Chapter 89 Women’s War! (Third update! There should be a fourth update)
You can use Zhang Heng's donkey cart to go to Qiqiao Market, but it is not appropriate to attend the shopping mall opening ceremony outside Donghua Gate, but Zeng Youwei chose to ride Zhang Heng's donkey cart.
Zhang Heng didn't quite understand it, but he didn't care much about it, so he agreed.
Mrs. Zeng who was sending them out couldn't help but smile when she saw them leaving in a donkey cart: "This girl really has a beautiful heart! ... Just like me!"
Mrs. Zeng hummed a tune and turned around to go back to her house. Her steps were brisk, as light as a girl's.
She looked at Zeng Youwei, probably thinking of her own grace when she was young and captured Zeng Gongliang, a high-spirited young man.
Zhang Heng sat at the front of the car, holding a small leather whip, driving the little female donkey to pull the car forward. Zeng Youwei used the excuse of the heat in the car to lift the half-drawn car curtain, leaned against the car door and whispered to Zhang Heng.
A handsome young man drove a donkey cart, and on the donkey cart sat a beautifully dressed young lady, swaggering through the market, immediately attracting a lot of attention.
Men envy handsome young men, while women despise shameless little ladies.
Zeng Youwei had a sly look in her eyes, and she began to whisper more and more softly, and from time to time she would mention Zhang Heng to wipe the fine sweat on her neck.
To passers-by, they clearly looked like a newlywed couple.
Outside Donghua Gate.
A majestic building with red skin and green hangings, and a huge signboard covered with red cloth.
Many flower baskets were arranged in an orderly manner at the door, and many people gathered at the door.
A stage was set up in a huge square, with a band playing cheerful music on it.
If you listen carefully, you will see that it is the Magpie Bridge Immortal written by Zhang Heng.
There were many carriages parked at the entrance, but Zhang Heng didn't want to join in the fun, so he drove the donkey cart to the open space on the opposite side and parked it.
He jumped down lightly, then turned around and reached out to catch Zeng Youwei's little hand.
Zeng Youwei carefully held up the hem of her skirt, leaned on Zhang Heng's shoulder, leaned half of her body on it, and let Zhang Heng hug her down.
There are two women standing on the steps in the distance, one is heroic and the other is gentle.
The gentle woman grasped the hand of the woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes tightly, with such strength that the woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes even frowned.
The two people were Lu Yining and Chang Da.
Lu Yining smiled and said, "Do you know who that little lady is?"
Chang Da bit her lip and shook her head.
Lu Yining said: "That is the apple of Master Zeng's eye. Master Zeng gave birth to three sons, but he only had one daughter, and she was her."
Chang Da hummed and said, "What's her name?"
"Zeng Youwei...hehe, she knows we are looking at her. This is declaring war on you."
Chang Da suddenly turned her head and looked into the distance. The young lady sitting on Zhang Heng smiled slightly in their direction.
Chang Da gritted her teeth and said, "This little girl has such deep thoughts!"
Lu Yining shook his head and said: "Sister, you'd better admit defeat, you can't fight."
Chang Da gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe I can't compete with a girl film, I won't give up."
Lu Yining sighed and said, "My father is Zhang Heng's teacher, and Zhang Heng's future career will depend on his teacher.
On this point alone, you can't fight. But this girl is very vigilant. Since she came to demonstrate so early, I guess she probably knows about your existence."
Chang Da had a look of disbelief on her face: "No way, even though I like Saburo, it doesn't matter."
Lu Yining smiled and said: "You must have known about your trip to the Imperial Academy. This little girl is very protective of food, which is interesting.
Sister, if you want to compete with this little girl, you must not be careless. When you went to Taixue, she was aware of your threat. This little girl is very capable of seeing the subtleties."
Chang Da's face became serious.
But Zhang Heng helped Zeng Youwei out of the donkey cart, first tied the little female donkey to the hitching post, and then unloaded the cart.
He handed the caregiver some money, ordered him to feed some water, add some fodder, and stroked the little female donkey.
Then he and Zeng Youwei headed towards the shopping mall.
When they got near the shopping mall, Lu Yining and Chang Da had already greeted them.
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "You guys came early enough. I thought we were already early, but I didn't expect you to be even earlier."
Lu Yining and Chang Da smiled.
Zhang Heng introduced them to them: "This is Zeng Youwei, Youwei, the beloved daughter of the master. This is Lu Yining, the shopkeeper of Lu Da in Neizangku. This is Chang Da, the beloved daughter of Chang Dong's family in Fanlou."
Zeng Youwei was blessed and said with a smile: "I have met Sister Lu and Sister Chang, and Brother Sanlang often talks about you.
