Two Hundred and Fifty: The banquet

Wen Wan was so tired that she took another medicine bath, and asked Xia Yao to give her a full-body massage. She was so tired.

Wen Wan said to Xia Yao, "I've finished government affairs and housework. After I finish housework, I have to do business. I don't know when I can go out for a trip!" Wen Wan really wanted to see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers mentioned by the teacher. But according to this attitude, Wen Wan was really worried that she would wait until her hair was gray. No, it would be even better. At that time, her son would definitely not let her go outside. She would have to be trapped in this place all her life.

Xia Yao smiled and said, "I heard from Xia Ying that the emperor has ordered people to recruit talents in the world. After choosing, let the princess see it. If you like it, take care of the princess for a few years. After teaching, the princess will be relaxed. Whenever she wants it, she will be able to go anywhere she wants." Xia Yao also said comforting words. Teaching a child will definitely not be able to do it within ten or eight years. Wen Wan is still forty years. The child has grown up. How could she let the princess sleep outside in the open air!

Wen Wan curled her lips.

Mei'er got the news and went to Prince Chun's mansion the next day to tell Jiang Lin about this. Mei'er's meaning was that Wen Wan is loose now, and she hopes she can take Minjia over to take a look tomorrow.

Yan Qixuan is not in the capital, and I don’t know where Yunyou has been. King Chun is not in good health now. Jiang Lin lives in a quiet place and doesn’t go to ordinary banquets. She has such a bad relationship with Wen Wan, so she won’t go even more. Jiang Lin received an invitation yesterday, but she didn’t plan to go to the banquet. She only ordered people to prepare gifts and asked the housekeeper to send them tomorrow.

Wenwan also guessed this situation, so she wrote to Mei'er and asked her to help her talk about the issue. Of course, if Jiang Lin doesn't come yet, she won't force it. Wenwan just kept hearing Mei'er say that Minjia is very good, so she gave priority. If not, think of other ways.

Jiang Lin is not a fool either. There must be a reason why Mei'er can come over to talk about the matter specifically. As for the reason, Mei'er doesn't know.

Mei'er said, "Alin, Mingjin is such a good child. You went to see him. If you think it's not good, then I won't say much. But if you don't go, I'm sure you will regret it." Such a good child is hard to pick a lantern.

No matter how quiet Jiang Lin is, she cannot have heard of Mingjin. It’s just that Wen Wan’s attitude towards this matter made her feel unsure. Jiang Lin’s meaning is to not let Min Jia have any connection with the Princess’s Mansion, and her etiquette in the past is like that of ordinary people. She did this, in fact, just to downplay Yan Qixuan’s joke. But Wen Wan has now thrown an olive branch, and Jiang Lin doesn’t know whether to accept it or not.

Jiang Lin smiled bitterly: "Wen Wan said that day, and she didn't want to marry my family. Later, the prince said that when Mingjin grew up, she wouldn't want to marry Min Jia, and then she would find another son-in-law. Now Wen Wan does this, I don't know how to deal with it." Jiang Lin had complained to Yan Qixuan in her heart, but it had happened, and it was useless for him to complain. Now Wen Wan's attitude changed a little, and Jiang Lin was sure that something must have happened, so Wen Wan changed her voice. Princess Wen Wan's temperament is not good enough to get up early, no one knows.

Mei'er knew Jiang Lin's concerns: "Don't worry, Wen Wan and I have been with each other for more than ten years, and I know a little about his temperament. She was worried that your sister's affairs would affect the relationship between the two families, so she didn't want to get married. Now that it's been so long, Wen Wan must not care. As for what you are worried about, it's normal. But don't worry, Wen Wan has this intention and will say these words. As long as Min Jia can satisfy Wen Wan, nothing else is a problem. I have been praising Min Jia in front of Wen Wan over the years. You can't be stupid at this critical moment."

Jiang Lin was still hesitating.

Mei'er also told Luo Shouxun this problem last night. Wen Wan's original behavior was a bit too much for Min Jia. But the root was Yan Qixuan and Jiang Lin. Wen Wan's responsibility for doing so was very small. Seeing Jiang Lin hesitating, Mei'er whispered: "Alin, Bai Shinian has been awarded the title. Mingrui's crown prince's title was soon dropped. Mingrui won the title of Bai Shinian. Think about it, with the contributions established by Wen Wan, what will happen to Mingjin in the future?" The specific one was not explained thoroughly, but the words were already very clear. Those who were in this circle, and Jiang Lin knew everything they should know.

Jiang Lin's eyes widened when she heard this. Why did she forget this?

