Chapter 149: Odd Woman

The doctor arrived soon, helped Li Mu pull out the dagger, put on the golden sore medicine, and bandaged Li Chongyi. In fact, Li Mu was not seriously injured, and the water snake's waist was far away, and he threw it out in a hurry, less than an inch of the flesh, but the position of the injury was awkward. If he was a little more, Li Mu would probably join the 'Chrysanthemum Explosion Team'.

"Change the dressing regularly every day and you will be cured in three or five days."

The doctor left a sufficient amount of gold aches, the woman gave her medical treatment, and gave her a reward of a lifetime, and left happily. Li Mu also learned about the woman's situation from Cheng Yaojin's mouth. The woman was indeed the wife of Cheng Yaojin's brother-in-law. She was from the Wang family in Taiyuan and was named Wang Ou.

Cheng Yaojin's wife Cui is the eldest daughter of Cui in Qinghe. The woman's husband is the eldest son of Cui in Qinghe. The two families of King Cui had a marriage agreement. Each generation must marry a daughter, so this woman has been the daughter-in-law of Cui in Qinghe since she was born.

The eldest son of the Cui family, Fu Bo, was a sick man since he was a child. The Cui family was worried that the Wang family would regret the marriage, so they kept hiding the condition of the Cui family's eldest son. Until he was seventeen years old, he really couldn't stand it anymore. The people valued "joy joy", so they started to organize the marriage between the two. Wang Ou, who knew nothing, married the Cui family's eldest son, but within three days of marriage, the Cui family died of illness. The Wang family accused the Cui family of concealment, and the Cui family accused the Wang family of their daughter of killing their husbands, and the two families almost started to fight because of this.

Later, Wang Gui made adjustments from it. Wang Gui was Wang Ou's uncle. At that time, Wang Gui was still in the prince's mansion, but he was already an important figure in the court of a family. When he came to adjust, the Cui family had to give him face. The result of the adjustment was that since the Wang family's daughter had been married, the water splashed by the married daughter, he became a member of the Cui family since then. The Cui family had been beaten up, but he could remarry other sons of the Cui family, and the two families were in-laws. Naturally, the Cui family had no dissatisfaction, especially the sons of the Cui family, who were even more excited. Wang Ou was a descendant of a famous family and had a good reputation. According to legend, he was the number one beauty in Taiyuan, and it was even more rare to be known for both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Who wouldn't want to marry such a wife?

Although it was a second marriage, the Cui family knew that the eldest son was a sick man and he disappeared after three days of marriage. He couldn't do anything, and Wang Ou was still the eldest girl. Moreover, in this era, remarrying and remarrying is not embarrassing, and no one would care.

A result that both parties could accept was opposed by Wang Ou himself. She said that marrying the eldest son of the Cui family was the obligation of being a daughter of the Wang family. She fulfilled this obligation but was shamelessly deceived. She wanted to marry her to other sons of the Cui family again, and she would never be insulted again. She would rather die than agree. The Wang family was already owed to Wang Ou and could not bear to force him. The Cui family was annoyed and said that since Wang Ou did not agree to remarry, then be a widow in the Cui family!

Wang Ou is also a very unique woman. She immediately agreed and asked the Cui family to give her the property of her eldest son and the Cui family also gave her. But she only gave her three shops and seventy acres of land, which was like a drop in the bucket for the Cui family. Because if the eldest son is alive, the eldest son and the first son and the first house will inherit the family business. Even if she does not inherit, the property she has allocated will be at least ten times that.

Wang Ou did not argue, but accepted the arrangement. What no one expected was that she had earned ten times the wealth in just two years with three shops, seventy acres of land and a few dowry maids brought by her parents.

In contrast, the other sons of the Cui family were all unworthy, and none of them could bear the responsibility. Later, they rushed Cheng Yaojin's wife to visit her. In addition, the relationship between Wang Ou and the Cui family gradually eased, and the Cui family also asked her to help in the agency. Until three years ago, the Cui family had already handled seven CDs in the business transactions.

This situation has caused concern among the elders of the Cui family. Some people believe that Wang Ou was originally a daughter of the Wang family, but she hated the Cui family because of her marriage. It is really unsafe to have the business of the Cui family in her hands. Moreover, the business of the Cui family has more than doubled in Wang Ou's hands, and some people can't help but want to pick the fruits.

Wang Ou said nothing, and returned all the transactions of the Cui family. The accounts were clear and there was no greed for a penny of profit. Cheng Yaojin's wife also felt ashamed of Wang Ou because of this incident and did not dare to meet her on his own initiative. The relationship between the two has since become distant.

Wang Ou also drew a clear line with the Cui family because of this. He sold all the transactions in Qinghe, and moved the main body to Luoyang. Now he mainly engaged in silk, spices, tea and other businesses. There are shops in Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and other "Five Capitals". No one knows how big the business can be. But no one dares to underestimate her. When Li Shimin just ascended the throne, the Yellow River was flooded, and the treasury could not provide enough money to provide disaster relief. Wang Ou donated 100,000 guan and lent 100,000 guan to the court to help Li Shimin overcome difficulties. Li Shimin gave her a first-class imperial edict, which made her famous all over the world.

It is not a secret that the people, nobles and aristocratic families in Chang'an know these deeds. Only the local buns like Li Mu who come from the border town of the Western Regions do not know.

After hearing this, Li Mu sincerely admired Wang Ou. You should know that Wang Ou is not like him, with a system in her body and a little golden finger. She is a native of the Tang Dynasty. She died and was suppressed by her husband's family. She is all based on her intelligence and talent. The so-called strong women in later generations are nothing more than this.

"What are you talking about? Are you talking about slaves?"

Wang Ou's voice came, she had sent the doctor and the government to return to the store.

"Li Mu asked, I only said a few words, but I didn't talk about anything."

Li Mu found that Cheng Yaojin seemed to be a little afraid of this sister-in-law. He was both curious and funny. Is there anyone who was afraid of Cheng Demon King who was not afraid of heaven and earth?

Wang Ou smiled softly and said, "It's nothing to talk about, and I'm not afraid of anyone knowing. The Marquis must recover soon. When the injury is healed in the future, I'll ask for poetry and prose."

"I am ashamed of asking for advice. I am doing my poems in a straightforward manner. It is caused by inspiration. When the inspiration is not coming, I cannot write it."

Wang Ou's eyebrows and eyes froze and said, "When will the Marquis have inspiration?"

"Uh..." Li Mu thought for a while and said, "When quarreling with someone."

Wang Ou giggled. Cheng Yaojin seemed not to want Li Mu and Wang Ou to have too much interaction, and said, "That... it's getting late, and the gate will be closed later. I'll find you a ox cart. You lie on the cart, and I'll send a team of people to take you home."

"good."

Wang Ou looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "I have been here in Chang'an for a few days. I have been busy with business matters and have not visited my sister. I have to worry about my brother-in-law and say, I will prepare gifts tomorrow and visit my house."
