"This is forty taels of silver, as well as these materials and jewelry. They are all given to you by the princess. It can be regarded as fulfilling the love between master and servant. The princess hopes that you will have a harmonious life in the future and have many children. "Mother Gu said strictly.
"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness." Looking at the fabric jewelry, it was worth one or two hundred taels anyway, and I was a little touched at the moment. Not to mention jewelry, this grace alone is rare. And the brocade material is a very decent thing to make a dowry.
Wenwan didn¡¯t care about Mrs. Sasou, she just reported it to the Duke¡¯s wife. Anyway, most of the things in Hengfang Pavilion have been transferred to the new house, and the things that have not been transferred are also being transferred. How those people arrange it is beyond her control.
"Princess, the old lady invites you to come to the upper room." Magpie, the maid beside the old lady, followed Wen Wan and relayed Ping Mu's wishes respectfully.
"The princess asked what's the matter." Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu immediately became vigilant.
"I said I have something important to discuss with the princess. I don't know what the specific matter is. The princess will know it when she gets to the upper room." Magpie was docile, and his attitude was much better than the two women who came before.
"I know." When Grandma Gu heard this, she knew it was not a good thing.
"Old lady, the princess is here." Magpie smiled and spread the news outside. Magpie is also the old lady's powerful maid.
"Come, come, come, come to grandma." Ping's mother was very enthusiastic at once, Wen Wan was a little confused, but she was wary and still sat on a chair next to the collapse. Ping Mu's expression froze, but she soon returned to her natural state. Mrs. Song looked on and pursed her lips. In this house, Wen Wan often lets the old lady glance at her. But the old lady couldn't help but be gentle.
¡°Ahem, why should the princess move out? If you live in a mansion. If they support the old lady from time to time, their life will be easier. Because there is gentleness as a contrast, their filial piety and respect are instantly felt.
"Old lady, the princess asked you, why do you want to see her?" Xia Yu asked directly.
"Do you have to have something to do to find her? She is my direct granddaughter. After thinking about it, I naturally met her. Grandma, tell me, am I good to all the children in the house? Wen Wan, before There's some misunderstanding. Don't take it too seriously." Ping's mother said kindly, as if what happened before was just a dream.
"That's right, grandma is the most kind. No matter who doesn't love her grandchildren, who doesn't love them. Sister Wen Wan, don't worry about what happened before." Grandma Rong wanted to hold Wen Wan's hand, Wen Wan's hand It was retracted. Auntie Gu glared at her, and Grandma Rong took her hand back sarcastically.
Wenwan looked at them and said. I was confused, but didn¡¯t answer. If Wenwan doesn't move, the people around him will naturally stay still. Seeing Wen Wan not answering, Ping's mother was so angry that she was hurt internally.
"Old lady. If there is nothing else, the princess said she is going back. There are still many things to take care of in Hengfang Pavilion." Xia Yu said beside him. Wen Wan nodded.
"Cough, cough, cough. Come on. These are Zhixue and Zhihua, both your cousins, smart and capable. Aren't you going to live in that house? You must not be able to adapt to it yet, so let your two cousins ??help you. Don't be coaxed by some unscrupulous slaves." Ping's mother pulled the two women. They both look pretty good, but one looks very timid with his head down, and the other looks very arrogant with his head raised.
There was confusion on Wen Wan's face, and she made a few movements, "The princess said that everything has been purchased for the new house. The servants have all been bought, and there are 12 maids waiting at hand. There is no need for servants anymore. Thank you, old lady." A heartfelt thought.¡±
"That's your cousin. How can you say she's a servant? Besides, it's boring for you to live in such a big house by yourself. With Zhixue and Zhihua accompanying you, there will be more laughter." Grandma Rong is here The one next to him smiled flatteringly.
"The princess said. If she gets bored, she will naturally invite Princess Siman and Siqian or Miss Sun from the Prime Minister's Mansion to play together. There is no need for the old lady to bother." Xia Yu told the story with a very calm face. Ping Mu's face looked ugly. Grandma Rong was angry and annoyed. What does Wen Wan mean by this? She looks down on her daughter.
"Mom, I even told you not to come, but you just let me go. She is the princess, how can she look down on poor relatives like us." The arrogant woman said angrily. So what about the princess? She is not a mute, so there is nothing special about her.
"The princess said that if the old lady is fine, she will go back." After saying that, she got up and left. Everyone in the courtyard was stunned when they saw Wen Wan being so big.
"Aunt, look. I'm just a princess. How can I be so powerful? In my eyes, there is no distinction between you and my grandmother." Grandma Rong was so angry that she was furious.
"Okay, stop talking." Ping's mother was angry after losing such a big deal, but she couldn't let it go. Although she was senior, the old Duke gave up his title, and her first-grade wife was gone. It's just a houseAn ordinary old lady here. In terms of Wen Wan, she is a king but she is nothing. She just relies on her seniority and is suppressed by her filial piety. But there was nothing she could do if Wenwan didn't agree with her.
