Chapter 270: Redemption
Wen Feng and Liu Yan were talking here, the atmosphere had been very harmonious, and after dinner, Liu Yan told Wen Feng to rest, and then went to Aunt Li's yard. According to the rules, those who are pregnant cannot stay overnight. In the past, Wen Feng would be angry when she saw Liu Yan go to other aunts' yards, but this time, although Wen Feng was also sour, she didn't lose her temper.
In the next few days, Wen Feng couldn't care about her bulky body, cheered up, and tried her best to deal with the affairs inside and outside the house, she had secretly determined that she must put away those distractions, take care of Liu Yan's career, housework, and work hard for the ultimate goal.
Here, Hongxing has already handed over one million taels of silver to Aunt Wang. After the settlement was clear, Hongxing also deliberately stayed to drink a cup of tea. During the tea drink, Hong Xing hinted to Wang Yaozhen that it was best to know her identity and dedicate the silver to the princess as soon as possible, this is the duty of a concubine. Yaozhen pretended not to understand, and played Tai Chi with Hongxing for a long time.
When Hongxing left in a huff, Yaozhen's maid asked cautiously: "Auntie, if you offend Sister Hongxing so much, you will suffer in the future, and Sister Hongxing said the same, should we give this silver to the princess to please the princess?" You must know that Aunt Li is very popular with the princess. ”
Yaozhen sneered: "Pleasing the princess? Shall we use a million taels of silver to please the princess? ”
This maid is really Yaozhen's arm to help Cui Dai, Cui Dai also frowned and said: "Hey, the princess's appetite is too big, this million taels of silver, it's not a hundred taels of silver, how can you eat it?" If you buy it for 10,000 taels of silver, the princess's favor is also worth it. If it's a million taels, it's really a loss. ”
Wang Yaozhen continued: "I am a concubine, can I keep my status and status by relying on the princess, can I protect my future children?" No, even the princess herself may not be able to save this. How can she protect me? So, do you say it's useful to take refuge in the princess? It's better to collect this million taels of silver, this is the way for us to retreat in the future. In the future, even if I fail to compete for favor, I have this money. You can also protect yourself and your children. Isn't it much better than giving it to the princess? ”
Cui Xi and Cui Dai both laughed: "It's still true that my aunt sees it, it's true, nothing is silver, nothing is reliable." ”
Wang Yaozhen said: "Besides, is it useful to take refuge in the princess?" You see, Aunt Li has always been very close to the princess, but does the prince love her? It's a lot of going to where she is. Or do you come to us too much? If it weren't for the inconvenience of me these days. It was not Li Shuyu's turn. ”
Cui Xi and Cui Dai hurriedly nodded and said, "Now everyone knows that the prince loves our aunt the most." ”
Wang Yaozhen said: "Can this favor last? No. As you know, soon, we will have a side concubine in our house. This side concubine is not an ordinary family. It's the same big family as the princess, the daughter of the Bai family. This is said to be a higher status than the daughter of the Chen family, after all, the power of the Chen family is not comparable to the Bai family now. ”
Cui Xi and Cui Dai also began to frown: "Then what should we do?" When the side concubine enters the door, the princess is uncomfortable, and we are not comfortable? ”
Wang Yaozhen said with a smile: "It's nothing, we just need to hold one person." ”
Cui Dai hurriedly asked, "Which one?" ”
Wang Yaozhen said: "Chen Wenhui. You see, it was Wen Huirang who not only escaped punishment but also rewarded him in the last cruise incident, which made the prince love me even more. Therefore, our Wen Hui girl, but she has a lot of face than the princess, and naturally she has a bigger face than the future side concubine, what are we afraid of? ”
Cui Xi and Cui Dai nodded hurriedly. Wang Yaozhen said: "Okay, don't talk about this, anyway, this silver was rewarded to me by the prince, I want to cherish it, we can't just just take the silver, we have to think about turning the silver into an industry." Then go home, and tell my father, and show me some shops and granges, and I will buy as many as I can, first for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and then for the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels to be deposited in my father's bank. In more than a month, Mingzhu will be married, and Wen Hui will definitely come back at that time. At that time, I asked Wen Hui to buy me some houses or shops in Shanghai, so that I could earn a little more rent. And the silver still retains its value. ”
Cui Xi and Cui Dai hurriedly agreed.
Sure enough, after a period of time, Wang Yihe bought many granges and shops for his daughter in Heyang Prefecture, Suzhou City, and Qingyang City, and Wang Yaozhen sent someone to take care of it, and she could earn a lot of income a year. After buying these, Wang Yaozhen still has more than 400,000 taels of silver left, so she is waiting for Wen Hui to come back so that Wen Hui can buy her a shop in Shanghai City.
