Chapter 114(1/2)
The Wen family is rich and naturally has eyes and ears in the capital.
The prince's proposal was just a little bit of noise, and it came into Wen Yan's ears, and immediately rode back to Beijing and headed straight for Ling Mansion.
When Bai Meng entered the prince's mansion, it can be seen that he was a minister of the prince's backup. He proposed this matter, and the person who benefited would definitely be Bai Wei.
Wen Yan specially asked Bai Wei to negotiate terms.
"How about we split the jade mine in Baoyuan Fucheng?"
Wen Yan was straightforward and got to the point.
Bai Wei estimated that Wen Yan's purpose was not sloppy. Bai Wei was also cheerful, "I have this plan, but the Wen family will definitely suffer."
Wen Yan's eyes were gloomy and a sinister smile hung on his lips.
"Spend money and eliminate disasters."
The tone is unhappy.
Bai Wei pretended not to understand the profound meaning in his eyes. Although Bai Meng proposed this matter, even if it was not him, it would be someone else.
The treasury is empty, and the financial resources of Wen and Jiang families are too eye-catching. How can the prince not greedy?
"Young Master Wen, you don't suffer any loss by giving up small wealth and exchanging big wealth. You two families have long been targeted by the prince. You happened to go to Beijing. If you took the lead in the Jiang family and surrendered to the prince. Giving up half of the family's wealth, the family will be worry-free, why don't you do it?" Bai Wei thought to herself that the prince would never think of something she could think of? In front of the interests, there are all selfish and ambitions, but I am afraid that the Wen family will also cut off some of the money that should have given to the court.
Now that the Jade Mine has changed its owner, the prince easily finds an excuse to investigate thoroughly.
Bai Wei rashly took over the Jade Mine and offended the local snake. She was afraid she would fall into trouble. This is also the reason why she chose to cooperate with the Wen family.
The two are allies and are tightly tied together. If the Jiang family oppresses her, the Wen family will never sit idly by.
More importantly, the money she handed over cannot be less than the money she paid by Wen Jiang's family every year.
Wen Yan knew that if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have talked to Bai Wei about cooperation today, but instead found a way to kill Bai Meng.
He suddenly smiled, "I'll ask Miss Bai to worry so much."
Bai Weifu was in his heart, "I'll send someone to invite my elder brother now." She ordered Wen Lan to invite Bai Meng, the general of the Imperial College, to come.
Turning his head, he saw Wen Yan leaning on his chin, staring at her for a moment.
Wen Yan leaned on the back of the chair, stroked his fingers across his lips, smiling as if he was smiling, "I thought you were a bad guy, and I never thought you were a blessing."
Bai Wei pursed her lips. The original owner was unlucky, but she was really lucky. Her parents who came through did not value boys over girls, were kind-hearted and honest. Those who married by chance were also good people they wanted.
She smiled and said, "Everyone's destiny is in his own hands."
Perhaps it was her unyielding tenacity that attracted Shen Yu.
Wen Yan's eyes flashed darkly and he nodded seriously, "What you said is indeed reasonable. Destiny is in your own hands. Just fight for whatever you want. If you don't try it, who knows the final result?"
Bai Wei looked up and Wen Yan stood up on the armchair with both hands, "I've been running around for days and I'm exhausted. You can arrange a clean room and I'll take a break."
Wen Yan is in his backyard, leisurely walking in the courtyard.
But I really don't treat myself as an outsider!
You're welcome at all!
Bai Weinian was in a useful position with Shen Yu and left Wen Yan in a wing room in their yard.
"Don't disturb my dream." Wen Yan closed the door "bang".
Bai Wei was so angry that she gritted her teeth. The Imperial College was not far from here. She asked Lan that she had taken a carriage and it took at most half an hour to go back and forth.
When Wen Yan slept, who knew when he woke up?
Don't you delay my brother's time in vain?
Sure enough, when Bai Meng came, there was no movement in Wen Yan's room.
After waiting, the sun sets, Wen Yan just opened the door lazily and casually. His face was a little better, and the blue shadows in his eyes were faint.
Bai Wei and Chen Yu, Bai Meng sat at the table for supper.
Wen Yan glanced at the table and sat on the stool, "When is this time? Why don't you call me for dinner?"
Bai Wei smiled and said without a smile: "Young Master Wen specially told you not to disturb your dreams. I see that you are only concerned about rushing on the road and not having a good rest, so you will not disturb your sleep."
Wen Yan waved his hand and revealed this.
He asked Lan to put a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Bai Wei glared at him.
