Chapter 130 It’s settled
"The Xiongnu have been causing unrest recently. They even made trouble on the border last winter, but it wasn't too serious, so the matter was suppressed. But next year, I'm afraid..." the emperor said worriedly.
You know, once a war breaks out, money will flow like water.
How to save money is like water flowing.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Your private treasury is well stocked. At worst, you can just use your private treasury." Wen Li really didn't give him any face.
"Besides, we finally have a few days of quiet time. Can't you let me enjoy myself for a few more days?" Wen Li said unhappily.
"You are still free, and I want to be free too. Otherwise, I will pass the position to you, so that you can be even freer." The emperor said angrily.
"Don't, you're still in good health." Even though Xiaotong said that he was not in good health, but looking at him like this, he would have no problem holding on for another few decades.
Hearing what he said, Xia Yutong pulled his clothes, because the emperor's pulse was really not good, and even she couldn't find out the reason.
Wen Li also knew that he had said the wrong thing and immediately changed the subject.
"Don't worry about the Huns' affairs. I will give you the silver when the time comes." This was all he could do.
The emperor sighed and said, "You, why can't you do better?" If he performed well, wouldn't he be able to...
Unfortunately, this son is not very ambitious.
Then, a shocking quarrel broke out in the imperial study again.
Now the people guarding outside are satisfied.
After leaving the palace, Wen Li leaned on Xia Yutong.
"Xiaotong, do you think I should really fight for it now?" He didn't want to, he just wanted to live an ordinary life with her.
I might have had some thoughts in the past, but since I reconciled with him, my desire to fight has faded.
"It's not a matter of fighting or not. You won't be able to escape that position in the future." She rolled her eyes at him.
"Just wait patiently for your father's arrangements. He may have some selfish motives, but he won't harm you." After two months of getting along with him, she finally understood this.
"Oh." Wen Li sighed.
Life was better in the past. People had something to strive for, unlike now where you can just win without doing anything.
After returning home, Wen Li became that clingy person again.
He follows his little princess everywhere.
Xia Yutong was so angry that she drove him directly to the study in the front yard.
He also threatened that if he did it during the day, he would not be allowed to come back to the backyard at night.
Wen Li had no choice but to stay in the study.
The freshman and sophomore students following him were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
However, as soon as he arrived at the study, he saw Wei Gaohuan waiting there.
He glanced at the two people beside him, and when he saw them nod, he knew what was going on.
After entering the study, Wen Li asked, "What brings you here today?"
Ever since Wei Gao Huan followed him, he asked Wei Gao Huan to contract a piece of forest outside the imperial city.
Specially used to produce paper for the secret recipe that Xiaotong gave herself.
There is also the art of printing.
Wei Gaohuan saw that his master was in a bad mood, but he didn't care too much. He was used to it.
"Master, look, what good things I brought you." Although Wei Gaohuan is older than Wen Li, he lives like a child now.
The whole person has changed.
Wen Li saw him handing her a book.
Then he took it, opened it and smiled.
"Haha, okay, okay, okay." The old man wanted money, and now the money was delivered to his door.
"How is the technology? Is it mature?" When talking about business, Wen Li seemed like a different person.
The resentful look from before had long since disappeared.
"It's very mature. Master, look, these papers are the ones we have developed now. They are white papers, which are hundreds of times better than the yellow paper that my Wei family used to make. They don't smudge with ink." Wei Gaohuan was very excited when he talked about this.
Wen Li looked at it carefully again, and sure enough, every stroke was very clear.
"Okay, okay, okay." Wen Li closed the book happily. "Is it possible to mass-produce it now?" Wen Li asked again.
Wei Gaohuan nodded and said, "Of course, you know, we have two hundred people under us." Ever since he persuaded his father, the head of the Wei family has gradually reduced the paper business.
It gave others a chance.
However, he saw through it but did not say it out loud.
Whoever wants to do it can do it, he has no objection. Everyone says that the Wei family is in trouble and may disappear from the list of the five major families soon, but the head of the Wei family is not in a hurry at all.
Read a book or play chess at home every day, and don’t be too comfortable.
Not long ago, he married a concubine, and his life was no worse than that of the emperor.
Not to mention Grandpa Wei, he directly participated in the paper mill run by Wen Li and lived a fulfilling life every day.
But it's more comfortable than being the old man of the Wei family.
All the loyal scholars and literati under the Wei family have revealed their true intentions and they know how to act.
Those who are looking for an advantage will all be kept in the dark. If they don't like the Wei family, they can find another job.
The Wei family would never force him to stay.
Wei Gaohuan brought such good news, of course he had to check it out.
He asked Dayi to ask the princess if she would like to go out for a walk.
Xia Yutong doesn't want to go out.
So Wen Li and Wei Gaohuan left the eldest prince's mansion.
After learning that they had left the house, Xia Yutong chuckled and said, "As expected, knowledge changes destiny."
After saying that, she started to get back to the work at hand.
…
After the eldest princess made up her mind, she went straight into the palace, asked for an audience with the emperor, asked for the imperial edict, and left the palace satisfied.
The next day, when people learned that Princess Shanning had granted the marriage, many were shocked.
Everyone went to inquire about Jiang Ce's news.
When the second prince got the news, he was furious.
"My dear aunt, are you going to take sides?" After learning about the relationship between Jiang Ce and the Xia family, the Second Prince was so angry that he threw everything on the table in front of him.
"Hmph, I don't believe it. What good can a mere bastard do?" Slowly, the second prince calmed down.
"Someone come."
Soon two people walked in from outside.
"Meet the Second Prince."
"Go to Nancheng and inquire about the Jiang family. Also, check out the Xia family in Nancheng for me." Humph.
"Yes, sir."
No one knew what the Second Prince was doing, but even if they knew, what difference would it make?
The biggest event in May may be Shanning's granted marriage.
As soon as May ended and in June, a letter arrived from the Jiang Mansion.
After Jiang Ce received the letter, he laughed out of anger.
Seeing him like this, Xia Zixuan asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"My good father and good stepmother asked me to go home, saying that the marriage with Shan Ning should be held at home." Jiang Ce laughed angrily.
If he didn't know the identity assigned to him by the eldest princess, he would have really listened to them.
Indeed, Shan Ning was indeed wronged by following him.
He couldn't earn her a good reputation in the court, but he didn't intend to let her down in life.
Even though he is not as good as the eldest princess now, he believes that he will definitely surpass the eldest princess's mansion in the future.
