Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wen Wan is lying on the rocking chair, listening to the pleasant music of the piano, looking at the picturesque scenery, and surrounded by mouth-watering food. It is really a great enjoyment in life.

    Xia Yu came over and said, "Princess, the sixth princess has posted. I want to come and meet the princess." The sixth princess is Yutong.

    Wen Wan took the crane head melon that she had just cut and ate a piece.  Recently, Wenwan has been eating a lot of fruits.  Who says her child is miserable? This child is so smart!  This time is not the season for abundant fruits.

    Seeing Wen Wan, Xia Yu said nothing and glanced at Xia Yao.  Xia Yao also couldn't understand Wen Wan's meaning. "Go down and say that the princess has no time."

    Only then did Wen Wan speak: "Just say that I don't want to see anyone now." When Xia Yu walked away and only two people were left, a bright light flashed in her eyes: "What happened last time has not been found out. What is behind the scenes?"  Who is the person?¡±

    Xia Yao shook her head regretfully: "We haven't found out. They are all suspected, but we can't find out who it is." The problem is not killing people, but spreading rumors.  Such things are like the wind blowing out. It is difficult to find out where the wind blows from.  And with so many people crowding behind to blow, it¡¯s even more difficult.

    Wen Wan also knew: "Forget it, let's not check it. It's a fox, and its tail must be exposed." After Wen Wan said that, she went to the study room, thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote some family letters to Bai Shinian.  Wen Wan didn't complain, she just asked him to be careful and put safety first.

    The news of Wen Wan¡¯s pregnancy was known to Qi Liniang within a few days of her return.  She was holding her adopted son and talking.  When I heard the news, I pinched the child's hands until they bled.

    The child was crying in pain.

    "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?" Qi's personal maid Cha Xiang was shocked when she saw that Qi's lips were bleeding from her bite, and her eyes were full of resentment.

    The day after the gentle letter was sent, I received a letter from Bai Shinian¡¯s family.  Bai Shinian complained in the letter that Wen Wan was too stingy, with only a few words.  He finished it in one glance.  Wen Wan smiled, but after smiling.  My heart felt sour again.  It would be great if Bai Shinian was around.

    Wenwan looked at the letter with sour eyes.  She really missed Bai Shinian. If he was here, let alone help.  Just let her lean on you.  My heart is also at ease.  Wen Wan regretted for a moment that she should have blocked Bai Shinian's way and prevented him from going.  But this thought was fleeting.  For a man who is ambitious and wants to make great achievements, if you don't let him go, it is equivalent to breaking the wings of the eagle.  If you don't let him fly, you will have to hate yourself for the rest of your life.  Wen Wan touched her belly and said to the child (now she was no longer talking to herself): "It's lucky to have you. Otherwise, I don't know how these days would have passed." Her current situation is to say that she is surrounded by enemies on all sides.  .  I just hope that the emperor's uncle can live a long life.  Give her enough time to prepare.  Otherwise, I really have to flee overseas with my children.

    Coincidentally, when Wen Wan received the letter.  The letter sent before just arrived in Bai Shinian's hands.  Bai Shinian opened the envelope happily.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????is and is a Wen Wan autographed letter.  She wrote that she was three months pregnant and the baby was very upset.  I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well.  Half of her life was lost after torturing her.

    " Bai Shinian felt distressed for a while, and he also understood why Wen Wan only wrote a few sentences last time.  However, this letter was gentle and did not say much.  The focus is on the latter part, which talks about the current situation of the General's Mansion.  He also said that he owed Guangyuan Bank money and had not paid it back, and it was time to pay it back now.  We can't let her have a big belly to pay back the money!  That would ruin General Bai's entire reputation.  But Wenwan was written in a teasing tone.

    Bai Shinian couldn¡¯t laugh or cry after reading it. His daughter-in-law wrote all the way home to collect debts, and all the property in the capital was in her hands.  Those industries are not worth the money.  Then he thought about it and asked the steward at the General's Mansion at the border to be called.

    "Give me the booklet that stores the items in the warehouse." Bai Shinian joined the army at the age of 16 and has won hundreds of battles, large and small.  Especially when the Japanese pirate leader's lair was raided, there was a lot of loot inside, and the best part was handed over to the court.  Some of them are given by officers and soldiers.  These are unspoken rules. Even if the court knew about them, they would turn a blind eye and not pursue them.  After all, it was something you had to pay for with your life.  Just in Jiangnan, I didn't save any money in the first few years, so I spent it all on military expenses.  But later the imperial court was loose, and he also saved a lot of furniture.  Transferred back to the capital.  Some good things are reluctant to be exchanged and hidden away.  Others were exchanged for banknotes.

    Bai Shinian looked at the things he had packed away, and he didn't expect that he had also saved a lot of money.  But when he thought about the money his wife earned every year, he stopped thinking about it.  The money he had saved for so many years was not even a fraction: "I don't know why Wen Wan deliberately wrote a letter to ask for money?" Wen Wan would have no money to spend, and if he told it, he would probably be beaten to death.  Wenwan has no money?? Then should we let others live?

    Bai Shinian went to great lengths to investigate the family's status, so naturally he couldn't escape the eyes of others.  Mrs. Qi got the news in the backyard and was so angry that she smashed half of the decorations in the house.  Bai Shinian, this ungrateful thing, if it hadn't been for him back then, he would have gone to report to the underworld of the Yin Dynasty. How could he be here today?  Now, he actually abandoned himself, just for that woman.  Qi Liniang's hatred towards Bai Shinian reached an unparalleled level.

