Wen Wan went to Su Mansion, but this time she didn't bring her two children with her. After arriving at the Su Mansion, Haishi personally came out to greet him. Mrs. Su is bedridden. Wen Wan did not go to the backyard, but went directly to where Su Xiang lived.
When Wen Wan saw Su Xiang, she couldn't help but recall a sentence, time makes people grow old. It¡¯s been a long time since we last saw each other, and Su Xiang is getting older.
Wen Wan still maintained her true self in front of Su Xiang. He walked forward politely and helped Su Xiang, who was walking unsteadily: "Uncle, why do you need you to come out in person? Just wait for me in the house.
Yes. It's cold outside and the wind is strong. It's no joke if it blows. "
Wenwan went out this time, because she was meeting her elders, so she dressed in a more homely style and did not wear palace clothes. In the past, Wen Wan always wore palace clothes when meeting foreign guests.
Su Xiang had a kind face: "Looking at you, I know you are really old. I think back then, when I just met you, you were still a little kid! Now, you are already the mother of two children." Back then, How pitiful the gentleness back then was.
Xia Yao curled her lips in her heart, thinking about those days. Generally speaking, when people think about the past, they just want to reminisce about the past, and then think about all the bad things that happened in the past. Moreover, the princess back then was so pitiful that none of these elders cared about her. King Zheng didn't know that the princess existed, but Su Hu did. As long as they had this intention and took care of her, the princess wouldn't have had enough to eat and clothing, and almost be killed by that poisonous woman when she was a child. Most of them are people who come and go without benefit.
Su Hu smiled and said, "Why don't you bring the two boys over and show them to me. Speaking of which, back then you renovated the yard and built a special play area for the children. At that time, everyone said that you were like a sheep and two boys lost their minds playing with things. I Let¡¯s just say that Bai Shinian will definitely be as clever as he is when he grows up.¡±
Wen Wan smiled and said: "It's also my two children who are too smart. Uncle, you don't know that my two boys are so smart and learn things so fast that I don't even have any sense of accomplishment. Brother Rui is also a young adult. In this way, I can see that he has a calm temperament at a young age. Even if I want to teach him to become a playboy with this kind of temperament, Brother Jin is afraid of Brother Rui. He will do whatever Brother Rui says. I don¡¯t dare to violate anything. Having such a brother makes me feel more relaxed.¡±
Su Hu smiled and then said: "Wen Wan, what do you think about Shang Tang's matter? Do you think that the prince is responsible for Shang Tang's matter this time?" Su Hu's thinking was now jumping. Fortunately, Wen Wan can keep up with the rhythm.
Xia Yao sneered in her eyes. He knew that nothing good would happen if Su Xiang came to find the princess. Just look at what medicine he sells in his gourd.
Wen Wan nodded, she had been paying attention to this matter from beginning to end. Naturally, he knew the details behind it clearly: "Well, not only the prince, but also the promoters of the fifth and sixth princes are behind him."
Su Xiang looked at Wen Wan with turbid eyes, but there was a faint smile on Wen Wan's face, and it was impossible to tell what Wen Wan was thinking. I sighed slightly in my heart. But his face didn't show "Ping Shangtang, he was just a pebble asking for directions. Unfortunately, this pebble was too cowardly. It sank so quickly. However, the effect can still be achieved."
Wen Wan looked puzzled, "If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about making this matter a big deal. But I'm very surprised why the prince and several princes are making such big moves now. Now the emperor's uncle They are still young, and they are not afraid of the emperor's anger when they make trouble so quickly."
The old prime minister was quiet for a while. Then he said in a low voice, "Gods fight. Mortals suffer. The fight between several princes, in the end, it is the people below who are the losers." Throughout the ages, those who have fought for the throne. In the end, the most unlucky ones are the courtiers below.
She said gently and sincerely: "Uncle, when the emperor's grandfather was here, I often told him that I didn't clean up the cells. I get dizzy when I see political affairs. Not to mention the intrigues in it. I have always had so much trouble. How far away I am. Even though the emperor's grandfather has been with me for so many years, I still haven't made any progress. The emperor's uncle said that I am a piece of wood that cannot be carved. Too stupid."
The old prime minister chuckled: "Girl, you are too self-effacing. If people hear what you say, no one will dare to say that they are smart anymore."
Wen Wan smiled sincerely. But he didn't take what the old prime minister said.
