    Wen Wan was accompanying her child in the house when she heard Xia Ying coming over and saying with a smile: "Princess, the Emperor asked you to accompany me to see the peach blossom forest." After that, he added: "Princess, it's raining outside." Yesterday  Xia Ying was accompanying the whole process and knew what Wen Wan said to the emperor.

    Wen Wan left the house.  When I looked outside, I saw rain falling from the sky.  The light rain was soft and soft, blowing on the face, which made it slightly cool.  It fell on my hand, feeling moist.

    Wen Wan saw the emperor and Prince Hao holding Qingbu umbrellas from a distance without any other rain gear.  Looking at the sky, it won't rain heavily that day.  Anyway, the emperor and Prince Hao are in good health, so they won't catch cold even in this light rain.

    Prince Hao saw Wen Wan and smiled and said: "Wen Wan, you said the peach blossom forest in the rain is the most beautiful. Go and see it now." If you can't see it now, you have to wait until next year.

    Wen Wan accompanied the emperor and Prince Hao up the mountain.

    When we arrived at the peach blossom forest, we saw a mountain of peach blossoms filled with drizzle, and a layer of moist red mist enveloping the misty rain in March.  This cloud of red mist is like the rouge that has just been applied to the spring girl's face, slowly soaking in.  Add a different kind of style.

    Prince Hao looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and nodded: "Well, it is indeed a rare beauty. It would be great if I could draw it." It's a pity that Prince Hao is not good at painting.

    The emperor looked at Wen Wan and said, "Wen Wan, how about you take a look at the beautiful scenery?"

    Wen Wan complained in her heart. She really thought she was an all-rounder who could do nothing: "Although I can paint, I am only good at painting figures. I am not good at landscapes. Uncle Emperor, if you also want to paint this beautiful scenery  To finish the painting, I'd better let my teacher do it. I can't believe he can paint such a beautiful scene." Even if she could paint such a scene, she wouldn't be able to depict the essence of it.  Because she was not immersed or entered.  Just like the night scene in the bamboo forest she painted back then, she was completely immersed in it. That time she was a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse.  If I ask her to paint now, she will definitely not be able to capture that charm.

    Many painters have skills, but they cannot become great painters. This is the reason.  certainly.  Wen Wan doesn't know why Yan Qixuan can become a painter.  Moreover, he was sent to Luoyang saying that he had the potential to become a great painter.

    The emperor smiled softly.  Nothing more was said.

    When Wen Wan came down the mountain, she heard people below saying that Prince Luo and Mrs. Luo had gone back.  It is said that the Duke of the country is critically ill.  After the two got the news, they hurriedly left the villa and rushed back to the capital.

    Wen Wan knew that the Duke of Guo was critically ill several times.  Mei'er and his wife were able to come this time because the Duke's condition had improved a lot.  The imperial doctor said that if you calm down and take care of yourself, it can be extended for a while.  After the two of them confirmed that nothing happened, they came to Zhuangzi.

    Wen Wan murmured that she had just been away for a few days and became critically ill again.  Could it be that Luo Shouxun's concubine brothers did something?  I've offended the Duke.  Otherwise, you will be in critical condition.  Wen Wan is also planning to let Meier stay longer!

    The emperor returned to Beijing with his imperial chariot on the second day.  The emperor wanted Wen Wan to follow him back to the capital.  Wen Wan did not agree and said she would stay for another month before returning to the capital.  She had to be busy as soon as she returned to the capital, although the later she returned, the busier she would be.  But she'd rather relax now.  Back to busy.

    The emperor never forced himself to be gentle, so even if he didn't want to, he would let her do it.  However, Wen Wan told the emperor about the Jianxing Palace: "Uncle Emperor, if you come here to escape the winter every year, you will definitely bring many people here like this year. Uncle Emperor, I want to be there by then."  A separate courtyard has been built here. It is convenient for traveling. "The emperor built a palace here, and he was naturally happy to come here to relax and be gentle.  But there are also a lot of questions that follow.  That means many nobles will definitely build villas here.

    In the past they thought about it, but no one dared to say it.  Now that the emperor wants to build a palace, Wen Wan can't stop him.  Many people have already revealed their opinions in front of her.  Nothing else to say.  Prince Hao also revealed this thought.  As it is now, Wen Wan must give in.  He just said gently that he hadn't made any plans yet and asked them to wait for a while.

