Aunt Xue of the Red Chamber is not easy to mess with

Wang Wan raised her eyebrows holding the invitation. The Lai Fu family was very happy. Although Wang Wan was a little surprised, she didn't think it was strange. After all, she invested such a large sum of money in it, and the investment will eventually pay off.

She doesn't pray for the merits of being a dragon, she just wants to live a peaceful and stable life, and she doesn't need to care about other things. What's more, it seems that Mr. Cui is obviously the fourth prince's man, and the Xue family has taken Mr. Cui for so long , It's hard not to be included in the fourth prince's camp, since that's the case, she can only follow the trend.

Wang Wan doesn't like facing power, she even hates facing power from the bottom of her heart, it always makes her feel inferior, she hates this kind of weakness, but now she has to rely on this kind of power, Wang Wan frowned Frowning, sighing secretly, he had to brace himself to face it.

Wang Wan knew in her heart that although the money she gave was quite a lot, it was not worth mentioning to the royal family. A large part of the reason why she was able to get this invitation was Mr. Cui.

Therefore, Wang Wan thought, maybe she wanted to thank Mr. Cui, at least in the eyes of most people, this invitation was something she couldn't even ask for.

Wang Wan went to Wutong Courtyard, Mr. Cui was sitting in the gazebo drinking tea, Wang Wan chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. is really very interested." So much that she was so annoyed by this inexplicable invitation that she couldn't fall asleep. I feel it.

Cui Ziyan didn't seem to be surprised when he saw Wang Wan. He smiled and raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to sit down. Wang Wan sat down opposite him. Cui Ziyan handed her a cup of tea and said, "This is the Tieguanyin you just got. Try it."

Wang Wan picked up the teacup with great interest, took a sip pretendingly, and said, "Well, yes, it quenches your thirst without crying." Then she put the teacup on the table.

Cui Ziyan twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Wang Wan who was a little speechless, and said after a while: "I see that you also like drinking tea on weekdays." Why does it seem that you don't know anything about it.

"No..." Wang Wan was silent for a moment, and then said: "The tea cup is filled with fruit juice." She doesn't know anything about tea tasting, she just likes this elegant style, but it's a pity that she can't do it by herself, let alone for the sake of beauty , she doesn't often drink tea.

Cui Ziyan had to change the subject and said, "Madam, why are you here?"

Wang Wan put the invitation on the table, and then said: "Invitation from the fourth princess." She looked at Cui Ziyan and said: "This is your reason."

Cui Ziyan didn't deny it either, Wang Wan frowned and said, "This was not my original intention."

"I know." Cui Ziyan nodded, and said: "It's just that the fourth princess wants to see you."

Wang Wan nodded and didn't say anything more. She couldn't refuse such an invitation, otherwise she would lose face to the princess.

The fourth princess's banquet was held in June, when the flowers were in full bloom, Wang Wan took people to the palace, only kowtowed outside, and stayed in the garden, the flowers in the palace were blooming really well, then This kind of dignity is not found in other places. Wang Wan knew that depending on her status, she might not be able to see the princess. Therefore, she stayed honestly where she should be, and never caused trouble.

Because no one paid any attention to it, she felt more at ease. She took the pastry and fruit plate and hid in the gazebo to enjoy it. She felt very satisfied.

When the banquet was over, Wang Wan also followed the flow of people and prepared to kowtow and leave, but she didn't want to be stopped by a maid just as she stood up, and said: "The princess asked Mrs. Xue to stay for a while, and the side room is ready for a snack."

Wang Wan's face froze, and she subconsciously rubbed her belly, she ate a lot of snacks today.

The maid rolled her eyes and led her over, completely ignoring the astonished faces of the other noble ladies. Wang Wan was a little puzzled, and she didn't know why the fourth princess called her?

The maid left after sending Wang Wan to the wing, Qiao Cui seemed a little nervous, and couldn't help asking: "Madam, what do you think the princess is keeping us here for?"

"I don't know." Wang Wan shook her head, sat upright on the couch, saw the two people full of anxiety, and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal if you think about it." It was nothing more than wanting to see her, Although she was puzzled, it didn't seem like Qiaocui and the others had the deep-rooted fear of the royal family.

After about one incense stick, the fourth concubine came in with a few maids. She looked very young, wearing a long satin jacket with pink and purple gold peony embroidery on a red background, and a white cigarette that mopped the floor. The caged plum blossom and white water skirt, the whole person looked extraordinarily noble, Wang Wan was only stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and said a blessing, "Greetings to the princess."

