The gentle days are over, and it¡¯s the Chinese New Year.
Bai Shinian coaxed Wen Wan to go to the General's Mansion to celebrate the New Year. Think about it, this is only the first year of marriage, what would it be like if you don't go to the general's mansion to celebrate the New Year. At that time, he will not be laughed to death. If nothing else, Ye Xun will definitely be the first. "In two days, it will be the Chinese New Year. What does it look like if you are the head of the house and the mother is not in the mansion? I will not be in charge of the capital from now on. No, but now that I am in the capital and it is our first year of marriage, you must go to my hinterland. "
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at the man next to her, but didn't say no, it was true that she was so impatient and red-faced. Wen Wan actually thinks that this year¡¯s Chinese New Year should be different from the past! When she was little, she had nothing to do during the Chinese New Year and only received red envelopes. When she got older, she moved out and lived alone. She just dealt with it casually, and she couldn't get interested. After that, I spent time with the emperor, which was lively but not warm. This year, I should be able to have a warm year.
"Bai Shinian, how about I come back and sleep that night?" Wen Wan debated, guessing that it wouldn't work. Sure enough, it was rejected by Bai Shinian.
"Then I'll stay for two nights. I'll be back on New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, and the second day of the Lunar New Year. I'm really not used to living in your place. I can't even sleep well." This was not a discussion, but a statement. Seeing Wen Wan's lack of discussion, Bai Shinian reluctantly nodded.
Although Wen Wan appears to have taken over the affairs of the general's mansion. In fact, it was a matter of course, because she didn't have much time to take care of the affairs in the general's mansion. In fact, all matters were left to the housekeeper, saying that she was not in good health and should not work hard.
After hearing the news, the Bai family almost spat, and started jumping around to stir up trouble as soon as they walked through the door. I stay in the princess's mansion every day without seeing anyone. She seems to be in such good spirits, but she says she is not in good health. But Bai Shinian said it himself. His wife is not in good health. Take good care of them. In the princess's mansion, Doctor Ye was also coming in and out. Who dares to talk nonsense.
Wen Wan also left all the New Year matters in the general's mansion to Butler Feng. Wenwan only attended on New Year's Eve, it was completely symbolic and there was no need to do anything else.
However, something happened at this time. The Bai family clan intends to give up the position of patriarch to Bai Shinian. Bai Shinian was a little surprised at first, but soon thought of her wife's behavior. Refuse politely at the moment. Over the past half month, the two of them have gotten to know each other better. He knew that Wen Wan would never agree. The so-called patriarch. Just in name. Wanting money is the real thing. For such a gentle and stingy person, it's strange that he is willing to pay for it.
The atmosphere of the New Year is similar to that of Heike, but it is not as lively as in Heike. Wenwan was so exhausted that she didn't return home until midnight.
The custom of the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner is for the whole family to get together. But their family only has two masters. He is gentle and doesn't like noisy people.
"Master, it's time to receive the ceremony." After hearing this, Wen Wan returned to her seat. Xia Ying immediately gave up the first chair and sat down in order of eldest and youngest.
The male servants and maidservants in the mansion bowed to each other as they went to and from the servants, and scattered the New Year's money and purses. Naked gold and silver. The men sit in the east and the women sit in the west, offering wine, happy soup and auspicious fruits. After a long commotion, everyone dispersed. In the evening, incense is burned in front of the stoves in various Buddhist temples to make offerings. Everyone in the general's mansion was dressed in colorful clothes. The whole night was noisy, people were laughing, and firecrackers were going off. It was so lively.
Wen Wan was so troubled that she couldn't sleep well all night and tossed and turned. Bai Shinian hugged her, but she felt uncomfortable. Push away. But she was cold without being held, and kept coming and going, so much so that Bai Shi couldn't even sleep well. I'm not being picky, but it's really hard to live here. Wen Wan wondered if it was time to decorate this place. Save yourself the trouble.
The next day at 2:00 a.m., Wen Wan entered the palace dressed in formal attire and dressed as a deacon to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor's uncle. The emperor is in the Yanghe Hall.
The queen has not recovered from her illness, so she has not come out to see guests. Matters in the palace now. They are all taken care of by the two imperial concubines.
"Uncle Emperor, Happy New Year. I wish you this day every year, and the same age every year. The more you live, the younger you will be. More and more vitality." He said a lot of gentle congratulations.
