Wu Xinan only said a few words. Wan Jinquan stayed in this mansion for so many years, but how could he not hear the sadness? He heard this and felt sympathy for his junior nephew, and said in his heart,

"She is a little girl's house, and her family cannot tolerate her. She suffers a lot of grievances. It's really not easy!"

He naturally didn't know that only Wu Xinan gave this grievance to others, but it was not what others gave it to her!

Even if there is a place to teach, Wan Jinquan felt relieved, asked her where she is now, and set the time.

"From today, you must practice boxing sooner or later. I will pass by your place every three days. If you slack off, you will be punished heavily. Can you stand it?"

Wu Xinan nodded,

"Don't worry, uncle, I can stand it!"

"That's good!"

Wan Jinquan was very happy and told her some rules for practicing boxing, and then she sent her out. When the two arrived at the gate, Wan Jinquan couldn't help but ask,

"I...my senior sister, she...is she okay?"

Wu Xinan turned his eyes, sighed softly, shook his head and said,

"Master Miao... is not doing well..."

Seeing Wan Jinquan's face flashed with pity, he continued,

"Master Miao has no place to go now, she only lives in the boxing gym. She is soft-hearted and taught some apprentices that they see that they are poor, so they can't bear to collect cash. Life is very tight. They don't have any money to eat wine on weekdays. When I left, my nephew, I also bought her a year's wine!"

Wan Jinquan heard the sound of the sound of the voice,

"It's not good to eat too much wine, why do you have to make wine for her?"

Wu Xinan sighed again,

"Master Miao is bitter in his heart. He has nothing to do except church members. He feels so sad that he can only drown his sorrow by drinking!"

After saying that, he bowed to Wan Jinquan and jumped into the carriage and left. Only Wan Jinquan, who looked heartbroken, stood there blankly until the carriage left, and then murmured,

"She is so arrogant outside, but her heart is softer than anyone else's inside. I don't know how she lived for so many years..."

Turning around lonely, a beautiful little lady came out of the door. When she saw Wan Jinquan, she came up and asked.

"Uncle Wan, who is in the carriage?"

Wan Jinquan forced a smile at her and replied,

"It's one of my nephews..."

"Mr. Nephew?"

The little lady frowned,

"Where did you come from your junior nephew?"

Wan Jinquan replied with a smile,

"It's from Hangzhou, my senior sister's apprentice..."

"Is it a woman?"

The little lady asked curiously, Wan Jinquan nodded, bowed to her, and walked into the door. The little lady stood there looking at the street where the carriage had long disappeared, and couldn't help but frowned again.

"woman?"

Wu Xin'an went home, so he naturally practiced boxing as Wan Jinquan said, but he remembered something again. When she was in Hangzhou City, Pei He taught her to read, but she was a little more rude. But when she arrived in Nanjing City, no one taught herself to read. In the future, she had to practice boxing and also recognize this word.

"It seems... I still have to find a teacher!"

Wu Xin'an was planning to invite his husband, but Wu Hongwen and Xiao Cheng were planning to buy a house. Now the house has agreed to rent it for three months, and it has been a month since then, but the new house has not been settled. In order to avoid extra money, it is better to buy a new house earlier.

So Wu Hongwen went to a few more places in person, saw one that suited her feelings, and came back to discuss with Xiao Cheng's family,

"I have seen that house, it's very good. The children can also arrange it. The largest yard is left for my mother and her old man..."

After talking about the layout of the yard in detail, he frowned at the end.

"It's just that the price is a bit high, so I have to negotiate with the seller!"

Xiao Cheng asked him,

"How much is the price quoted?"

"Ten thousand three thousand taels..."

"Ten thousand three thousand taels!"

Xiao Cheng heard the brows frowned tightly, and thought carefully in his heart before saying to Wu Hongwen.

"Master, we may not be able to make up so much money in our hands!"

Wu Hongwen also had a lot of money in his heart. He had earned 10,000 taels of silver for selling the house in front of him, but he had not moved here. He also made more than 4,000 taels of silver from his mother's box and gave Xiao Cheng five hundred taels, leaving only about 4,000 taels.

When I first came to Nanjing, I sat on a bench. My colleagues didn’t have much social interaction and couldn’t spend much money. However, after the Duke of Wei’s house gave him gifts, someone warmly invited him to attend such banquets, such as wealthy businessmen, officials and gentry in Nanjing, or poetry parties, tea parties, etc., that is, when I walked outside, there were people who didn’t need money. After a while, Wu Hongwen spent another 200 taels of silver.

The amount of money that can be mobilized in this way is only 13,800 taels of silver. The other party asked for 13,000 taels of silver. With the tax money, it was just enough. Wu Hongwen could take it out, but he couldn't take it so readily. Otherwise, Xiao Cheng would have asked about the origin of more than 3,000 taels of silver. How could Wu Hongwen mention the origin of this money?

