Wen Kui: "This old slave underestimated them. Master, do you want to tell Elder Fan about Zou Yunting?"
Wen Qian was silent for a while and said slowly: "His own disciples are unwilling to tell him, so why should we sow discord between them? After all, we don't understand what is going on."
Wen Kui: "Okay."
Wen Yong: "With Zou Yunting's strength, he was actually injured by a mere servant, and he even helped the murderer hide it. Things are really getting more and more interesting. What do these people want to do after sneaking into the Wen Mansion?"
Wen Kui: "The story has basically been sorted out. The third lady's spiritual pet was lost twice in the beginning, but the fat man found it. Then Niu Youqing was the only one who could let the spiritual pet eat. , and later it was discovered that they were in a group, which meant that they might be deliberately contacting the Third Miss through spiritual pets. They were inquiring about the situation of Wenshu Pavilion, and the Third Miss also entered on purpose not long after coming into contact with Niu Youqing. When I went to Wenshu Pavilion, I wondered if Miss Third knew something."
Wen Qian nodded slightly, "This girl is indeed hiding something from us. What is it that makes her want to hide it from even my grandfather?"
The room was quiet for a while, and Wen Kui broke the calm again, "Master, the son-in-law of the Wan family named Yin arrived in Ningzhou City an hour ago."
Speaking of this, Wen Qian seemed to have a headache, sat down again, leaned back in the chair and snorted, "The Wan family is the most annoying! Once he gets his way, he will be domineering!"
Wen Kui knew what he hated. Mr. Wan's favorite thing was to make embarrassing tricks during sacrifices.
They made grand long sacrificial robes, and someone had to help hold the corners of the clothes, and the master who followed behind was one of them.
The thick and large incense stick that was made was unstable and had to be supported by someone, and the master who followed behind was one of them.
In short, not only does he have to be the officiant to steal the limelight, but he also has to make the master hold his clothes and hand in front of everyone, which makes the Wen family lose face. No matter how good the master is, he can't hold it back even for tens of thousands of people. fire.
"We still have a month to prepare for the cultural meeting. Yin Jizhen may not appear as a public official. Even if he does, the master's grandson-in-law may not be inferior to him." Wen Kui could only be so relieved.
There is nothing that can be done about this kind of literary meeting. The only choice is for the children of the family to participate. If the children of the family have limited literary talent, it will be useless no matter how hard they try.
As for letting the son-in-law play, the rumor came from the Wan family. That is already wrong. I am afraid that the Wan family is really shameless and really lets Yin Jizhen play. If the Wan family wants to lose face, then this Bian won't let his son-in-law play, the key depends on the Wan family's attitude.
As for after the cultural meeting, it is determined which family is the officiant, and that family can prepare according to the specifications of whether it is the officiant.
The preparation specifications for the officiant will definitely be different, but one or two months is enough to prepare.
…
In the evening, the rain stopped and the sunset filled the sky.
The grandpa and grandson had dinner together as usual. After three glasses of wine, Wen Xin held down the wine pot again and forbade grandpa from drinking any more.
Wen Qian had no choice but to give up happily, and asked casually, "I heard that Pingping has no time to accompany you?"
Wen Xin shook her head, "Her senior brother is seriously injured and shouldn't move around. He said he has to lie down for at least half a month before he can walk. Pingping has to take care of his senior brother. It doesn't matter if he doesn't accompany me. I don't know what kind of gangster he is, but he has the heart to do so. How could a person do such a cruel thing?"
Wen Qian observed her reaction for a while, then sighed, "It's just that things are unpredictable. Girl, grandpa, I have been thinking about whether I have protected you too well since you were a child. 'People's hearts are evil' and it's not just you who is there." The four words seen on the scroll."
Wen Xin was slightly startled and stared at him, not knowing what he wanted to say. She felt that there seemed to be something unusual about grandpa today.
Wen Qian didn't express too much emotion, and returned to the topic, "Pingping is no longer here, and you have one less errand boy around you. You can choose someone else."
Wen Xin: "Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with me, so there's no need to bother me."
Wen Qian: "Aren't you going to start trying to get in touch with things at home? Didn't you already start from Xizayuan?"
"..." Wen Xin was speechless, thinking about how to respond.
Wen Qian added: "Pingping is your companion, and Xiaohong is your personal maid. You are now a grown-up, so it is time for you to have someone around you who can help you with things and run errands. Sooner or later, you will need them. Pick a pick. Personally, you can choose any of the servants in the house, any one you want to go to your Yuyuan."
Wen Xin was stunned, blinking again and again. She didn't know what she thought of. After thinking about it for a while, she tried to ask: "Grandpa, am I really the one to choose?"
Growing up, her grandfather helped her carefully select the people who entered Yuyuan, including Xiaohong. She really never made the decision herself when it came to recruiting people, because her grandfather always said that people are the most complicated. I'm afraid she won't be able to grasp it well.
Wen Qian waved the chopsticks in her hand, "Grandpa keeps his word. You are now a grown man. It's time for you to try to make the decision."
Wen Xin asked again: "Can anyone do it?"
She also knows that there are rules in the family about some things.
Wen Qian hummed and said, "As long as it's a servant of Wen Mansion, you can choose anyone. You can choose it yourself later."
Wen Xin said "hmm", not refusing, but accepted, but she was a little distracted while eating.
After she finished eating and left, Wen Qian tapped her fingers on the table before Wen Kui came in.
"Do you think she would choose the one looking at the utility room?" Wen Qian looked at the door and asked, seeming to be talking to himself.
