    Seeing Wen Wan lowering her head, Shang Tang thought Wen Wan was very sad and said dryly, "Sister, don't be sad." In fact, he didn't feel sorry for Wen Wan either.  Dad committed such a serious crime, but he was safe and sound, all thanks to Wen Wan.  Otherwise, he would definitely still be in the cell now.

    Now my father has abandoned his official position and has lost all his family property.  We also need to provide food and clothing for the whole family in a gentle manner.  Wenwan also gave him the promise of a prosperous life in his later years.  But I have never seen him praise or even say a kind word.  On the contrary, he doted on the daughter who had no rules and regulations and was a concubine.  There are many partial parents, but it is rare in the world to be so partial.

    No matter how dissatisfied Shangtang felt, it was hard to say anything, although he couldn't stand Ping Xiangxi treating Wen Wan like this.  But, speaking of it, this father was pretty good to him.  He had no position to accuse him.

    Wen Wan looked at Shang Tang's uncomfortable expression and hesitated to speak, and knew that he had something to say. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't feel bad for me, and don't feel sorry for me. I don't care."  He doesn't treat me as a daughter, and I have long since stopped treating him as a father. I would do this just because he is my biological father after all. Otherwise, I, the noble princess, would not support my old father and let my biological father live in poverty and beg.  It¡¯s not only my face that¡¯s been embarrassed, but also the emperor¡¯s uncle. You don¡¯t need to feel sorry for me. If you have anything to say, if his demands are not high and within reason, I will consider it.¡±

    "Dad, he wants to ask, you promised to help Shang Tangguan reinstated, but there is no news yet. He wants to ask you, when can you fulfill your promise. Now Shang Qi and Shang Lin are doing nothing at home every day, and it will not be good for him to continue like this.  Okay." Shang Tang lowered his head after finishing speaking.  If he hadn't been forced, he would have been embarrassed to speak.  What does it mean to fulfill a promise, as if Wen Wan owes them.

    "That's what I said at the beginning. But then I became seriously ill and was recuperated in the palace for many days, and then went to Zhuangzi for recuperation for such a long time. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it. Now I have to wait until the Lantern Festival is over.  Anyway, please warn Ping Shangqi. If he keeps running around asking for help for his mother, I don't need to help him get his relationship back. He will still be impeached.  Disgraced. Tell him to shut up and be quiet in the future." Wen Wan said in a sharp tone.  She would help Ping Shangqi, and she really felt good about him.  Secondly, I don¡¯t want to be annoyed by Ping Xiangxi.  Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.  No matter how noble she is, she still has to abide by the laws of Daqi.  Filial piety is the first thing to be observed.  Ping Xiangxi made trouble for her, and it was she who was criticized.  At that time, Yan Guan's saliva drowned her.  Even the emperor's uncle might be implicated.

    "Wen Wan, your words are enough. I can find someone to smooth over this matter. But now the new emperor has just ascended the throne. Those adults have not figured out the emperor's temper. In addition, since you did not say anything, several adults are confused.  I'm afraid of offending you, so I've been putting it off. Now that you have the right words, I'll clear up the matter so that the censor doesn't know about it and it won't be good for you." Shang Tang hurriedly answered the question.  In fact, it¡¯s not that adults don¡¯t give face.  But he was worried about Wen Wan's duplicity.  So I kept putting it off.  Now that I see that Wen Wan really doesn't care, I feel relieved.

    Wen Wan listened, nodded, and agreed.  In fact, she is not afraid either.  Not that she's bolder now.  It's just that Shang Qi was implicated by his parents. There is nothing to impeach if he can clear the way and reinstate the censor.  But since Shangtang has this heart, just accept it.

    "You now hold an important position in the Ministry of Household Affairs. There are many people who are jealous of you. Now you not only have to work hard on errands, but you also have to make trouble for others to stumbling upon you. I can warn you. Those officials give concubines to each other or invite them  Don't get involved in business and other things. Who knows whether it's a concubine or a job, whether the business is profitable or a trap. You have a bright future, but don't ruin it for such trivial things. I also know that some people say that you are henpecked behind your back.  "Everything is going well with your family, and you won't lose a piece of meat if you are spoken to by others. Spend more time at home with your wife and children, and spend less time socializing with those who don't have enough." Wen Wan said in a preaching tone.

