”You came at the perfect time.”
Third Madame Xie said: ”Jiu has set her eyes on a clothing store. Take some silver and go get it with her.”
Xie Wanjin was in disbelief, ”mother, you're not having a fever, right?”
As he said that, he extended his hand towards Third Madame Xie's forehead. He did not forget to instruct the maid beside him, ”Go and get a doctor.”
”You stinking brat!” Would you mind if I did? ”
Third Madame Xie reached out to pinch his ears.
Xie Wanjin immediately took a step back and looked at Wen Jiu with a somewhat astonished expression.
Wen Jiu's eyes were filled with laughter, ”It's already late, I won't disturb your conversation with Fourth Brother anymore. We'll talk more about it tomorrow.”
With that, she led the maids out of East Peace Courtyard.
Xie Wanjin looked at her back for a long time, then turned and asked: ”mother, what are you singing about?”
In the past, when he was in Spirit State City, he fought with his sister at home. After he married Xie Yucheng, he was able to compare himself to his two sister-in-law in public and in secret.
Ever since he had come to the Dijing, he had been pondering about the power over the General's Mansion every single day.
What kind of medicine did he eat wrong today to suddenly treat Wen Jiu so well?
”Haven't you noticed?”
Third Madame Xie sat down to drink his tea, and looked at himself with displeasure, ”Your two cousins both came empty-handed with Dijing, and now with this huge General's Mansion, this dozens of people, big and small, let alone the expenses, the winery and the infirmary are so big, where did the money come from?”
Xie Wanjin laughed: ”Jiu earned it!”
He sat down beside Third Madame Xie and asked curiously: ”Who doesn't know of the entire Dijing City, the famous Little Tyrant Xie is raised by Boss Wen?”
”You don't believe me when I say you're stupid!”
Third Madame Xie was disappointed, he raised his hand and smacked the Fourth Young Master on the head.
Xie Wanjin laughed helplessly: ”mother, your attacks are getting heavier!”
He wondered what she was planning.
Ever since he was young, whenever someone said that Fourth Young Master was inferior to the eldest young master, he had always been like this.
He thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, ”mother, you can't be thinking of …”
”I've said it from the start, Jiu is not a simple girl. Today, I'll settle the accounts with her in the accounts room, and I feel that this lady is becoming more and more difficult to come by.”
The Third Madame Xie told him about Wen Jiu's plans to open house and Golden Jade Pavilion, and the more he said the happier he got, ”Now that there's no one else in the Wen Family and the old mistress likes her so much, she must be someone that can be chosen from our young masters. ”If only she had that little bit of meaning towards you …”
”Wait! ”Hold on.”
Xie Wanjin immediately stopped her, his face full of mystery.
Before he could say anything.
Third Madame Xie asked: What are you waiting for? He couldn't wait! Your elder brother only looked at Jai Jun, but he was still not enlightened. In the second room, Cheng Li only knew how to nibble on his books, and that stinking brat like you really liked girls. You have to be ahead of them and take Wen Jiu down! Think about it, since she can earn so much money, if you were to marry her, what will you have to worry about for the rest of your life? ”
When Third Madame Xie talked, he did not get a chance for Xie Wanjin to interrupt him.
He waited for her to finish.
Fourth Young Master laughed until her dimple, ”mother, I can earn money myself.”
”If you are half as smart as Jiu, I won't worry about it!” Third Madame Xie went back to his room to take out a stack of silver bills and put it in Xie Wanjin's hands, ”Give all of these to Jiu, whether she wants to buy the shop or the manor, it will all be up to her!”
Fourth Young Master held a large stack of banknotes, and was completely immersed in his thought: There's actually someone who can get such a huge stack of banknotes from mother.
Amazing, amazing!
The Third Madame Xie continued, ”Do you know how much you have spent time with her? You have spent all of your time and effort on her? Stop joking around with the maids and maids! It just doesn't seem reliable! ”
”mother is right, everything you said is true …”
Xie Wanjin said as he retreated, ”I thank you for your money on behalf of Jiu, let's go!”
”This child!”
Third Madame Xie originally had a lot of things to say, but after seeing him like this, he could only smile and curse.
He thought about how good it would be if Wen Jiu became her daughter-in-law.
The heavens had been kind to her.
Without a daughter, it would be great if he could have a daughter-in-law like her.
Xie Wanjin sent the silver bills to Wen Jiu and could not help but ask, ”What exactly did you tell my mother?”
It was simply plucking feathers from a steel rooster!
