Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wen Wan saw the regret in Madam Su's eyes, and when she recalled Madam Su's words, she looked impatient with Madam Su.  However, she was prepared to make this wedding more beautiful.  After entering the house, he took out a banknote from a small red box.  Let Xia Yu be handed over to the Duke's wife.  Just let people contribute their efforts, and don¡¯t force people to give out money.  Anyway, she was already prepared.  The money on hand is sufficient.

    The eldest lady is worried about where to get such a large sum of money!  I saw Xia Yu coming over and handed over a banknote. When I saw it, it turned out to be a denomination of ten thousand taels.

    The eldest lady really didn¡¯t expect that she didn¡¯t even open her mouth. Wen Wan knew that she was worried about the money.  Although he was still ill, he very generously gave away 10,000 taels of silver.  Plus there are more than eight thousand taels left in the account.  There is so much silver.  For this wedding, the eldest lady is not worried about cheating on her.

    "It's just that when the eldest lady took the silver, she felt strange.  On that day, the emperor said in front of all the ministers that Wen Wan had donated his wealth.  Wenwan had been recovering from illness for a year last year, so how could she still have such money?  Will there be any problems if we spend so much money?  Busy to the bedroom to talk to Wen Wan, "Wen Wan, so much money. Well, you said at the beginning that you would donate all your wealth. If you use this much money to buy a betrothal gift for Shang Tang, you will be caught by someone with intentions.  Talking about bullying is not a child¡¯s play.¡±

    Madam¡¯s words are indeed well-intentioned.

    Wen Wan smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, madam, the princess. The princess said that she had saved this money before just in case. Don't worry, madam, the princess. The emperor knows it. Even if those who like to gossip say anything, it doesn't matter."  ¡±

    Wenwan is naturally not afraid of these money.  But she won, and even the emperor's grandfather knew it.  Therefore, money in the gambling field is easy to make.  Her one million taels of silver.  It can really be said that I came back with empty gloves.

    When the eldest lady heard Wen Wan say that the emperor knew, she no longer had any worries.  Whether in ancient times or in modern times, the same saying goes, if you have money, it will be easier to do things.  Now I have more than 10,000 taels of silver on hand, which is definitely enough to buy a decent betrothal gift.

    Seeing the appearance of the eldest lady, Wen Wan smiled and said what she meant, "Madam, the princess. This is what the princess means. These ten thousand taels of silver are for buying some small and delicate things. As for those valuable things, I'd better send someone there."  Jiangnan bought it. The princess said that the things should not only be good, but also expensive, even if the price is higher. "

    The Duke¡¯s wife was astonished and said, ¡°Wen Wan. What does this mean?¡±

    Xia Ying explained on the side, "What the princess means. Those small items should be bought in the capital. Large items, such as fine items. Like fine silks and satins, as well as those calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry, should be bought in Jiangnan."  Or it will be much cheaper to buy it along the coast.¡±

    The Duke¡¯s wife opened her mouth, ¡°Well, it will cost a lot of money.¡±

    Wen Wan smiled, "The princess said there is no problem. She still has some money in her hand. In addition, several princes have disciples and shops in Jiangnan and coastal areas. Go there to buy. The price will be much cheaper. Since  The Su family all opened their mouths. If our place is shabby, she will not look good at it.

    The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief.  In this way, the betrothal gift must be more than 10,000 taels, and it is very likely that it will be enough to reach 20,000 to 30,000 taels.  It's just the marriage of kings and grandsons, that's all.  Gentle, such a big gesture.  This is a virgin who gathers wealth.  It¡¯s really not something I say casually.

    The eldest lady has put aside this worry and has money on hand.  He didn't push away at that moment and immediately helped to get things started.  First, divide the original list into two parts.  Long ones with Jiangnan characteristics or large objects.  Send it to Wen Wan.  On the short top, a lot of fine things are added.  The things on this are completely in accordance with the specifications of his eldest son. When his son got married, he was not yet the heir apparent, so there was nothing that exceeded the regulations.

    Wen Wan felt dizzy looking at the list.  Although it is not as long as the princess.  But looking at it makes my eyes tired.  No matter what the lady said, she nodded.  When the time comes, it will be enough to send two more people out to buy these things.

    The eldest lady knew that Wen Wan might not say anything if someone used the Duke's residence.  But the Duke's mansion is complicated, and all those people are cunning.  Let them do it. It would be strange if they don't get it by then.  Therefore, I asked Wen Wan if he had any manpower.  Anyway, there is still plenty of time. If there are people available, they can be sent to Jiangnan to purchase things.

    Wen Wan also knew the shortcomings in the Duke's mansion, so she didn't bother the young masters in the Duke's mansion from the beginning (I'm talking about the servants in the Duke's mansion).  Those small items are all in contrast, and the Duke's wife is personally checking them, so I should feel more at ease.  But for big objects, it¡¯s hard to say.  She didn't want to add to this trouble either.

    But she is really short of manpower, and none of her family's personal guards can move.  Others, Xia Tian is in charge of the affairs in the princess's mansion.?Little things.  Xia Tian is not familiar with this thing.  Even if he were allowed to go, he might not be able to buy what he wanted.  The only other person was Butler Lin, who used to help Wen Wan look after the store.  But there are too many things, and there is not enough for one person.