    Shangtang felt nervous because a colleague actually wanted to give him two beauties as a gift.  Because of the gentle warning, even though her heart was moved when she looked at the two pretty girls, she still reluctantly refused.  After that, rumors spread that he was henpecked.  Unexpectedly, Wen Wan knew everything.  But that wasn't what frightened him. He didn't expect that Mei Ji would be the one to do it.  He is just a small doctor, and others will not plot against him like this.

    "Don't take it seriously. My uncle and my mother are siblings from the same mother. You are the heir in my mother's name. My uncle will take care of you no matter what. As long as you make no mistakes and work hard, you will have a bright future.  . Careful work does not necessarily have to be effective now, but it will take its time later. Why do you think I don't want to get involved with anyone?  My uncle loves me in every way, but after a long time, his mind will fade away. You have to look at the long-term in life and work, don't just look at the present." Although Wen Wan didn't bother to go to Panying.However, if Shang Tang recovers, he will be responsible for all the troubles and cannot be found on her.  She can save a lot of trouble.

    Shang Tang opened his mouth, then quickly closed it.  He really hadn't thought about such a long-term issue.  Unexpectedly, Wen Wan now even considers future problems.  He has experienced several battles in the imperial court in the past few years, and every purge was thrilling.  When Wen Wan said this today, she was so shocked that her face turned pale.

    "You don't need to be afraid. I'm just preparing for a rainy day. From now on, you should watch more, do more, listen more, talk less, and be a low-key person. Don't involve yourself with other forces. As long as I am here, no one will dare to take advantage of their ambitions.  They are blatantly plotting against you. However, you still need to be vigilant. Don¡¯t be blinded by the benefits in front of you, and always keep a vigilant mind.¡±  When Shangtang gains experience in the future, not to mention adding a boost to his uncle, he will also save himself a lot of trouble.  You can blame all the bad things that happened to the Taira family on him.

    "Don't worry, I will do it." Shang Tang answered immediately.  But I was sighing in my heart. After all, I have stayed with the emperor, and my focus is different.  Take such a long-term view of things.  From now on, if you have anything to do, come and listen to Wen Wan¡¯s opinions.

    After talking about business matters, let¡¯s talk about private matters.  Wen Wan asked with great interest, "I heard that dad wanted to give you a second house? You declined. Why did you decline?"  As far as Wen Wan knows, although Ping Shangtang is not like his father, he is no different from ordinary men.  Can shirk.  It was beyond her expectation.

    Shangtang responded honestly, "I'm afraid that the house will be uneasy. Also, things can't be accomplished without rules. It's not like Zhenzhen can't have children, he will always give birth to a legitimate son." In fact, the most important thing is that he is afraid of being scolded gently.  This is the key.  All others are excuses.

    Wenwan could tell what Shang Tang was thinking with one glance.  I couldn't help but ask in a funny way, "What if cousin Zhenzhen never gives birth to a legitimate son? Dad didn't say that cousin Zhenzhen doesn't have a good look for a man, but what if it's true? What would you do?"

    "Huh?" Shang Tang really hasn't thought about this problem, what if he really doesn't have a son.  This is a big deal.  It must be a concubine.

    Shangtang thought for a while.  He said carefully, "If I don't give birth to a son by then, I will take a concubine. If I give birth to a son, I will raise him under Zhenzhen's name. Go to the mother and keep the son. In this way, nothing will happen." Leave the son to the mother.  , it can be regarded as a solution.

    Wen Wan sighed in her heart, women in ancient times have become goods. "If that's the case, just give the woman a good life and raise her. There is no need to send her away. It's not that she can't afford to raise her. Why wait until the child knows the truth and will be resentful?  Mother. Of course. I'm just saying it in case, it's too early for you to say this. But if this happens, I won't do it until I'm thirty."

    Shangtang was surprised for a while, looking at Wen Wan as if he was joking, and didn't say anything for a while.  Although he has a good relationship with Zhenzhen, they are so-called good wives and beautiful concubines.  Although the beauty of the Tongfang next to him is of high quality, compared with that beauty, she is still inferior.

