146. Chapter 146 She Asked and He Answered



"Zhuzhu is my biological sister, so don't be shy, Ajie. There's also Lanzhou and Muling at home... They're all very nice. If you have any questions, just tell Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu cooks delicious food. I don't live with you on weekdays, but I go there almost every day!"

"Yes." Chen Wenjie agreed honestly.

Yan Zhu lifted a corner of the car window and looked out at the street view.

Wen Yu said in the car, and Li Jiang said outside: "Girl, do you see the tall building in front? It's one of the two major casinos in Beijing, the Bafang Casino! It's amazing, I don't know how much money goes in and out every day!"

Bafang Casino, so familiar?

Wen Yu suddenly remembered, "Pull over for a moment, let me take a look!"

The entrance is wide and convenient for parking. Wen Yu parked the car a little further away and stuck her head out to look.

Li Jiang is the tour guide. "Look, it's five stories high! The fourth floor is the VIP room. If you don't have thousands of taels of silver, don't even think about going in! The first floor is the largest, you can look around, but don't make trouble! Otherwise, the strong men outside will beat you up!"

Li Jiang was talking excitedly when someone passing by stopped.

The man was tall, with yellow-black skin, thick eyebrows, and a scar on his face.

He was wearing an exaggerated black mink cape, and followed by several servants. It seemed that he was going to the Bafang Casino.

He glanced at Li Jiang...then looked at Wen Yu whose little face appeared in the car.

He blurted out: "Miss Wen?"

When Wen Yu heard the voice, her heart was moved. She turned around to look... a strange face, who is this? "Why are you here?" He spoke again, and this time Wen Yu understood.

Qi Wu?

Wen Yu blinked hard. It was obviously him, but the person was not right.

"Who are you……"

"Over there, at Yuelai Teahouse, on the third floor, I'll wait for you there..." After saying that, he left.

Li Jiang was quite clever. He took a step forward excitedly and said softly, "Miss...it's Master Wu..."

Wen Yu said, "I understand. Laba, come with me. Li Jiang, send them back and come back here to wait for me."

"Yes." Li Jiang didn't dare to say more.

Laba helped Wen Yu get out of the car.

The master and servant walked forward for a while, and Laba said, "Girl, it seems that we have a tail."

Wen Yu understood as soon as she heard it. It would be strange if she came out without a tail.

She talked to Laba for a few words, then walked slowly, looking at the shops on the roadside. After a while, she arrived at the "Yue Lai" teahouse.

Perhaps someone had given instructions in advance, a waiter, accompanied by a female waitress, greeted Wen Yu warmly.

Laba said a few words to the waiter.

Then, the waitress took Wen Yu to the third floor.

As soon as I came up, the door opened and "Qi Wu" was standing inside.

Neither of them spoke. After Wen Yu went in, Laba closed the door and stayed outside.

Downstairs, a man wanted to enter the store, but he was looking around. The shop assistant asked with a frown: "Are you here to drink tea? Or to buy tea leaves?!"

The man looked at this luxurious teahouse and could do nothing! The waiter blocked the door and wouldn't let him in. He could only smile awkwardly and leave.

The room Wen Yu entered was very big, with a lot of stuff. There was a huge desk against the north wall. There was a large carpet on the floor...

The walls of the room were hung with thick curtains, and many lamps and candles were lit in the room.

There was a charcoal brazier in the middle, which was very warm.

"Please sit down!" Qi Wu said.

Wen Yu took off her cloak, revealing a light pink silk cotton jacket and a pleated skirt underneath.

This was her deliberate gentle dressing in front of her uncle and aunt.

Qi Wu felt at ease, thinking that Wen Yu was very obedient.

Wen Yu looked at Qi Wu carefully and said, "I really can't recognize you like this. How come your face shape has changed?" You've gained some weight as well...

"I got it for something. When did it arrive?"

"Three or four days ago. I wrote to my wife."

"I haven't been home these days."

"Are you checking all directions?"

"yes."

"I have an appointment with my wife. See you tomorrow." Wen Yu smiled.