    The emperor nodded: "What are you going to do?" This area was originally Wenwan's private property, so he wouldn't say anything about it. Others who want to build a separate courtyard here must obtain Wenwan's consent.

    Wen Wan is very depressed. This place will not be as clean as before.  Forget it, there are gains and losses: "After I finish planning this place, I plan to sell all the surrounding land and build a courtyard for them. All the money from the sale will go to the charity hall. Uncle Emperor, what do you think?"  "Wen Wan plans to divide the area around the palace into pieces and then sell them all.  Wenwan won¡¯t command a sky-high price, but it¡¯s certainly not cheap.  If all were sold, there would be thousands of acres of land here, excluding what the emperor and herself left behind.  It would definitely fetch a lot of money elsewhere.  Wen Wan doesn't want this money either. Getting this money will probably make a lot of people jealous and even dissatisfied.  It may even offend the clan (most of the clan members will want to live in other houses when the time comes).  willThe money will go directly to the Charity Hall. I believe everyone will have nothing to say.  After all, the money that went into Wen Wan's pocket was used to do good deeds.

    The emperor nodded: "Okay." The charity hall spends a lot of money every year.  Wenwan doesn¡¯t solicit donations either.  She was responsible for it all alone.  It¡¯s not bad to have such a large sum of money.

    Because the specific plan for the palace has not been released yet.  Wen Wan couldn't say which piece of land he would give to Prince Hao.  However, he also promised Prince Hao that he would wait until the design drawings of the palace are released.  She planned to give the best location to Prince Hao.

    When Wen Wan returned to her yard, she saw Xu Jingqiu with her back straight.  Wen Wan has been pregnant with a child herself, and one look at her posture showed that she was pregnant.

    After Wen Wan returned, she asked Xia Ying, and sure enough, Xu Jingqiu was pregnant.  And not only Xu Jingqiu, but Jiang Wei is also pregnant.  Wen Wan couldn't help but complain in her heart. The emperor's ability to sow seeds was not ordinary.  Of the three women brought here, two were pregnant.

    Wenwan also caused gossip about this: "Why is Zhen Jieyu not pregnant when she is so favored?" This is the weird thing.  Of the three women, Zhen Jieyu is the most favored.  Moreover, she has been favored for more than three years and has never fallen out of favor, but it is surprising that she has not become pregnant in all these years.  Not surprising anymore.

    Xia Ying glanced at Wen Wan, thought for a moment and said: "Zhen Jieyu was pregnant once. At that time, Zhen Jieyu didn't even know she was pregnant. She was tricked into having a miscarriage It seems that she was injured during the miscarriage.  "It's hard to get pregnant." Xia Ying was reluctant to talk about the harem to Wen Wan.  Every time he talks about it, Wen Wan always has a mocking look on his face.

    After a moment of gentleness, he didn't look as unhappy as before when talking about the harem: "I remember that children in the palace were born very frequently in the past. Why have there been so few children in the past two years? Moreover, so many died. Survive  Very few. Is it the methods of the concubines or the princes involved? "According to Wen Wan's understanding, there should be all of them.

    Xia Ying has all the answers.

    Wen Wan was silent.  But Wen Wan also knew in her heart that the emperor already had many sons and many grandsons.  So now I don't care about the heirs as much as before.  Also because of this attitude.  Therefore, the harem is more full of swords and shadows than before, and there are countless innocent souls.

    Xia Ying saw the gentle expression and said with a smile: "Princess, you don't always say that you should pay as much as you enjoy. These people enjoy the glory and wealth, and they also want to climb to higher places. In contrast, they should also pay the price.  of."

    Wen Wan remained silent.

    Jiang Lin got the news that Jiang Wei was pregnant.  My heart is very happy.  A lot of medicinal materials were sent, but the maid next to Jiang Lin was very clear-headed: "Prince Concubine, the empress can accompany you this time. I don't know who helped the empress." If no one helps, it will be right.  Can't follow the driving.

    Jiang Lin suddenly came back from her joy.  It seems that I need to find an opportunity to talk to my sister about this matter.  If you are attached to someone, you will have more insight.  Save yourself from being used as cannon fodder.

    After returning to the capital, Jiang Lin knew who Jiang Wei was attached to.  Jiang Wei attached herself to Concubine Wen.  Because Concubine Wen is now personally taking care of Jiang Wei, who is pregnant.  As for Xu Jingqiu, the women in the harem were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Think about it, Qi Lin is seven years old now.