    "Don't be angry with me for interfering in the affairs of your inner court. It's really my cousin. Although there was some cause and effect at the beginning, due to your situation at that time, it was all for my sake that my uncle could marry my cousin off to you. Even if you don't  Please be patient with me and I have to say it. If things really go wrong, I'm sorry for my uncle's kindness to me. So, you must be nice to her. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy, so I can only ask.  Please be more patient." Wen Wan made her position clear.  Of course, the tone is also very tactful.  You can be tough when you should be tough, regress when you should regress, and be gentle and gentle.

    "Sister, don't say that. I know it all. Don't worry, I will be really good to Zhenzhen. I will be good to her all my life. You don't have to worry." Shang Tang immediately promised that he would not take a concubine again after thirty years.  At that time, in that situation, if it weren't for Wen Wen.  How could he marry the Prime Minister's direct granddaughter?

    "Of course I believe you, otherwise, I wouldn't have accepted this marriage in the first place. But it's easy to block an open shot, but hard to guard against a hidden one. You should be more careful in the future. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me. I  You will live in the mansion from now on. It will be easier for you to see me than before." Wen Wan nodded secretly, her expression became much lighter.

    Although Zhenzhen¡¯s temper is indeed irritating, it has been developed naturally.  When I was willing to agree, I actually had the intention of protecting her. If she had the ability to take care of her, then she would take care of her. In this way, at least it would ensure that a person can live a happy life according to his nature!  So today, seeing the worried look on Zhenzhen's eyebrows, Wen Wan started to talk too much.  She couldn't do it to others, and she couldn't interfere.  But Zhenzhen is by your side, so help if you can!

    After returning to the inner room, someone led Zhenzhen into the side room.  The lily incense gifted from the palace was burning in the wing, and the room was filled with fragrance.  Wen Wan still didn't light incense in the palace, but when she returned to her mansion, Xia Xiang gave her advice and insisted?There will be no problem, just respond Wenwan.

    Zhenzhen walked in and saw that the decoration in the bedroom was not much different from the previous one, and secretly admired Wen Wan.  Today's Wenwan is far from what it used to be, but Wenwan can still be the same as before.  This state of mind is not something ordinary people can have.

    In fact, the decor of the elegant study and bedroom is mainly elegant.  Of course, no matter how indifferent you are, each of those good things is valuable.

    "I just talked with Brother Qi for a long time, and we talked about the fact that dad wanted him to have a second wife some time ago. I think that you are so worried now, you should be worried about this matter." Wen Wan held Zhenzhen's hand.  hand.  Women in this era are pitiful.  A man has three wives and four concubines, and the wife has to prepare beauties to take to bed.

    "What's the use of worrying. If my husband really wants to have a second wife, I, I will accept it. If Ruyu gave birth to a son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took in two concubines; Meier gave birth to a son, and his husband also took in two concubines; Yu  Xiu gave birth to a daughter, and her mother-in-law gave her husband a second wife. Everyone can accept it, and I¡¯m fine with it. What¡¯s more, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of it.  She said it briskly, but her hands were cold.  No woman would be happy for her husband to marry another woman.

    "You say it so easily, but you must feel uncomfortable in your heart. How could I let you do such a thing? Really. Who do you think I am." Wen Wan was angry and funny.  At the same time, I feel sad for the women of this era.

    "Ah, then tell my husband about this" Zhenzhen then raised her head.

    "I see you are so worried. Let him come up with a charter to save you from worrying so much. If you don't have a good life, I won't feel at ease either." Wen Wan said with a smile.

    "Then what did my husband say?" I was really worried, but also looking forward to it.  She had given birth to two daughters of her own and was somewhat lacking in confidence.  But there is still hope in my heart.

    "Don't worry. I've already made an agreement with him. If you reach the age of thirty and haven't given birth to a legitimate son, he will adopt a common marriage and give you a son to raise. I originally wanted to say that he is forty.  , but I'm afraid he won't agree. Really, this is all I can do for you. "There is nothing I can do." Wen Wan is a little sorry.