"The ghost is so obsessed that she actually wants to send her daughter to explore the princess's private room. That's what she can care about. The old lady has fed them for more than ten years, and she doesn't know what she is, and she doesn't know how high the sky is. Really, but How annoying." The Duke's wife was furious after hearing the news.
"Mom, you don't know that the princess didn't take Zhixue and Zhihua seriously at all. She even said that all the servants in the house had bought them. Grandma Rong was so angry that her face turned blue. They are all here. She was so embarrassed that the princess told her that she wanted to play with Miss Su, who was also looking for the prince, so she choked and couldn't speak." Mrs. Song covered her mouth and laughed.
"That's natural. Just those two poor things who can't even compete with the maids around the princess, dare to say they are the cousin of the princess. They don't even look at themselves in the mirror when they live in poverty. Over the years, they coaxed the old lady to take I won¡¯t say how much private money I¡¯ve spent to support the Rong family, but I won¡¯t say anything about it. If it weren¡¯t for the pressure from my husband, what would have happened? The princess was so scheming. Although the emperor had not summoned her to the palace, it definitely hurt her. A few days ago, several dignitaries in the capital were secretly causing trouble. He broke into the workshop and smashed the shop, and the emperor watched him lose his money. If it hadn't been like this, he would have just asked the princess to move out, but now he saved it. She is seeking death for plotting against the princess. "The Duke's wife is really disgusted with the Rong family. The Rong family fell into decline more than ten years ago, and they have been relying on Ping Mansion to live in these years. The old lady not only subsidizes them one or two thousand taels of silver every year, but also always talks about the affairs of their house. He even thought of letting his son join the house as the housekeeper. Those who wanted to get involved in the well-oiled errands often caused trouble for the eldest lady.
"Mom, I'm not worried about this. But I saw that most of the people around the princess are from the palace, and some are from the palace. Even the menial work and the maids are from outside. I don¡¯t want to use the ones from the mansion. The only one, Xia Ling, has also come out. Does the princess want to end her relationship with the Ping family?" Mrs. Song said with some worry.
"The Taira family is a family that has been around for more than a hundred years, and their relationships are complicated. She doesn't want to be criticized and cause unpleasant things. Look, Xia Xia has stayed in the new house. Xia Xia is alone. , I have no other relatives or friends in the house, and I am not married. As for your concern that the princess wants to break off the relationship with the Ping family, even if there is no one from the Ping family, she is still the tenth daughter of the Ping family. If you don¡¯t want to break off the relationship with the Heng family, it¡¯s not okay,¡± the Duke¡¯s wife reminded. Song understood.
"However, I didn't know that the princess could be so stubborn. I think a year ago, she was still a timid little girl, hiding behind the old man when she saw people. Now, she doesn't even take her mother-in-law's words to heart. . It can be seen that she is really tough." The Duke's wife shook her head helplessly.
"The emperor is looking after him, and Prince Zheng is always caring about him. Prince Chun's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are also taking care of him. Now even the King of Zhou can come out to support him. Whoever it is, everyone will be tough. Mom, I am too I don¡¯t understand, why does this princess win the attention of so many people?¡± The eldest grandma really couldn¡¯t figure it out, and she didn¡¯t see anything different about Wen Wan.
"Haha, this child is very smart for you. You will know when you look at her slowly in the future, how did she get so many people's attention." The eldest lady smiled. In fact, she didn't understand it in her heart, so she probably attributed it to fate!

"The princess said that since you are innocent, she won't send you back to the Heng family. But from now on, don't have anything to do with the Heng family anymore." He said to Xia Tian.
"Yes." Xia Tian responded honestly.
"You are already twenty-six this year, why haven't you gotten married yet? The princess said that if you are in good health and have no hidden diseases, I will match you with a marriage. What do you think?" Xia Yu looked at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian¡¯s eyes lit up, this matchmaker was at least a second-class maid next to Wen Wan. Those maids are all good. No matter which one you match with him, it will be enough.
"My subordinate had an engagement before and has been waiting for it. But last year I learned that my fianc¨¦e had been betrothed to someone else eight years ago. That's why it was so late." Indirectly, it was said that he was fine because of his health. external reasons.
"Then you will be a good errand from now on, helping Xia Tian manage the affairs of the outer courtyard and take care of Zhuangzi. Don't slack off." Xia Yu was very stern.
"I don't dare to slack off." Xia Xia was overjoyed, and the matter was basically settled. He can marry the woman of his choice, and life will be nothing more than that.
"Xia Lan has a mellow mind and a sincere heart, and the couple?He is devoted to the house. "Mother Gu glanced at the personnel book and said to Wen Wan. Wen Wan nodded.
"I don't know if the emperor did it on purpose, but the two nuns are related. But six of the eight palace ladies are homeless. There are two others whose homes are also far away. The previous Xia Cheng had already been dealt with by Xia Ying. It was when I was going to the workshop that I fell off the carriage and was unable to save my life. That Xia Cheng was one of the two people who had a family and a family. In order to take precautions, Wen Wan transferred Xia Qing, who still had a family, and asked her to be responsible for the accounts. Not long after, she was arranged to get married and sent out with grace. Then buy a maid who has been carefully checked and has a clean background to make up for it. (To be continued)
