He gently reminded: "Where there are many people, there are more fights and more dirty things. Your concubine's matter is the best proof. You can let them move out, which proves that you also know that something is wrong. You should do this well." Handle it and I won¡¯t interfere anymore.¡±
Bai Shinian nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of it." Wen Wan's meaning was obvious, she would not have any contact with these people. If there is no communication, there will be no communication. These people, apart from taking advantage and holding back, can't do anything serious.
After nodding gently, he ended the topic. Through this conversation, Wen Wan proved her suspicion that Bai Shinian really cared about Bai Shihua, which was understandable, as they were biological brothers after all. But I also discovered a good thing: apart from Bai Shihua, I didn't have any feelings for anyone else.
Wen Wan feels good that Bai Shinian can tell the difference so clearly. I'm afraid that there is a strong blood relationship, and then the left will help the right, and even those who can't help the wall will be helped. She is not that leisurely. Bai Shinian is like this, which is good.
Bai Shinian was also very happy with Wen Wan's attitude in handling the matter this time. It's not because Wen Wan helped Ming Ji, but because of Wen Wan's attitude towards him.
As soon as Qinghe returned, he told Bai Shihua about this. Bai Shinian didn't quite believe it. He wanted to ask Bai Shinian himself and make sure it was correct before telling his son. Save yourself the joy.
Qinghe shook his head and was speechless: "Sixth brother has been at the border all the time. How could he know about the affairs of the capital? Since the princess said it, it means she has it. Could she still use this to deceive me?"
Bai Shinian really didn't believe it: "Do you really believe that Wen Wan is so kind to us all of a sudden? We have no idea." Wen Wan is a person who can't afford to be early without benefit. Bai Shihua was a little confused when his own father suddenly treated them so well.
Qinghe was also surprised by this. Wenwan has always been very indifferent to people. In these years, only Shangtang has benefited from her. No one from the Taira family has achieved her glory (Shang Wei is in a special situation and does not fall into this category). In the end, Qinghe had no choice but to attribute the credit to Bai Shinian.
Bai Shihua is somewhat incapable of accepting this reason. Mainly because Wen Wan was unwilling to marry at first. Then a few days after getting married, he miraculously asked their family about their plans. If it were other women, they would probably just go along with it. Marry a dog and follow the dog. Wenwan, well, he is just out of his mind. I don¡¯t dare to have such an idea anymore.
Qinghe doesn¡¯t care why Wenwan helps her. Anyway, since Wen Wan said it, there is no problem: "Don't think so much. Anyway, this is a good thing. I told Ming Yan to go and let him start preparing. There are only four months left."
Mingzhi heard the news, his eyes flashing with fire, "Mom, are you telling the truth?" If you don't go to the border, you can find a future in the capital. Of course he was very willing. After all, the border environment was very poor, with no food, clothing or drink. The Manchus ate human flesh and drank human blood. It would be strange not to be afraid.
The eldest lady's face was full of joy. "Of course it is true. How can you tell lies about such a big matter? I have specifically asked your uncle. Based on past experience, the official position is probably the Kongmu of the Hanlin Academy who has never been admitted." , The Treasury Secretary will wait. But it is not ruled out that there are still good positions in it. As for what kind of errands you can be assigned to, it depends on how well you do in the exam. So you can stay at home during this time. Review. Try to get a good rank in the exam, and you will be able to get a good job when the time comes. "Although Ming Jie has not studied martial arts. But because Qinghe's joints are very strict. He is not a playboy who is ignorant and has no skills. He used to have banquets with masters to teach him. Over the years, Ming Ji wanted to gain a future through the imperial examination, but the books were not left behind. Moreover, the eldest lady also knows how to behave gently. Wenwan is very principled. If she does well in Mingjie's exam, she will go further in the future. If you don't do well in the exam tomorrow, you may not take care of it in the future. So, this is a very good opportunity.
Mingzhi looked at his mother who had a lot of white hair on her head and felt sour, "Mom, it will cost a lot of money, right? Where can you find such a large amount of money? Mom, don't go around asking for loans again."
The eldest lady saw that her son felt sorry for her, and she was naturally happy in her heart: "Since the princess is willing to come forward, with the princess's face, it won't cost much money. If you have a future, the Pang family will definitely be happy, and the date can be decided as soon as possible. Come down. Don't worry about these trivial matters. The first priority is to prepare for the exam."
Mingzhi looked at the old lady and sobbed, "Mom, these years have made you tired."
The eldest lady patted her son on the shoulder and said lovingly, "As long as you are filial and obedient, mother will be satisfied. As for the affairs at home, you don't have to worry about it. If the money is not enough, the princess has promised to withdraw it from the public account first, and there will be more in the future." Return the money and leave the general affairs of the farm to your father." Qinghe felt that although he lost his title, his life was now more comfortable than before.
Mingzhi¡¯s current thoughts are all on the selection and assessment in March. As for the Pang family, the eldest lady was thinkingThe incident was not spread outside. He also asked his husband and son to keep quiet. Likewise, he did not communicate with the Pang family. The eldest lady didn't say anything, but she was very angry in her heart.
