Fan Xian suffered from the pain, with a bitter face, stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick his skinned lips, and suddenly found a touch of sweetness, only then did he realize that all the anger Wan'er had been holding back these days erupted in this bite . He considered his words carefully, and said carefully: "I don't want to say anything else, I just feel... you've been working hard these days."
Lin Wan'er rolled over in his arms, and said vaguely, "Why is it so hard?"
"I don't have time to accompany you." Fan Xian thought for a while and said, "Now that my younger sister and younger brother have arrived in Beiqi, and Ye Linger is married again, it is impossible for Roujia to play with you...Leaving the capital, going down to the south of the Yangtze River, here Suzhou, you probably don’t have anyone around you who can speak your own words, and besides, these are all unfamiliar places.”
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Wan'er's big eyes were filled with mist, and she sighed softly: "You are a... If you say you don't have any heart, you know this, if you say you have heart, how can you bear to treat me like this. "
Fan Xian felt a little cold when he heard this, coughed twice, and asked, "How did I treat you again?"
"Is this all you want to say?" Lin Wan'er looked into his eyes seriously.
Fan Xian nodded after thinking for a while.
Lin Wan'er sneered and said: "I'm starting to be shameless again. I told you in the capital before that I won't stop you from what you want to do... Anyway, what this woman said doesn't have much strength in the first place. I just hope you can be more honest. Tell me before things happen, even if I am useless now, I am still the eldest daughter-in-law of your Fan family, and you must not hide some things from me."
"Where did this go?" Fan Xian was a little annoyed, "Why can't I be so self-pitying and self-pitying, the Wan'er I like is a gentle and mischievous girl..."
He stopped talking halfway, but Wan'er smiled sweetly and said softly, "Why don't you continue to teach me a lesson?"
Fan Xian coughed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't intend to say anything else today."
"Oh, really?" Lin Wan'er sighed, and said, "Then when will you tell me about Miss Haitang?"
After a moment of silence, Fan Xian said: "It's different, it's different." After saying this, he tightly hugged Wan'er who turned over and went over in a fit of anger, and gently scratched her soft waist with one hand. She blew into her ear and said, "It's been more than ten days since we separated, why talk about that?"
If it was Haitang, or a girl like Ruoruo who had been influenced by Fan Xian's modern feminism, she would have kicked Fan Xian under the bed long ago.
It's just that although Wan'er grew up in the palace, she was full of delicateness and profoundness, but she was born in the matter of men and women, and received the most traditional education. She said in a muffled voice: "The girl's identity is different. It's already troublesome, but you still act on your own, and you don't know what will happen in the future."
Fan Xian didn't relax when he heard this seemingly acknowledgment, instead he felt a little apologetic. It seems a lie for a man, especially a man, to say that he is not in love with so-and-so, but it is even more false to say that he will be in love with so-and-so all his life and never look sideways.
Appreciating jade on the east mountain, watching the sunset on the west mountain, and doing different things in different places, no one wants to deceive themselves and brainwash the world.
"But you stay at home every day and no one plays mahjong with you. It's really boring." Fan Xian didn't want to continue with that question, because he suddenly discovered that Haitang's position still falls on friends after all. He may not be willing to marry into the Fan family, why should he worry about these things in advance, why should his wife be troubled and slightly sour.
"Women in the palace... It's not the same, they just mess around like this." Fan Xian's words touched the real weakness deep in Lin Wan'er's heart, and she couldn't help sighing.
She grew up in the palace since she was a child. Her mother was the eminent eldest princess of the dynasty, and her father was the majestic Lin Xiangye. Unfortunately, she was in the Changsuo Palace, and her parents had never seen each other. She was raised by the women in the palace. She is smart by nature and grew up in such an environment. Not to mention Bingxue is smart, at least she has a clear understanding of the obstacles in the power field. She believes that her abilities should have played a greater role.
It's just that on the one hand, because of the eldest princess's relationship, Lin Wan'er is a little disgusted with manipulating plots, and is willing to be calm; secondly, because of the hostile relationship between her husband and mother, it is impossible for Wan'er to find a suitable place to shine.
This was something Fan Xian had discussed with her a long time ago.
If a person cannot find his place in the surrounding environment, he will eventually feel a sense of loss. If she was just an ordinary woman, then it would be fine to take care of the housework, honor her parents-in-law, serve her husband-in-law, and raise her children, but Lin Wan'er's background determines that if she continues to be so ordinary, she will always have some regrets in her heart. Many people who have met their eyes have already begun to shine around Fan Xian.
