Fifty-eight: Wedding Gifts (4th & 5th Watches)

Bai Shinian said worriedly: "I also know that you are as close to the emperor as father and daughter. However, I heard that the dowry of the eldest princess did not exceed 100,000 taels, and the second princess's did not exceed 100,000 taels. Although you and the emperor are like father and daughter, you can't be so favoritive. The emperor is too kind to you, and it is a curse not a blessing. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it. ”

Although Wen Wan also had a fear of guarding against the emperor in her heart, it was not about the dowry∧ it was the point that Bai Shinian's words were funny ♀. actually pulled the soft rice first" That dowry, compared to the money I earned, is a drop in the bucket. And, none of this is yours. I'll take care of it. You do your part. I won't say how much help it will give you, but it won't cause you trouble, and you can rest assured that it will hold you back ♀. ”

Bai Shinian asked thoughtfully, "You mean, all the money you have earned over the years has been given to the emperor." Yourself, you didn't leave a little. Although Wen Wan said before that she didn't have much money. But hearing about it is a completely different feeling than confirming it.

Wen Wan said indifferently, "If it weren't for the emperor's uncle's inner treasury, I would be so tired and tired of making money." My annual expenses are only three or four thousand taels of silver, and I can't spend mountains of gold and silver! However, the emperor's uncle is quite short of money, so he is tired. Speaking of this, Wen Wan said with a smile: "It is rumored that I am rich and rival the country, but there is really none. My property is registered in the mansion. Those industries are not mine. It's just a false name. So, I'll have to rely on you to support my family in the future! ”

Bai Shinian was happy when he heard this: "Wait for two days, and I will ask my sister-in-law to hand over the property to you." Those industries are enough for us to have food and clothing without worry. He naturally knew that Wen Wan was joking. Even if these industries are not gentle. A lifetime of glory and wealth is indispensable. Where he is needed. However, Wen Wan can say this, which also proves that °C is developing in a better direction.

Since Wen Wan is the hostess of the General's Mansion. It was only natural to take over the affairs of the mansion. It's strange if you don't take it. Wen Wan remembered what Bai Shinian said that day, and she didn't care about Bai Shinian's ♀ face that day, and she didn't want him to lose face anymore. So he smiled and said, "Okay, you tell them." Let them give me the account. ”

Bai Shinian sighed. Then he talked about going to the military department to ask for weapons. Thinking of this, Bai Shinian was awe-inspiring. He suddenly had an idea ÷ weapon, whether it would be gentle or not. Bai Shinian asked cautiously: "Do you know the new weapons researched by the Ministry of War?" ”

Wen Wan glanced at Bai Shinian in surprise. There was silence for a moment. No third person knows about these things except the emperor. Wen Wan lowered her head and thought for a moment: "I know about weapons∏ I propose that the emperor's uncle gather the world's skilled craftsmen to develop a new weapon that can restrain the lover." But that's about it. I didn't participate in the follow-up. I don't know."

Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan, and his brain crashed. If so, there is nothing that Wen Wan has not done. Wen Wan really just made money, and did not participate in other government affairs. Impossible, think about the previous crop promotion, disaster relief events. Bai Shinian didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Daughter-in-law, do you often give advice to the emperor on weekdays?" ”

Wen Wanhu looked at Bai Shinian suspiciously: "Where did you hear about it?" What did Ye Xun say? ”

Bai Shinian immediately shook his head: "I guessed it myself." Daughter-in-law. You, in fact, have participated in politics? "If so. He can also understand why those big men in the military department dare not slack off him. Otherwise, even if Wen Wangui was the noble county lord ♀, some people would not pay too much attention to him. But Bai Shinian thought of Ye Xun's warning, and suddenly beat a drum in his heart: "Will there be anything wrong with the daughter-in-law ♀?" "Harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and every woman who does politics will not end well.

