After receiving the news, Wen Wan was silent for a long time. She was feeling bad about Qing Shui's troubles, or it could be said that she was not feeling bad about Qing Shui's troubles. She feels uncomfortable about the status of women in this society. If you can't give birth, you can just call it quits. What about her future? She doesn¡¯t want to get married! However, the court law stipulates that if a man is over 20 and does not get married, his parents will be guilty, and if a woman is over 18 and does not get married, her parents will also be punished.
Therefore, she will definitely get married in the future. However, when she thought about her husband's three wives and four concubines, she felt as sick as if she had swallowed a fly.
Xia Ying always looked at Wen Wan as being uninterested and a little nervous. After asking her what was new, Wen Wan told her what was depressing her, and finally asked her why she didn't get married. If there was someone in the house whom she valued, she would make the decision for him.
Xia Ying smiled and said, "No, the people in the mansion haven't caught my eye yet. As for what the princess is worried about, it doesn't exist at all. In the future, the princess will not be able to take concubines without the consent of the princess. No more. Princess, what do you have to worry about? If those people are bold enough to seduce the princess, they will all be beaten to death with a stick."
Wen Wan was secretly speechless, wondering what Xia Ying did before. How could she kill people easily? She suspected that she had been a killer before. Otherwise, killing someone would be as easy for her as eating. Thinking of this, Wen Wan looked at Xia Ying carefully. Xia Ying was so scared that she felt like she was in her heart: "Princess Princess, why are you looking at this slave like this?"
Wen Wan shuddered, could it be that he was really a killer. It's really scary to be with a killer every day. But he soon became excited. The killer, the legendary figure, was actually beside him. He looked at Xia Ying from head to toe again. Seeing this made Xia Ying tremble.
Baojia
When the people from the Bao family saw the people from the Ping family coming to their door, they felt confident at first. When they found out that Qing Shui couldn't have children, it was completely false, and several owners of the Bao family. I was stunned on the spot.
"I didn't know that the famous doctor you invited could be so harmful to people. Forget it, our Ping family will recognize this. You sign this and the letter of departure and return the dowry to us. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. The child belongs to us. Qing Shui, otherwise, I will see you at the Yamen." Shang Hong sneered at Bao Mian.
"You said you can give birth to a baby, but who knows if you have done anything?" Shang Qi was furious after hearing this, but he still took the diagnostic instructions prepared by Doctor Tang and an imperial doctor.
People from the Bao family. There is nothing left to say.
"The reputation of divorcing a wife without children can no longer be used; if you marry an equal wife, you can divorce her, but there is only less than half a month left before marrying your wife. If you say you won't marry now, you will definitely offend Shangfeng. This time, it was a dilemma. Gritting his teeth. The future is more important. They said they still wanted to make peace, and the Bao family would agree to any conditions as long as it was within the allowable range.
"Okay. Give me all the dowry at a penny; Qingqing will also be raised by Qingshui; and we will compensate you with five thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, we will go to the government and divorce my wife to marry a powerful woman. I will go to court first. The censor in the palace just happened to have something to do," Shang Hong said very boldly.
The corners of Bao Mian's mouth twitched. Five thousand taels is really a big deal. But at this point, there is nothing you can do. It¡¯s better than breaking off the engagement! After discussing it for a long time, they agreed to 3,500 taels and gave him three days to raise the money.
"Qing Shui's dowry list is quite large, but what about her jewelry?" Shang Li held up the list and looked at it. When he saw that the jewelry Wen Wan gave to Qing Shui was missing, he immediately got angry. The people from the Bao family said. The jewelry was all taken away by the water.
"Hmph, let me tell you. Both sets of Qingshui's jewelry were given by the princess, and they are all palace designs. The pearl flowers inlaid with precious stones were given to the princess by the emperor. They are priceless. You said you didn't keep them privately, okay. I'll let the government decide what's right and wrong." Shang You straightened his back.
When Bao Mian heard this, he quickly asked someone to check it out. All the people who were working as servants in Qingshui House were tied up. If they couldn't explain why, they were all beaten to death as thieves.
"The eldest young master, the third young master, and the old lady of the Bao family sent people to the girl's back room. When she came out, it was in chaos and all the valuable things were gone." One of the maids came from the Ping Mansion and stood up immediately. Anyway, she will follow the eldest young master and the third young master back, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Hearing this, Shang Hong and Shang Li stopped saying anything and looked at Mr. Bao Mianbao. Bao Mian's face turned the color of pig liver and he immediately went to Bao's mother's room. But he was still left empty-handed.
Afterwards, an agreement was reached, and all the jewelry of Qingshui was discounted by 3,000 taels, which meant that a total of 6,500 taels of silver had to be paid. The cost of this reconciliation is still relatively high. Shang Hong and Shang Qi went back with their money and dowry. When leaving, Shang Hong sneered as he looked at the Bao family. I don¡¯t even think about it, someone¡¯s fourth-grade legitimate daughter will be a decent wife to your son. A bunch of people with rusty brains.
