Chapter 156 The water rises and the ship rises

Liu Shi was sitting in ** doing needle and threading. When he heard Xue Rengui talking to people outside, he couldn't help but be a little curious. Seeing Wu Mei Niang coming in again, she hurriedly got off the kang in surprise and said, "Is the girl looking for me?"

"Exact" Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. It's cold, just sit on the kang!"

"It's good." Liu looked at Wu Mei Niang carefully and couldn't help exclaiming, "The girl is really a heavenly appearance, just like a fairy going down to earth!" Today, the fairy wind must be blowing, so that our broken cave will also fly into a golden phoenix! - The girl must be rich or noble. If you don't dislike the dirty kang, please sit down and talk together? I'll make tea for you."

"My sister-in-law is not busy." Wu Mei Niang smiled, stretched out her hand to pull Liu Shi, who was about to leave, and said affectionately, "It's uneasy to bother you. How dare you bother your sister-in-law's hospitality?" Next, I'm just here to chat with my sister-in-law. You don't have to stir up the crowd. Just invite your sister-in-law to sit down too!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Shi is obviously a little flattered. Although it is in my own home, the beautiful little beauty in front of me is obviously not small. In such a remote place, Liu, who is simple and lacks knowledge, can't help but panic when he sees Wu Mei Niang's extraordinary person.

"Sister-in-law is really good at sewing!" Wu Mei Niang casually picked up a pair of handkerchiefs embroidered by Liu Shi and praised with a smile, "I was born stupid, and I can't do fine work like a man. I envy you for your good hand."

"What, the girl is really making fun of me." Liu Shi smiled a little embarrassed and said, "At first glance, a girl is a noble and extraordinary person. How can she do such a lowly job? Oh, I'm really rude. The girl has been in the door for a long time, and she hasn't asked for the girl's name!"

"I'm in Chang'an Wuzhao. If my sister-in-law doesn't mind calling me sister, it's fine. Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I have heard that the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. It's true! It's cold and windy outside, but it's so warm inside. The sister-in-law also served Xianhui and cleaned up the house so clean and decently. If it were me, the house will be as dirty as a sheep pen.

"Giggle, the girl is really funny!" Liu Shi was amused and laughed happily. Wu Mei Niang's inadvertent praises immediately made Liu feel much more relaxed and narrowed the distance between them. Now Liu feels that the little beauty in front of her is really a pair of words, and she is still a woman. If a man is coaxed by her a few words like this, why would he have to give her all his heart?

"Hey hey! Sister-in-law Liu, the little sister is rude. How is the elder sister-in-law's youth? Wu Meiniang asked with a smile.

"I'm in my early twenties. We poor people in the countryside look old when we work all day long. When we go out, people think I'm 30 or 40 years old. How can we be as young and beautiful as a martial arts girl? Liu Shi also praised Wu Mei Niang.

"No, it's obviously not." Wu Mei Niang said seriously, "If I hadn't known that you were married, I would have thought you were about the same age as me!" Calling you sister-in-law is a little old. Why don't I just call you sister?

"How...how dare you do this?" Liu smiled awkwardly.

"What does it matter? The eldest sister is older than me, wow!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Actually, the eldest sister is really beautiful, but she just neglects to dress up. If you can dress up, you will definitely become a rare beauty.

"This...this is really a fun of me!" Liu was happy, worried and a little embarrassed and said, "I'm poor at home. It's good to open my nest and not hungry. How can I have spare money to dress up?"

"Oh, that's not right!" Wu Mei Niang pretended to be surprised and said, "My sister-in-law is so skillful in needlework, and her husband is extraordinary and has unique skills. How can she be so poor?"

"Oh, that's a long story..." Liu sighed and said, "In fact, there was also a famous general named Xue Andu on my ancestors, and Xue was also a member of the Hedong Wang clan. Unfortunately, it has been declining since the generation of my husband and grandfather. It's my turn to wait, and I can only survive. Although my husband is a cold coat, he is quite angry. He has a family-honed martial arts skill. Many people want to hire him as a nursing entourage, but he doesn't go. He often says that he will make great achievements in the future, but he doesn't see what's going on. As a woman, I don't say much about him, so I have to marry a chicken and a dog.

