Text 146: Hoarding food

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xia Ying has been with Wen Wan for four years, and Xia Ying also knows that Wen Wan loves money very much.  Otherwise, how could she, a child like an orphan, have the courage to get involved in such a large and dangerous business of water transportation?  If it weren't for the fact that Prince Hao was running the bank with his own prince behind the scenes, this matter wouldn't have been settled so quickly, and the princess would have to walk around without food.  What happened last time was extremely thrilling, but no matter what, Prince Hao and his own prince were blocking the way.  This time is different.  If Wen Wan really does it, no one can save her.

    She has been persuading her for the past few days, which made Wen Wan angry and stared at her coldly.  She is not allowed to get closer.  Therefore, I have been praying for the past few days that the prince can quickly write a letter to dissuade the princess, but must not do such a scolded thing.

    "Princess, I would like to see the official Jade." Wen Wan smiled after hearing this.  Unexpectedly, Yu Feiyang actually delivered the banknote to his door.  Naturally, such a large amount of money cannot be raised in one day.  I got the banknote, had my thumbprint pressed, and signed my name.  None of these industries are gentle.

    After Yu Feiyang gave the banknote to Wen Wan, he smiled and said, "Princess, I don't know what I'm talking about. What do you think about it? If you are willing, I will introduce it to you in two days. What do you think?"

    Wen Wan danced happily after hearing this, while Xia Ying had a gloomy face, looking like she wanted to kill the culprit.  If it weren't for him, why would the princess want to start a business of hoarding grain? "The princess said, yes. When will she bring someone to see her. The princess said, she will buy as much grain as they have in hand. If you are willing to introduce it,  , then recommend a few more, one may not be enough.¡±

    Yu Feiyang agreed very readily, "Okay, then I will talk to my friends immediately. I believe it is such a large business. They are very happy to do it."

    Wen Wan was very happy and sent him to the gate in person.  This is already an extremely solemn etiquette for a merchant.  Because the status of merchants was extremely low in this dynasty.  Wen Wan gave him face like this, obviously she was extremely satisfied with his suggestions.  The servants were very surprised to see that their master, who had always been cold and distant towards others, was so interested in a businessman.

    After sending the person away, Wen Wan was still smiling.  The look on his face was as if he had won a grand prize of five million taels.  Everyone in the mansion saw it.

    Send Yu Feiyang away.  Wenwan returned to the study, picked up a pen, and practiced calligraphy.  On weekdays, she usually stays in the study and practices calligraphy.  There were too many things going on these days and she didn't go to school. She decided to give herself a holiday.  Anyway, Happy Academy is not hers now.  It doesn't matter whether she learns or not, she just did it for fun that day.  In fact, it's almost like playing around.

    Wen Wan was practicing calligraphy inside, while Xia Ying stood outside the study door.  Not going in.  Because no matter when, Wen Wan has a rule. When she is practicing calligraphy in the house, no one is allowed in.  Including Xia Ying is no exception.  People from outside are absolutely not allowed to enter her study and clean her study.  Xia Ying and Xia Yu took care of it personally, and no one else was allowed in.  Basically every time the two of them went in, they could always see a pile of ashes burning in the basin.  As for what was burned, both of them knew in their minds that it must be the result of calligraphy practice.  As for why it was burned, it was Wen Wan's quirk.

    What makes Xia Ying strange is that in the past four days, she has been in the basin every day.  It's all a thick pile of ashes.  What are you writing? I have written so much.  I have been practicing calligraphy these past few days, using paper.  Obviously several times more than usual.  Xia Ying couldn't figure out how she behaved as her master.  It is impossible for ordinary people to guess.

    Wen Wan will be practicing in the house as usual, while Xia Ying is guarding outside the house.  Xia Tian hurriedly walked in and said that someone from Yizhou was here.  Xia Ying was overjoyed and shouted loudly outside: "Princess, the prince has sent you a letter urgently from eight hundred miles away."

