Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wen Wan had no choice but to be the pioneer herself.  He took his guards with him and climbed two mountains to reach that place.  It looked lush and green, the spring water was tinkling, the surrounding flowers were blooming brilliantly, and the birds on the trees were singing happily.  No matter what the hell, Wen Wan felt that this was the best place to grow winter vegetables.

    "Princess, there are many bones here." Several maids were so frightened that they could not move their legs.  Fortunately, those guards were not timid and went to search separately.

    Wen Wan stood still while Xia Ying walked over.  After looking at it for a while, he came back and said, "Princess, these are human bones. I checked and found that they were killed by someone."

    Wen Wan couldn¡¯t help but laugh after hearing this. Maybe she had to be a detective again.  Forget it, let¡¯s report this kind of thing to the people in the Yamen!

    It¡¯s cool here in the summer, but I don¡¯t know what the temperature is here in the winter.  Wen Wan asked again and again, and Wu Jin guaranteed with his life that the winter here was indeed warmer than outside.

    It spread that the people who disappeared here ten years ago were killed.  Offer a high reward to people to open up wasteland here.  There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.  Forty farmers teamed up to open up this flat land.  Wen Wan and Xia Tian briefly described what the land reclamation should look like.  Then I gave them simple drawings.  Leave it alone.

    A good leader is one who is good at utilizing time and resources to obtain maximum benefits at minimum cost.  If you work hard at everything, you will definitely be exhausted.  Zhuge Liang died of overwork.

    With the intervention of the government, the murderer was quickly found out within two days.  Kill for money.  Wen Wan is not interested in the specific situation.  On the contrary, the victim's family members are grateful to Wen Wan.

    After this, Wen Wan gave up her plan to make money.  Start carefully completing the homework left by your husband.  Exercise and exercise every day.  Practice calligraphy, play the flute, and draw.  When I got interested, I even made tea for a few maids to drink.  Several personal maids complained endlessly, but fortunately, as time went by, their skills improved.  Or when you feel bored, take a few people with you to climb mountains and pick flowers.  Then go to the mountain to see the construction progress there.

    After being gentle, have a cup of tea every day.  Humming a little tune, taking a short walk, looking at the stars and the moon, enjoying the gentle wind and rain, and picking some small flowers and grass.  Or go to the river and fish for some small fish and shrimps.  Life goes by just as Mr. Tao said.  See Nanshan leisurely.

    "Sister Xia Ying, do you think the princess is becoming more and more like a hermit?" Xia Yu saw that Wen Wan was content and happy every day.  Said with a smile.

    "Yeah. It's true." Xia Ying also said with a smile.  She also didn't expect that Wen Wan's mood would be so broad.  I am not depressed at all when I come here, and I am having a good time.  They came here for refuge, and now it seems that they are here for vacation.

    "Yes, you see, the princess's flute is getting better and better now, and it has a bit of Mr. Song's flavor. I think when the princess started learning, as soon as she started playing the flute, the birds and insects around her  They all ran away." Xia Lin stretched out her head and smiled.

    "Be careful if the princess hears it. I'll throw you back to the capital." Xia Yu scolded with a smile.

    "I don't want to go back! Although it's not as comfortable here as in the capital, it's very happy. Look at how nourishing the princess' life is every day. Although I don't understand, I can also see it. Not only does the princess play the flute well, but she also plays the flute well.  The paintings are getting better and better, the tea is getting better and better, and the handwriting is getting better and better. If this continues, our princess will definitely become the second Mr. Song."  Xia Lin said cheerfully.

    "The princess is the princess and will not become anyone else's. The princess' future achievements will definitely be immeasurable." Xia Ying said something very philosophical.

    The Taira family, the big house

    "What? That child is living happily in the village? How is this possible?" The eldest lady didn't believe it at all, but her husband told her this.

    "This is still a lie. I sent someone to follow me to deliver the letter. Wenwan said that she exercises every day, practices calligraphy, draws, walks, plays the flute, and even takes the maid to climb mountains and pick flowers. She goes back every now and then.  Fishing in the river. She also said that she was working on a plan to make money by raising livestock in the countryside. She said that her life was like a fairy." When the news came to him, he didn't believe it.  Ordinarily, she was going to seek refuge, which was considered an exile.  She can enjoy herself.

    "This child is quite generous." The Duke's wife sighed after hearing this.