    Xia Yao has changed a lot and is no longer as cold as before.  The whole person is softer than before.  The eyebrows and eyes are full of infinite spring color.  More popular than before.

    Xia Ying knows Wen Wan¡¯s thoughts and despises them very much.  Xia Yao's current clothes have all been changed.  In the past, Xia Yao's clothes were mainly light and plain.  Today's clothes are basically bright colors because of Wen Wan's request.  And the dressing up is also different.  It definitely looks better than before, and full of color.

    Wen Wan originally wanted Xia Yao and Wu Xing to have an unforgettable honeymoon.  It's a pity that Wen Wan had good intentions.  Reality doesn't allow it.

    ???

    Wen Wan asked Xia Ying a little strangely: "What's going on? Didn't I say that Duke Zhen was still fine before? Why did he suddenly become ill again." You must know that people who are often sick are less likely to die.  Sometimes they live longer than those with strong bodies!

    Xia Ying did not go into details: "They are all internal affairs of the Zhenguo Government." Xia Ying didn't say much because he felt it was unnecessary. He knew so much about other people's internal affairs.

    Wen Wan sighed slightly after receiving Xia Ying's confirmation.  Therefore, children must be well-educated. If they have unfilial descendants, it will be a reminder of their fate when they grow old.

    Wen Wan asked people to pack their luggage and return to the capital tomorrow.  Mei'er and Luo Shouxun were both her close friends. When an elderly member of the family passed away, she had to go there to offer incense.  Otherwise it would be impersonal.

    Xia Ying has nothing to say about Wen Wan returning to the capital early.  But tomorrow is fourThe fourteenth day of the month.  Xia Ying really felt bad about this day: "Princess, please go back on the fifteenth! It takes time to pack things." People in ancient times were superstitious.  You have to make a calculation before going out.  Four is homophonic with death.  Generally, I would not choose to go out on this day.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: "What's the taboo? Go back tomorrow." People here are taboo about death.  She believes that if you believe in this kind of thing, you have it, but if you don't believe it, you don't have it.

    When Wen Wan was packing her things, she looked at the second enlightenment book she had compiled. Well, it was one-third thinner than the first one, which meant that one-third was still unfinished.  Wen Wan was very depressed. She really didn't have time. It's a pity that the teacher didn't go back to take care of it. When she returned, the teacher criticized her again.

    Wen Wan went to the Duke's Mansion early in the morning on the second day after returning to the capital.  Wen Wan looked at Mei'er, who was quite haggard, and whispered: "It's more important to have a good rest at this time. You must eat well, otherwise you will probably collapse from exhaustion after such a funeral." There are many etiquette here.  It's so scary that it's definitely impossible to sleep well.  This can be seen at the funeral of Mrs. Ping.  After a funeral, the son and daughter-in-law were all in disbelief.  Even though Wen Wan only acted as a deterrent at that time, and she had her grandma helping her, she almost fell down from exhaustion.

    Meier shook her head: "I have no appetite for anything." Things were very complicated. After a big family held a funeral, the matron would collapse in the end.  It's hard to find the ones that don't fall down.  It usually takes a month or two of rest to regain its vitality.

    After thinking for a while, Wen Wan said: "You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite. Otherwise, I will send Sister Qiong to you quietly. You can't sleep well, but you must eat well and maintain enough physical strength." Wen Wan is not stingy.  Xia Xian was reluctant to come over to help.  It's just that Xia Xian is too eye-catching. If you send a cook to someone's funeral, you won't let anyone talk about it.  It was too conspicuous, and Wen Wan was worried that people would say that Meier was unfilial.  As for Aunt Qiong, Aunt Qiong herself lives in seclusion.  Except for some people from the Princess's Mansion.  Very few others knew her.  Wenwan only needs to ask Grandma Qiong to come over.  No one would know if I changed my name.  Of course, if you know it, you will keep your mouth shut.

    Meier has been working hard recently, and seeing Wen Wan thinking about her so much, she felt grateful: "Okay, Wen Wan, thank you very much." She knew that Grandma Qiong was good at her craftsmanship.  Her cooking skills are only inferior to Xia Xian's.