Wen Wan guessed what Bai Shinian thought, and said with a smile: "Since I am honored as the lord of Xingguo and participate in political affairs, others have nothing to say. The emperor's uncle respected me as the lord of Xingguo in order to prevent being said. Otherwise, why bother. Wen Wan saw that Bai Shinian's face was becoming more and more solemn, and she held Bai Shinian's hand and smiled: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." I only told the emperor's uncle about these suggestions. At best, others are guessing and don't know what I'm suggesting. And I've always been just dictating these suggestions. "Gentle, she is only equivalent to a staff member. If you don't come forward directly, you won't be fine.

Bai Shinian's face was a little complicated. He didn't know what he should say, as if he had lifted a veil of gentleness, thinking that he had seen the true face, but he didn't expect that there was still a veil underneath. Now Daqi can have today's grand occasion, and gentleness is a great contribution. Is God too loving to him, or is he too cruel to him? To such an all-round wife, he is under a lot of pressure (Bai Shinian has low self-esteem). After a long time, Bai Shinian hesitated: "Your Majesty, why do you want you to participate in political affairs?" In this regard, Bai Shinian really can't understand that doing business allows Wen Wan to make money, he thinks it's normal. Because Wen Wan has shown the means of accumulating wealth since she was a child. But let Wen Wan intervene in political affairs, he really can't understand. Even if Wen Wan is the son of Fuxi, the young man is talented. But how could the emperor let Wen Wan participate in politics without taboo at all.

Speaking of this, Wen Wan couldn't understand it. It's just that what Wen Wan can't understand is the emperor's grandfather: "It's not the emperor's uncle, it's the emperor's grandfather." "If Wen Wan hadn't been trained by the emperor's pervert and killed her, she wouldn't have participated in politics. However, everything could not be restrained from developing towards the emperor's grandfather's design. It is estimated that the emperor's grandfather, who has a keen sense of smell and is like an old fox, smelled many of her ideas and benefited the country. can be overwhelmed by her temperament back then. That's why I'm very patient with her. Ahem, thinking of those past events, it's unbearable to look back. In this way, she was successfully trained by the emperor's grandfather.

Bai Shinian was even more puzzled: "Why did the emperor do this? ”

Wen Wan stood up and shook her hand, and the pressure hurt a little: "You ask me, how do I know." I'm not a roundworm in the stomach of the emperor's grandfather. His old man is a god, and my little skill is not enough to stuff his teeth. ”

Speaking of the former emperor, Bai Shinian is very respectful. If it weren't for the first emperor to turn the tide, the world might have been torn apart long ago. Where is there today's peaceful and prosperous world. Thinking that the emperor even rewarded Wen Wan with the mirror garden. Forcing the former emperor's favor to gentleness, it seems that this favor of the saint today is not in his eyes: "Did the emperor teach you as a man?" ”

Wen Wan thought about the events of the year, and had to sigh: "I don't know." But I was really useless at the time. The palace maid who was killed was covered in blood. I was so frightened that I fell asleep for three days and three nights, and I had a high fever. After that, it's also a nightmare. The emperor's grandfather taught me this, probably so that I could better protect myself! Wei sighed: "Actually, I owe my grandmother's blessing." The emperor's grandfather in the last two years. I always miss my grandmother. I was loved by him. ”

Bai Shinian was surprised. The first emperor didn't like it the most, it was Empress Qi. For this reason, the original match was not made a queen. How......

Wen Wanle said happily: "What you see, what you hear." It doesn't have to be true. My grandfather loved my grandmother very much. In fact, compared to the emperor's grandfather, the emperor's uncle loves me more than the emperor's uncle. After speaking, he lowered his voice and said like a thief: "The emperor's grandfather gave me a lot of treasures as a dowry. Those are not on the dowry list. Therefore, the emperor's uncle gave the quantity. The emperor's grandfather gave quality. "If the emperor hears this. Vomit blood. But Wen Wan is also telling the truth. In the last half of the year, the emperor privately rewarded Wen Wan with many treasures. Basically, Wen Wan took a fancy to Wen Wan back then, except for some things that could not be rewarded, and they all gave Wen Wan a dowry, saying that it was a dowry for her.

Bai Shinian didn't care much about treasures or anything. Looking at Wen Wan's dowry of more than 600 years, Wen Wan casually took out all kinds of strange things, all of which were high-quality products, and if he wanted to make a fuss, it would seem that he was very childish. But Bai Shinian couldn't help but sincerely praise the first emperor for honing gentleness, and the emperor was ≤ benefited by training gentleness, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were gathered in the world, and thousands of dawn people in the world.

