Wen Wan walked up to King Zhao, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to him very respectfully, looking like she was crying with gratitude. King Zhao's face was blue and purple. King Zheng looked very cold, and the people following him felt uncomfortable looking at him.
Even King Zhou looked very displeased when he saw King Zhao: "Lao Wu, Wen Wan went to the An family to be a slave, and you said it in public, you think it is such a glorious thing, you are afraid that others don't know, right?" Don¡¯t you think that being a slave brings glory to our royal family and makes you feel very proud?¡±
After hearing what King Zhou said, King Zheng looked at Wen Wan again, his eyes flashing. Although King Zhou hated him, his words were very pertinent. If Wen Wan was intentional, then this child is indeed smart, and it is estimated that King Zhao will never talk about this matter again in the future.
King Zhao was very angry at Wen Wan's move. He didn't expect Wen Wan to do this to him. Now, whatever I do or say is wrong, and I am completely passive. However, his expression soon returned to normal, and he took off the mutton-fat jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Wen Wan, saying that he didn't know you were my niece at that time. If you knew it, such a thing would not happen.
Wen Wan happily accepted the gift and then thanked her. Showing the jade pendant to King Zheng, he looked like he had never seen anything good before. King Zhou felt that it would be shameful for him not to give a gift. He looked at himself and saw that he was not wearing any jewelry. He gritted his teeth and took out a round, egg-sized bead from his sleeve, which was very beautiful.
Wen Wan looked at it and quickly shook her head and waved her hands to express no need. King Zhou was unhappy now, "You accept what Lao Wu gave me, but you don't accept what I gave you. No matter what, you don't like what I gave you. You still think I'm not worthy of being your uncle."
After hearing this, Wen Wan still refused. Seeing that King Zhou's face was getting more and more ugly. After a few busy strokes, he also wrote a line of words on King Zheng's hand.
"Brother Three Emperors, Wan'er said that she would not accept this thing. She would not feel at ease if she accepted it. How could she, a niece, take something that is dear to her uncle's heart? If you are willing, give her a good copybook later. Her calligraphy is not good, and she is looking for a good copybook to practice her calligraphy. Brother Sanhuang, Wan'er prefers copybooks to gifts, so it's natural to give them what you want. Right?" King Zheng explained on the side. Wen Wan nodded quickly.
"Okay, since you said so, I will ask someone to give you a good copybook tomorrow. You can keep it to your satisfaction, my niece." King Zhou smiled broadly. He had spent a lot of effort to get this luminous pearl, and he kept it with him all the time. I can't bear to leave even half a step, but I really want to give it to Wen Wan. I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight. By saying this, he gained face without losing it. This niece has eyes. No wonder my father likes her! He kind of liked it too. Look at that annoying old boy. He also felt that it was not so difficult for him to accept.
King Zhao looked at King Zhou's attitude and glanced at Wen Wan with an evil look. I was wondering in my heart whether this child was really so innocent or kind, or whether he had some calculations in his heart. It's okay to say that he is pure and kind, but it would be terrible if he had such a deep scheming mind at such a young age.
Impossible, absolutely impossible to be truly pure and kind. If you can suppress yourself over and over again, you will definitely not be a kind person.
"Okay, it's very late, we have to go back." King Zhou led the people away. King Zhao also followed him. Wen Wan continued shopping happily.
"Wan'er, weren't you really angry just now?" she asked with some affection.
Wen Wan shook her head. smiled. I am really not angry because what he said is the truth. If it hadn't been him. He must have been beaten to death. No matter what the reason was, it was him who saved him. That's right. It's impossible not to be angry. However, the situation is stronger than the people. In this case, can he deny it, or say that he didn't want to save him? It is estimated that if this word spreads, no one will want to see her anymore.
Having studied etiquette for so long, I know that if you want to be grateful, at the very least, you have to kowtow. Compared to others who kneel and kowtow at every turn, she is much better. Besides, King Zhao is also her elder, so kowtowing to Uncle Zhao King doesn't have much psychological burden, just treat him as a birthday greeting.
King Zheng looked at her with a normal expression, and his eyes were even more profound. This child has a truly pure and kind heart. The two of them went shopping until it was very late and there was no one in the market, so they went back.
"Want to sleep with uncle tonight?" Wen Wan nodded happily after hearing this.
"Wan'er, what do you plan to do with An's family?" King Zheng asked the sleepy Wen Wan.