    After Wen Wan thought about it, she said: "As for those few, don't take it to heart. If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble, no matter how big the trouble is. Then you can give them more property to show your kindness and kindness.  Dadu. You should talk to your mother-in-law. It's not too late for this gentleman to take revenge. Your mother-in-law has been patient for so many years, don't you think so?"  , if Luo Shouxun made it clear that he would no longer protect them, he would not be able to keep his wealth even if he had millions of dollars.  You must know that among Luo Shouxun's two brothers who were born as concubines, although the second one has an official status, he is nothing if not protected by the Duke's Palace. Without protection and backing, he will be squeezed out sooner or later.  The little one is still white.  Want to clean them up.  There are thousands of ways.  So Wen Wan doesn't think it's cost-effective to be harsh on them now.

    Meier nodded: "Yes, I will tell my mother-in-law properly."

    After Wen Wan returned, she asked Aunt Qiong to quietly send her to the Duke's mansion that night.  Now that the Duke's mansion has passed away, meat cannot be eaten in the mansion.  Organizing a funeral is a laborious task. Wen Wan meant to ask Aunt Qiong to make some nutritious food for Meier without being told, so as to replenish her physical strength.

    Xia Ying was a little amused by Wen Wan's sneaky look: "Princess Princess, if you really want to help Miss Mei'er, you can send a few experienced nuns to help Mrs. Luo."

    Wen Wan shook her head and refused.  She gave it away with good intentions.  But this will leave a bad impression.  First of all, she is suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of other people's mansions.  Secondly, it had a very bad influence on Meier. If others knew that she sent her nanny to help, they would think that Meier, the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion, couldn't even hold a funeral.  Then the ability of this future Duke's wife will be greatly reduced in the minds of others.

    Mei'er tried her best to persuade the Duke's wife.  Anyway, the meaning is that now that the Duke's body is still cold, if something happens, it will definitely be Luo Shouxun who will be embarrassed.  Why don't you wait until the funeral of the Duke of Guo is over and generously give the money to them and let them share it.  As for other matters, we will settle the accounts later.

    If you use other reasons.  The Duke's wife is definitely disobedient.  But for my son.  Although I was extremely reluctant in my heart.  In the end, he gave in.

    Meier saw that the old lady had been convinced, and she breathed a sigh of relief.  If something happens in the hot filial piety.  It really discredited my husband.

    Wenwan has to get busy when she returns to the capital.  Well, I have to be criticized while being busy.  Song Luoyang came to check on the progress of Wen Wan's new book and found that it was not completed yet.  It's been a year and it still hasn't been completed.  Song Luoyang was so angry that he refused to fight!

    Wen Wan said coolly: "Teacher,I have three kids to take care of and so much on my plate.  None of this would have been possible if I hadn't taken advantage of the few months I spent on vacation.  Just stop forcing me.  I really don¡¯t have time, I¡¯m almost exhausted.  "

    Song Luoyang originally wanted to criticize Wenwan with his eyes.  But seeing Wen Wan looking tired (Wen Wan was pretending), I couldn't bear it anymore.  He secretly slandered the emperor for being so unkind.  How can Wenwan be so tired?  Heck, the emperor thinks that Wen Wan is an iron man.

    Wen Wan talked to Song Luoyang about compiling "Journey to the West".  Song Luoyang smiled: "Aren't you out of time? Why do you still think of compiling Xianshu?"

    Wen Wan said bitterly that it was Prince Hao who forced her to write: "Teacher, you also know that my writing skills are average. If I can speak well, I can't write well. Teacher, I can only trouble you."

    Song Luoyang agreed. He was idle anyway, and he would be happy if the story was good.  Wen Wan took out the draft.  These were all written down by Xia Yao.  Wen Wan has been carefully revised. If it had Song Luoyang's touch-up, it should not be much worse than the original work.

    Song Luoyang took it and opened it. The top line said Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West": "Who is Wu Chengen? Why didn't you make up this story?" Song Luoyang had never heard of such a person.

    Although Wen Wan knew that this would definitely require an explanation, which would be very troublesome, Wen Wan still wrote down the author of "Journey to the West".  This does not apply to the Enlightenment Book. Although the idea of ??the Enlightenment Book is not hers, the book was compiled with great effort, and it is only natural that it bears her name.  But "Journey to the West" is different.  She is not so shameless to use her own name.

    Song Luoyang is not a person who gets to the bottom of things.  After looking at it, I thought it was quite interesting: "Okay, I'll sort it out for you." Hearing Wen Wan say that he didn't want to use her name, he smiled and agreed.  Anyway, it¡¯s just an idle book, so you can read it in your spare time.