    Wen Wan was very happy after hearing this.  King Zheng was really fast. In ancient times, it only took five days to send the letter back.  It can be called divine speed.  Isn't Wenwan happy?

    Wenwan and happily went out to meet the people immediately. Xia Yu asked Xia Tian to take the people to the main hall and let them wait outside.  Xia Tian said that he had already led the people to the main hall.  After Wen Wan came out, Xia Ying walked in, preparing to wait until the paper was burned and the fire was out before moving the basin out.  She glanced at the paper still burning in the brazier. There was only one word written on it, a big word "quiet".

    A strange idea flashed through Xia Ying's mind, but she didn't think much about it.  After she waited for the paper to burn, she stepped on the ashes in the brazier and poured the water from the bottle according to Wen Wan's request.  Then take the basin out and give it to the little maid in the second courtyard to dispose of it.  Turned around and went to the main hall.

    Wen Wan met the man, he was a guard-like man.  The guard handed Wen Wan a letter. Wen Wan opened the letter in a hurry. As soon as she opened it, she almost fainted from anger.

    In the letter, King Zheng scolded her to death, saying that she was the emperor's granddaughter and did not want to be loyal to the court.She dared to do such a treasonous and shameful thing to share her worries with her emperor grandfather.  He scolded her for being obsessed with money.  She said that she had nothing to worry about in her life, so what could she do with so much money?  The letter was full of curse words, telling her that she was not allowed to do such outrageous things.  If she dares to be disobedient, if she dares to hoard food again and do such things that harm the country and the people, she will definitely not be spared.  He even wrote threatening words. If she really did such a thing, he would never recognize her as his niece.  He even personally sent her to the clan's mansion and locked her up.  Or send her to a nunnery to eat fast and chant Buddha's name for the rest of her life to atone for her mistakes.

    After Wen Wan read the letter, her eyes glowed green, her fists clenched loudly, and she wanted to punch the author of the letter.  Traveling so far, in such a hurry, just to deliver such a broken letter.  As for the money, she didn't have any cents for the money she wanted, and he even scolded her. Really, she was so angry.  Prince Zheng was too far away for her to hit, but the guard in front of her was not a clear leader.  Wen Wan looked at the guard gloomily. She wanted to give him twenty blows, but she was afraid of being known as unfilial.  But in order to relieve her anger, Xia Tian took a broom and swept people out of her house.  Xia Tian was very loyal. After hesitating for a few seconds, he really used the broom to sweep the people out.  The servants looked at their princess, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, they all lowered their heads as low as possible.

    Wenwan returned to the study and locked herself in the room.  The anger on his face was gone.  But his expression was very tired, and he sat down on the imperial concubine's chair, narrowed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.  After a long time, I opened my eyes, opened the letter again, looked at the harsh and harsh words in the letter, and sighed slightly.  She thought her uncle would be angry and might have harsh words, but she really didn't expect it.  She was scolding her so vigorously, but her uncle didn't even send her a penny. It was really too much.

    Although I told him I didn¡¯t mind, I still wasn¡¯t in a good mood.  He took off the marble paperweight pressed on the white paper and smoothed a piece of white paper with his delicate jade hands.  He raised his pen and dipped it in full ink, and wrote a big word JING on the paper.  Keep writing.  Wen Wan kept writing and she didn¡¯t know how many words she had written.  But my heart still couldn't calm down.

    When waiting to go out, Xia Ying said to her in a low voice that the sign for entering the palace had been put down again.  these five days.  After Wen Wan handed over the sign four times this time, her request to see the emperor was unsuccessful.  They were all blocked back.  The reasons are the same.  The emperor said that he was busy now and had no time to see her.

    The emperor has been really busy recently, and everyone is exhausted from raising disaster funds.  Wen Wan listened and understood very much.  He always looks considerate.

    With a few gentle strokes, I mean.  She, the granddaughter, knew that the emperor's grandfather was ill because of government affairs, and wanted to visit the emperor's grandfather to show her filial piety.  Hopefully those people will be accommodating, if they can.  You can also put some money in it.

    Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan in astonishment. Normally Wen Wan would not even give a reward.  Apart from normal interactions during New Years and holidays, she has never given anyone a gift of one mile of silver.  If it weren't for their persuasion, she wouldn't even be able to give out money to reward people.  Didn't expect this time.  He actually said this proactively.  Xia Ying nodded and went to send a message to Xia Tian.  Summer has gone in a hurry.

    Xianfu Palace

    "This is the fifth time that Wen Wan has submitted a sign to the palace. Let's check to see if she has done anything unusual recently. Ordinarily, at such a critical moment, she would not come to see the emperor without something important." Concubine Xian  After receiving the news, seeing Wen Wan asking to see the emperor again and again, he immediately paid attention to it.  There must be something I don't know about.

    "Your Majesty is too worried. When the princess heard that the emperor was ill, in order to show her filial piety, she naturally asked to see the emperor. It left a good impression of being filial and considerate. The housekeeper in her mansion also gave him twenty taels of silver.  The person who sent the message said that the emperor was ill and the princess wanted to show her filial piety. In recent days, many people came to the palace to see the emperor.  Sons and grandchildren. Otherwise, after the emperor has been busy for a while, he will definitely not want to see her if he has not even handed over the sign of entering the palace. Your princess can only rely on the emperor's protection to protect her.  It¡¯s normal to show filial piety.¡± Grandma Guo thought very realistically.

    "It's possible. However, let them see if there is anything strange about this girl." Concubine Xian thought for a while and nodded.  Soon she knew that there was indeed something strange about Wen Wan.

    Concubine Xian felt a little strange, "Sold all the properties and are preparing to hoard food? I heard that these properties are very profitable. Have you really found out?"

    The palace maid next to her, Hua Qiong, said, "I found out. Yu Feiyang said that he would introduce a big grain merchant to her, and she was so happy to send everyone to the gate. Everyone in the mansion also saw it, and your princess was indeed very happy. Then  The appearance cannot be faked.¡±

    Concubine Xian nodded, "It's better to keep a close eye on her. Besides, sinceIf she wants to buy it, make it convenient for her.  Let her buy more food and make a lot of money.  "

    Hua Qiong nodded.

    Because the people Wenwan sells to are all acquaintances.  Therefore, the request cannot be made public for the time being.  At least for the first two days, no one spread the news.  At that time, Wen Wan also asked them not to tell anyone about it for the time being, for fear that it would bring trouble to herself.

    Everyone knows that with such a huge sum of money, the biggest buyer is also guessing that she wants to hoard food. He is very open-minded and understanding, and he helps to hide it very loyally.  Therefore, people outside only know that Wen Wan is raising money, but do not know that Wen Wan has sold all his properties.

    But those who have acquired property, such as houses, shops, etc., must go to the Yamen to change the contract.  Especially when Yu Feiyang went to the Yamen to change the property under Wen Wan's name.  Those who had been paying close attention to her in the dark soon smelled something unusual.  And the news that Princess Wenwan was selling off all her properties and preparing to hoard food seemed to spread in every corner of the capital within an hour.  Many people talked about it, and it became popular in teahouses and restaurants.

    Wenwan loves silver.  People are vicious and have the temper of a goose plucking its hair.  His reputation was so bad that it could be spread three miles away.  It is very possible for such an unscrupulous person to hoard food, and one cannot help but believe it.  Wen Wan didn't know that her reputation was so great.

    So this incident made many people believe it.  Even those who know her well believe it.  There were endless voices of abuse and contempt.  The censors were also busy writing, preparing to use the sharpest and harshest words to angrily criticize Wen Wan for making the country difficult to make money.  Those who are jealous and envious are ready to hear her scandal.

    So, big eyes and small eyes were all staring at her.  That is to say.  As long as Wen Wan takes action, she will be immediately submerged in the torrent.  Wenwan also lived up to their expectations. She went out every day, either here or there, jumping up and down.  Noisy joy.

