Chapter 101: Worrying about the future
Chen Wenlin and his newlywed wife Mei Ying had already arrived in Qingchun City first.
After arriving in Qingchun City, Mei Ying was carefully observing all the way, observing how the city was governed, so as to learn from it. Now every thing in Tianshui City is Chen Wenlin assisting Mei Ying to deal with. Mei Ying has just started and is still jerky, but her ability is very strong, and she quickly figured it out. Chen Wenlin is very happy, it seems that he will soon be able to continue to expand the territory like his eldest brother, and the family will be handed over to Mei Ying.
Mei Ying and Chen Wenlin observed and said, "Why is the city governed by Hui'er so lively and lively than ours? β
Chen Wenlin said: "Of course, it should be lively, her city is now the most populous of the four cities, and there are already nearly 300,000 people, and she has built three acropolis in order to divert the traffic." Not to mention anything else, the food and drink of these 300,000 people alone is already a big business. What's more, her city produces the most. At that time, her craftsmen were all top craftsmen recruited from the capital, such as the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These craftsmen, there are porcelain craftsmen, blacksmiths, lacquer craftsmen, embroiderers, carpenters, anyway, there are 360 lines, everything. Now these craftsmen, with the support of Wen Hui, have set up workshops, taught apprentices, and expanded production, so that her urban output is the most abundant and the best. attracted a large number of Dachu businessmen, how much money did Dachu earn every year? β
Mei Ying nodded and said, "No wonder Wen Hui always says that there is no business and no wealth, and it is not possible to have active business in this city." It seems that we will have to work on this in the future. β
Chen Wenlin said: "I will fully support you. You can develop however you want. Tianshui City is ours. It will be our children from now on. We have no constraints. How do we develop, we don't need to report like the imperial court, as long as we supply the imperial court with some food every year. You just let it go. β
Mei Ying looked at Chen Wenlin and smiled sweetly, only in the Chen family can women give full play to their strengths and continue to grow. For example, sister-in-law Wan, for example, for herself, and for example, for her sister Chen Wenhui.
The two of them talked and laughed and came to Chen Wenhui's mansion. Entering the mansion, Mei Ying couldn't help but say: "Originally, I thought our mansion was already very beautiful, but compared to Wen Hui's." Still not as delicate as hers. β
Chen Wenlin said: "Of course. You've also seen the City Lord's Mansion of Big Brother Xinguang City. It's not as beautiful as Wen Hui's mansion, right? Let me tell you, although the black family recognizes us as the Lord. But the real allegiance of the Hei family is still Wen Hui. For Wen Hui's mansion, they really worked hard. Not to mention, how rich is Wen Hui? I sometimes wonder, why does she want so much money for a girl? β
Mei Ying smiled and said, "Why is it useless?" She's a girl now. But in the future, I will definitely get married. There will be children. Can't you divide one point? It's just that I don't know which blessed one married Wen Hui. People are also beautiful, capable, and intelligent. The family background is good. He also has the title of county lord given by the emperor. Not to mention, I don't know which family can bear this huge family wealth. β
Chen Wenlin snorted and said, "It's really cheap." You know, Wen Hui herself has a lot of money and a lot of industry, which girl in Dachu can have a city as a dowry? Not to mention, you know how much our mother gave us when we got married. You also know how much my eldest brother and sister-in-law gave us. Think about it, when Wen Hui got married, her mother could only be more than us, not less than us, right? The eldest brother and sister-in-law must have given more than we were. What about us, don't we give more? β
Mei Ying thought about Wen Hui's affection for her and said: "You are such a sister, she has done so many things for us, and we have it in our hands, so we must give more." Gee, how much does that have to be? I'm afraid Wen Hui's dowry is not enough for three hundred lifts. β
Chen Wenlin said: "Wen Hui's dowry will not be those clichΓ© things, and there will not be a lot of ostentatiousness, at most a dowry of one hundred and twenty lifts." In fact, what is really valuable is just a piece of paper, where does it take up space? For example, Qingchun City, for example, Nanyang Bank, Dachu's bank, for example, Baojingfang's shares. These are a lot of things, but they are just a few documents, and they are not obvious. Hey, it's really cheap. β
Mei Ying immediately asked, "Who is Chongyi?" Could it be that Wen Hui's marriage has already been decided? β
Chen Wenlin realized that he had missed his mouth, but when he thought about it, his wife was from his own family, and he would know sooner or later, so he said: "I have time in the evening, and I will tell you again, now I have seen Wen Hui's figure, and she has come to pick us up." Don't say it, lest she panic. β
Mei Ying hurriedly closed her mouth, but her heart was stronger.
