Mu Li Gongzi is intoxicated with the beauty of snow these days.

In the past few days, Chen Wenhui and his wife have not taken care of entertaining him, but he is enjoying himself, and every time he uses a different excuse to meet with Langxue. Although it has only been three days, the two of them are already very familiar. Because I don't like to go out because I make snow, so every time the two of them play in the county lord's mansion, fortunately, the county lord's mansion is very large, there are mountains, there are lakes, and there are courtyards with different scenery, so Mu Li feels very happy, there are beauties on the side, and the county lord's mansion is so luxurious and beautiful, it is really happy.

Zhao Chongyi heard Chen Wenhui ask about the situation of Master Muli, so he said: "I heard that in the past few days, he has been playing in our mansion, but fortunately, our mansion is big enough, and it is okay to play for a few days." I want to wait for two days, and the matter at hand will be arranged, so I will send someone to take him around the capital, and then introduce my clan uncle to him. My clan uncle and I passed the letter and were very willing to go to Lingnan to do business and lead our Zhao family caravan. This caravan will invest a total of 400,000 taels of silver. I have more than 100,000 taels of silver there, and my uncle can get 100,000 taels of silver, and I want to borrow the rest from you or borrow from the bank. ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled: "I have some silver on hand, but I also need money to prepare things for the northwest." Although I have nearly a million taels of silver on hand, it is not enough to spend, and I am ready to borrow money from the bank as well. ”

Zhao Chongyi smacked his tongue: "You have nearly a million taels of silver, it's not enough, how many things do you want to buy to go to the northwest?" What do we have to prepare? Also, we built cities, and so on, all at the emperor's expense. Where are we used? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "The city in the northwest is not mine, how can I invest money in construction?" I want to take advantage of this opportunity to buy more things and go to the northwest, escorted by a large army, how safe it is, this time to the northwest, sell the things, it is a sum of money, at least double, earn one or two million taels of silver. It's worth it for me to go all the way once. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "You really don't suffer a loss." All right. That's right, I'm like a bank loan, and I also asked you to help me buy some goods and sell them. Earn me some pocket money too. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Isn't my money your money? Why do you have to be so clear? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled slightly and said, "Yes." We are husband and wife. Your money is also my money. Sometimes, however, I have other needs. At this time, I wish I could have a little money of my own and spend my own money. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, this was very common in the previous life, but it was rare in this era. However, she thought about it for a while and understood that Zhao Chongyi could take care of Chen Wenhui without psychological pressure for daily food and clothing, but there were some things, for example, the dowry of Langxue, such as the marriage of nephews and nieces, and the wedding of the future younger brother, although their husband and wife would pay for it, Zhao Chongyi still wanted to give him some more money. It can be seen from before, when he was in southern Xinjiang, Zhao Chongyi said that he wanted to save a dowry for Langxue.

Chen Wenhui figured it out and said, "Okay, how much silver do you need to borrow, just go." After the loan comes out, you ask people to hand over the money to Shuilian, she is buying, let her help you keep the accounts, buy, and finally settle with you. By the way, I have an idea. ”

Zhao Chongyi was very happy that his wife could understand him so quickly, and asked, "What's the idea?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Isn't there a gap of more than 100,000 yuan in money for you to organize the Lingnan caravan? I have an idea, you can ask Mulley to invest in it. In this way, this caravan has the shares of the clan uncle, you, and the son of Muli. Uncle Clan can help you run it, and Master Mu Li is taking care of it in Southern Xinjiang, isn't it very good? ”

Zhao Chongyi was very happy when he thought about it, but when he thought of a question, he was worried and asked: "However, if it is one or two thousand taels of silver, it is estimated that Mu Li Gongzi can still take it out, after all, he has the father of the patriarch of the Bai clan." However, where can he take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? It is estimated that even the queen is not so easy to get, and southern Xinjiang is really poor. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "You are a fan of the authorities, and Mu Li Gongzi does not have this money, but he can borrow from the bank." I went back to the bank and said goodbye. ”

Zhao Chongyi's eyes lit up and said: "Well, what you said is very right, I will immediately invite Master Mu Li to come over and tell him about this matter, he must be very happy." ”

After speaking, Zhao Chongyi was about to turn around and go out. Chen Wenhui hurriedly stopped and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" I haven't finished asking yet, have I? If the prince is ready, when will the uncle come to meet the prince? When did their caravan depart? How long will Mr. Mu stay in our house? After asking clearly, I'll talk to Lang Xue, she has a bottom in her heart and knows how long to entertain guests. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "My clan uncle has already taken his own 100,000 taels of silver to buy things in the surrounding area, make a deposit first, and when our money is raised, he will send someone to deliver the money, pick up the goods, and load the ship." I'll be back in about three or four days. When the time comes, we will discuss it again, and I will take Master Mu Li to the palace to meet the emperor in private, and the emperor still has a lot to ask. In this way, the departure time of Mu Li Gongzi is probably about the same as ours. ”

As soon as she said this, Chen Wenhui understood and didn't say anything. Zhao Chongyi also went out to look for Mu Li Gongzi.