Mei'er knew that he had figured it out as soon as she saw Jiang Lin's expression: "The girls in the royal palace either married far away or married some families without foundation. Mingjin is smart and studious, and has a great future with Wen Wan. I tell you that if you miss this opportunity, it will be so hopeless." Wen Wan even let go of her attitude. If Jiang Lin doesn't accept it, it means she is unwilling. With Wen Wan's personality and her dearness to her son, this marriage will be completely cut off. Mei'er feels it's a pity.

Jiang Lin immediately made a decision: "Success, I will go to the princess's mansion with you that day." If it can be accomplished, his daughter can also become the wife of the Marquis' Mansion. Because the Chun Mansion is a title with an iron hat, in order to guard against the emperor's suspicion, his son will generally not marry a daughter of a family with real power, and his daughter will not marry into those prominent families. If Mingjin is gone, his daughter will definitely marry in a low position in the future.

Mei'er agreed with a smile. Jiang Lin is Minjia's biological mother, and she will definitely agree for her daughter's future plans. Whether it is Mingjin's future prospects or Mingjin herself, it is not something that people can pick on.

Wen Wan received the reply and smiled. Jiang Lin agreed. Let’s see what the child will do tomorrow. I hope it’s really as good as Meier said.

Wenwan was very tired when she thought of having guests tomorrow. However, Wenwan was also sensible and would never complain in front of Bai Shinian. At most, she would just mumble a few words to Xia Yao.

Bai Shinian was very excited. He pulled Wen Wan and said a lot at night. Since he was awarded the title, Bai Shinian has been in this state of excitement. In the past, he looked at a very calm person, but he seemed to have not woken up in the past few days. Wen Wan didn't want to say anything about him. It would be better for two more days.

The Shenwu Hou Mansion had a great banquet for guests.

Wen Wan doesn't want to wear formal clothes in Japan, so she wears casual clothes. But Xia Yao and Xia Ying disagree. The reason is very simple. Today, not only are these families, but also as many noble ladies in the capital, will come to this banquet.

Wen Wan was still hesitating, and saw Bai Shinian appearing in a royal blue gold-plated brocade dress, which made her look graceful.

Xia Ying was thinking about how to convince Wen Wan, but when she saw Bai Shinian coming out, her eyes lit up. The princess didn't know what to wear, so she came according to the general. Xia Ying ordered Qiu Han to get a set of palace outfits. The palace outfits were also royal blue.

Wenwan looked at her clothes and looked at Bai Shinian's clothes. It was not obviously a couple outfit. Wenwan had no hesitation and decided to wear this outfit. As for jewelry, it must not be like the day she took over, and almost broke her neck that day. Her neck was still sore the next day!

Wen Wan was dressed well and stood with Bai Shinian. She was indescribable. Xia Ying looked around and said with a smile, a pair made of heaven and earth.

Bai Shinian looked at the maids beside Wen Wan, how did his wife teach the maids? They were old husbands and wives, so why did they make a pair of people? They couldn't tell you that they couldn't tell you. They were complaining, but the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, showing his pleasure.

The husband and wife are the protagonists. Naturally, they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion early. Today, a large number of guests will come. Today, all the people in the Princess' Mansion have been called and used. Only those who guard the gateway are left behind.

It can be foreseen that today, any family in the capital who is ranked first will come to congratulate you. There must be noisy cars and horses in front of the Shenwu Hou Mansion, which is very lively.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang and another wife were sitting in a green-covered, red-shaped eight-treasure car. It arrived early. Wen Wan received the news, but was a little surprised: "Who is Mrs. Zhu?" Wen Wan had a deep impression of Bai Shinian's several life-and-death relationships, namely Bao Baogang and Zhang Yi. In addition, there was also, but Wen Wan had no impression.

Xia Ying whispered: "Mrs. Zhu's husband and Zhang Yi are brothers of eight. But they have little to do with my general." In other words, today we took advantage of the good time to come and walk around. Let's get in touch with the world.

Wen Wan nodded, no wonder she had never heard of it. Bao Baogang and Zhang Yi followed Bai Shinian, and Wen Wan knew more. There was another one, which seemed to be a very strong brother of Bai Shinian. The man saved Bai Shinian's life. It was in the extremely tragic battle that year that he pulled Bai Shinian out of the dead, which allowed Bai Shinian to survive. However, this person has been working outside. Wen Wan has only heard of the name and has never seen herself. Her family has been working outside.

After Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhu entered the gate of the Shenwu Hou Mansion, they changed to a small oil cart. The small oil cart was extremely low-key blue. Mrs. Zhu sat on the oil cart and saw that there was nothing in the small oil cart, which was very simple. According to Mrs. Zhu's expectation, the cart should be dressed in extremely luxuriously, how could it be so simple? After all, Princess Wenwan is the God of Wealth in the Great Qi Dynasty, which is well known. Luxury is normal, simple but very strange.

Mrs. Zhu got off the carriage and said a few words to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was very troubled by Mrs. Zhu’s questions. There was no embellishment of gold, silver, jewelry, gems, etc. in the carriage. But how could it be said that the carriage was shabby! Even if it was simple, it proved that Princess Wenwan was simple. She said she would not be with Mrs. Zhu, but her husband just explained and explained it. I hope she would not say anything amazing later.

The two of them entered the main hall first, and the maid led the two of them to sit down: "The two ladies wait for a moment, and the princess will come soon."

Mrs. Zhu looked around. There was a table of the eight immortals in the main hall, and a picture of Maitreya Bodhisattva was hung on the wall. Below the image was a long case, and there was a certain gray incense burner on the long case. There were two chairs of the Grand Master of the Red Sandalwood, and there were twenty-four chairs in the row below. In the main hall, the maids and servants were each in their own positions, and there was no sound of a cough, which was very quiet.

Mrs. Zhu murmured softly that the main hall was so simple. Especially the gray incense burner, Mrs. Zhu murmured that it was not as good as hers!

If Mrs. Zhu knew the value of this incense burner, she would probably not have muttered about the shabbyness.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the simple decoration and thought to herself that it might be because she didn't live here. But when she heard Mrs. Zhu's muttering, Mrs. Zhang was really troubled. What place is this? Why is it so unruly? Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhu stopped talking.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard a tiny sound of footsteps. They saw a woman in a royal blue palace outfit walking in. They also guessed that this person must be Princess Wenwan. They didn't dare to look up, but just stood up to salute: "Princess Wanfu Jinan..."

Wen Wan sat on the couch with a smile and said, "Sit down!"

Wenwan looked at Mrs. Zhang wearing a pomegranate red and gold-sleeved jacket, combed with a lily bun, wearing a cloisonné red coral Ruyi gold hairpin, and a red gold gem pendant with a ear. She dressed in a standard lady.

Looking at Mrs. Zhu, she looked like she was only twenty-seven or twenty years old, wearing a pink silk-carved and colorful dizzy dress, a peony bun, a red gold ruby ​​face, a pair of gold bracelets on her wrists, and two gem rings on her fingers. Well, her appearance, her plump breasts and buttocks are the type that men like now.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Wen Wan secretly like Mrs. Zhu. The two saw Wen Wan wearing a royal blue embroidered peony-woven gold brocade dress, with a high bun, and not many jewelry on her head. She just had a pair of pearl-dotted hairpins. The pearls were as big as fingernails, and the size of a fingernail, which was moist and radiant, emitting bright brilliance, with pearl earrings on her ears. She wore a string of nanmu Buddhist beads.

Mrs. Zhang is aware of the goods. The greening craftsmanship on the head is so exquisite that it is impossible to see on the market. The material of this dress is also an extremely expensive Yunjin. The princess looks indifferent to her outfit, but she is rich and powerful.

This is in line with gentle and consistent style and the luxury in low-key.

Mrs. Zhu was not as good as Mrs. Zhang. Seeing Wen Wan’s appearance of not having a single piece of eye-catching jewelry from beginning to end, she felt extremely strange. However, she also knew what occasion this was and did not dare to be presumptuous.

Both of them brought their children here, Mrs. Zhang brought two children and one daughter here. Mrs. Zhu brought one daughter here. Several children came forward to salute Wen Wan.

Wen Wan looked at the children she brought. For Wen Wan who was used to beinghaved in the capital, these children were more innocent and straightforward than the children in the capital.

Wenwan gave each gift to each other. The gift was exquisite purse embroidered with gold thread. As for the gift inside, only the person involved knew about it. If Wenwan didn’t give a special order to give a gift, the people below would divide it into several levels according to the rules. Until now, no mistake has happened.

The maid serves tea to the guests one by one. The guests use a complete set of blue and white tea cups, and Wenwan uses a white jade tea cup.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the teacup in Wenwan's hand, then at the teacup in her hand, and took a breath in her heart. The teacup that the princess used could be worthy of the house they lived in. It was simple outside, but the princess was not simple at all!

