Twenty-seven: Calculations from all sides

Wen Wan saw the indescribable depression and chagrin in Xia Yao's eyes again, and she was a little confused. she

I went to see the emperor, but I didn't mention Sicong and Cao Song in a word. No matter what, it was also the daughter of the emperor's uncle. If the emperor's uncle finds out by himself, he will naturally solve it. When she complained, she was not suspected of provoking the feelings of father and daughter. She didn't do such a thing.

Xia Yao saw Wen Wan's nirvana, and still hasn't reflected on it, and she hasn't realized what she was wrong about. Where is there still a trace of sharpness and vigilance in the palace. Xia Yao said very depressedly: "County Lord, you still realize ♀ the second incident, and your action is completely a snake to add. ”

What does Wen Wan mean by being stunned ♀ [why do you tell her to draw snakes?] said that she was reckless this time, and she admitted it. However, how can it be involved in painting snakes?

Xia Yao sighed slightly. Maybe the county lord hasn't realized this problem yet. Hold the chrysanthemum nectar in your hand to Wen Wan. Wen Wan took it, put it down and looked at her.

Xia Yao was speechless when she saw Wen Wan's puzzlement: "County Lord, when Cao Song said that you didn't like poetry that day, he immediately went to check some of your past deeds. Within half a day, I learned that you handed in a blank paper in your poetry class, and Lian Ping found out about selling supplements to make money for his family. Don't you think, these things are too coincidental. ”

Wen Wan listened, smelled a different smell, and sat upright: "Who did it?" ”

Xia Yao sat next to him: "This person is very secretive. Didn't find it. However, it is certain that this person is unwilling to let the county lord marry Cao Song. The county lord, you are a piece of fragrant bread, everyone wants to eat the next ♀ thing, even if the county lord doesn't make a move. There will also be people who help the county lord and make Cao Song disqualified. Therefore, the county lord does not need to spoil his reputation at all. ”

Wen Wan frowned; "What do you mean, the hands and feet of a few princes?" Except for the prince, Wen Wan couldn't think of anyone else. She really didn't expect that there was a mastermind behind this incident. She also thought that Cao Song was just listening to and believing, but she didn't expect Cao Song to withdraw from the emperor's uncle after investigation.

Xia Yao didn't respond, but said: "I am sure that there is more than one group of people behind the scenes. The county lord holds such a large amount of property, not only the prince will covet it, but others will also covet it. The county lord, although out of the palace. But outside, the same killing machine step by step, on the outside, there is no escape from calculation and intrigue. ”

Wen Wan picked up the tea Gu and drank it slowly. After drinking a glass of honey water, sit quietly in a chair. Lost in thought.

Since the emperor's uncle ascended the throne and became the emperor, she began to relax her previous vigilance and caution. The comfortable life is so forgetful that she forgets that she is actually in a dangerous place.

It's been a long time to indulge. It's time to rein in your mind.

Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan faintly and said, "County Lord, are you going to tell the emperor about this incident?" ”。

Wen Wan squirmed her lips and her face darkened. What could she say to the emperor's uncle? She couldn't say anything. Because of her, she has no confidence.

Xia Yao saw such gentleness, and her heart was also dark. The county lord has changed a lot, but the most important thing has not changed. Perhaps, never.

Although the emperor did not issue an edict for marriage, he specially mentioned it to Cao Yin. The meaning of the words is that after keeping filial piety, he will give marriage.

Cao Yin was originally depressed. Seeing that he married the eldest princess of the dynasty was also a great luck in misfortune. Anyway, after this incident, Cao Yin is dead and let Cao Song enter the officialdom. was treated as a monkey by others, and he didn't know that ♀ he wanted to be hired, and he had to help him pay for it if he was sold. I have to drag all the Cao family into the quagmire.

However, there are still words in the emperor's words. Cao Yin returned home sullenly. He, the head of the household, is at the end. He was still young, and he was about to be a commander. If the son is married to the gentle county lord, where is he still needed. One wrong step, one wrong step.

Mrs. Cao saw it and comforted: "Although the gentle county lord is noble, the eldest princess is the emperor's bloodline after all. No matter what, the children in the future will also have royal blood. ”

Lord Cao was depressed: "What do you know? "At this juncture, the emperor will even let Cao Songshang be the eldest princess. Most likely, it is the eldest princess herself who wants to marry. And then...... Thinking of this, Cao Yin was drenched in ♀ cold sweat and had to kill him. I thought I was married to a shrewd, capable and strong, and noble Wenwan. The Cao family can be rich for at least three generations, or even longer. Now it's all over. The son couldn't get into the office, so he married back the rude and willful princess. The Cao family, not to mention the three generations of wealth, it is difficult to continue his next generation.

