    204: The old man¡¯s 60th birthday (Part 1)

    Wen Wan heard Shang Tang and asked him to be led into the study.

    "It's nothing, I just came over to ask you when we will go to Pingfu tomorrow." Under normal circumstances, we should go there today.  Lived there in the past.

    "Tomorrow at the end of the day (nine o'clock)." Wen Wan knew that it couldn't be because of such a trivial matter. There must be something else she wanted to ask herself.

    "Sister, it's like this. Two days ago, I saw my father and the eldest man of the Mao family drinking in Ruyi Building. The Mao family is the mother's family of Prince Heng. Prince Heng doesn't show it, but as a prince, who doesn't want to fight for it?  That chair. Not many people in the capital know about my sister¡¯s relationship with Prince Zheng. Therefore, I have persuaded my father not to get involved. If something happens, it will be a big disaster, but he doesn¡¯t listen.  . I'm afraid this will be bad for you." Shang Tang said softly.

    Wen Wan knew that King Heng was restless.  Unexpectedly, Wen Wan really didn't expect that King Heng would actually target her cheap father.  Wen Wan sneered in her heart. If others didn't know about her relationship with her cheap father, the emperor's grandfather would not know.  When something came up, he continued.

    She didn¡¯t show any gentleness on her face, she just asked Shang Tang, ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    "Take advantage of tomorrow to persuade father not to get too close to Mr. Mao. I persuaded him, but he not only refused to listen, but also my sister persuaded father, he should listen." Shang Tang was a little hard to say.  Really, he knew that the relationship between Wen Wan and Ping Xiangxi was not good.  However, Wen Wan's identity can suppress Ping Xiangxi.

    "He has been an official for so many years, and his brain is clearer than yours! If King Heng wins, he will be able to rise to prominence. If Uncle Zheng wins, even for my sake, my uncle will not do anything with him.  At most, he will be dismissed from his job, and his life will not be in danger. Don't worry, he won't cause much trouble. "Wen Wan doesn't care at all.  He tossed it hard, and the harder it was, the better.

    It would be better if Ping Xiangxi wanted to go to jail on his own.  She must let Ping Xiangxi stay in prison longer to get a taste of it.

    "How about you work as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs? I heard that the commercial tax collected now has doubled compared to before. Do you people often face difficulties from those noble people?" Wen Wan was not very satisfied in her heart, but her face was full of dissatisfaction.  show.  Just smile and write on the paper.  After what happened to King Zhou.  The powerful families also paid their taxes obediently.  Moreover, the time for preferential treatment has passed, and now business taxes are increasing.  It also relieved some of the pressure on the court.

    "I'm okay. Even if I want to make things difficult, I don't dare to do it blatantly. Who doesn't know that I have a powerful sister. If you dare to bully me, wait for you to whip me. They still have to endure it." Shang Tang thought about that warm moment.  Wan Wan teased the atmosphere a little bit because of what he had done.

    "It doesn't matter if they make things difficult for us if we follow the rules." Wen Wan didn't take it seriously.

    "By the way, sister, I have a colleague who wants to start a business and asked me to invest in the business. The business is timber. I think it's good and I'm ready to invest in it." Shang Tang looked at Wen Wan.  Although I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal, I still need to report this situation.

    "Are you short of money?" Wen Wan asked strangely.

    Shang Tang nodded sheepishly.  The family's expenses are so high, and the salary is not enough.  As a grown man, I can't always live off my wife's dowry.

    "Even if you want to do that business, there is no problem. In such a sensitive period like this, one more thing is worse than one less thing. If you are short of money, just withdraw it directly from the accountant. Although there is no shortage of property, Zhuangzi still has at least seven or eight thousand taels every year. It will be credited to your account and you will not be short of money," Wen Wan wrote on the paper.

    Shang Tang was shocked.  After hearing this, he immediately shook his head and explained, "I'm also very loose. I have enough food at home. I just want to make more money so that I can buy you a generous dowry in the future."

    Wen Wan heard Shang Tang talking about buying a dowry for herself.  Although I don¡¯t rely on it, it¡¯s not bad to have such a heart. ¡°I accept it. Don¡¯t worry about it. Grandpa and uncle will prepare the dowry. You don¡¯t have much salary now. Even if you want to do business, it¡¯s good to add income.¡±  But wait until Uncle Zheng is appointed as the crown prince and King Zhao and King Heng return to their fiefdom. It is better to keep a low profile now. Those people are eager to find faults. They say they are in the timber business. Who knows?  Is there something shady hidden in it? When the time comes, you don¡¯t know much about business, so it¡¯s better to be cautious.¡±

    Shangtang wondered if there was something shady hidden in the wood, and sweat broke out on his forehead.  He really hadn't thought about this.  I almost got spared.  These people are really hateful. They are already very careful, but they still set a trap for themselves, saying how to let themselves invest in the business properly!