    ¡°The teacher is extraordinary, and the students he teaches are also extraordinary.¡± Mr. Guo sighed.

    "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days, and it's time to bring this child back. It's been a few months now. I won't always be thinking about finding trouble with this child. If I don't bring her back, I'm afraid  By then, someone will be gossiping again," the Duke's wife said softly.

    "That's right. I'll write a letter right now to ask her to come back." Mr. GuoImmediately went to the study room.

    The Duke¡¯s wife looked at her husband¡¯s back and sighed slightly.  How could such a good child encounter a soft-hearted father and a mindless and vicious stepmother?

    Within a few days, Wen Wan received a letter from Ping Mansion.  Let her go back, saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival in August is coming soon, and let her go back to celebrate the Reunion Festival.  Otherwise, others would have no idea how to organize Pingfu!

    Wen Wan thought for a moment, the livestock in the farm will be out of the warehouse in more than a month.  Although Butler Lin can solve it, he still has to keep an eye on it himself.  Also, we need to invite a few craftsmen to come over.  Finally, after careful consideration, I decided to go back.  The two-month pastoral life experience is over.

    It was very quiet that night, Wen Wan fell asleep.  I was half asleep when I heard a few jingling sounds, and someone shouted loudly that there was an assassin, there was an assassin.

    Wen Wan woke up with a start and found that she was not in her bed, but on the couch.  Looking around again, Xia Ying was not in the room.  After the shouting, the lights outside became brighter.  Surprisingly, the door was pushed open and a panicked Xia Yu ran in. Wen Wan probably knew what happened.  His face also turned pale.  No, it would be too cruel to kill people and silence them just for this matter.

    Xia Yu came over and coaxed, "Princess, don't be afraid. It's just a few thieves, and there are more than 20 guards outside. Don't be afraid, it's okay."

    "Xia Ying is outside and will be back soon," she wrote gently.

    After a while, Xia Ying came in.  Xia Ying was still as at the beginning, without panic.  Looking at Wen Wan, he whispered: "Don't worry, Princess, those people have been dealt with."

    Wanwan strokes a few times.  Xia Ying glanced at Xia Yu, who immediately went out.  After the others went out and closed the door, "Those people are all dead. It looks like they are not ordinary killers. Even if I want to find out why they wanted to kill the princess, there is no way to find out. I guess it should be this incident."

    Wenwan looked at her and made a few strokes.

    Xia Ying hesitated and said, "Besides this incident, there is another reason. King Zhao wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the princess and eliminate future troubles."

    Wen Wan glanced at her. If King Zhao sent someone to kill her, he would surely hit him with one hit. How could he send such a small shrimp soldier?  While looking down on her.  Also downgraded him.  But Wenwan didn't say anything and continued to sleep.

    Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan with a normal expression and didn't know what to think.  When she thought she had a certain understanding of the princess.  Countless questions popped up.  And she also knew that Wen Wan didn't believe her and was even wary of her.  At this point, she was helpless.  But also know that only time will tell.  Swearing and all that is bullshit.

    As for being able to sleep or not being able to sleep.  Only God knows.  Anyway, Wen Wan developed a high fever in the middle of the night.  There was a fuss, and the doctor said he was frightened.  Two doses of medicine were prescribed.  Wen Wan was impatient to take the medicine, poured it down, and continued to sleep.  After daybreak, Wen Wantou no longer had that special function, so she went out for a walk and saw that everything outside was the same as yesterday, or in other words, the surroundings were cleaner than yesterday.

    Wen Wan looked at the clean and tidy environment around her without leaving any traces, thinking that the assassinations of others were all vigorous.  Why didn't she even see the shadow of the killer?  It feels like those killers are all like clowns.  It disappeared without a splash of water, which was extremely cowardly.  Even more useless than her.

    The arrest came quickly.  After looking at the people who were killed.  It was clearly stated that these four people were wanted criminals.  Specializing in the business of breaking into houses, robbing people, killing people and selling goods.  As for why Wen Wan was chosen this time.  It's because of Wen Wan's behavior of distributing money in the past two months.

    Several maids complained about their bad luck.  Wen Wan smiled after hearing this and said nothing.  She never believed in luck.  If she believed in luck, she would have died a long time ago.  In this incident, someone probably wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.  But those people didn't expect that the guards around Wen Wan, no, it should be said that Xia Ying was extremely vigilant.  Any abnormal movement will be noticed.  After sounding the alarm, those killers naturally had no escape.

