Chapter 121: Growth
Chen Wenhui said: "You are polite like this. Actually, that's not much. It's been eight years after all. When we first went to the northwest, the land and real estate in that place were very cheap, but no one wanted to throw them out. I bought some at the right time. And then just put it there without a tube. By the time we're gone, we'll be able to sell it for so much money. ”
"So, we didn't put much thought into it. Shuilian is busy there, managing the industry for me, and also managing the affairs of the three northwestern provinces. Where else can I manage the money for you? If you have the kung fu, at that time, as long as you do some business casually, I am afraid that what you will get back today will not be more than 500,000 taels of silver, but maybe 2 million taels of silver. ”
"So, don't thank us either. Besides, don't you know what water lotus is like? No matter how much money you make, whether it is more or less, Shuilian will not accept your money. ”
Shi Yuesi was embarrassed to say, "That being said, I also want to thank you and Shuilian. I'm not a greedy person, and it's more than I could have imagined to have tripled that amount of silver. You know, tell me to decorate the mansion, live at home, paint, take care of the children, do needlework, invest, operate, I don't know at all. Thank you so much. So then, you don't want any silver. I'll go back and send a few things to the water lotus. I heard that you are married and have children, so I will draw a picture for you and make some clothes for the children. ”
Chen Wenhui knew that Shi Yuesi would not just send a few paintings. A few pieces of clothing are in trouble. It may be given some precious objects, jewelry and the like. However, it is also with her. After all, Shuilian is worried about her, and she is indeed making money for her, and she should collect something. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid that Shi Yuesi will feel uncomfortable.
Chen Wenhui said: "Water lotus, you can accept the reward of Concubine Shi when you look back." It is also a piece of the concubine's heart. ”
The water lotus pointed to it.
Shi Yuesi said: "Wen Hui, this money is too timely. I can use it just right. ”
Chen Wenhui asked while drinking tea: "What, are you short of money now?" ”
Shi Yuesi knew what Chen Wenhui meant. Busy said: "The life of our mother and son is not lacking anything. After all, there are cases in the palace. There are those workshops, shops, fields, and annual production that the emperor has rewarded. All of them add up to more than 20,000 taels. It's enough to cover the cost of our mansion. ”
"This is a huge mansion. I eat, drink, live and travel with Inovance. The expenses of the people in the house, the expenses of the workshop personnel, and the rewards of the subordinate officials cost more than 10,000 taels of silver every year. and the remaining more than 10,000 taels of silver. It's my annual banquet with Inovance, and I buy some things. You know, I love to draw, and I spend a lot of money on it every year. For example, buying materials for painting, for example, buying ancient paintings. Also, Inovance likes musical instruments and has a lot of good musical instruments, which also cost a lot of money. In addition to this, I also sponsor girls who have the talent to paint every year to study and paint. Huichuan also likes to go to Yangshantang and the maternity hospital to help the poor, and often donates money to them. Therefore, we spent only two or three thousand taels of silver every year. ”
Huichuan had been listening quietly, but when he heard that his mother had told Chen Wenhui about these household routines in such detail as soon as they met, although his face did not show it, he was very surprised. She knew her mother. Her mother looked weak, but she was actually very assertive. If you haven't been in the palace for so many years, how can you survive?
However, such a mother actually told the county lord Wen Hui, who had not seen her for several years, that as soon as she met, she gave her the entire family background, and she was so detailed, it was incredible. This can only show that Lord Wen Hui is the most trusted person in this world by his mother. This trust, even the mother's maiden relatives do not have this treatment.
Huichuan was more curious about Wen Hui in his heart.
Chen Wenhui was about to speak, but Zhao Hongling couldn't hold back and said, "You guys talk, I'm so bored." Sister, can you take me to your house to play? I want to see, where does a fairy like my sister live? ”
This sentence made everyone laugh. Shi Yuesi said: "Look at me, I patronized and talked, but I forgot about Xiao Lingling, who entertained us." Huichuan, you should be bored here. I still have a lot to say to Lord Wen Hui. You take Xiao Lingling to your place to play for a while. ”
"You have to watch her well, play with her things, take pastries to eat, and coax her, huh?"
Huichuan was very strange in his heart. She is the most noble princess of Da Chu, but her mother has never asked her to coax her children. It can be seen that the relationship between the mother and the county lord of Wen Hui is really unusual.
Huichuan agreed with a smile and took Xiao Hongling to her bedroom. She did not live in the main house, but in a small cross-courtyard, adjacent to the main house. It's all set up with things she likes, and it's very interesting.
