reborn wife

The New Year's Eve of the first year was very different because Wen Zhiru resumed his status as the eldest son of the Wen family.

Wen Zhixu had only one son in Wen's house. Although the old lady was hurt to the bottom of her heart, she still had some regrets. After all, Qian's background and character lay there.

No matter how much she has done to win a good name these years, it is nothing in the shrewd eyes of the old lady.

Now that Zhiru has regained her status as the eldest son, the old lady likes him more and more when she sees his appearance, which is almost like Shen's.

After all, Shen Ruxin was once the only candidate for her granddaughter-in-law, and the dignified and dignified demeanor of a great lady was something that a daughter of a concubine from a small family like the Qian family could not learn.

Because the old lady is in a good mood and her body is naturally refreshed, she ordered Wen Yanfeng to take good care of this new year's festival, not to mention that the corresponding festival gifts are more generous than in previous years, especially to take Zhiru to the ancestral hall in person Offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors of the Wen family.

In Qian's eyes, although she could only agree with a smile, she hated it from the bottom of her heart.

Although Qian Linmo is already a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, but the identity of the Qian family can't compare with the heritage of the century-old scholarly family of the Shen family. In the eyes of outsiders, he just relied on his sister to marry into Wen's mansion as the successor. It is only because of the in-law relationship that he climbed to this position.

Not to mention, this young man won the appreciation of the emperor before the imperial examination at a young age, and he was hand-picked to accompany the son of the virtuous king on a mission to Shanxi to inspect. The future is simply limitless.

So in previous years, the number of people who had already crossed the threshold of Wen's residence and came to congratulate Wen's New Year has more than doubled this year, and the greeting cards sent by young masters of various capitals who wanted to make friends with Wen Zhiru piled up into a hill generally.

These are all the treatment that Zhixu, the only young master of the Wen family, never received.

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

Another thing that makes Wen's house even more beautiful this year is from the Queen Mother.

Every year, the palace will deliberately reward some important officials or generals in the court with some gifts. Although these are nothing more than ordinary items such as gold, silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, it also shows that the Holy Majesty has your place in his heart.

And this year, apart from these usual rewards, there is also a gold hairpin and a pair of gold and jade jewelry heads specially given to Miss Wen by the Empress Dowager.

It is said that I heard that the lady of the Wen family is beautiful and intelligent, and she is very outstanding.

He also specifically ordered to wait for the spring to come, and then enter the palace to thank you in person.

The implication of this is self-evident.

Of course, this honor should naturally fall on the unmarried fourth lady of the Wen family, Zhiyan, the daughter of the Qian family. When he left, he specifically mentioned the name of the third miss, Wen Xi.

In front of her, Qian naturally could only agree with a smile on her face, turned her head, her face darkened, and secretly began to think about how to prevent Wen Pei from leaving Wen's mansion when she entered the palace after the New Year's Eve.

In fact, Mrs. Wen also had some disagreements on this issue of Wen Xie.

Even if she doesn't like Qian's petty appearance, she is still a decent daughter-in-law after all. Wen Zhiyan's family background is much stronger than that of Aunt Gui's concubine Wen.

Entering the palace to meet with the Empress Dowager to thank the Empress Dowager is a small matter, but the problems involved behind it are bigger. Who can't see that the Empress Dowager intends to let the Wen family produce a concubine?

In terms of identity and the face of the Wen family, how could the old lady agree with Wen Xi.

Besides, Mrs. Wen really didn't know about the fact that Wen Xi had pleased Princess Shu Ning at the princess's birthday banquet a few months ago.

After all, most of the big and small matters in the Wen family's backyard are controlled by Mrs. Qian. Even if she fell out of favor during this period of time, Aunt Mei took advantage of the loopholes. Aunt Mei may not take the initiative to tell the old lady when she is in charge.

Now that the empress dowager's old lady's personal nanny mentioned it, the old lady must ask why, and only then did she know about those little episodes that happened that day at the eldest princess's mansion.

Thinking that Wen Xi had such a scheming plan at such a young age, secretly making small tricks to win over the eldest princess, wishing to fly on a branch and marry into the royal family, coupled with Qian's fanning the flames and making side-effects, Mrs. Wen was so angry that she dropped the tea set at that time Wanzhan didn't care that it was still during the New Year's Eve, so he punished Wen Xi and Aunt Gui to kneel in the ancestral hall together.

"A slave is a slave, and the cheap hooves born are not a good thing." Mrs. Wen lost her temper and sent Wen's mother and daughter to the ancestral hall. When she was done, she did not forget to order, "Send two people to watch carefully." Before going to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, don't let her twins have any troubles, and then say that the little girl is in poor health and sick, so she can't enter the palace, and it's the same for Zhiyan to go on her behalf for Xie En's affairs."

Mrs. Qian did not expect this matter to be handled so smoothly, and she was almost happy, but she still looked docile on the surface, "Yes, grandma, don't worry, the granddaughter-in-law will take care of it. It's just that Mrs. Gui is also My dowry concubine, Wen Xie, I have treated that girl as my own daughter since I was a child, although now I am not blessed to serve in the palace, I want to pay attention to her as a good family when I look back."

"Well, it's good for you to have such thoughts. After all, my concubine is also a lady of the Wen family. With my current status in the Wen family, even if I am a concubine, I can't be inferior to others when I get married." Mrs. Wen nodded. But she knew in her heart that what Qian Shi said was just nice. She wanted to say a good marriage to Wen Xie, but she was afraid of having long nights and dreams. Good reason to prevaricate.

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

As soon as Wen Xi was punished, Wen Zhiru naturally got the news soon.

Although he said that he gave Wen Xi a gift and promised to help, but for the time being, he just wanted to spend this new year well first, but he couldn't wait for him to pretend to be indifferent, and the big maid next to Wen Xi quietly sent the note for help Handed over.

Wen Zhiru got the note from Fu Cui in the room, just glanced at it casually, threw it on the candle and burned it.

Forget it, since it is promised to others, we must contribute.

Although he didn't have a good impression of that girl Wen Xi, he still couldn't take advantage of the mother and daughter surnamed Qian.

It was just for a while, not only not to offend his great-grandmother, but also to interfere with Qian Shi and Wen Zhiyan's good affairs, and he didn't think of a very suitable idea.

Just when Wen Zhiru was feeling worried, another letter secretly delivered to him gave him a big reminder.

The person who sent the letter was none other than Mu Yunying, the courtesan of Yunjianmagpie who had agreed with Wen Zhiru a few months ago to help him buy land and mine in Guizhou.
