Chen Wenlin asked: "This underground Saburo is scheming, and the eldest brother must be guarded against." ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I know this. Now I haven't stabilized the south yet, and when I get down, it will take me a long time to rule the south, at least three to five years. During this period of time, let Saburo Inoshita be free for a few years, and when my southern part is stable, that is, when I go north and completely exterminate the royal family, then Saburo Inoshita will also be eliminated by me. ”

Chen Wenhui said at this time: "Big brother, I will let you let the royal family of the Wa Kingdom survive for a few more years, anyway, the age of the little Wa King is so young, you can wait a few more years." After you have completely mastered the south, you should not move the north first, but start with a few large islands on the periphery, and wait until these islands are in the bag, and then use troops against the north. At that time, thinking that the little prince had grown up, he would definitely be dissatisfied with the arbitrary dictatorship of his uncle Saburo Inoshita, and they would definitely have infighting. At that time, it was time for the eldest brother to send troops to the north. ”

Bai glanced at his daughter helplessly. This daughter is so smart, she can grasp this kind of national affairs so clearly.

Chen Wenjun pondered for a moment and said, "Little sister's mention is very good, I want to discuss it with my ministers." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded. In the past few years, the eldest brother has gathered some capable people, and he will definitely be able to help the eldest brother plan well.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui was not interested in these anymore, for her, the matter of the future second sister-in-law was more important, she asked her mother: "Mother, is this future second sister-in-law really so good?" Tell me more about it. ”

Chen Wenlin immediately blushed, but he had secretly pricked up his ears, wanting to hear more about his sweetheart. However, this wish was suddenly discovered by his mother, Bai. Bai said, "Meizhen." You're pregnant, you can't work harder, so let's go back and rest. Jun'er, take your daughter-in-law back. Your sister will stay here with me. Lin'er, you've worked hard, go back and rest. ”

Chen Wenjun couldn't hold back a laugh, and hurriedly said goodbye to his mother Bai with Wan Meizhen. Chen Wenlin said with a wry smile on his face: "Mother." The eldest brother has to take care of the sister-in-law. I also have to take care of the affairs of Xinguang City, which is relatively busy. I don't have to do anything here, so I might as well spend more time with my mother and sister. ”

Bai said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Since you know that your sister-in-law is pregnant and needs your eldest brother to take care of her, why don't you hurry up and give your eldest brother help to manage affairs? I don't need you with me. Your sister and I still have a lot to say, and it's inconvenient for you to be here. ”

Chen Wenlin said with a hippie smile: "Why is it inconvenient? It's very convenient. Just let me stay here. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and hugged Chen Wenlin and said, "Okay." Mother told you to go out, so you can get me out quickly. It just so happens that I haven't seen each other these days. I don't know if your kung fu has been put aside, so follow me to practice. ”

When Chen Wenlin heard this, not only could he not stay to listen to his mother talk about his sweetheart, but he also had to be drilled by his eldest brother. A face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and he went out very reluctantly. Leaving Bai and Chen Wenhui laughing non-stop.

In the evening, Chen Wenhui came back from Bai's room. said to Yujin: "It seems that my mother likes this future second sister-in-law very much. Listening to my mother talk about this Miss Mei, I also liked it in my heart. But there is some pity for her. A beauty like her who has both ability and integrity. The official eunuch and noble girl should be the matchmaker to break through the threshold, but because the family did not prepare a decent dowry for her, no one came to the door to propose marriage. Alas, those nobles in the capital are really snobbish. Is it to marry a daughter-in-law or to marry money? ”

Yujin served Chen Wenhui to take off the gold and silver jewelry on his head, and said: "These people are really snobs, they only focus on money and don't look at people, but they have picked up a bargain for our family in vain, our family doesn't care about the dowry, and the lady doesn't even care about the daughter-in-law's background." Only pay attention to character. You see that the eldest and youngest grandmother was born in a businessman, isn't the lady still pampered? ”

Chen Wenhui played with the jade brocade and gave her a jasper hairpin that she took off her head, and said: "Our family will not be like those shallow people in the capital, just staring at the dowry of the daughter-in-law." You see, the sister-in-law's dowry is also too much. But have we reached out? ”

