Chapter 283: Buying the Entire Venue
Overgrown with weeds, ruined walls, and this terrible ground, in the middle of nowhere, this doesn't look like a venue for a game by any means.
Xia Wanrou also meant this, she covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "This location is too remote, and it takes a lot of manpower to clean up this ground, even if the area of this academy is large enough, it shouldn't come here to compete." ”
"That's right, the people who came to participate in the competition are all embroiderers, this position is too partial, who dares to come!" Emerald echoed.
Listening to a few people's complaints, the coachman had no choice, but after all, this was something set by Wei Xiuyuan, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to blush and explain: "Lord Wei said that as long as it was slightly repaired, the competition could be held, and he also said that he would take care of everything, and the rest of the minions didn't know." ”
After listening, Xia Wanrou's face couldn't help but become even more ugly, and she muttered in a low voice and complained: "This Xiuyuan is true, don't discuss such a big matter with us, how to compete in such a remote place......
This competition is an idea that Xiao Man came up with, and it is also the experience and time that Xiao Man spent the most, but now Wei Xiuyuan is using such a venue to prevaricate, which is too much. Don't say that Xiaoman is unhappy, he has to cry out for Xiaoman!
Thinking about it, Xia Wanrou turned around and said to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, don't worry, I'll think of other ways when I go back, such a remote place can't be used as a competition venue, I'll find another place, don't worry." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, before Xiao Man could answer, Wei Zijin, who was picked up by Hongyu, said: "This place is not remote, it is only a hutong away from Wei Mansion, why is it remote?" ”
"Quietly!" Xia Wanrou scolded unhappily, "Don't talk to adults and children-"
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Manchu interrupted Xia Wanrou suddenly, and said in surprise: "Jing Jing is right, this place is indeed not remote, and there is indeed only one alley away from Wei Mansion!" ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed into the distance and smiled, "Look! Isn't that the tree in the courtyard of the Wei Mansion! There is also the big kite with butterflies on the tree, it was Brother Wei who accompanied Zijin to fly the kite a few days ago, and accidentally hung the kite on the tree! ”
Xia Wanrou was a little surprised, "Huh? With a sound, he immediately looked in the direction of Xiao Man's finger.
Indeed, not far from this dilapidated academy, there is a tall poplar tree, and on the branch of the tree, which has not many leaves, there is indeed a colorful flower butterfly kite, which looks extremely familiar.
"It's really Wei Mansion!" Hongyu exclaimed excitedly, "It looks like it's really close!" ”
It is only a hutong away from the Wei Mansion, but they have never found out that there is such a large wasteland behind the mansion where they live!
Xia Wanrou looked at Wei Zijin in surprise, "How did you find out?" ”
"Father often said that only when you stand tall can you see far, I was held by Sister Hongyu, naturally taller than all of you, and naturally I can see farther than you!" As he spoke, Wei Zijin raised his head proudly, the corners of his mouth curled, and he looked like he was about to praise me, which made Xia Wanrou, Xiaoman and others laugh again and again.
Since this academy is so close to the Wei Mansion, it can be regarded as remote, and a road can be repaired from the alley at that time. It's just that the grass all over the ground, as well as this messy masonry and other things, if you don't clean it up properly, you still can't use it as a venue for the game.
Thinking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help but look at the coachman and asked, "Will Brother Wei come?" ”
This place was Wei Xiuyuan's view, and since he knew that he and Xia Wanrou came back to survey the venue today, he could definitely think of how dissatisfied he was with this place, if he didn't show up, he and Xia Wanrou might veto this venue.
So in order to ensure that this land can be used smoothly for the game, he should come back, right? At the very least, someone will be sent to explain to themselves.
"Please also ask Mrs. Lu to wait for a while, Lord Wei said that he will come over as soon as he finishes handling official business." The coachman bowed down and said respectfully.
Sure enough, as soon as the coachman's voice fell, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance. Xiao Man and the others followed the prestige, and really saw Wei Xiuyuan and his two guards galloping on horseback.
Soon, Wei Xiuyuan came to everyone, and before anyone began to speak, he took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, this place was a academy in the early years, and now it is very easy to clean up, just let people remove the weeds!" ”
Now the ground feels uneven when you walk on it, but it is just because of the illusion that it has been in disrepair for many years, and the dead branches and leaves are scattered all over the ground. In fact, the floor is paved with bricks and stones, and it only needs to be swept to reveal its true face.
"Look at how simple you say." Xia Wanrou frowned and complained: "This competition is still a few months away, and it will take a lot of time just to clean up this ground, and since there is so much time, it is better to find a cleaner and neater venue in Shangjing directly." ”
In fact, what Xia Wanrou said was not unreasonable, but Xiao Man had specially instructed Wei Xiuyuan to buy the venue directly before this, so that she would have other uses after the game.
