Wenwan lived a very peaceful life. She got up in the morning to exercise, went to school after dinner, and at night read the accounts, listened to gossip, and did embroidery. Her current life was a typical life of a lady in ancient times. Such a peaceful and peaceful life made her feel at ease. But when she heard a piece of news, she thought about it again.
"Princess, the head of the Cao Gang is dead. The second head, Li Fang, has taken the position and should now be called the head." Wen Wan's expression changed after hearing the most heartbreaking news reported by Xia Ying. After letting Xia Ying go out, he entered the study and stayed in the study for more than an hour. When she came out again, she looked happy. Sure enough, big risks bring big rewards! In this way, her four hundred thousand taels would be doubled.
After thinking about it for a while, someone sent a letter to Yu Feiyang. She just said that if possible, the master behind them agreed, and she would treat the 400,000 taels of silver as her share of the stock. It doesn't matter if the proportion is smaller. Wenwan went there with the attitude of giving it a try. If you can get in, it's naturally good. If she couldn't get in, she had nothing to lose.
What Wen Wan never imagined was that she was in a very secluded small room. Li Fangzheng stood respectfully in front of a man. And this man is Prince Hao, whom Wen Wan heard said that he was just doing it on the side.
"Haha, you are so courageous. Such a big piece of meat. She is an orphan with no power and only the name of a noble princess, but she dares to want to share a piece of it." Prince Hao laughed.
"Your Majesty, will you give this share to her?" Li Fang asked carefully.
"Since she dares to enter, there is nothing I dare not give. This child is really audacious. However, he is smarter than a monkey. It is also very painful. When the situation was unclear, I said I would lend the money to Yu Feiyang. Now. When the situation became clear, she said she wanted to take a stake. If my guess is correct, she must have just wanted to make a profit. If you lose, I guess she will not fulfill her promise. Yes, I think this girl is a person who can't afford to be early. You think too highly of her character. This girl is essentially a businessman. I don't know. How did she develop her courage? But she is extremely cautious in doing things. Forget it, give her five points and let her take advantage of it. Think of it as a gift from my uncle and grandpa. "Prince Hao got so much information about Wen Wan that he could guess Wen Wan's temperament at once.
Wen Wan got back her principal of 300,000 yuan. I invested 100,000 taels of silver into a five-cent share (5% of the shares). A five-cent share can earn a profit of 70,000 to 80,000 taels a year. This deal is truly a good deal. It can be regarded as Wenwan among all the properties under her name now. The most promising industry. If Wen Wan knew that this share was actually based on her uncle's favor, she would never take advantage of it.
Wenwan got the contract and happily put it in her little pear wood box. Xia Ying looked at her face. I can't even hide the smile on my face. Even the servants in the mansion felt the good mood of their princess. No. Ordered a snack at noon.
The name of gentle and stingy is not false. In the mansion, the amount of money that should be paid will not be less. But for daily meals, only during holidays, there would be two more meat dishes on the table. Even though he made so much money, he never gave any reward to his servants. Although the amount of money will not be small, but he wants more rewards. Anyway, even Butler Xia has never received any from him except for the beating last time. But Butler Xia is very loyal. He knew very clearly that the honor and disgrace of his life were all tied to Wen Wan, and he had never thought of embezzlement or extortionate money. Wen Wan is also very clear about this. So I am very satisfied with summer.
Xia Ying couldn¡¯t figure it out. She is a noble princess. She already has a fortune, and even if she doesn't buy shares, her annual income is more than 100,000 taels. She also has her own fiefdom. It can be said that even if she sits at home and does nothing, her money will not be lost. Why do you just get into money like this? Even if I had suffered from poverty at that time, there was no reason to be like a miser, who could only get in but not get out.
In fact, Prince Hao and Master Luo Liu worked together on this water transport incident, and Xia Ying got the news. But she concealed her gentleness. She also knew very well that Wen Wan was able to get five shares because the prince did not want the shares in the water transport, so Prince Hao gave the shares to the princess to give the prince face. She was afraid that after Wen Wan found out, she would use the prince's connections to make money. She was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that Wen Wan actually dared to use money to invest in Caogang's stocks, she didn't dare to make any decisions. She wrote to ask the prince what he meant, but the prince sent a message saying that he would not let her tell the princess. She watched what the princess did, and as long as it wasn't something excessive and treacherous, she would just obey her orders.
