Wanjin Lady

Chapter 178 Return Gift
This is really timely relief!
Wen Wan ordered Hong Mei to take the red envelope, and then said to Cheng Yunzhang with a smile: "The one who understands me is Brother Xiu Wen."

Cheng Yunzhang pursed his lips.

My heart seemed to be moved by the word "Senior Brother".

"Since it suits Junior Sister's wishes, then the solution to the Four Symbols Convergence is—"

"That's easy. You and I are family now, and we shouldn't argue. I'll write the solution to you later."

Ok.

This time Cheng Yunzhang was also satisfied.

Win-win.

Old Master Yao placed a heavy stack of books on the table and said, "These are the Four Books and Five Classics."

Wen Wan was dumbfounded.

"My two sons have both passed the Jinshi exam, and even my two daughters-in-law come from scholarly families. They may not be eloquent, but they've certainly read a lot of classics. Since you're pregnant and it's not convenient for you to move around, I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I sent you these books."

Seeing Wenwan's expression cracking inch by inch, Yao Shizhen had a hard time suppressing the curve of his lips. You see, he can make this girl speechless now!

"It just so happens that your stepmother and I are planning to move into the city soon—"

Wen Weiming quickly asked, "Brother Yao, if you want to move into the county, have you found a place?"

The yard at Aunt Liu's place is still empty. If all else fails... you can live in Wen's house.

"It doesn't matter where we live. We plan to stay with Xiu Wen first. He's going to retire the year after next, so time is tight."

Wen Weiming couldn't help but look at Cheng Yunzhang again.

Oh, this Wenquxing will take part in the Spring Examination the year after next?
Old Master Yao didn't forget to assign homework to Wen Wan. "I'm moving to Xiu Wen's place, not far from you. Come here every ten days, and I'll assign you homework, whether it's writing, poetry, or sutras. Girl, you have to catch up quickly, otherwise your second brother will definitely laugh at you."

At this moment, Wenwan’s world seemed to have collapsed!
She originally thought that after sending Zhao Heng away and establishing a relationship with Old Man Yao, there was no movement from the third branch of the Yuan family, and the winery was running well, she could finally lie down comfortably and take care of her pregnancy.

I never thought... I would have to go through senior year of high school again?
Wen Weiming agreed very much and said cheerfully, "This girl can't sit still. Even when she's pregnant, she still keeps checking the account books. Brother Yao, please take the trouble to teach her about academic matters. Who knows, maybe my eldest grandson will be able to pass the imperial examinations like Master Cheng and bring honor to the family!"

The eldest grandson who wears the top scholar's robe and rides a horse in a parade, his surname is Wen!
Just thinking about it made Old Man Wen smile from ear to ear.

"Okay, I just wrote an article a few days ago called 'The Way to Secure the Nation and the Army'. You can use that as the title and hand it in for me to review in ten days."

Not really.

She's pregnant! Pregnant!

Wen Wan's heart roared.

This father admitted that he was enjoying life, not suffering!
Isn’t it too early to teach this baby?

Wen Wan had no choice but to agree reluctantly, "Godfather, I...I will try my best...I will try my best."

After the recognition ceremony, the three of them left the Wen family in a carriage.

The Wen family father and daughter escorted the three to the main gate. After Madam Yao boarded the carriage, she waited until the Wen residence became blurry before reluctantly lowering the curtains. "Fortunately... Wan Niang seems to be in good spirits today, and she looks a little plumper than before. Although her husband died young, she still has to live her life. I think she's doing well now."

"Luckily, she didn't become completely devastated by this." Yao Shizhen also sighed. "Letting her write articles and practice calligraphy every day is also a way to prevent her from dwelling on the past."

Only then did Cheng Yunzhang realize that the teacher forced Wen Wan to write an article... and there was another purpose behind it.

He sighed: "The teacher really has good intentions."

