Chapter 235 Everyone's Useful
Chapter 235 Everyone's Useful
That time, the master and mistress were so happy that they were practically beside themselves when they found out that their young lady was willing to go out!
Afterwards, they went to Baiweizhai, and the young lady went with them. The master and mistress were so happy that they rewarded her with silver.
She's been going out more and more often lately, and her parents are really hoping she can get some fresh air and see if her temperament can change a bit. Otherwise, it's heartbreaking to see her like this.
Before Wen Luozhi could respond, Wen Zi'an spoke first, "If Miss Jiang can come tomorrow, I'll take you to the shop near the academy!" he said happily.
Miss Jiang is not pretentious at all, unlike the rich family daughters that the aunts and uncles talk about.
She doesn't cause much trouble, and she even praises his competence! He's happy to take her around, and it's very comfortable to be with her.
The brother and sister saw Jiang Shuqian off as she got into the carriage. Even after she left, Wen Zi'an was still standing there.
Wen Luozhi patted his shoulder, "Let's go, Fourth Brother! Let's go find Sixth Brother for dinner!"
"If Miss Jiang comes again tomorrow, could you take her around to see the place? Eating is the priority now."
"Yes!" Wen Zian nodded emphatically and strode towards the path leading to the small courtyard.
Wen Zixun was just thinking about having something to eat for lunch when he saw the two of them carrying things and quickly ran over.
"Little sister, you're here again!" He naturally took the basket from Wen Luozhi's hand, ignoring Wen Zian standing next to him.
Wen Zi'an didn't mind and fiddled with the bowls and chopsticks while the two of them were talking.
The brothers in their family have always been like this since they were little; they all fought over who would hold their sister the day she was born.
After that, except for meals, they spent almost all their time fighting over her, fighting to sleep with her, to do her laundry, and to play with her.
Only the fifth brother was a little more restrained; perhaps scholars are all thin-skinned?
However, whenever his other brothers fought over their sister, he would just stand by and watch helplessly.
Hehe, he wants to join but he's too shy.
From childhood to adulthood, my younger sister still gets along best with Xiao Liu. Even when she developed a bad temper during the two years she liked Lin Huaizhi, Xiao Liu still always indulged her.
Although they were also like that, they still felt uncomfortable because their younger sister, whom they had taken care of since childhood, would scold them because of an outsider.
But Xiao Liu is different; he thinks that as long as his sister is happy, that's all that matters.
Therefore, he wasn't jealous at all, even though he was closest to the two of them; he liked both Xiao Liu and his sister.
"Come and eat, you two," he said with a smile as he set out the food.
The brother and sister ran over, and Wen Zixun plopped down and started eating heartily. "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Brother and Sister. You're busy over there and still brought me food."
Wen Zi'an felt a little sorry for his younger brother, so he put a piece of meat on his plate and said, "Little Six, how about you go to the restaurant tomorrow and I'll come here?"
Most of the day has passed and he hasn't done much. Even if Miss Jiang hadn't come today, he would have just been greeting the guests at the restaurant.
The kid's voice is a little hoarse from training those people here.
"No, Fourth Brother, these people learn quite quickly. They should be able to learn in another three to five days."
Wen Zixun took a sip of the juice that Wen Luozhi handed him; it was so sweet that he squinted his eyes.
He will definitely do a good job of what his sister asked him to do, how could he possibly entrust it to someone else?
Wen Luozhi kept piling food onto his plate, and didn't forget Wen Zi'an, saying, "Sigh, the brothers are all working so hard."
“Unlike me, I just eat and drink all day and do nothing else,” she said, dramatically smoothing her hair.
Wen Zixun was amused by her words and said in a simple-minded way, "My sister has it so hard, she has to do everything all day long."
"If only Sixth Brother were more useful."
Wen Luozhi hated hearing such things at home, so she quickly waved her hand, "Everyone is useful, but I'm the most useful. Sixth Brother, please don't say that again."
Wen Zixun nodded vigorously. He had forgotten that his sister had warned everyone not to say such things before, and he had almost angered someone.
With her eyes darting around, Wen Luozhi changed the subject, "Let me tell you something funny."
The two brothers turned to look at her, and she cleared her throat and began to explain her tea-tasting techniques.
……
After half an incense stick's time, Wen Luozhi finally stopped. "In short, what I just said was just tea talk."
"You'd better stay away from people who say things like that in the future. That kind of person is called a 'green tea girl'!"
“Especially you! Fourth Brother!” Her sharp gaze swept over Wen Zi’an.
She was already brewing a plan in her mind, and it wouldn't be good if it were disrupted by cats and dogs.
Although nothing is even remotely planned yet...
Wen Zi'an nodded as if he understood, but Wen Zixun replied loudly, "I understand, sister! Anyway, anyone who's sarcastic or unsettling isn't a good person!"
Wen Luozhi didn't know whether to nod or shake her head, but in the end she gave a thumbs up in praise.
There's nothing I can do about it; she also loves being sarcastic and unpredictable.
Before leaving, Wen Luozhi took out a megaphone and gave it to him, saying, "Sixth Brother, use this when you need to speak loudly, otherwise your throat won't be able to handle it. And this too."
She pretended to rummage in her sleeve, then took out a small box and stuffed it into Wen Zixun's hand.
"What's this, little sister?" Wen Zixun opened it, and inside were things that weren't exactly round.
If you smell it closely, you'll also find a very refreshing scent.
Wen Luozhi took a throat lozenge out of the box and handed it to his mouth. Wen Zixun opened his mouth and ate it, and his throat felt relieved immediately.
"Of course it's good stuff! Sixth Brother, I'm leaving now. I'll come pick you up tonight."
Wen Zixun smiled foolishly, thinking how wonderful it was to have a younger sister! His sister was even coming to pick him up and take him home.
On their way back to the restaurant with Wen Zi'an, the brother and sister were discussing what dishes to prepare for the next day when they heard shouts of fighting and killing coming from behind them.
"Grab her! Grab her! Don't let her get away!"
Wen Luozhi recognized the voice. Turning around, she saw Wu San running ahead with a stick in his hand, followed by several other men carrying weapons.
She was wondering what had happened when someone bumped into her, making her spin around and almost hit an egg stall on the roadside.
"Little sister, are you alright?!" Wen Zi'an had only been away for a short while when Wen Luozhi was bumped into.
He helped Wen Luozhi up, and Wu San'er also came to them with his men. "Oh, it's Boss Wen! I'm so sorry!"
Wu San'er looked apologetic, then turned to his henchmen behind him and said fiercely, "Go after them! Make sure you bring them back to me!"
"Mr. Wen, I'm so sorry about today! How about I take you to Jun'an Hall to see if you're hurt anywhere?"
He was extremely respectful to Wen Luozhi, and the young girl was never troublesome, so he readily agreed whenever she came to him for someone.
Wen Luozhi shook her head. "I'm fine, Mr. Wu. I was worried you wouldn't be able to catch them after I interrupted you like this."
Speaking of Wu San'er, he kept sighing, so Wen Luozhi couldn't help but ask him a question.
Wu San'er led the brother and sister to a stall and sat them down, telling them what had happened that morning.
It turns out that the woman who was just being chased was the one who had been sold several times but returned because she was too fierce, and the owner even had to pay her extra money.
He finally found a buyer this morning, but the man lived far away and didn't seem like a good guy.
He had already sent the man away after agreeing on the price, but less than half a day later, the man came to the brokerage.
