    When Wen Mingyun returned to his yard, Wei Daopo had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her come back, she immediately put down the tea in her hand, got up and saluted her.

    "Wei Kundao, please sit down." Wen Mingyun nodded, pointing to the chair opposite for her to sit.

    Wei Daopo smiled at her and sat down, but she didn't sit as firmly as before, but only touched half of her buttocks.

    The interaction between the two was obviously very different from that in the old lady's yard before. Now Wen Mingyun is respected, but Wei Daopo is very reserved, as if waiting for her to speak.

    "What did Wei Kundao say to grandma today?" Wen Mingyun asked softly after drinking half a cup of tea.

    Wei Daopo hurriedly replied: "Everything is according to the third girl's wishes. The old man told the old lady that the girl is a little too weak now, so she has to go to the Zhuangzi outside to take shelter and come back when her health is better, otherwise she is just afraid of good luck."Bad luck. And that Zhuangzi is best surrounded by mountains and rivers, quiet and comfortable, suitable for sick people to take care of their bodies."

    The corners of Wen Mingyun's mouth raised slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

    I'm afraid the old lady can't believe it even if she is beaten to death. The Wei Daopo she has always relied on is actually Wen Mingyun's person.

    Wen Mingyun was reborn in ancient times, and suffered from hemorrhage and dystocia from birth, almost belching directly, those Marysu daydreams were completely shattered.

    She becomes quite realistic.

    In this ancient time with strict etiquette and backward technology, it is actually much more difficult to live well than it is in modern times.

    A little illness can kill someone, not to mention that she is still the third girl in the Wen family. The old lady, the eldest elder, doesn't like her very much. Once she is indifferent to killing her, she will definitely die quietly.The sound is still dead without evidence.

    The old lady is a lesson from the past. The old lady is cruel and resourceful. This kind of person is the most difficult.

    In order to prevent his premature death, Wen Mingyun has tried his best since he was a child.

    Anyway, she couldn't get out of the courtyard in ancient times. She huddled in her own courtyard, thinking about how to improve the quality of life every day.

    Since the old lady has become an unstable factor, and she can't kill the old lady, she can only find a way to control her.

    The best way, of course, is to start from the old lady's weakness.

    Wei Daopo was just a fledgling at that time, and she was just trying to break into the circle of noble ladies, and she had been to Wen's house several times, but Wei Daopo's methods were not good enough, and her calculations were not accurate.

    "Wei Kundao has worked hard." Wen Mingyun nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand slightly, and Hong Feng immediately handed over the purse.

    "You can't make it, this is what the old man should do. The third girl works hard for the old man, I should be the one who respects you." Wei Daopo hurriedly waved her hands and refused, not daring to take it.

    Wen Mingyun forcefully stuffed it into her hand: "One size counts for one size. Besides, I didn't help Kun Dao much. You rely on your own ability to eat everything."

    Wei Daopo didn't dare to refuse any more, she stuffed the purse into her sleeve, she could feel it without opening it, it must be a large denomination bank note.

    This third girl from the Wen family is not only smart, but also quite generous.

    Wei Daopo sincerely surrendered to her, and she didn't dare to have any wrong thoughts. After all, Wen San's ability to coax old monsters like the old lady into a circle is definitely more than a little bit.

    "Third Miss, Mrs. Cheng Guogong's Shizi invited me over a few days ago. She wanted to find a continuation for her nephew. She also brought her nephew's birth date, and asked me to figure out which girl is suitable for him."Wei Daopo rubbed her hands and tentatively mentioned it.

    Wen Mingyun raised his eyebrows: "You are not a matchmaker, she obviously found the wrong person."

    Wei Daopo nodded immediately, and echoed her words: "I said the same thing, but Mrs. Cheng Shizi is really enthusiastic, and I really can't shirk it. I want the third girl to give me an idea. What is Mrs. Cheng Shizi's intention?"

    Wen Mingyun sneered, saying what he said was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't refuse. It was because the Cheng family gave too much money, and Wei Daopo's eyes were wide open when she saw the money.

    However, if this Daoist woman was upright, she would not have been able to bribe her in the first place, so that Daoist Wei would turn around and lie to the old lady.

    "The nephew Mrs. Cheng is talking about is probably not the nephew of her mother's family, but Cheng Tingyu, the eldest son of Cheng Guogong's mansion. Is that right?" Wen Mingyun asked.