    The two brothers and sisters talked for a long time.

    "By the way, I heard youGot a maid.  "Before Shang Tang came back, Wen Wan learned from Gu's mother that a few days ago, Shang Tang took in a maid from the same house, and it was Zhenzhen.

    "Yes." Shang Tang nodded, his face slightly red.

    Wen Wan's expression was very sharp, "I will not interfere in your inner court affairs. However, I just hope that you will not break the rules. Before the eldest son is born, no bastard son must be born. I will tell you everything that needs to be said before  Having said that, I just hope you will remember my words, everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious. If you can't handle a small backyard well, how can you handle government affairs well?"

    How many wealthy families end up in a mess just because they don¡¯t have the rules.  The most typical example is Ping Mu.  If it weren't for her, would the Taira family be in such an embarrassing situation?  A rigorous style like the Hai family.  Only then will talents be produced from generation to generation.  Because their family tradition is strict and their rules can be said to be old-fashioned, but they are absolutely practical.

    "Don't worry, I am sensible." He is not a lustful person, nor is he a confused person.  Isn't it just a bed-warming maid who makes such a fuss over Wen Wan?  However, I also heard that Wen Wan disliked concubines and concubines, and she knew it in her heart.

    After Shang Tang left, Wen Wan continued to sit in the yard.  Sit under the vine she caused to be planted.  It's October now and it's winter.  The grapes are gone, leaving only the withered yellow leaves and vines.

    Wenwan looked at the night sky, it was dark today.  There are no stars in the sky.  There is no moon either.  Wenwan stood for a long time.

    Xia Yao was afraid that she would catch cold, so she took some clothes and put them on her.

    Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao with a very soft expression: "Has Princess Chun done anything else?"

    Xia Yao smiled and said, "How could Princess Chun do such a stupid thing? How can a girl from the Jiang family get married in the future? Moreover, marrying a main wife is not as good as marrying a concubine. The emperor must grant the marriage. If the emperor does not agree, the most she can do is  Can be a concubine."

    Xia Yao specifically mentioned the concubine to remind the princess.  If she is not marrying Yan Qixuan, let alone the side wife.  There is no concubine in the whole room.

    Wen Wan glanced at Xia Yao, and her soft eyes suddenly turned dark and cold.

    Xia Yao's heart suddenly jumped.  No more words, Princess, Princess, what does this mean?  Why is she becoming more and more afraid of the princess now?

    Wen Wansheng takes action.  He cut off a grape vine branch and held it in his hand, as if talking to himself or saying to Xia Yao: "Xia Yao, what I hate most is betrayal. Second, people who don't keep their promises.  The third is those who deceive me under the guise of being good for me. In the past, I would stay away from those who betrayed me, but now I will make their lives worse than those who break their promises.  You are thousands of miles away from me. Xia Yao, tell me how I should deal with you who deceived me and concealed me under the pretext of doing my best."

    Xia Yao trembled all over.  What does the princess mean by this: "The princess can do whatever she wants."

    Wen Wan looked at the grape vine in her hand: "Of these three types of people, the third type is the most difficult to deal with. Because her starting point is good. But no one is qualified to explain what is good and what is bad.  Make a decision. But they just decide for themselves what is the best way to punish them.¡±

    Xia Yao squeezed her hands.  Pu Teng knelt in front of Wen Wan: "Princess Princess, my subordinates dare not"

    Wen Wan looked very cold: "Don't you dare? Do you really think that I am a fool and an idiot. Let you manipulate me? Is that a decision you made privately, or was the emperor's grandpa asking you to make it?"

    Xia Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Did the subordinates decide on their own?"

    Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao for a minute: "Xia Yao, I always thought that as long as I did not exceed the emperor's grandfather's bottom line, you would always be loyal to me. Unexpectedly, I was wrong. Forget it, don't kneel down either  . When I return to the palace, I will tell the emperor that my temple is too small to accommodate a great god like you."

    Wen Wan turned around and entered the bedroom.  Pick up the vine branch in your hand and place it on the green oil lamp.  The rattan made a chirping sound, and in the end, it was burned to ashes.  The branches and leaves are flourishing, spring comes and autumn passes.  The vine branches grow by clinging to the vine. If they have other intentions, they can only be cut off.

    Wenwan looked at the room, blankly, her eyes piercing the space.  It's like I can see her in modern times.  Surviving here is a hundred times more difficult than in modern times.  In her previous life, she didn't know how to cherish blessings.

    Xia Yao came in and knelt in front of Wen Wan: "Princess, my subordinates made a mistake this time. Please punish me, Princess. I am willing to accept any punishment. Please, Princess, please don't drive your subordinates away?"

