Chapter 35: An Emerald

Chen Wenhui was lamenting with the Bai family that there were many rich people in the capital, and Chen Yuanheng had already returned from socializing outside. Chen Wenhui and the Bai family hurriedly told him about asking him to find a house for the Hu family.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Mrs. Hu, I admire the most, she thinks about the people and is a woman, much better than many husbands, and even ministers in the court. It's also a good thing that she can come to the capital, first, our righteous daughter Mingzhu has her own mother to take care of her. Second, Mrs. also has a friend by her side. Don't worry about this matter, I'll take care of it. I just don't know what price house she is looking for? What kind of location do you want? How big? ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "The location, of course, is close to Sister Mingzhu's house." It doesn't matter how big or small, it doesn't hurt to be small, just enter the three, after all, she is alone with some subordinates, how many places can she want. As for the price? Hee-hee, my father doesn't need to worry about her. Although Aunt Hu is not good at managing money, and all the spare money around her is used in the hospital, Sister Mingzhu said that she will pay for Aunt Hu to buy this house. Sister Mingzhu is also a rich man now. Her current dowry industry, the pharmaceutical factory has a profit of more than 300,000 taels a year. After deducting the dividends given to me, she still has more than 200,000 taels left. So, don't worry about that. ”

Chen Yuanheng was taken aback and said, "Why is her pharmaceutical shop so profitable?" ”

Wen Hui told the situation of the pharmaceutical factory. Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "Hahaha, my biological daughter has a way to make money, and this righteous daughter also has a way to make money." She earns this money well, makes money, and contributes to the country, she really has a mother and a daughter, no, she is even stronger than her mother. That's easy to say. The location of the Liu family is not the most expensive location, there are many houses to choose from, and it is not big. You can find a very good one within 100,000 taels. Let her buy it for 100,000 taels, buy a bigger one, and in the future, Mrs. Hu will be able to leave it for Mingzhu after a hundred years. It is estimated that Mingzhu will be full of children and grandchildren by then. It's time to expand the house. Buy it early, and you won't have to worry about it then. ”

Chen Wenhui grinned: "Father's thinking is really far-reaching." ”

Bai said to Chen Yuanheng again: "This Sister Hu is still thinking about opening a hospital in the capital." You know, she can't be idle, so if she doesn't see a doctor for the people, she has to die in a hurry. ”

Chen Yuanheng pondered for a while and said: "It is not a simple matter to open a hospital in the capital, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you open this kind of hospital privately for the benefit of the people, you may be taken by the official and say that it is to show mercy to the people, and you have a bad heart." It's a big sin to get it wrong. But. If it is not opened, firstly, the people of the capital will be a loss, and secondly, Mrs. Hu will have no interest in life. So be it. The hospital can be opened, but it can't be opened by Mrs. Hu, it is best to be opened by the royal family, but Mrs. Hu can preside over it. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Aunt Hu doesn't care about fame and fortune, whoever opens it is the same, she can treat the people." It's just that the royal open is good though. How can it be said that the royal family will come forward? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "This is easy to say, just fall on Wen Hui." Anyway, the money thing is easy to do, we will pay a little, Mrs. Hu will pay a little, those famous and rich people in the capital will pay a little, and the royal family will not pay any money. It's just a matter of the name. I also want Wen Hui to go find Princess Lichuan. ”

Wen Hui clapped her hands with a smile: "Oh, my father is still amazing, such a wonderful person, why did I forget about it?" There must be no problem with Princess Lichuan coming forward. Whether it is in her name, or she says that it is a matter of one sentence to move the emperor and let the royal family do it. And. Princess Lichuan already knows the benefits of the hospital in Shanghai City, and will definitely approve of it. What's more, she doesn't have to pay for it. Of course, if she pays, we won't refuse, now she is rich. ”

Seeing this situation, the Bai family hurriedly told Chen Yuanheng about Mingzhu's desire to open Yangshantang, and laughed after speaking: "Master, in fact, I think that this Yangshantang can also be handed over to the princess to do, whether it is the princess or the royal family, it can be done." It's just that we can pay for it, but this management must be managed by our people, not our hard-earned money, but those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Moreover, with our people in charge and the royal people coming forward, the local officials at all levels will cooperate, and it will naturally be easy to promote. This is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good. I plan to give 30,000 taels of silver according to Wen Hui's wishes. ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "One guest doesn't bother the two masters, these two things are good things, wait for two days, Wen Hui will hand over a post to the princess, go talk to the princess back then, and see if the princess can do both." ”

Wen Hui saw that this matter had a plan so quickly, and she was also happy in her heart.

After two days, it is already the eleventh day of the new year, and there are still a few days before the Lantern Festival. There are more people on the streets who are open for business. Wen Hui specially made a beautiful post and handed it to the princess's mansion, wanting to see the princess.