    Wei Daopo nodded: "It's that old man. His previous wife passed away with dystocia, leaving behind a son who is fourteen years old this year. He is said to be very naughty. He is a well-known devil king. The old man has never remarried before., now that my son is grown up, even if the stepmother enters the house, it will not affect him, so I want to marry again. She also said that she wants a girl with a gentle personality, for the sake of the family and everything in the future—"

    Wen Mingyun interrupted her: "Cheng Tingyu said it himself?"

    "No, it was all relayed by Mrs. Cheng Shizi. Even if I am a monk, I can't deal with Uncle Cheng."

    "Mrs. Cheng Shizi is lying. Cheng Tingyu's father originally belonged to Cheng Tingyu's position, but he died before the old Duke. The old Duke originally preferred Cheng Tingyu, after all, the eldest grandson of the first house, but the second room took it over forcefully.The family hasn't separated until now, the two families live under the same roof, so it's no wonder they can live in peace. If the old Duke doesn't close his eyes and give way, the Cheng family's second wife will feel uneasy all day. There have been a lot of jokes in these years."

    "It's clearly a deadly enemy who is flying like a dog, how can he be kind enough to find a sequel for his nephew? It looks like he's trying to play tricks."

    Wen Mingyun knew something about the back houses of the major families in Wangjing.

    Even if she is determined not to marry, the situation is stronger than others, so she is afraid of what happens.

    She will always prepare herself for a retreat in advance, and once she can't hide even if she pretends to be sick, then she has to implement plan B and find someone who is safe in her eyes to marry.

    That's why she has a thorough understanding of all the major families in Wangjing, and only by knowing herself and the enemy can she be victorious in all battles.

    "The Cheng family's water is very deep. I advise you not to dip into this muddy water, lest you lose your life and spend your money." Wen Mingyun's tone was serious, with a hint of warning.

    It's not that she has bad intentions, but that she has been very happy to cooperate with Wei Daopo these years. If Wei Daopo suffers, she will have to find someone to fool the old lady again, which is very troublesome.

    Wei Daopo was instantly lost, but she still refused to give up, the reconciliation was visible to the naked eye.

    "Third Miss, it shouldn't be so serious. According to what you said, the Cheng family is fighting with each other, but the position of the son still falls to the second wife. I helped the wife of the son, which is also the icing on the cake. How could it be life-threatening? JustIt's just talking about marriage, it's not doing something utterly unconscionable."

    Wen Mingyun looked up at her, and continued: "Half a month ago, Mrs. Cheng Shizi's distant niece was taken into the Duke's Mansion for a short stay. If there is no accident, you will go to the Duke's Mansion next time, Mrs. ShiziI will give the woman's date of birth, and let you calculate her marriage with Cheng Tingyu."

    Wei Daopo's eyes widened in vain, her face full of shock.

    When she went to Cheng Guogong's mansion, she did meet that lady by chance, but Mrs. Cheng Shizi didn't mention it at all, and she never thought of it.

    But Wen Mingyun has never seen anyone, and because of his illness, he seldom goes out. How did she know such details, and even think so thoroughly?

    "I've seen that cousin girl, she looks gentle and kind, and she looks very pretty. Is there something wrong with her?" Wei Daopo asked.

    "At least on the surface, she's fine. Mrs. Cheng Shizi is a little smart, and it's impossible for people to catch the obvious. But just one thing, this cousin girl came from the second room, which is enough for Cheng Tingyu to get bored with her. When ChengMrs. Shizi used your words to insist that the two of them are a match, a match made in heaven, and you think the Cheng family can let you go?" Wen Mingyun asked back, his tone quite powerful.

    Wei Daopo was silent, frowning, obviously still reluctant to part with the money.

    But Wen Mingyun's prestige was quite deep, she was apprehensive towards this Miss Wen San from the bottom of her heart, and when she met Wen Mingyun's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she immediately shuddered.

    "Third Miss is right, next time Mrs. Shizi invites me again, she will refuse all of them."

    Wen Mingyun nodded in satisfaction and poured her a cup of tea himself.

    Wei Daopo held the teacup and took a sip, feeling the sweetness of the tea immediately, and she was very happy.

    Sure enough, if you listen to the third girl's words, you won't be killed, and you can still have tea.

    Wen Mingyun's strategy of slapping a sweet date is very effective.

    Wei Daopo consulted a few more things before getting up and leaving.

    Although she looks like a Taoist nun, she has no fortune-telling skills at all, and most of them rely on tricks and abductions. If you want to deceive well, of course you must understand the situation of each family and the real intention of the employer.

    Wen Mingyun not only understands these things very well, but can also help her sort out the clues, analyze the situation, and seize opportunities, so Wei Daopo can't do without her at all.

