    "Master, what the princess wants. The Xu family doesn't have many rules. There are only five or six officials in the Xu family, and they don't have much official status. I don't know whether it is good or bad to recommend the staff. You'd better go and see  Look at that staff member, if he is evil, he will bring disaster to the third young master." After hearing this, Shang Tang's expression changed immediately.  Why didn't I think of this?  Only then did he realize that he was still too optimistic and naive, not even half as knowledgeable as Wen Wan.

    "Don't worry, you take Xia Tian with you. Even if you can't tell, Xia Tian has been in the palace since he was a child, and he has dealt with many people in the past two years. He should be able to tell clearly whether he is a good person or an adulterer." Wen Wan looked at Shang  Tang looked annoyed and couldn't help but laugh.

    After dinner, Shang Tang immediately rushed to find Shang Tu and said he wanted to see the staff member.  Shang Li was a little strange, but he thought Shang Tang cared about him, so he agreed.

    Shang Tang looked at him carefully and found that he looked quite gentle. Shang Tang said a few words to him, and they all responded fluently and his attitude was amiable.  Shang Tang looked at it with satisfaction.  But seeing Xia Tian on the other side shaking his head at him, Shang Tang felt a little strange.  After exchanging pleasantries, we made an excuse and went out.

    "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Shang Tang felt strange, but he thought it was fine.

    "Although this man speaks in a well-behaved manner, his eyes are carefully looking at the young master. His attitude towards the young master is a bit enthusiastic and he looks a bit frivolous. I'd better ask Young Master Shangtang not to agree yet. I'll ask someone to inquire about this man's past.  As an official, it is most important to find someone who is reliable, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster. The princess was also worried about this, so she asked me to come and help. "After all, Shang Tang has been in the study since he was a child.  Spin around, this time I was just on duty.  Although Shangqi also worked as a job for a year, his exposure was only for a few hours.  I haven¡¯t had any deep contact with people.  I have never been exposed to complex groups of people and things. I am really not as good as myself when it comes to judging people.

    "Well, thank you for your hard work." Shang Tang naturally knew that Xia Tian came from the palace and had many years of experience, so he could judge people more accurately than him.  He is also very conscious and accepts it humbly.

    After two days, I found out that this man was fond of gambling.  There are three aunts in the family.  I used to work as a staff member for Zhizhou, but I was fired because I was fond of gambling and got into trouble.  Wen Wan didn't say anything, she just asked someone to forward the news to Shang Tang.

    Raising so many aunts.  Not to mention the asymmetry between income and expenditure, it must be someone who doesn¡¯t feel much about his hands and feet.  Just bet on this, no need to say anything gentle.  Shang Tang felt it was very inappropriate.  This is not what a gentleman would do.  Shang Tang was very dissatisfied.  I told Shang Qi about the situation of this staff member and told him that he needed to find another one because that staff member was unreliable.  Shang Qi now also follows Shang Tang's advice, and he also knows that everyone around Shang Tang is a well-educated person.  The people he associates with are also the children of the noble family, and they are usually influenced by what they hear and what they see.  Your vision will be better than his, and your judgment of people will naturally be better than his.

    Naturally, Shang Tu declined politely, and Xiao Xu¡¯s father was very angry when he found out.  I feel that the figurines are a bit too big.  However, the Duke's wife suppressed him and asked Shang Tang to apologize.

    The Xu family felt very shameless because of this incident, so they stopped caring about it.  The previous events made Xiao Xu's parents regretful and suffered a lot of ridicule.  Now the son-in-law finally has something to look forward to. How can he not be angry when he takes Joe like this?

    at last.  It was Shang Tang's future father-in-law, Mr. Su Xian, who recommended a staff member named Kong, who was in his forties.  He is an old staff member and very experienced.  After Wen Wan found out.  It's not too much to go and have a look at it or anything like that.  Su Xian thinks that good people should have no problems.  After all, after so many years in the officialdom and more than thirty years with Su Xiang, I can't even tell him personally, and I don't have this kind of vision.  It's better not to mess around, just go home and eat old rice.