Cao Song knew that he wanted Princess Shang, and was stunned. didn't dare to look for his father, for fear of provoking his father again∧ quietly looked for his mother, asking if it was true.

Mrs. Cao smiled and said, "Naturally, it's true." The emperor has already told your father in private. Song'er, this time my mother went to inquire. The eldest princess is very virtuous, and her appearance is also first-class, and ♀ there will be no last time. ”

For Princess Shang, Cao Song didn't think it was much honorable. On the contrary, he was depressed in his heart, and his career was over. Be a rich and idle person for a lifetime.

Cao Song returned to his courtyard sullenly. Danniang watched Cao Song come back nervously, and when she saw Cao Song's expression, she had already guessed in her heart, but she still didn't want to believe it, and asked carefully: "Childe, really, do you really want Princess Gongzi Shang?" ”。 When Danniang asked this, there was a slight tremor in her words. You must know that parents can't have concubines, and if you have more, you can have two maids. Whether or not she will have a child depends on the princess's measurement and trust. Although Wen Wan is the county lord, except for this incident, her reputation is still very good. But the eldest princess, the eldest princess she has never seen, but the news she heard in the past two years says that the eldest princess has a pampered ♀ temperament is the most difficult to give.

Cao Song also knew, and said heavily: "Yes, the emperor has already told my father personally." After keeping the filial piety of the emperor, they will get married. Probably at the end of next year. ”

Danniang's legs softened. Without getting definite news, she was still able to comfort herself. How to do it now, how should she be. Danniang staggered into the house, and Cao Song followed.

Cao Song took Danniang's hand and said, "Don't worry, even if you are still the princess, I won't let you suffer." The mother said, the princess is generous, gentle and virtuous. When the time comes, I will tell the princess to give you a name. ”

Danniang responded gently. But I still feel uneasy in my heart. But Danniang still chose to believe Cao Song's words.

After Sicong went back, in his palace, calmed down, and began to regret that Concubine $ came to see her, and she cried and said that she would not marry. She doesn't want to marry Cao Song. Don't marry a man who doesn't even want to be gentle. Why, the person that the imperial grandfather pointed to wanted her to top the cylinder.

Concubine Shu likes Cao Song very much. To have a character, to learn to learn, to have a look. After arguing a few times, Concubine Shu didn't handle it, so she had to comfort Cao Song and say that Cao Song was good in everything.

Sicong didn't believe it, since it was so good, why didn't Wen Wan want to be a concubine, so he had to let the second prince tell him personally. got the guarantee of his mother and brother. Although I am still very aggrieved in my heart, I am not so repulsed. If it is really as his mother and brother said, even if he looks for it again in the future, it will be nothing more than that.

Sicong didn't know. Secretly, after the news spread that she had come to meet Shang Cao Song as a colt. Everyone thought that Sicong himself had taken a fancy to Wen Wan, so he used a strategy to slander Wen Wan's reputation. broke up Wen Wan and Cao Song≡ and made Cao Song a colt.

In the Zhenguo Mansion, Mei'er took his little tiger to play under the plane tree. Because it is a family of military generals, what I want is that the child often beats the tiger and plays happily on the ground, throws the ball with Wen Wan, grabs it, accidentally falls on the road, and gets up by itself. Go on, and do not cry, but fall. Mei'er watched from the front and smiled comfortably.

Luo Shouxun walked in, watching the mother and son playing, and after a burst of warmth in his heart, Ping'er brought him tea: "Madam, is the spring day Youhuai made by the gentle county lord?" ”

Mei'er said funny: "Naturally. Do you think the rumors out there are true? ”

Luo Shouxun was embarrassed: "You also said that she doesn't like poetry?" Food-loving? It is also said that there are noses and eyes on the outside. Cao Song also said that the gentle county lord personally admitted that he didn't like poetry. And the female gentleman who taught me before also said that the poems that came out of the gentle and dislike poetry were unsightly. ”

"I said she doesn't like poetry, she likes food," she said categorically. doesn't mean that her poetry is not good. Let me tell you, Wen Wanshu reads well, does poetry well, paints very well, and is very good at chess; The calligraphy is even better, and I can't compare to one of the three. But she really doesn't show off, she just says that this is all something to cultivate sentiment. Never say it to the public. ”