It is often said that the boss of Lu Da is unparalleled in his domineering attitude. He is in charge of a huge internal warehouse, and no one is dissatisfied;
Sister Chang Da is naturally intelligent and has a deep understanding of business circles. If given the chance, she will definitely become the female goddess of wealth in the Song Dynasty.
Youwei is envious of her two older sisters. Youwei's parents are very strict and she can only stay in the house every day. She can't do anything but work as a female celebrity. It's really boring."
There was nothing wrong with Zhang Heng's words, but Chang Da's expression changed slightly.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with these words, but if you look deeper, there is a mystery in every word.
The status of women in the Song Dynasty is not low, but the standards for men to choose wives are still inseparable from the three obediences and four virtues. To say that a woman is domineering and unparalleled is to say that she is not a good match. And to say that a woman is particularly good at businessmanship, in the Song Dynasty
In this light business environment, it is not a very good evaluation.
When talking about myself, although I am talking about being restricted to be a female celebrity, in fact this is what official ladies do most often, and this can be regarded as a kind of demonstration.
Lu Yining was big-hearted and didn't feel anything about it, but Chang Da was already inferior to her own background, and Zeng Youwei's words stung her self-esteem.
Lu Yining smiled and said: "If sister Youwei likes it, you can come to the inner storage warehouse often. With me, you can also learn some skills in managing the industry."
Zeng Youwei smiled shyly: "My parents don't let me run around, and these family kindnesses are also taught to me. I also learned to manage the family property with my mother, so I know a little bit about it."
Chang Da felt uncomfortable hearing this.
What Zeng Youwei said is not simple. What she means is that not only do I know how to do business, but I also participate in management. In the future, I will be like my mother and help Brother Sanlang run the family business.
This is a declaration of sovereignty.
Lu Yining knew about Chang Da. If it were normal times, Chang Da would probably refute, but today she kept silent. Lu Yining sighed inwardly:
It's not that Chang Da is low-level, it's actually that this little lady Zeng Youwei is of a high rank. She shows off her advantages in every sentence, making Chang Da unable to say a word.
But there is no way around it. Sister Chang was born with a flaw, and she can't help it even if she wants to be harsh.
Lu Yining didn't want to embarrass Chang Da, so she quickly used the excuse that the ceremony was about to begin and took them with her.
Zhang Heng declined and said: "I took Youwei to go shopping inside and see the layout of the mall. I didn't show up at the store opening ceremony. It's not suitable."
Lu Yining understood that Zeng Youwei represented Zeng Gongliang and it was not easy to show his face. Zhang Heng was about to take part in the imperial examination. It was best not to get involved in such things and just come over and have a look.
Zhang Heng took Zeng Youwei and walked into the shopping mall.
Zhang Heng looked as if nothing had happened, but he was also amazed in his heart.
He didn't notice anything at first, but if he didn't notice something was wrong in the atmosphere later on, then Zhang Heng would stop messing around.
The conversation between Zeng Youwei and Lu Yining, as well as the silent Chang Da, made Zhang Heng keenly aware of the quarrel inside.
Zhang Heng is a very keen person and is also very good at review. He pushed forward and could roughly deduce the true nature of the matter. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that the war between women was really terrible.
Zhang Heng regretted bringing Zeng Youwei over.
But even with Zeng Youwei's arrival, he realized belatedly that she had been arranged by Zeng Youwei.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but look at the little girl Zeng Youwei with admiration.
She is only thirteen years old, right?
It’s really amazing!
However, Zhang Heng was not afraid of Zeng Youwei's calculations, but instead had a lot of affection for the little girl.
He could deduce all of Zeng Youwei's manipulations, but he did not feel that Zeng Youwei was in danger.
Zhang Heng has always believed that to marry a virtuous wife.
What is virtuous is not just being obedient, nor being gentle, diligent and thrifty is virtuous.
Virtue is not only moral character, but also talent.
Character alone is not virtuous, and talent alone is not virtuous.
Although Zeng Youwei played a game of fighting for a husband... well, it was a game of fighting for a husband. Although she played a game, it was only to intimidate, demonstrate, and declare sovereignty, but did not use other means to harm others, which shows that Zeng Youwei did not have a bad heart.
People have the ability to protect their own things, which is not bad.
Zeng Youwei acted aggressively today, but she just wanted Chang Da to retreat in spite of the difficulties. This is not considered bad, it can only be called scheming.
Zhang Heng suspected that Zeng Youwei knew about Zeng Gongliang's suggestion to take Chang Da as his concubine, so Zeng Youwei came to warn Chang Da.
Hmm...it may not mean that I am not warning myself.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh.
Zeng Youwei said in surprise: "Brother Sanlang, what are you laughing at?"
