In March, Wen Wan returned to the capital. Back in the capital, Wen Wan was busy again. Nowadays, Guangyuan Bank's development is booming, and it has the vague momentum of a bank boss. If Wen Wan hadn't been unwilling to expand aggressively, he would have become the boss of the bank now. However, it won't be long.
The three ships in Haikou are not enough. Three more ships are now scheduled to be built. The supply needs to be picked up. She needs to adjust these. Wen Wan felt as if she had returned to modern times, and was more powerful than in modern times. In modern times, she was only one of the second in command. Now she is the leader.
The main reason why Wen Wan didn¡¯t take over that big business was that he not only knew that being a leader required ability, but also that he needed to control the abilities of those below him, and he also had to be able to socialize. She knew very well that she was only qualified for the first item, and the second and third items fully showed that she was unqualified. But it's different now, your Majesty, she doesn't worry about the people below being disobedient at all. As for socializing. Only others came to beg her, so there was no need for her to entertain others. Wen Wan does this job very well.
Not long after Wenwan came back, Yuxiu sent people to give Meier a lot of local specialties. Meier looked at those things and put them away.
Ping'er said carefully: "Madam, Mrs. Gu also had a rift with the princess. It seems that they have stopped contacting each other. I don't know what happened?"
Meier didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. "Wen Wan can't do this for no reason. Well, forget it. Don't mention this terrible thing. Wen Wan must be so sad about these successive things."
Ping'er, however, was puzzled: "Madam, there may be some misunderstanding between the princess, Miss Yiyi, and Empress Zhaorong. It will be over in a while."
Meier sighed: "Where did so many misunderstandings come from? There must be some internal reason. Otherwise, Wenwan would not break off the relationship. When you are in a high position, you will only encounter more and more calculations. Even the people around you will No one is exempt. I want to see her."
As for Wenwan, as long as she is in the mansion and not in the palace, Meier will see her after posting the message. Meier came over the next day.
Meier looked very good when she saw Wen Wan: "I see, I seem to be a lot fatter than last year!"
He said softly. Please bring me a mirror and take a look. He muttered that he was not fat, but he was still the same. Wenwan is still influenced by modern times. I don¡¯t want to be fat.
This gentle behavior made Meier laugh to death. Xia Yao couldn't stop laughing either. I have never seen their princess behave in such a childish manner.
Meier rubbed her belly and said: "It's better to be fatter. It's better to be fatter. Don't be surprised. It scared me."
¡°Isn¡¯t this a surprise for you? Why don¡¯t you bring the little tiger and the little leopard? If you don¡¯t bring them, you can save me two big red envelopes.¡±
Mei'er looked regretful and shouted hurriedly: "Ping'er, hurry up and send a message back. Bring Brother Tiger and Brother Leopard over. Come and get the big red envelope." That look made several people look at him with joy. . The scene was festive.
Wen Wan said: "You were so busy in the past. Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Mei'er clicked her tongue twice and said: "Thank you for saying this. I hid in Zhuangzi to enjoy the blessings. You still have the nerve to say that I have forgotten you. You don't know how much I envy you. I really want to be like you, even in one winter. I can be at ease in Zhuangzi. "But there are so many things in the Duke's palace, and he still has to take care of two children. She can have some leisure there.
The two talked for a long time and talked about things in the capital. Mei'er talked about the five rooms in the Taira family. Wen Wan hasn't heard from them for a long time. I knew that Ping Xiangxi was still lying on the bed. Half dead, Shang Qi also ran to work as a shopkeeper.
Xia Yao knows all this news. Wenwan just didn't ask, and Xia Yao didn't say anything. Wen Wan wouldn't bother to ask.
Mei'er said: "You deserve to die from illness. However, Wenwan, no matter how much he goes too far, even if we break away from the relationship, he is still your biological father. If he really has no money for treatment and dies of illness, you will always be killed in the future. People criticize you. Please deal with it!"
Wen Wan twitched her brows: "It's probably the person from your family who said it, right? Just think about it and you'll know it's not a good thing. Don't worry, I know what I know."
Meier thought about it and told Wen Wan what happened yesterday, "I know you don't take it to heart. But, I always feel sorry for you. Well, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be the emperor." Reprimanded, still facing the wall at home and thinking about it.¡±
Wen Wan smiled: "I forgot about it a long time ago. I'm so busy every day now. How can I have time to think about such things. Don't feel guilty. I did it myself, and I deserve to be reprimanded. Forget it. , don¡¯t feel bad. It really has nothing to do with you. I¡¯ll be really annoyed if you stay like this.¡±
Wen Wan still looked guilty when she saw Mei'er, so she thought about it and changed the subject. As time goes by, it will be forgotten. So I deliberately made fun of?: "What's the matter, has your wife hired any beauties recently? How many have you hired? Has he used a honey trap again?" There was a teasing look on his face.
