    The fourth lady's heart skipped a beat, "Master, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? If it's not right, I won't go tomorrow."

    The Fourth Master said, "No. I'm just a little angry at the Fifth Brother for not living up to expectations. If she repairs the relationship with Wen Wan after Wen Wan comes back, not to mention his own smooth career, everyone in the family will also benefit from it.  Unlike now, Wen Wan is cold and indifferent to everyone in the He family."

    When the fourth lady heard this, she said, "Master, it's because of what the old lady did back then, and the fifth child's indifference towards Wen Wan. Not to mention help, not to be jealous, that child is already forgiving. To be fair."  It's very rare to be able to do this. Don't worry, Master. Although Wenwan won't help, as long as she is favored by the emperor, she can still leave her roots. "

    The fourth master smiled bitterly and said, "This is what I am most worried about. Who is Wen Wan? Her scheming and methods are unscrupulous. I say you know it. But why does she tolerate the fifth child so much? Is it really filial to treat the fifth child like this?  Yes, even an uncle like me can't stand it, but Wen Wan, my own daughter, can stand it? And she's like a normal person. I heard from several tribesmen that what I saw was a trivial matter. What Lao Wu did before.  The things that happened were countless times worse than that bastard¡¯s. So many people in the family were aggrieved for her, but Wen Wan, the person involved, didn¡¯t seem to remember it.  . Does she really not remember it? If she is a pure and kind child, she may not hold grudges. But look at what Wen Wan has done along the way.  She feels so cold towards Lao Wu. The reason why she is so indifferent to Lao Wu¡¯s actions is because she still has some scruples.¡±

    The fourth lady was startled: "Master, what do you mean?"

    The fourth master is full of worries: "The situation in the government is in chaos now. Wen Wan is at the center of the whirlpool. It is estimated that Wen Wan does not want to cause trouble at this time and be caught by others. But when the overall situation is settled, she will definitely take action. But  I don¡¯t know what her plan is.¡± The most serious thing is to break up with her father and leave the family.  However, you will have to bear the reputation of being unfilial for the rest of your life.  It will also involve her children.  A smart person like Wen Wan would not do such stupid things.  Therefore, these two items were automatically ignored by the Fourth Master.  The fourth master knew that Wen Wan could not just keep silent.  There must be a plan.  The Fourth Master now only hopes for gentle actions.  Just don't make the Taira people look bad.

    "It's a pity that a few years later, he clearly realized that he had underestimated Wenwan.  Wen Wan is more tolerant and scheming than he thought.  What others think is impossible happens in Wen Wan's hands.  But it became a matter of course.

    When the fourth lady heard this, she stood up in shock.  After a while, he said, "Isn't that true?" After saying this, he knew that he was being stupid.  The Taira family has always been kind to Wenwan.  There is only endless harm and calculations.  If Wen Wan didn't have the emperor as her backer, she would be a scheming person herself.  He had long been chewed to pieces by those evil-hearted people from the Taira family.  Those people were so cruel to Princess Fuhui back then.  What does gentleness mean?

    The fourth master heard this.  With a melancholy look on his face, "Wen Wan is sure to be rich and prosperous in this life. With Wen Wan's talent and scheming, she will definitely be respected and favored throughout her life." It's a pity.  People from the Taira family don't get much glory.  The only one who can benefit from the glory is Shangtang, who is more than conservative but lacks courage.

    The fourth lady whispered, "Master, the crown prince has not been decided yet, the number is five to five."

    The fourth master laughed and said, "What a number of five to five? The emperor is not a foolish king, so how could he appoint King Zhao as the crown prince? If he had to do so, he would have done so ten years ago. Why wait until now. The reason why Prince Zheng has not been appointed as the crown prince now is because the emperor has returned the favor."  He must be tempered. After all, although King Zheng is talented and capable, his methods are too ruthless and his temper is too cruel.  Prince Zheng has also lived up to the emperor's high expectations. In the past few years, he has been suppressed by the emperor and has become a lot smoother. I think that although the crown prince is not determined, he is definitely determined. "

    The fourth wife and her husband occasionally talk about politics.  The main reason is that the fourth master has experienced many things and is very wary of others.  When he got home, he could talk to his wife and relax.  The fourth lady is also a very virtuous person, just listen.  For so many years, the fourth master had never revealed a single word to him.

    After hearing this, the fourth lady asked, "Master, does that mean we are going to defect to Prince Zheng? Our future will be even better in the future."

