Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 34

Wen Yanzhi was unwilling to resign, but Wen Zhaoling and Wen Yanqi were punished for persuading him. The family did not ease up until the family reunion dinner on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, Mrs. Tai was accustomed to scolding Wen Yanqi, so Wen Yanqi's meal The reunion dinner was really uncomfortable.

After eating, Mrs. Tai dragged Zhaoyuan over again, and Wen Yanqi went to Wen Zhaoling to seek comfort.Seeing him coming, Wen Zhaoling asked Yuzhi to prepare refreshments, and the two of them sat in the courtyard enjoying the moon and drinking tea, talking by the way.

Wen Yanqi took a sip of tea, and said to Wen Zhaoling: "Mr. Gu told you the last time he came back, right? I paid attention to the things you asked me to do. In fact, this time I planned to persuade your father to resign. Our whole family It’s good to go back to our hometown, after all, Suzhou is our hometown.”

Wen Zhaoling lowered his eyes and sighed: "I'm afraid it's the grandmother who won't make sense in the first place."

"You're right. I specially repaired the ancestral house some time ago. I just hoped that the old man could go back to live in her old age. Now that your father insists so much, it's really difficult. Sigh, I don't know what to say. Anyway, you Father also shoulders a lot of responsibilities, if he hadn't been born as the eldest son two years earlier than me, maybe he wouldn't have to shoulder so many responsibilities, let alone your mother..."

"My mother?" Wen Zhaoling was stunned for a moment, "What does it have to do with my mother?"

Wen Yanqi waved his hand, "It's all old things, you don't need to ask about the entanglements of the previous generation, but then again, what are your plans for the future?"

Wen Zhaoling thought for a while, "Now that my father is on the cusp of the storm, I think it's better not to reveal his whereabouts. Uncle Lao will take care of the business in Suzhou, so I won't ask for it for the time being."

Wen Yanqi nodded, "Alright, just ask Mr. Gu to help. By the way, I have something for you and your nephew and wife." Wen Yanqi took out a pair of jade pendants from his pocket and put them on the stone table. "Your aunt specially asked someone to order this. The jade is a good jade that I personally found. Anyway, it can be regarded as a little wish from my brother and your aunt. It has the right to be your wedding gift."

Wen Zhaoling took it over and took a look. There were two round jade pendants of the same size, with light purple tassels falling from them. hand, grow old together with the child".

"Thank you uncle and auntie. I thanked Yuzhi on behalf of Yuzhi. We will treasure it well." Wen Zhaoling smiled and put the jade pendant carefully into his arms.

Wen Yanqi forced a smile, "This is the expectation of your aunt and I for you and your husband and wife, but... well, Boyu, I always feel that something is going to happen."

Wen Zhaoling frowned, "Actually, I also feel the same way. My father's official position is in jeopardy, while Ji Li is now in full swing. The strangest thing is that the two of them have no signs of any relationship with each other."

"Ji Li?" Wen Yanqi thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "It's that... your... fourth brother you mentioned to me in your letter a while ago?"

Wen Zhaoling nodded, "That's right, now that he has met Yuan, with his knowledge and talent, as long as he is a little more tactful, there shouldn't be any major problems next year."

Wen Yanqi was silent for a while before saying: "Forget it, what do you think about these things now, the important thing is now, you take good care of your wife, and I will write to you after a while when everything is arranged."

"Of course I don't worry about uncle's work. If that's the case, I'll wait for his good news." Wen Zhaoling saluted him respectfully.

Wen Yanqi stood up with a smile, "Okay, go and accompany your wife, I'll go back and rest."

Wen Zhaoling smiled and sent him to the gate of the courtyard before returning to the house.

Wen Yanqi walked along the courtyard wall for a while, looked up and saw the figure in front of him, stopped, and smiled, "Is sister-in-law going to elder brother's place?"

Mrs. Wen held the ginseng soup in her own hands, and Fuqin, who was lighting a lantern for her, nodded at him, "Yes, your elder brother hasn't been sleeping well these days, so I'll bring him a cup of soup."

Wen Yanqi was a little funny, "Sister-in-law, you obviously don't know that elder brother doesn't like to drink these things."

Mrs. Wen also smiled, her usually cold face softened under the light of the lantern, "I know he doesn't like to drink, but after all, it's a good product to nourish the body, and there is no harm in drinking some."