    Wen Wan did not turn around, but turned up the wick in the oil lamp. The oil lamp burned brighter and brighter, and the room suddenly became much brighter.  After an unknown amount of time, Wen Wan asked, "I just want to ask you, did the emperor's grandfather ask you to do this?"

    Xia Yao bit her lower jaw and looked at Wen WanA cold and distant look.  She knew that the princess already had the answer in her heart, and she couldn't hold on even if she bit her to death.  After biting his lower jaw and bleeding, he finally responded in a low voice: "Yes."

    Wen Wan sighed heavily: "If there is another time, I will not give you another chance. You don't need to keep vigil today. Let Wu Xing keep watch outside. You think about it carefully. If you can't do what Shadow does, I won't  I will keep you again." Wen Wan now has two shadows beside her, given by the emperor.  The shadow only protects and obeys her.

    Xia Yao responded and retreated.

    Wen Wan sat at the dressing table and took off her jewelry, looking at the youthful and indifferent person in the mirror.  He reached out and touched his face: "Yan Qixuan, if you haven't broken your promise, I will tell you that I am Fu Xi. Yan Qixuan, if you have the courage and courage to accompany me to face all difficulties and work hard together  I will continue to overcome difficulties. Yan Qixuan, I hope you will not disappoint me." When she knew that the rumors were spread by Yan Qixuan, she was extremely disappointed when she thought that two years of hard work would lead to this.  Think more.  But after I calmed down, the more I thought about it, the more strange it became.  Yan Qixuan just doesn't understand things. With his temperament, it's impossible for him to repay kindness with hatred.  If this is the case, there is only one reason, Xia Yao hid the truth from her.

    When I asked today, it turned out to be true.  If her guess was correct, this rumor should have been caused by Princess Chun using Yan Qixuan's help.

    After returning to the palace this time, she must see Yan Qixuan and talk to him face to face.  It would be her fault if she didn't tell her, she was the one who hid the truth.  This time, she told Yan Qixuan everything and let him make his own choice.  Regardless of the cause, regardless of the future outcome, at least she has tried her best.

    After Wen Wan got up, she finished putting on her makeup.  Xia Yao came in and knelt in front of Wen Wan: "Princess Master, from now on I will be loyal to the Princess, and I will only obey the orders of the County."

    Wen Wan said lightly: "Remember what you said, get up!" She had to meet Yan Qixuan, and there was one last and most difficult hurdle.  The emperor's level.  But no matter what, she has to see Yan Qixuan for a year.  .  She worked hard for more than two years and got this result.  If Yan Qixuan really broke her promise and did so many messy things, she would have a clear conscience for giving up.  But if it's just the middleman who's getting in the way, she won't be willing to do it

    At the end of Chen Shi, the group set off from the Princess's Mansion on time and went to Ping Guogong's Mansion.  There were more than 40 people following behind.  Except for Xia Yao and Xia Ying, all of them were guards.  This time there were two more people, two eunuchs.  Wen Wan was the eunuch's voice that was most annoying to her. It was sharp and harsh. Unfortunately, the emperor had to give it to her this time.

    "The princess has returned to her mansion." Wen Wan opened the sedan chair, and many people were waiting outside.  The porter shouted that the princess had arrived.

    The people waiting below bowed and saluted.  The eunuch screamed and screamed.  Normally, Wen Wan was used to having a gentle voice, but this voice was too loud, and being next to her sedan chair, Wen Wan decided not to suffer any more.  I will definitely resist next time.

    ??Among the crowd today, Wen Wan is one of the important members.  Wenwan looked at Chonglou and Linlou, hugging each other, and the long road was full of prosperity and wealth.

    Wen Wan has never seen her look like this before. She probably dressed up recently to celebrate her husband Ping Guo¡¯s birthday.  I don¡¯t know how much money it will cost, but it seems that Duke Ping¡¯s mansion is not that short of money!

    "The princess gets out of the carriage." After saying that, she immediately brought a stool over. Wen Wan stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage (Wen Wan doesn't step on people because it's not safe, but in fact she doesn't want to use people as livestock).  Everyone was stunned when they looked at Wen Wan.  Wen Wan was actually wearing a colorful veil and even a pair of gloves on her hands.  Only one pair of eyes is exposed.  Everyone suddenly realized that the rumors about Princess Wenwan's disfigurement were indeed not groundless.

    Although the face cannot be seen, one can still see the outfit: wearing a gold-red palace dress embroidered with phoenixes dancing in the sky, a set of emerald hair accessories, a pair of gemstone earrings, and a tassel.  An eight-treasure necklace is worn, and a gold-coloured jade-embellished gem butterfly is pinned to the front. It sways as it moves around, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly.  On her left wrist, she wears a chicken blood jade bracelet that is as red as blood; she wears a white fox cloak made of snow.  Seeing this, everyone was secretly stunned. This outfit cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.  (To be continued)
