The doctor arrived quickly and helped Li Mu pull out the dagger, applied gold sore medicine, and bandaged Li Chongyi. In fact, Li Mu was not seriously injured. The water snake's waist was far away, and it was thrown out in a hurry, so it could not penetrate the flesh. One inch, but the injury was in an awkward position. If it had been a little further off, Li Mu would have joined the 'Anshin Explosion Brigade'.
"Change the dressing regularly every day, and you can recover in three to five days."
The doctor left a sufficient amount of gold sore medicine, and the woman paid the consultation fee and a reward, and left happily. And Li Mu also learned about the woman's condition from Cheng Yaojin's mouth. This woman was indeed The wife of Cheng Yaojin's brother-in-law was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and her maiden name was Wang Ou.
Cheng Yaojin's wife Cui is the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. And this woman's husband is the eldest son of the Cui family in Qinghe. The two families of King Cui and Prince Cui have an intermarriage agreement for a long time. Each generation must marry each other's daughter, so this This woman has been the daughter-in-law of the Cui family of Qinghe since she was born.
Cui's eldest son was ill-fated and had been sick since he was a child. The Cui family was worried that the Wang family would regret their marriage, so they kept the Cui's eldest son's illness a secret until he was seventeen years old. , they started to arrange their marriage. Wang Ou, who knew nothing about anything, married Cui's eldest son, but within three days of the wedding, Cui's eldest son died of illness. The Wang family accused the Cui family of concealing it, and the Cui family He also blamed the Wang family's daughter Ke Fu, and the two families almost started fighting over this.
Later, it was Wang who made the adjustment. Wang Nai was Wang Ou's uncle. At that time, Wang was still in the Prince's Mansion, but he was already an important figure in the court from a wealthy family. When he came to make adjustments, the Cui family had to give them face. The result is that since the daughter of the Wang family has been married, the married daughter has become the Cui family. The eldest son of the Cui family has been beaten, and he can remarry other sons of the Cui family, and the two families are still related by marriage. Naturally, the Cui family agrees. Especially the sons of the Cui family were even more excited. Wang Ou came from a famous family and had a good reputation for a long time. According to legend, she was the most beautiful woman in Taiyuan. She was also good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Who wouldn't want to marry such a wife.
Although it was a second marriage, the Cui family all knew that the eldest son was a sick child. He died after three days of marriage and could not do anything. Wang Ou was still a big girl. And in this era, there is no shame in remarrying or remarrying, and no one would Will care.
A result that was acceptable to both parties, but was opposed by Wang Ou herself. She said that marrying Cui's eldest son was her obligation as the Wang family's daughter. She fulfilled this obligation, but was shamelessly deceived. He also wanted to marry her to another son of the Cui family. She would never suffer such an insult again. She would rather die than agree. The Wang family already felt indebted to Wang Ou and could not bear to force her. The Cui family was angry. Frankly speaking, since Wang Ou doesn't agree to remarry, then he will be a widow in the Cui family!
Wang Ou is also a very individual woman. When she agreed, she asked the Cui family to give her the property of the eldest son and one house, and the Cui family also gave it. But only three shops and seventy acres of land were given. For the Cui family, It's just a drop in the bucket. Because if the eldest son is alive, he will inherit the family property. Even if he doesn't inherit, the property he will receive will be at least ten times that.
Wang Ou did not argue, but accepted the arrangement. What no one expected was that with three shops, seventy acres of land, and a few maids from her mother's family, she would be able to marry in just two years. Earned ten times the wealth.
In contrast, all the other sons of the Cui family were unworthy, and none of them was worthy of a big responsibility. Later, Cheng Yaojin's wife was driven home to visit relatives and make peace with her. The relationship between Wang Ou and the Cui family gradually gradually
Relaxed, the Cui family also asked her to help with their affairs. Until three years ago, more than 70% of the Cui family's business transactions had been through her hands.
This situation has aroused concern among the elders of the Cui family. Some people believe that Wang Ou is originally the daughter of the Wang family and has hatred for the Cui family because of her marriage. It is really unsafe for the Cui family's business to be in her hands.
Moreover, at this time, the Cui family's business had more than doubled in Wang Ou's hands, and some people couldn't hold back and wanted to pick the fruit.
Wang Ou said nothing and paid back all the Cui family's transactions. The accounts were clear and there was no greed for a penny of profit. Cheng Yaojin's wife also felt ashamed of Wang Ou because of this incident.
He no longer dared to take the initiative to meet her. The relationship between the two has since become estranged.
Because of this incident, Wang Ou also drew a clear line with the Cui family. He resold all the businesses in Qinghe and moved the main body to Luoyang. Now he mainly engages in silk, spices, tea and other businesses. He has operated in Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and other five countries.
They all have shops, and no one knows how big their business is. But no one dares to underestimate her. When Li Shimin just came to the throne, the Yellow River flooded, and the national treasury could not come up with enough money for disaster relief. Wang Ou donated
One hundred thousand guan, and another 100,000 guan were lent to the court to help Li Shimin tide over the difficulties. Therefore, Li Shimin gave her a special imperial edict, which also made her famous all over the world.
These deeds are known to the people, nobles, and wealthy families in Chang'an. They are not secrets. Only bumpkins like Li Mu from the border towns in the Western Regions don't know.
After hearing this, Li Mu sincerely admired Wang Ou. You must know that Wang Ou is not like him, who has a system and can get everything with a golden finger. She is a Tang Dynasty person. After her husband died, she was suppressed by her husband's family. How can she be successful?
Today, all she relies on is her own intelligence. The so-called strong women in future generations are no more than this.
"What are you talking about? Are you talking about the slave family?"
Wang Ou's voice came over. She had already sent away the doctor and the government officials, and then returned to the shop.
"When Li Mu asked, I just said a few words and didn't talk about anything."
Li Mu noticed that Cheng Yaojin seemed to be a little afraid of his sister-in-law. He was curious and funny at the same time. Could Cheng Mowang, who was not afraid of anything, be afraid of anyone?
Wang Ou smiled softly and said: "It's okay to talk about it, and the slave family has nothing to worry about others knowing. Master Hou must recover from his injury quickly. When the injury is healed in the future, the slave family will still need to ask for advice on poetry."
"I feel ashamed to ask for advice. When I write poetry, I do it spontaneously. It is inspired by inspiration, and my literary thoughts come to me. If the inspiration doesn't come, I can't write it."
Wang Ou's eyes widened and he said, "Then I wonder when Master Hou will have inspiration?"
"Uh..." Li Mu thought for a while and said, "When you are arguing with someone."
Wang Ou chuckled, Cheng Yaojin seemed to not want Li Mu to have too much interaction with Wang Ou, and said: "Well...it's getting late, and the meeting hall will be closed soon. I found a car for you.
Ox cart, you lie down on the cart and I will send a team of people to take you back home."
"good."
Wang Ou looked at Cheng Yaojin and said: "I have been in Chang'an for a few days. I have been busy with business matters and have not visited my sister. Please tell me, brother-in-law, I will prepare gifts and go to visit my house tomorrow.
."
"Ah! Okay, okay, your sister will definitely be happy to see you."