Luo Shouxun glared at Mei'er and said, "Then why do you say that the county lord of Wen Wan handed over the white scroll?" ”

Mei'er said very innocently: "Wen Wan hands in a blank paper every time, this is a fact, but I am not making it up." Moreover, Wen Wan really doesn't like to do poetry. But as long as she makes up her mind to write, every one is a masterpiece. I'm out of reach. ”

Luo Shouxun's heart suddenly, where did Cao Song get the news: "Since you know, why didn't you make it clear last time?" ”

Mei'er laughed: "What did you say, he asked so, and I naturally said so." ”

Luo Shouxun's eyes rolled: "Is it that the gentle county lord is unwilling to marry Cao Song." As soon as you hear it, you can hear the subtle meaning of the gentle county lord. In the past, I asked you more about the gentle county lord, but you didn't say a word. But that day said so much? Did you deliberately fall Cao Song by mistake? ”

Mei'er rolled her eyes: "Wen Wan is still a girl in the boudoir now." You always ask her, what do I say? As for the mistake, I didn't make a mistake. Cao Song himself was unwilling, and he was not gentle and asked for his own resignation. Others say that the wind is the rain, and he believes it, who is to blame. ”

Luo Shouxun was depressed at this time, "I can't figure it out." What's wrong with Cao Song. There are many women in the capital who want to marry him, you see, there is a gentle one, but there is a princess with a more noble status. Why didn't she marry Cao Song. ”

Mei'er looked at Xianggong with great interest, and sighed slightly in her heart, "What's so good about Cao Song?" In addition to being able to write two poems and draw a good picture, what does he have? Some of his gentleness is more powerful than hers? Why did you fall in love with him? ”

Luo Shouxun still couldn't understand, "She dislikes such a good Cao Song, and there is no such store in this village." Lord Wen Wan, you will definitely regret it. ”

Mei'er answered without thinking, "The one who will regret it in the future must be Cao Song, not gentle." Occasionally, Luo Shouxun would talk to her about things outside, and he would say how Fuxi was at that time. How Cao Song admired, admired, regretted, regretted, regretted. You must know that Wen Wan is Fuxi, how can she regret it

After Luo Shouxun finished drinking tea, he was still squatting in the Wutong Courtyard. It wasn't until the evening, and it hadn't left. Mer knew he must be on the wrong side of the matter, so she didn't ask. If you ask him, he will ask himself. Luo Shouxun was very depressed, how good this daughter-in-law is, it's just colder. I didn't care much about him - he was very depressed. But people are like this, the more they can't get it, the more they put into it.

Luo Shouxun hugged Mei'er, and the two rolled the sheets twice. Come back, Mei'er can't stand it and doesn't want to. However, there was no room in her yard, which was always influenced by Wen Wan. But he didn't want to let Luo Shouxun think that Mei'er had him in her heart after all, but she was thin and difficult to say (a beautiful misunderstanding). Otherwise, how can Luo Shouxun's machismo stand it.

Luo Shouxun hugged Mei'er to speak. Mei'er knew that there was something to say: "Mei'er, do you think there is a way to get on the line with the county lord Wen Wan and do business with him?" ”

Mei'er cheered up: "I asked, but Wen Wan didn't answer." Although Wen Wan and I are like sisters, we will help if we have something. But since Wen Wan didn't answer, she said she couldn't. ”

Luo Shouxun knew that his wife's affection for Wen Wan was not trivial: "You try again." Dad said that the emperor has been too quiet recently, and he is afraid that the emperor will settle the accounts, and the family will not be so relaxed. If you can do business with the county lord, you can go in your name. When the time comes, it won't slip either. ”

Mei'er didn't, no matter how she settled the account, she didn't participate in the rebellion anyway. No net worth is in danger: "It's not that I don't want to contribute to my family. I know more about gentleness than you. If she could, she would have let me get a piece of the pie. ”

Luo Shouxun said sullenly: "You don't know yet, the county lord of Wen Wan has reorganized three boats and used Jiang Lin as a steward. I ran away and turned down a million taels of silver. Many people's eyes were red, but because of the previous incident in the restaurant, no one dared to move this idea. If you can, if you don't enter more, you will also become a twenty percent of the shares thrown out by the Zhuang Zhuang after entering three or four shares, but unfortunately all of them are for the clan, and we have no share. At that time, the news was slow, otherwise, it would have been necessary to score two points. ”

Mei'er listened to it rarely: "The business of running to the sea, the profit is so high?" Haven't you heard Wen Wan mention it? even used Jiang Lin, Wen Wan was not afraid that he would run away with the boat? The Jiang family is downcast because of attention. ”

Luo Shouxun smiled: "Jiang Lin's wife and children are all in the capital, where can he go." The county lord was willing to give him this opportunity, but it was too late for him to catch up. It's just that the three big boats, this is a good run, and the annual profit is tens of millions. That's all silver."

