Seeing Mrs. Wen's words condensed, Mr. Wen reprimanded him again, "At such an age, you should carefully think about what you can say and what you can't say before you speak!"
The fact that Mr. Wen didn't show his wife's face in front of his son was actually because an official who flattered him gave him a young and beautiful girl, and his old lady was probably very old and knocked her down. Jealousy jar, no matter what he said, he wouldn't let the little girl in, and he was secretly annoyed with the old woman.
Mrs. Wen was sarcastically ridiculed by her old man, and the old man blushed, secretly annoyed that this old man didn't save face in front of his son.
But he still did not forget to retort: "How can the Lin family be compared with the Empress Dowager? What is the identity of the Empress Dowager? She is also a serious elder of Princess Tiangui, and Princess Guida had to call her Auntie that day! She This elder can't show his face in front of Princess Tiangui, but the Lin family and Princess Tiangui are of the same generation, so what is there to say?"
Inside and outside the words, Lin Fang, the daughter-in-law, is incompetent.
Old Man Wen only snorted coldly when he heard the words, and didn't intend to speak for the little daughter-in-law.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen felt a little better. She turned around and looked at Wen Shengyi and told her, "Yi'er, you have to teach Lin a lot on weekdays. She is not a lady in the first place. Apart from the smell of copper, she is also a little girl. If you don’t know anything, even if you ask her to do something small, there will be trouble.”
After saying this, thinking that these words might provoke the relationship between the son and daughter-in-law, he added: "Mother, it's not that she doesn't like her, nor is it to blame her, it's just that you have now become the right servant of the Ministry of War. In the future, we will continue to glorify our ancestors. At this time, it is very important to have a good wife who can stand up... "
Wen Shengyi wanted to defend Lin Fang, but was interrupted by Mr. Wen.
"Okay, I didn't call Yi'er here to listen to you rambling about his wife!" Mrs. Wen frowned and interrupted Mrs. Wen's words, "Now we're discussing the Tiangui eldest princess' matter against Yi'er!"
Mr. Wen's words concealed sharpness, and Wen Shengyi's eyes flashed when he heard the words. Now that he has thought clearly, he plans to listen to his wife first, and stop being so sharp.
Now he has figured out some of Lin Fufu's intentions, in fact, she just wanted to use him to warn the Wen family members severely.
However, he didn't want Lin Fufu to regard him as the first bird in the literary family to stand up.
I had no choice but to make it clear with my parents.
After all, it is very lucky and not easy for him to get to where he is today. Presumably the elder sister can understand her.
He is leaving a retreat for her and His Majesty the Emperor...
Once a decision is made, Wen Shengyi is also a straightforward person. He looked at his father with deep eyes and said seriously: "Father, in fact, Princess Tiangui is not targeting her son, but the son is the most suitable for her to take." It’s all about being a model. She just wants to warn our Wen family not to go too far, whether it’s her marriage or other things.”
As soon as Wen Shengyi's words fell, Mrs. Wen interjected unhappily, "Why does she want to suppress our Wen family? After all, our Wen family is His Majesty's natal family! Since ancient times, whether it is the prince or the emperor , There are countless people who rely on their wives! Otherwise, why did the first emperor make an exception and appoint Yi'er as the right servant of the Ministry of War? Isn't it just to check and balance that girl and the ministers of the court?"
Seeing that the old woman pretended not to understand, Mr. Wen said such a long paragraph, he couldn't bear to despise her and said: "You woman, if you don't understand the affairs of the court, don't talk about the government!"
Mrs. Wen was upset when she saw that Mr. Wen looked down on her. If it was before, she would have endured it.
But now it's different!
Her daughter has become the empress dowager, and her grandson is His Majesty the Emperor. She feels that her daughter crawled out of her stomach, so she is the closest to her. Now she doesn't have to be afraid of this old man!
So, she frowned and asked Mr. Wen in a cold voice, "You said that I don't understand government affairs and don't make irresponsible remarks about government affairs, so tell me where I'm wrong?"