"Get up." With a smile on her face, the fourth princess said with a smile: "Sit down and talk." She looked Wang Wan carefully before she said with a smile: "You are much younger than I imagined. "

"Wangfei empress is absurd." Wang Wan saluted quickly.

The fourth concubine looked at her for a while, then smiled lightly, and said, "Don't be cautious." Seeing that Wang Wan's attitude remained unchanged, she sighed again: "It's just that you are often mentioned, so you are kept. down."

Wang Wan blinked her eyes in doubt, not understanding what she meant?She is a princess, who can she listen to mention herself?Her reputation is not so loud.

The fourth concubine saw that she was puzzled, and she was not showing off, so she said: "When my son was in the boudoir, I knew Yun Hui very well, and she said a lot of good things about you." She smiled lightly, and said: "She I don’t get along well with people in Beijing, but I don’t want to share my interests with you.”

Only then did Wang Wan understand, and she immediately relaxed a lot, and said with a smile, "I think it's because of Mr. Cui." Both Mr. Cui and Mr. Cui are polite people. If the fourth princess really often hears gossip about herself from Mr. Cui, this is no joke.

After hearing this, the fourth concubine looked at her in astonishment, then burst out laughing, and said, "It's really quick to talk, no wonder you have Yun Hui's temper."

Wang Wan sat on the lower seat, and when she heard what she said, she immediately smiled and said, "Yunhui is gentle and polite. In my opinion, she is the most beautiful woman in the world." Wang Wan is not talking nonsense, she really thinks, Only this word can be worthy of this woman, she looks gentle and demure from the outside, but inside she has a very sharp temper, not as pretentious as ordinary ladies.

The Fourth Princess smiled and said: "If Yun Hui heard this, she might be so happy." She didn't expect Wang Wan to have such a temperament, and then said: "I heard that when my son was in Jinling earlier, You just donated money and food to the government?"

Wang Wan frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's true, it's just a pity for the victims."

"If everyone is like you, the prince will be able to do a lot better." The fourth princess sighed and said with a smile: "I heard that the Qizhen Pavilion is the wife's shop, and it is true that a talented woman like the wife rare."

Wang Wan blushed a little, scratched her head, and then said a little shyly: "It's just that I like to play with yellow and white things."

"Although this yellow and white thing is vulgar, it is also indispensable." The fourth princess looked at Wang Wan and sighed.

Wang Wan was vigilant in her heart, glanced at the fourth princess carefully, and secretly guessed in her heart, it was obvious that the fourth princess said this because she was short of money, but how could a dignified princess be short of money?If she hadn't been signaled by someone, how could she have taken a little businessman's wife seriously.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Wang Wan asked cautiously.

The fourth concubine smiled and sighed: "Alas, there are many disasters in various parts of the country now, and disaster relief is needed everywhere. It happens that the prince is in charge of this area. Every time he is busy late at night, I feel very distressed when I look at it."

Wang Wan understood in seconds, and glanced at the fourth princess, only to hear her say again: "There are so many businesses in this world, if everyone is like Mrs. Xue, there is no need to worry."

Wang Wan swallowed her saliva, looked at the fourth concubine again, and said softly after a long while: "Your Majesty, the women have a way, which can relieve your empress' urgent needs."

The fourth concubine's eyes flashed with joy, she hurriedly said: "Madam, if you have a way, just tell me." It seems that what Mr. Cui said is really good, this woman has a flexible mind and really knows a lot about making money.

Wang Wan coughed lightly, and then said: "Businessmen value profits, and most of the money in this world is in the hands of businessmen." She glanced at the fourth princess, and said: "But businessmen are cheap, the richer they are, the more they care about it." Fame and fortune, for this name, this money is not so important."

The fourth concubine frowned and said: "You mean to give fame to the merchant?" Then she raised her eyebrows and said: "How can this be done?"

"Of course." Wang Wan shook her head hastily, wiped off the cold sweat that was missing from her brow, and said, "Even if my lord gave me great courage, I wouldn't dare to bring up the matter of selling officials and nobles in front of my lord."

The fourth princess nodded, she also felt that she didn't have the guts.

Wang Wan twitched her lips, and then said: "We can let merchants from all over the country donate money, erect monuments in the disaster-stricken areas, engrave the donation merchants and the amount of money donated on the stone monuments, in this way, merchants will get a name, and the common people will get benefits. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

The fourth concubine thought for a moment before saying: "This is also a good idea."

Wang Wan talked a little more with her, and then left. After leaving the palace, Wang Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she said that she didn't like dealing with the royal family, and she was tired of talking.

