    When Wen Wan heard that she was her own mother, she felt a little different.  There are so many different kinds of people in the world. "Is there such a mother? Her nephew has a good reputation as a civil servant. Why would her sister let her son marry a girl who has withdrawn from marriage? If she is good, she will be a Jinshi in the future.  , I can't find a girl with good conditions. It can be seen that there must be something wrong. They say that the stepmother is vicious, and this stepmother is even more terrible than the stepmother when she is confused. "The stepmother is not a biological mother, and she is mentally prepared.  The bride should be so sad!

    Qinghe couldn't help but admire Wen Wan. She didn't know the cause and effect, but she could guess the reason at first glance: "Yes. She looks good on her nephew. How could he not know that he often goes to Huajie and alleys? Their family also  The family is in ruins and they live by the Pang family. If they seek marriage seriously, they will definitely not be able to marry their legitimate daughter. If they cancel the engagement, they will just take advantage of it!"

    Wen Wan heard something of the eldest lady¡¯s intention: ¡°Sister-in-law, do you want to cancel the engagement?¡± The eldest lady deliberately raised this topic in front of her, and she must have had this intention.  But this era is not like modern times. Some people just play house when getting divorced and don't care at all.  Once the marriage is canceled here, you will not be able to marry into a good family.  And with an aunt who is eyeing her fiercely, if she breaks off the engagement, she will really push this girl into a pit of fire.  Thinking again about how much this girl had risked her life in order not to break off the engagement.  With this thought in mind, a look of disapproval naturally appeared on his face.

    Qinghe¡¯s instinct of observing words and expressions is also first-rate.  As soon as he saw Wen Wan's expression, he knew he disagreed, and the little thought he had had disappeared instantly.  He quickly expressed his position, "No, although Mrs. Pang has given us a lot of embarrassment. But the eldest daughter of the Pang family would rather die than break off the engagement, and she knew it was a good thing. Although we have suffered a lot, we can't do this.  It's ungrateful. I told the master that the kiss cannot be withdrawn. But the master can't swallow it, and Mrs. Pang has such an attitude, so the marriage is probably still a bit complicated."

    Wen Wan nodded gently and expressed her appreciation for the eldest lady's intention: "It doesn't matter. When she goes to Taipu Temple tomorrow, Mrs. Pang won't be too difficult." This Mrs. Pang seems to be a powerful person.  People.  But it doesn't matter, as long as the girl is good and can keep the family together.

    Qinghe's eyes lit up: "The princess is saying that you want Mingjie to take up a post in Taipu Temple?" Qinghe had known about this from her natal family, Duke Pingguo's Mansion.  This time, there are two vacancies for seventh grade positions.  One is the writing style of the official department, and the other is the position of Taipu Temple.  After Mingzhi finished the exam, he felt that it would be good to get someone from the eighth level, but he didn't think about the two people who were from the seventh level.

    Nodding gently: "Well, Taipu Temple is a good place to train people. First, practice there for a few years and get better. If you can stand on your own, then let others go. After you have enough qualifications, you can transfer back to the capital. Such a big house  The family has been supported." In fact, after Bai Shinian knew what Wen Wan meant, he selfishly thought it would be better for Ming Jie to serve in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.  This way you have to start high.  After all, the official department is the most popular yamen, and everyone hopes to develop in a good place.

    Bai Shinian's proposal was rejected by Wen Wan.  Since Wen Wan wants to help, the Ministry of Personnel and Taipu Temple are the same to her.  It's just a gentle thought. If it's really good for the children, you should keep your sights set on the long-term.  The officials are good.  But just because it¡¯s good, I can¡¯t let it go.  The Ministry of Personnel is the place where officials are in charge of the world, and the officials there have a sense of superiority over ordinary people.  Moreover, 90% of the officials here came from the imperial examination.  If Mingzhi suddenly enters, if his xinxing is not good enough, he will easily be led astray.  Ming Jie has no extraordinary talent, and his ability can only be considered average. His career path in the future will be a steady one step at a time.  If you are placed in the official department, with that sense of superiority, it is easy to have high ambitions and low ambitions.  Let Mingji stay in Taipu Temple, which is relatively free, so that he can learn more and hone his character more easily.  If your mind is stable, you will not be impatient.  It is not easy to be seduced by the outside world, and you will only be able to go further in the future.  Only then can we truly support Dafang. With Dafang having the Mingzhi to support the portal, Bai Shinian will have less to worry about in the future.

