Chapter 59: Wen Jia

Yao Zhuosu was fine, Xi Fuwei frowned upon hearing this, and quickly looked around!
It's just that the second floor is clear at a glance, there is nowhere to hide.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, people were about to come up soon. Xi Fuwei thought about turning around, pulling Yao Zhuosu, and stuffing her with a few pieces of silver, and whispered: "Sister, I can't keep up with the pedestrian Please face me, please help bring the things back, Lusha will follow you first!"
Before Yao Zhuosu could respond and ask, she dashed to the window and opened the window to look at it. It was cold now, and it was near the end of the year, and there were no people in the narrow alley under the back of the street.
Xi Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief, turned over neatly, and jumped straight down!
This scene shocked the three Yao Zhuosu and the woman who was watching the store, and couldn't help but exclaim in exclamation!
Fortunately, the woman was in business, and there were a lot of people coming and going, although she didn't know why, she immediately ran over to close the window, and gave Yao Zhuosu three silent gestures!
Xi Fuwei, who had landed, was about to turn around and tell her, she felt relieved seeing this situation. This small building was originally not very high. When she jumped down, she borrowed some strength from the nearby courtyard wall, so she landed easily.
just……
After finishing her dresses, she was about to return to the Zou Mansion first, but a hand was placed on her shoulder without any warning, followed by a chuckle that made her creepy: "Is it because of Yuanjia Luzhai, or you and me? The fate is too deep, and he took the initiative to send it to the door?"
Xi Fuwei took a deep breath: "Wen Xianyun?"
"Yeah." Wen Xianyun replied indifferently, and said, "Don't look back, just keep going... Let's talk alone? Or should I just yell now and let Miss Xu come down and talk to you?"
These two Xi Fuwei didn’t want to choose one of them, so they said,
Master Shen is in the next street. He wants to talk to the nobleman from Ying Tianfu about important things for a while, so he temporarily sent me out to buy something. Go back to life."
She deliberately bit the word "return to life" seriously.
However, Wen Xianyun remained unmoved: "Since I went back later, I happened to meet Miss Xu in the middle, and she was invited by Miss Xu to have a meal and have a chat alone... It doesn't seem to offend Master Shen?"
Xi Fuwei was silent, and said, "What's in front?"
Although Wen Xianyun is not a good thing, it may even be her enemy of killing her father and brother, but compared to Xu Jingyuan, Xi Fuwei still wants to deal with him.
After all, an eldest lady like Xu Jingyuan can kill and set fire just by looking at her mood, and the status of Dingguo's sister also makes her less afraid of the theft of Lan.
And Wen Xianyun at least didn't want to offend Jin Yiwei too miserably.
"Don't you know after you pass?" Wen Xianyun's voice was a little cold, "Or do you want to continue standing here, and the people who stood by Miss Xu found that the situation was not right?"
Xi Fuwei bit her lip, stepped away and walked forward.
After walking about a shot, Wen Xianyun said, "The door on the left is concealed. Go in."
"Where is this place?" After entering, I found that it was a backyard with a small yard. There was a bunch of grapes in it, which had withered this season. Next to the grape stands were swings and wells, as well as stone tables and benches. With dead leaves and dust, it looks like it has been unoccupied for a long time.
Xi Fuwei glanced at the well and thought of hiding the corpse. She was wary and asked, "Is it the property you bought in Jining?"
Wen Xianyun didn't answer this, but instead of letting go of the hand that had been pressing on her shoulder, walked out from behind her with a gloomy expression: "You don't even care about the funeral of your father and brother, you just ran out of Dongchang Mansion. , But he believed Jin Yiwei's words and thought that the death of your father and brother was done by the Wen family?"
Xi Fuwei didn't expect that this was what he said first, so she changed her mind and said: "The Xi family is just an ordinary squire in Dongchang Mansion, and because the days of migration are relatively shallow, it is a little incompatible with the squires of the country. Your family voluntarily came to the house and insisted on getting married. It was nothing more than a fancy to my brother's future. Therefore, my brother's death should have nothing to do with Wen's family."
She pondered, and added, "Although I have always felt that my brother was too coincidental, and his condition at that time didn't seem like he would die immediately."
"You are wrong." Wen Xianyun shook his head, "Your brother's death really has something to do with the Wen family! But I only recently learned about it."
Xi Fuwei's pupils shrank suddenly, and then looked at him for a moment.
"Do you know the situation of my Wenjia?" Wen Xianyun looked at her and asked.
Without waiting for Xi Fuwei's answer, he immediately said again, "You definitely don't know. After all, you have always bored me. When your brother was here before, he didn't bother to say a word to me, let alone inquire about Wen Jia's details. ?"
Xi Fuwei didn't bother to tell him this at the moment, and just asked: "Why did the Wen family harm my brother?"
"You are now involved in the Kaihe incident." Wen Xianyun said straightforwardly without going around in circles, "This incident probably started here."
He said that the origin of the problem lies in Kaihe, but after hearing this, Xi Fuwei felt that this was the problem of Wen Jia itself:
The Wen family is similar to the Zou family, and the ancestors developed through the river.
After the congestion of the Huitong River, Wen's family has already become a climatic one. Although it has declined, it is still the first-class family in Dongchang Mansion.
However, because there was no money for Huitonghe, Wen's family was very cautious in separating the family.
Earlier, Wen’s family was able to pass the river, so it could be said that they entered the battle of gold every day and the night of the silver. When the brothers were separated, even if they were not the eldest son, they would not be treated badly, and even the concubine could sit comfortably. Have Wanguan family property.