    Shang Li was very grateful. He naturally knew that he had benefited from his younger brother.  Shangtang was very frustrated. He owed so many favors even before they got engaged. How could he have face in the future? He would be a few heads shorter in front of his wife!

    "Princess, the third grandma gave birth to a big fat boy." After receiving the news, Wen Wan asked him to follow the general rules and treat ordinary relatives without any specialization.  The three rites of baptism and the rites of the first month of the month are very simple because they are during the filial piety period.  I only invited a few close people over to have a meal and forget about it.  They all went to Shang Tang, but Wen Wan did not go.  Xiao Xu was a little disappointed.  She also wanted to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Wen Wan, but it seemed that she couldn't.

    Wenwan has an instinctive rejection of the Ping family. No matter who it is, as long as it is Ping, she will push it aside.  In the past, there was no way to have some social activities.  Now that there is Shangtang, there is no need for it.  People who can use it don't, and Wen Wan is not that kind of person.

    Children and grandchildren generally only need to observe filial piety for one year before their filial piety can be eliminated.  After observing the filial piety for half a year, you can start working as an errand.  Otherwise, if the whole family doesn't work at home, how can ordinary people survive?  There are also flexibility.

    After half a year of hot filial piety, you should fast for the next six months and not eat or drink alcohol.Just play and see what the tie is, just follow the rules.  It is the son, not the grandson, who really has to observe the three-month filial piety.

    My uncle helped Shangtang find an official position in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was a senior official in the seventh rank.  The Ministry of Accounts is a good place, just like the modern Ministry of Finance, a good department.  Many people are going to the household department!  As soon as Shangtang came out of his hot filial period, which was already March, he went to work in the ministry.

    Wenwan was a little worried that Shangtang would be bullied again, so her uncle vaguely mentioned that the Minister of Household Affairs would take care of Shangtang.  Wen Wan asked stupidly, "Uncle, you know him very well!"  After being reminded by Grandma Gu, I remembered that the Cao family, the Minister of Household Affairs, had proposed marriage to me. Later, the emperor's grandfather said that he was still young and would wait until he was older.  Later, when Prince Zhi and the others intervened, the matter came to a halt and was no longer discussed.

    Wen Wan is embarrassed, very embarrassed.  Then he became angry. My uncle must have done it on purpose. Yes, he must have done it on purpose.  Otherwise, with so many positions and so many yamen, why would they go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?  Now, it doesn't matter anymore.

    Wen Wan was filled with grief and indignation. It seemed as if the emperor¡¯s grandfather was interested in the Cao family.  She doesn¡¯t want to be labeled as a member of the Cao family!  If Cao Xiaosan is a philanderer, irresponsible, crooked, or dies, he will be in trouble.  Fortunately, the emperor's grandfather still had a little compassion and did not formally agree. He just said that he would wait until he grew up to see what happened.  At this time, everyone is just hearing rumors.  Wen Wan hopes that everyone will not remember this rumor.

    It¡¯s past this point.  Wen Wan doesn't think it's right to think about it, not only Prince Zhi and Prince Zhuang are there.  How could he be so blatant and not afraid of anything coming from the two palaces?  Wen Wan was puzzled.

    After serving the hot filial piety, Shang Qi immediately took the staff named Kong recommended by Su Xian and went to Guizhou to take up his post.  Mrs. Xu happened to have finished her confinement not long ago, and due to the stimulation during pregnancy, the fetus was unstable.  Therefore, the child is a little breathless and should not travel long distances.  Wait for some time.  After settling down there, let¡¯s see if the child can bear it. If he can bear it, then decide whether to go.  Many children in ancient times died young.  Such a long journey.  Not to mention a newborn baby who is not in good health, few of us can bear it.  Little Xu doesn't worry about what her husband will do there, as her filial piety has not yet been fulfilled.  Since my husband cherishes such an opportunity so much, he will naturally not make any mistakes and give others a reason to attack.  It is more serious to take good care of your body.  The rest will be discussed later.

