No matter how arrogant the Pei family was, and no matter how much the Pei family head's wife wanted to see her grandson, she still had to follow the rules and send him a greeting card. …
Speaking of which, she didn't even have the honor of being Min Yuhan, much less a grandmother. Min Yuhan had personally brought the greeting card to Li Hongyuan. As long as Li Hongyuan saw the card, he would meet her. Could the Pei family head's wife do it? No, she wasn't even the one who signed the card. As for when they could meet, it would depend on Li Hongyuan's mood.
In the current situation, there weren't many people who dared to send a greeting card to Li Hongyuan. Hence, the card would reach Li Hongyuan very quickly.
Li Hongyuan took the card and signed it with the Pei family head's personal seal. With just a glance, he threw the card out. It was clearly a group of women. Logically speaking, they should be sending the card to the princess consort. At this time, they were actually playing tricks and bypassing the princess consort to meet him directly. What kind of logic was this?
To put it in a small way, it was to avoid Jin Qinwang Fei and achieve their unspeakable goal. After all, things like concubines should be handled by the main wife, but since her own man had agreed, how could she not agree? Hence, as long as Li Hongyuan agreed to let the Pei family's daughter stay, Luo Jingwan's surprise would be in vain.
To put it simply, they were looking down on the princess consort and the royal family. It would be fine if they achieved their goal. However, if they didn't and Jingwan insisted on pursuing the matter, the entire Pei family would have to bear the consequences. No one in the Pei family was an official or a noble. They were just ordinary people. It would only add to their crimes.
Jing Wan naturally saw the post as well. "Actually, I've always felt that Patriarch Pei is a very strange person. Logically speaking, he should be able to see the Pei family's current situation clearly. However, he acts as if the Pei family is still the number one aristocratic family in name. He is confident. No, it should be arrogant. No matter how I look at it, he doesn't seem like a fool. Then, what is he relying on? Just like this time. Is he so sure that you will accept the Pei family's daughter? Is he so sure that I will swallow this humiliation? "
"We'll soon find out whether or not he has any chips that will guarantee his victory. However, it's also possible that he's considering others from his own standpoint. As long as there are enough benefits, women are just objects. He probably thinks that it's an unbelievable thing to reject an object because he doesn't want it. A person who can do such a thing must be the stupidest person in the world. "Li Hongyuan looked at Jingwan with a faint smile and a hint of mockery.
"Your Highness, are you saying that you are stupid? Is this self-awareness? " However, according to this man's style, he wouldn't want unnecessary items, but he would hold onto the benefits behind them. It was a typical bandit's logic, and also a bandit's style. However, he was her man. Even if her worldview was shattered into pieces, she still felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
"This has nothing to do with being stupid or not. The main thing is that I have a fierce wife at home, so I fear her like a tiger." If his wife was too powerful, no matter how many benefits he had, he could only stand aside.
Jingwan raised her eyebrows. Since she was the one who got the benefits, then it didn't matter if she had a bad reputation. So be it. "Since Your Highness has said so, I should do something to live up to my reputation. Since the concubines sent themselves to my door, I'll have to work hard to help you deal with them."
"This kind of thing should be dealt with as a wife. Could it be that Wan Wan originally intended to stand aside and do nothing?" His wife didn't have enough awareness. He needed to teach her more.
"My husband, you're thinking too much. I didn't intend to let you see them at all." Jingwan smiled mysteriously. Any signs that could cause the lunatic to act up had to be extinguished.
"That's the best."
Jingwan was fully in charge of this matter. Naturally, she was prepared to leave them out for a few days. Of course, she wouldn't immediately tell them when to come. Only the unknown could make people anxious. They coveted her husband and tried to destroy her family's happiness. How could she be merciful to these people just because they were related to Li Hongyuan?
Jingwan said that she wouldn't be merciful, but she was just leaving them out. This was nothing. Li Hongyuan sighed in his heart. With Wan Wan's personality, as long as outsiders didn't do anything substantial to her, she would probably never be ruthless. If it were someone else, knowing this situation, they would have done something long ago. For example, ruining a person's reputation was the simplest method. Especially since Madam Pei didn't want people to know what they were doing, they should have done everything they could. Wan Wan probably didn't even think about this.