Mrs. Pang saw that the eldest wife had never come to her home to talk about marriage since then. Now I was getting a little anxious. My daughter was born last year. I was supposed to get married this year. But because she felt a blockage in her heart, she couldn't bear it until now. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Now it¡¯s time for her to become anxious.
Mingjie began to memorize the exams, and the elder happily took over the general affairs in his son's hands, even if he was tired, he was willing to do so. The eldest man has slowly come around since the disaster (after Bai Shihua¡¯s family fell apart, he drank and ignored every day. Later, he got drunk and beat Qing He. Duke Ping was furious and beat Bai Shihua with a stick, and then taught him sincerely. I thought it was useless, but for some reason, I miraculously stopped drinking. Although I didn¡¯t have much potential, at least I didn¡¯t hold anyone back). Thinking about the absurdity of my youth, I felt guilty and became more and more jealous of the eldest lady. alright.
Qinghe felt relieved, but the third lady, Mrs. Xi, was still uneasy at this time. After discussing with my son for a long time, I couldn't come up with a solution. It¡¯s not easy to call my husband back. If the husband doesn't come back, he can still avoid knowing if something really happened. If you come back, you won't be left without three hundred taels of silver. Xi groaned in her heart. Princess Wen Wan was so powerful that she thought Wen Wan was too high-minded to look down on those few taels of silver. A few days after getting married, she returned to the princess's mansion. Unexpectedly, Wen Wan just asked someone to check the accounts just two days after they got married. If they find out, they will probably have to be kicked out.
"Princess, General, it's time to eat." Wen Wan looked at the dishes on the table with disgust. But I still moved my chopsticks. After eating a bowl of rice, I put it down, but the person opposite me was very satisfied with the meal.
In the past two days, Wen Wan's appetite in the General's Mansion has not been good. Because there is no small kitchen here, everyone eats from the big pot. If you want to break ground, you have to count the days as auspicious. Wen Wan is not willing to do so many things in just three days. So make do.
After Wen Wan finished her meal and digested her food, she went to bed. Bai Shinian also nestled in bed. Just looking at Wen Wan sleeping in his arms. Thinking about what Wen Wan said about her husband and children having a hot bed, it would be nice for him to have a hot bed with his wife and children in the future.
In the afternoon, the couple were talking in the house. Xia Ying came in and whispered something into Wen Wan's ear. Wen Wan looked unmoved, "You let him go the day after tomorrow, I will be at the princess' mansion the day after tomorrow." Xia Ying went out immediately after hearing this.
Bai Shinian guessed at a glance that it must be about her business, so he didn't ask. Although the two said little, they formed a tacit understanding. Wen Wan didn't ask what Bai Shinian was busy with outside. Bai Shinian didn't ask about Wen Wan's business matters. In fact, women in the back house usually don't get involved in the affairs of the male master outside the home. The male owner didn't even bother with the back house. It's just that the two of them are a little bit special.
Bai Shinian thought for a while and then said: "Daughter-in-law, you are so busy. If you can't take care of it in the mansion, let the housekeeper take care of it. Just like before."
She held Bai Shinian's hand with a gentle smile and said warmly: "How can that happen? Since I am the mistress of the house, I should shoulder the responsibility of being the mistress of the house. Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety and will not get tired." No. It's just a matter of the General's Mansion! If you choose a good person, she will just check in every month.
Seeing Wen Wan, Bai Shinian said calmly: "If you feel tired, leave it alone. Leave everything to the butler."
Wen Wan laughed when she saw Bai Shinian not mentioning her housekeeper. She knew that men generally did not care about household affairs. Unless they had nothing to do like the eldest man, they would leave it to the head of the house to take care of the household affairs. Wen Wan suddenly had the idea of ??teasing, "Bai Shinian, how about you come and help with the housekeeping?"
Bai Shinian opened his eyes wide and felt incredible. Letting him take care of the house doesn't mean letting Wenwan do embroidery. However, Bai Shinian saw Wen Wan looking at him earnestly and nodded, "Okay." His housekeeper was not just left to the chief butler. It's just a name.
Seeing that Bai Shinian really agreed, Wen Wan put her arms around Bai Shinian's neck and laughed, "I'm kidding you, you really agreed. You can't even read the account book, how can you manage the house? Don't even know that you are being sold." !¡±
After hearing this, Bai Shinian said seriously: "Daughter-in-law, Butler Feng is the person I trust most. So, don't say this again in the future. If Butler Feng hears it, he will be chilled."
Wen Wan nodded. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Bai Shinian, talking about this. I have something to follow your advice. I see that there is not even a serious master in the mansion. But it has to support more than a hundred people. These people are all doing What?"
Bai Shinian didn't know that Wen Wan had the idea of ??downsizing, and thought she was trying to understand the situation for the housekeeper. He said with a smile: "Most of these people followed me from birth to death. Later, when I had nowhere to go, I let them do things in my mansion."
Wen Wan frowned: "Back then, the government didn't arrange him properly.They? Is working in your mansion a good citizen? "
Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan doubtfully: "Yes! What's wrong?"
Wen Wan frowned slightly when she heard that it was a good citizen. Seeing Bai Shinian's expression, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, just asking." Seeing this situation, she asked about layoffs, but Bai Shinian would definitely object. This matter will be dealt with later.
