There was wine.

”I heard that the Xie Family Third Young Master rejected the marriage, and Seventh Princess caused a ruckus at the General's Mansion that night. I heard that she even smashed the door …”

”What's that?” His Xie Family was currently the new aristocracy, and his saint's household was at the peak. He was the emperor's most beloved Seventh Princess, yet Xie Xiuyuan had said that he wouldn't marry her, so he didn't! ”I heard …” The middle-aged man who was just speaking lowered his voice, ”When Xie Xiuyuan refused the marriage, he said that the clan was poor, and could not marry a princess, so we can still say these words when Xie Family arrived. Now, who doesn't know that the Young Madame is a money-grubbing god, and is still saying that the family is poor, who would believe it?”

”To lie nonsense in front of the emperor, if it were anyone else, wouldn't the entire family be executed?!”

Who asked him to be the younger brother of the Little Tyrant Xie? It's naturally different from others! ”

The Third Young Master was successful in one fell swoop, but at the time when he was in the limelight, he rejected Seventh Princess Zhao Yu's marriage. Those influential families did not dare to go against the wind to discuss marriage at General's Mansion, and quickly ran over here with their scholars to have a drink, Yang Yuankong.

The building was packed with people, and the discussion was even more so going on without a break.

”Jiu, this is the silver you have won, and both brother and I will take your share.” Xie Wanjin had just brought over the gambling den's worth of silver in a wooden box. Hearing everyone's words, he couldn't help but find it funny.

Fourth Young Master leaned against the counter and laughed. ”These people are really interesting, with such a huge Dijing City, how can it be bad to gossip? Yet, they have to run over to you and say it. It's so sour, are they drinking wine or vinegar?”

Wen Jiu opened the box and saw the stack of silver notes. His eyes lit up, and he did not care much as he said: ”Who cares what they say, we will pay for the wine.”

”Mm …” Xie Wanjin thought for a bit, then laughed faintly, ”Jiu's words are reasonable.”

”Fourth Brother, I'll watch for a while.” Wen Jiu ordered Jin Er to get him some tea while he carried the box to the backyard.

There are many people here, so no matter what time it is, money must not be revealed.

”Jiu! Jiu... I'm not finished yet. ”

Xie Wanjin felt that his mother loved money as if it were his life.

Jin Er brought some tea over, ”Fourth Young Master, please have some tea.”

Xie Wanjin turned around and smiled at the little maid, ”Beautiful girl, you're not too kind.”

Jin Er was stupefied. ”Fourth Young Master, why am I not kind anymore?”

The Fourth Young Master spoke with a serious tone: ”We are selling wine, and yet you offer me tea, what is the meaning of this?”

Jin Er said: ”It was Young Madame who asked for tea.”

”Oh.” Xie Wanjin bent down and said gently: ”Then come closer.”

Jin Er did not understand, and followed the order hesitantly.

Fourth Young Master reached out his hand to caress the little maid's cheek, then used that hand to hold the teacup. He took a sip, and said with a sigh, ”It smells so good.”

”Fourth Young Master! ”You …”

Jin Er's reaction was slow, and his face turned red.

This Fourth Young Master was different from the other two male masters in the palace. It was better that the few of them who were with the Young Madame were played by him, as they had only arrived a short while ago.

Who would have thought that he would still fall today.

Xie Wanjin put down his tea cup, lifted the curtain and headed to the backyard as he smiled: ”Hundred Flowers Hall's rouge isn't bad. Jiu, let's buy the shop together next time.”

In the backyard.

Wen Jiu counted the banknotes three times, trying to figure out how many places to buy.

Hearing Fourth Young Master's words, she raised her head and laughed: ”Fourth Brother, if you continue to play with the little girl by my side, I will inform Third Aunt.”

”You go.” Xie Wanjin had a fearless look on his face as he said, ”When the time comes, I will find Grandmother and take away all the little beauties by your side.”

Wen Jiu locked the wooden box, hid it under the table, got up and said: ”Then I'll talk to my elder brother and Third Brother.”

”Wait, wait!” Xie Wanjin panicked when he heard her, and quickly pulled her back.

Fourth Young Master smiled ingratiatingly, ”Third Brother is currently sitting on a bench in the Han Lin Courtyard, so I don't feel too good about it. Elder Brother is so busy, don't trouble them anymore.”

Although Old Emperor did not punish Xie Xuan, he was still worried. He threw Xie Xiuyuan into the Han Lin Courtyard to do the paperwork for him to write down. He did not know when he would be able to recover.

Outsiders only knew that Young Master Xie Family had made great achievements, but they did not know how much trouble he had suffered.
