Liu Wenxuan thought of Yuan Qiu's cold eyes when he looked at him, and his heart trembled slightly: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't try, how will you know if she still has you in her heart?"
Liu Wenxuan actually wanted to say that he had already tried it, several times, with terrible results, but he was too embarrassed to say it. Even when he was itchy last time, he just said he was bitten by a poisonous insect.
Seeing that Liu Wenxuan didn't speak, Fourth Aunt Liu said again: "Don't hold on to it. Today's Yuan Qiu is different from the past. She is like a phoenix flying out of the chicken coop. Think about it, if you go to Beijing to take the exam in the future, then They all need money and connections. What can a family like ours have? Yuan Qiu now not only has the connections in Chen Zhixian County, but also has become a rich man. If you reconcile with her, you won’t have to go to Beijing to take the exam in the future. Worry about travel expenses, if you really don’t like her, in the future when you are in high school, are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a better wife?”
Is there anything Liu Wenxuan doesn't understand? It's easy to say, but very difficult to realize.
"But now she won't go back to Xipo Village. Even if I want to see her, it's very difficult. How can I talk about reconciliation?" Liu Wenxuan looked at my mother.
Fourth Aunt Liu frowned and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. Go and find out how much money it costs to have a meal at the Medicinal Food House."
Liu Wenxuan smiled and said, "No need to ask. I heard from my classmates that a meal at the Medicinal Food Restaurant will cost at least fifty taels of silver."
The small bamboo basket in Aunt Liu's hand fell to the ground with a bang. Her eyes widened in shock and she said, "What? Fifty taels of silver? What are these things eating?"
He expected the mother's surprise. What could an ignorant country woman know? People who go to the Medicinal Food Restaurant to eat are either rich or noble. When they eat, they are not only about eating, but also about pomp and circumstance.
Of course, he didn't tell the truth completely. A meal of fifty taels is a mid-range consumption. If you invite two or three friends, have a drink, and finish the meal, it will cost about fifty taels.
If he eats alone, only orders one dish, and doesn't drink wine, the price will be only ten taels at most.
Obviously, he didn't intend to tell the truth to my mother.
"Mom, since you think it's expensive, then you can give me fifteen taels of silver and I'll collect the rest. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not, so don't expect too much." The main reason is that he doesn't have confidence anymore.
Aunt Liu has always regarded her son as her lifelong pride. In her eyes, there is nothing that her son cannot accomplish.
"Okay, I'll give you fifteen taels. This is the money in the box that my mother has saved all her life. It was originally intended to be used for your wedding. It doesn't matter, I will give it to you first. After you and Yuan Qiu are reconciled, don't If it's fifteen taels, even if it's one hundred and fifty taels, she will give it to me as a filial piety." Having said that, Yuan Qiu was very kind to their family back then. She could pick whatever vegetables she wanted in the garden, and the money she earned from selling them was also good. She would tell Wenxuan the same thing, and Wenzhen would take it out on her sometimes, but she never said anything back. Apart from her ugly appearance, she really couldn't find anything bad to say about him.
Nowadays, Yuan Qiu's appearance has changed greatly. Not only is she not ugly, she is also good-looking. She is as refined as the fairy who descended from the earth. She can also make money and make a lot of money. She can only dream of such a daughter-in-law now, just like her. Like the God of Wealth.
Liu Wenxuan's plan succeeded. He took the fifteen taels of silver given to him by his mother and went into the city. He did not invite any friends. He entered the medicinal food restaurant by himself and ordered the cheapest dish on the menu, which was priced at five taels of silver a portion. , ordered another pot of scented tea, one tael of silver, plus a reward for the waiter, and asked the waiter for information, and only spent a total of seven taels of silver.