Li Hongyuan looked at the lazy Jingwan nestled in his arms and reached out to touch her hair. Forget it, it wasn't like he couldn't protect her. There was no need to force her on such a small matter. A change in temperament was often accompanied by a big change. Li Hongyuan didn't want Jingwan to experience that kind of thing. Once was enough, although it only existed in his memory and Wan Wan didn't know about it. If something similar happened again, he would definitely go crazy and drag the whole world down with him.
It was fine as long as his sweetheart was happy.
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan were naturally having a good time. However, the Pei Clan Leader's wife and the six Pei Clan ladies were not so calm. Including the other three ladies, they already knew the purpose of their visit to Chuanzhou Mansion. It was a matter of life and marriage, so it was hard for anyone to remain indifferent. Pei Xiuying seemed to be the most indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. However, the twin sisters who knew her very well snorted in disdain. If she really didn't care, she wouldn't have played the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting so frequently. After two days of settling down, the two of them didn't feel like the world was falling apart. On the contrary, they were determined to succeed. The other three also had some determination. Two of them were concubines and one of them was the first wife. The father of the first wife was also a concubine and also had no status in the main residence of the Pei family. Even if they could marry the first wife in the future, even if the man was from an aristocratic family, he would definitely have no power or status in the family. Instead of marrying such a person and living a simple life, it was better to take a gamble. Who knew, they might even be able to rise to the top in a single step and be incomparably glorious.
That's right, not every aristocratic family looked down on the "nouveau riche" or even the imperial family. Their words might agree, but their thoughts were completely different.
Needless to say, the wife of the head of the Pei family, the one she was really anxious about was her grandson. It was reasonable to say that he should already know about her relationship with the Pei family. However, the invitation sent by the Pei family had not been replied to for a long time. Was he resentful in his heart? Did he simply not want to see the people of the Pei family? Then unexpectedly, she thought of the expression of her daughter when she left the family. The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself. The more she blamed herself, the more painful it was. So much so that she almost fell ill. However, because she didn't see Li Hongyuan, she held on with one breath.
Of course, they were not the only ones who were anxious. There were also the accompanying officials. When they were in Kaiming Fu, they were scattered and sent to various places in Jiangnan. At that time, they felt that this was exactly what they wanted and hurriedly rushed over to help clean up and erase the evidence. However, Jin Qinwang didn't play his cards according to common sense. This kind of action was useless and might even leave behind something that could be used against them. Moreover, after they were recalled, Jin Qinwang's meaningful gaze always made them feel uneasy. Now that they were temporarily in charge of the government affairs of Shannan County, each and every one of them stretched their skin and didn't dare to make any small movements. They were afraid that the next moment, the Blackguard would appear in front of them.
This time, there was no more suitable imperial envoy candidate than Jin Qinwang. It was really true. From top to bottom, which one of them wasn't cleaned up until they were docile.
Because the ordinary people were also affected, Jingwan proposed to go out for a stroll. It wasn't to say that it was with great fanfare, but it was also absolutely not low-key. The main thing was to tell the people that the sky didn't fall and the earth didn't sink. Even if something happened, it was still the officials. It had nothing to do with the ordinary people. They should do what they should do.
Li Hongyuan didn't have the mind to care about how these people were doing. After a long time, even if it didn't work out, when they returned to the capital, they would naturally recover. However, he was very interested in simply accompanying his wife to play. These days, the Chief Historian of the Great Map was not idle. In this city, there was no problem even if he wasn't needed as a "guide".
Because he had a special purpose, he naturally didn't go to a more special place. Probably wherever it was bustling, he would go there.
Although Jingwan and the others' attire was relatively restrained, but Yu Zhongqing, Li Suyan and the others' attire wasn't restrained at all. They directly wore their official robes and their swords never left their hands. That deterrent force was not a little bit. At first, everyone who saw them hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would bump into them.
