Chapter 66: Close Friend



It didn't take long for Wen Yu to sort out, receive, and classify the industries in his hands and make the decision to integrate them.

The teahouse mentioned to Song Shang was also sold at a very good price.

Wen Yu and Yan Zhu secretly counted the money they received for a long time... But even if they added the ten thousand yuan given by Wen Qian, if they bought the red coral hairpin, there would be nothing left...

Wen Yu held her cheek and sighed: I am so poor, I still have to think of a way!

But she never thought that these more than 20,000 taels of silver were enough for a middle-class family to live a wealthy life.

Mrs. Wen has also been cleaning up the family business recently, but because it involves so many aspects, it can't be completed in a short time, so she is busy all day long. Mrs. Wu also has to follow.

There was no one to look after the girls, so they could just let the sheep grow. As long as they had enough people, they could go out.

Wen Yu took Yan Zhu to Cailuan Pavilion and lingered in the store, talking to Master Qing when he was not busy. She felt that her horizons had been broadened a lot. This made Manager Liu always secretly watch.

After just two days of being in the beautiful city, Old Lady Wen informed everyone that the family would go to the Wen family villa in Tianlong Town in advance and asked the girls to pack their things as they would be staying there for nearly ten days.

This was much earlier than expected, and Wen Yu wondered: Why go so early? Soon Xiao Ji found out that the Wen family had a villa in Tianlong Town, and the old lady was interested in selling it.

In the past few days, many Chinese people have been coming in and out excitedly.

This time, it is probably the last time I live there.

Moreover, this was also facilitated by Wu! Because this time, Wen Feng accompanied him.

Recently, Wen Feng has been going to that legendary beautiful widow too often! Apparently he hasn't gotten her yet, because he's scratching his head, feeling restless, and has an expression that says "I'm in love"...

It seems like a trend that is getting more and more concerned.

Wu had already inquired about it and heard that the widow was "very well-behaved" on weekdays, had a lot of wealth, was capable, and was good-looking.

And he ignored Wen Feng's attempts to flirt with her.

But if he really ignored her, why would there always be a chance for Wen Feng to get close to him?

Isn't this a play of playing hard to get? Mrs. Wu knows her husband too well. No matter how good he is, once he gets his hands on her, it's almost done.

He is the type who fears trouble the most. If someone bothers him, he will immediately throw them away.

But if you keep it like this, maybe he will really take it to heart.

What if he foolishly fell for the trick and brought the girl into his home? This widow had managed property and given birth to children before, so she must be experienced.

It’s not that easy to get it back!

So, she urged the old lady to go out early. Let them separate and talk about it after a while! Wen Yu was worried that Liu Lanfang's matter had not been settled yet, and then a letter came from there.

Zhang Jiangqing finally succeeded, and Sun Ying took Li Jiang and Li He directly back to the Wen family.

When Wen Yu heard this, she was so excited that she went to the second gate in person.

Li Jiang said, "Miss, there are five boxes in total." He pointed to the car.

"Okay, you've worked hard. Come move in!"

Before, in order to sort out the things her mother left behind, she had already cleared out a small room in her yard that was just big enough to hold them.

After putting the things away, I asked about the process. Li Jiang was very talkative and talked for a long time with a beaming face...

In short, if you have money, things will be easier!

Li Jiang finally said, "Master Zhang said that the family who left the things there were very nice people, but their life was hard. He bought some food and bacon and left them there. Then Master Zhang said that he would give the family one tael of silver every month and visit them once every three months."

Wen Yu nodded: "He is thoughtful. Remember this, you will do it in the future!"

"yes."

As soon as the things were in hand, Wen Yu sent a letter to Liu Lanfang, asking her to "draw the patterns".

As a result, the Liu family said that she couldn't come because of something.

Wen Yu posted another message, saying that if she couldn't come, she would bring her friends to visit.

When Mrs. Liu saw the letter, she was angry, but she didn't dare to provoke anyone.

So, Liu Lanfang came.

She looked very bad, and was accompanied by a woman with a pretentious expression.

"Afang, where is my brother?!" Wen Yu asked Liu Lanzhou first when she saw Liu Lanfang.

"He didn't come. Ayu, I can't stay here. After seeing all the tricks... I have to go back." He made a look.

"Qinghe, go make a pot of good tea, bring a plate of snacks, and entertain this mother at the Peony Pavilion." Wen Yu gave the order and immediately sent the old woman out of the yard.

The old woman was unwilling: "Miss Wen, you don't have to be polite. I will finish my work with my young lady and go back as soon as possible!"

"We are going to my boudoir. What? Do you want to go in too?" Wen Yu was even more pretentious than her. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and looked as if she didn't even bother to look at him.

The old woman looked at the beautiful girl in front of her. She was extremely clean and had a faint fragrance all over her body.

Then look at the carpets in other people’s houses and the muddy shoes on your feet.

And that hair that hasn’t been washed for days… Ouch! Hehehe laughed.

Just as Qing He was about to open her mouth, Xiao Ji spoke first, "Mother, let's not talk about my daughter's snacks. This tea is new this year, and your master may not be able to drink it! Don't give you respect, but you won't take it!"

