Text 42: Ye Xun¡¯s determination

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From Ling Yuan's incident, Xia Yao became more convinced of one thing: "Princess, they all say that like mother, like son." For this reason, Xia Yao kept finding fault with Ling Chang.

    Wen Wan shook her head: "You are too one-sided. The child is a blank sheet of paper when he is born. The most important thing about his future is how to teach him. What you said like mother, like son is not entirely wrong. If the child is  Growing up next to his mother, he naturally learned his mother's attitude and way of doing things. Now that Ling Chang is with me, I will teach him well.  It's been two years and you should see clearly. Xia Yao, you should be prepared, but you can't be afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years. "

    As soon as Wen Wan saw Xia Yao's expression, she knew that she didn't fully listen.  Xia Yao has always been worried about Ping Shangtang.  There is nothing Wen Wan can do about it: "Xia Yao, don't interfere in Ling Chang's affairs. Sometimes the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Do you understand?"

    Under the gentle and sharp gaze, Xia Yao compromised.

    Xia Yao was depressed, and there was another person who was equally depressed.

    Bai Shinian received a letter from Wen Wan and saw Wen Wan saying in the letter that she did not agree to marry Xia Xian to Ye Xun.  The reason is also very simple, Ye Xun is unreliable.  Ye Xun had already suspected that Xia Xian was attracted to Bai Shinian, which showed that he was not a broad-minded man.  It doesn't matter, just go on the line like this. If you get married in the future, you won't have to tie Xia Xian to your belt. Maybe even that won't worry you.  Wen Wan could not trust Xia Xian to marry such a narrow-minded man.

    Ye Xun knew that Wen Wan¡¯s reason for rejection was very depressing.  He was frightened by Qi Li Niang, but he didn't expect that he would regret it for thousands of years if he made a mistake.

    Bai Shinian patted Ye Xun on the shoulder: "Wen Wan doesn't understand you. That's why I said this. When we return to the capital after the war, Wen Wan will know who you are as time goes by, and she won't refuse." The premise is that  Ye Xun is willing to defend.

    Ye Xun said with some worry: "Just be afraid, Miss Xia Xian has fallen in love with someone else"

    Bai Shinian smiled and said, "Don't worry. It won't happen."

    Bai Shinian¡¯s confidence is not without reason.  That's how it is in this era.  Women in their thirties are considered mothers outside.  In other words, Wen Wan treats the maids around her as treasures.  And based on Bai Shinian's understanding of Wen Wan, his wife was so picky that she would definitely not marry Xia Xian off casually.  But the objective condition is that Xia Xian is over thirty.  At such an age, it is difficult to find a satisfactory candidate.  Maybe there is a suitable man who is willing to marry, but it is basically for the sake of gentleness.  Not only Wen Wan would not have agreed, but Xia Xian, such a capable and strong-willed woman, is so good at marrying off.  To put it bluntly, it was Xia Xian's good fortune that Ye Xun could like Xia Xian.  Although Ye Xun is usually hard to watch, his literary talent is outstanding.  Good at resourcefulness.  The emperor will definitely receive a heavy reward when he returns to the capital in the future.  A thirty-year-old woman cannot marry a good man, but a forty-year-old man can marry a young girl of twenty-eight years of age.  Therefore, as long as Ye Xun is willing to wait, this thing will definitely happen.

    Ye Xun thought for a while and then said: "I think I'd better write a letter to the princess myself to explain this matter. Otherwise, I will regret it later." Ye Xun felt incredible when he said it.  He is really worried. He has been worried for the past two years!

    If Wen Wan is here.  It must be said that all men have a low moral character.  What you can¡¯t get is the best, so try your best to get it.

    Bai Shinian also agreed with Ye Xun's opinion.  Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.  This is safe: "Then you can write it today. I will send the letter home tomorrow."

    After Ye Xun left, Bai Shinian also returned to the study to write a letter home to Wen Wan and their two children.  Since Wen Wan allowed Mingrui to correspond with Mingjin, the two children each chattered a lot with him.  That tone was not unfamiliar at all.  If someone saw them, they would never believe that the father and son had never met.

