Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields-Chapter 990: not difficult
After recognizing Mother Xiao as a mother-in-law, Li Haitang's life became much more fulfilling. As her belly got bigger, her energy became weaker and weaker. By the time Yangchun entered March, she was already eight months pregnant.
March 3rd of the lunar calendar is the Shangsi Festival in Daqi, which is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor, but in the capital of Daqi, it is also called the Girl’s Day.
Bathing with orchid grass, walking in the green, and the flowing water, the women in Kyoto went out one after another, shopping leisurely, even the widows whose husbands died and guarded the chastity archway did not have this taboo.
March 3rd was Dou Bao's second birthday. The two festivals came together, and Li Haitang decided to make a big deal. The shop was closed for a day, and the shopkeepers were given a rest and a red envelope.
In March, the spring is just right, and the people in Kyoto have already put on thin spring shirts, and the villages around their homes are covered with greenery.
It is not as hot as summer, and the climate is relatively mild, which is Li Haitang's favorite.
"Ma'am, it's the birthday of Master Doubao, how do we celebrate the holiday?"
Wufu started a daily question mode a few days ago, but his wife smiled and didn't answer. She was mysterious and seemed to want to surprise everyone.
"Let's go out first, find Ruyi, and then meet up, go shopping and eat wine. I have already reserved a few tables at Taibailou in Kyoto, and everyone in the shop will go."
Li Haitang had a smile on her face, it wasn't that she wanted to keep it a secret, it was that she didn't know how to celebrate Dou Bao's birthday, she didn't want to be troubled by this problem, so she just threw it to her mother-in-law, Xiao's mother gave several plans.
When I heard that I went to Taibailou, Wufu's eyes lit up. It is one of the best restaurants in Kyoto. It is very distinctive and has another characteristic, that is, it is expensive.
"Ma'am, how much money does that table cost?"
Wufu heard that a signature dish of eight-treasure duck costs eighty-eight taels. If you put together ten big dishes, plus drinks, it won't cost more than a thousand taels?
One thousand taels of silver, in the west and north of the city, is enough to buy a shop. The shop is rented out, and the annual rent is still dozens of taels of silver...
"Wu Fu, have you been learning to settle accounts with Wu Qi recently? Why did you fall into the eyes of money?"
Li Haitang felt amused, but what Wu Fu said was very reasonable. It cost a few thousand taels for a meal, and she was not as rich as a local rich yet.
The reason why she chose Taibai Building is because, a few days ago, she opened a shop called Ting Ting Medical Center, which specializes in digging people's secrets.
A few days after opening, no one came to the door, but someone was poking around at the door of the medical hall, and her carriage was even followed.
The driver of the carriage was Bai Bing. After leaving the city, he threw off the follower. On the second day, someone came to the hospital, and it was the proprietress of Taibailou.
The owner of Taibailou is surnamed An. It is a century-old merchant in Kyoto.
A few years ago, something went wrong in the Wang family's family, and they offended the powerful. In a short period of time, the family was sealed up, and relatives were convicted. It took most of the family property to get him out of the prison.
The Wang family fell rapidly, and the marriage with the An family was nothing.
The Wang family collapsed and their marriage was withdrawn, their reputation was ruined. There were not many good and capable men who came to propose marriage, and most of them were rascals.
"Ma'am, how did Mrs. Wang marry An's family and become the proprietress of Taibai Building?"
Wufu packed a small package, then prepared teapots and bowls, and the group went out.
"The only son of An's family suddenly became seriously ill, and let Mrs. Wang come over to rejoice." f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
Mrs. Wang has a straightforward personality, and she doesn't shy away from the past. Xu Shi Chongxi had an effect. After she entered the house, the only son of An's family gradually improved, and the two of them lived a good life for several years.
Wang was in charge of her natal family, so she naturally took over Taibailou.
"Ma'am, you haven't said yet, what trouble does Mrs. Wang come to you for?"
A group of people got into the carriage, but Wu Fu was still asking questions. She was very curious. Before the madam's shop opened, the asking price was extremely expensive. Wu Fu also bet with Bai Guo, using 200 cash as a bet, that the madam must have no business.
As a result, within a few days, Bai Guo proudly came to her, but she lost.
Wufu really doesn't understand what these people think, what's wrong with spending money to let others listen to their privacy?
If it was her, she could just squat on any hill, talk to flowers and plants, if she wanted to find something smart, cats and dogs, chickens, ducks and geese, there were plenty of them in the village. I
"How much trouble can a woman have? Most of the troubles come from the person next to her pillow."
An's family is a prodigal son, after he recovered from his illness, he wandered around Hualou and never returned home. Wang's family had no heirs in An's family, so life was difficult.
When Mrs. Wang came, she wanted to ask the owner of Ting Ting Medical Hall to help her find a way. As long as it was suitable, she was willing to offer a few tables of top-quality noodles from Taibailou as a thank you.
Top-quality noodles, a table of thousands of taels of silver, the person who can go to Taibailou is definitely a wealthy family with a lot of money.
In the capital, most of the rich are businessmen, and those high-ranking people only pay attention to the background, but extremely despise the extravagance.
After all, they can't afford it. Hundreds of people, as well as the clan members below, all need to be taken care of, and every household is inseparable from poor relatives who beat the autumn wind. The clan members get married, marry and marry according to the regulations, so there is no spare money for luxury. You know, what you eat in your stomach can temporarily satisfy you.
Desire to eat, and then I can't even see a splash.
"Wufu, if you were our wife, what would you do to Mrs. Wang?"
Because of this, Bai Guo earned 200 Wen, and the next day, with Chunmei on her back, she went to the village to buy two pheasants and made smoked chicken, which made Wufu's mouth water.
In the end, Bai Guo gave the chicken to Wu Fu, and before that, she teased her wickedly.
"Hmph, what's the way, of course it's a big beating, until he can't get up, he can let the servants carry the bed, and go to the flower house to have fun?"
Wu Fu clenched his fist, and after he finished speaking, he made himself laugh out loud.
You don't need to slap someone in the face, you can just say hello to the face, beat that guy surnamed An until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and then he has no face to go out, so that he can be honest.
"How can it be? You need to use your brain and pay attention to strategy."
Bai Guo covered her mouth and kept yelling, beating and killing, which was indeed Wu Fu's temperament.
The Wang's family was in decline, and her natal family was not tough. She entered the An's family and belonged to Gao Pan. If she did something like beating her husband, she would be immediately dismissed by the An's family and returned to her natal family.
This is not going to work.
"What's Ma'am's idea?"
Wu Fu asked Bai Guo, and Bai Guo shook her head. After thinking about it for several nights, she couldn't figure out how Madam could solve it.
They were able to go to Taibailou for dinner, which means that Madam helped Wang to settle the matter satisfactorily.
"It's actually not difficult."
While on the way, Xiaodoubao was not in the carriage, so she had to teach the maids to use their brains more.
The only son of the An family likes Hualou because he is fascinated by Yingying and Yanyan, or he is looking for a confidante.
In the flower house, there are not many women who are not selling themselves. What Huaniang wants is to take advantage of her good age to make a fortune, so as to save some protection when she gets old and frail.
Li Haitang doesn't believe that there is any true love, it's all just to cheat money and make a living. Now that Mrs. Wang came to her, as Li Haitang's client, she should do her best to come up with a bad idea that can almost be done once and for all.