Wen Wan admired Bai Shinian: "Although I occasionally give opinions. If it weren't for the emperor's uncle's wisdom and martial arts, he would have rectified the internal affairs. The imperial court will not get better so quickly. If you hadn't driven the pirates out, I wouldn't have made that much money. Ocean trade is the beginning. Moreover, you don't really think that the crooked melons and two dates I earned can be of such great use. Even without my help, Uncle Emperor would have been able to do as well as he is now. "Wen Wan is not so arrogant that without her, there would be no today. Without her, the emperor would have governed the court just as well. She is its auxiliary role. The emperor's uncle's wise decision-making and diligent labor are fundamental.

Bai Shinian admitted that the emperor had the talent to govern the country and was a wise monarch. But Wen Wan's help to the emperor is absolutely immeasurable: "I don't deny that the emperor is a Ming monarch." But without you, a daughter-in-law, the emperor would not have been able to complete the internal affairs so easily. Not to mention the clarity of housekeeping today. Without a daughter-in-law, it would take at least ten years, and it would not be as comfortable as it is now. ”

Wen Wan smiled: "I saved very little time for the emperor's uncle to make his life better." I have also received the highest honor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am above ten thousand people under one man. Conggong said that I and the emperor's uncle are mutually beneficial. Personally, the emperor's uncle is my only relative, and I can't see him so tired. And, it's good now. Although there is still a war at the border passes, the inland is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. When you come back from the battle later, it will be completely fine. Wen Wan paused when she said this, and praised Bai Shinian with a smile: "Speaking of which, the court now has a present." You also take a lot of credit. If you didn't take the soldiers to clear the Japanese and Haikou without it, it would be difficult to open the sea ban. Jiangnan and the coast are not as prosperous as they are today. Without you, these would be bloodied sacrifices. Where did the peaceful world come from. If you want to say the greatest, you should be right. Wen Wan said this very skillfully. She said you, not you ♀, but to mean that you are gentle and respectful to all those who serve as soldiers, including Bai Shinian.

Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan, his eyes were shining and shining, igniting countless eliminations: "Daughter-in-law, as long as the imperial court can provide strong backup, we will make more new weapons." Maybe I won't be able to end the campaign in less than ten years, and I'll be able to come back early. ”

Wen Wan's eyes flashed: "Really? ”

Bai Shinian nodded affirmatively: "It's true, and I will never break my word." ”

Wen Wan didn't give a guarantee: "Normal military rations and weapons, I can assure you that there will definitely be no less of you." But when it comes to new weapons, this is a connoisseur's business, and I don't give bears any guarantees, after all, I am a layman about this. However, I will do my best to push them. "You don't have to wait ten years, even if you wait two or three years less, it's good! If that's the case, she can help. Thinking of this, Wen Wan suppressed this heat. She didn't know anything about weapons and equipment, and only provided silver money supports. Let professionals develop research, how much time, she didn't dare to pack a ticket.

Bai Shinian heard that Wen Wan could guarantee the supply of those normal military rations and weapons, and he also thought that it was enough. He also knows a lot about the internal affairs of the border gates. Although in the past two years, because of the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, coupled with gentleness, he will collect money. Is there no more shortage of their salaries? But for these big men in the capital, you still need to go up and down, otherwise you will be delayed. The reasons are all legitimate, so that you can't find evidence, and you can't grasp the handle.

Why did Qi Quan only defend but not attack later. That's because years of subservience to reality have worn out his sharpness ♀ and inner pressure. Let him just want to keep it. No more aggressiveness. Of course, it is also a reason to be safe when you are older. If he is on the throne, there will be Wen Wan in the capital, and these people will not have the courage to deduct military rations or anything. He didn't need to worry about the internal affairs of the border gates at all, and saved this energy to deal with the Manchus. Bai Shinian thinks it's beautiful. If this is the case, he can really come back early and hold his wife and children on the hot kang.

