Chapter VI Letters
The summer of the eighteenth year of Nanhua
Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, the former little Wenyu has grown into a handsome son, ten years of hard study, suffered from the white eyes of Miss Peacock and the torture of Wang Jizu, Mr. Li left the world peacefully after the children succeeded.
Wang Jizu, who did not learn and did not know how to do anything, inherited the property of Wang Yuanwai and did whatever he wanted in Yecheng, and the daughter of the high-ranking and powerful Taishi was also favored by the relatives of the Nanhua Emperor and intended to marry.
Wen Yu still holds the determination to gain fame and fame, and studies seriously.
After going down the mountain ten years ago and hearing about Wen Yu and Old Man Liu, Wen Hao and Qin Yu also stayed in Yecheng and started a butcher's business of selling meat.
Two years ago, Wen Yu's eldest brother Liu Fangren also went to the border to join the army under Wen Yu's farewell, and there has been no news since.
"Yu'er, go buy some fresh lotus leaves, business is very good today, your father and I can't be busy" A middle-aged woman's gentle voice came from the front of the stall.
Wen Yu put down the book in his hand and replied, "Okay, mother, I'll come when I go."
After Wen Yu left
"Madam, I said, how can you disturb Yu'er from studying?" A middle-aged man scolded lightly, they were Wen Hao and Qin Yu ten years ago.
"Yes, yes, I'll buy it, don't be busy with you" Qin Yu threw down the meat knife, dried his hands with his apron, and hurriedly untied it and ran in the direction of Wen Yu.
Wen Hao picked up the meat knife thrown by his wife in his left hand, held his own meat knife in his right hand, and stomped on the meat foam, with a smile on his face.
Wen Yu came to the grandmother's house at Qiaotou who sold lotus leaves, bought lotus leaves and was about to go back when she saw Qin Yu coming.
Wen Yu asked puzzled, "Mother, why are you here?"
Qin Yu ran forward and hurriedly took the lotus leaf, and wiped Wen Yu's sweat with her sleeve, in fact, she didn't know that it was herself who was sweating.
"Let's go, go home, my mother will make you your favorite fried crispy pork at night."
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore, I should do something for you," Wen Yu said helplessly.
Qin Yu smiled softly and said, "You will always be Daddy's child."
Wen Yu, who returned home, looked at her parents who were busy before and after, and wanted to help several times, but was told by the two elders not to make trouble and study hard.
Because of the good business, the butcher shop was closed early, Wen Hao and Wen Yu sat at the dining table drinking tea, and the aroma of Qin Yu's dinner came from the kitchen.
At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, Wen Hao got up to open the door, and a man in black threw out a dart and inserted it into the door frame, and rode away quickly.
Wen Hao pulled out the dart, and there was a letter tied to it, he slowly opened it, his face changed from serious to pale, and suddenly he collapsed towards the dining table and knocked over the teapot.
Wen Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Dad"
Qin Yu, who heard the sound in the kitchen, also hurriedly ran out and walked quickly to Wen Hao's side.
"What's the matter, Xianggong"
Wen Hao didn't speak, just handed the note to Qin Yu, Qin Yu opened it, hugged Wen Hao and said, "Xianggong, mourning"
Wen Yu, who didn't know why, took the letter and read it carefully
"The old man is gone, please return quickly" is only seven words
Wen Yu had never heard her parents say that she still had relatives, so she asked, "Dad, this..."
"Yu'er, this is your grandfather and my father, named Wen Jiang, it's time to tell you" Wen Hao slowly sat down in his chair
"Our Wen family is the biggest businessman in the imperial capital of Tianzi City, because after my father and your mother met, your grandfather opposed our marriage, so we left home to live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, it has been eighteen years, and then we also have you"
I see, Wen Yu poured tea for his father again, "Father, then we..."
"Madam, pack your luggage, tomorrow morning we will leave Tianzi City and send the old man on his last journey" Wen Hao said to Qin Yu
Qin Yu pushed Wen Hao and replied, "Are you sure you want to go to Tianzi City?" But Yu'er"
Wen Hao looked at Wen Yu and said, "This is our family's Yu'er, so naturally we want to worship his grandfather."
Wen Yu also nodded
Qin Yu walked into the room and began to pack his luggage. She gently opened the red wooden box, there was a delicate jade pendant inside, she took out the jade pendant, I don't know what she was thinking? The important jade pendant didn't dare to be placed in Yecheng, so it could only be carried with him, and then the jade pendant was re-wrapped, put it back in the wooden box, and put it in the luggage.
Next
Wen Yu and the others closed the door, bought a carriage, drove it by Wen Hao, and left the city where they had lived for ten years.
In the Wen family's secret room
"Second master, what are your orders" A masked man appeared behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned around, and it turned out that he was Wen Hao's younger brother Wen Xi.
"My eldest brother will be back soon, I hope you will be halfway..."
Then he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and said, "This is a deposit of 10,000 taels, after the matter is completed, I will go to Laoyin Mountain to thank you masters."
The masked man took the silver ticket and disappeared outside the secret room
"Big brother, don't blame me, so much money, it can only be mine, hahahaha, my money"
But he didn't understand at all that if it was for money, Wen Hao would not have left at the beginning.
