Chapter 155: people on the roof
The front door of Wen's house was bustling with activity as people who had gone to the palace returned.
Wen Yu ordered Laba and Xiaoji, Laba went to keep an eye on Yuanshi, and Xiaoji asked for Mrs. Wen's message.
Wen Qian and Yuan returned to the house.
“Are you tired today?” he asked Yuan in a soft voice, observing her expression secretly.
Yuan's expression was not as calm as usual, and her eyes were bright: "It's okay to be tired. However, I really didn't expect to be in such a situation."
Sitting there, the girl took off her jewelry. She told her husband what happened today in detail.
But she didn't say how she responded to the situation, quickly changed her mind, and made good use of this opportunity.
Concealed his hopes for Prince Wu's Mansion.
Also ignores the influence of Wen Yu, but focuses on describing the response in front of the Queen and the maintenance of several important surrounding relationships.
“I feel that the road has suddenly opened up a lot. You can imagine that there will be a lot of posts in the past two days. I still need to discuss with my husband who to go to and who to invite!”
"You can decide these things! You'll be fine!"
"You can't say that!" Yuan said proudly: "There are many things that we didn't expect. For example, we didn't prepare. It's Chinese New Year and we wanted to treat guests, but we didn't have time to prepare."
“As time goes by, take your time!”
“How are you doing there?” Yuan asked.
Wen Qian also told what happened when he saw Qi Wu on the field. Somehow, he didn't get the emperor's summons and he didn't feel good about himself.
Yuan was a little awkward when she heard Qi Wu, so she didn't hear what her husband was hiding. She was immersed in her own thoughts.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Wen Qian was called over by Mrs. Wen.
Yuan called Wen Huan over.
Wen Jiao, on the other hand, was pulled by Mrs. Wu and insisted on letting her talk about the affairs in the palace in detail.
As a result, Wen Jiao was impatient: "Mom, we'll talk about it later." She didn't even bother to show off to Wen Wan and Wen Su, and ran directly to Wen Yu's room.
“You have been taken advantage of by their mother and daughter!” Wen Jiao said angrily. She didn't have the Yuan family and Wen Huan, but she also understood: Wen Huan was much more popular than herself.
She took the initiative to attract people's attention and talk to them, but she was no stronger than Wen Huan.
“I never knew they were so thick-skinned! One is pretending to be your mother, and the other is acting out the drama of sisterly love. Ugh! Disgusting!”
At that time, she was really angry, but she didn't dare to make trouble on the spot.
As Wen Yu listened, his face was a little solemn, but his heart was even more solemn.
She didn’t expect that Qi Wu’s appearance would be so ostentatious and cause such a big stir...
Yuan Shi is a master who is willing to give up everything for the sake of profit.
As for Wen Huan, her marriage originally made her jealous. And the repeated stimulations these days have aroused her irresistible desire to win.
Originally, I was waiting for them to make a mistake on their errand...
But through this, if they can gain benefits openly and openly.
Then I will really make wedding clothes for them.
“Don’t be angry first, talk to me carefully.”
“Sister!? I’ve been talking for a long time, but you didn’t listen!”
“Listen! Third sister, of course I don’t want them to get the glory for nothing, but what can I do?”
“Didn’t you say last time that Wen Huan wanted to settle the Li family?”
“The Li family was good to begin with! Maybe they have a higher vision now and have changed their minds!”
"Yes, that's right...after today, I'm definitely more dissatisfied!"
“Maybe?! But if you don’t accept it, what can you do?!”
"Isn't this simple? When we entered Beijing, the eldest aunt kept looking calm. Wen Huan is very scheming! Maybe she just wanted to find an opportunity to mess up your marriage. But now, because of you, they even summoned the Queen to talk Oh! What an honor! So many people are watching!
So, they are going to take advantage of you! Otherwise, with Wen Huan's **** virtue, how could it be possible that the eldest sister is taller and the eldest sister is shorter, and all of them have good things to say about you? "
"Third sister, you are quite smart! You are no worse in appearance than Wen Huan. Why do you think no one seems to be paying attention to you? Oh, I forgot, she has been here for so long, she may know a lot of people!"
"What?! Who is your father? My father's official position is not even high enough for the sixth rank. If it weren't for the uncle, none of us would be able to go to the palace." Wen Jiao was really depressed.
