When they arrived at Wen Guanbin's study, the three of them sat quietly and waited.
More than half an hour later, Wen Dahai hurried back.
"Master, the Wan family won't let the villain in. They just said that if the uncle doesn't come out years ago, then the Wen family will prepare for a divorce."
"How presumptuous! The Wan family doesn't take the Wen family seriously!" Wen Guanbin was so angry that his beard trembled.
Wen Dahai still had something to say, and when he was hesitating whether to say it or not, Wen Guanbin looked over and said, "What else Wan Jia said, just say it!"
Wen Dahai could only hold up his hands and continue: "The Wan family also said that the money owed to the Wan family should be returned as soon as possible, otherwise the Wen family will wait to be sued."
"How dare they bully our Wen family like this!" Wen Guanbin clenched his fists and his face was extremely distorted.
Wen Shuquan listened calmly and was not moved at all.
His own father didn't say anything, and Wen Qingzhu wouldn't say he spoke on purpose.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Guanbin looked at Uncle Wen and his daughter coldly: "What do you want to say?"
"Everything is subject to father's arrangements." Uncle Wen cupped his hands and didn't answer at all.
When Wen Guanbin saw this unfilial son, he became even more angry, and his face turned red and green, and green and fine again.
After staring at Wen Shuquan for a long time, Wen Guanbin finally got angry: "The third child!"
"Yes, father." Wen Shuquan still looked indifferent.
Wen Guanbin was finally irritated. He picked up the tea cup from the table and threw it at Wen Shuquan. At the same time, he yelled: "You traitor!"
Uncle Wen was already prepared and raised his wide sleeves to block the attack.
The tea cup turned at an angle and rolled to the ground, soaking the tea leaves and tea water.
In front of Wen Guanbin, Uncle Wen frowned, shook his sleeves, and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, just tell me what you have to do, why bother to do anything?"
"You—" Wen Guanbin looked at Uncle Wen looking like a stranger and wanted to pick up a chair and beat him to death.
But reason still calmed him down.
After a long while, Wen Guanbin said bitterly: "Isn't my father enough for you? What else do you want? Could it be possible to really watch your eldest brother spend the New Year in prison!"
Uncle Wen raised his eyelids and said calmly: "If the elder brother had not been corrupted or bribed, he would be able to come out with his father this time. Don't forget that you can come out only because of the help of your child."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu, who lowered his head, couldn't help but sneer.
This father and son are so funny! As expected, they are all equally despicable and shameless!
"Isn't this what you should do!" Wen Guanbin could not wait to push this son back into Mrs. Liu's belly. How could he have such a son!
"Really?!" Uncle Wen sneered, "Don't forget, you promised me something."
"You—" Wen Guanbin subconsciously wanted to pick up the tea cup again.
But after getting the tea cup, he realized that his third child was not obedient at all.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel frustrated.
He obviously devoted all his efforts to this family, but why did he end up like this
At this moment, Wen Guanbin was very tired.
Uncle Wen looked at Wen Guanbin's expression without being moved at all. He only reminded him: "Father, if you have nothing to do, I will take Zhu'er away first."
Wen Guanbin did not reply, but looked at the ground in front of his feet in confusion.
After waiting for a while, Wen Shuquan stood up, and Wen Qingzhu followed suit very intelligently.
Wen Guanbin finally gave up using his father's identity to suppress his third son.
"stop."
Uncle Wen turned his head and looked at him steadily: "Father, my son is very busy. If you have anything, please tell me as soon as possible."
Wen Guanbin turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Xiao Qi, you should have two hundred thousand taels of silver there, right?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and replied calmly: "Grandpa, Xiao Qi said before that we don't have much cash in cash. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings add up to about 50,000 taels, and we still need to find a buyer."
Wen Guanbin looked at her without saying a word, with those words always in his mind.
That mine is the iron mine in Kangcheng. The annual turnover is tens of thousands of taels, and a mere two hundred thousand taels is nothing to worry about.
"Really not?" Wen Guanbin still questioned her.
Wen Qingzhu sighed helplessly: "Then Grandpa doesn't believe it and sends someone to Yanyuan's warehouse to check it in person?"
"Father, as a father-in-law, do you really want to give up the idea of a dowry for your deceased daughter-in-law?" Wen Shuquan's tone was a little bad.
"Forget it." Wen Guanbin waved his hand and said in a consultative tone, "Let's do this. You, the third house, will take out one hundred thousand taels. The Wen family supports your Yanyuan and allocates more than one thousand taels of silver every year.
After all, it has been almost twenty years. I will not break down the things that are distributed during the holidays, but only 40,000 taels of silver. You can find a way to scrape together the other 60,000 taels, which is lent to you by the Wen family. Isn't this too much? "
Wen Shuquan's face was full of ridicule, and he just said lightly: "How about this? Counting the total amount of money spent from the day my father left me, and how much I have earned for the Wen family over the years. My father also took the opportunity to calculate the money together, and it would be best to settle it with each other."
"You—" Wen Guanbin's face turned completely dark, and he grabbed the handles of the chair with both hands, veins popping out on the backs of his hands.
He couldn't bear it anymore!
At this moment, a maid came in.
"Sir, there's something we can't deal with at Guanshi Hai's side. Can you please go over there?"
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways, wasn't this the maid next to the real aunt
It was this maid who stopped her at the gate of Yanyuan last time.
And at that time, she said that it was the real aunt who gave her the last chance.
Wen Guanbin calmed down his emotions, raised his hands and said: "You guys go down, I will inform you about this later."
Wen Shuquan immediately turned around and left with Wen Qingzhu.
When passing by the maid, Wen Qingzhu smelled the scent of arousal and love powder.
strangeness!
Wen Shuquan took Wen Qingzhu to his study.