Old Mr. Wen became annoyed when he saw that she was not paying attention to him as a husband more and more. He stood up and slammed the desk, glared at Mrs. Wen and said, "Are you still not convinced? You It is a big mistake to think that the first emperor was just pulling the Wen family to check and balance the courtiers and the noble eldest princess! The first emperor was actually worried about our Wen family! What he was most afraid of was the monopoly of his relatives. You don’t understand this truth? "
Mrs. Wen was taken aback by Mr. Wen's horrific appearance, but she was speechless by what he said, but her old face was full of anger, and she looked at Mr. Wen with angry and angry eyes.
Wen Shengyi didn't say anything when he saw it, but his parents quarreled first, feeling powerless for a while.
My mother used to respect my father the most. My father always said what he said in this family, and she would not refute even a word. Now my mother has changed!
The reason is that the status of the mother has changed now.
"Father, mother, let's stop arguing about this kind of thing." Wen Shengyi resumed the original situation, and comforted Mrs. Wen, "Mother, everything in the backyard depends on you. The son and father are worried! Don't work so hard!"
The son's words naturally soothed Mrs. Wen's heart, at least in her opinion, the son was on her side.
"Okay! I still have a lot of things to worry about, and I can't understand what's going on in the hall, so I won't mess with it!" Mrs. Wen borrowed a donkey to go downhill, then turned her old eyes and stared at Wen Shengyi and said : "Only one thing, I don't care what the two of you have discussed, your position as the right servant of the Ministry of War must be kept for me! If it really doesn't work, let Mrs. Lin go to find Princess Tiangui and cry!"
Wen Shengyi couldn't laugh or cry, but in order to send his old mother away, he had no choice but to smile bitterly.
Mr. Wen didn't bother to talk to her, only watched Mrs. Wen's back disappear, and then uttered eight words coldly: "It's really a woman's opinion! I'm so stupid!"
Wen Shengyi is also helpless. Can Lin Fang change her mind by crying about what Princess Guida decided that day
If so, that would be great, Lin Fang would go to Lin Fufu and cry whenever something happened!
"Tell me, being a father is not a fool, I know you understand it." Old man Wen leaned his back on his back, walked around from the desk to Wen Shengyi, and stood still in front of him, staring at him with a pair of radiant old eyes. Looking at him, "What do you want to do?"
Wen Shengyi didn't expect the old father to ask him what he wanted to do without saying anything, and he was a little stunned for a while.
I was also thinking in my heart whether I should directly tell my old father what he had in mind, but what if the old father disagreed after talking, what should I do if I made my old father angry
Seeing that he was silent for a while, Old Man Wen smiled slightly, "Tell me, what else can you not say in front of my father? My father is not your mother, he has limited vision and can't see the long-term."
Seeing that the old father was expressing his dissatisfaction with his mother in front of him, Wen Shengyi couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
His father is wise and understanding, but at this age, his grandchildren with long hair are all at the age of getting married, but he is still obsessed with women, which makes his mother angry. After being refuted by his mother, he Annoyed his mother again, what should he do as a son
"Okay, don't always be frowning, but because it's about the Lin family?" Mr. Wen's voice softened a little, "Although the father is not as dissatisfied with the Lin family as your mother is, but you are a big man, you can't Indulging in the private relationship between children. Tell me, even if it is about Lin, I will not blame you as a father!"
On the surface, Mr. Wen himself is aloof and arrogant, but in his heart he is very erotic, especially those young girls who are as young as flowers, which are very attractive to him.
Therefore, everyone outside praised him as a decent gentleman, but he knew it in his heart. Now that he saw his son protecting his wife so much, and promised his wife not to marry or accept concubines, he felt a little proud.
What this old man can't do, his son can do, and this son is more promising than his old man, of course he is proud.
Seeing his old father so amiable, Wen Shengyi felt a lot more at ease. After thinking for a while, he told Old Man Wen that the set of eggs that Lin Fang had told him could not be put in the same basket.
"Oh? Eggs can't be put in the same basket. If you drop the basket, all the baskets will be broken..." Mr. Wen murmured, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Can't all eggs be put in the same basket?"
Wen Shengyi saw that his old father could get through at one point, so he nodded with a busy smile.
Old Man Wen raised the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Yes, yes! I was confused because of my father before, and I always wanted to accumulate through drilling to accumulate confrontation..."
