Chapter 185: rascal Xiaowen
Yu Zhi called Shiliu and the others over, "How's the shop going?"
The shop was bought half a month ago. It used to sell groceries. Yu Zhi asked them to pack it up first, so that when the shop opens in spring, they won't be in a hurry.
The three of Shiliu looked at each other, and said in unison: "It's already packed." They looked at Yu Zhi with burning eyes, looking forward to it.
Yu Zhi saw it, wanted to laugh, and said, "Okay, get ready, let's open, and sell a wave of chrysanthemums first."
"Great, master, this servant will move the flowers to the shop."
"The servant girl went to find a pen and paper, and kept it for accounting."
"Slave, servant is going to help the pomegranate carry flowers."
The three of them are gearing up and preparing to fight hard. These three girls can't be idle for a while, isn't it coming to Chongyang? The three of them talked about opening a shop to sell chrysanthemums, and they also mentioned that in Ancheng, chrysanthemums were the best sellers at this time, and they could earn a lot of money every year.
Originally, Yu Zhi didn't agree, wouldn't it be nice to rest?
Isn’t this what happened to the brat? Yu Zhi changed his mind, let him open it, and let him know that there is a shop at home, and he can earn money, and he doesn't need to earn a few copper coins by doing homework for his classmates.
The house is almost cleaned up, and the rest of the work can be left to Mama Jiang to watch over. The shop was also called "Yu Ji Flower Shop". On the opening day, Yu Zhi went to show his face, as long as the three of them were still busy.
Originally, he wanted to hire a male buddy, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so Yu Zhi and Wen Jiuxiao borrowed someone for a day to deal with the opening day, but unexpectedly he sent Qingfeng over.
Big bargain at the opening, buy two pots and get one free. As soon as the word spread, more and more people came. Yu Zhi thought to himself, he should let the boy come over to have a look, the business in the shop is so good, the family must not be short of money.
In the evening, Yu Zhi settled the accounts in front of the boy, and put the day's turnover in front of him, "Isn't the money earned in the shop today much more than your hard work doing homework for others?"
The little brat smiled embarrassedly, "Mom, I really know I was wrong." Too stupid, how could he think that he can earn money to support his family? After working so hard to do homework for several days, I don't earn as much as Sister Shiliu and the others. No wonder my mother is so angry.
Mother said that there is a golden house in the book, he must study hard, read a lot of books, and let mother find the golden house, so mother will not be angry.
Marquis Wu'an originally wanted to talk to his third son when he returned to Beijing next month, but he went back as soon as he returned to the guard, and the influence was not good. In the end, I couldn't hold it back, and took a leave of absence and returned to Beijing.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he ordered, "Go and ask the third master to come over."
Little servant is a bit embarrassed, today is not a holiday, the third master went to the Yamen early in the morning, does Hou Ye mean to go to Dali Temple to invite him?
"What are you doing there? Why don't you go soon?" The butler glared at the boy.
"Three, the third master is not in the mansion." The servant boy said.
"Then look for it." Marquis Wu An glanced at him.
The little servant's heart trembled, "Slave will go now." After taking a few steps, he ran away. Judging by Master Hou's expression, he must have something important to ask Third Master, and he dared not miss Master Hou's important matter.
Wen Jiuxiao was looking at the case in Dali Temple. He raised his eyebrows when he heard the boy in the mansion say that the old man was looking for him, but he didn't make things difficult for the boy, "Let's go."
Wen Jiuxiao knew why the old man was looking for him. He thought he could bear it for a few more days, but he didn't expect to be so impatient.
Yes, if he is patient, it won't be like a day for more than ten years. It sounds good to be a third-rank general, but in fact, half of the power in his hand has been taken away by others, but he himself doesn't know it, thinking how powerful he is.
Why did Wen Jiuxiao take the imperial examination? It is because I see this clearly. The old man only has such a few resources in his hand, and he still favors the second child, well, if he doesn't want it, don't want the second child either.
In the beginning, Wen Jiuxiao wanted to enter the Habayashi Guard to take over the resources of the Marquis of Wu'an's army, but the second child fought against him and wanted to enter the Habayashi Guard. The old man favored the second child, saying that the second child was older and let him go first.
Cut, who are you talking to? The second child is older than him, just a little bigger, but whether it is size or martial arts, which one is he not better than the second child?
Even if the second child is Habayashi Wei, who is advanced, Wen Jiuxiao is confident that the late comers will prevail. But in the eyes of outsiders, he and the second child are brothers in the same family, and the fight was so ugly that it was just a joke for outsiders.
Fortunately, there is more than one road. Wen Jiuxiaoshu is also talented in reading. He doesn't want military resources anymore. He should take the civil servant route when he goes to take the imperial examination.
He doesn't want it, and neither does the second child.
Wen Jiuxiao and Mrs. Hou joined forces to stop Wen Chengyao, but Wen Chengyao didn't go to Cheng Yu Linwei after all. Later, he wanted to join the Forbidden Army, and Wen Jiuxiao messed him up again.
Later, Marquis Wu An took great pains to send his second son to the Jinwu Guard, but this time Wen Jiuxiao did not stop him.
The second child has no skills, so he spends his life patrolling the streets, arresting robbers, putting out fires, and punishing street bullies.
"Father looking for me?" Wen Jiuxiao saluted and pulled up a chair and sat down by himself. The old man must have no good looking for him. He talked a lot of nonsense and scolded people endlessly. He could save some energy by sitting.
