Princess Fuling was on the carriage, holding her daughter's hand. Xinying hugged Princess Fuling with red eyes: "Mom, you will be fine, don't worry."
Since Xinying got married, she has learned a lot. The Tong family has very strict rules, and even though Xinying is the head of the county, she doesn't have any special care. Suffered some hardships. Xinying is no longer as charming and innocent as before. "Mom, you should know this. I shouldn't have offended her in the first place. The rules that should be followed must be followed. If you don't obey, the family law will serve you. If you want to ask your mother's family for help, you can, please You can just take it back with you (the Tong family¡¯s rigorous family tradition was praised by two emperors, so it¡¯s pretty awesome).¡±
The Tong family gave birth to a queen and two noble concubines. There have also been several royal concubines. Now one is Prince Hao's crown prince. Although the relationship between Prince Hao and the current emperor is that of uncle and nephew, they are actually no different from brothers. He is also a powerful figure. However, the Tong family never takes sides and pursues loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. This is the fundamental reason why they have been able to rule for two hundred years.
Princess Fuling looked at her daughter, feeling relieved and sad: "Don't worry. As long as your brother marries the daughter of the Guo family, we will be on the same page as the Guo family. It's you. Take good care of yourself in the past few months. Give birth to a son as soon as possible. No matter what happens in the future, you are a married woman and nothing will happen to you."
Xinying was a little panicked: "Mother, are you hiding something from me? Is it because the emperor still refuses to let mother go?"
Fuling touched Xinying's head lovingly: "Silly girl, mother is hiding something from you. As long as you are good, mother will be satisfied." She spent a lot of money to get Guo Tong to agree to marry the concubine. Because Guo Tong only had one legitimate daughter, and because the queen and the prince were in trouble. She was able to get a concubine to marry into the prince's mansion, and she had to spend a lot of money to get the result. She didn't ask for much, just that nothing would happen to her son when the time came.
Ping Xiangxi¡¯s 40th birthday. Ask someone to deliver a letter to Wen Wan, asking her to come over today. Wen Wan refused because she wanted to be filial to the late emperor. Wen Wan's reason is justifiable. Keeping the late emperor's filial piety is more important than attending Ping Xiangxi's 40th birthday.
The gentle words will be answered shortly. If you come again, please Wen Wan must go back this time. This time Zhengshou is not going to be easy. Only invite your closest relatives. Wen Wan didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, so she still didn't answer. Just say that the ceremony will arrive when the time comes. People who hate each other. What a hardship.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t expect that the Duke and his wife personally wrote a post, asking Wen Wan to attend Ping Xiangxi¡¯s 40th birthday. He said he had something important to discuss. Wen Wan still refuses.
Unexpectedly, Ping Xiangxi asked Shang Tang to be a lobbyist (other people could not enter the house. Even if they did, they would not see anyone). Please be sure to attend Wenwan. Otherwise, he would have come to visit her personally.
Wen Wan knocked on the table, wondering what she was planning. It just so happens that my mind is confused recently. I want to find a good way to come up with it.
Wenwan returned to the fifth room at the end of a quarter of noon (11:30). I saw that there was no carriage outside. Entered the inner room. No guests were seen, but the whole family in the big room was heard coming over. There were no other guests except family. Wen Wan smiled, it seemed that they did what they said.
Wen Wan came here today, not in a golden sedan, but in her own carriage. There were also unused velvet flowers hanging in front of the carriage (you could tell by looking at them that they were observing filial piety). When we got off the bus, the faces of the people waiting outside the door were all colorful.
What does it mean. Happy birthday to my dear father. Come in a filial chariot. This is not a curse for my biological father to die early and be born early. This is too, too much. When Wen Wan came out, everyone lowered their heads.
Wen Wan wears a crescent white dress made of brocade. There is an agarwood hairpin in her bun, a pair of pearl earrings, and a pair of silver bracelets inlaid with pearls on her left wrist. The dress is very simple.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I was greeted by Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen is wearing a light blue shirt with pink trim. Wearing a black Dayun vest. The silk bun is inlaid with precious gold phoenix hairpins, and the red gold steps are inserted diagonally; a pair of opal and lapis lazuli beads are embedded on both sides; a pair of gilt jade flower basket earrings are worn; on the left hand is a jade bracelet, and on the right Wearing two gold bracelets.