    After Bai Shinian finished writing the letter to his two children, he wrote to Wen Wan again.  The first is to complain that Wen Wan has stopped writing to him recently.  He complained a lot, and then talked about Ye Xun.  He didn't say much, he just told Wen Wan that he couldn't beat Ye Xun to death for one thing.

    The two of them sent the letter to the capital the next day without mentioning it.

    The Zhenguogong Mansion in the capital.  Now it has a new owner.  With the old Duke gone, Luo Shouxun naturally became the new generation of male protagonists of the Duke's Mansion.  Meier also became the mistress of this mansion.  She has been upgraded to the title of Lady of the State.

    After the funeral of the old Duke was over, Mrs. Luo asked the two concubines to go out.  Neither of the two concubines wanted to move away, so the old lady only gave them a sneer, and directly ordered Luo Shouxun to call the Luo family's patriarch and elders.  No more talking nonsense to the two bastards.

    Although there is a saying in this era that parents should not separate families when they are together.  But this is for my brothers.  For concubines.  Usually when the head of the family dies, the mistress requests that the family be separated.  They will all be divided, too.No one will find fault.

    The clan leader and elders came over quickly to preside over the family division.  In fact, family division is also very simple. The land for sacrifices is not divided, and the ancestral home is not divided. There is also another rule that ancestral property is not divided (that is, in order to maintain the cohesion of the family, some large families will set aside a piece of ancestral property. It is expressly forbidden to divide these properties)  , but because King Zhao¡¯s rebellion involved the Duke¡¯s government, these ancestral properties were also confiscated.  The public property that can be divided now is pitifully small.

    It has been Mei'er who has been in charge of the house these years, and every year Mei'er has to subsidize a large amount of money.  But if she doesn't care, how can she let others take care of it?  Mei'er was willing to let others take care of her, but the biggest problem was that these people made the Duke's mansion a mess.  It will still be her who loses then.  This mansion belongs to her, not to those two concubines.

    The two concubines heard from the patriarch that 80% of the public property would be given to Luo Shouxun, and they could only get 10% each.  Immediately the veins popped up.  But he still managed not to have an attack.

    Later, I saw that the property was just a little bit. Each of them had 10%, and only had five or six thousand taels of silver.  I was no longer willing to do so now.  The second son's wife immediately shouted: "Why are the most profitable shops not divided? Just use these things to fool us?"

    The clan leader and elders looked at Luo Shouxun with some surprise. It shouldn't be. Based on his understanding of Luo Shouxun, he had inherited the title.  Several shops will not be hidden.

    Meier stepped out and said calmly: "What my brothers and sisters are talking about is my dowry. Since ancient times, families have been divided. What is divided is the public property. It makes no sense to share my dowry."

    Before the patriarch could say anything, the second daughter-in-law started to mutter: "Your dowry was only that much when you got married. But look at the property you own now and count it yourself. The annual interest from these few shops is  There are tens of thousands of taels of silver. You said it was your dowry, but in fact, you took the public property to buy it, but it was put in your name.  Gongzhong, you have been holding it off until now, and it has become your dowry."

    Meier opened two more shops last year.  In addition to the previous one, there is also a spice shop and a rouge shop.  Meier's annual income is thirty to forty thousand taels of silver.  Don't think that three to forty thousand taels of silver is a small amount.  Mei'er's dowry was only more than 40,000 taels of silver.  Nowadays, the annual income is 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, which is enviable.

    Mei'er hasn't said a word yet.  Luo Shouxun's face turned red and he was so angry that he roared in front of the court: "What nonsense are you talking about? My wife took the father's money to buy property and put it as her own dowry. Over the years, my wife has been a housekeeper and has supplemented the public's income. How much do you use every day?  If you don't have enough, now you have the idea of ????her dowry. It is really unscrupulous." Luo Shouxun had always felt guilty because Meier had been using dowry to supplement his father-in-law.  Now when I heard this, I was naturally extremely angry.

    Mei'er waited for Luo Shouxun to finish speaking, and then said in a deep voice: "Is it because my dowry is too much? It is the property of the public family, this is too funny. It might as well be said here that when I got married, my dowry was only  It's true that it's four to five thousand taels of silver. But I've managed it well in the past few years, and my dowry has doubled compared to when I got married. I won't go into details here.  The clan leader and the clan always know the reason. "Her dowry has doubled, and many people are jealous.  But there is only jealousy.  If you want to take advantage, there is no way.

