Chapter 613: Beautiful and Intelligent?
As he spoke, Old Xu bowed solemnly once more: "Thanks to the medicine given by the Fourth Young Master, my wife was able to escape danger. Although I have nothing of value, I am offering this as a gift to express my gratitude. I hope the Fourth Young Master will not despise it."
Wen Jiu met Xu Lao's cloudy eyes, and finally smiled and said: "Xu Lao, then I will respectfully obey your order. I thank you for this, but I am intoxicated by this."
Wen Jiu knew that there must be something rare in this package. Obviously, Xiao Jin couldn't wait to climb onto his shoulders and stick out his little butt to smell it. The corners of his mouth were almost pulled to his ears with laughter!
"Mr. Xu, how is Madam's health? Is she getting better?"
Seeing that she had accepted the warm wine, Old Xu smiled. When he heard her ask about his wife, his smile deepened. He said, "She's been feeling much better lately. She ate two bowls of rice yesterday, and the whole family was delighted. She's been with me since she was young and has suffered a lot. Now that she's in her old age, it really makes me unhappy to see her unhappy. It's better for her to vent her anger with me in the past..."
"Oh, look at me, I'm a little old now and always like to nag. I'm afraid the Fourth Young Master can't stand listening to these..." Old Xu smiled embarrassedly.
"Fourth Young Master, you may not know this, but my good friend and his first wife are a young couple. He always mentions his wife every three sentences. Please don't be offended."
Mr. Meng also helped to explain.
Wen Jiu smiled and shook his head. "Mr. Xu and his wife have a very close relationship. I feel very benefited from listening to them. It is a blessing and a skill to have a good partner to spend a lifetime with. Luo Si admires it."
Upon hearing this, Old Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "The most accomplished thing in my life is choosing such a wife."
The words about warming the wine opened up Old Xu's chatterbox, and he started talking about his wife.
He only talked about how naughty he was in his youth, how he had squandered his family fortune on a life of debauchery. He also said that he had fallen in love with the lady at a poetry gathering. She came from a good family and was even more talented. She was the most beautiful girl in the capital, and he insisted on marrying her.
He also talked about how his wife used a big stick to discipline him, how she improved the family tradition, and how she earned back the family fortune.
"Time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, fifty years have already passed. We are all old now."
Old Xu sighed, then turned to look at Wen Jiu: "Fourth Young Master, I wonder if you are willing to get married?"
Wen Jiu had been listening with great interest, but he didn't expect this person to suddenly bring up this. After a pause, he nodded and said, "Luo has married. His wife is a good woman and a very virtuous person. She takes care of all the big and small things in the family very well."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master, who were watching the fun, looked at each other.
Jiu Ye said: "Life is good."
The Tenth Master said, "Very virtuous?"
Jiu Ye: "...still okay?"
The image of Fourth Master's face, covered in ice chips, flashed through Ninth Master's mind, and he shuddered. It was too scary.
".....Gentlemen, what are you doing..." Old Xu was a little confused for a moment.
Wen Jiu glanced back at the two of them and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu. They are also very satisfied with their fourth sister-in-law and are full of praise for her."
Old Xu nodded: "So that's the case. Your Madam must be a beautiful and intelligent person."
"Puff..." Jiu Ye: "Beautiful and intelligent..."
Master Shi: "...beautiful and intelligent!"
Mr. Xu: “…”
Mr. Meng: “”
Wen Jiu: "Yeah, beautiful and intelligent."
Old Xu and Old Meng looked at each other, and finally decided not to disturb them any further and said goodbye.
After leaving the house, Old Xu couldn't help but sigh, "Old Meng, this Fourth Young Master is a young hero. No wonder everyone has been talking about him lately. It's just a pity that he got married so early."
Elder Meng was amused. "You, when you asked me just now, I guessed that was your idea. The Fourth Young Master is a rare talent, and he seems to enjoy hearing about your trivial matters with his wife. He knows that he should be very devoted to his wife. Were you thinking of having him marry Yanran? Now, I'm afraid he can't think of it anymore, but his two younger brothers look young, so I think they would be suitable."
"No." Old Xu shook his head like a rattle. "The Fourth Young Master's two younger brothers don't seem very bright. I don't think Yanran would like it. They always like to repeat themselves. What's wrong with them?"
Elder Meng: "...Ninth Young Master wasn't like this before."
Mr. Xu: "That won't work either. Let's just forget it."
......
Wen Jiu had just seen off her two old friends when she saw people from the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce coming to deliver some silver bills.
Good heavens, I was so engrossed in the conversation that I forgot about the auction.
Today, this pearl of Ganoderma lucidum was auctioned for 320,000 taels of silver, and a ginseng was auctioned for 190,000 taels of silver, with a total profit of 510,000 taels. Wenjiu was still very satisfied.
Including the previous amount, I now have 2.6 million taels of silver. This is enough to exchange for two low-grade spirit stones.
In order to ensure the value of the medicinal materials, she only sells three of each type at most. To be honest, she is afraid that she will not be able to sell this precious medicinal material again in the short term, otherwise it will attract attention.
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, it's really easy for you to make money. Where on earth did you get all these precious medicinal herbs?" Jiu Ye looked at the box of banknotes that Wen Jiu had left and couldn't help but say, "It's only been a few days, and you've already made as much as I have."
"Don't ask where it came from. It took me a lot of effort to get it." Wen Jiu paused and said, "This is just a passing fee. I can't keep it. It's extremely difficult to catch up with your wealth."
Seeing that Jiu Ye still had a suspicious look on his face, Wen Jiu coughed lightly and said, "It's still early, let's go and see our old sweetheart, shall we?"
When Master Jiu heard Wenjiu mention this, he nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up, or else Fourth Brother might be back."
After all, it wasn't a good idea to keep selling dim sum at Zuixianlou. Xiao Sisao happened to have some free time recently, so she and I started opening two dim sum shops. Xiao Sisao chose the name: Old Time Sweetheart.
"Fourth Young Master, Ninth Young Master, Tenth Young Master, you are here? Come on, take a seat." As soon as he entered the Old Sweetheart, the shopkeeper went out to greet him.
"Fourth Young Master, this is burnt milk tea. It's just made. Would you like to try it?" The shopkeeper was a woman with a beautiful face. At this moment, she held her chin with both hands, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Wenjiu.
"Fourth brother... as soon as you came, you saw that the shopkeeper couldn't even see us..." Jiu Ye said silently. It was obvious that he was the one who rescued the shopkeeper, okay?
Come to think of it, even when he was with the real Fourth Brother, he had never been ignored like this.
If this little fourth sister-in-law is really a man, what will happen? I'm afraid she will be surrounded and have sachets thrown at her.