I have to say that Mrs. Zhang is half right. The scenery of the Princess Mansion is the best. The excessive decoration will only make them look like the original features. Therefore, the outside of the Princess Mansion has not changed much, but the layout of the inner courtyard does not have a very gorgeous color, but each one is a fine product. As for the Hou Mansion, it is not where Wen Wan lives, and Bai Shinian has not planned to live in the Hou Mansion often, and the good things are not placed. This time the butler means that it can be placed. Wen Wan refused.

The gentle meaning is that the things that guests use are good. The layout of the General's Mansion should not be changed, and it does not need to be too gorgeous. It will be done after seeing it. The decoration is too gorgeous, and it will only be a waste of time and money in these few days. Besides, who doesn't know that she makes money every day. Even if the Hou Mansion is simpler, no one will say that the Hou Mansion is poor.

However, Mrs. Zhang thought Wenwan was not simple at all, so she was wrong to blame Wenwan. Wenwan is a little obsessed with cleanliness. She basically doesn’t change the things she uses unless it is broken. Now this white jade tea cup is often used by Wenwan.

Mrs. Zhang uncovered the tea cover, and a stream of fragrant osmanthus fragrance drifted into the tip of her nose. The tea in the tea cup, the clear and bright light golden tea soup, and the green leaves embellished during the period.

Mrs. Zhu smelled the fragrance and knew it was a good thing. She savored the tea carefully and made Mrs. Zhang feel depressed.

Wenwan drank health tea. She took a sip and put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "I don't know what you like. If the hospitality is not good, please tell me directly."

"You are polite, so high-quality Biluochun can't be drunk at the border. Moreover, if my wife read it correctly, it should be added with osmanthus flowers. The taste is mellow and sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Unexpectedly, the princess is still an elegant person in the tea." Mrs. Zhang said implicitly, but secretly praised Wen Wan for her ability to enjoy life.

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhang praised it, it was just something to spend time in her spare time. If Mrs. Zhang liked it, she would just take some back later."

Mrs. Zhang was not polite, "Then my wife won't be polite with the princess." When dealing with people like Princess Wenwan, you must not be nervous. The more you are in a stage fright, the more you look down on me in the end.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Princess, why don't you see two young masters..." Mrs. Zhu has heard people praise the two young masters countless times. It is said that seeing is better than seeing one person at a time. Now the opportunity is rare, and it is also good to meet one person.

Mrs. Zhang's face changed a little.

Wen Wan didn't mind, but instead smiled and told the maid around her: "Go to the front yard to call the two children." It was nothing compared to seeing each other. She had a lot of meat or two.

Wenwan and Mrs. Zhang were talking when the two children came over.

Mingrui and Mingjin were wearing the same clothes, both wearing white-backed, dark blue jade belts, jade pendants, purses and other items on their waists, and purple gold crowns on their heads. This time, Mingjin asked the brothers to wear the same clothes and the same accessories. Mingrui always followed Mingjin in small matters. In fact, the two of them looked different, and they were easy to identify with the same clothes and clothes. "Mother (Mother)..."

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Did you happen to come here?"

As Wenwan said, Mingrui and Mingjin were about to come to see Wenwan. The two children were asked by Bai Shinian to come. On the way, they happened to meet someone Wenwan sent to call them.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhu looked at the two children. Mrs. Zhang had a surprise in her eyes, but it was fleeting. When Mrs. Zhu saw the two children, she could not hide the surprise in her eyes.

Wen Wan smiled and introduced the people present to the two children: "Mingrui, Mingjin, this is Mrs. Zhang, this is Mrs. Zhu..." Wen Wan introduced the two wives to the two children, and then Mrs. Zhang introduced several of her own children.

Wenwan saw Mrs. Zhu personally introduce her daughter to Mingrui and Mingjin, especially her youngest daughter. She wanted to laugh at the moment, what's the situation!

Mrs. Zhang's color was a little purple when she was below.

Wen Wan actually paid attention to the two children. Mrs. Zhang's daughter, Wen Wan guessed that this should be the daughter of Bai Shinian Zhang Yi. Since she came in, she has always been in a regular manner, without looking around, and only followed her mother quietly. She looks pretty good and not amazing, but she must be a little beauty when she grows up. It's okay to say this, but it's too quiet and makes people feel a little weird. The little girl obviously shrank when she saw Wen Wan looking at her.

Wen Wan was a little amused and crying. This little girl was afraid of her? Is she so scary? In this way, she is far from meeting Wen Wan's requirements.

As for Mrs. Zhu's woman, Wen Wan didn't make any comments. As soon as Mrs. Zhu's daughter came in, she looked around. Perhaps the arrangement of the main hall made her unsatisfied and frowned.