    Several clan leaders and elders looked at each other.  It is a well-known fact in the capital that the new Duke's wife, Hua Shi, is on good terms with Princess Wenwan.  Rumor has it that the money Princess Wenwan earns every year can equal half of the national treasury's income.  As long as Fahrenheit makes some mistakes from Princess Wen Wan, there is really no point in doubling the dowry several times.  Even if you are jealous, you can¡¯t get enough of it.  Not everyone can pick up the leaks from Princess Wenwan.

    The patriarch cleared his throat: "It's really unreasonable. When a family is divided, they will share the dowry of their daughter-in-law. If you want, just sign and pledge it." The patriarch didn't even bother to ask the two people for their opinions.  The achievements of a concubine are pretty good.  If someone is more cruel, they can just throw some money and get kicked out.  The Duke of Guo is quite kind.

    Luo Shouxun originally thought that he had inherited the title and would get half of the property.  Give half to the concubine brothers.  Now that such a commotion has occurred, he has lost all face.  Those thoughts are gone.  If you give it, you won't remember the favor.

    The two younger sisters-in-law still wanted to make trouble. The clan leader was angry and even divided the daughter-in-law's dowry. If this spread, the Luo family would be shameless.  If they make trouble again, they will be expelled from the clan.

    Meier looked at her two sisters-in-law with angry expressions.  Smile brightly.  Even if I have money, even if I throw it into the water, I won¡¯t give you even half an advantage.  Over the years, these two women have tried many ways to split their shares with her.  It's really a joke that I can't make trouble now.

    After the family separation was completed, the two families were kicked out of the Duke's Mansion that day.  As for the furnishings in their house, they all took them away.  But that time my vitality was severely damaged,The furnishings in the Duke's Mansion actually don't have many interesting things.  Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

    Meier also took the opportunity to make personnel changes.  Send all those who are unruly and rebellious to old age to Zhuangzi in the countryside to live in their old age.  The important positions have been replaced by their own people.

    Mei'er was still a little uneasy, thinking that the old lady would have objections, but she didn't expect that the old lady worshiped the Buddha every day and didn't care about the affairs of the mansion.  Meier finally breathed a sigh of relief.  This will finally be the time to become the master.

    Because Xiaoqi couldn¡¯t be a guest in someone else¡¯s mansion, Meier wrote a letter to Wen Wan and talked about the current situation.  I¡¯m also very grateful to Aunt Qiong for sending it Wen Wan.  She raised her sons and daughters to be fat and white.  If Wen Wan is not in a hurry, I hope I can stay a few more days.  At the same time, I sincerely hope that Grandma Qiong can teach some skills to her people, so that they no longer need to envy Wenwan in the future.

    Wen Wan smiled and shook her head, writing a letter specifically for such a trivial matter.  However, Wenwan saw Meier talking about the family separation.  Meier's intention in the letter was to confiscate these shops to the public.  If it were before, Wen Wan would definitely not have any suggestions.  But thinking about the last time I went to Luo's house, there was a pregnant woman in the backyard of Luo's house.  Who knows how many pregnant women there will be in the future.  These industries were confiscated.  It will be the little tigers and leopards who will lose money at that time.

    The gentle reply soon reached Meier¡¯s hands.  Seeing Wen Wan, Meier suggested that his dowry should not be confiscated, as her children would suffer if the dowry was not confiscated.  If it is really confiscated, it will also hurt the relationship between the couple.  You must know that Luo Shouxun is a male chauvinist.  If this matter spreads, those hostile people will definitely use it to attack him.  So it means gentle.  Let Luo Shouxun refuse on his own.

    As Wen Wan expected, Luo Shouxun refused.  Since Luo Shouxun refused, as a wife, she naturally had to respect her husband's life.

    Ping'er said with a smile: "The princess should understand the Duke." In fact, Ping'er meant not to confiscate the dowry.  I feel confident when I have money in my hand.  And after confiscation.  But it is not cheap for those who are born as concubines, and they will lose a few young masters and ladies in the future.

