Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Chapter 169

Yunyao looked at Wenmingxuan intently. This is the nephew of the original owner. He will be seven years old in the next year. When Wang left with the money, she was not such a cruel mother. She wanted to take away her son, but now Master Wen and Wen Tianhua's funeral is not over yet, Wenmingxuan wants to keep a filial piety for his grandfather and father, and is unwilling to leave, Wang's guilt and anger actually leave his son alone.

"Mingxuan, why are you here?" Yun Yao got off the bed, and suddenly she felt weak and weak, almost fell to the ground, she sat down with the edge of the bed, and stabilized her still weak body.

Wen Wenxuan stepped forward, staring nervously at Yunyao with big eyes, and said, "I'll see if Auntie is better, it's almost dawn, breakfast is ready in the kitchen, after breakfast, We also have to keep vigil for grandfather and father."

Yun Yao nodded. Although she still felt uncomfortable, it didn't affect her walking. She needed to recover as soon as possible, and then deal with the funeral of Master Wen and Wen Tianhua. After the Wen family's affairs were settled, she could investigate 'Wen Huiniang's adultery with the groom', she will never let it go, it must be someone in the Pei family plotting her, since it is plotting her marriage, then there will be news of Pei Qian's marriage soon.

Yun Yao took Wen Wenxuan's hand and walked out of the house together. A cold air hit outside. Now it is approaching November. Her body has been so weak during this period of time. She felt extremely cold when she drank it on her neck. If this continues, how will she spend the snowy day of the twelfth lunar month?

Originally, the Wen family didn’t have many servants, only a dozen or so, and all the errands were clearly assigned. The housekeeper Wang Quan, who was in his forties, was rescued by Master Wen earlier, in order to repay Master Wen. Thanks to his life-saving grace, he became Master Wen's servant. If there is no accident, he will continue to work in the Wen family until he dies of old age.

In this three-entry mansion of the Wen family, there are only a dozen or so housewives and servants in total. His sister-in-law Wang has two maids, and Master Wen and Wen Tianhua have only two servants. The entourage that he went out with also died, and they are also the family members of other servants in the mansion. The original owner gave each of them 100 taels of silver, which was regarded as resettlement and comfort money, and let those servants who lost their sons or brothers go back to their own homes. The funeral has gone, so now there are only seven or eight servants in the Wen family.

When he came out of the room, he saw Wang Quan, the housekeeper, waiting outside. When he saw Yunyao and his aunt and nephew, Wang Quan's expression relaxed a little.

"Miss, young master." Wang Quan was really afraid that if his young lady couldn't handle it, there would be only the young master left in the Wen family. He was afraid that after the funeral of the master and the uncle, that woman of the Wang family would come to take the young master away. However, the house of the Wen family and the shop and Zhuangzi that the Wen family still had left might not be able to keep it.

Yun Yao nodded towards Wang Quan: "Uncle Wang, I'm fine. For my father and elder brother, I won't fall down so easily." 49 days is the right thing to do, but it is a pity that the Wen family does not have so much time and money to spend, and only needs to stop for seven days.

Wang Quan nodded, turned around and wiped away his tears secretly. He was also a homeless person and planned to stay in the Wen family for the rest of his life. It was a pity that the Wen family had suffered such a catastrophe, and this girl was left in the future. What should the nephews do?

There were two coffins in the mourning hall, and the whole mourning hall was hung with white cloth strips. Yun Yao stared at it intently, and couldn't help but shed tears again.She led Wenmingxuan to the mourning hall, then knelt down on the futon in the middle and kowtowed heavily.

Yunyao murmured silently in her heart: "Master Wen, Young Master Wen, Hui Niang, I'm afraid your father and son, brothers and sisters have already reunited in the underworld. Since I have taken Hui Niang's body, I will definitely be responsible to the end, and I will take care of you." Daming Xuan will also wash away the stigma attached to Hui Niang, no matter who framed Hui Niang, I will definitely make him pay a heavy price."

Beside Yunyao, Wen Wenxuan was also kowtowing, kowtowing, he was already crying bitterly.

Wang Quan turned his back again and secretly wiped away his tears. There were three other servants standing aside with heavy faces.

In the kitchen, Aunt Li, the cook, had already prepared breakfast, that is, simple steamed buns and porridge. Yun Yao was too weak, and when she smelled the aroma of porridge, she immediately sniffed.

Yunyao ate three bowls of porridge in one go before she felt that she had strength. There was no distinction between master and servant. Everyone ate breakfast together and continued to work.

"Mingxuan, you stay in the mourning hall, you have to be careful not to get sick, you don't want to be brave, you know?" Wenmingxuan is young and the weather is cold, so he is most vulnerable to wind and cold.

Wen Wenxuan nodded, and he knelt obediently in the mourning hall. Fortunately, the house of the Wen family faces south, and the northwest wind will not blow in from the entrance of the mourning hall. The strong wind is blocked by the house, and the mourning hall is not as cold as outside .

"Uncle Wang, how much money does our family have?" Since she wants to cheer up the Wen family, Yun Yao must understand the current situation of the Wen family. She is not afraid of losing money. Wen's embarrassing situation can be solved by going there.

Wang Quan frowned, and explained all the current property of the Wen family.