Wen Kui knew that this person had already made a decision to use his granddaughter as bait. He didn't want to say anything more and simply replied: "It seems that there is a high probability that it will happen."
At dawn the next day, Yu Qing took the broom and went out again to sweep the floor.
It had rained, and a lot of leaves had been dropped by the rain, and most of them were stuck to the ground. It was not easy to clean today, but Yu Qing's work attitude was pretty good.
On the surface, he works hard and does not complain, but in his mind, he is thinking about three people, Wen Xin, Zou Yunting, and Wen Guo.
After Xiao Wuzhi took him away, it was unlikely that Wen Xin would come again. Even if he came, there would always be people around him, so it would be difficult to speak.
It stands to reason that if the adultery is exposed, Zou Yunting will definitely tell Mr. Wen Guo. I wonder if Mr. Wen Guo will come to him after learning about it. If Zou Yunting is seriously injured and cannot come back, it will be fine if Mr. Wen Guo comes. The second landlord of the Wen family As for her mother’s identity, it would be nice if she was willing to help find out the information.
Of course, on the one hand, I think well, but on the other hand, I have heightened my vigilance and have to turn a blind eye even when I sleep at night.
This is the price you pay for being happy for a while. If you expose someone's adultery, you must always be on guard against someone doing something unthinkable or taking risks.
After sweeping the floor, I went back to the yard to get my rice bowl and took a routine walk around the canteen...
"What? Let Niu Youqing go to Yuyuan?"
In the miscellaneous room, Liu Gui exclaimed to Manager Feng who was making tea and water.
Hot water was poured into the teapot, and Manager Feng sat down behind the case. "What's so strange about this? It's suitable for raising a spiritual pet for the third lady. It's normal to go there."
Liu Gui was a little annoyed, "Boss, Niu Youqing has only been here for a few days. I'm afraid he didn't even find out the details, so he just went to work in the inner courtyard. Is this appropriate?"
He could still accept working as an errand somewhere else, but it would be too jealous to go directly to the third lady's Yuyuan.
Apart from guards, there are no male servants in Yuyuan. What does it mean to choose the male servants from the past? It is very likely that he will become the confidant of the third lady.
That's a position that many servants are envious of!
Who doesn't know that the patriarch, as the head of the family, loves his granddaughter very much? It is conceivable that when the third lady gets married, the Wen family will definitely give a large dowry.
The confidant next to the third lady is also the only male servant. In all likelihood, he will help the third lady take care of the dowry in the future.
Think about it, you have countless fertile fields, houses, shops, gold and silver treasures, etc. in your hands to take care of. What is the concept of that? No matter what you do, you will always have fat on your hands.
With such a fat man, how many servants can not be envious, jealous and jealous?
Manager Feng leaned back in his chair, "Since the housekeeper can allow it, it means that it has been checked and there is nothing wrong. You don't need to worry about it."
Liu Gui muttered: "Steward, I don't have any other intentions. After all, you recruited this person, I'm just afraid that if something happens, it will harm you. Besides, there are so many families that have no luck in having children. Why can a new outsider serve the third lady? Just wait and see, I'm afraid a lot of people won't accept it!"
Manager Feng sighed: "I understand your thoughts, don't talk about you, I am also envious, but Liu Gui, this person really has a destiny, sometimes we really have to accept our fate. You see, the third lady raised Dog...oh, no, I am a spiritual pet. I am not close to anyone. I don’t like you or me. I just like Niu Youqing. What do you think I should do? The third lady will naturally look at her differently. What do you think this is if it’s not fate? ?”
"Alas!" Liu Gui was dejected.
Manager Feng: "Everyone has his own destiny, and you can't envy him! Well, it's no longer our turn to take care of this. Just go and call people over."
"Yes." Liu Gui sighed and left.
He didn't go too far when he saw Yu Qing coming to the dining hall from a distance. He immediately walked over to greet him and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Niu, congratulations."
Yu Qing was puzzled and looked up and down, "Why are you so happy?"
"Third Miss has chosen you to work as an errand in Yuyuan..." Liu Gui gave an overview of the situation.
"Uh..." Yu Qing was secretly happy at first because he could be by Wen Xin's side, but then he was stunned again and gradually became a little frightened. Thinking that he might bump into Wen Yanan at any time, he immediately waved his hands, "No, no, how can I do that? I won’t go, please tell Manager Feng and let someone else go, I’m really not good at it, I just came here and I don’t understand anything.”
"Brother Niu, don't be ignorant. This matter is decided by the higher ups, and Manager Feng can't make the decision. We servants can do whatever work we are given. There is no reason to bargain or pick jobs. Besides, Oh, this is a huge fat loss. The third lady will get married sooner or later..." Liu Gui immediately told the story of countless fertile fields, houses, shops and gold, silver and jewelry. Being able to say this in private was considered a blessing. Good deal now.
Yu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "How can you have so much dowry?"
Liu Gui cheered and whispered: "You don't understand this. When the third lady gets married, as the favorite granddaughter of the family head, the dowry given by the family will never be small, and those uncles will also give her a dowry. Also, Yes, Miss San is the only one in the whole Sanfang family. All properties under the name of Sanfang from the capital to overseas belong to Miss San. I heard that when Miss Sanfang’s mother married into the Wen family, the dowry she brought was worth tens of millions. Two, those are all the third lady’s. Seventy-seven or eighty-eight, the third lady’s dowry is hundreds of millions. Do you think the wealth of one of the three major families in Jinnan is nothing?”