    To be fair, Meier had this idea before.  But when both women in the backyard became pregnant (another woman became pregnant while Meier was in confinement).  Meier was also a little reluctant.  Then she was even more unwilling to break up the family this time.  It's just that once the words are said, it's hard to take them back.  Now that the Duke himself refuses, everyone is naturally happy.

    " Mei'er's life is really easy now, and the old lady doesn't care about anything.  She is now the mistress of the Duke's mansion, and all the tired sisters-in-law have moved out.  In addition to dealing with household matters every day, he also takes care of his two children.  The days are becoming more and more moist.

    Meier¡¯s life is getting better, and Wenwan also feels that her life is getting easier and easier.  Wen Wan now has Jiang Lin in the commercial bank and manager Ni in the bank.  For a wealthy shopkeeper to open a branch, all she has to do is check.  That¡¯s a lot of time at once.

    Wen Wan now has time, and her energy begins to focus on her children.  I also discovered that Mingjin always disturbed Mingrui when he practiced martial arts.  The child is now three years old. Wen Wan asked Ming Rui to concentrate on practicing martial arts and pulled Ming Jin away. Ming Jin, wearing a martial arts training hat, was actually causing trouble on the inside.  As for Ling Chang, Wen Wan has already asked him to start studying Twenty Histories.

    "Twenty Histories" is obscure and difficult to understand, and most adults don't like it.  Back then, Wen Wan also suffered from this.  So Ling Chang had a very difficult time learning.  Seeing this, Wen Wan separated these historical figures one by one.  Tell it as a wonderful story.  After listening to the vernacular, Ling Chang¡¯s learning effect was much better when he went back to study.

    Using this alternative method to teach Ling Cheng, Wen Wan also knew that if such a method spread, it would definitely be bombarded by those pedantic old Confucian scholars.  So Ling Chang was not allowed to tell anyone.

    Wen Wan adopts a free-spirited attitude to teach children. Let alone other people, even Song Luoyang said that she was an incompetent teacher.  Where can I only teach my children to study for half a day every day?  Then I study by myself for half a day!  Children learn on their own what they want the teacher to do.

    Wen Wan looked at Song Luoyang and said questioningly, "Hey, I remember that the teacher seemed to be in the capital for only two or three months a year." Song Luoyang was embarrassed to say that to her.  You must know that compared to Song Luoyang, she is already a very dedicated teacher.

    Song Luoyang was choked.  In fact, Song Luoyang liked Mingjin very much and originally wanted to let Wen Wan give Mingjin to him.  Unexpectedly, Wen Wan was choked up after just one word.

    Wen Wan laughed secretly in her heart. It would be strange if she didn't know the teacher's subtext.  But she really couldn't let Mingjin learn from Song Luoyang.  But we must not learn from the hermit style of Luoyang in Song Dynasty.  Let alone Song Luoyang's upright character, who would rather be straight than bend.  You know, for the sake of her son, she restrained her temper.

    Song Luoyang didn¡¯t dwell too much on this and talked about the book he had compiled.  Song Luoyang had a lot of questions and asked Wen Wan.  Song Luoyang is meticulous and conscientious in his work and is a very responsible person.?People's people.  Now that I have decided to take over, I must do my best.

    Wenwan tried her best to answer.

    Wenwan received a handwritten letter from Yutong: "What happened to Princess Feng?" What kind of letter should I write?  Something must have happened.

    Xia Ying shook her head: "It's nothing. It's just that her son is often sick. I guess she asked the princess how to raise the child well?" They are both premature babies. Mingrui and Mingjin raised them so well that many people are envious.  !  It is normal for Princess Feng to ask again.

    Wen Wan opened the letter, and Fang Yutong was indeed asking about the child.  The child had a serious illness at the end of last year, and then continued to have minor illnesses.  Fang Yutong was anxious and anxious, so he could only ask Wen Wan for help again.

    Wen Wan threw the letter on the table, a little irritated: "I have already written everything I should say before. Now here I am, and I am not a doctor." It was not said before that the child had improved, so why would a good child become seriously ill.  Children at such a young age have very poor resistance.  That requires careful care.  But she could still make the child seriously ill.  I think the child lives too long.

