When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she frowned and said, "The princess is really willing to give up." Master Jiang smiled bitterly. She was willing to give up. I don¡¯t know how many people had to be willing to give up.
"It's a good thing I didn't tell her brother about Yuxiu. She has such a generous sister-in-law. From now on, life will be difficult for her!" Mrs. Jiang said with lingering fear.
"I regret that I didn't promise Yuxiu to her brother." Mr. Jiang said such an incomprehensible sentence. Mrs. Jiang looked at her husband strangely.
"It doesn't matter if she donates all the family property, the emperor will still treat her badly. The emperor is older, and he cherishes this kind of innocence even more. He will definitely be favored by thousands of people in the future. When the princess is better, her brother will still be there. There is no good future. Moreover, Prince Zheng will probably return to Beijing in a few months." Mr. Jiang shook his head, feeling that he had made a terrible mistake this time.
"Even if you want to, it can't be done. Didn't she and the Prime Minister have already discussed it? It's a pity that I still thought about telling my Yuxiu to her brother at that time! I didn't expect that she has such high vision, and Yuxiu would mention it to me when she came back. She said that when she was a guest at Wenwan's house, her brother looked very talented! He wanted to hire my family Yuxiu, and he also agreed that the two families would be engaged after the meeting was confirmed. Isn't this a joke? "Mrs. Jiang was a little unhappy. .
"A woman's view. I told you a long time ago, why can't you turn the corner! How could the prime minister look past his son-in-law and his granddaughter to see his son-in-law. He was forced to that point and had no choice but to think about it. This is a trick. Ping Shangtang is used as a shield." Mrs. Jiang was startled and asked strangely, why didn't the Prime Minister agree if the number one scholar in the Mao family was very good?
"Concubine De is not a peaceful person. She has been trying to win over important officials in the court recently. But many people are not optimistic about the Sixteenth Prince. She wants to win over the Prime Minister. She wants the Prime Minister to support the Sixteenth Prince. Don't even think about it, Prime Minister I have been in power for more than thirty years, and she, a palace concubine, can do whatever she wants. She would rather get her granddaughter to be the second-last student than marry her nephew who is the top scholar. In fact, she is showing off to everyone. The person expressed his position and lost face in vain. "Master Jiang was very disdainful.
"Why did the princess just agree? She is not afraid of offending Concubine De." Mrs. Jiang still disagreed.
"What does she have to be afraid of? She is the princess, a noble princess personally named by the emperor, and holds the golden whip given by the emperor. Concubine De still dares to bully her blatantly. And after this incident, the princess will become famous all over the world. No matter which prince takes the throne in the future, he will treat Princess Wenwan favorably. It's a pity that something like this happened to the Heng family. Otherwise, it would be a big help for the Prime Minister to see far and see deeply. " Mr. Jiang admired.
"What if the sixteenth prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor?" Mrs. Jiang did not care.
"How could a ten-year-old boy be able to fight against several princes who have been running the business for more than twenty years? Otherwise, Su Xianghui would not give Concubine De the face. He would have spotted the ten-year-old son of Concubine De. The sixth prince will not succeed to the throne. If the emperor really wanted to, he would not be allowed to return to the fiefdom when he was sixteen years old." Mr. Jiang shook his head.
"I've said it a long time ago, Wen Wan is not that kind of person. Moreover, you obviously gave that idea before, but later regretted it. I said that brother Wen Wan would not be that kind of person, but you just didn't believe it. Now you regret it. What's the use? Fortunately, Mr. Yu is also a good person, otherwise you would regret it." Yu Xiu pouted and said unhappily.
"Haha, it doesn't matter if we regret it. What we are most afraid of is choosing a bad one. It will make your future life miserable. But my brother was chosen by your father over thousands of times, and he has excellent character, talent and learning. You are now You have to learn how to take care of the inner courtyard, and you have to deal with your sister-in-law and other trivial matters in the future. When you get married, it won¡¯t be that simple. Mom can¡¯t let you go, it would be great if she never grows up.¡± Mrs. Jiang sighed.
Yu family
"Madam, I'm going to make you tired." Mr. Yu felt a little ashamed. He is from a poor family, and his wife is a daughter of a noble family. At that time, his family was not willing to marry his wife to him. But his wife liked him very much and decided to marry him. Over the years, I have become deeply attached to myself. Host the feed. I feel so guilty having to work hard for money all day long!
"Nothing happened. Fortunately, we made more than two thousand taels of income last year. Let's live a tight life this year. Compared with those suffering victims, we are doing very well. But I didn't expect Princess Wenwan to be so good. She is really a strange woman." Mrs. Yu praised
"The strange woman barely calculated. She is not a vain girl who gathers wealth. But compared to these, I admire her mind and choice more." Master Yu said with admiration.
Mrs. Yu shook her head and said she didn't understand.
