Xiao Zhan placed a sachet on the table, embroidered with a bird, with rough stitches and a small white ball embroidered next to it.

In Wei Zizhu's words, this ball is a pearl, and it is also her name.

Wei Jing recognized the sachet as soon as he saw it embroidered by Wei Zizhu, holding it tightly, "Where did you find it? Where is my fourth sister now?"

"This sachet was found in a scroll, and the scroll was auctioned again, and there was no news for a while. However, the business traveler did have a wife named Wei. I guess she was almost your fourth sister, but she was not sure." Xiao Zhan said.

Wei Jing was a little excited, "When did this happen?"

"Half a month ago, those scrolls were obtained from a business traveler, but the business travel is uncertain and they are still being tracked down."

Wei Jing sniffed, his voice trembling a little, "Sister Four must be alive."

After waiting for a while, Wei Jing's mood gradually calmed down. He picked up a glass of wine, "If Brother Zhan has news about my fourth sister, you must tell me in time."

After drinking a glass of wine, Wei Jing's face was choked and coughed repeatedly. Xiao Zhan's big hand naturally helped Wei Jing's back.

"There is another thing..." Xiao Zhan patiently handed a cup of tea with his other hand, and his tone was gentle, "Hua'an has arrived in Beijin smoothly. Although there are some twists and turns on the road, it has passed, and General Qi's condition has stabilized."

Wei Jing took the teacup from Xiao Zhan's hand, took a sip, and looked up at Xiao Zhan in surprise, "Will Emperor Beijin be unfavorable to Hua'an?"

"Hua'an is the Concubine of Nanliang. Who is the one who is the first to be unlucky when something happens?" Xiao Zhan raised his tone and his stunning face squinted his eyes.

Something happened to the Concubine Nanliang, and Bei Jin could not give an explanation. Bei Jin also had a proton left in Nanliang, which was the second prince Xiao in front of him.

Wei Jie looked embarrassed, "Hua'an will be fine, Prince Xiao can rest assured."

Xiao Zhan hummed.

The stalemate that had just risen was always easily cracked by Xiao Zhan. In front of Xiao Zhan, Wei Jing was always the one who was in the wrong.

"You caused this."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

"If I have something in the future, you have to take care of it."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

"Wei Jing?"

Wei Jing raised his eyes and met those obsidian eyes. His beautiful Danfeng eyebrows were slightly raised and his thin lips were pursed. Wei Jing was a little stunned.

"Do you know what reputation I have in Kyoto City?"

Wei Jing shook his head.

The two words "Broken sleeves!" were squeezed out from the gaps of teeth. Wei Yin's scalp was numb when he heard it, and she was also blamed for this.

"Princess Jin intends to betroth the Gu family's daughter to me. You said, should I marry her?"

Wei Zhi shook his head decisively, "Gu Lufu is not worthy of Brother Zhan!"

"But Princess Jin is an elder, and I am a junior. So what should I do? I helped you, and I almost exposed my strength and was suspected by Princess Jin. What should I do?"

"But Gu Lufu is the legitimate daughter of Shangshu Gu, and the empress dowager likes her very much, I..." Wei Ji frowned, why did he hand over a lot of messes to her? The second half of the sentence came to his lips, and he caught a glimpse of someone's gloomy face, and immediately changed his words, "No, can't I watch Gu Lufu harm Brother Zhan."

Xiao Zhan raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and reached out to pat Wei Jin on the shoulder, "Then I'm waiting for your good news."

Before Wei Ji could refuse, Xiao Zhan walked over the window and left. June pushed the door open and entered, "Miss Jiu, Miss Jiu's selection is over, and I'll send someone to urge you."

Wei Qi frowned, feeling mixed with joy. It took several seconds to come back to his senses. He got up and went back to the shop. Wei Qi's eyelids suddenly jumped. There were at least twenty brocade boxes on the table, all of which were wrapped. Wei Qian was still sitting on the chair and drinking tea with a smile on her face.

"Sister Qi, I'll also choose one for you and your aunt."

Wei Jing shook his head, "No need, I have finished choosing today. As for the mother's part, I thank you."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Jing picked up a golden hairpin and paired it with two pearl earrings, a total of fifty taels of silver. "Pack it up and give it to Aunt San and Sister Eight later."

"yes!"

June took out two sons and handed them to the shopkeeper in pain. The shopkeeper was stunned. Before he could speak, Wei Jing said to Wei Qian again, "Sister Ninth, we have been out for a long time, it's time to go back."

