Chapter 619 Is this what it means to treat money as dirt?
Not to mention Wan Quan, even Wan Laoer and Bai Zhi Ban Xia were stunned by Fu Bao's words.
A sentence popped up in Banxia and Baizhi's minds at the same time: Is this what it means to treat money as dirt?
The way both of them looked at Fubao changed at this moment. Miss Fubao really had a deep brotherly love for the general.
After being surprised, Wan Laoer finally realized that Fubao did seem to have said that he would prepare a betrothal gift for Quan'er, but there was no sign of the daughter-in-law yet. Wasn't it a little early to give the betrothal gift?
"My dear, isn't it too early for you to prepare a betrothal gift for your elder brother? Shouldn't you first ask someone to find a girl of equal status for your elder brother?"
Fu Bao waved his little hand, "It's already been found, the two of them have already met, but the girl is in some trouble, and needs a big brother to help her, it's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other better, hehe."
"Already met? How come I didn't know? When did it happen?" Wan Lao Er looked confused the whole time.
"Dad, now is not the time to talk about this. For the sake of the girl's reputation, I can't tell you yet. You will know in a few days."
"After a few days? My daughter, aren't we going back to the border?" Wan Laoer asked anxiously. He wanted to go back to the border to see his family as soon as possible. They had been away for several months and he was extremely anxious.
"Dad, it may take more than a few days. Big brother's business is not over yet. I can't leave."
Fubao looked at Wan Laoer in embarrassment. She also wanted to go home quickly, but this was related to her elder brother's lifelong happiness. She couldn't just give up just to go home a few days earlier.
Wan Lao Er hesitated for a moment before asking, "When can we leave?"
"Well, at least half a month."
Wan Quan was very happy. He didn't care why Fubao stayed. As long as he could stay with him for a while, he would be happy.
"Uncle, don't worry. I will write a letter home to reassure Grandma and Auntie. Tell them you are here with me. They shouldn't worry."
Wan Lao Er sighed, "That's all I can do. I've been away for a few months, and I don't know how things are going at home. And your fourth uncle, Shuang'er, and Er Gouzi are running the family business. Now I don't know if the business is dead or has taken off. I'm really worried."
"Dad, don't worry, everything will be fine at home. Just wait for you to come back and collect the money. Fourth uncle is very capable, and so are my twin brothers."
After hearing his daughter's words of comfort, Wan Laoer's uneasy feeling instantly subsided a lot.
"If it's really like what you said, Daddy will be relieved. Let's quickly clean up and go eat. I'm hungry after working for most of the day."
Wan Laoer took a look at the room and saw that it was full of things. He had to tidy them up, as all the things cost money.
"Uncle, pack your things first, but I don't want these things. When you return to the border, I will hire an escort company to go back with you and take all these back with you."
After saying this, Wan Quan bent down and started to clean up.
"Quan'er, it's no use talking to your uncle about these things. This is a matter between you two siblings, and your uncle won't get involved."
Wan Laoer has now cleared himself of all charges, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
Wanquan looked at Fubao again, and saw Fubao's big eyes looking at him with a determined look, which made him suddenly not know what to say.
Banxia and Baizhi were very surprised. How could this family not love money? It was rare to see so much money being pushed back and forth. In those big families, weren't they all fighting and deceiving each other? How could the people in the general's mansion be so generous? This was not just a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver, but a priceless sum.
But in their eyes, such a large amount of money was like a worn-out shoe, and they actually pushed it away from each other.
Wanquan had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. After all, there was still half a month left. Since Fubao said that this was a betrothal gift prepared for him, if he didn't get married by then, how could there be a betrothal gift? He could then find an excuse that he was often away from home and that there was no place for so much money at home, and transport the treasures back to the border.
Wan Quan had made up his mind and had almost packed up his things. He said to Fu Bao and Wan Lao Er, "Second Uncle, Sister, let's go eat. Let's send these things to the warehouse first."
They restored everything to its original state, and after much thought, they decided that the gold bricks and luminous pearls would be safest if they were placed in the interlayer of the box.
Moreover, everyone in the mansion is Wanquan's man. All the people in the mansion are remnants of soldiers who retreated from the battlefield. They are all loyal to Wanquan. After all, they depend on Wanquan for the rest of their lives, and no one is willing to betray Wanquan.
After putting away their things, they went to the dining room to eat. By this time, an hour had passed.
After dinner, Fubao did not rush to sleep. She wrote another prescription and gave it to Banxia.
"Sister Banxia, today we rescued a sister in Qinxiang Garden. I checked her pulse and found that she was poisoned by a chronic poison. If she hadn't met me when she fell into the water, her internal organs would have been invaded by the poison in a month. Fubao likes to save people to the end. Sister Banxia, could you please give this prescription to that sister?"
Banxia took the prescription, put it on her body without even looking at it.
"Miss, I can definitely do what you tell me to do, but do you have any other information about the person you mentioned?"
Fu Bao shook his head and said, "No, I didn't ask at the time, but don't worry, Sister Banxia, you can go to Qinxiang Garden and ask and you will know."
"Well, I'll go right away."
"Sister Banxia, wait a minute. You know that Qinxiang Garden is a place that ordinary people can't enter, right? I went there today and saw that it seemed that only powerful people could enter. Sister Banxia, are you ready to go in?"
"Don't worry, young lady. I have my own way."
"If you can't get into Qinxiang Garden, I have another idea. You can go to a teahouse and have a cup of tea to find out. Anything happening in Qinxiang Garden should be the topic of conversation in the teahouses. Something like this happened today, and those people in the teahouse will definitely talk about it. Sister Banxia will probably know it after just a little listening. Qinxiang Garden is a bit far from our general's mansion, and it will take a lot of effort for Sister Banxia to go there."
"Thank you for your reminder, Miss. I will go right away."
After Banxia left, Fubao was helped to bed by Baizhi.
After Fubao stopped sleeping with Wan Laoer, only Heituan slept with Fubao.
But Wan Laoer did not allow Fubao to carry Heituan to bed. Heituan was too dirty. He had not been taken with him for the past two days. Heituan had become like a little stray dog, with the hair all over his body stuck together. He needed a good bath.
Heituan lies next to Fubao's shoes every night, sleeping soundly while smelling the scent of his little master.
Banxia left the general's mansion and turned two streets before arriving at a teahouse. This teahouse had an excellent location, right in the east city. It was still open and there were people telling stories inside.
Banxia pushed the door open and walked in. The waiter inside enthusiastically found a seat for her, brought her a pot of good tea and went downstairs. At this moment, everyone was listening attentively to the storyteller, who was telling a story about a man who was in love with a woman, but in the end they were separated by the woman's parents.
Banxia felt that these storytellers were just making up stories. How could a real lady from an aristocratic family meet a poor scholar? They probably wouldn't even meet him, so they were just trying to trick the common people.