The Huitong River is so congested. Although Wen's family still has a lot of accumulation on hand, for precautionary considerations, the family has never seen the seeds of reading for several generations. Worried about the decline of the family's voice, from Wen Xianyun's grandfather generation At the beginning, it was decided that a family property was passed on to the eldest son, and the other sons could only get a few hundred taels of silver to go out.
Comparing the treatment that Wen's family gave to the princes before, sons other than the eldest son, of course, felt unfair.
"The Wen family has always hoped that one day the waves that flow through the river will be mighty again." Wen Xianyun said with no expression. "So after the country settled on the tripod, it also set up some properties in Yingtianfu, inquired about the affairs of the court, waiting for opportunities, or saying , Waiting for the opportunity to create a dredging canal."
However, during His Majesty the Emperor Taizu's years, the kingdom was not peaceful at all, it was also a side trouble, it was also the prince's early death, and it was also a slaughter hero...When Emperor Jianwen came to power, all attention was focused on the feudal clan.
Following the foot is the battle of Jing Nan.
Lao Zhu's family is fighting to death, and it is too late to in the same room. Where can you have the time to manage what will pass the river?
The people waiting for this opportunity are heartbroken.
The main branch of the Wen family is the line of Wen Xianyun, because he is the eldest son of the prostitute and inherited the entire family business. There is no worries, so he gradually forgot about this matter.
On the contrary, because the rules of separation of families have changed, their situation has almost plummeted.
Among the descendants, there was no particular enthusiasm, and all hopes fell on the Huitong River.
Then, they really waited: "An eyeliner in Yingtian Mansion is a servant of a powerful family. Two or three years ago, he accidentally heard the master over there complain privately, saying that it was because of the dragon. The land of Xingzhi is in the north, and I intend to move the capital. In order to facilitate the transportation of water after the capital is moved, and also to facilitate the use of troops in the north, I decided to dredge the entire canal."
When the side branch heard the news, they were overjoyed, but someone stood up and reminded them: "Although the family business was divided into several shares before the river was blocked, the long house took double shares. However, the two generations of rules have been established. The main branch occupies an absolute advantage. Those of us who have been squeezed out of the clan have no voice at all... Even if the river is reopened, will they re-divide the family business, or maybe Leave those fat and oily errands to us?!"
It is understandable that they have such worries.
After all, when Wen Xianyun's grandfather decided to change the separation rules, the children other than the eldest son, including the backyard, and some elderly people, can be said to be rioting!
Although in the end Wen Xianyun's grandfather insisted, the Wen family still divided according to his wishes, but the family's thoughts have also fallen apart since then, and the grievances have been settled.
Even if we get the chance to revive the Wen family again, the main branch of the Wen family may not be willing to bring the side branches to revitalize the family business.
What if you think of the hatred of the past and join forces to deal with the main branch after the side branch becomes the weather?
The side branch had such concerns, so he suppressed the matter, without letting the main branch know.
Xi Fuwei heard this with a gloomy expression, and asked, "What does this have to do with my father and brother? Can't they retaliate against your main supporter, so they will take my father and brother out of anger?"
Wen Xianyun said lightly: "After confirming your Majesty's insistence on moving the capital, the side branch felt that the crossing of the river must be opened. Then now the war in the north is not settled, your majesty definitely does not want to go through the river. And if such a large project is to go smoothly, it is reasonable and reasonable, and you will hope that the prominent families along the river will help!"
And Dongchang Mansion Wenjia is definitely the main force of help.
To be precise, it is the main branch of the Wen family, and it must be the main help...After all, the specific errands of Kaihe can conscript the people for military service, but in the final analysis, the expenses and the like depend on the generosity of large households.
At the beginning, the side branch was almost purely leaving home, how can the family background compare with the main branch?
They are the whole family willing to participate in Kaihe, and their role is limited.
In other words, Huitonghe will reopen, but the glory and wealth of their side branches may not come again.
"The side branch decided to try to get rid of the main branch." Wen Xianyun narrowed his eyes. "It's just that the main branch is extremely powerful in Dongchang Palace, and it is not something they can fight against."
"They thought about it and decided to take advantage of their strength."
"For example, the reading seeds of Dongchang Mansion in recent years...Your brother Xi Fucui, my former classmate and brother-in-law!"
"If he died in the hands of the Wen family leader, among the Shilin, how can he not be indignant?"
"By then..."
Wen Xianyun did not continue speaking, but looked at Xi Fuwei meaningfully.
Xi Fuwei's face was pale, and for a while, she said, "Since the side branches are almost going out of the house, it can be seen that the power is very declining. Although I dare not say that the house is so strict that it is difficult for a fly to get in and out, I must say that they have the ability to handle it. Reached to my brother, but I didn't believe it!"
She looked at Wen Xianyun, "Is it because my brother’s old age is giving him and giving me the Xi family’s grievances, you and your patrons can’t hold back, or the main branch you are in is in the eyes of your patrons? The weight is not so heavy and you are unwilling to help you? So you plan to make up such a set of words to coax me?"
He sneered, "Do you think I am such a fool?"
Wen Xianyun looked at her blankly, and after a while, he smiled weirdly: "Weiwei, of course the next branch of Wen's family does not have this ability. But... you forget who reminded you at the beginning and guard against me. Are you, the fiance who has done your best for the Xi family?!"
"..." Xi Fuwei's expression suddenly changed!
