    It took Wen Wan three days to collect everything in the mansion.  After sorting out everything, he replied to Shang Tang and Zhenzhen's posts and asked them to bring Meng Lan and Meng Xuan over to make it lively.

    As for Ping Xiangxi, forget it.  Anyway, she and Shang Tang's family just had a meal together.  I have a few things to tell you by the way.  It's not a party.

    Qingshan got the news and knew that the next day, Zhenzhen was going to take her two children to the distinguished princess's mansion (the plaque of "Princess's Palace" in Bajing Hutong was removed when Wenwan moved the things away).  They clamored to go along.

    Qingshan is very smart.  She didn't mention it herself, but she encouraged Ping Xiangxi to let him go, and then he could take her with him.  Ping Xiangxi heard that the garden was like a fairyland.  Although I was very excited, that was all.  Wen Wan's attitude towards him, he is not a fool.  Don't rush there.

    Mrs. Miao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Ping Xiangxi didn't agree.  But she stepped up to see her, thinking that she had to get rid of this scourge quickly.  So as not to implicate her husband anymore, or even implicate her child's future.

    With this thought in mind, I immediately went to the Champs Elysees.  Please really ask Aunt Liu to recommend a stricter nanny so that she can teach Qingshan.

    ???????????? If it weren¡¯t for Nanny Liu¡¯s decree because of Wen Wan, she must stay with the Su family and teach the two girls carefully.  She didn't want to stay in this crazy place.  What kind of family is this? The old man is a soft-hearted man, the head of the house (Ping Shang Tang) is a conciliatory person, and the head of the house (Zhen Zhen) is a person who has no sense or ideas, and doesn't care about the east, west, north, and west of what is said.  My aunt is a troublemaker, and my sister-in-law is a troublemaker.  The only shrewd Miao family, because she is the daughter-in-law, does not have enough say.  He was also disliked by the old man and kept suppressed.

    "Mammy Liu can't figure out how a family like this could raise such a sophisticated person as the noble princess.  As the saying goes, a golden phoenix flew out of the crow's nest.

    If the princess doesn¡¯t promise to provide for her in the future, let the patriarch of their family agree.  When she died, she could be buried in her family's ancestral grave (generally, unmarried girls cannot be buried in their ancestral graves).  Don't be a lonely ghost.  She didn't want to come to this unknown place.  Too bad.

    After receiving Miao's request, Grandma Liu was very indifferent.  I thought about it later.  I still recommended someone.  This man is the famous Black-faced King, who has caused Qingshan enough suffering.  pity.  I didn't learn anything that I needed to learn.  Instead, he had accumulated a lot of anger.

    Shangtang got the news.  I took a day off that afternoon.

    The maid reported outside, "Princess, the seventh master and the seventh young lady are here, and the two girls are also here."

    After hearing this, Wen Wan smiled and hurriedly let him in immediately.

    Shang Tang is wearing an azure robe today, with a hosta on his head.  There is a kind of careless gentleness in his movements, and his actions are free and easy, informal.  There was also a high-spirited Zhi De on his face.  Just looking at the day makes me feel comfortable.

    Zhenzhen was wearing a pink dress and holding Mengxuan in her arms.  Aunt Liu held Menglan in her arms.  Maybe it's because I gave birth to children too frequently, even though I tried my best to nurse them back.  But the color is no longer as bright as before.

    Wen Wan looked at Shang Tang, who was proud of the spring breeze, and smiled dumbly.  At this time, I can't be proud of the spring breeze.  It wasn't long before the emperor's uncle ascended the throne.  Shangtang has risen to another level.  At only twenty years old, he had become a fifth-rank household doctor.  The Ministry of Household Affairs was the most important department of the imperial court.  Being a doctor is also an important position. Many people have to wait for ten or twenty years to get to their current position because it depends on their qualifications.  And he has reached this position after more than four years in his official career.  It can be predicted that the future will be bright.

    Zhenzhen was teaching Menglan, and Mengxuan could not speak yet. Menglan repeated Zhenzhen's words one by one in a milky voice, "I wish my aunt all the best and good health."

    Wen Wan laughed after hearing this.

    "Here, this is the red envelope given by my aunt." Both of them took a big red envelope.  Neither of them knew what a red envelope was.  But when she took the colorful doll that Xia Ying handed over, she hugged it and refused to let go.  The two had a great time there.

    "Let's stay here for lunch at noon! It's probably not very peaceful in that mansion." Although Wen Wan has never been there, Xia Lin occasionally sends news back.

