Chapter 673 The Scam 2
The so-called money can make the devil push the mill, and the high price of 1,000 taels of silver is something that the foreman has never encountered before, so he held back his energy and used enough people and materials. Sure enough, in two days, Wei Xi’s parents’ tombs were really repaired. Although the tombs of the ancestors of the Wei family at the same time, compared with these two tombs, the rest were like the difference between the imperial palace courtyard and the thatched huts of the people.
In addition, the foreman thought he was going to leave, but he knew that he had not had time to leave yet, so he sent the money again, asking him to build a ancestral hall for Wei Xi’s parents next to him. The silver was not much, three thousand taels!
Three thousand taels, what is the scale? Not to mention a mere ancestral hall, it can buy a good house, but now it is used to build a ancestral hall!
But if others get money, of course they will repair it.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Not long after, this incident spread to the Wei family. Soon the incident began to spread. Among them, the young lady and second lady who left home a few years ago had already returned, and the young lady is now the wife of the young master of Tianbao Pavilion!
Who doesn’t know about this Tianbao Pavilion? It is famous in Yangzhou. If you can go to the first floor, you are not rich, you are not rich, and you are not necessarily able to go to the second floor. The third floor is a place that ordinary people cannot enter. I heard that there are special rooms on it, and it is decorated like a palace, which is specially prepared for this young master. Every Tianbao Pavilion has such a room.
Many people began to envy, and many people felt that they had no life. Of course, they also had suspicions. After all, these are all rumors and no one has seen them before.
"Mom, I heard that my eldest sister and my second sister are back?"
Wei Sheng asked with a smile, looking careless.
Erniang turned her face and said, "What are your sisters and sisters? Don't ask for anything close!"
As he said that, he sat on the chair angrily and said, "What do you think they are doing when they come back? They are coming back to grab this property."
Wei Sheng said: "Snatching the property of the family, the eldest sister is now the young lady of Tianbao Pavilion. Look at the first thing they did to build a tomb for their father. One tomb is a full 1,000 taels. Now, the ancestral hall is still built. It takes three thousand taels at one move. This is a big deal. How can others like our property?"
Erniang said angrily: "What's this little property? Is our property still less? Besides, one thousand taels is money, and a copper coin is not money? How do you know that they are not here to compete for property?"
Wei Sheng said: "Mom, why are you angry? Besides, this is the Wei family, and they are also the eldest and second lady of the Wei family. They already have a share of the Wei family's property, so I'll give it to them."
Erniang glared and cursed, "You bastard, you are turning your elbows outside before you grow up? That's right. A married woman is the water you poured out! Where can I say that there are married women who come back to separate the property? In other words, if you go to Rentianbao Pavilion, others will not be happy, and you may be bombarded out! You have ulterior motives and want to embezzle other people's property!"
Wei Sheng said: "But now my uncle is helping us manage the Wei family business? Isn't my mother worried that my uncle embezzled our Wei family's property?"
Ernie said, "Bao, what are you saying? How could your uncle be the same as others? He came to help us when he was not worried about the bullying of our orphans and widows. If it weren't for him, how could the Wei family have this life? Besides, where did you get the money for eating, drinking and having fun all day? It's not what your uncle helped to earn. You guys are good, and you even suspect that your uncle has come. If someone else knows this, he must think you are an ungrateful wolf!"
Seeing this, Wei Sheng knew that his mother was about to start nagging again, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I know, I know! I'm going out for a walk!"
Seeing this, Er Niang said, "You little brat, you know that you will not spend time outside and will not spend time with your wife all day!"
But before he finished speaking, Wei Sheng had already disappeared, and Er Niang could only stomp her feet in anger.
Wei Sheng went out. According to his usual days, it was time to go to his group of friends to drink, and then he walked not far away. Someone stopped him. One of them bowed and said, "Master Wei, my young master wants to invite you to have a cup of tea. I wonder if the young master can give me a face!"
