Seeing Miao's dazed look, Shang Qi quickly changed the subject and said, "That's what I just said, maybe she is a girl!".
"Okay, I'll listen to my husband. If it's a son, I'll give it to my uncle. However, we have to wait until the child is at least three years old. If I give birth to a daughter, I'll give it to my uncle." Mrs. Miao was a little reluctant, but she thought Thinking about how difficult it has been for my husband these past few years, I think of the things my mother-in-law did. Miao's heart softened. Just hug him, the side yard is now open anyway. Seen every day. Miao touched her belly, just hoping that this was a girl!
Shang Qi felt guilty and said, "Madam, thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Miao shook her head and leaned against her husband, feeling indescribably satisfied. Shang Qi was very kind to her, and he never paid attention to other women in the past few years. Even Xiao Lian was a maid she brought from her parents' home. She took the initiative to prescribe it when she was pregnant and couldn't take care of her. She only stopped taking the medicine in the past few years because she was honest. Although she had been a little unsatisfied in the past few years, she was willing to make concessions with such a good husband-in-law.
Shang Qi told Shang Lin to take a child and raise it for him. Maybe as soon as the child passes away, he will be tainted with joy, and when he is born as a filial piety, he may be able to have his own child. Then take the child back. With this said, Shang Lin and Xiao Xu were absolutely convinced.
"Mother, in less than a month, Wen Wan will come in. Mother, what should I do? Now the White House is managed by me and the Xi family. When Wen Wan comes in, she will definitely be in charge of the middle office. I I want to make some money during the wedding season so that I can save some money for Mingzhi to get married. Mingzhi will be nineteen during the Chinese New Year. If we don't get married next year, I won't be able to explain it to the Pang family." Qinghe looked hesitant. . Over the past three years, I have suffered enough, but fortunately my husband has made some progress than before. It¡¯s no longer just about eating, drinking and having fun, but also helping out occasionally. But her two children and her delayed marriage have always been a worry in her heart.
"I said you must not be confused. Wenwan is in charge of such a large amount of property, and no one dares to do anything under her eyes. Shang Wei said that Wenwan has not treated any of his associates badly in the past. But once it is found out, No one has any bad intentions. With your skills, you will be able to find out if there is anything wrong with Wen Wan in the future. And you said Bai Shinian will get married. The money was not enough, so I went to the bank and pledged 30,000 taels of silver. You embezzled the money and asked Wen Wan to pay it back as soon as she came in. Even if she had more money, she would not let it go. You are shameless." The eldest lady scolded.
Qinghe is not a greedy person, but she just has a hard time making a choice. "But, that's it. What will happen to me in the future? Mother, and several other people. They are all doing things secretly."
The eldest lady said earnestly, "Let me tell you, Wenwan, this child, will take into account blood and family ties after all. When she comes over, you should put her first in everything and stand by her side in everything. She will definitely not lose you. Yes. I have watched this child for so many years. Otherwise, if your fifth uncle was so excessive, she would not still care about you as her biological father and do so much for him. Don't be confused. If you are blinded by a few taels of money, the future of your children will depend on gentleness. You are getting a little advantage for the sake of immediate benefits, but when the time comes, you will be separated from her. Your future is uncertain. You have to think clearly. This matter is not a trivial one. Once Wen Wan trusts you, you will have a peaceful life. Do you want to suffer for a few more days or enjoy the blessings in the future? , it¡¯s your choice. Qinghe, you have never suffered since you were a child. Mom knows that you have suffered, but you must not get involved in this matter.¡±
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother." Qinghe thought for a while and felt that it would be safer to listen to her mother.
The Duke's wife then nodded: "The suffering is over, and your blessings are still there. In fact, although he has lost his title now, his son-in-law is no longer the same as before. He is willing to live a down-to-earth life with you, and his children are all It¡¯s great to hear your situation. At least you should be content. If you are not content, you will easily fall into the wrong situation.¡±
Qinghe had tears in her eyes: "Mom, I know. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Wen Wan counted the days and found that Xia Yao's half-month confinement was enough. Ask someone to call her out to see him.
Xia Yao finished thinking about it for half a month and came over to see Wen Wan. Wen Wan saw that she had lost a lot of weight. But she was in good spirits, especially her eyes, which were back to the ones she had when she saw Xia Yao before, calm and indifferent.