    Duke Ping got the news immediately and was in a hurry.  He immediately ran over to Wen Wan and told her about the seriousness of hoarding food.  If she really hoards food.  Not only him, but also the Taira family would be stabbed in the back.  Also, the money she invested will be wasted, even.  Even the emperor would hate her.  Her title will definitely be in jeopardy.

    Wen Wan was still practicing calligraphy in the study at the moment, when she heard that the Duke of Guo was coming.  Come out slowly.  I didn't expect to hear the news as soon as I came out.  She really didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly.  He didn't say anything to Ping Xiangcheng at the moment.  Ping Xiangcheng saw that he had been talking for a long time, but Wenwan didn't hear a word.  He was so angry that he cursed Wen Wan, and Wen Wan asked coldly, if you are jealous, I want to make a lot of money, and I can let you participate in a share.

    Faced with the stubborn Wen Wan, the Duke of Guo was so angry that he scolded her for the first time: "Wen Wan, I haven't paid much attention to the things you did before, because I know you are a well-measured child. But  What happened this time is not trivial. If you really do something that would cause someone to stab you in the back, the Hei family will never tolerate a daughter like you. If you really dare to do such a thing, I will immediately expel you from the Hei family.  My daughter. The reputation of the Heng family is bad enough. I will never allow you to ruin the family tradition again."

    Wen Wan asked in surprise after hearing this.  Xia Ying said with twinkling eyes: "The princess said, does your Ping family still have a good reputation?"

    The Duke was so angry that he turned blue after hearing this, "I tell you, the reason you have such a happy life in the past few years is because the Emperor is protecting you. If you really do such a thing, the Emperor will be disgusted."  If you take away your title, you will have to live your old life again, and you will never have to live like that."

    Seeing Wen Wan¡¯s expressionless face, she even looked at him with a sarcastic expression.  The Duke knew that she would not listen to these words.  But when she left, she was still warned sternly. If she really dared to hoard food, she would definitely regret it. The consequences would not be something she could bear.  The title will definitely be taken away, so let her think about it carefully.  Don't regret your life for temporary benefits.  Be sure to think twice before you act.

    Wen Wan looked at his back and rolled her eyes several times.  It would be great if we could break away from the Taira family this time.  In the past few years, I have not gained any benefits. As for the disadvantages, I don¡¯t know how much money I have spent in unjust money.  However, Wen Wan feels that it may be more troublesome.

    The Duke of Guo returned to the Duke's Mansion and returned to the study angrily.  After a while, he came out and sent someone to invite the elders of the clan, preparing to summon the clan members to remove Wen Wan.  The eldest lady got the news and came to him immediately.  Seeing that he really wanted to remove Wen Wan, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, how can a smart person like Wen Wan not know the seriousness of this matter? How could he do such a stupid thing?"

    The Duke of Guo is still angry at this moment, "Who knows, that girl loves money to the point of wanting money. No one in the capital knows this. She might be going crazy because she wants money."

    The eldest lady shook her head, "It's impossible, even if she asks for money again,?If you like money, you can't do such stupid things.  That child was very smart and smart. It was impossible for her not to know that once she did such a thing, she would definitely be rejected by the emperor.  Without the Emperor's care, what would she have left?  She, a powerless orphan, was able to hold on to such a huge estate.  Moreover, in order to make this money, even the hard-earned title will be reduced.  Do you think this makes sense?  Even if she doesn't know the seriousness of this matter, don't the people around her know it.  Wouldn¡¯t the people around her advise her?  If she knew the seriousness of this matter, so serious that even the title she relied on for survival would be taken away, would she do such a thing?  "

    The Duke calmed down after hearing this.  But then she got frustrated. "If she doesn't want to do such a thing, then why did she raise such a large sum of money?"