So he thought about it,

"Look, it seems that only the house will be attracted to. I will go there again tomorrow. I hope the seller can reduce the price and buy the house..."

Paused,

"I'll find a way to do money. If I really can't do it, I'll just borrow it from my colleagues!"

Xiao Cheng was a little worried after hearing this,

"Master, who is more than three thousand taels of silver? Who is willing to lend it to the master?"

On the surface, the salaries of officials are extremely low, and they are already at the peak of borrowing dozens of taels of silver from each other. Those who can make hundreds or thousands of moves must be very personal friends. How long has Wu Hongwen been in Nanjing? How long can he make such friends?

Wu Hongwen waved his hand when he heard it

"Don't worry, I have my own opinions!"

Sure enough, after less than two days, Wu Hongwen collected all the money and went to tell the seller about the price, but he lost 200 taels of silver. After paying the deed tax, Wu Hongwen had seven or eight hundred taels of silver left, but he was preparing to buy a house when moving.

Xiao Cheng was also confused when he saw that the house was so smoothly.

"Where did the master get this money?"

She asked indirectly several times. Wu Hongwen disdained to lie, but she couldn't tell his wife about taking his mother's money privately, so she had to respond vaguely every time.

"You, a woman, care about these things. The money I made is just right. Don't worry, just use it!"

Seeing that Xiao Cheng couldn't tell why, he had no choice but to give up and secretly guessed in his heart.

"If you ask who borrowed it, the master couldn't tell you a name. It seems that this was not borrowed. Maybe it was a new employee who was respected by someone?"

She followed Wu Hongwen for so many years and knew that there were only a few ways for him to make money, and that there was no outside of it, that was the salary. The plaintiff and the defendant were responsible for the case, or they met wealthy businessmen and gentry outside, and showed goodwill to the other party, hoping that they would be able to speak when they asked others in the future, and gave them in advance, etc.

But staying at the cold yamen in Nanjing is more than before?

Xiao Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he just thought that Wu Hongwen had collected money outside, and was busy handling the move-in of the new house, but he temporarily left this behind.

Wu Xinan came to the door every three days to give advice, but he practiced boxing quietly. He thought that Wan Jinquan had been in Nanjing for many years. I thought that he must be familiar with the characters here, so he asked the teacher who taught words.

"Uncle Wan, there are familiar scholars and juren, and there is no need to learn much, just learning to recognize a few words!"

Wan Jinquan nodded with appreciation when he heard this.

"It is a good thing for my nephew to have such ambition, and I will ask for help you inquire!"

Wan Jinquan went back and asked around. The guards who were familiar with the royal palace came to look for him.

"My brother-in-law passed the college entrance examination last year and was preparing to take the provincial examination. However, his family couldn't afford it. He asked him to come out and find some work to earn money by himself. If the teacher Wan didn't dislike him, would he be willing to see him?"

Wan Jinquan asked,

"I don't know how old I am, if I'm too young..."

My junior is a little girl and hasn’t gotten married yet. This reputation is the most important thing!

The other party smiled,

"I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. My brother-in-law is 40 years old this year. He is not diligent in four bodies, does not distinguish between grains, and can only study. He has only become a scholar when he is old. He still wants to pass the imperial examination. My wife's second-year-old family is old but she can't afford him anymore. She can only let him come out to teach students, and at least she has enough to fill her stomach!"

Wan Jinquan nodded after hearing this,

"Even so, I will go and see you. If it can be done, I will take it to my nephew..."

The man was overjoyed to see a man in the house and bowed to thank him.

"Thank you, Teacher Wan!"

"No need to thank me. Whether this matter will be successful depends on my nephew's meaning. I am just a middle-aged man..."

The man replied,

"If you can go and meet, this matter will be halfway..."

The two of them decided to go out to see someone on the second day. Their name was Hao Yuanming. They had a square face, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, and a majestic appearance. It was the appearance of Taizu when he was there. Hao Yuanming was a bit old-fashioned. He heard that he wanted to teach a female student and frowned.

"Hao is not talented and has never taught a female student, I'm afraid he is not competent..."

His brother-in-law heard this and hurried out to smooth things over.

"This... this is the first time for everything. I haven't taught this before, I'll know it once!"

Hao Yuanming responded,

"That is, you cannot teach randomly before you have taught me, and you must never mislead your children!"

The more he refused like this, the more Wan Jinquan admired the man and said in his heart,

"Even if you have such words, you must be a square and upright gentleman. Your nephew only knows a few words, and you don't want to do anything to take the imperial examination. You still have to be the first priority for your moral behavior!"

Thinking of this, I told Hao Yuanming,
Chapter completed!