He swallowed the last sentence automatically, but Wen Shengyi could understand, "The son didn't think too much about it before, he only thought that the life of the queen mother, orphans and widowed mothers must be difficult, so I hope our Wen family will grow up quickly, To be a powerful backer for the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty! But I forgot that our literary family's foundation is too shallow, and it is impossible to develop the possibility of resisting those forces in a short time!"
Old Man Wen nodded again, his old eyes sparkling, "The most terrible thing is that our Wen family has no money! It is impossible for those old foxes in the court to stand by us without money!"
After saying this, Mr. Wen suddenly looked at Wen Shengyi, "That's it again, Princess Tiangui wants to use you to intimidate the Wen family, so as a father, she must not let her succeed, why don't you Just go and surrender to her, pretending to be different from our Wen family!"
Wen Shengyi was very satisfied with Mr. Wen's decision, but he didn't want to surrender, it was too spineless.
"Father, it's fine to surrender. Even if I surrender now, Princess Tiangui won't trust me just because I belong to the Wen family. Why don't I just pretend to disapprove of some of the Wen family's actions?" That's good." Wen Shengyi thought for a while, and said what was on his mind.
Old Man Wen thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Yi'er, you really have grown up and can be your own!"
Then the thick gray eyebrows frowned, staring into Wen Shengyi's eyes and exhorting: "However, you have to let the Lin family hand over her property to the Wen family to take care of it! Don't touch the dowry she brought, we The scholarly fragrance of the literary family is handed down from generation to generation, so don't do such immoral things!"
If Lin Fang was here, he would have to pooh the old man.
How much was her dowry when she married Wen's family
It's just some jewelry cloth and some good-looking fields from Zhuangzi.
The most valuable thing for her is the hundreds of shops and dozens of workshops in the whole Wei Dynasty in her hands, as well as the large amount of silver stored in the bank.
Wen Shengyi obviously knew this too, and when his old father said this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't Fang'er hand over a quarter of her property to the second brother and the third three months ago?" Brother take care of it? This matter has to be taken slowly, if our Wen family is too impatient and Fang'er notices it, it will be even worse if it gets to Princess Tiangui's side!"
Wen Shengyi had no choice but to say this. In fact, Lin Fang had already sensed that the Wen family was trying to exploit her property, but she swallowed it for the sake of his good looks as a husband.
Seeing that he was protecting Lin Fang again, old man Wen's eyes became complicated. After thinking about it, he explained: "It's Lin who is really capable, and there is no business in her hands that doesn't make money! Your second brother and third brother are now officially taking over. The property assigned by her... This novice has also earned a lot of money, and our Wen family can finally let go of our hands and feet outside!"
Wen Shengyi was startled.
He knew that the properties Lin Fang allocated to his second and third brothers were not the most lucrative, but now that the old father said so, what did his second and third brothers do
They can't kill the chicken to get the eggs to do business things that flow slowly and slowly, right
Thinking of this, he felt a little flustered.
If it's what he guessed, if Fang'er finds out, wouldn't he be furious? Maybe this is going to cause a scandal in front of Princess Tiangui!
Not to mention the eldest princess Tiangui, even his sister-in-law Lin Fen is not easy to mess with!
If they knew that the Wen family was blatantly calculating the new wife's property, would it be okay
"Father, didn't the second brother and the third brother do anything?" Wen Shengyi became more anxious as he thought about it.
Seeing that he was so nervous, old man Wen frowned, and replied in a calm tone: "Don't worry, your second and third brothers know that it is a golden rooster that lays eggs. If you are a father, they will never dare to do that." It's a stupid thing to kill the chicken and take the egg!"
Sure enough, it is Mo Ruofu who knows the son, this old man Wen knows what he is thinking when he sees Wen Shengyi.
Only then did Wen Shengyi feel relieved, and let out a long breath.
Old man Wen looked at him like this, not because the Wen family was dissatisfied with Lin's property, and he was relieved.
But he quickly reminded him, "Yi'er, my father doesn't have the intention to ask Lin to hand over the property under her name. Even if she is really obedient and handed it over, my father is still worried about who will take care of it. After all, except for your second brother and third brother who are a little bit interested in business, no one else in the Wen family can do it! Being a father means that you want to get Lin's property under your name as soon as possible!"