    In April.  Something happened in the imperial court, or it should be said that something happened along the coast.  Several prefectures in Fujian.  Encountered a tsunami.  I heard that the people are very pitiful. Not only do they have no place to live, no food, they don¡¯t even have anything to wear.  Wen Wan originally thought that if someone initiated a donation or something, she would join in the fun and express her feelings.  Little did she know that there was no need for her to get involved.

    ¡°However, the imperial court quickly sent people to Jiangnan to raise disaster funds, and there were no major fluctuations in prices in the capital.  The matter soon subsided.  Wen Wan is concerned about the emperor's grandfather's political ability.  Got a deep understanding.

    Whether there is a disaster in Fujian or not, gentleness is not a big deal to her.  She still got on with her life.  Thinking about waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival.  Look, it's okay again.  It¡¯s time to go to Zhuangzi.  Summer is coming soon, and it¡¯s too hot in the capital, so it¡¯s better to go to Zhuangzi to take a break.

    Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, I don¡¯t know if Ping Xiangxi suddenly had something wrong with his nerves or had another convulsion.  Someone sent a message to the two of them, saying that they would go back during the Dragon Boat Festival and celebrate the Reunion Festival as a family.  Shang Tang has been working on errands every day recently, and Wen Wan no longer goes to school. The teacher has come back, and she will no longer go to the academy.

    Every day I have to study, do a lot of homework, and take care of business, which is also very busy.

    Shangtang is fine, so don¡¯t worry Wenwan, he will take care of anything.  Just say that she is not free and is busy.  If there is a chance in the future, we will get together to eat together again, forget it now.  It was useless to send a message, so Ping Xiangxi came to invite him himself.

    "Princess, those rumors about you being unfaithful and unfilial have just passed. If the fifth master comes to invite you in person now, but you don't even come over for a reunion dinner during the festival, you must not be accused of being disobedient and unfilial." Gu.  Mammy advised Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan is very impatient, it is obviously deceiving the world and stealing reputation.  But in this society, a bad reputation is a fatal blow to a woman.  Otherwise, she wouldn't need to be so taboo. She couldn't get rid of it after suffering so much cowardice, so she could only succumb to reality in a depressed manner.  As soon as he arrived at the fifth room of the Ping family, Ping Xiangxi called Shang Tang to the study, where the two talked for a long time.

    "Princess, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, come and walk around more." Mrs. Fan struck up a conversation.  Wen Wan gave her a cold look, turned her head, and followed Xia Ying's conversation.  Mrs. Fan thought Wen Wan was asking Xia Ying to translate, but she didn't know that Xia Ying didn't care about her at all and just laughed to herself along with Wen Wan.  Mrs. Fan's face turned red and she was a little angry.

    After all the dishes were served, Ping Xiangxi brought Shang Tang out. Shang Tang had a confused look on his face.There is a sense of gratitude.  This cheap dad is so kind to his nephew, but to himself, huh.

    "What kind of food are you serving here? You deliberately don't want others to eat it, right?" Qingshan looked at the dishes on the table, but none of them were what she liked. She immediately threw her chopsticks and lost her temper.

    "These are the princess's favorite foods. It's a rare occasion for the princess to come back and cook some of her favorite dishes. As a sister, don't you think you can even give in to your sister?" Mrs. Fan said.  On the side, he was admonishing calmly.

    "Huh, let me do whatever you want her to do. Who in the capital doesn't know that she makes a fortune every day, and she eats delicacies every day. I haven't seen her give me anything good, so I have to let her do whatever I do." Qingshan said very  cried in displeasure.

    Wen Wan just ate the food gently without giving any response.

    "Look at her, does she take me seriously? Dad, don't you always teach us that the family must be in harmony. Now, you should let my princess give us harmony. She has so much money,  No matter what, you have to use part of it to support the family. Why do you work so hard to support the family, but she, your daughter, is not considerate at all?" Qingshan shouted angrily.