But she really didn¡¯t expect that the princess would be so bold. She dares to ask for such money. Who would dare to ask for the Caobang's shares without power? While she was frightened, she couldn't see through the person she wanted to serve. Want to talk about herI don't like money, and I have been desperately trying to make money in the past few years. She loves money. Over the past few years, as usual, the jewelry she wears is either jade or pearls, saying that wearing these things can nourish people. She basically doesn't wear those expensive jewelry with gold, silver and precious stones. She doesn't usually like to buy expensive things. She keeps getting more and more money, but I don't know how much she likes money. Just like this time, 400,000 yuan was spent on gambling. To her, the money seemed to be just a number, not money.
¡°To be honest, she really can¡¯t see through it. They say they love money, but it's not like they would let their personal maids pick out something valuable if they got it. The crystal-clear pearls were given to them to make jewelry. She said she didn't like money, but in the past few years, apart from being more generous to a few girls, she really had never seen the princess be more generous. Although the servants would take two days of rest every month, since she moved out and earned so much money, she did not see her adding monthly money to the people in the mansion. On weekdays, if the expenses were a little more, Xia Tian would have to take care of them. The whole ins and outs were explained clearly, he was stingy as hell, and everyone in the mansion knew about it.
Xia Ying thought about it for many days, but couldn't figure out what went wrong. Ahem, forget it, I don¡¯t want to anymore. Her master is like a mystery, so she should think less about it. Think more. You will grow old quickly. Because no matter how much I think about it, I still can¡¯t think clearly. It's better to be her bodyguard.
Xianfu Palace
¡°You said that girl got involved with the Caobang??¡± Concubine Xian, who always had a gentle face, was a little surprised at this moment. I didn¡¯t expect that girl to love money so much.
"Yes, the news has been confirmed. This time is not as good as last time. This time, even the contract has been signed. Unexpectedly, she dared to even buy Caobang's shares. Although Caobang's shares were doubled But without a certain background, trying to get a piece of the soup is like asking for death." Hua Qiong next to him answered.
"Then there is no news from Prince Zheng?" Concubine Xian looked over.
Hua Qiong shook her head and said, "No, I haven't heard anything about it. This princess is the only one I have in the Qi Dynasty. She is very capable of making money, but her stingy temper is really unbearable." . I don¡¯t know if this noble princess was afraid of poverty when she was young, so she loved money so much.¡±
Concubine Xian thought about the last time Wen Wan was almost strangled to death, but in the end she had to pay nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver. Instead, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the aloof and aloof Fu Hui would have such a daughter. I really can't explain things in the world."
Naturally, it¡¯s not just the Concubine Xian who is paying attention to her. Interested groups will get the news as soon as possible. Among them, the Su family. Also included in this.
"That girl Wen Wan also bought five-cent shares in water transportation? How is this possible?" Su Xian heard the news and after confirming it was true, he hurriedly went to find his father. Tell his father about this. He felt that Wen Wan was really crazy about money. This kind of money. She dared to enter.
When Su Xiang got the news, he didn't say anything for a long time. Su Xian was disappointed and uncomfortable. "Dad, how can Wen Wan be liked by the emperor? How can we change the emperor's attitude towards Prince Zheng? Dad, it seems that the choice of prince is none other than Prince Zhao."
Su Xiang glanced at his son, shook his head and said, "Whether Prince Zheng can be selected, although gentleness may play some role, it will definitely not be the decisive role. Besides, as long as she is there, she has already played a decisive role." She should have the role. The reason why the emperor has not found a suitable candidate for so many years is that King Zhao is good, but he has a fatal weakness as a king. But he must not be stubborn and arrogant. Now that the emperor is holding him down and Prince Zheng is whipping him, he can still endure his nature and become the crown prince. As an emperor, he will no longer suppress his nature. As a king, the most important thing is to accommodate Baichuan, so that he can become a qualified prince and benefit the people of the world. But everyone outside said that King Zhao is good at everything. This shortcoming of his is fatal.¡±
Su Xian nodded. He had heard his father talk about this matter a long time ago.
