Chapter 117: Speak first and suffer losses
When he arrived in the front hall, Wen Qingzhu saw that Wen Qingfang still had tears on his face.
"Seventh sister!" Wen Qingfang saw her coming, and hurriedly greeted her.
It was the first time for Wen Qingfang to hold hands so closely, Wen Qingzhu was very unaccustomed.
However, she didn't push Wen Qingfang away, but took her to sit down with her.
"Sixth sister, what's wrong?" Wen Qingzhu looked at her eyes and found that tears were flashing in her eyes, which made people unbearable to look at.
However, Wen Qingzhu's heart did not fluctuate much.
She knows that her sister has excellent acting skills.
Wen Qingfang waited for a while, and saw that Wen Qingzhu didn't take the initiative to ask anything else.
Only then did he take the initiative to speak: "I can't hide it, I went to pick up my mother back yesterday, but my grandfather didn't let my mother in, my father was so anxious that he was almost about to do it with my grandfather, I really had no choice, so I came to beg the seventh sister." β
Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "I can't do anything about what my grandfather decides, my uncle is my grandfather's favorite son, he begs his grandfather more, and my grandfather will definitely be soft-hearted." β
Wen Qingfang gritted her teeth secretly, this Wen Qingzhu! It's really watertight!
But now that she is asking for someone, Wen Qingfang can only soften her temper and continue: "Seventh sister, sister really has no choice, grandfather doesn't seem to be joking this time." β
"But my grandfather doesn't like me, yesterday I went to show my grandmother's injury, and my grandfather was also very cold, so it's better to let my second brother persuade my grandfather." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to talk much.
Now she kind of understood what Wen Qingfang meant.
Wen Qingfang saw that she didn't answer at all, so she could only confess: "Seventh sister, my sister has something to ask for, and my sister will definitely be able to do it!" I hope my sister will help the sixth sister for the sake of the family. β
"Sixth sister, let's talk about it." Wen Qingzhu said calmly.
Wen Qingfang clenched Wen Qingzhu's hand: "Sister promise me first!" β
Wen Qingzhu looked at Wen Qingfang, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips: "Sixth sister, you are a strong man." β
Wen Qingfang's mind was full of thoughts, and she suddenly got up and bent down to kneel.
Wen Qingzhu would let her do this, and immediately raised Wen Qingfang's arm steadily, and said with a hint of threat in her tone: "Sixth sister! If you have something to say, it's good to say! β
Looking up, Wen Qingfang saw Wen Qingzhu's dark eyes, which were so deep that they were frightening.
"Seven, seven......" Wen Qingfang seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
It just so happened that there was a commotion outside at this time.
After a while, the voice came closer.
It was Wen Mingyu's voice.
He scolded: "You cheap maid dare to stop Young Master Ben!" Young Master Ben came to your Yan Garden, but he gave you face! Get out of the way for Master Ben! β
"Ahh Xi'er suddenly screamed.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes turned pale, let go of Wen Qingfang, got up and walked out quickly.
When they arrived at the door, Jasmine was helping Xi'er up who had fallen to the ground.
Wen Qingzhu's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he asked coldly, "Second Young Master, how did Miss Ben's maid offend you?" β
When Wen Mingyu saw her appear at the door, he immediately pointed at Wen Qingzhu's nose and said, "Aren't you okay!" Don't hurry up and call Doctor Fang! With him, Grandmother will wake up in no time! β
Wen Qingzhu sneered at the corner of his mouth, looking at Wen Mingyu as if he was looking at a fool.
Wan and Wen Qingfang of Dafang are both smart people, why are Wen Bogui and Wen Mingyu stupid like this?
Wen Qingfang in the house hurriedly rushed out.
She stood beside Wen Qingzhu, and when she saw Wen Mingyu's side, Xi'er covered her hands.
I suddenly felt bad!