The gentle sleepiness disappeared immediately, knowing that King Zheng had something to say. King Zheng touched Wen Wan's little head, "Wen Wan, An's cannot move for the time being. In any case, she is your concubine. If you take revenge on her now and let her die, it will be extremely detrimental to your reputation. Uncle back then He just didn't listen to anyone's advice and took revenge.?The people who harmed me before. But because of this, my uncle suffered a big loss in this regard. Wen Wan must not follow his uncle's old path. "
Wen Wan looked at him doubtfully, but King Zheng said nothing about him again. Just ask Wen Wan not to go against Anshi directly. With Ping Xiangxi supporting that woman, she would be criticized as unfilial. Not only will she be discussed by others, but she will not be able to find a good in-law in the future. They will even encounter the disdain of the emperor's grandfather. The Daqi Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. No matter how much the Taira people went too far, those people were her elders and could not disobey, let alone take revenge.
King Zheng felt a little uncomfortable looking at Wen Wan's expressionless face. "Wen Wan, uncle is doing this for your own good. A bad reputation can ruin a person. My uncle was so bad because he had no scruples and acted arbitrarily." The reputation you have made makes your grandpa dislike me. As for the injustice you have suffered, my uncle will help you get it back now. "
Wenwan waved her hand and said, "Uncle, those people are strangers to me. I will not retaliate against them. I just want to live my own little life well."
Wen Wan thought for a moment and wrote carefully, "Uncle, I want to know. Why is the Taira family so chaotic?"
In the palace, when King Zheng coughed, the servants next to him trembled. Even the prince's cousin has to be careful. In the Ping family, Ping Guogong's words seemed to be of no use. Although the man doesn't care about the inner house, he is still too arrogant.
King Zheng has a keen sense of gentleness. I admire very much "Back then, when the old Duke chose his children, he chose today's Duke, who is the nerdiest among all his nephews. The reason for choosing him, although the current Duke's wife is also part of fate. But the most important thing is, let Having a stupid and cowardly person as the Duke can reassure your grandfather, Wen Wan, there are many things involved in the court, and you won't understand it. However, you are now a noble county given by your father. Lord, I have the golden whip in hand. The people of the Ping family don¡¯t dare to do anything to you.¡±
Wen Wan nodded in understanding.
Prince Zheng looked at Wen Wan and touched her little head: "Don't worry, I have got the news that the Duke is willing to give up the title. The Crown Prince's wife is a shrewd person. She will not offend you. She will only make good friends with you. People from the Taira family don¡¯t dare to be so arrogant, let alone bully you.¡±
The two had a conversation, and King Zheng told Wen Wan what to avoid. Don't worry about anything, don't make any mistakes, and take the big losses you have suffered without anyone teaching you as a lesson. I told her everything one by one. Wen Wan listened and nodded.
?Maybe I¡¯m really tired. He said nothing, paused for a while and fell asleep gently. King Zheng looked at her sleeping face with a smile on her face and thought about it for a long time, and finally fell asleep.
Wen Wan actually didn't really fall asleep, her mind was very clear at this time. Her uncle's words sounded the alarm for her. She needs to know the rules of this society as soon as possible so as not to make mistakes that she shouldn't make. As for the Taira family, she ignored them. An, she won't do anything now. But as soon as the time comes. Never let it go.
When saying goodbye the next day, Wen Wan originally wanted to send her to the suburbs, but King Zheng refused to let her go. Let her be sent to the gate of the palace. Wen Wan clung to Prince Zheng tightly. Wen Wan was very sad, those tears. It¡¯s like you don¡¯t need money. If it hadn't been impossible, King Zheng would have wanted to pack her up and take her away. Wen Wan refused to let go. In the end, she had no choice but to be hugged by Qi Yan, which allowed King Zheng to escape. King Zheng left with Wen Wan's tears all over his body.
Wen Wan went home with her eyes swollen and red. Of the last 60,000 taels, 30,000 taels were given to Butler Lin to buy a field and a house. Regardless of the future of the land, it must have mountains, water, and good woods. The house should be built in a safe and clean place. There is still 30,000, which must be used as investment expenses.
As for the fiefdom, Wen Wan has already agreed with King Zheng that the future of the fiefdom will be managed first, and no money will be sent for the time being, otherwise those people will come to fight famine after seeing how rich they are. With the money in hand, plus the salary given by the court! It was enough for her to live a good life.