Mei'er answered: "It's hundreds of millions of silver, don't worry about it." Gentle and low-key. It's impossible not to know that with such a large amount of business, there are not a few more people together. But she was stunned to do it alone. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has done so many profitable businesses at once. You don't want to think about why the emperor didn't save face for the queen and the crown prince last time. ”

Luo Shouxun's brows shook: "You mean, ...... behind the gentlemen county lord?"

Mei'er turned her head: "I didn't say anything. Sleep, it's late. ”

Luo Shouxun touched Mei'er's shirt with both hands: "Daughter-in-law, give me another son." In the future, we will be in-laws with the gentle county lord. ”

Bai Shinian, who was far away at the border, also knew about the turmoil in the capital. Of course, his news will be some time later. Although he told himself that Wen Wan was not Qing'er. However, he still wanted to know everything about Wen Wan in the capital. The steward understood what he meant. So in the letter sent, everything in the capital is in it. Gentle events are also included.

Bai Shinian looked at the letter, saw that Wen Wan was disgusted by Cao Song, and said that her poems were all ghostwritten, and shook his head. How could such an arrogant woman do such a thing (people's eyes can also deceive, and Wen Wan does copy other people's). Cao Song, I really have no eyes and no light to read it in the dog's belly. But it didn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

Ye Xun walked in. Seeing Bai Shinian's thoughtful Nirvana, he screamed. called Bai Shinian, who was in contemplation, back to his soul.

Ye Xun looked at Bai Shinian, his face was very heavy: "Something is wrong, at this time of the year, the Manchus have never sent so many people to plunder. I always feel that things are not going to be good. ”

Bai Shinian sighed slightly: "There is a drought in the imperial court this year, and the amount of grain allocated is less than last year. Moreover, I don't know what the market will be next year. Marshal, seal all the grain. "He knew that the border pass secretly sold grain to the Manchus. He was angry, but he didn't do it, although it was to drink doves to quench his thirst, but it was the most critical way to maintain normalcy for so many years.

Qi Quan's style this time made him impressed. Extremely aware of the need to be prepared for distant dangers. Although the Manchus had fought, they were more tyrannical than ever. However, Qi Quan did not back down at all. Bai Shinian knew that he still had a lot to learn.

However, the most urgent task now is to defend against a strong enemy. cough, Bai Shinian could only sigh. He now knows why he loses every battle. The chances of winning are pitiful, and the chances of losing are too great. On the side of Daqi, it completely depends on the advantage of numbers. Sooner rather than later, change this terrible situation.

Just thinking about it, I received an urgent military report that there was another enemy attack.

Bai Shinian, who returned again, had a heavy face. Ye Xun suddenly asked: "Your tiger mighty army is powerful in the world." If so, how sure do you feel? ”

Bai Shinian thought for a while: "Compared with the current situation, it is at least three times stronger." It's a pity that the emperor shouldn't have sent Huwei troops here. ”

Ye Xun was thoughtful. After a long time, he said: "You wrote this situation into a secret fold." Present it to the Emperor. The emperor should think about it. ”

Bai Shinian looked surprised, and nodded after turning several corners in his heart. At that moment, it was urgent for 800 miles to send the secret fold to the capital.

Author's words: Recently, I saw a lot of scolding from everyone, and I couldn't help but say a few words.

In this incident, Wen Wan didn't want the Cao family to be wiped out because ♀ she and Cao Song knew each other and had made friends. Cao Song's talent has been praised by Song Luoyang, and Wen Wan has always been sure and never denied it. As for character, Wen Wan agreed that Yan Qixuan would have more dealings with him, and his character was naturally not bad.

Of course, Wen Wan's handling of this matter is really not good. But it wouldn't have been so bad if no one had been behind it. According to Wen Wan's thoughts, after retiring from the family, the rumors dispersed, and they each got married, and it was over. It's just that there are so many people behind the scenes, and Wen Wan takes a small wrong step, which is a big wrong step.

To prepare, this is a big heel planted by Wen Wan herself after letting down her vigilance, thinking that everything is going well.