Wei Sheng said strangely: "Your young master? I don't know who your young master is? Do I know you?"
The man said, "My young master's surname is Zhang, and his wife's surname is Wei."
Wei Sheng was stunned. After thinking carefully, he immediately reacted and said, "You mean?"
The man nodded slightly and said, "Young Master Wei, please!"
Wei Sheng did not hesitate, and immediately got on the carriage next to him, and then drove him away. Soon, the carriage arrived near Tianbao Pavilion. After getting off the car, Wei Sheng followed the guide to the yard in front of him. The yard in front of him looked ordinary, but after entering the yard, he was quickly taken into the house. The house was not ordinary. After entering the house, there was a secret door. After entering the secret door, he had already entered Tianbao Pavilion and was immediately led to the second floor.
Wei Sheng was also brave, neither quarreling nor making a fuss, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the famous Tianbao Pavilion has such a back door."
The guide said: "This road is only more life, and Tianbao Pavilion is just a businessman. Who knows if it will be jealous?"
Wei Sheng said: "Well, this is the truth. The things in Tianbao Pavilion are priced at a sky-high price, but real money and silver. It is not on credit, so it is normal to be missed by others!"
While he was talking, he had already arrived at the second floor and did not go up, saying, "Young Master, please go up by yourself. He has a low status and cannot go up."
Wei Sheng nodded, stepped up the stairs, and walked up. After going up, he was a little disappointed. At this moment, the room was above the stairs, and Wuyan and Wei Xi were sitting on the chairs.
His somewhat disappointed look naturally fell into his silent eyes. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "You can tell that you seem a little disappointed?"
Wei Sheng looked at it and said, "I'm a little disappointed. Everyone says that the third floor of Tianbao Pavilion is magnificent, just like the imperial palace. When I see you now, to be honest, it's just like that!"
He smiled silently, "Then have you been to the palace?"
Wei Sheng was stunned and said, "I haven't been there!"
Wuyan said, "Since you haven't been there, how do you know that this palace should be magnificent for a long time? Come on, sit down and talk first!"
Wei Sheng said: "Although I have never been there, this palace is the place where the emperor lives. Isn't it natural to be so magnificent? It can't be like the thatched hut in the countryside."
Wuyan said, "There is a saying that is good. Mountains are not high, immortals are spiritual, water is not deep, and dragons are spiritual. In this palace, no matter whether the construction inside is ordinary or ordinary, the key is to depend on who is the one who can live in. Even if it is a thatched house and the emperor is living in, it is like the Golden Palace. So I can live in this room with a comfortable living in. Besides, I can't live for long this year."
Wei Sheng tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "There is that reason, well, then what should I call you now? Brother-in-law? Or Master Zhang?"
Wei Sheng looked at Wei Xi next to him and said, "It's okay if you are happy. If you still recognize your sister, you can call me brother-in-law."
Wei Sheng said, "Acknowledge it? How can you not? I was raised by my sister, so I am half my mother. If I don't recognize her, wouldn't that be ungrateful? Yes, sister!"
Wei Xi gave him a blank look and said, "You are still a little conscience!"
Wei Sheng said: "Of course, by the way, where is the second sister?"
Wei Xi said: "Your second sister is feeling a little uncomfortable. She is resting now. I didn't call her even when you come."
Wei Sheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It's still a long time. There will always be times when we meet! By the way, sister, if you want to meet me, just be open and honest. We have to go through the back door?"
Wei Xi said: "Where are the people from this official uncle watching? If they find it, that won't work."
Wei Sheng looked at the window and saw two acquaintances. He cursed at the time: "These two killers, who actually came to stare at you? See if I don't clean up when I go back!"
Wei Xi said: "No, you can't let others, especially my uncle, knowing that you are here, otherwise, it may be bad for you!"
Seeing her cautious look, Wei Sheng said strangely: "Sister, how could your uncle be unfavorable to me, I am his nephew!"