Marquis Wu An got angry when he saw the rascal appearance of his third son, but he held back when he thought of what he heard from General Song, "The identity you arranged for Mrs. Yu is the daughter of Prince Zhan Shi?"
Wen Jiuxiao ticked the corner of his mouth, "What do you mean I will arrange it? How can I have such a great ability?"
"What do you mean? You are so yin and yang!" Marquis Wu An stared.
"It means that the Yu family you despise is originally the daughter of Yu Zhanshi in the prince's house, her own! It's not a dry relative, it's just that the father and daughter were separated because of some things." Wen Jiuxiao finished this sentence Words, folded arms, and waited for the old man to change his face.
As he wished, Marquis Wu'an's old face suddenly darkened, and he stared fiercely at Wen Jiuxiao. What else did he not understand?
"You did it on purpose!" This unfilial son deliberately didn't make it clear, waiting to see his father's joke, how did he give birth to such an uneasy child?
Wen Jiuxiao was in a good mood, "Father, don't wrong people. My son has already reminded you that Yu's status is not low. The daughter of Prince Zhan Shi, this is not a bad family background, right? With me, the unfavorable second son of the Houfu , can you afford it?" That's a confident one.
"You said you found the crown prince to give her an identity..." Wu Anhou reacted, "You deliberately misled me?!"
This unfilial thing, even his father dared to plot! Marquis Wu'an was so angry that he wished he could eat his son.
Wen Jiuxiao is innocent, "Important? The son didn't say this, it was all your own thinking, father. It is true that the son found the crown prince. The heir of a country, the son is not allowed to hug the thigh in advance? As for the embarrassment you said?" As for her identity, her background is not bad, does it need to be promoted?"
Immediately afterwards, her voice turned cold, "To put it bluntly, it is my father who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and wants to cling to the powerful. No matter what Yu's status is, isn't she the same person?"
Marquis Wu An was so angry that his lips trembled, "You unfilial son!" He grabbed the things on the case and threw them at Wen Jiuxiao.
Wen Jiuxiao dodged and yelled, "Why is your son unfilial? Knowing that your father loves the powerful, your son has found such a good in-law for you. How filial your son is!"
Marquis Wu An became even more angry, his eyes searched around, grabbing something and throwing something. Wen Jiuxiao dodged from left to right, without touching her for a moment, and her **** didn't even get up from the seat.
On the contrary, Marquis Wu An was so tired that he was out of breath. He pointed at Wen Jiuxiao, "Don't you want to marry? The old man agreed."
Wen Jiuxiao frowned, Wu Anhou's old face turned hot, and he said sternly: "What's the matter, you don't want to marry anymore?"
"Is father willing?" Are you willing to give up such a good in-law? Wen Jiuxiao has seen his father through for a long time, he has no skills, and wants to make the Hou Mansion even bigger. If you can't do it yourself, don't you have to rely on external forces? Prince James, the future favorite of the emperor, what kind of help?
Seeing that Marquis Wu An's anger was about to rise again, Wen Jiuxiao hurriedly said: "I want to marry, but I don't necessarily want to marry."
"What do you mean?" Marquis Wu An asked.
"Father, do you know the name of that child? Yu Xizhou! The surname is Yu! My father-in-law kept his daughter-in-law to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the incense of the old Yu's family. Oh, by the way, my father-in-law is a widow, and the only daughter of the Yu family is under his knees." .” It is undeniable that Wen Jiuxiao said this with bad intentions.
Marquis Wu An was really thoughtful, "That won't work, the child is the blood of the Wen family, how can he be named Yu?" He glared at his son again, "Your father-in-law and adults have already called out, how dare the lover still have a crush on you? It's useless Already!"
Wen Jiuxiao went back, "Who can blame this? Five years ago, Mr. Yu's fall off the cliff has not been over with his father-in-law? He bullied his daughter and still wants to marry him? Why is his face so big?"
The conversation changed, and he said again: "Why is the son useless? Father-in-law is satisfied with his son. As long as you agree, father, for your son to enter Yu's family, father-in-law will arrange a wedding right away. What does father want?"
"Impossible!" Marquis Wu'an's face darkened again, getting married? How is this different from selling your son? Marquis Wu'an still has to face.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wen Jiuxiao glanced at his father's face, and actively suggested, "It's fine if you don't get married, and the child will be left to the Yu family. Even if the child's surname is not Wen, it is still the son's own flesh and blood, your own grandson .Father, think about my father-in-law, in the future... such a large family business will be owned by Zhou Zhou, isn't it the Hou Fu who will take advantage of it?"
Marquis Wu An was very moved, and on second thought, even if the child is not left to the Yu family, the Yu family is only the only daughter of the Yu family, and the family business must be left to his grandson in the end. "No, the child is the blood of the Wen family, how can he stay in the Yu family, I don't agree."
Wen Jiuxiao smirked, "You can't have both, you don't want to part with your children, but you want other people's property, what do you mean?"
Marquis Wu An felt that his son had seen through his thoughts, and couldn't hold back, "Get out of here!"
Wen Jiuxiao immediately stood up, "Get out!" After taking two steps, he turned back, "My son is useless, father, don't forget to help your son to propose marriage to Yu's house."
Being a father doesn't want to put in any effort, how is that possible?
The answer to him was a louder "Get out"!
Wen Jiuxiao didn't care. The old man is getting older, his voice is louder, and his anger is so big. He doesn't know when he will have a stroke.
When he got outside, Wen Jiuxiao's face sank like water, reserved and cold, how could he look like a rascal in front of his father?
