"Princess, someone from Prince Zhou's Mansion brought something over. It was said to be a gift from Prince Zhou to the princess." After hearing this, Wen Wan went out happily. After receiving the gift and opening it, I was stunned. This is too scary! I was overly surprised. I just wanted a famous calligraphy book to copy and practice my calligraphy. Uncle Zhou Wang¡¯s handwriting was too big.
Two copybooks, one is the running script of Wang Xizhi, known as the "Sage of Calligraphy" in calligraphy, and "Lanting Preface", although it is a rubbing, it is also extremely valuable. In modern times, even rubbings cannot be found, and it has become extinct. Even now, it is estimated that I couldn't find a few rubbings. The other one is "Yan Style" regular script written by Yan Zhenqing, a master of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, "Liu Zhongshi Tie", which is authentic.
Xia Yu saw Wen Wan standing there as if she was dumbfounded, and hurriedly gave Wen Wan a push to bring the sluggish Wen Wan back to her senses. To the people in Zhou's mansion who looked uneasy, he explained that he was overly surprised.
Hearing what Wen Wan said, the few people who came breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid of offending the princess who was favored by the emperor, so now even their prince was sending gifts. Who in the capital doesn't know that the King of Zhou walks sideways. Except for those elders and necessary entertainment, he has never taken the initiative to give gifts to anyone. This time he gave a gift to Wen Wan, which was surprising.
"The princess said that she will pay her a visit in person in two days. Thank you very much, Uncle Zhou." Xia Yu explained beside him. Each person was rewarded with two taels of silver and sent them out.
Wen Wan held these two copybooks as if they were treasures. Xia Yu smiled and joked, saying that Wen Wan used to be in a daze when seeing gold, but now she is in a daze when seeing books.
Wen Wan said that these two books cannot be bought with a thousand taels of silver. Xia Yu was shocked. After asking about it, I was shocked. So in the future, she didn't dare to let the little maid clean the study. She would clean it herself, just for fear of bumping into any precious books.
Duke Ping heard that the King of Zhou gave Wen Wan a gift, and asked in disbelief: "You are right, it was the King of Zhou who gave Wen Wan a gift?" How is this possible? Now, the sun is coming out in the west. Prince Zhou has always been filial to others, so how can he give things to others? This is really the first time. How did Wen Wan end up with Prince Zhou? This kid's methods are really amazing. He really underestimated this child.
The chief steward said respectfully, "It's absolutely true. Those servants are wearing the clothes of servants of Prince Zhou's palace. No one would do such a thing in broad daylight."
Duke Ping asked what he was sending. Since it can be delivered with such a big fanfare, it must be a good thing.
"It seems to be a book. I can't find out what the specific book is. The whole Hengfang Pavilion is disciplined like an iron bucket by Grandma Gu. The people who are close to the princess are all from the palace and the palace. The closest thing is Zi Ling, who was given to the princess by the old lady. She is now a second-class maid, but she can't enter the inner room, so we have to get some news from the outside. Said in annoyance.
If this is not the case, the princess will donate all the money to the clan. He didn't get any news from his side, which caught him and others off guard.
"This granddaughter of mine is not a simple person! It would be great if she were a grandson." Duke Ping said with emotion. No matter how smart his granddaughter is, she still lives in someone else's family. But if it were Sun Tzu, there would be hope for Ping Mansion to be revitalized. Look at these sons today. Not only are none of them useful. Even among the grandchildren, no one can take the lead.
After the news spread, gifts were sent to the palaces of the capital and other royal family members. In the gentle warehouse. That's really a pile of stuff.
?Those who sent gifts here include Prince Ning¡¯s Mansion, the Luo Family of the Zhenguogong Mansion, the Su Family of Prime Minister Su, the Bai Family of Shenjian Hou Mansion, the Xu Family of Shanhou, the Song Family of the Minister of Rites, and the Tong Family of the Minister¡¯s Mansion. The wind direction suddenly changed. Later, there were some important civil and military ministers who had meritorious service. Then officials, big and small, also began to congratulate him with gifts, saying they expressed their sincere feelings.
Wen Wan was granted the title of Princess Princess that day, and she originally wanted to invite someone. But the Duke's mansion was in chaos, and no one was really celebrating. It was dragged down. This time, the gift was completed. At first, she went to see her gently, but later, she didn't even see her at all.