Seeing Wen Wan¡¯s gossipy attitude, Meier angrily pounced on Wen Wan and tickled Wen Wan. It made Wenwan beg for mercy for a while. Mei'er then gave up and said, "You can just gloat about your misfortune. It will be my turn to make fun of you in the future. Humph, I'll take my capital back with interest."
Wen Wan curled her lips, "Then you can't wait any longer. If my future husband dares to be like Luo Shouxun, he's going to be rebellious. If he dares to flirt with women, I'll make him a eunuch. But if you marry Luo Shouxun, That guy is hopeless. He still has another skill. Do you know that that guy is very good at smelling fragrances? "
Meier looked at Wen Wan with a look of contempt on Luo Shouxun, and thought about what Luo Shouxun said about Fu Xi always saying this and that about him in the past, and she seemed to enjoy it very much. He smiled and said, "I'm bothering him. It's as if he has never seen a woman in his life. I guess he must have been a monk in his previous life, otherwise he would be unable to walk wherever he saw a beautiful woman. It was fine before, but now it's getting worse. I'm too lazy." I told him. Fortunately, I won¡¯t take it home. But speaking of it, I really envy you.¡±
Wen Wan asked strangely: "Envy me? What do you envy me for?"
Meier said cheerfully, "You don't know that whenever it's your memorial day, he and Prince Chun will go to Huangjue Temple to burn incense for you. Every year during the Ghost Festival, he doesn't forget to burn a lot of money for you. The gold ingots are burned in piles, and the beauty and big houses are burned a lot every year! There are more than a dozen big houses that I know of, and they are enough for you to live in. Fuxi, are you comfortable? ¡±
Mei'er's words made Wen Wan shiver. Wen Wan Mao Mao said, "Please don't say it in such a scary way. Why don't you give me incense? Don't tell me this in the future. It really scared me to death. I'm not dead yet, just burn some paper money."
"Speaking of which, I have never seen him be so affectionate for any woman. Really, the living cannot compare to the dead." After she finished speaking. Looking at Wen Wan, he smiled.
Wen Wan shivered on purpose, stood up and pretended to chase people away, "Go back, hurry back to your house. You know I'm a coward, but you're here to scare people."
"You are the only one who is timid. Then there are no bold people. Wen Wan, to be honest, I really envy you. With such a good brother, how happy they would be if they knew that you are still alive. Why? If you can't tell them, nothing will happen." Meier changed the subject.
Wen Wan shook her head, "Don't talk about this matter. When it comes to light naturally, it will be exposed."
Meier sighed slightly and said, "You have done enough for Prince Chun over the years. If it weren't for you, would he have been able to keep his title and live so peacefully? But he cough"
Wen Wan said nonchalantly, "It's all in the past, what's the point of mentioning it. Now he's living a good life. Okay. Let's not talk about these unhappy things. I said, why didn't you resist at that time! Xiao Tiger sounds pretty good. But little leopard doesn't sound so good. Why does that guy Luo Shouxun have such tacky names? He's not good at writing, so don't wait until you give birth to a daughter named Little Sheep. Little kid, you are crying."
"Mei'er really has a headache. "Ahem, don't mention this to me. I get a headache when I mention it. But let me choose my daughter's name in the future. You are so good at picking names, help me refer to it when the time comes."
Wen Wan shook her head like a rattle: "I am incompetent in naming, don't look for me."
Mei'er said cheerfully: "I think Mengxuan and Menglan are both very nice. They are so humble, and they just speak up without giving any help." The two talked for a long time, and Meier went back after lunch.
Ping'er said from the side: "Madam, it's really useless to worry. It seems that the princess doesn't care about these things at all."
Meier sighed quietly when she heard this. She actually envies Wen Wan because Wen Wan can do whatever she wants. The days were very pleasant. Just like what she said, she can only have one husband in the future, no other women. Only Wen Wan dared to say such things. Even princesses usually prepare a few maidens for their consort.
"Wenwan's tone is loud and clear." Bai Shinian was very depressed. Because now everyone in the army is saying that their wise and mighty general is not good enough. If it was possible, why would he leave the delicate beauty at home? He would basically be in the military camp all year round and would not go back to the general's mansion. As for keeping filial piety, who wants to believe this excuse? I would rather live the life of a monk than to let go of the delicate beauty. For those whose eyes light up when they see a woman, bullshit.