The class was so distinct. Jingwan secretly sighed in her heart and threw this little emotion aside. She pulled Li Hongyuan to stroll around in high spirits. From the end of this street to the end of that street, it seemed that she had never seen these things before. Looking here, looking there, looking there. Even the stall owners of the small stalls were amiable. Jingwan was actually more approachable. With a bit of deliberate effort, the originally nervous people also gradually relaxed. "… … How much is this?" Jingwan had a small doll in her hand.
"No need, no need. It's this commoner's honor that the Princess Consort likes this little thing. How can I take the Princess Consort's money?" The stall owner's wife quickly said.
Jingwan joked, "We don't lack this little bit of money. If we meet someone who looks rich, boss should try his best to rip them off. Even if it's ten times or a hundred times, you wouldn't feel that it's expensive. If you don't take the money, they might think that you're looking down on them. "Jingwan was very conscious of being a sucker.
The stall owner was a little fearful, "Princess Consort, this commoner's wife doesn't have any intention of looking down on you. This commoner … …"
The stall owner's wife also had a face of anxiety, wanting to explain.
Jingwan waved her hand, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I know that you don't have that intention. I also don't have that idea. I'm just saying that there might be such people. Since you've met them, you should earn more. "
The stall owner and his wife were speechless. After stuttering for a while, they finally said, "That, that's bullying."
Jingwan smiled. This husband and wife were honest people. When they met that kind of shrewd person, they wouldn't hesitate to rip them off. Jingwan chose a few more dolls and stuffed two dolls into Li Hongyuan's hands.
Li Hongyuan didn't refuse. He picked it up with two fingers and looked at it. He really couldn't see what was good about this toy. The workmanship was rough and the material was inferior. If his wife really liked it, she could just let the servants make it. It was guaranteed that it would be a hundred times better than this.
Seeing Li Hongyuan's obvious disdain, Jingwan glared at him.
Li Hongyuan paused the words at the tip of his tongue, "As long as Princess Consort likes it."
Jingwan then smiled again and gave him a 'at least you know your place' look. "Mu 'an, pay up." She turned to the next place.
Li Hongyuan shook his head with a little indulgence and followed her.
Mu 'an handed over one tael of silver with a chuckle, "Is it enough?"
"It's too much. Twenty copper coins is enough." So, the husband and wife were really honest people.
"Keep it. There's no need to change. A group of corrupt officials have been cleaned up. Both His Highness and Princess Consort are in a good mood. We all feel happy." Eunuch Mu's words were simple and straightforward but had a deeper meaning. Of course, they would do their best to help the Princess Consort achieve her wish.
In this way, after a few more times, some things would gradually spread.
Turning back, Jingwan looked at Mu 'an. En, he was really a good lackey. "Well done. Mama, remember to give our Eunuch Mu a big red title when you go back."
"Yes, this servant will remember." Granny Gong replied, looking as proper as usual.
"Thank you, Princess Consort, for the reward." Eunuch Mu received it flatteringly. Compared to Mama Gong, he was simply shameless.
Several servant girls couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.
An Yi and the others all secretly scolded him in their hearts for being a treacherous villain who only knew how to please the Princess Consort. Well, although they criticized him in their hearts, in essence, they absolutely had no objection.
When Li Hongyuan and others went out like this, those who wanted to see them or meet them by chance would naturally come out one after another.
However, Li Hongyuan was not in the mood to pay attention to them. As soon as he saw someone deliberately approaching, the black-clothed guards, who were the guards, immediately stepped forward and blocked the person. They pulled out their swords by an inch. The meaning could not be more obvious. Immediately retreat, otherwise, they would not be polite. After two or three times, naturally, no one would be tactless enough to come forward.
At this moment, Jingwan pulled Li Hongyuan to stand in front of the dough figurine stall and asked people to make two dough figurines according to them.
Such a boring thing, Li Hongyuan patiently accompanied her. From time to time, he tilted his head, slightly lowered his head, and whispered a few words in her ear.
The smile on Jingwan's face was unusually bright and beautiful. The joy overflowed from inside and infected the people around her.
"His Highness and Princess Consort have a good relationship." The old man who made the dough figurines couldn't help sighing with emotion.