    Qinghe was very grateful: "Thank you, Princess, for taking the trouble." Qinghe didn't expect that Wenwan would think so long-term for Mingjie, and even pave the way for the future.  If you follow Wen Wan's meaning.  She doesn't think too much about becoming a prime minister or anything like that.  But Mingjie has had enough experience in the capital before he can be released outside.  In fact, officials in the capital are basically unwilling to be sent abroad, not because they know that it is easier to get promoted if they are sent abroad.  However, there is a drawback to sending them abroad, that is, it is difficult to transfer them back to the capital.  There are only so many positions in the capital, one carrot and one hole. Once the hole is gone, you, the carrot, can just sit idle on the side!  But if you have Wenwan, you don¡¯t have to worry.  If you go abroad, you will basically be promoted every three years. In the future, there will definitely be a third- and fourth-grade official position.  In this way, she can wear the Imperial Lady's uniform even during her pregnancy.  Qinghe thought about it with red eyes.

    Wen Wan waved her hand: "I also hope that Shi Nian will come back and watch your family live happily. He is happy, and I am happy too."

    Xia Yao rolled her eyes at the princess, although she did so forTo please the general.  But there¡¯s no need to confess so directly!  Really.  It's like you're afraid that others won't know that you're thinking about the general.

    The eldest lady smiled.  Wen Wan can think about them for the sake of his sixth brother, and it is also his sixth brother who treats him well.  Well, I'll reciprocate the favor.

    Wen Wan no longer focused on this topic, "When are you planning to get married to Ming Zhi?"

    The eldest lady thought for a while and then said: "Now Mingjie is seventeen, and the eldest girl of the Pang family is also sixteen. We have discussed that Xiao Ding may be this month. The date should be in May." Since we want to get married, we might as well  Just settle it earlier.  After getting married, just stay far away.  Don't talk about it like this, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

    Wen Wan said apologetically: As an aunt, I am not in good health right now.  I feel sorry for having to trouble you to help me again.  "

    Xia Yao wanted to laugh, but held it back.  Speaking of which, Bai Mingzhi is already seventeen, and the princess is only twenty this year!  He spoke like an old man.  Xia Yao could only sigh slightly as she thought about her gentle childhood.  The princess has no childhood at all.  Also because she is young and mature, people often overlook her age (Wenwan said: In the two lifetimes combined, I am almost forty, which is more than half a circle older than Bai Shinian).

    Qinghe knew that these were just words, and said with a smile, "Now that your body is precious, how can you be tired of doing such trivial things. Princess, let me tell you, you don't know that our master heard that the princess may be pregnant,  When he didn't get confirmation, he went to the memorial tablet of his father-in-law and mother-in-law to burn some incense and pray for the princess to give birth to Lin'er smoothly. Then the sixth brother had some hope after paying homage to the elders.  I got your news. You have been urging me to come. Now that it is confirmed, I can sleep peacefully." The lady said nothing false.  Wen Wan is pregnant, except for the emperor.  There is also Bai Shinian who doesn't know. The happiest person is Bai Shihua.  If Wen Wan gives birth to a son, his ancestral title will definitely be returned, and the Bai family will prosper soon, so he can't help but be excited.

    Wen Wan was even more sleepy because she had just become pregnant, and it was spring sleepy season.  No.  After talking, I was exhausted and had a lot of trouble.

    The eldest lady took her leave with a wink.

    As soon as I got home, I saw Bai Shihua waiting at home.  Seeing his wife coming back, he rushed out and asked, "How is it? What did the princess say?"