"So that's it... It seems that your husband's ambition is lofty. This is a good thing. It is not known that the man's ambition is everywhere, and once he gets the power of the fish and dragon, he will rise to the sky. Wu Meiniang said, "That's what my sister-in-law said. We and other women can't care about too many things about men. But can we do something to help them?"

"What do you do?" Liu was aroused by curiosity and asked.

"My sister-in-law may not know something." Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "My father was a scholar. He was once a meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty and one of the eight prime ministers during the Wude period. Now my eldest brother has inherited the title of the Duke left by him. But now, my martial arts family is also in decline. The officials have despised me and no one in the court, and it is about to decline. Although I am a girl, I have been in business since last year. Although I was despised by officials, I did some practical things and made a lot of money. In this way, life is prosperous, and you don't have to rely on others. Those who look down on businessmen should let them look down on them. What's wrong with me not stealing and relying on my own efforts to make money to support myself?

"Ah!! So the girl is still after the famous family? What a disrespect!" Liu suddenly panicked and blinked a few more eyes, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said in shock, "That's right! I went to the county to rush to the morning market today. I heard that there was a Wu's female owner from Chang'an who was a disaster relief for the people and rewarding the soldiers. She was praised by everyone in the Jishan generation, but it's you?

"It's my little sister." Wu Meiniang smiled, "Sister Liu, you see, I've made a lot of money. I can't spend enough money to help many people. Isn't it a good thing to be anxious to help others? What's wrong with businessmen? In fact, businessmen are the most diligent and hard-working. Otherwise, he must be a losing businessman who can't make money.

"Miss Wu, you are really amazing!" Liu's eyes widened and looked at Wu Mei Niang with a worshipful look.

"Hee hee, in fact, my sister-in-law can do it!" Wu Meiniang said, "Because I am a daughter who has not left the cabinet, most of the merchants around me are women, and most of them are poor daughters in their twenties. I share joys and sorrows with them like sisters. After a year of hard work, I have achieved a little achievement. From the beginning, we didn't know anything. We slowly explored and studied hard. Now they can be alone!"

"Really? Miss Wu, you are so capable! And your sisters are all great people! How can a blind woman like us who have no knowledge in a remote place be compared with you? Liu Shi was envious and ashamed.

"Not necessarily!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "In fact, as long as you are willing to work hard, nothing can be done. If my sister-in-law has this idea, I would like to take my sister-in-law to run a business together. If you don't understand, just follow the women around me first. Stay familiar with each other. Everything will be fine. In fact, it's easy to make money, really! As long as you are willing to work hard, today is still a broken kiln hole and earth brick kang, and tomorrow you can lie on the golden mattress of Chang'an's mansion, listening to the song and eat snacks!"

"No, it won't be so easy, will it?" Liu Shi opened her mouth in shock. Obviously, she couldn't believe it, but she was ready to move.

The world is so rich and noble. Who really likes the poor life? ... For a poor man, money and a rich life are so attractive!

"Ge, sister-in-law, don't be nervous. I'll just say it casually." Wu Mei Niang smiled relaxedly and said, "You are no better than us single women. If I leave you... the eldest brother is not used to it!"

Liu was stunned when she heard this. She just heard her say that she could take her to do business and make money together. Who doesn't want to live a good life? But now the words have changed... It seems that she is already a family and it is not convenient to take her away.

Half of the pie fell from the sky. Why did it stop?

Liu is a little anxious.

"Miss Wu, in fact, there is nothing inconvenient on my husband's side." Liu said, "Although he is a little stubborn, he has always been very tolerant and trusting me. If I leave home and do something to make money, he will agree a lot. Of course, he can only rest assured that he goes out with such a well-known and trustworthy person as a girl.

"Is that right?" Wu Mei Niang blinked a few times, "Can you really convince your husband and then go to Chang'an to do business with me?" Has your sister-in-law ever heard of Qin Xianjiu? I opened a big restaurant called "the first wine in the world" in Chang'an, which specializes in this kind of royal wine. The business is very good. It's simply a daily fight. Nowadays, people can be admitted at any time. As a wise and courteous person like my sister-in-law, I can hand over the account room to you. As for the rest, I won't treat you badly!"

"Really?" Liu was overjoyed, but he was a little hesitant, "It's just... you and I meet each other. Why do you suddenly treat me so well?"

