Wen Yao's heart sank. This Lord Bai was not as harmless as he acted. He knew the affairs of his own family quite well!
"Thanks for the reminder. You can still make money if you don't have it, so it's okay."
Bai Jinyu: "..."
Boss, people are the ones who treat money like dirt.
"It's just that I'm worrying too much, so I'll take my leave."
Yuan Rui got out of the way and didn't stop him. He said he was repaying the kindness, but Yuan Rui could still guess a little bit about what he was thinking. No matter how he looked at it, Mr. Bai was not from the same family as his sister, and he
destiny...
The Lonely Star of Heavenly Evil is not just a joke, I would rather believe it or not. Wen Yao's horoscope caused so much trouble last time, this destiny is definitely not good.
It's a little early to think about this. I hope Mr. Bai can respect himself and not disturb his sister.
"Let's go."
Yuan Rui decided to keep an eye on his sister personally from now on to prevent Mr. Bai from taking advantage of her.
Anyway, this is not the first time that he has ruined Yuanhua's marriage. He has to fight off all the dogs who want to steal his sister away.
I don't know if it is a blessing or a disaster for Yuanhua to have such a younger brother.
After seeing Wen Yao back home, Yuan Rui didn't go in and hurried back to look at his sister and mother in case Yuan Jingzhou went crazy and vented his anger on them.
If Yuan Jingzhou is still restless, Yuan Rui thinks that he can break his legs, and he secretly makes a decision in his heart. His mother and sister are the most important in his heart.
My father is just a decoration. I haven't given him a good look since he was a child. His son is not a son, but he is like an enemy.
When Wen Yao returned home, she didn't listen to Bai Jinyu and checked the accounts in the shop. Since it was left to Wen Yu, he could do whatever he wanted. If he failed, he would be quiet. The Wen family would not be upset.
This family doesn't even know their last name if they don't throw some cold water on them for a day.
When I returned to the yard, I saw two other brothers, the second brother Wen Zhao and the third brother Wen Yang, "Why are you back?"
Wen Zhao smiled and said: "Eldest sister really doesn't care about us anymore. The imperial examination is the day after tomorrow. Go home and prepare."
Wen Yao forgot about it, her eyes were cold: "Really? Take the exam carefully and let the servants at home prepare whatever is needed."
Wen Zhao was a little helpless. Is the eldest sister so careless? Are you still thinking about what you did in the past?
"Sister, aren't you going to take us to the examination room?"
"I'm not a three-year-old child. If you want to be independent and find comfort, you can go to Su Qiuyue. Your mother is not more important than my eldest sister."
Wen Yang said: "No, in my heart, the eldest sister is the most important."
Wen Yao glanced at him, and she seemed more steady than before. She really focused on studying, and her face looked better: "Go and offer incense to your biological mother and let her bless you.
It doesn’t matter if you fail the test this time, there will be opportunities in the future.”
In her previous life, Wen Yang didn't have much future. She had been hanging around in houses, eating, drinking, and having fun, no matter how she tried to control her. After she got married, she was tortured by Su Qiuyue, and the good young man had no energy at all.
god.
At that time, she had too much time to take care of herself and did nothing to help Wen Yang except giving him some money to make his life better.
Wen Yang is awake in this life, but after wasting so many days, Wen Yao doesn't think he can pass the exam.
Wen Yang was moved in his heart. Only his eldest sister still remembered his biological mother. It was her eldest sister who made the decision to let his biological mother's memorial tablet enter the Wen family ancestral hall. Otherwise, given Su Qiuyue's temperament, his biological mother would probably be a lonely ghost.
"I will, thank you, big sister."
Wen Yao nodded: "I didn't do anything, so you're welcome, just try your best."
Wen Zhao: "Sister, don't you have anything to tell me? I'm your second brother, dear."
Wen Yao: "No one is late, I wish you good luck in high school."
Wen Zhao was a little disappointed and said: "I'm going to ask my eldest sister for a royal title when I'm in high school."
Wen Yao was surprised: "Are you kidding me? You want to give me a seal, but I'm still among the top three. Besides, there's Su Qiuyue and my grandmother. If you don't give it to them, they won't overthrow the family?"
"None of them can compare to how good my eldest sister is to me. I have already thought about it, so I will give it to my eldest sister."
Wen Yao didn't care. He had been extremely disappointed in his previous life. This younger brother did take it out on him, but his indifference towards him also really broke his heart.
It sounds nice now, but maybe what will happen if Su Qiuyue makes a fuss.
After sending away his two younger brothers, Wen Yao told Zhiqin: "Send someone to go to the shop and find out what happened."
"Okay, slave, I'll go right away."
Before she could go out, the shopkeeper came to ask for an audience, saving Zhiqin the time to ask.
The chief shopkeeper's surname is Xue. He is in charge of all the shops in the capital. He is Wen Yao's right-hand man. He is in his early fifties and has great prestige in the Wen family business.
"I've met the eldest lady."
"Shopkeeper Xue, please sit down. Is there something wrong?"
Shopkeeper Xue had an angry look on his face and said: "Miss, it is said that the eldest young master is in charge of the Wen family's business. The eldest lady is getting married and has handed over her rights to the young master. She is open-minded and we all admire her.
But the eldest young master is indeed not that kind of material. He has a soft ear. He doesn't make decisions when he should make decisions. When he shouldn't make decisions, he insists on going his own way. I really don't know what to say about him."
Wen Yao said calmly: "Tell me the important point."
"yes."
Shopkeeper Xue immediately became serious. This is the magnanimity a head of a family should have, and continued: "The young master diverted all the cash flow in the shop to invest in the mines in Xuzhou Prefecture. He said that with the cooperation of noble people, he would make a profit without losing money.
of trading.
Not to mention that our Wen family has never been involved in this kind of business, but when mining, we have to deal with the imperial court. There are many involved, and if you are not careful, the whole family will be implicated."
Wen Yao was also surprised, "What mine?"
"Pig iron ore."
Wen Yao unconsciously clenched her tea cup, wishing she could scold her unfulfilled brother right now. Can the Wen family get involved in this matter?
"Miss, what do you think we should do now? We can't just watch the Wen family's foundation for so many years be destroyed!"
Wen Yao's fingers tapped on the table unconsciously. She wouldn't believe it without the warmth's encouragement.
"I understand. You don't need to worry about the iron ore. Just take care of the current shop. How much cash flow will he take?"
Shopkeeper Xue said: "Five hundred thousand taels of silver."
Wen Yao shook his head: "Having five hundred thousand taels of silver is like mining? He is thinking nonsense. If he wants money in the future, you will sell the shop to him."
"Sell the shop?"
How can this work?
Shopkeeper Xue was surprised by Wen Yao's decision. Wen Yao looked at him meaningfully and said, "Someone will contact you, just do it. The price will be kept to the lowest. Thank you for your hard work."
Shopkeeper Xue seemed to understand better and stood up to say goodbye: "It's not hard, you should do what you should do. I'll say goodbye now."
"Okay, walk slowly, I won't see you off."
Wen Yao stood up and watched him walk out the door, her eyes filled with coldness.
