Chapter 160 Surprise at the Wedding Banquet
Mo Chenxi explained: "The former Fourth Madam Xue will become Fifth Madam Liao in the future. She is the junior sister of Sister Wang."
He Wenyan nodded. He knew this. It seemed that others also said that the Wang Dong family was the Wang family of Pingyang Prefecture, and they were of the same clan as Mrs. Xue Si.
"Because of Mrs. Wang's relationship, I'm also familiar with Mrs. Liao Wu. Mrs. Liao Wu married from the General's Mansion, and Mrs. Wang invited me to attend the wedding banquet with her."
He Wenyan nodded stupidly. Even Doctor Wu might not be able to enter the General's Mansion.
His heart was pounding.
Mo Chenxi said: “I know that the master didn’t like the people I made friends with before, otherwise I would have refused.”
He Wenyan blurted out, "How can I not go?"
Later he explained, "They invited us so warmly. How could we, as a couple, not even give them this honor?"
Mo Chenxi thought, well, before she told you not to go, He Wenyan said that the couple should go together.
She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm just worried that it's hard to prepare this gift. If it's too much, I won't be able to present it, and if it's too little, people will laugh at me."
He Wenyan quickly took out a banknote and said, "These are my two-month salary. Take these first. If it's not enough, I'll find a way to see if my third brother has any."
Mo Chenxi thought, see, see, he is not stupid and knows nothing.
But to be honest, the Mo family had prepared everything for him before, so he just sat back and did nothing.
Now that there is a man to support the family, and there is money and free time, Mo Chenxi will not try so hard to make more money. Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and do nothing?
He Wenyan also asked with concern: "Have you prepared the clothes and jewelry for the wedding banquet?"
Mo Chenxi said: "I have nothing to prepare. I am just a guest. Who would notice me?"
A scene appeared in her mind. The original body was going to attend a banquet and wanted to buy clothes and jewelry. This is what He Wenyan said.
But now He Wenyan said: "How can that be? There are many noble ladies going there. As the old saying goes, judge a person by his clothes first. When you meet someone for the first time, you have to leave a good impression."
Mo Chenxi smiled, "That's what the master said."
But she sneered in her heart, because she was going to General Xue's mansion, so he was willing to buy her new clothes and new jewelry.
If He Wenyan was really aloof and looked down on the powerful, of course she would not look up to him. She could only say that he was corrupt and had low emotional intelligence.
However, if the family relied on him and the household expenses were earned by him, his inconsistency is understandable.
He earned the money, so he has the right to be picky.
But in the past, he ate and drank with his wife and complained that she spent money recklessly. Now that she is trying to curry favor with the powerful, he knows that he is the one who gets the money.
Mo Chenxi felt that such a person was shameless, but he also felt that it was caused by the original body. If Mo had not been so arrogant as to take on all the responsibilities of a man from the beginning when she married into the family, He Wenyan probably would not have become like this.
If He Wenyan was really useless, Mo's father would not have married his daughter to him.
Since He Wenyan suggested buying new clothes and jewelry, Mo Chenxi would not be polite.
If you are polite, people won't bring it up next time, thinking that you won't do it anyway even if I tell you to.
She used the money He Wenyan gave her to buy new clothes and jewelry for herself and her daughter. As for the money paid by her foster father-in-law, she let him figure it out himself.
She won't take on everything anymore.
After this year, Mo Chenxi stopped caring about the housekeeper, and He Wenyan began to worry about supporting the family.
The last time I came back, I looked for my third brother to discuss how I could make extra money with less capital.
This made He Wenliang depressed. If he could have thought of such a good thing, he would have done it long ago.
At that time, I retorted to my elder brother: Those who don’t need any capital, but can see copper coins every day, are doing hard labor at the docks.
He Wenyan planned to attend the wedding banquet first, and then discuss it with his wife and third brother. He thought of a way to make money in Tongzhou, and if it worked, he would give it a try.
He Wenpu and He Wenliang were very envious of their brother's ability to go to General Xue's mansion. They also knew that it was due to his eldest sister-in-law's popularity, probably the popularity with her family.
Mo Chenxi and his family of three went to the Wang family first, and then went to the Xue family with the Wang family.
Wang Jingye saw that He Wenyan's attitude towards him was much more respectful than before, so he had nothing to despise. If he was still as hypocritical as before, that would be what he would despise.
A man who knows the current affairs is a hero.
When they arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, General Xue's staff personally greeted the Wang family, which surprised the guests who arrived at the same time.
They were all greeted by the steward of the Xue family, but this Wang Shangjia was actually greeted by General Xue's staff.
It seems like he is waiting for that Mr. Wang.
Minister Lian of the Ministry of Revenue was in the sedan at this time. He narrowed his eyes. The Wang family was a merchant family. It was impossible that General Xue treated them like this just because Mrs. Wang was the senior sister of Mrs. Xue Si.
He suddenly thought of Queen Mother Wang. Just when Wang Dongjia appeared in the capital, Queen Mother Wang's cousin also came to the capital.
Could it be that the Wang family is the Queen Mother’s family?
Minister Lian's eldest daughter-in-law is Hanlin Zhong's eldest daughter. When they got married, how could he have imagined that Hanlin Zhong's inner house would be such a mess?
What he knew was also known to the outside world. Zhong Hanlin's first wife had no children for three years. After she passed away, Zhong Hanlin married the granddaughter of his grandmother's niece.
Because Zhong Hanlin was the prince's teacher, and later the emperor's teacher, and he was not yet a minister at that time, he let his son marry a concubine's child, simply because of Zhong Hanlin's sake.
Later, the Queen Mother promoted him. At first, he thought that his abilities were appreciated by the Queen Mother, but later he found out that it was because of her eldest granddaughter.
He was excited that the Queen Mother was going to give extra support to the future Queen's maternal family.
Although he knew that his granddaughter was only one of the candidates, with Zhong Hanlin, the chances of winning were greater.
Minister Lian did not allow his granddaughter to go out, and the nanny he hired to teach her was of a certain rank.
Who knew that Zhong Hanlin's first wife was forced to commit suicide? Minister Lian was so angry.
Knowing that his granddaughter lost her candidacy.
When Minister Lian saw Wang Dongjia, he regretted not checking on him earlier to see if there was any way to make friends with him.
It wasn't just Minister Lian who saw this. No one was stupid. When they saw General Xue's staff welcoming Wang Dongjia, they were all thinking about it. The smart ones immediately thought of Queen Mother Wang.
Before Prince Weixing set out, he heard what his confidant said when he ran back, and his suspicions were confirmed.
No wonder Wang Dongjia's wife beat her brother-in-law, and the Princess of the County was scolded by Queen Mother Wang when she entered the palace.
Of course, he didn't scold his brother-in-law for being beaten, but picked another harmless matter to scold him.
This was the first time for He Wenyan and his wife to see the world. They couldn't tell the difference between staff and managers, and they didn't have the thoughts of those big shots.
I just feel that the Xue family attaches great importance to the Wang family, and I think it’s because of Wang Huilan.
The dinner was held separately for men and women. He Wenyan was very excited. If it weren't for his wife, he wouldn't be able to attend this kind of event.
All the guests were officials of the third rank and above, as well as some royal relatives.
He Wenyan felt somewhat smug. His superior, Doctor Wu, would probably be surprised if he knew that he had attended the wedding banquet.
However, at the wedding banquet, he saw a person whose expression of surprise was even more surprising than when he heard that General Xue's sister-in-law was going to marry his brother-in-law.
