Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shang Tu is a good day on the 18th of December, and Qingjiu is a good day on the 26th, only eight days apart.  When it was time to add makeup, Aunt Liu waited and waited until the evening of the 25th, but she did not wait for Wen Wan to arrive.

    "Auntie, what are you doing?" Qingjiu looked at her mother, who had been looking forward to it, and asked with some confusion.

    Aunt Liu was born into a family in Ping Mansion. When she was eight years old, she was given to Ping Xiangcheng, who was only seven years old, as a personal maid by the then old lady.  The two of them have grown up together, and their friendship is naturally extraordinary.  Coupled with the special care of the old lady, she is also very well-behaved and often says good things about Ping's mother. Ping's mother also likes Aunt Liu very much.  So when the eldest lady first came over, she suffered a lot of hidden losses.

    ¡° Moreover, she also gave birth to a son and a daughter, and was favored by Ping Xiangcheng. She also had a wide network of contacts in the mansion.  After the eldest wife gave birth to her eldest daughter and then her eldest son (in a wealthy family, the concubine could only have children after the first wife gave birth to the eldest son), she gave birth to a son immediately, but unfortunately he died within a year.  Later, a daughter, Qingjiu, was born.  After giving birth to Qingjiu, she gave birth to son Shangbin.

    The big house actually has three concubines, but under the control of Mrs. Xu and Aunt Liu, they have always maintained the situation of three sons.  Even if you give birth to a son, there will be various situations.  Hei Xiangcheng thought that having three sons was enough, and he didn't care why he didn't get any more sons.

    Therefore, in the past twenty years, although Aunt Liu has not been able to say that she has good luck or good luck in the house,

    The days were also very comfortable.  But days like this were gone once Wen Wan came back.  She had received a lot of benefits from the An family back then, and she often spoke ill of Mother Wen Wan in front of the old lady and Ping's mother.  After the princess died, she was the first to say that Wen Wan was the prime minister of the family.

    She also had a hand in the princess¡¯s dowry.  It was only because the eldest lady paid close attention to her and warned her not to bring trouble to the eldest house that she gave up.  But he also got the benefit of three thousand taels given by Anshi.  Over the years in the house, she has clearly seen that everything is fake, and only the money in her hand is real.

    So when Wen Wan returned home, An was the first to panic, followed by her.  So the situation immediately followed, just to confirm the rumors about Wen Wanke's family.

    "How did you know that that girl was lucky, not only did she have a prince to support her.  Even the emperor came to join in the fun and made her the princess.  Not long after, the emperor gave the princess's dowry list to the prince.  The eldest lady has always hated herself till her teeth are full, but she has done so for so many years.  Wherever she can get the chance.  This time I took the opportunity and confiscated most of my private house.  He was scolded by the prince.  Wait until you hear what the prince says.  She was afraid. If Wen Wan found out that she was responsible for being sent away, she would be doomed.  So I huddled in my little yard every day.  I'm just afraid of attracting Wen Wan's eyes and being missed by her.  But in my own little yard, my heart bleeds every day!  Half a box of jewelry, that half box of jewelry is worth at least four to five thousand taels of silver!  It was the dowry he prepared to give to Qingjiu.  There is also a meeting gift for the future daughter-in-law.  Unexpectedly, this time.  Completely gone.

    Later, when Wen Wan looked like she didn¡¯t know, she came out.  However, when he heard that Qing Shui was taught by the nanny from the palace, he became interested.  I tried many ways and even asked the Duke to speak, but all failed.  I had no choice but to hire a nun.  However, the upbringing nanny is not as good as someone who came from the palace.

    Not long after, it was reported that Shang¡¯s figurines had been admitted to the Ministry of Rites.  Got the eighth rank job.  But she got the news that she got this fame only by begging Wen Wan.  She asked the master to plead for mercy, but was severely reprimanded by the master.  Said Shang Bin is only sixteen years old.  It won't be too late to find him some fame in two years, but in this situation.  How can you still get in? It's not offensive.

    "The master said this, and she had nothing to do. It was not the fame that she valued. Only with the fame could she have a good relationship.  It's now the 16th year of the New Year, and I haven't seen my wife take any action. She is really anxious to death.

    Fortunately, the master also loved Qingjiu and found a good match for her.  Only then did I let go of my hanging heart.  When they heard the news, nearly half of Qingshui's thirty-six dowry packages were empty.  Yes, most of them are substandard goods.  At that time, she still laughed, thinking that even if she married into the Bao family this time, she would never be able to hold her head high for the rest of her life.

    How do you know? I don¡¯t know how that girl Qingshui got the attention of that dead girl.  That night, I added about ten boxes of things.  They are all fine silks and satins, fine utensils, and many palace-style items.

    ¡°That¡¯s not all. When Qingshui sent her mother-in-law back to deliver gifts, Ping¡¯s mother asked about the process in detail. She was also present at the time.  He said that Miss Qingshui lived a good life in the Bao family.  Then he talked about Qing Shui's complete sets of jewelry in great detail, which made everyone in the Bao family stare.  Not only did it make the people of the Bao family straighten out, but even the people of the Ping family straightened their eyes after hearing it.  Some of those jewelry cannot be bought even if you have money.

    The mother-in-law also asked specifically, and Miss Qingshui said that these jewelry were the dowry left to her by her mother.  The mother-in-law said, just wear the whole set, it is estimated to be worth at least two or three thousand taels.