At a certain point, Lin Wan'er was ready to accept her fate. She was going to hold on to the good memories of having a son over the wall, and try to give birth to a child for Fan Xian, so that she could keep her husband's heart by her side. That's why she took the odd risk and stopped He took the medicine prescribed by Fei Jie.
Fan Xian is a slender and sensitive person, of course he knew the deep meaning of his wife's actions, and of course he knew what the faint sadness between his wife's brows in the past few months was, but...he has never found a good solution.
Fan Sizhe's ideal in life is Shang, so Fan Xian can kick him to the north to smuggle; Ruoruo's ideal in life has been nurtured by Fan Xian, so Fan Xian can use all means to send her to Kuhe's family, To travel thousands of miles, to see different people; but Wan'er... her identity is different, she is her own wife, her life ideal... or more generally speaking, what kind of path should she seek to realize her value
The Chunwei case, as well as some previous and subsequent affairs, made Fan Xian clear that Wan'er's strengths are actually in the palace, and she can indeed help him a lot in terms of planning, but the problem is that at present, he and Xinyang are in dire straits. Maybe Wan'er is stuck in the middle
Fan Xian sighed, and said, "If there is a day when there will be a battle of swords in the future, I really don't know how to deal with it."
Such a naked conversation is rarely involved between the husband and wife, and they have always avoided it. After Lin Wan'er was silent for a long time, she said, "You know, I don't have much affection for my mother...but she is my mother after all."
"I understand." Fan Xian pressed his nose and nose to her hair, took a deep breath, "Trust me, at least I won't make you sad."
Will anyone believe this sentence
Fan Xian suddenly smiled and said, "Wan'er, it's really boring to stay at home all the time... I want you to help with some things, but it may be more laborious."
Lin Wan'er opened her big eyes curiously, turned around to meet him face to face, and said, "What's the matter?"
With soft fragrance in his arms, Fan Xian put his arms around his wife, couldn't help rubbing the plump place twice, and said with a smile: "You also know that I am a rich man."
"That's right." Lin Wan'er couldn't help laughing, and knocked down the thief's hand with a slap.
Fan Xian said solemnly: "When I went to Jiangnan for the first time at the beginning of the year, I found that although Jiangnan is rich, there are still many people who don't have enough clothes and food to eat. You see, even Jiangnan is like this, let alone Jiangbei. , and the flooded people in the middle reaches of the river don’t know how to survive.”
Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Didn't you say that the money searched in the inner treasury has already been transferred to the governor's office of Heyun?"
"That's only part of it." Fan Xian said after thinking for a while, "You know the affairs of the court better than I do. Few of those officials can trust me. What goes away will go away... Not to mention anything else, at least my Fan family, Liu's family, and even the palace will have something to eat from this money, so I think... some things are more convenient for us to do ourselves."
"whats the matter?"
"Jiangnan is really rich, and those wealthy businessmen can afford tens of millions of taels." Fan Xian sneered, "But there are still so many poor people... This is a problem of inequality."
He continued to sigh: "I have no ability to change this phenomenon, so I have to find some middle-of-the-road methods to improve it."
"You mean..." Lin Wan'er wondered what her husband was thinking, and said hesitantly, "Are you planning to rob the rich and give to the poor?"
Fan Xian laughed out loud, he didn't expect that his noble wife could use the gangster's language that is common in the scriptures, and couldn't help scratching her pretty nose.
Wan'er stuck out her sweet tongue and giggled.
…
…
"But... is it really robbing the rich and helping the poor?" Fan Xian said seriously after thinking for a while: "My idea is this, anyway, after scraping so much money from the internal treasury and officials, I have to find a way to spend it. , our family can’t run out of money. As I said earlier, if I don’t want to go through the road of the imperial court, how can I use this money for the common people?”
Lin Wan'er hummed, and said: "In the past, it was common to open a porridge shop. I learned how to be good at it. I remember when I was a child, there was a disaster in the north, and the people fleeing famine flocked to the capital. Several ministers in the court asked His Majesty to send troops to suppress these desolate people. They were driven to the nearby counties, but the emperor's uncle did not agree to the proposal. Instead, he withdrew those ministers and opened the imperial warehouse... When the porridge was given out that year, the old queen mother took us inside the palace These few are obsessed with spoons."
Fan Xian nodded. He had heard the story. The emperor was not an idiot, so he naturally knew how to deal with it. He said, "It's not enough to put porridge temporarily, and it's hard to promote the practice of goodness, so I decided to remit the money I earned. Into a special institution, and then do good deeds for many years."
Lying in the thin quilt, he waved his hand and said: "The poor students have no money, so they can study in our schools; Let’s do what the imperial court didn’t expect to do.”