Wen Yan seemed to have not seen it, chewed slowly, rinsed half a bowl of rice, rinsed his mouth, wiped his lips, put the veil on the table, glanced at Bai Meng, but said to Bai Wei: "Bai Meng's words, the Wen family lost a lot of wealth, can he wait for me?"
Bai Wei's lips twitched, and Wen Yan sneered coldly, "This is considered light." A faint aura came out between her eyebrows and eyes.
"If Young Master Wen can't let go, we have a grudge against my elder brother, so we don't have to cooperate." Bai Wei put the bowl on the table. Who has no temper? "Others, everyone depends on their ability!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated.
Wen Yan's cold eyes fell on Bai Wei, and the corners of his mouth pressed down.
Bai Meng took the vegetables and put them in Bai Wei's bowl, "Eat." Instead, he said to Wen Yan: "Young Master Wen is not a brave but unscheming person. I know which one is more important, and I will not joke about the Wen family."
Wen Yan turned his head away.
Bai Wei doesn't like dealing with Wen Yan, and is forced to do so.
He is a very dangerous person.
If you keep this account on Bai Meng, after surviving the difficulties, Wen Yan can do the task of destroying the bridge across the river.
Wen Yan's breath was cold all over his body. Why don't you know what Bai Wei was thinking?
His face was gloomy, looking at the belated butler, his face became increasingly ugly, "Is the account book shipped?"
"We've all been brought here, right at the gate of Ling Mansion." The butler said carefully: "Do you want to move in?"
"No need." Wen Yan glanced at Bai Wei with a sideways, stood up and headed towards the door of Ling Mansion.
Bai Wei was stunned and looked at each other with Bai Meng.
Chen Yu said, "He is waiting for the account book."
Bai Wei pursed her lips. Is this a misunderstanding of Wen Yan?
Who made him owe him?
Although he was complaining so much in his heart, Bai Wei stood up and left the mansion.
The housekeeper was respectful and invited Bai Wei to board the carriage.
Bai Wei got into the carriage, there was a box inside, and an oil lamp was lit on the small table.
Wen Yan opened it, took out a copy and threw it into her arms.
“This is the account from last year.”
Bai Wei looked through it and found that this book was from January last year, which recorded in detail the income and expenditure, a dividing line in the middle, and the accounts recorded below were different, which were different from the first half.
I felt like the dates were all number one, the first half was the real account, and the second half was the fake account.
Another copy of the fake account was copied and sent to the capital with the money.
Wen Yan is as careful as a child. In case of precautions, all the real and fake accounts are in their hands.
"You are going to give this box of accounts to the prince with the silver?"
"Do you have a better offer?"
Bai Wei remained silent.
Wen Yan bent one leg, put his arm on his knees, and raised the corner of his mouth, "One percent is to come out, 20 percent is to come out, just give it a pleasure, so that it won't provoke the prince." He suddenly leaned forward, "Don't you think this is better? The prince has a clear idea of the annual output of the jade mine. When the time comes, the Jiang family will still make false accounts. When the prince is angry, will he take over the Jiang family? It won't be possible for you and me to take action!"
Bai Wei didn't expect that Wen Yan had this idea, and his heart was indeed made of black sesame stuffing.
It was a rare opportunity. Bai Wei took the opportunity to stay up all night to read the account book, and was secretly shocked. What a rich fortune hidden in the jade mine in Baoyuan Mansion City!
He couldn't help but look at Wen Yan with admiration, but he was willing to give up!
Even if she gets 20% a year, she will be rich all her life and have no worries about food and clothing.
Chen Yu accompanied Bai Wei in the carriage all night. The space was too cramped and his muscles were stiff. "Have you finished watching?"
Bai Wei nodded, "Man dies for money and birds die for food. If you have this wealth, it is no wonder that they risk their lives to make money."
No one would think that there was too much money. Looking at this mountain of silver, few people could resist greed.
She was ready to move when she looked at her heart.
"Small wealth is at ease." Chen Yu laughed softly.
Bai Wei nodded in agreement, "You are right. If you spend enough money, you will be able to make it. What is important is family happiness."
Putting the account book back neatly, Bai Wei got off the carriage, stretched her bones, and her bones clattered.
Bai Meng and Wen Yan came out of the mansion and were about to see the prince.
"You haven't slept all night, go back to your house to wash and have some rest." Bai Meng looked at the red blood in Bai Wei's eyes and frowned, "You don't understand, just ask Young Master Wen."
Wen Yan got on the carriage without looking sideways.
