Wen Family Has a Wife

Wen Youshan and Sun Laifu were also very curious, so they simply followed the steward and sneaked a peek near the gate of the mansion.

The housekeepers who were waiting outside were shocked when they saw the person coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Steward Chen, what did the third master say? Can you sell it?"

Another person interjected: "We also know that the third master prepared these cattle and sheep for his family. We just want to ask cheekily to see if we can get some more out. We don't want much..."

The person next to him immediately covered the mouth of the speaker, and said with a sneer, "Of course, it would be best if there were more."

"Yes, yes, it would be best if there were more."

The crowd was chattering and yelling, and Chen Guanshi couldn't even get in a word. Finally, seeing that everyone was about to fight over how to divide the cattle and sheep, he shouted loudly: "Calm down and listen to me!"

There was an instant silence all around.

Chen Guanshi panted heavily, rolled up his sleeves and put his hands on his hips, frowned and said, "Our third master said, one thousand taels for a sheep, two thousand taels for a cow, no two prices."

After finishing speaking, Chen Guanshi closed his eyes subconsciously. The expected bargaining did not appear. He was puzzled for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes, only to find that those people had already walked back in twos and threes. No one is there.

This change made Chen Guanshi a little overwhelmed, hurriedly caught up with the first two steps, and murmured: "Why are you so incompetent! But I was so scared after saying a price!"

Chen Guanshi shook his head, turned around and walked into the mansion.

After watching a play, Sun Laifu and the others worriedly said to Wen Youshan, "Brother, what should we do? If those people don't buy it, what will you do with so many cattle and sheep?"

"Yuanxing, this kid really doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, so he has lost so many good things for nothing!" Huang Ergou was heartbroken.

Tao Deren also sighed, "Why do you think this thing can't be kept? It would be great if it could be kept! Do you want to persuade Yuanxing, we can definitely sell it if we lower the price, and at least get back some of the capital."

Wen Youshan remained silent, shook his head after a long while, and said, "Forget it, he will handle this matter himself, and if he really loses it, it's his business. In the worst case, it will be deducted from his betrothal gift!"

Don't look at his calm face, in fact, his heart is already dripping blood.

It's just that it's not easy to show timidity in front of your brothers.

Sun Laifu shook his head in disapproval, "Farewell, this kid is different from his two elder brothers, Yuan Liang and Yuan Hong are both serious about studying and taking the imperial examination.

He has his own skills. Yuan Xing has been outside for so many years, and he doesn't know how well he has learned the homework. He is still only a scholar. Of course, it is a great thing to be admitted as a scholar. It sounds much worse. If you withhold his dowry again, how can he marry a wife in the future? "

Huang Ergou followed suit and nodded again and again, persuading him, "Forget it, you'll learn a lot from a pit, and after this, I think this kid will understand."

Tao Deren didn't say a word, and it took him a long time to ask inexplicably: "Youshan, the child is away from home, where did you get so much money? It can't be from you!"

"How can this be possible!" Wen Youshan shook his head without even thinking about it. The money that Wen Yuanxing brought with him when he left was probably spent almost the same amount of money, so how could he resist his troubles like this!

"You didn't give it to me, so his money is..." Sun Laifu had a question mark on his face.

Just when everyone was tangled, those who had just left came back, one by one standing at the door looking forward to it.

The concierge quickly went in to report, and Chen Guanshi rushed out with his pants in his hands, "What's the matter..."

"Chen Guanshi, our master said that he wants two sheep and one cow."

"Chen Guanshi, Chen Guanshi, our wife also said that I want five sheep and five cows, and they will be delivered to..."

"And us, our old man also said he wanted four sheep and four cows..."

Everyone was shouting at one another, and Manager Chen was stupefied. It took him a long time to stomp his feet and shout loudly: "Wait! Did you listen carefully just now? What my third master said was one thousand taels for a sheep. Two thousand taels per cow, are you sure you want this much?"

"Sure! Why are you not sure! Steward Chen, don't worry about it, and give the cattle and sheep quickly. We can all bring banknotes. There are still many people waiting to buy cattle and sheep, and they will be gone if it is too late! "

Everyone was in a hurry.

Dazed, Steward Chen asked his servants to bring a pair of desks and chairs and the Four Treasures of the Study, and registered while collecting money, and then arranged for his servants to take the stewards who had paid the money to the village to pick up cattle and sheep.

From the beginning of the busy work, people who came to buy cattle and sheep never stopped. From day to night, lamps were lit outside the gate of Duke Anguo's mansion, and the last person to buy cattle and sheep left.

Director Chen let out a sigh of relief, and without taking a break, he hurriedly ordered the door of the house to be closed, and then went to the side room to settle the score.

It was only at the quarter of the day that he counted all the bank notes, carried the box tremblingly and went to Wen Yuanxing's yard, and reported respectfully: "Third Master, you are still the best. Today our house sold six hundred sheep. Thirty-nine cows were better sold, so I went directly to 805 cows, earning a total of 2,249,000 taels."

After reporting this number again, Guanshi Chen's heartbeat still accelerated, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. His mother, after living most of her life, this was the first time she saw so many bank notes!

Wen Yuanxing was calm, and nodded casually with the corners of his mouth curled up, "The numbers are all right, there is no problem, that's it, put the things down and return them, by the way, you have worked hard all day, here is a hundred taels of silver, take it Share it with those who help."

Chen Guanshi was startled again by Wen Yuanxing's generosity, took the bank note, saluted more respectfully, and retreated obediently.

Book came in from the outside, saw those banknotes without raising his eyelids, and asked: "Third Master, do you want to put these banknotes in Tonghai Bank?"

Wen Yuanxing played with the jade wrench on his thumb, and said, "Whatever, it's just for fun, take some out, I want to honor my parents!"

"Obey!" Booklet took out an account book from the hidden compartment and began to make accounts.

The next day, when Wen Yuanxing stepped into the lobby of the front yard, he found that everyone looked at him strangely, which made him feel awkward. After sitting down, he asked suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong with me?"

When he was talking, he looked at Tao Lin and Huang Zhigang, who shook their heads repeatedly.

Wen Yuanxing became more and more depressed, "Stop shaking, your head will fall off! If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Tao Lin's eyes immediately fell on Sun Laifu and the others.

Sun Laifu kicked Huang Ergou, Huang Ergou pinched Tao Deren, Tao Deren gasped in pain, "It's too hard! There are mountains, don't you care?"
