Chapter 139 Ask Your Mother to Stay
However, Wei Zhongxian didn't wait for Wang An's answer. He turned around and saw Wang An rushing out of the room with his mouth covered and vomiting with a "yue" sound.
Wei Zhongxian just curled his lips and did not feel angry or anything like that. He just felt that young people nowadays were really unaware of things.
Wang An vomited for a quarter of an hour before wiping his mouth and returning to the room. The first time he saw Wei Zhongxian, Wang An screamed in his heart: Wei Yan, I will never forgive you!
Seeing Wang An's bad face, Wei Zhongxian pointed at the secret compartment and said, "We want to make a deal with Brother An."
"As long as An Ge'er keeps this treasure for our family, the remaining treasures will all belong to An Ge'er. What do you think?"
Wang An looked at the secret compartment, then at the closed wooden box in Wei Zhongxian's hand, and the urge to vomit came up again.
Fortunately, Wang An had great endurance, and he really had nothing left to vomit, so he held it in. He said with a dead heart, "Such a little thing..."
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's unfriendly expression, Wang An quickly changed his words and said, "Why not let the eunuch carry this precious baby with him? Why...separate the flesh and blood?"
Wei Zhongxian sighed and said, "We would like to keep it with us, but it's not a big thing after all. What if we accidentally lose it?"
"I used to feel uneasy when he lived in this house because I couldn't look after him all the time, let alone taking him on a long journey. We think An Ge'er is a trustworthy and good man. If you can look after him, we will feel relieved."
Although Wang An felt disgusted, he could understand Wei Zhongxian's thoughts.
After all, no matter which dynasty the eunuchs were from, they all took the root of their troubles very seriously.
They believed that if the root of their worries could not be buried with them when they died, their bodies would be incomplete. Not only would it be difficult for the King of Hell to be reborn somewhere else, but even if they were reborn, they would most likely not be able to be men in the next life. This was undoubtedly unacceptable to eunuchs who had been eunuchs their entire lives.
However, even though he understood it, Wang An felt a chill when he thought about the thing being placed under the bed and sleeping on it every day.
Wang An wanted to reject Wei Zhongxian, but he couldn't bear to give up the other real treasures in the secret compartment.
After struggling for a long time, Wang An hardened his heart and said, "Since you think highly of me, what else can I say? Of course I will do my best to help you take care of the baby!"
After he finished speaking, Wang An's eyes turned red and he almost cried because of the grievance he felt.
While comforting myself, a real man who wants to achieve great things should not be fussy about trivial matters.
Although he seems to have some wealth to outsiders, he is the only one who knows that the two coal mines belong to his cousin, and he only owns a small portion of the coal warehouse.
Although Chongzhen never asked for dividends from him, even the contract for the coal mine was written in his name.
But as a human being, you must be trustworthy. Even if you want to cheat others, you cannot cheat your own flesh and blood, right?
So strictly speaking, Wang An was only barely well-off and did not have much money to spend.
But as a member of the Time Travel Party, how could Wang An "stay under someone else's control for a long time"?
Of course, you have to make a career with your own strength.
Then, these treasures of Wei Zhongxian were very important to Wang An.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian reached out and patted Wang An's shoulder solemnly, saying, "We know that Brother An is trustworthy!"
As he said this, he solemnly handed the wooden box containing the "treasure" to Wang An with both hands.
Wang An stared at the wooden box with trembling lips and red eyes. After a long time, he reached out to take it and said with a choked voice: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, you can go with peace of mind!"
Not long after, Wei Zhongxian left with satisfaction.
Wang An put the wooden box back into the secret compartment. It was not that he did not want to put the wooden box somewhere else, but Wei Zhongxian firmly disagreed. He said that he had asked a master of mechanical engineering to design this secret compartment, and ordinary people would never have thought that Wei Zhongxian's treasure would be hidden in this place.
Even if others thought of it, they would definitely not be able to see it.
Wang An had no choice but to respect the opinion of the financial sponsor.
However, before putting the wooden box back, Wang An took out all the other treasures. This at least prevented Wang An from having any contact with the wooden box when he took the treasures.
After seeing Wei Zhongxian off, Wang An hurriedly called Xiaowu and Xiaoliu and asked them to move all their belongings to the east wing.
Wang An never wanted to live in the north wing of the main house again in his life.
But when Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were busy, Yun Zhao, who came to call Wang An for dinner, was quite surprised and asked, "Master, why do you want to move to the east wing instead of living in the main house?"
The three-courtyard house that Wang An bought has two courtyards, front and back. Except for the north wing which has only one room, the east and west wing rooms each have two rooms.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were maids and usually lived in the back room, which was next to the street door so that it was convenient for them to open the door for their masters.
According to their status, Yun Zhao and Yun Shi should have lived in the back house like Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.
However, Wang An saw that there were too many rooms, so he let them live in the west wing in the front yard.
Wang An waved his hands, tears streaming down his face as he tried to speak.
Seeing Wang An acting strangely, Yun Zhao stopped asking questions and said with some regret, "It's just that this main room is the most spacious and magnificent in the whole courtyard. It's a pity to leave it empty."
Wang An sniffed and said, "That's true. Then let your mother move to the main room to avoid leaving it empty and wasting it."
Wang An thought that he had accepted so many treasures from Wei Zhongxian after all, and he promised to take good care of the "big treasure" for him.
It would be inappropriate if a thief broke in after I moved out and no one knew about it.
In this case, it would be better to let Yun move in, sleep on the big treasure every day and look after it for Wei Zhongxian. This would be worthy of the compensation he gave her.
However, Yun Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "How can this be possible! Master, you are going to embarrass my mother!"
In ancient times, the north was also called the main house.
No matter how big the yard is or how many rooms there are, there is always only one main house.
Only the head of the family can live there, so the head of the family's direct lineage is called the principal wife or the eldest wife.
Yun Zhao was just Wang An's sold slave, and Yun Shi was the one Wang An brought back to take care of because he appreciated her so much. He even let them live in the west wing in the front yard. In this era, no one would believe it if you told others about it.
If other maids and servants heard it, they would probably laugh at Yun Zhao for bragging.
But now, Wang An actually asked Yun to move into the main house!
This is no longer a simple housing issue, it is a direct encroachment!
Any servant who dares to secretly sleep in the master's main room will be beaten to death without complaint!
However, Wang An, who came later, did not pay so much attention to it.