Seeing Xia Yao like this, Wen Wan felt very satisfied. He said calmly: "Have you thought clearly?"
Xia Yao looked a little annoyed. During this half month, she kept reflecting on herself. So she felt a little uncomfortable facing Wen Wan: "Yes, Princess. Although I am doing the best for the Princess, I have forgotten my duty. If this situation is allowed to continue, the consequences will beIt¡¯s unimaginable. "
Nodding gently: "Yes. In fact, this time I have made you think about it for half a month. I found that you have been a lot more impetuous recently and are not as calm as before. This is one of them. In addition, I don't want you to get involved in what happened between me and Bai Shinian." Come here. The emperor's uncle has issued an imperial edict to grant the marriage. "
If there is anyone in this world whom Wen Wan truly trusts, it is Xia Yao. It was also because Xia Yao had taught Bai Shinian in front of her for more than a year that she truly trusted Xia Yao. Because of this, it proved that Xia Yao really did it for her own good and did not consider the risks. Not only did it bring risks to her, but it also brought certain crises to the court. But Xia Yao didn't. I just hope she can be happy. Wenwan was very moved by this feeling. So she needs Xia Yao to keep a clear mind at all times. Cannot be affected by external objects.
Xia Yao faced the wall and thought about her mistakes, shielding herself from outside news. She still doesn't know about this. If it were the past, I would have been very happy to hear the news Wen Wan said. But now, she frowned and said: "In the past, I was just deceived. Bai Shinian is good, but marrying Bai Shinian will make the princess's situation even more dangerous. Moreover, it will be more difficult."
Wen Wan was very satisfied: "It seems that the past half month of thinking has not been in vain." Seeing Xia Yao's bad expression, Wen Wan said psychologically: "You are also a human being, and you are a woman. Women are the most soft-hearted. Animal. Although you have been very cruelly trained, you also have seven emotions and six desires. Plus, you would be greatly affected if you were around me (this is the key). If it weren't for me being the person involved, seeing such a deeply affectionate man. . I definitely want it to happen. Actually, I don¡¯t blame you for this. I just want you to calm down.¡±
Xia Yao smiled bitterly. The princess said so. But he has been able to keep his true feelings for so many years and not be confused by her words. It shows how determined the mind is. Fortunately, she has been trained. Compared with the princess, she felt inferior. She knew that Wenwan cherished her life the most. How dare you risk your life for fun? Naturally, be cautious.
Wen Wan saw Xia Yao's expression. Then he said: "Xia Yao, I heard from my uncle that you are a clan daughter, according to seniority. You are my cousin. Although you are my bodyguard on the surface, I treat you as a relative. You are the person I trust most. There are many places where I will rely on you in the future. Therefore, you must not be influenced by the outside world. When Bai Shinian goes to the border, I will support this family alone and ensure the future. To maintain a balance with the palace and take care of the children, I can't survive on my own, so I grit my teeth and let you think about it, hoping that you can regain your composure."
Xia Yao felt a little guilty: "Princess, don't worry. I will never make such a mistake again."
Nodding gently.
Xia Yao thought about it for a while, and after she calmed down, she said with some confusion: "Princess, since you know that marrying Bai Shinian will be full of dangers. Why do you still want to marry?" It's not that she didn't know before, she just wanted Wen Wan got happiness, so she deliberately ignored it.
Wen Wan shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Because I am a woman, and women are soft-hearted animals that focus on emotions. Facing such a good man, I am reluctant to give up even if the road ahead is full of dangers. Moreover, without Bai Shinian, my situation would be different It¡¯s not much better. It¡¯s always a crisis, but as long as you plan well, it won¡¯t necessarily be a crisis in the future.¡±
Xia Yao was silent and asked, "Has the princess found a way to solve this problem?"
