"Pah..."

"Pah..."

It was the sound of ink dripping on the ground.

When the eldest young master was sleeping on the table, he pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the side of the table. When he was awakened by Shunzi, the expensive inkstone worth hundreds of taels was overturned, and the ink inside dripped down.

In the dead silent study at this moment, it was deafening.

Zong Wenxiu was the first to move. He calmly walked over and turned the inkstone over, and skillfully found a rag to wipe the ink marks on the ground.

This was not the first time that his brother overturned the inkstone.

Zong Wenxiu always felt sorry for those expensive things that were wasted for no reason. Sometimes he would wake up in the middle of the night when he thought about it, and cried and asked his mother why people here were like this. Those wasted things could save so many people.

His mother told him that this was another world, and he only needed to accept it as a great gift from heaven, and he must not do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise they would lose everything and return to that dark, damp and desperate place.

Zong Wenxiu didn't want to live that kind of life anymore. He wanted to stay here and live a good life and study hard, so he began to learn to hide his emotions so that no one could find out.

But when he said these words to his brother just now, his emotions couldn't help but fluctuate, and he brought it to Jingzhe... He wanted to see how his spoiled brother would react to this.

Zong Jincheng was stunned in place, unbelievable.

"You are lying to me!" He was very sure, how could the twenty taels of silver in his cognition be so different from the normal one?

Zong Jincheng looked at Shunzi, who was nodding, but he still felt it was impossible!

Zong Wenxiu added, "If everyone is as rich as the Marquis's, why don't Zhai Yao and his family buy the 500-tael-a-horse? Why can't any of the three of them afford it?"

"If even the eldest son of the dignified Bo's family can't afford a horse, what kind of life do ordinary people outside live? Have you ever understood this?"

Zong Wenxiu tried to keep his voice emotionless. His younger brother was not a bad-hearted child. He was just a child of heaven who was born and raised in wealth. He didn't know that he was enjoying a rare luxury in the world.

Zong Jincheng backed out of the door.

After taking a few steps back, he felt that he bumped into someone. When he turned around, he saw the woman and the familiar Cuizhi and Cuiliu.

Xu Wan was about to come in and tell the little devil that the three horses were coming back, but as soon as she arrived in the yard, she heard Zong Wenxiu's conversion and smiled brightly.

This little helper was really not wrong.

Seeing her smile, Zong Jincheng felt that it was impossible, "You must have bribed them to deceive me! I know! It must be fake!"

Xu Wan looked at the little devil with a throbbing forehead and felt even happier. It was over. She was getting more and more interested in seeing this little devil get angry. This bad taste... had to be controlled.

She cleared her throat, restrained her smile and said, "If you don't believe it, go out of the mansion and take a look. See what the world is like outside, and see if everyone in the capital has been bribed by me."

"Of course I will go! I will expose your lies! Liar, what four thousand kilograms of grain? If grain is so cheap, why does it cost me dozens of taels for a meal!"

Zong Jincheng ran while talking, his calves stomping on the corridor. The clean ground did not fly a bit of dust. It was the stone of Yushan, which was made flat and smooth by skilled craftsmen, and then wiped three times a day by servants. There was no dust.

Xu Wan looked at his back and said to Zong Wenxiu: "Look at this child, he is carefree. The old lady loves him like a treasure. He lives a more comfortable life than the princes and nobles."

Zong Wenxiu nodded and said: "This is actually quite good. He can live happily all his life."

Xu Wan smiled and said: "This may be the consideration of the old marquis and the old lady in the past eight years. I don't know why they have changed their minds now."

At lunch time, the little devil had not returned yet, and Xu Wan invited Zong Wenxiu to eat first.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'd better wait for my brother."

"Don't wait, look at the boy's unconvinced look, he has to ask around several streets, and he won't come back until the evening." Xu Wan has taken the lead in sitting down and starting to eat.

Zong Wenxiu also sat over and asked, "You really don't want anyone to go with you?"

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows: "Are you still worried about his poor psychological endurance?"

"After all, my brother is two years younger than me..."

Xu Wan smiled unceremoniously and complained, "You think too much. Although he is spoiled, he is thick-skinned. Otherwise, why would he always want to torment others? Speaking of which, if your grandparents didn't disagree, that kid would be quite suitable for martial arts training. He must be thick-skinned and resistant to training."

Zong Wenxiu said nothing silently.

In the evening, the little devil came back indignantly, with his voice of disbelief all the way:

"How can food be so cheap? Five cents, I have never heard of such a small amount of silver in my life!"

"And those linen clothes, how can they only be a dozen cents, then why do the clothes I wear cost dozens or hundreds of taels?"

"And Zui Xiang Lou! They charge me dozens of taels for meals every day, aren't their chickens hatched from eggs? Aren't their dishes fried in a pot?"

"What's the location? Even in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, they can't sell me a roast goose for two taels! A live goose is only a few dozen cents!!"

"It's so deceptive! I was deceived by them!!!"

"..."

Xu Wan was sitting in the yard reading a storybook leisurely. She was laughing so hard at hearing these complaints that she couldn't read the content of the book.

She closed the storybook and looked at the little bastard who came in through the door. She asked with a smile: "How is the questioning going? Have all the people on the street outside been bribed by me?"

Close to the face and open it.

It is extremely insulting and even more hurtful.

Little Devil: "!!!"

This woman is too much!

She actually blocked him in the yard and laughed at him! !

Believe it or not, he will run away from home immediately! ! !

Zong Jincheng was so angry that his face was puffed up, and his cheeks were still red, just like a red-hot iron.

Xu Wan thought that if he continued to laugh at him, this kid would probably explode on the spot and die with her.

The kindhearted stepmother said, "Butler Liu has helped you get the three Ferghana horses back, but I heard that your friends reacted strongly, saying that you went back on your word and wanted back the things you gave away."

"Especially the one named Zhai Yao, who said that if you don't go to his house to apologize to him, we will no longer be friends."
