Hua Meier wears a hollow lavender light silk brocade crescent dress on her upper body and a crimson skirt with hundreds of butterflies and flowers. She wears a flying moon bun and a shining hairpin on her head. Rouge was also applied to the face.
Who is Wen Wan? What was learned in the palace was the wink. Hua Meier's outfit is eye-catching, but the tiredness in her eyes cannot escape Wen Wan's eyes no matter how hard she hides them.
Mei'er held Wen Wan's hand and said, "I've always wanted to come and see you, and even planned to go to the village to see you. But I heard Zhenzhen say that even Shangtang didn't see you at the hot spring village, so he didn't go. But You can¡¯t say that I don¡¯t miss you!¡± After saying this, Meier felt particularly uncomfortable. It's mid-June now, and Wen Wan's hands are still cold. What kind of suffering did he suffer to make his body become so poor?
Wen Wan responded with a smile, "How come? You're here right now. Xia Xiang, bring up two cups of ginseng tea." Wen Wan used to take supplements, and everything in his mouth was a treasure. Otherwise, her body would not have recovered to what it is now. .
"I got the news that your brother has met you. I hurriedly came over to save you from being turned away in two days. Speaking of which, it's really hard for you. It's such a big thing, why? I just happened to meet you, and it makes me feel bad to see you like this." Meier looked at Wen Wan, but her expression changed a lot. My eyes were so uncomfortable that I burst into tears.
Wen Wan said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just take care of it slowly. How about you, are you okay? I heard that the Luo family is also in chaos. The Luo family is also involved because of Mr. Luo Liu." At this moment It's much better than the beginning. At least I still have body temperature now, and it's not as cold as before.
"Fortunately, the Duke of Guo doesn't deal with Mrs. Dou, nor does he have a good relationship with Mrs. Six. He is also cold to King Zhao. Although he is indeed involved this time, the emperor also knows. In addition, our titles It was an iron hat who only arrested all the people involved. As for the prince, although he was a loser in terms of women, he was also very smart and did not involve them. As long as the two of them are not involved, nothing will happen. It's just that the Duke has donated 70% of his family property. However, things will be difficult for a while. Time, just let it go. Compared to many people, we are already lucky," Meier said nonchalantly.
"Tell me about it. Compared to who are you lucky?" Wen Wan became interested. I haven¡¯t listened to gossip for a few days. Now, let¡¯s listen to gossip.
"For example, Anlehou Anjia, Shenjianhou Baijia, Shanhou Xujia, Zhennanhoufu, and Weiyuanhoufu all had their titles taken away and their homes ransacked." Seeing that Wen Wan was listening carefully, Meier continued: " Among them, the Bai family was the best. They only had their property confiscated and no members of the clan were implicated. The emperor was still concerned about General Bai who was at the border. With Bai Shinian here, the Bai family will still prosper. The Shanhou Xu family, the Zhennan Houfu, and the Weiyuan Houfu were all implicated in this rebellion and surrendered their titles. The family property was confiscated and all were demoted to common people. Among them, the An family was the worst. All the adult men were beheaded and sold in the capital. Rumor has it that the reason why the emperor attacked An Jia so harshly was to vent his anger on you." Meier agreed with the last sentence. Otherwise, even with such great achievements, there would be such a big difference in how to deal with them.
"That was their own fault and has nothing to do with me. Where are the other clans involved in the rebellion?" Wen Wan said nonchalantly. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"Princess Fuling was given a glass of poisonous wine by the emperor. After all, her daughter was married off to someone else's family. However, her title of county chief was also taken away, but she was not killed. There is no one left in King Zhao's lineage, and King Heng is There is only a three-year-old bastard left in the family. Although the family is imprisoned, they are still together. Looking at the emperor's behavior, he should not kill King Zhou again. I can listen. He said that King Zhou and the Emperor had never been against each other since he was a child. The Emperor was willing to guard him. Wen Wan said that it was you who saved King Zhou. Is that true? asked curiously.
