Chen Wenhui returned home and it was already past lunch. Of course, in the palace, the crown princess also left her to have lunch in the East Palace, but Chen Wenhui postponed it. Just kidding, can the food in the East Palace be as delicious as at home? Also, eating in the East Palace, that's not exhausting, smiling and smiling, where is there any ease of eating at home?

Chen Wenhui and the Bai family were talking about going to the East Palace, and they ate a lot of food, which made the Bai family feel a little distressed. Bai said: "This princess is really, I don't know if it's time for lunch?" And I pulled you to say a few cars. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "She should be very happy today and pulled us to our house as an ally. However, I was also very impressed by what she said. Our family is now relying on the queen mother in the palace, so everything is naturally convenient. For example, when I got married, the queen mother said a word, so I didn't have to serve my mother-in-law, and I lived separately in my own county lord's mansion. That's a lot of savings. However, in the future, the world will be handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince, and this new harem will not be very convenient without our people. ”

Bai said: "Your father and I have considered this. For the time being, we can really only support your lobby sister Chen Wenfeng. After all, she and we are both members of the Chen family. I really can't write two words with this pen. Moreover, the snubbing in the past few years has also worn away Chen Wenfeng's arrogance, letting her know that without our three rooms, she would not be able to achieve things. At this time, it is time for us to work with her. In the future, with her, the new queen, sitting in the middle palace, it will be more convenient for us. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

This time back to Da Chu. In addition to getting married, she really has a lot of things to do, which requires the cooperation of the government and the court, and it is too important to have her own people in the palace.

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "Today, what the eldest sister said, about saving the second sister, does my mother think it can be done?" ”

Bai Shi pursed his lips and said, "Of course it can be done, do you think this thing was done by Chen Wenfeng?" This matter has been planned by the queen mother for a long time, and there should be no problem. Want. It won't be long. The former prince can come out, and there is no problem in being an idle clan. Chen Wenyuan's wealth is gone, but there is no problem in saving his life and keeping food and clothing. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and asked, "What about the fourth sister and the fifth sister?" They have no children. Is it really only possible to enter the royal temple? ”

Bai said: "This matter. Long. Your aunt has already planned it. She waited until the emperor fell ill again, and asked the concubine and the concubine to take the initiative to become a monk in order to pray for the emperor. Either enter the Taoist temple, or enter the temple, so that the reputation is good, and secondly, once the emperor dies in the future, when the ladies in the palace are disposed of, the people who have already become monks cannot be disposed of. Wouldn't that be nice? It's just that this Taoist temple or the matter of who will build the temple is still on hold. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little strange: "How much can this cost?" How much can a Taoist temple cost? How could it be shelved because of this? ”

Bai Shi sneered and said, "This should be established by the maiden family of the two concubines. However, you also know that the maiden home of these two concubines is the second room on the other side of our mansion. Does your second aunt have the kindness to build a Taoist temple for these two concubines? She is not happy to give her money, let alone let her pay? ”

Now Chen Wenhui understands, think about it, the second uncle can really do such a thing.

Chen Wenhui said: "But, is my grandfather just letting it go? The two sisters entered the palace as concubines and helped the eldest aunt compete for favor, isn't it also for the benefit of the family? ”

Bai said: "Of course your grandfather can't look at it like this, it doesn't matter if he looks at it like this, in the future, who will be willing to contribute to the family?" However, every time he talked about building a Taoist temple for the two mothers, he was interrupted by your grandmother, so it was postponed to this day. ”

Chen Wenhui really couldn't help but roll her eyes, this grandmother is really a wonder, no wonder even her own daughter, the queen mother, doesn't like her.

Chen Wenhui said: "Forget it, they don't come forward, just let my sister come forward, isn't it just spending some money?" It's nothing. When it's a blessing, besides, I have other uses for this Taoist temple. Mother, when you go to the palace tomorrow, I will talk to the queen mother and the two sisters, I am going to buy a place in the capital and build a Taoist temple for the two sisters to practice. Please ask the two sisters to choose, whether to build it in the capital, or to build it in the suburbs, a place with good scenery? ”

Bai said: "Since you want to stay away from the contradictions and save your life, it is naturally not good to build in the capital." Let's build it in the suburbs. In this way, what your two sisters want to do in the future, others can't see it, and they can't control it. It's just that you're really at a loss, where is the reason for you, the younger sister, to do this? Otherwise, I will tell the outside that it is a Taoist temple you built, and I will give you the amount of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Mother, look at what you said, how much can it cost to build a Taoist temple in the suburbs?" Don't I have the money yet? I did a rough calculation, it seems that all I have in the black family is 800,000 silver, isn't this a drop in the bucket? ”