"She has such a huge amount of money in her hands. She can enjoy two years of happiness if she keeps it in her hands, but what if she can later! If she doesn't like the new emperor, this will become a disaster. But if she donates it now, it won't be a disaster. Not to mention other things, one is caring for the people of the world and caring for the country and the people.The good reputation is completely realized. And since she can make so much money, she will naturally be able to earn it back in the future. The most important thing is that in doing so, she helped the emperor solve the current crisis. The emperor could still fail her. Compared with this money, the emperor's love is the most important. And most importantly, she also helped King Zheng win this job. The fact that the emperor was able to give this job to King Zheng proved that King Zheng had the capital to compete with King Zhao. Over the years, Prince Zheng's ability and courage have been obvious to all. But he has been on the edge for so many years because of his life experience. But Wen Wan's appearance made the emperor change his attitude towards him. Coupled with the help of Wen Wan, King Zheng indeed has the resources to compete with King Zhao. "Master Yu looked at the problem and saw it at a deeper level.
"I don't understand the complexity of court affairs. But I know that if you have such a large amount of money, you must be reluctant to donate it all. This kind of thing is easier said than done." Mrs. Yu looked at her husband funny. People without courage cannot do this.
"Yes." Think about it and nodded, "But you are right to let Yiyi follow her. Yiyi is too simple. If you want to marry in the future, you still need to have some scheming in such a complicated family."
"At first, I said I was afraid of ruining your daughter's reputation, that like Princess Wenwan, she would be obsessed with money and become a miser. Now I am praising her. Don't worry, although Yiyi is simple, she is not stupid. These things , I will teach you slowly." Mrs. Yu found a rare opportunity to insult her husband. The relationship between the husband and wife is very good, and they are very loving. Master Yu also smiled after hearing this.
"Haha, if King Chun and King Zhou hadn't made such a good start today, I probably wouldn't have been able to raise so much money. The emperor also sent King Zhou to raise disaster funds in important places in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, there is no need to raise more, I guess. That's enough. The emperor may be planning to take advantage of this opportunity to raise more money to be prepared." Mr. Yu occasionally talks to his wife about government affairs.
"That's for sure. As the saying goes, there is no danger if you have more, but you will have a headache if you have less. Anyway, the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan have a lot of money. I don't know what the rules of Princess Wenwan's marriage are. Otherwise, I really want to hire my fifth son. Be a daughter-in-law." Mrs. Yu said with a smile.
"Madam, my fifth son is only seven years old." Mr. Yu was frightened.
"Female junior. Holding a gold brick. That's really a gold brick." Mrs. Yu laughed.
"Don't even think about it. The Cao family has made the decision long ago, and several princes have also made the decision. Even if there is no Cao family, it is not our family's turn. Now many people are thinking about Princess Wenwan! It's just because of what the emperor once said It was said that the princess was still young, so she didn't even ask for permission. Now that Wen Wan has done such a big thing, it's too late for the emperor to pamper her, so how could she be willing to get married so quickly? Yes." Mr. Yu shook his head.
"You still can't let me think about it, of course I know it's impossible. I'd better go as your errand!" Mrs. Yu said coquettishly.
"Really. Then I need support. I'm going to find Wen Wan now." Upon hearing this, Yiyi immediately held her money bag and hurriedly prepared the carriage.
"Don't go, I guess the princess doesn't see visitors now. Don't cause trouble for her. Prepare the money, and you can take it to the academy and find her again." Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter, furious. He pulled it back with a smile, dumbfounded. After hearing this, Yiyi felt the same way.
Mrs. Cao got the news. Immediately send someone to find out whether it is true or false. At that time, Mr. Cao was still busy in the household department and had no time to go home. But soon, Mr. Cao¡¯s entourage appeared. He said that he would prepare six thousand taels of silver and send it over. Now, it¡¯s hard not to believe it.
Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion
"Okay. I underestimated this girl. This girl is much smarter than I thought. Okay, very good. Okay, I believe that Wen Wan is not such a person. I didn't expect that this girl gave me such a big gift. A surprise." The prime minister was very happy when he got the news.
"Dad, I didn't expect that Wen Wan would be so courageous when she didn't take action. Dad, you still have the foresight!" Su Xian was extremely excited.
Su Xiang also smiled, looking very happy.
"Yes, Prime Minister. Princess Wen Wan always makes people confused when she plays her cards. Everyone thought she was going to hoard food. Those people have noses and eyes. Who would have thought that this person is known as the best iron rooster in the capital? The most stingy princess actually donated all her property. The princess is really very old and incomprehensible." The staff praised.
