After a while.
Only then did the youth curse out in annoyance, ”What rotten peach blossom did you confess to?”
Wen Jiu was aggrieved, ”... I didn't even say a few words to him. ”
Xie Heng rubbed between his brows: ”He didn't say anything, and just came knocking to propose?”
”This matter is really so outrageous!” Xie Wanjin came over and explained to Miss Wen, ”It is said that Royal Uncle Yang did not have enough silver when he was in Yongle Workshop. Jiu borrowed eight hundred silver from him. This person is probably crazy, seeing as our Jiu is a gold and silver mountain, wanting to move our own home. ”
”Why didn't I just cut him down?!” Xie Heng raised his leg and started walking, but his sleeves were pulled by Wen Jiu, and in just two steps, he was pulled.
Wen Jiu said helplessly: ”I will cut it, I have already cut it.”
Most likely, Royal Uncle Yang would never ever step half a step into the General's Mansion again in his lifetime.
Only then did Xie Heng remember something, and he asked Wen Jiu: ”Who else did you lend over the silver?”
Wen Jiu thought about it carefully, then said, ”There's nothing else.”
Xie Wanjin said: ”Think about it more carefully.”
Wen Jiu said: ”There's really nothing else, my silver is not hot, who can lend it to anyone?”
Xie Xuan asked faintly, ”How long has it been since you lent that eight hundred silver? Did you accept the profits? ”
”Third Brother is right! ”I have to figure out clearly, don't let him have a reason to visit again.” Xie Wanjin echoed: ”This kind of person is the most shameless. If I become poor and mad and give up my life, what if I have to go all out against you?”
Xie Heng said: ”Give me the sword.”
”Elder brother!” Wen Jiu tugged on the youth's sleeve without letting go, and took a deep breath in: ”The sky is about to turn dark, let's eat dinner first.”
She felt it was good to be an old maid for the rest of her life.
There weren't that many rotten peach blossoms. They were all quiet and devoted to earning money. Nothing was better than this.
Old Madame Xie slowly walked out. ”Alright, let's think of a way to deal with this mess. After all, he is the empress's younger brother. Right now, our entire family is in Dijing, so you shouldn't act too arrogantly. ”
Wen Jiu said in unison towards the three young masters of Xie Family: ”I will remember Grandmother's teachings.”
The Third Madame Xie said: ”It's only right that we pay back the debts. If we leave this matter at the top, we will have to take back the silver.”
Wen Jiu laughed helplessly: ”Yes.”
The Old Madame Xie walked over and pulled Wen Jiu along as he said, ”Today is only the one and only Royal Uncle Yang. We don't know who will come tomorrow, so your brothers will naturally protect you. Quietly tell Grandmother, is there anyone within the Dijing City that you like? ”
Xie Heng stood with his hands behind his back, playing with his peach blossom with his fair fingertips.
Xie Xuan remained expressionless.
Only Fourth Young Master laughed so much that his smile turned faint, ”Grandmother, are you still asking about it? We all heard it. ”
Old Madame Xie turned around and said, ”You guys don't know how to cover your ears? Hold them all! Dong Feng, Xuan, especially you … Wan Jin, go far away! ”
The group of attendant maids lowered their heads and snickered.
Xie Heng and Third Young Master walked side by side under the Peach Blossom Tree. Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of the girl dressed in a yellow dress.
Xie Wanjin reached out to catch the petal of the peach blossom, and said with disappointment: ”I'm a little worried.”
Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, ”Shut up.”
Fourth Young Master continued to speak with melancholy: ”What if Jiu told Grandmother that the person she likes is me?”
Xie Heng kicked him, ”Scram.”
Fourth Young Master was aggrieved: ”I'm serious …”
Xie Xuan was startled: ”Scram.”
