Chapter 1504: Seeing the poor dagger
Fangfu Flower Hall.
Wu Meiniang was sitting at the main seat in a splendid long dress. Her crow-crowd hair was neatly combed into a bun on top of her head. Her head was full of pearls. Her white and delicate neck was as elegant and slender as a swan. She held a tea cup in her slender hands and her eyebrows were picturesque. Dignified and bright.
Now I am talking lightly...
"My mother felt unwell yesterday, so she invited the imperial doctor to a banquet. The imperial doctor told her to rest, and then prescribed some decoctions. She just drank the medicine and fell asleep. The embroiderer will leave the palace in autumn, but she doesn't even have a decent dowry. No, you guys I can turn a blind eye if I'm careless, but as a sister, I can't just watch my sister get married, right? So I've pulled a lot of fabrics for her in the past few days and hired a master from the palace to sew her wedding dress. ”
The Wu brothers were sitting at the bottom, all with dejected faces, looking at each other speechlessly...
Originally, she wanted to beg Ms. Yang to say a few nice words in front of Meiniang, but now not only could she not see anyone, but she was also ridiculed by Wu Meiniang in a weird way.
The Wu brothers naturally knew that the charming and weak woman in front of them had a cold heart. Once she was cruel, she could do anything...
But now the two of them have been forced to the edge of the cliff. If they offend the Hejian County King, how can they survive?
Wu Yuanshuang could only grit his teeth and said with a cheeky smile: "Look at what my sister said, brother, I don't want to take care of my mother well, so I want to buy more dowry for the embroiderer, so that she can stand up straight in her husband's family, and don't want to be Are you looking down on me? But it’s hard for me to be a brother! Mei Niang must have some idea of what the situation is like at home, and it’s really hard for me to be a brother..."
"Didn't I borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars for you, smooth the relationship with His Highness King Wu, and win the project?"
Wu Meiniang coldly interrupted Wu Yuanshuang's words, took a sip of tea, gently placed the tea cup on the table in front of her, raised a pair of clear and bright eyes, as if she had no idea about the collapse of the house built by the Wu brothers. , said calmly: "I also know a little bit about the profit of the project, about 50% of the profit There is still some. But don’t worry, you can just keep the money. You don’t need to pay for the embroiderer’s dowry. I have also saved some private money in the past two years. This time, I will pay it all to the embroiderer. You act as brothers. No, I, as a sister, can’t watch.”
The Wu brothers were so choked that their faces turned red...
They didn't believe that Wu Meiniang didn't know what was going on at the construction site. Regardless of whether His Highness the King of Wu or the Prince of Hejian, whether pursuing responsibility or collecting debts, they must inform Wu Meiniang in advance. Now seeing Wu Meiniang's expression of complete ignorance, it was obvious I don’t want to get involved...
But now they are desperate. If not Wu Meiniang, who else can they turn to?
Wu Yuanshuang was shocked back and could only wink at his brother frequently. Wu Yuanqing said reluctantly: "This... that... Speaking of which, the rain at the construction site was so heavy that the renovated house collapsed several times. At this time, His Highness the King of Wu was very angry. This time, the younger sister had to help her brothers and ask for a favor from His Highness the King of Wu..."
"Haha..."
Wu Meiniang sneered, the corners of her lips rose slightly, her phoenix eyes were filled with a playful look, she nodded slightly, and whispered slowly: "It doesn't matter...even though we are not siblings, we are still connected by blood. , you have been able to treat us mother and daughter harshly without caring about family ties over the years, but how can I bear to watch you go to jail and be sent away thousands of miles away? Okay, let's look back. I'm going to beg Erlang. Even if I risk being scolded by him, I will definitely ask him to ask for a favor from His Highness King Wu. You don't have to worry about this. Just feel at ease. That's why you came here today, right? Okay, I went to bed at dawn last night after reviewing the account books, and now I have no energy at all. I need to catch up on my sleep... Brothers, please walk slowly."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
The Wu brothers were dumbfounded...
This won't work!
Although the problem with His Highness King Wu has been solved, where is the Prince of Hejian County?
However, just now Wu Meiniang agreed without hesitation to go to King Wu to plead for mercy, and she said it so sincerely. If it were anyone else, who would have the nerve to ask her to reject the King of Hejian County as well?
Even with the thick skin and dark hearts of these two people, it is inevitable that they will be in great embarrassment...
The Wu brothers were speechless for a long time, and then they suddenly realized that they had agreed to one thing first, which made them feel that asking for more was too much, and they couldn't open their mouths when they were embarrassed, right?
This damn girl is really sinister and sinister. She just wants to embarrass our brothers!
But regardless of whether it was embarrassing or not, when things came to a head, apart from Wu Meiniang, how could they do anything else?
