Wanjin Lady

Chapter 404 Estrangement
He really wanted to meet this man named Zhao Heng.

Unfortunately, and hatefully, he died.

How could Wei Zheng argue with a dead man?

New people are good, old people are better, but the dead old people... are the best.

"Your junior sister has a hard life, but she doesn't feel it." Yao Shizhen sighed, then turned to look at him, "Please take good care of her for me. And her two children..."

Yao Shizhen had just visited the Wen residence this afternoon and was all smiles when he spoke of the two little ones. "Zhao Zhao and Hun Ge'er are almost able to walk. Even though Zhao Zhao is a girl, she's incredibly strong and might become a female general in the future. Hun Ge'er is clever. Even at a young age, she knows when she can't win, so she'll outsmart them. She's as clever as her mother."

The two little kids were fighting back and forth, and it was fun to watch.

However, Wei Zheng beside him was lost in thought, and Yao Shizhen couldn't help but worry, "Your head hurts again?"

"I just drank some alcohol and was blown by the wind, and my headache keeps coming back."

The headache is real, and the heartache is also real.

"I heard you had a headache a few days ago and couldn't sleep all night. Perhaps you could write to the Empress and ask her to send a doctor from the Imperial Hospital to treat you."

"If that's the case, my aunt will be worried again." Wei Zheng rubbed his temples. The woman's figure kept appearing in his mind, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see her face clearly.

"I'll ask your mistress to prepare some calming incense for you. Light it before you go to sleep, and it might help. Also, there are many good doctors in Bozhou City. If this doctor doesn't work, try another one."

Wei Zheng couldn't listen.

Deep love between husband and wife?

Love is stronger than gold?

Soulmate?

When Wei Zheng walked out of Yao Shizhen's room, he pulled out a white handkerchief from his sleeve. The faint fragrance of wild gardenia brought back to his mind the romantic moments he had with her on the boat that day.

If you don't cut it off when you should, you will suffer the consequences.

Wei Zheng threw the white handkerchief casually, and it fell to the ground silently. The orchid pattern on the corner was very eye-catching.

Wei Zheng stared at the handkerchief at his feet and sneered.

Why would Wei Zheng bother to argue with a dead man?
The long street was deserted, with only Wei Zheng walking alone. The night wind rustled, and sweet osmanthus flowers drifted to the ground, their thoughts unknown to anyone.

moment.

On the bluestone slab.

A pair of black soap boots.

The man had long fingers and distinct blue veins on the back of his hands.

Wei Zheng picked up the robe on the ground.

The moonlight was bleak, falling on his shoulders, casting a gentle holy light on him.

Haha, a dead man, can’t Wei Zheng fight against him?

The next morning, Wen Wan summoned Hongmei, asking her to condescend to call back Chen Erjie and the others from Chunri Tower. Hongmei was initially puzzled; the young lady had boasted that she would not stop anyone who wanted to leave the Red Chamber, and now she was taking back her words.

Wen Wan smiled and urged her, "Remember to be humble. No matter what conditions they offer, coax them back first."

Hongmei nodded, not quite understanding. "I see. I told you they were the pillars of the Red Mansion. After they left, the business plummeted. We urgently need them to come back and save the business. I'll pay them three times their wages every month."

Wen Wan smiled: "It would be better to bring the female workers from Chunri Building back to me as well."

Hongmei was worried, "Miss, we don't need so many female workers in the Red Mansion!"

The man chuckled and spoke ambiguously, "Who says it's not?"

"Oh, right, have someone quickly prepare a welcome banner made of red cloth and hang it at the door. Say "Welcome to the Bozhou Wine Merchants Exchange Meeting" on it. Have Zhang Chunhua and the others prepare food for about 20 to 30 people."

Wen Wan pulled out the invitations she had prepared last night from under the table and said, "Please ask Shopkeeper Lei to personally deliver these invitations to the guests."

Hongmei was completely baffled, but she had a vague feeling that the girl was going to make some big moves in the next few days, so she tentatively asked, "Miss, are we going to deal with those people from Chunri Tower?" Her tone turned excited, "Are we going to kill a pig?"

Wen Wan pointed a finger at Hongmei's eyebrows and said, "Don't kill her, keep her alive first."

Speaking of slaughtering pigs, why do I miss pig spirits a little bit?

When Feng, the owner of Feng's Dim Sum Shop, received the invitation to the Red Mansion, he turned it over and over again, but couldn't see a single thing in it. He shook his head and placed the invitation on the table. "The last time we had the Sugar and Wine Fair, that treacherous Wen family made me lose over a hundred boxes of expensive dim sum. This time, she actually dared to rob my Feng's shop!"

Shopkeeper Feng was still upset about the time when Wen Wan used the gimmick of exclusive sponsorship to increase the order from 20 boxes at the beginning to 120 boxes later, which made him bleed a lot of money.

He finally understood.

That woman from the Wen family never comes to visit someone for no reason. This time she suddenly organized an exchange meeting, she is sure to make him bleed again!

Definitely not going!

I'd rather die than go!

The waiter laughed and said, "But I heard that this red building has a special world. The only people who come in and out on weekdays are the wives of officials. Ordinary people can't enter. There are also sweet drinks like milk tea and sour plum soup, not to mention. There is also a book bar on the third floor. It's very elegant!"

Shopkeeper Feng puffed out his chest, his pride barely concealed. "The Red Mansion... My wife has been there, too. She even had the pleasure of speaking to the prefect's wife. She did mention that the audio dramas in the backyard of the Red Mansion are quite interesting. The now-popular teahouse play 'The True and False Daughter' originally originated from the Red Mansion."

Unfortunately, the things in the Red Mansion cost hundreds of coins, and it would be painful to spend money there every now and then.

Haha, this profiteer is really good at making money. All the money he and his wife earned was taken away by Wen Wan!
"Boss, go take a look. The Red Mansion used to only accept female guests, but now they've sent invitations to the owner alone, which shows that Boss Wen attaches great importance to this exchange meeting. I just saw that the Liao family next door also received an invitation from the Red Mansion. If everyone goes, and you don't go..."

Shopkeeper Feng felt itchy and picked up the invitation again and read it over again. "In that case, let's give her some face and go to the Red Mansion tomorrow to take a look."

The two managers of the Lei family were busy distributing invitations all over the city, but Chunri Tower was very quiet at the moment.

Chunrilou and Honglou specialize in afternoon tea, and their busy hours are concentrated only in the afternoon and early evening.

There were no customers this morning, so the female workers had to clean and prepare food in advance. It happened that the shopkeeper was not at home today, so some sharp-eyed people noticed that the female workers from the Red Mansion were coming in and out, and their expressions were different when they came back.

The four or five of them grumbled in the corner for half a day, and finally quarreled and left on bad terms. Then someone with a nosy heart went to find Chen Erjie to inquire about the situation. Chen Erjie was not a man of few words, and she immediately told everyone that the Red Mansion had invited her back. "Oh, my former boss said I was a good worker, and that the Red Mansion's business was bad without us, so they asked us to go back! Not only will our wages be doubled, but we'll also be offered the position of manager!"

Double again?
The wages of this group of people poached from the Red Mansion are already much higher than theirs. Wouldn’t their wages be three times higher than theirs after this round trip?