"Then... this time, mother has to go alone. I can't get away."

If you get away from me, you will go? He is still able to talk this time! "This is your place?!"

"I guess so. If you have any urgent matters, you can send the letter here."

"good."

Qi Wu too.

Once you stop, the atmosphere becomes tense.

The two looked at each other for a while. Qi Wu's makeup was very special, even the shape of his eyes had changed.

But his posture and voice were still familiar to Wen Yu...

For some reason, Wen Yu suddenly wanted to laugh. She laughed a little, but then held it back.

The candlelight reflected the appearance of Wen Yu's daughter. Qi Wu felt like he had drunk two jars of wine...

He was busy after returning home, and had a lot to do every day. However, sometimes before going to bed, the figure of this woman would wander around for no reason...

Feeling his face getting hot, he spoke first: "My mother asked me to go to the Wen family during the New Year."

"Our marriage was arranged by Madam. No one else in your family objects, right?!"

"It's okay. Fourth brother said that after the New Year, the Zhang family's daughter will also go to Beijing."

When he said this, Wen Yu suddenly remembered something important. "I have two things to tell you. Is it convenient for you to listen now?"

"Go ahead."

"I heard that Magistrate Zhang and his brother were suppressed for so many years because they had a grudge against someone?"

"Mr. He."

“Are you still suppressing it now?”

"I don't know about that."

Wen Yu said, "I grew up with the Zhang family's children. Zhang Jiangqing, the son of Prefect Zhang, has already started working. He has helped me a lot. When I came to Beijing, I needed someone who knows the ins and outs and can handle these trivial matters... Do you have a way to transfer him to the capital?"

"I can do these, too."

"Some things are very trivial. I can't always come to you for help."

"Okay, transfer him."

"..." Originally, Wen Yu wanted to polish it a little more to convince him, but he agreed right away. Was that the end of the matter? I felt like I had made light of a heavy task.

"Okay. There is one more thing. I just went to my uncle's house. At the beginning, my uncle's family was implicated in something and fell into decline, so they settled in the capital. Do you know Lord Mo in the court?"

“I’ve heard of it.”

"Well, my uncle is helping him. My little cousin has picked up a lot of bad habits. My uncle's strict discipline has had little effect. I think he is not good at studying. Is there any place where we can throw him in to have some good training? If he learns some skills, he will have something to do in the future. I am worried that if he continues like this, he will be useless."

"How old?"

"Less than fourteen."

"Okay." Qi Wu agreed, "It will be hard at first, but your uncle won't feel bad, will he?!"

"I won't feel bad. But you have to keep a close eye on him and don't let him run away."

"I can't run away. I'll make arrangements after the New Year."

Things were going so smoothly! Wen Yu was relieved and looked at him carefully...

"You are like this, are you doing something dangerous?"

"Mostly they don't want to be recognized. Danger is not that bad! At most, it won't work. At present, there is no danger to their lives."

"That's good... Madam wants to let me take care of the shop!"

"Yeah." Qi Wu didn't care about this matter.

"Laba, you sent him, right?"

"I guess so." Although it was not sent by him, it was almost the same meaning.

"She's quite capable."

"Not bad."

Why do I always have to ask him questions? "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

These questions made Qi Wu a little nervous. What should he say to her?

He blinked his eyes, his mind spinning. What should he say? The more nervous he got, the harder it was for him to think of anything. "Well... next to the shop you and your mother are going to, there is a mutton soup restaurant on the corner. The food is delicious. Why don't you and your mother go there to try it at noon? There are private rooms..."

"At noon, I might go back to the yard I bought to eat. As for the two shops, maybe I'll open a restaurant. Let Madam give me some advice."

"Restaurant? That's great. Grandfather loves food. But after grandma passed away, he had a boring life. When the shop opens, I will take him there to show my support! I will also... bring friends there to eat..."

Well, it’s good enough that you know how to take care of your own business.

"When will you be home?"

"In two days."

The two of them sat there for quite a while, she asked questions and he answered them...