Oh, the fat girl always has a fawning smile on her face on weekdays, but when she frowns, she looks really amazing!

At this moment, she is also here.

I couldn't help but secretly hate Xiaoji. How could this fat guy talk so fast? How annoying!

The old woman said quickly, "Oh, it's the old woman who doesn't know what's good for her! Don't blame me, young lady. Go and try some fresh food!" She thought, what else could happen to two young ladies? So she followed Qinghe.

Wen Yu pulled Liu Lanfang into the house and asked about the family situation for a long time. Liu Lanfang tried hard to act normal, but she couldn't do it.

Although she felt it was difficult to say it out loud, there was nothing she could do. Wen Yu had to tell Liu Lanfang the news she had heard.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lanfang was not surprised or scared. She just smiled bitterly, shook her head and said nothing.

"Fortunately, the stuff has been brought here. It's all in the hut next door. Shall we go and count it?!"

Liu Lanfang whispered, "Ayu, actually, there's really no need to count! But I'm afraid you'll feel uneasy... just take a look. Then leave after you're done."

The two men entered the small room next door and saw five identical black boxes.

Liu Lanfang rushed over, as if to throw herself into her mother's arms, and gently stroked the box with both hands, with an expression of infinite sorrow...

"Afang, the locks are rusted and there is no key, so I asked them to pry them off first." Wen Yu opened one herself. There was a layer of dustproof cloth on top and hard velvet cloth underneath. When she lifted them up, she saw small partitions inside.

In each small compartment, there is a piece of jewelry. It is very exquisite and still shiny after so many years.

Liu Lanfang watched, tears streaming down her face.

There are two layers in the box, with six compartments on each layer, so there are twelve pieces of jewelry.

He opened another box and found four compartments inside, which turned out to be four bronze artifacts with simple shapes and exquisite patterns.

On the lower level, there are several ancient bronze mirrors, with rust on the mirror surface. They are not used for reflection, but for collection.

Although each piece is small in size, it is quite exquisite.

Wen Yu had been with Song Shang before, and had seen a lot. She knew that this was very valuable and easy to sell!

"Afang, these are all good stuff!"

Liu Lanfang burst into tears, and Wen Yu hugged her gently without saying a word.

"Ayu, I miss my mom and dad!"

"I know……"

The next box contained some toys... fans, knitted silk threads, etc. Some girly toys. There was also an ivory chess set...

Her mother was really rich! Even the things left by my own mother were not as exquisite as this...

There was another box, which turned out to be half a box of small gold ingots.

No wonder it's so heavy...

The last box contained a bright red embroidered wedding gown and a peony flower veil.

Liu Lanfang could not stand any longer and fell to her knees... "Mother... Mother..." She lay on the ground, crying bitterly.

Wen Yu couldn't stop her tears, "Afang, Afang...your mother cares about you and your brother. She is ill, but she has thought of a way out for you two. So, you have to be strong. No matter how difficult it is, you have to grit your teeth. Maybe things will get better!"

"I can do anything on my own. But my brother...Ayu!" Liu Lanfang pulled Wen Yu's skirt, "Ayu, you are my best friend, please, if anything happens to me..." She knelt down and turned to Wen Yu.

"Afang! Don't talk nonsense!" Wen Yu wiped her tears and became anxious.

"Ayu, listen to me first! I'm just saying... If anything really happens to me, I'll leave my brother to you! Take all these things, just don't let him starve and don't let anyone bully him! Wuuuuuu..."

Wen Yu was so sad that she couldn't speak. She just shook her head, faced Liu Lanfang, and knelt down.

"There's no need to find him a wife. He can't beat anyone else... If he goes to find our parents early, then all this property will belong to you."

Wen Yu hugged her: "Afang, although I don't allow you to talk nonsense. But, I, Wen Yu, swear to heaven: I am keeping this property for you and my younger brother, it belongs to you and my younger brother! Wen Yu will never embezzle it. If you have an accident, I will never abandon Liu Lanzhou. I will take good care of him for the rest of his life! In case, you are all gone, then this property... I will bury you and your parents together. Every Qingming Festival and October 1st, I will give you lots of gold and silver clothes for winter! If you break the oath..."

Liu Lanfang immediately covered her mouth: "Alright! Ah Yu, your words are enough, I believe you!"

I will pay you back in my next life for what I owe you! Liu Lanfang went to look at something else, and after he finished looking at one, he closed it again.

Wen Yu wrote a certificate next to it, indicating that these things were kept by her on behalf of Liu Lanfang.

There are two copies, both people sign and put their fingerprints on it, and each takes one copy.

Liu Lanfang took another portion of the flower-shaped dish and left in a hurry. As soon as she left the house, she stuffed the dish in her hand into her mouth and ate it.

Wen Yu's oath is enough... This proof cannot be kept.

Wen Yu cried for a long time in her room.

Yan Zhu sat beside her and cried with her...

I have been really happy these two days, with many friends leaving messages, sending tickets and giving me rewards.

There are old friends and new friends.

This makes me feel that I am very capable and important.

Thank you! Thank you!   It’s just that I felt very sad when writing this chapter today. I even shed tears…