But Su Xiang still frowned, looked at his son, and asked, "Xian'er, you have met Wen Wan a few times. You can make your own judgment. Do you think Wen Wan is a money-grubbing person?"
"UmDad, is there something wrong?" Su Xian really couldn't say. Seeing his father's thoughtful look on his face, he was a little surprised.
Su Xiang nodded and said, "I always feel that Wen Wan's behavior in the past few years is a bit strange and even hard to see through. You said she loves money, but she can share shares with others in a huge and profitable industry like Mingyue Villa, while she only has two It's a stock. You said she doesn't love money, but she even dared to get involved in water transportation. That was a smart kid who should know that this is not just a stock in water transportation.Something as simple as a business. My father has been an official for so many years and has looked at countless people. I am confident that I will not make mistakes. This girl is not someone who loves money. If he really loved money, he wouldn't have just donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to the clan. But if she doesn't love money, the things she does are incomprehensible. "
After hearing his father's words, Su Xian felt strange, "I also think this child is not a money-seeking person. But if she is really not a money-seeking person, why does she act like she is desperate for money?" . This is a bit contradictory. Maybe this girl doesn¡¯t like money on the surface. In fact, she is still a money-loving person. She has suffered so much, so she feels that money is the greatest protection. ?¡±
When Su Xiang heard this, his eyes lit up. He finally figured out the problem that he had been unable to figure out for more than a year. This girl was so scheming that she almost deceived him.
Su Xian knew his father very well. From the look on his face, he knew that his father had figured this out. He asked softly, "Dad, have you thought of something?"
Su Xiang nodded with a smile, "This child is indeed your aunt's bloodline. She is so smart. If I am not wrong, she shows she loves money so much and is so desperate to make money. She is doing it for others to see. ¡±
"Ah? Who does she want to show to, and why does she want to show it to others? Does anyone want to do harm to her? No, the emperor loves her so much, how could he let others harm her?" Su Xian thought It doesn't make sense, it feels weird. But he always believed in his father.
"Why not? In the past three years, Wen Wan has made a lot of money just because she is smarter. But her reputation has also been ruined. She is a noble princess personally named by the emperor, and she has an imperial gift. The golden whip is in hand. Who would dare to spread rumors like this? Once discovered, there will be countless troubles. But it is completely different in Wenwan. . Within a day, everyone in the streets knew what she had done. She beat her stepmother, whipped the maid next to her, and paralyzed her. But the people who spread the news only told the results, but not the reasons. . If there is such a family matter, it will usually be kept hidden, and the Heing family will never spread it outside."
Su Xian thought about it and felt that this was the case. Otherwise, Wen Wan's reputation would not be so bad. "But even if someone wants to embarrass her, there is no need to pretend to be desperate for money. What does this have to do with those who framed her? Could it be that she desperately wants to Can money dispel the doubts of those who want to frame her? "
The expression in Su Xiang's eyes was very complicated. "Yes, you are indeed right. She just wants to use her shortcoming of asking for money to make people who are always following her secretly dispel their doubts and suspicions about her. If not In this way, she has made friends with King Chun, King Hai, and our Su family. Those people in the dark have already dealt with her because of her greed. It¡¯s best to control her, so the people in the dark didn¡¯t deal with her.¡±
Su Xian was a little surprised, "Dad, you are talking about Concubine Xian and King Zhao. As for them, they are just a child, only a nine-year-old child. Is it necessary to be so careful? Dad, are you thinking too much. Then How can a child think of so many things and have such deep thoughts when she is only nine years old? Could it be that she loves money? "
Su Xiang shook his head, "No, that child is definitely not a money-hungry person. Looking at her behavior in the past three years, she should be an extremely noble person like her grandmother and mother. I was there before Because Concubine Xian always stared at such a child, maliciously slandered Wen Wan, and felt that she was really making a fuss and acting like a villain. Now it seems that Concubine Xian has been able to stay in the harem for forty years, which is why she is extraordinary. But, I think she never dreamed that Wen Wan would turn out to be a more cunning and intelligent child than she imagined. It¡¯s really unclear who will win in this battle. "
Su Xian had some doubts, "But Dad, we can't just judge that King Zheng will definitely win over King Zhao. Moreover, King Zheng is too cruel. He killed many people in Yizhou in order to rectify Yizhou. Like this If a person is really a prince, he may become an emperor in the future, but he may also become a tyrannical king.¡±
Su Xiang shook his head, "No, King Zheng suffered a lot when he was a child, and Du Ronghua was extremely cruel to him, so he has a somewhat violent temperament. As long as you understand why your aunt transferred him back then, and understand the reasons , this anger in him can be resolved. With King Zheng's talent, he will definitely be able to create a peaceful and prosperous era. In the past three years, King Zheng's behavior has become much gentler, and his attitude towards the emperor has also improved a lot. The great changes continued every month, and the emperor's attitude towards him became more and more gentle. He even gave him a reward on his birthday during the New Year, which was exactly the same treatment as King Zhao. Important ifUnless he had already made up his mind, he would never be allowed to secretly develop his power in the capital. In the past three years, even I don't know how powerful King Zheng has become secretly in the capital. "
Su Xian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Dad, do you mean that the emperor prefers Prince Zheng?"