The princess's mansion was full of people, but when she saw Wen Hui's post, she didn't dare to slack off, and immediately returned to the princess, and the princess personally asked the big maid next to her to entertain Wen Hui's messenger Qiu Bi, Qiu Bi saluted the princess's eldest maid and told Wen Hui that she wanted to see the princess, and the big girl didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly went in and told the princess. After reading the post, the princess agreed, and asked Wenhui to come to the house to enjoy the early blooming spring flowers after taking a nap tomorrow afternoon. Qiu Bi hurriedly thanked him and went back. The princess also gave Qiu Bi a first-class red seal.

Qiu Bi returned to the mansion and said to Wen Hui, and gave Wen Hui, the princess's invitation, and the princess's reward. Wen Hui said: "Sister Princess treats me kindly, so you can keep this red seal." In addition, two days ago, people from Wanjiayinlou came to pay New Year's greetings and gave me a box of 12 cordyceps hairpins, you go pick one up and wear it. ”

Qiu Bi was busy thanking.

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Wenhui first prepared a few small gifts at home to give to Princess Lichuan, and when she was preparing, a green sprout suddenly came to report: "Girl, the fourth girl is here, and she is outside the yard?" ”

At this time, Bai and Chen Yuanheng had already gone out, and Wen Hui was left at home. Wen Hui didn't pay attention to it when she heard this, and said to Lu Ya, "Please let her in." ”

After a while, Wen Hua came in, and saw Wen Hui watching the maids packing and preparing gifts, so she asked, "Sister, are you going to go out?" But do you want to give someone a gift? Whose house are you going to? What is this? ”

As he spoke, he took his eyes to the boxes. I saw a bright red lacquerware, a box carved with a lady's picture, a sandalwood clip, and a larger camphor box. It's all open, and nothing has been put yet. Rao was born in a wealthy family, and was also attracted by the exquisite workmanship of these boxes.

Wen Hui said: "Fourth sister, I was busy here, so I didn't go to the gate of the courtyard to greet you." In the afternoon, I received an invitation from Princess Lichuan to her house to enjoy the newly blooming spring flowers. Isn't that still in the middle of the year? It's not good to go empty-handed, so I prepared a little thing. ”

Wenhua was very envious and said, "Oh, we are both sisters, and I haven't been to the princess's cousin's mansion yet." My sister is a good blessing, and as soon as she came to the capital, she was favored by the princess's cousin. ”

Wen Hui smiled silently, and the green sprout next to her said: "Our girl was a frequent visitor to the princess's house when she was in Shanghai, and when she came to the capital, she naturally had a different relationship with other people." ”

Wen Hua was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What are such exquisite boxes and boxes ready to contain?" ”

Wen Hui said: "This camphor wood box is ready to be filled with the brocade of the Hei family that I got on Yizhou Island, and I have also given it to my sister before. One of these three boxes is the plum blossom cake I have made by others, the other is the sugar refined by our family's workshop, and the other is the three emeralds that I have newly acquired. ”

The first few things are fine, Wenhua was dumbfounded when he heard that there were emeralds, is this thing also given casually? Doesn't Wen Hui know the value of emeralds?

Just thinking about this, Wen Hui's maid jade belt had already brought a black velvet and spread it into the red sandalwood clip, and went into the house to take out a cloth bag, and opened it, and there were four or five emeralds of different sizes inside. Wen Hui took it and looked at it, and in the end, she selected three with big color and good luster. Jade Belt hurriedly put the three carefully on top of the black velvet in the clip. The green gem shimmered with dazzling brilliance on the black velvet, and Wenhua felt that his eyes were about to be blinded.

These gems are extremely rare in terms of color, quality, and size, and it is difficult to see one on weekdays, not to mention that three are put together, as long as it is a woman, it will be attracted. Wen Hua kept his eyes open, and his eyes showed a look of intoxication.

Wen Hui said a few words to her, and saw that Wen Hua did not agree, so she looked at Wen Hua carefully, and then found that her cousin was deeply attracted by those gems.

In fact, these gems are trivial for Wen Hui, in Yizhou Island, she bought many gems from the Hei family, these are not particularly good, so she casually put them in a silk handkerchief. She has a special collection box. It would be strange if Wenhua didn't die when he saw that box.

The reason why I want to take out these three gems this time is to thank Chen Guifei and the princess for their maintenance of her at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and second, isn't this asking the princess to do something? How can you shoot lightly?

Wen Hui saw that Wen Hua liked the gem so much, and her heart moved: "Sister, can you also look at these gems?" It's a pity that these three are for the princess, but I still have two here, although they are a little smaller, they are in good condition, so can I give one to my sister? ”

ps:

The first one is sent.