"Princess, Mrs. Anlehou wants to see the princess." Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu wanted to stop Wen Wan, shook her head, and let her dress up.
After finishing dressing up, Grandma Gu and Mama Gu both felt that the clothes were too shabby and they should wear something more luxurious. She wore too little jewelry, especially the silver bracelets on her hands, which looked a bit poor. Wen Wan shook his head, like this, he was already very wealthy. The more you wear it, the better it will be.
Ping¡¯s mother, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. An accompanied Mrs. Anlehou, and the adults chatted one thing or the other. At this time, Mrs. Anlehou brought the two girls below, Miss Eleven and Miss Twelve, who were only older than Wen Wan. The group of people couldn't wait for a long time, and the two little girls?Some anxiety. While waiting, a group of people walked in outside.
Among them, there are 100 million, combing the three girls of the children now, and insert a bead flower inlaid with diamonds at will. A pair of rice-sized gemstone earrings hang from her ears. Wearing a silver-red background with white magnolia flowers, a narrow-sleeved gown with colorful flowers. There was a gold collar hanging around his neck, inlaid with three round rubies, and two silver bracelets on his left hand.
Diamonds are very rare in this world, and the diamond-encrusted bead flowers worn by Wen Wandai are exquisite in workmanship and exquisite in style, making them rare fine products. Three rubies of the same size are also rare and exquisite.
Not to mention the maids and mothers, Ping's mother, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Anle, and Mrs. An all looked straight. They had never seen people like them before, but these two things about the people in front of them dazzled the three of them. And you can't see anything wrong with it. There is no feeling of showing off at all, it seems to be a very ordinary dress.
As soon as Wen Wan entered the room, she saluted Ping's mother and the eldest lady, and nodded to Madam Anlehou. Aunt Gu led her to sit in the first place on the left. Mrs. An frowned unconsciously. An's face looked very ugly, but she still forced a smile.
"I came today mainly to apologize to the princess. I offended you a lot before. However, thanks to the princess's bodhisattva heart, most of them don't care about us." Mrs. Anlehou stood up after saying that and went on her way again. An apology.
Sit there Wenwan. After receiving the gift, he waved his hand. Ping's mother and Mrs. Xu were very surprised. They thought Wen Wan should at least block it, but they didn't expect that she would accept Mrs. Anle's gift so calmly.
After a few gentle strokes, Xia Yu continued, "The princess said, those are all misunderstandings, so don't take it to heart. Let her go in the past. The tiger still has a chance to take a nap and have his butt touched. The princess said, since She didn't care at first and wouldn't worry about it anymore if there was nothing else. "
He bowed to Ping's mother and the eldest lady, and returned to Hengfang Pavilion proudly. Everyone watched Wen Wan go out like a peacock.
"Mom, the princess is too ignorant of etiquette. Although she is your princess, but she accepted Mrs. An's gift so carelessly, Mrs. An is also a first-class royal wife." The eldest grandma shook her head. I feel that Wen Wan is a bit ignorant of the heights of the world.
"Mrs. Yipingaoming? The princess is the king, and she is a minister. The An family owes Wenwan. It is good not to express anger, and accepting a courtesy is not an exaggeration. Now that Wenwan's title belongs to her, Mrs. An's Yipingaoming wife, if Anle Hou is gone. Hers is gone too. You don't know what's more important. Wen Wan is not a short-sighted person. Who would have thought of her when she returned to Ping Mansion. With such a good fortune, if they knew it, would those people in the house still dare to make trouble?" the eldest lady sighed.
"Mom, those women are indeed hateful." The eldest grandmother was also annoyed by those tricky servants. Relying on the support of the old lady, he relies on his old age from time to time.
"This is a problem that has been accumulated by the family for hundreds of years. There is nothing we can do. We can only suppress it. Well, I really don't know what the old lady thinks. The older I get, the more" The younger generation cannot talk about the faults of the elders. This can only be done. .
"Mom, I've shown my kindness several times. The princess is always lukewarm." The eldest grandma said this. It's a bit frustrating. In the mansion, she suffered from muteness several times due to Wen Wan. She wanted to make friends. But people ignored her. Is there any way?
"There's no need to do anything deliberately. After going through so many things, the child is already distracted from the Heng family. The Heng family is just a temporary place for her. You just need to take good care of everything for her, take care of her food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and As long as she gets along well," the eldest lady said with a smile.
"Mom, aren't we going to divide the titles between families? It's only a few days away." The eldest grandma wondered.