Zhenzhen looked at Wen Wan¡¯s dress and just wanted to speak. Mother Mao pulled her clothes and coughed hard at the side. She really pouted her lips. In the end, I swallowed back what I wanted to say. But there was still concern in his eyes.
Wen Wan chuckled and said, "Don't worry. Let him talk if you want to. Let's see if he dares to say it! As for Meng Lan and Meng Xuan, I haven't seen these two girls for a long time."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of curiosity, Wenwan only dared to say this. I don¡¯t know if people would say it was unfilial if word got out. But knowing Wen Wan's temperament, he could only hold back the anxiety in his heart and follow her: "In the yard! Meng Lan said every day that she wanted to see her aunt, and I was afraid of disturbing you."
???????????????????????????????????????: "Well, I have been quite busy recently. It will be fine once the busy period is over. These two little girls on the ground will go to my mansion to play for a day."
The duchess and his wifeMrs. Zi, Mrs. Third, Mrs. Ninth and others. Everyone is covered with flowers and dressed in red and green, which looks very festive.
Qingshan looked at Wen Wan's attire with sharp eyes, and immediately shouted out, with a very angry tone: "Today is my father's 40th birthday. You are dressed like this. Who doesn't know and thinks you are here for a funeral? Are you here on purpose?" You'll make dad unhappy by vomiting us!"
The Duke¡¯s wife was also startled when she looked at Wen Wan¡¯s clothes. Although it is said politely to observe filial piety, it is enough to wear plain clothes, there is no need to dress like this. Only those who observe filial piety will wear agarwood hairpins and plain white jewelry. Wenwan is just a granddaughter, and she only needs to observe filial piety for half a year.
Xia Ying was busy nearby and said coldly, "The princess said that the emperor passed away less than three years ago, and the princess is still in the period of filial piety." Wen Wan's eyebrows did not move.
The Duke¡¯s wife moved her lips twice but did not speak. She didn't speak, and no one else was willing to speak either.
?????????? If it were anyone else, you could say that the gentle grandpa was the late emperor. Who dares to say that your filial piety has been fulfilled and you no longer need to keep filial piety for your grandpa. If the news reaches the ears of the current emperor, he will definitely eat it up and walk around. Last month, the Minister of Rites recommended that concubines should be adopted, and the emperor reprimanded him for having more children. The reason is that the deceased emperor's body is still alive, so how can he accept concubines.
"You honor your grandpa and don't care about dad's birthday. Today is my dad's birthday. Are you dressing like this to curse dad to die early?" Qingshan sneered.
I didn¡¯t even bother to explain it to her with gentle words. Xia Yao slapped her twice, hitting Qingshan on the head so much that she vomited a mouthful of blood. "You actually compared the late emperor to a subordinate (meaning guilty minister). You are seeking death."
The expressions of the people next to him changed again and again. If Qingshan's words were heard by someone with evil intentions, everyone in Duke Ping's mansion would suffer. No, I really need to marry this thing off as soon as possible. Otherwise, the entire Taira family will be involved.
Miao was extremely angry. I finally got such an opportunity and begged Wenwan to come back. I want to ease the relationship with Wen Wan. It will be of great benefit to her husband's career in the future. She did something bad again. This stupid sister was going to be mad at her to death. no. You have to find a family quickly and marry her out, otherwise. It will harm your husband for the rest of his life. Immediately, he quickly asked his mother-in-law to help him down.
this will. The Taira family all had the same thoughts.
Wen Wan seemed not to notice it, and her expression did not change at all.
The Duke's wife held Wen Wan's hand and said with a smile, "Why do you say these depressing words? It's all in the past. Come and show it to your eldest aunt. Well, she is getting more and more beautiful. I don't know who will live in the future." My son is lucky enough to marry Wenwan from my family." It seems that everything that happened just now was an illusion. Since she wants to pretend to be confused. Then let's all pretend to be confused.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t answer, just smiled. Unconsciously, she let go of Mrs. Pingguo's hand and sat back in her seat.
