Rebirth of the face-slapping system

Eighteen:

On the second day, the mansion became really busy.

Even if Xu Xiuzheng married a concubine, the Xu family would still be very big, and it could even be said that it somewhat overshadowed Fang Wen's ostentation back then - these were all arranged by Fang Wen.Xu Ruolan was a little unhappy about this, touched Fang Wen's hand and said: "I know you don't want others to say that our General's Mansion is stingy, but if you do this, after that girl comes in, can't she look down on you?"

Fang Wen didn't think of this.

To be honest, everything he does now is according to the system. As for why he overshadows him... it is only because he is a man and wife. When he entered the door back then, there was no pomp in Beijing. At the beginning, she came to marry Li Meier with low requirements, and I am afraid that there will be more people who say right and wrong about the General's Mansion.

Fang Wen smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, if she doesn't take me seriously, I'll teach her, if she can't teach her, don't you have to help me decide?"

Xu Ruolan laughed: "What I said is, I will definitely help you decide what to do if you are wronged. You can treat me as your closest person, and you can tell me anything."

At the end of April, Li Meier, the prostitute daughter of the Li family, married into the Xu family gracefully.

Although there was a lot of ostentation this time, there were not many people who came to congratulate him. After all, when he married Fang Wen, Xu Xiuzheng didn't invite many friends, and this time is naturally the same.

After seeing off a wave of congratulators in the main hall, Fang Wen rubbed his aching forehead, returned to his wing, and stood in a daze in the rather deserted courtyard.

Wu Si came in through the arch, holding a letter in his hand, and said calmly: "Master, my friend has agreed to help us bring the goods. In order to ensure the quality of the goods, I request to go with him."

"Yes." As he said that, Fang Wen frowned, "Be careful in everything."

Wu Si nodded: "The next voyage will be tomorrow. This subordinate should prepare now. I will go to sea with my friends in the afternoon. However, during this period of time, the shop probably won't be able to open."

For this, the square pattern doesn't matter.Now the whole shop is his own, and it doesn't matter whether it opens early or late. Anyway, when the goods arrive, according to the memory of the previous life, judging from the popularity, the shop's money will be made back in a few days.It's just that when he asked the manager to help him find a shop, he never thought that his action would be so fast.

It seems that my meek temperament is really not very suitable for doing business.

The sky gradually darkened, and the bustling Xu Mansion became quiet.

Fang Wen lay alone on the bed for a while, inexplicably wanting to hurt Chun Beiqiu, so she got up and put on a dress, sat in the yard and did not go back to her room.There is no moon in the sky, just a few stars hanging bustlingly.

It was dark all around, and there was no sound at all, Fang Wen could vaguely hear his own breathing.

Not far away, the sound of footsteps came suddenly, and Fang Wen's heart rose to his throat.

But it was two servant girls.

One of them said: "It's unlucky for Ma'am. Have you just noticed the expression on the general's face when she looks at that woman? She's so affectionate. If I didn't know the situation, I would have thought the general liked her a long time ago. Besides, I secretly looked at that woman." The daughter of the Li family's concubine, who can be regarded as a beauty, is said to have a secret love for General Xu, that's why she hasn't married for so long."

Another asked: "Didn't you say that you are weak?"

"Hey, are you stupid? Few outsiders have seen that prostitute, and her own family can just say whatever. I just saw that prostitute walking, she doesn't look like a sick child."

"Ah, that lady..."

"Oh, let's go, I want to go to bed earlier."

Fang Wen looked up at the sky, thinking that he was really unlucky.When I came out to blow some air, I could hear the two maids gossiping. The key thing they were talking about was still about me.

Because there is no need to go to greet her mother-in-law in the morning, so it doesn't matter how late Fang Wen sleeps.

Originally, Fang Wen really didn't want to sleep, but what the two maids said made Fang Wen feel a little unhappy, so he sat for a while, and then went to lie down.

...what was expected did not happen.

Early the next morning, with dark circles under his eyes, Fang Wen silently glanced at the empty bed next to him. He took a deep breath, got up and washed, and went to look for Wu Si.

The two of them planned to check the shops around Jingli when they got up early in the morning, so that after going to sea, it would be easier to choose products, so as not to be heavy with the things sold in other shops.

There are not many people buying overseas products in Beijing, at least Fang Wen and Wu Si only saw one shop along the way.Over the past few years, the taxation of going overseas has been very heavy, and most merchants have increased the prices of their products. This high price has reduced the number of people buying, so that in the end, the profits obtained are completely unable to support the survival of the merchants. .

And after a few days, the new emperor will issue a decree to reduce taxes, and Fang Wen will be able to take the lead and sell a batch of goods first.

In the afternoon, Fang Wen went to see Wu Si off.

After Wu Si left, he would not be able to come back for several months, and there were many difficulties along the way.He didn't know anyone in Beijing, so Fang Wen naturally had to take care of him.

Fang Wen said some blessings and patted Wu Si on the shoulder.

