Chapter 438： reduced to a joke

  Chapter 438 reduced to a joke

  Early the next morning, the son of the Xuanping Hou Mansion came to visit with someone.

  The Wei family is afraid of coming here for whatever reason, the son of the world came here this time to annul the engagement.

  The eldest son of the eldest son of the Wei family proposed to withdraw the engagement and asked for the dowry back on the grounds that the young lady of the Wei family had the fate of Kefu's son, and their brothers and sisters and Lord Xuanping wanted to live a few more years.

  The elder son had a tough attitude, and he blocked all the old uncle's persuasion.

  In the end, the Marquis of Xuanping had no choice but to cancel the marriage, and return all the betrothal gifts.

  For a while, Wei Ruo became a joke in the circle of wealthy aristocrats in the capital and a topic of conversation after dinner.

  Even if she had made some achievements in Taizhou Prefecture and received a compliment from the emperor, no one in the capital would dare to marry her.

  ###

  In Wei Qingwan's courtyard.

"Miss, this young lady has suffered retribution now! According to the servant girl, she was the one who spread the rumors about the young lady in the Taizhou mansion that day. Now that she is well, she herself has been burdened by the rumors and has become a broomstick who cannot get married. star!"

  Cui He spoke ill of Wei Ruo in front of Wei Qingwan with a happy face.

   "Karma retribution, reincarnation of the heavens, people are doing what the sky is watching, she has the intention of harming me, and now that she has suffered retribution, she can't blame anyone." Wei Qingwan said lightly.

"Well, Miss, you are right. According to the servants, the young lady may not even be able to marry a poor woman this time. When I went to the kitchen to get the young lady's bird's nest just now, I heard people in the mansion say, The old man intends to find a clean tenant from the village, and arrange for the young lady to marry him as soon as possible."

   "The grandparents should mean that they still want her to marry before me."

   "That's right, the eldest lady's reputation is so bad now, and the time is getting tighter, so she must not be able to find a good family." Cui He couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

  A smile appeared on Wei Qingwan's face.

  ###

  The big room of the Wei family.

   "This dead girl is really useless, a good marriage is just gone!" Wei Minghong cursed.

  While Wei Minghong was worried about Sanfang's daughter being able to marry high, he was also annoyed and angry at Wei Ruo's failure to marry into the Xuanping Hou Mansion to win benefits for the Wei family.

  Mr. Mo dared not speak at the side.

  Wei Minghong cursed again: "The key is the divorce, and it's hard to find someone else. Is this dead girl going to let the Wei family support her until she grows old?"

   "That's not the case. I think that child Ruo'er is quite intelligent, and he was born with a healthy body. He can't marry a Marquis, but he can marry an ordinary family." Mo said in a low voice.

   "Marrying an ordinary family? Doesn't the Wei family have to pay her a dowry?" Wei Minghong snorted coldly.

  Mo Shi was silent again.

  Wei Minghong continued: "If I knew this earlier, it would be better if I didn't recognize her back then, it would be useless at all!"

  ###

  The second room of the Wei family.

   "It's unlucky for a good marriage to be ruined like this!" Wei Mingyong said in an irritable tone.

Mrs. Bai was silent for a while, and after a while, she suddenly said to Wei Mingyong: "My lord, in the past, it was because this girl was useful, and the second elder used to spoil her, so we have to avoid her. Now she is useless, don't we? So you don't have to give her face?"

  Wei Mingyong looked at Bai Shi: "What did you think of?"

   "Those two jars of thyme! Did you forget? Didn't you want to give her two jars of thyme to others years ago?"

   Wei Mingyong's eyes lit up: "You reminded me!"

   "More than that, there are a lot of good things in her room!" Mrs. Bai has already lost her mind.

  Wei Mingyong thought for a while and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Asking her to take out the things can be regarded as her little contribution to this family."

  ###

   Changchun Garden.

  After the divorce was settled, Wei Ruo was in a good mood.

   Right now, she is sitting in front of the desk, planning her rouge and gouache shop.

   Trouble needs to be resolved, and money must continue to be earned.

  When it's inconvenient to go out when nestled in the Changchun Garden, Wei Ruo will not be idle. She has done the planning work here, and when she has the opportunity to go out, she can quickly implement it.

   It is not easy to open a rouge gouache shop. If Wei has the funds, the trouble is how to build a rouge gouache workshop.

  It is much more difficult to produce in batches than to prepare a few boxes of skin care cream in small quantities.

  She can make a small amount by herself, but for large quantities, she must have a continuous and stable production line, and also need to build a complete supply to ensure the supply of raw materials and cost control.

  First of all, Wei Ruo needs manpower.

  Zhao family brothers Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun have already arrived in the capital. Among the things that Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to explain to them before leaving Taizhou Mansion, except for temporarily letting go of the marriage proposal, let them come to the capital.

The reason why the Zhao family brothers were chosen was because Zhao Xun had also won the Juren, and he had to take part in the examination after the beginning of spring. Arranging the Zhao family brothers to come to the capital at this time is undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone. It will not only let Zhao Hai take care of his younger brother, but also let Zhao Hai Work for yourself.

There were also a few villagers from Shitou Village who came together. These villagers wanted to venture out, so Wei Ruo asked Zhao Hai to take them with them. When they first entered the capital, the Zhao family brothers alone would not be able to support them alone. Bring more reliable people. , it is more convenient to develop.

  Wei Ruo was busy at the desk when Mrs. Bai came.

   With a smile on his face, Bai came to Wei Ruo like a gust of wind, with light steps.

  Wei Ruo had already quietly covered the account book in front of her before she approached him, and then asked calmly, "What's the matter with the second aunt?"

   "Ruo'er, Second Aunt knows that you are not in a good mood when something like this happens." Bai said comfortingly.

"Thanks for caring."

Bad mood? No, she is in a much better mood now!

  Bai took Wei Ruo's right hand and comforted him: "Second Aunt knows you are sad, but this is the end of the matter, you can only look at it a little bit, life will still go on."

   "Second aunt, don't worry, I still take it very lightly. Who is not married?"

   "Yes, you marry whoever you marry. I believe your grandparents will arrange another good marriage for you." Bai said.

   Wei Ruo looked at Bai's earnest appearance, and guessed that she had something to tell him.

   "The second aunt didn't come here today just to comfort me, did she?" Wei Ruo said.

"The most important thing is of course to comfort you, Ruo'er. Of course, there are other things. Ruo'er, a friend of yours from Huzhou Prefecture gave you two jars of thyme as a gift, didn't you? At that time you said You are going to keep those two jars of wine as a dowry, but you see the Marquis of Xuanping has retired now..."

  Wei Ruo hooked her lips into a smile, and she really came for her things.

   "Xuanpinghou's mansion has retired, but I still want to marry someone else in the future. I can't be the Zhongyi uncle's mansion to support me for the rest of my life. Second aunt, what do you think?" Wei Ruo asked.
