Chapter 89: They are both the pride of heaven and the best among men

Wen family.

Wen Rufeng was deeply troubled. "The news of her abandoning her husband and children has spread all over the city, and how can Mother still sit still?! I'm about to get married, and she won't even come to help. I really don't know why she gave birth to us in the first place!"

"I'm afraid I can't count on her to provide a betrothal gift for my eldest brother." Wen Yueyin played with her handkerchief. "When my eldest brother and Xu Miaomiao get married and have children, I can't expect her to come back to take care of Xu Miaomiao during her confinement. We should have known that having a mother like this is no different than not having one."

Wen Rufeng ordered the maids to paste big red wedding characters everywhere in the house.

Logically speaking, these trivial matters should not be done by a grown man like him, but his mother doesn't care about him. In the past, he could rely on Wen Xingluo, but now Wen Xingluo has run away with his mother, resulting in the absence of a woman who can take charge of the overall situation in the family.

He sighed, "I think we can only wait for Xu Miaomiao to come home and ask her to help us take care of the trivial matters."

Wen Yueyin smiled and said, "I've inquired about it. She has quite a bit of dowry. When the time comes, I'll ask her to give it all out. It will not only improve our lives, but also serve as capital to support my second brother in continuing his business. I just don't know if she's willing to do that..."

Wen Rufeng waved his hand and said, "Don't ask her about the dowry. I will be the one who decides it after she gets married."

The brother and sister were discussing something, but Wen Ruyun didn't speak.

Wen Rufeng asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"

Wen Ruyun shook his folding fan, a sinister look hidden in his eyes, "I'm thinking, mother's matter can't be let go like this."

"What's the meaning?"

"She's hiding in the Zhenbei Palace, where the rumors outside can't hurt her. But what I want to see is her crying bitterly, apologizing for abandoning her husband and children, and offering a generous betrothal gift to my eldest brother! She is our mother, and she was born to love us, not selfishly enjoy wealth and glory!"

Wen Ruyun felt a lump in his chest.

He couldn't sleep all night long when he thought about his mother and Wen Xing living a life of luxury in the Zhenbei Palace, while he and his siblings were living on simple food and clothing in the county government office and were scolded by their father from time to time.

Things shouldn't be like this...

They, the brother and sister, are both chosen ones by heaven and outstanding people.

The mother should blame herself for abandoning them, Wen Xingluo should be jealous of Yue Yin for being favored by them, and should regret following her mother into the Zhenbei Palace!

Wen Yueyin asked, "What good ideas does Second Brother have?"

Thinking of his father's hints and indulgence, Wen Ruyun slowly put on a devilish smile, "I have a plan..."

After he finished speaking, Wen Yueyin's eyes lit up, "This plan works!"

Wen Rufeng nodded inscrutablely, "It was all because of mother that we resorted to this desperate measure. It's not our fault."

While they were discussing, the maids had already hung up the red lanterns and pasted up big red wedding characters.

Wen Rufeng sat down at the stone table and picked up his pen, saying, "I haven't started writing the wedding invitations yet. I have to study with Master He tonight, so time is running out. Can you two help me?"

Wen Yueyin and Wen Ruyun looked at each other.

Wen Yueyin put a handkerchief to the tip of her nose and coughed a few times, then said with a smile, "Brother, you know I'm frail and prone to illness. I'm really powerless to help with these family matters and can't do anything."

"I still have business to think about, so I don't have time to write the invitation for you." Wen Ruyun waved her folding fan and refused. "After all, it's you who's getting married, not us. You should just do it yourself."

Wen Rufeng looked at the two people sitting idly and couldn't help feeling depressed.

It would be great if Wen Xing fell.

She would definitely do it herself and make his wedding a grand affair, not letting him worry about anything and asking him to spend all his time on his studies.

He bit the pen, called the maid, and sent her to ask Wen Xingluo to come back to help him arrange the wedding.

Zhenbei Palace.

Chen Lezhi was practicing with a whip in the yard, and the maids in Xiejinyuan crowded in the corridor to watch. As the whip flowers exploded, they followed with a series of cheers.

Wen Xingluo sat under the eaves, holding a jade-handled Su embroidered silk fan, and said with a smile, "You said my eldest brother asked me to go home and arrange his wedding?"

The little maid of the Wen family stood at the bottom of the stairs, tugging at her clothes nervously.

The palace was magnificent and golden, so different from the county government office that she felt a little ashamed.

The lady in front of me is different from before.

Her brows drooped as she spoke in a low voice, "The eldest master said that he's been busy with family matters these past few days, and asked Miss to go back and help out. As for wedding gifts, you can give whatever you like, but it can't be too shabby."

Wen Xingluo shook his Luo Shan and asked, "Can you lend a hand?"

"It's to help with the wedding! The eldest young master is getting married in a few days, but the banquet and everything isn't ready yet. He wants you to make the menu, contact the chef, and then go to the market to order the dishes and stuff. Also, you have to buy the fruits, cakes, candies, tea and wine for the guests in advance. This time, the eldest young master has invited many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and I estimate there will be over a hundred tables! It has to be a grand affair!"

Hearing the stars falling, he smiled.

In her previous life, she also personally arranged the wedding of Wen Rufeng and Xu Miaomiao.

Although she is the youngest sister, there is no one in the Wen family who can take on the responsibility, so she has to take over.

Wen Rufeng didn't give her much of a budget, and she wished she could break a coin into two halves. She stood in the vegetable market for half a day, and after talking her mouth off, she finally bought all kinds of fresh and delicious vegetables at low prices and held a grand wedding for Wen Rufeng.

But even so, Xu Miaomiao and Wen Rufeng still complained that the banquet she prepared was not up to standard.

The couple used this as an excuse to only give red envelopes to Wen Yueyin and the other two siblings, leaving her with a few cold words: "Your wedding banquet was terrible. It made us lose face in front of relatives and friends. We are embarrassed to give this red envelope, but I'm afraid you are too embarrassed to accept it. Let's make a decision. Let's give your share of the red envelope to Yueyin. She has a lot of expenses in the palace, so this money can be used as a reward for her servants!"

The eldest brother disliked the low-quality wedding banquet in his previous life.

In this life, she can open his eyes and show him what it means to be truly low-class.

Wen Xingluo curved her lips, "How interesting."

The little maid was puzzled, "What did you say?"

Wen Xingluo's smile grew even wider. "Go back and tell Big Brother that I'm willing to help him organize the wedding banquet."

Wen family.

Upon learning that Wen Xingluo agreed, Wen Rufeng felt relieved and laughed heartily, "I knew Xingluo still couldn't let go of me, her dear brother! Second brother, quickly get the money and ask Xingluo to give me a grand and glorious wedding!"

The Wen family's savings were completely consumed in the flood, and they originally had no money to prepare for the wedding. In the end, the two elders of the Xu family secretly gave Wen Rufeng five hundred taels of silver and told him not to bring shame to the two families.

However, Wen Rufeng secretly deducted two hundred taels from it.

A good meal costs only five taels of silver, so three hundred taels is not a small amount.

Wen Ruyun nodded and said, "I'll have someone send the money over right away."

After Wen Rufeng left, Wen Ruyun took a look at the white silver ingots and secretly withheld another two hundred taels.

It's just a marriage, why be so extravagant?

One hundred taels is not a small amount. An ordinary person has never seen so much money in his life.

Wen Ruyun called Wen Yueyin over, "I still have business matters to think about. I'd like to trouble you to go to the Zhenbei Palace and give this money to Wen Xingluo so that she can give big brother a grand and lively wedding banquet."

After he left, Wen Yueyin stared at the silver ingot.