    Bai Shihua was also very happy when he heard that he was ready to get an official position from the seventh rank.  Although Bai Shinian had revealed the news to him before.  He said that Wenwan would not treat Mingji badly.  But without hearing Wen Wan's words from her own mouth, she was always unsure.  This will make you feel at ease.  Then I heard that Wen Wan asked him to help manage the property in the general's mansion, and he could get 20% of the income every year.  Bai Shihua's eyes lit up after hearing this.  Although Bai Shinian privately gave him an extra five thousand taels of silver.  He used all the money to buy land.  This is the case, but it's just a little better than before.  Except for the twenty taels of silver a month for their second son, their family had basically no income.  We can¡¯t work for others as we did in the past.  Then you will lose your share as the sixth child.  Even if you are living on your laurels at home, there will always be nothing left.  And seeing that the eldest son is getting married, the following children have also reached the age of getting married.  In the future, dowry and betrothal gifts will be a huge expense.  From now on, there will be no need to worry about such a large income every year.

    The eldest lady comforted Bai Shihua, "The princess is the princess after all. She has piercing eyes and courage. Now that she has the flesh and blood of the sixth brother, the Bai family is about to prosper. Master, you don't have to talk about being ashamed of your ancestors anymore."

    Bai Shihua nodded in agreement, "My sixth brother has suffered so much, but he is a man of good fortune. Otherwise, he would not have married the princess. It would be like letting the princess change to a different person." He was very happy at first that his sixth brother married him.  Princess Wenwan.  Because he married the princess, the Bai family would have enough capital to make a comeback.  But what he didn't expect was that the princess could take care of the sixth brother for them.  This was something he never dared to think about.

    Qing He talked about Wen Wan's attitude towards Ming Zhi's marriage: "The princess said that as long as the girl is good, it will be fine. If the mistress is a loser now, she will have less contact with her in the future. You should be so angry.  Fallen. Set the wedding date early.¡±

    Wen Wan had already spoken, but Bai Shihua was still angry.  He could only obey: "Well, you can go discuss it tomorrow. It's better to finish it earlier. It will save you the endless delay. If you are married, you can have less contact with each other. I don't want to see the Pang family again.  "The current head of the Bai family is Wen Wan, not him.  Of course, Bai Shihua would never admit it to his death. Deep down in his heart, he was afraid of Wen Wan.  Thinking that Wen Wan was just a little kid back then, she threatened him with a golden whip, scaring him so much that he went back in despair.  Not to mention it now.

    Why would Qinghe want to see Mrs. Pang's hateful face?  But no matter if you don't want to see it, the wedding is going to be done after all.  Otherwise, the girl who really quits her marriage to the Pang family is so angry that she will die to prove her ambition.  With his gentle temperament, he must not be able to stand up to Mingzhi.  Mingzhi's future was completely gone.  She couldn't afford the gamble.

    ?After I became gentle, I walked in the garden.  Xia Yao said at this time: "Princess, according to my opinion, it is better to withdraw from this family. Madam Pang's wife was so excessive, the eldest master and the eldest lady were very angry. Even Mingzhi ate several  Even if you get married, this is not a good family. The girl will not have a good life. "

    Wen Wan touched Buddha's hand and sighed slightly: "If the Bai family was in ruins, they were determined to break off the engagement. At that time, the children were still young, so it was nothing. But they were vague, and they were worried that they would miss this good wife candidate and marry again.  There is no better one. It would be unkind to drag this girl away until now. If I withdraw from this marriage, I can really save some money by finding a good family in the future.  Strength. But after all, the Pang family girl is innocent. If she breaks off the engagement, I have also thought about what you said. This girl has such a strong temper and character.  It's not much different. As for whether she can win the favor of the eldest lady, the respect and love of her husband, at least I have given her a chance, and it depends on her own destiny.  ¡±

    Xia Yao shook her head and smiled: "Princess, after all, your heart is still so kind, even after so many years. It remains unchanged."

    Wen Wan straightened her waist.  Her waist seemed a little sore: "This is not good, this is my bottom line. If the eldest daughter of the Pang family is willing to cancel the engagement at the beginning, that's it. But in such a situation, canceling the engagement will obviously drive people to death. The Bai family  It's not kind to do this. After all, this world is unfair to women. But if something happens to a woman, her life will be ruined. "Wen Wan is not just talking about the Pang family.  Miss this matter.  It¡¯s a whole social phenomenon.  How many women ended up becoming victims because they were innocently implicated.  Wen Wan couldn't bear to see it, but there was nothing she could do about it.  This society has its own rules, and she does not have the courage to go against the entire society.  If she dares to break this rule, a group of people will definitely attack her.  When the time comes, not even the emperor can protect her.  She does not have such a great spirit to sacrifice herself to challenge the world by shouting for equality between men and women.  She can only help those she can to the best of her ability.