Although Wen Wan is happy, Bai Shinian may come back early. But this is like a painted cake, which can only be seen but not eaten. Wen Wan didn't want to discuss more÷ she really had expectations and then fell short, so it was better to have no expectations at the beginning.

Wen Wan searched out the embroidery from the corner of the bed and showed it to Bai Shinian: "What do you look at this?" ”

Bai Shinian looked left and right: "What is a daughter-in-law ♀?" Mandarin duck? ”

Wen Wan didn't seem to hear the uncertainty of Bai Shinian's words. "Husband, you are so amazing." "Asked three people. Xia Yao said that the four are not like it, and the others will not repeat it if they are gentle. I didn't expect Bai Shinian to see at a glance that the embroidery was a mandarin duck °C, a man with eyesight! said gently that she was really very discerning.

Bai Shinian saw that Wen Wan was so happy that he couldn't find the north, in fact, he was very embarrassed, just now he saw Wen Wan deliberately showing off, and turned his eyes to see that the pillow was embroidered with mandarin ducks, and said casually. I didn't expect that it was really a mandarin duck ♀ and a mandarin duck, just a bunch of messy lines. But in order not to provoke Wen Wan and depressed, I stopped the topic.

Wen Wan didn't seem to have any self-knowledge, and was still full of interest: "Bai Shinian, this is the mandarin duck pillow I originally made." It's a pity that the craftsmanship is too poor. You said it's good to be a purse. ”

Bai Shinian burst out laughing: "As long as your daughter-in-law dares me to hang up, I will hang it." When the time comes, people ask me who embroidered it. I'll tell you the truth. ”

Wen Wan knocked Bai Shinian down: "Villain, sincerity makes me faceless." Wen Wan beat Bai Shinian fiercely. Of course, it's just a gentle thrashing. The husband and wife are just playing.

Bai Shinian waited for Wen Wan to scream that his hands hurt, and with a wave of his long arm, he rolled the person in his arms: "Don't embroider in the future, look at the handles with so many holes." I'm so distressed! ”

Wen Wan said in a low voice: "Bai Shinian, I actually want to make you a dress, which should be a wedding gift." However, it can't always be done. As a result, embroidering a pillow is not good, and "a purse is not well embroidered." I'm really not a good wife. In his words, there was a faint sense of loss.

Bai Shinian smiled and comforted: "It's okay." There is not a sewing room at home. Just let the embroidery girls do it. Where is it for you to suffer this! "It's a waste to let Wen Wan embroider. With this time, let Wen Wan come up with better ideas, and the money she earns can buy as many embroideries as she can't buy. Of course, Bai Shinian just thought about it in his heart. I didn't really say it.

Wen Wan really didn't mind seeing Bai Shinian. Hehe smiled, she was used to throw bricks and lead jade (it was not made for Bai Shinian). Just this messy line, Bai Shinian dared to take it out, and she didn't dare to take it out for him. Wen Wan put down the messy line in her hand, and then ran to open a large box with red lacquer depicting red lacquer phoenix. Take out a set of bright white clothes from inside. Wen Wan blushed and said, "Xia Yao said that when she is newly married, her wife must make clothes and shoes for her husband. Clothes and shoes are fine. If you dare to wear it out, I don't dare to lose this face ♀, I made it myself, and I wear it when I go to bed at night. "Wen Wan's doing this is a set of obscene clothes. She can't do anything else into clothes, shoes, purses, or whatever. But it is still possible to do dirty clothes and pants. Anyway, the husband and wife can see it, and the others can't see it.

Bai Shinian was pleasantly surprised to take Wen Wanlai, the threads were twisted and crooked, and the first stitch and the last stitch were also long and short. Very ugly. But Bai Shinian took off his dirty clothes and pants and put them on immediately.

After wearing it, Wen Wan's face will be really red (Xia Yao complained: I told you that the two sleeves are asymmetrical. If you don't listen to the advice ♀, you will pretend to blush): "It seems that the sleeve on the left is a little shorter than the one on the right." After Wen Wan sewed the above out, Xia Yao said that the two sleeves were a little asymmetrical. She was absolutely good at watching it at the time!