    Even because of the assassin, Wen Wan¡¯s schedule has not changed.  Return to the capital as usual on the scheduled day.  Wen Wan also looks full of energy.  When I arrived in the capital, I rushed directly to one place.

    "Princess, why don't we go back to the Duke's Mansion first?" Xia Ying asked strangely.

    "If you don't want to go back, just go back to the house that you have prepared. Unless something happens, you will only go back to the Duke's Mansion. The rest will live there. If there are fewer servants, buy some new ones. The original ones have a complicated relationship with the Duke's Mansion, so I don't want them anymore.  "Leave it to Mother Gu to select people, and leave it to Grandma Gu to train people." Wen Wan expressed her feelings directly.  If you don't take this opportunity to move out now, you will have to wait until the monkey-faced horse-moon moves out.  Enough of the birdiness in that damn place.

    "Yes." The two immediately understood that Wen Wan didn't want to get involved with the Duke's Mansion.  Otherwise, not even a few servants would be willing to use it  However, it is also human nature.  There is no good person in this Taira family.  It is no exaggeration to say that people and gods were outraged by what they had done before.

    Mother Gu is also the mother in charge of the palace, so she naturally knows Ya Po.  Wen Wan had a latent rejection of Ya Po, so she directly handed over the selection to Mama Gu.  And the main thing is to select some rough women and male servants, without her intervention.

    "Mother Gu, the princess wants to ask you. The prince wants you to help the princess manage for a while. Or should I just let you serve the princess all the time." Xia Yu asked.

    "Of course I have to serve the princess all the time." Gu's mother was a little frightened after hearing this, thinking that there was something inconsiderate about Wen Wan's disdain for her.

    "Don't worry, I will provide for you in the future. I won't leave you alone." Wen Wan knew that Gu's mother was single.  Mother Gu had been married before, but her daughter died and she never gave birth again.  Her husband divorced her and married another wife.  When he was in his twenties, he sold himself into the palace and stayed with Wen Wan when he came out.

    "Thank you, Princess." After receiving the gentle promise, Gu's mother felt relieved.  Wen Wan naturally understood why her uncle did this.  Because she can rely on herself, she expects that she will provide for her until the end of her life and will be devoted and loyal to her.  Will not betray.

    "I will live in this house from now on, and I will start my own business. From now on, you will be the housekeeper of the house. You will handle the small things and report the big ones." Wen Wan looked at the respectful Xia Tian and nodded secretly in her heart.  Xia Tian still respects himself very much.

    "Thank you, Princess, for your trust in me. I will definitely take care of the yard properly and live up to the princess's high expectations." Xia Tian was a little excited. He was now in charge, not just a follower with nothing to do.  Although I was very excited, I was still very measured.  Wen Wan nodded.  Xia Tian looked at the gentle and peaceful face, and Xia Tian suddenly felt that following such a master, he might be able to achieve great success in the future.

    Xia Tian is actually not that old.  He is only twenty years old this year.  However, there is really no one trustworthy around Wen Wan.  For people in Pingfu, gentleness can be achieved without even thinking about it.  The intertwined relationship between a century-old family, who knows what evil will arise in the future.  She doesn't even want to have a rough lady around her. She would ask a housekeeper from the Taira family to come over and restrain her. This is causing trouble.  Xia Tian has been with her for several months.  Wen Wan is also known to be smart and loyal.  So, this will.  Wen Wan asked Xia Tian to be the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of this house.  The housekeeper of the inner house is naturally Gu Mama.

    Xia Tian is the youngest son of the third steward of Prince Zheng's palace, and his surname is Ning.  Although she is a concubine, because she is the youngest son, she is still loved by the third housekeeper.  Their family is all the slaves of the palace. Xia Tian knows some boxing skills and is very clever.  His father knew that Princess Wenwan wanted someone with good skills from the palace, so he recommended Xia Tian to Butler Lin.  At that time, I just said that I wanted two people who could do some legwork, but I didn't say anything else.  At that time, it just meant two things.  nature.  No one would give up the power of the palace to follow a girl for a long time.  No one wanted to do this job, so his father got it if he did it.  At that time, Xia Tian had been working as a errand for six years.  Before coming to Wenwan, I wanted to find him a job as the head of purchasing.  But he was tricked by the nephew of the chief steward.  He felt very uncomfortable at the time, but he also knew that his father was only the third in charge.  Can't compare to the big butler.