Seeing that Wen Wan did not take the initiative to bring it up, the old prime minister raised it himself: "How do you think the emperor will deal with this Ping Shang Tang incident?"
Wen Wan began to think that the old prime minister would not stand up for Ping Shangtang. But after receiving the letter from the old prime minister, Wen Wan came down knowing that the old prime minister was reluctant to leave Ping Shangtang. Wen Wan knew that it would be meaningless if she just shied away after all the talk, so she smiled and said, "After all, you are still too young. With the respect of my uncle and me, I have been going smoothly in the capital. Without any training, I am too young."Smoothly. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to fall into the pit dug by others. It would be good to let him suffer a little this time. It also made him know in his heart that if he made a mistake, he might be doomed. No one can save him. "As long as there is life, nothing else matters.
The old prime minister nodded, and what he said gently was the focus. Because he was too smooth, his scheming was not tempered, and because he thought his background was strong, no one dared to touch him. Otherwise, it would be so easy to fall into the trap. Thinking of this, the old prime minister smiled and said: "These are all false accusations. I believe the emperor knows it. Shangtang is still young. After a year and a half, when the storm subsides, he can still recover."
He nodded with a gentle smile, but did not answer the old prime minister's words. The emperor gave such a good opportunity, but he failed to take advantage of it and made it so embarrassing, which embarrassed the emperor. If the emperor had nothing to say to Wen Wan, Wen Wan would definitely beat him up haha. But since the emperor has something to say, Wen Wan will not accept it. This incident can fully prove that Ping Shangtang is not worthy of his responsibilities.
The servant brought tea, and he took a sip of it and put down the cup. I don¡¯t want to be around Ping Shang Tang all the time. Wen Wan changed the subject, "Uncle, I'm actually a little worried. Do you think they are coming for me, or for you, uncle?"
The old prime minister chuckled, "Haha, I am an old man who quits because of what I can get. If I want to rush, I will do it for you, but don't drag me into the water. You are now the God of Wealth in Daqi, who doesn't want to take a bite. "
Wen Wan deliberately pretended to be confused, and heard the old prime minister say, "It makes no sense to accuse me. I am a woman, and I am not involved in political affairs, so what are you going to accuse me of? As for the God of Wealth, that's just a rumor." Others don¡¯t know. Uncle, you don¡¯t know that the money belongs to the emperor¡¯s uncle.¡±
Seeing that Wen Wan was not sure what to say, the old prime minister even deliberately changed the topic. He roughly understood what would happen to Ping Shang Tang. In fact, many people also know that the emperor must be the one who takes the lion's share. Otherwise the emperor would not be so conniving. But if you can get it, it leaks from Wen Wan's fingers. Don't know how much it is.
Everyone is staring at Wen Wan, but unfortunately Wen Wan has no weaknesses, so she can only test the people around her: "Not at you, but at me, an old man who quits the court. Why bother to spend so much effort! To say it, it's not I'm going for you, for the wealthy people in Jiangnan. Shangtang just blocks their way, so they naturally have to remove this stumbling block. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen. ¡¯s move.¡±
Wen Wanjiao smiled: "My uncle is a veteran who has lived through three dynasties. He has eaten more salt than I have eaten rice. Uncle, tell me, how should we handle this matter." Wen Wan did not accept what the old prime minister said at all. . No ideas either. No matter if it was really directed at her or not. At least apparently he doesn't care about her.
Su Xiang smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face relaxed. "I'm a mother now, and it hasn't changed at all!" Su Hu said with a gentle attitude.
"Uncle, you are a veteran in the officialdom. You are the most shrewd. Give me two tricks." Su Xiang made a move, which means he has a way to solve it. Then there is no need for Wen Wan to contribute.
Su Xiang narrowed his eyes. Then he smiled and said: "Standing unchanged in response to all changes is the most correct way." At this point, Wen Wan's attitude was actually very clear. No more temptations. There is no need to say it at all. Wen Wan will never follow his words, which means Wen Wan will not get involved in this matter.
Wen Wan accompanied Su Xiang for another conversation. Most of them were talking about Mingrui and Mingjin. Other things, not to mention government affairs, not even a word about business matters.
Su Xiang smiled and said: "Girl, I heard that Mr. Fang in your residence is very knowledgeable. Even Prince Hao sent his grandson to your residence to study with Mr. Fang."