The Prime Minister was in a very good mood: "If you can figure it out, it's not Princess Wenwan. If she were a simple person, it would not have been possible for King Zhao to suffer such a big loss and remain silent. I think, Zheng Whether the king's opportunity can be changed, it seems now, depends on gentleness. This child, if he doesn't make a move, has set the pattern, even the foresighted concubine has been so?One loss. Not to mention that people can't change, but they don't even have time to react. There are really not many people in this world who can do it. This girl is not simple! This kind of patience and perseverance is not something ordinary people can achieve. "
The staff nodded, that was indeed the case.
"This girl, pretending to be a pig, might actually be able to eat a tiger." The prime minister's eyes flashed.
??Bajing Alley
"Princess, the young master of the Yu family wants to see the princess." Wen Wan was desperately looking for the recipe. She searched for a long time but couldn't find it. He was so furious that the corners of his mouth were about to burst into flames. Where is the interest in dealing with him? Now that the King of Heaven is here, Wen Wan doesn't even have time to see him. The emperor sent someone to invite her to the palace in the morning and she didn't have time. Not to mention Yu Feiyang, who had plotted against her.
"Princess, Wang Yushi from next door, please see the princess." Xia Tian sent the others in person. But for this person, Xia Tian still leaves the decision-making power to Wen Wan.
Wen Wan was a little curious after hearing the news. She had already inquired about this Wang Yushi. He was a bit pedantic, but he was absolutely decent. This will give you a good idea of ??what to do. She has moved here for three years and has never seen him. People also disdain to associate with powerful people like her. She was so aloof and aloof that she never passed her door.
Wenwan didn¡¯t ask him to come in, so she asked him to come in. Wen Wan met this Wang Yushi. Tall and thin, he has an awe-inspiring look.
Wang Censor saw Wen Wan smiling gently at him and felt guilty in his heart, "The princess is so righteous, but Wang is ashamed."
Wen Wan looked at him strangely and asked what this meant. When he found out that Wang Yushi had already drafted a memorial, he was going to take part in her. Now is the time to come and apologize.
Wen Wan is very touched. Such upright people are really rare. Wen Wan personally served him a cup of tea, and Wang Yushi was flattered. Wen Wan stroked the pen a few times, "Our princess said that she admires Mr. Wang very much. It is precisely because there are officials like Mr. Wang in the court that other officials can be well restrained. Only when there are officials who govern the Qingming Festival, will the people have the courage to do so." Have a good life. Our princess said that she didn¡¯t mind at all that Mr. Wang could tell her so openly. She could understand why Mr. Wang wanted to do so. Do this. Because you don't know the details. The princess also said that if she really did something that harmed the country and the people, you should not punish her because she is a relative of the emperor. Everyone must abide by the laws of Daqi. Even if she is the princess, she cannot break the law. The prince and the people will be punished according to the law. Our princess also explained to Mr. Wang. There was a plan to buy a large amount of food, but it was not for hoarding, but to support the disaster area at a cheap price, but I didn't know who spread the news later. The Lord had no choice but to ask the Emperor for help."
Wang Yushi was so excited that he said that the princess was very righteous. After these words spread, Wen Wan's reputation among Qingliu reached a peak.
Yanghe Hall
"That's right. He seems quite sincere. I will work hard from now on. Go down." Looking at the young man kneeling on the ground, the emperor said lightly. The young man obeyed the order and went out. I was shaking as I walked away.
"Call Cao Yin to see me." A eunuch immediately went out to deliver the message.
"I remember the first time Wen Wan saw me. But she didn't have any timidity at all. She just kept looking at me from below. I called her. She raised her head and looked at me with a smile. She looked kind and cute. How can I be like them, as if I can eat them? "The emperor is in a good mood now, and it is rare for him to say a few light words. (Eunuch Wen lowered his head and thought to himself. By the way, Emperor, when he first saw Wen Wan, the child still looked like a pig!)
On the surface, Eunuch Wen said very emotionally, "The princess is the emperor's granddaughter, and is the emperor's direct bloodline. She is full of admiration for the emperor, so how can she be afraid of the emperor? The princess's filial piety towards the emperor, The old slave was moved when he saw it.¡±
The emperor listened and raised the corners of his mouth. Eunuch Wen could see that the emperor was in a good mood at this time. However, the emperor quickly frowned: "That girl, why did you announce that she can't come in?"
Eunuch Wen smiled and explained, "As soon as your princess knew that the emperor appointed Prince Zheng as an imperial envoy, she was worried to death. She said she wanted to find a recipe. Now she is in the mansion. She almost tore up the mansion and dug three feet into the ground. ¡±
The emperor was a little curious: "This girl never follows common sense when doing things. What method can she find?"
Eunuch Wen shook his head seriously and said he didn't know. At this time, a message was sent from outside and the eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, Master Cao is here, waiting outside the palace."