Seeing his confident expression, Lin Wan'er became excited, but immediately said with a wry smile: "Fool, do you know how much money this will cost?"
"Isn't earning money just spending it?" Fan Xian said with a smile: "Anyway, what I earn is also the money of the court and merchants, and the court and merchants scrape money from the people. The so-called take it from the people and use it Yu Min, that’s the truth.”
Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up when she heard the words "take it from the people, use it for the people", and said: "This is new, but... makes sense."
Fan Xian looked down at his wife's adoring expression, but for some reason he thought of last year in the Northern Qi Shangjing Imperial Palace, when the Northern Qi Emperor and Begonia Duoduo heard himself shouting, "Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later." I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at the scene at that time.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wan'er then seriously shook her head and said: "It still won't work. Not to mention that this is a bottomless pit, no matter how much you invest, you may not be able to fill it up. You should think twice about the influence of this matter. It’s very taboo for you to grab it and do it.”
After thinking about it for a while, Fan Xian came up with an idea: "Can't you keep your name?"
Lin Wan'er gouged him out, and said like a fool: "If you don't name your name, how can such a big scene be spread out? You don't just want to save the people of a county and a state... If you don't know that you presided over the good deeds, those places When the officials saw this piece of fat, they had to eat it quickly? So the signature must be signed."
Fan Xian thought that this was indeed the truth, but it was a bit difficult to sign the name without making the court angry.
Lin Wan'er suddenly said: "You said... How about doing this matter in the name of the palace? In the name of the empress dowager, the nobles in the palace don't need to pay anyway, let's pay the money and let them bear the name." Your Majesty must be happy with the face of the imperial court and the face they have gained."
Fan Xian was startled, seeing Wan'er remained silent for a long time, and thought to himself that this is indeed the truth, and it would be much easier to implement it if the nobles in the palace came forward, so this...isn't this the so-called charity association that I often saw in my previous life ? It's just that the beginning of the Qing Dynasty must be rough, but now that there is a beginning, there will always be some improvement in the lives of the people.
Lin Wan'er became interested, and continued to suggest ideas: "But no matter how rich you are, you can't afford such troubles. I think it's better to save the emergency and not the poor... The real focus should be on reading and disaster relief, the daily things to do..."
Halfway through, she stopped, and Fan Xian also stopped. The two looked at each other, and then laughed in unison, with a hint of embarrassment and self-mockery in their smiles.
What should be done, how can people in Qingguo and even the world live better? This couple is born with a golden spoon in their hands. How can they know the details? It is just a general discussion. When it comes to specifics, the couple will only go around in circles about reading and serving porridge.
After laughing for a while, Fan Xian said earnestly: "We still have to do it. There are always people who understand these things. Yang Wanli was born in a poor family. When the matter of the embankment eases up, call him to Beijing to talk about it."
His mind flashed through the reforms in his previous life. Although young crops and the like looked bright, Fan Xian knew that he didn't have the ability to change the general situation, so he thought that he had to mend it, although it was trivial, although it couldn't be changed. Too much... But it can make people's lives easier.
Even a little bit, this thing can still be done.
Anyway, Fan Xian didn't need to bother, he just needed to spend some money.
"I'll leave this to you." Fan Xian looked at Wan'er with a smile.
Wan'er was taken aback, and said, "Why do you leave such a big job to me?"
"I don't worry if you do things." Fan Xian said with a smile: "Besides, if you don't come forward, how can you manage it if you want to get the nobles and ladies in the palace to buy shares. Women do things, and they have to bear less risk than me... Don't say you won't do it."
"Ken!" Lin Wan'er was very excited when she heard that, she finally had something to do, so she would not miss this opportunity.
The husband and wife spoke a few more words, and prepared to do it after some time. During this time, Fan Xian inevitably said a few more beautiful words, such as teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. Wan'er was shocked again and again. The couple talked non-stop, but they lost sleepiness.
"How long have you been preparing for this?" Lin Wan'er buried her head in his arms and asked in a low voice.
Fan Xian slipped his tongue for a moment: "It's been half a year."
Lin Wan'er looked at Fan Xian's pretty face, and felt a trace of warmth deep in her heart. She knew that most of the reason Fan Xian did this was for herself.
In fact, from Fan Xian's point of view... he really did this for Wan'er.
It's just that the husband and wife on the bed at this time did not expect such an organization to appear in the world on a whim. Later, because Fan Xian controlled too many resources and relying on Wan'er's ability, they gradually broke away from their original organization. The idea gradually evolved into an organization that no one could predict, which brought many benefits to the world and to Fan Xian himself.