Li Hongyuan chuckled and Jingwan slightly blushed.
That scene, how many people's eyes were mesmerized. However, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious and no one could get in between.
In the teahouse next to them, the Pei Clan Head's wife and several Pei Clan girls had a panoramic view of all this.
The Pei Clan Head's wife couldn't help but use her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and kept saying, "So similar, so similar."
The focus of Pei Xiuying and her was naturally different. The relationship between the husband and wife was too good. As a result, it would be more difficult for her to do things in the future. Therefore, she subconsciously clenched her fists. Only when she felt a sharp pain in her palm did she slowly release it. Secretly, she told herself that it didn't matter. No matter how good the relationship was, it couldn't withstand misunderstandings and couldn't help but drive a wedge between them. Slowly planning, step by step, she would always be able to achieve her goal.
As for the other girls, they couldn't help but blush. It was obvious that they were young girls yearning for love. They probably didn't think that Jin Qinwang would grow up to be so handsome. It should be known that aristocratic families were often a concentration camp of handsome men and beautiful women. Especially in the current Pei Clan, just casually pick one out and there wasn't one who wasn't good-looking. It could be imagined how picky these girls' eyes were. They all unanimously believed that they had never seen a man more handsome than Jin Qinwang.
It was this face that made her originally seventy percent tempted. Now, she was twelve percent tempted.
Pei Xiuying glanced at them. They were really toads wanting to eat swan meat. She didn't put them in her eyes at all. Her gaze landed on the Pei Clan Head's wife, "Great Grandmother, you should relax. No matter what, you should be happy to see me."
"Pei Xiuying, you're right. I've finally seen you, I've finally seen you." Almost thirty years, her daughter ah, almost thirty years ah!
The others returned to their senses. They were confused. They felt that something wasn't right, as if there was something they didn't know.
Jingwan held the kneaded dough. Hers was more similar. Sure enough, it was because a certain person's appearance was too good and her temperament was too outstanding that she couldn't knead it. "The workmanship is not bad."
"Wangfei niangniang overpraises. This commoner is really ashamed. I can't knead even a fraction of Wangye and Wangfei niangniang's charm."
"It's already not bad. Has the old master already studied? "Jingwan asked with a smile.
"When I was young, I studied for a few years. It's just that I'm relatively stupid and couldn't even pass the exam."
"Studying doesn't necessarily require one to pass the exam. If everyone is literate, I believe that after graduation, it would be a different scene." Jingwan's voice slowed down a bit.
Not only the master of the kneading dough, even Li Hongyuan was startled. It was reasonable to say that he would do everything to help Jingwan achieve her wishes. However, he had to admit that he couldn't make everyone literate. It was impossible even if he devoted his whole life. This wasn't because of his personal reasons, but because the environment didn't allow it. "I'm sorry."
Jingwan was surprised. She looked up at him and immediately reacted, "What's there to be sorry about? I know that this isn't something that can be done with one's own strength. As long as we work hard bit by bit, one day in the future, we might be able to achieve it." Even in her previous life, wasn't there also someone who didn't study?
"Yes."
"Let's go. — — Mu An, pay. "
Mu Gonggong wanted to say, Wangfei, you don't have to say this every time. This servant will consciously pay. If you say it every time like this, it makes this servant feel very useless ah.
Even lunch was eaten outside. The whole day passed by just like that. Although she didn't do anything meaningful, Jingwan felt very happy.
Jingwan, who was in a good mood, finally mercifully replied to Pei-shi, letting them visit the next morning.
After receiving the reply, Pei-shi's old and young finally breathed a sigh of relief. The next day, after a good preparation, they went to the other courtyard.
When they were led in, they each had their own thoughts about seeing Jin Qinwang. However, when they saw Jingwan holding a pair of scissors trimming the flowers, they couldn't help but stare blankly. What was going on?
It was reasonable to say that the invitation to the male and female masters would be separated and sent to their hands separately. They had nothing to do with each other. In order to avoid Jin Qinwang Fei, they specially used Pei Clan Head's invitation.