The invitation to the palace seemed to pass so easily this time, but Wang Wan did not expect that the follow-up would make her tireless.

The Wang family sent someone first, and although Wang Wan was a little puzzled, she also followed. The prince who never liked her very much stayed at home and received her very warmly. His attitude was so good. expected.

When the old lady saw Wang Wan, she couldn't hide her joy at all, and said: "My son, come quickly to mother." She patted the soft couch beside her and said, "Come, sit here .”

Wang Wan was also happy in her heart, and said: "Mother's body looks strong."

"It's all good." As he said that, he took Wang Wan's hand and said, "My son is promising." Looking at Wang Wan's face, he said, "I heard that the fourth princess kept you and said something good." Let's talk about it."

Wang Wan glanced at Shi Shi again, she understood, and said: "It's just a random talk." She couldn't tell others that the princess wanted money, so she was left to talk.

"That's amazing." The old lady stared, looked at Wang Wan and said: "The princess has a high status, you have no rules when you speak, so don't offend the princess."

"Don't worry, mother." Wang Wan waved her hand and said, "Mother, what kind of identity am I, why don't you understand?" She cast a reproachful look at the old lady, and then said: "I went to enjoy the flowers that day. Which of the people here is not a noble lady from the Hou family, and I am not familiar with them, so I ate snacks at the gazebo by myself with a plate."

"Idiot, idiot!" Before she finished speaking, the old lady slapped the kang table angrily, and said with hatred: "You also said how many noble ladies of the noble family that day, you should have a good relationship with them, Those who talk and recite poems can get acquainted with each other and get to know each other in the future, so there will be a relationship."

"Sister, what mother said is true." Shi Shi also said: "This relationship is also out of love, when can we not eat dim sum?" She was quite speechless, and said: "Although the fourth prince is not as favored as the third prince, But after all, he is also the son and grandson of the prince, not to mention the son of the eldest son." If this caught the eyes of the princess, wouldn't the master be able to get in touch with the fourth prince.

The old lady can't wait to beat up her restless daughter. At least the princess left her alone in the end. It can only be regarded as a fool's blessing. The old lady Wang has no choice but to comfort herself like this, and she doesn't want to say that it's boring I had no choice but to say: "How long has it been since you saw your sister?"

Wang Wan frowned and said: "Not long ago, I saw my sister when I sent Xuan'er out of the city." Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry again, she hurriedly said: "My good mother, you can save yourself, first, it's Bao girl's birthday. If you offended the old lady Jia, if you often go to see my sister, maybe the old lady will be angry, and it will not be difficult for my sister."

The old lady just gave up, sighed after a long while, and said: "Your sister is not easy, the Zhang family is powerful, and the mother-in-law has to avoid the edge for a while. After all, your sister has been wronged." She sighed, He said again: "The eldest girl has entered the palace now, and she is a lucky person. Your sister's blessing will be in the future."

Wang Wan could only nod her head and said, "What mother said is true."

The old lady looked at her and said again: "The big girl is also your niece after all, so please help if you can."

Wang Wan paused, nodded, but did not speak.

Shi Shi took a look at Wang Wan, and quickly smiled and said: "Mother's words are outrageous, isn't she? Dear niece, sister, won't she help." He said with a smile: "There is another thing to say, mother Maybe it’s not worth it.”

"Oh? What's the matter?" The old lady asked with a smile on her face.

"It's Brother Feng, he seems to be old now." Shi said with a smile.

"Who are you looking at?" The old lady cheered up and smiled when she heard what she said about Sister Feng.

"Hey, Feng girl has been raised by my side since I was a child, and she treats everyone as my own daughter. She doesn't think it's appropriate for anyone." She said happily: "I saw my eldest sister a few days ago, and she told me something. As for a good marriage, I think it’s also good, the right family and we have known each other since we were young, isn’t it a very good marriage.”

The old lady frowned and thought about it, but she still didn't understand.

Shi clapped his hands and said happily, "Look at the old lady, I can't remember it now." He pursed his lips and smiled, "It's Brother Lian from the eldest family of Jia's family. He is two years older than Brother Feng. , we have known each other since we were young, Brother Feng is not afraid of being bullied when he marries into the Jia family, and the eldest sister can also have someone to help her?"

The old lady was obviously also very happy, but she thought more, and only worried: "This marriage is good, but can she be happy with Mrs. Zhang?" The more she thought about it, the more unlikely it was, she shook her head, and said: "Originally Mrs. Zhang doesn't deal with your eldest sister, can she let Brother Feng be his daughter-in-law?!"

Shi Shi obviously didn't have such worries, and seemed to have a plan in mind.
