reborn wife

On that day, before Wen Yanfeng and Wen Zhiru had time to discuss in detail about King Rui's support for the rebellion, it was evening before they knew it.

After all, it was the first day of rushing back home, Wen Yanfeng naturally couldn't keep him talking, the old lady missed her great-grandson, presumably she had already prepared dinner to talk to him.

After dinner, Wen Zhiru was already so exhausted that he fell unconscious on the bed before the maids came to clean up.

This sleep lasted until Si o'clock in the morning of the second day.

Wen Yanfeng had already returned to the residence at this time, and was processing official documents in the study. He was thinking of having lunch before sending Wen Zhiru over to chat about what happened yesterday, when a young servant knocked lightly on the door .

"What's the matter?" Wen Yanfeng's voice was low, obviously expressing dissatisfaction with the sudden interruption.

"Master..." It's not that the young servant didn't hear the displeasure in Wen Yanfeng's tone, he hesitated a little, but after thinking that this matter cannot be delayed, he continued to report respectfully, "Officer Zhao of Xianwang's Mansion brought the New Year's Day He Li has come to the house."

"Officer Zhao of the Prince Xian's Mansion?" Wen Yanfeng was also surprised for a moment.

"Yes, sir. People are still waiting in the front hall!" The young man continued to respond, "It is the rule of the house that if ordinary officials give gifts, they should be dismissed by the porter. So I feel that I need to report to you, Master."

Wen Yanfeng took the gift list from the servant, most of it was just silk cloth and some porcelain decorations, although it was not an antique jade article worth thousands of gold, but the gift also included the best products that Jiangnan Hangzhou Prefecture only tributes to the royal family of the capital every year Longjing before the rain, pure Changbai Mountain wild ginseng tribute from the Jurchen tribe in the capital of Liaodong, and a hard-blooded horse sent by the special envoy of the Western Regions this year, and so on.

In terms of luxury, these are rare treasures that cannot be bought with money.

Since when did King Xian's mansion use such thoughts?

Speaking of it, the virtuous prince Jin Qingyue and himself can be regarded as ministers appointed by the late emperor. It's just that the virtuous prince has devoted his life to martial arts, and he can't understand the intrigue of those civil officials in the officialdom. He has always been very different from himself as a cabinet minister. To and from.

Especially in the past few years when he has been in power, although the virtuous prince admires Wen Yanfeng's talent and learning ability in his heart, he always has some criticisms out of his loyalty to the late emperor.

This made the relationship between the two of them even more unfamiliar. Suddenly, why did they send the steward of his mansion to give them some congratulatory gifts?

Besides, Guanshi Zhao is also an old man of King Xian's mansion. Since he was a child, he has served under the old lady of King Xian's mansion with the old man.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Zhao Guanshi is not only in the palace of the virtuous king, but also has a lot of prestige in front of these officials in the capital.

If it's an ordinary entertainment and gift, just send a smart boy to deliver the things, and it's no wonder that Mrs. Qian has to order his servants to report back to him.

Thinking of this, Wen Yanfeng finally stood up and straightened his clothes, "Go to the front hall and order someone to greet Guanshi Zhao well, and I'll go over right away."

Before stepping out of the room, he thought that this incident was probably related to Wen Zhiru's business trip to Beijing with the son of the virtuous king in the past few months, and ordered, "Go to Luoyingxie and ask the young master to go there too!"

*************************************

On the way to the front hall after receiving the notification, Wen Zhiru was also wondering about the gift from the palace.

Father and Prince Xian have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, but they have almost no contact with each other except for discussing the affairs of the upper court.In the first half of the year, Mrs. Qian used the excuse of her great-grandmother's birthday to throw a big banquet. Almost all the high-ranking officials in the capital came to congratulate her. The antique jade wares were sent back even by the Qian family. It is estimated that the Wen family will have to build another warehouse to store them.Even so, the Xianwang Mansion just sent someone to send a greeting card and some common tonic medicinal materials.

Now that he came to give gifts so formally now, and his father specially notified himself to go with him, could it be that Jin Yihui did something about it?

When the two came to the front hall, the servant had already made tea and served pastries to entertain Manager Zhao.

Manager Zhao also knew the rules, when he saw Wen Yanfeng, he got up and saluted respectfully.

Wen Yanfeng waved his hand politely, "Just passing through the door is a guest, and Manager Zhao doesn't have to be so formal."

"Master Wen, don't bully this slave. This slave is also under the orders of the master. You must personally deliver these congratulatory gifts to Mr. Wen and Mr. Wen."

"It's rare that Prince Xian is so caring."

"If it's the prince's heart, it's better to say it's the heart of the son. More than half of the congratulatory gifts on this gift list were selected by the son himself from the warehouse overnight."

"Oh?"

"The son of the world said that Mr. Wen is the eldest son of the family, and it is the first time to celebrate the New Year in Beijing. He has been away on business for the emperor for the past few days. I am afraid that the things needed for the New Year will inevitably be missed, so I deliberately picked some and sent them. Especially It is the top-quality unicorn jade pillow, which is carved from a whole piece of white marble, which is hard to find in the world. The son of the world said that Mr. Wen often didn't sleep well when he was on business in Beijing. This jade pillow is the most suitable for Mr. Wen's pillow. .”

When Guanshi Zhao said this, Wen Zhiruo certainly noticed that Wen Yanfeng glanced at him meaningfully, which made him feel guilty for a while.

This Jin Yihui, once back in the capital, was so eager to show his favor to Wen Yanfeng and himself, didn't he overdo it?

Wen Zhiru also hurriedly expressed his thanks, "I am truly ashamed to be loved so much by my son..."

*************************************

After finally seeing off Manager Zhao, the servants began to busy count and store the congratulatory gifts from Prince Xian's mansion one by one.

Wen Zhiru was really relieved that Jin Yihui had engaged in such a big battle as soon as he came up, and was about to run away, but was stopped by Wen Yanfeng before he could take a step.

"Zhiru, since Shizi specially prepared these things for you, you can just pick and take what you need."

"Eh...Father, since these congratulatory gifts are sent to the mansion in the name of the palace, they should naturally be handled by you, father, and the child dare not presume."

"It's okay. Not long after you resumed your status as a young master, you should buy more of those clothes, silks, satins, and jade ornaments. Your mother doesn't care about her three illnesses and two disasters these days. It's my father's negligence. But those supplements and medicinal materials Yes, I don’t think you can use it now, so let your great-grandmother make up for it! The rest is up to you to choose for your younger siblings.”

"Yes, everything is according to father's orders."

"One more thing." Wen Yanfeng paused, and took out a greeting card, "I just sent it along with these congratulatory gifts, and this greeting card, the crown prince wants to visit after the year."

pay a visit to?

These words made Wen Zhiru's forehead jump up inexplicably.

Jin Yihui has always respected his father as a teacher. Although Wen Yanfeng didn't say anything, he never gave him any embarrassment in front of outsiders, and he has been taken care of by the court these years.It stands to reason that even if Jin Yihun came directly to Wen's mansion to ask for an interview, it would not be a big deal.Even if he came to Wen's residence specially to discuss with his father the evidence he obtained during the investigation, there is no need for such a formal invitation.

Is it...
