"Third brother is very kind to me." Wen Lao Er said from the bottom of his heart, "The route map is worth more than 1.5 million taels, it is estimated to be 15 million taels. I wonder what kind of opportunity Third brother got while traveling outside."
Hearing this, a hint of greed appeared in Wen Junhou's eyes, but then he remembered that he had no ability and suppressed his greed.
No wonder the third brother agreed to hand over the route map so readily. He must have known that he couldn't keep it. But what is it? Could it be jade?
If the third brother's route map leads directly to the jade mine, then its value is indeed more than 1.5 million taels, and it will definitely be worth ten or a hundred times that.
Old Lady Wen said, "No matter what kind of opportunity he got, it has nothing to do with us. Second brother! Your third brother gave you this opportunity to help you pay off your gambling debts. What do you plan to do for him?"
"I gave him three hundred taels of silver, but he refused to accept it." Wen Lao Er knew that he would not be kicked out, so he got up from the ground, walked into the house, and sat down in front of the old lady's bed. "The third brother said that he didn't want to be involved with the Wen family."
Old Mrs. Wen shed tears: "Don't bother him recently, just let them live freely in the west of the city. Send someone to look after them secretly. Whether the Wen family can prosper or not depends on him.
Few of your children are outstanding. It is not easy for them to stand out against all odds and make a name for themselves in the capital. Boss! Don’t you think the Wenjunhou Mansion is going downhill?
Look at your grandson, he only knows how to eat all day long. How can such a person inherit the mantle of the Marquis' Mansion in the future? If the Wenjun Marquis' Mansion does not make any more achievements, his title will be stripped.
After you step down, if the next heir to the Marquisate fails to do anything, the Wenjun Marquisate will be downgraded to a Bo's House. If he still has nothing to show for it after three more terms, he will be downgraded to an ordinary citizen."
Wen Junhou and Wen Laoer looked at each other and frowned. They had never thought about this. Old Lady Wen was in charge of all the family affairs. They just had to follow her orders.
This is how I have been living since I was a child.
"I'm old now, and I'm no longer able to help you." Old Madam Wen wiped the tears off her face, "I used to think that we were living a comfortable and wealthy life, but after learning about your third brother, I suddenly realized that the wealth and ease of the Wenjunhou Mansion were like the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water, which would shatter at the slightest touch.
I can still enjoy this wealth, but what about your descendants? Will they be able to enjoy it in the future? If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. Look at the national teacher, look at Fei Ge'er from our third room, and then look at your children. Go back and think about it carefully!"
Old Mrs. Wen got up, washed, and had her meal. She asked the nanny to prepare the car and went to the west of the city.
She deliberately found old clothes to wear, did not wear any expensive jewelry on her head, and tried her best to make herself look like an ordinary old lady.
When she arrived at the door of Wen Jiangli's family, she got off the carriage and knocked on the door.
When Hua opened the door and saw Old Lady Wen, she was still frightened and shocked.
When Old Lady Wen looked at Hua, she was equally surprised. After just a few days of not seeing her, the old look on her face was gone, and her half-gray hair had turned shiny black.
If the facial features of this face had not changed, I would have thought I had recognized the wrong person.
"What's wrong with your face?" The old lady looked at it carefully, then smiled, "Did you find some good medicine?"
Jinglan saw that Hua had been standing at the door and had not returned, so she jumped up and followed her: "Sister-in-law! Who are you talking to?"
Old Madam Wen looked up and saw the lively and lovely woman in a light yellow dress. She smiled and asked, "Are you the sister that the third brother recognized as his adopted sister?"
Jinglan hated Old Lady Wen and pouted: "She is not my adopted sister, but my biological sister. My brother is my biological brother."
Old Mrs. Wen just thought that she wanted to integrate into this family, so she went along with what she said.
"Okay, okay, it's my biological sister! My biological sister!" After saying that, he looked at Hua and said, "I came to see you. I heard that Fei Ge'er passed the Tongsheng exam. I'm so happy."
She no longer had her previous attitude and was very approachable, which surprised Hua.
But she didn't know whether she should be allowed in because the master was out and not at home.
What if he comes back and isn’t happy to see the old lady?
Since moving here, their family has become much happier.
Although the house was rented, it was still his own home, which was much better than living in the servants' room in the mansion of Marquis Wenjun and being ordered around by others.
"The master is out and not here." Hua didn't want Old Madam Wen to come in, but she didn't dare to refuse her in person.
Old Mrs. Wen knew that she didn't want to entertain herself, so she said shamelessly and kindly: "I'm not looking for the third brother, and it's the same for you. I just want to see how you are doing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already walked into the door.
There is a small courtyard at the entrance, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides, which is very clean.
Hua's daughter-in-law Jiang was washing clothes. When she saw the old lady coming, she stood up awkwardly, bowed to her and said nothing.
Old Mrs. Wen was surprised to find that Jiang's dry yellow hair and dark skin had completely changed.
Her hair is black and shiny, and her skin is so tender that you can pinch water out of it.
Wen Zhengfei, who was in the room, heard the noise and came out, which surprised Mrs. Wen even more. It turned out that this child was so handsome.
The scars on his face were gone, and he looked exactly like the third brother. He seemed to have grown a lot taller after not seeing him for a few days. The family members were thin, but they were all energetic and rosy-cheeked, as if they had taken magic pills.
You know what, Old Lady Wen was right in her guess. They all really took the elixir.
Jinglan took it out and saw her brother and sister-in-law, her eldest nephew, her niece-in-law, and especially her two little nephews and grandnephews. She felt so distressed at how thin and in poor health they were.
She took out a handful of solid Peiyuan pills, which her parents had given her as candy pills, and gave one to each person in the family. After eating them, everyone felt much better.
The next day, each person was given another pill so that their bodies could get adequate nourishment.
They had just moved in and few people had seen them, so even if there were any major physical changes, no one would suspect anything.
Don't be afraid even if someone suspects you, Jinglan will protect them well.
When she was a child, her brother always protected her. Now it's her turn to protect her brother, and she is very happy.
She had secretly sent the message back using a sound transmission note last night. Her parents must be very happy to know that she had found her brother.
Old Mrs. Wen walked over with a smile, took Wen Zhengfei's hand, looked at him carefully, and liked him more and more the more she looked.
"I heard that you passed the examination and became a student. Great-grandmother is very happy for you. Fei Ge'er! You are great."
Wen Zhengfei stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. Mrs. Wen had learned her lesson now and didn't dare to force him to do anything. Seeing that he was uncomfortable, she immediately let him go.
He came to Hua and took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to her: "If you like this yard, buy it. It will make you feel comfortable living in your own home."
Jinglan looked at the banknote and asked Hua: "Sister-in-law, what is this paper used for?"