However, if Junior Sister Fox knew that she had left her father behind and that her teacher was showing her affection in this way, wouldn't she feel like she had shot herself in the foot?
After sending Cheng Yunzhang to the Cheng family's villa, the driver then went to the Yao family.

Although Yao Shizhen had decided to live and eat with this student who was about to graduate, and wanted to move into the city to take care of Wen Wan, he had not yet found a suitable house in the city, so he had to return to the thatched cottage in the countryside.

Cheng Yunzhang returned to the villa. It was getting dark. The door was deserted, with only a yellow oil-paper lantern hanging high in the air.

Accountant Zhou was packing his bags. When he saw Cheng Yunzhang, he immediately came over. Cheng Yunzhang saw him carrying so many bags that he raised his eyebrows. "Accountant Zhou...are you leaving?"

Accountant Zhou cupped his hands nervously, "Yes, Sixth Master's funeral has been completed, and Fifth Master is desperately short of manpower, so he urged me to return quickly. So, I was just about to come and pay my respects to the young master and say goodbye."

Cheng Yunzhang didn't think much about it. Yuan Liulang died in Ping County. Looking at the current situation, the third branch of the Yuan family had probably given up fighting with the Wen family winery, so Accountant Zhou would naturally have to go back.

As soon as Accountant Zhou left, this three-courtyard house became empty.

You can invite teachers to live here.

"After I leave, you will be left with two servants, a page boy, and a maid. Sir, is there anything else you need to arrange?"

"No need. Take a servant with you. I don't need so many people to serve me."

"So, is the money in your hand still safe?"

This is a very practical question.

Cheng Yunzhang pinched his empty purse, a suspicious blush appeared on his fair cheeks, and his voice was also a little unnatural, "Accountant Zhou, can you give me some money for emergency first--"

The money of the third house cannot be mixed with that of Duke Zhong.

"I'll write you a note. Go to my mother and ask her to give you a hundred taels."

"Oh!" Accountant Zhou was quite happy that Cheng Yunzhang spoke. This young man was a gentleman of elegant appearance, and he had a method in what he said and did. He seldom spoke to him on weekdays. If he wanted to catch the eye of Fourth Master Cheng... it would not be easy!

"I've noticed that the people at Qianjin Casino have quieted down quite a bit these past two days. Have they paid off their debts?"

Accountant Zhou immediately replied, "As soon as Sixth Master's funeral was over, Third Master tried every possible way to raise money. After all, the dead are the greatest. Sixth Master is gone, so it wouldn't be good to leave him with the reputation of borrowing money and not paying it back."

Knowing that the man before him was an immortal who was unconcerned with worldly affairs, Accountant Zhou simply said, "Anyway, each household has chipped in to pay off Sixth Master's gambling debts. Now that the matter is settled, I must leave as well."

Among these, the elder lady paid the most.

Someone from the third house died, and the elder lady was both heartbroken and angry.

It's sad that Genrokuro was assassinated at such a young age.

He was also angry that Yuan Liulang acted recklessly in Ping County, provoked people from the gambling house, and affected Mr. Cheng Si's studies.

As they were talking, they saw the girl next to Wen Wan...who seemed to be called Hongmei, peeking at the main entrance. Cheng Yunzhang approached with a lantern and saw that the girl was holding a food box in her hand.

"Master Cheng!" Hongmei approached with a smile, handing him the lunch box. "Just now, our young lady said that you gave her a big gift, but she forgot to return the favor, so she asked me to buy some snacks from the West Street dessert shop for you to try."

Cheng Yunzhang raised his eyebrows.

Fox Junior Sister is being attentive to you for no reason. She must be a traitor or a thief.

Hongmei raised her head with a smile again, "This cake should be eaten while it's hot. If you need a return gift, I'll be waiting for you here."

Want a return gift?

What did Junior Sister Fox give him?
Some readers are wondering when Lao Zhao will appear; I can only say very soon.

When he reappears, Old Zhao will not be a well-behaved and delicate lady, but rather the domineering CEO Niohuru Wei!
Cut to the larger size!