"Princess, Madamthe banquet has begun. Please come to the table." After saying that, a group of female relatives went to the side hall. Had lunch. The food was pretty good.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t worry about her stomach, and she was sixty percent full after eating. After dinner, Wen Wan wanted to see her two nieces.
"Princess, the Duke and the Fifth Master have invited you." As soon as Wen Wan heard this, she knew it was not a good thing. However, he went as he was told.
The Duke's wife said kindly, "I'll go with you and see what these old men want to say to our family Wen Wan."
Gentle and gentle, without words.
Since Wen Wan came in, the Duke¡¯s wife has been paying close attention to Wen Wan¡¯s every move. But what shocked her was that Xia Yao knocked Qingshan unconscious when Qingshan spoke out. She didn't say anything gentle, and even her eyes didn't waver at all. It is said that the king's heart is unpredictable. Could it be that Wen Wan has also learned a bit about the emperor's mind? If that's the case, then Wen Wan really needs to be tried hard to please.
When they arrived at the main room, the maid said that the Duke asked the eldest lady to wait outside for a while, and led Wen Wan to the main room. The first thing that caught Wen Wan's eyes was a pair of beauty porcelain vases from the Tang Dynasty, a three-star Gaozhao porcelain vase from the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty, several antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as the round sandalwood table they were sitting on and the gold lacquer table by the side wall. The house is full of antiques, luxury and splendor. Wen Wan chuckled. Mother Gu said that Ping Xiangxi asked Qiang to stay. Just stay.
I don¡¯t know when Ping Xiangxi will use it to exchange money.
A man who looked familiar to Wen Wan immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Ask Wenwan for help and let his father, the third master, come out.
The Duke of Guo wished he could pay him and kick him to death. Even if they are cousins, it should be done with national etiquette, and then the elders like them should propose it gently. As it is now, Wen Wan won't care. And he still had something to discuss with Wen Wan.
Wen Wan looked at the people in the room without moving. Uncle, Cheap Dad, Shang Hong, Shang Wei, and several othersHer nominal cousins ??are all inside. A group of people all stared at Wen Wan. Wen Wan's expression didn't move at all. Suddenly, Wen Wan smiled, "If you have anything, just say it."
The Duke of Guo said lovingly, "Shang Yuan also said just now that he wants you to help unblock the house and rescue your third uncle. They are all broken bones and tendons. We are all one family. If you can help, please help." Wenwan, we can only rely on you for this matter."
Wen Wan seemed to have heard an incredible joke and laughed happily, "Why did I want to save him, Third Uncle? Every day in prison, I said that I loved the young man the most, and I followed his daughter-in-law's nephew, the handsome young man, to flirt with me. The two of them were in a passionate relationship for a while, and when they got tired of it, they beat him until he couldn't get up from the bed. Some people ask for marriage to cover up the scandals that I have done. The Taira family is specialized in such talents."
The Duke's face turned blue and purple, "This, this, Wen Wan, you can't listen to rumors!"
Shang Yuan was also very bluffed, "You, you, you are so mouthy"
Wen Wan said coldly, "Nonsense and spewing blood? You ask my great father, he is his own son who heard someone slandering me like this. He still has a conscience, so he retorted and reprimanded a few words. Like this You want me to save them. Haha, if I have this energy, I might as well save a few more cats and dogs. They will be grateful to me for saving their lives."
"Fifth brother, this is true." Duke Guo asked with some disbelief. Ping Xiangxi looked surprised, but he was obviously surprised that Wen Wan knew about this.
The Duke of Guo looked at this. I knew it was true, and I was so angry that I was shaking all over. I begged so many people and sold so many favors. It's not easy for people to relax. As long as the princess has spoken, she will be released. At this moment, he is really looking for death. never mind. If you are looking for death, who can you blame?
"If possible, you should rescue him. He is your third uncle after all." Ping Xiangxi couldn't bear it after all. Life in prison is too hard, otherwise the third brother wouldn't be like this.
