Xu Wan covered her mouth and laughed for a long time, until Tong Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes, then stopped, and then said, "I know, and I also prepared it for Wen Zhao and them, when I came, I thought that it would be very cold in winter when I arrived here, although you and my eldest brother both said that the climate in the south is warm, but I and my second brother are not at ease, and I still brought cotton clothes, which will definitely not be cold." ”

Tong Xue thought about it and said, "But our winter clothes over there should be a little thicker, I think it's better for the family to make a new set of clothes." ”

Xu Wan thought about it, at this temperature, it was a little surprising to take out the big cotton jacket brought over from home and wear it, "It's okay, just make one by one." ”

When the winter solstice came, Xu Wenda did not stay in the yamen at noon, and he had already returned home when it was time to eat. Xu Wenzhao's school has a half-day holiday today, and he will be home at noon, Xu Wenyuan has not gone out, and the family is here.

Tong Xue is very happy, although the family is reunited, but now they are all busy with their own things, only dinner time can eat together, and it is a long time since they have had lunch together, so Tong Xue is still a little happy.

Since the winter solstice, no matter what the habits are here, from the bottom of Tong Xue's heart, she still feels that she has to eat dumplings according to the custom. It's just that now that the conditions are better, this eating dumplings is not like before, it is a rare thing, and you can eat it if you want to eat it on weekdays, which is not very rare.

So Tong Xue thought about making something else, so she thought of hot pot, everyone ate hot pot together, and you can also make dumplings in the hot pot, thinking about it, the climate at home is happy, it is drizzling outside, and when the sky is cloudy, even in the house, it is a little cold.

This kind of weather is the most suitable for eating hot pot, eating a meal, the whole body can become warm, according to Tong Xue's will, of course, it is made into a spicy pot, but considering that there are children at home, it is made into a mandarin duck pot, and the family sits together in a hot pot and eats in full swing, and it seems to be isolated from the damp and cold outside.

After eating, Xu Wenyuan leaned on the chair and touched his stomach, "It's still my sister-in-law's craftsmanship, this kind of pot is made, and my sister-in-law always feels very fragrant, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

When Xu Wenda heard Xu Wenyuan say this, he asked, "I was about to ask you, what have you been doing during this time, and seeing that you also go out early and return late, every day is mysterious." ”

As soon as Xu Wenda's words fell, everyone in the family looked up at Xu Wenyuan, Xu Wenyuan strongly expressed his desire not to study, Xu Wenda, as the eldest brother, although he was very regretful, but he did not force Xu Wenyuan to live according to his wishes.

Xu Wenyuan has a flexible brain, and he has been wandering around Fanzhou Mansion during this time, thinking about whether he can find any business opportunities. Now that the Xu family has established a cooperative relationship with the Zhou family, Xu Wenda has also become an official, and the living conditions of the family are indeed worry-free.

But as a man, Xu Wenyuan still feels that he can't just rely on his eldest brother and sister-in-law to live, and he still hopes that he can break out of his way. Of course, Xu Wenyuan has also understood during this time that Tong Xue actually hopes that he can help run the family's wine business.

He even told him about the proportion of sharing between the brothers, but Xu Wenyuan refused, feeling that this was taking advantage of the eldest brother. Tong Xue really thinks that Xu Wenyuan has this talent for business, and if she wants to expand her business, of course she needs a talent like Xu Wenyuan.

But after all, she is just a sister-in-law, Xu Wenyuan disagrees, and she can't say anything, so she can only let him go.

After Xu Wenyuan went around Yuzhou, he felt that he had a direction, he was a little yearning for those ships that came back from all over the world, and he also wanted to go out to experience. The main thing is that as long as you can come back safely, that thing is all profiteering, of course, provided that you have enough capital.

Xu Wenyuan originally wanted to tell his family in the past few days that he agreed to help manage the business and expand his business, but he didn't expect Xu Wenda to ask directly.