Xia Yao was speechless about how she felt good about herself. It is recommended that someone help do it, and when the time comes, she will be able to do it appropriately. Wen Wan didn't agree. To do it too well, it can be seen at a glance that it is the hand of someone else. That would not have the desired effect. And she wants good things, she can't ♀ find a set of good things, although the clothes are ugly, but she makes them herself, and the meaning is different. But now it's more obvious on the body.

Sure enough, Bai Shinian kissed Wen Wan very happily: "No, it's very good-looking." ”

Wen Wan humbly accepted this unworthy compliment. Then he pestered Bai Shinian and said: "My gift has been delivered, what about your gift?" ”

Bai Shinian said happily: "I have been prepared for a long time. However, due to some accidents, I can't take it for the time being. But don't worry, daughter-in-law, I'll show you when it's ready. Guaranteed you like it. ”

Wen Wan was surprised by Bai Shinian's confidence: "Are you sure that I will like the gift you gave?" "If you want to say that there is anything in this world that you can really like. Wen Wan asked herself if it was not. Yes are also children. Other than that, Wen Wanzhen didn't expect that there was anything she would definitely like. Antique calligraphy and painting are valuable but dispensable. Others, well, Wen Wan couldn't figure out what it was that made Bai Shinian dare to be so convinced.

Wen Wan rolled her eyebrows: "If I don't like it, then what should I do?" ”

Bai Shinian said without hesitation: "If you don't like it, you can do whatever you want." ”

Wen Wan was even more suspicious, and joked: "If that's the case, then I'll let you kneel on the washboard." Do you kneel or not? ”

Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan with a smile: "If you like it, then can I make any requests?" ”

Wen Wan nodded without hesitation: "As long as I can do it." I can meet your hunger request," If she can really deliver something that she really likes, Wen Wan can really agree to Bai Shinian's request.

After dinner in the evening, the husband and wife walked in the yard. Talked about being in the barracks. Wen Wan asked that the big house was so difficult now, and she should also help out. Bai Shinian chatted with Wen Wan in the past two days, talked about his deceased mother a few times, and inadvertently mentioned Bai Shihua a few times. Although they are all dissatisfied with Bai Shinian's absurdity earlier, they are also gratified that Bai Shihua has grown a lot better than before after becoming a family.

It can be seen that Bai Shinian may have no intention of others. But for the big house, for this eldest brother, he still has a lot of feelings.

Bai Shinian sighed slightly. Shaking his head, he said that a few days ago, Bai Shihua wanted Ming Yu to go to the border with him. I want to earn some fame.

Mingxi, is the eldest son of Qinghe, "Heyi gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Mingxi, the second son Mingguang, and the third son Minghuai. Didn't give birth to a daughter.

Wen Wan saw the helplessness in Bai Shinian's eyes: "What's wrong?" Isn't it okay to be clear? After thinking about it, his eyes widened: "It's clear that you don't understand martial arts." ”

Bai Shinian smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about this." "He has a headache when he talks about it.

Seeing that he didn't want to speak, Wen Wan changed the topic with a smile: "Speaking of martial arts, I remembered that you were really brave in the school field that day. Horseback riding, archery, martial arts, all so powerful. I'm ashamed of myself. ”

Bai Shinian looked in one direction: "I don't dare to be interested in the Four Books and Five Classics." So my father hired someone to teach me martial arts. Back then, I was bored in the temple, and there was no one to play with, and I had nothing else to do ♀ for more than 20 years except practice, and I never slackened. ”

Wen Wan hugged Bai Shinian, and her voice was so gentle that it could drip water: "In the future, I will accompany you." I'll be with you for the rest of my life. Won't leave you alone again. "It's a terrible feeling to be alone. Wen Wan has a personal experience. It's just that Bai Shinian is stronger than her. It can be buried deep in the heart and is not affected.

Bai Shinian smiled comfortably: "Okay." ”

PS: (*^__^*Hehe...... guess what gift Bai Shinian will give, dare to boast about Haikou, and guarantee that Wen Wan absolutely likes it. (To be continued.) , () Vote for recommendation, monthly pass,,。