"Same. Third sister, we both have a hard life. You are the second uncle with a low official position, and the second aunt has no official title. As for me, it's the same as not."
"But your marriage is so wonderful! Sister... In the past, I was young and ignorant. Don't blame me." Can Wen Jiao say such a thing? !
Wen Yu looked at her carefully. Wen Jiao might not be used to expressing herself like this, and her face turned red.
It seems that she can lower her head even under the eaves.
"How can you blame me? Third sister has a straight temper, I already knew it."
"Yes, I have a straight temper. Alas..." Wen Jiao actually sighed, "My grandmother used to like me the most, and my mother was the head of the family. She was the first to get everything, even my eldest brother. I always thought: I Better than you and Wen Huan!
Especially you...I didn't take it seriously at all. I never thought you were so capable. Even my mother suffered a big loss when she faced you! "
“Third sister, the second aunt is not the one who suffered the loss because of me. It was her fault in doing things that made my grandmother and second uncle angry.”
“I know. You see, she has lost a lot of weight recently. Her father and she are always in a bad mood!
"Your father's official position is not high, and he is divorced from her. When he arrived in the capital, the eldest lady suppressed her easily. So it's hard for her! I heard that the kitchen will be handed over to the second aunt. Take your time. In the future, maybe Will be fine."
Wen Jiao did not answer the words, but thought to herself: "Sister, I have a bad face, bad words, and I like to criticize others. That mother and daughter are not like me! They pretend on the surface, but secretly It’s so cruel! Sister, don’t be careless.”
“Third sister, haven’t you changed too much?” Wen Yu felt funny.
"I'm serious. Although your marriage has been decided, it's probably not that easy to get married. You don't know, today, a Qiwu young master, even the queen and several empresses, called us in There are a lot of people around. I heard that there are several princesses who are not engaged! They are trying to rob you, and you have no place to hide!"
“Thank you, Third Sister, for reminding me! I appreciate your kindness.”
“…Sister, what do you think I should do?”
“You really want to hear it?”
"yes!"
“Let nature take its course!”
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is that you only take what the Wen family provides you. Don't compare with me, and don't compare with Wen Huan. Grandma loves you, and you can get the glory of my father. Your second uncle has an official position, and your mother There is a dowry. You will definitely get a stable marriage."
Wen Jiao disagreed: "Everything you said is for sure! There's nothing special about it!"
“Then what do you want?”
"Of course I want to move up high!" Wen Jiao said, her face turning red again, "I can't be too bad if my eldest sister marries into the Qi family! Otherwise, we won't be able to move around in the future, right!?"
Smiled Wen Yu and thought: She still hasn’t changed!
“That’s it, then let me help you think about it.”
…
In the old lady’s room, Wen Qian told his mother everything about today.
Also said…his premonition.
Old Mrs. Wen was happy and clasped her hands together, "Originally, I entered the palace just to open my eyes. But I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, good, good, good!"
Wen Qian thought silently for a while and then said softly: "Mother, I didn't tell Mr. Xi about the emperor's summons..."
“What’s the matter?! How can she be upset after hearing such a good thing?”
“Not really. It’s just that it takes too much effort.”
"Hmph! It's about your future, the future of the Wen family. Do you still care about her emotions? Didn't she take advantage of Wen Yu today? Why didn't you look at me in front of me!? Although she put me in front, she also You didn’t step back. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?”
“Mother, my son doesn’t want to deal with such things all the time. Just know it!”
The old lady listened and said in her heart, "Well, you are right to think so! Women, sometimes they are so jealous! The Wen family and the husband's future are not as important as her vanity! In this regard, a wife is comparable to Not your mother!"
Wen Qian smiled and nodded.
Mother and child are in harmony.
“What’s even more ridiculous is that she clearly took advantage of it, but she still doesn’t admit it! She doesn’t acknowledge others’ good deeds!”
“Mother, please stop saying this all the time.”
Mrs. Wen didn't want to make her son unhappy, so she quickly said: "Mom knows your abilities. Our family can't give you much support in the officialdom. You left a good impression on the emperor today, not to mention that the emperor will think about it in the future. When your colleagues see something good, they will think of you."
Wen Qian nodded.
Yuan Shi and Wen Huan expressed satisfaction with today's adaptability and the results achieved. Princess Wu was also analyzed, and in the end, the two felt very hopeful.
The biggest goal is still the same: to enter Prince Wu’s Mansion!