    The Fourth Master shook his head, "No, it can be seen from what happened in Prince Zheng's Mansion this time. Prince Zheng is now becoming more and more powerful. Even if I defect to him, I won't get much benefit. It's better not to stand on both sides. Do your best and do your best."  Duty. I don¡¯t even want to be in a high position. If I come from a family like ours, it¡¯s a big deal if I can reach the third rank. I can only reach the second rank.¡±

      After listening to her husband's words, the fourth lady became more concerned about Shang Tang's marriage.  Wenwan is not reliable, but if King Zheng really takes the throne, Wenwan must also be in a high position.  If you don't help the Taira family, how can you not help Shangtang?  In the future, Shangtang will definitely rise to the top.

    Generally, when choosing an auspicious date for a marriage, the man will discuss it with the woman.  This is all a formality.  It will be better before.

    The middleman was invited by the Duke¡¯s wife.  The wife of the Minister of Rites, Mrs. Song.  The Su family welcomed him warmly.

    Mrs. Song praised Wen Wan in front of Mrs. Su, and praised Shangtang for his majestic appearance and bright future.  Praise after praise.  Mrs. Su responded with a smile.  If it hadn't happened before, this would definitely be a good thing.  But now, Mrs. Su hiccupped violently.

    Both sides exchanged polite words before getting to the point, "Mrs. Su, take a look. This is the betrothal gift list prepared by the princess for the seventh young master. Look carefully. If there is no problem, just follow it. If there is any problem, just return it."  There will be a few days to change the situation, and both parties will consider it carefully.¡±

    Mrs. Su looked at the list that Mrs. Song took out.  Wen Wan has asked the eldest lady to give the Su family a clear attitude. The Su family is willing to pay sixty-four dowries.  There is no shortage of any of the sixty-four betrothal gifts in the princess's mansion.  Let them buy dowries with confidence.

    Mrs. Su was still dubious about Wen Wan¡¯s words.  When she saw the betrothal gift list, Mrs. Su coughed hard.  Although I heard before that Jiang Nancai bought a lot of things.  But Mrs. Su didn't believe that she was buying something for Shang Tang.  Even his husband said that it was something that King Zheng bought for Wenwan in Jiangnan.  How could it be a betrothal gift?  did not expect.  It's really a betrothal gift.

    Mrs. Song praised, "Speaking of it, it is really rare to be a princess. With a body that has not yet recovered from illness, the injuries on her hands have not fully recovered. She also has to worry about the marriage between the Seventh Young Master and Miss Zhenzhen. Miss Zhenzhen is so lucky.  Such a sister-in-law will definitely have a harmonious life in the future."

    Mrs. Su¡¯s face became a little unnatural after she praised her.  She had always been secretive about Wen Wan before, but only a few people knew about it.  But Wenwan's move also hit her hard in the mouth.

    Haishi said from one side, "Don't worry, Mrs. Song, there will be no problem. Mother-in-law, do you think so?"

    Mrs. Su quickly smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem." Although she looked unnatural, this list completely relieved her depression.  Big problem solved.

    The generous betrothal gift of Shoudang quickly spread among the Heike clan.  Everyone praised the princess for her kindness to Shang Tang.

    Gentleness lies in money.  I have never been a stingy person.  I didn¡¯t intend to feel wronged this time. Zhenzhen.  However, she was not used to seeing Mrs. Su as if she had taken a huge advantage.  With Zhenzhen's temperament, she will have to take care of him in the future.  If it weren't for the fact that she was really a lady friend with a good temper.  She couldn't bear to let her marry into someone else's family and suffer.  Otherwise, she would not accept Mrs. Su's nagging.  He really treats him as his biological elder and takes care of his good temper.

    The wedding is getting closer.  Groups of guests began to come to give gifts.  The people in the princess's mansion were extremely busy. After greeting one group, another group came.

    Many people also want to come and take the opportunity to meet Wen Wan, intending to establish a good relationship with Wen Wan.  Doctor Wang directly said that the princess should not work hard as she was still very weak.  It is also not advisable to make noise, but to rest quietly.  Otherwise, the disease will relapse.

    After hearing this, outsiders no longer dare to come and disturb you.  No one dares to take this responsibility.

    The first lady and the fourth lady are the ones who have the hard work in Shang Tang¡¯s marriage.  The two of them were more careful about Shang Tang's marriage than their son.

