Chapter 89: A Draw
Two days later, Meng Jin really sent someone to deliver compensation.
Several large wooden boxes were filled with various antique porcelains. Butler Li roughly counted them and found that there were dozens of pieces.
However, although these are antiques, they are not very valuable.
There was also a list of these antiques in the box, and Butler Li opened it and took a look.
"Wow, every antique here actually has a provenance. They're either from myths or used by famous people. They really look like they were there."
He handed the list to Wen Wan, who stroked the words with her fingers and chuckled.
"Oh, these stories must have been made up by Meng Jin. Look at the marks, they look like they were just written."
Steward Li sighed, "Lord Meng is giving us a taste of his own medicine. We said the broken antiques were priceless, and he gave us a batch of 'priceless' antiques. This barter not only silenced us, but also justified our actions."
Wen Wan was not surprised, "He is indeed a smart man."
Butler Li was now very impressed with Wen Wan and flattered her, "Miss Xiaowan is also very clever. You killed two birds with one stone and made him go through so much trouble to search but found nothing."
Wen Wan smiled faintly and waved her hands, "It's okay, I just tied with him."
Draw?
Butler Li twitched the corner of his mouth.
As a woman, you dare to say that you are on par with the top scholar who has won three first prizes in a row. You are really not modest at all.

The Shen Mansion is not an ordinary place. After Meng Jin searched it once, there was no chance for him to search it a second time.
To be on the safe side, the border town garrison also specially dispatched a team of troops to guard the Shen Mansion.
Governor Wu cooperated with Meng Jin for a few days and put the search on hold, using the excuse that it was disturbing the public. The border town returned to its former tranquility.
I don’t know if Meng Jin gave up looking for them, but for the next half month, their people didn’t make any movement at all, and were so quiet that it was almost weird.
Wen Wan eats on time, takes medicine on time, sleeps on time, and takes great care of her eyes.
Now, her eyesight has recovered to 70% to 80%.
She thought that after taking the medicine for another half a month, she should be able to fully recover.
During this period of time, she drank more medicine than she ate food. It was simply a lifelong nightmare.
Fortunately, she survived.
As Qingming Festival approaches, the sky is always gloomy and it seems like it will rain at any time.
Wen Wan yawned, lay back on the couch, rested her head on her hands, and looked at the elm tree that was sticking out from the courtyard wall in the distance.
"Wait another two or three months, and then we can pick the elm seeds from the trees and make pancakes with them."
Chen Zhou was cleaning nearby and was not surprised when he heard this.
"Sister Xiaowan, you've almost eaten everything around this yard that's not deadly. If you keep eating like this, when the general and Brother Chai come back, I'm afraid that the little salary Brother Chai earns will have to be paid to General Shen."
Wen Wan was dissatisfied and curled her lips and said, "You are really worried about your brother Chai."
Chen Zhou stopped and sighed while holding the broom. "What else can I do if I don't worry about it? There are still mute women and younger brothers and sisters in the side yard to support. Mute women are old, and Brother Chai is not here. You, you..."
"What's wrong with me? You want to say I'm a loser?"
Wen Wan sat up and said, "I feel that my ability has been insulted by you."
Chen Zhou laughed dryly and said perfunctorily, "No."
Wen Wan snorted coldly, "You little brat, you don't understand anything."
"My eyes were injured before, so I couldn't show my true strength. Just wait, after Meng Jin and his group leave, I will open a shop and do business. With my marketing skills, I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run. I will definitely be able to make a lot of money easily like other fellow villagers and reach the pinnacle of life."
She is also planning a bright future.
When I turned around, I found that everyone on the sinking boat had disappeared.
Wen Wan: "You little brat, you have so little confidence in me!"
This shows a complete lack of faith in her ability to make money.
However, this is not his fault. Thinking carefully, she traveled through time for three years, and it seemed...
Never earned a penny of your own?
The only huge sum of money was obtained by coaxing and deceiving Achai.
"Blame me." Wen Wan lay back down, smiling without feeling ashamed: "This is God's gift, allowing me to live a peaceful and happy life, so... forget it, I'm just a waste."
After comforting herself, she shouted towards the kitchen.
"Chen Zhou, I want to eat celery dumplings tonight."
"knew!"
Although she complained, Chen Zhou would always try his best to meet Wen Wan's requests.
That night, Chen Zhou not only made celery dumplings for her, but also made pancakes with celery filling for her.
Agui came back late, and as soon as he entered the door, he was stimulated by the smell of celery in the air and stopped in his tracks.
"Is this a celery dinner tonight?"
He, Shen Zhou and Wen Wan have been together for a long time, and now they speak to each other in a gentle manner.
Chen Zhou bit the dumpling and pursed his lips towards Wen Wan, "Sister Xiao Wan wants to eat."
Wen Wan ate happily and said, "It tastes very good, eat more."
"Oh." Agui pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling awkwardly, "As a grown man, I don't dare eat too much celery."
Wen Wan and Shen Zhou were both stunned.
Chen Zhou: "Why don't you dare eat more?"
Agui glanced at Wen Wan and seemed embarrassed to say it in front of her.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes. "It's just an aphrodisiac, what's so bad about it? It's human nature, so we shouldn't be so secretive about it."
Agui blushed, but he didn't dare eat more dumplings.
Wen Wan didn't take this seriously. After all, she didn't believe it.
If celery could be used as an aphrodisiac, wouldn't all the men buy it up?
It’s a pity that the slap in the face came so quickly.
In the middle of the night.
Wen Wan suddenly woke up from her dream. Even after she was fully awake, her face was still flushed and she couldn't calm the impulse deep in her heart for a long time.
Counting the days, Shen Yu has been away for more than two months. If things go well, he might be back in a few days.
Could it be that she thought of this subconsciously, so she dreamed of him?
Thinking back to the dream just now...
Wen Wan scratched her head irritably and muttered to herself:
"Could it be that I've been hungry and thirsty for a long time? That's why I had this kind of dream?"
Although Achai in the dream has a really great figure and his breathing sounds very seductive.
but……
That was all her imagination.
It was all his fault. If he had let her see her real body, she wouldn't have imagined such a perfect body to seduce herself.
It's his fault for not showing it to her!
Women can be so unreasonable.
Perhaps because of that dream, Wen Wan began to feel guilty the next morning.
Whenever Chen Zhou mentioned the three words "Brother Chai", she would have an extreme reaction and her whole body would tremble.
But Chen Zhou is a tactless person and he always mentions A Chai when eating a piece of cake.
"Brother Chai loves to eat this kind of sweet cake the most. Oh, I don't know when Brother Chai will come back. The girl selling cakes is still looking forward to seeing him."