The emperor laughed and scolded, "What are you talking about?"
"Uncle Emperor, here is my red envelope." Wen Wan waited and waited. Still haven¡¯t waited for my red envelope. This is the important purpose of coming today.
"Ah, you are already married, you still need a red envelope? If you are married, you are no longer a child." The emperor exclaimed in surprise.
After hearing this, Wen Wan pursed her lips and muttered: "Stingy uncle emperor."
The emperor looked at Wen Wan and said, "Haha, I have prepared it for you! How dare you forget Wan'er's red envelope." Eunuch Sun immediately handed a thick red envelope to Wen Wan.
Wen Wan squeezed it, and then nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty much it. Uncle Emperor, you said you don't care whether I'm married or not., in front of you, I will always be a child. Wen Wan said there without blushing and without a beating heart.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan and still looked like the same school money-crazy person. He was very funny. "That's right. No matter what time it is, Wan'er is her uncle's caring little cotton-padded jacket. She hasn't been in the palace for half a month now, so what? I forgot about my uncle when I got married." Wen Wan looks good, and according to the information below, Bai Shinian treats Wen Wan well. The emperor was still very satisfied.
Wen Wan is very good at flattering. "He treats me very well. But it's a little worse than the emperor's uncle treats me. So he has to work harder and treat me twice as well."
Because the emperor was also busy that day, Wen Wan left the palace after seeing the emperor. After coming back, Bai Shinian took him to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. After he came back, he received the ceremony again, and he was very tired.
During the Chinese New Year, children are the happiest. Wen Wan was bleeding this time. There are so many children in the Bai family. More than 20 red envelopes were given out. In order to live up to her reputation as the God of Wealth, every red envelope is generous. This year, the children of the Bai family are all very happy.
Wenwan also distributes red envelopes to different people. The red envelopes for the three nephews were twice as thick as others. Mingguang and Minghuai accepted the red envelope calmly. Mingzhi was about to get married and even received the red envelope, his face turned red.
Wen Wan looked at Zhi Le and said, "If you're not married, you're still a child in my aunt's eyes. Take it!" So, Ming Zhi was sadly treated like a child again.
Even if other people are jealous, they are always unhappy. But so what. Qinghe's three children are not only Bai Shinian's nephews, but also Wenwan's nephews. It's natural to give it thicker.
During the Chinese New Year, we visit relatives in the first month. In the past, Wenwan never visited relatives during the Chinese New Year. Not only because of her valuable status, but the most important thing is that she has no relatives to leave. Except for the emperor, Prime Minister Su, and the teacher, no one else went there. Later, after being granted the title of Princess Xingguo, she even left these businesses. Of course, Song Luoyang will not go there in the first three days.
Married to Bai Shinian, Bai Shinian has many relatives in his family, including seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law. There were so many relatives that Wen Wan shook her head when she heard this. However, she was also glad that no matter how high her status was, she could not see anyone she didn't want to see. I thought I would go back after the second grade of junior high school and the third grade of junior high school.
Because of this, many relatives came to visit on the first day, but Wen Wan didn¡¯t want to see any of them. That night, Bai Shinian gave Wen Wan a vaccination and told her that her uncle and aunt would be coming the next day so that she could see it.
Wen Wan is very confused. Normally, the younger generation should be the one to present the gift to the elder. Even if her status was too high, Bai Shinian should have paid her a visit. How could this be reversed.
Bai Shinian¡¯s uncle¡¯s surname is Yang. His ancestors also followed Taizu in conquering the country, and they are also from a meritorious family. But because the title of Marquis only lasts for five generations, each subsequent generation will be downgraded by one level. The current Yang family is taking the imperial examination route. Bai Shinian's grandfather is still capable, but no one below him can see through it. The Yang family's children took the imperial examination route for twenty years. No one got Jinshi. Follow normal steps. After getting married, it is time for the husband to take his newlywed wife to visit various relatives. Wenwan's status is too high. Only others come to visit her. How can she take the initiative to visit others?
Bai Shinian means that his uncle and aunt want to meet Wen Wan. A flash of realization flashed in Wen Wan's eyes. It seemed that she had another purpose. Although she is said to be married to Bai Shinian. She will also take care of Bai Shinian's emotions. For example, I will help Bai Shihua's family in the future, but other than that. No other relatives can take advantage of her.