"Ah, I have all the jewelry with me. How dare I wear such expensive jewelry?Stay at Bao's house." Qing Shui was shocked when he heard this.
"Who cares? It's a good thing to get so much money. Use this money to buy some land for you. From now on, no matter what happens, at least you will have enough food and clothing." When Mrs. Xu heard this, she didn't think so. Said thoughtfully.
"At the Bao family, when Mrs. Bao heard about it, she lost a total of 6,500 taels of silver. That was more painful than cutting her flesh. At that moment, he successfully fainted.
Mrs. Bao was filled with hatred and resentment. She didn¡¯t expect Qingshui to be so stubborn. She didn¡¯t care about the past friendship at all and took 6,500 taels of their family¡¯s property and left! Most of them belong to his son! I loved her so much back then that I wanted to get married even if I wanted to offend my mother-in-law, but I got this result. As a result, the master now doesn't want to see him anymore. My teeth are itching with hatred! Naturally, the Bao family has been having a very miserable year.
Prince Zheng¡¯s Mansion
King Zheng received 35,000 taels of silver from Wen Wan, and Wen Wan said that all the previous money was used as the original investment. His baby toy store and greenhouse vegetables will not give him any shares. King Zheng couldn't laugh or cry at the moment, but he was deeply moved. Even he had heard of the famous names of Mingyue Villa and the Source of Beauty. It is estimated that there are not many people in Daqi who have not heard of it. Unexpectedly, there is really something of its own here. In less than half a year, I made back my capital. This ability to make money is too exaggerated. He had ten fiefdoms and took 30% profit, which was only a little over 100,000 yuan. This was still a good business for him.
The three Wenwan fiefdoms are all in good locations and at commercial intersections. There is also a fertile county with abundant produce, which can produce thirty to forty thousand taels a year.
"Princess, you are really good at making money! But looking at those spies, I really want to enjoy it!" Even Shen Jian had to admire. These industries alone account for nearly one-fifth of the palace's income. The money the princess earns in a year is enough to cover the income of the entire palace. And looking at the description of Mingyue Villa in the spy report, even he was a little moved. I also want to have some fun! The two were silent for a long time.
"My lord, do you really believe that the princess was inspired by her travels? Such a huge project, and Xia Yu's information. The princess's drawing skills are very skillful. Many famous architects have written about that charter. Not as good as that. I always feel a little weird." Shen Jian thought for a long time.
"What you are saying is weird. You don't really believe in the possession of demons and ghosts. Who can believe in those gods and gods? It's just that she suffered too much and matured prematurely. It's not surprising that she knows more things than ordinary people. Who let her There is such a good teacher. There is no need to doubt that the child's understanding ability is very strong. The teachers who have taught her are all impressed by her, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a photographic memory. And his teacher Song Luoyang was the top scorer in high school at the age of 16. . You think about it, with a teacher like Song Luoyang who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, it is not surprising that he is not willing to become an official. It would be great if I gave it to you." King Zheng said without caring at all. Shen Jian was silent.
There has been a lively topic in Beijing recently. The governor of the capital caught a girl who was charming and talented. With a good skin and sweet words, he has deceived the hearts of countless lonely young women. He also relied on the donations from those women to enjoy the hot and spicy food. However, he usually only deals with families whose reputations are not prominent, but unfortunately this time, the husband of one of the young women got wind of it and rushed back from other places and caught him ready. You can't even deny it.
"And this woman's husband is a cuckold. If someone else is a cuckold, they will definitely hide it and kill him in private. He refused and sent it to the capital government office.
After a severe punishment, the ** confessed many personal names. Several of them were women from well-known families and were placed in nunneries to practice. Lord Fu Yin was so worried that sweat broke out on his forehead and he wanted to suppress it. But I didn't suppress it, some people's names still came out.
Naturally, all the women whose names were leaked died. Those who hanged themselves, those who took poison, all died to apologize.
Somehow, Ping Xiangxi heard a rumor. Talking about this **, a person went out to play and got lost. I met a beautiful and romantic young woman on the mountain and had a romantic night.
Later, he heard that it was a temple in the Duke's mansion, and he didn't dare to go there anymore. Afraid of being caught, beaten to death with sticks. Now there are only two official residences in Da Qi Dynasty. It's either the residence of Duke Zhenguo or the residence of Duke Pingguo. The residence of the Duke of Zhenguo has always had a good reputation because of the presence of virtuous concubines. Therefore, after hearing this romantic rumor, the news that came to people's minds must be from the Duke of Pingguo.
During that time, the An family happened to be in the family temple. No matter what she said or cursed or swore, she could not dispel Ping Xiangxi's suspicion. He kicked her in the heart and knocked her unconscious. (To be continued)