After the screen left, Uncle Wen stared at her and asked, "What do you think of this?"
Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "It's okay to borrow money, but you have to pay an IOU. What belongs to my father is my father's, and what my mother left to me is mine."
"Just now did your grandfather suspect that there was additional silver?" Uncle Wen looked at her and began to wonder, is Lu's dowry only the stuff in the warehouse
"Suspicion is suspicion, but whether I have it or not is another matter." Wen Qingzhu did not directly answer Wen Shuquan's words.
"Then can you get one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Wen Shuquan asked her tentatively.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Maybe, maybe not. If those antique calligraphy and paintings meet someone who appreciates them, it can be any amount, not just a hundred thousand taels!"
…
That night, I bowed my head and summoned everyone, including the second room and the rest, to go to Fushou Hall for dinner.
This is the first time that the entire Wen family, except for the big family, is here.
This time, Mrs. Liu did not show any dissatisfaction with Aunt Ding.
She sat next to Wen Guanbin, supported by Song Yan and Fei Yan, looking at the empty bowl in front of her with a depressed expression.
Wen Guanbin glanced at everyone, looked at the space left for the big room, and finally made a decision in his heart.
"Second, third, fourth."
"Father." The three sons of the Wen family responded at the same time.
Wen Guanbin spoke again: "The Wen family cannot be separated. Now that something has happened to Bo Gui, the Wen family must work together to save him!"
No one answered this time. Two hundred thousand taels is not a small amount.
The only people with money present were from Sifang's side.
Wen Guanbin didn't want to talk nonsense and said directly: "I have made a decision. The second bedroom will get 20,000 taels of silver, the third and fourth bedrooms will each get 60,000 taels, and the remaining 60,000 taels will come from the public account of the Wen family. Walk."
"That's not why we want to pay 120,000 taels!" Yang immediately screamed.
Wen Guanbin looked over coldly, Yang suppressed his anger and lowered his head, and kicked Wen Jihua next to him unwillingly.
Wen Jihua was furious and wanted to refute.
But in front of so many people, Wen Jihua didn't know what to say.
One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver!
Most of the Wen family's property is going to be folded in. Why!
When Wen Bogui was arrested, it was obvious that he was seeking his own death.
All the glory of the Wen family was given to him, but he made a mistake, but he asked everyone to take responsibility for him!
The Wen family only gave him some money!
Now for Wen Bogui, I still have to give out most of it!
He, Wen Bogui, only had the title of the eldest son!
Reading is not as good as the third brother! Not as good as him!
Why should everyone in the Wen family have to pay for him!
Wen Jihua couldn't help it anymore. He raised his head and looked at Wen Guanbin: "This time, the eldest brother committed the crime himself. The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. The eldest brother will be sentenced to three years in prison at most. After spending some money to clear things up, maybe it will be solved." It will come out in one year. In this way, it can also help big brother to remember it for a long time. Isn't that good?"
"Fourth!" Wen Guanbin never thought that his most beloved son would dare to disobey him in front of him!
Wen Jihua was not moved at all and continued: "If you don't believe me, father, ask the second and third brothers, isn't this better for the eldest brother?"
He turned to look at Wen Zhongcong and Wen Shuquan.
Uncle Wen was completely silent.
Wen Jihua was very disappointed.
But suddenly, Uncle Wen raised his hand, and Wen Jihua's eyes were full of hope.
But Wen Shuquan just raised his hand to drink tea.
Wen Jihua was filled with disappointment. He knew that it was wrong to disobey his father in public, but if he didn't fight for it, he would be disappointed.
The last thing in his hand was taken away!
In the end, Wen Shuquan still didn't agree with him.
Wen Jihua didn't even bother to look at Wen Zhongcong, his second brother who was born a concubine.
Not to mention disobeying his father, he rarely even attends such occasions.
"Father, father, I, I, I, I think the fourth brother is right!"
Surprisingly, Wen Zhongcong actually spoke.
Although he was very nervous, he did not agree with Wen Guanbin's words.
"Second child!" Wen Guanbin's face was as dark as water, and his cold eyes lingered on the second child and the fourth child.
Wen Jihua was overjoyed and felt more confident: "Father! Look! The second brother basically has nothing in the Wen family, and I have nothing, and the second sister-in-law is even more modest -"
"Ahem!" Seeing that Wen Jihua was about to say something wrong, Yang quickly coughed to remind him.
Wen Jihua hurriedly changed his mind: "Second sister-in-law has almost no dowry and lives entirely on the Wen family's regular money. How do you ask them to come up with 20,000 taels?"
Wen Guanbin held his breath in his heart. Of course he knew that the second room could come up with it.
Thinking of this, he glared at Aunt Ding.
Aunt Ding felt her eyelids twitching so much that she could only speak slowly: "Zhong Cong, you must not disobey your father's words!"
Wen Zhongcong rarely had the courage and said stubbornly: "Auntie! My father didn't give us anything! Instead, he asked us to come up with 20,000 taels of silver. This means that we have sold everyone in the second house and can't get it out. Silver!"
Aunt Ding glanced out of the corner of her eye: "Do you have the final say whether you can take it or not?"
Feeling Aunt Daoding's tone, Wen Zhongcong felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his heart.
The innate fear still made him lower his head and dare not say anything more.
But Wen Qingxin heard something strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Ding, what do you mean, can your second wife come up with it?"
"The elders are talking! It's the junior's turn to interrupt!" Wen Guanbin patted the table, waiting for Wen Qingxin.
At this moment, Ms. Liu suddenly raised her eyes and looked straight at Wen Guanbin: "Master, give the village in the west of Beijing suburbs to Aunt Ding that was sold at a low price."
"Nonsense!" Wen Guanbin was struck in his mind, and his voice suddenly became deeper.