Wen Qingfang immediately walked over and asked Xi'er eagerly: "Are you okay?" Does it matter? Is there any bloodshed, or let me let Dr. Song show you. β
Facing Wen Qingfang's enthusiastic concern, Xi'er was startled and hurriedly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, the slave is fine, it's just a little bit of skin." β
Wen Mingyu saw that Wen Qingfang cared so much about a maid, and he was very puzzled: "Fang'er, why do you care so much about a maid!" Even if she's deadβ"
Before she finished speaking, Wen Qingfang was really angry, and she scolded loudly: "Brother! Have you forgotten what your mother said! Be friendly with brothers and sisters! β
In the past, Wen Qingfang had always spoken softly and done things gently, even if she scolded people.
Seeing her like this today, Wen Mingyu jumped and didn't react for a long time.
Wen Qingfang took off the injured jade bracelet, forcibly stuffed it to Xi'er, and then turned to apologize to Wen Qingzhu: "Excuse me Seventh Sister, I'll take my brother away, and we'll figure out the mother's affairs ourselves." β
As soon as they left, the East Courtyard was quiet again.
Wen Qingzhu walked down, looked at the bracelet in Xi'er's hand and fell into deep thought.
This time Liu was injured by mistake, did Wen Guanbin spill his anger on Wan's body?
Wen Qingfang and Wen Mingyu came to her one after another, it won't be to release words, only when Liu is awake, Wan can enter the door or something like that.
"Miss, what the slave doesn't want......" Xi'er saw Wen Qingzhu staring at the bracelet in her hand, and explained uneasily.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, you take your dowry." β
Hearing the word dowry, Xi'er blushed all of a sudden.
After entering the house, Wen Qingzhu listened to Jasmine's words, and the smile on his face gradually deepened.
She really guessed it.
Wen Guanbin decided to put the blame for all this on Wan's head.
Seeing Wen Qingfang and Wen Mingyu's anxious appearance just now, it should be Wen Guanbin's real character.
This time, I'm afraid that Mrs. Wan will not be able to come over in person.
It is very likely that the relationship of the Xia family will be used.
Mrs. Wan came that day, and brought the imperial doctor who she thought she knew each other with.
But Wen Guanbin still didn't let Wan enter the door.
The atmosphere of the Wen family suddenly fell to a freezing point.
On Yan Yuan's side, because of Uncle Wen's relationship, the fighting methods of the big room and the fourth room generally do not affect her.
But she didn't want to get involved, so someone came to her door and asked her to participate.
The person who came was none other than Aunt Ding.
In the front hall, Wen Qingzhu and Aunt Ding sat and withdrew all their subordinates.
Aunt Ding's words were very direct: "Miss Seven, the concubine knows that you also want to split up, why don't you take this opportunity to split up?" "Huaxia Chinese
Wen Qingzhu looked at her with heavy eyes and said, "Auntie, unless my grandfather speaks in person about this kind of family separation, we juniors don't have a place to beak." β
Aunt Ding frowned, and she saw Wen Qingzhu's series of movements.
Isn't it just to divide the family?
Uncle Wen doesn't have any presence in the Wen family, so it's a little better than the second room.
Some time ago, Wen Shuquan suggested that Wen Guanbin give up his promotion, which angered Wen Guanbin even more.
The third room suffered even more from the cold, and there was no difference from their second room.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the door and said lightly: "Aunt Ding, you are a smart person, this grandmother's accident was just an accident, and the Wen family is not separated to be good for the second uncle and the second uncle." β
Listening to her words, Aunt Ding's brows furrowed even tighter.
What exactly does Wen Qingzhu mean?
Does she really not want to break up?
Uncle Wen is all in the Wen family, and he is not in power or money.
Now he is confined to his home, although he has a loose official, but he can't go out means that he has no official position.
If the family is separated, Uncle Wen can at least control his actions.
Aunt Ding really doesn't understand.
Wen Qingzhu retracted his gaze and saw through Aunt Ding's thoughts.
She smiled lightly: "Auntie, grandmother will wake up after all, so now is not the time." β
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Ding was suddenly startled and covered her mouth.
She understood.
Aunt Ding immediately got up, and thanked Wen Qingzhu: "Thank you Miss Seven for reminding me, the concubine knows." β
After sending Aunt Ding away, Wen Qingzhu packed up his things and went to Zimingtang.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Zimingtang, Wen Qingzhu met Wen Qingxin.