    Xia Yao ignored it, but Xia Yinghui thought about it and mentioned it to Wen Wan.  Therefore, Wen Wan generally knew some things about the mansion.

    Qingshan is always making trouble in the mansion.  Aunt Fan always stirs up trouble around Ping Xiangxi.  While Shang Qi and his wife were busy fighting for his reinstatement, they were also begging for help from everywhere to save his mother. Shang Lin was seventeen after the Chinese New Year and was not married yet.  The fifth room was very noisy.  But fortunately, there is a Miao family who is supporting me, otherwise, it would be really painful.

    "However, since Wen Wan sent Nanny Liu there.  A lot has been sorted out.  Qing Shan YeDon't dare to go over and provoke at will.  Coupled with Xia Lin who was left behind by Wen Wan, although Zhen Zhen's life was not as comfortable as before Wen Wan moved away, it was still much better than before.

    Zhenzhen said with a smile, "Wenwan, your garden is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than the one in the Duke's Palace. The late emperor really doted on you and gave you such a beautiful palace as your residence. If nothing happens in the future, I'll come and visit you."  Son, who lives in the garden.¡±

    It was only after we separated that I realized that living with Wenwan in the past was truly a carefree and happy life.  It was nothing like now, even though she had the help of two people, it still made her miserable.

    "It's probably going to be difficult. Although I have moved out now, there are fewer rules than in the palace. But I will have a lot of things to do in the future and won't have to accompany you. But when I'm not busy anymore, I'll have to bring Meng Lan over.  Although my house is big, it's less popular because I'm the only one here. "Wen Wan doesn't care.  While teasing Mengxuan, he talked.  She knew that although Zhenzhen was a bit weak-tempered, he was not a greedy person.  But she has a busy day ahead.  She didn't have time to take care of her, so Ping Xiangxi would definitely have something to say if President Zhenzhen was allowed to enter the princess's palace.

    "Ah, you are so good. Come on, give Auntie a squeeze again." Wen Wan pinched Mengxuan's fair little face.  Hehe laughed.  This girl is so kind, no matter how Wen Wan teases her, she will never cry.  And she is particularly sticky and gentle. Every time she comes, she hugs Wenwan and won¡¯t let go.  I cried when I left, but Wen Wan couldn't stop laughing every time.  He said that this girl should be his daughter.  Because of this, he is very popular with Wen Wan, and Wen Wan also likes to play with her.

    Zhenzhen was a little disappointed. She didn't have any other intentions. She just wanted to come out and hide for a while. "Wen Wan. You don't know, I often get a big headache from Qingshan. This is the first time I have seen such a person."  Girl. I really can¡¯t explain it in a single sentence. It¡¯s all my fault if they didn¡¯t move in. There wouldn¡¯t be so many annoying things.¡±

    Only in front of Wen Wan do you dare to complain.  In the past.  In front of outsiders.  You can only hide it and hold it back, how can you report your own family disgrace?  She really regrets now that she didn't stop Shang Tang that day.

    Wenwan grabbed Mengxuan¡¯s fat little hand and helped her walk on the kang.  Mengxuan's legs were small and weak, so she leaned a little and fell down on the couch.  There was a thick brocade quilt on the couch, so it wouldn't hurt if I fell off.  Mengxuan fell down.  Then he crawled towards Wen Wan using his hands and feet.

    Wen Wan helped her up, and seeing Zhen Zhen's frowning face, she said with a smile, "You are too worried. Qingshan is fifteen today. She will be a hairpin girl in a few months. Find her a home, and let her be her daughter."  Stay in the house and embroider the dowry. Let's see how much trouble she can make. Once she gets married, she won't be able to come back twice a year. As for Shang Lin, just give it to him.  Find someone who can control your wife, and let Shang Tang find a job for him. Then he won't be busy hanging around the house with the maids looking for your scum. If the trouble is solved, others will praise you.  Okay." While Wen Wan was talking, Mengxuan fell again and got confused, but she got up without fear of pain and continued.  Smiling gently.

    "But I want to find a good family for Qingshan, with her mother's reputation" Zhenzhen hesitated.  It's really difficult now.

    Speaking of her low status, my sister is the noble princess who is most favored by the emperor in the current dynasty.  Without such a reputation, those who want to be married will not be able to break through the door.  But everyone in the capital with a little bit of brains knew that the children Wen Wan and An had had were incompatible with each other.  In addition, An's mother is still in prison.  How could a good family be willing to marry such a girl?

