Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 741 I Passed by, Begging for a Drink (3 More)
Seeing her hesitation, Song Wei said softly, "Since you have told your mother-in-law in advance that you don't want to see Lu Yanqing, presumably she won't arrange for you to meet even if you go to celebrate the New Year."

Wen Wan listened, felt reasonable, nodded in agreement and said: "That's true, if mother really arranges for me to meet Lu Yanqing against my will, then I will turn my face on the spot."

Song Wei smiled and rubbed her head, "The resentment is too heavy."

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, "That's right, the grievances of eighty lives have gathered on me, if I see that person, I will eat him alive!"

The next day, the second day of the new year.

Wen Wan took her husband, plus the three children Yuan Bao, Jin Bao and Qi Bao, and took a carriage to the Marquis of Changning.

There is only one street between Changning Hou Mansion and Song Mansion, not too far away, it is just a turn off Rongsheng Street.

After getting off the car, there was a mother in charge waiting outside.

Seeing Wen Wan, she smiled and said, "I heard that you are coming, the eldest princess is very happy. I asked people to dress up and wait early in the morning. Princess, Mr. Song, please come in quickly, Young Master Song."

Wen Wan and his group followed the mother in charge to the front hall.

Lu Xingzhou was not there, and Lu Yanli didn't like to cry, so the whole mansion was as quiet as if no one lived there.

When Wen Wan stepped into the hall, she first glanced around, and quickly confirmed that Lu Yanqing was not there, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, being a mother is reasonable enough not to force her to do something she doesn't want to do.

Zhao Xunyin saw through Wen Wan's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "That kid left yesterday."

Wen Wan was taken aback, "Gone? Where are you going?"

"Ningzhou."

Wen Wan remembered that Zhao Xunyin once said that once Lu Yanqing came back, he would go to Ningzhou to kowtow to Wen Guangping to make amends as soon as possible.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Lu Yanqing left as soon as he arrived in the capital, but he didn't know whether his "apology" was voluntary or forced.

After calling a few people to sit down, Zhao Xunyin said slowly: "I went to Lu's house a few days ago, and when I came back, I heard Doukou said that he had left. No one in the courtyard could stop him. He left too suddenly, and I was also late. I just found out."

Wen Wan was very worried about Wen Guangping, "Isn't he going after his adoptive father?"

"I have asked the hidden guards to follow." Zhao Xunyin said truthfully, "And judging from his performance when he came back, this kid seems to have calmed down a lot, so he won't do anything deviant again."

……

Lu Yanqing left Beijing and headed south all the way, heading towards Ningzhou.

He didn't have much money on his body. Zhao Xunyin gave him 100 taels that day, and he spent 50 taels for inquiring about the news. The rest was spent a few tens of pennies on a bamboo hat, two taels to a teahouse, and a self-defense dagger before he came. And a pair of knee pads, there are 43 taels left.

He is used to the harsh conditions in Mobei, so he lived in ordinary inns along the way, and even lived in woodsheds when they were full, eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

The hidden guards who followed in the dark were very worried and wanted to rush out several times to treat him to a good meal.

Lu Yanqing had never met Wen Guangping before. After entering the border of Ningzhou, he had to ask for all the news with his mouth. If he met someone with a good heart, he would just tell him where to go. For those who were greedy for money, they had to pay with money to pry their mouths open.

After some inquiries, when he arrived at Wen's house in the county seat, he only had 35 taels of silver left on him.

Standing outside the gate of Wen's house, looking at the brand-new couplets on both sides and the fresh firecracker scraps on the ground, Lu Yanqing walked forward hesitantly. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a rooster crowing from inside.

Then, a boy's voice sounded, "Father, I'll kill the chicken. Go to the kitchen and help me boil more hot water. I need it later."

The person who spoke was Wen Wen, and the one he called Dad was Wen Wan's adoptive father, Wen Guangping.

Hearing this, Father Wen obviously disagreed, "You haven't been home since the Chinese New Year, how can there be any reason to see blood when you go home? Just stay and go!"

"Hey, am I busy with business? Dad, you don't know that those noble ladies in Fucheng like to choose rouge and gouache as gifts for the New Year. The more expensive the more prestige, the more they like it. Guess what, just for a few days , how much did I earn?"

Father Wen snorted softly, "I'm in a small business, where can I guess the profit of your makeup shop?"

When he said this, Wen Wen felt more fulfilled, "In just a few days from the 300th day of the new year to the sixth day of the new year, I made a net profit of [-] taels. How about it, isn't it amazing?"

Father Wen asked him, "Except for the cost, is there a net profit of 300 taels?"

"That's right!" Wen Shun said proudly, "I said a long time ago that women are the easiest to make money in this area, especially the dignified ladies. As long as they can ensure that there are good products on the counter, they will not be afraid of them. Will repurchase, for personal use, for family members, for friends in the boudoir, people will choose the best ones to buy, they will give it away, and I will earn money.”

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Father Wen, then pinched the rooster's neck with one hand and the kitchen knife with the other, raised the knife and dropped it, the big red-haired rooster thrashed twice before swallowing.

All the jobs were robbed, so Father Wen had to sit aside and look at him with scrutiny, "Okay, you boy, you really made a name for yourself."

While plucking chicken feathers, Wen Shun responded to Father Wen's words, "The 300 taels will be given to you as a child's filial piety. I don't want a penny."

Father Wen asked him, "Give it all to me, let the guys in your shop drink the northwest wind?"

"Look at what you said, without 300 taels, can my shop be closed?" He added: "When I went to Fucheng, it was my mother who secretly took 200 taels of silver for me, so that I can have today. It will be returned to you, including interest, it will be three hundred."

Father Wen said with a smile: "Since you have the heart, then I will not be polite."

"You are welcome."

After Wen Wen finished speaking, she hummed a little song and continued to iron the chicken feathers.

The conversation between the father and son was heard verbatim in Lu Yanqing's ears. He slowly withdrew his hand that was stretched out to knock on the door, and turned around to leave.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened.

The person who came out was Father Wen. Seeing a dark-skinned young man outside, he asked him, "Brother, what's the matter with you?"

Lu Yan stayed where he was, staring at Father Wen in a daze.

Father Wen didn't hear the answer for a long time, so he asked again.

Lu Yanqing moved his lips, his voice was weak, "I'm passing by, begging for a drink."
