Chapter 358: Destined
Chapter 358 Destined
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Wen Yu and Zhang Moqing rode in a car, and Qi Wu and Qi Yu followed on horseback.
I’m going to go around Wen’s house first to pick up Wen and pick up beads.
When I arrived, I found a beautiful carriage pulled by a beautiful white horse parked in front of Wen's house.
As soon as their car stopped, Wen Shizhu appeared dressed beautifully.
“Ayu, look at my new car!”
Mr. Hu followed closely behind him, looking at Zhuzhu's happiness, and his expression was also very proud.
Wen Yu felt helpless: Mr. Hu, do you have nothing to do during the Chinese New Year? You're so clingy every day, Master Wen won't drive you away?
How did she know that this piece of dog-skin plaster could not be driven away?
Hunting in a hurry, at most he hid, but he didn't leave either side. Wen Da is so popular that he almost vomits blood...
Sigh, he still showed his love for Zhuzhu in every way... Wen Yu was helpless and a little happy, and with Zhuzhu's pull, he followed her into the new car.
The group arrived at the princess's house. As soon as they got out of the car and before they entered the door, Wen Yu frowned and said to Zhang Moqing and Zhuzhu, "Wen Jiao wants to put on airs for me again today, but don't blame me for not giving her face! Don't hold me back!"
Zhuzhu must have nodded in agreement, wishing she could roll up her sleeves to help.
But Zhang Moqing advised: "You don't understand her yet? She has always been like this. Sometimes I feel that she has changed, and that's just taking advantage of the situation. That's what I think about at the bottom! If you care about her, you are causing trouble for yourself. ”
“Oh, fourth sister-in-law, you are so wise!” Wen Yu smiled.
"If you're celebrating the New Year, just watch her perform! To be honest, the princess: mother! It will be helpful to her marriage, but it won't be what she wants! If she doesn't recognize herself clearly, there will be no good results. ”
“Hmph! I also think that she will have no good outcome.”
Sure enough, the steward asked Wen Yu and they went in together. I met Wen Jiao standing there smiling like a hostess. Seeing Wen Yu and the others, he said reservedly: "Sister, Sister Zhang, Miss Wen, are you here?! Please come in quickly!"
Wen Yu ignored her and walked inside. Entering the hall, he saw Wen Wan smiling and slim, socializing with guests. The Wen family members all came, and Mrs. Wen and the princess sat in the main seats, talking to the people next to them. The old lady didn't hold her neck back, she had a proper smile on her face and her voice was soft. The dress is also relatively low-key.
I have to say that this grandmother is indeed very smart and does not behave like the princess's mother-in-law.
A few people saluted Mrs. Wen and the princess, said a few words, and then Qi Wu and Qi Yu went to the front to find Duanmu. Mr. Hu told Zhuzhu, looked at her again, and then left.
Wen Yu asked in front of the princess and grandmother, and sure enough, his father was not here today. But my grandmother brought my two cheap brothers. After chatting for a while, the princess pulled Wen Yu aside and asked in a low voice: "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is not well?"
Wen Yu whispered: "I went to check on you, and everything is fine!"
"Amitabha!" The princess knew that her son had been very close to her grandson recently, so she became concerned about this. "However, this year, there is no movement at all in the East Palace. There was originally a banquet that was supposed to be held today, but there is no news, and there are starting to be rumors outside."
“His Royal Highness is indeed ill, so it’s normal that the banquet won’t be held. There will always be rumors. They can spread them as much as they like. We won’t talk about it anyway.”
"Yes. However, I heard that the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion was wide open and many people came in." The princess said mysteriously.
Wen Yu nodded to show that he knew. Although Qi Wu has been accompanying her these past few days, he has not stopped receiving all kinds of news. It won’t last long, I still have to write a letter or something…
“After the New Year, will General Duanmu leave?”
"I'm afraid he will have to stay for a while longer. In March, his uncle will come to Beijing. After meeting in the capital, we will decide the next step!"
“That’s not bad, he can stay with you at home. But you have someone to accompany you now!” Wen Yu smiled.
The princess knew that she was laughing at him and didn't care: "He is much calmer than before."
Wen Yu expressed doubts: He dared to hit someone at the emperor's birthday banquet, how much calmer is he? What was it like before?
