My sister has a soft temper and is submissive. She dare not refuse even if she feels angry in her heart. Also, she has been in a long-term relationship. If the husband suddenly gets the idea, the sister will have no choice but to swallow her anger... It’s not like her mother-in-law wants to kill her husband.
He is guarded and is not allowed to take any more concubines. He is just a concubine. These things will be taken care of by a real wife, so what does it have to do with him?
It’s just that it would be too embarrassing if my sister and I serve the same husband together...
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang was a little troubled. It's not that she didn't believe in Lang Jun's character. Qiao'er, that flowery girl, spent the whole day making the bed and folding quilts in front of her and behind her, but she didn't see any covetous thoughts from her husband. It was obvious that Lang Jun
He is definitely not a ridiculous and chaotic person.
only……
Wu Meiniang secretly glanced at her sister. Her face was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows were like smoke locks, her figure was plump and her skin was fair and beautiful. She had the natural beauty common to the Wu sisters, but also had the delicate and elegant style of the newly widowed scholar.
I really feel pity for you. Who knows if Mr. Lang will prefer this one?
But can you drive your sister away?
During the past few days in Zhuangzi, I can see that my sister is very happy. The resentment that used to be locked between her brows has quietly disappeared, and her face has become more beautiful. How could I drive her back because of some unspeakable worries?
Where is the ice cave at Helan's house?
Wu Meiniang, who has always been proud of her wisdom and scheming, is very distressed...
There were footsteps at the door.
The respectful voice of the maid guarding the door came: "I have seen the Marquis."
A powerful voice said: "Well, is my wife here?"
The maid said: "Mrs. Wu is here, and the eldest lady is also..."
Wu Meiniang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she glanced at her sister subconsciously. Wu Shunniang happened to also look towards her, and the two sisters' eyes intertwined in mid-air, and they could both see the other's discomfort.
Madam Wu, Madam...it sounds like they both have the same status, they are both Fang Jun's wives?
It is true that Wu Shunniang has a weak temperament and a simple mind, but she is not an idiot. She can naturally hear something wrong with such ambiguous words. Two blushes appear on her pretty fair face, which makes her even more gorgeous.
The accelerated heartbeat caused by Fang Jun's voice was about to jump out of his throat at this time. He felt that his cheeks were as hot as fire. He quickly stood up and murmured: "I...you...he...that, I still
Let’s go out first…”
After saying that, without waiting for Wu Meiniang's reply, she hurriedly walked towards the door, but almost bumped into Fang Jun who was walking into the house.
Fang Jun quickly bowed and said: "Sister..."
He wanted to say hello, but the clinker Wu Shunniang suddenly stepped back as if she had been stung by a snake and scorpion, and said in panic: "My family... I have seen my brother-in-law..." After saying that, her butt was on fire,
He fled from Fang Jun in a panic, leaving only a wisp of fragrant wind...
Fang Jun was confused. He glanced at Wu Shunniang's slim and plump back, then looked back at Wu Meiniang in shock: "What's wrong with your sister? She looks like she's seeing a tiger when she sees me. She's afraid that I'll eat her."
Wu Meiniang sat in a dignified posture, with a pretty face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Who knows, maybe, you, a big tiger, are very hungry, and you can really swallow your sister, skin and flesh, without even leaving any bones.
"
"Well……"
Fang Jun was speechless, why didn't this sound right...
I glared at Wu Meiniang, knowing that she was teasing Wu Shunniang about getting into Wu Shunniang's bed that night, but can you blame me? But having said that, although the sisters are only one year apart, Wu Shunniang is already a married woman, and she has such a body
Plump and soft, but completely different from Wu Meiniang. Especially Wu Shunniang's appearance of being weak and miserable but not daring to speak out is really heartbreaking...
Somehow, this thought is a little dirty. It is probably a common problem among men. The less they can get, the more greedy they are. They eat it up and wipe it clean, but they don't care much about it.
Nasty thoughts were swirling in her mind, but her face showed no signs of it. She sat down on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She breathed a sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, she saw Wu Meiniang's beautiful and picturesque face.
Weird, I couldn't help but ask: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wu Meiniang stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed at the tea cup in Fang Jun's hand, "That's the one my sister used just now..."
Fang Jun was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in his hand, then looked up at Wu Meiniang. He placed the tea cup on the table angrily and said angrily: "Did you take the wrong medicine today? You are so weird."
Yes, I don’t know what it means!”
In fact, I feel a little guilty. No wonder this cup of tea tastes a bit sweet...
