A few days later, Chen Wenhui and his wife left Xinguang City and set off for Baicheng, a new city where Langxue was located. At this time, it is already April and May in the summer. Baicheng has been under construction for half a year, although it has not yet been built, but the city lord's mansion has been repaired, and although the city wall has not been completely repaired, the commercial street has begun to open, and it is also a prosperous scene.

As soon as Chen Wenhui's family got off the boat, they saw Langxue and his wife with their children on the shore to greet them.

When they were separated, Rongxue was still a girl to be married, and now she is the mother of the child, and Chen Wenhui can see at a glance that Rongxue still has a big belly, which is obviously pregnant again.

Chen Wenhui hurriedly pulled the snow and looked at it carefully, only to see that the snow was still so beautiful, but it was not the kind of elegant, a little sad beauty, people may be because of pregnancy, some round, some plump, it looks very rich, it is a kind of luxurious beauty.

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked: "Rongxue, are you pregnant again?" So fast? What a envy of people. ”

Rong Xue was a little embarrassed and said, "My sister-in-law is teasing me again." Now is the time to build a new city, but I am pregnant, which is really annoying. ”

Ram said with a happy face: "What's so annoying about this? When we build a new city, you will have a child again, which is a happy event, and this child is also a blessed child. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "What Ram said makes sense. ”

The group talked and laughed and came to the mansion of the city lord who made snow.

The whole Baicheng is very ethnic and densely populated. Here, Chen Wenhui also saw a few familiar faces, that is, big cows. Gui Yuxia's husband.

Chen Wenhui first greeted Langxue for a while. I called the big cow over, and it was also a kind of fate to be able to meet the big cow here.

Da Niu is no longer the young man in the mountain village at the beginning, after so many years, he is already a middle-aged businessman, but he still reveals a kind of honesty in his bones.

The big cow saluted Chen Wenhui and his wife in a proper manner, Chen Wenhui stopped with a smile and said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years." Don't do any more of this. I ask you. Why are you here? How's Mama Gui? ”

Gui Yuxia is no longer a grandmother in the palace, but Chen Wenhui is still used to calling Gui Yuxia Gui Mama.

Da Niu smiled innocently and said, "Back to the county lord's words." My business has been doing well over the years, and the spice business has not only done it in several of our Nanyang cities. I'm still buying a shop in the newly built White City. Buy places. Prepare to plant fragrant flowers. I heard that the county lord is coming, and I haven't seen the county lord for a few years, so. So he volunteered to come to the gate of the city to meet the lord of the county. Yuxia, she's okay. We already have three children, two boys and one girl, and she manages the embroidery workshop and takes care of three children. Therefore, it is still in Qingchun City. If she knew that I would be able to meet the county lord this time, she would definitely come with me. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Over the years, your husband and wife have written to me every year, and I have received them. It's just that I don't know much about the letter, but I just know that you are getting better and better. The child is also very sensible. Business is also booming. I miss you too. By the way, Mama Gui's craftsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, worthy of being the first needle god of Da Chu, the embroidery you send me every year, as well as the gifts you sent when my two children were born, especially the small clothes made by Mama Gui for the children, I like it the most. I've always wanted to thank you, but I didn't have a chance. After a while, when we go back to Qingchun City, I will invite you and your wife to my mansion to sit down. ”

Da Niu hurriedly said: "Where is the county lord talking about, we are just doing our best, and we don't think about anything, where can we be the county lord's thanks?" Our husband and wife are deeply favored by the county lord, and it is difficult to repay them for their broken bones, so we have to thank the county lord. ”

Chen Wenhui waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about those, how about your fragrant flower business?" How is your family? ”

Da Niu hurriedly said: "My fragrant flower business is very good, and now it is very famous in the Nanyang area." However, although my business is profitable, it is still not comparable to Yuxia's embroidery workshop. Today, her embroidery workshop has expanded to a large workshop with 2,000 embroiderers. That's it, the embroidery work is still not finished. Not only is the work of Qingchun City, but also Dachu has orders to come, as well as several other cities in Nanyang. ”

At this time, Rong Xue interjected with a smile: "I know this." The Gui family's embroidery workshop is famous all over the world, and I often order from her, and every time I have to place an order under the banner of my sister-in-law. Or maybe they won't be ranked. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Da Niu, then your family should also be a rich family now?" How is the family? ”