Wu Sichong smiled at Fang Wen, and the back view after turning around gave people a feeling of no worries.

It was not until Wu Si's back could no longer be seen that Fang Wen returned to the city.

He thought that in the past few months, there had been no purchases, the shopkeeper was not around, and the tent servants hadn't been found yet. The shop couldn't stay closed and empty like this, otherwise it would be a bit of a disadvantage, so he first rented out the shop to a The couple sells some gadgets, the price is not high, and the contract is three months.

After he returned to the house, he was a little tired.

Fang Wen, who wanted to go to the garden to relax, accidentally saw Qiaolu in a remote yard.

Qiaolu was chatting with a maid.

The maid said: "Although I have only seen Madam a few times from a distance, I feel that Madam is pretty good."

Qiaolu pursed her mouth and didn't speak for a while, the servant girl paused for a moment before she suddenly said: "...I forgot that you are the servant girl that my wife brought as a dowry, I'm sorry..."

Qiaolu shook her head: "It's okay."

The servant girl washed the clothes in the wash, and her hands were a little red: "Ma'am, this is really not good...why doesn't he let you and Qiao Zi serve by his side?"

Qiaolu was silent for a while, and inadvertently touched her face: "Probably...forget it, this is all the master's business, and we shouldn't talk too much at the moment. You have been a servant girl in the Xu Mansion for so long, Why don't you even know about this?" As he spoke, his tone became a little tough, "If you are punished for talking nonsense again in the future, I won't help you."

The servant girl shut her mouth immediately, but quickly whispered: "Sister, did you just mean that Madam is jealous of your beauty? You are indeed very good-looking... The man who was with you a few days ago, It's also because you admire Sister Qiaolu's good looks that you are not afraid of the prestige of the Xu family, and risked your life to come in through the wall from the outside of the courtyard, right?"

Qiaolu stared: "This matter, you... don't talk nonsense in the future! If I hear about my meeting with other men from others, I will be the first to tear you apart!"

Square pattern: "..."

Fang Wen suddenly felt that he was really good at listening to corners. No matter where he went, he could hear other people's discussions. The point is that he has not been discovered...

Sighing, Fang Wen walked slowly towards the small garden as if he hadn't heard Qiao Lu's words.

But he didn't know if it was an unlucky day, or what, after arriving at the small garden, he unexpectedly saw Li Meier, the concubine who had just entered the door.That Li Meier and Xu Xiuzheng were sitting in a gazebo, the two of them were very close and seemed to be talking.

Li Meier looked soft and weak. She picked up a piece of pastry with green hands and fed it to Xu Xiuzheng. After Xu Xiuzheng ate it, she made a shy and timid look: "Husband..."

Square pattern: "..."

Fang Wen felt that his heart was congested and he couldn't breathe.

Xu Xiuzheng on the side didn't speak all the time, because his back was facing Fang Wen, so Fang Wen didn't know his expression, but just when Li Meier was about to speak again, Xu Xiuzheng stood up suddenly.

He turned his head and met Fang Wen's gaze.

Fang Wen's expression was a bit awkward, but at this time, he didn't want to run away like a woman, so he saluted Xu Xiuzheng as if he didn't see what happened just now.

Xu Xiuzheng frowned: "Why are you here?"

Fang Wen said: "Come to relax, I didn't expect to meet the general and..."

Xu Xiuzheng nodded and interrupted: "Do you like the shop?"

"..." Fang Wen: "I like it, thank you General."

Xu Xiuzheng was silent for a while, then patted Fang Wen's head: "I didn't touch her."

Square pattern: "..."

Fang Wen really wanted to say that it doesn't matter to him whether you move or not, but after thinking about it, he felt that the tone of the words was a little stiff, and it was easy to be misunderstood and annoying, so he swallowed the words abruptly , and finally just smiled.

Xu Xiuzheng seemed to have something to do, said a few more words to Fang Wen, and left.

When Xu Xiuzheng could no longer see anyone, Li Meier came slowly from behind and bowed to Fang Wen: "Ma'am."

Fang Wen nodded, indicating that she could get up.

Li Meier said softly: "Madam, the general was a little anxious last night, that's why I didn't get up to greet you in the morning. I hope Madam will not be offended. From now on, we will all be generals who dress up, and we will be good sisters. From now on, the servants will have more Do you rely on Madam a lot, Madam must not be such a stingy person?"

Fangwen raised an eyebrow.

Li Meier's words made Fang Wen's heart angry.

Her first sentence meant to respond to Fang Wen, and the last sentence also wanted to respond to Fang Wen, and she also called Fang Wen a sister. Did this undisguised scolding Fang tattoo be a man, but marry a man?She is also a smart person, and finally said that Fang Wen is not such a stingy person, so if Fang Wen retaliated against her because of this, the word "stingy" would be implemented.

Fang Wen is not someone who cares about fame so much, and immediately thought of several ways to deal with Li Meier in his mind.