Xu Wenyuan said, "Big brother, I have been shopping in Yuzhou City in the past few days, and I have heard a lot of things that I have never heard in Qingyang Mansion. ”

Xu Wenda's face darkened when he heard it, there are many people who go to sea every year, but most of these people are from poor families and are employed by others, after all, going to sea is not as good as being on land, in case of any storm, it is easy to spread the word that people die, and besides, if you go to sea once, it will be less than half a year, and at most several years, so a parting, isn't it a brother's separation, and you can't see each other for a long time.

Xu Wenda immediately objected, "I don't agree, you said before that you don't like the imperial examination, I agreed, you said you want to make money, and I also agreed that you can do business, but now you actually say that you want to go to sea, do you know how many ships go out every year, how many can come back, I can't watch you get into danger." ”

Thinking of his younger brother actually thinking of crossing the ocean, Xu Wenda was a little congested, when he was a child, it was clear that his father wanted them all to study and become scholars, "If you want to hire others, how you like to toss, how to toss, but if you go by yourself, no." ”

Xu Wenyuan didn't expect Xu Wenda's reaction to be so intense, he just said his own thoughts, but he also knew the hard work of his eldest brother, just like the eldest brother was so far away from home, he would be worried, if he left home, Xu Wenda would probably be very worried.

At this time, Tong Xue also spoke, "The scale of our wine business is still too small, in fact, I have always had the idea of expanding, but every charter, once the business grows, many things that we can't notice or don't need to pay attention to in our small business will pop up, which is also very sad." I have always hoped to let Wen Yuan do this important task, you have a flexible mind and understand business, but last time you said that you have your own ideas, sister-in-law has always been democratic and respects your own ideas, but your idea is really too dangerous, why don't you help the family. ”

If it was left in modern times, Xu Wenyuan's request Tong Xue would definitely agree, but now it is ancient times, once you leave, there is no way to contact at all, life and death are unknown, even the most luxurious ship now can't withstand a few dangers. The Titanic back then could hit an iceberg and sink, not to mention that the current ship is wooden.

In the end, after a few small faces were confused, Xu Wenyuan was a little aggrieved, Xu Wenda was so angry that he ended this conversation, Xu Wenda thought, he is angry now, Xu Wenyuan, it is at the moment of high spirits, the two have different opinions, don't argue first, let yourself calm down, and when the current situation is calmed down, treat it with a rational attitude.

Back in the room, Tong Xue heard Xu Wenda say a little angrily, "I knew that Wen Yuan had such a thought, so I might as well force him to go to the academy with Wen Zhao." ”

Tong Xue said a little unoptimistically, "I think Wen Yuan has an idea, he has this idea, I'm afraid it will not be easy to dispel this idea." ”

Xu Wenda didn't know that Tong Xue was telling the truth, although Xu Wenyuan listened to him, but sometimes he was also stubborn, "I'm mainly worried about his safety, although crossing the ocean is a money-making thing, but opportunities and risks coexist, I even feel that the risks are more than the opportunities, so I try my best to stop it." ”

The two discussed for a long time and didn't come up with a charter, Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue, who was very close to him, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, "I think Wenyuan is a child's heart, when he sees something interesting, he wants to explore, and wants to know what is going on?" This is not grown up yet, you said that if I find a daughter-in-law for Wen Yuan to tie him, will he give up this dangerous idea. ”

"Marriage?" Tong Xue exclaimed, she was really a little unoptimistic, "I don't think Wen Yuan looks like he wants to get married, if he is not happy, even if he marries him back, he still thinks about his great navigation, wouldn't it be a hardship for other girls." ”

Xu Wenda walked towards the door, "He is also a big man, I will go and tell him in person." ”

Seeing that Xu Wenda was about to take a step, Tong Xue waved her hand, and then said, "Go ahead, don't be angry." ”

Xu Wenda opened the door and went out with one foot, and immediately turned around when he heard Tong Xue's words, "How do you know that I will be angry." ”

Tong Xue smiled, and then said, "Because you were very angry when you came back just now, you must hold back when you see him later." ”

Xu Wenda came to Xu Wenyuan's room, only to see Xu Wenyuan leaning on the edge of the bed, lying down, Xu Wenda walked over and patted Xu Wenyuan's leg, Xu Wenyuan sat up straight to make a place, Xu Wenda sat next to Xu Wenyuan, "Wenyuan, to be honest, I was very angry when I heard your thoughts, and I was more worried about you." ”