Suddenly, something happened at the front, and there were people shouting and drums beating. "What's wrong?"
“I don’t know what they are playing! There will be a dance later. It was newly arranged by your second uncle and I. You guys have a good time!”
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Wen Jiao came over and said, "Mother, look at this..." She didn't know what was going on, so she asked the princess for permission.
Wen Yu looked impatient and turned around to leave. Just a few steps out, Guan took Wen Yu and said, "Ayu, I heard that the princess has a good young man, his surname is Liu, his name is Liu Qiming. I saw it when I came in just now! Oops, big He's tall and very impressive. Ayu, can you help your fifth sister?"
Wen Yu nodded: "Third Aunt, you know that I have a good impression of Fifth Sister. I will definitely help you ask. But... to be honest with you, I can only ask. I just don't know if the Liu family will be picky. Third uncle..."
She didn’t have a good impression of that third uncle. She is a concubine, but she is always stingy... a flattering look!
Guan Shi felt a little lost for a moment...
“Third aunt?”
Guan Shi smiled reluctantly: "Third aunt understands. Alas, your grandfather made a lot of promises at the beginning, so the Guan family married me. Although your third uncle and I have always been with your grandfather. Those who manage the family's finances are treated the same as their legitimate sons and daughters-in-law. . But I know they are not the same after all.
Furthermore, your third uncle...I have already figured it out. Therefore, a lot of effort has been spent on nurturing your younger brothers and sisters. Your brothers are doing well in their studies. These sisters have good temperaments and also have some talents. Their dowries are also ready. Third aunt doesn't care about your grandmother's requirements for choosing her grandson's husband. She just wants to find someone who is motivated and has good character. "
“I know, two sisters, you have raised them well...”
The two of them turned to look at Wen Jiao... She was now following a gorgeously dressed woman, and that woman seemed to like her very much.
“I heard that she was a Marquis...”
Wen Yu knew who the person was and didn't answer: "As long as I ask, the princess will definitely not shirk it. I'm afraid that the Liu family has a noble family and will just shirk it without asking the reason. So. , please don’t tell Fifth Sister first, so as not to affect her emotions and worry about gains and losses.”
“Third Aunt, I understand! Please!”
After socializing for a long time, someone finally called us and told us to go to the theater in the Princess's Mansion to watch a dance.
This is the first time Wen Yu has returned to this place. As soon as he enters the door, there is a waist-high screen blocking the door, one side for men and one for women. Walking further inside, there is a stage at the end with a lamp hanging on it and a place for playing and singing.
At this moment, the men's side was full of people, ranging from young men of about 200 to 200 young men. They were talking loudly and laughing, walking back and forth, and it was a complete racket.
Wen Yu also saw gold at a glance and ran back and forth like a butterfly.
Passing by the princess, the princess complained: "These are all his friends! How noisy!"
Wen Yu stood beside her and told the third aunt what she meant.
The princess thought about it: "Your third aunt is quite discerning. That girl Wen Jing is quite generous and good-looking. However, I'm afraid that the Liu family will pick on your third uncle's identity... Liu Qiming's aunt is also here. After a while, , I..." She stopped because Wen Feng was waving to her from the front.
"I'll ask her later!" After saying that, the princess hurried forward.
A feast of music and dancing, with constant cheers and cheers. Everyone opened their eyes and was very excited.
Then everyone was going to eat again. Wen Yu was still thinking about the Song family, so he said goodbye to the princess.
The princess whispered to Wen Yu: "Ayu, I just asked Mrs. Liu, she..." After saying that, she shook her head with a regretful expression.
Although Wen Yu is also sorry, he can understand: it is often the children of educated families who care more about their direct concubines.
When she was watching the dance just now, the third aunt's eyes never left Liu Qiming, and even Wen Yu recognized him. He is indeed a stable and generous young man. She was afraid that the third aunt would get more and more into trouble, so she went to find her after getting the news and told her the news.
Then, I saw the light in Guan’s eyes dimming...
In the car, Wen Yu and Qi Wu sighed: "Some people's fate is destined as soon as they are born. It really can't be changed by your hard work!"
Qi Wu patted her and said, "Don't think so much, we are fine."