Zhang Yi and Bao Baogang talked cryptically several times, but Bai Shinian pretended not to hear. Even Ye Xun made fun of it several times. However, after being punished several times by Bai Shinian, he did not dare to persuade him.
When no one was around, Bai Shinian read the letter sent by the housekeeper. Looking as gentle as todayThe child lived a nourishing life. However, after the New Year, Wen Wan will be eighteen, and it's time to get married.
Sometimes Bai Shinian feels that it would be better to get married gently. At least he didn't have to stick to that promise. Because it was not him who broke the promise first, it was a relief for him. However, more often than not, Bai Shinian feels uncomfortable whenever he thinks about this topic.
Sometimes he even has a momentary impulse to write a letter asking Wen Wan. But I felt stupid again. So what if it is, so what if it isn't.
Such rumors, with Xia Yao here, naturally reached Wen Wan's ears. Wen Wan leaned on the chair and looked at the rafters.
Xia Yao whispered: "Princess Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Wan lowered her voice: "Xia Yao, I don't want to know about him anymore. Why, you must tell me."
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan and said: "Princess Princess, I hope you will stop being stubborn. I'm afraid you will regret it if you miss it."
The gentle hand gently passed over the white jade cup. The luster of the white jade cup is very pure, a yearning purity: "Xia Yao, you always told me not to be stubborn. Don't you know that even if I agree, do you think the emperor's uncle will agree? My identity with Bai Shinian , Even if the emperor's uncle continues to favor me, do you think the emperor's uncle can rest assured? "A person with military power is the person the emperor is prepared to guard the border. One is a person with huge amounts of money and will control the economic lifeline of Daqi in the future. With these two people combined, no emperor can sleep well. Even if she saved the emperor with her own life, she didn't have the confidence that the emperor could rest assured. In the royal family, the first thing to talk about is power and interests. In the royal family, affection is the real luxury.
Xia Yao's pupils shrank. His lips moved for a long time, and finally he looked at Wen Wan and made up his mind: "It depends on whether the princess is willing or not. Back then, the late emperor Yan Qixuan would not agree. But the princess, if not, finally let the emperor agree. It just depends on whether the princess is willing."
Wen Wan sighed and said: "Yan Qixuan is different from Bai Shinian. Although Yan Qixuan has a respected status, he is a dude and has no ability. There is nothing to be afraid of. Bai Shinian is different. Bai Shinian is a general with great power. If The emperor's uncle knows about this. Do you think the emperor's uncle will agree to it? Even if he agrees, the hidden dangers are great. It was a great threat to the emperor, and the emperor was definitely unwilling. Privately speaking, the emperor did care for her as his own daughter. Because of this, he couldn't bear to let her marry and remain a widow.
Xia Yao pursed her lips and said after a while: "I believe that as long as you are willing, Princess, you can definitely find a way to make the emperor agree and feel at ease."
Wen Wan lowered her head, holding a white jade cup.
Xia Yao did not remain silent: "Princess. It is difficult for ten thousand people to choose a man like this. Princess, I hope you can think twice and don't regret it when you miss it. Princess, I really don't understand that you haven't even tried. Why must Bai Shinian be unreliable? Princess, a man can endure such ridicule. Princess, such a man is really hard to find. Princess, I'm really afraid that you missed it."
Wenwan put down the white jade cup. Standing in the yard, looking at the pomegranate tree in the yard, I was fascinated. Then, Wenwan returned to the study. Set aside the chess pieces and play slowly. Halfway down, I shook my head and started again. Then it went down again, and it started again. Wen Wan sighed slightly: "If you can't break the situation, you will only put yourself in a dangerous position. Everyone is gone, and everything you talk about is in vain."
Wenwan started again, but halfway down, he couldn¡¯t go down anymore. Looking at the chess game, he put back the white jade chess piece in his hand. He stood up, walked to the desk, raised his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote heavily on the paper: "Married couple, we will always be of the same heart, hold your son's hand, and grow old together with your son." Wen Wan looked at the white paper. He said softly: "Bai Shinian, I believe you have more worries than me. Because you want to revitalize the family. Bai Shinian, I will give you a chance. Whether you can succeed or break this situation depends on Do you have the perseverance?¡±
Xia Yao thought Wen Wan would be shaken and asked her to deliver some news. It's a pity that Wenwan didn't make any moves.
Xia Yao was a little discouraged. The princess of her family is just a stickler. (To be continued)