    Having solved one thing, Wen Wan feels a lot more relaxed.  He turned around and ordered the bank's shopkeepers Ni Da and Qian to come over.  Having been away from the capital for three months, Wen Wan knew all the major events.  But the specific Wen Wan still needs to be reported in detail by Shopkeeper Ni.

    Wen Wan was looking at the report in the room and heard people outside saying that shopkeeper Ni was coming.  In addition, I also brought money from the shopkeeper.

    Shopkeeper Qian turned the loss-making branch into a profit in less than a year, and the profit was not small.  Among all branches, they are also number one.  Wen Wan is very satisfied.  So he was transferred back at the beginning of the new year.  Facts have proved that he is indeed a talent, and Wen Wan must be reused.  So this time I also asked shopkeeper Qian to come over.

    Wen Wan looked at Shopkeeper Qian, who was wearing a sky-blue robe, a gray beard, and a rickety figure.  It is said that it is smaller than that of Shopkeeper Ni.  But he looks older than Shopkeeper Ni.  However, Wen Wan looked at him and was in good spirits. Otherwise, Wen Wan would not dare to use it.  Because you are busy when you take on the burden, and bank matters are very complicated.  In case of exhaustion.  But it's troublesome.

    Shopkeeper Qian was a little excited when he saw Wen Wan. He immediately prostrated on the ground and said, "Kowtow to the princess, the princess is a thousand years old."

    When Wen Wan heard about Chitose, she felt uncomfortable all over.  This can't be regarded as an old monster, where did Chitose come from.  Of course, the main reason is that Wenwan rarely receives such a gift: "Get up!"

    Shopkeeper Ni said respectfully: "Princess, senior brother is very grateful to the princess for redressing his injustice. So I saw that the princess was a little rude, so I asked the princess to forgive me."

    Wen Wan cursed in her heart when she heard the words "Redress the injustice".  I am not Bao Qingtian.  But looking at this man who was much older than Shopkeeper Ni, I felt pity in my heart.  If it's true corruption, then that's it. But if a person with good character is framed as a thief, it goes without saying that he can't hold his head high in front of others because of this incident.  This also understands why Shopkeeper Qian looks older than Shopkeeper Ni.  Tortured by this injustice.

    Well, Wen Wan thought unkindly that this would be better.  With this experience of falling into the dust, I will be able to hold on no matter how great the temptation is in the future.

    Wen Wan said to shopkeeper Qian who was still kneeling on the ground: "Get up. If you keep kneeling on the ground, how can I talk to you?"

    Only then did Shopkeeper Qian get up tremblingly.

    Wen Wan affirmed Shopkeeper Qian¡¯s previous achievements and also talked about her next plan.  Wenwan¡¯s next step is to continue opening branches.  Aim for within three years.  Guangyuan Bank's branches will be located in every state and county in Daqi: "I don't know if Shopkeeper Ni and Shopkeeper Qian have this confidence."

    Shopkeeper Qian didn't know that this matter was related to him: "Princess Princess. Common people"

    Wen Wan waved her hand: "My plan is to let Shopkeeper Ni sit in the capital. You will be solely responsible for the branch. You just need to tell me whether you have confidence." Confidence is also equal to ability.  Where does confidence come from without ability.  Gentleness only cares about the result and does not care about the process.  She will delegate power, but you must also be able to take it.

    Shopkeeper Qian was very excited.It can be seen from his trembling hands how excited he was at this time: "As long as the princess can trust the common people, the common people have confidence." He couldn't help but be excited.  Princess Wenwan showed her wholehearted trust in him.

    Wen Wan looked at Shopkeeper Qian after saying this, as if he was a few years younger.  Wen Wan suddenly understood why shopkeeper Ni Da said shopkeeper Qian was a talented person.  Judging from his performance just now, Shopkeeper Qian must be extremely passionate about this industry.  Because of love, I devote myself wholeheartedly.

    Wen Wan nodded secretly in her heart: "Shopkeeper Qian, I can make it clear to you here. I have always believed in employing people with no suspicion and not trusting people with suspicion. As long as you run errands for me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you badly."

    Shopkeeper Qian's voice suddenly became louder: "Thank you, Princess." I thought this life was over, but I didn't expect that the sun would reappear.  In order to repay the kindness of the princess, he would do anything to repay the kindness (Wen Wan sweated: Don't be so exaggerated, just work hard for me, make more money, and let me have some leisure).  (To be continued)
