Don’t sweep it, it will make him feel uncomfortable.
The kitchen of the house was just opposite. After making breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, the old lady came out yawning, stepped lightly, and flew to the side of Xuezhu on the snow.
She patted him and said, "Don't sweep anymore. It's useless to sweep."
Xuezhu pursed her lips: "It will be uncomfortable."
"You're still a child after all," the old lady said lovingly. "I see you're honest, so I'll say a few words to you."
She subconsciously glanced at Wu Weian's room and lowered her voice: "You can just sweep casually and be lazy. Don't be too diligent. Like me, I choose the simplest dishes for every meal and prepare them quickly. And that guy -" She nodded her chin towards the room responsible for washing clothes, "He is the most lazy, so you should learn from him."
Xuezhu thought for a long time, but still rushed out with the broom without hesitation.
The lady in the kitchen smacked her lips, shook her head, and went back to her room to catch up on some sleep.
In the room, Old Qin came to visit again.
Wu Weian threw the Danzhi that Ji Yunxi had brought to him early in the morning.
Old Qin couldn't let go of the Danzhi and stuffed it into his arms. "Finally, everything is done. I will leave for Yuzhou tomorrow to visit the young master."
"Well, be careful on the road." Wu Weian had just gotten up. His long hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin. He was wearing a white inner garment. His thin figure was faintly visible as he walked.
Old Qin looked at him, thought about how he had climbed up the social ladder, and hinted, "The journey is long, and the money I have may not be enough."
Wu Wei'an raised his eyebrows and asked him, "How much do you have left?"
People in Yuzhou knew that he came to the capital to buy medicinal herbs, so they gave Mr. Qin some silver.
He now has five hundred taels left: "One hundred taels."
Wu Wei'an: "That's enough."
Old Qin: "I'm old, and the weather is cold, so I need to burn some charcoal in the car..."
This old man is healthier than young men. It's no problem for him to live another fifty or sixty years. He's so bold that he's even being exploited?
Wu Wei'an thought for a moment and said sincerely, "How about you give me one hundred taels and I'll have someone arrange everything for you?"
Qin Lao immediately refused: "No, your people are very useful, I won't bother you."
Knowing that he couldn't get any money today, Qin Lao planned to leave. But before he left, he saw the small heater in the other person's hand and was very tempted: "Would you like to lend me your heater?"
Wu Weian narrowed his eyes: "Dream on."
Old Qin was furious: "Bah! You have no conscience. When you were broke and no girl was interested in you, I lent you money. Now that you're rich, you can't even afford a heater?"
Wu Wei'an: "You only borrowed ten taels and twenty wen from me in total, and I finally paid you back twenty taels."
Qin Lao coughed guiltily: "Mr. Qian is also a thoughtful gesture."
Wu Weian: "Don't think about it, the heater was given to me by Yunniang."
Old Qin sighed, waved his hand and left.
Wu Weian sent Old Qin to the door and gave him some detailed instructions. After watching him disappear in the winter snow, he returned to his room and sat down at the table with the letter.
This letter had come with Danzhi, and he unfolded it.
The letter was written very simply, inviting him to have dinner at Ji's house tonight.
So at the end of the hour, Wu Weian took Wu Er to Ji's house.
It was still early for dinner, Ji Mingxi was still in the Ministry of Personnel, and Ji Yunxi was looking at the account books in the study.
Ji Mingshuang was also preparing for the imperial examination next spring and reading his Four Books and Five Classics.
After the auction ended yesterday, Ji Yunxi was calculating the profit. The more she calculated, the more relaxed her expression became.
She suddenly said, "I think Sixth Brother's return is just in time."
His poisons and antidotes fetched a lot of money.
Ji Mingshuang glanced at her and said, "I wonder if you'll say this later."
Ji Yunxi sighed: "Where is Sixth Brother?"
Ji Mingshuang rubbed his forehead with a headache: "He must have gone out to buy groceries."
Ji Yunxi: "Oh."
The study was quiet for a while.
Ji Yunxi asked again: "What does he want to cook this time?"
Ji Mingshuang: “Didn’t tell me.”
Ji Yunxi: “?”
Ji Mingshuang pursed his lips, then pursed them again: "He said he had thought of some new good things, let's look forward to it."
Ji Yunxi twitched her lips: "I want to go to Kaitai Manor..."
Ji Mingshuang looked at her and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are in Shangjing City, he will find a way to dig deep into the ground and personally deliver dinner to you."
Ji Yunxi: “…”
In the study, the brother and sister were talking about Ji Mingyan.
Outside the mansion, the young man in red was carrying a basket full of food, and happened to meet the guards welcoming Wu Weian and Wu Er into the mansion.
Ji Mingyan nudged the guard with his elbow: "Who are those two?"
The guard hurriedly said, "Sixth Master, those are the two young masters of the Wu family."
"Oh." Ji Mingyan suddenly realized, and after finding out with the guards who his future brother-in-law was, he ran up excitedly.
Hearing the noise behind him, Wu Er stopped and looked back.
The maid leading them beside them bowed hurriedly: "Sixth Master."
Wu Er was startled and bowed quickly, saying, "Hello, Sixth Young Master. I am Wu Weining."
Behind him, Wu Weian avoided the crowd, timidly followed suit and saluted, calling out obediently, "Sixth, Sixth Brother."
Ji Mingyan, who is always warm and welcoming: "..."
His enthusiasm was extinguished by the call of "Sixth Brother", and not even a spark of enthusiasm remained.
Something in those eyes that were sparkling with curiosity just now was disappearing inch by inch.
"Are you Wu Weian?" Ji Mingyan asked uncertainly.
Wu Wei'an whispered: "Yes"
Ji Mingyan: "Are you really the Wu Weian who is engaged to my third sister?"
Wu Weian continued in a low voice: "Should, should be?"
Ji Mingyan was shocked on the spot.
Wu Wei'an tugged at his brother's sleeve: "Weining, let's go find Yunniang."