Therefore, when Xia Wanrou said this, Xiao Man hurriedly came out to explain and cleared Wei Xiuyuan's grievances.
After listening to this, Xia Wanrou understood Wei Xiuyuan's hard work, so she apologized embarrassedly and said some good things before coaxing Wei Xiuyuan, who was pretending to be arrogant, down.
After making a fuss, Xia Wanrou looked at the ruins in the distance, sighed with a headache, and said with some doubts: "Xiaoman, what are you doing with such a big venue, is it possible to open a store?" ”
"Actually......" Xiao Man dragged out his tone and smiled mysteriously.
Everyone turned around, waiting for her answer.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on herself, Xiao Man suddenly became embarrassed, she scratched the back of her head, and smiled: "Actually, I didn't expect it yet." ”
Xia Wanrou, who was full of anticipation, slumped her shoulders, and she said amusefully and helplessly: "You thought you were going to have some big plans, but you didn't expect that even you didn't plan what to do with such a big venue." ”
"Whatever, anyway, Xiaoman is rich, so he will buy it." Wei Xiuyuan smiled and teased: "You said yes, right? Xiaoman. ”
Xiao Man glanced at him, didn't answer, but brought the topic back to the game, "Brother Wei, such a big place, are you sure you can clean it up within a month, and by the way, make all the preparations for the competition?" ”
Wei Xiuyuan patted his chest, "Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem." ”
Since the other party responded so quickly, there must be no big problem, Xiaoman nodded, and then said: "Okay, since the venue is finished, then let's go back today and prepare for other things." ”
Except for Wei Xiuyuan and his guards, everyone got into the carriage and replied to other matters related to the preparation of the competition.
Xu knew that this academy was very close to the Wei Mansion, and Xiao Man felt that the way back was very fast, as if he had returned home without saying a word.
I thought I could continue to prepare for the competition when I came back, but I didn't want to ......
"Madame, look!" Jade lifted the curtain on the carriage and pointed to the door of the Lu Mansion not far away, "Miss Wang is still waiting at the door." ”
Looking in the direction pointed by Jade, I saw a lake of blue figures and a shorter white figure still standing at the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the carriage was still parked in place, and the two figures stood motionless at the door, not noticing that Xiaoman's carriage had returned.
Seeing this, Xia Wanrou looked at Xiao Man, and finally asked the question in her heart: "Xiao Man, what do you have to do with her?" ”
Xiaoman sighed helplessly, and told Wang Youhe about the relationship between him and Wang Youhe in the game.
In the end, she leaned on the carriage almost in despair, and said weakly: "I don't know what to do, this Wang Youhe is too much, but now it looks a little pitiful... Hey, why don't we take a detour? “
Seeing Xiao Man's evasive mentality, Xia Wanrou hurriedly persuaded: "This Lu Mansion is here, you can hide for a while, can you still hide for a lifetime?" I think this Wang Youhe is a little more domineering, you can wait and go out and teach her a lesson, she has no one in her eyes. ”
Things are so reasonable, but when Xiaoman thinks of Wang Youhe's arrogant face, he feels very awkward.
"Madam, this Miss Wang came out with the Wang family's greetings, if the Wang family can't wait for her to go back, then they will definitely find us here. More is better than less, ma'am, go down and persuade her, at least let her get out of here first!" "Pearl also softly persuades.
Hearing this, Xiao Man finally made a difficult absolute, she took a deep breath and made a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, "Okay, then I'll go down and persuade her to go home quickly!" ”
After speaking, Pearl hurriedly helped Xiaoman get out of the car and walked straight in the direction of Wang Youhe.
When she was walking, Xiao Man made a slight noise, so before she could speak, Wang Youhe took the lead in turning around.
Xu stood for a long time, Wang Youhe's face turned a little pale, and his voice trembled slightly: "Mrs. Lu, I... I'm sorry. ”
After saying these words, Wang Youhe lowered his head, his shoulders trembled, and soon there was a sound of sobbing.
Xiao Man was even more embarrassed, she scratched her head, frowned and looked at the pearl, the other party handed her a firm look, Xiao Man had to take a deep breath, cheer up, and persuade: "You don't have anything to be sorry for me, those things are all before, it's over, don't mention it again." ”
The other party looked up in disbelief and looked at himself, with tears in his eyes.
Before, Wang Youhe slandered himself for plagiarism, ridiculed himself and Qin Chun in front of everyone, and was not inferior to the housekeeper of Jiangfu in front of so many embroidery girls......
But Xiaoman doesn't care anymore, she has to be busy with more important things, and she has no time or energy to stick to these troublesome things.