Wen Wan said with a smile: "People in the capital really think that I have such great ability to make the emperor listen to me. It is the emperor's uncle who misses the brotherhood and does not want his brothers to be disabled. For the sake of the late emperor, Let him live." Without gentle pleas, King Zhou would have definitely become a bumpkin. It's just that you can't say this to the outside world, as long as the uncle and nephew know it in their hearts.
Naturally, it is impossible for Meier to be convinced by this statement. But Wen Wan didn't know, and she didn't ask too many questions. There are many things that cannot be talked about, no matter how close the relationship is: "Speaking of which, I feel that Xu Zhongran, the former eldest son of Zhennan Hou Mansion, is quite powerful. I heard that if it weren't for him, the Xu family would not be what it is now. The Xu family Although he lost his title, he still?But he entered the officialdom. After all, he was really powerful, and he was able to escape from this killing. "
Wen Wan smiled faintly: "When he asked to establish the crown prince, his two stepmothers did not agree, and they tried their best to stop it. In the end, my uncle, the emperor, helped to put in a good word. I am not surprised at all that he can escape this disaster. "
Meier continued: "Wen Wan, this is a rebellion. In the capital, four to five million people died in the war. It was the common people who suffered. However, I heard that your Royal Charity Hall rescued many people there. The people all remember the royal family¡¯s kindness in their hearts.¡±
After hearing this, Wen Wan smiled and said, "This is what I should do. It was originally the grudge caused by the royal family, which made the people suffer. I just tried my best. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Meier chuckled, and the small power in her gentle mouth helped thousands of people, leaving them homeless and rebuilding their homes. However, Meier saw that Wen Wan didn't want to talk anymore, so she changed the subject and pretended to be pitiful and begged Wen Wan, "Wen Wan, you still have fruit wine here. It's hard to get the one in Yiyuan. I want it here." Take away a jar. You don¡¯t know, not only my mother-in-law likes to drink the fruit wine you made, but also my father-in-law. He always urges me to buy some to honor her. You must help me, I have this excuse."
It was rare for Wen Wan to see Mei Er pretending to be pitiful, so she happily agreed, "Okay. A jar of peach blossom wine for you, and a jar of wine for your parents-in-law." If you want to be bold, just be bold. Wen Wan said happily: "However, if you get it next time, the price will be higher. The wine I have here is reserved for myself to drink, and you can't buy it outside."
Meier said with a smile, "Don't worry. I still have money to buy wine. But I not only have to bring wine back today, I also want to drink. I came to you today to have a good time. Don't stop me." Me. Do you know?"
Holding Mei'er's hand, she whispered, "What's wrong? Are you worried? I see your brows have been furrowed from the moment you walked in to the present. Is there something embarrassing? I treat you as a sister. , if you have any difficulties, tell me, as long as I can help, I will not stand aside. "
Meier shook her head, "Wen Wan, I'm here to visit you, not tell you those bad things. No one can live without a moment of trouble." But when she said this, her eyes were red. . Unspeakably uncomfortable.
Wen Wan understood clearly, probably because she was wronged: "If you have something to say, just say it. You, I am the only one who can speak your mind. Why are you hiding it in front of me?" At home? Mother cannot say. For fear of worrying, the husband's family can't even talk about it. It's even worse to say that. cough. Counting over and over again, you can make noises to her, otherwise you will be stifled.
Mei'er had endured it for a long time. Now after listening to Wen Wan's words, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Wen Wan, the prince wants to take a girl from the building as his concubine. I don't know what's wrong with him. He has to live or die." A promiscuous woman. My mother-in-law said that I can¡¯t hold my husband¡¯s heart. So how can I hold him back? Sometimes, I really envy Zhenzhen, who has been married for more than 5 years. If a concubine is not accepted, she will live by her. There is no mother-in-law to make things difficult, and there is a sister-in-law like you who cares about her. The same goes for the one in my family. In less than 5 years, more than 10 people have come into the house. I have no other expectations. But he can't abuse me like this. My mother-in-law used to treat me like a daughter, but this time, she scolded me. This made me feel really uncomfortable. When I think about living in the same room with such a despicable woman, I feel so disgusted that I can't even be a couple."