The next day we arrived early. Wen Wan sent Ren to invite Qing He over. She had nothing to say to this Mrs. Yang. I don¡¯t know each other, and I don¡¯t intend to have too many friendships. Qinghe is a harmonious person and often interacts with these people. He will become more proficient in dealing with them.
Bai Shinian led his uncle and aunt to the main hall, and Wen Wan got the letter and came out to entertain them. Although Wen Wan didn't want to see her, she still had to give Bai Shinian this face.
Bai Shinian introduced seven or eight people, "Princess, this is uncle, this is aunt, this is" A bunch of cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins, nieces.
Bai Shinian¡¯s uncle and aunt are also elderly, probably in their fifties. Also coming were a group of foreign men, their wives, and two little girls. Wen Wan looked at it and shrugged, wondering if this formation was a bit too big. He smiled slightly at the person who came in, but did not get up.
Bai Shinian invited his uncle and aunt to sit down and sit sideways. When Old Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang saw Wen Wan, they didn't regard them as their elders at all. The faint smiles on their faces were obviously their signature smiles. Seeing the two of them bending to salute, Wen Wan smiled and said, "No, don't be so overdressed."
After meeting everyone, the outside man cannot stay in the inner courtyard for too long. Bai Shinian led Mrs. Yang and the other men out. A bunch of relatives are left behind for Wen Wan to deal with.
Fortunately, just as a group of people were being benched, the eldest lady cleared her throat.??Coming over. As soon as the eldest lady came in, she apologized, "Auntie, why do you always come here? You are so old, and you still have to come here. The sixth brother is too ignorant."
Old Mrs. Yang's heart was stagnant, but her face was extremely kind. "It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. It was Rui Ge's daughter-in-law who came here. I am an old man and suddenly wanted to walk around. I also stopped by to see the princess and see the world. Year."
This time, Qinghe called all three boys from his family to come up. "You can see that I feel sorry for Shi Nian. If my husband knew, I would blame the old lady for being partial. Come on, Mingzhi, Mingguang, Minghuai, have you met?" Grandma and uncle, I have met several cousins ??and aunts. "The three boys came up and bowed to them. When a child interrupted, the scene became more lively.
Seeing Wen Wan's calm expression, the eldest lady knew what Wen Wan's attitude was, "Princess, this is the eldest cousin's wife, this is the second cousin's wife, this is the eldest cousin's eldest daughter-in-law. These two. These are the two daughters of my eldest cousin, Lingxue and Linglong. "Just now, Bai Shinian only introduced the Yang family and his wife, as well as several adult men. He couldn't figure out who the others were.
Wenwan looked at the girl and she looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old. After listening to the eldest lady's introduction, Xia Ying glanced at the maid standing next to her. The maid immediately brought a plate from the inside. Wen Wan took the jade bracelets from the plate, one for each person. The water-colored jade seeds are all the same, so this is considered a meeting gift.
The two girls said shyly, "Thank you, cousin."
With a gentle smile, the two of them retreated. Xia Yao's face darkened. Cousin-in-law, before the princess opened her mouth to give her grace, she even disrespected her by calling her her. So brave. But because Wen Wan didn't give any hint, Xia Yao looked ugly but didn't say anything.
The old lady wiped her tears sentimentally and said, "Well, I finally saw Brother Nian marrying his wife. I can go see his mother even if I close my eyes. Now, I finally don't have to worry about Brother Nian anymore." "The eldest lady advised on one side, and two cousins-in-law comforted her on the other side.
The smile on Wen Wan's face froze when she heard Mrs. Yang's words. What the hell, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she came to our door to cry for her dead mother-in-law. Does this mean that he is not virtuous, or that he does not treat his aunt with etiquette? Deliberately trying to bring bad luck to her.
Mrs. Yang is actually mainly because she is used to being the boss at home, so she didn¡¯t take precautions and used her usual tricks. But I saw that Wen Wan's face was hard to look at. Under the comfort of his daughter-in-law, he took advantage of the situation to hold back his tears.
Qinghe also smoothed things over on the side.
The old lady talked for a long time, and she didn't even say anything gentle. And he has a strong desire to go back. It was difficult for me to speak, so I could only hint to the daughter-in-law beside me to say, "Princess Princess. I heard that a few days ago, my sixth cousin asked his brothers to move out of the general's mansion just two days after they got married. Is this a rumor?"