Wu Meiniang gave a look that said, "You have something in your heart." Then she withdrew her gaze and pushed a pile of gift sheets on the table in front of Fang Jun.
"The New Year is approaching, and each family should prepare for the New Year's ceremony early. This is the list compiled by the slave family. Sir, please check if there are any omissions. If there is nothing wrong, the slave family will order the servants to prepare according to this."
Wu Meimei is indeed a born empress, and her talent for politics is simply unparalleled. Not to mention the farm or the dock, she takes care of everything in an orderly manner. Both the servants and the clerks are all convinced, and even the courtesy exchanges are handled very well.
appropriate.
In this aspect, he is more than a hundred times better than Fang Jun. After all, Fang Jun is the soul of future generations. Even if he has experience, he has little understanding of the life, customs and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. What kind of gifts should be received and what should be returned in return?
This kind of etiquette is very particular. If you get it wrong, your good intentions can also offend people.
But such a guy who knew only a little about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty was actually the Minister of Rites of the Tang Empire...
Even Fang Jun himself found this unreliable, and he didn't know what His Majesty Li Er was thinking in his mind.
Fang Jun said nonchalantly: "The lady is in charge of the house, and the man is in charge of the house outside. I am responsible for making money, and the wife is responsible for spending money. As the saying goes, if everyone performs their duties, their family will prosper! And you also know that I am impatient with these tedious exchanges of courtesy.
Rules, you have to make up your mind...Mother! Wu Meiniang, are you going to waste your fortune? I just made a hundred thousand yuan, and you want to spend it all on me right now?"
He didn't care much about it before, but when Fang Jun glanced at the items on the top gift list, he suddenly felt heartbroken and bleeding!
What materials are there for Shu brocade and Su embroidery, what are the ornaments of jade hairpins and gold hairpins, what are the calligraphy and paintings of the Sui Dynasty before the two Jin Dynasties, what are the horses from the Western Regions...
Isn’t it necessary to give such an expensive betrothal gift to a wife?
Wu Meiniang's expression remained unchanged, and she said sweetly: "Master Lang, why don't you take a look at who this gift list is for?"
Hearing this, Fang Jun glanced at the beginning of the gift list, Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang...
What happened to Princess Gaoyang?
"That won't work! Is it easy to make money while I work my ass off? Even if that girl is a princess, she doesn't need such expensive gifts, right? Just give her some seasonal fruits and vegetables, but those things are expensive..."
Why did you give that girl such an expensive gift?
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes cutely, working hard to make money? I didn't see it. I only saw that you could cheat a hundred thousand yuan with just one mouth, but you also looked like a miser...
As for seasonal fruits and vegetables, the prices in Chang'an have indeed skyrocketed now, but don't put too many in the Fang family's greenhouse! More than half of the seasonal fruits and vegetables in Guanzhong come from the Fang family's greenhouse. In the eyes of others, the price is even higher than gold, but in your house
Jun is embarrassed to give it as a New Year gift?
I'm afraid that the whole Guanzhong will laugh out loud!
I don’t know why my husband is so unkind to Princess Gaoyang...
Wu Meiniang felt a little secretly happy in her heart, but she also knew her identity and could not win over Princess Gaoyang no matter what, so she said warmly: "Even if it is a precious New Year gift for Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, so what?
?Firstly, let your majesty see how much the husband attaches to your highness, and secondly, when the princess marries in the future, most of these will be included in the dowry. Our family will not lose anything. Could it be that your majesty will still deduct from it?
?”
Looking at Wu Meimei's charming phoenix eyes shining with wisdom, Fang Jun opened his mouth and found that he had nothing to say.
What a scheming watch...
He lowered his head and casually browsed through the gift lists, such as the family of Li Ji, Duke of Zheng, the family of Wei Zheng, Duke of Shen, the family of Gao Shilian, Duke of Shen, the family of Chi Jingde, Duke of E, the family of Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Bao, the family of Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu... these are related to Fang Jun.
Rich families prepare a generous gift. These are the families who need Fang Jun to move around as his nephew. As for other dignitaries in the court, they have Fang Xuanling to give them last year's gifts. Fang Jun is not qualified to establish a family.
However, now the financial power of the Fang family is equivalent to being in the hands of Fang Jun. Therefore, although he does not need to come forward, the gifts are still prepared and can be sent out in the name of his father Fang Xuanling.
As for the return gifts from each family, they would be sent to Fang Mansion in Chang'an City, but Fang Jun never thought of coming.
