"My lord, why did you give me to the princess? Is there something I didn't do enough?" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said with some anxiety.
"Zhiheng, it's not that you didn't do a good enough job. Your father and I are as close as brothers. If it hadn't been for what happened back then, you would have been the young master of the family. There is no future in staying in the Duke's Mansion. You might as well have followed Wen Wan. If Prince Zheng ascends the throne in the future, Wen Wan will definitely be a powerful and noble person. Even if Prince Zheng does not ascend the throne, she will be indispensable for her lifelong prosperity. You will not suffer hardships from following her in the future. It may come in handy for housekeeping and other matters." The Duke's mood waned. By this time, it was too late to have a good relationship with Wen Wan again.
"Old Duke, you" The man named Zhiheng was at a loss.
"I plan to go to my hometown in the countryside after the Chinese New Year. I'm old and it's time to take a good rest." The old man actually felt that he couldn't stay in this home anymore.
Wenwan doesn¡¯t go out often now. The main duties of the coachman and the guards are to inquire about information outside. Of course, because she came from the palace, and Prince Zheng loves Wenwan, Wenwan can still enjoy the news from Prince Zheng's palace.
"It turns out that she is not interested in drinking, that's what she thought." The old man smiled bitterly.
The Duke of Guo said that it was normal for her to know the news outside, and she would have more and more social activities in the future. If you don't know anything about everyone, you'll make a fool of yourself. Wen Wan is so smart, there is no way she wouldn't have thought of this.
¡°In fact, the old man really wronged Wen Wan. I really couldn't shirk what happened next, so I thought I needed outside news. That¡¯s what I thought about.
The guard sent from the mansion is the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes from before. After hearing the news, Wen Wan curled her lips, not knowing whether the Duke of Guo did it on purpose. She whipped this guy that day, and she didn't know if she would feel resentful.
Wait until this matter is settled. It¡¯s already September. The old man was afraid that the old lady would be up to something evil again, so he sternly warned the old lady not to interfere in the affairs of the mansion again. Otherwise, take her to the countryside with you. After hearing this, the old lady was angry and unwilling. But Wenwan is not something she can control now.
The old lady always gets angry when she looks at Wen Wan, and she is so idle in the mansion. It will not be possible to continue like this. Let Wen Wan study with several sisters at home. The few masters hired were all supported by the Taira family.
Wen Wan wants to see the learning process of ancient ladies. After hearing this, he agreed. He said he wanted to see something.
The boudoir school is located in a three-entry courtyard called Xianghaiyuan. Wen Wan didn't know the meaning of this name at first. After a long trip, we passed the tea and rice shelf, then entered the wood incense shed, passed the peony pavilion, and visited the peony garden. Entering the Rose Garden, exiting Basho Tungsten, it is winding and twisting. It took a long detour to get there. Finally I know why it is called Xianghaiyuan. But the fragrance of flowers is as elegant as the ocean.
When Wen Wan first came here, she took piano lessons. The piano teacher, who was in his mid-twenties, asked Qing Shui, Qing Ci, and Qing Hao to play a piece of music assigned to them.
¡°Open, open¡dong, dong¡¡± Wen Wan¡¯s ears buzzed. Take the prepared cotton. Plug your ears. After waiting for nearly half an hour, I took it off.
"Ten sisters. What did you put in your ears just now?" Qingshan walked up and wanted to take something from Wen Wan, but Xia Ying blocked her. With a look full of warning, if she really dared to move, she would show no mercy. Wen Wan also revealed her golden whip, which happened to be unopened yet!
Qingshan was so frightened that she stepped back. After being beaten by Wen Wan last time, she saw Wen Wan's cruelty and was punished by the Duke again. Later, I heard that the maid next to Wen Wan killed a Taira guard. She no longer dared to use violence to solve problems.
"Princess, let's learn from the fingering method first." The teacher taught with all his heart.
Wen Wan also started playing with a bang. Not to mention others, my own ears also suffered from the noise. Not only that. The fingers are still red and swollen. Learned halfway and gave up. He stormed back angrily. The husband and several sisters looked on with envy and contempt.
The gentleman didn¡¯t say a word.
The old lady got the news, but she didn¡¯t say anything. To Wen Wan, it doesn't matter whether she learns to play the piano or not. At the beginning, she didn't want to let the conversation slip and let others think that she favored one thing over another. Besides, if he makes trouble for her, he won't always make himself angry.
"Princess, even if you don't like it, you should learn it. It will still be good for you in the future. But you must not let others say you are rough. This will be very bad for your reputation." Grandma Gu persuaded.
Reputation, reputation can be a meal. However, it is not a good idea to have such a reputation as a rough and rude person, even in the modern upper class society. Wen Wan thought about it and agreed to attend the class on time.
It¡¯s chess in the afternoon, and Wen Wan is in high spirits. ButThe teacher just said some useless things. Wen Wan expressed that he wanted to fight with her, so the teacher gave Wen Wan a look. Qingshui was called, and the two played a game. Wen Wan looked at it for less than a quarter of an hour, feeling a little disappointed. Waiting for the teacher to teach me again, I will just sleep there.
Wenwan went to calligraphy once, but the gentleman was not very good. Calligraphy requires practice. She is practicing now. If you want to learn another font, if you mix them up, you won¡¯t learn anything.
Painting, Wen Wan listened carefully to this class. Ancient paintings are indeed an incredible achievement in China. Wenwan learned it very humbly. As for poetry and so on, forget it, let¡¯s not waste time. Don't doze off there. After taking a closer look, Wen Wan became somewhat interested in painting. The old lady was surprised when she got the news. She didn't expect that something really caught her eye.