Wen Yanqi shook his head with a smile, "Sister-in-law, since you said so, then hurry up and send it to elder brother. He is annoyed when he sees me now. I'd better avoid it for now." He didn't wait for an answer after finishing speaking , went straight past her.

Mrs. Wen told him that Wen Yan thought he was annoying for some reason, but she had already left, so it was not easy to ask, so she continued to walk forward with ginseng soup.

When we arrived at Wen Yanzhi's courtyard, the lights in the study were still on.Mrs. Wen asked Fuqin to wait outside, and walked in with the soup herself.Wen Yanzhi raised his head to take a look when he heard the movement, and when he saw the soup in her hand, he lowered his head silently.

"Husband's health is important, so let's put aside the matter at hand first, and talk about it after drinking the soup."

Wen Yanzhi said indifferently: "Just put it here."

Mrs. Wen didn't talk too much, and put the soup by his hand as he said, "In that case, I'll go first, my husband should rest early."

Mrs. Wen walked to the door, and Wen Yanzhi suddenly called her: "Madam..." He pursed his lips, "That day Boyu and my second brother both persuaded me to resign, what do you think?"

Mrs. Wen was taken aback, then turned to look at him, Wen Yanzhi met her astonished eyes, and smiled slightly, "I understand, Madam, go back and rest." After a pause, he added: "I can drink soup .”

Mrs. Wen seemed to want to say something, looked at the official document in his hand, thought about it and swallowed what she wanted to say, turned around and left the room.

When she arrived outside the courtyard, she walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, looked up at the moon in the sky, and didn't speak for a long time.Fuqin didn't dare to disturb her, but followed her silently.

I don't know how long I stood there, my body was covered with some dew, a person hurriedly ran over from a distance, saluted her, and said in a flustered tone: "Ma'am, my uncle suddenly fainted."

Mrs. Wen woke up suddenly, turned her head and saw Que Yaer who reported the letter, and panicked: "What? Take me there quickly."

Before she finished speaking, she lifted the corner of her skirt and hurried towards Bo Yuju, even Fuqin behind her couldn't keep up with her.After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped again, and said to Fu Qin: "Go and inform the master, let him come to Bo Yuju to have a look."

Fu Qin responded, handed the lantern to Que Ya'er, and turned to report.

When Mrs. Wen rushed to Boyu's residence, Wen Zhaoling had already woken up, and Yuzhi was watching over him by the bed. When she saw Mrs. Wen walking in, she immediately stood up, "Mother, Boyu is already awake."

Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the bedside to look at Wen Zhaoling's face. Although she was a little pale, it was not the worst time, "Boyu, what do you think?"

Wen Zhaoling smiled at her, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine, Yuzhi has already sent for Uncle Gu."

Mrs. Wen turned her head to look at Yuzhi, "That's good."

Yuzhi looked at her expression and breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that she would say that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities.

After a while, Wen Yanzhi hurried in, and arrived at Wen Zhaoling's bed in two or three steps. Seeing that he was awake, his tense face eased, "Why did you faint suddenly? Could it be because of the holidays these few days?" too busy?"

Mrs. Wen said to him: "Boyu should have rested in the first place. He has been with my uncle for the past few days. I'm afraid he is really tired."

Wen Yanzhi nodded, "It seems that it is only serious to find a quiet place to take care of your body."

Wen Yanqi stepped into the room and said with a smile: "I think Suzhou is a good place, why not let Boyu go with me to Suzhou."

Wen Yanzhi and his wife turned their heads and saw that Mr. Gu was still following Wen Yanqi, and they didn't care to answer his words, so they hurriedly called Mr. Gu to come and see Wen Zhaoling.

Mr. Gu was used to walking around in Wenfu, so he casually gave Wen Yanzhi a salute, then went straight to Wen Zhaoling to feel his pulse.Everyone stopped talking and watched his movements with bated breath.

After a while, Mr. Gu withdrew his hand, turned to Wen Yanzhi and said, "It seems that we still have to rest. The young master seems to be a little worried these days."

Wen Yanzhi frowned, looked at Madam Wen, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, we still need to rest." He sighed, and said to Wen Zhaoling: "Boyu, take a good rest, and wait until you are done with this work." , Dad will arrange it for you." After a pause, he said again: "Father's matter...you don't need to worry about it."

Although Mr. Gu did not say what Wen Zhaoling was worried about, Wen Yanzhi subconsciously thought it was about his official position.After saying this, he gave Wen Zhaoling a few more instructions before turning around and leaving the door with a lonely back.

