Wu Weian's face was as cold as frost.
He threw a thick stack of papers onto the table: "Why are there so many more this time?"
The round-faced steward was ready to flee: "The brothers said that the young master gave everyone a small gift. I guess he has a lot of money these days. So -"
Having said that, he stopped talking.
Wu Wei'an snorted coldly, as if he had heard something funny. "A little kindness, a big grain of rice, a grudge! Good intentions really don't get good returns. You people really make me feel disappointed."
The round-faced manager looked at his nose and his heart, and refused to say a word.
As long as money wasn't involved, the young master was actually quite easy to talk to. He was always tolerant of his subordinates. Last time, when Xuezhu messed up while sweeping the streets, the young master wasn't particularly angry. As long as Xuezhu didn't do it again, he'd let it go. He could overlook minor mistakes made by his subordinates and give them a chance.
But when it comes to money, it's hard to say. Rage can just happen in the blink of an eye.
After a long while, Wu Wei'an rubbed his brows and said, "Those who are in a hurry should report it first, and those who are not in a hurry can wait."
The round-faced steward wasn't surprised at all: "Yes. But sir, what about the silver?"
Wu Weian closed his eyes and said, "Use the money sent by the gambling house to fill it up."
Ji Yunxi had just handed him the silver he earned from the four gambling houses he owned yesterday, and he hadn't even warmed up to it yet...
The round-faced steward became more cautious: "But I guess it might not be enough."
Wu Weian pursed his lips tightly.
The round-faced steward asked tentatively, "Should we ask Madam for it?"
Wu Weian glanced at him coldly.
The round-faced steward retracted his head and stopped talking.
For some reason, his son has become more concerned with prestige since getting married. Lately, he hasn't asked his wife for much money. He doesn't know why; this isn't like his usual style.
After all, when would his son ever care about his face when it comes to money?
Wu Wei'an thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You can use the rice in your granary as a payment. They need to buy rice anyway, so why not buy it from me?"
The round-faced steward: “?”
The more Wu Wei'an thought about it, the better he felt about this idea: "I should have thought of it sooner."
Thinking of the small gift packages of food he had given to these subordinates who had done well but received no reward for their kindness, Wu Weian felt a little bitter in his heart.
After the round-faced steward left, a man with a bulging belly, a face rounder than the round-faced steward, but younger than the round-faced steward, floated in quietly.
Wu Weian looked at him. To be honest, even though they lived under the same roof, he hadn't seen this person for about a month.
"What is it?"
The man said, "Someone in Shangjing City has been using the Shadowless Formation frequently lately, and they always come towards the Wu family. I've tried to disrupt it several times, but they always come back."
Wu Weian frowned.

After lunch, Ji Mingyan asked his brothers, sisters and kids to help him take care of the medicine garden.
This medicine garden is in Ji Mingyan's yard. There is a formation set up in his yard by his fifth brother himself. Without Ji Mingyan's guidance, no one else can enter.
Because there are dangers everywhere. For example, a seemingly ordinary blade of grass on the roadside may kill you if you touch it.
The reason why Ji Mingxi, Ji Mingshuang, and Ji Yunxi are fine.
This is because from childhood to adulthood, they have been tortured by Ji Mingyan to the point that antibodies have appeared in their bodies. They have eaten all kinds of rare treasures and have long been immune to all poisons.
In the lush medicinal garden, the Ji brothers and sisters are working hard.
Ji Mingshuang was hoeing the ground for Ji Mingyan, Ji Mingxi was helping Ji Mingyan prune branches, Ji Yunxi was watering the plants, and Ji Mingyan followed behind Ji Mingshuang, sowing seeds on the hoeed ground.
As Ji Mingxi cut his hair, he said, "It's been a month since Yunniang's wedding, right? Why hasn't your fifth brother arrived yet?"
Ji Mingyan raised his face, which was covered with mud. "That's right! I've been waiting for Fifth Brother for a long time! He should have arrived a month ago! Could Fifth Brother have gotten lost again?"
Ji Mingshuang's pair of beautiful faces, which were loved by the young ladies in Beijing, were also covered in mud: "Of course, when does Fifth Brother not get lost?"
Ji Yunxi, who was watering the plants, casually asked, "How long did Fifth Brother take the longest time?"
Ji Mingyan took out his fingers and counted: "Three months? Right, Mingshuang."
Ji Mingshuang nodded: "Yes."
Ji Mingxi shook his head, as he had accidentally cut too many branches and leaves.
He paused, then continued cutting, saying as he did so, "Forget it, my fifth brother will eventually find his home."
Just like these branches and leaves, they will always grow back.
As for whether to send someone to look for it?
The brothers and sisters of the Ji family all have a tacit understanding. After all, it’s useless to send them.
Ji Mingyuan is very difficult to find. Even Ji Mingyan, who is always able to dig three feet deep, can’t find him, let alone others?
Anyway, after trying for a while, he will find it himself.
After growing the new medicinal herbs, Ji Mingyan went to the kitchen to tinker with them for a while and made a new soup.
He was very excited to go to Wu's house with Ji Yunxi to try the medicine on his brother-in-law.
Ji Mingshuang looked at the pitch-black soup and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, Ji Mingyan now has his brother-in-law to take care of him, otherwise he would be the one who suffers.
Ji Yunxi took Sixth Brother back.
She looked at the soup and asked, "Sixth Brother, do you have any basis for the medicine you tried on An Lang?"
Ji Mingyan looked puzzled: "Ah? What basis?"
Ji Yunxi looked up at the sky and patiently explained, "Since An Lang has been poisoned, shouldn't you first study the poison and then develop a new medicine for it?"
Ji Mingyan suddenly realized: "Oh, but that poison cannot be studied because it is extinct. I have never seen it before. Even Sister Du doesn't know much about it."
Ji Yunxi raised an eyebrow: "So?"
Ji Mingyan chuckled and said, "So I'm just trying blindly. Who knows when the blind cat will stumble upon a dead mouse?"
Ji Yunxi's mouth twitched: "..."
Okay.

In the Wu family courtyard, the master of the house, dressed in gray, was walking and calculating directions with a Bagua mirror in his hand.