    Xia Yao glanced at Wen Wan and said that even after ten years, the princess could not change, and this would be the case for the rest of her life.  fair enough.  At least the princess kept her true intentions and lived openly.  .

    Qinghe sent a letter to Pang Pang and invited the middleman to visit him the next day.  Agree on a date.  Faced with Mrs. Pang's unhappy look, the middle man said in a joking tone that Mingzhi did well in the exam this time.  I have found a good job, and I will be a person who eats royal food from now on.

    Mrs. Pang's face turned purple.  She has always despised Mingzhi for his lack of fame and fame. Now Mingzhi, who has no fame and fame, has found a job in the Yamen. Although her nephew was an imperial examination, he failed the exam last time and could not even enter the Imperial College.  Bai family, this is a naked slap on her face.  But if someone is more powerful than you, what else can she do besides endure it?

    The man¡¯s wife came, and Qinghe vaguely mentioned a few words to her.  Seeing Mrs. Pang's expression.  Psychological snort.  Now the Bai family has married the princess into the family.  That¡¯s it for other branches of the Bai family.  The master of this big house is General Bai's biological eldest brother.  The princess has already expressed her intention to help the big house.  The Bai family's big house will be up soon.  So shallow-lidded.  If the Bai family hadn't insisted on this marriage contract, few people would have been unable to curry favor with the princess.  What a ruined marriage.  Some people are willing to have this kind of marriage.

    Mrs. Pang talked briefly with the middleman and went through the motions.  Just choose a day.  Xiao Ding's date was quickly decided.  It¡¯s set for March 26th.  The wedding day was set for May 16th.  The Bai family's intention was obvious, they wanted to get married as soon as possible.  After getting married, there aren't so many entanglements anymore.  Let it be as it should be!

    After Wenwan learned about Xiao Ding¡¯s life.  Let someone give you a gift.  The gift was sent by Xia Tian personally. "Madam, I am Xia Tian, ??the second manager of the princess's palace. These are sent by the princess. The princess said that they are for the eldest young master's wedding. This is the gift list. You  Click to see.¡±

    There are materials and jewelry in the single word, and most of them are used for lower-level employment.  The eldest lady looked at the pile of things outside and felt very happy.  This time, I won¡¯t lose face if I am dismissed.

    Bai Shihua agreed before Qing He and concluded the gift list. "Thank you very much, Princess, for your kindness." Since it was a good intention, accept it.

    Qinghe is really happy. With these things, the eldest son's betrothal gift has also gained face, but now it is not good enough.  It's also a good thing that comes in pairs.  Mingzhi's appointment as the chief registrar of the seventh grade of Taipu Temple was settled.  It was also spread.  Qinghe no longer worries about his son being ridiculed when he goes to Pang's house.

    After Mrs. Pang learned the news, she couldn't express her feelings.  Qinghe was also very disrespectful to her.  When the date is set, a middle-aged man is invited to go through the motions.  According to normal procedures, it must be discussed by the elders of both parties.  But now??Don¡¯t say that the eldest lady will not show up.  Even the middle man didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he kept praising Mingzhi for being a good person.

    There is no need to mention Mrs. Pang's aggrievedness (you have something in your heart, I sincerely think you have found a good uncle. Even if you don't take the imperial examination to become an official, being able to get into the top ten proves that you are talented. In addition,  If you have someone to support you, your future will definitely be good.)  Mrs. Pang complained very much about her eldest daughter. If she had broken off the engagement, why would she have to suffer such ridicule?