    "You don't have to look for officials. All you need to do is look for a few men who are wealthy, good-looking, and sweet-mouthed. After you find the man, you can give Miao a reference. Finally, let her have her brother.  It doesn't matter whether it's okay or not. Mengxuan, don't be afraid. Hehe, don't be afraid. We can't get up after falling down. My Mengxuan is so good.  Be good, my aunt likes it best." Wen Wanbaji kissed Mengxuan's little face.

    Meng Lan sat on the edge, seeing Wen Wan and Meng Xuan laughing happily there, she also smiled along with them.  The room was full of joy.

    Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Isn't that good?" If you marry into a businessman, you will be looked down upon in the future.  Officials and officials would not marry their daughters to merchants.  In ancient marriages, merchants had the lowest status.  Unless your family is selling their daughter for money, they will not marry their daughter, let alone their legitimate daughter, to a merchant family.

    Wen Wan got tired of playing with little Mengxuan, so she gave Mengxuan to the nanny beside her.  After washing his hands and wiping them with a white towel, he handed them to the maid next to him and said with a smile, "It's not up to you to say whether it's good or not. Besides, with Wufang's reputation now, how can he get a good family? If it weren't for Shang Qilin getting married.  It's too early for Miao to marry into the fifth family. Don't forget, except for Shang Tang, there is no official in the fifth family. "What?How could an official marry someone like Ping Qingshan?

    Seeing that Zhenzhen looked hesitant, Wen Wan wanted to ask, but Wen Wan was not interested in talking anymore, so she just stopped.  She's done enough.  I can't live for her.  If she hadn't liked Meng Lan and Meng Xuan, and was worried that the two children would be wronged in the future if they learned Zhenzhen's temper, Wen Wan would have given up on them long ago.  She's been lenient enough.

    Wen Wan changed the topic, "I asked the cook to cook your favorite dishes for lunch today. I'll eat more later. Menglan is already two years old. Can she eat by herself?"

    Seeing that gentleness shifted the topic, I didn't want to continue this topic again, and naturally it was not easy to follow this thing.  It is very rare for her to be able to remind herself like this.  Don't worry about the rest.  As long as Wen Wan can love her daughter.

    After lunch, Wen Wan asked Zhenzhen and the child to be taken down.  She asked Shang Tang to follow her to the study.  The Wenwan study room is very different from the previous layout: the desk is a lacquered gold table, and the table is covered with fine rice paper. The rice paper is held by a white jade unicorn paperweight; the bookshelf is also made of rosewood, and there are many  Books, many of which are copybooks and original copies of famous people; there are many vases and jars placed on the table next to them, which look like antiques and are of great value; several paintings and calligraphy by famous people are hung on the wall;  There are several bonsais, including coral bonsai, strange stone bonsai, and a black jade green pine bonsai.  Everything is priceless.

    Shangtang thought that when he was in the house in Bajing Hutong, the gentle study room was very simple.  Unexpectedly, this place is so luxurious now.

    Wen Wan didn¡¯t say anything. Shang Tang didn¡¯t want to be left alone. He saw the paper on the table and saw that it was of good quality.  She smiled and praised, "Sister, this rice paper of yours is of good quality. It looks better than ours from the Four Seasons. Recently we have been using the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the Four Seasons, but you don't know. Dad praised it several times."  "

    Wen Wan snorted coldly, "No matter how good the things are, he won't praise me." Seeing Shang Tang's face turn slightly red, she said in a slow tone: "Why talk about these unhappy things. This rice paper is specially for the emperor's uncle.  The emperor's uncle sent it to me for use if he liked it. There is a ration every month. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."

    Wenwan doesn¡¯t care.  This was specially ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do this.  It's not something that ordinary people can use.  She also took advantage of it.  However, it is generally used only when Wenwan focuses on painting.  It¡¯s too extravagant and wasteful to use this for calligraphy practice.

    Shangtang said sheepishly, "The emperor really loves my sister."

    Wen Wan was noncommittal, knowing that Shang Tang had realized that he had just said the wrong thing.  Didn't take it to heart.  She promised to Ping Xiang Xi'an to spend his old age. Firstly, he is the father of this body after all, and he has never done anything that has really harmed himself. Secondly, this society has extremely strict definitions of filial piety for children. She doesn't want to do that deviant thing yet.  A person who can be pointed out by thousands of people.  No matter where she is, only by adapting to the environment can she survive better. She has understood this truth very early.

    Now that she is in a high position, she must cherish her reputation even more.  Without waiting for the right opportunity, Youping broke away from the relationship with Xiangxi.  She will continue to be filial. Moreover, it is nothing more than spending some money to buy a good reputation.  Very good, not a loss.  (To be continued)