    Wenwan pretended that she didn¡¯t have ears.  Continue to chew the rice in your mouth carefully.  He pretended not to notice the strange looking person on the table.

    "Qingshan, you are not allowed to say this again in the future. Although the princess can make money and earn a lot of money, she earned it all by herself. She did not use a penny of the family's money as capital, and she used all her private property.  The money earned can only be regarded as her private money. How can dad let his daughter use private money to support the family? This is not ridiculous. How can dad see anyone after hearing this?  No matter what Xi said, he got angry first, put down his chopsticks, and scolded.

    Mrs. Fan¡¯s expression changed.  At the moment, he lowered his head and felt a little annoyed.  Shang Lin shouted, "Private money, her private money is more than our family's property. It's not an exaggeration to give some to our family. Brother, do you think so?"

    "No matter how much there is, it's not something we can worry about. When the family was divided, we also divided a lot of land, shops, and two houses. Dad received a monthly salary. Life was not difficult, and the family had no shortage.  Our food and clothing. What do you do with the princess's money? What does it have to do with us? A gentleman should be content with what he has.  If you want money, earn it yourself." Shang Qi answered unhappily.

    "Brother, who are you talking to? Why do you always speak for her? What benefits has she given you?" Qingshan couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and fired at her own brother.

    "I'm just telling the truth truthfully." Shang Qi also had a headache when his younger brothers and sisters were like this.  I don¡¯t know what happened.  I would say gentle to my own family.  Although it's not good, it's definitely not bad.  They were originally half-siblings, but they didn't live together.  It's normal not to be close.  Now Wen Wan's status is also valuable, and her things cannot be likened.  willing to give.  That was because she was filial and unwilling to give, so what could they do.  If you yell and scream, you will be given.  Why are all of them so confused and so emotional towards her?

    "Brother, tell me. Should she use part of the money to supplement the family income?" Qingshan looked at Shang Tang who remained silent and turned to face Shang Tang.

    Shang Tang didn¡¯t know how to answer their sudden questions.  It¡¯s not an answer, it¡¯s also not an answer. In the end, looking at Wen Wan who remained motionless, ¡°I have nothing to say no matter what Wen Wan does. The capital for doing business is all the dowry money left by my mother to my sister. If my sister is willing to give some of it, naturally  That's right. It's natural that my sister doesn't want to. We don't have to spend a penny on food and clothing at home, so why should Wenwan have to use the money to support the family?  To support the family, speaking out will also hinder my father's official reputation. "What do you think?"

    Successfully kicked the ball to Ping Xiangxi, and everyone looked at the leader.  Ping Xiangxi moved his lips but said no more.  Looking back at Wen Wan, I was very disappointed. Wen Wan was still eating there slowly, and it tasted very delicious, as if the food was the most delicious thing in the world.

    "I specially ordered the cook to make this, and all the dishes are what the princess likes to eat. It seems that all my efforts are not in vain." Mrs. Fan looked at it and said with a smile.

    "Ah, that's impossible. Wen Wan hates eating those shredded radish, bitter gourd vegetables, and pickled green vegetables. The vegetables above are all things Wen Wan doesn't like to eat. Where did you find out about this?" I started to think it was a mistake.  Listen, at this moment, Shang Tang couldn't help but ask.

    Mrs. Fan¡¯s face turned red when she saw Wen Wan only holding three bowls of vegetables from beginning to end.  This damn concierge took his own money and gave himself wrong information.

    Wen Wan put down her chopsticks and looked at Shang Tang, "The princess said she has finished eating. Ask the young master if you have finished eating. If you have finished eating too, then let's go back together."

    "After eating, we will go backGo ahead." After saying that, he apologized to Ping Xiangxi and prepared to leave with Wen Wan. He was stopped by Ping Xiangxi.

    "This is your attitude as a child." Ping Xiangxi looked very unhappy.

    "The princess asked you, what do they mean by this? Could it be that they want to give half of the property to you, or to your daughter or son?" Ping Xiangxi was choked to the point of speechlessness.