    ¡°But when he heard that his father said that he would be assigned to Wenwan as a long-term follower, he was absolutely terrified.  Some people didn't believe that his father would treat him like this. After all, he was already in the palace at that time and was still a little boss in charge of three or four servants.  Now, I want to be a follower.

    "Son, dad is sixty this year. His body and bones are not as strong as before, so this job has to be offloaded. You and your two brothers have not had a good relationship since childhood. It is impossible for them to help you in the future.  So, you have to rely on yourself. But you are a concubine. Even if you stay in the palace for the rest of your life, you might as well find another way.  With this status, the princess has a bad relationship with the Ping family. When the princess wants to hire people, she will naturally think of someone she can trust. You are from the palace, so the princess will naturally trust you." His father analyzed it for him.

    "But dad, the princess is only six years old this year. How can a child with no support from her father's family and the Taira family be able to survive? She is still just a follower. What can she do in the future? Could it be that she will be a follower all her life?  ." Xia Tian still resisted.

    "What can you do? Do you really think that no one is willing to take this job? Dad, tell the truth, Butler Lin wants his eldest grandson to go, but his eldest grandson is unwilling. He wants his second grandson to go, but his second grandson is too weak  Weak and don't meet the requirements. He wanted his nephew to go, but his nephew was unwilling to do so. Dad had to go through a lot of effort and gave many gifts to the chief steward to get the spot. Do you really think it was like what people outside said?  People are willing to go. It was spread like this on purpose, just because we didn¡¯t want people to compete for this spot.¡±The steward couldn't help but smile when he saw his son's disbelief.

    "You support things? I don't think you support things. A child who doesn't support things can make King Zhao suffer such a big loss. If he doesn't support things, he can be so loved by the prince. If he doesn't support things, a mute can be named a noble by the emperor.  Princess, you child, you don¡¯t have enough experience! Not to mention that if our father ascends the throne in the future, the princess will have great fortunes. Even if other princes ascend the throne, you will at least be a steward in the fiefdom.  This prince is strong. He still has little experience and needs more experience." The old man shook his head.

    Although what dad said makes sense, he still felt a little reluctant.  But dad had already prepared some for him, so he came over naturally.  At first, it was really boring and musty.  His father scolded him for not taking the opportunity to make more friends and learn more, which would be helpful in the future. What would he do if he stayed at home every day?  Now I am more positive.  Unexpectedly, the princess would start her own business in less than a year.  The princess is truly as bold as heaven.  However, for him, it is a great good thing.

    Although the house is small, the errands in the outer courtyard are his.  Compared with before, he was either huddled in the servants' room or wandering outside to inquire for news.  Of course, the most important thing is to stop being flattered by those people from the Taira family.  People from the Taira family are always eccentric and annoying.

    ??Bajing Alley

    As soon as Wen Wan arrived at Bajing Hutong, news came from there.  The Duke of Guo rushed over immediately and when he saw Wen Wan, he asked her to go home immediately.  What would it be like if Wen Wan lived outside.  The Duke's Mansion is still shameless, and I don't know how to be sprayed to death by people outside.  Therefore, be sure to bring Wenwan back today.

    "Home? Mr. Guo, is that my home?" Wen Wan opened her eyes wide, looking very innocent and pitiful.

    "Why isn't that your home? Get it cleaned up quickly and follow me back. How can you, a girl, live outside? It's such a mess outside. It's not safe for you, a child, to live outside. You know?  Don't you know?" Mr. Guo said angrily.  Although he was angry, he still spoke tactfully.

    After a few gentle strokes, "My lord, don't be ridiculous. It's still home, and it's almost like hell. After this incident, the princess has finally understood. You can do whatever you want, even if you go to the family tree."  It doesn't matter if she is removed from the family. When she is needed, she is like a weed. When she is not needed, she is nothing more than a weed. Please come back. It is impossible for the princess to move back.  ¡±

    "Then what do you want to do before moving back? You have to know that if your father comes, he won't be as easy to talk to as your uncle." Looking at Wen Wan's attitude, the Duke of Guo was angry and helpless, and he was extremely confused.  Hey, this kid, why is he so courageous?  How can I say something like this?  Although he knew that Wen Wan had this intention, he did not expect that it would happen so quickly.  (To be continued)