The brothers, sisters, and sisters-in-law met, and it didn't take long to separate, and after talking for a while, Chen Wenhui accompanied them to dinner, and then let Chen Wenlin and his wife go to their courtyard to rest.
Chen Wenlin saw that Wen Hui was not around, so he told Mei Ying what happened. started with Chongyi's family, and then said that Chongyi followed Liu Yan to disaster relief, and then a few years later, when they met again, Chongyi happened to save Wen Hui.
Mei Ying only thought it was very interesting when she heard it, and said, "I didn't expect this to be so tortuous." Back then, General Zhao already liked Wen Hui. confessed to Wen Hui, but was rejected. However, the marriage destined by God, a few years later, how could it be so coincidental that General Zhao saved Wen Hui, it can be seen that this is fate. β
Chen Wenlin said: "Isn't it? Actually, the people in our family are not very satisfied with this family matter, but my sister likes it, what can we do, we can only accept it, and take care of it more in the future. However, we may not need to take care of it, after all, my sister's ability is there, who can beat her? β
Mei Ying asked, "Why are you not satisfied?" Listen to what you said, General Zhao, young and promising, both civil and military, deeply in love with Wen Hui, where to find such a good son? β
Chen Wenlin said: "Our family chooses our in-laws, don't you see it? I don't care about the official position of the other party's family, is it prominent? Rich or not? Our family cares about people. Chongyi is a good person. But Chongyi didn't marry into our family like you and your sister-in-law. It is to marry Hui'er into their family. In this way, the situation of the other party's family becomes important. If his family were a poor family, it would be better to keep it simpler. We just need to have more dowries. Besides, we just don't give more dowries, and Wen Hui's own money is enough to spend for several lifetimes. However, their family is so complicated. My mother is insidious and vicious, and my sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps. You say, how can we rest assured that my sister has come to such a family? β
Mei Ying thought about it, isn't she an example? Although his family is complicated and poor, and his father's official position is smaller, he married the Chen family because the Chen family values his own ability and his person. The sister-in-law is too, isn't the businessman still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao Chen family?
Mei Ying is not unaware of the situation of the Zhongyi Mansion in the capital. As an unmarried little girl, she did not go to the tea party held by the official eunuch girl. I also know the three girls from the Zhao family. None of those three girls are not domineering. It is very famous in the capital. Sure enough, because of their arrogance, the eldest girl has been calculated to death by the girl of the Tian family. This incident shocked the Beijing ladies circle back then.
Of the remaining two Zhao girls, one entered the palace and became the imperial concubine, and the other was still in the boudoir. The one who became the imperial concubine is not easy to mess with, not only domineering, but also likes to meddle in things outside the palace, especially in the affairs of her mother's family. I heard that the wife of the prince Han is very troubled by this. The one in the boudoir is also often oppressive in the boudoir circle. In the past, her family conditions were poor, and wherever she dared to provoke, she tried to hide as much as possible. It's really difficult for such a superb to become Wen Hui's sister-in-law in the future.
Not to mention, that Duchess Zhongyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Before getting married, the people around him often compared their own family with the family of Zhongyi. The Duchess of Zhongyi is super capable, although there are many aunts in the backyard of the Duke of Zhongyi, but those aunts come and go, and they have not left heirs, only one aunt has left an heir, Zhao Chongyi, the concubine of the Duke of Zhongyi, but I don't know where I am, and I don't know if I sold it or killed it. The Duchess of Zhongyi made the backyard very tidy. But what about Mrs. Mei of her own family? As a lady in the main room, although she is filling the house, she is also a serious lady, and she can't even discipline her aunt in the backyard. Not only did the concubines and concubines come up with a lot of them, but even those aunts who had no heirs often spoiled and spoiled, jumping out to challenge Mrs. Zheng, a family did not look good, and was laughed at by the people in the capital.
But this also shows that Duchess Zhongyi is not a person who can melt people, if Wen Hui really marries in the future, the proud daughter of this day will become a concubine and daughter-in-law, but it is difficult to do it. Duchess Zhongyi originally looked at her concubine Zhao Chongyi unpleasantly, but Zhao Chongyi was a man, and he had always been taken by his side, and Duchess Zhongyi had no way to interfere. I heard that this is the case, but if you are a concubine's daughter-in-law, then with filial piety and righteousness, you can only be in the inner house, and you will not be rubbed to death by your mother-in-law? I'm afraid that the Duchess of Zhongyi's hatred for the concubine for many years will be vented on the concubine's daughter-in-law. Wen Hui is in her own home, and she is favored by her parents, and her two brothers are even more loving. Even the sisters-in-law also love her, such a baby like a baby bump in her own family marries and rubs the Duchess of Zhongyi, how can she be willing to do this?
Mei Ying couldn't help but start worrying about Wen Hui's future. (To be continued......)