Chen Wenhui watched the children go out, and then continued: "Then you are enough to live, what else do you have to do with money?" ”
Shi Yuesi smiled and said, "Isn't this Huichuan already big?" The emperor and queen are already helping Huichuan look at each other. I'm going to marry Huichuan. Although it is said that when Huichuan marries, the palace will give a rich dowry. The emperor also left a rich dowry. The Queen Mother must still have a reward at that time. However, as a mother, don't I have a good dowry? So, I'd like to buy some things, and I'll let you help me look at some properties for Inovance. ”
"In the future, Huichuan will get married, and he will definitely still be in this mansion, and there will be more horses to live, and the cost will be greater, so he must add more industries, so that he can live a good life when he produces more every year."
Chen Wenhui then understood and said: "Sister, you are really worried, and you also consider that after the princess gets married, what should I do if I have more money to spend on the horse?" Don't you know that when the princess gets married, the Zongren Mansion will give the princess a lot of property, and the palace will also give a lot of industry, won't these be produced? Also, a princess is no ordinary princess. She will be the eldest princess in the future. How much authority is that? Can this be spent without money? Not to mention anything else, the Tian family of the eldest princess in the past, you know, how rich is that? ”
"When you entered the palace back then, you participated in the selection, and you were selected in the mansion of the former eldest princess's daughter, Lord Shuyuan. How rich is the lord of Shuyuan? You say, Princess Huichuan will have less money to spend in the future? ”
Shi Yuesi said: "That being said, I also understand this truth. However, being a mother always has to think more. Why don't you take this back, Miss Shuilian, if you don't bother the two masters, you can take the silver back and help me buy some property? ”
Shuilian looked at Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "It is also right to add industry. After all, making money make money is living money. It's all dead money. Shuilian, you can help her worry about it. ”
Shuilian had no choice but to accept it.
Shi Yuesi was very happy and said, "I knew that Wen Hui would not be polite to me, Wen Hui has always helped me." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "By the way, did the emperor and the queen choose a horse for the princess?" I think the princess is so beautiful, it is rare in the whole world to be worthy of the princess. ”
Shi Yuesi smiled and said, "Huichuan is beautiful. However, choosing a colt is not just about looks. It also depends on character, ability, and family background. I've already seen several of them, by the way, while the children are not around, you can also help me take a look. Jade, go get the list. ”
Chen Wenhui was a little surprised and said, "There is still a list?" ”
Shi Yuesi smiled and said: "No, the princess is married, it's all like this, there is a list for you to choose from." You haven't heard that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married. ”
Chen Wenhui laughed.
Cuiyu really took a list over, Chen Wenhui saw that there were really many candidates on it, basically the young Junyan in the nobles of the family were on this list.
Chen Wenhui looked at it for a while and said, "Hey? And Brother Wenqi's son? Isn't this a bad guy? ”
Shi Yuesi said: "Are you talking about Chen Shanxuan, the eldest son of the Chen family?" He's the best person I've ever looked at. He is also handsome and chic, knowledgeable, capable, gentle and elegant, and his family background is also very good, no less than the royal family. The best thing is that although there are many famous concubines in your Chen family's mansion, this Chen Shanxuan is still very good, and there are no concubines or anything like that. What do you think? This is the person of your family, and you know best. ”
Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "I really don't know much about the people over there. However, Shanxuan's child is indeed good. My father praised him many times, and for a while, he studied with my father at home. So I got close to my father. On the contrary, his second uncle and ancestor were not very close. However, these are all things that can be seen from the outside. I don't know what is going on. However, I can find out, Shuilian, you will finish the concubine's property in two days, and when you come over, you will casually check the matter of the son of Shanxuan over there and send it. ”
Shi Yuesi was very happy and said, "I almost forgot this. Wen Hui, why don't you ask Shuilian to work harder, and help me check a few more people. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, you give the list to Shuilian, we know some of them, and we don't know some of them." ”
Shi Yuesi said: "The affairs of the minister's family, I don't need you to help me check, it's these people, they are all familiar to you, such as Chen Shanxuan, for example, the eldest son of Zhongyigong, and the eldest son of the Bai family, just these three families, how about you take a look?" ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Okay, there is no problem with these three. ”
Shi Yuesi was overjoyed, and the matter that she had been thinking about for many days was finally resolved, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, Wen Hui was really good to come back, and anything could be solved. (To be continued.) )
