Wanjin Lady

Chapter 417 Double Standards
"Oh, Madam Wang, you can't say that. Didn't you see the sign in front of the Red Mansion? 'Orchids share the same blood, sisters from all over the world share Chang'an! Which woman in this world is not a daughter, which woman is not a wife? We are all sisters from the same family, so please don't treat each other badly."

"Exactly! Shopkeeper Wen is so smart that he actually thought of organizing Women's Day. I heard that many shops in the city are having 50% off sales today. Let's make an appointment to go shopping later."

"My mother-in-law told me not to stay out too late before she left. Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Wen said they're staging a new play today? I'm tired of hearing about 'The Real and False Daughter'. People in the teahouse outside are talking about it, too. At first, I felt sympathy for the real daughter, but the more I listened, the angrier I got. She's just a punching bag! She just waits for her husband to come rescue her every day, and she doesn't have any tricks up her sleeve!"

Mrs. Luo laughed and said, "It's because a woman is weak that she attracts her husband's love. If all women in the world were strong and domineering, wouldn't men be ashamed?"

"Does a man's dignity require a woman's fragility? In my opinion, that's not what a real man does."

"Hey, let's talk about the play. What are we arguing about? Come on, I'll treat you to a cup of sour plum soup to cool down."

"Don't you want milk tea?"

"Ever since the incident at Chunri Tower, who still drinks milk tea? And Miss Wen said that milk prices have been rising recently, so there won't be any milk tea at the Red Mansion for the next ten days or half a month! Okay, drink less milk tea. That thing always keeps me awake at night after drinking it!"

The two close friends reconciled in an instant and happily discussed whether to drink sour plum soup or mung bean drink.

To be an excellent salesperson, you must have the keen ability to understand changes in customer needs.

When Wen Wan heard someone complain about the heroine being cowardly and incompetent for the third time, she realized the awakening of feminism.

Tired of reading Niang Daowen?

Then let’s start with some pseudo-female lead stories!

So, Zheng Tongsheng, who was in the process of writing a story about a mother, changed his mind and wrote a story with a strong female protagonist under Wen Wan's coercion and inducement.

This story tells of the second sister of the Wei family, who married into the family of a military commander. On the night of their wedding, the hero was ordered to go to war, a journey that lasted five years. The heroine toiled tirelessly to maintain the household, even using her dowry to support her in-laws. Upon his return, the hero brought a pregnant woman with him and made her his concubine. His parents-in-law, who had once served him so devotedly, even shielded their son's affairs, forcing the heroine to accept the marriage.

In anger, the heroine divorced her ex-husband and took up arms to go to the battlefield.

Hey, yes, the heroine has countless vests, such as being the descendant of the God of War, the descendant of a miracle doctor, and herself being the daughter of a wealthy family. Relying on these golden fingers, she kills people on the battlefield and even attracts her ex-husband to fall in love with her. In the end, the two shook hands and made peace, and reconciled.

"But..." Zheng Tongsheng expressed his confusion as he wrote in his storybook, "If Miss Wei is so powerful, why would she end up being controlled by her illiterate parents-in-law?"

"Besides, since she is the daughter of a wealthy family, why did her family allow her to be bullied?"

"Finally, I think... the fact that the Wei family girl is the descendant of the God of War, the heir of a miraculous doctor, the heir of a master of mechanical engineering, and the heir of a master of formations is inherently illogical. She possesses countless noble identities, what the shopkeeper calls golden fingers, and yet she has to reveal her identities layer by layer in front of the male protagonist... Oh... no... revealing her true identity. Isn't the core of this still about seeking recognition from her ex-husband and hoping that he will fall in love with her?"

Wen Wan couldn't answer, so she was furious: "I'll give you another ten taels of silver! Just write it according to what I say!"

Zheng Tongsheng threw down his pen and said, "I will never write a book that is so illogical and off-topic!"

"What theme are you deviating from?" "A strong female lead! Independent and self-reliant!" Zheng Tongsheng puffed out his chest. "This is a pseudo-strong female lead novel!"

What happened to the fake heroine?
Wouldn't that require the young ladies of the Chen Dynasty to go through a period of psychological acceptance?
First, she will scratch the itch through the shoe, and then the real heroine will scratch it directly. Wouldn’t she make another profit?
Wen Wan's fierce look was revealed, "I'll add another ten taels."

Zheng Tongsheng picked up the pen and said with a grin, "This won't happen again."

Wen Wan was waiting at the railing on the second floor to watch the show, but Hongmei came anxiously to say that Jia had arrived.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "She's here, she doesn't eat people."

"But there is no need to come to the temple for no reason!"

The master and servant went downstairs to the lobby one after the other. The winding path blocked their view, and Wen Wan could not see the people in front of her. She only saw Liu Yiyi and Chen Ma, who were on full alert and holding the child tightly, like a hen protecting her chicks.

Fortunately, Wen Wan's footsteps were soon heard behind them. Wen Wan waved her hand, and the two of them carried the child to the study on the second floor. Wen Wan bowed slightly to Jia, with an impeccable smile on her face, "Mrs. Jia."

"Ah, Miss Wang."

She looked at Wang Xiaoniang, the official boss of Chunri Tower behind her. She had a gloomy face and was obviously dissatisfied when she saw Wen Wan. Especially when she saw Wen Wan's cheerful look, and then thought of the lawsuits she was involved in, Wang Xiaoniang's expression became uneasy.

Jia and Miss Wang appeared together, are they preparing to play their cards openly?

Unexpectedly, Jia came forward and shook Wen Wan's hand affectionately, "I have never been to the opening of this Red Mansion, Miss Wen. I was ill some time ago and missed a lot of the excitement in the city. Now that I am much better, I wanted to come and show my support."

Hongmei, standing behind Wen Wan, clenched her fists and stood ready. She had thought the two were going to engage in some covert warfare, but she hadn't expected her daughter to smile even more affectionately than Jia. "It's hard to believe that Old Madam Jia still thinks of me. It's the transition from autumn to winter, so you'd better take care of yourself. The door to the Red Mansion is open, you can come anytime. Come on, I'll personally take Madam Jia to the second-floor viewing platform."

So, halfway through the performance of "Fighting Spring Breeze", an even more dramatic scene occurred.

Miss Cao saw that the young ladies in the sofa area opposite were looking back frequently. There was a brief commotion in the crowd, and then it strangely returned to calm.

Wen Wan personally helped Madam Jia to her seat, and carefully asked someone to bring a blanket to cover her. She then recommended desserts from the Red Mansion to Madam Jia. The two of them talked and laughed, and at first glance they looked like real mother and daughter.

After Wen Wan turned and left, Jia saw the young ladies in the sofa area leaning over and said with a smile, "This young lady Wen is really a considerate person. I wonder who is so lucky to marry such a good girl."

Everyone was confused, but didn't dare to respond.

Everyone knows that some time ago, Jia insisted that Wen Wan was the murderer, went to the government office to make trouble, and scolded Wen Wan to everyone she met. She finally went to the temple to calm down for a while, so why did she suddenly change her attitude this time?
Madam Luo had been close to Wen Wan in the past, and she was well-informed, so she naturally knew that the boss of Chunri Tower was Madam Wang, but the one who was actually calling the shots was Jia.

Speaking of which, Madam Luo didn't know why Wen Wan caught her eye. Logically speaking, she hated delicate young ladies the most!
She doesn't dislike her gentle and charming side, she even finds her cute.