At this time, because of more contact with the family, Cui Dai and Wang Yaozhen said a message: "Auntie, during this period of time, I often go back to our house and find that there are some things in our house. Well, how to say it? ”
Wang Yaozhen hurriedly asked: "Don't babble, say it quickly." ”
Cui Dai hurriedly said: "That's the case, I found out before that the eldest young master has changed a lot, he concentrates on pampering the two aunts, and he is much lighter to the eldest young grandmother, although it is not to the point of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, but it is also too much, even the eldest young grandmother gave birth to the little young master and failed to save the eldest young master's heart." ”
This Yaozhen didn't know: "Why didn't you say this earlier, so did your sister-in-law, and she didn't tell me how they met, she still looked light-hearted, and this cultivation was too good." This is a big deal, you dead girl, it's really delaying things, why didn't you tell me earlier, there is going to be a big event in the house now. ”
Cui Dai's eyes widened: "This is the eldest young master's housework, we are already a girl out of the pavilion, where can we manage the affairs of my brother's room?" So, I didn't say it all along. Besides, how can this affect our Wang family? ”
Yaozhen said, "You don't know this, right?" Our Wang family lives in Ancheng, and we were originally a rich man, but now we can develop to such a point, who does it depend on? Of course, it is relying on Chen Yuanheng, Chen Wenhui is Chen Yuanheng's beloved daughter, so it is offended Wen Hui, offended Wen Hui, think about it, don't big things happen in the family? ”
Cui Dai said: "The eldest young master's family affairs, even we can't take care of it, how can she take care of it?" ”
Yaozhen looked like she hated iron and couldn't make steel: "You, you're just confused, have you forgotten?" What kind of character is Wen Hui, she cherishes the friendship of our people the most, she has always thought about it with her sister-in-law, she knows that her sister-in-law has been wronged in our Wang family, don't you be annoyed? As soon as she was annoyed, she first offended Chen Yuanheng, without the support of Chen Tingshi, wouldn't our Wang family have an accident? To say, now that I have entered the palace, this is equivalent to making our Wang family climb to the top of the four princes, but, you know, I still have to rely on Wen Hui's power in the palace, how can I let the prince offend Wen Hui for me, you say, is this a big deal? ”
Now Zi Cui Dai figured it out, knew that she had made a mistake, thought about it, and said: "According to what my aunt said, I see that these recent troublesome things in the house were done by Miss Wenhui." ”
Yaozhen hurriedly asked, "You haven't said anything yet?" ”
Cui Dai said: "I heard that now a new bank has been opened, which is better than ours, the lord is not happy, and admonishes the eldest young master every day, so the atmosphere in the house is very bad, and the eldest young master is angry, so naturally he is even worse for the eldest young grandmother." ”
Yaozhen frowned and asked, "Who opened the bank and what is its name?" ”
Cui Dai said: "I heard that it is called Futai Bank, and the person who opened the bank is a female shopkeeper, who seems to be surnamed Wan." ”
Yaozhen thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, it should be her, you have also seen it, when we were on a cruise before, the woman Wen Hui rescued was surnamed Wan, and her family also opened a money bank." It must be Wen Hui behind the scenes, and Mrs. Wan in front, this is Wen Hui is very dissatisfied with our family. No wonder, the prince is also strange during this period of time, it turns out that there is a problem in our family. What a stupid person, big brother is too stupid. ”
Cui Dai understood what Yaozhen said. The eldest young master and the master in this mansion are too stupid, do you think that your girl will become a relative of the emperor when she enters the palace? My own girl didn't come to be a princess, she was just an aunt, and she didn't even get mixed up with a side concubine, so she dared to get rid of Chen Tingshi? Chen Tingshi is the royal relatives of the country, and the sisters are now all concubines, and the four princes have to shout when they meet.
Cui Dai felt guilty for a while, it was all her own mistake, how could she not think of it, if this married girl loses her power in her mother-in-law's family, it will be difficult to be happy, just look at the mother of the pearl girl, Mrs. Hu, you know, that is still the lady of the main room? As for the girl in her own family, she is just a concubine, to put it bluntly, her status in this house is about the same as a maid, no, she doesn't have the dignity of the maid next to the princess, so why is she negligent, and she didn't tell her aunt about the affairs of the Wang family in time.
Yaozhen saw the guilt on Cui Dai's face, but she couldn't bear it and said: "Hey, it's all because I insist on going my own way and must enter this palace, which makes everyone's life so difficult." But it doesn't matter, remember the lesson of this time, and there will be things that you can't hide from me in the future. We have a shallow foundation here, and if we are not careful, we will never recover. Thankfully, you've told me now, and I still have a chance to remedy it. Cui Dai, you go to the house and send a little letter, just say that I want to see my father and mother. If it was usual, the princess would definitely refuse, but now there is an opportunity, it can be said that it is to dispose of the one million taels of silver given by the father, and the princess has nothing to say, so I will tell my father and mother in person. Hopefully, it can be redeemed. ”
Cui Dai didn't dare to make a mistake this time, so she hurriedly agreed. Yaozhen looked at Cui Dai's shadow and felt a little melancholy, this came to her beloved's side, it was not as beautiful as she imagined, it was really a sword and a sword, and she couldn't complain that people would say that it was as deep as the sea in Houmen.