    Xia Yao spoke sharply: "Princess, I mean you should not interfere with this bad thing. If you continue to interfere, if something bad happens to that child, you will definitely be blamed. Princess Feng.  It can no longer be reproduced. If there is something wrong with this child, the grievances will be transferred to the princess. If not me, your good intentions will make you ashamed. "Xia Yao.  I really thought that Fang Yutong would do such a thing.  If it weren't for the princess, how could the emperor point her out to Prince Feng.  As soon as she married into the royal family, she thought she was superior to others, and even the princess didn't look down on her.  This woman doesn't know how to be grateful. She is like a white wolf like Ping Shangtang. She is not worth helping.

    Xia Ying also agreed with Xia Yao: "Princess, what Xia Yao said makes sense. Moreover, Princess Feng has no brains. The relationship between husband and wife has long been gone by this time. If she is smart, she should cheer up for the sake of her children. But.  But she didn't. She only felt sorry for herself every day. She felt good before, but now it seems that even the Su family is better than her. It's only a matter of time before Fang Yutong is punished by the He family. "Princess, don't go."  Let's go through this muddy water. What if Xia Yao is right? Princess" Xia Ying left the suspense to Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan didn't think about Fang Yutong or anything else. Instead, she was surprised by He's words: "Qi Feng actually dotes on He to this extent? Is it too much?" This is really like spoiling a concubine.  The smell of my wife is inside.  The relationship between husband and wife used to be very good.  But now, Qi Feng is too unkind and unjust.

    Xia Yao looked solemn: "So, I think something is wrong with the He family. Not only did the relationship between the sixth prince and Fang Yutong fade, but he also gradually became estranged from the third prince. I see that the sixth prince has plans to start a new business. This must be a disaster.  "

    Wen Wan will not express his opinions on spoiling concubines and destroying wives.  But in this era where brothers are like siblings and women are like clothes.  He's pillow talk can make the relationship between Qi Feng and Qi Mu worse, if only for a long time.  But how long has it been?  This woman's destructive ability is too strong.

    Wen Wan thought about her inappropriate reaction before. She had never suffered from heartache.  Why did He react like that when I first met him?  Wen Wan murmured: "Is it really a disaster?" Wen Wan wasn't superstitious, but she really felt that this woman was extraordinary.

    Wen Wan was shocked when she thought of a possibility: "You said, the leader behind those rebellious ministers has not been caught yet. Do you think the He family is one of them?" Use a beauty trap to confuse the emperor, and then stir up trouble.

    Xia Ying nodded solemnly: "It's really possible."

    Xia Yao did not respond.  Wen Wan also said it casually.  Seeing Xia Ying taking it seriously, and then looking at Xia Yao's funny expression, she felt a little embarrassed.  According to Xia Yao's level of vigilance towards the He family, she must have checked it many times.

    Fang Yutong didn't get a gentle reply, he just asked her to see the imperial doctor if she had anything to do.  Fang Yutong looked at his son who had just recovered from the fever, and the grief in his heart was beyond words.

    Fang Yutong¡¯s nanny tried to persuade her: ¡°Princess, you must cheer up. You must not be like this.¡± As the child¡¯s body became weaker and weaker, the princess became more and more impatient.  She is very worried!

    When Wen Wan received the letter from her family, she first picked out the letter from Bai Shinian to her son and gave it to Mingrui and Mingjin as usual.  Every time at this time, Mingrui and Mingjin both looked happy.

    After Wen Wan read the letter written by Ye Xun, she thought for a while and then asked someone to call Xia Xian over.  She showed Xia Xian the letter written by Ye Xun to her.

    Xia Xian's face turned pale after reading the letter. She looked at Wen Wan and gritted her teeth: "Princess, I don't want to. Just reject him!" Xia Xian knew that the princess wanted to agree.

    Wen Wan chuckled and said, "Why don't you want to? Is it because Ye Xun misunderstood that you have feelings for Bai Shinian? Why can't you understand that he cares about her because of her?"?, that¡¯s why the error occurred.  "

    Xia Xian felt relieved when she saw that Wen Wan didn't care about the scandal.  But Ye Xun was still unswerving about marrying her: "Princess, he just wants to marry me to be his mother. Princess, I will never marry."