The eldest lady shook her head, "Wen Wan will not live with the fifth room. The Duke and the Master will not let Wen Wan move out. Otherwise, there will be more right and wrong."
As for Wen Wan, she wants to burn incense to pay homage to the princess. The Duke thought for a long time and finally discussed it with the prince. I think it¡¯s better to agree. Wen Wan was told that she had been approved to return to her hometown to offer incense. The Heing family's hometown was actually Tianjin now. The journey is not far, it takes about two days by horse-drawn carriage. At the same time, the Duke of Guo also agreed to Wen Wan's previous request and allowed Nanny Huang to be buried next to the princess' mother's tomb. Someone has been sent to get the coffin ready.
The Duke of Guo sent sixty guards to escort Wen Wan back to her hometown. Wenwan always stayed at inns on the road. There is no chance for you to be a good person in the inn, as for any luck. Wenwan is still a pink and tender little girl, and is not attracted to handsome guys. Within the scheduled time limit, it took two and a half days to reach my hometown.
The house in my hometown is very big, and there are some old servants living there. There are also a few cousins ??in the next room taking care of things. At this moment, the person who greets Wen Wan is a man named Shang?'s cousin.
"We sincerely welcome the princess back to the mansion. Good luck to the princess." All the people from my hometown came out to greet her.
Wen Wan came out of the carriage, wearing white clothes made of fine cloth, with a small bun, a silver hairpin in her hair, and only a silver bracelet on her hand. Everyone looked at her carefully and came to the conclusion that she was a very innocent, cute and childish lady.
Wen Wan nodded and was led into the prepared room. When I went in, I saw that the decoration was quite good. Because I had received the news early and was here to worship my mother, the room was relatively simple and elegant. Wen Wan was still very satisfied after seeing it.
After preparations were made that day, the next day, Wen Wan took a group of people to visit the grave of her princess. Looking at the tombs, they are all carved with fine marble. The tomb is also clean, without any dust. The surrounding area is also completely new, there is not a single weed. Wen Wan understood clearly that she must have gotten the news and cleaned it carefully before she came.
Next to the grand tomb, there is a tomb bag, and the soil is new. It was Aunt Huang who was buried the day before. The reason Wen Wan made such a request was because Nanny Huang later said that she hoped she could enter her family's ancestral grave. But the Huang family is gone, and her hometown is in the northwest. Wen Wan sent someone to ask, but the people there didn't answer. People in ancient times said that fallen leaves will follow them. If this is the case, let her be buried next to her mother. It can be considered as half of her wish was granted.
Wen Wan did not need the help of the maid next to her. She put the sacrifices on the plate one by one and lit the incense candles. After finishing, Wen Wan went forward and kowtowed three times. After kowtowing, Wen Wan did not get up. She still knelt in front of the tomb, looking at At the tomb, I thought about my parents in my previous life, and then I thought about this princess I had never met before, and I felt why I was so unconnected to my parents! If my parents were here, I wouldn't have to live so hard, and I wouldn't die early. If I have a mother in this life, can I be happy and live a happy life without any worries? As I thought about it, tears fell from my eyes.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? also knelt down behind me and burst into tears.
"Princess, the princess will definitely be very pleased to know your filial piety. If you are so sad now, the princess will feel very uncomfortable if she knows about it. Princess, get up." Mother Gu On the side, holding back tears, he comforted her nicely. Only then did Wen Wan get up, walk to Nanny Huang's small grave, place the sacrifices, and bow deeply three times.
Facing the small grave bag, Wen Wan said in her heart: Mommy. Don't worry, Wenwan will live well in the future. I hope you can live well underground. If reincarnation really happens, go to modern times. Life there will be hundreds of times better than this era.
After bowing tenderly three times, those who followed knelt down and kowtowed three times. It's not that Wen Wan doesn't want to kowtow to the mama, it's just that in this society, the master is not allowed to kowtow to the slave. Even those who have passed it are not allowed. Wen Wan didn't want her behavior to be criticized by others after she passed away. Whether she kowtows or not depends on her heart. As long as you take care of Aunt Huang, you don't need to pay too much attention to other formalisms.
Wenwan stayed in her hometown for three days and went to the cemetery every day. Before going back, I gave a piece of silver to the old man guarding the tomb. Let him take good care of the princess's grave and the grave of Nanny Huang. (To be continued)