As soon as he raised his footsteps, the shopkeeper stopped Wei Jing with a embarrassed look on his face. "Miss, these are 4,825 taels of silver. After some of them, there are still 4,800 taels of silver left. None of them are paid."

Wei Zhi pretended to be surprised, "The account has not been paid yet. Sister Jiu, have you not finished picking it yet?"

"Sister Qi, what do you mean?" Wei Qian realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stood up, "Aren't these you checked out?"

Wei Jing was amused and crying, "You bought these, and I don't lack jewelry. Besides, how could I have so much silver on me?"

When the shopkeeper heard that he had no money, his face immediately drooped. He was busy serving him in the afternoon, paying a lot of smiles and wasting saliva. As a result, he said he had no money. You can imagine how bad the shopkeeper was in.

"No money?" Wei Qian's eyes rolled and she looked at June, "Then let June go back to get it, let's wait a little longer."

"Sister Ninth, you've made a mistake. You should have asked Moli to pick it up to Aunt San."

"Sister Qi, you want to betray the debt. You clearly agreed to me and buy me jewelry." Wei Qian's face changed directly, so that Wei Shi would not fool him like this.

"When did I promise to buy jewelry for you? You came to me today. You chose these jewelry yourself!" Wei Shi also turned cold. He was greedy and swallowed an elephant. He really regarded himself as a fool.

"You!" Wei Qian didn't expect that Wei Gui would refuse to admit his conscience after turning around.

"Two ladies, who should pay for this money?" the shopkeeper asked patiently.

Wei Qian pointed at Wei Gui without thinking, "Of course she paid the bill, Sister Seven, aunt is in charge of the middle gifts, you are the only lady in the big house. This amount of money is nothing to you. I don't care, I can't take out this money!"

He became a scoundrel in public, and Wei Jing was not a vegetarian. "Shopkeeper, I didn't choose the things. The one I chose has already settled the accounts. You and I have to pay the money. If you hold me down, we might as well find someone to judge."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper made way out, "What the lady said is that she was a little reckless, so she walked slowly."

"Wei Jiang!" Wei Qian stared at Wei Jiang with wide eyes and walked away. The shopkeeper stopped Wei Qian, "Miss, you have chosen these yourself. If you can't afford them, why bother us in public? We are also a small business and cannot withstand the toss."

"Who said I can't afford it?"

After being stimulated by the shopkeeper, Wei Qian turned red, "I want everything, I want everything, I send it to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion to pay the money. I hope the Dahou Mansion will never be able to pay the debt. Bah, I see the people with a slight slouch!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't care and immediately let Wei Qian go and asked someone to send all of them to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion.

"Wei Jing, stop for me!"

Wei Qian was so angry that she called her name, and her eyes were so eager to eat Wei Jing, and gritted her teeth, "I want to tell my grandfather that you bullied me!"

Wei Gui ignored Wei Qian's case when he got on the carriage. "I also want to ask my grandfather to judge him."

The two of them returned to the mansion in anger. Wei Qian went straight to the third room. Before he entered the door, Wei came out with a cold face, "What did you do? The shop people came to the door."

"It's not some jewelry. Sister Qi agreed to give money, but she turned around and refused to admit it. The daughter was ridiculed. Mother, you must make the decision for your daughter." Wei Qian became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she couldn't forget the shopkeeper's contemptuous look.

"When will your frigid temper be changed?" Wei Shu rubbed his brows and glared at Wei Qian fiercely. Wei Qian curled his lips, "It was Sister Qi who bullied people. Relying on the aunt's housekeeper's actions, Sister Qi didn't feel sorry for buying jewelry by herself. If she bought it for me, it wouldn't work. The ones I chose were not as good as the ones in Sister Qi's house."

Wei only heard the maid say something roughly, but she didn't know the details. After hearing Wei Qian say this, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Mother, wasn't the second wife also a concubine before? Now she has the position of marquis. Only our three wife has nothing. We have to look at people's faces everywhere. My daughter is so unfair to her mother." Wei Qian continued.

Just then, the servant in the yard of Mr. Wei invited someone to come over, and Wei rushed over without saying a word.

Princess Yongyang sat in the lower right hand, pinching the tea lid with her fingertips, gently shaved the tea leaves, her face calmly, and Wei Gui stood behind her.

