The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Chapter 38 Sandpiper and Clam Family
The next day, Wen Dalang accompanied the bride back home.

Wen Yu sat in the room, tapping her fan on the table, feeling a little restless.

After the wedding, my grandfather couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go back urgently.Now several heads of the Wen family are talking in the front, and it may involve them.

I hope that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will gain...

At this moment, in the front study room, Mr. Wen and his wife, Wen Qian, Wen Feng and Wen Shuo, were sitting together to discuss family matters.

Wen Shuo is really not a fool, he cares deeply about the old man. He has to test the temperature of the tea and fill the cigarette bag in time.Hand towels, spit papers, and throat pills are also fully prepared.

His endless filial piety made Wen Feng's face change from one moment to contempt to another to ridicule to annoyance...

But Wen Qian didn't care at all, and was talking about his trip to the capital: "It will take half a year for my son to take care of his duties and clean up the house. Father, you are already this age, so you simply become an official." , leave the matter of the property to your third brother. In half a year, you and your mother will go to Beijing together to take care of yourself."

Wen Shuo was a little surprised and glanced at a few people.

But the old man shook his head, "In my job, I don't care about the actual things, just for the sake of name. It's just like this. However, your third brother can't pick up the property in your hands. I won't go to the capital yet."

Although the old lady had expected this, she felt more at ease after hearing it with her own ears.She was not willing to let this old guy go, but she was also afraid that he would be a waste and she would let her eldest son bear the reputation of being unfilial, which would affect her future.

Wen Qian continued to advise: "Father, there is always more to do. My son's career will go smoothly. The things in your hands are not as difficult as before. You can always take care of them. If you step back, in a few days It’s not a bad day to have some free time.”

Old Man Wen sneered in his heart: What's the matter, you just got promoted and you're planning to reach out to me?
In your dreams!

"Leisure life...heh, I'm not that lucky. Besides, although the Wen family has some property, it really doesn't have much support for your career. We don't know what's going on in the capital yet. You should carefully consider yourself. Let’s do it! The higher you go, the more careful you have to be! If something goes wrong, it’s not a trivial matter! It will drag down the whole family! So, please don’t worry about me yet.”

"Then... just listen to what father wants." Of course Wen Qian understood what his father was thinking.He was also sneering in his heart, thinking too much!The thing in your hand, at the moment, I really don’t want to reach out.

After all, official position comes first.If you don’t have an official position, you may not be able to hold it firmly even if you spend a long time trying to get it.

But if my official position goes well, then... how will you compete with me?I worked so hard to keep it for my third child, but I was able to get it without any effort!

Everyone had their own thoughts and was silent for a while.

The Wen family's property has two important parts, one is the mine and the other is the wharf.

After Mr. Wen and his wife had a falling out, according to certain procedures, they separated from each other.The old lady got the dock and the old man got the mine.

The wharf is the old lady's resource, including the fourth wife who took it over after the Liu family's family was ruined.But she couldn't take care of it. Wen Qian was an official and couldn't care about it. Wen Feng was incompetent and frivolous.Therefore, I have been working hard and not making much money.In the past few years, after being handed over to Song Wu, the situation suddenly improved.

The old lady can sit and collect cash now!Even if you move to the capital, there is nothing to worry about.

The old man's ore has to be exported, and a large part of it has to be transported by water via the dock.The dock is very busy every day. If you can give him more schedules, it is like giving money.

Therefore, the old man wanted to fawn over Song Wu.

The mining industry, although the profits in terms of profits are very scary, has always made the old lady jealous.But in fact, after a long time of tossing, only a few of them came into your hands.

The costs and fees are too much.All the officials in the capital will reach out, and even the eunuchs in the palace and the stewards of Prince Wu's Mansion will benefit from it.

Now it is: The old man and the old lady both guard their own property, but they are jealous of each other's.

In the past, the two old men worked hard to see who would die later.

As long as the other party dies, it will be beneficial to oneself.

But now, the balance has been broken: Wen Qian's rise has put more pressure on the old lady's side.

Mr. Wen is too contradictory. If his eldest son is promoted, he can be more assertive and not be divided so much.But...if I don't want to be divided up by others, I worry that I won't be able to escape from the boss's grasp.Damn it!
The old man's heart was churning. What he can do now is to ensure his long life.One is to control the dead old woman and boss.

"Boss, why did I hear that you are leaving this time and don't plan to take Wen Yu with you?"

Wen Qian felt a little annoyed when he heard his father ask, how could a man like to play such a trick...

"Father, Sister Yu has been with her mother since childhood, honoring her mother on behalf of her son...my mother can't live without her. After half a year, she will go with her."

"Haha, haha! Mrs. Song, Wen Yuda is following you. Even if the Chen family loses power and the Chen family dies early, you won't want to see her. But after all, she is your biological granddaughter! But you, you don't even have a coming-of-age ceremony. Why don’t you do it, you really don’t want to be decent at all!? This news has all reached me!"

The old man never had a good tone when talking to the old lady.

The old lady was not in a hurry: "Sir, Sister Yu's horoscope was approved by Master Guangzhi."

"Fate... It doesn't matter what others say. My grandmother also said the same thing. You are so cruel."

"Of course I don't believe it, but I have to be careful! What if someone in this family encounters something bad and they start looking for it?!" I'm talking about you, an old guy!
Mr. Wen still doesn’t know that the dead old woman is talking about him?

He snorted with a bad face.

The old lady continued calmly: "Now that Sister Yu is an adult, her destiny has been taken care of. How could I not pay attention to my eldest granddaughter! After that day, everything will be gone It’s on track.”

Wen Qian had no patience to argue about this: "Father, my son has already told Wen Yu that before going to Beijing, he will give her the dowry left by the Chen family. In the past six months, let her learn how to fight with her mother and second siblings. Let’s manage the industry.”

Wen Feng and Wen Shuo were both a little surprised, but did not speak.

But the old man directly ordered, "Call Sister Yu!"

The old lady glanced at the old man, didn't he believe it? !Can your son deceive you in front of your face?He doesn't look like a father at all!I despise him even more.

After a while, Wen Yu came and came in to greet him and salute properly.

The old man didn't hesitate, "Wen Yu, your father said he would give you your mother's dowry before leaving. What do you think?" He really didn't believe it.

"Grandpa, my father has already told his granddaughter. The granddaughter thought that since it is her mother's dowry, the next step is natural."

The old man snorted coldly in his heart and looked at Wen Yu, "You are a woman and have never learned this. How can you take care of it if you just take it over?"

"Everything has a beginning. My granddaughter has been studying these days. Moreover, when she saw her fifth cousin the day before yesterday, she shamelessly asked her for help. My cousin has already agreed."

"What?!" Old man Wen, the old lady, and Wen Qian were all surprised.

"Well, my cousin said that he would send some people to help me take it over first, and then, after my granddaughter has trained her own manpower, he will have people take it back!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that the old lady had a bad look on her face, he laughed out loud, "Okay! She is indeed my granddaughter. She is really capable of calling people! Even you, who has three melons and two dates, are so embarrassed. Open your mouth to your cousin.”

Wen Yu lowered his head in embarrassment.

The old lady was really unhappy. Without her knowledge, Wen Yu asked Song Wu to help with this matter...

She is willing to let her grandchildren get close to Song Shang, but not in such a way!
Wulang knows the rules and is not easy to talk to!
Why did he agree?You didn’t even say a word to me!

This is... I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