    Unable to suppress the anger in her heart, Qi Liniang finally left the general's residence for the reason of offering incense (to relax her mind).  The people in the general's mansion ignored him and asked her to get out.

    When Ye Xun saw Bai Shinian again, he asked with a smile: "Why did you clean up your belongings so well? It's not like the teacher is returning to the court." Normally, cleaning up can't be done so cleanly.  I basically emptied out the little money I had saved.  This also means that everyone knows that Bai Shinian married a wife who is the god of wealth. The little wealth Bai Shinian has accumulated is not enough compared to Wen Wan.  Otherwise, this little bit of property would still have to be stolen (it doesn't have much momentum, just a few hundred thousand taels of silver. Speaking of which, Bai Shinian is very honest).

    Bai Shinian said bitterly: "When I got married, I didn't owe any debt to Guangyuan Bank. I still have twenty thousand taels of silver that I haven't repaid. No, I've written a letter to collect the debt. So, pack these and send them back to the capital to pay back my wife."  debt."

    Unsurprisingly, Ye Xun burst out: "Isn't that true? Not to mention the princess, your mansion has so much property, it's not worth twenty thousand taels of silver. Why is the princess so fussy?" Ye Xun didn't mean to say that.  Wenwan's industry belongs to Bai Shinian.  Repaying debts or not is different between husband and wife.

    Bai Shinian shook his head: "Who knows. My wife is a weirdo. Don't you know that I once asked her if she could earn so much money and save a lot of money for my son in the future. What do you think she said? She said she made a lot of money.  She will not leave any money to her children and grandchildren, she will have to spend it all. How can she spend all the money she earns and leave nothing to her children and grandchildren? "Traditional people only think about it.  Earn wealth for your children and grandchildren.  The gentle concept made him confused.

    Ye Xun was surprised: "The princess really said that?" This is incredible.

    Bai Shinian shook his head: "Yeah, you said I won't stop her from doing good deeds. But she won't leave nothing to her children and grandchildren. But my wife always does what she says. In the future, my son will never miss her.  "So, they have to rely on me to save their family." If the wife can't be relied on, she can only rely on his father.  But the wealth I have accumulated is really not enough!  Buying a big house in the capital costs tens of thousands of taels of silver.  Well, his son will have to live in poverty from now on.

    Ye Xun saw a man who didn't know how to be blessed despite being blessed, and he spat at him: "I've never seen a person like you, who gets an advantage but still acts like a good boy. If the princess really said this, it's your blessing." Don't give it to your children and grandchildren.  Keep industry.  What should I do if my children and grandchildren don¡¯t have anything from their ancestors?  Just watch.

    Bai Shinian is a traditional man, and a traditional man naturally has traditional ideas: "It's like being in a blessing and not knowing how to be blessed. I don't think about gentle things. Whatever she does, I will follow her wishes. I just work hard."  It is the father's responsibility to leave the family wealth to his children and grandchildren.  He found Wen Wan's idea unbelievable.  I didn¡¯t even think about stopping it (you couldn¡¯t stop it).

    Ye Xun shook his head: "You! Think about it, if you don't leave the family wealth to your son, what will happen to your son?"

    Bai Shinian blinked.

    Ye Xun smiled and praised: "It is said that the mountains are empty. But there are no mountains. How can we sit and wait to starve to death? If we don't leave gold and silver mountains to our children and grandchildren, they will naturally think about making gold and silver mountains for themselves. Instead of keeping gold and silver mountains,  "It's better to leave your son with the ability to make money. If you say you don't know how to be lucky, you really don't know how to be lucky. Your son doesn't have to worry about becoming a playboy."

    Bai Shinian was naturally happy after receiving this explanation.  Leaving gold and silver for your son, of course, is not as good as the gold and silver earned by your son. "I was never worried about my son becoming a dandy. My wife follows the rules in everything she does and behaves strictly. How can I raise a dandy? I hope my wife can  Let my son work hard and inherit my mantle in the future.¡±

    Ye Xun couldn't stand it: "You're just beautiful! The princess didn't say how she spent the gold and silver she earned?" He was still very interested in this.

    Bai Shinian shook his head. He didn't ask about this: "I don't know. But you won't believe it even if you tell me. My wife is so thrifty. Well, I can't even tell you. Every meal has one meat, one vegetable and one soup (all are exquisite dishes)  ), I have never bought any jewelry (the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives them to me every year), and I only wear the same clothes (home clothes, Wenwan has a certain amount every season), if I hadn¡¯t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn¡¯t have believed it.  My daughter-in-law is so frugal." It's him. Materials are relatively scarce here, and the number of dishes on the table is more than that of Wen Wan (Wen Wan's saying: You eat more).

    This was the first time Ye Xun heard: "Are you not kidding?"

    Bai Shinian has admiration in his eyes: "The maid next to my wife said that since Wen Wan returned to the capital, except for guests, she has been the same for more than ten years." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't believe it.

    Ye Xun looked at Bai Shinian, and finally sighed: "Having the princess is really a blessing for Daqi. General, you are so lucky!" Think about how much money the people helped by the gentle princess spend every year.  But I am so frugal, which is really shameful!

    Wenwan must know that she will definitely complain. This is also called frugality.  Taking precious supplements every day, using rare medicinal materials, wearing clothes made of top-quality fabrics, and wearing expensive jewelry, on average, he spends at least a hundred gold per day.  This is called frugality, but there are no frugal people in the world.  (To be continued)