    ??

    The eldest lady and the fourth lady had no complaints about Wen Wan being the shopkeeper.  Firstly, he was young and did not understand these things; secondly, he was indeed injured and had been seriously ill for a year, which was always a year of constant disasters.  The body is delicate.  If Wen Wan doesn't push them, they won't ask her to interfere.

    The fourth lady looked at the cherries in the crystal plate. They were bright, smooth, and beautiful, as beautiful as agate gemstones.  Smiling, she said, "Sister-in-law. In the princess's mansion these days, my lips and teeth are full of delicious food. I have enjoyed the delicious food with my sister-in-law. I'm worried that I won't be used to the food at home in the future." Wen Wan has seasonal fruits every day  .  Exquisite pastries are served to two people without interruption.  The meals they eat are also carefully prepared.  The eldest lady has enjoyed wealth, but facing the endless tricks of the princess's mansion, she is also a feast for the eyes.  But when I got home, I couldn't make the same taste.

    After a few days, the fourth lady came to know that the most famous thing about the princess's mansion was not money.  But this food is really exquisite.

    The eldest lady took one and after eating it she smiled and said, "It tastes sweet. It's the tribute stuff after all. It tastes a lot better than what's bought on the market."

    On the way back, MadamThe confidant next to her whispered, "The princess is much more sensible than before." If it were in the past, the princess would not be like this.  Although he said he didn't come forward, he was very grateful to the first lady and the fourth lady for their help.  Not only in terms of food, but also in other aspects.  The eldest lady doesn't care about those things, but she is very useful to Wen Wan.

    The eldest lady smiled and said, "When you grow up, you will naturally become sensible." After so many things, if you are still the same as before, you will only grow in body and not in brain.  However, I am sensible now, and my behavior is much more harmonious than before.  Unfortunately, my unfamiliarity with people has become more and more obvious.  It is estimated that Wen Wan was greatly stimulated by what happened in the palace this time.

    The betrothal gift was given on May 26th, and on the evening of May 25th, someone came to the palace.

    "Princess, there is an imperial edict." Wen Wan felt strange, what was going on with the imperial edict? She had just returned from the palace.  There are things you won¡¯t bring back.  What is Grandpa Emperor doing?  Wen Wan complained, the emperor's grandfather liked to surprise people, but what he often gave was surprise instead of joy.

    As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw the eunuch who had delivered the order was full of joy.  Everyone knelt to receive the imperial edict.

    The eunuch who delivered the order read loudly, "it is a blessing from heaven, the emperor's edict said. As a reward, Ping Shangtang, the head of the household department, received a handle of Ruyi jade, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, a pair of first-class octagonal palace lanterns, and ten pieces of palace satin as tribute.  this!".

    Wen Wan and a group of servants working in the front yard all kowtowed.

    Shangtang kowtowed and responded loudly, "My lord, Pingshangtang has received the decree to thank you. Long live, long live, long live!" Pingshangtang was really excited.  There is nothing more honorable than using a gift from the royal family as a betrothal gift.

    Wen Wan felt that it was really unfair for her to kowtow.  If I had known earlier, I would have come back later, and there would be no need to kowtow in vain.  It sounds like she is lucky.  She has a noble status, and apart from the emperor, there is really no one who needs her to kowtow.  When facing the clan princes, they just need to pay ordinary courtesy.

    After the eunuch delivered the imperial edict, he bowed to Wen Wan.  Then he returned to the palace.

    Shang Tang sent the eunuch away, touched the rewards, and smiled stupidly.  Those ten pieces of satin are red in color.  Colors full of meaning

    Looking at Wen Wan, she felt that the emperor's grandfather was really good at winning over people. She looked at the rewards: dragon and phoenix, wealth and honor in the jade hall, harmony and concentricity, eternal spring between heaven and earth, double happiness between bamboo and plum, unicorn giving birth to a child, everlasting white hair, and the goddess scattering flowers.  , Yuanyang Guizi.

    Being an emperor is really a technical job.  You have to think so thoughtfully when giving out items.  Seeing how happy Ping Shangtang was, the corners of his mouth reached to his heels.  I guess I will have to work even harder in the future.

    Shangtang was happy, but the eldest lady was worried.  These sixty-four betrothal gifts were agreed upon.  Now there are more of these royal gifts, and they have to be gathered again.