    But Panda is really happy.  No matter what, Mingzhi is his son-in-law.  His good reputation was preserved, and he was able to marry the princess.  Even if the son-in-law can't get close to the princess, his future prospects will be better, which is still a help.  Because of Pang Pang's attitude, Mrs. Pang didn't dare to make a move.  Although I am completely dissatisfied with my eldest daughter.  But the dowry is not missing a penny, there are good-looking men, solid jewelry, and practical and high-grade real estate. The shops are also located in good areas, and the money at the bottom of the box is not missing a penny.  It was so full that I couldn't even insert my hand into the sixty-four lift.  Speaking of which, although Pang Pang has never said harsh words, Mrs. Pang is the eldest lady's mother after all.  If I don't want to see you, I'm a bit left-tempered, and I won't really be so harsh on my daughter's dowry that my daughter will get married in a disgraceful way.

    The wedding day has been set, and there will definitely be no more trouble.  Miss Pang Pang, who had lost half a circle of weight due to sadness during this period, was finally able to smile.  Although she was worried that her mother would make such a fuss about the marriage, it would definitely not be smooth sailing for her.  But no matter how smooth it is, it's still better than marrying her eldest cousin.  Her aunt's style meant that her mother liked to be flattered.  He is definitely not a kind person inside.  But the future mother-in-law has a good reputation in the capital.  As long as she serves her parents-in-law attentively and respects her husband, life should not be too bad.

    Bai Shihua and Qinghe are now at ease.  The third, fourth, and eighth rooms (the fifth room did not dare to come to the door) heard the news, and their eyes were red with envy.  Many of their sons are unemployed at home!  Even though he had such a good thing, he didn't even say hello to them.  If they had known earlier, they would have let their son take the exam no matter what, and then, not to mention graduating from the seventh rank.  It¡¯s okay to get an eighth- and ninth-grade person, at least you¡¯ll get a salary from the court (you think the court¡¯s yamen belongs to your family).  Not to mention that they couldn't see Wen Wan, even the housekeeper couldn't see her.  Having no other choice, I came to see Bai Shihua and Qinghe.

    She cried and said that life was hard and her children were abandoned at home.  Among them, the eighth lady cried the most ferociously.  One of the third wife's two sons (those born by concubines are not included) has passed the imperial examination, and the younger one is already a scholar.  It's just that the third lady wants the third master to go further.  If I can get the princess's help, I will have a stable career in the future and it will be unstoppable.

    The fourth wife only gave birth to a son, and he had no talent for studying. He would not be able to pass the imperial examination.  So I want to find a way, arrange a position, maybe say marriage.

    The eighth lady is the most pitiful.  Three sons were born, none of whom were useful.  The eighth master is also lazy and has nothing to do.  None of the three sons are middle-aged, and the eldest son is fifteen. Although their family is not so exaggerated as to have only four walls, it is no different from the ordinary people's family in the capital.  Anyone with a slightly better family background will not be looked down upon.  She doesn't want to marry a civilian girl.

    Qinghe waited for the third lady and several ladies to finish their performances, and then said slowly that the princess asked Bai Shihua to take care of the general's property, and it was rare for him to see her.  As for taking 20%, I didn¡¯t say that.  When I was helping, Wen Wan was physically inconvenient and her younger brother was not around. As a full-blooded brother, this is what I should do.  If it were said outright, it would be a slap in the face.

    The third lady was stunned: "Princess, this is" With Wen Wan's ability, he can manage such a large industry, how can he not be able to manage a general's mansion.  How is this going.

    Qinghe sat in the upper position and looked at the third lady.  The two sisters-in-law have been fighting for half their lives, and it's time to bow to her.  It was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. He took a sip of tea and put it down: "The princess is pregnant with a child and lacks energy. So she asked the elder to help manage it. Moreover, the princess is busy with things and has no time for the Bai family.  Let the elder help take care of it." This means that Wen Wan will not interfere in the Bai family's affairs.  If anything happens to the Bai family, please contact Bai Shihua and her.

    The third lady¡¯s plan failed, and she felt a little disappointed.  The Fourth Madam and the Eighth Madam also had their thoughts in mind. If they wanted to get attached to the princess, they must first establish a good relationship with their sister-in-law.

    What Qinghe said was unintentional.  Of course, this is no secret.  Bai Shihua has begun to get in touch with things in the general's mansion.  I can't hide it even if I want to.  But when these words spread, they aroused endless reverie.  (To be continued)