There was a moment of silence in the room because of his departure. Mr. Gu stood up and said to Mrs. Wen: "Madam, don't worry, there is nothing serious. After a period of rest, you will be fine."

Wen Yanqi said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, go back and rest, Mr. Gu is here, everything will be fine."

Mrs. Wen was completely relieved, thanked Mr. Gu, and asked Yuzhi to take good care of Wen Zhaoling, and then took Fuqin back.

There were only four people left in the room, Yuzhi glanced at the three people in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "What are you planning to do?"

Wen Zhaoling sat up from the bed and winked at Wen Yanqi.Wen Yanqi understood, and pulled Mr. Gu, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is not yet fully enjoyed, how about having a drink with me, Mr. Gu?"

Mr. Gu smiled and nodded, "Very good, let's go."

After speaking, the two walked out together.

Yuzhi went over and closed the door, sat back on the bed and looked at Wen Zhaoling, "Did you do it on purpose just now? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to invite my mother-in-law over."

Wen Zhaoling held her hand, smiled apologetically, "Yes, I did it on purpose, I just paved the way for the future."

"What road to pave?"

"My father is still obsessed with obsession. I can only force him. He is in the mansion now. If my mother comes over, he will definitely come too. Seeing me like this, I will feel a little shaken in my heart. Fortunately, Uncle and Uncle Gu are with me. Cooperate well." Wen Zhaoling took out the jade pendant engraved with "Hold your hand, grow old with you" from his arms and handed it to her, "Yuzhi, I said I wanted to give you a simple life, I didn't just say it of."

Yuzhi took the jade pendant, and when she saw the words on it, she was slightly taken aback, "This is..."

"It's a gift from my uncle. You and I will have one each."

Yuzhi showed concern, "Boyu, are you really going to leave the Wen family behind as the young master? If that happens, will you regret it?"

Wen Zhaoling took her into his arms, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything, but... I feel a little guilty, my mother and grandmother, alas, if only my father can figure it out."

Yu Zhi was about to speak, when Que Ya'er's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, just now Fu Qin sent a message to ask you to get up early tomorrow, and to accompany Madam to entertain guests."

"Entering guests?" Yuzhi was puzzled, got up and walked to the door to open the door, "What kind of guests are you entertaining?"

Que Ya'er replied: "I heard that Madam's sister brought her daughter as a guest. Madam said that you are the eldest young mistress and will accompany her tomorrow."

Yuzhi nodded, "Okay, I see."

Returning to the bed, Wen Zhaoling said: "It turns out that my aunt and cousin Feng Wan are coming, so you should work hard to accompany them tomorrow, but don't wrong yourself, my aunt and cousin are not good-natured."

Yuzhi snorted and grabbed his arm, "Can they still bully me? Then I'll come to you for help."

"Okay, of course I want to help you." Wen Zhaoling smiled dotingly at her, stretched out his arms to hug her, and suddenly sighed: "Oh, I forgot something just now."

Yuzhi looked at him strangely, "Huh? What's the matter?"

"I should ask Mr. Gu to say that I am in good health and can have sex."

"..." Yuzhi blushed like a boiled shrimp, "Why have you been so dishonest?"

Wen Zhaoling sneered twice: "Let me count the days first, and see which day is an auspicious day, so let's round up the house."

Yuzhi turned her head in embarrassment, but the corners of her mouth raised, "You have a good idea."

Wen Zhaoling kissed her on the side of the cheek, "Yuzhi, I've already made up my mind."

Yuzhi turned her head in surprise, "You really forget it?"

Wen Zhaoling suppressed a smile and nodded, "Of course it's true, everything must be prepared."

Yuzhi turned her face away, and muttered softly: "Even this has to be prepared."

Wen Zhaoling sighed: "If you don't prepare, you can't do it. Now I have to pretend to be sick in front of my father, and I also have to take care of things in Suzhou. Every step I take has to be calculated. Of course, everything must be calculated."

Yuzhi pretended not to hear, and blushed playing with the jade pendant in her hand.

Wen Zhaoling looked at the jade pendant, and hugged her a little tighter, "Yu Zhi, why don't we make an agreement, if something happens in the future, we can use this jade pendant as evidence, no matter what, when you see this jade pendant, you will How about trusting me?"

Yuzhi chuckled, "You think too much."

Wen Zhaoling's eyes were black and deep, and he laughed again immediately, "I hope I think too much."
