Wen Family Has a Wife

Wen Youshan was named, so he had no choice but to make a sound, so he coughed lightly: "That...old three, I heard that your cattle and sheep business did a good job yesterday!"

Wen Yuanxing nodded honestly, "It's pretty good, what's the matter? What does Dad want to ask?"

Looking at his face, Wen Youshan knew that others could see through his thoughts, so he stopped pretending immediately, and asked directly: "We just want to know how many cattle and sheep were sold by Manager Chen after a busy day yesterday?"

"Father, why don't you just ask Guanshi Chen about this?" Wen Yuanxing said amusedly.

Wen Youshan shook his head, "I'll just ask you about your matter, and ask others what's going on!"

Chen Ningya also nodded at this moment and said: "Your father is right, we will ask you about your affairs, if you don't want to talk about it, we will not force you, and we will not go to Chen Guanshi's side."

Wen Yuanxing grinned immediately, "Father and mother, you are still the same, that's all, since my father is curious, I said yes, yesterday I sold 639 sheep and 805 cows, how much did you earn?" , you can do the math yourself."

"Pfft!" Sun Laifu took a sip of tea, his eyes widened in disbelief, "So much! Doesn't this capital treat silver as silver? That's one thousand two thousand taels! Just buy cattle and sheep?"

Not to mention that Sun Laifu didn't understand, even Wen Youshan found it unbelievable, and repeatedly confirmed: "Really sold so many? You didn't lie to us?"

Wen Yuanxing spread his hands, "Father, what are you doing? Everything is on the Zhuangzi. If you can't do it, go and count it yourself. Now there are more than 100 cows and more than 300 sheep left. There will probably be people in the next few days." They came to the door one after another, but I didn't plan to continue selling them. The second sister got married the day after tomorrow. I will donate a few pigs at that time. At least our house will have enough ostentation, so that those who can't afford it can eat enough! "

Chen Ningya laughed and shook her head, "It won't take much, just two cows, four or five sheep, plus we bought a lot of dried seafood and bird's nest and other supplements from Dizhou. You don’t need to worry about it! But it can help you attract more guests, and with this money, we don’t have to worry about your betrothal gift.”

Wen Yuanxing raised his chin arrogantly, "I never planned to use your money, but I didn't expect to get married so early either!"

"Could it be that if you don't get married, you are preparing to continue to rush for the exam?" Zhao asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Wen Yuanxing.

Instead, Wen Yuanxing played tricks, "No, no, the imperial examination is a test, but it's just a matter of course. After the second sister gets married, I will go back to Dizhou with my second brother to give my parents an exam. After that, I will continue Go out for a study tour, and return to the capital after the exam."

Wen Yuanhong couldn't help but teased: "You have arranged the itinerary clearly, but you just don't know if it will go as smoothly as you said."

Huang Zhijie smiled wryly and said: "I have tried several times, but I am still stuck in the test. It is difficult to make any progress. This time, I plan to study hard in the capital for a few years before going back and try. If I fail, I will accept my fate!"

This topic is heavy.

Huang Zhigang followed up and said: "My eldest brother and I studied together in the capital for three years, and we ended up together after that. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Wenshan Academy to study for another round. If it still doesn't work, I won't take the exam. I haven't married yet. In the future If I have my own small family, I can't still put the burden of supporting the family on my parents."

Huang Zhijie also meant the same thing.

Deng didn't dare to say anything, but Huang immediately expressed his opinion: "Father and mother don't work hard, as long as you are promising!"

See what she means is that she doesn't want the Huang Zhijie brothers to give up.

Valley

This time, Huang Zhijie didn't follow what she wanted, but shook his head seriously: "Mom, I'm under a lot of pressure if I go on like this, and the exams will get worse and worse. What's wasted is time. When you can't support your family, I'll be too old At that time, it will be useless, and it will be difficult to support your family, let alone support your grandson to study. Instead of going to such an embarrassing situation, it is better to stop the loss in time. While you are still young, find an errand, or learn a craft from your father. It's the way out."

Mrs. Zhao was dumbfounded by the words, she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, it seemed that she just didn't understand.

It's not good for outsiders to intervene in this kind of matter, so as not to be thankless.

Wen Youshan hurriedly changed the topic, "Okay, these are things for the future, what you want to think about now is to study hard and go all out, it just so happens that I also know a lot of insightful people in the capital, like... ..Like my father-in-law, and the elder brother's husband, who is my eldest daughter-in-law's uncle, they are all serious Jinshi students.

Even my son-in-law knows a lot of great Confucian scholars from the Hanlin Academy, so I will find you a good gentleman to give advice to you, and you should work harder! "

The Huang family brothers and Tao Lin got up immediately and thanked them gratefully.

There was a smile on Zhao's face, but it was obviously not as good as it was at first.

After everyone left, Chen Ningya sighed, and said helplessly: "A-Lian puts too much pressure on the children, I think the mentality of these two children is not very good, it will not work if this continues! "

Wen Youshan nodded thoughtfully, "I can also see what you said, and I will find time to talk to Ergou later."

After speaking, Wen Youshan immediately looked at Wen Yuanxing, squinted his eyes and asked, "Stinky boy, tell me the truth, how much money do you have now?"

He quietly raised a million taels, and Wen Youshan was really overwhelmed, and couldn't help wondering whether he was worth so much.

Hearing Wen Youshan's question, Wen Yuanxing immediately looked at Chen Ningya with a playful smile, and said coquettishly, "Mother, do you want to know too?"

"Is there any difference?" Chen Ningya raised her eyebrows playfully.

"Of course! If Mother seems to know, I will know everything without saying anything. If Mother doesn't want to know, it's my father who wants to know. I have to think about how to answer."

"Pfft!" Chen Ningya couldn't help laughing.

Wen Youshan immediately stared dissatisfiedly, "Stinky boy! Do you have a problem with your father?"

Wen Yuanxing shook his head vigilantly, "It's not that I have a problem with my father, but that my father is unreliable! What if you get drunk and sell me?"

"Say it again!" Wen Youshan made a gesture to hit someone.

Wen Yuanxing hurriedly hid behind Chen Ningya, and quickly murmured: "Mother, let me tell you in secret, your son is rich in my family, and it is enough to buy a few cities and become the king himself, but your son keeps a low profile and makes a fortune in a silent voice. So the only one who knows that I am rich is my master.

Selling cattle and sheep this time is just a cover. From now on, even if I spend a lot of money, others will not bring us into our house, and my sisters-in-law will not speculate and be suspicious. They will serve multiple purposes. Your son is smart! "