"Don't put so much money in one place." Lin Wan'er blinked her long eyelashes, and said seriously: "Although I don't know much about economic affairs, I can understand from what you and Sizhe have done that money is Can make money."
Fan Xian nodded. Naturally, he wouldn't suffer himself by doing these things. The second child earns money in the north, while Shi Chanli and Sang Wen do skin and meat business in the south. After the bank's large fortune is reaped in the future, it will naturally become living water. source of. Seeing that Wan'er returned to a clear mind and became excited after knowing that this girl had something to do, Fan Xian was also extremely happy. The thing he had thought about for so long finally had the desired effect. What made him most happy was that, With such an interruption, the short stories of those parents may fade away.
Unexpectedly, the unsatisfactory things in the world are always nine out of ten.
Lin Wan'er bit her lip and said, "But you haven't answered me what you said earlier."
Fan Xian was taken aback, smiled, hugged her in his arms and said vaguely, "Don't worry, there will never be such a thing again."
It's still the old saying, who can believe a man's words? Sure enough, Lin Wan'er didn't quite believe it, she glanced at the outside, and said softly: "Although Sisi came in, she didn't have a formal schedule, and she would always be wronged. I have already told my grandma, and I will make arrangements in a few days." one time."
Fan Xian laughed and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, she grew up with me since she was a child, so she probably doesn't care about it."
The husband and wife spoke very softly, but at this moment, Sisi coughed from the small bed in the outer compartment, and the cough was full of shame and annoyance.
Lin Wan'er looked at Fan Xian and said with a giggle, "Did you hear that? Who said you don't care?"
Fan Xian patted her butt in embarrassment, and said, "Usually this big girl sleeps like a pig, why did she wake up so startled today?"
Speaking of sleeping like a pig, Lin Wan'er immediately remembered that Siqi, who entered Fan's mansion with her, was also her close maid who was fascinated by Fan Xian every day in the other courtyard. He frowned and said, "What about Siqi?"
Looking at Wan'er's expression, Fan Xian understood that the head wife desperately wanted his big girl to join in, but Fan Xian was really afraid of these things, so he begged for mercy and said, "Let's get rid of it, it's not a night to be a husband." Seven times."
Wan'er glanced at him resentfully.
After a lot of tossing, the husband and wife were finally tired. Fan Xian hugged his wife contentedly, and whispered in her ear, "I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
Lin Wan'er said in a daze, "This Danzhou city is not big, I've already visited it all...where else should I go?"
※※※
Leaving aside the one-day trip to Danzhou by Fan Xian and his wife, after all, he has been busy for a long time after returning to Danzhou. Fan Xianguang has to receive acquaintances from previous years. In addition, on a certain day, it was finally presided over by the old grandmother. The big girl Sisi who had an accident with Fan Xian on the big river boat was finally taken into the room without any accidents. It's just that the girl Sisi is used to serving Fan Xian. For a while, I still couldn't accept this change of role, and the whole person seemed a little confused and at a loss.
For this point, everyone has long been mentally prepared. Sisi grew up with Fan Xian since childhood, and they have a very good relationship. Many servants in the mansion still remember that the twelve-year-old Fan Xian, in order to stand up for Sisi, The housekeeper who came from Kyoto was all over his face.
The housekeeper left after being humiliated, but he never heard the news and did not know where he went.
Moreover, after Fan Xian went to the capital, Danzhou got the news of his marriage, and the ancestors sent Sisi to the capital. Who knows the hidden meaning? Everyone in the two houses in Danzhou, Kyoto knew that one day Sisi would move into the house, but after it finally happened, the maids in the Earl's Mansion congratulated Sisi, but they still couldn't help being a little envious and jealous.
The old lady sealed a big red envelope for Sisi, and spoke softly for a while, Miss Sisi was crying, her eyes were red, and even Wan'er was wiping away her tears.
In the early morning of the second day, the back door of Fan Mansion was opened with a creak, and Fan Xian sneaked out of the door holding Sisi's hand. He looked back at the girl with red and swollen eyes like peaches, and said amusedly, "Did I bully you or what?"
Sisi choked and glared at him, anyway, she was the one who dared to be the same as Fan Xian in this house anyway. Looking at the rising fog and the quiet road in Danzhou, she couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, where are you going?"
Look, the name still cannot be changed.
Fan Xian grabbed her hand and felt a little exciting, like having an affair, but he only entered the room openly yesterday... From this, it can be seen that a man is indeed a cheap animal.
A gentle smile flashed across his face: "Let's go buy tofu."