    Ping¡¯s mother was very angry at that time. When the second wife was in such difficulty, her eldest brother wanted to donate his official position and borrowed money from everywhere, but she did not take out these jewelry.  The woman is indeed outgoing, and the gentle and considerate person she usually looks like is just an act.  It's a shame that I still love her so much.

    Ping¡¯s mother¡¯s personal maid whispered something into Ping¡¯s mother¡¯s ear, and Ping¡¯s mother looked better.  He said, if this is true, then their remaining sisters will also be blessed.

    At that time, she guessed that these jewelry must be given by Wen Wan.  When she guessed the news at that time, she almost became angry to death. Several pieces of jewelry there were originally from Qingjiu.  But thinking about it, she would be there when her daughter got married, and she felt a little more balanced.

    But now, I will be getting married tomorrow morning.  The gentle man still made no move.  How could she not be in a hurry? That was three to four thousand taels of silver.  After so many years of careful planning, she had saved eight thousand taels of silver.  The eldest lady also confiscated 3,000 taels. Fortunately, I was clever and had 5,000 taels hidden close to me.  There is no way, the money has shrunk by half, and I can only use two thousand taels to support my daughter, and the rest is naturally given to my son.

    ¡°Although the dowry purchased by the Duke and Mrs. Xu for Qingjiu is worthy of her status, she will not lose her dignity by marrying her.  But nowhere can the jewelry given by Wen Wan be as elegant.  If the daughter had those jewelry, she would be more respectable in her husband's family and would not be looked down upon.

    But when the sun went down, no one was there.  She couldn't bear it anymore and went to Hengfang Pavilion.  Wenwan was naturally invisible, so Xia Yu gave her fifty taels of silver. Last time, the princess also gave Miss Qingshui fifty taels of silver.

    Only then did Aunt Liu know why Qing Shui said that those jewelry were the relics left by her mother.  Love is waiting for them here!  But I was very unconvinced, saying that the princess was too unfavorable to one another.  They are all sisters. They have given so many things to Miss Qingshui. How could they do this to their own daughter?

    Xia Yu said funnyly, Miss Qingshui has no father or mother.  Could it be that Miss Qingjiu also has no father or mother?  Moreover, those satin leathers were all unused at that time, so they were given to Miss Qingshui.  But now they are gone, so I can only apologize.  After that, he went back.

    "I knew these people would come to fight the famine." Xia Yu said unhappily

    "You can't fight the famine even if you come here. The princess has already prepared for it. At most, she will give you fifty taels of silver. From now on, she will give you all fifty taels." After Wen Wan found out, she smiled and said nothing.

    "Humph, you hurt Wen Wan so much in the past, and now you still want to get Wen Wan to give you jewelry. It's really a big joke." The eldest lady was very disdainful.  The woman next to her smiled and changed the subject.

    After returning home, Aunt Liu was angry and resentful, but there was nothing she could do.  In the evening, I ran to see my daughter again, asked all the maids outside to go out, and whispered to my daughter.  Then he stuffed two thousand taels of silver notes into Qingjiu.  Qingjiu was very moved, but still said no, leaving it to her younger brother for their marriage.

    "Nonsense, your brother certainly has the plans of the prince. If you become someone else's wife, you will definitely suffer a lot of grievances. Just listen to your mother and get through it. You must endure it, and you will gain the love of your husband.  Be filial to your parents-in-law and live a happy life, and Auntie Liu will be happy and have no regrets." Auntie Liu couldn't bear it, and she burst into tears as she spoke.

    "Mother" Qingjiu cried like a mess.

    When Wen Wan returned home three days later, Wen Wan was lucky enough to meet the man.  He looks good, basically the same as the scholar in Wen Wan's imagination.  Seeing Qingjiu's shy face, but not hiding the cheerful expression on her brows, she thought that she must be having a great time.

    "I have met the princess." He is a very polite person.  Of course, it has nothing to do with you whether you know etiquette or not.  He didn't feel shy about it, so he agreed calmly. If he hadn't made an agreement with the Lord, who would have the patience to chat with people like them here.

    It¡¯s Chinese New Year and it¡¯s very lively again.  During the sacrifice, the elders in the clan were very polite to Wen Wan.  The clan leader even thanked Wen Wan in person.  This is because of Mr. Yan.  In the past six months, the children in the clan have grown a lot.  In addition, the property Wenwan purchased for Gongzhong increased Gongzhong's prospects a lot, making the people of the clan much better off than before.  The burden on the patriarch has been reduced a lot, and his face is brighter!

    Wen Wan did not expect that a suggestion from the patriarch would trigger another round of conflict between Wen Wan and Ping Xiangxi.  The relationship between the originally indifferent father and daughter has dropped to a freezing point.

    "Wen Wan, have you ever thought about adopting a brother in your mother's name? Let your mother also enjoy the family of children and grandchildren!" The patriarch said kindly.

    The patriarch really likes gentleness. Over the past year or so, his life has been extremely comfortable, and everyone in the clan has praised the patriarch for his wisdom.  Especially during the Chinese New Year, that tribe got twice as much money as usual, which is even moreIn fact, everyone knows that the blessing of the patriarch is the blessing of Wen Wan.  Therefore, some things are truly planned for her.  (To be continued)
