Mother is here, and I am so happy that I am busy introducing you to her that I forget the journey. Mother, let's sit in the back hall. We have prepared hot tea and water for washing. There is a fire in the house. If you feel cold, add more fire. It is dry here, so you need to drink more water."
Wu has been much more stable recently. Seeing Yuan's calmness, she has become more cautious. It is not easy to take power away from this person. She will probably have to rely on the old lady.
Wen Jiao was looking at Wen Huan carefully, and felt that she had changed a lot in the past six months. When she was with her grandmother, she was very affectionate. When she was with her friends, she smiled very gently. She was no longer arrogant like before! In addition, she was dressed in a generous and unpretentious way.
It’s really different from back home. I feel like I can’t compare with others and I’m very angry.
So she smiled and said, "Second sister, this cloak is very beautiful. Is it a new design?"
Wen Huan was still a little girl after all, so she nodded and said, "The style just came from Princess Zhengyang's mansion."
"It's really beautiful. Hey, did you see the sable cape that big sister is wearing?"
Wen Huan's eyes narrowed, "I was only paying attention to my grandmother just now, and I didn't even look at my elder sister. I wonder what she was wearing."
"Take a closer look later! My mother said she knows, that cloak must have cost tens of thousands of taels of silver!" Wen Jiao said with great joy. "Big sister is really brave to spend money! When grandma saw it, she was stunned! Humph, such fine leather, grandma never wore it in her whole life, and she wore it with such pride!"
Wen Huan knew that Wen Jiao had bad intentions, but he couldn't help being influenced by her.
"Big sister has changed a lot. I can't stand it, but I dare not provoke her. Second sister, you have to complain to uncle! Let uncle punish her!"
"Grandma doesn't care?"
"Oh, you don't know that she has been engaged to a good man, right? My grandmother thinks highly of him!" Wen Jiao looked sour.
Wen Huan's expression couldn't hold up anymore...
Wen Jiao laughed secretly...
…
The Prince of Wu was the Prince of Yongqing, and he also went to the Prince of Wu's Palace in the capital.
The King of Wu and the Queen arrived earlier than him.
In a few days, it will be the emperor's birthday, and then after the new year, Prince Yongqing will get married.
The princess only has this one son, and she was overjoyed to see him. She was very concerned about him...
"I'll arrange for you to meet Miss He in two days. To be honest, the girl's appearance is indeed average, but other than that, there's nothing wrong with her. With your status, you should first choose a wife based on her family background and ability. As for looks! There will be all kinds of looks in the future. So, you have to be obedient and don't be disrespectful to the girl!"
"Mother, you've said it a hundred times."
"Haha... one more thing, listen carefully: the people who follow you must be the ones you trust. When you go out, bring all the guards with you. Don't run around everywhere! Especially in the market town... this is not our territory yet, be careful, mother is not kidding you!" The princess was very serious.
"Yes, mother, my son remembers it! How is the situation in the palace?" he asked softly.
"Your father said that the emperor is in good health. Everyone in the harem is very smart, and you can't tell from the surface."
"Where are my grandparents and uncles?!"
The princess was pleased that he mentioned her family so soon, "They are all very well. When you have rested, you can meet them."
"The son will pay his respects to his grandfather himself."
"good."
"Mother, I remembered something...Did you mention Miss Wen during the Tianlong Temple ceremony?"
"Ah?!" The princess was stunned for a moment before she remembered, "Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten! I wanted you to meet him at that time, but something happened later and I didn't take care of him. Why are you asking this?"
"Mother, the Wen family has come to the capital."
"oh?"
"My son saw them at the dock. There were two girls there, but I don't know which one you were referring to, mother?"
“It’s pretty good looking!”
"Haha..." They are all good. It would be even better if they can all stay!
"If that's the case, mother, can you find some time to inquire about it?"
"good."
Seeing her son leave, Princess Wu felt heavy-hearted. Yang Rushi's matter... Although her husband was not in trouble, she didn't know if he was in trouble or not!
Although he is her only son, her husband has several sons and grandchildren! She has to be careful...
…
Wen Qian was most worried about Wen Yu, so he asked...
As a result, Wen Feng sighed with infinite emotion: "Brother, you don't know! Wen Yu...almost entered the Wu Wang Mansion!"
"What?"
Wen Feng then told him about the Tianlong Temple.
"The Princess of Wu must have had intentions, otherwise, how could a princess from a family like ours come up to speak? Then the invitation from Chengyuan was sent to our house. Moreover, the Princess specially asked the female official to come and see mother and the girls! What a great honor! Mother guessed that the Princess had taken a fancy to Yu. Unfortunately, she was assassinated. The banquet was stopped and everyone was allowed to disperse. Afterwards, the King of Wu left..."
Wen Qian listened, his heart pounding.
In theory, given his qualifications and official position, he has no connection with the royal palace or the family of meritorious service.
The direct grandson of Li Ge Lao's family is the target of the Wen family's marriage. Even if they can't reach the Li family, most of the scholars in their colleagues' families, if they are also Jinshi, are probably from the gentry family.
I never thought I could marry into the Marquis's family.
What she didn't expect was that if nothing unexpected happened, she might have been able to enter the palace... She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"I think differently from you. The rules of the royal family are not something that people like us can understand. Having property, official positions, and an easy life is enough. I dare not think about more."
"Brother! People always strive for higher positions! How many people are born rich? How can we be sure that we won't be able to live in the mansions we pass by on the way?"
"Haha, I didn't expect that you have higher standards than me!"
"hey-hey."
Wen Qian said a little annoyed: "Another thing, Wen Yu, didn't you see the style today? He is surrounded by people, more impressive than Feng Ge'er, what's going on!" It seems that the few silver coins in her hand should not be enough to cause such a scene, right?
All this was spent? I felt uneasy.
Wen Feng nodded: "This girl is indeed! Brother, have you seen the fifth son of the Qi family?"
"No. I asked around a bit and found out that I haven't seen many people there. They haven't entered the government yet."
"Oh my god, you didn't see it! Let me tell you, she's even prettier than that girl Wen Yu!"
"Really?" Wen Qian was shocked.
"I lied to you that I was a puppy! So many people were stunned!"
"But... why?!" He thought that Master Qi Wu married Wen Yu because of her appearance.
"Hehe, that girl is lucky!"
“……”Wen Qian didn’t know what to think.
"That girl is indeed capable. I heard from Mrs. Wu that she gave you to her as a dowry, and sold it and passed it around, and there was nothing left. She rented a small courtyard, bought a few girls, and hired embroiderers and masters to teach them! It seems that she wants to open an embroidery shop... And Song Shang... Hey, do you know about Song Shang?"
"What is it?"
"He divorced Wei?!"
"Ah?! I don't know!"
"Hey that boy, he's really amazing, he doesn't even pee at the Wei family!"
"What are you talking about?!"
"Mother said that he is coming to the capital as well, bringing his mother with him! Also, Song Shang is very nice to Wen Yu and seems to have helped her a lot. I don't know what exactly happened!"
"Why are there so many things going on during this period?"
"Isn't it?! It's all good news! Didn't the Qi family come to visit?"
"No."
"I guess when mother and Yu girl come, they will contact each other! Oh, brother, why do I feel that our family is going to be prosperous!?"
"The position I found for you is almost there. You just have to behave yourself. It won't work if you continue to be like you were in your hometown. Be careful. If something goes wrong, no one will be able to support you!"
"I know, I know." Wen Feng agreed.