    After knowing that Wen Wan was short of people, Prince Chun¡¯s Mansion took the initiative to send several people over to help.  Before these people came, King Chun gave a special lecture.  He said that the princess was a smart and shrewd person.  If you want to cheat, enrich your own pockets, and lose the face of Prince Chun's palace.  When you come back, you will be dealt with severely.  Of course, driving out of the palace is not ruled out.  He said that several people's heads could not be lowered.  With these words, who dares to think about it.  In the palace, you can enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree. Who wants to leave the palace?

    Wen Wan knew that these people were familiar with this, so she did not shirk it pretentiously.  Several people were immediately sent to Jiangnan to purchase.  There are a lot of things there and the prices are cheaper.  Anyway, there are people in Prince Chun's Mansion and there are shops there, so if you don't use them, you can use them in vain.

    Xia Tian feels that this is a good opportunity to train himself. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can learn more.  In the future, I can help my master share more things.  So I took the initiative to beg me to go with him, not to be in charge, but to take this opportunity to exercise myself.

    Seeing that he wanted to make progress, Wen Wan naturally agreed.  The more capable the people in the princess's mansion are, the more capable they will be in the future.  Otherwise, there will always be a shortage of people to ask for help, which will be troublesome.

    King Zheng heard that Wen Wan was short of people, so he also sent six servants. These people were all the people who had arranged the prince's marriage, and were familiar with this, so they came in handy.

    Wen Wan means that you must not make this wedding a shabby one, otherwise you will be embarrassed to meet your true cousin.  You think about it, Zhenzhen and Ruyu are on the same level, even because they are the prime minister's only granddaughter.  To a certain extent, there are even fewer people.  Otherwise, Mao No. 1 Scholar would not have put so much thought into it.

    At this moment, Ruyu is the crown prince¡¯s concubine.  She might even become a princess, queen or something in the future.  Of course, these are still too far away.  But if nothing happens, a princess will never be able to escape.  But Zhenzhen is only married to a small sixth-grade official like Shangtang.  Therefore, Wen Wan thought about what the teacher said and sent four people to Guangzhou to buy some foreign gadgets.  Buy some more jewelry, diamonds, etc.

    Although Yu Feiyang, a disciple of Prince Zheng¡¯s family, was suppressed before and was even on the verge of death several times due to assassination and poisoning.  But now the body has recovered.  Even if the power is gone, the connections are still there.  Lifa Trading Company really expanded in his hands.  If you don't use it if it matters, you are a fool.

    Zhenzhen married Shangtang, who was only a sixth-grade official. Not to mention others, Wen Wan felt aggrieved for Zhenzhen!  So I decided to make the betrothal gift heavier.  Of course, it's not because she feels guilty.  It's not like she was the sister-in-law who came to her door for help.  It just makes things easier on face.  Don¡¯t always be blamed by Mrs. Su.

    "Princess, someone from the Su family is here." After hearing this, Wen Wan asked strangely what the person from the Su family was doing.

    Xia Yu said with a smile, "When people from the Su family come, they naturally have to measure the dimensions of the house so that they can arrange furniture. They plan where to put what items. These items are all brought by the bride."

    "It's rare to be gentle and have this rule."  If it were before, Wen Wan might still join in the fun.  But now, forget it.  Go join in the fun and don't have to be called a fool.  Moreover, it seems that he is ignorant.  Like someone who has never been out.

    Not long after, the Su family sent someone to measure the dimensions of the house, and Wen Wan let them do whatever they wanted.  Anyway, I am very busy.  The emperor's grandfather doesn't know what's going on recently, and now he doesn't issue an imperial edict announcing her entry into the palace.  Just say to her every time she comes back, "Girl, what are you going to eat tomorrow? Let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare it for you." Well, this still requires the eunuch to pass on the imperial edict.  This clearly means that you have to come.

    Wen Wan knows that it is difficult to disobey the sacred command.  However, Wenwan still sneaks home when she finds an opportunity.  The emperor's attitude gave her a bad premonition.  It seemed that the emperor's grandfather, like Uncle Zheng, also wanted to drag her into the water.  Although Wen Wan knew that she had fallen into the water, this was still an act that was beyond Wen Wan's understanding. Before Wen Wan figured it out, she would avoid it if she could.  It's not like Wen Wan never thought that it might be because of what King Chun said.  However, she still couldn't figure it out.  Why did she make a joke?  Let them take it so seriously.

    But even at home, she has no time to spare.  Although externally it is necessary to maintain health.  But in fact, at home, she has to learn massage techniques, study chess, and practice calligraphy every day.  Where is the time to take care of Shangtang's marriage?  She just provided money and people came forward, and she didn't feel any guilt at all if she didn't contribute any effort.

    Author¡¯s words: Seeing so many people comforts and encourages me.  I was touched, but also ashamed.  In fact, I would give myself sixty points at most for this article.  However, I will try my best.  I didn¡¯t say much more, just lowered my head and continued typing.  (To be continued)
