Chapter 140 Upper 2

It has been some time since Changsun Yun went to the south of the Yangtze River. Every time he brought back the news was that the government's allocation was not enough, and there were too many local people affected by the disaster. Because of the lack of food, it often caused turmoil.

Changsun Han was annoyed. When he went to court, he asked. Unexpectedly, none of the ministers below could come up with an idea. Changsun Han was so angry that he withdrew early.

Ruiqixiang, the largest restaurant in the capital.

In the elegant room on the second floor, Xiao Er served a plate of delicious food on the front and back. A man in a blue shirt and a round hat hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Lou, this emerald shrimp is Ruiqixiang's signature dish. Do you like it?"

The man, who was called Lord Lou, was dressed in black mink and elegant. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Boss Wei is spending money again."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand with a smile and motioned to eat together.

In the cup and change the cup, most of the dishes have been used on a table. The person called Boss Wei is the largest salt merchant in the north, Wei Ming. He clapped his hands gently, and a servant-like man came behind him and put a small box on the table.

The man who was called Lord Lou was stunned, "Boss Wei is..."

Wei Ming opened the lid of the box with a smile, and saw that it was full of a box of gold ingots. When it was opened, it almost shook the man's eyes.

Wei Ming laughed and said, "Wei's business is also thanks to Lou Bosi's help. Near the end of the year, this small gift is not respectful, and I hope Lord Xisi will accept it with a smile."

There are three ships in the north, all of whom are officials from the second grade, who manage the manufacture and sale of salt, tea, and silk respectively. This Lou Xianda is the ship that manages the sale of salt. Wei Ming was recommended by him.

Seeing Wei Ming say this, Lou Xianda's horseman refused, but Wei Ming was very enthusiastic. It was difficult for Lou Xianda to refuse more and let the little man behind him put it away.

The two of them had another conversation. Lou Xianda sighed inadvertently. Wei Ming saw it and hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, my lord?"

Lou Xianda nodded, said what happened in the court, and then said, "Now that the treasury is not full, the emperor must be upset. According to Lou, if anyone can solve this matter, the emperor will be rewarded."

After saying that, he looked at Wei Ming again. Wei Ming had an idea in his heart.

Back to the house, Wei Ming hurriedly ordered someone to post to the Prime Minister's house and told his wife about the matter. As soon as the two discussed it, they also decided the method.

In the Swift Pavilion, Wei was bowing his head and embroidering the quilt. He saw Zhang's mother push the door and came in with a happy face, "Auntie, it's the eldest lady from Wei's house."

Wei was stunned. Is his mother coming?

After thinking about it, Wei hurriedly took away the things in his hand and said, "Please come in quickly."

In a short time, I heard footsteps from outside, and then the door curtain was picked up, and Wei's mother, Liu, came in.

Wei's face was a little happy and said cautiously, "Mother, why are you here?"

Liu Shi saw her daughter. Although she was dressed in simple clothes, at least her face was ruddy. At that moment, she was also relieved a lot. She walked over and held Wei's hand and said, "Sing'er, are you... okay?"

Wei's full name is Wei Yuanying, and the Liu family's Ying's voice, the Wei family can't help bursting with tears. Since he decided to marry the prime minister's house as his aunt as his direct daughter, his father is very angry and has never let the people of Wei's family come to see him, but today, how can his mother come again?

Holding Liu's hand and sitting down, Wei sent Zhang's mother to pour tea and asked in a blink of an eye, "Mother, is there something wrong with the house? Why did you come here at this time?"

Liu shook his head, "It's not that something happened in the house. It's your father who asked me to come to you."

"Dad?" Wei exclaimed and then smiled bitterly, "But do you want me to speak in front of the Prime Minister again?"

Seeing that Wei's eyes were lonely, Liu couldn't bear it. He held Wei's hand and said, "Yinger, don't do this. Although your father is angry with you, he still cares about you in his heart. After all, it's his own flesh and blood."

Wei Ming is the largest salt merchant in the north. Although his family property is not as rich, he is also rich. However, Wei Ming is an affectionate person. He doesn't even have a concubine with him. He has been guarding his original wife. The Liu family is quite competitive and gave birth to three sons and a daughter to the Wei family in a row. Unfortunately, Wei Ming His mother has always been dissatisfied with the Liu family. She took the lead from her relatives and gave Wei Ming two aunts.

The two aunts are also very competitive and gave birth to two sons for Wei Ming in a row. Therefore, in the Wei family, although Liu is the main room, the two aunts are also very arrogant, so that the Liu family can't slack off too much.

Liu Shi sighed and said, "You also know, now in the house, your grandmother doesn't like me, and the two aunts rely on being relatives of your grandmother, and their attitude is particularly arrogant. Your three brothers are all mediocre people. If they continue like this, I'm afraid that their mother is not far from being abandoned."