Su Xiang shook his head, "I can only say that now King Zheng and King Zhao belong to the fifth. Who should be appointed as the crown prince depends on the emperor's attitude. But I always have a feeling. I think that girl Wen Wan, It might change things.¡±
Su Xiang looked at his son's hesitant expression and said with a smile, "This is just a feeling I have. Although I can't express it, I just have this idea. This child is hard to figure out. If she wants to take action , and what kind of tricks he will have. Let alone other things, at least Prince Zheng has Wen Wan as his help, which is equivalent to having an extra arm. "
Su Xian nodded. If Wen Wan is as hidden as his father said, it will indeed be a great help to Prince Zheng. It's not an exaggeration to say arms. But, I hope it¡¯s just like what dad said. That child is an extremely smart and thoughtful person. Not as he thought. He is a child who desperately wants money and loves money.
¡°If Wen Wan knew such a comment, she would have hugged her uncle¡¯s thigh and cried bitterly. My uncle, as the Prime Minister of the world, you actually said that you have to rely on intuition. It will deceive the people of the world. He also tricked her into it. It is too much to describe her as such a scheming woman. Is there such a person as an elder?
??Bajing Alley
"Young Master. The princess said that you will accompany her to burn incense in two days." Shang Tang was a little strange, but since Wen Wan opened her mouth, she naturally responded. Returned to the Yamen. I asked for leave.
On this day, Shang Tang followed Wen Wan to a temple to offer incense. Shang Tang walked. I find it strange that I have never been to this section of road before. But the road is easy to walk, and the roadside environment is also very good. There are many wild flowers on the roadside, and the fragrance is amazing. Birds flew overhead, looking very leisurely. It took about an hour and a half before we arrived.
After getting off the sedan chair, Shang Tang looked at the temple and thought he had come to the wrong place! That temple is very small. Maybe the yard where I live is bigger. Wen Wan was very surprised as to why she came to this yard.
"Young master, this temple is called Xianxia Temple. Although it is small, the incense is very strong. It is said that it is here to pray for peace. It is 100% effective. I heard that many people also call it Ping An Temple" Xia Ying said beside him
Shang Tang looked at Wen Wan strangely, but when he thought about it, Wen Wan was ten years old now, and in a few days, it would be time to get engaged.
"Princess, the lady has arrived early," Shang Tangzheng was surprised and waited inside. Seeing a beautiful woman wearing aqua blue dress standing inside, Shang Tang looked at Wen Wan strangely.
"Master, this is the princess's cousin, Miss Zhenzhen," Xia Ying joked.
Shang Tang immediately turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman carefully. I saw the woman in front of me: wearing a navy blue dress, wearing a cloud-like bun, with a white jade hairpin with two butterflies playing in the clouds. Her face is as beautiful as the bright moon, shining like jade, and there is a faint aura of books between her eyebrows.
When Shang Tang saw it, his eyes were full of joy. This was his fianc¨¦e. He didn't expect that his fianc¨¦e was so beautiful, and she looked like a woman who read poetry and books. Although the two are cousins, they have never met each other. This is the first time I want to see it.
"Master, what's the matter? Miss Zhenzhen is also your cousin. It's rude to look at someone like this." Xia Ying coughed.