"Ge, sister-in-law, are you suspicious?" Wu Mei Niang smiled and whispered shyly, "It's true that General Qin Mubai, who came to your house last time, was my husband who had never passed the door, hey hey! When he saw your husband, he saw that his hero was trapped in the mud and depressed, and he always hoped to help you with something. But Brother Xue is stubborn and refuses to be an official, and he can't force others. Therefore, I'll see if I can do my sister-in-law a favor, or at least solve your life difficulties first! If I can help you one or two, I will be happy to make Mu Bai feel a little relieved!"

"So that's it! Miss Wu, you virtuous and virtuous people are really great benefactors of our family! I'm going to kowtow to you!" Liu was so grateful that he was about to climb down the kang.

"Don't do this, sister-in-law!" Wu Meiniang hurriedly grabbed her and said, "I'm a businessman and won't give help and charity to anyone. Who am I hiring? Why don't I hire my sister-in-law to work in my store? It's natural for my sister-in-law to go to work and get money. She can't take advantage of me. Chang'an is a good place with an inch of land and an inch of gold. As long as you go there, as long as you work hard, you can't live to support your family. It's not known that he will be soaring one day. Your husband, Brother Xue, doesn't want to be an official. My husband is also a sincere person and doesn't want to be embarrassed. It's just that he couldn't bear to see that the life of the two of you was so embarrassed. I wanted to give some gold and silver directly, but I was afraid that Brother Xue would disdain these yellow and white things... Therefore, I thought of inviting my sister-in-law to Chang'an to find a job. Who said that we women can only have children and do needle sewing? Among other things, it may not be difficult to support the family!"

"Okay, okay. Miss Wu is really a natural genius. I, a stupid woman, would like to go to Chang'an with you! I know that Yulu won't do anything, but you can give me some dishes to wash. I'll wash them for you!" Liu Shi said excitedly.

"No, when it comes to managing the accounting room, it is to manage the accounting room. I won't let you do those rough work. If you don't, I'll send someone to teach you until you can. Wu Meiniang smiled, but said seriously, "But don't you want to discuss with Brother Xue before making a decision?"

"Huh! I won't discuss his elm head with him today! He left the cold mountain to shoot his geese, and I went to Chang'an to take care of my account. He doesn't think about me, and I have to think about our children in the future! If the child is born and doesn't even have a mouthful of rice porridge, I'll see how he will talk to his ancestors! Don't worry, Miss Wu, I will be able to convince him!" Liu's vows.

"That's the best." Wu Meiniang said happily, "It turns out that my sister-in-law is still pregnant. Congratulations! While it's convenient for you, go to Chang'an with me earlier! The work of managing the accounting room is not tiring. It's easy to eat and live in Chang'an! You're right. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the un born child. In our life as a woman, isn't the child the most important except for the husband? Hee hee!"

"Wu Mei Niang is really right. This is heartwarming!" Liu Shi smiled happily, grabbed Wu Mei Niang's hand and patted it gently in the palm of her hand, "You are really a fairy living Bodhisattva in the world! She is beautiful, capable, and has such a good heart. Only an extraordinary man like General Qin is blessed to marry you!"

"Hey, I haven't passed the door yet! ..." Wu Meiniang smiled with a low face, and her heart was in full bloom: Great, I convinced Liu!

If Liu Shi leaves, can Xue Rengui stay alone in Longmen? If Liu went to Chang'an with me, it would be easy to invite Xue Rengui to go to Chang'an. After all, it's good for husband and wife to have a reunion. She is pregnant and needs to take care of her.

Besides, a big man has to rely on a woman to support his family. How can he live with his face? Humph, this is called rising tide. If you Xue Rengui want to be raised by women, you don't deserve Mu Bai to look up to you so highly. At that time, I don't believe that you can stay at home!

"Haha, it's time to be done!" Wu Mei Niang sneered in surprise and said, "When the time comes, Xue Rengui and his wife will be brought to Chang'an together. The Liu family works in our store, and Xue Rengui works as a hundred riders under the command of Mu Bai. This family has received our favor... If one day Xue Rengui is soaring, can he not miss our old feelings? Among other things, this honest and honest Liu family can't wait to worship me as a Bodhisattva. How can he blow your Xue Rengui's ears on the pillow and make you give up to Mu Bai? Hee hee! Haha!"