Wen Wan nodded: "My uncle was worried that I wouldn't be able to get married because of my troubles in the past two years. So as soon as Bai Shinian's incident came out, and he also wanted to win over Bai Shinian, he agreed. However, because of my unwillingness, the emperor My uncle feels guilty about me again. The emperor promised me that I can mobilize all the resources to build the island and leave it to you to handle it openly. "
Xia Yao heard this: "The purpose of the princess's previous troubles was to create a false impression. To make the emperor think that the princess was unwilling to marry. The purpose was to make the emperor feel guilty and promise the princess to build the island." No wonder, no wonder she always feels weird . I made a choice, but I struggled with it. To the end, the emperor became more and more anxious. I can't wait for someone to pack up the princess and take her home. But the princess and the old god were there, not in a hurry or panic.
Wen Wan did not agree: "Bai Shinian did not disappoint me. If he can survive six years, I believe he can survive ten years as well."
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao: "Actually, what happened this time is not only to help you regain a calm mind. More importantly, I want Xia Ying to tell the emperor's uncle. If I don't marry Bai Shinian, I will never be able to do anything for the rest of my life." I can't get married. Xia Ying is loyal to the emperor's uncle and has been with me for more than ten years. In this case, her words are more trustworthy to the emperor's uncle than yours. "Speaking of this, A little gentleIt doesn't make sense. Why is Xia Ying so stubborn? She must report her every move to the emperor.
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao in front of her, and then thought about Xia Ying. A cold light flashed in the gentle eyes. At this moment, she finally realized a truth. The emperor's uncle did not love her as much as the emperor's grandfather did, nor did he trust her as much as the emperor's grandfather did. Just by comparing the people given to her by the emperor's grandfather and the people given to her by the emperor's uncle, she can find out. The person whom the emperor's uncle gives is loyal to the emperor's uncle himself. But the person given to her by the emperor's grandfather was loyal to her. The most obvious contrast is between Xia Yao and Xia Ying. They are all secret guards, and Xia Yao also has a bottom line, but as long as the bottom line is not exceeded, Xia Yao can help her do anything. But Xia Ying is different, her heart is not in herself at all. The fundamental reason for this result is that the original speaker had different meanings. Thinking of this, Wen Wan said helplessly: "Actually, who would want to make such a calculation! It's tiring to make calculations, but the most ruthless emperor's family. If you don't have a few more tricks, you won't die in the end. Got it." At first, I felt that I was being too cautious, but now it seems that my caution was not wrong. From now on, I have to be more careful and cautious.
????
Wen Wan smiled helplessly: "That little power is nothing. It's not enough to put teeth in people's teeth. But the emperor's uncle promised me that even if he is a hundred years later, he will protect my glory for the rest of my life. My uncle does not make promises easily, since he I have promised that I will keep my back in the future, and the Emperor will not do anything to me, but when I get married, I will not be alone."
Xia Yao suddenly became worried again: "Princess, build an island and hide there in times of crisis, but that is not a good strategy. The world is so big, it cannot be the king's land." The emperor really wants to kill you and escape to the sea. Definitely go.
Wen Wan smiled softly: "Building the island is indeed a last resort. With the credit I have built, even if the new emperor comes to power, as long as his brain is not feverish, he will not touch me. After all, I am also a member of the royal family. If I want You have to think carefully about killing me. I am not a helpless orphan ten years ago. However, I am worried about leaving trouble for my children. Now that I have the promise of the emperor, I don¡¯t have to worry about it. I will definitely live a long and healthy life. Yes. The five islands are not reserved for me, they are reserved for my children. "
Xia Yao was a little confused.
?????????????????????? With a gentle smile: "The emperor has already agreed. I will be responsible for building the navy in the future. If the generals of the navy are appointed by me, I will have control of the navy. What are you afraid of?"
??
Wen Wan smiled softly: "It will take at least a few years for the navy to be established. The cost of the navy will be very huge. Just a good big ship will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. When Bai Shinian defeats the Manchus in the future, he will I will hand over the military power. Only when the internal and external affairs of Daqi are harmonious will I be able to establish the navy. At that time, I will ask Bai Shinian to assist me in establishing the navy. As for the businesses under my name, the bank will return to the treasury in the future. The profits from the tea garden business are used to build the navy, so there is no need to worry about it. As for the more dangerous things, it is already roasting on the fire, so it doesn't matter if the child has the ability. Don¡¯t worry if you have this support. If you don¡¯t have the ability, you don¡¯t have to worry. Just let them live on the island.¡± (To be continued)
