Xu Lanyin glanced at Zhao Wu and said angrily, "I have a lot of identities, first like your sister, then like your mother, and now I have become your brother." ”

Zhao Wu also felt that it was inaccurate to use "brother" to describe the relationship between the two of them, but he just wanted to be close to her, closer than his sister and brother, so he had to use the word "brother".

Still stubborn, "I only said that you are like my sister and brother, I didn't say that you are like my mother......" and a little uncertain, he did think that Xu Lanyin was like his mother before, as for saying that he couldn't remember clearly if he didn't say it.

He glanced at Xu Lanyin again, and felt that this sister was too smart, how could she always guess what was on his mind? Thinking about it again, she definitely didn't know about Uncle Xu's incident, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm. This shows that she doesn't know everything about herself.

Thinking like this, Zhao Wu breathed a sigh of relief again. Although he wanted to be close to Xu Lanyin, he still didn't want her to know everything on his mind, otherwise he would have more ears pulled.

It was already the end of noon when I got home, and Zhang Qi and Aunt Ding had already prepared the meal.

The chess pieces were sent down, and the two of them were eating.

Zhao Wudao, "I went to the Wen Mansion to meet my eldest brother in the evening and told him the good news. ”

Xu Lanyin said, "Pay attention to safety. ”

Zhao Wu pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "As far as the Wen family's bunch of wine bags and rice bags are concerned, they haven't found me yet." I'll go buy a house in the next morning, so that we can live with my eldest brother, and I won't come back for dinner. ”

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "After earning so much money, I also want to buy a house and a shop." If you can, you can open a branch of Xinyun Tea House in the capital in the future. ”

As long as there is no war, real estate is a profitable business in any era, and the capital is even more expensive. But now Xu Lanyin can only buy it for herself, not at home, because the Qin family will not want her and her son to buy property in the capital. Go back and buy more fields around Ningzhou Mansion for them, Xu Lanzhou's brothers have to go on a career path, and the "Farming and Reading Home" is much better than the merchants. Give them another sum of money to make their family's life better......

Zhao Wu's words interrupted Xu Lanyin's contemplation, "Now is not a good time to buy a house, it's better to wait." If those two fall, some officials will definitely be implicated, and at that time, there will be a lot of houses and shops vacant, which are not only good but also cheap. I can't buy it in a hurry, so I'm going to use it soon. ”

Xu Lanyin raised her eyes to look at him and teased, "Brother Gongzi, who doesn't know how expensive oil and rice are, also understands general affairs." ”

Zhao Wu smiled and said, "I've been at my sister's house for so long, and I'll see it." ”

After dinner, Zhao Wutong and He Dong went out to see the house, it was still raining, and Xu Lanyin did not go with him.

She hid the silver ticket and the gold bar, and sat down by the window. Looking at the light rain outside, I thought of the silly little original owner again. A black veil grass is worth 100,000 taels of silver, so the box of Ruyi Muscle Cream and the small wooden brand should also be worth this price. With a huge sum of 200,000 taels of silver, he didn't know it, and he ran to the ancient family to offer treasures with two small silver horns.

Fortunately, the little original owner doesn't know their value, and if he knows, he will definitely give them stupidly. If Gu Wangchen got these two treasures and used them as bargaining chips for his promotion, it would really be unreasonable.

Thinking that there was still a small half box of Ruyusheng muscle cream left at home, Xu Lanyin's face was full of smiles again. The half of the box of paste used changed the fate of several people. And those few black roots grass, I don't know how many people's fate will be changed.

In the evening, only He Dong came back, and he said that Zhao had nothing to do. also said that Zhao Wu had already bought a three-entry mansion and spent nine hundred and sixty taels of silver. Although it is a little more expensive, the house is relatively new, and you can live in it by buying some daily furniture and supplies.

At this time, Zhao Wuzheng was sitting alone in a private room on the third floor of Qingfeng Restaurant and drinking.

He sat by the window, drizzling and pitch black outside. But he knew that there was a large area of contiguous mansions in the distance to the north, where several high-gate mansions were located, and the Wen family, the Qingguo Mansion, was also there.

His eldest brother, Wen Zhuofeng, was locked up in the Wen family for ten years and never even left the second door.

And he, who has not learned and has no skills since he was a child, has been in and out of the world, and he has run all over this area and is disliked by everyone......

He had visited this restaurant more than a dozen times, but neither the shopkeeper and Xiao Er here recognized him as the fourth son of the Wen Mansion who was still here on credit. They all thought he was familiar, and they thought he was the one who had come here to drink.

Zhao Wuxian asked for a plate of braised pork, half a roast chicken, and a pot of wine. Eat slowly, the meat and chicken have been eaten, the wine has not been drunk, he has learned not to be greedy for cups.

I asked for another plate of peanuts. After such a long time, he also learned to be thrifty, even if he carried a silver ticket of thousands of taels of silver in his arms, it was not like two years ago when he would rather take credit to slap his swollen face and become fat, and ask for a table of wine and food.

At that time, the restaurant was about to close, and Zhao Wucai walked out of the restaurant. The rain had stopped, but he still put on his hat and walked unhurriedly to the north.

The night was dark and windy, and there were only a few stars twinkling in the sky. There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and they all walk in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Zhao Wu came to the courtyard wall in the northwest of Wen Mansion, which was the closest to Wen Zhuofeng's courtyard. The alley was narrow and long, and there were two people walking this way.

Zhao Wu had to continue to walk slowly forward, and the two men walked past him to the east, and he fell back again. Standing there and looking left and right, there was no one, so he jumped on the courtyard wall and jumped down again.

More than a dozen apricot trees are planted here, and it is the time when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom. In the faint starlight, the pale red stamens of the branches were faintly visible, and the ground was covered with fallen flowers and leaves that had been knocked down by the rain, and his shoes were sunk in the mud.

Before he could get up, he heard a man's whisper.

"Who?"

The sound came from behind a large tree not far away.

Zhao Wu was so frightened that he quickly hid behind a half-human-high rock, pinched his throat and learned to bark twice.

The man's voice said, "Baby, it's a wild cat, don't be afraid." Quick, let Ye be refreshed. ”

Even after a year and a half, Zhao Wu could hear that this voice was Wen Zhuolin, the second son of the Wen family, the eldest son of Wen Yan, the second master of Wen. Wen Zhuolin has been less talented than him since he was a child, he doesn't learn and has no skills, he can tease the little girl in eleven or two, but his reputation outside is stronger than him.

"Second master, if you let the second grandmother know, you will kill the slave maid......" A woman's delicate voice.

Wen Zhuolin scolded quietly, "That jealous woman, don't mention her, it's a disappointment for no reason." Good man, serve me comfortably, and I will find a way to let you get out of that cripple ......"

Then, the suppressed moans of the dog man and woman. The big tree next to the apricot grove swayed, and from time to time leaves and raindrops accumulated on the leaves fell.

"The slave's back is soaked, and the wind is going to be cold......"

"Tomorrow I will reward you with a golden hairpin......"

Zhao Wu closed his eyes and blocked his ears. He was disgusting, how could he encounter such a today.
