Chapter 221: Come With Me

Chen Wenhui came out of the city lord's mansion and returned to the courtyard of his home in Shanghai. The Chen family's property in Shanghai City has almost been sold, and only this original courtyard remains. Chen Wenhui had lived here for more than a year, so she was naturally very familiar with it, and was about to go back to rest, when Yujin came to report that Wan Shuhui had been waiting in the house for a long time.

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay, let her come to the flower hall, I'll go over." ”

Chen Wenhui changed into a homely dress, removed the headdress on her head, and just tied her hair with a ribbon. That's how I met Wan Shuhui.

Wan Shuhui had waited for most of the day, but she didn't see Chen Wenhui, and she was worried, but now she saw Chen Wenhui, who looked like a little girl dressed casually, and her heart suddenly settled down. The two of them sat and drank the tea boiled by Yujin, Chen Wenhui said: "Now this tea is autumn tea, and it will take a few months to drink spring tea." ”

Wan Shuhui said with a smile: "This autumn tea does not have the fragrance of spring tea, but it has a different flavor and is not bad." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Are you going to stay in Shanghai City, or are you going to go to Nanyang with me?" ”

Shuhui shook her spirit and said, "I've been waiting for news from the girl. I have explained all the affairs of the financial officer of Shanghai City, and I waited for the girl's call, so I followed the girl to Nanyang. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You are very quick to move." ”

Wan Shuhui also smiled and said, "I read the Di newspaper and said that the girl has become the lord of Wenhui." Princess Lichuan told me that you would give the emperor the shares of Shanghai City. I was shocked when I heard it, such a big benefit, the girl said that she could give it away. It's a decision that no one else can match. Princess Lichuan admired it very much. At that time. I knew it. I'm the end of my life as a treasurer. I was the finance officer to show the girl the income of Shanghai City. Now that the girl has given away this share, what else do I see? It's better to quickly give up the position to those officials of the imperial court. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "You are shrewd. Actually, I just don't want this benefit, Princess Lichuan can also keep you, as long as Princess Lichuan is here, your financial officer is still very stable. This is a third-grade official. ”

Wan Shuhui pursed her lips and said: "What is the third-grade official, how can it not be as important as his own foundation." I'm just staying here, just like the girl said. With Princess Lichuan under her protection, no one dares to let me down as a financial officer. However, that official's salary of a few taels of silver a year is not as much as the dividends I get in the bank. I thought that if the girl came to Nanyang to establish a foundation, I also wanted to develop a foundation of my own in Nanyang, and I also adopted a child from our family as my adopted son. In the future, I will also be able to build a stronger family than my mother's family before me, and I am the ancestor of the family. ”

This was unexpected by Chen Wenhui: "Your idea is really long-term." The action is really fast. What about the adopted child? What about parents? How old is the child? Is it close to you? Actually, I think you're still young. It's completely possible to remarry and have a child of your own. ”

As soon as she said this, Wan Shuhui blushed and said, "Why does the girl say everything?" I'm also forced, hey, how can I say that? I spent the first half of my life buried in the Assassin's Mansion, and there, I didn't suffer less. This child can't be born, so I have long since died of the idea of getting married. Don't hide it from the girl, in the past few years that I have been a financial officer, many people have shown favor to me, but for men, I have long been cold. It's better to take your fate into your own hands than to leave your fate in the hands of a man. ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly understood when she heard this, it must have been when she was an aunt, she did something when she was pregnant in the house and was being favored by others, and now she can't give birth anymore, thinking of this, Chen Wenhui doesn't know what to say.

Wan Shuhui said: "Originally, my talent was okay, at least in terms of business, especially in opening a bank, I may be the most talented person in our family's generation." It's a pity that I'm a girl and can't inherit the family business, and the people in my family value my appearance more. The brothers of the same generation in the family were jealous of the virtuous and jealous, afraid that my talent would surpass theirs and take away the inheritance of the family, so Baba gave me to Yan Songbai as an aunt. After entering the Yan Mansion, that was the beginning of bad luck. Originally, I didn't think about it so much. When I first entered the mansion, Yan Songbai was very good to me, he was personable and talented, so I naturally focused on him, in order to manage the industry in the Assassin Mansion, I was loyal, and my talent was also appreciated by Yan Songbai, and handed over the housekeeping management of the mansion to me. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Yan Songbai had a new love, so he naturally left me aside, even if I was pregnant, it just made him happy for a while, and soon he was attacked by other aunts in the house, which caused me to be severely injured and the child was gone. After Yan Songbai learned that I couldn't have children, he immediately lost his feelings for me, and just treated me as a housekeeper and managed the housework for him. At this time, my mother's family not only did not help me, but also asked me to fight for the interests of the family in front of Yan Songbai all day long. You say, can I not be discouraged? ”

