The Wen family gave Wen Tingyuan a house with three entrances. The house seemed to have been recently renovated, with white walls and black tiles, and all kinds of colors. What was rare was that there was a small garden and a small pond with several koi carps.
Qiao Yuyan fell in love with this place at first sight. If we say it is exquisite and gorgeous, it is naturally not as good as the old Wen family's mansion, and far worse than the Qiao family's. But this place has a kind of tranquility that cannot be found in other places.
When Wen Tingyuan saw that she liked it, he put aside his worries and said, "In this case, let someone go back and pack up everything, and then call a few people to clean the main courtyard first."
Qiao Yuyan had already walked around and checked. The outermost entrance was naturally Wen Tingyuan's study. There was also a small courtyard where he could rest and sit down for his people to live in.
There are walkways in front of the inner and outer courtyards, so you can walk around even on rainy days.
The second entrance is to the main inner courtyard. There are five large rooms in the main house, and there are wing rooms on both sides that lead to the back room at the back. From the passage of the back room, there is a small garden.
The back room was used as a warehouse and a residence for several wives. The rooms in the east wing were occupied by Pinlan and the others. Half of the rooms in the west wing were used for storing important things, and the other half were left empty.
Seeing the happy smile on her face as she divided the room, Wen Zingyuan couldn't help but laugh too, "I looked so melancholy two days ago, but I'm actually happy today."
Qiao Yuyan held his arm and smiled with crooked eyes, "This will be our home from now on. I don't have to get up early to say hello anymore, so I won't be happy."
This is different from Tao Ranxuan's feeling. As Mrs. Wen said, from now on they can each make their own decisions, without having to consider what others think. Behind closed doors, they are in their own world.
Probably because this house really exceeded her expectations, Qiao Yuyan was much more enthusiastic about packing her things when she came back, but she had to say that she really had a lot of things. She didn't organize the dowry herself when she brought it in, but now she has to
It’s not easy to sort through all kinds of things.
Although when the old lady said she was going to separate the family, so many people expressed reluctance, but when the matter was actually implemented, everyone's thoughts could be seen clearly with the busy look everywhere.
The old lady was also very stubborn. No matter how much Wen Qiongyu begged, she made up her mind to move to the yard originally prepared for the second bedroom, and ordered Xin's mother and Pearl to lead a group of maids to pack things.
Wen's belongings were few and she packed them all in two days. She was already working on tidying up the small yard.
Seeing Wen Qiong and Ri Ri running to Yi'an Juli, he said, "Brother, you still don't know what kind of temper my mother is? In my opinion, if you are here to guard Ri Ri, you might as well go and help clean up that yard."
Clean it up and ask your mother to live more comfortably.
Moreover, the courtyard was originally built for the convenience of the two families. My mother said she wanted to live there with me, which means that she still cares about you, eldest brother, in her heart. Why are you so stubborn with her at this time? "
Wen Qiong had not been able to sleep well in the past few days, and his voice was hoarse. He looked at Wen for a while and then said: "Ayun, to be honest, I don't know how things turned out like this."
Wen took a look at the old lady's main room and could only sigh, "How things developed like this, I can't say, but brother, in my opinion, even if you are at fault, it is not the main responsibility.
The second brother and the second sister-in-law have been in the south these years, not to mention you, even the old lady is out of reach!"
As she spoke, she hesitated, but finally bit her lip and said, "There are some things I shouldn't have said. Even at this moment, I don't know what would happen if I really said them."
"In recent years, you haven't seen many people because of the fourth child's affairs, but in my heart, you are still Ayun. Since you call me big brother, I don't care whether you are a sister or a sister-in-law.
If you have anything you want to say, just say it. As for whether it is suitable, I have weighed it in my heart. If it is really not suitable, I will just pretend that I didn't hear it."
Wen Shi smiled when he heard this, "Eldest brother is still the same as before. He is always willing to take care of anything. But the thing I am talking about today is about your eldest brother."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Wen Shi sighed, with a hint of sadness on her brows, "In recent years, no matter whether it is inside or outside the house, it has been difficult for me to show up in public, but I am not a dead person. Sometimes, I don't get involved.
And among them, you can see things clearly.
To be honest, my mother is more than strong but not meticulous enough. She naturally tries her best to teach her sons. Her brothers... except for the third brother, are all pretty good.
But this vision of choosing a wife is really not good, so I won’t say it anymore. If my mother hadn’t strongly advocated it at that time..."
"Ayun!" Wen Qiongyu interrupted her with a frown, "Although I don't understand the details of what happened between you and your fourth brother, but as a girl, even if you make a mistake, it is not a big mistake.
My fourth brother has passed away now, but what he did back then was never safe, so don’t take the blame on yourself."
Wen was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about me, let's talk about other people. The second sister-in-law is not an afterthought of mine. She has been like this since she entered the house, as if she has a good relationship with everyone.
He is cheerful all day long, but the more he is like this, the harder it is to see his inner sincerity.
At that time, my mother did not want to get to know the Wei family in detail in order to make a living. In fact, her hatred was already evident in her parents' family's treatment of several of her concubines.
Where's the third sister-in-law? She's not that bad, but her eyesight is really too shallow. Even the nuns in the house say that she can't see any money or face in her eyes.
The fifth sister-in-law is a good person, but the fifth brother has been bored all day long and has found a nerd. The entire fifth room has been silent all day long, and it seems that people have forgotten the existence of their room."
Wen Qiongyu listened quietly. Although he was talking about his mother's fault, in his heart, Wen just took the name of his sister-in-law, but in fact she was still the woman who matched his brother and sister.
When they stood together and talked about Mrs. Wen's faults, it became less sneaky and became more of a private conversation between brother and sister.
What he knew even more clearly was that Wen had mentioned Wei, Zhou and Lin first, but in fact what he really wanted to say was his wife.
Sure enough, Wen raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, "Brother, the lessons learned from the second room are already here, what about you? Are you feeling wary?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Wen sighed again, "Since we have already said this, I might as well say a few more words."