After listening to Cao Yin's words, the emperor pondered for a moment, "Forget it. Although your starting point is good, it is too much to ask all officials in the world to set an example by being gentle. There is no money in the treasury, but it does not mean that all officials will have no food to eat. As for those who have written to donate money, if their families are really in trouble and cannot donate, they can write a petition and submit it. Half of the amount can be reduced as appropriate. We cannot let officials live without food for the sake of disaster areas. "
Cao Yin nodded and said, "Your Majesty is merciful."
The emperor took the credit. "Haha, that's what the girl said too. I guess she was afraid of offending too many people. But what the girl said is indeed reasonable. Go down and do it!"
According to the emperor¡¯s original intention, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to replenish the treasury. But if you think about Wen Wan's words, they do make sense. There is no need for the disaster area to make officials think that he, the emperor, is taking advantage of the disaster and spread the word. He, the emperor, will also lose face.
As soon as the young man walked out of the hall, he touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and shivered when a gust of wind blew. Only then did I realize that my whole body was wet. He hurriedly followed the young eunuch in front and returned to the Yamen. Several colleagues came over and asked, apologetically saying that they had to change their clothes first.
Everyone looked at his wet appearance and smiled knowingly. After changing his clothes and coming out from the inner room, he faced the inquiries from his colleagues and smiled bitterly, "How do I feel? When I saw the emperor, my legs became weak and my whole body trembled. When the emperor spoke, I didn't know how to respond. Okay." Your Majesty is so kind to me, but you have not punished me for being disrespectful to the emperor."
"The emperor won't punish you even for the sake of the princess. He might even give you a promotion." The colleague next to him said with half envy and half sourness.
"I heard just now that several adults originally discussed that each of us should donate five hundred taels. However, the emperor has decreed that those who are not well-off will depend on their own circumstances. No one is a small official donating half of his annual salary." One of them hurried in and told the latest news. This news made many people feel relieved. If they really wanted to donate so much, they would have to sell their houses and land and owe money.
After Shang Tang returned, he did not mention this matter to Wen Wan. He just told Wen Wan that the emperor summoned him today and scared him to the point where his seven souls came out of his body. Wen Wan laughed after hearing this, saying that her grandpa was not that cannibalistic and was quite amiable. Very kind to her.
"Only you think the Emperor is amiable. I have never heard of other adults saying that the Emperor is amiable. He just sat there without saying a word. His aura made me tremble with fear. I knelt down, sweating profusely. My clothes were soaked through. Yes." Shang Tang said with lingering fear.
Wen Wan searched for it all day, but still couldn¡¯t find it. Now I also want to take my time before looking for it. There was a flash of light and he immediately rushed back to the backyard. From under the dressing box in her bedroom, a book was found. She opened it and looked carefully, and she found it. Wen Wan looked at the description above and finally felt relieved. Otherwise, if her uncle's life was in danger because of her momentary inattention, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
I took the book, read it carefully, combined what I knew, and wrote it down one by one. I hope everything goes well and can be helpful to her uncle, otherwise, she will not have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
Shili Village
Song Luoyang was stunned for a while after hearing the news that Wen Wan had donated all his family property to the court for disaster relief. He said that his student was really not in vain, so he immediately packed up, returned to the capital from Zhuangzi, and went directly to Wen Wan's home. At this time, Wen Wan happened to find the travel book she had been looking for.
"Wen Wan, you are so good. You are worthy of being a student taught by the teacher. You have character. The teacher is proud of you. Also, the teacher will never say that you love money anymore." Song Luoyang was extremely excited when he saw Wen Wan. As soon as he came up, he praised him enthusiastically.
Seeing how excited Wen Wan was, she stayed with him. He smiled and said, "The princess said that she loves money. It doesn't matter if you say she does. The so-called gentleman loves money, and he should do it in a proper way. Loving money is not a shameful thing."
Song Luoyang chuckled and said, "Haha, okay, okay, there is no shame in loving money. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, but still fight for face, fight for face."
He was really happy. Although he had always told himself that Wen Wan was not such a person after receiving the news before. But I still felt uneasy. But he didn't expect that Wen Wan would give him such a big surprise. As soon as he got the news, he rushed back to see her. Looking at Wen Wan, he felt very proud, knowing that he had accepted an amazing student. After this incident, Wenwan will definitely be famous throughout the ages.
It is indeed true. History books clearly record that Princess Wenwan donated all her wealth to the victims of the disaster, which contributed to her good reputation in the world. It was also the first time that Princess Wenwan truly appeared on the stage of history. This incident was also the beginning of Princess Wenwan's legendary life.
Seeing the teacher so excited, Wen Wan didn¡¯t understand. To be honest, it??She really didn't feel that she had done such a great thing, and she was not doing it for the world, she was just doing it for her grandfather. But looking at the teacher's proud and touched look, she was embarrassed to tell the truth. In fact, even if she told the truth, Song Luoyang would still be happy. For the subjects, giving money to the emperor at this moment is equivalent to donating it to the world, there is no difference. (To be continued)
