Chapter 23 Second Brother Wants to Find a Husband for Xingluo

In the past, Wen Xingluo always wore old clothes that Wen Yueyin didn’t want anymore.

She was much thinner than Yue Yin, so the clothes did not fit her. In addition, she looked pale, haggard and timid, and every time she looked up, she had a fawning expression on her face. Standing in the corner, she was even worse than a maid, and it annoyed people when they saw her.

But now Wen Xingluo...

She had her hair in a bun with a silver butterfly hairpin on the side. Her goose yellow silk ribbon was blown by the cold wind, and her figure was like a tender willow sprouting in the spring breeze. She was wearing an apricot pink double-breasted jacket and skirt made of Huanhua brocade, which made her delicate and soft skin as white as snow. Her eyebrows were dark and her face was full of spring. Her cheeks were naturally flushed, and her round almond eyes were dark, moist and clear, as if she was in a misty spring rain.

The fifteen-year-old girl is as white as jade and as beautiful as pearls.

She really looks like a young lady who is pampered in the palm of the hand of a prince or noble.

The Wen family residence was silent for a long time.

Wen Rulei clenched his fists with a complicated expression.

Since when did Wen Xingluo become so beautiful?

He and Yue Yin don’t look like twins at all!

Wen Yueyin stared at Wen Xingluo with a stiff smile on his face.

In her previous life, she was the one who stole the show by wearing gorgeous clothes and going home to pay New Year's greetings!

It was because she gave in to Wen Xingluo that this damn girl took advantage of her!

but……

Thinking that his father would be transferred back to the capital to be appointed as a minister in two years, and his three brothers would also become successful and gain power, Wen Yueyin's jealousy and resentment subsided a little.

Wen Xingluo, she didn't know what a good opportunity she had missed.

She can only enjoy the glory for the next two years!

The brother and sister were each thinking about their own things. Wen Xingluo greeted everyone and told Cuicui to distribute the gifts she had brought.

Although they are all old items piled up in the palace, they are still valuable in the eyes of the Wen family.

Wen Ruyun touched the embroidered silks with a complicated expression.

There were two rolls of moon-white silk, which he thought would suit him perfectly. If he were to cut them into a brocade robe and wear it, he would surely be admired and stared at by many people when he went out...

Wen Xingluo appeared in front of him at some point and asked softly, "Does Second Brother like it?"

Wen Ruyun immediately withdrew his hand, hiding the joy in his eyes, and sneered, "I was just thinking, these two pieces of silk are really ugly. Anyway, I don't like them! Wen Xingluo, don't think that this little favor can buy us off and make us favor you instead of favoring Yue Yin. I tell you, you will never be as good as Yue Yin in your life!"

Wen Xingluo seemed to smile.

Why did these selfish bastards think she was still begging for their love?

Love is the most precious thing in the world, but do these bad guys really have the ability to love?

I'm afraid all they can offer is false pretenses.

Wen Xingluo sighed softly, "So Second Brother despises the gifts I gave him. If that's the case, I'll have Cuicui carry these two pieces of silk back to the carriage, and I'll find two better pieces to give to Second Brother someday."

Cuicui was the maid assigned to her by the old empress dowager.

Although he is not very smart, he is loyal and has great strength.

Upon hearing Wen Xingluo's order, Cuicui immediately took the two pieces of moon-white silk away.

Wen Ruyun couldn't believe it, his knuckles stiffly suspended in the air.

He watched Cuicui walk away with the silk cloth in his arms. The words of resistance rolled in his throat for a few times, but he was too embarrassed to say them out loud. He could only suppress his anger and reluctance, and took a big sip of hot tea with his neck stiff.

He is not yet the wealthy southwestern businessman he was in his previous life, and cannot hide his emotions perfectly.

Wen Yueyin noticed his distortion and approached him slowly, saying sternly, "It's just two rolls of silk. I don't want to give it to you, and you don't want to accept it. As the saying goes, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; don't despise the young and poor.' How can I know that you won't become the richest man in the world one day?"

Wen Xingluo lowered his eyes and smiled.

In her previous life, Wen Ruyun was very ambitious but lacked the skills to achieve her goals, especially in the early stages of her business. She looked down on everyone and didn't want to deal with small businessmen, saying that they were vulgar and materialistic. Therefore, she was the one who negotiated all the business deals in private.

It was only when his business grew bigger that he was willing to sit down and have dinner with those wealthy people.

She will not help Wen Ruyun in this life. She wants to see how he can become the richest man in the world.

What’s the saying “Don’t bully the young because they are poor”? I’m afraid that in the future we will also hear “Don’t bully the middle-aged because they are poor” and “Don’t bully the old because they are poor”.

She didn't show it on her face, but just spoke softly and kindly: "Sister is right, second brother is not an ordinary person, he will definitely soar to the sky in the future."

After saying that, the steward came over and said that the master wanted to talk to Wen Xingluo in the study.

After Wen Xingluo left, Wen Ruyun slammed the table in displeasure.

Wen Rulei also spat: "Look how cocky she is! She only stayed in the palace for a few days, and she doesn't even know her last name! Second brother, if she doesn't want to go back to the Zhenbei Palace and begs us to keep her, don't agree!"

Wen Ruyun looked unhappy.

Judging from Wen Xingluo's attitude, he probably has no intention of staying in the Wen family.

After thinking for a while, Wen Ruyun said slowly: "Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. I think her mind has become wild."

Wen Yueyin probed: "What do you mean by that, second brother?"

Wen Ruyun poured a cup of tea with a half-smile on her face. "She's at the age of getting married, so she's a little impatient. Why don't we find her a good husband and have her marry and have children as soon as possible? As a woman, the only way to avoid other thoughts and stop comparing herself to Yue Yin is to stay at her husband's house."

"What kind of in-laws do you want to find for Wen Xingluo, second brother?"

Wen Ruyun glanced at the corner: "Look, isn't that ready-made?"

Wen Yueyin and Wen Rulei looked over.

The fat man squatting in the corner is over twenty years old. He is their cousin and also a born idiot.

Wen Rulei said cautiously, "My aunt has always valued my cousin very much. What would she be willing to do if she wanted my cousin to marry Wen Xingluo?"

"Wen Xingluo is now the adopted daughter of the royal family, so her dowry will be quite substantial," Wen Ruyun reminded slowly, "Do you think your aunt is willing to do it?"

The other side.

Wen Xingluo had no idea that her brother and sister were deciding her marriage.

She stepped into the study and greeted her father.

My father, Wen Qingsong, was the magistrate of Jing County. He passed the imperial examination at the last place. He usually liked to wear a straight robe made of brocade and a small round hat made of blue satin. He twirled his mustache, looking like a villain who had achieved success.

When Wen Xingluo came in, he was standing behind the desk practicing calligraphy.

Without even looking up, he commanded sternly, "Kneel down."