Wan Shuhui paused when she said this, remembering the previous events, Wan Shuhui still couldn't help but shed tears. Wiping her tears, Wan Shuhui continued: "The girls all knew about the later things, when Yan Songbai went back to the capital, in those days, I was really worried, seeing that the aunts around me, who had enmity with me back then, and who had feelings with me, were all given away, replaced, and taken away by him. These women are all women from good families, they are all from rich families like me, and they grew up in fine clothes and jade food since they were children, and they are far away from their mother's house and have become rootless wanderers, and even, after some of them have been concubines for a few days, they were sold by the main room for a reason, and there are fireworks in the house. Can I not feel chills when I look at it? Fortunately, I was prepared, and then I found a way to escape. But what if I returned to Qingyang City? The family has been ruined by those brothers who don't make it a weapon.,I'm alone.,Anyone can bully.,If I hadn't met the girl.,Maybe I'll have to go to the land of fireworks.,That's better than death.。 Where can you still be an official like you are now? Power in your hands? ”

Chen Wenhui thinks about it, women are really very narrow in this era.

Wan Shuhui said: "Now that I am in power, many people have shown favor to me, but do I dare to marry?" I'm already old, and I'm either going to marry someone and be a stepfamily, or I'm not going to be a concubine. To be a concubine, I would rather die than die. I've suffered too much of this. It's not so easy to do a steproom either. How about the other party? Will there be three wives and four concubines, and I have to deal with the concubines every day, and I am very tired to think about it. If I can have children, have children, and have a stable position, this is impossible, you say, girl, do I dare to marry? After thinking about it, I'd better follow the girl. The girl won't fail me. Moreover, the girl is going to Nanyang to build a new city, and that place is beyond the control of the emperor. We are the emperor of the soil, I also have some savings in my hands, with my ability, I will definitely be able to establish a new family in Nanyang New Town, I am the head of the family, fate is in my own hands, it is heartwarming to think about, how can I care about the temporary three-grade financial officer of the imperial court? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "What you said is very reasonable. We women, no matter how capable we are, are always women in Dachu, and we can't become the climate, but in my new city, we are the masters, and no one can control them. We have our own territory, our own officials, and our own army, and those Confucian scholars have to learn what we let us learn. This is true freedom. ”

Wan Shuhui said excitedly: "That's what I thought. Sure enough, the girl wants to build a world different from the Central Plains in Nanyang. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "You are smart, so you were tricked out." Naturally, my city is my decision, so why should I choose Luzon as a place? Luzon Island has many mountains, many volcanoes, many earthquakes, and few plains, where can it be compared, the part of the South Sea that leans on the mainland? It's a good place to grow rice, and it's also a good place to produce jadeite. But it is close to the mainland, and Da Chu can influence it at any time. But Luzon is different, it is isolated from the outside world, and it is not easy to get this place. The emperor is far away, that is, the emperor has no idea about such a distant place, and he can't do it if he has an idea, it's too far, across the ocean, how to manage it? Aren't you left to me? ”

Wan Shuhui said: "In such a place of free development, it is worth exchanging 10% of the income of Shanghai City, or exchanging the entire Shanghai City." ”

Chen Wenhui showed an appreciative look and said, "I knew you could understand my mind." Okay, you get ready and explain everything here in Dachu Bank. This is the foundation, and it cannot be lost yet. We are going to Nanyang to set up a Nanyang Bank, and I want to lend money to the people who go to Nanyang to promote economic growth. As for the silver, you don't have to worry. First, I still have a lot of silver left, and second, several families have to inject capital into our Nanyang Bank, so there is no shortage of our silver, only you are at the helm. ”

Wan Shuhui was very excited when she heard this, and said, "Girl, I will definitely be able to build this new Nanyang Bank well." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Not only this bank will be handed over to you, but also the financial officer of my new city is also you, and of course it is also the position of Zheng Sanpin." Therefore, your official position has not been reduced, but this time you are an official on our own territory, and there are no people and families to take care of, and you can let go of it. ”

Wan Shuhui didn't expect such a good thing to wait for her, and suddenly felt that the future was bright. (To be continued......)