Even if Wu Meiniang is teasing her like a cat chasing a mouse, she can only endure it...
Wu Yuanshuang smiled shyly and bowed: "Don't worry, sister. Brother Yu has a little thing to ask for help from my sister..."
Wu Meiniang stopped her steps, stood upright, turned around and stared at Wu Yuanshuang for a long time, until she saw Wu Yuanshuang was so heartbroken that she smiled and said, "Brother, do you think Meiniang is easy to talk to?" Son, are you going to do this all the time? Or are you so heartbroken that you have completely forgotten how you treated us mother and daughter so harshly, and you still think that we are brothers and sisters who are better than brothers?”
Wu Yuanqing immediately changed his expression and said angrily: "Are you talking to your brother again?"
Wu Yuanshuang was startled and quickly grabbed his brother's arm, thinking to himself, what kind of stupidity are you doing? We are now asking for help from others. As long as the problem can be solved, let's not sarcastically criticize others. What's the matter if we just point our noses and curse a few words?
Holding down Wu Yuanqing who was not thinking clearly, Wu Yuanshuang turned around and smiled at Wu Meiniang: "Don't blame Meiniang, things have not been going well at home recently, and my brother will inevitably get a little more angry... This time, the brothers are really desperate and only hope for my sister. For the sake of flesh and blood, I can help my brothers for the last time. My brother swears to heaven that this will definitely be the last time. He will never come to ask for his sister again. "
After hearing this, Wu Meiniang's pretty face was tense and noncommittal, but she turned back to sit on the chair and said expressionlessly: "Tell me, what is it?"
Wu Yuanshuang said quickly: "Isn't there something going on at the construction site? The wages are obviously gone, so the interest from the Hejian County Prince's Mansion... I'm afraid it won't be paid for a while."
< br>
Wu Meiniang's pretty eyes widened and she looked at Wu Yuanshuang like an idiot...
After a long while, Wu Meiniang sneered and nodded: "Very good. As expected, I have a thick face and a dark heart... Then I would like to ask the two brothers, how do I want my little sister to help you?"
"This..."
Wu Yuanshuang was choked.
They were just desperate and thought of asking Wu Meiniang for help. But now that Wu Meiniang was asking questions like this, they realized that they had not planned a solution in advance.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that it is really difficult to solve...
Let Wu Meiniang plead with the Prince of Hejian County and ask for more grace in repaying the money? Not to mention that the Prince of Hejian County is known to regard wealth as life, and it is basically impossible to sell it to Wu Meiniang for face. Even if the face is given, when should the two brothers pay back the money?
There is no entry at all...
Let Wu Meiniang come up with money to help them pay off their debts?
That’s even more nonsense!
It would be considered generous if someone could help them with loans and smooth relations with the King of Wu regardless of their past grievances, but why would they let a concubine use her husband's money to make up for her natal brother?
That's hundreds of thousands of coins!
Even the Wu brothers couldn't open their mouths because they were so shameless. It wasn't just that they were shameless. Wu Meiniang said she couldn't instruct her slaves to kick them out...
Wu Meiniang looked at the confused expressions of the Wu brothers, feeling secretly happy in her heart, but her face was still as cold as ice, and she asked lightly: "To tell you the truth? How can I help you draw a charter?"
< br>
The Wu brothers looked at each other in silence, but after all, Wu Yuanshuang was more clever. He rolled his eyes and said with a shy face: "Brother Yu is really at his wits' end. How about... Mei Niang give me an idea?"
Wu Meiniang sneered and said: "Isn't that easy? Let the Hejian County Prince's Palace take away your house directly. You can just pack up and go back to your hometown in Bingzhou."
The Wu brothers’ faces turned dark...
Return to Bingzhou?
If we can go back, why do you think we are unwilling to go back? The ancestral house and land in their hometown have been sold piecemeal to the clansmen by the two brothers these days... If they lose their family home in Chang'an and go back to Bingzhou, let's see if those clansmen will give them half a hand. Give them a steamed bun to eat!
Wu Yuanshuang smiled bitterly and said: "This... I'm afraid it won't work."
Wu Meiniang said: "Then I have no choice, you just have to figure it out."
Wu Yuanshuang regretted letting Yang and Xiu Niang come to Fang's house to persuade Mei Niang. If Yang and Xiu Niang were at Wu's house at this moment, Mei Niang wouldn't have watched her mother and sister being driven into the street, right?
Wu Yuanshuang had no choice but to say: "Please sister, please think of a way. Brother Yu really has no idea."
Wu Meiniang smiled faintly and felt that the time was almost up, so she said casually: "There is a way, but I don't know if the two brothers think it is appropriate..." (End of Chapter)