"Yes, yes, I'm rude. I apologize to my cousin." Shang Tang bowed hurriedly. When Zhenzhen was sizing up Shang Tang, he was also sizing up Shang Tang.
When Shang Tang came out this time, Wen Wan gave special instructions, saying that he wanted to meet relatives. Let him dress up specially. I saw Shangtang: wearing a jade hairpin on his head, an azurite elastic silk brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a string of Buddhist beads on his left wrist, and a pair of ink-colored soap shoes. . Her skin is slightly white (it was originally fair and rosy, but Wen Wan couldn't look at it. She is too fair-faced. She has been specially allowed to tan in the past two years, but she has only tanned a little). Her whole person looks fresh, handsome, and graceful, which is what a girl thinks. The best husband candidate (genetics is very important).
I really lowered my head and blushed slightly when I saw it, but I really liked it in my heart. The personal maid Lu Yan beside her was fascinated by it. Wen Wan couldn't help but laugh at it. It's good to have a pair of skins. Now, even the maid is fascinated.
??Looking at the other mother next to her who must be a nurturing mother, she also looked very satisfied. Shangtang's gentle and elegant behavior added a lot of points to this meeting.
"Go outside to see how the vegetarian food is arranged?" Xia Ying saw Wen Wan letting the two of them meet and look at each other. At this moment, both of them were very satisfied. The purpose of gentleness has been achieved. Xia Ying naturally wanted to drive Shang Tang out.
When you meet someone, you just give them a passing glance. He asked Shang Tang to go to the front yard. The back yard was a resting place for the women. The two met once and never said goodbye. Wen Wan just wanted the two of them to talk and talk. Not to mention Grandma Gu, Xia Ying and the others did not agree. Even Zhenzhen¡¯s personal nanny doesn¡¯t agree! It would just be a greeting between cousins ??and nothing much would be said. It would be inconsistent with etiquette to stay any longer. Even if Wenwan wanted them to fall in love first, it would be impossible.
¡°Sister, it¡¯s true, you didn¡¯t tell me earlier. It made me so rude,¡± Shang Tang complained. Wen Wan smiled, if I had told you earlier, there wouldn¡¯t be such a wonderful scene.
"Mother Jin, how are you?" Mrs. Su naturally knew Ping Xiangxi, but it was just for socializing before. I didn¡¯t even ask about my character or temperament. In order not to arouse any suspicion, I did not go. But I was still worried, fearing that I was a crooked melon and a bad date. It used to be a very simple thing in normal times, but now it's because it's the filial piety period, and because there was an excuse for liking each other before. We were going to see each other again, and I was afraid that there would be something to say, so I kept putting it off.
"Our young lady likes our future uncle very much when she sees her. And the future uncle also looks at our young lady with admiration in his eyes, but there is no blasphemy. He seems to be a polite person, and he is actually a good person. Follow The young master is almost the same." Grandma Jin said one by one.
"It looks like he is indeed a good one. I saw him before, but I didn't pay much attention to him. I didn't expect this day to come. You should know that you should have taken the school entrance examination before." Mrs. Su felt a little relieved now. Mother Jin is a capable person around her, and she still has a good eye for judging people.
"I've told you earlier, Madam, please don't worry. There won't be any big problems with people who have met the Prime Minister and the Master. If you still don't worry now, wait for some time. Put the princess and the future uncle Please come to the house and take a good look for yourself," Jin's mother said with a smile.
"Let's wait until the Chinese New Year." Mrs. Su hesitated for a while, but was still more cautious.
Since that day, Wen Wan¡¯s life has been very peaceful. Wen Wan has made up her mind to keep her filial piety at home for the past three years. Nothing is mixed up. After three years, I will definitely have to go to the fiefdom. I think I have to go to the fiefdom and stay in this place, which is too frustrating.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so Wenwan plans to go to Zhuangzi to escape the heat in two days. Summer in the capital is really too hot.
"It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations." Every time Wen Wan feels like she can live a peaceful life, something always happens. The things may be big or small, but they all successfully prevent her from wanting to calm down. What happened this time was definitely a big deal for Wen Wan, and it completely overturned Wen Wan's life and overturned all her calculations. Her own life had undergone earth-shaking changes because of this incident. Her peaceful and peaceful days were over. (To be continued)