    "What do you mean by your daughter or son? Are you not my father's daughter?" Qingshan snapped.

    "Even a cat or a dog will treat their kittens and cubs well. What about you? What kind of father are you?" Xia Ying answered without waiting for Wen Wan to say anything.

    "If you are not a parent, then you are still a parent. If you are capable, you should not be named Ping." Qingshan stared at Wen Wan, feeling very angry.

    "Qingshan, shut up, I won't treat you as a mute if you don't speak." Shang Lin scolded.  Looking at his angry brother.  Qingshan was still a little scared and stopped talking.

    "Dad, my sister and I are going back." Shang Tang looked embarrassed and quickly interrupted.

    "I'll see you off." Mrs. Fan knew that her goal of starting a business partnership with Wen Wan today would not be achieved.  I will slowly look for opportunities in the future.

    Even when she was going out, Aunt Fan kept urging Wen Wan, and very tenderly asked Wen Wan to come back more often.  Wenwan is three steps away from her.  Aunt Fan arrived at the door and wanted to hold Wen Wan's hand, but Wen Wan gave her a cold look.

    Grandma Gu said disdainfully, "You are worthy of touching the princess."

    Aunt Fan successfully made her face turn pale and red.  Red and white.  Ping Xiangxi wanted to scold him, but when he saw Wen Wan smiling, he was holding something shiny in his hand. He seemed to have a big steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, making him unable to say anything.  .

    I¡¯m still confused here.  Somehow, Shang Tang, who was standing on the other side, suddenly reached Aunt Fan and bumped into the big-bellied woman.  Shang Tang was shocked.  Fortunately, Xia Ying pulled her away at the last moment, but Aunt Fan fell into the arms of a maid.  Knocked the maid to the ground.  There was a rush.  Then I asked the doctor and prescribed medicine.

    "Don't get involved with our princess in this game of competing for favor between your wives and concubines. If it happens again, I don't mind giving it a push." ??Xia Ying said with disdain.  Wen Wan made a few strokes on the side.

    "Master, the princess said. It's better not to ask her to come here in the future. It's very unlucky. Don't always think about using filial piety to suppress yourself, which will make the princess angry and no one will get the good fruit." After Xia Ying finished speaking,  He saw Wen Wan holding her stomach and squatting on the ground in pain.

    "Princess, Princess, what's wrong with you? Doctor, go and ask for the doctor, go quickly." Xia Ying was startled.  She didn't think Wen Wan was faking it.

    "The princess has eaten something that is incompatible with each other. Fortunately, it is relatively mild. If it were more severe, it would be life-threatening. You have to be careful in the future." Doctor Wang also said with some worry.

    "Tell me, did you do it on purpose?" Xia Yingying asked Second Grandma Fan angrily.

    "Princess. Master, I really don't have it. I don't know what's going on." Wen Wan took the medicine.  much better.  He glanced at the people around him with disgust.  Let the sedan be carried over.  Went home.

    Ping Xiangxi is angry and hateful, but he can't get angry.  In the past, the emperor could punish even the favored concubines in the palace, let alone his little self.  I originally wanted to ease the relationship, but now it seems that this knot will never be untied!  Moreover, she still had her own shortcomings.  Let¡¯s pretend this daughter has never been born from now on!  It¡¯s better to have less contact.

    "Princess, we checked and found nothing. That woman, she just wants to curry favor with you. I don't think there is a need to harm you." Xia Ying couldn't figure it out either.

    "It's not her, it should be An's. But, strange, I am so strict here, she can't possibly know that I like what I eat. There is still a big problem here!" Wen Wan sneered.  If there is anything left to say, there must be someone behind this.  Who would actually want to put himself to death?  Fortunately, I didn't eat much, so I saw the imperial doctor as soon as I noticed something was wrong.  Otherwise, it would have to be scrapped inexplicably.

    "Princess, don't worry, I will let her die quietly." Xia Ying asked.

    "No need, let her live well, live well." A cold light flashed in Wen Wan's eyes.  It was so fast that Xia Ying thought it was an illusion.

