Wen Family Has a Wife

In this way, the ownership of the three Zhuangzi was settled, and Wen Yuanliang chose another Zhuangzi with 500 mu of fertile land, 800 mu of secondary farmland, and a small forest from the ones he had seen before, and asked for a price of 23,000 taels; Wen Yuanhong chose A Zhuangzi next to Wen Yuanliang, with 1,000 acres of fertile land and a small house, cost 20,000 taels; Qi Zixi followed suit and bought a Zhuangzi similar to Wen Yuanhong, spending the same money.

The money has been spent, and the land deeds have been obtained. Now it is just busy farming. Wen Yuanliang first sent the housekeeper to arrange the tenant farmers on the Zhuangzi side, and explained clearly about the spring plowing. He even went to the Zhuangzi to give advice for a few days. Only then did I have the mind to think about buying a shop.

Naturally, we still have to go through this matter with Lao Zhu, and they all say that they are familiar with each other once. They have been in contact with Lao Zhu so many times, and they are already old friends. During this time, Lao Zhu has also earned a lot from them. Because of this, the matter was handled very properly. Wherever there was a good shop, the advantages and disadvantages were explained to Wen Yuanliang and the others in detail, and he patted his chest to promise that he could come forward to bargain for them.

In the end, Wen Yuanliang chose two shops two or three streets away from Zhuque Street. One was not too big, but not too small. He could open a small restaurant. I took it down, and there is another one that is smaller than the first one, which can be used as a grocery store, and it cost twelve thousand taels.

Wen Yuanhong also bought two shops, which were about the same size. After bargaining, they spent a total of 35,000 taels; The space is farther away, not too big and not too small, and it took eighteen thousand taels.

In this way, they can be regarded as wealthy people in the capital.

After completing these matters, everyone was obviously relieved, and their spirits were much better than before.

Wen Yuanliang narrowed his eyes with a smile after Zhuo Qianyu settled the accounts in the room, "Lady, this time we have two Zhuangzi, even the other courtyards are ready-made, and we have two shops. There are dozens of taels of silver in a month, which is enough to meet the daily expenses of the family."

Zhuo Qianyu kept turning the abacus, and when he heard this, he smiled, glanced at him, and said, "I'll do the math now, we had 111,000 taels left before, and this time we spent 40,000 yuan to buy Zhuangzi." One thousand taels, the shop spent 30,000 taels, and the remaining 40,000 taels. This money can no longer be squandered at will, and after a while, the results of Chunwei will come out, maybe there are other places that need money.”

She has to plan ahead. After all, there are so many people in Chunxie this time, but only 600 people can make it to the list. The competition is too fierce. It's all on him alone. When the results of the examination are announced, if Wen Yuanliang doesn't make the list, she will definitely go to find a relationship to see if she can arrange a good job for him, or enter the Imperial College for another three years. Of course, in her private heart, she I hope that Wen Yuanliang will choose the first one, and stop suffering so hard. This time, she will really be frightened by the test.

Wen Yuanliang had no idea that Zhuo Qianyu's mind had been changed in just a short while, and he had already thought about his future, and even began to think about going out for a walk.

"Don't worry, lady, you keep the money well. I won't spend any more money in a short time. As for the small money, I still have a little money." Wen Yuanliang patted his pocket and sighed.

Zhuo Qianyu didn't bother to talk to him.

While speaking, Bai Lian's knock on the door came from outside.

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Qianyu frowned and looked over.

Bai Lian entered the door with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and reported: "Eldest Young Madam, just now the people from the Second Young Madam's side said that the Second Young Madam is happy."

"Hey! This is a great joy! You go pick some supplements, and follow me to the second room to have a look." Zhuo Qianyu collected the account book, got up cheerfully, saw that Wen Yuanliang was still lying on the bed, and immediately went over and dragged him up , "Go! Go out with me to visit relatives!"

Wen Yuanliang's complexion instantly became bitter. After working so hard for so many days, he finally slacked off at home for a long time, and he had to be dragged out to visit relatives.

The problem is that he was only with Wen Yuanhong yesterday, and now it is impossible for him to go to see his second younger siblings there. Apart from staring at Wen Yuanhong, and then drinking a full stomach of tea, what use will he be able to do there?

Amid Wen Yuanhong's self-doubt, he and Zhuo Qianyu arrived at Wen's house in Chu'an Lane. The two houses were very close to each other, and it only took them a while to get here in a carriage.

After entering the door, Zhuo Qianyu immediately went to the inner courtyard to see Hu Yiyun, met Wen Yuanzhen on the way, and immediately forgot about Wen Yuanliang behind him.

Wen Yuanliang touched his nose in embarrassment, and consciously went to Wen Yuanhong's study, where he ran into Qi Zixi without any surprise, and the two looked at each other, suddenly feeling sympathetic.

Wen Yuanhong was very happy. When he entered the door, he saw Wen Yuanliang and Qi Zixi lying on a soft bed reading a book and the other dozing in a rocking chair.

Wen Yuanliang jokingly said: "Second brother, if you pass Chunwei this time, it will be double happiness!"

Wen Yuanhong thought about it for a while, and it really is, and then said: "I don't ask much, as long as I can enter the top three, I will admit it even if I am a fellow Jinshi."

Wen Yuanliang and Qi Zixi saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so they rarely became serious.

"You can think about it, the same Jinshi is like Mrs. Ru, although he is also a Jinshi, but in the future, he will be inferior to the Jinshi when he is promoted. You think it's okay now, but when the time comes, can you still be so indifferent?"

Wen Yuanhong was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, his eyes were firm, and he nodded heavily: "I've already thought about it, even if you are a fellow Jinshi, it's okay, at such an age as my father-in-law, you can only raise people, and uncle and the others even I am not even a scholar. If I can become a fellow Jinshi, it will be regarded as a new height. Naturally, I cannot compare with you, but I am already very satisfied. It will be more comfortable to take Yiyun to other places when the time comes. It would be even better if I had the opportunity to return to the capital to be an official."

After what he saw and heard during this period of time, he knew very well how deep the water in the capital was, and at his current age, it was not suitable for him to get involved. Be more comfortable. Of course, it doesn't mean that he is not self-motivated. It's just that in his current situation, it's the best choice to go outside.

Wen Yuanliang and Qi Zixi looked at each other, finally digested Wen Yuanhong's words, pretended to smile relaxedly, patted Wen Yuanhong on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Since you have decided, don't regret it, but I still I hope you will work hard and at least get into the second class, you must know that my talent is not as good as yours, and I don't even want to be a Jinshi myself."

"Brother will definitely do well in the exam!" Wen Yuanhong said firmly.