    Also in order to become bigger and stronger, Wen Mingyun warned her from the very beginning that there is a way to steal, and the same is true for liars.

    Only do good things that are icing on the cake, and never involve bad things that make things worse, or you will overturn sooner or later.

    Wen Mingyun really rode in a carriage and left Wen's mansion openly.

    Because of Mrs. Wen's support, even if Chen Jie wanted to stop her, it would have no effect at all, and she could only watch her leave.

    Wen Bohan was on duty at night and went back home. When he learned about this, he was naturally furious, but there was nothing he could do.

    Wen Mingyun sat in the hot spring pool, washing away his fatigue.

    After she came to the hot spring village, she had all the personal deeds of serving in her hands, and there were no elders watching over her. She relaxed a lot, but she had gained a few pounds after living here for only a few days, and she really felt relieved.Fat.

    "Miss, master wrote you a letter again." Hong Feng came over holding the letter in both hands.

    Wen Mingyun frowned, and couldn't help complaining: "I've already run out, dad still doesn't give up!"

    Wen Mingyun ran away, and Wen Bohan was obviously very angry. Even if others didn't come, he wrote letters almost every day, and he was more diligent than writing memorials.

    Of course, in the previous letters, he was in a fit of anger and had to scold a few words, but the tone of today's letter was a lot more relaxed, and even let her rest at the hot spring village without rushing back home.

    "Could it be that the old man was confused by my anger? He even changed his sex."

    Wen Mingyun couldn't believe it. He checked the letter over and over again, and even put the letter in the water to pass through it, fearing that there might be some mechanism inside.

    "Girl, the second girl is here to see you." The little maid came to announce.

    "Why is Second Sister here?" She also ignored the letter, threw it to Hong Feng, and immediately got up to get dressed.

    "Second sister, can you go out now?" Wen Mingyun quickly packed up and came out.

    Wen Mingxia was sitting on a chair, and there were various fruits on the table, and she was eating with relish.

    "Of course I can go out. I've already settled down." Wen Mingxia nodded.

    "Your mother-in-law has nothing to say? What if she knocks her precious grandson upside down?" Wen Mingyun pouted.

    "She said no, and I didn't listen to her. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, which is good for raising babies. Last year, I also bought a Zhuangzi nearby, but it's not as big as yours."

    "You want to live here for a long time? That's great. Don't go back tonight, just sleep here. After you and your eldest sister get married, it will be difficult for us sisters to get together." Wen Mingyun clapped his hands excitedly.

    Wen Mingxia was a little hesitant, and waved her hand and said, "Next time, I'm going to hold a flowing water banquet at Zhuangzi in a few days, and I'm busy. Here, this is a post, so I finally come out, let's have fun together then!""

    She put down an invitation card, Wen Mingyun took it, and was a little curious: "This is not a year, why do you want to hold a water banquet? Besides, you are pregnant, even if you have a stable pregnancy, you shouldn't bother."

    Wen Mingxia's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. She took a piece of melon and stuffed it into her mouth, and said indifferently: "I was raising a baby some time ago, and I was detained at home.The land boundary is much looser, and most of the banquets are young people, although your brother-in-law also invited friends, but we monopolize the backyard and have nothing to do with them."

    "Okay, I'll go earlier then, and I can help." Wen Mingyun pretended not to notice, and promised with a smile.

    The two sisters didn't say a few words before Wen Mingxia left, coming and going in a hurry.

    Wen Mingyun was sitting on a chair drinking tea, before finishing a cup of tea, Hong Feng came over.

    "Miss, I have inquired about this servant girl and the big maid next to Second Miss. My uncle proposed to hold this running water banquet. The reason is indeed that Second Miss will be bored and wants to make her happy."

    As soon as Hong Feng finished speaking, Wen Mingyun sneered.

    "Fuck him! Now that the imperial examinations for the new Jinshi are coming soon, it doesn't cost much to rent a house in the suburbs of Beijing, so there are many talented people living nearby. It is obvious that he wants to show off his talents and win connections, but he still wants to make his wife happy.As an excuse. Is he still human?"

    "Doesn't it cost money to run a running banquet? Where does he get the money for a poor man? He wants to use his wife's dowry. He touches his lips and doesn't care about anything. He just waits for the banquet. The second sister is in charge of all this. His wife is pregnant.Well, he can do such calculations, never find a phoenix man who eats soft food but hard food, the bad guy, he will definitely join the animal life in his next life!"

    She was so angry that she cursed, and the room fell into a sudden silence, and no one dared to say anything.