Old Master Wei had a stern face and occasionally glanced at Wei Jing, with bad eyes, "You are a sister, why bother with your sister? How could you learn the past etiquette? Jiu Yatou has suffered a lot in Fenyang and lost the face of the Wei family for some trivial matters. Who taught you this?"

He cursed at the head, but he didn't like Wei Jing anyway. Wei Jing lowered his head, "Grandfather, granddaughter has not been in Kyoto City in the past few years. If he had known that he would be punished, he might as well go to Fenyang to accompany his grandfather."

Wei Hong, who entered the door behind, suddenly jumped and sat on the chair without saying anything.

Old Master Wei choked and said angrily, "Who can treat you badly in the Wei family?"

Wei Jin looked up at Wei Hong, "My sisters are not a good family. My second sister died tragically, and the fourth sister is missing. I was almost sent to be a concubine. My grandfather and granddaughter are only twelve years old."

"Seventh girl, these are all Aunt Tao's ideas. I originally thought it was to give a good home, but I didn't want you to misunderstand it." Wei Hong turned his head and turned the blame on Aunt Tao. Wei Gui's lips were curved and he was a little disdainful.

"It's all over, why bother to mention it again? Seventh girl, don't be angry, it's all the Ninth girl who makes trouble. She is young, don't worry about it." Wei clutched Luo on Wei Qian as soon as he entered the door and lowered his posture at Wei Jian.

"Xiaoqi is only three days older than Jiuyao. The third brother and sister are not children anymore, so there is still a certain degree!" Princess Yongyang spoke lukewarmly, Wei's face looked embarrassed, "Sister-in-law is saying that I can't speak. Qiyao, the third aunt apologizes to you on behalf of Jiuyao."

"There is no need to apologize. I just owed 4800 yuan to Aunt San gave it to the store for Sister Jiu. I won't care about Sister Jiu." Wei Jing said.

Wei frowned, four thousand handfuls of silver, why didn't the maid take it?

"Sister Qi, you asked me to choose at will, and said that the money was not enough for the maid to go back to pick it up. He also said that I had suffered in Fenyang. This was a gift for me, so I would not be laughed at when I went out. Why did I just turn around and betray the debt?" Wei Qian pointed at Wei Yin angrily.

Wei Jing smiled angrily, "My monthly routine is twenty-five taels of silver. Sister Ninth took me to go shopping. Before leaving, my sister Ninth asked me to ask my mother for silver. If it costs more than two hundred taels, I can still take it out. Then she said that if it is not enough, the maid will go back to get it. Sister Ninth took more than twenty, and there is no silver in her pocket, so she can't let it go. Sister Ninth asked someone to send it back to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. Third Aunt, I don't know where the mistake was?"

Wei frowned, not knowing this reason, so he glared at Wei Qian angrily. He gave many instructions over the past few days, and did not overdo it. As a result, Wei Qian got better and couldn't take steps as soon as she saw the beautiful jewelry.

"Mother, I have been back for a few days. I have never seen a penny of monthly money. I eat clear soup and tangerine every day. I can't see meat every ten or half a month. I don't even have the money to buy jewelry. I remember that after I bought it a few years ago, I left the public account."

Wei Qian is a person who can't hide his words. It's good to be able to hold it in until now. She pretends to be pitiful, crying and grievances.

Wei sighed silently, without responding.

"What did you say?" Old Master Wei seemed to have pinched the handle of the words, looked at Wei Qian, and then at Princess Yongyang, "What the hell is going on? The daughter of the Wei family can't afford a piece of jewelry. What Jiu Yatou said is true?"

Princess Yongyang nodded without hesitation.

Wei was stunned. He admitted so happily?

"Sister-in-law, don't take it to your heart. Nine girls have always been a silly person..."

"Third brother and sister, what Jiu Yatou said is true. The mansion has not issued monthly payments to the third house. Not only the third house, but also the second house." Princess Yongyang didn't care at all, and looked at Old Master Wei again, "Father, this is no wonder. Zhong Gong is still losing money. A few years ago, the three families added money to the house every year. So far, in addition to adding money to the big house to maintain the expenses in the mansion, the second house and the third house have not paid a penny."

When talking about this, Wei Hong's eyelids suddenly jumped, "Sister-in-law, it turns out that there is still this matter. Could you make a mistake? I have never cared about the second wife, but the money account book was handed over to my sister-in-law together."

As for what happened later, it has nothing to do with him.