However, this little girl is very brave. She is not afraid of Wen Wan at all. She smiles and speaks crisply. Wen Wan doesn't like it either. People who like it can be said to be lively, cute, innocent and romantic. If you don't like it, it is naturally no rules.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Mingrui and Mingjin with great decent appearance. Such a good child, especially Mingrui, was the prince of the Marquis's mansion: "Princess, the two young masters are so good. Brother Zhang has the vision and said early that he had made a marriage with the Marquis. This is really a good marriage that he can't find even with a lantern!" This is really the first time I have seen this whole body.

Mrs. Zhang almost fainted. Where did she go? Mrs. Zhang also knew that her husband had made verbal promises with Marquis Bai before. When she had children in the future, she would become a piano player. But the problem was that she didn’t know what happened later. She didn’t know that Bai Shinian married Princess Wenwan! Although her second daughter is about the same age as the Marquis’ two children, what she said at the beginning could only be regarded as a joke. Because the decision-making power of the child’s marriage is no longer in the hands of Marquis Bai. Marquis Bai himself also said that the marriage between the two children is no longer something his father can do. I don’t know who told her, is he trying to cheat her daughter to death?

Mrs. Zhang quickly answered this: "This is also the joke between my master and the marquis. Princess, the two young masters look so good. I heard from our master that both children are among the best people, and it is true that they see them today. I don't know whose daughter will be so lucky in the future."

Wen Wan naturally knew the meaning of what Mrs. Zhang said: "I'm not afraid of you to joke. My two children are still in my stomach, so I'm thinking about Prince Chun and Prince Zhenguo. Well, the Duke of Zhenguo is now thinking about it. At that time, it was said that if I gave birth to a daughter, I would be a daughter-in-law for their family. If I gave birth to a son, they would treat my daughter as a daughter-in-law. It was a coincidence that I gave birth to two sons. Prince Chun and Prince Zhenguo's wife each gave birth to a daughter-in-law. This matter was announced in front of everyone at the full moon ceremony of my two children. I believe no one in the whole capital would know it." When Wen Wan said this, she smiled: "I don't have to worry about carefully choosing a daughter-in-law for them in the future. I'll wait to drink daughter-in-law tea."

Wen Wan felt relieved in her heart. It seemed that Bai Shinian had not given up yet! Fortunately, she was not careful, otherwise, the couple would have had a fuss about this matter in the future.

Mrs. Zhang quickly calmed her expression, and was about to speak and said that it was a couple between the princess and the two young masters. But Mrs. Zhu couldn't hold back. She said anxiously: "No, my master told me that Brother Zhang had already made an agreement with the Marquis to be the in-laws in the future..." If the eldest brother of the Zhang family got married with the Marquis' Mansion, they would also get married with the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

Mrs. Zhang took a breath and wished she could block her mouth. Shenwu Hou had already spoken clearly and had already told her master directly that the big fist of the two children's marriage was not in his hands. With gentle and fearful name, there was no room for struggle at all.

Wen Wan smiled after hearing this: "The so-called "a woman is not allowed to have two families, and a man is not allowed to marry two wives. Mrs. Zhang, do you think so?" Wen Wan was actually very surprised. Is Mrs. Zhu's mind watered or something? She said so obviously, why are she still pestering her? Fortunately, it's not his daughter. If it were his daughter, Wen Wan would have a headache. The scholar was unwilling to meet a soldier, so that's the situation.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and immediately answered: "What the princess said is. It was also my master and the marquis who were drunk and joked, so how could he take it seriously?" Mrs. Zhu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhang's ruthless eyes. Mrs. Zhu was so scared that her heart jumped out. She didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. Because this was the first time.

If it were in my heart, Mrs. Zhang naturally hoped to marry the Marquis' Mansion. Zhang Yi was granted the title of Viscount by the emperor. Viscount was the first-class rank, and it was a hereditary position. He was also a new noble in the capital. However, they had no foundation in the capital. If they wanted to quickly get together with the upper class in the capital and gain a foothold, marriage was the best way. Zhang Yi and Mrs. Zhang had thought that if they could marry the Bai family, the child's mother was Princess Wenwan, who was truly unattainable in the capital. The daughter became their daughter-in-law, not to mention the future, but invisibly, they would also get a lot of convenience in the present. In addition, the husband praised the child before, but now he liked him. Based on this, Zhang Yi tentatively asked Bai Shinian after returning to Beijing. However, Bai Shinian's attitude was also very clear. He could not make the decision on the marriage of the two children.
To be continued...