After the two greeted each other, Wen Qingzhu found that Wen Qingxin's maid was missing.
Qianxiang is not there, only Baixiang is there.
However, Wen Qingzhu didn't ask much, and turned around to find Wen Mingxuan.
Wen Mingxuan knew that she was coming, so he waited for her in the courtyard early.
"Sister, hurry! Come on in! It's hot outside and there is an ice basin in the house. Wen Mingxuan ran over and took her hand into the house.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu asked softly, "Has your ninth brother been anything unusual recently?" β
"What do you mean?" Wen Mingxuan didn't know what she wanted to ask.
Wen Qingzhu touched his head and said, "Looking at your expression, there should be nothing unusual." β
Looking up at the direction of Wen Mingliang's courtyard, Wen Qingzhu fell into deep thought.
When he returned to Yanyuan at night, Wen Qingzhu wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Zheng Xu.
At noon the next day, Wen Guanbin returned home with a gloomy face.
At the same time, he called his four sons together.
β¦β¦
In the middle of the afternoon, Songyan came.
"Miss Seven, the master asked the slave to invite you over."
Wen Qingzhu had already prepared, got up and said, "Well, lead the way." β
Song Yan nodded, and at the same time said to her: "The master has decided, and the seventy thousand taels of silver are planned to be sent out by the entire Wen family." β
Songyan said it implicitly, but Wen Qingzhu understood.
Wen Guanbin means that Yan Yuan will also pay 20,000 taels of silver.
This money is not much, Wen Qingzhu is actually not worried, because she knows that Wen Shuquan has a share of the industry in his hands.
Of course, the Wen family didn't know that this was secretly purchased by Uncle Wen.
After so many years of operation, Uncle Wen can still take out all 20,000 taels of silver.
But whether he can take it or not is another matter.
When she arrived at Fushoutang, after Wen Qingzhu sat down, she looked up and found that she was the last to come.
Wen Guanbin glanced at everyone, and then slowly spoke: "Seventy thousand taels of silver, and fourteen thousand taels for each room." β
Everyone was shocked and raised their heads in unison, how could it be fourteen thousand taels?
Wen Qingzhu was also surprised, and couldn't help but look at Wen Guanbin.
I saw Wen Guanbin say in a deep voice: "Eight thousand taels of silver for each room, and fourteen thousand taels of silver for Fushoutang." β
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head, and in this way, the crisis of the Wen family eased a lot!
Although each room was only 3,500 taels of silver, it was already very good.
At least for the large and four-bedroom rooms, it is less uncomfortable.
All kinds of places are put together, and friends borrow from each other, and the silver is still available.
However, the second and third rooms are still very uncomfortable.
The silver in the second room was squandered by Wen Zhongcong, and the silver in the third room was swallowed by Aunt Wu.
This year, Aunt Yue took over, although she did not make ends meet, but she did not save much silver.
Wen Qingzhu frowned, why did Wen Guanbin think that the second and third rooms could get so much silver?
However, to Wen Qingzhu's surprise, Wen Zhongcong and Wen Shuquan hadn't spoken yet, and Wen Bogui actually spoke again.
But this time his tone was much calmer: "Father, your eldest daughter-in-law manages the huge Wen family on a daily basis, and there are only so many pieces of silver that are usually shared, and we really can't take out 14,000 taels of silver, at most we can only take out 5,000 taels, which is still taken out of Fang'er's mother's dowry." β
Wen Guanbin had a gloomy face and did not speak.
Wen Jihua also spoke at this time: "My father knows the situation in my hands, and it is not easy for my sister-in-law to manage the Wen family, but the silver is taken from us, and my father knows how much profit and loss there is, and we also plan to take it from the child's mother's dowry, but the eldest brother only takes 5,000 taels, and the son only takes 5,000 taels." β
Once again, the situation in the room was at an impasse.
Obviously, Wen Bogui spoke first and suffered a loss.
But Wen Jihua's firmness made Wen Guanbin's face even more difficult to look at.