"The 500 taels taken away by the young lady were originally the rest of the silver from the two shops sold by Wen's family and Zhuangzi. The shop sold 800 taels before, and the two Zhuangzi sold one for 300 taels and the other for 500 taels. The family members of the subordinates who died together with the uncle paid 100 taels each, and it cost 600 taels, and they also spent more than 200 taels for supervising the funeral of the master and the uncle, and now there are about 100 taels left.” At that time, he happened to ask for When I settled the bill with an outside merchant, I brought 200 taels of silver with me. After the checkout, there were only more than 100 taels left. I spent some more in the past few days, and the total was only 100 taels of silver.

Wang Quan frowned, and continued: "We still have a shop and a Zhuangzi, only these two have not been sold." Now the Wen family only has this little property. The valuation of his property is also 1 taels. When Master Wen and Wen Tianhua were alive, the business was attacked, and there were disputes, and almost a life lawsuit. Sell ​​it at a price lower than [-]% of the market price to compensate the person, otherwise Wen Tianhua will be imprisoned.

Yun Yao heard this in her heart, and began to think, "Uncle Wang, where is this shop located? With this shop, our Wen family will make a comeback one day."

Wang Quan sighed: "Miss, it's the restaurant on Linhua Road. Someone has been coming to lower the price, and clamoring that we don't sell it now, and we will beg them to buy it in the future."

Yun Yao sneered: "Don't worry about him, Uncle Wang. Even if the restaurant is bad, I won't sell it. After the funerals of my father and elder brother are over, I have to find out who is against our Wen family." Sure, it all started with her being framed.

Wang Quan was relieved when he heard the words, but he still couldn't show his face. When the master was alive, he checked many times, but he couldn't find out who was against the Wen family. Look, chase them away when you see them.

The sky was bright, Yunyao and Wenmingxuan knelt in the mourning hall to keep watch. Today, no one came to pay homage to Master Wen and Wen Tianhua, so the neighbors came to have a look.

The kind-hearted neighbor on the left, Aunt Wang, helped a lot. Her family lived here for decades, and she watched Wen Huiniang grow up. Outsiders who know Wen Huiniang naturally don't believe in Wen Huiniang's character.

When it was almost dusk, Aunt Wang came in with a troubled face. It was getting dark early in winter, and it was already dark outside. Oil lamps were lit in the corner of the mourning hall. Yun Yao, Wang Quan and other servants were in the next room Rice, fried cabbage and vegetable soup.

Seeing Aunt Wang circling in her yard, Yun Yao immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and came out. A gust of cold wind blew past, messing up the hair on Yun Yao's face.

Throughout the day today, Yunyao also picked up her own martial arts, but her inner strength is not achieved in a day, she only feels a little warmth in her body, and her inner strength has not been cultivated after all.

"Aunt Wang, have you had dinner? If you haven't eaten, why don't you just eat it with your niece?" Yun Yao is now wearing a filial piety dress, with a white gauze wrapped around her head, and her complexion is better than yesterday.

Aunt Wang clasped her hands together, sighed deeply, and said, "Huiniang, Aunt Wang has always believed that you are a good girl, but it's a pity that the Pei family made such a beast in order to become a noble girl. things come."

After hearing the news, Aunt Wang deduced that, in order to get rid of Wen Huiniang in an upright manner, the Pei family resorted to clumsy means and ruined Huiniang's reputation so that Pei Qian, who passed the exam, could marry Shanggui. female.

Yun Yao's expression froze, she lowered her eyes, and asked lightly: "Aunt Wang, what's the matter? Don't worry, I'm calm now, and I won't do anything stupid." It's just that she owed her, and she will definitely get it back.

Only then did Aunt Wang tell Yunyao the news she just heard with a sigh of relief, and it was only then that Yunyao knew what was going on.

Pei Qian has made another marriage. The woman is the prostitute of the Duke of Qi in the capital. She can be described as a real noble daughter. The old lady Pei doesn't announce it in advance, but Mrs. Zhao next to her has a big mouth. How can such a happy event not be publicized? Go out and make the world envious?Especially for the Wen family to be ashamed and angry. She is a merchant girl of the Wen family, and it is a great blessing to marry Xie Yuanlang. Wen family girls do not cherish it, but a good girl cherishes Pei Jialang.

Yun Yao lowered her head and thought for a long time. Whether it was Wen Huiniang's memory or the words of others, they all told her that Pei Qian was not a person who likes the new and dislikes the old, nor is he a follower of power. Why would he do such a thing?Did Pei Qian know about Wen Huiniang being framed?Regardless of whether he was the instigator or not, but Yunyao has concluded that Mrs. Pei must have known about it. Without her approval, how could those servants of the Pei family dare to be accomplices?

The author has something to say: Wen Huiniang is indeed the person mentioned in the article by the old lady before, but that is Wen Huiniang herself. Now is the most sad and helpless time for Wen Huiniang. Chaos Pearl made a deal with Wen Huiniang to help her Clean up her grievances and help her raise her nephew. She thought she couldn't raise her nephew and clear her name, so she agreed.

In fact, if Yunyao doesn't come, Wen Huiniang will survive. No matter how hard it is, as long as she survives, she can stand up for Wen's family and her nephew. Yao is different, she may not dare to fight against the rich and powerful now, but Yun Yao does, so Wen Huiniang's road to empress business is extremely difficult, and she was forced to come out when she was on the verge of desperation step by step.