Chen Wenhui and Shui Lian then calculated what things they bought, as well as the gifts brought back from Southern Xinjiang, who they gave them to, and which ones were left to be put in the warehouse.

It took two days to be busy. The rest of the things, Chen Wenhui can be the shopkeeper again, and the people below are worried about it. She made time for it and remembered that it had been a few days since she came back, and she hadn't talked to Rongxue yet.

On this day, taking advantage of the good weather, she asked someone to make tea in the peony pavilion on the mountain in the backyard, and invited the snow to come over to drink tea, chat, and enjoy the peony flowers.

Speaking of which, now that the spring is just right, there is a large area of rare varieties of peonies in the Peony Pavilion, there are three or four hundred plants, which are in full bloom, but Chen Wenhui has no time to appreciate it.

When I arrived at the Peony Pavilion, I saw big flowers, which were blooming delicately, and Chen Wenhui couldn't help but stop and appreciate the past. was watching, only to see a person coming from among the flowers, wearing a snow-blue shirt, a skirt sprinkled with flowers in the moon, and walked over with a curling grace.

It's the snow that's coming. Lang Xue walked to Chen Wenhui's side, gave a blessing, and said, "Sister-in-law is finally free today?" This flower is Mohai Youlong, it is a rare black peony, if it weren't for the masters of the Hei family, where could they be planted? ”

Chen Wenhui looked at Rong Xue's delicate face, and only felt that she hadn't seen her for a while, and she was a little more beautiful, and couldn't help but say happily: "Famous flowers and beauties are suitable." Make snow, you have been alone in the capital for a while, and you have a good life, this skin, this figure, and this bearing are much better. ”

Ryxue smiled embarrassedly.

The two of them joined hands and boarded the Peony Pavilion together, where the light yarn had been put down, tea had been boiled, and the two of them drank tea and chatted at the same time.

Lang Xue said: "You have worked so hard to go to southern Xinjiang, but I am very leisurely in the capital." Now, I have met some celebrities in the capital, participated in several poetry clubs, a chess club, and an elegant music club. Every day, I take care of the shop, the things in the mansion, and the rest of the time, I go to participate in these poetry meetings, chess meetings, and Yale clubs, but I am not idle, and I don't have time to learn embroidery. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Those female celebrities and the like, just understand something, people like us, who really let you do needlework?" What is a sewing room for? It's that you are partying with these so-called celebrities in the capital, and there are no people who don't open their eyes to bully you, right? ”

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Wenhui knew that something was wrong, her face turned cold, and said, "If there is anything, you just say, who would dare to bully the people from our county lord's mansion when they go out?" ”

Lang Xue smiled and said: "I am now very famous in the capital, everyone knows that I am Zhao Shilang's sister, the sister-in-law of the county lord of Wenhui, the backer is tough, and Aunt Chen supports me, Sister Mingzhu also supports me, I have more money than ordinary ladies, who dares to look down on me?" ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while and asked, "Who is that?" Oh, I know, it must be Zhao Yufei's idiot? ”

Rong Xue smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hide anything from you." ”

Chen Wenhui raised her eyebrows: "So it's really her?" What's wrong with her? ”

Lang Xue said, "How can she recruit me?" A few times at the party, she was sarcastic about my origins. However, naturally there are a group of familiar friends, such as the sisters of the Chen family, the sisters of the Tian family, and the sisters of the Han family, who stand up for me and say that I am the sister-in-law of the county lord, what's wrong with my identity? Or the official family members in the yamen, who dares to question my identity? As soon as these righteous words were said, Zhao Yufei didn't dare to make a fuss about this matter anymore. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded, Zhao Chongyi went to the yamen first to go to the file and got the identity of an official for Langxue, which was extremely correct.

Rong Xue continued: "Later, she compared her skills and clothes with me everywhere. It's a pity, sister-in-law, you say, can she compare to me? I grew up in that place since I was a child, and that's what I learned, at that time, how bitter, she was a delicate girl, who dared to force her to learn, naturally not my opponent. As for clothes and jewelry, anything we take out in the county lord's mansion can compare to her. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but laugh when she thought about that scene.

Zhao Yufei is arrogant everywhere, always saying that people are not from a good background and are not good at dressing, but when she meets her own family, which is the richest in Da Chu, she hits a wall. (To be continued......)
