The maid at the side came over to take a look, "This lady is so weird. She buys wine when she wants to buy wine. Why does she even send the word 'birthday' to her young mistress?"
"There's actually such a strange thing?"
Wen Jiu held the eight thousand silver in his hand, and for the first time in his life, he felt that this thing .. Hot!
How was this Madam Hou here to buy wine?
So he wanted to buy her elder brother to be his son-in-law ..
This time, the joke was too big!
Wen Jiu didn't have time to think as he quickly stepped out of the door. Outside the door, the noble lady had long disappeared.
It was clear that he would not give her the chance to refuse.
"Young Madame, what are you looking at?"
The maids behind him asked in confusion.
Wen Jiu put the banknotes in the card and turned to say: "Tomorrow morning, the winery will be opened. It will be very early in the morning, you guys should go back to the house and rest early."
The servants were already used to Wen Jiu not leaving home once he got busy, so they retreated. Before he left, the last one did not forget to remind him, "Young Madame remembers to return home before nightfall.
"Alright, I understand."
Wen Jiu knew that they were going to say "family law" and his mouth was twitching slightly, "You guys go back first, if the general returns, we will go back and forth."
She paused for a moment, then said, "About that, tell me that I'm busy in the shop, and I won't be going back today."
Today was a special occasion. She took the eight thousand silver and the invitation from the direct descendant of the Marquis Yongchang Palace to return home.
Since she couldn't return late, she might as well not return it.
Wen Jiu sat behind the counter and calculated rapidly.
Not a single person in the Dijing was a simple character.
It was extremely guarded against him, even Wen Jiu wouldn't stay in the General's House anymore. He couldn't guard against the feelings the ladies had for Xie Heng.
Her winery had not even opened, and she already had trouble coming knocking on her door.
What should he do in the future?
Although the eldest brother was going to get married sooner or later, the result of marrying someone he liked was completely different from marrying someone he didn't have a good impression of.
Outside, it was getting dark.
Wen Jiu supported his chin with his hand, as he thought about it with a slight headache. He gradually began to feel sleepy.
At this moment, there was suddenly a "geji" sound as someone pushed open the door and walked in.
Wen Jiu squatted behind the counter, and immediately became weak, and immediately said: "Brother Zhang! I'll be right back! "Immediately .."
Before he could finish.
The youth with a cold face walked to the front of the counter. He looked at her and asked, "What are you doing? Are you afraid of him being this scared?"
"Third Brother?"
Wen Jiu stuck his head out from behind the counter, upon seeing that it was Xie Xuan, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed: "When did Third Brother return?"
As long as it was not Xie Heng.
She was feeling a little weak right now.
Xie Xuan didn't say a word, and only looked at her calmly.
Wen Jiu knew that he was someone who needed to hear a response to a question. Unconsciously, she reached out and fiddled with the abacus bead, saying in a low voice, "Blame? "No, I didn't do anything .."
"It's like you've seen a ghost when you see me."
Xie Xuan said expressionlessly: "Why are you afraid to see Eldest Brother today?"
Wen Jiu, "... Third Brother, is it really okay for you to describe yourself as a ghost? "
And ..
Did she have such a guilty conscience?
Xie Xuan's handsome face darkened, "Since you didn't do anything shameful, why are you not daring to return home?"
Every time the Third Brother questioned him, he would be on the verge of death.
Wen Jiu was speechless for a moment, and then silently passed the invitation over, "Third Brother will know after reading it."
Xie Xuan took it and opened it. The first thing he saw was 820 votes, on the card was the name of the young miss of the Marquis Yongchang Palace, and the name of the birth date. "
The youth's face quickly darkened, in the end, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he directly slammed the letter and silver notes onto the counter, and shouted: Wen Jiu! What hatred do you and I have? You want to humiliate me like this! "
"Third Brother... "Calm down."
Wen Jiu was shocked by his actions. She quietly took the banknotes and placed them in the corner of the counter, her voice becoming softer, "It's not you this time, it's really not ... "Don't look at me like that, I'm opening a winery to sell alcohol, not a pigeonhole to pull pimps."
Who knows what she said wrong, Xie Xuan's face became even uglier: "What did you say?"
In this cold winter, the youth stood a step away from her, his entire body overflowing with chilliness. Wen Jiu was shivering because of his cold, and the lamps on the counter were almost extinguished by the wind.
The flame was bright and extinguished, while the youth's face and eyes were half hidden in the darkness.
The seventeen year old Xie Xuan was clearly just a piece of cloth, but when she felt the chill from her body, it made people feel fear and trepidation for no reason.
Wen Jiu pushed to the side and reached out his hand to help the candle flame block the wind. After a while, the room regained its light.
And also clearly saw that Xie Xuan's dark and cold gaze was always on her body.
"..." Third Brother, calm down first. No, you warm up first. " Wen Jiu pushed the candle flame in front of the youth. In this cold weather, there were only Xie Xuan and her in this huge wine shop.
It was too cold.
Wen Jiu thought about it and decided to answer honestly, "That afternoon, the Madam of Yongchang Mansion suddenly came over to buy wine. Here, this eight thousand silver is the deposit, then she said that I must go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, and stuffed this card in."
She was also confused!
From the looks of it, it was fortunate that there were no kitchen knives on the counter, otherwise, with Xie Xuan's anger, he could have directly slashed at her without her being able to dodge.
Xie Xuan still did not speak a word, the cold energy around his body slightly weakened.
Wen Jiu carried the big plan in his arms, and only then did he feel a sense of security. He continued to speak to him: "I've thought about it for a long time, this young lady who's going to make a marriage gift tomorrow should have taken a fancy to eldest brother. Third Brother, you can be at ease for now. "
Xie Xuan pursed her lips, "Temporarily?"
Wen Jiu muttered to himself for a moment, before promising, "At least we can relax this year."
When next spring came, she wouldn't be able to guarantee anything.
"Wen Jiu!"
In front of her, Xie Xuan seemed to be unable to control his temper.
He felt like he was about to explode.
"That's not up to me."
Wen Jiu's fingertip slashed across the bead, lightly pinched his fingers, lifted his eyes, and said with a sincere face: "Third Brother, you were born to be a scoundrel, ah."
I can't blame her.
In his previous life, even if Wen Jiu didn't interact much with him, he still had many ladies entangled with him.
Xie Xuan turned and left with a darkened face.
"Sigh, Third Brother!"
Wen Jiu immediately stopped him, "What are you doing here? Why did he leave just like that? Why don't you help me think of a way to deal with that young lady from the Marquis Yongchang Palace! " No matter what, he was still a future Chief Minister, and his ability to come up with ideas was top-notch.
"There's nothing to think about."
Xie Xuan turned around and said expressionlessly: "Wait for elder brother to take care of you!"
Wen Jiu's face stiffened, "..."
Third Brother must be here to take revenge on her, right?
Can you not be so blabbermouth?