As Meier spoke, tears fell from her eyes. Wen Wan watched her cry, brought her one handkerchief after another, and patted her gently.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Wen Wan asked lightly, "Is everyone in the family opposed to his taking a brothel girl as a concubine? Especially you, who are particularly opposed."
Meier nodded.
The girl smiled softly and said, "You! I have been with Luo Shouxun for a while, and I know his temperament quite well. He is a person who likes softness but not hardness. Of course, if you are tougher than him, let's talk about it separately. , I was stronger than him, so he obeyed me. But you can't force him, this guy is a chauvinist! Mei'er, if you don't agree to let him in, you can't fight with him like this. If you do this, of course he will fight against you. You can only be gentle with him. If you try to cry to him and tell him your grievances and pains, he may give up the idea." Wen Wan. He gave Meier such a bad idea.
During this period, Meier herself suffered a lot of ridicule from her sister-in-law, and her mother-in-law also scolded her again and again, but there was nothing she could do. For gentle words, she hasSome hesitation: "Is it useful?"
Wen Wan chuckled and said sarcastic words, "It must be useful. You think, you always look like a fairy and are aloof. For a rough guy like him, he must have an inferiority complex. You cry and beg like this, Bai Liangang has to turn into Rao Zhirou and make him promise not to let women from the brothel come in, and nothing like this will happen again."
Meier hesitated, "That way, I wouldn't be so shameless."
Wen Wan teased, "You have to know, he is your husband. If you are too resolute and eccentric, you don't need his protection. He, a man with a macho mentality, will naturally look outside. Before he got married, he I'm so in love with you, but now you ask like this and you can't coax him to agree immediately. Haha, it depends on whether you are willing to use this beauty trick. As for being shameless, what does this mean between husband and wife? . If you don¡¯t agree, you¡¯ll be in trouble.¡±
Meier has had enough. With her proud temperament, the thought of calling a brothel girl sister and sister made her sick to death. Compared with this, it is still acceptable to use a honey trap on your husband. After all, they have been married for a few years. "As long as it works, I dare to try it."
Wen Wan laughed loudly, "It seems that the peach blossom wine I sent will be put to great use soon." Imagining Luo Shouxun, a dazed young man who was so confused by Mei'er's beauty trap, Wen Wan felt special tease.
Xia Yao was on the side, shaking her head and laughing. The princess really does act like a child sometimes. cough. Xia Yao was speechless.
Wen Wan waited for Mei'er to leave and asked, "How are things going over there?"
Xia Yao said: "They also assisted the government to help the people resettle their homes. The emperor also exempted taxes for one year. However, there are still a total of two hundred and sixty-eight children who can be returned to five families, including eighty-nine girls. . These children are homeless. Princess, what are your plans?"
Wen Wan thought for a while and said: "You ask people to pick out the useful ones. As for the other ones, just like in the capital. Ask people to teach them how to read and practice calligraphy. Then ask people to teach them some deep-seeking skills. When the time comes, At a certain age, we arrange them to work as errands." This can be regarded as giving these children a place to live.
Xia Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."
As soon as Luo Shouxun arrived home, he saw someone coming up to him by the door and saying, "My lord, my wife, please go back to the main courtyard. She is waiting for you in the room." Although Luo Shouxun didn't want to go back, his wife had to follow her when she returned. Noisy, his wife often made him speechless. At that moment, I suppressed the irritability in my heart and agreed. But I have something else to do, so I¡¯ll get there later.
Luo Shouxun waited until 2:00 (about eight o'clock) before entering Mei'er's Wutong Courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he didn't see any maids or women. He saw the lights in the house. Thinking of his wife's difficulty, he stepped into the yard. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife wearing a bright red coat and pants of the same color. Sitting on the couch doing needlework. Seeing that the fabric in her hand was royal blue, she knew that it was for making clothes for herself, and her heart softened. (To be continued)