    In fact, this incident was a complete accident (but everyone is overly concerned).  Doctor Wang said that he also felt strange.  The food that day was completely incompatible with each other.  Therefore, he suspected that one of the dishes was incompatible with one of the medicines Wen Wan took every day, which was why there was a slight poisoning.  Therefore, he has been testing it these past few days, and he has actually discovered it.  Tell her to be careful in the future.  Wrote it againPlease pay more attention to this.

    Wen Wan asked in confusion, "Didn't you know this before?"

    Doctor Wang shook his head, "I really haven't discovered it before, this is the first time I have discovered it."

    Wen Wan was depressed. She didn¡¯t expect that she would be a guinea pig for a while, looking for injustice.  However, after this experience, Wen Wan asked Dr. Wang to compare the previous items and gain a detailed understanding of the mutual restraints between foods.  Wen Wan felt that if we encountered something like this once, and if we encountered it again, we would definitely be able to travel through time again if we really died.

    However, she felt that she was really a member of the fifth family, and she was no match for the members of the Ping family.  It's not her who defeats them, it's them who defeat her.  Every time I see him, nothing good happens.

    After the hot filial piety period, I also got in touch with several sisters.  Now among the eight people, three are engaged.  There are four left, Ruyu, Meier, Jingqiu, Yutong, and Wenwan.

    The reason why Ruyu didn't get engaged was because the Hai family had rules that a woman must pass the ceremony before she could get engaged.  Yutong didn't think so, because she was the same age as Wenwan and was only 10 years old now, which was very young.

    Meier helped Mrs. Hua manage the house during the Chinese New Year and managed it in an orderly manner.  Word spread.  Silently breaking the rumor that Mei'er didn't know anything about common people, but only knew about romance.  Now matchmakers have crossed the threshold.  It was because of what happened before, her mother said, she had to be careful this time and look at it carefully.  To avoid having to worry about something like that happening again.

    Jingqiu is actually only 11 years old after the Chinese New Year, but she is always very sad.  When Wen Wan saw it, she felt confused and thought, she must not be feeling springy at such a young age!  Moreover, for always being so sad, someone who didn't know it thought he owed her money.  Instinctively, Wen Wan doesn't like Jing Qiu very much.  However, the favor must still be given.  If it weren't for her bad looks, I really wouldn't want to associate with her.

    After asking, I found out that the master Ruyu hired for his younger brother taught him for a while and said that rotten wood cannot be carved.  It means that the roots have been broken, and it is difficult to pull it back. Unless it is put into a military camp to experience and really make him endure hardship, otherwise, it will not work.  Her brother was not a person who could endure hardships. When he found out, he was shocked and his stepmother begged for mercy.

    When Wen Wan heard this, she praised her again, knowing that the stepmother's strategy was successful.  But thinking about the gossip I heard before.  I think that woman who sacrificed herself for her brother is indeed admirable.  Hey, the women here can do just a few tricks here and there, and they only have one-third of an acre of land.  Not interesting.  However, in this world, the life span of women is too short, and many of them cannot pass the birth stage, which is why so many stepmothers are born.

    The only thing that is different from the previous one is that several other people are joking.  Because Wen Wan wants to call Zhenzhen sister-in-law, and calls her again and again, but we are all a family anyway.  So, very funny.  Originally, Yuxiu knew that she was engaged to another person and felt a little sorry for Wenwan.  But later on when I ordered Zhenzhen, I felt like it was nothing.  It is true that marriage is determined by fate.

    Shangtang is now the grandson-in-law of the Prime Minister, and those people will also give him some face.  Therefore, no one made things difficult.  In addition, Wen Wan sent some delicious food to Shang Tang every once in a while, which made Shang Tang become a good friend.  As the saying goes, eating people has short mouths, and taking people has short hands.  Shangtang is also a generous person. He works in the household department. He has always been conscientious and does not cheat or cheat.  No one else can find fault with him.  Life was going pretty well.  (To be continued)