Wei was worried, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only say, "Why should my mother worry? You are a young couple with your father. How can you easily abandon you?"

Liu Shi shook his head and said, "Although this is the case, my mother also hopes that you can be better and help her fight for her. Your father came back today and said something. Let me tell you quickly."

With that, Liu whispered a few words in Wei's ear. Wei's eyes stared at the boss in an instant and muttered, "Really? Is Dad really willing to help me?

Liu Shi sighed and said with a smile, "How can you think so? Although your father is angry with you, he still cares about you in the bottom of his heart. You don't know that since you got married, your father often goes to your former boudoir in the middle of the night. Every time there is any news in the Prime Minister's mansion, he hurriedly sends someone to inquire about it. Ying Son, your father is a knife-to-mouthed and heart-to-heart. You are also a mother. You should learn to understand him.

Wei's face was stunned, a little moved, and his eyes turned red and said, "Yes, I have to ask my mother to help me convey it. Just say that I will go back to my house to see my father."

Liu smiled, patted Wei's hand and said, "That's right!"

The two had another conversation. Seeing that it was getting late, Wei took Liu's hand and said, "Mother might as well stay in the house for dinner tonight. The daughter sent someone to tell her father."

Liu shook his head, "No, if I don't go back to my house, your grandmother doesn't know if she should take the opportunity to put me on any charges,"

With that, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Wei, "This is a ticket of 500,000 taels of gold. Please keep it."

Wei reached out and took it. Just as he was about to say something to thank him, he saw Liu shake his hand and said, "Ok, it's all mother and daughter. There's no need to say such polite words. It's getting late. It's time for me to go back."

Wei got up and sent Liu out of the house with Zhang's mother. Liu was about to get into the carriage. He turned his head and told Wei, "You have to be careful."

Wei nodded with tears and looked at Liu's carriage gradually moving away. Then he turned around and went back to the Yuyan Pavilion with Zhang's mother.

Sitting on the small couch, Wei looked carefully at the ticket in his hand, and a seemingly smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Mother Zhang came in with the teacup. Wei casually left the ticket aside and took a sip of the teacup.

"Auntie, did the first lady say that she wanted you to speak in front of the master for help?"

Is Zhang's mother a dowry of the Wei family? She has won the trust of the Wei family for so many years. She also knows that the relationship between the Wei family and the Wei family is not very harmonious. Now she sees the indifferent face of the Wei family and asks.

When Wei Shi heard this, she smiled and said, "Well, this time the sun came out in the west."

With that, Wei told Zhang's mother what happened today. Zhang's mother heard it and looked happy, "This is a good thing. Why is your aunt unhappy?"

Wei sneered, "Have you forgotten that this snake is a cold-blooded animal? If it suddenly turns around, it is definitely another plan. What's more, even if the snake has changed its character, it is still a snake. If we let it stay by our side, we must be ready to be bitten by it at any time."

Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment and remembered how the master and wife treated the Wei family in the past. She calmed down. Indeed, this time's goodwill was so abrupt, and there must be some kind of moth in it.

Thinking of this, Zhang's mother hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what are you going to do?"

Wei Shi snorted coldly, "Well, since my parents think I'm useful now, why don't I pretend to be confused once? This time, whether it's good or not, it doesn't hurt me."

After saying that, Wei installed the ticket and said to Zhang's mother, "Have you been to see the child of Ran'er recently?"

Zhang's mother sighed, "Since the emperor gave the marriage, Miss Wu seems to have changed into a person. She stays in the room all day and doesn't go out. Most of the food left every time she serves is served. The old slave has seen it several times, and Miss Wu has lost a lot of weight."

Wei Shi narrowed her eyes and said, "This daughter really disappoints me for a man!"

Mother Zhang sighed and said, "Auntie, that's right, Miss Wu is not young this year. This year, it's only fourteen. Miss San is only a few months old than Miss Wu. She got the marriage contract so early. No wonder Miss Wu is unhappy."

Wei Shi thought for a moment and said, "If it goes well this time, I will follow the child's wishes. It's hard for her that she is always so pitiful..."

Mother Zhang nodded, and Wei Shi said again, "Why, tomorrow morning, you will take all my jewelry dowry. Remember, you must make some noise, but it should not be too big, as long as the master knows."

Mother Zhang followed Wei for so many years, and now she understood what Wei meant. She nodded and answered. Wei thought for a moment and said, "Go to the kitchen and serve the food. I'll go and have a look."

Zhang's mother nodded and quickly prepared the meal. Wei was served by the little girl and changed her clothes, so she got up and walked to Xia Mengran's Qingyou Garden.