    Wen Wan sighed slightly: "Who doesn't have heirs? But Ye Xun said that he doesn't care about heirs or anything else. As long as you are willing to marry, he will even be willing to live in the general's mansion in the future. Xia Xian, you won't  Do you really think that your cooking skills make Ye Xun so determined to marry you? You know, as long as you have money, you can't hire any chef."

    Xia Xian said categorically: "Impossible, Princess, don't be deceived by him." She didn't believe that nonsense.  Xia Xian is filled with anger whenever she thinks of what Ye Xun said.

    Wen Wan said nothing, just looked at Xia Xian.

    Xia Xian's scalp was numb when she saw Wen Wan, and suddenly her heart felt cold.  Kneeling on the ground with a bang: "Princess, I really have no other thoughts about the general. If I did, I would be willing to suffer eighteen tortures."

    Wen Wan was speechless after being manipulated by Xia Xian: "You have so little confidence in me?" She was just thinking about how to conquer this fortress, but she didn't expect Xia Xian to misunderstand her.  Wenwan is very depressed.  Her jealous reputation made everyone around her irritated.

    Seeing Wen Wan's expression, Xia Xian knew that she was overthinking: "No"

    It¡¯s strange that Wen Wan cursed in her heart.  But she didn't pursue this: "Xia Xian, why do you think Ye Xun lied to you in order to marry you? Did Ye Xun first lie to Bai Shinian to marry you, and now he lies to me? Do you think Bai Shinian has poor vision? Or is it?  Do you think I'm easy to deceive?" Wen Wan has not yet met anyone who dares to deceive her.

    Wen Wan saw that Xia Xian remained silent and continued: "In order to marry you, you still lied to me and told Bai Shinian that he didn't care about his children? Are you still willing to stay in the General's Mansion in the future? Xia Xian, do you think it is possible?"

    Xia Xian is speechless.

    Wen Wan sighed slightly: "Actually, the problem is not with Ye Xun, but with you. You have no confidence in yourself and do not believe that Ye Xun is sincerely marrying you. Am I right?" This is the key.  What Ye Xun said before was all a misunderstanding, just clear it up.  But Xia Xian has no confidence, this is a troublesome matter.

    Xia Xian felt calm about this: "Yes, Princess, I don't understand why he fell in love with me, let alone why he wanted to marry me?" She is already in her thirties, but she really doesn't have this  Ye Xun fell in love with her self-confidence, and then tried every means to marry her home.

    Wen Wan laughed after hearing this: "Xia Xian, actually I don't understand why Bai Shinian must marry me? Not at that time, even now I don't understand why Bai Shinian is so good to me? In fact, I really don't think I have  How good, I even think that I am not worthy of him." This is Wen Wan's sincere words.  She has long lost confidence in men.  Looking back now, Bai Shinian suffered a lot from her troubles back then. Even when she got married, she went through all the trouble, Wen Wan felt ashamed.  She was not only touched by Bai Shinian's persistence and tolerance, but also found it incredible.  After that, she just blamed fate, accumulated merit, and met such a good man (other than this gentleness, she really couldn't find any other reason).

    ?? Why would the princess think that she is not worthy of Bai Shinian!

    Wen Wan chuckled: "Do you think I am worthy of Bai Shinian? Then ask Xia Yao, are you worthy of Ye Xun? Besides, since Ye Xun has told me solemnly, do you think Ye Xun  Will marry a woman who is not worthy of him."

    Xia Xian still refuses to let go.

    ¡°Don¡¯t force me to be gentle, after all, this concept won¡¯t change for a while.  Thinking about Xia Yao, it took her ten years to get over it.  Xia Ying, on the other hand, couldn't straighten things out: "Xia Xian, I hope you won't miss out on such a good marriage because of unnecessary worries. Don't rush to deny it either. Ye Xun won't be back in a short time, so why don't you?  It takes time to think about it.¡±

    After Wen Wan finished talking to Xia Xian, she replied.  Anyway, it means that she has persuaded Xia Xian.  If Ye Xun dared to give up halfway, she would definitely not be able to spare him.

    Fortunately, the result did not disappoint Wen Wan.  (To be continued)
