Chapter 273: Cursing for more than an hour
After sitting in the princess's mansion for a while, the two said goodbye.
Wen Yan sent Wen Xiuyun back to the Wen family.
On the way, Wen Xiuyun snorted, "You're so generous that you actually asked me to come along. Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your limelight in front of the Concubine Dowager?"
Wen Yan chuckled: "If you can snatch it away, it means you are capable; if you can't, you will be humiliated."
"You are quite confident." Wen Xiuyun looked at Wen Yan with eyes that were not eyes and nose that were not nose.
"It's not that I'm confident, it's that you're too stupid. From childhood to adulthood, every time you tried to steal my thunder, you had no wit or tricks at all, and you only stupidly practiced your skills.
Tsk tsk tsk, tell me, do I really need to be on guard against someone as stupid as you?"
"Ah... Wen Yan, I'm not done with you!" Wen Xiuyun rushed over, grabbed Wen Yan's cheeks and pulled them apart, "Even getting married can't cure your sharp tongue. Today I'll let you know how powerful I am!"
"Wen Xiuyun, I am your second sister. You are a traitor and a traitor to your superiors. I will pull your hair loose."
Ying Zhilin heard the noise inside and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Wen Yan can still be so lively and sharp-tongued sometimes.
Sure enough, only by following her more can you get to know more about her.
When Wen Xiuyun got off the carriage, he snorted at Wen Yan, "Don't think I'll be grateful to you. Just consider this as a thank you gift for that night when you tricked me into being your witness."
Wen Yan's feet were itchy and he really wanted to kick her down.
As the carriage drove away from the Wen Mansion, Ying Zhilin asked in confusion, "Of the entire Wen family, why are you the only one helping Wen Xiuyun?"
Wen Yan couldn't help laughing when she thought of Wen Xiuyun: "Of course it's because she is stupid enough.
When she was little, she would compete with me in embroidery skills and talent, and she would lock herself up at home all day long, studying poetry and practicing her craft.
Wen Xiuyun returned to the Wen family, and before she had time to wash and change clothes, she was called to the front yard by the maid.
Wen's father asked her nervously, "How was it? Did you get to see Concubine Gong?"
Wen Xiuyun touched the pearl hairpin on her head and said, "This was given to me by the Concubine Dowager."
"That is to say, Wen Xiuyun has already caught the eye of Concubine Gong."
Wen's father was very happy and told Wen Xiuyun to behave well in the future and strive to replace Wen Yan's position in Concubine Gong's heart in the morning.
"My daughter will always remember her father's teachings." Wen Xiuyun and her father Wen were like a loving father and a filial daughter.
Jiang Xinkui was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Pei'er returned to Songshan Village.
When Chief Ying learned that Ying Zhilin had successfully passed the exam, he breathed a sigh of relief and lifted the ban on the village.
The people who were specifically responsible for guarding the Lao Ying family also retreated.
Chief Ying was glad that he was quick enough. When he sent people to seal off the village, the old Ying family members were just about to run to the capital to cause trouble.
Apart from the fixed portion for the craftsmen, he distributed the rest of the large cart of festival gifts equally to every household in the village.
It is a debt of gratitude to take favors from others.
Those who had complaints about the village closure shut up.
The only people in the village who were unhappy were the old Ying family.
Mrs. Qiao stood at the door with her hands on her hips, cursing for over an hour until her voice became hoarse.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the old Ying family, Qiao Dashuang, pinched Mrs. Qiao's shoulders and said angrily, "Mother, that Ying Zhilin is such a jerk. Are we really going to let him go like this?"
Mrs. Qiao said angrily, "The exam is over? What else can we do? Do we have to go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor?"
Ying Lao San's wife, Hu Youzhu, rolled her eyes and sighed, "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder how my younger sister is doing out there?
Is she in danger? Is she well fed? Is she warm? Can she have a good meal tomorrow for the festival?
When Mrs. Qiao thought of her little daughter who was outside and didn't know whether she was alive or dead, the anger that she had just vented came out again.
“No, we can’t let that damned scourge go easily.
"Hasn't the results been announced yet? When they are, we'll go to the capital and expose him!"
Time flies.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in the blink of an eye.
The capital city is exceptionally lively.
Wen Yan took Ying Zhilin and his two siblings to Aunt Shuang's residence to celebrate the festival together.
It’s more lively with more people!
Aunt Shuang and her family live in a two-story house in the civilian area in the south of the city.
Wen Yan bought this place after receiving her first dividend from her business with Meng Chifei.
As the foundation of her life.
The yard is spacious and there are many rooms.
Aunt Shuang lived in the backyard with her two sisters Qinghe and Lixia.
Four uncles live in the front yard.
Ying Zhilin didn't expect that Wen Yan had such a base.
When the sky is filled with sunset glow, the delicacies are served and the banquet begins.
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate: "It's a pity that Uncle Lin and Uncle Tian are still in Jinyang Prefecture, otherwise we would be truly reunited."
"It's okay. By the Spring Festival, there will definitely be everyone there."
"Then let's work together for the Spring Festival reunion." Everyone clinked their glasses.
The whole dinner was pleasant and relaxing.
After dinner, they went out together to watch the lantern festival.
Wen Yan and Uncle Hu walked at the end.
Wen Yan said, "Uncle Hu, do you remember Manager Cui?"
"The owner of Tianyi Cloth Shop? Of course I know him. We'll meet in a few days to make a delivery."
"It's not him." Wen Yan shook her head. "It was the middle-aged man who bought Pei'er when we went to rescue Hui Niang."
"The one I caught in a net and hung on a tree, leaving it wet in the rain for most of the night?" Uncle Hu remembered it immediately.
"That's him!" Wen Yan continued, "I've told you before that Manager Cui is suspicious. Now I want you to lurk around him."
"Leave this little thing to me." Uncle Hu patted his chest and promised.
Wen Yan said, "That Manager Cui is very cunning, you should be careful.
Also, when you said you wanted to take Pei'er back home to marry your idiot brother, he would definitely ask about it after you met him. You just said your family was too poor and sold Pei'er for money. You only had the audacity to go to him because your family couldn't make ends meet.
Remember, you must quickly gain his trust and gain access to his shady dealings."
And the Huo family at this time.
In consideration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Marquis allowed Wen Ruyue to come out of the ancestral hall early so that the whole family could have a reunion dinner together.
Wen Ruyue sat in front of the mirror and put on her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror.
The ink on his face had faded a lot, and it should be completely removed before Concubine Lan's birthday.
She asked the maid, "Any news about orchids and spices?"
The maid suddenly became nervous: "Not yet... not yet..."
Her face turned gloomy in an instant.
Things have been going wrong lately.
Huo Yaoxing felt resentful towards her.
The father-in-law thought she was hindering the prince's future.
If you want Huo Yaoxing to be dependent on you, you have to make yourself more valuable.
so.
She must hold on tightly to the big tree of Concubine Lan.
From then on, she became Huo Yaoxing's support.
"Find more people. Even if you have to turn the capital upside down, you must find the things for me."
August 21st is Concubine Lan’s birthday.
As time went by, Wen Ruyue became more and more anxious.
There was more and more discussion in the capital about Concubine Lan's birthday.