Wen Wan was very happy after hearing this: "Uncle, you don't know, Prince Hao really spent a lot of money! In order to send Qi Zhe to my residence to study with Mr. Fang, he actually gave me 5% of the shares of Guangyuan Bank. , said it was to pay for Qi Zhe to study at my residence. Uncle, do you think I can refuse to accept it? Guangyuan Bank¡¯s current annual dividend is about 4 million, and the annual dividend for 5% of the shares is 200,000. Sitting here to collect this penny! Prince Hao is my elder, and he has spent so much money. If I don¡¯t accept it, it¡¯s really unreasonable. ¡°Actually, Wen Wan knows very well about Hao. Why would the prince make such a big deal? That's because the emperor always wanted to take back the shares ceded by the bank. From the establishment of the bank to the present. One share is ten thousand, and the profits earned over the years have been paid back tenfold and a hundredfold. Half of it was taken back before, and there is still a smaller half.
Su Xiang shook his head: "You, you, are not afraid that Prince Hao will upset you."
Wen Wan laughed continuously: "What's wrong? Everyone in the world knows that what I'm good at is doing business. The reason for doing business is to make money, of course. The so-called "can't afford to be early without profit" is what a businessman should do. Essence. Fortunately, there isThe teacher escorted me and didn't let me get the reputation of a profiteer. "The meaning of Wen Wan's words clearly shows her attitude. If you can't afford it, why don't you do it sooner! If you want to study in the Princess's Mansion, if you succeed, take out the chips that make her excited.
Wen Wan talked to Su Xiang for a while, and seeing that Su Xiang couldn't hold on, she left with a smile.
After Wen Wan left, Su Xiang¡¯s eyes, which had always seemed cloudy, shone with sparkling light. Su Xian asked cautiously: "Dad, what is Wenwan's attitude?"
Su Xiang praised: "I talked for a long time, but I didn't say a single useful word. As expected of the teachings of the late emperor. It's not leaking, but almost let me in."
Su Xian hesitated and said: "Wen Wan really let go of Shang Tang?"
Su Hu looked very calm: "For the sake of the princess, the emperor will not kill him. Princess Fuhui did not know the emperor when she met him, but she is the emperor's only sister after all. Ping Shangtang has taken over Princess Fuhui's heir. Her identity is a talisman. Wen Wan knows very well that she will let it go. However, I am worried that the emperor will remove Shang Tang's reputation. I wanted to ask Wen Wan for help, but this girl, It's not easy to get to the point. Forget it, it's Ping Shangtang's fault. It's also because he has run out of energy. "You can't blame others for not wanting such a good resource." I blame myself for being stupid.
Su Xian was a little confused: "Then what does father mean by inviting Wen Wan over?" Su Xian was not stupid enough to think that his father invited Wen Wan over just for the sake of Ping Shang Tang. Over the years, Su Xiangxia has posted countless messages asking for kindness.
People are like this, and they will give this face if they do it less often. The more times you do it, the more likely you will find reasons to pass it by. Therefore, Su Xian was sure that his father had other intentions.
Su Xiang nodded: "Originally, I thought about entrusting Wen Wan to take care of me when I grow old. But it seems that this matter is no longer possible. She has no love for the Su family." Su Xiang was stunned by this. It's nothing, the Su family is not kind to Wen Wan, not even helpful. Wenwan doesn't care, and can't even say a bad word.
Su Xian felt a little ashamed: "I made my father worry."
Su Xiang was tired from sitting and changed his position: "Your Majesty is here, caring about the love of the Queen Mother Shengyuan. As long as they don't get involved in those treacherous things, the Su family has no worries. But a hundred years after the emperor, there is no one in the Su family. The future of the Su family is in jeopardy, so we have to make plans. "This is what Su Xiang is most worried about. This is also the real reason why Su met Wenwan.
Su Xian thought for a while and said kindly: "Father, tell me which of the current princes and highnesses is worthy of the big responsibilities."
Su Xiang shook his head, "I don't know either. However, in the dispute between the crown prince and the crown prince, it is not easy for one person to bring disaster to the whole family. You must not have such thoughts. The Su family is in peace and order, and there will be at least decades of peace. If the prince is involved, The fight between them will be doomed. "He was also very nervous at that time, but later he got lucky. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what to do! But there was nothing he could do back then, and now it's not that time yet.
After Su Xian left, Prime Minister Su was obviously tired. After all, he is getting old and doesn't have that much energy. Well, he doesn't know how long he can protect them.