When I returned to Pingfu, I brought back a cart full of things. There are pens, paper, inkstones, various cutting papers, sachets, scented beads, pollen, rouge, clay figurines, masks, lanterns and other supplies; candied haws, rolled candies, clay cakes and other snacks.
After returning home, let people divide them up and send them to the brothers and sisters. Because they are all small gadgets and a lot of snacks, they are naturally intended for children. Children in ancient times rarely went out, especially girls, who liked it very much. Even Qingshan threw things away when she first got them, but she still couldn't help but pick them up. I couldn't put it down after watching it.
"My sister is actually not that cruel," Shang Qi said with some sigh as he took the pen and paper given by Wen Wan. I don¡¯t know why, but my mother always says bad things about Wen Wan. He doesn't look like a bad boy. And if he doesn't find trouble with her, she has never found trouble here.
The eldest lady watched her son play?The ghost mask looked very happy, calling his son next to him, "Shang Wei, I need to get closer to your cousin in the future. Also, when you get a gift from her, you can't just get in and out." Lord." Shang Wei nodded, indicating that he understood. After that, Shang Wei was the only one who had a good relationship with Wen Wan.
Wenwan returned to Hengfang Pavilion and entered the bedroom. Let everyone go out, and there are only three people left in the house. Wen Wan, Xia Yu, Gu Nanny. When Grandma Gu saw this posture, she knew she had to express her position. In fact, there was no choice for her at all. She was a gentle palace maid given by the emperor. Even if she had a rank, she was just a palace maid. Naturally, he expressed his determination to Wen Wan. He said that from now on, he would obey the princess in everything and never dare to act arbitrarily again.
Xia Yu made a few strokes of Wen Wan's strokes, her eyes widened, and then, with some hesitation, under Wen Wan's sharp eyes, she said what Wen Wan meant.
Wen Wan told Grandma Gu: "The princess said that you don't need to listen to her on everything. What was done before will be what it will be in the future. It's just that you just obey what she decides. In this yard, everything big and small matters , it¡¯s still up to you, Princess, as long as she has a peaceful life.¡±
Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wen Wan in fear. When she said this, it meant that she wanted to give people in Ping Mansion, or rather give everyone an illusion. Everything in Hengfang Pavilion, including Wen Wan herself, is under her control. Wen Wan, she has already been controlled by herself. The princess, her master, wanted to use her as a souvenir to ward off the entanglements between Ping Mansion and outsiders.
Her master is so shrewd that it¡¯s scary. This time, I really failed. When the candidates were selected, I volunteered myself. Thinking about Princess Fuhui being a soft person, how smart her daughter could be. As long as she protects him and acts loyal, the little princess will not have to listen to her in everything.
But the fact is that from now on, everything in Hengfang Pavilion must be obeyed by her. The essence is that she blocked trouble and offended people, and the princess was free and at ease. She gained face, princess, and dignity. Now, even if you want to go back, it is impossible. I had to accept my fate.
Wenwan faced Xia Yu, and Xia Yu quickly knelt down and said, she would never say a random word. Wen Wan nodded, expressing satisfaction. After that, everything is business as usual.
"Xia Ying, go and get me two books on the laws of Daqi." Wen Wan thought, if you want to understand the rules of a country, you can just read the laws.
After Xia Ying bought Daqi Laws, Wen Wan hugged Daqi Laws every day. Seeing the rules and regulations of the law, he asked Xia Ying again without understanding. The more he looked at it, the more unwilling he became. If a father kills his son, he will be punished by twenty; if he kills his father, he will be executed by prison. Unkind parents will be criticized, and unfilial children will ruin their future. If parents accuse their children of being disobedient and unfilial, their children will have no future at all. You have to harm the children. Men can sneak around outside, but women will have to drown themselves in a pig cage if Hongxing cheats. Wen Wan felt very upset in her heart. There were so many injustices that could not be explained in just a few sentences.
Wenwan looked more carefully, so be careful in the future.
"Princess, you don't need to worry. This is just a law that applies to civilians." Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan's colorful colors and couldn't help but speak.
Wen Wan naturally knows that she is in the privileged class now, and no one dares to hurt her at will. Of course, this is not the case in the dark. However, Wen Wan still feels cold in her heart regarding the unfairness of this society. There are just too many rules here. Moreover, it is especially unfair to women. (To be continued)