Wei Xi snorted coldly and said, "Nephew? This nephew is not a son. You can take a good look at these things!"
As he said that, he took out a stack of papers and placed them in front of Wei Sheng. Although Wei Sheng was lazy and was playing in the world, he had been to a private school before and knew his words. Hearing this, he picked up the paper Wei Xi gave him, looked carefully, and then raised his head in surprise and said, "Sister? Isn't this possible? This uncle is also diligent in helping us manage our business on weekdays, and there is nothing unusual."
Wei Xi said: "Of course you have to work diligently. He is now managing the Zhu family's industry. How can you do if you don't work diligently? How can you hide it from you?"
As for the so-called you are Wei Sheng and Er Niang.
Wei Xi paused for a moment and said, "But even if he had transferred all the Wei family's business, I think this is a matter of course. Now the people of the Wei family, second wife, don't understand business. You don't have a good attitude all day long, and don't pay attention to your family's business. All of them are handed over to your uncle! Who has no selfish intentions? Do you think your uncle is here for why he came to the Wei family and is willing to be busy?"
Wei Sheng was stunned. Looking at the information in front of him, he didn't know what he should say! The Wei family is indeed managed by his uncle all year round, and he is still very grateful. But after reading the information, he found that all the uncle said was just to facilitate him to transfer the Wei family's property.
Seeing this, Wei Xi said, "Okay, that's it. You can know this information."
Wei Sheng was a little confused and said, "Just know these things just? Should I do nothing?"
Wei Xi asked back, "Then what are you planning to do now?"
Wei Sheng raised his head and said, "Of course, we took back the Wei family's property and handed it over to the Wei family for management. Otherwise, in a few years, wouldn't the Wei family all become the Zhu family? These industries were worked hard by my father and generations of Wei family ancestors. How could they be given to others?"
Wei Xi asked again: "Catch it back? Will you take care of it if you come back? The huge Wei family industry involves so many people, and you suddenly take it back now. Do you think my uncle will give you the business honestly? Even if you hand it over to you, then in the end you get it will be just an empty shell. What's the use of holding it? And maybe there will be a lot of trouble."
Wei Sheng's face suddenly dimmed and he said, "What should I do?"
Wei Xi said: "This matter cannot be made public, and we have to make a long-term plan. In addition, I hope you understand something. I am not here to compete with you for the property. I am not short of that little money now. I am not even interested in returning to that home. The reason I came to Yangzhou was because my husband came to Yangzhou to see this Tianbao Pavilion. If there is no problem, we will leave in ten days!"
Wei Sheng said: "Sister, I don't think you and your second sister are snatching the property. You are originally from the Wei family, so it's natural to take away your own share, right? It's my uncle who never expected me."
Wei Xi said: "You can't say this even more. The reason why I told you this is nothing more than to give you a clear mind and be careful!"
Wei Sheng said in confusion: "Be careful? I don't know what my sister is saying to be careful?"
Wei Xi said: "Be careful that my uncle is anxious to jump over the wall!"
Seeing this, Wuyan added: "As the information mentioned above, your Wei family's wealth has become your uncle's things, and there are very few things left behind. But after all, he is not surnamed Wei, so he is still somewhat restrained! Now you are the heir to the Wei family's disability industry, which makes me worry about whether he will choose to attack you."
Wei Sheng was shocked when he heard this and said, "Is this impossible? I am his nephew at least."
Wei Xi said: "This is indeed, it's not a problem. Today I'm looking for you. After you go back, you can't give any reminders, let alone give others a word of our previous conversation. Do you hear it clearly?"
Wei Sheng nodded and said, "I heard it clearly!"
Wei Xi said: "Okay, let's go down and let someone take you out. If you don't know where you are for too long, it will make people suspicious."
Wei Sheng stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "By the way, sister, when are you going to go back to live? Your room is also empty, so I can get some cleaning up when I go back!"
