Wanjin Lady

Chapter 193 Big Gift Package

The first place she went to was Mr. Yao's house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw two lanterns hanging in front of the door. One was a lifelike fox lantern with pointed ears and round eyes, which was extremely cute; the other was a yellow silk lantern with four corners and magnolia and green bamboo painted on it.

The fox lantern was so cute that Wen Wan couldn't help but stop to admire it.

Old Madam Yao came over and saw the man tilting his head to look intently. She couldn't help but smile and said, "That's a gift Xiu Wen gave to his teacher. This old man and this young man, one dared to give, the other dared to receive."

Wen Wan smiled, "Fox lamp? Godfather really does look like an old fox."

Old Madam Yao pulled her up.

Today, Wen Wan wore a sky-blue, wide-sleeved dress with a light green, folded skirt. She looked thin and simple, but her belly was slightly visible. Old Madam Yao stared at her waist for a while, "Your belly... looks bigger than that of an average pregnant woman."

Wen Wan smiled and said, "It's only been three months, how can you tell?"

"Really?" Madam Yao frowned, then smiled. "I was bored, so I made some small clothes and bellybands. Remember to take them back later."

"Thank you, mother."

Madam Yao was worried. "I heard that your concubine was promoted to be your wife a while ago?"

"Well, we just had a wedding at home. But last year, there were so many things going on at home that it wasn't convenient to have a grand ceremony. We just closed the door and set up a few tables, and that was considered the ceremony. Besides, Aunt Liu... oh... Mother doesn't care about all the ostentation."

Seeing Wen Wan smiling and showing no sadness or resentment when she spoke, Mrs. Yao felt relieved.

It is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Wen Wan is pregnant now, and Wen Weiming chose to get married at this critical juncture. She has to keep an eye on Wen Wan.

There are so many ways to harm people in that mansion that it is impossible to guard against them.

As if seeing through Old Lady Yao's thoughts, Wen Wan smiled and shook her hand, "Don't worry, godmother. You know... my temper... no one can make me suffer."

Only then did Old Lady Yao smile.

"What are the mother and daughter whispering about?" The door was slightly open, and Yao Shizhen and Cheng Yunzhang walked out of the house one after another. Wen Wan smiled and bowed, then spread her hands: "Foster father, happy new year! Wish you good fortune, give me the red envelope!"

Yao Shizhen looked at her empty palms and reluctantly took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance from his waist bag and placed it in Wen Wan's hand. The old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Fortunately, you are my daughter after you get married. If you hadn't gotten married, would you still have to come to my house to ask for the dowry?"

Madam Yao pinched him, but smiled gently, "Of course, you are my father. It is only natural for a father to prepare a dowry for his daughter. It is also only natural for a daughter to provide for her father in his old age."

With just one sentence, Mr. Yao was caught as a black carp.

Let’s not worry about whether she can really provide for your retirement.

Just listen to these words, they sound good!

Wen Wan walked over again and stretched out her hand in front of Cheng Yunzhang, her eyes flickering. The sky was clear after the snow and the sun was shining brightly. Cheng Yunzhang could see her thick and long eyelashes.

The woman asked him with a smile, "Where is the gift from my brother?"

"Junior sister, please wait. I have carefully selected a great gift, and I think you will like it." Cheng Yunzhang turned and went into the house. When he came back, he had a copybook in his hand.

Wen Wan's face suddenly fell.

Are you okay? Instead of giving her a calligraphy copybook for the winter break, why not just give her three years of mock exams and five years of college entrance exams?

Cheng Yunzhang's calligraphy copybook fell heavily into her hands. There was a hint of mischief in his eyes, but his tone was earnest, "Junior sister, you should practice your calligraphy more."

“Even now, I still remember my junior sister’s bold words.” Cheng Yunzhang narrowed his eyes, smiling like a fox. He spoke each word carefully, his gaze lingering boldly on Wen Wan’s face.

"Junior sister wants to study because she wants to clear her mind, enlighten her wisdom, guide her health and ease her emotions, inspire her ambition, and relieve her worries and boredom."

"Books are like medicine. Reading them well can cure stupidity and improve intelligence. A fish out of water withers, and a mind without books loses its spirit. Reading can soothe the mind. Books contain golden houses and beautiful women. Reading can help you achieve fame, wealth and power."

“Reading cultivates wisdom and virtue. It allows one to feel insignificant even in the vastness of the universe, and to maintain one’s true heart amidst chaos and change.”

Wenwan's face cracked inch by inch.

Cheng Yunzhang suddenly felt that it was more interesting to take his junior sister for a walk than to study.

Look how angry the child is.

She chuckled, "Brother, your memory doesn't have to be that good. I'm just a woman, so don't take my words seriously. Just listen to them."

Madam Yao lowered her voice and laughed, then leaned close to Old Man Yao's ear and said, "The apprentice and the girl you accepted are both evil-minded."

If you add Wei Zheng together, they all look like black coal balls!

Madam Yao smiled and patted Wen Wan's hand, "Xiu Wen, don't bully your junior sister. Wen Wan, come here, someone has given you a generous gift."

Wen Wan's eyes lit up, and she casually put the calligraphy aside and followed Madam Yao.

Cheng Yunzhang raised his eyebrows.

He took the copybook in his hand decisively.

I will have to send it to my junior sister’s car later.

Old Madam Yao took her to the backyard, and sure enough, she saw that in a remote warehouse, the entire shelf was filled with items, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder, which filled two large boxes. The whole place exuded a sense of luxury!

Wen Wan frowned, "This is——"

"It's a gift from Jinyu." Seeing her bewilderment, Old Madam Yao explained with a smile, "Jinyu is Wei Zheng's pen name. You can just call him Senior Brother Jinyu."

Wei Zheng?

Wen Wan and Cheng Yunzhang could not hide their surprise.

I had heard that the teacher had accepted several outstanding students, but I never thought that Huai'an Hou Wei Zheng was one of them.

Wen Wan was puzzled. Why did Wei Zheng give her such an expensive gift for no reason?
Madam Yao secretly squeezed her hand and gave her a meaningful look, "Jin Yu heard that her husband had adopted a daughter, so she specially sent a gift from Bingzhou."

Old Madam Yao spoke vaguely, but Wen Wan knew it clearly in her heart!

This must be Wei Zheng’s reward for knowing about the last incident of rescuing Bingzhou from the food shortage crisis!

Since she was a woman of modesty and a widow, it was not appropriate for the court to publicly reward her. Wei Zheng, under the pretext of celebrating the teacher's adoption of a new adopted daughter, gave her the entire reward in cash!
At this moment, Wen Wan was so moved that she wanted to cry!
Finally someone understands her!
Huai'an Hou Wei Zheng...is a real man!
Look at the generous gifts he gave, all of which can be converted into cash and are easy to sell. They can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, which will immediately connect the broken capital chain of the Wen family!

How can this be considered a gift?
It was obvious that he came to give money to Wen Wan!

The white gold and silver are what Wen Wan needs most at the moment!

Wen Wan was so moved that she wanted to become sworn brothers with Wei Zheng. Cheng Yunzhang came over and saw tears in the young lady's eyes. He smiled and asked, "Why are you still crying? Is the gift from Senior Brother Jinyu so much to your liking?"