After hearing this, Wen Wan had disgust in her eyes. And this kind of disgust is displayed on the face, not hidden in the heart. Just a member of my uncle's family. He has no business in her mansion. He came to test her, and he was impatient and unwilling to weigh his own weight.
Wen Wan said coldly, "The wedding expenses were not enough, so the general went to Guangyuan Bank and borrowed 30,000 taels. It was better for them to take advantage of the general's wedding to enrich their own pockets. The wedding cost more than 60,000 taels, and they were greedy 2 Wan Liang. It's a strange story if it spreads. The general is the one who got it all with his own blood and sweat. But the general doesn't care about brotherhood. The money fell out, and the reputation was bad. Brothers, I didn't want to get back the 20,000 taels of silver, but I didn't know that you came here specifically to mention this to me today. You told the general. Things in the mansion are really taken care of. Not to mention that they are not together but they are just here to help. Even if they are not separated, they would not dare to be so bold and do this for a long time. If you go down, you won't be allowed to drink blood and eat meat. Maybe after drinking blood and eating meat, you will feel that flesh and blood are not delicious." Bai Shihua will never complain, that is, other people. Wen Wan didn't think that someone like Mrs. Yang would stand up for a few bastards. It must be asking for directions. There are more words waiting for her. He simply choked her.
Mrs. Qinghe quickly lowered her head to prevent others from seeing the slight smile on her face. Mrs. Yang, relying on her age and seniority, had often sent Bai Shihua to benefit the Yang family. Bai Shihua also considered him his uncle. Always helping. Forget it, he didn't even say a kind word to her. He acted like an elder to her, which made her suffer several times. I thought the princess was just kneaded dough and wanted to test the depth of the water. It doesn¡¯t matter what Wen Wan¡¯s status is. Even the prince doesn't pay attention to Wen Wan. If he didn't give face to the sixth brother, he wouldn't even be able to see Wen Wan.
Mrs. Yang looked at Wen Wan with an unpretentious expression, but there was hidden anger on her face. Just when he was about to speak, he said that he didn't mean it. I don¡¯t know if the daughter-in-law around her misunderstood her, or if she was in a hurry.He showed his performance and said sincerely, "Who in the capital doesn't know that the princess manages the family well. Brothers and sisters, even if it is the sixth cousin's own wish, you"
As Huamei spoke, she was grabbed by the person next to her. Mrs. Yang looked at Wen Wan's completely darkened face and secretly said something bad. He hurriedly stood up and said with sincerity: "Princess, this is my new daughter-in-law, she is not sensible. Please forgive me, Princess."
Wen Wan¡¯s face turned dark after hearing this. She came to the general's house for no reason, just to teach her how to be a daughter-in-law. It's really shameless. "This is the general's decision. I can't say much. Of course, Mrs. Yang is so good to the general, I will convey this to the general later and ask him to listen to the teachings of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang and see what the general himself has to say. I have something else to do, so I won¡¯t accompany you, sister-in-law. You." Wen Wan didn't even want to call her aunt, so she just called her by her name. It has already shown that he does not want to get close.
The beloved wife¡¯s face turned pale just now. Seeing everyone¡¯s eyes looking at her, she felt angry and felt aggrieved. Obviously everyone had agreed before that she would introduce the topic first. Why is it all my fault now?
Mrs. Yang originally wanted to say a few soft words, but when Wen Wan didn't even look at them, she stood up and went out. His face also turned white and black. She had been enjoying herself for so many years, but she never expected that she would lose so much face in her old age. If today's incident spreads, she will lose all dignity.
Wenwan is really grateful for this status. Even if it spreads, Mrs. Yang's face will be lost. Because Wenwan is the king, you can do whatever you want. No one dares to say that Wen Wan is rude. You know, for anyone who marries a princess, the father-in-law and mother-in-law must first pay their respects to the princess. Wen Wan didn't let them kneel down to give them face.
After Wen Wan left, the scene fell into silence for a while.
The eldest lady hurriedly smoothed things over, "Auntie, the princess should have left because she had something to do. You also know that the princess is very busy. Don't mind it, auntie. Auntie, I remember that you always loved drinking Laojun's eyebrows. Today, I am Laojun." The eyebrows are soaked well. The taste is very authentic. Try it. ¡±
The group of people also said a few words, but in the end they were deceiving themselves. Mrs. Yang sent someone to tell the people in the front yard, and they went back home.
I only sent it to the housekeeper, Wen Wan did not come out to see it off. (To be continued)
