Chapter 375 Opening a Store in Beijing (7)
Duke Anguo took out a house deed and gave it to Du and his wife, saying that it was a dowry for Du. The house on the deed was located in Maoer Hutong, a two-story storefront shop, and was very valuable, which shocked Caiwei's family.
Mrs. Wang rewarded them with two pieces of satin, two pieces of gauze, four quilts, and four pieces of headwear. She also ordered Wen'er and Wu'er to go to the private school in the mansion from tomorrow to study, and asked them to temporarily live in Changchun Garden with Mei.
Duke Anguo's mansion was kind and generous to Caiwei's family. If it weren't for her mother being forced into marriage and betrayed, and her grandmother being abused and beaten, Caiwei would have been almost moved by this earnest family affection.
However, the incident with her mother and grandmother was enough to make her realize their true nature. The reason why they were so considerate and polite to their family must be that they had some hidden tricks, otherwise they would never treat them like this.
What hidden tricks could it be?
Caiwei is very curious, but not afraid of you. You dare to abuse her grandmother and plot against their family. The prosperity of the Duke of Anguo Mansion for a hundred years is over!
During the meal, Caiwei and Caifei were arranged to sit at the girls' table. Du Wanqiu, Du Wanying, Du Wanyue and Du Wanru were on the table, as well as the five concubines from the first and third rooms. However, those concubines were all timid. Although they were at the same table with their sisters, they were like puppets, watching their eyes and noses, watching their hearts, and dared not move or say a word. It can be seen that the rules for concubines in the Duke of Anguo Mansion are extremely strict.
When Caiwei saw the fearful look of these concubines, she couldn't help but think of the scene when her mother lived here. She couldn't help but feel a little distressed and couldn't help but care for these concubines.
"Sister Caiwei, eat it. This is the fragrant pig tributed by Silla. It tastes really good. My aunt sent someone to deliver it early in the morning. Come and try it!"
Du Wanqiu picked up a piece of fragrant pork and put it on the small plate in front of Caiwei, smiling and showing goodwill to Caiwei.
Half an hour ago, she had made up her mind to get to know Mr. Huo through this little bitch, get familiar with him, and then let him gradually understand her, slowly develop feelings for her, and fall in love with her.
Although this is a tortuous and difficult process, it is the best way she can think of.
She can tolerate Ruizhu marrying His Royal Highness the King of Qin, because she is not as good as her, but she absolutely cannot tolerate this illegitimate country woman taking away her ideal marriage partner.
Why does she do that? It's just that she has a skin that is slightly better than others. What's so great about it? Sooner or later, she will let Mr. Huo see her goodness, which is far better than that bitch's skin.
Now, since Mr. Huo likes her, she will condescend to befriend her. As long as they are on good terms, she will naturally have many opportunities to meet Mr. Huo.
As the saying goes: A man chasing a woman is like a mountain, and a woman chasing a man is like a layer of gauze. Although she is not as charming as this cheap woman, she is of noble birth and has the grace and elegance of a daughter of a wealthy family. She firmly believes that as long as Mr. Huo understands her, he will definitely feel that she is more suitable to be the mistress of the Huo family than that cheap woman.
Caiwei picked up the piece of meat and casually put it on the plate of a little concubine. Caiwei has been observing the little concubine for a long time. She looks only seven or eight years old. She sits there timidly, not daring to say a word, not daring to look at everyone, and only dares to pick up the dish in front of her. It's very pitiful.
"Thank you for your care, elder sister, but I am afraid of getting fat and rarely eat meat. I see that this sister is very thin, so why not let this sister accept my sister's kindness for me!"