Xu Wenyuan obviously went through a lot of investigation, and as soon as he heard Xu Wenda say this, he immediately retorted, "Big brother, so many people have come back, I have inquired about them, how can it be so exaggerated as you say." If you can't come back, where is the current scene of Yuzhou. ”

Xu Wenda nodded slightly, and then continued, "Okay, even if it's not as exaggerated as I said. Have you ever thought about how worried we will be about you, have you thought about it for us. ”

Xu Wenyuan looked at Xu Wenda, thinking that he had been raised by Xu Wenda since he was a child, and now when he heard Xu Wenda say this, his heart was more or less touched, "Big brother......"

Xu Wenyuan was a little moved just now, but Xu Wenda dropped a bombshell, which made Xu Wenyuan a little dizzy, "If it is according to my meaning, you should get married first, and you can do the wine business at home with peace of mind." ”

Xu Wenyuan's face changed, and he immediately jumped up from the bed, "Big brother, why did you get married again." ”

Xu Wenda said earnestly, "You are not young anymore, it's time to get married." ”

Xu Wenyuan said with a little numbness, "Big brother, don't, when you are as old as me, your sister-in-law has no shadow." ”

Xu Wenda glanced at Xu Wenyuan, "You kid, it's reasonable, isn't this my filial piety, if it weren't for filial piety, I would have been married a long time ago." ”

Seeing that Xu Wenyuan still wanted to refute, Xu Wenda retorted, "Of course, I also have my own selfishness. What about your sister-in-law's situation, you also know that when she came to our house, it was really a little bad, the doctor said that she was injured, you see that we have been married for so long, but we have no children. ”

Xu Wenyuan's heart was cold, in his heart, this sister-in-law is naturally worthy of the eldest brother, and it is also excellent, these days, Xu Wenyuan can also see that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are two people, Qin Se and Ming, and they are very affectionate, and they originally thought that they would be able to hug their little nephew soon, but there was still a hidden secret.

Xu Wenyuan asked worriedly, "Did you go to the doctor?" ”

Xu Wenda nodded, "Your sister-in-law went to see it, and she was still a doctor when she was in the capital, and she said that she was very good at this aspect, and she prescribed medicine, and she still drinks medicine every day, but it doesn't work, you also saw it, there has been no movement for so long." ”

Xu Wenyuan felt a little sad in his heart, his sister-in-law was such a good person, why did she have so many tribulations, and then asked, "Then didn't you change the doctor later?" Maybe it's better to change one, sister-in-law. ”

Xu Wenda shook his head, in fact, he once wanted to say it, but he was worried that Tong Xue would think that he wanted children too much, so he kept this situation in his heart, "Seeing her like this every day, I don't dare to ask her." Once I saw her drinking medicine, I asked, she almost gave away the bowl, where do I dare to say, I am afraid that she is too stressed, the succession of the Xu family depends on you, you can not marry now, but I will give you one more year, after a year, if you haven't found the girl you want to marry, I will make your own decisions. ”

Xu Wenyuan thought about Tong Xue's appearance, looked at his face ruddy, now that he has eaten well, he has begun to draw strips, and he has grown a lot taller than before, although he is still a little thin, but he looks very good.

Of course, Xu Wenyuan didn't doubt what Xu Wenda said at all, no one would joke about this kind of thing, Xu Wenyuan frowned, "Sister-in-law looks healthy, how can this be." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wenda really wants the Tong family to suffer all the hardships that Tong Xue suffered when she was a child, they are all a family, how can they bear to treat Tong Xue like this, "When I was a child, I suffered too hard, and my body was very bad, and it was only good after I came to our house to look good, but the foundation inside was not so good." ”

Xu Wenyuan slammed one hand on the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "It's so cheap that the Tong family's gang, I should not ignore it if I knew it, I should go up and step on it a few times." ”

Xu Wenda looked at Xu Wenyuan so indignant, and agreed with his statement very much in his heart, and then continued, "So hurry up and get married, the responsibility of the Xu family's inheritance will be handed over to you." (To be continued.) )
