Wanjin Lady

Chapter 10 Aunt
However, Master Tu has always kept his plans to himself. He glanced at the girl in front of the steps. The once soft and cute girl had grown to the height of his shoulders. She was still petite, but she exuded a hint of firmness.

The young lady glanced over and said, "Master Tu, what's the problem?"

Tu Er slowly expressed his doubts: "What is it for?"

The young lady squinted her eyes and smiled, saying slowly, "Of course... to snatch her back and get married."

Mr. Tu was slightly startled when he heard this, but then he realized the importance of this trip.

If the Qi family doesn't give in, the Wen family can't just sit there and wait for death.

He showed his shiny broadsword, turned around and left, leaving behind some bold words before leaving.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely find you a man that suits your taste."

Wen Wan stared at the resolute back of Mr. Tu Erye, and after a while she looked up to the sky and shouted: Wang Defa, shouldn't she be more clear?

For example, a healthy body, eight-pack abs, a beautiful face, a strong waist, preferably one with both parents dead, no money, a decent character, not fighting or competing, and able to come and go at will.

Are these demands excessive?
Not too much!
I heard that Mr. Tu was born into a military family. He had been to the battlefield in his early years and had many deaths on his hands. He was involved in both the black and white worlds in Bozhou.

If it weren't for Old Man Wen's flattery, and if he hadn't often used the phrase "You and I are half-brothers" to pua Master Tu, Master Tu wouldn't have chosen the Wen family as his retirement base.

This is equivalent to Mr. Tu being a guest elder of the Wen family.

In a sect of immortal cultivation, Master Tu's combat capability is at least at the level of an old priest.

But now, not to mention the old servant of the Wen family, even the big yellow dog of the Wen family has to go out to work for her.

Wen Wan then selected the soldiers and generals and found seven or eight strong followers.

A large group of people were waiting in front of the main gate. Wen Weiming was carried to the carriage by an old servant. Seeing his daughter's shouting, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you looking for so many people?"

He was also worried that his eldest sister would think that his Wen family was bullying others and that there would be no room for negotiation on the marriage between the two families. "Today I'm just visiting relatives, let them all go -"

Wen Wan lifted the curtain and got on the carriage, then pulled down the curtain for Wen Weiming. "Father, there was a famine in Bingzhou some time ago, and refugees fled to various prefectures. Now the road is no longer peaceful."

Oh, today I am going to the Qi family to argue. How can I make things clear if I don’t bring more people with me?

Wen Weiming had heard a little about the famine in Bingzhou.

It was heard that the court allocated 700,000 taels of silver to the front line for disaster relief, but in the early spring someone went to Beijing to sue officials for corruption, and the 700,000 taels of silver was reduced to 200,000 taels.

His Majesty was furious and appointed Huai'an Marquis Wei Zheng as the Governor of Tianshui Prefecture, and sent him to Bingzhou to investigate the case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds.

But the events in Bingzhou were too far away after all.

It's okay to just hear it.

"You are really thoughtful." Wen Weiming leaned against the wall of the carriage, his face pale. The old servant who was accompanying him gave him another half bowl of ginseng tea, and his complexion improved slightly.

Wen Weiming struggled to get up. "The house seems quieter today than before. Where's Aunt Liu?"

Wen Weiming is sick, but he is not senile.

As soon as he moved from the house to the carriage, he noticed that the Wen family was different from before.

Normally, if she went out, Aunt Liu would definitely go out to see her off.

Today, however, there are few horses and saddles in front of the door.

The servants were busy hanging up lights and decorations, and amidst the joyous atmosphere, there was also a sense of coldness and desolation as people had left and the tea had gone cold.

Wen Wan had no choice but to tell her father everything about Concubine Cui. She also tried to comfort her father: "Father, Concubine Cui wants to leave, and I can't stop her. Besides, there's no need for someone who is in Cao's camp but whose heart is with Han to stay. Father, don't be sad. The most urgent thing is to take care of yourself. I'm young and I'm afraid I can't control my family. I still need your help with many things."

Wen Weiming's face did not show much sadness, and he then said a very wise saying.

"Aunt Cui spends money like water; it's good that she's gone. The family is strapped for cash now, so every penny saved counts." Alright.

Worry for nothing.

As expected, when capitalists look at problems, they always see the essence through phenomena.

What love and affection? They are just condiments after success.

"You did a good job with Concubine Liu. We shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket. Concubine Liu is just a way out. The best way to break the current situation... is to find a son-in-law. Don't worry, although your aunt likes to take advantage of small opportunities, she is not a person who can't distinguish right from wrong. Whether this trip succeeds or not, Dad must give them a definite answer."

Wen Weiming only spoke for a short while before he felt exhausted and closed his eyes without saying anything more.

Wen Wan didn't know what she was planning.

Old Man Wen and his aunt had a deep relationship. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Old Man Wen would not have believed that his closest relative had betrayed him.

Why would she become the evil person?

The human heart is unpredictable.

Her only concern now was Old Man Wen's health.

Old Man Wen couldn't stand the bumpy ride, so Wen Wan and her group walked very slowly. The journey that usually took half a day in a carriage lasted from dawn to dusk.

In the evening, the sun sets, the wind blows the wheat waves in the fields, and the moon is full.

Between the fields, dim lights flickered and dogs barked.

Finally arrived at the Qi family’s house.

My aunt's family has dozens of acres of fertile land. When the harvest was good in the early years, they built a large courtyard with three entrances next to the field.

The courtyard is a typical Hui-style building with white walls, gray tiles, and a three-tiered horse-head wall on top, which looks majestic and solemn.

Such a courtyard is already very impressive in the countryside.

Hongmei, holding a bamboo lantern, walked forward and knocked lightly on the door in the dim night.

After a while.

"Who is it——" The doorman's impatient voice came from behind the door.

The doorman opened the carriage a crack and immediately recognized the person in the carriage. Without waiting for Wen Wan to say anything, the doorman's face changed, as if he had seen a ghost in the middle of the night, and slammed the door shut.

Old Man Wen's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Anyone who comes all this way only to be turned away would be unhappy.

Wen Wan observed Old Man Wen's expression, fearing that the Qi family would anger him to death. At the same time, she said to Hongmei, "Knock again!"

Hongmei was angry, so she put more strength into her hands and hit the man's hand hard.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the house, and soon the eldest aunt came to greet them with several sons and daughters-in-law.

The door opened and light came in.

The eldest aunt took the lead and walked towards the carriage. She looked at Old Man Wen from afar through the curtains and tears immediately flowed down her face. She stroked Old Man Wen's face as if she were a child, her voice trembling, "Brother, how... did you become like this?"

The feelings are sincere and there is no trace of pretense.

The eldest aunt held Old Man Wen's hand, tears falling on the back of his dry hand. "I heard you were ill a while ago, but I never thought it was this serious. Last time, my whole family wanted to visit you, but Guili fell into the river on the way and has been ill ever since. I was so... flustered... and I was afraid to visit you to relieve your illness, so I kept putting it off until now. Are you... feeling better?"