    The eldest lady shook her head and said she didn't know, "Although I don't know what she is raising and selling off her property for. However, I believe that she will never do such a thing. Master, don't be in a hurry now. Let's see what's going on in this child's mind."  , no one can guess. If she really did such a thing, it would not be too late to be expelled from the clan, right?"

    The Duke of Guo thought about it and thought so.  Even if he expels Wen Wan from the clan now, others will still know that she is a daughter of the Taira family.  It doesn't make any difference whether it's one day earlier or one day later.  Let's see for a moment what that girl wants to do.

    Prince Hao's Mansion

    "Hoarding food? This girl has a bad temper. I may not believe others, but it is really possible that she wants to hoard food." Prince Hao frowned.

    "Your Majesty, if Princess Wen Wan really does this, then Prince Zheng may be dragged down by him." The man next to him said with a frown.

    "What's the point of not being a drag? Hongzhang is so far away, how can someone still blame him for this? You are totally overthinking. It doesn't matter if you make a fuss like this or create a reputation as a money-hungry person.  No need to worry about those people anymore. Hongzhang will be able to give up." Prince Hao sighed.  The expression on his face softened instead.

    "Princess, the official Yu Feiyang and Yu are outside asking for an audience." When Wen Wan heard this, she looked a little worried. When she saw Yu Feiyang, her expression was not good, and she was embarrassed.

    Yu Feiyang dismissed everyone, leaving only Xia Ying on one side. "Princess, you don't speak secretly in front of famous families. In Jiangnan, I have several friends who are big grain merchants. As long as you are willing, I can help you give  Contact them. I can purchase a large amount of grain from them. I have already agreed with them that I can meet with them as long as the princess sets a time. I don¡¯t know what.  There is time.¡±

    Wen Wan closed her eyes, she didn't want the person in front of her to see through her thoughts.  I kept my eyes closed, spinning in my mind.  Opening her eyes, she smiled again. After a few strokes, Xia Ying changed her face and said, "Princess, you can't. Absolutely not."

    Yu Feiyang can probably guess what Wen Wan wants to say, "Don't worry, Princess, I can definitely give you the best price. I just don't know how much the Princess plans to use as capital. I can count on it."

    Wen Wan patted the table. After thinking for a long time, she stopped writing and just wrote a number.

    Yu Feiyang stood up, "Okay, this can be regarded as a deposit for the time being. In this way, I can introduce a good friend named Wen to the princess. If the princess plans to increase the purchase quantity in the future, I will recommend other products to the princess.  Several grain merchants.¡±

    Wen Wan looked at Xia Ying who looked like he was about to kill someone. She paused and made a few strokes.  Seeing that Xia Ying refused to translate, he had to write on the paper, "My uncle doesn't allow me to do this business. I don't want to do it."

    Official Jade looked at Xia Ying next to him who looked like he was going to kill him. He was not afraid at all and said with a smile, "What's the point, Princess, this is a rare opportunity. Maybe it will be a very profitable business."  Go and ask, the food supply in the capital has already increased by 40%. I think it will be doubled in less than ten days. The county chief cannot make up his mind and misses this opportunity.  Such a good opportunity is gone.¡±

    There was a strong struggle in Wen Wan's eyes. She leaned on her Eight Immortals chair, closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.  Finally, he opened his eyes suddenly, nodded and wrote two words, "See you in Jinxiu Building tomorrow morning."

    Yu Feiyang looked overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's settled. I'll go and beg my friend. The princess wants to buy the grain from him. I believe in the princess's integrity and she won't break the promise. Otherwise, I won't."  Let me explain to my friend, Princess, what do you think?"

    This is about asking for a letter of guarantee from yourself.  Wen Wan glanced at Yu Feiyang, smiled and stroked, Xia Ying said, "The princess said, if you can trust it, then do this business, if you can't trust it, then don't do it. It's already very late in the evening,"Our princes need to take a rest.  If anything happens, we¡¯ll talk about it later.  Mr. Jade, please come here.  "(To be continued)