Da Niu hurriedly said: "The county lord knows about our family's situation. I'm just a sister, and I've already been sent to Qingchun City. Now my sister and brother-in-law's business is also very good. The family also has a tall mansion, a grange of thousands of acres, several children have been in charge of themselves, and my sister has become a grandmother. At the beginning, when he was rich at the beginning, his brother-in-law took a detour, and his sister left. Later, my brother-in-law got worse and worse, and finally, after suffering for a few years, he begged my sister for mercy. For the child's sake, my sister also spared him and started living with him again. Now, he depends on my sister for everything. ”

"On Yuxia's side, the business of every family is very good. Now they are all rich people. There are branches in various cities. We people are getting rich. I pulled all the relatives in the family over. For example, those relatives of my sister's mother-in-law's family, as well as those relatives of Jinxia, Yinxia's mother-in-law's family, Yuxia's uncle, aunt, etc., as long as they are willing to come to Nanyang, we have paid for them, picked them up, and settled them, and now there are people who have made a fortune, but most of them are ordinary people, but they also have houses to live in, fields to cultivate, and life is much better than when they were in Dachu. ”

"In addition to picking up relatives, we often do good deeds, and we often participate in the charity association in Qingchun City."

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "I know this." Ten thousand deputy city lords often talk to me. Your family donates a lot. That's what kindness is all about. ”

Then Da Niu and Chen Wenhui chatted for a few more words, and then said goodbye.

After he left, Zhao Chongyi was very interested and said, "This is what you often say about Mama Gui's husband?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes. Their family is doing very well now, and they have brought out so many relatives, but at the beginning, Mama Gui did not help me less. It's also my hero. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "It's a favor for you, but they have also become rich because of it." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

"They are rich," she said. This big cow, as soon as you buy a shop and a house, it is ten rooms to buy, and that is called big, and it is also a big deal to buy wasteland, and it is 5,000 acres in one stroke. It also brought a large number of farming Japanese people, indigenous people, and southern Xinjiang people. These are all things that he bought early, trained them well, and brought them over for him to farm. Such businessmen, we in Baicheng are welcome. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I see that your city wall has been built more than halfway, and it is still very fast. It's a little faster than when I was building the new city. ”

Before she could speak, Mu Li had already said, "Naturally, it's faster." All of the engineering teams we employ here are your engineering teams from Qingchun City, a total of ten engineering teams are in charge of building sewers, ten engineering teams are in charge of building city walls, and ten engineering teams are dedicated to building houses and streets in the city. In this way, there are 30 engineering teams, each engineering team has two or three thousand people, and they have a large number of professional machinery in their hands, and everyone is proficient. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "That's also because you have a lot of silver on hand, and if you don't have silver, how can these engineering teams work so hard?" ”

Mu Li smiled and said, "It's not the credit of making snow. The dowry for the snow was already a lot. It shocked all the nobles in southern Xinjiang. Later, after the snow arrived in southern Xinjiang, he kept doing business, and it has increased several times in recent years. Before the war, we had already sold our houses, shops, and fields, and received cash, so there was no problem in paying now. ”

Rong Xue smiled and said, "It's not enough for me, but also for my father to give us almost the entire Bai clan's savings." Therefore, we have no shortage of people or money to build, and it is naturally very fast. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but ask, "It turns out that you came here to secretly help the patriarch of the Bai clan?" Then why didn't he come with you? ”

When Mu Li heard this, his expression darkened and he said, "I always thought that my father didn't like me and my brother. He likes the three Ram sisters even more, and he dotes on the queen even more, but the queen obeys her orders. However, now I know that his heart has always been on our side. For so many years, although my father has always supported the queen, it seems that the queen has borrowed the power of our Bai clan. In fact, our Bai clan has been in power for so many years, and it has developed rapidly, and it is already the first among the six clans, even surpassing the queen's vine clan. ”

"The strength of the Bai clan is so strong, the queen would have been very happy. According to her thoughts, the Bai clan will be given to Ram in the future. However, my father quietly transferred all the hands and wealth of the Bai tribe, and when I went to tell him that I was leaving, that I was a spy of Da Chu, I thought he would be angry, I thought he would beat me, and even kill me. However, I didn't expect that he was very calm, and just handed over these finances and manpower to me, told me to go to the designated place, and took his tokens to get them. He said that he wanted me to take my younger brother and the Bai people to create a new world. ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi were a little stunned, thinking of the patriarch of the Bai clan they saw that time, and admired it in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