    "Really, my husband really agreed." I really didn't believe it.  Thirty years old, she is only nineteen now, and has ten years left.  She can definitely give birth to a son.

    Wen Wan nodded.  Zhenzhen still didn't believe it, but felt uncomfortable in his heart.  She must have been having a hard time during this time.  The pressure on my heart is understandable.

    "Don't worry, he won't dare to lie to anyone. Otherwise, I want him to look good. You also have to have confidence in him. If he says this, he will naturally fulfill his promise. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body.  I can only give birth to a fair and fat boy in the future." Wen Wan concealed her inner sigh and said with a smile.

    "Wen Wan, thank you, thank you. In the past few months I also know that this is wrong, and my mother also persuaded me, but I just can't get over it. If I haven't given birth to a son by the time I'm thirty,  , that¡¯s my life too. I don¡¯t have any thoughts anymore. Thank you, Wen Wan, thank you very much,¡± Zhenzhen said, wiping her tears.  This promise, to her, was simply a good thing falling from the sky.

    "What are you talking about? That's your husband. Naturally, you can't blame it on others. If you blame it on others, I will still be angry with you. Brother Qi will also think that you don't have him in your heart! You are not even twenty now. I won't  I believe that the Queen is asleep every time and doesn¡¯t see you begging her. Don¡¯t think so much, take good care of yourself and give birth to a big fat boy soon.¡± Wen Wan said.  Said in a relaxed tone.

    "Wen Wan, my sister-in-law always says that I am a blessed person and I must know how to cherish blessings. Wen Wan, I am really blessed. Sister Wen Wan, all my blessings are given by you, thank you." I am really grateful.  She naturally knew that Shang Tang agreed because of his gentleness.  Although she knew it was unvirtuous, she was naturally unwilling to do it since she could not give her husband to another woman, and she did not have a legitimate son yet.

    "Come here, bring the things up." Wen Wan turned to Zhenzhen and said that they were things that she had found from the treasurer. She thought they were suitable for her, so she gave them to her.

    Wenwan gave Zhenzhen a baby bowl.  The colorful bowls are clearly visible, and the coral-red ground pastel baby playing bowls are painted with six groups of children playing in the water, some playing with firecrackers, some playing with squirrels, and some reading books.  The expression is extremely vivid.  This bowl has a very good meaning, which means that you will have a son.  Looking at it really, I couldn't help but shed tears again.  Holding it in my hands and reluctant to let go.

    After Wen Wan waited for them to leave, she looked at Xia Yao and couldn't help but complain in her heart: "You said, you are only nineteen years old, do you need to worry so much about not having a son? You are going crazy."??" By the way, Wen Wan was planning to get married at the age of eighteen. Then she would be an old girl who couldn't get married. Later, it turned out that Wen Wan was tight-lipped.

    Seeing Wen Wan¡¯s incomprehensible look, Xia Yao smiled and ordered the tea to be brought down.  Help Wen Wan take off her coat: "Princess, the daughter of the back house relies on three things to survive. One is her husband's favor, the other is the power of her family, and the third is her son. And among the three, the most important thing is her son.  , that is fundamental. After the Seventh Lady gave birth to a son, the Seventh Young Master will definitely have a prosperous future because of the relationship with the Princess. Those who want to get married will definitely want to get married. It is normal for the Seventh Lady to be anxious.  "

    Wen Wan murmured: "Could it be that women are born just for their husbands and sons? They no longer have themselves. Really, it's so pitiful to be a woman here."

    Xia Yao smiled and did not answer. She spread out the quilt and prepared Wen Wan to take a nap.  Wen Wan lay down on the bed unhappy and fell asleep after a while.

    Xia Yao squeezed the quilt for Wen Wan.  Seeing the princess sleeping peacefully, I felt indescribably relieved.  She doesn't comment on other women, but the princess will definitely not just cower in the princess' mansion.  In the future, if any of the county horses, let alone three wives and four concubines, dare to think about it, she will have to destroy him.

    On the carriage, Shang Tang looked much happier when he saw Zhenzhen.  I sighed secretly in my heart, thirty will be thirty, ten years will be ten years.  (To be continued)