Bai Shi was taken aback and said, "I thought it was only two or three hundred thousand, why are there so many?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Where is this a lot, they have accumulated dividends for several years, so many branches, there are four major families." There are also branches in Shanghai City and Suzhou City, and there is no dividend of 800,000 taels. I have prepared this money for my dowry. However, where can the dowry get so much silver, anyway, it will be spent, and it will be spent anywhere. ”

Bai said: "Hey, where is there a dowry like you, preparing your own dowry? Not to mention that our Xiao Chen family is still a well-known rich family in Da Chu, but the parents have no money, and there is no reason for their daughter to prepare a dowry by herself. Spend your money however you want, spend it well, spend it happily, and don't think about the dowry. I've got it ready for you. ”

Bai Shi thought for a while and added: "In a few days, I will show you the dowry list, many things are in the treasury of our house, you take the time to take a look at it in the past few days, I dare to say, it must be the best in Da Chu." ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "Is it okay to be so ostentatious?" I have known that my dowry is good, but if it is better than the princesses, is it too ostentatious? After all, I'm just a county lord. ”

Bai Shi laughed and said: "Our family works so hard, don't we just want your brothers and sisters to get rid of the identity of concubines, we have suffered a loss, don't you want to eat anymore?" Now we have branched out and become the Xiao Chen family, your father is the head of the family, and you and your brothers are serious Chen family members. The concubine of our Chen family, her status is no worse than that of a princess, and her dowry is better than that of a princess, what is it? Back then, Queen Wang's sister got married, and the dowry was richer than the princess's, and the people of the world not only did not say that she was ostentatious, but also praised the Wang family for being good to her daughter? ”

This Chen Wenhui doesn't understand too much. But since my mother said it was okay, so let's do it.

Chen Wenhui didn't bother anymore and said: "Actually, there are some things, just prepare some." I'm so rich, I can't buy anything anywhere, don't prepare too much, it's wasted. ”

Bai smiled and said, "You can rest assured, it's all practical." By the way, you said that the prince wants to give you a garden, leaning on your county lord's mansion, when will you go to see it. How to build, hurry up and prepare, this is really not far from the September wedding. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Don't talk about this garden, it's the county lord's mansion, I haven't seen it yet." After two days, when I vacated it, I took the garden design master of the black family to the county lord's mansion in the first phase, first, to see my new house, and second, to ask the master to help see which garden was designed. Anyway, I'm not afraid to spend money, how to make it beautiful. How else would I spend all my 800,000 taels of silver? ”

Bai laughed.

Here, Chen Wenhui is worried about how to spend money. In the Chen family's mansion over there, Chen Yuanluan was talking to the Li family. Chen Yuanluan said: "You watched Wen Hui come back, how majestic, the servants at home are all rushing to serve. Where does our family Wenjin have such treatment? ”

As soon as Li thought of this, he got angry and said, "What's so great, it's just a rich nouveau riche." You see what she gave to the servants in the house, all of them were given, red gold rings, purses containing gold and silver naked children. There are even small purses with 10 taels of silver tickets in them. It's really the face of the nouveau riche. ”

Chen Yuanluan said: "You don't care if people are nouveau riche, but it's true that people are rich." Look at the gift to us, how wonderful. Don't you like this set of pearl heads for you? The set of coral head noodles for Wen Hao's daughter-in-law, Wen Hao's daughter-in-law is not a baby. And this tortoiseshell eye, the seal of the clams, practical, extravagant, and elegant. We all like it, let alone those servants who are ignorant and uninformed? ”

A hint of gloom flashed on Li's face, earlier, Chen Wenjin also went back to the capital, but where could Chen Wenhui be so generous? In such a comparison, now the whole house is saying that Chen Wenhui is stronger than Chen Wenjin, how can this make her swallow this breath.

Chen Yuanluan said: "Wen Hui is really a generous girl. Looking back, we have to let Wenjin follow and learn, don't be petty. Also, madam, what did the queen say about building a Taoist temple for the concubine and the lady? It's not to build a Taoist temple in the capital, but on the edge of the capital, how much can it cost to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to build a Taoist temple? You are so hesitant, beware of the queen being angry. ”

When Li heard this, he became angry and asked her to take out the money to build a house for Aunt Sun's daughter, how could it be? (To be continued......)