Wen Wan likes ink painting very much, which is also commonly known as landscape painting. Because there were not as many pigments in ancient times as there are today, they paid more attention to skills and spiritual breakthroughs. Unlike modern times, many painters always want to use color to highlight the characteristics of the painting. That is already obscene.
Landscape painting is mainly based on the six theories of "qi, rhyme, thought, scenery, brushwork, and ink". There is also the natural theory of "explaining the depth of objects and images" and "searching for wonderful things to create reality"; there are also "muscles, flesh, bones, The theory of the four potentials of "strength"; also the theory of the four qualities of "spirit, wonder, wonder, and skill". Generally speaking, it can be summarized as follows: good temperament, complete six essentials, no two diseases, complete four seasons, and the wonder of immortality.
Wen Wan was very fascinated by Mr. Wen Wan¡¯s mellow voice. But I like it anyway, people really have no talent. Painting and painting. I don¡¯t know where the painting went. Even Qingshui's painting teacher said that he has an ethereal air and his gentle paintings are too mature. Criticism is so gentle that I lose my confidence. Simply don't follow the teacher's theory. After all, I had received a few years of basic Chinese painting in my previous life, so I simply used modern abstract painting methods. Of course, sir¡¯s comments are out of context.
Wen Wan was shouting there very proudly. If you can¡¯t understand it, it¡¯s because you have no skills. The teacher who taught him shook his head and said nothing. In her eyes, Wen Wan is that kind of stubborn student. However, given his gentle identity, the gentleman did not dare to be too harsh.
Wenwan herself was bored when she studied in the yard. Sometimes it feels too quiet. Therefore, I occasionally attend the piano, chess, painting, poetry, and poetry classes in my home school. Even if I doze off there, they are still popular. It's so boring to be alone in Hengfang Pavilion, isn't it? As for the other four courses, I won¡¯t take them.
???????????????????????????????? Someone came back. Her surname is Zhao, and everyone calls her Zhao Xiu Niang. There was something going on at home a few days ago, so I will be back now.
"Embroidery. The first thing is to be patient, and don't be afraid of hardship." Zhaoxiu Niang is very gentle to Wen Wan. I asked several girls to embroider, but I guided them one by one with Wen Wan.
"Mom Zhao, don't worry. My sister studied at my grandfather's house for two months. The embroiderer she followed was the best in my grandfather's family, so don't worry." Qingshan said proudly. Finished. Realizing that many people were staring at her, she quickly shut up.
"Hiss" Yes, I got another needle. But the embroiderer was very patient and not worried. Wen Wan slowly calmed down. At first she didn't want to learn anymore, but later she heard Grandma Gu say that when she gets married, she won't be able to make her own bellybands, panties, etc. for others without telling anyone else. As for my husband¡¯s, forget it. It¡¯s up to you to dress yourself if you don¡¯t look good. My husband has an embroiderer! At the end of the year, I also learned something similar. But I no longer want to learn. Why. My hands are full of holes. If you know how to sew, it won't look ugly in the future. It's not like being an embroiderer. That Zhao Xiu Niang also knew Wen Wan's thoughts. With Wen Wan's status, it is indeed not necessary.
"Princess, Princess Fuling sent a message, asking the princess to go and enjoy the flowers in five days." Wen Wan received the message, and then curled her lips. When it comes to appreciating flowers, I am only six years old. I know what birds are not and flowers are not flowers. Don't go.
When the old lady got the news, she asked Wen Wan to take Qing Ci and the others. This is a great opportunity to make acquaintance with your lady. Their mansion has not received an invitation for several years. Wenwan didn't refuse either. Anyway, on the day of the banquet, Wen Wan fell ill. The emperor's special physician Wang Taiyi was invited to see him. I took medicine and started to sweat. Two days later, I was fine.
The old lady was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She knew that there was nothing she could do about Wen Wan.
¡°It¡¯s just the right time to get sick.¡± Princess Fuling smiled and had people send her medicinal materials.
"I have to say that this gentle princess is too stingy. The reward she gave was only one tael of silver. I remember when I went to the princess's mansion, the princess gave her at least five taels of silver. Now, she is really shabby. This princess is too stingy. It¡¯s not like she has no money, she still has three fiefs. What is she doing with so much money?¡± A woman from Princess Fuling¡¯s mansion came back after delivering the medicinal materials and complained that the reward was too little.
Wen Wan¡¯s reputation for being stingy spread out inadvertently without Wen Wan noticing.
Wen Wan is very bored. "What interesting gossip has happened in the capital recently?"
"There are no other gossips, but there is one serious matter. This year's Wu champion is the sixth young master of the Bai family. It is the sixth young master of the Bai family who was rumored to have suppressed his wife before. He is so majestic. Even the emperor praised him and said he was powerful. Brave and brave, he is a rare general." Xia Ying smiled and gossiped. He waved his hand gently and asked to continue.
"Also, at the princess's banquet last time, the most outstanding girl was a young lady from the Luo family. She was said to be very talented and looked like a fairy. The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion intended to hire the eldest young master. I don't know who it was. It¡¯s not true.¡± If Grandma Gu were here, she would have to scold Xia Ying. But there are only two of them at this moment. Xia Ying said whatever she wanted to know about Wen Wan. This is what the prince said.
"The third master of Mi Shangshu's family drank wine, fought with others, and made a lot of noise" Anyway, Wen Wan was quite interested in these gossips.
She tried her best to get what she wanted from these gossips. For example, the Bai family is her eldest cousin's husband's family, and she is marrying the eldest son of the Bai family. I learned that the surname of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is Mi, and the surname of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is Song. They are the elder sister-in-law¡¯s biological father (To be continued)
