, and they couldn't open their mouths when they were embarrassed, right?
This damn girl is really sinister and sinister. She just wants to embarrass our brothers!
But regardless of whether it was embarrassing or not, when things came to a head, apart from Wu Meiniang, how could they do anything else?
Even if Wu Meiniang is teasing her like a cat chasing a mouse, she can only endure it...
Wu Yuanshuang smiled shyly and bowed: "Don't worry, sister. Brother Yu has a little thing to ask for help from my sister..."
Wu Meiniang stopped her steps, stood tall, turned around and stared at Wu Yuanshuang for a long time, until she saw Wu Yuanshuang was so heartbroken that she smiled and said: "Brother, do you think Meiniang is easy to talk to, so you left me?"
Are you going on one after the other? Or have you all had your hearts eaten by dogs, completely forgetting how harshly you treated us mother and daughter in the past, and you still think that we are brothers and sisters who are better than brothers and sisters?"
Wu Yuanqing immediately changed his expression and said angrily: "Are you talking to your brother again?"
Wu Yuanshuang was startled, and quickly grabbed his brother's arm, thinking to himself, what kind of stupidity are you doing? We are asking for help now, as long as we can solve the problem, don't say it with such cynicism, just mean it seriously.
What's wrong with a few curse words?
Holding down Wu Yuanqing who was not thinking clearly, Wu Yuanshuang turned around and smiled at Wu Meiniang: "Don't blame Meiniang, things have not been going well at home recently, and my brother has inevitably become a little more angry... This time, the brothers are really desperate and only look to my sister.
For the sake of being blood relatives, I can help my brothers one last time. My brother swears to heaven that this will definitely be the last time. I will never come to ask for my sister again."
After hearing this, Wu Meiniang's pretty face was tense and noncommittal, but she turned back to sit on the chair and said expressionlessly: "Tell me, what is it?"
Wu Yuanshuang hurriedly said: "Isn't there something going on at the construction site? The wages are obviously gone, so the interest from the Hejian County Prince's Mansion... I'm afraid it won't be paid for a while."
Wu Meiniang's pretty eyes widened and she looked at Wu Yuanshuang like an idiot...
After a long while, Wu Meiniang sneered and nodded: "Very good. As expected, I have a thick face and a dark heart... Then I would like to ask the two brothers, how do you want me to help you?"
"this……"
Wu Yuanshuang was choked.
They were just desperate and thought of asking Wu Meiniang for help. But now that Wu Meiniang was asking questions like this, they realized that they had not planned a solution in advance.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that it is really not easy to solve...
Let Wu Meiniang plead with the Prince of Hejian to give him more grace in repaying the money? Not to mention that the Prince of Hejian is known to regard wealth as life, and it is basically impossible to sell it to Wu Meiniang, even if it is given.
, when should the two brothers pay back the money?
There is no entry at all...
Let Wu Meiniang come up with money to help them pay off their debts?
That’s even more nonsense!
It would be considered generous if someone could help them borrow money and smoothen the relationship with the King of Wu regardless of their past grievances. How about letting a concubine use her husband's money to make up for her natal brother?
That’s hundreds of thousands of coins!
Even the Wu brothers couldn't open their mouths because they were so shameless. It wasn't just that they were shameless. Wu Meiniang said she couldn't instruct her slaves to kick them out of the house...
Wu Meiniang looked at the confused expressions on the Wu brothers' faces, feeling secretly happy in her heart, but her face was still as cold as ice, and she asked lightly: "What do you mean? How can I help you draw a charter?"
The Wu brothers looked at each other in silence, but after all, Wu Yuanshuang was more clever. He rolled his eyes and said with a shy face: "Brother Yu is really at his wits' end. How about... Mei Niang give me an idea?"
Wu Meiniang sneered and said: "Isn't that easy? Let the Hejian County Prince's Palace take away the house directly. You can just pack up and go back to your hometown in Bingzhou."
The Wu brothers' faces turned dark...
Return to Bingzhou?
If we can go back, why do you think we are unwilling to go back? The ancestral house and property in our hometown have long been sold piecemeal to the tribe by the two brothers... If it is gone now
The family in Chang'an should go back to Bingzhou and see if those tribesmen will give them half a steamed bun!
Wu Yuanshuang smiled bitterly and said: "This... I'm afraid it won't work."
Wu Meiniang said: "Then I have no choice, you can just figure it out."
Wu Yuanshuang regretted letting Yang and Xiu Niang come to Fang's house to persuade Mei Niang. If Yang and Xiu Niang were at Wu's house at this moment, Mei Niang wouldn't have watched her mother and sister being driven into the street, right?
Wu Yuanshuang had no choice but to say: "Please sister, please think of a way. Brother Yu really has no idea."
Wu Meiniang smiled faintly and felt that the time was almost here, so she said casually: "There is a way, but I don't know if the two brothers think it is appropriate..."