    Shang Lin also came to help.  But his eyes turned red when he saw it, "Brother, this is a gift from the emperor, how dignified it must be. When we get married, if we can also get a reward from the emperor. How dignified it would be."

    Shang Qi felt bitter in his heart, "Go ahead and do what you want. It's too early for us to get married!" They all had their names in front of the emperor, and it was God's grace not to be punished.  I still want to get a reward.

    Shang Lin muttered, "Not young anymore. My brother is already sixteen this year, and I am fifteen. It will be in two years."

    When Shang Qi saw someone coming, he pulled Shang Lin away.  Say these things that are never possible.  It will only increase other people's talk.

    The second day is the day of Dading.  On the wedding day, the small betrothal gift will be packed in a big red box.

    Speaking of giving a betrothal gift.  Wen Wan felt that her head was getting bigger.  After a lot of calculations, a betrothal gift was given.  To carry sixty-four, one hundred and twenty-eight people were needed.  There were other people waiting with stuff.  The more than twenty servants and guards in her own house are not enough to fill her teeth.  After that, the Duke's wife transferred forty people from the main house. Prince Chun's Palace sent twenty servants, Prince Zhou's Palace also sent twenty, and Prince Zheng's Palace sent forty, so they had to make do.

    Wenwan looked at the betrothal gift and went out, everyone laughed and laughed.  Wen Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.  This period of time has made her very tired.  Don't think that you are idle without intervening. In the overall situation, she has to interfere with everything.  Wen Wan sighed.  Well, I have really become Ping Shangtang's mother, and I have arranged everything for him inside and out.

    The first of the betrothal gifts is the jade Ruyi given by the emperor.  This Ruyi jade is of fine jade color, and the whole Ruyi handle is transparent and flawless.  It is placed on the big red assortment box at the front, which symbolizes a good omen that everything goes well.  More importantly, this was a reward from the emperor.  This honor makes others envious.

    The gift-giving ceremony was cumbersome and troublesome, and the princess's mansion was overwhelmed by the effort.  Fortunately, the people of the Su family were very satisfied and did not let Wen Wan work in vain.

    "The steward in the front yard said that the sixty-four items in front and back are all first-class. Plus what we prepared for Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen will not have to worry about food and drink in this life." Mr. Su  lady seaShi, after seeing the betrothal gift sent over, he was shocked.  He hurriedly told this to Mrs. Su who was resting after overworking.

    Mrs. Su said nothing.

    Haishi knew that her mother-in-law was still worried, so she smiled and persuaded her, "Mother-in-law, actually don't think about those things anymore. We didn't know what the market was like before. I believe the princess must know that you are thinking about your sister-in-law. No.  I blame you. My sister-in-law will be happy when she gets married, don¡¯t you think?¡±

    Mrs. Su did not refute this.  She did not express her dissatisfaction with Wen Wan's purchase of the betrothal gift, but she was not picky about Wen Wan's kindness to Zhen Zhen.

    Mrs. Su is still very uncomfortable with the unpleasantness between the two of them before.  I always felt that Wen Wan must have been laughing at her from the bottom of her heart.

    Haishi was a little helpless towards Mrs. Su's attitude.  Why don't you think about it? Wen Wan has long been compared to the past.  Even her younger sister, who is the Crown Princess (Ru Yu), is trying to find ways to have a good relationship with Wen Wan.  But she took advantage of her status as an elder to get Joe.  Why didn't my mother-in-law think about it? Wen Wan's life was so difficult that day, and the Su family just watched and didn't do anything.  Later, although he became close to the Prime Minister.  But it was only a superficial closeness.

    Haishi is alienated from Wenwan and everyone, not even close to Princess Zheng, and now even Ruyu is alienated, which is puzzling.  I heard that he is now kind to others, and Heide became even more worried after hearing the news.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because I hold a grudge.

    The generous betrothal gift sent by Wen Wan spread throughout the prime minister's house.

    After I really knew the news, I was extremely happy.  She doesn't care about the amount of stuff, she cares about the dignity.  In the past, my mother always talked miserably about how shabby the wedding would be and how embarrassing it would be for her.  She kept trying to persuade her mother not to worry.  Now that the betrothal gifts are abundant, my mother won¡¯t worry anymore.  She can also marry in style.

    The personal maids around Zhenzhen and the people who serve around her are all filled with joy.  The betrothal gift was sixty-four, but it was of the highest standard.  Although the uncle he married was of a low official rank, his dignity was not inferior to anyone else's.  (To be continued)
