Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 444 Routines
The four of them entered the prefect's house chatting and laughing.

Arriving at the hall, Magistrate Ye, who was also wearing a dark red robe and a happy face, glanced at the person who entered the door. He quickly greeted the guests who were talking next to him and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, in-laws."

Their family originally intended to marry the third wife of the Wang family, but the misfortune of Wang Tong and his wife left Wang Haitang alone, and there were so many bad relatives, which made them pity Wang Haitang even more.So as soon as the Luo family sent someone to send a letter to discuss, they nodded and expressed their willingness to get married and took Wang Haitang to the Ye family to take care of her in advance.As for the Wang family's commotion, the Ye and Luo families were not worried, but they were just some shameless scoundrels, and the Luo family got rid of them once and for all.I feel bad for Wang Tong when I talk about it. His cruel parents secretly arranged for Wang Haitang to live with a rich man who was older than Wang Tong. They only wanted a gift of 2 taels of silver, and they decided after agreeing on the filial piety period. Arrange the marriage and get married as soon as possible without any dowry.

I thought that the Wang family would at least be more peaceful in a short period of time, but unexpectedly, a few days ago, the Luo family suddenly sent news that someone was secretly manipulating the Wang family, and there would probably be trouble today.He also felt strange, what were those people doing?The legendary Taoyuan?
He has never asked the Luo family about Taoyuan Realm.As we all know, Luo Dayou has many friends in the world. For example, Mr. Wuwei beside him at this moment is said to be a guard, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is an old friend.

If it was true as rumored that the Luo family recognized Wang Haitang as their goddaughter because of the Taoyuan Realm, he wouldn't find it strange. Anyway, it only had benefits and no harm to his Ye family, so why did he need to inquire so much?No, if it's a little troublesome, the Luo family will take care of it first, without him having to take action.

"Why do you have to work hard at home?" Luo Dayou waved his hand, "Although Haitang is my goddaughter, she is destined to our old couple, and there is no difference between her and my daughter. Come on, come on, let's talk about the golden marriage just now. Descendants? This is little brother Qi Mubai Qi."

"I guessed it," Magistrate Ye said with a smile, "Nishang Residence has almost become the signature of Nanhai. It's a pity that I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Qi today. Hahaha, welcome."

"The Qi family and Nichangju are under the care of Lord Ye," Zhiruo said politely, "Mubai should have come to visit earlier, but he was away for a long time. Please forgive me, Lord Ye."

"You're welcome, you're polite," Magistrate Ye said frankly, "Why do you care or not? Nishangju is a big tax banker in our Nanhai. If I don't control it, wouldn't it be at odds with my own political achievements? As the parent official of Nanhai, I I hope that the Qi family’s business will develop quickly and well, and then drive the economy of the entire South China Sea and even Da Ying. We local officials will also have face, right? We will be less scolded when we return to Beijing to report on our work, hahahaha.”

"We also need to have parents and officials like Mr. Ye who are loyal to the king and love the people, so that businesses like us can develop well," Zhiruocheng said sincerely. From ancient times to the present, local officials have known that political achievements are inseparable from economic development and business support, but there is insufficient support from the people. , not all officials can truly serve the country and the people. Many of them want both political performance and wealth. When they become concubines, they also have to erect memorial arches. Shouldn't they try their best to squeeze businessmen?Therefore, it was not easy to be a businessman in ancient times, and their status was usually low.Fortunately, Da Ying still attaches great importance to commercial development, and the status of businessmen is relatively high, especially the super large businessmen like the Luo family and the Tian family who can almost influence the entire Da Ying economy. Even the officials have to fawn over them.

"This is a true statement, and I understand it deeply." Luo Dayou said with emotion, "Come on, let's go to the small flower hall over there and sit and talk. I like the glazed screen with the Aomei picture the most. Drinking tea and chatting under that screen feels a bit like being in a plum forest, as if you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms."

"Let's go, who doesn't know that Mr. Luo loves plum blossoms the most. He has collected not only a thousand but also eight hundred high-quality plum blossom pictures. It is rare for my screen to catch your eyes." The small flower hall is elegant and quiet, leaving The courtyard where the banquet was held was close to the hall here. If there was anything going on, it was easy to go back and forth. Naturally, Magistrate Ye had no problem with it and led a few people there.

Zhiruo's eyebrows moved and he said with a smile: "Well, I also like plum blossoms. Along the way, I heard that the plum grove at Plum Village in Luocheng is very famous, and that Plum Village originally belonged to Robert's father."

Luo Dayou nodded proudly: "Indeed, I specifically asked people to look at the Feng Shui back then. That land is most suitable for growing plum blossoms. People raise plum blossoms, and plum blossoms raise people. Many of my other Zhuangzi courtyards also have plum groves, but none of them have them. The plum grove in Plum Village in Luocheng has charm." "Oh?" Zhiruo asked curiously, "Then, Father Rob, why are you willing to sell it?" For a person like Luo Dayou, if he said that he sold Plum Village for money , Zhiruo would never believe it, let alone knowing that he loves Mei so much today.

Luo Dayou laughed and said: "You don't have to own it if you like it. I didn't have enough time to go there, and I really failed to live up to the beauty of that piece of plum forest. Wouldn't it be better to find a more suitable owner for it?" He was very glad that he gave up his beloved general. Meizhuang was sold to Princess Qianxin. He was not short of money, but he respected the character of General Yin and Princess Qianxin.

Nowadays, when the world talks about Meizhuang in Luocheng, they think of Miss Yin, who is smart, capable, generous and kind, and who firmly supports her younger brothers and sisters in times of crisis. This makes him feel proud and honored.Miss Yin’s beautiful character perfectly embodies the noble and tenacious character of plum blossoms, and proves what Mr. Feng Shui said: “Plum blossoms nourish people, and people nourish plum blossoms.”

Isn't this nonsense... uh... cliché?Zhiruo curled his lips secretly, saying it was the same as not saying it.

Liang Dashan was secretly amused. What else could he do if he didn't use clichés?Even if there is any special reason, Luo Dayou can still tell everyone?

The small flower hall is not big, but it is just right for four or five people to drink tea and talk.As soon as he entered the door, Zhiruo saw the glazed screen that Luo Dayou was talking about. The transparent glazed screen had a lifelike plum forest picture, and there were even two smart magpies on the branches. Both the painter and the glazed production process were outstanding. It's amazing. No wonder Luo Dayou, who has seen many Meilin pictures, is full of praise.

The five guests of honor sat down politely, and the maid brought tea.Luo Dayou, who was discussing the Meilin picture with Zhiruo, suddenly raised his head: "Miss Luju, why is it you? Didn't you go to find your brother and sister-in-law?"

The woman who was pouring tea whispered softly: "Isn't the house busy today? I just wanted to help first and repay the kindness of Mr. Luo and Mr. Ye. Luju has no ability or strength, but she knows a lot about the tea ceremony. Second, just take care of the little flower hall for Sister Lan Ping, so that Sister Lan Ping can go to the front hall to help."

The woman raised her head after pouring five cups of tea. She had fair skin, big eyes and a small mouth, which made her look cute and well-behaved. Her pair of small dimples added to her sweetness, which made people like her just by looking at her.

　I just came back and will definitely finish it in the next two days.