Yujin had already removed all the hairpin rings on Chen Wenhui's head, and was holding a delicate comb for Chen Wenhui's head. On the other hand, he said: "Although the dowry of the eldest and youngest grandmother is large, how can our family touch her dowry?" Our Xiao Chen family is rich in the world, and we donate money to Yangshantang and the hospital every year, and the money of the lady, the girl, and the grandmother are much more than the dowry of the grandmother. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, nodded and said, "This is true." However, our family doesn't care about the amount of the dowry. However, the second sister-in-law is different from the eldest sister-in-law. The sister-in-law and the eldest brother got married in Huzhou. After getting married, he went to Shanghai City with his eldest brother, and later came to Xinguang City. I have never been to the mansion in the capital, nor have I been in contact with the noble ladies in the capital. Therefore, her background is lower, and no one will attack her with this. However, the second sister-in-law is different. She is from the capital, and she must be married to her second brother in the capital. When the time comes, I will definitely go to the mansion. If the dowry is small, won't it be a joke? ”

Yujin thought about it and said, "Oh, I understand, why did Madame quietly take out the money to subsidize Miss Mei, and ask her to buy a decent dowry by herself." This is because she is afraid that she will be wronged in the circle of ladies in the capital in the future, and on the side of the mansion. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Not only am I afraid that she will be wronged, but I am also afraid that people will make this joke about our little Chen family." Mothers are also to be ridiculed. Anyway, our family is not short of money, and my sister-in-law is so reasonable, it is better for my mother to quietly subsidize Miss Mei and buy a decent dowry. Plug the mouths of those people like this. ”

Yujin smiled and said, "Madame is always so thoughtful in her work. Fifty thousand taels of silver was enough to buy a good dowry. Miss Mei is really blessed. ”

Chen Wenhui sighed and said: "It is indeed her blessing that she can get the favor of her mother and the heart of her second brother, but she has suffered too much before." A girl who has no mother is indeed very pitiful. ”

Yujin nodded. Chen Wenhui's hair is already smooth, black and bright, rich, and soft, and it is already waist-length, looking like a waterfall.

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, speaking of which, the dowry of 50,000 taels of silver is not bad. It's a little worse than my sister-in-law. But her background is better than that of her sister-in-law, after all, she is the daughter of an official eunuch. In the capital, a dowry of 50,000 taels of silver is already very good, and back then, Aunt Hu's dowry was 50,000 taels, which was already known as ten miles of red makeup. It's just that silver alone can't buy a good dowry, and some things are hard to find. In my opinion, I still have to prepare some for the future second sister-in-law, otherwise, it will not be good to be looked down upon by those villains in the mansion in the future. There should be a lot of good things in the mother's place, but she has to take care of a bowl of water, not just for the second sister-in-law, but also for the feelings of the sister-in-law. In this way, it is most appropriate for me to give some rare items to my future second sister-in-law. ”

Yujin smiled and said, "The girl is really the best sister-in-law in Da Chu." ”

Chen Wenhui stood up and said, "Don't make fun of me." Go and show me the things we brought, in addition to the things for my mother, for my sister-in-law, for the good spirits, and for the things that my mother brought back to the capital to share with friends, what else did we bring over? ”

Yujin hurriedly went to get a booklet and said, "The catalog of the rest of our things is here." Because we came from a long journey, I prepared an extra 30% of the gifts, thinking that if there were more, I could take them back, but if it was short, it would not look good. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "You are very thoughtful, well, now things are getting more and more orderly." Thanks to the extra stuff you brought. But we don't need to do so much. After all, these things are for Miss Mei to be used as a dowry in the future, and people can't see that they are our family's things. Therefore, don't send the Nanyang things here. Also, what the emperor gave me, everyone knows, can't give it away. And I wore it in the capital, and some of the things I used can't be sent. You can help me check out the rest of the usable ones, and compile them into a booklet, and I'll read them again tomorrow. ”

Yujin hurriedly agreed, waited for Chen Wenhui to take a bath, and after resting, he hurriedly selected items and gathered them. Fortunately, Yu brought a few of them to help, and the next day, after Chen Wenhui got up, punched, practiced swords, and freshly freshened up, Yujin had already finished the booklet and gave Chen Wenhui a look.

Chen Wenhui looked at it and said, "You have selected them very well." I see that the new set of engraved poems of the previous generation of literati here is very good, valuable, and elegant, which is very in line with Miss Mei's identity, after all, she is from a scholarly family. Just give it to her. There are also four landscape paintings from the previous generation that are also very good, and I originally took them with me for entertainment. I've seen it 800 times, and I've copied it many times, so I'll give it to Miss Mei. These four paintings are now worth two thousand taels of silver. It's precious. There is also this purple gold incense burner, four Jiangnan jade bone fans, the calligraphy of the previous generation, and this Duan Yan Liufang are all given to Miss Mei. These things are very valuable, and elegant, and you can't buy them at leisure. It is used as a dowry, and it is very face-saving. Well, there is also this set of red gold inlaid gems from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as this set of sheep fat jade heads, I think it's too heavy, but the workmanship is not bad, give it to Miss Mei. These can also be suppressed in the makeup. (To be continued)
