Chapter 185: Water Far Away, Fire Nearby
Su Wenyue was holding two sets of small clothes in her hands at this time. Seeing Grandma Chen come in, she joked: "Grandma has been out for so long, but she has made a lot of money. Do you want to share it with us?"
"Madam, please stop beating this old slave. This is the reward from Madam Yao." Grandma Chen knew that the master was joking with her, so she took out the purse that Yao Qin gave her, and opened it to find half a tael of silver.
This move is not very generous. After all, she is an official's wife. She is here to find out information for Nanny Chen, who serves the master closely. I won't say too much. I always ask for two or three taels of silver. This is only half a tael. , not even one or two.
However, although Yao Qin was a bit stingy, Su Wenyue could understand it. Not everyone had a natal family with a strong background like hers to help her. The people in Silla Town were all low-ranking officials of seventh, eighth or ninth grade, and most of them except for monthly There are no other subsidies for salary, so it is normal to live a tight life.
"Since it was earned by Nanny Chen, Nanny Chen should keep the money." Su Wenyue said. The money was not much to begin with, so Nanny Chen didn't worry about the money and accepted it with a smile.
"Let these words go out. Although this period of time is pure, no one dares to add insult to injury. If you want to curry favor with Mrs. Tongpan, you have to consider whether it will cause fire." Xiao Xi said with a somewhat unkind tone. Just these days can tell. There were quite a few people, many of whom came to flatter me when my lord was promoted, but when they heard that my wife had offended Lord Tongxuan, they just avoided my lady, and some of them even added insult to injury and completely changed their faces.
Su Wenyue originally didn't want to tell anyone about the Su family's relationship in Chang'an, but now she let Aunt Chen let the news out. That's what she meant. Even if she didn't want to be high-profile, she couldn't let others step on her. But this can't solve all the problems. Mrs. Tongpan probably won't let the matter go just because of these rumors. The relationship in Chang'an is indeed there, but the distance is far from the fire. Even if the county magistrate's wife is interested, Help, but after all, even the county magistrate has to listen to the judge, so I don’t know what tricks the Wangsun family will come up with.
Mrs. Zhou Wang is a person who refuses to settle down. It has only been two days since Su Wenyue refused to pass the verdict on his wife. Seeing that the situation is calm, nothing has happened to Mrs. Wang Sun. Mrs. Wang Sun has also returned from the provincial capital, and she can’t sit still. , thought about it, and came to the Han family again.
"Madam, Mrs. Zhou is not a good person this time. Otherwise, you should not see her anymore. Who knows what she is thinking." The people serving around Su Wenyue didn't have a good impression of the Zhou family. Now Su Wenyue is still pregnant with her child. The most unirritated person was that they didn't want to let Zhou Wang get close to Su Wenyue, lest they worry his wife by saying something that was not true.
"No, let's meet. I want to see what she is here for this time. Is it another tip?" Although Su Wenyue doesn't want to meet Zhou Wang, she still has to admit that Zhou Wang has some abilities in some aspects. For example, she is relatively well-informed in terms of information. Maybe there is some gossip. She doesn't necessarily have to believe it if she knows it. It's always good to be on guard.
"Mrs. Zhou, please sit down quickly. Our place has been deserted for several days. I didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to come here at this time, but what's the matter?" Su Wenyue asked casually with her back leaning on a big pillow.
Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Zhou Wang felt that those rumors must be true. She didn't expect that Su was so lucky and her natal family had such a strong background. No wonder she dared to refuse Mrs. Tongxuan. At that time, she was still thinking about why Su suddenly acted so stupidly and dared to do so. I have offended Mrs. Tongpan. It turns out that her background is so tough, otherwise she would not have come here today.
"Look at what Mrs. Han said, I'm not one of those people who follows the crowd. If it's good for you, I'll come forward. If it's not good, I'll stay away. Adding insult to injury is what a villain would do. Besides, Mrs. Han and I hit it off right away, and I'm very fond of her as a person. I admire her very much, and I came here today to see if there is anything I can do to help Mrs. Han.”
"Oh, it turns out that Mrs. Zhou is here to help, but our family is doing well recently, and there is nothing that needs Mrs. Zhou's help. I'm afraid I will let down Mrs. Zhou's good intentions."
"This" Mrs. Zhou Wang planned it well. She didn't expect that Su Wenyue wouldn't answer her question at all. How to proceed? If it were someone else who would be embarrassed, Ms. Zhou Wang was not an ordinary person. As soon as her brain changed, she immediately had a solution. Method.
"Mrs. Han is now a heretic. I know everything about you, Mrs. Tongpan and Mrs. Wang. To be honest, I admire your integrity, Mrs. Han. You dare to refuse Mrs. Tongpan. This is not something ordinary people can do." Yes, but I admire you. Having said that, Mrs. Tongpan and Mrs. Wang are not that kind-hearted. If Mrs. Han offends them, things will get worse, so we have to find a way to deal with it. "
Su Wenyue raised her eyebrows: "It seems that Mrs. Zhou has thought of a way?"
"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't have come here specially. I was so worried about this that I couldn't sleep well for the past two days. After thinking about it, I finally came up with a way, but I still need Mrs. Han to put down your identity and cooperate. That’s it.”
"Tell me."
"What I mean is that I will make peace with you. Mrs. Han, please apologize to Mrs. Wang and admit your mistake. I will also go to Mrs. Wang and tell her not to be unreasonable and let the matter be settled as it is. "Yes." Zhou Wang said quickly when she saw Su Wenyue's expression turned cold.
"I know your mother's family has a tough background. I've heard all those things. But no matter how tough your background is, it's still in Chang'an. It's too far away. If something happens, wait until it reaches Chang'an. The dishes are already cold. Lord Tongpan is in charge of our place, not to mention that we all live here so we can’t see each other without looking up. It’s pointless to make a scene too stiff..."
Zhou Wangshi tried her best to persuade Su Wenyue to do what she wanted. After hearing this, Su Wenyue still didn't understand. Zhou Wangshi had a good calculation and wanted to please both sides.
"Nanny Chen, see the guests off!" Originally thinking that Zhou had some news, Su Wenyue gave the order to expel the guests without waiting for Zhou Wang to finish.
Zhou Wang came out of the Han family in a state of embarrassment. The expression on her face could no longer be maintained. She never expected that Su Wenyue would do such a trick and directly asked her servants to drive her out. This ungrateful Su, since she didn't If you listen to her advice, just wait for bad luck. I really think you can do whatever you want with Jingcheng's idea and not knowing whether it is true or false!
Mrs. Zhou Wang left angrily and didn't go home. She went directly to Wang's house. She insisted on letting Mr. Su know how powerful she was this time. Anyone who offended her would not end well.
"Madam, this Wang is narrow-minded and likes to play tricks. You have offended her severely this time. Aren't you afraid that she will do evil behind her back?"