"You can save yourselves if you can, but I don't have such a big heart. Also, you'd better be polite when talking to me in the future, and don't yell at me. From the time I was born to now, I haven't spent any time in your Heike family. Money, I don't bother you at all. My grandpa and uncle gave me all my food and clothing. I don't owe you anything. I don't owe you anything. It's just my misfortune that I have taken over your name. This is my last warning. There will be another time. Don't blame me for being rude. "Wen Wan." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"You, you are so unfilial." Shang Yuan shouted immediately after hearing this.
"There is no daughter in the capital who is more filial than me. I think that I have been extremely benevolent to you. Don't think that you have forgotten what happened without mentioning it. I have always been worried about the leakage in my body. I am half the blood of the Taira family, so I can endure this. If the investigation is carried out, hundreds of members of the Taira family will be executed. Don't forget that the princess and my uncle are biological siblings. I have forced the last bit of blood connection to disappear. When the time comes, everything will be torn apart. I don't care about family or righteousness. You're wronging yourself. Mr. Pingwu, you'd better see your situation clearly. You can't get any advantage but still act like a good boy. Without me, you're no better than a beggar on the roadside." Wen Wan looked at the room with a half-smile. people. The people in the room were all horrified when Wen Wan looked at them like this.
In fact, what Wen Wan is worried about is not bloodline at all, but public opinion. In this society, if I beat my children to death, nothing will happen. But if the children only want to spread the word that you are unfilial and disobedient to your parents, it is not as simple as peeling off your skin. Daughters cannot marry into good families, and sons cannot have a good future. Wen Wan doesn't want her reputation to be damaged because of this matter.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, a person's reputation is very important. And ancient times were even harsher than modern times. In ancient times, once your reputation was damaged and you were scorned by others, you could not recover it no matter how much you did. If word spread that she was unfilial now, she would be the target of attack. Although she is not afraid, it is still a shameless thing. Moreover, it will also create great hidden dangers. This is also the real reason why she is so tolerant.
"You shouldn't be like this. If you have nothing to do, you can go back first." The Duke of Guo suddenly felt a little sad. Gentleness is not something they can describe. The emperor was her biological uncle, and he loved her so much. She no longer had to worry about anything. Therefore, towards them, there is no longer the forbearance and awe that we had before.
"Wenwan." Ping Xiangxi looked at this stranger who was originally a stranger, but now she looked more like an unknown daughter.?Cried out unconsciously.
Wen Wan looked at Ping Xiangxi with a look of unbearable anger, her anger had long since disappeared. Some are just full of sarcasm and ridicule, "Although I would rather be someone who jumped out of a rock than have a scumbag father like you. But you are indeed my father, my biological father, not my stepfather or my adoptive father." , you are my biological father, this is a fact that I cannot change. For the sake of half of your blood flowing in my body, I guarantee that you will have a prosperous old age. Don't challenge me anymore. You must be patient. Otherwise, I will not make it easy for anyone. I will make you angry and lock you in jail until you die. You should know that I have this ability. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can give it a try.¡±
Wen Wan¡¯s last sentence was too devastating. No one present dared to say a word.
Wenwan glanced at the people in the room and walked out immediately.
Shang Yuan cried and begged, "Uncle, what should I do about my father? What should we do? Uncle, you have to save my father and save us. We don't want to be common people."
"He asked for it, and he deserves to die in prison. How dare he fabricate and slander his own niece like this. Once word spreads, not only will the emperor be furious, but even my daughter of the Taira family will be implicated innocently. Disaster. He was the one who broke in and planted the evil himself. No one can save him. Let him die in prison." Ping Xiangcheng was so angry that his head was about to explode. There are actually such brothers, one is like this, two are like this, and three are still like this. Did the Taira family do something evil in the previous life, which resulted in all these things happening?
"Wen Wan, I'll leave now." Zhenzhen looked at Wen Wan's calm expression and thought it was okay. But she didn't want to turn around Wenwan and leave.
Wen Wan¡¯s original intention was just to hang out and take a look at her two cute nieces. Since there was something going on in the shop, I had to go take a look anyway. There won¡¯t be many stops. He told Zhenzhen that he would take the two girls to her mansion another day. Got on the carriage and left. (To be continued)
